Shirou Emiya stands on the Terra continent

The reason why we did not choose to use the Seven-Layer Ring of Blazing Sky for defense was because we did not know how many people were on the other side, and it would consume too much magic power to maintain the ring. A strengthened table would be enough to deal with bows and crossbows.

Originally, Shi Huaiya wanted to pull Emiya to find a place with others to hide from sniper attacks, but after seeing Emiya's right hand and the patterns on the table, she stopped what she was doing.

Although she couldn't understand it, Emiya's operation seemed to be using the Originium technique.

After a while, Shi Huaiya heard a thudding sound coming from the table, and the table was not broken through as she imagined, but was firmly held in front by Emiya.

From the glass of a nearby shop, Shi Huaiya clearly saw that the table was clean, but the floor was littered with crossbow arrows, some of which were even deformed due to the violent impact.

Shi Huaiya felt that all the physics she had learned before might have been eaten up by Pero.

How can a plastic table be so brave? This isn't how defensive Originium techniques are used, right?

40 I feel like I'm on a roller coaster

After Emiya was pulled away by Shi Huaiya, the owner of the seafood stall scratched his head.

"It's like this again..."

It's not his fault that he looks ferocious, which is why he left a lot of strange legends in the slums. But in fact, he is just the owner of a seafood stall who sells fish balls at night.

Really! Trust him, okay?

"Hey! The red-haired one just now..."

A man walked up to the seafood stall owner and slammed the table, trying to ask for information about Emiya, but he was speechless after the owner raised his head.

Mainly because he was so scared that he couldn't speak. If it wasn't for the last bit of dignity that made him tighten his pants, he might have had to change his pants.

"Um...what's wrong?"

The boss put down the knife in his hand, looked at the other party and asked.

"No...it's okay, Boss, please continue with your work. I...I'm leaving first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other party slipped away, followed by several people with weapons.

"Alas, here they come again, but those people..."

Looking at the man's appearance, the boss sighed.

However, he just saw that several people following the man seemed to be carrying weapons, and their target seemed to be the people with Officer Shi Huaiya.

"Notify Officer Xingxiong."

The boss took out his cell phone, made a call to report what happened here, and then looked in the direction where Emiya was leaving with a worried look on his face.

He is just an ordinary citizen and can only help up to this extent.

The man who had just slammed the table at the boss was still in shock, and the people behind him followed him and asked him:

"Brother, catch up?"

"Chase him! *Longmen swears* He caused our big brother to get arrested! Chase him!"

The man called the second brother quickly adjusted his state and let a few people catch up.

Just now they suddenly received news that the man who caused their eldest brother to be arrested was near the slums, so they rushed over and confirmed that it was that guy.

"We're in position here, ready to take action at any time."

A voice came from the phone in my hand.

"It's fine if they're injured, but it's not good if they're killed. Remember not to hurt civilians, otherwise you'll break the rules."

The second brother specifically reminded me that fighting and quarreling are common in Longmen, but as long as no one is killed, they basically turn a blind eye, unless the infected people are causing trouble maliciously.

Their eldest brother was arrested because he was an infected person and was causing trouble maliciously. It can only be said that he deserved it. The main reason was that he was too greedy for money and was tempted to take action just for a little profit.

If he wasn't worried about the loss of morale among his subordinates, he wouldn't bother with his eldest brother.

"The other person suddenly walked towards his accomplice and said something... Oh, they were showing off their affection, it's okay."

The person on the other end of the phone reported the situation at the scene, and then saw the woman covering her ears and looking angrily at the target.

“…Attack, but remember not to hit the vital parts.”

The second brother lit a cigarette and gave instructions.

Anyway, I just want to vent my anger, so I can just find any excuse to beat him up.

As the crossbowman fired the first arrow, the street fight officially began.

------------------------------

While propping up the reinforced table, Emiya paid attention to his surroundings.

This kind of passive defense has its limits after all. What he needs to do is wait for an opportunity and then counterattack or escape.

However, the opponent is holding a crossbow, so the option of running away directly can basically be abandoned.

What we can do now is to make the opponent lose the ability to fight and chase.

Through the rhythm of the attacks, Emiya could judge that there were about three opponents, and through some reflections on the glass, he could also determine the opponent's position.

“Trace on”

Three daggers appeared between Emiya's fingertips. They were just ordinary daggers. Emiya had no intention of taking these people's lives. He just wanted to use these ordinary daggers to restrict their movements.

Although I didn't intend to take the other person's life, it would be good to make him feel uncomfortable for a while.

"What is that...?"

Looking at the blades of several daggers held between Emiya's five fingers, Shi Huaiya rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had seen something wrong.

Can this guy do magic? How did he suddenly produce a dagger?

However, Emiya did not respond to Shi Huaiya's question, but threw the dagger in his hand forward, one at a time, in three different directions.

"*Longmen swears* My hand!"

“Oooooh!”

“Hmmmm!”

Hearing the screams and the sound of something metal falling to the ground, Emiya pulled Shi Huaiya and ran away.

The three daggers had successfully completed their tasks, effectively rendering several crossbowmen unable to move their hands.

Emiya also took the opportunity to escape with Shi Huaiya, and his judgment was correct. After three archers were injured, another group of people caught up with them.

"*Dragon Gate swear* throw him *Dragon Gate swear*!"

The words were so harsh that even Shi Huaiya couldn't bear to listen to them.

"*Dragon Gate swear* Don't let me catch them, or I will *Dragon Gate swear* kill them."

Shi Huaiya was running and cursing at the same time, and to Emiya it seemed that he was running fast and cursing loudly.

However, Shi Huaiya is from the Imperial Guard Bureau, so Emiya didn't dare to complain at all and just concentrated on thinking about where to run.

He was afraid that if he said something wrong, he and the people behind him would be punished by Shi Huaiya.

"Where are you going, Emiya?"

Seeing that the number of people where Emiya was taking her was decreasing, Shi Huaiya couldn't help but ask.

"Run to where there are fewer people. Although that group of people have no intention of harming others, they will still destroy the vendors."

Emiya answered Shi Huaiya while running along the route he remembered.

"Is there no way to defeat them cleanly and neatly? Like we did just now."

After seeing how Emiya threw the dagger just now, Shi Huaiya never underestimated the opponent's fighting ability again.

She is too superficial. The real boss uses a plastic table as a shield and can defeat the opponent with just a few daggers.

"…I'm afraid I'll be too harsh, mainly because the terrain here is not suitable and there are civilians."

Faced with Shi Huaiya's question, Emiya thought about it for a moment.

The weapons he could use were either ordinary weapons or Noble Phantasm-level ones. The former required some time and good terrain to fight, and although the latter could be solved in one go or even with one shot, it would be difficult for Emiya to guarantee that those people could hold on until they could get medical treatment.

Therefore, if we find a venue that is favorable to him, we won’t have to worry so much. The main concern is that the aftermath of the battle will involve other people.

"……Row."

Shi Huaiya could not refute Emiya's answer.

Her mood was like a roller coaster, from being full of confidence in finding clues at the beginning to discovering that Emiya might not be as strong as she thought, to being really attacked, and then discovering that Emiya was really good at fighting.

She vowed to at least bring her meteor hammer next time she came.

At least I won't be like now, I have no way to deal with those rough guys behind me who are swearing and can only run away like this.

41 Let's get started, the best...

After running to a slightly open place, Emiya stopped and turned around to look at the people who had been chasing him and Shi Huaiya.

Unlike Emiya and Shi Huaiya who were breathing slightly, the dozen or so people who chased after them with weapons were basically breathing as heavily as Pero.

"Do you think if we run a little longer, we can tire them out to death?"

Looking at the expressions of several people, Emiya asked Shi Huaiya in a low voice.

"Do you think they are really stupid? Can't they retreat if they can't run?"

Shi Huaiya rolled her eyes at Emiya and felt that Emiya's question was nonsense.

"Don't be so arrogant! We want to avenge our big brother! Go ahead!"

Seeing that the two men not only stopped but also seemed to be making fun of them, the leading brother became angry! He rushed towards Emiya with an iron rod, and the others followed closely behind.

Most of the weapons they had were just sticks or short swords, and Emiya didn't see any long-range weapons like bows and crossbows.

After determining the enemy's number of enemies, their weapons, and the advantageous terrain, Emiya quickly thought about how to respond.

After all, being attacked suddenly, anyone would be angry, and Emiya is no exception.

Putting the shopping bag on the ground, Emiya opened his arms.

"Trace on─"

The magic power in Emiya's hands showed black and white light respectively. As the light faded, the Yin-Yang double swords Gan Jiang Moye appeared in Emiya's hands.

"Didn't expect Gan Jiang and Moye's first battle here would be with a gangster?"

Weighing the Gan Jiang and Mo Ye in his hand, Shi Gong said to himself that this was the first time he had used Gan Jiang and Mo Ye to fight since he could remember.

Several thugs also stopped when they saw two knives in Emiya's hands.

“…Are you still fighting?”

One of the younger brothers asked weakly. Not to mention that the two knives did not look like ordinary weapons, he felt something was not good just because the other party suddenly produced two knives.

They can't afford to mess with people who know Originium skills.

"Fight, of course! There are so many of us, are we still afraid of just one person?"

Although the leading brother had already retreated a little in his heart, he still moved forward without hesitation when looking at the brothers around him.

"I don't know who the big brother you're talking about is, but since you've done something that hurt others, you should be prepared to be hurt, right?"

Leaning his body forward slightly, Emiya's eyes became sharp.

The Gan Jiang Moye in his hand transmitted to Emiya the memories of the original owner - Archer when he used them.

Gan Jiang and Moye are Archer's most commonly used treasures. Just by holding them, Emiya can feel how many battles they have accompanied Archer through.

Shi Huaiya, who was standing by, clearly felt that after Emiya grasped the black and white swords, the aura he exuded changed a lot.

And that kind of aura...she had also felt it from Chen when he was fighting seriously.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down a little, Shi Huaiya watched Emiya rushing towards the crowd with two swords in hand.

Facing the various weapons attacking him, Emiya swung the sword in his right hand, and the sword light formed a crescent shape, shattering all the weapons approaching him.

Shirou's goal has never been to kill the opponent, but to make him lose his ability to fight.

But it is not enough for weapons to shatter.

"Legs! My legs!"

The knife in his left hand lightly scratched the legs of two of them, and a large amount of blood gushed out instantly. Emiya had restrained himself a lot. If he had just thought about it, the other party would have to live with crutches or prosthetic limbs for the rest of their lives.
