Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

At this moment, red lightning instantly crawled around Shirou Emiya, and the blade in his hand turned into a red knight sword without knowing when.

The powerful swing even made the surrounding atmosphere tremble.

A sharp sound of breaking through the air also sounded, and a red arc of light was raised, aiming at the violent Cu Chulainn without hesitation.

Feeling the sharp wind coming towards him, Cu Chulainn gathered his mind, grinned, and pointed his toes. His body suddenly floated up, and the spear that was originally thrust out was instantly blocked in front of him.

"Dang---!"

The loud sound of metal colliding sounded in the space.

Under the red lightning, Cu Chulainn only felt the spear in his hand suddenly sink.

Then, a terrible force that could not be ignored was shaken from his hand, causing Cu Chulainn to be violently bounced away, and his feet slid hard on the ground, rubbing out two gullies.

"Lancer!"

Tousaka Rin watched the battle on the field nervously.

As a master, she also wanted to provide some help to Cu Chulainn, but the armor worn by Shirou Emiya directly interrupted all her attacks and traps against Shirou Emiya.

Even Lancer's fierce attack could only create a series of sparks on the armor. Rin Tousaka didn't think she could easily break the defense of the armor.

Whether it was Gandr or gem magic, it would be difficult to have any effect on Shirou Emiya.

It might even affect Cu Chulainn's battle.

"Magic power release————"

Cu Chulainn, who retreated to Rin Tousaka's side, looked at Shirou Emiya with red arcs flashing on his body and spoke slowly, his eyes became sharp.

This kind of skill is not something that a master can master at will.

"However, how long can you last with such intense magic power?"

With such a tone, Cu Chulainn pointed his spear downwards and made a gesture to rush forward immediately.

However——————

"Bang——!"

The ground where Shirou Emiya was located exploded in an instant, and his figure turned into a red phantom and retreated violently behind him, and a golden longbow quickly appeared in his hand.

"Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!"

The sword arrows that turned into beams of light pierced through the space and poured towards Cu Chulainn like a rainstorm.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Accompanied by the sound of metal clashing, Cu Chulainn did not even look at the sword arrows that were flying towards him. He waved the spear in his hand and easily deflected it, his eyes fixed on Shirou Emiya who suddenly retreated violently.

His brows were tightly furrowed.

"Is it a coincidence? Or——!"

Saying this, Cu Chulainn quickly lowered his body, red light surged in his eyes, and he shook the spear in his hand violently, and strands of magic power swirled up, bringing with it a roar-like whistle, and his figure shot towards Shirou Emiya.

The sword arrows that pierced through the air could not break through the spear wielded by Cu Chulainn.

Even if there was an explosion at the moment of contact, Cu Chulainn could quickly adjust his figure and run towards Shirou Emiya who was also flying without slowing down.

"Hah!"

Cu Chulainn shouted loudly, his body spun on the ground, and the path he was flying on was deflected in an instant, and countless sword arrows flew past him.

Only a whoosh could be heard, and in the blink of an eye, Cu Chulainn once again pressed in front of Shirou Emiya.

Without any hesitation, the moment Shirou Emiya entered the attack range, his arms trembled rapidly, and the magic spear was like a red poisonous snake, drawing scarlet rays of light in the air.

"Chi Chi Chi Chi --!"

The afterimages of the spear body appeared in the air, piercing Shirou Emiya's body like raindrops.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding --!"

The spear shadows of the violently stabbing magic spear collided with the red knight sword in Shirou Emiya's hand at an astonishing speed.

It aroused a continuous and crisp collision sound, as if playing a strange piece of music, playing one pleasant note after another.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding Ding --!"

In the continuous stabbing, even under the blessing of the magic power, Shirou Emiya could only keep waving the knight sword in his hand to resist, and his body retreated step by step.

This is not a gap in strength, but a gap in skills, a gap in experience.

"Is this all you have? Where did your momentum go?"

Facing Shirou Emiya, whose defense was a little embarrassing, Cu Chulainn mocked and provoked, and attacked Shirou Emiya like a mad dog.

There were many holes on the armor.

If it continued, Cu Chulainn's attack, which was like a rainstorm, would sooner or later penetrate the armor.

"Then wait until you dodge this attack!"

For some reason, facing Cu Chulainn's mockery, Shirou Emiya could not help but fight back.

"What!?"

At this moment, a samurai sword that seemed to be everywhere flashed with a strange light and flew in the air beside Cu Chulainn.

"Fantasy collapse!"

"Boom!"

A crisp explosion sounded from the air at this moment.

The dark, death-filled matter also exploded from it at this moment, splashing around like locusts.

"A poisonous curse?"

Cu Chulainn, who appeared dozens of meters away in an instant, stared at Shirou Emiya who stopped and stood there with anger.

He could feel that if he had not quickly used rune magic to protect himself when he retreated, and blocked the curse from splashing out, he would have been swallowed up by the dark curse.

Emiya Shirou had already developed such insidious tactics when he was still a high school student. Cu Chulainn couldn't believe what kind of person he would become if he was allowed to grow up.

Then, his body slowly moved, and he once again assumed a posture with the tip of the gun pointing downward.

The moment he appeared in this posture, Emiya Shirou seemed to have seen something terrifying, and a red arc of electricity suddenly burst out.

Emiya Shirou retreated behind him as quickly as possible.

"Boy, you really know that there is another way to release my magic gun——!"

Chapter 609: Deciding the Victory or Losing

"There's no way I can deal with that weapon of yours—!"

Shirou Emiya, who was retreating violently, stopped and expressed his fear of the spear in Cu Chulainn's hand without any concealment.

Only by actually holding it in your hand can you understand the terror of that red spear.

Gáe Bolg

Grade: B

Type: Anti-personnel Noble Phantasm

Maximum capture: 1 person

Attack distance: 2-4

The anti-army Noble Phantasm Gáe Bolg, which was originally used for throwing, was modified by Ku Churin himself and used as a Noble Phantasm for use against people. It is his special move and trump card.

It is a move that reverses the "cause and effect" that represents the order of things. The moment it is released, the "effect" of "the opponent's heart is penetrated" is created first.

The "cause" "because the heart was penetrated, so the gun hit" happened later. Unless you are very lucky, it can be said that this is a move that is definitely "death if released".

The magic power consumption is low, and considering the strong effect of "almost certainly destroying the enemy's heart", it doesn't require much magic power, making it a very useful Noble Phantasm.

Because the result of "piercing the opponent's heart" is already there when it is released, even if you kill Cu Chulainn first, you cannot change this result, so you cannot cancel the trajectory of this gun.

If Cu Chulainn really planned to use it in front of him and took a stance to release "Gáe Bolg", Shirou Emiya would desperately retreat backwards to escape the attack range of this Noble Phantasm.

"Tsk! How on earth did you know-?"

Cu Chulainn frowned when he heard Shirou Emiya's words. The library could search for his legend. It was not surprising that Shirou Emiya knew that his treasure had two ways to release it.

Strangely enough, he knew the movements of another form of release.

Library books don't contain detailed records down to the precise movements.

If it was true, Tohsaka Rin would have discovered it long ago.

When he learned the true name of his servant, Tohsaka Rin immediately went to the library to collect all the information, summarized and organized it, and judged what kind of judgment and behavior his opponent would make if he learned his true name.

So Tohsaka Rin didn't care about Emiya Shirou collecting information about Cu Chulainn in the library.

"Then you need to make sure yourself——!"

With such words that he didn't care about what Cu Chulainn said at all, the various swords and arrows in Emiya Shirou's hands turned into beams of light and flew towards him.

"Hmph! Glib! But do you think you can escape the past like this?"

Cu Chulainn let out a cold shout, and his momentum suddenly increased. The flying swords were destroyed one after another under his superb spear skills.

The spear in his hand vibrated violently, and traces of magic energy swirled upwards, causing a roar-like whistling sound, and the body shot violently in the direction of Emiya Shirou.

The whistling bright red spear collided with the flashing knight's sword and a cross-like thin sword.

The fierce collision exploded into violent sparks at this moment.

"It's not over yet!"

Cu Chulainn laughed loudly, and suddenly moved, the spear in his hand danced, the red light danced wildly, and he stabbed at Shirou Emiya's vitals crazily and fiercely.

"Cang! Cang! Cang! Cang! Cang! Cang! Cang! Cang!"

In the sound of steel clashing with steel, two thunderous attacks violently collided between the two, causing sparks to burst open again.

"Drink!"

Cu Chulainn's aura suddenly surged, veins popped up on his temples, and the majestic magic power condensed on the spear, like a surging flame, moving around, with a fierce shock, aiming at Emiya Shirou's heart was stabbed away without hesitation.

"Zila——!"

The crimson lightning also did not flinch at all. Arcs of electricity continued to surge from Emiya Shirou's arms. His feet were firmly planted on the ground, and all the strength in his body was condensed into one.

One hand was holding the crimson knight's sword, and the other hand was holding the cross-like rapier and the spear that seemed not to have appeared in such a fierce collision.

"clang--!"

The terrifying force exploded in an instant, and under this powerful impact, both of them were shaken and flew backwards.

"In this deadly battleground, you can't escape just because you want to-!"

As Cu Chulainn finished speaking, his feet suddenly exerted force, and a deep gully appeared on the ground in an instant. On the path of backward flight, Cu Chulainn quickly repositioned the spear in his hand.

It was as if the battle had returned to the first round.

However, in this situation, at this distance——————

"Try to take it! My fatal blow!"

The moment the words fell, a surge of bright red magic power surged from Cu Chulainn's spear aimed at the ground like a flame, raising waves of air and making the atmosphere chaotic.

The thick magic flame covered it in a very short time, becoming more and more dense.

Even in less than a blink of an eye, an energy shield containing terrifying magic fluctuations formed on the red spear.

Shirou Emiya, who had stabilized his body, began to tense up.

At this moment, his heart was surging like a steam engine, and his breathing tended to stagnate.

The magic power on the spear was too dangerous.

Under this situation and at this distance, Shirou Emiya has no chance to retreat from the distance where Cu Chulainn's Noble Phantasm is released.

However, this is exactly what he had expected, right?

In such a one-on-one situation, no matter how much strategy he thinks about, there is no way to stop Cu Chulainn from releasing this Noble Phantasm.

At the beginning of the battle, the distance between the two was too close. With Cu Chulainn's speed, Shirou Emiya had no chance to pull away from him by more than a few hundred meters.

He had to face the blow that had a cause and effect and hit his heart.
