Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

Chapter 37 is awesome! (6K -in- newbies please read it!!!)

36. Miracle God

In the real world, Shirou, whose inner demon was running wild, issued a "confession" that shattered everyone's three views.

In the spiritual world, Shirou and Kyobaku's battle continues.

Logically speaking, both parties are the same person, but Shirou is clearly at a disadvantage in the fight between the spiritual worlds in terms of strength, speed, and reaction ability!

"What's wrong Shirou? Can you keep up!?"

This guy is different from Shirou who is as silent as a sword. He keeps muttering while fighting!

Kyobaku: "Don't you understand? For freaks like you (me), it's not emotion that drives our instincts, it's reason! Reason is Shirou Emiya's true animal nature!"

【Comprehension Difficulty: 75】

[Shirou's 'understanding': 1D100=48]

Xu Bai: "You are now closer to a 'beast' than a complete 'human'!"

It was as if all the words that Shirou had kept in his heart and would not say out loud were poured out like water from a floodgate!

Shirou just remained silent. He seemed to have understood what he said. The Xubai in front of him seemed to want to hear Shirou's answer very much.

So Shirou could only honestly and frankly express his feelings from the bottom of his heart:

"what are you talking about?"

Xu Bai suddenly swung out a crescent-shaped sword energy, blasting Shirou a hundred meters away.

Shirou's spiritual world roughly restores the scene of hell in the center of Fuyuki City that Shirou experienced a month ago.

However, there is no concept of ground and sky here. The burning city ruins and many damaged skyscrapers are all floating in the air, which has become the foothold for Shirou and Xubai's confrontation.

Shirou asked back, trying to get information, "What on earth are you?"

Xu Bai immediately replied: "I am you and you are me. Even if I take a shortcut and materialize with the power of the dragon demon, this will not change.
I am your strength

I am your origin

I am the sword in the deepest part of your soul!

Come try to hold me tight, Shirou!
——Otherwise, I will use you!"

【Comprehension Difficulty: 50】

[Shirou's 'understanding': 1D100=13 (What's wrong with you?)]

Shirou answered truthfully, "I don't understand."

Xu Bai carried the sword on his shoulder.

At this moment, even the Dragon Demon seemed to be speechless. His voice—now her voice—came into Xu Bai's ears: "It seems that his ears are not very good."

Xu Bai shook his head: "No, it's just that as a 'sensible' person, he refuses to understand and believe. He doesn't even believe in himself, he only believes in Tosaka and Musashi."

Shirou heard this, and he retorted: "You seem to want to express that 'you are not my enemy', but you are also mixing it up with the Dragon Demon when you say this. If you really want to express your sincerity, why not cut off the connection with the Dragon Demon first and then let's talk it over."

"No." Xu Bai flatly refused.

"Why?" Shirou didn't get angry, but just asked calmly.

"Because Emiya Shirou's instinct, his rationality suppressed by his emotions, desires--"

Once again, Xu Bai grasped the chain and spun the nameless knife in his hand, throwing it out like a meteor hammer!

"——Fight! It's awesome!"

"You should give it a try too. Accept me (this power)! Completely merge with me (this power) - Shirou!"

Shirou jumped and dodged while flatly refusing, "Rin and Ms. Musashi said that this is a dangerous power. You can try to control it but you must never merge with it, because it is the same as being swallowed by the power."

Xu Bai: "Woman, woman, woman——Can you not live without the orders of those two women!?"

"I don't know if Rin is right, but she is a good person who can risk her life to save someone she doesn't know. Rin is different from Musashi. She is not dangerous." Shirou confessed, "I don't know if my thoughts are right, but I know that my thoughts are dangerous, so I don't trust myself."

Xu Bai finally couldn't help it: "What nonsense are you talking about!?"

Shirou immediately asked back, "Are your ears not very good?"

The Dragon Demon said in surprise beside Xu Bai's ear: "You quite bear a grudge."

Xu Bai: “Fuck!”

Xu Bai's figure disappeared, and the next moment he appeared in front of Shirou!
His appearance has also changed, from the original inverted version of Shirou, who looked like a seven-year-old, to a seven-year-old female version of the Dragon Demon!

"Will you listen to me now?!"

Without thinking, Shirou gave him a look of "looking at a fool.jpg"

The dragon demon couldn't help but tease: "It seems that you are not charming enough."

Xu Bai: "Isn't this your problem?!"

Shirou said seriously: "I think it's your (Kyūbai) problem. Judging from her appearance alone, based on the aesthetics I learned from Miss Musashi, she can be considered a first-class beauty."

Xu Bai: “It’s so noisy!”

Xu Bai changed her appearance again, adjusting her age from a seven-year-old girl.

Adults are taller than children, have longer legs and feet, and can attack at a larger range, so they will naturally gain an advantage in hand-to-hand combat.

Although Shirou was trying to fan the flames and sow discord between the Dragon Demon and the White Star, he knew it was useless. Compared to those——

In fact, Shirou has already figured out a little bit of fighting methods in the spiritual world through the passionate interactions with Kyobaku in various senses during this period.

The answer is: imagination.

Theoretically, Shirou can also adjust the age of his spiritual body.

But Shirou couldn't imagine what he would look like when he grew up.

Changing your thinking, how about imagining that your body is Miss Musashi's body?

Shirou was confident that he could recreate this 100% perfectly, but the problem was that Shirou couldn't imagine 'the feeling of controlling Miss Musashi's body'.

on the other hand.

The reason why Xu Bai in front of him could so easily transform into the Dragon Demon's posture and control the Dragon Demon's body to fight was because he had formed a deep contractual relationship with the Dragon Demon and had the Dragon Demon's support and assistance.

But Shirou also has his own ideas.

When the angry Xu Bai swung a crescent-shaped sword energy as big as a building, covering all the dodge routes around Shirou, Shirou began to "try".

[Shirou tries to learn the 'fighting method' in the spiritual world]

[Difficulty: 80]

[Shirou's 'Learning': 1D100=94 (Why is it higher than expected at this time?)]

Use your imagination!

(Buddha is in the heart)
(And I am in the heart now!)
(The Guanyin Bodhisattva in my heart is right here!)
The phantom of a Bodhisattva with horse ears and a pony tail, who looked like a horse girl version of Toosaka Rin wearing a Guanyin suit, appeared behind Shirou again.

However, this time she is not just a symbolic shadow, but the one who assists Shirou in the battle in the spiritual world - the Guanyin in his heart!
Horse-Headed Avalokitesvara! Also known as the innate Avalokitesvara Dharmakaya, it is one of the six Avalokitesvaras and the guardian of the animal realm in the six realms. It can subdue the Rakshasas and kill the ghosts and gods!

Just like controlling his own stand, Shirou controlled the Horse-Headed Guanyin Rin Bodhisattva to draw out the huge Buddha sword, and also swung out a deep red crescent-shaped sword energy, splitting the blue-white sword energy of Xu Bai into two!
Xu Bai couldn't help but complain: "Which horse-headed Guanyin looks like this? Others have a horse head on their heads, so they are called this, where is your horse head?"

Shirou responded without any servility: "Buddha is not in the temple, but in the heart. Besides, Miss Musashi said that appearance is fighting power!"

"Is all you know all day long 'Miss Musashi said' and 'Rin said'? Can't you just say it yourself!?"

Shirou didn't answer.

But Horse-Headed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva responded with practical action: a chain connected to the huge Buddha sword appeared on the hilt of the sword. Horse-Headed Avalokitesvara immediately grabbed the chain and spun the demon-killing Buddha sword like a meteor hammer!

Shirou's and Kannon's (Tousaka Rin) voices overlapped: "If you want to fight, then fight. For demons like you, my goal has always been only one - to kill!"

That's right.

It's very simple.

Shirou really didn't understand what Kyobaku, who was in cahoots with the Dragon Demon, was trying to instill in him.

But since it is all mixed up with the dragon demon, it doesn't matter if you don't listen. It's just as good if you don't understand. Anyway, they must be all evil.

Since it is a crooked way, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it.

Kill you! Very important!

Will to fight, murderous intent, violence - using thunderbolts to show a compassionate heart, this is what Musashi taught Shirou!

war!
Clash!
Xu Bai laughed loudly, and his voice overlapped with the Dragon Demon's, echoing in the spiritual world like a harsh electronic music.

"That's right! You are right, but you haven't enjoyed it enough, and you haven't released your 'animal nature' enough!"

The only thing that both sides seem to be able to reach some consensus on is the issue of "killing".

“Don’t kill, and hatred will never end;

I do not kill, so what is the difference between a strong or weak person like me?

Do not kill, all sentient beings are sins;
Do not kill, dreams and illusions are empty;

Do not kill, fear the ups and downs of life;
Don’t kill, beauty is only fleeting;

If you do not kill, you will not be freed from suffering;

Do not kill -- all actions are meaningless!!!"

But unlike Shirou, he seemed to enjoy the act of 'killing' itself.

But Shirou had learned 'restraint' from Miss Musashi, and knew that the thought of enjoying fighting itself was very dangerous, so he suppressed it.

But Kyobaku is completely unrestrained. No, it should be said that Kyobaku is the part of Shirou that is usually "suppressed"!
Shirou calmly brought out the "great truth" he had read in a book: "To kill is not to kill people, to kill is to protect life, to kill for the sake of killing is only the degenerate devil's way."

Xu Bai sneered: "You are just repeating these words like a parrot. Do you believe them?"

There is no point in talking any more, let’s fight!

[Shirou Vs. Kyobaku]

[Type-Moon Classic: I Kill Myself]

[Shirou's 'Improvisation (Emotion)': 1D100=14]

[Shirou's 'Buddha in the Heart''s 'Support': 100]

[Total: 114]

[Xu Bai's 'Improvisation (Rationality and Instinct)': 1D100=96]

[Xu Bai's 'Use Dragon Demon Power': 1D300=262]

[Total: 358] Shirou was just beginning to experiment with the spirit world combat method, and before he had time to increase his strength, he was defeated in his first confrontation.

Because accompanied by a dragon's roar, a black earth dragon suddenly appeared in the spiritual world and rushed out from Shirou's side!
Shirou was caught off guard and was knocked flying. He broke through the window of a building in the spiritual world and fell into the room. He looked so miserable!

However, thanks to the cultural lessons that Toosaka Rin had given Shirou during this period, Shirou knew what had just happened, what that earth dragon was, and why it suddenly appeared.

It is still the power of the dragon demon.

In addition to the "Power of the Absolute Demon King" that the Dragon Demon possesses as an evil god,

In addition to the "Power and Thousands of Magic" that the God of Magic possesses

There is also the 'Power of the Dragon's Shadow' that the Dragon God, the Earth Mother God, possesses.

According to legend, after the dragon demon was defeated by the god of war Bahram, the god of war was unable to kill the dragon demon, so he nailed it to the holy mountain.

The blood shed by the dragon demon turned into a poisonous river, from which countless monsters were born.

Kyobaku used the power of the Dragon Demon as the Earth Mother Goddess to create an earth dragon, which caught Shirou off guard. Before Shirou could increase his power in time, he was whipped away by the earth dragon's tail.

In Shirou's eyes.
This further confirmed that the thing in front of him was a trick used by the Dragon Demon to try to deal with him.

It could be to seduce, deceive, or devour.

After all, during the month of special training before the ceremony, Toosaka Rin and Shirou analyzed many possible situations that might be encountered after the ceremony began.

Among them is the content: "Depending on different traditions, there are stories such as Indra transforming into a beautiful woman to seduce the dragon demon or the dragon demon transforming into a beautiful woman to seduce Indra, so you have to be careful."

Because of Toosaka Rin's reminder, Shirou had already prepared himself for this situation.

So whatever Dragon Demon says is useless to Shirou!
Shirou checked his body for the damage caused by the battle just now.

[Damage caused by Kyūbai to Shirou's spirit body (percentage): 1D100=1 (???)]

——.So that’s how it is. I understand.

Shirou felt that he understood, that he understood completely.

That is to say-

Shirou: This guy doesn't intend to kill me now. According to Rin, her goal is definitely to get my body! I absolutely cannot let the Dragon Demon succeed!
Then Shirou hesitated again: According to Rin, I can try to reproduce the tricks in the myth and try to seduce the dragon demon in turn, but how to do it specifically? How can I do it?
Shirou was in a dilemma.

I was struggling over how to kill the 'dragon demon' in front of me.

Xu Bai seemed to have misunderstood something. He stepped on the black earth dragon and came in front of Shirou in the same adult version of the dragon demon, looking down at him due to the height difference.

Then he brought up the original topic:

"Shirou, what do you think is the difference between a [King] and a [Mount]?"

But this time he did not let Shirou answer, but continued on his own:

"I'm not asking childish questions like what's the difference between a human and a horse, or between two legs and four legs.
Think about it: two people with exactly the same posture, abilities, and strengths.

So who will be the king to dominate the battle, and who will be the mount to increase combat power?

I'm asking what the difference between the two is!
The answer is - instinct! "

The passionate Kyohaku was preaching something to the expressionless Shirou, trying to make him accept it:
“Normally, the [King] represents a person’s rationality, and the [Mount] represents a person’s animality. The animality bursts forth with power, and the [King] uses rationality to suppress and control the madness of the [animality], thereby using power more efficiently.

——But Shirou, you (me), a freak, are different.

Because of the fire in Fuyuki City, because the first person you met was Miss Musashi, because of the sequelae of the mushroom man's physique, because of Miss Musashi's 1D100=100 kiss, because you engraved her into the deepest part of your soul——

The original common sense is turned upside down in your case.

Your rationality has learned from Miss Musashi her most prominent emotion on the surface, 'bloodthirstiness and aggressiveness', which is Musashi's bestiality.

But your sensibility has learned the "restraint" deep in Miss Musashi's heart, which is the result of Musashi's acquired training. She will not go crazy because of killing, but has the rationality to suppress and use this desire.

Yes, that’s where the problem lies!”

Kyobaku glared at Shirou:
"Your rationality has learned 'beastiality', but your sensibility has learned 'restraint'!
Instinct and rationality, two emotions that should be contradictory to each other, were thought to be integrated in you, but were completely sealed up by your sensibility!
And your sentimentality is just ridiculous. 'It might hurt Musashi and Rin so I can't indulge myself.'

Now you lack both rationality and explicit "instinct"!
How sharp can a blade with a sheath be?
The result of the reversal is that you are simply unable to effectively exert your power!

Then the Dragon Demon accidentally found a loophole that she herself had not thought existed!

——Of course, this is an opportunity for me (you)
Come and make a decision. If you understand, then make a decision.”

Xu Bai raised the nameless sword in his hand and pointed it at Shirou in front of him.

His voice overlapped with the dragon demon's voice, harsh and noisy, but seemed to contain some kind of different charm.

That is the temptation of the powerful force that is so close!

"Come at the call of ritual"

Kyobaku and Ryuuma looked down at Shirou, and their words were meant to tempt him to "accept the power":
"——May I ask, are you my Contract Master?"

[This is your last chance, Shirou, can you understand? (If you understand, you will have to fight against the 'temptation of power')]

[Difficulty: 75]

[Shirou's 'inspiration': 1D100=86 (You actually understood!?)]

【Finally understood】

【So.】

[I believe many people have heard this saying: Sometimes, too much inspiration is not necessarily a good thing]

[For certain types of temptation traps, as long as you don’t understand or don’t know what they are saying, you won’t fall for them]

[Now, because Shirou understood, the effect begins to take effect. If Shirou is hit, he will fall into a state of being "swallowed by power" (the difficulty of rescuing Rin and Musashi will increase, and the difficulty of helping Shirou truly master this power will increase greatly)]

[Then, Shirou, what about the 'temptation of power' before you?]

[1/7/9, Shirou failed to react (difficulty level: 90)]

【2/6, categorically rejected! 】

【3/4/5/8、士郎成功打出‘五智真言’（对抗难度75）】

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=2】

The devil is evil! The devil is perverse!
Rin had told Shirou a long time ago: When facing the dragon demon's spell attack on you, if there is something tempting you to do something, you just need to mindlessly click No! Just mindlessly refuse!

The power bestowed by the evil god?
You can't believe that kind of thing!
The only thing you can believe is - kill!

Ms. Musashi said:

Kill her! Exterminate the demon!
Take it from her again!

The power gained through strength is the power that truly belongs to you!
Xu Bai suppressed his anger and asked, "What do you mean?"

Shirou, with his usual expressionless face, got ready for the fight again.

(I just need to delay as much time as possible. His advantage is that he has a foreign player, Long Mo, to play and train for him, so if I want to win, I have to wait.
Waiting for Rin and Ms. Musashi from the outside world to help me create opportunities!)

Can it be done?
Of course!
Shirou trusts Rin and Ms. Musashi unconditionally!
As for the question in front of me?
"I'm too lazy to reason with you. You don't deserve to listen."

Flatly refuse!

Xu Bai: "You TM——"

Shirou drew back his sword and slashed at Xubai's neck. His movements were smooth and seamless, without any hesitation at all!
What kind of evil ways and what kind of temptations of forbidden powers?

Kill him first!
☆

real world.

Musashi and Toosaka Rin didn't know that because of Shirou's activeness - or stubbornness - Shirou, whose inner demon had gone berserk, was unable to benefit from further strengthening effects on the battlefield in the real world.

Toosaka Rin also made up her mind to help Musashi in the battle: "Ms. Musashi! Please let go and fight with all your strength! As long as you are not dead - no, even if you are dead, as long as you haven't been dead for too long! I can save you!"

Toosaka Rin silently clenched the most precious ancestral magic gem in her hand:
"We can't let the dragon demon really devour and assimilate Shirou! Remember to attack the mask first!"

Upon hearing this, Musashi did not hesitate at all, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time. He drew out his double swords, performed Niten Ichiryu swordsmanship, and rushed straight towards Shirou under the cover of his stand-in Kurigara!

"Shirou"

The dragon demon, who had transformed into a female body, instructed Shirou, just like Toosaka Rin commanded Musashi:

"The Eye of Heaven is the ultimate abnormal power above the power of God. Even with my assistance, your current three projections are far from being able to project its effects. You can try, but pure hand-to-hand combat may not be good for you."

Shirou did not hesitate. After hearing this, he immediately retreated and jumped backwards, while forming a seal and casting a spell:
"Fire Release: Phoenix Immortal Fire Technique!"

More than fifty fireballs as big as footballs turned into a barrage, rushing towards Musashi and Toosaka Rin!
By gaining the power of the Dragon Demon's 'Thousand Magic', Shirou is equivalent to obtaining a fragment of the power of the 'God of Magic'.

Although the total amount of magic power remains unchanged, the efficiency of magic power utilization is greatly improved (equivalent to a significant reduction in the cost of casting spells).

In addition, the "right to use" of all magic is released - magic has "attributes" and "characteristics". If the attributes and characteristics are inconsistent, the power of those inappropriate spells will be greatly reduced or even unusable if they are forcibly performed.

In a nutshell, the effect of this power is actually equivalent to
It is equivalent to Shirou obtaining the physique of Toosaka Rin.

It's not that this power is weak, it's mainly because Toosaka Rin's innate physique as a 'great elementalist' who is nearly omnipotent and can use any type of technique with maximum power is too strong.

In terms of physical advantage alone, Toosaka Rin is even far superior to most of Caster's Heroic Spirit Servants. Even the demigod magicians of the mythological era may not be able to compare with Toosaka Rin in terms of physique.

It's better to say that Toosaka Rin's physique is originally at the god level - a very high level among gods, the kind that can be used directly as the body of a top goddess.

Shirou immediately said to the Dragon Demon, "It doesn't matter if you're a bit savage, just give me more."

The dragon demon immediately understood what Shirou meant.

So, she deliberately rushed towards Musashi who was rushing in front of her, and Tōsaka Rin who was hiding from the Phoenix Fire Jutsu with a strengthening magic on herself.

Give a provocative look.

then
The female dragon demon phantom leaned down behind Shirou.
Lips approach Shirou's neck!

Bite it like a kiss!

The sharp teeth pierce into the skin and flesh, injecting its own power (blood) into it!

Intends to carve the dragon demon's curse mark on Shirou's body!
Musashi: “!!!”

Toosaka Rin: "!!!"
