The evil ghost let out an extremely terrified sound, and waved the sharp claws on both hands towards Shirou Emiya in panic. "Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff! Puff!" In just a moment, Shirou Emiya's chest became a bloody mess, and he didn't know how many ribs were broken. Blood was flowing onto the ground like a fountain. However, Emiya Shirou did not let go at all, nor did he show any sign of trying to dodge. He held the katana tightly and pinned the demon to the ground. "Let me go! Let me go! Let me go! Let me go!!!" At this moment, the evil spirits who felt the threat of death made unbearable cries for mercy. The light called the sun in the distance began to approach. Perhaps in less than a minute, this light would illuminate the lobby of the hotel. "Let me go! Let me go!! Let me go!!! I will never eat anyone again! I will never kill anyone again! I will stay in the dark and never come out again! Let me go!!!!" The originally arrogant and domineering appearance suddenly disappeared without a trace. As a human being, Shirou Emiya was willing to risk his life. He fought with the evil spirit desperately even though his physical fitness was not as good as that of the evil spirit and he could not kill it at all. However, this evil spirit gave up everything the moment it saw the sun, and even begged for mercy from Shirou Emiya, whom he originally thought was his prey. "really?"
Emiya Shirou asked. "Really!! Really!! Really!! It's real!!!!!!" The evil ghost roared and even tears flowed out. "In that case—" Emiya Shirou loosened his grip on the katana slightly. At this moment, the evil ghost seemed to have succeeded. He suddenly tore off the samurai sword that was inserted into his forehead, kicked Shirou Emiya away, and then ran to the second floor without hesitation. "Wait until the sun sets! That's when you die, little devil!!!" The evil ghost left some harsh words and rushed towards the second floor at an extremely fast speed. The sunlight also fell into the lobby at this moment, chasing towards it at an extremely terrifying speed. If only we could get there! As long as we can get there!! As long as we can get there! That place!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! “Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!” The next second, just as the evil ghost was about to run to the stairs, three sword arrows flew through the air and pierced his head and his hands heavily. At this moment, the whole person was nailed firmly to the wall of the hotel lobby. "Please repent in hell for all those who died because of you!!!" "Do not!!!!!!!!!" At this moment, the bright sunlight rising from the distant horizon fell on it, like a howl of torture coming out of its mouth. But at this moment, there was no mercy in Shirou Emiya's eyes.
Then, as if he had reached his limit, Shirou Emiya fell heavily to the ground under the sunlight. Chapter 7 Short-term planning "Am I dead?" In a daze, a golden light with heat forced Emiya to open his eyes. He could feel that his body was still extremely sore, and every cell was telling of the suffering they had endured. "Will my body still hurt like this in the afterlife?" Emiya struggled to support himself and sat up from the ground. The endless soreness and swelling slowed down Emiya's movements, and just sitting up exhausted all of his strength. "Am I not dead?" Looking at this inn with all kinds of potholes and traces of battles, Emiya stood there in surprise. He knew very well that he had lost all consciousness and ability to resist at that time, and he would die with just a slight claw from the monster. But the fact is quite the opposite. He looked at his abdomen which had been pierced before. The arm that was originally inserted in that place had disappeared, and the huge wound seemed to be non-existent. But apart from the most fatal wound, the scratches covered all over Emiya's body with blood, even though the blood hardly flowed. And the body of the monster beside him in his memory seemed to have never existed at all. If it weren't for the environment he was in, the traces of fighting around him, the dried-up river of blood on the ground, and the swelling and painful muscles on his body, Emiya probably wouldn't have believed that he had fought that monster last night. "It doesn't look like anyone rescued me." Emiya picked up the samurai sword next to him and used it as a crutch to push himself up by inserting it into the wooden floor. The slightly dazzling sunlight penetrated the layers of woods and shone into the lobby of the inn. Emiya had never felt such a wonderful thing to see the sunlight. "Cough! Cough!" Emiya stood up and coughed violently twice. Perhaps it was because of the life-and-death pressure he had been under before. Now when he saw the blood all over the floor of the hotel again, he did not feel as uncomfortable as the first time he saw it. There is still a nausea feeling, but there is no violent churning in the stomach like before. “If only I could have gotten here sooner.” Emiya felt a little sad and thought that perhaps if he had arrived at the inn earlier, these people might not have been slaughtered by that monster. Perhaps he would die quietly like these people at the hands of that monster. But there is always a certain probability. What if he can discover the monster's movements in advance? No one can say for sure. Emiya endured the discomfort of his body and found the storage room inside the hotel.
"People always need a place to live. Rather than leaving their bodies exposed in the wilderness to be eaten by wild beasts, it is better to bury them." Emiya slowly moved his injured body and dug a hole next to the inn. Rather than leaving these corpses exposed in the mountains, Emiya would rather contribute what he can so that they can rest in peace. He simply dug a big hole and threw everything into it. Most of these bodies are incomplete, and many are just bones. Emiya had not received professional training regarding human bones or skin, so he had no way of telling who the limbs belonged to. He could only throw them all into the pit. "Let's clean up the hotel as well." Having barely finished his work, Emiya was not in a hurry to rest. Looking at the hotel that was already emitting a strong stench, Emiya decided to clean up the blood stains inside the hotel first. Most of the facilities in this hotel are intact, but many objects are stained with blood. The area that suffered the most damage was the front hall. If all the body parts were cleared away, even if no one lived here, it would provide a place for travelers who were lost in the forest to stay without having to worry about being attacked by wild beasts. Meanwhile, Emiya, who was inside the inn cleaning the blood stains on the floor, began to think about what he should do next. He had suffered such a serious injury, and although it was not obvious on the surface, it would greatly affect his actions. He was not sure whether he would encounter such a monster again after leaving here. He must first take good care of his body, at least to the point where he can exert most of his abilities before he can go out. In addition, he also needs to study whether the door he came through can be opened again, otherwise he might stay in this place forever. Not quite sure why. Because the monster was still speaking Japanese, it meant that he was still in Japan at that time. It couldn't be that the unified language of the two-dimensional world is Japanese, so the monster was speaking Japanese. In case he was just teleported to a deep forest somewhere in Japan, Emiya was able to get out and return to Fuyuki City on his own. But at this stage, I still need to recuperate and wait until I have recovered enough fighting power before I can find a way to leave this place. "I just don't know if the monster is really dead." Emiya did not see the monster's corpse, and he was not sure whether the monster was dead or not. Even if its body was cut into two pieces, it could still survive. In addition, the various parts of his body could still be controlled after being cut off, and their recovery speed was extremely fast. Emiya felt that there was no way to kill him at all. He really couldn't understand how he survived from such a monster. But now he could only say that he was lucky to have survived. After cleaning the inn, Emiya found a set of clothes that fit him in the room, went to the river to wash the blood stains on his body, and then found some medical supplies and some clean cloths inside the inn. He had been injured due to excessive exercise many times, so Shirou had some experience in dealing with his own injuries. Another katana was later found on the ground. There isn't much difference between the two swords, both are very simple samurai swords.
"Take both." Emiya thought that instead of leaving one sword here, it would be better to take both away. He didn't have any other weapons he could use now. If he encountered a monster like that again and the samurai sword he had used before broke during the battle, Emiya felt that he would really have no power to resist. There are sticks everywhere in the forest, but even with the use of strengthening magic, there is no way to fight against such monsters. It's safer to bring an extra one. Chapter 8 Where is Fuyuki? Five days later. A considerable amount of food is stored inside the hotel itself, otherwise it wouldn't be a hotel that only provides accommodation but not food. During these days, Shirou did not find any other monsters approaching here. It's not so much that no monsters approached, but rather that Emiya didn't even see any beasts. The entire forest seemed dead. Apart from the occasional bird calls from afar, Emiya did not see any living creatures. Perhaps the location where this hotel is built is really remote and basically no one comes here. Shirou was thinking about staying here for a few days to see if he could meet some people and ask them some questions. Meanwhile, the Tianwei Palace members were also diligently practicing their enhancement magic, as well as the projection magic that they had abandoned for a long time. Although in most cases they were just ordinary objects for display, he also found that if he projected items such as knives and swords, the mana consumption, projection speed, and quality were far greater than when he projected other objects. Emiya even discovered that the swords he projected sometimes truly possessed the power of swords, rather than being just an object for display that would shatter at the slightest touch and could only intimidate ordinary people who had never seen the world. For magicians who are familiar with projection magic, this should be just a trick. Perhaps they would use this magic when they drink water without a cup. However, the training time was still very short, and Emiya could only barely project the normal sword to its original quality. But most of the time, what is projected is of inferior quality. "Perhaps I can analyze the object first and then project it." This was a sudden thought that came to Emiya on the last day. But after staying here for so long, it's time to leave. Emiya thought that maybe he could find a safe place later or practice his projection magic when he returns to Fuyuki City. After staying here for a few days, no matter how he analyzed the wall, all he got was that it was just a wall made of wooden blocks, and he couldn't get any useful information at all. Now that the wounds on my body have healed, instead of just sitting here and waiting to die, it is better to find a way to take the initiative. Emiya was well prepared and sewed a small backpack with the things in the inn, which contained some water and food, and the two samurai swords were placed on his left and right sides. "I hope there is only that one monster. Then the residents of this area should be able to live normally." Emiya prayed seriously in his mind, not that he hoped he wouldn't encounter a monster like that again. If he encounters such a monster, he would rather stop it before it kills people, rather than killing it after discovering that the monster has already killed someone. Those are human lives!
Thinking of this, Emiya clenched his fists tightly. He really could not tolerate the existence of such a creature that could take human life so lightly. "Just look in any direction, and hopefully we can find residents before the food runs out."
