Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

The terrifying force sent Shirou Emiya flying.

Edelweiss made not a sound during his entire operation. If Shirou Emiya hadn't possessed exceptional dynamic vision, he would have had no chance of noticing Edelweiss's movements.

Her movements were so perfect that no sound was produced due to the dispersion of her strength; such movements were beyond human comprehension.

"So strong!!!"

Shirou Emiya, who was flying backwards in the air, quickly stabilized himself, his greatsword firmly planted in the ground, and he slid backwards. At the same time, a set of armor was also covered Shirou Emiya's body.

Before he could even stop sliding backward, a golden bow appeared in Shirou Emiya's hand once more, and several katana blades crackled with golden lightning, tearing through the air and hurtling toward the white figure with unparalleled speed.

This is Toudou Touka's weapon, which contains extremely terrifying lightning power.

But it was no use; the figure didn't even try to dodge.

The two pristine white swords swung at a speed completely invisible to ordinary people. In the blink of an eye, the lightning-laden sword arrows were knocked down and fell helplessly to the ground.

"Fantasy shattered!!!"

A terrifying explosion, accompanied by violent lightning, erupted beside Edelweiss, and golden lightning, carrying an all-consuming force, swept towards her.

This terrifying lightning is something even the Black Iron King Horse would find difficult to withstand.

"Whoosh—!"

"If that's all you're capable of, then you'll only fail here."

A cold voice rang out from her lips, and the lightning that erupted in all directions was extinguished by the swords at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Even the explosions went to the side of her.

This level of attack has no effect on her at all.

The next second, Edelweiss disappeared from the spot.

"!"

Emiya Shirou focused his mind intently, his eyes scanning his surroundings, and two reverse blades appeared in his hands.

Feel it with your heart, and see it with your eyes!

It's impossible for a sound to completely disappear, and it's impossible for a physical form to simply vanish!

"there!"

Suddenly, Shirou Emiya turned around and swung his twin swords to the side.

"Qiang——!"

The four weapons collided, and a violent collision, accompanied by sparks, erupted on the street.

"Not bad!"

Edelweiss praised Shirou Emiya's performance, seemingly quite surprised that he was able to block her attack.

Immediately afterwards, Edelweiss's arm jerked violently, and the force on the white twin swords in his hand suddenly increased.

With immense force, it knocked the two reverse blades from Shirou Emiya's hands away and slashed towards Shirou Emiya's chest.

"Qiang————!"

At that critical moment, Shirou Emiya once again projected two reverse blades in front of him, but the terrifying force from the two swords sent him flying again.

"boom----!"

The powerful impact sent Shirou Emiya crashing into the wall of a nearby building like a cannonball, making a loud noise.

Spiderweb-like cracks appear on the wall, centered around Shirou Emiya.

"As expected of the world's strongest swordsman!"

Emiya Shirou climbed down from the wall, gripping his twin swords tightly. He looked at Edelweiss, who exuded an indescribable oppressive aura, with no sign of retreat in his eyes.

Although Edelweiss couldn't see Shirou Emiya's eyes through his armor, she could sense the fighting spirit emanating from him.

Even in this hopeless situation, Shirou Emiya had no intention of leaving.

"continue--!"

Edelweiss looked at Shirou Emiya with extreme indifference, then disappeared from the spot once again, gripping his twin swords.

"call--!!"

Emiya Shirou gripped the katana tightly in his hand, surrounded by a swirling turbulence. The violent wind howled across the entire street, producing an extremely piercing sound.

Even under such strong winds, no matter how well Edelweiss could move silently, Shirou Emiya could still sense her location.

"Qiang————!"

In his other hand, Shirou Emiya gripped a rapier shaped like a cross, deflecting the sudden, powerful slash.

He retreated with difficulty, staring at Edelweiss, whose eyes revealed no emotion.

Chapter 336 Reflection

"Why? Why am I able to read the techniques within the sword?"

"Why? Why is it that only a sword can I project so easily?"

"And why? Why am I so special?"

"call out----!"

A flawless white sword sliced ​​through the air, instantly transforming into an extremely dazzling light, as gentle and holy as a feather drifting down from the sky. This was because the speed was so fast that the naked eye could not keep up, making it seem like an incredibly slow strike.

Edelweiss appeared in front of Shirou Emiya as if he had teleported, deflecting his two swords with just one, and gripping the white sword tightly in his other hand, mercilessly slashing down at him from above.

The resistance of the gale once again proved exceptionally weak; the goddess's abundant blessings were powerless against such absolute oppression.

The fact that he was weakened by one level is unlikely to affect the acquisition of Edelweiss.

Even the fact that the stones on the ground shot towards Edelweiss's eyes due to luck could not stop such a slash.

As the pure white sword light slashed down toward his cheek, crimson lightning erupted from his body.

Blood gushed out of Shirou Emiya's shoulder like a stream.

The two demon-possessed defenses barely withstood the slash.

"I'm clearly better at using a bow than a sword, aren't I?"

Emiya Shirou, wielding a wooden sword in his own backyard, couldn't understand why, no matter how hard he tried, his progress in swordsmanship was always incredibly slow.

Without projecting Arthur's sword, Shirou Emiya would find it difficult to understand how the slashing technique was achieved.

He found it difficult to exclude projection magic and comprehend other people's swordsmanship on his own.

Despite having no talent in kendo, he was able to acquire other people's kendo skills through cheating.

Even Tohsaka didn't know how to explain this.

The fact that projection magic can project Noble Phantasms and make them exist permanently is enough to shock the entire magic world.

Rin Tohsaka doesn't even understand why Shirou Emiya's projection magic can exist indefinitely, so how can she possibly explore deeper topics?

"Ding! Ding! Ding!"

The instant the sound of metal clashing rang out, sparks flew from the greatsword, causing the powerful energy to spread again and creating a chaotic surge of energy.

As Shirou Emiya retreated, he struggled to deflect the relentless attacks that shimmered with pure white light using the Radiant King Sword and the Kurogane King's katana, his wounds multiplying at an alarming rate.

"!"

A smear of blood stained the pristine white clothes.

Edelweiss looked at his injured right arm, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

At this moment, Shirou Emiya was holding two pure white swords in his hands, identical to those of Edelweiss.

For almost a month, Shirou Emiya trained under the constant projection of Toudou Touka's weapon.

He was able to use a technique called "Treading" with great difficulty without projection.

In that instant, given Edelweiss's own swordsmanship and skills, he actually didn't react in time to use [Stealth] to get close to Shirou Emiya as he swung his sword.

Emiya Shirou, having landed a successful blow, did not stop his actions but quickly moved closer to Edelweiss and slashed again.

However, she found an opening with remarkable precision and knocked Shirou Emiya away with two sword strikes.

"Hoo, ha! Hoo, ha!"

Shirou Emiya, his entire body stained with blood, plunged his twin swords into the ground and used his extremely rhythmic breathing to stop the bleeding, staring intently at Edelweiss in front of him.

Emiya Shirou did not want to use the exact same sword technique in front of the original owner. After all, no matter how well Emiya Shirou could use this sword technique, he was not as familiar with it as the original owner.

He is not like Kurogane Ikki, who can improve upon the sword techniques he has learned, making them more suitable for himself, and even unleashing greater power than the original user.

The swordsmanship that Emiya Shirou uses will only be the original owner's swordsmanship, without any changes whatsoever. Any changes would require continuous training and understanding.

Such an identical sword technique would be easily countered by someone more familiar with it.

The battle between Shirou Emiya and Edelweiss was a clear-cut example of this.

She simply didn't react in time, and then easily repelled Emiya Shirou.

"What is the meaning of the sword to me?"

Sitting in the courtyard, Shirou Emiya gazed at the stars in the sky, lost in thought.

Is it a simple way to exert power?

Is it still that kind of unearned gain?

Thinking of those who train hard in swordsmanship, Shirou Emiya felt a pang of unease. Was it a bit unfair that he could directly acquire the swordsmanship skills of others?

But what does the sword truly mean to him?

"boom----!"

Emiya Shirou gritted his teeth, stomped his foot hard on the ground, and charged towards Edelweiss, gripping his weapon tightly.

"Sizzle—!"
