Chapter 131

Shirou placed the drill-like sword on the black longbow, where it grew slender as red and blue magical energy swirled around it.

His Projection Magic is merely a byproduct of Unlimited Blade Works.

Reciting it aloud is merely to reinforce the suggestion to oneself, thereby making the magic flow more smoothly.

The more powerful the Noble Phantasms is, the more verses need to be chanted.

For a pseudo- Spiral Sword, only one incantation is needed, and... True Name Release.

"—Pseudo- Spiral Sword!"

As Shirou uttered the name of the pseudo- Spiral Sword, blue magic gathered, and then Shirou released the bowstring and launched it.

The pseudo- Spiral Sword flew straight toward the spot Shirou was aiming at, leaving a long blue trail behind it.

Many people in Lungmen witnessed this scene.

A blue streak flashed across the sky, as if splitting the night sky in two.

"It seems like a pretty good weapon, but how come it's flying in the sky?"

On the street, I noticed it very early on.

At first, she simply sensed that a very powerful weapon had appeared nearby, so she abandoned her half-eaten hotpot and went out into the street to look in the direction from which the feeling came from.

She could tell it was a weapon with a very long history.

I just don't know why it's flying in the sky, and the distance it flies seems to be quite long.

"What is that?"

Inside the Penguin Logistics building, the Emperor, who was keeping an eye on Shirou and Isv's progress, naturally witnessed this scene.

Although I don't understand it, it seems pretty impressive, so at least the money wasn't wasted.

He wasn't worried about the situation there; Isv trusted Is quite a bit, and he was confident that if anything went wrong, he could fix it.

Moreover, this is also an opportunity to witness Shirou's strength firsthand.

However, he sensed a subtle feeling from the conversation.

I have a feeling that something terrible is going to happen soon, and he might not be able to enjoy his red wine in peace today.

"This is... a sorcerer?"

Chen was puzzled when Shirou recited two sentences that were not clear in meaning.

Then I saw something in the distance, flying straight towards me.

At that moment, Chen suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

"... Lie down! Everyone lie down!"

Based on what Shirou had said earlier, Chen immediately ordered all team members to lie down on the ground.

In what situations would someone need to find cover?

It's only needed when firepower is difficult to control!

Although she didn't know what Shirou had just said, her intuition told her that something dangerous was about to happen.

As Chen lay prone on the ground, the pseudo- Spiral Sword arrived at the position Shirou desired.

"Imaginary Break—!"

Since there was nothing to touch it, Shirou chose to detonate it directly.

Leaning against the cover, Chen could clearly feel something drawing the surrounding air towards it, followed by a flash of light, then a huge sound and a strong blast of air pressing down from above.

A large amount of sand and dust was blown up by the strong wind, and at this moment Chen had only one thought.

"* Longmen Curses * Do all the guys at Penguin Logistics really like explosions?"

Chen's voice was quite loud, but it still couldn't drown out the sound of the explosion.

Even if she managed to suppress the sound of the explosion, at this moment, apart from Shirou and Isv, no one else could hear it.

And they were directly below, strictly speaking, among the most recent batch besides the drones.

Fortunately, there aren't many people in this area, but after today, there might be even fewer people in this area.

"What the hell is that thing?"

Without needing to rely on drone footage, Isv, located far away in the city, saw the scene unfolding directly from his window.

How can I describe it...? The biggest fireworks display in Lungmen's history?

No, no, no, this looks very bad no matter how you look at it!

I didn't tell you to set off such huge fireworks! If you keep doing this, Penguin Logistics will be under the watchful eye of the Knights of the Round Table for quite some time to come!

Isv let out a mournful cry of having to work overtime.

"Brilliant! They really struck gold! With this trick, I can put on a grand concert anytime."

Watching the magnificent fireworks, the Emperor happily took a sip of red wine.

Let's have a few more sips now, because someone will be coming to our door soon, and then we won't be in the mood for drinking anymore.

"Oh dear, which bastard is so wasteful? Using such a fine weapon as a consumable."

Seeing the enormous fireworks that illuminated almost half of Lungmen, Nian felt that the other party had wasted their time.

For her, forging a weapon requires the efforts of many people, especially a weapon that is quite old, which may contain lost techniques.

Although she doesn't need it, there will definitely be others who want it.

She simply felt it was a pity.

"Forget it, let's just go back and eat hot pot. Hopefully, the staff hasn't cleaned up yet."

Everything I wanted to see was blown up, so naturally I lost interest.

It's not as interesting as her extra spicy hot pot.

"Trace on─"

Although Shirou's side destroyed most of the drones with the pseudo- Spiral Sword, a few still managed to escape.

The area was filled with a lot of smoke, partly caused by drones destroyed by the Imaginary Break. In the smoke, Shirou could vaguely see several blurry black figures moving around.

The arrows, imbued with crimson magical light, shot out one after another, slicing through the night sky Lungmen time and time again.

Each shot pierced through the smoke and hit the flying drone with precision.

The Projection of the pseudo- Spiral Sword and the Imaginary Break alone drained most of Shirou's magic power.

This isn't just true for him; Archer himself would feel the same way.

The remaining magic power is enough to Projection arrows and clear out the small fry; at least it won't run out of magic power like it did a few days ago.

"Don't stand there! Quickly move inwards and surround the drone in the direction it took off!"

Chen, who had recovered slightly in the distance, gave loud commands.

She had to speak loudly; her ears were still ringing. Her physical strength was already quite good, and if she was like this, what about others?

These people had followed Chen on many missions, and even without verbal commands, they could understand what to do through Chen's body language.

Her cell phone and communicator kept ringing, but she didn't notice because she was focused on what was in front of her.

"Emi... the red one, did the drones on it clear everything out?"

After recovering slightly, Chen turned the volume of his headphones up to the maximum and asked Shirou a question.

What just happened was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. Chen almost shouted out Shirou's name, but fortunately he only said two syllables before immediately correcting himself.

"It's almost cleaned up, but there might still be some blind spots, so please keep a close eye on them."

At this moment, Shirou stopped firing and instead drew his bow to aim, ready to destroy any drones that flew out immediately.

Although he can see far, there are still blind spots in his field of vision.

From preparing to Projection the pseudo -Spiral Sword to destroying most of the drones, Shirou took less than a minute.

His speed was still a bit slow, allowing several of them to hide.

However, these are not the main points.

The Hooded Figure... seemed to have called out his name?

It can't be his imagination, right?

He was hallucinating because he had used up too much magic, right?

Leave application for 11/8

This is a leave request form.

Due to some unexpected factors, I can no longer sit in a chair for long periods of time; even lying down or walking causes me pain.

To put it simply... I accidentally slit my egg with scissors.

A subtle sadness.

I also adjusted my sleep schedule. Yesterday I slept from 11 pm to 5 am, but I still wanted to sleep but couldn't, which made me feel very tired all day.

I'll go to bed early tonight and try to get my sleep schedule back on track. I'll try to post the chapter this afternoon.

In addition, many people mentioned the issue of magic in the previous chapter.

I think the self-designed version is reasonable.

After all, the only appearances of the Pseudo. Spiral Sword so far are Red A himself using it and Miyu using it at close range, and the only major appearance is when it was used against Berserker.

In FGO or when Miyu uses it, it is used on a relatively small scale, and the mana consumption is relatively low.

That's all for now, I'm going to lie down in bed, this is really a pain in my ass.

136 Keep it up!

Once it was confirmed by Isv that all the drones had been destroyed, there was nothing more for Shirou to do here.

The rest was left to the Hooded Figure over there. Although Shirou didn't know who the other party was, he was at least certain that they were from the Knights of the Round Table.

He was starting to panic because the other person seemed to have called out his name.

That means the other party may already know who he is, and he just seemed to have set off a huge firework over Lungmen. Although it was Isv who allowed him to set it off, I just vaguely heard a mournful sound coming from the headset.

Shirou felt he should run away.

But his sense of responsibility made him choose to stay where he was, watching the Hooded Figure and his team as they carried out their mission.

They only felt relieved after confirming that the other party had arrested the person and began to consider the possibility of fleeing.

"Shirou, it's time to slip away."

Just as Shirou was hesitating, Isv suddenly spoke.

"Uh... name..."

Upon hearing Isv's words, Shirou initially wanted to remind Is that Isv had let something slip, but then thought it didn't really matter.

"I've already cut off the channel, and we've caught everyone. They don't need us anymore. Now we just need to wait for the Knights of the Round Table to get useful information."

Although he had already guessed that the other party had obtained information about Shirou, Isv still made a blunt statement, leaving Shirou with a final sliver of room to maneuver.

Let Emiya indulge in such a lucky mentality for a while! Until Sir Chen comes to the door and drowns him directly.

He's not some kind of demon, but Shirou's actions just now have made his overtime work for the next few days a foregone conclusion.

Although he said it was okay to make a lot of noise, he only said a little bit!

Shirou directly demonstrated what "a few hundred million" means.

It felt good when they blew it up, but they'll have to clean up the mess afterwards!

Is Shirou 'Isv irresponsibility, but verbally reminded Shirou to make a quick getaway, otherwise Shirou would be in trouble when the major powers of Lungmen came knocking.

By sneaking back first, at least Penguin Logistics can withstand the pressure. I believe the boss already knows. Although he hasn't said it explicitly, Isv knows that the boss is quite protective of his own.
