44 Chapter 44
As he stood firmly on the roof the torrential rain swept down.
It was early summer but the temperature of the rain was so cold that it seemed like pieces of broken knives were slashing Shirou's face.
As the largest hotel in the city, the building under his feet has a total of forty-four floors. The entire building is nearly 250 meters high.
The buzzing sounded non-stop behind him, it was an open-air swimming pool that was available four hours ago
But now the water in the entire swimming pool gushed out, and the fast-flowing water submerged half of Shirou's ankle.
No one expected that the rainstorm would come so quickly. In the face of the abnormal weather caused by the collapse, all weather channels lost their original accuracy.
Shirou frowned and silently recited the words to liberate the class card in his heart—
Class card: Archer—Install
Following a burst of intense light, armor, and holy cloth instantly appeared on his immature body.
In the fierce wind, the holy relic cloth, which had repelled most of the rain, rolled wantonly.
Shirou slightly narrowed his sharp eyes and surveyed all the scenes within his field of vision without missing a single detail.
Although using the power of "that heroic spirit" improved his eyesight to see four kilometers away it was insignificant to the 2,000 square kilometer city.
—Of course, he doesn't need to see all the details.
Even for ordinary people, as long as they stand at a high enough place, they can see the general appearance of a city in their eyes. The only problem for Shirou is the constant downpour from the rain blocking his vision
Fortunately, before the connection was disconnected, the monitoring screen had already recorded the location of the Honkai outbreak on a USB.
Even if the continuous monitoring was lost, Shirou would still use the recorded information to find the area where the mutation occurred.
The Honkai energy fluctuates by 421 Honkai Wave, and it is speculated that the influence range is 600 meters in diameter.
As long as the beasts in the central area are defeated before they start to act, the disaster can be kept to a minimum.
The closest Fire Moth team is the fifth team, luckily they are still in this country but unluckily the time they will arrive is unknown
Of course, even if they arrived soon, Shirou couldn't ignore the disaster that's happened in his eyes.
At this moment, Shirou saw a somewhat fuzzy pure white shadow.
Even though it looked like a small spot from here, by comparing the size of the shadow with the surrounding buildings, he could tell the size of the opponent at a glance.
It was a monster with a height of more than 20 meters. Even if the sound had not fully reached his location, Shirou seemed to be able to vaguely hear the sound of buildings falling apart and crushed people.
Shirou's pupils contracted quickly and after locking on to the specific location of the target, he no longer hesitated. He let his body tilt on the side of the tall building, and fell straight down quickly, following the extremely violent gale!
Halfway through Shirou turned into a spiritual body, which allowed him to ignore all physical obstacles and headed to the area where the Honkai broke out at his fastest possible speed.
In the bedroom of the VIP suite, Elysia was awakened by the dull thunder and sat up from the bed a little uneasy.
Before she had time to put on her slippers, she opened the bedroom door at a loss and looked around the empty living room:
"Emiya...Emiya—?"
"Emiya, where are you?"
"Mom, where are you...?"
In the cold room, the girl's lonely and immature clear voice echoed.
—everything is falling apart.
When Shirou reached the distance where he could see the disaster scene, his expression suddenly became ugly.
There is no living person to be seen within a 600-meter radius of a huge white monster
He didn't know if it was luck or misfortune, but there wasn't even a single person who could become a Zombie nearby. All of them died
The Honkai Beast fell into a temporary stagnation as if it had lost its target to destroy.
The purpose of the Honkai Beast is to kill humans, not to carry out endless destruction. Under normal circumstances though, to kill nearby humans, they are irrational and will turn everything nearby into ruins.
But this monster soon found a new target.
Compared with the city residents farther away, the sudden outbreak of Honkai could only kill a small part of the city's humans.
Its head-shaped organ slightly shone with a circular light.
But just as it was making preparations for marching, preparing to rush to other parts of the city to indiscriminately kill the local humans, two magic arrows wrapped in red light spanned several kilometers in the blink of an eye.
While breaking through a large area of torrential rain, it also pierced the Honkai beast's feet mercilessly.
"—?!"
It should be a monster without a vocal organ, but at the moment when the foot supporting the body was pierced an extremely violent sound waves spread out undisguised.
The glass shattered one by one from its sound, and the torrential rain poured down like it was running away from the sound as if fleeing for its own life.
In the next instant, the monster's body disappeared.
Three and a half kilometers away, Shirou couldn't help being slightly taken aback.
Although Shirou in the spiritual state can ignore most physical attacks he has no way to interfere with the outside world while maintaining the spiritual state.
Therefore, only in the physical state can he initiate sniping.
It's not that he doesn't want to lock onto the monster's head, it's just that the information provided by Fire Moths says that Honkai Beasts do not have any internal structure such as a brain so the head would not be considered a fatal point.
If you want to defeat a Honkai Beast, the best and only way is to find the "heart" built from pure Honkai energy—the so-called "core".
He originally planned to take away the monster's ability to move and force it to stay in place, but he completely missed the fact that the monster could freely suspend itself in mid-air, those feet were nothing but decorations
In less than a millisecond, the moment the monster's figure disappeared into place, a piercing chill shot up his spine.
Teleportation? Or a long jump? No matter what Shirou thought the Honkai beast did he was already captured by a strong killing intent. He immediately made the most correct choice driven by the fighting instinct possessed by "that heroic spirit".
"Trace on!"
He casually discarded the bow in his hand, jumped through four buildings, and instantly copied the weapon "that heroic spirit" was most familiar with into his hand.
With the ear-piercing hissing sound, a dazzling fire broke through the violent storm in the night.
The figure of Shirou who was galloping towards the target was caught by the monster. He barely blocked the white pointed spear held by the monster as he did not expect the opponent to appear suddenly.
"Tsk...!"
Before falling to the roof directly below, Shirou instantly transformed his body into a spiritual state and quickly adjusted his posture the moment he fell to the ground.
Fortunately, the Honkai Beast is irrational and only knows how to kill and destroy. It has no decent fighting skills at all.
If Shirou were to face any opponent "that heroic spirit" fought he would have already died ten different times.
Maintaining the state of a spirit body, Shirou rushed out of the building with lightning speed.
He didn't know if it was because he lost his target but this time the monster picked up the white spear and aimed it where Shirou disappeared—a floor smaller than the figure of the monster fell!
"Hmph—"
Shirou snorted coldly and threw out the black and white swords in his hands without hesitation.
The black and white sharp blades aimed at the spear tip that fell from the monster, and drew two sharp interlaced slashes
The intertwined slashes flashed past the tip of the spear.
Although the monster didn't push back completely, the violent force coming from the two blades pushed the spear directly below to the empty road.
With a dull loud noise, the spacious and uninhabited road was broken into pieces. People in buildings turned on the lights after hearing the violent movement, and one after another, figures appeared by the windows.
"—!"
It switched its goal because Honkai Beasts are irrational they don't care who they attack, as long it's a human, it will attack.
However, it's precisely because of this irrational judgment it gave Shirou a chance.
At the moment when the monster changed its target and was about to indiscriminately kill the surrounding humans—
"I am the bone of my sword"
In mid-air, Shirou pulled the bowstring fully back in one breath and successfully found a gap to deliver a truly fatal blow.
"Caladbolg—!"
The bowstring stretched to the limit and let out an unscrupulous roar.
The torrential rain, the strong wind, and even space itself were instantly distorted by the powerful words.
A violent hissing sound swept over.
The long arrow pierced everything and tore the white monster into pieces with ease, leaving a deep, pitch-black hole in the ground
