Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

When gravity is released, Zenitsu Agatsuma's Thunder Breathing may have another breakthrough.

Kanao Kurikaraku followed Miyamoto Musashi for training.

Although she has extraordinary vision. She can predict the opponent's next move by observing the opponent's shoulders, sight, fingertips, elbows, knees and other small movements through her eyes.

But she is not flexible in fighting. She needs to learn to be more cunning from Miyamoto Musashi. She is often countered by Miyamoto Musashi because she believes too much in what she sees when she is sparring with him.

"This is not cunning, this is the art of war! It's the art of war! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand it!"

Miyamoto Musashi loudly refuted this. If she is not young now and has not experienced too much, she would write a book about the art of war she has learned.

Shirou Emiya just smiled slightly. Miyamoto Musashi, in addition to being a master of swordsmanship, is also a master of art of war. This is beyond doubt. Otherwise, he would not choose to let Kanao Kurikaraku learn more from Miyamoto Musashi.

Fushigawa Xuanya was practicing his gun alone. Compared with swords, guns are more effective in a short time. Moreover, he has experience in using guns and has his own unique fighting style when fighting against evil spirits.

Skills like breathing methods or swordsmanship like Niten Ichiryu are basically impossible to master in a short time unless you are a genius.

Even though Shirou Emiya can now read the swordsmanship of those swordsmen through projection, there are only a few that he can use now, and most of them cannot be used without projection.

As for Tanjiro Kamado, he spends most of his time practicing strengthening magic and Sun Breathing with his servants, and the rest of the time is basically spent practicing with Shirou Emiya to enrich his practical experience in dealing with powerful enemies.

The large number of weapons against evil spirits provided by Shirou Emiya gave them a considerable period of stability, but there will only be such a short period of stability.

After all, Shirou Emiya cannot stay here forever, and those evil spirits cannot do nothing from beginning to end.

The two sides have been fighting openly and secretly. During this period, it is unknown how many evil spirits have been promoted to upper strings, and how many upper strings and lower strings have been cut down.

"Chirp chirp chirp!!!!!!!"

The sound of birds came from the sky. This is the sound of the crow that is unique to the sound pillar. Such a sound proves that important information has been transmitted.

Chapter 870 The beginning of the counterattack

The sun gradually rises from the east.

The cold air gradually becomes warm, making the originally lonely atmosphere quite lively.

If the evil spirits choose to hide all the time, then humans who only have such a small place to survive will not be able to persist.

Surround without attacking, attack without fighting, this is the best strategy.

So in this war, it is not the evil spirits who are anxious, but them.

One year, two years, ten years, a hundred years.

The evil spirits have plenty of time to wait.

But for people living in towns, food has begun to be gradually scarce. Let alone ten years, I am afraid they can only persist for a few months.

Planting wisteria trees throughout the town naturally comes at a price, not to mention that even if such a small piece of land is fully planted with food, it cannot supply the survival of the entire city for a long time.

It is not enough to just resist the attack of the evil spirits.

To break through such a situation where death is almost inevitable, you must be prepared to fight to the death and solve the evil spirits from the root.

That is to kill Muzan Kibutsuji.

"These are the places where Muzan Kibutsuji is hiding, Lord Emiya."

In the depths of a forest, under the rustling sound of leaves in the wind, the Sound Pillar spoke to Shirou Emiya beside him as if he had lost his emotions.

"Are these the only places?"

Shirou Emiya tilted his head slightly to look. At such a distance, he could clearly see the extremely haggard and cold face of the Sound Pillar.

Just like a real, ruthless ninja who would do anything for the mission.

"If there is more time--"

He did not finish his words, and the haggardness on his face had already told Shirou Emiya the answer.

Emiya Shiro did not correct the Sound Pillar's name. On the one hand, he did not care about the name. Miyamoto Musashi had called him grandpa for so long, so he was too lazy to correct it.

On the other hand, the Sound Pillar's heart was dead, living like a zombie in this world. I am afraid that apart from killing Muzan Kibutsuji, there is no other idea.

Tanjiro and the others did not know what words of comfort to say, nor did they know what to do.

Because if these things were placed on them, they could only strangle their emotions like the Sound Pillar.

The Sound Pillar, Uzui Tengen, can be said to be the only ninja in this entire era, and the only person on the human side who can detect the movements of the outside world at night.

Many times, the large-scale activities of evil spirits can be known in advance by humans. It is not Minamoto Raikou's keen perception of war, but the information sent back by the Sound Pillar.

The information about Emiya Shiro and Miyamoto Musashi was passed on to Minamoto Raikou by him from the villagers.

The town was prepared in advance because the secret sentry he trained discovered the traces of Muzan Kibutsuji.

It is even said that Ibaraki-douji and Shuten-douji's multiple ambushes of Minamoto no Raikou were all detected in advance by the Sound Pillar.

Living in the dark with the demons, he is the only one who can lead the team to obtain intelligence on demon activities at night.

If the Sound Pillar dies, then at night, humans are almost the same as being blind.

Because only he has the ability to obtain intelligence.

Whether it is the skills of a ninja or the detection and analysis of the traces of demon activities, these all require time to cultivate.

And humans don't have that much time.

So he understands that he must live, even if he sacrifices all his companions, he must live.

In such a nearly desperate situation, he has to bear far more than others think.

How he used to hate such a person who has no humanity and regards life as nothing.

And now, he has finally become what he hates the most.

Even if it is for the survival of mankind.

"Let's start, before the night falls--!"

Shirou Emiya didn't say much. If he stood in the position of the Sound Pillar, what choice would he make.

Living is much harder than dying.

Shirou Emiya's expression became calm, and black mud continued to surge out from under his feet, slowly seeping into the ground.

The [Mirai-chan] who could accommodate evil spirits and had spatial abilities had already been killed by Shirou Emiya.

If it was like before, when the number of evil spirits was scarce and there might not be one evil spirit in a town, then the evil spirits could hide almost anywhere.

In houses, caves, forests, under the soil, as long as the sun could not reach, it would almost be a hiding place for evil spirits.

But now the number of evil spirits has far exceeded that of humans, but there are not so many places to hide.

Those houses that have not been destroyed can naturally accommodate so many evil spirits. After all, the number of evil spirits must be less than the number of humans before the war.

Most people will have a place to live, and the same is true after they are transformed into evil spirits.

However, because there were more living people than evil spirits in the past, the people of the Demon Slayer Corps would naturally have various concerns when they took action.

But now it is different. The owners of those houses are either dead or turned into evil spirits. Even if there are humans imprisoned in the house, there is no need to worry about it. Just destroy it directly. The sun will purify everything.

After tens of thousands of evil spirits died, most of them would not choose houses as their residences. It is too easy to be caught in the daytime and have no ability to resist.

As for forests and caves, the number of places they can accommodate is extremely limited. If you want to accommodate such a large number of evil spirits and a place that is not exposed to the sun, the easiest place to think of is underground.

And Uzui Tengen has a keen hearing and can hear even the slightest sound. He not only determines the location of evil spirits according to the direction they leave and the place where they disappear at night.

He can also hear the movement from underground through hearing and then confirm it.

"What is that!?"

"No, I can't move!!"

"Is it a blood demon technique? Why!?"

"Lord Muzan, Lord Muzan!!!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"

The screams of the demons continued to echo underground, reaching the ears of Shirou Emiya from the black mud.

It was as if the powerless humans were being chased by demons.

The black mud devoured the demons without any mercy.

From the moment they became demons, they had lost their human identity.

Those who didn't want to become demons were either dead or resolutely died under the swords of the Demon Slayer Corps after being transformed into demons.

In this situation, the black mud surged towards the fleeing demons like a tsunami, devouring everything.

They were like trapped beasts, and could only run around in the underground world they created. Once they came out, they would be burned to death by the sun.

"All the demons here have been eliminated. You can send people down to rescue the captives--!"

It only took a few minutes for Shirou Emiya to eliminate all the demons in this area underground.

Chapter 871: The Demon King Who Always Wants to Survive

Underground, there are captive humans.

It is not the case that only towns full of wisteria trees are left with humans.

There are still wanderers hiding from demons every day in various places.

Shirou Emiya once met those wanderers on the way to the flower street with Miyamoto Musashi.

There are even some remote villages that have not been found by demons and still exist in the world.

But if the last barrier against demons is broken, then this world will really become a world of demons.

Humans will only become livestock kept by demons like now.

If there were not many captive humans underground, Shirou Emiya would probably choose a faster way to eliminate them.

[Excalibur Galatine]

King Arthur's holy sword Excalibur gathers the light of the planets, while Lord Gawain's holy sword Galatine displays the blazing rays of the sun.

The hilt contains the Sun Disc Sword that simulates the sun. Those evil spirits will probably be burned to death just by looking at it.

"It looks like a small evil spirit settlement."

The Sound Pillar frowned slightly. After all, Muzan Kibutsuji could read all the information of the demons transformed by his blood. They might have known that this base was destroyed.

The opportunity only lasted for one day.

But in fact, there was only that first chance.

Muzan Kibutsuji, who had learned what they were doing, would naturally react accordingly.

Not to mention that Ibaraki Douji and Shuten Douji were not afraid of the sun, and they could exert their full strength even when the sun was shining.

However, they had already prepared for a fierce battle at night.

Such a way of destroying the opponent's bases one by one was also a means of forcing those demons who had been hiding.

They could not wait until the second day and let Shirou Emiya devour one base after another without hindrance.

The food in the town went down, and the army could not get sufficient replenishment. If they did not find a way, as time went by, there was only one ending waiting for mankind - destruction.

"Hush!"

With a whistle from Uzui Tengen, a black crow came sprinting from the sky and landed steadily on his shoulder. After a few seconds, it flew into the air.

"Next place————"

Uzui Tengen hummed and disappeared immediately.

Only Uzui Tengen and Emiya Shirou were responsible for destroying these evil ghost strongholds.

The rest of the people stayed in the town waiting for Minamoto no Raikou's order.

After all, Emiya Shirou's strength is obvious to all. It can be said that the entire Demon Slayer Corps plus Minamoto no Raikou and Miyamoto Musashi are not Emiya Shirou's opponents.

And talking about Tsugikoku Yoriichi, who was hidden and only Emiya Shirou and Miyamoto Musashi had seen.

Miyamoto Musashi said that she was killed hundreds of times by Emiya Shirou holding the red knife and using the Sun Breathing.

She herself did not have the confidence to fight against Tsugikoku Yoriichi, but she was very confident that her grandfather could easily get rid of him.

However, the other party seemed to know that Shirou Emiya was very powerful and could not be confronted head-on, so he kept hiding.
