Shirou Emiya doesn't want to work overtime

Now they had to find a way to force those evil spirits to show up.

This battle could be said to be a fight to the death.

They had to win no matter how much it cost, and they couldn't even let Muzan Kibutsuji escape, because they didn't have a second chance.

"Finally I can't sit still anymore! I'm almost drunk and dying--!"

Shuten-doji held the wine pot, gulped down the strong liquor, his face was ruddy, and he appeared beside Muzan Kibutsuji with a shaky step.

She naturally didn't know that Shirou Emiya could swallow up the entire low base in one breath, and she didn't know what method Minamoto no Raikou would choose to force them to show up.

But she was very clear about one thing, that if it dragged on like this, it would only benefit them, and the other party would definitely force them out at all costs while they still had the power to resist.

Although Shuten-douji never thought of ruling the demon group, it can even be said that Ibaraki-douji was the "disaster demon" who built a majestic city in Oeyama, commanded a group of demons that could defeat thousands of people, and wreaked havoc in Heian-kyō, causing fear among humans.

But it is undeniable that Shuten-douji does have the power and talent to bear the title of [Demon King].

But if he didn't love pleasure so much, he might really become an existence that Abe Seimei and Minamoto no Raikou found extremely troublesome.

However, even if she indulged in pleasure so much, it still gave them a headache.

"So, there is no solution? At his speed, he will be here soon!"

Muzan Kibutsuji was extremely angry. Those black muds could be said to be another nightmare of his. If it weren't for the fact that one of his fragments flew fast enough and left the range of the black mud at that time.

I'm afraid I would have been swallowed up by the black mud long ago.

Infiltrating in that way, there was no way for me to hide underground.

"What are you worried about? Let's talk about it when we get there first. Let's drink first!!!"

Faced with Muzan Kibutsuji's angry words, Shuten Douji just smiled and didn't care at all.

After all, whether it was Shuten Douji, Ibaraki Douji or Tsugikoku Yoriichi, the demon king, they were not afraid of the sun.

The only one who was afraid of the sun was Muzan Kibutsuji.

"You!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Hearing Shuten Douji's words, Muzan Kibutsuji became even more angry, and even countless black whips began to emerge from his body, and the strong murderous and bloody intentions immediately enveloped him.

"I won't let you disturb Shuten!"

Before Muzan Kibutsuji could move forward, the red flames suddenly enveloped the front of him, and a sword like a giant axe was placed in front of him.

Muzan Kibutsuji understood that as long as he dared to take a step forward, these flames would devour him mercilessly.

It's not that he hadn't thought about hiding from them like he had hidden from Tsugakushi Yoriichi, hiding until they died and then coming out.

But on the one hand, the other party was also an immortal being like him, and it might not be possible to outlive them like he outlived Tsugakushi Yoriichi.

On the other hand, Tsugakushi Yoriichi, as the ghost king, could somehow accurately determine his position.

No matter where he hid, he would be discovered by him, and there was no point in running away.

"Wait! Wait for the last dance offered by the opponent!"

"Wait! Wait for the moment when the wine is finally drunk!"

As he said this, Shuten Douji raised the wine glass in his hand, his face full of enjoyment.

Even from the perspective of momentum alone, Shuten Douji, the [ghost king] who was a hands-off boss, even completely suppressed Muzan Kibutsuji, who had lived for nearly a thousand years.

Chapter 872 The upcoming decisive battle

As time passed, a quiet atmosphere began to spread from the town.

All residents living on the streets had evacuated to the shelter.

It is entirely predictable that this city will once again become a battlefield.

In the situation where they are already at a disadvantage, they naturally have to do their best to put the existing forces into the battle.

This town surrounded by a sea of ​​wisteria trees will inevitably become the place of the final battle.

As one crow after another flew from the sky, groups of people left the town, and groups of refugees were brought into the city.

The soft light shone down from the west, emitting a golden light and igniting the entire forest.

And everyone's mood became heavier with this constantly moving golden light.

"This is the 42nd place, and the traces of Muzan are still difficult to determine--!"

In the hall of the city, Shinobu Kocho listened to the information conveyed by the crows and reported to everyone the situation of Shirou Emiya.

"It's almost dark--"

Tanjiro Kamado looked at the setting sun outside, and couldn't help but speak with a little loss.

Even though such a result had been expected, who wouldn't want to take down the other party at the lowest cost?

Enough people have died.

"Just as cowardly as before—"

A beautiful woman with a middle-parted hair styled into a large, low bun fixed with a flower hairpin made a disdainful sound.

Her eyes were extremely gentle, like a lavender mist, and her rosy lips formed a sharp contrast with her pale face.

She was wearing a dark purple kimono decorated with wavy lavender branches and red flowers, and a wide beige belt around her waist.

She is Tamashi, the only ghost living in the town, and she was also the doctor who worked with Butterfly Ninja to study drugs to deal with evil ghosts during this period.

Her disdain and hatred for Wu Mei can be clearly heard from her words.

The current situation is the same as when Tamashi once encountered it. Enichi Tsujikuni has been chasing and killing Onimusuji Mukai, but Oniitsuji Mukai has been hiding.

Even until the moment when Ji Kuni Enichi died, Oniwu Tsuji Mumei did not dare to appear in front of it.

"If his ability to split can be restricted, perhaps Emiya-senpai will be able to kill Muzan now."

In this regard, Kamado Tanjiro could only sigh like this. It was not because Shirou Emiya couldn't find any traces of Muzan Kibutsuji, it was just because he couldn't kill him.

Before Shirou Eimagiya came to the door, Onimusuji Muzan divided himself into several pieces and let the evil spirits who had the ability to walk in the soil run around with his body parts.

"Hey! Didn't Emiya-senpai deal with Muzan? Then wouldn't we-!"

My wife Zenitsu's shoulders were shaking slightly. He had already anticipated how brutal tonight's battle would be.

"Let everyone be ready to turn around, the search and rescue team stops going out, and all those who have gone out are now recalled."

"The next step is the real decisive battle——!"

Minamoto no Yorimitsu came to my wife Zenitsu's side and lightly patted his shoulder.

No one blamed Zenitsu for his extremely cowardly attitude. After all, no matter how scared he was, he would protect the residents behind him and never take a step back.

"Emiya Shirou and Uzuki Tengen are gradually clearing out the evil spirits hiding underground with the town as the center, so I'm afraid it will still be some time before those evil ghosts actually launch an attack."

Minamoto Yorimitsu said to everyone: "In other words, this is the last time left for us!"

Needless to say, after fighting evil ghosts for so long, they have already put their own lives at risk. No matter how many evil ghosts there are, they will not take a step back.

"This is really troublesome." Miyamoto Musashi stood up and said with a pair of bright eyes, "I'm afraid it will take a long time for Grandpa to get here."

If they want to capture this place, there is no way they can bypass one person - Emiya Shirou.

At this time, Emiya Shirou and Uzuki Tengen were twenty or thirty kilometers away from them. It was unrealistic to rush back in a short time, not to mention that the other party would not let him return to the town so easily.

However, this is actually an important condition for leading to Muzan Kibutsuji.

As long as Shirou Emiya is still in the town, Muzan Kibutsuji cannot launch an attack.

Therefore, if we want to lure the snake out of the hole, Emiya Shirou's departure is essential.

He can protect this town for a while, but cannot protect this city for a lifetime.

The only solution is to burn the cauldron and sink the boat.

"In short, we want to annihilate all those evil ghosts!"

Two hot breaths came out of Inosuke's pig head mask. Wasn't this long and hard training just for this moment?

Night finally fell again.

I don’t know if it’s because of the silent atmosphere. On this night, although there are not even a single dark cloud, there is no starlight either. Even the scarlet moon that has been hanging in the sky for a long time does not know when it will disappear, leaving the deep darkness. shrouded in surroundings.

And in such a world shrouded in darkness, in a certain forest, the icy wind suddenly roared past, and a figure stepped on the ground and galloped at an extremely fast speed.

"Uh-!"

A slightly depressed sound came out of Shuten Doji's mouth.

"Crack-!"

A large amount of blood seeped out from his body and dripped down, gradually forming a small pool of blood.

A closer look revealed that Shuten Doji's body had been stabbed and covered with dense wounds.

Injuries like this would almost be enough to declare death in a normal person, which can be called horrific.

"It's really embarrassing. A human being can reach such a height. It can be said that even a living hero is an exaggeration -!"

Shuten Doji was seen holding the giant tree beside him in disgrace, panting heavily, and looking behind him from time to time, as if there was a ferocious beast chasing him behind him.

"If I hadn't been an Assassin agent and had a C-level aura mask, I might not have been able to escape his pursuit."

In fact, it should also include her A+ level battle continuation, C level divinity, and the fact that she never thought about a head-on confrontation from the beginning to the end, only thinking about escaping, Shuten Douji was able to survive the bombardment of Emiya Shirou's sword rain. Survive the hard way.

If it hadn't been like this, if he had resisted such an attack head-on, he would have turned into a part of the ashes floating in the sky.

Using herself as bait to lure away the most powerful Shirou Emiya can be said to be the most dangerous decision she has ever made.

Chapter 873: The Sixty-third Pillar [Antos]

"When did you get the illusion that you were escaping—!"

The moment the words ended, Shuten Doji raised his head vigorously and looked forward.

There, a black shadow appeared silently on the trees in front, holding a red spear and pointing it at her.

It seemed that as long as she made any movement, this red spear would penetrate her heart.

"Did you really get caught up?"

Shuten-doji spoke in despair, reaching into his sleeves.

What he took out was not the long sword on the hilt of her wine jug, but a jug of fine wine.

Even though she knew she was going to die, she wanted to enjoy the sweetness of the fine wine at the last moment.

"I don't plan to resist anymore. My role was just to hold you back!"

"Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!"

After saying that, Shuten-doji seemed to really not resist. He dragged his already seriously injured body, sat down on the spot, and drank the fine wine mouthful after mouthful, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"You should know that even if there are more evil spirits here, there is no way to hold me back!"

Shirou Emiya's expression became cold, and the black mud rolled on the ground. The moment he came here, he knew that there was an ambush here, an ambush of many evil spirits.

But you have to know that when the strength reaches his level, the number of people is no longer meaningful, just like Minamoto no Raikou can also kill tens of thousands of evil spirits.

What's more, tens of thousands of evil spirits can be solved in just a moment for Shirou Emiya, and they can't play any role in blocking the enemy.

"Don't get me wrong, their role here is just to supply magic power--"

Listening to Shirou Emiya's words, Shuten Douji couldn't help but raise his mouth. It was already known that Shirou Emiya could destroy tens of thousands of evil spirits in a moment.

Shuten Douji naturally wouldn't bring those evil spirits to send them to a meaningless death.

"The essence of magic power is vitality. If there is a certain technique, vitality can naturally be converted into magic power here--"

At this point, Shirou Emiya's expression suddenly paused. In this land, there are not a few evil spirits. Roughly estimated, it is no less than the number that attacked the town before.

Such a huge amount of magic power appeared here. What exactly does she want to do? A bad premonition suddenly surged into his heart.

The spear in Shirou Emiya's hand shook heavily, and was covered with layers of thick red magic flames, raising one gust of wind after another.

"It's a pity that even if you kill me now, the art here will still be activated. After all, it's not me who actually activated this art, but the one who brought the Holy Grail to this world————"

"Gáe Bolg!!!!"

As the roar fell, Shirou Emiya raised the spear in his hand high above his head, and pointed the sharp spear in his hand and stabbed it hard in front of him.
