Liudong Temple exploded.
The main part was blown directly into the sky, and the surrounding woods were also affected to some extent.
"this......"
Standing on the mountainside, Emiya Shirou looked up at this scene with cold sweat on his face.
It really exploded...
Since childhood, I have been visiting Ryudong Temple every New Year. Now, because of that damn Assassin, it was directly bombed...
"Due to the explosion, the previously installed camera was also destroyed...Mr. Saber, can you still feel the magical atmosphere in it?"
Matou Shinji has always remained calm.
Annuo's perception ability is not strong, but the current distance is not too far.
but......
After closing his eyes and feeling for a moment, Annuo shook his head.
“I can’t feel it clearly.”
There was a chaotic atmosphere in the temple, and Annuo couldn't feel any specific atmosphere.
"...let's go up and have a look."
After thinking for a moment, Emiya Shirou said directly.
"Well......"
Liu Dongyi Cheng, who was lying behind the two of them, frowned.
All the monks and people except Liudong Yisheng were sent to the foot of the mountain by Annuo, leaving only Liudong Yisheng beside him.
In a daze, he opened his eyes a little, and all he saw was that someone seemed to be running up the mountain.
As for that back view...
yes......
Emiya?
.......
Looking at the ruins in front of him, Emiya Shirou felt his head hurt.
"Well......"
Covering his head, Emiya Shirou's expression turned a little painful.
The scene in front of him... made him involuntarily think of what he saw when he was a child.
No, you shouldn't think about those things now... Now that everyone in the temple has successfully evacuated, the only person left here is Assassin.
Shuten Doji... Such monsters and evil spirits that exist in myths and legends have appeared in reality... To be honest, even now, Shirou Emiya feels this.
Somewhat magical.
A faint purple mist still filled the ruins of the temple, and Emiya Shirou covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves - although he didn't know if it would be useful, it would provide some psychological comfort.
After walking forward for a while, Shirou Emiya's mood involuntarily sank a little.
Shuten Doji... is probably still alive.
The closer you get to the center, the thicker the black-purple mist becomes. If Shuten Doji had already left, this place would definitely not look like this now.
Suddenly——
Emiya Shirou felt an extremely cold feeling.
He seemed to be being targeted by some ferocious beast.
Perhaps out of instinct, he subconsciously took a step back, fell to the ground and rolled away——
Ping——!!!
A sword was inserted into the position where Shirou Emiya was standing just now.
"Saber-that position!!!"
Reluctantly getting up from the ground, Emiya Shirou shouted.
Anno's sword was already covered in glow, and he slashed directly in the direction pointed by Shirou Emiya.
call--
The sword light was blocked.
boom!!!
The silver-white sword blade was grabbed directly by the big purple-black hand.
"You guys, looking for a concubine..."
"What are you doing?"
The big monster swallowed the boy drunk and walked out of the mist with a sweet smile.
Incredibly terrifying magic power came from her spiritual foundation.
...
"Hey, Shenji, what's going on now?"
Tohsaka Rin felt something was wrong, and quickly asked Matou Shinji.
"I don't know right now...but there's something going on at the top of the mountain that's not quite right!"
With a drop of cold sweat on his face, Matou Shinji glanced at the sky.
Is it because the sun is setting little by little? Why does it feel like the surroundings are getting colder and colder? And...
Why did that purple-black mist appear in that place?
What did that Shuten boy do? Why did things change like this?
One-stroke command spell... It stands to reason that the magic power provided by the one-stroke command spell is simply impossible to support Shuten Doji to obtain this level of power?
but......
While thinking quickly, Matou Shinji gritted his teeth.
All in all, this place is no longer safe... We must retreat faster!
But, Shirou...!
He pulled the still swaying Liudong Issei and felt his heart beating faster and faster.
...
Zheng——
Zheng————
Annuo kept waving the holy sword in his hand, the light flashed and broke through the purple-black mist.
"Hahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"
"Interesting! Really interesting!!!"
"With such terrifying brute force, you white guy, I even think of that little golden guy!"
"But can you defeat me - can you do it!?"
Shuten Doji's whisper was already approaching madness. She was sitting on the top of the purple-black mist. The mist vaguely condensed into the shape of a big snake. Even the position of her eyes had condensed red light, as if she was watching the battle in the mist.
Anno.
Annuo's expression was serious and he was constantly on defense.
——Too many!
The opponent can control the mist to attack him - but why the mist?
Annuo didn't understand, but even so, his battle had become difficult.
The magic power in the body is not enough, and even if I want to release the Noble Phantasm, I can't...!
To be continued...
