Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

But it's not that far off. If one has undergone training, it's not impossible to reach the level of a Heroic Spirit Hawkeye.

"【Ever-Changing】!!"

Compared to the previous sneak attack, Emiya now had more time to react and deal with such a terrifying attack.

Although it might only take less than a second in terms of time, it was enough for Emiya to react.

The threads that were scattered around him appeared in front of him the moment he shouted, and coalesced into the shape of a round shield.

Upon seeing this, the girl couldn't help but smile; such a defense was utterly incapable of withstanding her attack.

But the next moment!

"Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang! Dang!"

A violent impact rang out from the shield, and several wooden arrows even pierced through it and got stuck inside, but none of them hit Shirou Emiya's body.

"Impossible! How could those threads possibly block such an attack!"

The girl was utterly incredulous. Looking again, she saw that the shield made of silk threads had somehow transformed into an iron shield.

And at the very top of the iron shield is a head wearing armor identical to that worn by Shirou Emiya.

"Could that armor cover anything?"

Just as the girl had guessed, the shield made of silk threads in Emiya's hand was covered by [Demon Possession].

After the [Demon Possession] gathered its power and blocked that attack on Emiya's cheek, Emiya thought to himself.

【Possessed by Evil Spirits】No matter who the user is, the armor created can instantly adapt to their body shape, which means that as armor, it has the ability to autonomously change its own shape.

The fact that the power is gathered like flowing water and transformed into a helmet further confirms this point. If the one wearing the "Possessed by Evil Spirits" is not a person, but an object, will it change into the form covering the object?

【Possessed by Evil Spirits】cannot be applied to objects because it has its own soul and consciousness. Like other Imperial Arms, it will choose the user most suitable for it.

They cannot choose an item that has no soul, and the "possession" cannot possess an item.

However, Emiya's projection broke this pattern. The projected "Demon Possessed" had no consciousness of its own and no ability to choose its Teigu user. All choices depended on its creator, Emiya Shirou.

The demon, devoid of independent consciousness, acts entirely in accordance with Shirou Emiya's will.

The [Demon Possession] ability, which inherently possesses and changes one's form, was used by Emiya to directly cover the shield made of silk threads in his hand.

Because the defensive area was reduced, the defensive power of [Demon Possession] increased significantly. In addition, with the extremely tough silk threads, Emiya actually managed to block the barrage of arrows.

Unlike previous sneak attacks, this time Emiya had less than a second to prepare.

Only someone like Emiya, whose magic power can be consumed without regard to cost, can defend in this way.

Otherwise, just projecting [Possessed by Evil Spirits] twice would drain his magic power.

Having plenty of magic means you can do whatever you want.jpg

"hateful!"

This caused the girl's brow to twitch suddenly, and her expression turned extremely angry.

The prey had managed to dodge her attacks multiple times, which infuriated her.

A large amount of magic power began to surge in his hands.

It seems she's serious about this.

But at the same time, she also saw that the Master had somehow produced a bow in his hand, with a sword with a chain attached to it.

"He found me? How is that possible?"

The girl was completely incredulous. How could a mere Master discover her location so quickly? But her hands continued moving without pause.

A whirlwind of magical energy gathered on her bow and arrow.

The entire arrow was covered in emerald green magic, transforming it into a weapon with destructive power comparable to a cannonball.

"call out----!"

Then, the arrow, carrying the turbulent currents of wind, tore through the air and shot straight toward Emiya, who was also holding a bow.

That was an attack ten times greater than the previous shots.

At the same time, a bow shaped like a bow made of silk threads and covered by the "Demon Possession" appeared in Emiya's hands.

An ordinary bow could never have such power to shoot such a long distance.

Emiya showed no intention of raising his shield; instead, he nocked his bow and fired at the girl's location.

One after another, silk threads rose from the ground, forming a shield in front of Emiya.

"bite--------!"

An extremely loud impact rang out on the shield.

"Didn't penetrate!?"

The girl's expression was completely unpredictable.

This shot was ten times more powerful than the previous one; how could it possibly fail to penetrate even the shield that had been pierced before?

The concept of "possession by evil spirits" has never been explicitly stated, nor has it been said that one cannot possess someone who is "possessed by evil spirits."

However, in the Empire, [Demon Possession] is the only item, but in Shirou Emiya's hands, [Demon Possession] is now a mass-produced weapon, although the two may differ greatly in quality.

However, for the stackable [Haunted by Evil], quantity outweighs quality.

With sufficient magical energy, Emiya covered his shield with a total of ten "Demon Possessions" on top of the existing "Demon Possessions" covering it.

Because of previous experience in instantly projecting five weapons.

Therefore, it is not a problem for Emiya to project ten [Demon Possession] weapons in such a short time.

In the instant the attack was blocked, two hands made of silk threads raised the bow in front of Emiya and aimed it at the girl.

The sword arrow with the chain also shot out like a meteor, but in terms of speed, it was far inferior to that of the girl.

By the time the arrows arrived, she had probably already moved away from the position where Shirou Emiya had fired.

Such slow-moving arrows posed no threat to her whatsoever.

Moreover, since it wasn't Shirou Emiya who fired it, the accuracy was bound to be somewhat reduced. Even if she stood still without dodging, the attack might still miss.

The sword with the chain was seen to be plunged deep into the trunk of the tree branch where the girl was standing.

She didn't dodge at all; she had already judged that the attack posed no threat to her when Shirou Emiya fired that sword.

The girl smiled disdainfully, not because she looked down on the Master, but because someone who could fight a Servant to such an extent was practically a hero.

She was merely expressing disdain for such archery skills; with such accuracy, it seemed she didn't need to frequently change her position.

Chapter 124 Absolute Speed ​​and Defense (Revised)

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

From a distance, one giant tree after another fell in the forest.

Countless impacts echoed deafeningly deep within the forest.

Arthur's battle with the green-haired youth had long since moved beyond the steps.

On one side, the hero wielding a crossbow wanted to create a good shooting environment for the girl.

On the other hand, Arthur also intended to get rid of him.

While Arthur could hold his own against him in combat, he was simply no match for him in terms of mobility.

If he wanted to deal with Shirou Emiya, Arthur wouldn't have time to stop him unless Emiya used a Command Spell.

Rather than worrying about him joining forces with Archer to attack Shirou Emiya, it would be better to lure one of them away to prevent such a situation from occurring.

As for why Arthur believed that the Servant who fought against Shirou Emiya was Archer and not someone else.

Isn't it obvious? Aren't those who use bows Archer-class?

At least that's what Arthur thought.

"I say, aren't you worried about your Master, Saber? You know, his opponent is a Servant. In a battle between Master and Servant, I don't need to tell you, you already know in your hearts who will be the ultimate victor!"

Arthur did not respond, and the invisible sword in his hand slashed directly at his neck, strands of emerald green hair being carried into the air by the blade.

"Tch! Not knowing the length of the sword makes it difficult to dodge. I say, you're not the type to hide your true intentions, are you? Why are you unwilling to reveal your weapon!"

The hero wielding the cross spear was extremely annoyed and flipped backward, because he had no way of judging the length of the weapon in the man's hand. Several times, due to misjudging the situation, the swift slashes hit his body directly.

Although he was not injured, what bothered him was not that he was hit because of his misjudgment.

Even with his incredible speed, he couldn't gain any advantage against Saber. No matter the attack, Saber could react and counterattack in a very short time.

This Saber should possess an innate skill that is more advanced than Mind's Eye.

The hero, gripping the cross spear, pondered for a moment, then twirled the spear once more before gripping it tightly with both hands and aiming it directly at Arthur.

Arthur's combat skills even suppressed the hero wielding the cross spear to some extent. However, high movement speed does not necessarily mean that his attack speed in close-range attacks will be just as fast.

In close combat, he was at a disadvantage from beginning to end.

His body was covered with all sorts of wounds.

Although it wasn't a big deal, it was enough to stir up waves in his heart.

The weapon in Saber's hand was actually capable of harming himself.

He didn't sense any divinity emanating from Arthur, so there was only one explanation.

"Is that weapon in your hand a divine weapon?"

The hero, gripping the cross-shaped spearhead, asked Arthur a question, but Arthur offered no answer, instead staring intently at him.

"That's true, who would give their information to the enemy?"

He laughed loudly, and his injuries healed extremely quickly. Although he was not completely immune to Arthur's slashes, he had absorbed most of the damage, leaving him with only minor wounds.

Just like in the anime, after being shot by the Black Archer, the wound healed simply by pulling out the arrow.
