"Red Archer" didn't wait for the door to open and fired an arrow.

"——Boom!"

The entire elevator shaft was instantly turned into ruins by the explosive demonic power generated by the collapse.

Dust filled the air.

"Hmph."

"Red Archer's" lips curved upwards, and he let out a muffled chuckle.

The dust raised by the explosion gradually dissipated.

He looked at the destroyed, empty elevator shaft, his smile vanishing. After a moment of thought, he turned and ran towards the window.

"Red Archer" squinted, watching the four people desperately running on the bridge, trying to cross it while they had the chance. He raised his great bow, spread his right hand outwards, and began a simple chant:

"I am the bone of my sword."

Another black, twisted Chains of Heaven formed above his right hand. He grasped it, nocked it on the bowstring, and instantly drew it taut.

He first aimed at the four people, then predicted where they would pass next, aiming downwards.

Just as he was about to release the arrow.

Suddenly, a faint movement came from beneath his feet.

"Red Archer" looked down and dodged violently to the side.

The moment he jumped aside, A red, thorny spear, Pierced the floor and stabbed out from downstairs.

"It's you?"

Seeing the spear, "Red Archer" felt it was a bit troublesome and prepared to retreat.

After all, sniping across the entire map was not something the Master had requested. She had only asked him to gather information and eliminate dangers as much as possible.

If it was a Servant wielding this spear, he shouldn't engage them alone without complete confidence.

"No."

"Red Archer" looked at the "spear" being retracted and felt a very familiar sensation, a familiarity... on an essential level.

He dropped his bow and the twin swords, which dissolved into spiritrons before hitting the ground. Immediately after, he projected two twin blades, one black and one white.

These were "Gan Jiang Mo Ye."

He walked to the hole that had appeared earlier and looked down.

The one holding the red spear was not that familiar blue lancer.

It was Ryuguuin Seiya, wearing black clothes and red-patterned formal wear.

"—"

Ryuguuin Seiya looked at the man in red above him and tightened his grip on the "Gae Bolg."

"It's a projection after all?"

"Red Archer" said, then jumped down directly.

"You almost fooled me. Did that brat make a projection for you? I've broken so many of his bones, do you think he still has the energy to help you project? What a stubborn guy."

Ryuguuin Seiya didn't answer, glancing at the group chat.

[Kazuma Satou: "One-third."]

Using the chat group's time-slowing effect, he quickly thought.

The Fuyuki Bridge was 319 meters long. If he ran, it would take about 40 seconds.

But his physical fitness couldn't be used as a reference.

Considering that among these people was a "shut-in" like Mahiro Oyama, whose health was likely below average, the maximum estimate might be over 80 seconds.

In the ideal scenario, he would need to stall for another 50 seconds. In the worst-case scenario, it could be over 80 seconds.

In response, Ryuguuin Seiya's choice was:

—Run.

He raised his hand and threw the miscellaneous items on the nearby office desk.

"Red Archer" cleaved them in half with a single sword strike.

Using this time, he didn't run towards the stairwell but jumped down through the hole he had already made in the floor.

Without any hesitation, After falling, Ryuguuin Seiya rolled once to absorb the impact and immediately ran towards the emergency exit.

But he wasn't running at full speed.

He paid attention to the sounds and movements from above.

If the other party didn't pursue him, he would turn back and continue to harass them. If they did pursue him, he would run as fast as he could.

His primary task now was not to confront the red-clothed mysterious man head-on, but to stall until Kazuma Satou and the others crossed the bridge.

Their team had already lost a life today because they were entangled with this nameless red "Archer" in front of them for an entire day, and their injuries hadn't fully healed yet.

The most important thing now was survival.

"Crack—!"

The sound of glass shattering, "Red Archer" jumped in from outside the building through a shattered window. Before even landing, he threw the two twin swords in his hands towards Ryuguuin Seiya!

"Hmm—"

Ryuguuin Seiya dodged one sword with a sidestep, and at the same time, raised his spear to block the tricky second sword that arrived almost simultaneously.

"Hmph."

"Red Archer" had no intention of communicating and quickly closed the distance, projecting weapons again!

He unleashed a rapid four-hit combo at light speed!

"Bang bang! Bang bang!"

Ryuguuin Seiya used the momentum, spinning his spear to block all the attacks!

"?"

"Red Archer" frowned. He had initially thought the opponent was just for show, but he didn't expect him to actually have some spear skills?

"Hoo—"

Ryuguuin Seiya took a deep breath, quickly chanted, "Swift as the wind, silent as the forest, boil my blood, blaze like fire!"

"Scarlet Blaze!"

The blood in his body began to burn, and a blood-red, frenzied magical power surged through his body.

This was the standard Formal Wear he was assigned!

[Scarlet Blaze (D): Leads the cavalry legion, known as the strongest in the Sengoku period, the famous Sengoku Daimyo of Kai, Takeda Shingen.]

[It is rumored that he fought battles with his army, his momentum like blood and fire.]

[Imitation Noble Phantasm Effect: Gains Magic Output D, releasing a torrent of red magical power to strengthen the entire body. One can also overdraft and burn their own blood tide to further incite magical frenzy.]

"Red Archer" had already fought Ryuguuin Seiya during the day. Seeing the surging blood flames on his body, Instead of retreating, he smiled, closed his eyes in a cool pose, and powerfully released his blue magical power.

The moment "Red Archer" released his magical power, Ryuguuin Seiya seized the opening, turned, and ran, even letting out a mocking laugh.

"Red Archer" raised an eyebrow, bent his knees, and sprang forward like a cannonball in pursuit.

The two chased each other from the 38th floor all the way to the 35th floor.

Ryuguuin Seiya did not engage head-on, only blocking and escaping, but was eventually forced to the window.

"Red Archer" looked at Ryuguuin Seiya, who had nowhere to retreat, and stepped forward to finish him off.

But Ryuguuin Seiya surprised him again.

"Crack—"

He directly smashed through the glass window!

And jumped outside.

?!

"Red Archer" watched this scene, momentarily stunned for half a second.

He was human. Wouldn't jumping from here be suicide?

"Red Archer" came to the window and looked down.

He saw Ryuguuin sticking the tip of his spear into the wall, creating sparks, —With blood flames all over his body, he was running rapidly along the wall of the dozens of meters high building!

[A-Xiu: "My god, what's the art style of this team?"]

[Conan: "...What kind of high school student is this?"]

[Tadakuni: "It's hard to imagine he's around my age."]

[Gokou Ruri: "Isn't this some professional stunt double?"]

Shendu: "I remembered an old friend."

Rasu: "He's practically a superhero."

Red Archer didn't seem surprised. They projected a bow again, aimed at Ryuguuin Seiya, and unleashed a barrage of Chains of Heaven.

Explosions rang out from the building.

Ryuguuin Seiya displayed incredible footwork, but his opponent's archery was no ordinary skill, otherwise, they wouldn't have cornered everyone so effectively.

Red Archer's initial arrows had merely forced his movement.

Then, three arrows arrived almost simultaneously, completely sealing off Ryuguuin's escape routes on that floor.

Even if he shattered a window and jumped inside, he'd likely be blown to pieces on the spot.

Ryuguuin Seiya pulled out his spear, infused his legs with crimson magic, and leaped forward.

"Are you looking to die?"

Red Archer, faced with such an easy-to-hit aerial target and this suicidal act, didn't attack immediately.

Falling from that height was almost certain death.

Even with magic reinforcing his body, he wouldn't emerge unscathed.

Ryuguuin Seiya looked at the ground, a bead of sweat forming on his forehead. To avoid being sniped, he had to pretend he had no way to land.

He watched the ground rapidly approach, suppressing his instinctual fear.

10 meters, Not enough.

8 meters, The opponent still had time to react.

5 meters,
