A certain crossover anime's nuclear-powered sword immortal

Page 2

Even with the warm winter sun high in the sky, there is still a chilling sensation, like the cold surface of a knife pressed against your cheek.

As Shirou walked along the road, his gaze would occasionally drift to the white dot in the lower right corner of his vision.

No matter how much you focus your attention on it, it only causes the attribute panel to appear and disappear frequently in front of your eyes.

"system?"

Shirou tentatively called out.

The next second, a slightly feminine electronic voice suddenly rang out in my mind.

[I am here.]

I can't believe it actually exists!

Shirou became slightly excited and quickly asked.

"System, do you have any other functions?"

[have.]

The feminine electronic voice answered very briefly, giving off a very aloof feeling.

Shirou didn't seem to mind and continued to ask the system questions.

"So how do I use it?"

[This feature is yet to be enabled.]

"what?"

Shirou was taken aback upon hearing this.

How can I activate it?

[This feature is yet to be enabled.]

The voice remained as calm as ever.

Are you a broken record?

I tried several more times, but got the same answer.

There must be some way to activate it...

With the school in sight, Shirou, lost in thought, stopped talking to the unresponsive system and stepped into the campus.

Humming a song, Shirou stepped onto the stairs of the school building.

"Starting today, I'm going to use the toilet by myself!"

Going up to the second floor of the school building, Shirou opened the classroom door.

Through the back door, a group of elementary school students came into view, chattering noisily. The girls' group was clearly separated from the boys' group.

After settling into his seat, Shirou rested his chin on his hand and listlessly gazed out the window at the bare cherry blossom tree. The pale purplish-brown branches had been frozen white by frost.

The chatter of the surrounding elementary school students reached my ears.

Did you watch that Kamen Rider video from yesterday?

"I saw it! It's amazing, right? It can even grow to a gigantic size!"

"I really want to grow bigger too!"

"Hey, did you sneak off to the arcade yesterday? I saw you playing King of Fighters!"

"Whoa! You actually found out!?"

"Hmph~ You don't want your mom to find out you secretly went to the arcade to play King of Fighters, do you? Then be a good girl... and take me with you after school!"

"Gulp... Alright then."

The students did not disturb each other, forming small groups to discuss topics such as Kamen Rider and King of Fighters with their friends.

Although he looks seven years old, Shirou, whose mindset is completely different from that of a child, has no interest in these things.

In the lower right corner of the blackboard at the front of the classroom, today's number and the name of the student on duty were written in white chalk.

"It's already Friday..."

In other words, after today, it will be Saturday.

……

Elementary school courses were rather boring for Shirou.

After school, he left the school directly.

It was already dusk.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the streets and alleys, and orange rays of light flew between the buildings.

As the night grew later, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased.

In fact, Fuyuki City has already issued a curfew order in the past few days.

With a recent series of bizarre murders and abductions, police are urging citizens to stay home at night, and smart people have heeded this advice.

Human instincts should be able to sense what evil lurks in the darkness of Xindu today.

The sudden cracks that appeared in what was once a peaceful daily life shook the hearts of everyone.

Shirou, who was almost at his doorstep, suddenly noticed something and looked up at the sky.

The sky above Fuyuki City was stained with blood, and even the moon appeared increasingly crimson.

boom----!

A loud explosion came from the direction of Yuanzang Mountain.

Immediately afterwards, Shirou saw "it".

It was a black sun, hanging high in the sky, like a symbol of the end of the world.

"All the evil in this world...!?"

The moment Shirou saw the black sun, his pupils involuntarily contracted.

They might not even have time to escape, or they might already have nowhere to run.

The black mud, filled with the curse of "all the evil in this world," possessed the destructive power to burn away all life, and at this moment it fell in large quantities from the black sun in the sky like a waterfall.

That wasn't a black sun, but a huge "hole" from which black mud continuously flowed out.

The slaughter began, and the deadly mud, having sensed the presence of human life, transformed into a scorching curse that assailed them.

The cursed waterfall cascading from the sky never stopped, and the black mud had already submerged a large number of buildings in the blink of an eye.

A surging black wave spread through the city's streets and alleys, sweeping away helpless people like a tsunami.

Houses were burned down, courtyards were burned down.

Whether they were trying to escape or already trembling in fear, they were all burned to ashes.

The “all evil of this world” that had been waiting inside the Greater Grail for sixty years, as if celebrating its brief release, ruthlessly stripped away all life it came into contact with.

"Damn it! It had to be today!"

Shirou quickened his pace and ran towards home.

However, this street, built of asphalt and concrete, has lost its former color under the cover of black mud.

The "hole" in the sky disappeared, and the black mud stopped flowing out, but the mud brought about a large-scale fire, and the people who could not escape turned into charred corpses one after another.

The night sky was painted with magnificent crimson flames, while on the ground, an endless feast of death unfolded.

Life and city on the verge of destruction were thus laid bare before Shirou.

Large swathes of black mud fell from above the building, engulfing Shirou's small, seven-year-old body.

At that moment, Shirou felt intense pain throughout his entire body; his young body simply could not withstand such pain.

In the last moment before his consciousness faded, Shirou saw a scene.

A blond man emerged from the black mud and stood atop the pile of ruins, his jade-like red eyes looking down with indifferent gaze.

cut.

Beside him, a burly, black-haired man also stood up from the black mud. His eyes showed impatience and madness, as well as an intense desire for something.

Both of them turned their gazes to the other side, watching the figure emerge from the leaping flames.

He was a man whose clothes were tattered and stained with black dirt. He walked unsteadily like a sleepwalker, wandering aimlessly through the burning street.

His once sharp gaze had vanished, his eyes now empty and lifeless. He seemed so absent-minded that he probably couldn't even recognize things right in front of him. All his fighting spirit had long since vanished, leaving only emptiness.

The man walked like a zombie, creating an apocalyptic atmosphere.

In Shirou's already blurred vision, only this final scene remained.

Gradually, consciousness drifted away from reality.

Shirou felt his pain disappear, his sense of existence disappear as well, and even his thoughts seemed to blur within the boundaries of dimensions.

Perhaps that's why the emotionless synthesized voice that followed was so clear.
