Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

"Ugh!"

"What's this!"

"Pfft!"

"Let me go!"

"Pfft!"

One scream after another echoed from the silent forest, and terror spread throughout the entire forest in an instant.

"Hmm~"

A hoarse voice came from a tall young man in his thirties with long, dark green hair.

He was dressed in a black and white outfit resembling a formal suit, with a white cloak draped over his shoulders. Holding a cane, he elegantly grabbed the terrified person leaning against a tree in front of him.

"Please pass on a message for me!"

As he spoke, he placed his hand on the man's head, his hoarse voice conveying absolute confidence.

"This is a declaration of war from Yggdrasilia!"

"boom--!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud crashing sound came from not far away.

"My king, are there still little insects hiding?"

He patted the dust off his trousers and bowed respectfully to the person sitting on horseback beside him, his tone extremely humble.

He was a man with white hair, dressed in a pure black suit, who exuded a sense of respect.

"No, they are not remnants of the Mage's Guild, but other magicians."

He closed his eyes again, as if sensing something.

But he immediately regained his composure.

"I've already subdued him. He was able to dodge my first attack and avoid all the fatal wounds in such a short time. Someone like that must be someone of great importance in the magic world."

"Danick, are you going to go check it out, or just kill it outright?"

He didn't know much about modern affairs, and even when it came to magicians, he would consult his subordinates rather than act unilaterally.

"Let's go take a look. A magician who was able to dodge one of the King's attacks is certainly intriguing. I'm sure the King thinks so too."

Danic answered his question respectfully and immediately located the intruder's position using his familiar.

Chapter 106 The Strange Team

"A cry for help!"

In the quiet forest, Emiya easily heard faint cries for help coming from afar and immediately changed the direction he was heading.

There was no particular reason; Emiya simply heard the cries for help and decided to go and rescue the person in distress. That was all.

Emiya Shirou moved swiftly through the forest, making no attempt to conceal his presence.

They rushed toward the location of the distress call at an extremely fast speed.

However, in the darkness in front of Emiya, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

"boom…"

It was the sound of heavy footsteps.

With those heavy footsteps, Emiya seemed to see several dark figures appear in the woods ahead.

They were several tall, enormous golems made of rock, each bulging muscle made of thick stone and earth, resembling ancient warrior statues, exuding a sense of oppression.

Their eyes gleamed with a scarlet light as they stared intently in Emiya's direction.

These stone golems seemed to have discovered his presence, and beside them were some young men and women dressed in formal attire and carrying various weapons.

They all looked like they'd been cut from the same mold, with identical silver hair and similar builds, exuding an androgynous feel. Without close inspection, it was impossible to tell who was male and who was female.

Their expressions were dull and lifeless, like dolls, mechanically raising their weapons.

Some carried spears, some longswords, and some bows and arrows.

Weapons of both close and long range were included, and all units stared intently and silently at Emiya charging towards them.

An indescribable killing intent swept towards Emiya.

The formation of killing intent is extremely strange, as if it is not what they think, but merely killing intent generated to complete a pre-set task.

"who are they?"

Emiya had no way of judging; he had never seen such judgment or such a lineup in the Empire.

But the only thing that is certain now is that if Emiya wants to get there, he will have to fight them.

Perhaps the empire has just developed some strange new gadgets while I'm away.

Emiya felt that there was nothing the Fashion Doctor couldn't research that could be hidden in a girl's arm, which could conceal a number of guns and cannons equivalent to a fortress.

"what!"

The androids shouted, some holding bows and arrows, others gathering magic in their hands.

One missile after another, accompanied by arrows, shot towards Emiya's position.

The stone golems charged forward with thunderous footsteps.

"boom--!"

"call out--!"

The sound of magic bullets exploding and arrows flying past Emiya's side rang in his ears.

Emiya moved through the air with incredible fluidity, like a fish falling into water, easily dodging the attacks of those who attacked him.

Even though his injuries haven't fully healed, it's more than enough to deal with these characters.

In just a moment, Shirou Emiya encountered the charging stone statue.

It raised its heavy fist high, carrying a whooshing force, and blasted it down at the tiny humans below.

The fist, carrying terrifying pressure, would kill any ordinary magician.

There was simply no time to cast any spells, and even if one were to do so, it would be difficult to break through the highly defensive stone golem.

For ordinary people, the speed of this stone golem far exceeds the limits of what a normal person can react to.

"boom--!"

The stone golem's surging fist stopped abruptly above Emiya's head. It trembled violently, trying to exert force, but something seemed to be stopping it, preventing it from striking down.

"Projection begins!"

Looking down along the stone golem's fist, what shocked the magicians was happening right there.

Before it, the frail human, with only his remaining arm, managed to block the attack of the stone man, which was as big as a small mountain.

After activating his Demon Slayer Mark, Emiya's physical abilities also improved dramatically.

"【Possessed by Evil Spirits】!"

A short sword with a chain appeared at Emiya's feet.

"Zheng——!"

In an instant, Emiya was fully armed, his entire body covered in armor, and his aura suddenly intensified.

"boom--!"

With a sudden wave of his hand, Shirou lifted the giant stone golem and turned it into a shield in front of him, then threw it directly at the stone golem that was charging towards him.

The two collided and rolled on the ground, knocking down several trees before coming to a stop.

Since acquiring the defensive measure of "Demon Possession," Shirou Emiya has almost always chosen to project it before engaging in battle.

"If only the weapon that appears after I transform into armor is a sword."

Although Shirou Emiya can use the gun techniques that Brand uses with "Demon Possession," ultimately, when he uses a sword, he can quickly switch between various techniques or use those techniques according to his own understanding.

However, Shirou Emiya was not comfortable using a spear, and he didn't know how to incorporate his swordsmanship into his spear technique.

If confronting an enemy, Emiya, wielding a gun, can only fight using Brand's fighting style, lacking the strong adaptability he possesses when using a sword.

As if in response to Shirou Emiya's desire, the spear in his hand suddenly changed shape, transforming into a katana with its blade facing outwards.

Evolution, of course, is about making users comfortable, since it has no self-awareness anyway.

Emiya stared blankly at the weapon in his hand, but the enemy wouldn't wait for him to finish his daze.

Several people dressed in formal attire, wielding spears and swords, quickly surrounded Emiya and unleashed a barrage of thrusts and slashes.

The spear tip was like a shadow, and the blade was like light. The two reflected each other in the darkness, blocking all of Emiya's escape routes in an instant.

This is the result of years of coordinated teamwork, enabling them to execute such an attack with perfect precision.

Unless Emiya can sprout wings and fly away on the spot, or burrow underground, there is absolutely no way he can escape such an attack.

However, Emiya's armor does indeed allow him to fly.

But there's no need for that now.

"clang--!"

"clang--!"

"clang--!"

The staggered slashes all landed on Emiya's body, but their attacks could not break through the armor he was wearing, so Emiya did not need to fly into the air.
