Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

However, the sword wielded by the Broken Blade was not a Noble Phantasm, but merely an ordinary sword with a relatively high level of forging, and he did not possess the truly inexhaustible blade of the Great Hero.

It's just an avatar; it can be resurrected infinitely even if it's destroyed. It's not worth the cost of all those swords and blades.

As Bad Blade watched his sword being consumed at an alarming rate, he pondered this in his mind.

The force of the release gradually slowed down, but before the terrifying beam of light could engulf him, he was still trapped inside.

Emiya Shirou suddenly aimed his greatsword at the ground and hurled it.

“Aa ...

The dangling blade suddenly collapsed to the ground, emitting a violent wail.

The terrifying red beam pierced through the ground and struck the Crimson World Demon Lord named Shabulak.

A mud-like creature composed of dark red flames, approximately 10 kilometers in diameter, hidden beneath the city.

The intense pain caused the monstrous blade, its embodiment, to wail wildly. In just a few seconds, the blade transformed into a red flame and vanished from its spot.

When Shirou Emiya unleashed his Noble Phantasm, he did not intend to destroy the embodiment of the Broken Blade. If the beam of light were to pass through the Broken Blade's body and directly hit the town, countless innocent people would die.

Therefore, he needed someone to block the beam of light he released, and the rushing Bad Blade was naturally the best choice.

Shirou Emiya wasn't sure if the Blade was dead, but as the old voice had said, his attack had indeed damaged the Blade's body.

Just from that vanished avatar, one could sense that the Blade had suffered severe damage.

As for continuing to release it and resolving it, I'm afraid I no longer have the power to do so.

Emiya Shirou couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"Well--!"

With a painful groan from Shirou Emiya, the crimson beam of light faded away at a visible speed, quickly turning into nothingness, and its immense power dissipated like a whirlwind.

Shirou Emiya stood there, swaying unsteadily, and struggled to plant his greatsword into the ground before kneeling down on one knee, his face pale and panting heavily.

Not only was blood gushing out of the wound in his abdomen, but Shirou Emiya was also soaked in blood all over his body. His skin was ulcerated, and in some places, you could even see the bare bones.

This is the price to pay for using two [Haunted] items.

Shirou Emiya's aura became extremely weak, as if he were about to die at any moment.

With his magic power exhausted, Shirou Emiya was unable to continue fighting.

“Is this the price?”

Shudenan sheathed the divine spear in his hand and appeared in front of Emiya Shirou as a phantom.

The more magnificent and intense the previous battle was, the more terrifying and horrifying Shirou Emiya's injuries were at this moment.

"The Lost Child of Zero Hour!?"

It was at that moment, standing in front of Shirou Emiya, that Shuten discovered the treasure they had been searching for—the Lost Child of Zero.

It lay there peacefully in front of Shirou Emiya, emitting a faint blue light.

Chapter 259 Death (Revised)

"What exactly happened here?"

When Shana arrived, her pupils contracted as she looked at the rubble scattered on the ground. Her face was filled with astonishment; she had never seen such a mess before.

The entire neighborhood was completely destroyed, with endless flames burning everything.

The ground radiated unbearable heat.

There was not a single living creature to be seen on the entire street.

As if by natural disaster, nothing remained here.

"That's really surprising!"

The books flying past Marjorie also sighed. Marcosias, who had lived for a long time, was not unfamiliar with such scenes, but they were maintained by the many Flame Haze warriors.

With the advancement of global technology, such a thing has not happened for a very, very long time.

Nearly one-tenth of the urban area was destroyed, a situation that hasn't occurred in almost a century, with such a large number of people dying.

"Emiya Shirou!"

In the vast ruins, Shana easily spotted the man in a suit, holding a sharpshooter, standing at the edge of the ruins in front of a building.

In front of that man lay Shirou Emiya, his body now completely gray, motionless and offering no resistance.

"So, this human's name is Emiya Shirou? I'll remember his name."

Hearing the noise behind him, Xiu Denan put away the divine spear in his hand, squatted down, and then slowly stood up and turned around.

He was holding a crimson knight's sword in one hand, wearing a blue ring, and in the other hand he was holding a chain with a light blue gear-like pendant and two short swords attached to chains, looking in Shana's direction.

"You could say it was a very fruitful experience, wouldn't you say?"

A smile appeared on Xiu Denan's lips, and the object in his hand quickly disappeared and was put away.

Seeing this scene, Shana couldn't help but feel a surge of anger, and the Nite-dono Shōna in her hand was wreathed in blazing flames.

His body moved forward, as if he would rush forward at any moment.

"Calm down, Shana!"

A steady voice came from in front of Shana.

"Don't be impulsive! Shirou Emiya is still over there!"

Upon hearing Alastor's voice, Shana abruptly stopped. Indeed, the most important thing now was to save Shirou Emiya.

We've already come this far; we can't act impulsively!

Shana suppressed her anger.

She didn't know why she was so angry; perhaps it was because she had seen the horrific scene of the entire street being destroyed.

"Do you want to save this human?"

Seeing that Shana had stopped what she was doing, Xiudenan asked her with a smile.

However, without Shana needing to answer, Shudnan naturally knew that her purpose was to save the human behind him.

Oh, no, we shouldn't call them human. With such strength, they are worthy of respect from Xiudenan and will be remembered in his heart.

“That human, no, Shirou Emiya, I cannot allow him to live.”

Seeing Shana's reckless actions, Shudenan shook his head. If Shana, who could copy Noble Phantasms, were released, who knows how many more outrageous Noble Phantasms would be created, and how much the Flame Haze would be enhanced.

What's more, he killed Fariagni right in front of him.

In any case, Shutokunan would never let Emiya Shirou go back.

Before Shana could speak, a murky purple flame erupted from beneath Shirou Emiya's feet and enveloped him at an incredible speed.

In the blink of an eye, Shirou Emiya, who was kneeling on one knee, was completely engulfed by flames, leaving not even a corpse behind.

"you!!!!"

Shana's aura began to surge uncontrollably, and flames erupted from her body in bursts. The intense heat caused Margery, who was standing next to her, to unconsciously step back.

She didn't know why she was so angry. Was it because Shirou Emiya was dead?

He was just a human being, someone insignificant to the world.

Shana had witnessed countless humans being killed by phosphorus and Crimson Denizens, but she had never felt such anger.

She thought she had long been accustomed to seeing through human death and could face it with equanimity.

She didn't understand why she was so angry, why a feeling of sadness welled up inside her.

They only spent half a day together.

He was clearly just an insignificant person to the world.

He was clearly just someone who knew nothing about the Crimson World.

Perhaps Shana doesn't fully understand the meaning of "partner".

If it were a stranger's suggestion, or the advice of an unfamiliar Flame Haze warrior, it wouldn't stop her from fighting the Torch and saving the city.

The reason Shirou Emiya was able to persuade Shana was because she had already accepted him in her heart. A normal Flame Haze would never stop because of such a suggestion.

For Flame Haze warriors, the torch is merely a tool; in fact, many Flame Haze warriors will directly extract power from the torch to replenish their own existence.

Marjorie is one of the Flame Haze warriors who frequently uses the power of the torch to replenish her strength.

Not to mention Rami, who makes a living by torchlighting.

In their eyes, the torch is not even a life.

"boom----!"

A short sword with an iron chain appeared in Shana's hand, and a suit of armor quickly covered her entire body.

Accompanied by an incredibly intense heat surrounding her, Shana suddenly stomped on the ground, and wings wreathed in flames unfurled from behind her.

Shana drew an incredibly hot trail through the air with the Zhe Dian Zhe Na in her hand, and transformed into a fiery red firebird, shooting towards Xiu De Nan with a whooshing cry.

"The Law of Freedom? It must be dead. Oh well, getting the Zero Hour Lost Child is a gain in itself."

Shudenan didn't seem to care about Shana rushing towards him; instead, he was frowning and thinking about something.

At the moment he unleashed his flames to engulf Shirou Emiya, he sensed a fluctuation emanating from Shirou Emiya, seemingly the casting of some kind of magic.

However, he didn't know what kind of magic Shirou Emiya possessed. Being engulfed by such flames, there shouldn't be any magic other than Azure that could withstand it.

And Azure is now in his own hands.

But Emiya Shirou has indeed disappeared.

Thinking of this, Shudenan didn't have too much to worry about. Whether Emiya Shirou was alive or dead, he had already disappeared, so if he was dead, he naturally didn't need to worry.

If Shirou Emiya is still alive, then he doesn't need to worry, because he currently has no way to find Shirou Emiya's location.

"call out--!"

A scorching heat passed by Xiudenan.
