Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

But in front of Kallen, a ring with seven layers of protective shields was quietly suspended in the air, like a blooming cherry blossom.

The next moment, the purple-black beam seemed to lose its magical support and turned into a red light, spreading all around.

"Rho Aias"

Looking at the corpse in front of him, Emiya Shirou spoke slowly.

If weapons can be projected around the body, then protective gear can naturally be projected as well.

"The shield of the hero Ajax used in the Trojan War is shaped like petals and has seven pieces. Each piece is powerful enough to rival an ancient city wall. The fact that it can penetrate three of them is enough to prove the power of this magic beam."

Turning his head slightly, he saw the seven-layered ring of Blazing Sky floating in front of Kallen. The first three layers had been shattered, and the fourth layer also had some cracks.

However, to be honest, the enemies he had encountered before were either able to penetrate all seven layers at once, or were able to destroy the last shield.

Of course, the strongest of the seven-layer ring of Seraph is naturally the last one. It can even be said that the first six layers are not as strong as the seventh. However, simply relying on magic to shatter three layers is already very powerful, not to mention that this is not the opponent's full-strength attack.

"Ah la la! I've been discovered. I was planning to act out a scene where I was killed. Even the Shield of Ajax can be projected, within the red bean paste Kawa!"

The head rolling on the ground suddenly turned around, still with a somewhat crazy smile, staring at Emiya Shirou.

"I didn't expect that as a righteous partner, your hands are stained with the blood of many people. Otherwise, how could you tell the difference between real people and puppets so easily?"

As he spoke, the blood that spilled on the ground disappeared, and the thing lying on the ground with a severed head was just a crude-looking puppet.

Making puppets is a magical technique, similar to a discipline, just like gem magic. Even the top puppeteer Aozaki Touko was not born with the ability to make puppets, but learned it from the Clock Tower and then studied it on her own.

The puppets she used were just ordinary automatic puppets. This kind of automatic puppet technology was used by magicians in most cases to act and fight on their behalf.

It’s just that, under the blessing of the illusion, this doll became extremely real, and even Shirou Emiya did not notice the abnormality at the first time.

It was not until he cut off the neck that Emiya Hishiro confirmed by the feel of his hand that this was not a real person, but something like an artificial corpse.

In the words of the purple-haired girl, he had too much combat experience, as if he had just come down from the battlefield.

"So your real body is inside the airship?"

Shirou Emiya ignored the purple-haired girl's words and looked straight at the huge monster in front of him. He had been confused a long time ago, and for him now, such words could not shake his heart at all.

It even said that the words were not as intense as those of the guy in blue tights or the guy in a red cape.

"Although I don't want to admit it, even if you guess it, you can guess where I am now. Fortunately, I won't hide it-"

As she spoke, the purple-haired girl appeared at the front desk of the airship, looking down at the two people below. Unknowingly, the unconscious young man A had appeared beside her.

His use of illusion has not only reached perfection, but has reached the pinnacle.

Without the two of them noticing, Youth A was brought into the airship.

"Don't worry, there will be a feast next--!"

Looking at Shirou Emiya who was about to project and launch an attack, he didn't care about his own danger at all. He opened his hands as if he was feeling the gentle breeze and the threat of death.

"The ritual has been completed!"

"Zheng——!"

"Boom--!"

Before Emiya Shirou could make any move, the earth began to wail and a dazzling light bloomed on the surface of the river.

It was as if something was about to fall, and dark clouds gathered like a whirlpool, covering the entire sky in an instant.

"what happened--!?"

Toosaka Rin, who was studying magic in her own mansion, suddenly stopped and looked towards the Fuyuki Bridge with a frown.

“Such a powerful magic——!”

Just as he said, an extremely powerful magical power suddenly appeared and gathered above the Fuyuki City Bridge, gathering into dark clouds.

"This...how come the nice weather suddenly became gloomy!"

"When did such a large airship appear on the river bank? Is it a new tourist attraction?"

"I always feel like something is about to come out of the river."

"I seem to have heard you say this ten years ago."

"Have it?"

"Yes, I don't remember it."

At this time, the residents who were still wandering around Fuyuki Bridge seemed to have sensed the abnormality and came over with curious expressions.

Chapter 916: Deceiving Everything Is the Truth

The surrounding space suddenly became somewhat illusory, even the sky turned purple, like a mirage, more or less carrying a sense of unreality.

"Ah, Jill, Jill! My dear friend!"

The purple-haired girl standing on the airship was giving a passionate speech. The river beneath her was boiling wildly as if it was on fire, and dark clouds in the sky were swirling in a vortex.

“You who believe in God, praise God, question God, blaspheme God, but never deny God, this is true faith, this is the cry of your soul.”

This was not a magic chant, but simply a compliment to her dear friend whom she admired so much.

Its airships also continued to take off at this moment.

"Is this really something a magician can do?"

Looking at what was in front of her, Kallen's pupils couldn't help but tremble.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the river directly opposite the Fuyuki Bridge.

There, on the foggy river surface, a huge figure slowly emerged.

The whole body is a strange dark blue color.

The upper body looks like a collection of various marine creatures, with countless tentacles and holes, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

The lower body is made up of octopus-like tentacles, with countless bubbles expanding on the tentacles.

It has no face, or perhaps it doesn't even have the words to describe where its face is.

Tentacles with dark blue and red colors extended from its lower body, swinging up and down.

As they watched the extremely strange and evil huge figure slowly appear and enter their field of vision, at that moment, everyone's heartbeat stopped and their breathing suddenly stagnated.

An overwhelming sense of presence emanated from the opponent, like a tangible pressure, covering the entire vicinity of the Fuyuki City Bridge. At this moment, everyone was covered in fear, stopped what they were doing, and stared blankly at the things in front of them.

“ROAR ...

The roar like that of a savage beast turned into sound waves, shaking the air, and like an invisible shock wave, it swept across every building around the Fuyuki City Bridge.

The mere sound was like a violent storm and huge waves.

With a terrifying cry, tentacle-like vines were raised high around the monster.

"Bang————!"

With a muffled explosion, huge tentacles dropped from the sky like a violent storm, mercilessly hurling towards the stunned crowd around them.

“Swoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Countless sword arrows turned into meteors and shot towards the tentacles that were attacking the crowd like a rain curtain.

“Bang bang bang bang bang bang!!!!!”

The sword arrows were like destructive artillery fire, penetrating the tentacles in an instant, causing explosions and shocks.

No matter from which angle you look at it, these sword arrows seemed to be cutting through the air when they penetrated the tentacles.

"Those are just illusions?"

Shirou Emiya frowned, not being able to understand what the girl was trying to do.

"Bang————!"

With a muffled explosion, a huge tentacle fell from the sky and landed heavily on a house nearby, smashing it to pieces.

The rubble and debris in the sky were blown away by the blast, like a sandstorm, instantly submerging the surrounding area.

But all of this is just an illusion. How can an existence created by an illusion have the power of destruction?

What on earth does she want to do?

All of Emiya Shirou's sword arrows seemed to have hit a phantom. Neither its body nor its tentacles could touch it. They passed through it easily as if they were breaking through the air.

“Bang—bang—bang—bang—bang—bang!”

Amidst deafening roars, the monster slowly moved towards the Fuyuki Bridge. Wherever it passed, the buildings on the street were smashed by its thick tentacles and turned into ruins and rubble in an instant.

"Ah——! Ah——!"

On the street, every citizen was trembling, and some even fell directly to the ground, only able to make groaning sounds.

The emotion called despair turned into the strongest fear, filling everyone's heart.

Even Kallen's pretty face turned extremely pale and her delicate body was on the verge of collapse.

However, these are just false, all illusions.

The devastated land remains intact.

The destroyed house remained unchanged, and even the people who were asleep inside had no idea what was happening outside.

No one among the fleeing crowd was injured.

Everything that happens here is illusory, everything is false, and everything seems in vain.

"Your pain is my pain!"

"Your happiness is my happiness!"

"And the crime you committed is the crime I once committed!"

"Jill! Your blasphemy has finally touched upon the realm of God!"

In a ruin.

In a blaze of fire.

Under the moonlight.

The purple-haired girl stood in front of the airship, giving a passionate speech, as if she was expressing her irrepressible emotions, as if she was announcing her existence.

On the boiling river.

Amid the crowd's fear.

Under the roar of the monster.

Everything is so absurd and boundless, and everything is so terrifying.

Magic power suddenly surged throughout the entire airship.

The purple-haired girl revealed an extremely crazy smile at the corner of her mouth.

"When darkness dances with evil!"

"When death and blood boil!"

"When fear and despair rejoice!"

"When reality and fantasy intersect!"

"When everything is deceived, the lie will become the truth!"

"This can be called a grand closing!"

The purple-haired girl was extremely solemn and polite as she bowed towards the chaos below.

"Snapped--!"

The next second, there was a snap of fingers, and the girl's fingertips on the airship moved slightly.

At that moment, the entire sky suddenly became quiet.

Immediately, the world changed.

The earth began to wail.

The river began to surge.

The sky began to darken.
