Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Although the black and white guns could fire even when empty, Shirou Emiya quickly reloaded now that he had plenty of ammunition.

Through long-term training, Shirou Emiya can reload in less than half a second.

"boom--!"

Crimson flames erupted behind Vlad.

That was the flame produced by the explosion of a bullet that had been injected with explosives.

Although there was only one magazine left, Shirou Emiya had already devised a strategy to deal with the situation.

He was also grateful that he was so skilled with firearms. With such coordination between long-range and close combat, Shirou Emiya was able to unleash most of his abilities.

Otherwise, Shirou Emiya would only be able to fight the enemy using close combat, which is his least favorite skill, and who knows what kind of crisis he would fall into.

"call out!"

At that moment, the dark golden spear tip transformed into a shadowy figure, carrying unstoppable power as it viciously stabbed towards Shirou Emiya's neck, aiming to sever Shirou's throat.

The dark golden spear transformed into a bolt of lightning, violently stirring up the surrounding air currents.

"Qiang——!"

With a sound like steel clashing against steel, the blade and the spear collided heavily, causing the impact to reverberate at the point of impact, and sparks burst forth at that moment.

As Shirou Emiya slashed fiercely with his twin spears, Vlad III's dark gold spear grazed Shirou Emiya's helmet, tearing a trail of sparks, and pierced the air next to his head.

"boom--!"

A crimson bullet flew from the side and struck Vlad III's right arm precisely, bursting into a violent flash.

Vlad III, seemingly unconcerned, casually swung his lance, deflecting the bullet that hurtled towards his forehead.

"call out!"

His dark gold spear once again tore through the air with a sharp sound, and thrust out like lightning at Shirou Emiya.

"Ding!"

Emiya Shirou also wielded his twin blades with lightning speed, deflecting the spear that pierced through like lightning, producing a crisp sound.

"That's really interesting!"

Vlad III's lips curled into a smirk as he burst into wild laughter and shouted at Shirou Emiya.

He never imagined that Shirou Emiya, as a Master, would have the power to fight against a Servant.

"Your servant isn't a coward, is he?!"

Although only a few seconds had passed, Vlad III still did not sense the appearance of any Servant, and even Lanlu was still standing unharmed behind Vlad III.

The moment Vlad finished speaking, a strong sense of crisis surged into Shirou Emiya's heart.

However, even before Vlad III could speak, Shirou Emiya understood what kind of attack was causing this sense of crisis.

Without hesitation, the moment Shirou Emiya sensed danger, he stomped his feet on the ground with a series of crisp sounds, and his body shot backward like a streak of light.

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!"

Countless piercing sounds erupted from beneath Shirou Emiya's feet, and in less than a second, his spot was pierced by dozens of steel spears.

After learning Vlad III's real name, Shirou Emiya became constantly aware of the soles of his feet.

When he first faced Vlad III, his body was pierced through like that, and Shirou Emiya would never forget the excruciating pain.

These steel spears don't just pierce through the body; they can even cause severe damage to the internal organs, attacking from within.

If Danic hadn't discovered the Command Seals in his hand then, he would have died in just one encounter.

However, things are different now than they were back then, and Shirou Emiya's current strength is incomparable to what it was back then.

Previously, Shirou Emiya needed to unleash his magic and be afflicted by two demonic possessions to barely fight against Servants, but now he doesn't even need to unleash his magic to have the power to fight Servants.

Of course, another reason why Shirou Emiya is able to fight him like this is that this is not Romanian territory.

Although the Vlad III before him felt strange, he did not exert the same powerful sense of oppression as the Vlad III he knew.

"Sbarasi, you dodged as if you knew these attacks would come from underground. Have we seen this before? Or were your ancestors once my people?!"

Chapter 572 You Truly Are a Hero [Edited]

With these slightly astonished words, Vlad III watched Shirou Emiya retreat, but his hands did not stop moving.

A low shout came from the corner of his mouth, and he stomped his toes on the ground. His body moved with ferocious force, like a beast, and he rushed towards Shirou Emiya, who was retreating rapidly.

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!"

With a series of earth-breaking sounds, one steel spear after another seemed to be chasing after Shirou Emiya as he retreated, bursting up from the ground he stepped on.

This is not Vlad III's territory, nor does he possess the inherent skill [Guardian Ghost General].

He couldn't do what Vlad III, whom Shirou Emiya knew, could do in an instant, deploying 20,000 stakes across the expanding territory.

Although Vlad III sprang from the ground with a steel spear, the one Shirou Emiya knew was an iron stake.

However, these suddenly appearing steel guns are significantly reduced in speed, power, and quantity compared to the iron stakes.

Otherwise, how could Shirou Emiya have dodged these attacks so easily, when even Karna had difficulty dodging them and could only endure them?

Vlad III, with an extremely excited smile, stomped the ground frantically, brandishing his spear like a warrior. He manipulated the steel spear on the ground to shoot towards Shirou Emiya, while chasing closely behind him.

The barrage of bullets quickly collapsed in a short time because Shirou Emiya stopped firing.

However, retreating like this is not a solution.

Suddenly remembering something, Shirou Emiya abruptly stopped, shifting his stance slightly. Then, he stomped down on the steel spear that had just sprung up, and after fully utilizing the momentum, he swung it down at Vlad III with the force of a tiger descending a mountain.

Despite the imposing force emanating from the twin blades ahead, Vlad III, still sporting a maniacal laugh, instantly blocked the thrusting spear with a horizontal movement, colliding heavily with Emiya Shirou's aerial slash.

"Ding!"

A loud clang of metal clashing echoed through the space.

The strike, imbued with all of Emiya Shirou's strength, caused Vlad III's hand to tremble involuntarily.

But a sharp steel spear suddenly pierced through the ground beneath Shirou Emiya and shot straight toward his heart.

In the air, they simply become sitting ducks.

"Bam—!"

A violent stomping sound rang out at that moment, and the steel spears that had sprung up from the ground became Shirou Emiya's foothold.

Just as the steel spear was about to strike his heart, his body suddenly veered to the side.

"Projection started (Trace on)"

As he spoke in a low voice, a slight magical fluctuation appeared around Vlad III.

Vlad III, however, would not allow Shirou Emiya to dodge so easily. He spun his spear sharply, and with a piercing sound, thrust it heavily towards Shirou Emiya, who had dodged to the side.

"clang!"

A crisp sound rang out in mid-air.

At the critical moment, Shirou Emiya quickly raised his twin pistols to block the swift thrust, and his body was violently pushed back by the powerful force.

The two pistols in his hands were knocked out of his grasp due to the shock of the powerful attack.

A pair of scissors-like objects appeared in the air the moment Shirou Emiya was knocked away, hurtling towards Vlad III.

"Qiang——!"

With a crisp striking sound, the large pair of scissors flew into the sky and landed heavily on the ground.

Before Shirou Emiya could even regain his footing, Vlad III swiftly pressed his advantage, his spear flashing out with a sharp, piercing sound.

The dark golden spear tip transformed into lightning, tearing through the air as it aimed straight for Shirou Emiya's heart.

"it's over!!!!!!!!"

"laugh----!"

At that very moment, a sound suddenly rang out from behind Vlad III.

The scissors that Vlad III had just knocked away suddenly shot back, their sharp edges aimed at his unsuspecting back.

Vlad III, who was preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Emiya Shirou, suddenly felt a sense of crisis envelop him.

His intuition told him that these scissors were not simple.

However, before Vlad III could respond, the spearhead in his hand seemed to be clamped by some sudden force, and the spearhead, which was originally aimed at his neck, suddenly deflected.

Vlad III reacted quickly and regained control of the spear in his hand.

Finally, the dark gold spear viciously pierced through Shirou Emiya's abdomen.

Blood splattered at that moment.

"No!!!! You did this on purpose!?"

At that moment, Vlad III had no time to think. In such a short time, there was simply no time to pull out the spear that was stuck in Shirou Emiya's shoulder to defend himself.

Vlad III's weapon is not like Drake's flintlock pistol, which is simply a mass-producible weapon, but is indeed a magical spear-like artifact.

This demonic spear is also different from the Vlad III of the Black Faction that Shirou Emiya knows.

Each time Vlad III of the Black faction strikes an enemy with his spear, he generates the concept of "piercing," and then a stake will appear outwards from the heart.

The spear in the hand of Vlad III, however, possesses the characteristic of increasing pain based on the sins of his opponent's injustice and depravity.

The pain increases based on the opponent's injustice and depravity. The destructive power will increase if the opponent has committed crimes such as "escape," "immorality," and "violence."

"Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!"

A surge of magical power erupted from Vlad III, and dozens of steel spears burst forth from the ground in an attempt to stop the oncoming scissors.

only----

"silk!?"

Vlad III's pupils contracted as he saw the scissors suddenly change course, dodging the steel spears that kept rising from the ground, and then he finally realized what was happening.

The silk threads wrapped around the scissors were barely perceptible in the dim light.
