Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

"Roar!"

The moment Shirou Emiya drew his dual pistols, a series of terrifying roars erupted in a chaotic cacophony.

Dozens of meters in front of Shirou Emiya, a group of enormous orcs, each two or three meters tall, wielding various axes, maces, and other weapons, charged forward like madmen, their faces contorted in rage and their crimson eyes blazing with murderous intent toward Shirou.

In just a short time, hundreds of orcs gathered in this open space, rushing towards Shirou Emiya without hesitation.

The ground even trembled.

Emiya Shirou frowned deeply, showing no sign of backing down, and raised his twin pistols, unleashing a furious barrage of attacks.

The beam-like bullets, carrying immense power, pierced through the air, precisely striking the orcs' brains and hearts.

One body after another fell to the ground.

Some turned to ashes, leaving behind a crystal-like substance on the ground.

Some left nothing at all.

"Clang!"

The heavy clanging of steel was like thunder, shaking the air and swirling towards the earth, causing a strong wind to rise.

Emiya Shirou twirled his twin pistols, raising the blade in his hand to parry the orc's slash.

But it wasn't just this one beastman who rushed in front of Shirou Emiya.

"Roar--!"

A furious roar came from Shirou Emiya's side at that moment.

Another orc appeared around Shirou Emiya at some point, his giant axe creating a whirlwind as he chopped down at Shirou's head.

"boom----!"

The terrifying impact slammed into the ground, creating a huge crater.

"Pfft——!"

"Pfft——!"

A loud bang was followed by a gush of blood gushing from the chests of the two orcs like a fountain.

It sank deep into the ground, as if nothing had happened.

The heavy tremors of the ground once again reached Shirou Emiya.

"call--!"

Faced with the overwhelming orc army charging with terrifying momentum, Shirou Emiya's twin pistols disappeared, transforming into the two reverse blades he most often used.

At that moment, Shirou Emiya adjusted his breathing.

"Zheng——!"

A cold arc of light flashed on the otherwise sharp reverse blade.

"Sword Breathing Beast Form: Frenzied Tear"

A beast-like slash erupted at that moment, and Shirou Emiya instantly became a phantom.

Blood splattered up like rain, pouring down onto the ground.

In an instant, countless limbs flew into the sky.

Emiya Shirou charged into the horde of beasts like a meat grinder.

Those orcs with their red eyes hadn't even raised their giant axes before they were cut down by Shirou Emiya.

"many--!"

The ground continued to tremble.

These orcs seemed endless, constantly emerging from the wall, roaring as they charged towards Shirou Emiya.

In just a few short minutes.

Shirou Emiya has already slain hundreds of monsters, but in this area, they are still densely packed and constantly surging towards him.

Chapter 427 The Tremors from the Tenth Floor

"boom----!"

It was an incredibly loud noise, an explosion that shook the entire ground.

"What happened?!"

The adventurer, dressed in a long robe and holding a magic wand, couldn't help but stumble and fall to the ground.

Although not much of the tremor reached their location.

But the sudden noise did indeed startle them, catching them completely off guard.

"The sound seems to be coming from below—"

The leader, a man with a resolute expression and a long sword in hand, placed his hand on the ground, as if trying to sense something.

He didn't know which floor the tremor was coming from.

However, each level of the underground city is separated by deep layers of rock, so even if the explosion only reached one level, it was still shocking.

"Should we still go up to the tenth floor?"

The mage lying on the ground hesitated slightly before asking the captain a question.

"Let's go down and take a look first. If anything seems wrong, we'll log out immediately."

In truth, he was also filled with doubts; the tenth floor was where true adventurers had just begun their journey.

The first ten levels are easily traversed even by a lone lower-level adventurer, provided they possess exceptional combat talent and pay a little attention.

However, from the tenth floor onwards, both the quality and quantity of monsters are significantly different, and most adventurers need to form teams and support each other to pass through.

Because if you're not careful, you'll be surrounded by hordes of monsters, and you're also very vulnerable to being ambushed from behind.

Having your back against a wall doesn't mean you're safe in an underground city.

Monsters can emerge from the walls at any time.

A terrifying tremor emanated from the tenth floor and spread to both sides.

The adventurers in this area all looked toward the tenth floor with extremely puzzled expressions.

Those who were already on the tenth floor felt the impact and the force of the explosion most directly.

"What on earth just happened!?"

Everyone had this question in their minds.

Some of the adventurers, whose strength allowed them to delve deeper, headed towards the location of the explosion out of curiosity.

Those adventurers whose skill level is only suitable for this area try to stay away.

The dungeon was fraught with danger, and the terrifying commotion was clearly beyond the reach of adventurers who had only reached level 1.

"finished?"

With a flap of his wings, Shirou Emiya landed steadily on the ground. He let out a long sigh of relief and put away the golden longbow in his hand.

The [Evil Spirit Possession] on his body slowly dissipated at this moment.

At this moment, in front of Shirou Emiya was an enormous, deep pit.

The crimson ground speaks volumes about the intense heat it once endured.

Almost nothing was left.

Regardless of the countless orc legions that came before.

It was the crystal that fell to the ground when Shirou Emiya killed them.

Almost everything was completely destroyed in the explosion.

Only a few crystals were ejected onto the surrounding ground due to the impact.

There were no more orcs on the walls.

After the terrifying explosion, everything seemed to fall into a state of tranquility. Apart from the scorching sound, there was no other sound in this vast space.

"As expected, I still can't use [Fantasy Collapse] at such close range."

Emiya Shirou smiled wryly. Although the space was very spacious, the distance between the upper and lower levels was only a few dozen meters, roughly the height of three or four stories.

However, Shirou Emiya was almost entirely caught in the explosion caused by the Spiral Sword.

Such a close-range explosion, if not for wearing the "Possessed by Evil Spirits" item, would likely have resulted in a situation where the enemy suffered a thousand losses while the user suffered eight hundred.

However, the only wide-range, low-mana-consuming attack is the Illusion Collapse unleashed by the Spiral Sword.

While releasing the true names of those Noble Phantasms can cause widespread destruction, it also consumes a tremendous amount of mana.

"However, the dungeon is really dangerous—"

Shirou Emiya looked at the wreckage scattered everywhere and couldn't help but speak up.

For ordinary people, encountering these monsters would almost certainly mean certain death.

As for those adventurers, Shirou Emiya didn't know, because he had never seen how those adventurers, who were blessed by the gods, fought.

He cannot jump to conclusions so hastily.

After all, this is an era in which gods exist, and Shirou Emiya has no idea just how strong the humans here are.

He was only relatively familiar with Chiron, Achilles, and Atalanta from Greek mythology.

After all, one was his teacher, and the other two were his enemies, with Atalanta having fought him several times.

It would be terrifying if the people here could all reach that level after receiving divine blessings.

In short, Shirou Emiya chose to collect the scattered crystals on the ground.

With the help of the kind elf lady, Shirou Emiya understood that the crystals dropped by these monsters could be directly exchanged for money.

After experiencing the dungeon, Shirou Emiya naturally collected those crystals.
