Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

Lunar technology is breathtaking.

Although it became popular many years later.

“Dang! Dang! Dang!”

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Sajo Ayaka now has an urge to hit someone.

"Calm down!! Calm down!! You must calm down!!!"

She was advising herself, but——

"Did you do it on purpose!"

"Uh, I just forgot."

Shirou Emiya scratched the back of his head a little embarrassedly, because in such a dark environment, he could indeed see very clearly and did not particularly need lighting.

Even if he can't see clearly, he will be able to sense it immediately if there is danger.

He forgot that Sajo Ayaka was different from himself, and he also thought that Sajo Ayaka could perform lighting magic.

The most important point is that Shirou Emiya didn’t know that his mobile phone had a lighting function, and it was only when the white-haired Sakura reminded him that Shirou Emiya found out.

But in Sajo Ayaka's eyes, he did this on purpose just to make her angry.

"Huh...huh..."

Just as the two were talking, a sound of rapid breathing like that of a wild beast came from the darkness ahead.

One after another, dark beasts like wild wolves appeared from the darkness, carrying an extremely bloody breath, staring at the two of them.

Chapter 1090: Showing Mercy to This Soul (Kyrie Eleison)

An extremely depressing silence permeated the entire space.

Shirou Emiya's eyes gradually became solemn. He placed the mobile phone in his hand on the ground so that the light shone directly on the ceiling, and looked around.

Sajo Ayaka seemed to understand something, her breathing became rapid, her forehead was already soaked with sweat, and her right hand involuntarily rested on the ring on the middle finger of her left hand.

She was not as battle-hardened as Shirou Emiya, so her first reaction when faced with such a gloomy and depressing atmosphere was fear.

However, because Emiya Shirou was standing next to her, coupled with the previous conversation that distracted her thoughts and the dazzling cell phone, Sajo Ayaka's fear was not so strong.

If she had come here alone, in such a dark and depressing environment, coupled with the uneasy atmosphere from the very beginning, she would probably stand there unable to move out of fear.

"squeak--!"

The sound of a zipper being unzipped rang out in the suddenly quiet space, and a brand new-looking wooden sword was tightly grasped in Shirou Emiya's hand.

"It looks like the other side came prepared. We are surrounded——!"

Following Emiya Shirou's words, Sajo Ayaka looked behind them. The entrance that was originally empty was now occupied by a series of black shadows.

The chaotic breathing was wandering around.

The messy footsteps are getting closer.

A merciless and brutal gaze was scanning them.

"Roar--!"

"Roar--!"

Amid the chaotic roars, the black shadows finally revealed their true faces.

It was a hound as tall as a wild wolf.

That is a cheetah as strong as a lion.

It was a falcon as ferocious as a black falcon.

It was like walking into a forest or a prairie, with countless wild beasts emerging from the darkness.

They surrounded Emiya Shirou and Sajo Ayaka tightly as if they were staring at their prey, with ferocious looks in their eyes.

"They're coming!"

As soon as the words fell.

“Roar, roar, roar, roar, roar!!”

Accompanied by the loud howling of several of the beasts, the beasts surrounding the two people suddenly leaped up and rushed over like crazy.

Almost at the same time, the wooden sword in Emiya Shirou's hand turned into a phantom.

"Bam—!"

That was the sound of the air being torn apart.

"Ugh——!"

That was the sound of a wild beast howling in pain.

The wild beasts were mercilessly knocked away and hit the wall with great force, causing waves of echoes.

“Shoot!”

Behind Shirou Emiya, Ayaka Sajo did not just stand there. The ring on the middle finger of her left hand emitted a dark light, and countless crow feathers turned into bullets and poured towards the beasts.

"Pfft!"

That was the sound of black feathers sinking into flesh.

“Puff, puff, puff!”

The feathers, like bullets, kept piercing the bodies of the beasts running towards them, causing countless beasts to fall to the ground amid waves of blood splattering.

Then it turned into mud and sank into the ground, rapidly surging in a certain direction.

In the darkness, a squirrel appeared from nowhere and appeared at Ayaka Sajo's feet.

"Roar--!"

It let out a beast-like roar that was totally inconsistent with its own nature, leaped up from the ground, and appeared beside Sajo Ayaka's neck.

At this time, Sajo Ayaka wanted to move her palm to shoot feathers at the other party, but it was too late.

The sharp claws that were flashing with light on the petite palm were like a sharp dagger, cutting through the air and slashing forward mercilessly.

She could only watch her neck being torn apart at this moment.

"choke--!"

The knife flashed.

Like a shining shooting star.

Like a dazzling moon shadow.

The fatal blow cut through the air and landed on the squirrel with a cruel attitude.

"Pfft!"

With the sound of tearing cloth, the black shadow exploded like blood.

"Are you OK!"

At some point, Shirou Emiya appeared in front of Sajo Ayaka, and easily cut the squirrel in half with the wooden sword in his hand.

"I'm fine. I didn't expect you to be so reliable."

Ayaka Sajo patted her chest slightly. It felt bad to have just had a brush with death. If it weren't for Shirou Emiya, she would have died long ago.

However, it must be said that if it weren't for Shirou Emiya who attracted the attention of most of these beasts, she would have been overwhelmed by the group of beasts by herself.

"Even though we've killed so many of them, the number of these beasts hasn't decreased at all!"

After recovering from her shock, Sajo Ayaka exhaled, and spoke with a tired tone as she continued to pour out her energy towards the beasts around her.

After fighting for such a long time and killing countless beasts, the final result was as if nothing had been done, which gave Sajo Ayaka a strong sense of frustration.

"Besides, aren't Dead Apostles generally transformed from humans? Why are there only these beasts here?"

The information about Dead Apostles was not hidden in the magic world, and it was not that only the Holy Church had information about Dead Apostles. It was just that she spent most of her time studying her family's magic, so her knowledge reserves were not that rich.

If Toosaka Rin was here, she might be able to guess from these beasts their master - Nero Chaos, one of the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles.

And he asked a soul-searching question - why did Nero Chaos, one of the twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles, appear here?

But at this stage, only Nero Chaos himself knows the answer to this question.

"Killing like this is not a solution!"

Feeling that half of her magic power had been consumed, Sajo Ayaka showed a rather anxious expression. Her magic power was not infinite, and Emiya Shirou's physical strength was even less infinite.

If this continues, they will be exhausted to death in this place sooner or later.

Is there no choice but to leave?

Sajo Ayaka looked around, seeing the endless herd of beasts emerging from the darkness, and then she immediately made up her mind.

If she could fight her way out now, she would still have a chance of survival. Otherwise, when her magic power was exhausted, it would be difficult for Shirou Emiya to leave alone.

"Let's retreat!"

However, what Sajo Ayaka did not expect was that Emiya Shirou standing in front of her rejected her proposal.

"No, there is a solution."

"cherry--!"

"Understood, Senior! The ritual has been set! The ranged [Baptism Chant] is activated!"

As the magic power of the cell phone on the ground began to surge, electric-like stripes instantly covered the ground around Emiya Shirou and Sajo Ayaka.

The next second————

The beasts that attacked the two people, whether they were running on the ground or flying in the sky, were pinned to the ground and unable to move.

At this moment, Kotomine Kirei's steady voice also echoed from this space.

"Declaration——"

“I kill, I give life; I injure, I heal.”

"What cannot be crossed is my palm, what cannot be escaped is my gaze."

"Destroy, the broken, the old, I call you back. Follow me, imitate me, obey me."

"Rest in peace, do not forget the song, do not forget the prayer, do not forget me, with my lightness, forget all the burdens."

"I hold peace in my hand, and for your sins I anoint and brand you."

"Eternal life is given by death."

"Forgiveness comes, swear by my flesh--"

"Gaze upon this soul with mercy" (Kyrie Eleison)

Chapter 1091 Warcraft

"Baptismal chant? Are you from the church?"

Looking at Shirou Emiya's back, Sajo Ayaka showed a surprised expression.

On the one hand, baptismal chants are the exclusive spiritual magic of the church.

On the other hand, this ritual utilizes the universal foundation of "doctrine", which means that if you want to use this magic, you cannot just know the ritual, but also need faith in the Lord.

"Do you think I'm from the church? And I didn't perform that spell. Do you feel any magical fluctuations from me?"

"Indeed not. Wait? You didn't even use strengthening magic just now?"

Unable to sense any fluctuations of magical power from Shirou Emiya, Sajo Ayaka found that she seemed to have underestimated this man. It seemed that he was really powerful.

But the situation is already so dangerous, what does it mean that you don't even use strengthening magic?

Sajo Ayaka looked at Emiya Shirou with a strange expression, but thinking that all these crises were solved by Emiya Shirou, she didn't say what she wanted to say.

Maybe Emiya Shirou was so busy preparing the [Baptism Chant] that he didn't even have time to use the strengthening magic?

Ayaka Sajo felt that her imagination was well-founded and convincing.

She would never have thought that Shirou Emiya was not even a magician now, but just an ordinary resident of Fuyuki City.
