Emiya Shirou doesn't want to work overtime

Sparks flew out of the flintlock pistol in her hand without warning.

This time, the bullet casing wouldn't graz Shirou Emiya's cheek; if he still didn't dodge, the bullet would pierce his chest with deadly accuracy.

"Qiang!"

With a crisp sound, Shirou Emiya instantly produced a black and a white pistol in his hand, and with a swift swing, deflected the bullet that was aimed at his chest.

"Good skill!"

The woman with cherry-blossom hair exclaimed in admiration, but her hands did not stop moving at all.

"Bang bang bang bang bang--!"

Amidst the continuous gunfire, countless flames erupted from the muzzles of the two guns in her hands.

The flintlock pistol, which could only fire one bullet at a time, became like the semi-automatic pistol used by Shirou Emiya when loaded with magic.

It can fire bullets one after another in a very short time, raining them down on Shirou Emiya.

The female figure with the Rider class also sped towards Shirou Emiya at an extremely fast speed.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!"

At that very moment, countless tongues of fire shot out from in front of Shirou Emiya, and the same gunfire rang out continuously.

The bullets fired from the black and white pistols collided precisely with the pellets fired from the flintlock pistol.

“Clang clang clang clang clang clang!!!”

Numerous sounds of collisions rang out in front of the woman with cherry-blossom hair, and an indescribable sense of crisis emanated from her.

The bullets that collided with each other ricocheted, bouncing continuously across the not-so-open cliff face.

These bullets and marbles seemed to defy the laws of nature, constantly meeting in the air and bouncing apart amidst a series of impacts and the flying sparks.

Under such circumstances, the incoming bullets and the marbles he fired rapidly intertwined around him, creating a barrage of bullets that completely surrounded him.

This was a skill she had never imagined or seen before; bullets could actually form such a fire network.

Chapter 544 The Heroic Figure in the Battle

The entire rocky ground, the cliffs, and the bullets that were already in the process of being ejected all became targets for Emiya Shirou's bullets.

At that very moment, the bullets that were ejected were like a storm, completely engulfing the cherry blossom-haired woman who was in the eye of the storm.

Even if the naked eye could keep up with the speed of a bullet, it would be difficult to judge its trajectory and almost impossible to know the exact path of its attack.

Faced with such an attack that completely envelops a person like a barrage of bullets, they would almost instantly be pierced through like a sieve, lose their life, and fall to the ground without any surprise.

However, faced with this attack, which was even more terrifying than a torrential rain, the cherry-haired woman showed no panic whatsoever; instead, she let out a hearty laugh.

"That's truly terrifying technology! But if that's all there is to it, then you're seriously underestimating me as a Servant!!!"

Indeed, faced with an attack that unfolded almost instantly and enveloped her, she had virtually no way to escape, given her own skill level.

Compared to direct combat, command is what I'm better at.

But this doesn't mean that she had no way to deal with the shooting surrounding her.

Moreover, as a Servant, she also possesses a certain degree of magical resistance, so the damage these bullets made of magical energy can cause to her is extremely limited.

She can even ignore some of Shirou Emiya's shots and launch attacks directly.

However, since Shirou Emiya, a magician, had shown her a heroic spirit and displayed skills she had never seen before, how could she not take it seriously with all her might?

Her confident and dashing smile never wavered, as if she didn't care at all about the bullets that kept intertwining, turning into a net, and becoming a storm of bullets.

Without pausing, the woman with cherry-blossom hair stomped her right foot on the ground, raised her flintlock pistol, aimed it at Shirou Emiya again, and sped away.

"Snap—! Snap—! Snap—! Snap—!"

At the very moment she stomped her foot hard on the ground, several sounds, like the loading of some kind of weapon, rang out from the surrounding space.

At that moment, a massive cannon floated up from behind her, aimed at her front, at the position of Shirou Emiya.

The next second————

"Bang—! Bang—! Bang—! Bang—!"

Amidst the deafening roar of artillery fire, Shinji Matou, standing behind those gun emplacements, couldn't help but cover his ears.

A beam of light, like a laser, was aimed at Shirou Emiya as the cannon fire poured out.

Under this intense barrage of fire, the bullets that flew towards her from all directions instantly turned to ashes, dissipating into pure magic in the air.

These bullet-heavy barrages lasted only a few seconds before being mercilessly destroyed by her terrifying artillery fire.

Faced with the surging bombardment, Shirou Emiya suddenly stepped back, turning his head slightly to the side. The scorching breath grazed his face and struck the cliff not far behind him.

"Boom—! Boom—! Boom—! Boom—!"

Several booming sounds rang out from behind Shirou Emiya at that moment, accompanied by a powerful impact, and countless pieces of rubble instantly exploded out, engulfing the entire battlefield.

But at this moment, Shirou Emiya had no mind to pay attention to the rubble flying towards him.

The evil spirits had somehow enveloped his entire body.

The figure of the cherry-haired woman who had stormed over also appeared beside Emiya Shirou.

Emiya Shirou immediately pointed his gun at the cherry-haired woman.

The black and white pistols and the two identical flintlock muskets in the dark cave entrance instantly confronted each other.

"Bang----!!!!"

The gunshots from the four weapons merged into one at that moment.

The scorching flames and the powerful impact exploded between the two in an instant.

However, the two did not pause at all during the collision of bullets.

"Bang bang—!"

The cherry-haired woman, on the offensive, took the initiative, quickly turning her flintlock pistol slightly to the side. Without any hesitation, she pulled the trigger, sending the bullet flying.

"Bang bang—!"

The moment he saw her slightly shift the flintlock pistol in her hand, Shirou Emiya reacted swiftly and fired almost simultaneously.

The two bullets that erupted from the black and white pistols simultaneously shot towards the cherry-haired woman.

"Clang clang—!"

Faced with the incoming projectiles, the two pistols in his hands transformed into blades at that moment.

Amidst the clanging of metal, the incoming marble was violently deflected by Shirou Emiya.

"Clang clang—!"

At the same moment, a collision sound came from in front of Shirou Emiya.

The cherry-haired woman, known as Rider, skillfully twirled the flintlock pistol in her hand, easily deflecting the bullet fired by Shirou Emiya with the handle.

"1"

A number suddenly appeared before the three people present.

They naturally understood perfectly what this number meant.

This is a system notification; in its assessment, the first round of the private duel has ended.

If a private duel lasts for three rounds, the system will forcibly end the battle.

Of course, battles don't necessarily have to last three rounds; ending them early is perfectly acceptable. However, if a battle lasts for three rounds, the system will forcibly terminate it.

However, this number did not have any impact on those present.

The cherry-haired woman smiled, gripped her flintlock pistol tightly, stomped the ground, and charged towards Shirou Emiya once more.

Emiya Shirou also gripped his twin guns, one black and one white, aiming them at the cherry-haired woman who was shooting at him.

However, just as Shirou Emiya was about to fire, the sound of reloading came from his side, in front of the spot where Shinji Matou had been standing.

The suspended turrets seemed to be reloaded with ammunition once again, and a sense of threat emanated from their dark muzzles.

The positions of those turrets have also changed; they are no longer simply suspended in the air firing straight ahead.

"Bang—! Bang—! Bang—! Bang—!"

At the very moment the sound of gunfire rang out, a crisp voice, carrying a hint of warning, came from in front of Shirou Emiya.

"Kid, compared to that threat in the distance, I'm a much bigger threat, aren't I?!"

Suddenly, the cherry-haired woman who had been standing some distance away appeared in front of Shirou Emiya, the muzzle of her gun pressed against his abdomen, and she quickly pulled the trigger.

Chapter 545 The End of the Encounter

"Snapped--!"

At the very moment the cherry-haired woman pulled the trigger, Shirou Emiya swiftly slapped her away.

The marble grazed his armor, leaving a lingering smell of gunpowder.

This is a basic course in the Tokyo Armed Detective High School's Assault Division, teaching you how to stop an enemy from pulling the trigger as quickly as possible and minimize the damage you suffer when faced with a gun pointed at you.

These courses all require assessment at school, but when faced with these basic courses in the Assault Department, Shirou Emiya lived up to his S-rank Armed Detective title, getting almost full marks after studying them for a while.

The moment he saw the cherry-haired woman pull the trigger, Shirou Emiya instinctively slapped her hand away.

Even at such close range, her bullets had little chance of penetrating the [Possessed by Evil Spirits] defense.

However, Shirou Emiya is not facing those students from Tokyo Butei High School who are still in high school, but a seasoned veteran who has even become a Heroic Spirit.

Indeed, she knew deep down that her greatest strength was command, but if her own abilities were not strong enough, how could she control her subordinates who had different personalities?

In such a battle, Shirou Emiya would never miss the slightest opportunity to launch an attack.

"!"

The cherry-haired woman's pupils contracted sharply at that moment.
