Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

There was no reason to take Emiya on the mission, and even an ordinary person would feel that there was some secret hidden in it, let alone Emiya.

Therefore, Esdeath devised this plan in order to recruit Emiya as her subordinate as quickly as possible. By the time Emiya realized what he had done, it was already too late.

However, neither Riva nor Esdeath expected this.

Emiya stood at the bedroom door, veins bulging on his hand gripping the Nichirin Blade, his eyes filled with rage.

He couldn't imagine the kind of abuse these women had suffered before their deaths.

Emiya turned back to look at Daidas, who was raising his battle axe, and instantly appeared in front of the middle-aged man.

Daidas's battle axe was knocked away again, and his hands went numb.

Liva was stunned.

Why did Shirou Emiya still save him even after knowing the truth?

Even the naive Tatsumi personally killed that treacherous young lady.

The Three Beasts had not framed the middle-aged man in any way; he was indeed a complete scoundrel, a parasite of the empire.

Chapter Sixty-Six: A Country Almost Beyond Saving

"ah------!"

A furious roar erupted from Daidas's mouth. He was like a raging beast, his muscles bulging so much that they burst his clothes in an instant.

Emiya repeatedly stopped them.

Daidas was already frustrated by his inability to start the killing spree, and now he was burning with rage, venting all his anger on Emiya.

At this point, he no longer cared about the difference in strength; Daidas wanted nothing more than to tear the red-haired dwarf in front of him to pieces.

The giant axe in his hand split in two.

An extremely violent aura erupted from him.

Under Riva's gaze, Emiya, surrounded by Daidas's terrifying killing intent, remained expressionless as a strangely shaped samurai sword, unlike any he had ever seen before, appeared in his hand.

It was a samurai sword that looked like a monster covered in eyes, as if it were made of flesh and blood.

An aura of evil emanated from the sword.

In front of Emiya, Daidas gripped his axe tightly, staring at him with a ferocious and violent expression, grinning and displaying his volatile temper and bloodlust to the fullest extent.

"I was just careless last time!"

"This time I will definitely cut off your head!"

Emiya did not possess any of the aura of a strong person. He seemed like an ordinary passerby, without any terrifying killing intent or aura that made people tremble.

"What will happen to him if we don't kill him?"

Emiya casually inquired about a question unrelated to Daidas.

"Who knows? I just want to kill you!"

Daidas didn't care at all about Emiya's boring question.

"If it were an empire, they would probably just let it go, and no one would punish him no matter how many civilians he killed."

Riva was well aware of the Empire's darkness, but he had already devoted himself entirely to Esdeath, and he wouldn't pay much attention to anything else unless it was beneficial to Esdeath.

From the moment he was saved by Esdeath, the Empire was no longer his concern, and even if the Empire were to be destroyed, Riva would not feel any unease.

"is it?"

When Emiya learned of such atrocities and that no one had stopped them, he had already anticipated this outcome.

Here, it seems the law has lost its proper function.

It evolved into oppression of the people.

"kill him?"

Emiya scoffed inwardly, "Will it work?"

On the way to the mansion, Liva also told him some basic information.

However, Emiya remained skeptical and therefore did not believe what Riva said.

However, it now seems that Mr. Leva did not deceive himself.

This man is truly a scumbag.

However, a mere baron would not be subject to the laws of the empire.

It is easy to imagine the extent of corruption within the empire's upper echelons.

Before Emiya could continue to think about it, Daidas, who was standing in front of him, was clearly unwilling to wait any longer, and he would not stop his actions because of Emiya's thinking.

"boom!"

In the next instant, two powerful battle axes slammed down on the strange samurai sword in Emiya's hand.

The violent shockwave sent the man who was lying on the ground flying backwards.

A smile appeared on Daidas's face, and he increased the strength in his hand once again. In terms of strength, Daidas had never been afraid of anyone.

He seemed to have forgotten how his battle axe had been knocked away earlier.

"Moon Breathing, Land Form: Everlasting Night, Lonely Moon, Without End"

With a sudden burst of strength, Emiya slashed forward with his sword, unleashing countless crescent blades and wind blades in front of him.

"puff--!"

In an instant, Daidas was covered in wounds, and blood was gushing out.

"How can it be!"

Under the moonlight, Daidas flew backwards, leaving a blood-red arc in his wake.

His speed, in Emiya's eyes, was far too slow.

The only thing Emiya could praise was his physique and strength.

With such a slow speed, it's no wonder that Brand was able to kill him instantly. Daidas can only deal with ordinary people who don't have Teigu.

It's said that you can gain more experience by fighting against strong opponents, but in reality, you may never have encountered any strong opponents at all.

"Is killing him the only way?"

After defeating Daidas, Shirou Emiya continued to question Riva.

"There is no other way. Even if he is imprisoned in the Empire, it is only a matter of time before he gets out."

Liva let out a long sigh.

"What about the civilians? What about their families?"

"They will probably become his burial offerings."

Liva told the truth without any attempt to hide anything.

In the eyes of the nobles of those empires, commoners were nothing more than a bunch of talking beasts, tools for their own amusement.

"A deformed country!"

Emiya closed his eyes and sighed deeply. There was nothing he could do except kill him.

Does abusing him bring the dead back to life?

He saw the women lying on the ground looking at him with pleading eyes.

A flash of silver light streaked across the man's body.

A head flew up and landed on the ground nearby.

Seeing this, the women who were barely clinging to life also lost their vitality, feeling content.

She didn't even have the idea of ​​taking back the suffering she had endured on that man.

"Can I have information about them?"

The bizarre weapon in Emiya's hand vanished, and his eyes were filled with remorse.

Riva had no idea where Emiya's guilt came from, even though they had become the embodiment of justice this time.

"Are you going to take care of them? I'll have someone give them some compensation."

Riva wasn't unfamiliar with kind people; he knew what Emiya was thinking.

But in the Empire, such an approach was futile.

"No, no need."

Emiya shook his head.

He knew very well that those nobles were already capable of arresting people, let alone the assets of commoners.

Offering compensation to those people will only cause them greater harm.

It's like giving a beggar a large sum of money; people who see it will beat him up and take all the money from him.

Moreover, no amount of valuable property can heal the pain of a person's death.

This kind of good intention is a deadly poison for ordinary people.

Even though Riva deliberately led the carriage towards the prosperous areas of the empire, Emiya still observed the various terrible things happening in the corners of the empire.

His eyes weren't just for show; they could observe things that many others couldn't.

He originally thought that the empire's constant warfare was causing problems with the towns' finances and security.

War consumes a lot of resources, including money and food.

Emiya originally believed that once the war was over, the empire would restore order and everything would get better.

If barons have the power to trample on commoners, what about those above them?

The empire had long been completely corrupt.

Countless people are left dead in the streets every day. It's not a battlefield, but it's comparable to one. It's extremely difficult for civilians to survive there.
