Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

That was a sense that posed a threat to his life, constantly reminding Shirou Emiya.

"Projection started (Trace on)!!!"

Without any hesitation, under such a life-threatening situation, Shirou Emiya projected at full power.

"boom--!"

With an incredibly loud roar, the street beneath Shirou Emiya's feet exploded.

The incredibly violent dark red flames pierced through the rubble, mixed with countless sharp swords, tearing apart the air and everything in their path, as if the earth itself had been enraged. A vast area beneath Shirou Emiya's feet was completely pulverized.

Dark red flames, as terrifying as ocean waves, surged from the ground.

In the instant that Shirou Emiya reacted, the entire street was shattered into pieces by that single blow.

A violent heatwave crashed towards Shirou Emiya like a shredder.

Silk threads formed in front of Shirou Emiya, and a short sword transformed into armor at incredible speed, covering it. A pair of beast-like wings unfurled from Shirou Emiya's back.

Despite the powerful impact, Shirou Emiya managed to use [Demon Possession] to spread his wings and fly into the sky.

One building after another was reduced to dust amidst the roaring flames.

The swords, crackling with dark red flames and turning into pulverizers, devoured everything around Shirou Emiya in an instant, leaving only endless dust in the air.

In the blink of an eye, everything was reduced to ruins.

The Crimson Apostles don't care how distorted the real world will be, nor will they choose to place the battlefield in the suburbs in order to reduce human casualties.

As long as the seal remains in place, the Flame Haze warriors outside will have no idea how powerful the distortions are.

Because sealing not only provided a battle scene for the Flame Haze warriors and Crimson World apostles, but also severed all cause and effect.

After all, all the losses caused here can be made up for with the power of existence, so that the distortion of the present world will not be so serious.

But these are all things that Flame Hazes are required to do; the Crimson Denizens don't care about any of it.

This power mercilessly transformed the entire street into a hellish landscape. Dark red flames swept across the land, and sharp swords relentlessly tore everything apart. Without any pause, this attack utterly destroyed everything.

Only ruins remain, constantly being burned by dark red flames, turning into a sea of ​​fire.

As Shirou Emiya soared into the sky, he looked down at everything beneath him, and his expression became deeply moved.

"Once again, I have witnessed hell!"

Emiya Shirou's usually steady eyes began to tremble, and the veins on his hand, which gripped the bow tightly, bulged.

Such ruins, such a sea of ​​fire, felt familiar to Shirou Emiya, reminding him of the memories deeply etched into his mind and soul.

Was everything there as hopeless as it is now?

In what kind of despair did Kiritsugu find him?

And how did he shoulder the responsibility for the lives of all those who were not saved in that disaster?

"Unforgivable!"

"Unforgivable!"

"Unforgivable!"

Shirou Emiya could only watch the disaster beneath him, shouting angrily that no living being could survive such a catastrophe.

Not to mention, within the sealed-off area, humans have no ability to resist or save themselves.

They can only be swallowed up without any hope or awareness.

To die without being remembered.

Emiya Shirou pounded his chest helplessly. He couldn't do anything, not even like Kiritsugu, to break into the ruins and search for that elusive hope.

Because at this moment, he had something more important to do; he couldn't let these people die in vain, he had to bear the weight of their lives on his shoulders.

Chapter 250 The Allure of the Nite-dono Shōna

"Shudenan, how did you end up here? I don't think I commissioned [Thousand Changes] to come here."

Having recovered slightly, Fariagni steadied his breathing and then asked the man in the suit smoking beside him a question.

Although he was grateful to the man for saving his life, this was indeed a question that Fariagni had.

This seemingly unrestrained man, like the "Bad Blade" previously commissioned by Fariagni, is a powerful Crimson Lord who enjoys accepting commissions.

However, unlike [Broken Blade], the Crimson World Demon Lord named [Thousand Changes] does not demand various swords and treasures, but simply the power of existence.

In reality, most Crimson World Apostles who accept commissions use Existence Power as payment. However, [Broken Blade] is a special case; he prefers collecting various types of swords rather than Existence Power.

However, since Shana possessed the [Nietono no Shana] and Shirou Emiya was also a human who used swords, Fariagne pondered for a moment and then chose the [Broken Blade].

Since your enemies all wield swords and other weapons, it's natural that you can pay less in return.

However, this smaller reward is actually an extremely large amount of power, which still makes Fariagni feel quite pained.

"That's because you should have promised [Nie-dono Shana] to [Bad Blade] as a reward, right?"

A melodious female voice, as clear as spring water, came from behind Fariagni.

"It would be bad if [Bad Blade] got [Nietono no Shana], but I wonder if I can take it away from [Bad Blade]. I really want to use [Nietono no Shana] right now."

Immediately following was a boy's voice, devoid of emotion and sounding extremely naive.

Fariagni also looked over at the sound and saw a sweet, blonde, Gothic-style girl perched on the back of a blonde, handsome young man in a suit, walking towards him.

"Did you come here for [Zhi Dian Zhe Na]?"

Fariagni looked at the two frail Crimson World Apostles before him again. With his intelligence, he quickly deduced why Shudnan was here.

Although [Bad Blade] is incredibly powerful, very few Crimson Denizens can afford to pay him for hiring.

Hiring a Crimson Lord comes at a considerable price.

Not all Crimson Lords are like Shudnan, who prioritizes his own interests as his primary principle of action.

If it's something that Xiu Denan is extremely interested in, he won't even ask for payment.

However, [Bad Blade] is ultimately an incredibly powerful Crimson Lord, and Fariagni is well aware that most of those who hire [Bad Blade] are organizations within the Crimson Lords.

The organization that hires the most "Bad Blade" is the "Masquerade Ball," and coincidentally, Xiu Denan is a member of the "Masquerade Ball."

These things are unknown to ordinary Crimson Lords, but as the Crimson Lord, Fariagne is always aware of what is happening and information within the Crimson World.

The two Crimson World Apostles' target is [Niedono Shana], so they will follow the trail of [Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Killer] and head towards Misaki City.

Meanwhile, the "Bad Blade," commissioned by Fariagni, is also heading towards Misaki City, where he will meet with Shutennan.

[Bad Blade] has no need to hide his whereabouts, so he will naturally run into Xiudenan.

It is also a Crimson Lord who is famous for collecting sword-type treasures.

With just a little thought, these two Crimson World Apostles would realize that there is a [Nieden Shana] nearby. It's unlikely that a Crimson World Demon Lord who collects sword-type treasures would come here just to stroll around.

Therefore, they were quite certain that the [Bad Blade] was heading towards the [Nieden Shana], or at least that someone had issued a request.

So Xiudnan and his employer also relentlessly pursued [Bad Blade] and arrived in this city.

Although there wasn't much affection among the Crimson World Apostles, Xiu Denan certainly wouldn't watch such a Crimson World Demon King perish.

Thus, he saved Fariagne, who was almost killed by Shirou Emiya.

"Remember to pay for my existence."

Shudnan didn't offer much explanation. A smart man like Fariagni would immediately understand the situation. Even if he didn't understand, Shudnan wasn't willing to waste words explaining.

At this moment, a dark figure silently emerged from the dark red flames on the ground, holding two sharp swords, and slowly looked down at Shirou Emiya in the air.

"That armor-shaped Noble Phantasm actually has the ability to fly?"

It was a tall man with a face covered by a scarf-like cloth, long, straight hair, and wearing a cloak; his extremely deep voice emanated from him.

"You are the first human to see my attack come out unscathed."

Simply flying is not enough to avoid such an attack, as most Flame Haze and Crimson Denizens possess the ability to fly.

But none of them benefited at all from [Bad Blade].

No matter how strong a Flame Haze is, the first attack from the Broken Blade will cause some damage.

After all, he had been hiding in the shadows, so such a powerful and wide-ranging attack was almost impossible to avoid, and he could only take it head-on.

Emiya Shirou is indeed the first person to be able to react the instant he made his move, and to block the attack unscathed.

And at the very moment that Bad Blade finished speaking.

He transformed into a shadowy figure that was impossible to see, appearing behind Shirou Emiya with astonishing speed, and thrusting his twin swords at Shirou's head with incredible speed.

"Shh!"

The terrifying speed tore through the air in that instant.

Its power is far beyond what Fariagni can compare to.

There are vast differences between Crimson World Demon Lords.

"Qiang!"

A sharp, metallic clang suddenly rang out.

The two reverse-bladed blades blocked the incoming thrust.

Looking at the Crimson Lord before him, whose expression was utterly calm, Shirou Emiya felt an overwhelming surge of rage.

“Unforgivable!!”

An astonishing force emanated from Shirou Emiya, the sudden exertion forcing the Blade to retreat.

"Amazing predictive ability."

The Blade wasn't particularly impressed by Shirou Emiya's strength; instead, it was impressed by Shirou Emiya's quick reflexes and predictive abilities.

There are quite a few Flame Haze warriors who possess power like Shirou Emiya, but he easily defeated them all. However, none of those Flame Haze warriors possessed Shirou Emiya's warrior-like keen judgment.

It's perfectly reasonable that someone with such judgment could dodge his first attack, which most Flame Haze warriors couldn't avoid.
