"Damn it - this guy! Why do you keep insisting on him?"
While running, Tohsaka Rin turned around and glanced at Shuten Doji, who was being surrounded by Yin soldiers led by Oni General Wei Hao, and his tone was a little angry.
.......It's so annoying!
"...Master."
Archer, who had never stopped drawing his bow and shooting arrows, noticed something was wrong and glanced in the direction of the black tower.
"well!?"
Rin Tosaka followed the direction of Archer's eyes and was startled.
"Then, so many!?"
"But...why do I feel so weak..."
I was startled and then became confused.
Although it has a shape similar to that of a Servant... but judging from the magic power output, it is completely incomparable to that of a normal Servant...
If two or three of them are like this, then Tohsaka Rin will be vigilant to prevent the other party from hiding themselves in pursuit of a killing blow. But if all individuals in this number have such behavior, then...
....This means they are really weak.
"It's a shadow follower. You can understand it as a low-quality follower with incomplete spiritual base, no self-awareness, and completely relying on the will of the contractor."
Archer explained and narrowed his eyes.
Even shadow followers are very weak, but if there are this number...
"That...general!"
Archer stood up and shouted to the ghost general Wei Hao who was controlling hundreds of Yin soldiers to attack Shuten Doji.
Click——
Ghost general Wei Hao's head suddenly turned 180 degrees, the ghost fire in his eyes flickered, but the action of fighting Shuten Doji in his hands still did not stop.
He was at an absolute disadvantage in such a battle, as two of his ribs had been removed - but because of his numerical advantage, and because the war horse turned into a skeleton was not afraid of the drink on the ground, he still formed a strong attack on Shuten Douji.
suppressed to a certain extent.
"ah!?"
Tohsaka Rin's eyes widened.
This, what is this! It’s so scary!
Why can his head turn 180 degrees in an instant, and won’t his neck break!?
Archer was also startled. After all, such a scene seemed so evil...but he still felt a sense of joy.
It would be nice if you could hear me...
"Lead your soldiers to deal with those shadow followers... Shuten Doji, just leave it to me!"
It seems that because it has to concentrate on producing Shadow Servants, the black tower is no longer obsessed with outputting that kind of terrifying light cannon, which leaves Archer with a certain degree of opportunity...
Although I don’t know when that thing will start again, but——
Now is the best chance to find a way to deal with Shuten Douji!
Ghost General Wei Hao did not take action immediately, but just stared at Archer for two or three seconds, as if...thinking?
.......think!?
These ghost generals still have the ability to think for themselves!?
Archer was shocked by this idea.
Click——
Before Archer could figure out whether this was possible, the ghost twisted Wei Hao's neck back 180 degrees - no, he was twisting it in the wrong direction. He was twisting it in the same direction as before.
One hundred and eighty degrees, a full turn in total!?
Why didn't his head fall off!?
"Gah——"
Ghost General Wei Hao opened his mouth and made a hoarse sound. Then all the Yin soldiers around him took action together, turned their spearheads, and rushed towards the shadow followers.
Shuten-doji was left standing alone with a big sword in his hand, with a somewhat dazed look on his face.
"...What's going on?"
Before Shuten Doji could react, he saw Archer rushing over.
"Archer!"
Tohsaka Rin was a little anxious, but saw Archer turned his head and smiled at her.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Buzz——
A strange feeling arose in Tohsaka Rin's heart.
The surrounding scenery is changing rapidly.
"well!?"
This is——
Inherent barrier!?
Archer actually has such ability!?
Why haven't I seen him use it before?
Could it be that - he knows his real name?
"I am the bone of my sword..."
"Steel is my body, and fire is my blood."
What Archer spoke was not another language, but...English?
The ground turned into sand dunes, clouds that looked like rust were scattered in the sky, and huge gears hung high in the sky, as if instead of the sun.
To Tosaka Rin's surprise, the surrounding ground, that is, the sand dunes, was covered with various swords.
"I have created over a thousand blades.Unknown to Death.Nor known to Life."
Archer's eyes already reflected the shadow of Shuten Douji.
“Have withstood pain to create many weapons.”
"Yet, those hands will never hold anything."
"So as I pray——[Unlimited Blade Works]!!"
Archer raised one of his hands.
Then——pointed towards Shuten Doji.
All the swords in the inherent barrier floated.
It floated up and formed an endless sword array - together with Archer's hand, it pointed at Shuten Doji.
Shuten Doji did not act rashly and looked at the swords around him with vigilance.
There's something...something wrong with this guy!
Snap!
Archer suddenly squeezed his hand into a fist.
For a moment——
All the swords moved.
Taking Shuten Douji as the [point], it gathered together at a crazy speed.
It's like a thousand swords piercing the heart.
Xiu Xiu Xi————
Shuten Doji swung the sword in her hand to strike at the sword thrust towards her - but she could only resist a small part of it.
Poof——
The first sword pierced her thigh.
"Uh-"
Shuten Doji let out a scream and his body shook.
Poof——
The second sword pierced Shuten Doji's arm.
Then - chest, belly, calves, heart, neck, head -
Until, every part of Shuten-douji's body was covered with swords, to the point where it was difficult to see whether Shuten-douji still existed.
Archer took a breath and let go of his hand.
He saw...
The black particles that Shuten Doji turned into when he left the scene.
In this case, it will be solved...
"Master, the battle is over, Shuten Doji...is confirmed to be destroyed."
He felt a little tired, but he still smiled at Tohsaka Rin.
"you......."
Tohsaka Rin hesitated.
"Did you remember your real name?"
After hesitating for a moment, she still asked the question.
The surrounding scenery changed rapidly again, from the sand dune-like scenery back to the wasteland at the foot of Yuanzang Mountain.
Archer pursed his lips, the expression on his face seemed to be a little troubled.
In the end, he could only smile helplessly.
"I do know...but let's talk about it later, okay?"
"Huh? Ah...hmm."
Tohsaka Rin didn't know why, so he nodded.
"So - the battle is not over yet."
Archer turned his head and looked at the shadow followers. When he turned around, he breathed a sigh of relief.
