Chapter 558 Shiro vs. Rider!
The next day, Shiro came to the post station to find Miroku and the others early in the morning.
Of course, it wasn't that Shiro had come to his senses. He came this time for two reasons: one was about the Holy Grail War, and the other was to see what level he was at among the Servants.
After observing for a whole day yesterday, although Shilang still doesn't know which Heroic Spirit the rider is, he can tell from some details that he is definitely not a weakling!
If possible, Shiro wants to fight with him to confirm his current position so that he can be adequately prepared to deal with the Hero King!
"Hehe~"
"Who?" Maitreya's gentle voice came from the room.
"I'm Emiya Shirou."
"Lord Shiro?! Sorry, please come in." After hearing that it was Shiro, Maitreya, who was about to open the door in the room, suddenly panicked and opened the door hurriedly.
Looking at the nervous Miroku, Shiro smiled helplessly: "Don't worry, we won't talk about business today, relax, I'm here for personal matters today."
"Private matter?" Suddenly, Miroku thought of that possibility, his eyes dimmed, and he smiled bitterly, "You say."
Rider's figure suddenly appeared, looking at Shiro quietly, with an unnoticeable maliciousness in his eyes.
Shiro's attention was drawn to the sudden appearance of Rider, so he didn't notice Miroku's abnormality. He said to himself: "Well, I hope you can take the Holy Grail War seriously and not give up participating in the war or participate passively because of Konoha's reasons."
"Okay, I understand. Eh? Holy Grail War?" Miroku looked at Shiro in confusion.
Just now, she had convinced herself, as she had in the past few years, and was ready to accept this fact. She didn't pay much attention to what Shilang said. Only when she was halfway through agreeing did she react.
It seems, probably, it seems, it's not about that thing
The rider standing by held his forehead with his right hand and sighed.
"Uh, what do you think it is?" Shiro was stunned for a moment, looking at the blushing Miroku curiously, suppressing one of the three major illusions in his heart.
"No, it's nothing. We will actively participate in the Holy Grail War. After all, if we win, we can get a wish. This result is still very tempting."
Maitreya suppressed the shame in his heart and spoke seriously.
"Well, but first, don't be careless. This is insider information. The Servants this time are very strong! Some of them are at the top of the Servants, so you still have to be careful."
"Well, thank you for your concern, Lord Shiro, but I believe in Rider, we will definitely win!" Miroku looked at Rider with a smile.
"That's good. Actually, I have an unwelcome request today."
"Lord Shiro, you are too polite. Please tell me if there is anything we can help you with." After the recent misunderstanding, Maitreya did not think too much this time.
Shiro looked at Rider and said, "I want to fight Rider and determine my own strength!"
"This" Maitreya looked at Rider. The one who was going to fight was Rider, so Rider was the one to make the decision.
Rider glanced at Miroku, giving her a reassuring look, then looked at Shiro: "The outcome of the battle shouldn't affect your cooperation with the Master Nation, right?"
"Don't worry about that. I just said it. This is just my personal matter. It won't affect you. I'm not afraid even if you accidentally kill me. Of course, the premise is that you don't prevent me from resurrecting."
'Resurrection!!!'
Rider and Miroku looked at the smiling Shiro in shock. The word "resurrection" was extremely shocking no matter who heard it or when!
"In that case, I have no problem. When do we leave?"
"Let's do it now without further delay."
As he spoke, Shiro stood up from his seat, opened a space door, and walked in. Miroku and Rider looked at each other and quickly followed.
After passing through the space door, the vision of several people suddenly became clear. The green grass slowly lay on the ground with the breeze. In the distant woods, small animals were chasing and playing, and in the sky, wild geese were dancing with eagles.
Everything is harmonious~
The only problem is that it's a bit too harmonious.
Over in the woods, a rabbit and a tiger were fighting, and a rabbit was chasing a tiger. The geese and eagles in the sky were flying non-stop, but they just wouldn't fly anywhere else.
Also, it’s winter now, but here it’s spring and flowers are blooming
It doesn't look normal no matter how you look at it!
Looking at the two stunned people, Shiro smiled and said, "This is a laboratory under the research department, one of the shelters built to prevent extreme weather. Of course, don't worry, the research here is completed, so you can fight freely. Don't worry about damage. We will have to tear it down and rebuild it afterwards anyway."
"Wait, Shiro-sama, one of them? Does that mean there are many places like this in Konoha?"
Miroku quickly grasped the key point in Shiro's words, one of the shelters.
To be honest, if you ignore those unusual little situations, this place is a paradise even compared to the current living conditions in the Ghost Kingdom, not to mention being a refuge!
While they were still thinking about how to survive in the present, Konoha was already thinking about how to escape in the future when encountering natural disasters or man-made disasters, and the conditions were very good!
Now the last bit of resistance in Miroku's heart to joining the Fire Country has disappeared with the emergence of the refuge.
"It's okay. With the large amount of capital injected by the Konoha Mobile Chamber of Commerce, it's now on the right track."
Shiro didn't lie to Miroku, but he didn't tell the truth either.
Currently, the shelter plan is indeed on the right track with the injection of funds from the Chamber of Commerce. Unfortunately, it is only on the research track. It is extremely difficult to build a complete natural ecosystem out of thin air.
Moreover, this concept was too novel for the newly established research department. Even with the injection of huge resources, not many people were interested, and among these interested people, capable ones had to be picked out.
This has resulted in slower progress on this task.
Currently, only Shiro, Orochimaru and his three subordinates are involved, and the three most capable ones are not interested in this project.
This is the most embarrassing.
All three of them knew the importance of this plan, but the third generation was almost only good at studying ninjutsu, and Orochimaru was not interested in it. If it were not good for the village, he would not even be named in it.
And Shiro. He is just the proposer, not a fan, and he does more research on his own.
However, this also has an advantage. This plan has enabled Konoha to discover more research talents. The current shelter plan is being promoted by them and is now officially on track.
So strictly speaking, Shiro didn't lie, he just didn't make it clear what was on the right track.
The viewing soon ended; they came here to fight, not to sightsee.
Shiro and Rider stood facing each other in the middle of the lawn, quietly waiting for Miroku to go away.
Rider summoned a spear and held it upside down behind him. He narrowed his eyes at Shiro, who stood still. "As an archer, don't you keep your distance?"
"Projection, start!"
Shiro's hands flashed with white light, and a pair of black and white blades appeared in his hands. "There's no rule that archers must use bows, right? Besides, you didn't summon your mount, did you?"
After they finished speaking, the two of them smiled in tacit understanding. The next moment, when Maitreya retreated far enough, their figures disappeared instantly!
"clang!"
The next moment, the two met in the middle of the lawn!
The double swords and the long spears were in a stalemate here, however, the more intense battle was yet to come. After a brief stalemate, the two men attacked like a storm!
“Dangdangdangdang~~~!!!”
"Crack!"
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound, and Gan Jiang shattered just as Rider raised the corner of his mouth!
Just as he was about to take advantage of this opportunity to launch an attack, Shilang clenched his palms, and Gan Jiang appeared in his hands again, blocking Rider's attack!
"What!? Didn't it just break?"
Just as Rider was surprised, Silang twisted Moye's wrist, and Moye immediately spun around from behind Silang and slashed towards Rider's head!
Just a moment of distraction and the situation of the battle changed. At this moment, Rider had no way to stop Moye!
"Tap~whoosh~"
Rider exerted force on his feet and retreated at lightning speed. Then, while Shiro had not yet put away his sword, he quickly circled the entire battlefield and appeared behind Shiro!
"So fast!"
"Strengthen, start!"
“Huh~”
A subtle air current surged, and blue textures instantly spread all over his body. The strengthened Shilang sped up suddenly, taking over Moye in an instant, then quickly twisting his body, crossing his two swords to block Rider's attack!
"when!!!"
"Enhance? You're a magician, but you're so strong in close combat. You're really a weirdo~"
"Isn't it the same for you? As a rider, you wield a spear with such vigor and energy. And that ability you used to instantly cross the battlefield just now—that was the Comet Run, right? Achilles!"
As he spoke, Shiro couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Achilles is a servant that is strong enough to rival Karna, and Karna is a master at the same level as Shining!
Of course, these are what Shilang saw on the Internet in his previous life, so they may be a bit exaggerated. After all, there is a saying that he is second only to Hercules.
However, regardless of whether these are true or not, at least it proves that his strength is strong enough, at least, it is first-rate!
"You know me? Haha~ You're truly extraordinary. Now, the real attack is coming!"
After he finished speaking, Achilles disappeared instantly and then appeared behind Shiro!
At this moment, Shiro's double swords had just moved a little bit, and his comet-like running method was so terrifying!
"call out!"
Achilles' spear instantly penetrated Shiro without any hindrance!
"Tsk~ Space magic?"
Achilles frowned as he looked at the cube crystals on Shiro's body surface and ran away instantly. He sensed danger!
"boom!"
Achilles' perception was correct. The next moment after he left, a huge stone axe and sword smashed the earth!
At this time, Shilang, who projected Uncle B's axe and sword, had soared to A in all four dimensions!
Instead of the potential of just a!
After the agility reached A, I was finally able to keep up with Achilles' speed. Although it was still difficult to deal with him, it was no longer as late as before!
"Hercules' axe and sword? It seems there's more to it than that. Your magic is quite interesting."
"The fun is yet to come. Achilles, pay attention! Round two has begun!"
