The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 175 "Emiya's Favor Is Not Over Yet!"

"Shadow Servant, what the hell?"

"Shadow Servant," Emiya explained quickly, his tone calm and clear, "is different from the real Servants of the Holy Grail War. It is a fake shadow made by using the spirit base of a Heroic Spirit as a mold. It is like the reflection of the real body on the mirror."

This type of shadow servant is far less powerful than the genuine servant due to its incomplete spiritual foundation. As a fake, they are unable to use any skills and treasures of the genuine ones.

As Emiya spoke, he looked around cautiously. Regardless of the origin of the Shadow Servants, what puzzled him most at the moment was why these Shadow Servants targeted them.

Among the three of them, who is the real target of the attack?
This is crucial. If the target is Emiya, then he can easily judge that the person coming is a supporter of Odin's forces; if the target is Eri, then it means that the other party is coveting her value as a vessel of God;
If the target is Charlotte, then the possible opponent could be any party participating in the Holy Grail War.

"Be careful, it's coming!"

The shadow followers were like a pack of wolves, or hunters in the wilderness, with the black air wrapped around them blending in with the night. The source of their charge, the huge dark area, reminded people of the legends of the netherworld or hell.

The terrifying howling stopped abruptly the moment the Shadow Servants launched their attack, leaving only the rustling sound of leaves rubbing against the ground.

However, all of this was invisible to Emiya's "mind's eye". The rhythmic breathing of magic and the sharp breath of unsheathed swords entered the dense information world created by his senses through the air. Then, he suddenly caught sight of a swordsman charging at the forefront of the Shadow Servants.

"An ancient sword, a brand new weapon design I've never seen before..."

Nowadays, Emiya can record all the information about swords and weapons instantly with just a glance, so the attacking shadow servants have no idea that they are actually "aiding the enemy".

"Noble Phantasm Liberation——"

The dazzling light pierced the sky, and the sword roared like a dragon!
Emiya held up the Taia Sword, his eyes burning as he scanned the swords wielded by the Shadow Servants, reading through the endless information brought by these weapon designs, and finally he released the true name of the sword in his hand...

"Using the mountains and rivers of Chu as a blade, and the blood and tears of the princes as a sharp edge - the spirit penetrates the mountains and rivers, and the kingly way is blameless!"

This was a treasured weapon that once belonged to the King of Chu, and it could break through thousands of troops with one sword. The sword tore through the air in the blink of an eye, emitting a mighty and sharp sword energy. The sword energy was like the roaring forests and the rushing rivers, and it rushed straight to the group of shadow servants with unparalleled might!

Boom——!
The heaven and earth shook, and the sword energy rolled up countless debris on the ground, which cracked into long marks in an instant, like a frenzy of fighting on the battlefield caused by thousands of weapons and long blades.

The shadow servant who rushed in the front was the first to suffer. His whole body covered with black energy was torn apart by the fine cutting sword energy. His long sword broke and his armor shattered. In an instant, he was turned into powder. Following closely behind was the next servant who suffered because he failed to dodge in time...

From the moment Emiya's sword burst into a dazzling light and recited the words of liberation, Charlotte's eyes widened and her mouth opened involuntarily, as if she had seen something incredible.

Not long ago, she was still proudly thinking that she had obtained Sima Yi's power and could finally try out the Servant's ultimate move - the Noble Phantasm. That kind of power filled her heart with confidence, as if she had already stood proudly at the top of the world.

However, when she turned around, she saw that her teammate, Emiya, had actually produced a Noble Phantasm on the spot and released it directly without any external help!

Charlotte was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Wow, you are a living person, and you released your treasure. Are you the Servant or am I the Servant?

Because in her impression, Emiya has always been a genius in the field of alchemy, as if he was born to unlock the mysteries of the world. Later, after learning that he had completed the "God-killing feat", Charlotte realized that this guy was not only a genius in alchemy, but also a master of combat.

She had never understood how these two completely different and extraordinary behaviors could appear in one person at the same time...

Because alchemy experts are different from elite fighters. Most of them stay at home, such as her grandfather who lives in a laboratory, and Master Flamel who lives in the attic all year round... There are not many who go to the battlefield in person.

Now, she finally understood - it turns out that your alchemy skills are so outrageous that you can "print" out treasures at will, right?
Thinking of this, Charlotte subconsciously turned her gaze to Eri. This girl, whom she had never gotten to know well, was watching Emiya wielding the gleaming silver sword with sparkling eyes. She held a notebook in her hand and wrote something quickly, as if she was witnessing and recording the true face of the world that was slowly unfolding before her eyes.

As for the dangerous situation she was in, Eri seemed to be completely unaware of it and was still immersed in her own world.

Ah, I've had enough of this kind of naivety——

"Don't just stare blankly, be careful behind you!"

Emiya's reminder was like a thunderbolt, instantly bringing Charlotte back to reality. She turned around abruptly, and the suitcase in her hand was opened instantly, and liquid mercury flew out of the box like a living thing. "Try this!"

When Charlotte gained the power of a Servant, this alchemical creation actually displayed amazing performance. Under the control of magic, the strength and agility of Mercury rose to incredible heights, as if it had been given life.

Pfft!

The mercury liquid was like a poisonous assassin, crawling on the ground at a high speed, and then suddenly changed into sharp long thorns, piercing through an attacking shadow servant, making a piercing sound that penetrated the flesh and blood. The cold metallic luster flickered in the night, with deadly elegance and precision.

That's more like it! Charlotte's mouth finally lifted slightly, and she secretly felt relieved.

If she had finally won the position of Master and unexpectedly enhanced the power of her Servant, but ended up being a pitiful spectator in the battle, she might as well find a place to bury herself.

"Can you calculate how many enemies are left?"

Emiya suddenly asked.

"What?" Charlotte didn't react for a moment and frowned slightly.

"I mean, your Mercury AI should have computer functions similar to data collection!" There was a hint of urging in Emiya's tone. He was still staring at the darkness around him with his mind's eyes, guarding against the next wave of attacks.

Charlotte understood the meaning instantly. She bent down, gently touched the liquid mercury that was still transforming and killing the enemy, and whispered the spell to activate the calculation function, "- Adjust!"

Instantly, the mercury that had turned into a sharp spike, comparable to the beggar version of the "King of Death Penalty" treasure, gave up its attacking form. It turned into a thin layer of slightly shiny mercury molecules, like a stream under the moonlight, spreading towards the darkness in all directions, as if it was going to swallow up the entire space.

Just a few seconds later, Charlotte spoke with a hint of disbelief in her voice: "...The number of individuals just defeated is 32, the number of individuals still able to move and approaching is 87...The number of individuals still watching from a distance is 143, 297, 489...How can there be so many!?"

Her voice gradually became more rapid, and finally became almost a murmur. Charlotte was dumbfounded. The number in front of her seemed endless. Are the Shadow Servants endless? Moreover, such a large number of abnormal beings should have been completely exposed to the surface society long ago.

Unless... they were trapped in Nibelungen. But how could the scene in Nibelungen be exactly the same as reality?
"We can't just fall into the enemy's rhythm."

Emiya was silent for a moment, then made a quick judgment, "We must resolve the source of the distortion before we can achieve escape!"

He had a guess about this special space - the "mirror space" that appeared in "Magical Girl Illya".

That is a replica of reality formed by the distortion of the earth veins, but in Moyi, the root cause of the distortion of the mirror space is the "class card", and the enemy that appears is also a blackened servant who is unconsciously crazy... But here, what appears are a bunch of shadow servants who have martial arts but no skills or treasures.

What on earth is twisting the earth veins?
"How to do it exactly?"

Charlotte subconsciously followed Emiya's command, with a hint of nervousness and uneasiness in her tone. At this moment, she no longer dared to confidently declare that she could rely on the strength of her servants to travel around. This so-called Holy Grail War was far more dangerous than she had imagined, and it gave her a big job right from the start.

Moreover, the development of the matter was too inexplicable. She had originally just wanted to come over to meet up offline and summon a Servant to challenge the rumored strength of Emiya, but how did she get involved in such a strange incident in the blink of an eye? What made her feel even more complicated was that it was Emiya who protected her all the way.

"Fight a mobile war!" Emiya's voice was calm and decisive. "I will be responsible for the team's protection during the movement. You use your Mercury Ritual to detect the enemy and find the real twisted existence hidden in the Shadow Servants!"

"Okay!" Charlotte nodded quickly, her eyes swept around, the rhythm of mercury conveyed instant information feedback, "Go north first, that's where the shadow servants are coming from, it's very likely to be the enemy's nest!"

The two of them moved quickly, fighting as they moved. Eri was safely sandwiched in the middle - the red-haired girl seemed completely unaware of the danger around her, running with them happily, as if she was experiencing a fantastic adventure.

Charlotte glanced at Eri and couldn't help but complain in her heart, is this guy really so careless or does he really not understand the danger?

In her eyes, Eri, as "Ermiya's younger sister" is older than her, but she still maintains a childish nature.

I think the reason why this little sister has been able to live a safe and stable life since she was a child is really thanks to Emiya’s meticulous care. This kindness can never be repaid.
