Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

A sense of crisis arose around Xiudenan.

Due to the powerful inertia of those sword arrows, most of the sparks had already fallen to the ground, and they were heading towards Xiudenan's location at an incredibly terrifying speed.

In that instant, the wisps of sparks coalesced into an undeniable force.

"Gather—!"

A childish voice burst forth from Shana's mouth.

The crimson flames, filled with terrifying heat, surrounded Xiudenan in an instant, transforming into a terrifying fireball filled with indescribable heat.

Knowing that something was wrong, Xiu Denan naturally couldn't stay where he was. The divine spear in his hand gathered terrifying power and began to grow larger at a visible speed.

But Shana will not give Shudnan time to escape.

"burst--!"

A massive explosion occurred at the location of Shudnan, and a terrifying heat wave erupted from the sky and spread outwards.

Shana, preoccupied with two things at once, didn't pay attention to what was happening on Xiudenan's side.

If you also need to care about the situation on Xiudenan's side, then you've reached the level of multitasking.

Clearly, Shana hasn't reached that level yet.

This is a technique that Shana and Shirou Emiya came up with after Shana had mastered fire to a certain extent.

Initially, Shirou Emiya simply had Shana train her to multitask by covering her sword arrows with his own flames.

But then she thought of covering the sword arrows with flames, and waiting for the right moment to gather all the flames together.

They did conduct drills for a while, but never used them in actual combat.

After all, those Crimson World Apostles don't require Shirou Emiya and Shana to use such methods to deal with them.

Shuten was very lucky to become the first Crimson Denizen to be hit by Shana and Shirou Emiya's attack.

As for the timing, that was naturally in Shirou Emiya's hands; Shana only needed to gather the flames together and then detonate them.

She wholeheartedly trusted Shirou Emiya's judgment.

At the same time as the explosion, the rolling swords pierced through the barrier set up by Azure.

Approaching Shana at an extremely fast speed.

In situations like these, it's crucial to remain calm; panicking solves nothing.

This is an experience that Shirou Emiya gained through constant battles.

Whether it was searching for a glimmer of hope in the battle against Upper Moon One Kokushibo, or looking for an impossible flaw in the battle against Esdeath.

At all times, one must remain calm, for only by remaining calm can one find even the slightest chance of survival.

Shana recalled all the things Shirou Emiya had taught her.

There was no emotion in his bright red pupils.

"boom--!"

Flames erupted the moment the swords entered the barrier, burning them with an all-consuming force.

The vast majority of the swords and blades were completely consumed by the sudden burst of flames.

Some of the swords that penetrated the defenses were blocked by Shana's Nie Dōsen.

Even if some special swords pierced through these two barriers, they would still find it difficult to break through Shana's [Possessed by Evil] defense.

Although most of the enemies Shirou Emiya encounters can ignore the defense of [Demon Possession], it doesn't mean that [Demon Possession] has absolutely no defensive power.

The steel spear, which had shattered the sword arrows, mercilessly pierced through space and shot towards Shirou Emiya's location.

The bow in Shirou Emiya's hand vanished in an instant, and a heavy sword carrying a dark red light appeared in his hand in the blink of an eye.

Lightning bolts, like thunder, surrounded Shirou Emiya.

A series of sounds of clashing swords and the sound of something being swallowed up rang out the moment the steel spear arrived.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

"puff--!"

Shana felt the tingling sensation in her hand, her eyes revealing an indescribable calmness. At this moment, all the steel spears around her had been deflected by the Nie Dian Shana in her hand.

The Zhīdiān Zhāna is the most formidable weapon capable of resisting the Freedom Law of the Crimson World; even a divine spear cannot damage it in the slightest.

On the other side, Bad Blade's pupils suddenly widened, red lightning surged around his body, and a bright red beam pierced through his clone.

【Rebellion against my magnificent father】is the highest level of enhancement this sword can achieve by using a large amount of magic power, while 【Magic Release】is a smaller level of enhancement this sword can achieve.

This sword doesn't have adjustable levels. Between these two, Shirou Emiya can naturally use less magic power to unleash a smaller beam attack, although the magic power consumption is far greater than that of [Magic Release].

However, this level of magic beam is sufficient to kill the clone of [Bad Blade] in front of me.

Without a word, or even a glance, Shirou Emiya and Shana instantly switched positions, each managing to fend off the attack.

It was precisely because of this sudden exchange of positions without any warning that [Bad Blade] was caught off guard and its clones were destroyed once again.

At this moment, Shudenan was caught up in Shana's attack, and the clone of the broken blade was destroyed by the small beam cannon unleashed by Shirou Emiya.

In this desperate battle, Shirou Emiya and his companions barely managed to gain a small advantage.

Before Shirou Emiya could continue his attack on Shudenan, a very mature female voice came from beside him and Shana.

"That's it."

Following the sound, a tall, alluring woman appeared beside Shirou Emiya and Shana.

That was one of the three pillars who fought against Margery, the arbiter of injustice, Bellpeor.

In her hand, she held the first person in the world that Emiya Shirou had ever met who was related to the Crimson World—Sakai Yuuji.

He struggled frantically in Bellpeor's hands, but to no avail; human strength was utterly insufficient to shake a Crimson World Apostle.

Chapter 284 The Greatness of Humanity

All the Flame Haze warriors present were entangled by the Crimson Lord or the Crimson Apostles, and had no way to free up their hands to send Keisaku Sato, Eita Tanaka, and Kazumi Yoshida off the battlefield.

The entire city of Misaki has fallen into chaos, and as humans, they do not possess the same powerful strength as Shirou Emiya.

Even if Shirou Emiya gave them some weapons, they would be like babies holding daggers in front of those Phosphorus and Crimson World Apostles.

There is no threat whatsoever; the baby may not even be holding a dagger, but simply a toy that looks like one.

It's impossible that the outsiders didn't consider using firearms to deal with those Crimson World Apostles, but there were no obvious results, let alone such cold weapons.

Keisaku Sato, Eita Tanaka, and Kazumi Yoshida constantly fled amidst the chaos of war.

They harbored no resentment towards the Flame Haze. If they hadn't been told the truth about this world, they would be just like the people on the street now.

One by one, they were devoured by those phosphorus particles.

Although they are in danger, they are not like those immobile humans who have no chance of survival.

These things would still happen even if they didn't become facilitators; it's something they couldn't stop.

Under the attack of the phosphorus, the three of them were forced to separate and pray for each other. In this situation, they had no way to protect themselves.

"what--!"

As a girl, Yoshida Kazumi couldn't possibly have the same physical abilities as a boy, and after strenuous exercise, she fell heavily to the ground.

Bright red wounds also appeared on her body.

A shadow completely obscured Yoshida Kazumi, who was lying on the ground.

It was a gigantic, spider-like monster.

It stared intently at Yoshida Kazumi in front of it, its six steel-like limbs advancing towards her.

Yoshida Kazumi struggled to her feet, while the spider-like monster raised its steel-like limbs and swung them toward Yoshida Kazumi's location.

Yoshida Kazumi gently closed her eyes, knowing that this might be her final destination.

"I'm sorry, Yuuji, I may never see you again!"

Tears streamed down Yoshida Kazumi's face. How unwilling she was to accept her fate! In the last moments of her life, she longed to see Sakai Yuji one more time.

With her eyes already closed, Yoshida Kazumi only felt a pair of warm and incredibly familiar hands forcefully pushing her out.

"Pfft——!"

The sound of flesh being easily pierced came from Yoshida Kazumi's side.

Yoshida Kazumi, who had just crashed into the wall, slowly opened her eyes in great fear.

He was a hero who, even with trembling legs, still stepped forward to save her.

"Yuji!!!!!"

Yoshida Kazumi stared in disbelief at the person in front of her, the one who had used his frail body to push her away from the cliff of death.

"Run!"

Yuji Sakai didn't say much. He held the steel-like limb in front of him tightly, feeling the excruciating pain, and shouted at Kazumi Yoshida.

Is Yuji Sakai not afraid of death?

How could he not be afraid of death!

Unlike Shirou Emiya, Yuji Sakai has a unique ideal of becoming a partner of justice and possesses the power to fight against those monsters.

Unlike Keisaku Sato, Eita Tanaka, and Kazumi Yoshida, who had an understanding of the Crimson World and the assurance of the Flame Haze.

Yuji Sakai was just an ordinary high school student, with no lofty ideals, no extraordinary ambitions, and not even any extraordinary talents.

Just like those ordinary people who are swallowed up, he becomes a torch that could disappear at any moment.

Under the interference of that unpredictable thing called luck, she became nothing more than Mistis, a child of the Zero Hour.

He was afraid; he was more afraid of dying than anyone else present.

Yuji Sakai didn't know what those monsters were, nor did he know what that strange building floating above the city would cause.

She had no idea why her classmate, Yoshida Kazumi, was now able to move around in this red barrier just like her.
