Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Although these puppets appeared very weak, they were incredibly strong and fast. In almost an instant, they had completely surrounded Shirou Emiya.

Looking at these dolls, Shirou Emiya couldn't help but frown.

It seems this is the doll that Yuji Sakai was talking about, the one that devours humans.

"Projection started (Trace on)"

Two serrated samurai swords appeared out of thin air in Shirou Emiya's hands, a perfect opportunity to use this skill in the face of being surrounded.

"Beast Breathing, Fifth Fang, tearing wildly."

The two swords swung wildly in all directions without any rhyme or reason. With the blessing of [Possessed by Evil Spirits], the two samurai swords unleashed an extremely terrifying storm of blades.

In the blink of an eye, the puppets surrounding Shirou Emiya were torn apart as if by wild beasts, turning into fragments that vanished into flames in the air.

But the dolls that were still in the distance seemed oblivious to Shirou Emiya's immense destructive power.

It makes a crisp, creaking sound.

The puppets suddenly began to swing their arms and legs, bursting up from all directions like ferocious beasts, rushing towards Shirou Emiya's position.

As the dolls charged toward him, Shirou Emiya had no intention of defending himself. Since he had used the Breath of the Beast, his fighting style should naturally be like that of a wild beast.

Shirou Emiya was half-crouched, and with his regular breathing, the muscles in his feet trembled, and a powerful vortex of energy was generated from his feet at that moment.

"call out--!"

In that instant, Shirou Emiya vanished.

"Beast Breathing - Fang Shattering Slash"

Two serrated swords crossed, and as Shirou Emiya charged forward, countless slashes erupted from his path.

Under Shirou Emiya's powerful dynamic vision, those slashes swept across the crowd in the street, accurately tearing the dolls to pieces.

Even without the "Possessed by Demons" outfit, Shirou Emiya possesses the strength to crush these puppets.

Chapter 227 Fariagni

"Seal off."

That is a kind of free law.

The so-called "free magic" refers to the magic that uses the power of existence to create all sorts of magical phenomena at will.

Just like the magic tricks performed by magicians, it is a way of using energy. However, the miracles that neither magicians nor modern technology can achieve are generally called magic.

It acts like a barrier, isolating the inner and outer spaces, completely severing the cause and effect between them, bringing the inner space into a state of stillness, while the outer space remains unobservable, a kind of free law that seals off the inner space.

This kind of free method is generally only used for two purposes.

One method is to allow those phosphorescent particles and puppets to exist in seclusion, devouring the life force of humanity.

Another purpose is to use it as a battlefield so as not to interfere with the present world.

"Bang————!"

Almost at the very moment Shirou Emiya slayed all the puppets, a ball of flame suddenly appeared in mid-air and burst into flames.

It was a pale white flame.

The flames gradually coalesced into a physical form, eventually transforming into a man.

Immediately afterwards, an elegant yet sinister voice came from the other party's mouth.

"I never imagined that one day I would be able to see humans fighting like Flame Haze inside the sealed-off area. Perhaps I have been here for too long and have not realized that the world has become so interesting."

Accompanied by such a voice, a young man dressed in a pure white suit, surrounded by a white cloth that resembled a feather robe, appeared in the pale white flames.

"Are you the mastermind behind the wanton slaughter of humanity?"

Emiya Shirou raised his serrated katana, pointing it at the man hovering in the air, his voice filled with rage.

If those low-profile people were all killed by this man, then his hands must have been stained with countless amounts of blood long ago.

At a glance, you can see several torches; the proportion of torches in the entire city is definitely not small.

The thought of those people who were living good lives suddenly disappearing from the world as if they had never existed made Shirou Emiya unconsciously clench his fists.

Even if he has forgotten, based on the speculation of this power, when the power of existence within the torch disappears, he will disappear from people's memories forever.

Even in death, no one mourns for you, there is no proof that you lived in this world. What a cruel form of torture this is! To watch helplessly as your loved ones slowly forget you is incredibly despairing.

The man, seemingly oblivious to Shirou Emiya's anger, spoke with an elegant smile and a leisurely demeanor.

"My name is Fariagni. Nice to meet you. You are the user of the armor-type Noble Phantasm."

After all, in Fariagni's eyes, what enabled Shirou Emiya to fight his own doll was the armor, not Shirou Emiya himself.

All he cares about is that suit of armor. Humans, ha—

He doesn't need to know the name of the human who uses that Noble Phantasm, since they will die at his hands and become his power of existence.

Fariagni's eyes were filled with disdain.

He is known in the industry as a "hunter" for collecting magical artifacts and hunting Flame Haze warriors.

He is known as the "Hunter" because of his collection of treasures and his hunting of Flame Haze warriors. He has a cunning personality and rich intelligence. His strength ranks among the top five of the Crimson Denizens in modern times, making him an extremely powerful being.

Of course, this refers to the modern era. After all, many Crimson Lords have lived for a very long time, so he naturally cannot compare.

But this is enough to prove its strength.

The main reason Fariagni appeared was, of course, because the armor worn by Shirou Emiya greatly intrigued him.

He had personally witnessed the armor transform from a sword, a Noble Phantasm he had never seen before, coupled with the power displayed by Emiya Shirou.

Fariagni highly praised this armor for both its expressiveness and appearance.

Even if I can't use it myself, it will never stop me from collecting it.

Of course, Shirou Emiya was unaware of these things, nor did he want to know.

All he needed to know was that the man in front of him was the mastermind behind the massacre of those people.

"Oh!"

Fariagni hovered in the air and snapped his fingers with great elegance. Suddenly, pale white flames burst into flames around him as if in an explosion.

One by one, the puppets emerged from the flames.

These puppets are clearly completely different from those that Shirou Emiya had previously killed.

Its brand-new appearance alone is enough to judge its strength, which is far superior to those of other beings.

The idols appeared to be pulled by invisible threads, spinning in mid-air before suddenly shooting downwards like bullets.

The air itself trembled violently.

If you were hit by such an attack, you would probably be torn to pieces instantly.

Emiya Shirou suddenly pushed off the ground and dodged away, avoiding the attacking puppet army.

The ground instantly turned to dust under the doll's attack.

But Shirou Emiya wouldn't wait for Fariagne to launch attack after attack.

He quickly steadied himself, gripping two serrated samurai swords and suddenly lunged forward.

Like a silver meteor, accompanied by a powerful push from the ground, Shirou Emiya suddenly shot into the air.

Fariagni's reaction speed was also quick; a large number of puppets appeared around him again and shot towards Shirou Emiya in the air.

In the air, it's not so easy to dodge.

"Sword Breathing, Beast Form: Fang Dance!"

In mid-air, Shirou Emiya seemed to have transformed into a spinning top, tightly gripping his serrated katana and spinning around.

The powerful tearing force ripped the puppets apart the moment they arrived.

Wild beasts, naturally, need to forge ahead without hesitation.

"what?!"

Fariagni was taken aback.

Faria Gni's figure rapidly flew upwards from mid-air, constantly manipulating the puppet to spin like a drill as it continued to shoot towards Emiya Shirou.

Under such circumstances, Shirou Emiya's remaining strength as he soared into the sky was insufficient to catch up with Fariagne, who was constantly flying upwards.

Even if Shirou Emiya's fighting ability was underestimated, Fariagni shouldn't have been hit so easily.

He still has many tricks up his sleeve.

However, Shirou Emiya will not give him the chance to continue using his methods.

Having experienced so many battles, Shirou Emiya naturally understood that if a battle could be resolved as quickly as possible, then it should be resolved as quickly as possible, and the enemy should never have the opportunity to use their trump cards.

Just as the next doll was about to touch Shirou Emiya, the meat grinder-like storm suddenly came to an abrupt halt.

Chapter 228 The Flame-Haired Burning-Eyed Girl

At the very moment Shirou Emiya stopped, the short sword with the iron chain hovered in front of him.

The second item, "Possessed by Evil Spirits," was also assembled instantly.

The terrifying pressure emanating from his body made Shirou Emiya feel a sweet taste in his throat, as if something was about to burst forth like a fountain.

Shirou Emiya's figure slightly shifted in mid-air, and the puppet's attack grazed his body as it fell to the ground.

"Zi La! Zi La!"

If a thunderous sound came from the corner of Shirou Emiya's mouth.

"Sword Breathing: Lightning Form"

With lightning speed, he stepped on the falling doll, the terrifying force instantly creating a powerful air ring in the air.

With the combined power of two forms of [Demon Possession] and Thunder Breathing, Shirou Emiya's speed at that moment was like that of true thunder.
