Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

The shield that had formed in front of Emiya was melting at an alarming rate, and chain swords appeared behind the shield, covering it at an equally alarming speed.

The massive consumption of magic power even caused Emiya's divine vessel to emit a dazzling blue aura.

This is a manifestation of magic leakage because the user doesn't keep track of magic loss.

Emiya Shirou is currently using his magic power in an extremely wasteful manner.

But he clearly didn't care about that anymore.

This beam of light possesses power far exceeding that of an A-class beam, reaching an extra-level (EX-class) beyond the standard.

Even those with the highest level of magic resistance would be instantly burned to ashes under this terrifying beam of magic.

Not to mention a few seconds, in less than a second, the ten shields formed by [Demon Possession] in front of Emiya were melted down to just one layer. He simply couldn't withstand such an incredibly powerful beam of light.

Under this terrifying torrent, all efforts seemed futile, as the terrifying rays mercilessly devoured Shirou Emiya.

Emiya could only watch helplessly as the dazzling beam of light appeared in front of him.

A terrifying heat enveloped Shirou Emiya in an instant.

"Zi——!"

A sound like the power had gone out rang out, and the terrifying beam of light vanished instantly, leaving behind only scorched earth and Shirou Emiya, covered in blood and with his armor tattered.

Emiya Shirou projected [Demon Possession] once again, looking in the direction the beam was emitted.

It wasn't that the attack by the beam of light had ended, or perhaps it was because its magical energy supply was insufficient.

Instead—

Emiya Shirou knelt on the ground, utterly exhausted.

A colossal hanging garden, suspended in the distance, bathed in the bright moonlight, its enormous shadow so vast that even Emiya could hardly see the moon behind it.

Suddenly, enormous magic circles unfolded on the sides of the Sky Garden, transforming into cannon emplacements.

On the side of that sky garden, a golden beam of light, with unstoppable force, transformed into a torrent and clashed with the magical beams it emitted in the air.

A terrifying gust of air burst forth from it, and all the surrounding trees collapsed with a roar due to the explosive force of their collision.

The tremor was so strong that even Emiya felt his body suddenly sink.

This is just a clash between two beams of light thousands of meters away, yet it already possesses such power.

Emiya felt a sweet taste rise in his throat, forced himself to hold it in, and stood up.

There was nothing left around him except the scorching earth.

Tables, beds, rooms, corridors, castles, and even the maids and butlers moving about inside the castle—everything turned to ashes and vanished into the air in this beam of light.

Half of the entire Yggdrasilian castle was razed to the ground by this attack.

The remaining guards in the castle were also almost all affected by the terrifying aftershocks. The powerful impact sent them flying, crashing to the ground and slamming into the wall.

The entire Yggdrasilnia clan was thrown into chaos. Countless wounded people sat on the ground, letting their blood flow freely, completely oblivious to their own lives.

Because of the departure of Archer and Berserker from the Red side, the inexplicable addition of a Servant to the Black side, and a Master who had severely injured Archer, the Red side did not choose to make any attempt to conceal their actions and directly invaded the Black side from their own side.

Instead, they chose to conceal themselves through magic, approach stealthily, and launch a fatal attack.

Although the barrier that directly covered Tulifas was large, it only served the purpose of surveillance and reconnaissance, and was destroyed by Kotomine Shiro and Caster of the Red Team on the second night.

It disrupted the Black Party's comprehensive surveillance of its own territory.

Furthermore, they launched their attack precisely when the Black side had not yet repaired the large barrier.

Vlad III had anticipated that the Reds would choose to attack when their overall surveillance of the situation was no longer effective, and he had made ample preparations.

Even before the Yggdrasilia clan's castle was built, Caster had used a barrier to hide a group of golems and androids, ready to surround them at any time.

They don't have the same powerful combat strength as Heroic Spirits, but they still have their own value.

Vlad III had no idea that the Reds possessed such a terrifying weapon.

With a single strike, Caster broke through the defensive barrier that the Yggdrasilian castle had set up outside.

Red didn't intend to defeat Black's servants with such a single blow, but disrupting Black's rhythm was enough!

"They trespassed on my territory and even went so far as to slaughter all my people!"

Emiya Shirou saw Vlad III, bathed in moonlight, covering his face and laughing involuntarily while sitting on his horse.

That smile was like a devil's, both dark and terrifying.

"My warriors, my heroes, the invaders have set foot on our proud land! There is only one thing you need to do!!!"

Vlad raised his gun high, pointing it angrily at the garden suspended in the air.

The puppets and androids hidden in the forest also appeared, holding their weapons and looking fearlessly at the Sky Garden that had destroyed their position with a single blow.

"Annihilate all the invaders!!!"

It was as if they were preparing to respond to Vlad III's attack.

The rooftop garden also rapidly unleashed countless sharp teeth.

The moment those teeth hit the ground, they immediately transformed into skeleton soldiers, like trees taking root and sprouting, gripping bone swords and crawling out of the earth with a "crackling" sound.

Chapter 159 The Red-Haired Boy Rescued on the Battlefield (Revised)

After the Black faction's positions were destroyed, the entire area where the Yggdrasilia clan lived was turned into a battlefield.

The Master cannot stay safely in the castle; the Servant can only carry the Master to the battlefield to fight against the Red Army.

Countless units summoned by the Hanging Gardens sped toward the castle of the Yggdrasiliens, where they clashed with Vlad III and the various Servants of the Black Faction, resulting in a fierce and intense battle.

However, the red side never intended to engage in a direct confrontation with the black side.

As the surrounding forest rippled, countless bone-like soldiers appeared around the Yggdmireneia castle.

They have completely surrounded it.

These are the units summoned by that aerial garden—Dragon Fang Soldiers.

It is a monster created by using dragon teeth as a material.

It looks like a skeleton made entirely of bones, even the weapon in its hand is made of bones. It is a low-level monster that can be easily killed by ordinary magicians.

But the existence of these monsters has never relied on their own great mass, but rather on their sheer number that inspires despair.

Emiya struggled to withstand the relentless onslaught of the Dragon Fang Soldiers, searching for something.

His expression was extremely anxious, and his armor seemed to have been torn long ago.

In the distance, the battle between the Heroic Spirits continued, with terrifying sounds of air being torn apart echoing from afar.

The ground shook incessantly, as if in fear.

In such a complex battlefield, no Servant cared about someone of such low strength.

Just like no one cares about the androids fighting bloody battles on the battlefield.

The Black side wouldn't care about their deaths, and the Red side wouldn't care even more about the enemy's dead troops.

But there was one person who cared about this immensely.

"clang--!"

The sharp bone sword pierced Shirou Emiya's armor once again, and blood gushed from Shirou Emiya's back.

Even the [Possessed by Evil Spirits] technique could not remain intact under the relentless onslaught of endless Dragon Fang Soldiers.

Even so, Emiya gritted his teeth and continued searching for something on the battlefield.

It was the figure of a red-haired boy with fiery red hair, dragging his weary and crippled body, who felt a deep joy at discovering that someone was still alive.

He looked so happy, as if he himself was the one who had been saved, not me.

An android lay in a pool of blood, staring blankly at the red-haired boy who had suddenly appeared.

"I'm so glad I found you."

The red-haired youth lifted him from the ground and, surrounded by countless Dragon Fang soldiers, carried him away from the battlefield like a hero.

"Let me save one more! Let me save one more!"

Emiya Shirou carried her away from the battlefield and ran towards the forest.

He cannot stop this battlefield, but please let him do his best to save those on the battlefield.

In a daze, the android saw a forest where many severely injured androids were sitting scattered about, all sitting silently in place.

The red-haired boy found a spot to put it down, and then ran back to the battlefield once more.

Emiya Shirou felt a pulling force on his hand.

Why would you go to such lengths for us?

In the silent forest, the android asked the question that all the androids present had always wanted to ask the red-haired boy.

This is also a question that should naturally arise from the depths of an artificial being's heart.

For the androids, the Yggdrasilian race is everything. They were born through the Yggdrasilian race and should live for the Yggdrasilian race.

The Yggdrasiliens are beings that should be respected by the Homunculi, beings that should be served, and beings that gave them life.

Almost all the homunculi consider it perfectly normal for them to be tools of the Yggdrasilian race, after all, their lives were given to them by them.

Without the Yggdrasilia clan, how could they have witnessed such a vibrant and colorful world, and how could they have participated in the great battle between Heroic Spirits?

So from the very beginning, they positioned themselves as tools of the Yggdmirena race, rather than their subordinates or partners.

But now, Shirou Emiya, who should treat them as mere props to be discarded at will, is risking his own life to save these androids who have entered the battlefield.

As artificial beings, their lives are of paramount importance to magicians, let alone a magician like him who possesses the rank of Servant.

Therefore, artificial humans have extremely high questions about this.

All the rescued androids present focused their gaze on Shirou Emiya.

Emiya turned to look at the androids covered in countless wounds, and his gaze softened.

He didn't launch into a long speech arguing that even though they were androids, they were still human in his eyes, nor did he provide examples to show that they weren't just simple magical creations.
