She is very similar to a certain red Saber who likes to speak her mind directly, and only trusts her own instincts in all attacks.
But the difference between them lies here too. A certain red Saber who wishes to remain anonymous does not just attack based on her intuition, she also constantly summarizes and improves her own attack methods, forming a unique fighting style, a fighting technique that only she can use.
But Shana has not reached this level. She is still fighting solely based on intuition.
But in terms of intuition, Shirou Emiya's combat intuition is definitely not bad. What's more, Shirou Emiya has so much experience in life-and-death battles. In just a moment of fighting, he had already seen through Shana's attack form.
"Sword Breathing Flame Type Flame Demon"
Shirou Emiya suddenly turned around, and an extremely strong hot wind surrounded Emiya. The terrifying air wave stuck to the reverse blade in Shirou Emiya's hand.
There is clearly no flame, but it is still so scorching.
This is a move that Emiya Shirou saw Rengoku Kyojuro learn from him and then made his own modifications.
“Sizzle!”
At the moment when Shana chopped down, Emiya Shirou used the reverse blade in his hand to press against his shoulder, brushing against the Shidenzana in Shana's hand, and then with the force coming down, he actually rushed forward to Shana's side.
The reverse blade in his hand, with a burning breath, chopped towards Shana's neck.
"not good--!"
When Shana saw the blade so close to her, she knew something was wrong, and violent flames suddenly burst out from the blade of Zhidian Zana.
The scorching breath coming from his hand forced Emiya Shirou to retreat backwards.
The reverse blade in his hand was instantly baked into a bright red color by the high temperature generated by the flames.
Waves of burnt smoke emanated from the reverse blade in his hand.
Before Emiya Shirou could say anything, the reverse blade in his hand suddenly transformed into brilliant magical power and bloomed.
It could no longer maintain its form, and contrary to what Shirou Emiya knew, it shattered.
"What a powerful flame—"
Shirou Emiya's eyes became stern. Even if the reverse blade didn't melt, his hands would be burnt if he continued to touch it.
Shana's strength without and with special abilities is self-evident.
Although her swordsmanship is not very good, with the protection of such flames, her strength cannot be underestimated.
If expressed in abstract language, Emiya Shirou has now pushed Shana into the second stage.
At first, Shana also thought that she could defeat this human with swordsmanship alone. After all, the physical fitness of the Fire Mist Warriors is generally much higher than that of humans.
But she didn't expect that she would be defeated so quickly, and she had to use the fire of the Fire Mist Warrior to fight against it.
This is not an ordinary competition. Shana wants to fight with all her strength now.
You know, now, Shirou Emiya hasn't even taken out the armor he wore when fighting Fariagni.
The use of fire was also a message from Shana to Shirou Emiya that she had to use her full strength.
Otherwise, Shana would have continued to pursue at the moment she blocked Emiya Shirou's slash.
Instead of staying where he was after resisting Shirou Emiya's attack.
This is a signal that if you don't fight with all your strength, you won't be able to withstand your own attack.
At this moment, the dark black clothes were fluttering in Shana's arms, making a whistling sound.
With her flaming hair also fluttering in the wind, the Fire Mist Warrior with flaming hair looks like a brave female knight on the battlefield, full of heroic spirit.
Terrifying flames gushed out from Shana's body and instantly transformed into a huge hand that grabbed towards Emiya Shirou at a speed faster than expected.
This is Shana's free method, which materializes the claws of Alastair, the "Heavenly Fire", and attacks the enemy with a huge hand made of red lotus fire.
A terrifying gust of air erupted in front of Shirou Emiya. If he was caught by such a flame, he would probably be killed without a complete body.
However, the speed of the devil's claws made of fire was not that fast. If he had projected [Evil Ghost Haunted], he could have easily escaped from such an attack.
It's not that Shirou Emiya is unable to escape with his current speed, but the temperature is so horrifying that if he is not wearing [Devil's Haunting], his body will definitely suffer varying degrees of burns.
Therefore, projecting [Haunted by Evil Spirits] is the best solution.
But, Emiya Shirou didn't want to do that.
He wanted to know how strong he was without using [Evil Spirit Haunting], and he wanted to try whether he could defeat her without using [Evil Spirit Haunting].
If he used the double-layer [Devil Haunted] stance, Emiya Shirou could even end the battle within 3 seconds and defeat Shana, but that would be too boring.
At least in Shirou Emiya's opinion, Shana could not keep up with the speed of the double layer of [Devil Haunting] in the state of Thunder Breathing, and would not have any chance to react or resist.
"Trace on"
The moment a weapon, a pair of scissors, appeared in front of Shirou Emiya, he threw it out.
Cut All Things in Two "Soul-Extinguishing" - A scissors-shaped imperial weapon that can cut anything in the world, regardless of whether it is protective gear or not.
“Sizzle——!”
The moment the devil's claw made of fire touched the scissors, it was easily cut into two pieces and flew away to both sides. Strong air waves came from both sides of Shirou Emiya, and the feeling of being burned was not comfortable at all.
Fortunately, Shirou Emiya was not close to the two flames, so his body was not seriously burned.
Thick fog exploded on both sides of Emiya Shirou.
"What--!"
Seeing that the Freedom Technique she had used was so easily broken, Shana couldn't help but scream in shock, but she didn't stop the movements of her hands.
She is not someone who would be easily stunned just because her moves were cracked.
If I just stare blankly like this, I will be scolded by Wilhelmina.
The moment Shana's free technique was broken, she stomped the ground hard, causing a strong storm. The Shichidenzana in her hand, carrying an intense flame, once again shot towards Emiya Shirou.
Chapter 238 End
Facing Shana rushing towards her with such a terrifying momentum, Shirou Emiya's expression did not change at all.
It was as if it had known that Shana would attack like this after the flaming claw was cut off.
All that could be seen on his face was an expression of indescribable calmness.
The surging magic power surged in Shirou Emiya's body, and a brown bow appeared in Shirou Emiya's hand.
I am not very talented and sword skills are the fighting method I am least good at.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The moment Emiya Shirou raised his bow, the silver sword arrow turned into a silver light and shadow, instantly creating a strong storm in front of Emiya Shirou.
That speed was like lightning.
"!"
Faced with the sword arrow of such terrifying speed, Shana's pupils suddenly shrank, and she reacted extremely quickly, inserting the large sword in her hand into the ground, and slid along the ground like a shovel.
As a warrior, Shana also has unique conditions. She can react so quickly in such a short time, which is not something that an ordinary fire mist warrior can do.
Although archers have always been the representatives of long-range attacks, it does not mean that bows cannot be used at close range.
From seven steps away, the gun is fast; from within seven steps, the gun is fast and accurate.
The same applies to archers. At such a close distance, archers don't even need to aim. They can accurately hit the enemy with just a casual shot.
Just like the Gan Jiang Moye in Hong A's hand shattered when it collided with Cu Chulainn's spear, the reverse blade projected by Emiya Shirou, although its hardness reached the level of a Noble Phantasm, was far inferior to those Noble Phantasms overall.
It’s just that compared to other Noble Phantasms projected by Shirou Emiya, its only advantage is that its own Noble Phantasm level has not been reduced, and its various strengths have been steadily increasing.
Therefore, the reverse blades shot by Shirou Emiya turned into ashes the moment they were about to touch Shana.
If all the reverse blades shot out were replaced with Noble Phantasms, it would be difficult for Shana's fire to destroy them.
Not to mention, Shirou Emiya's flying treasures can also be used in another way.
However, this was just a competition, not a life-and-death duel.
And for Shirou Emiya, there is more than one way to defeat Shana now.
Even without using [Devil's Haunting], Shirou Emiya still has many ways to defeat Shana who is wrapped in flames.
You know, Shirou Emiya has experienced so many life-and-death battles, big and small, along the way. In terms of combat experience alone, Shana is far beyond his reach.
If Shana didn't have the special ability to control fire, she would have been defeated in such a fight long ago.
If Shirou Emiya really wanted to defeat Shana in this way, Shana would not be able to dodge those shots so easily.
At the moment when Shana was sliding forward along the ground, a silver blade light slashed towards Shana's face fiercely.
"Qiang————!"
A huge echo resounded in this bright red space.
"Well--!"
Shana quickly stabilized her body and drew out the sword in her hand and held it in front of herself.
She only felt an extremely heavy force ruthlessly hitting the Zhidianzana she had set up, causing both of her hands holding the knife to become numb.
“It’s so heavy…!”
Shana unconsciously expressed her feelings.
Previously, she was the one who launched the attacks while Emiya Shirou was on the defense. She had never imagined that this human being would possess such great power.
But now Emiya Shirou's physical fitness is only the level after the strengthening of breathing method. If compared with Shana, who is a fire mist warrior, his physical fitness is slightly inferior to her.
Naturally, Shirou Emiya is not as strong as Shana.
But Shana felt that the blow she received was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and her entire arm felt numb.
This was not an ordinary slash. Although Shirou Emiya did not have such a high level of sword skills, he had always been influenced by those who used different sword skills.
Whether it's the fiery Purgatory Kyojuro, the bone-chilling Esdeath, or the ferocious and brutal Saber who does not want to reveal her name, Emiya Shirou has always been influenced by them.
Arthur also taught Shirou Emiya some sword-using techniques. Compared to studying on his own, with Arthur's guidance, Shirou Emiya's understanding of sword moves has reached a higher level.
Naturally, he also has his own set of mature force-generating and slashing techniques. Such a slash is not something that ordinary people can catch.
Even an upper rank cultivator could be cut down by such a seemingly ordinary blow.
This was the state before Emiya Shirou used [Devil's Haunting] to bless himself.
If Shirou Emiya was wearing [Devil's Haunting] at this time, Shana would probably be knocked away by such a blow.
"It's just a human being!!"
At this moment, Shana completely failed to notice that Shirou Emiya's sword was not swallowed by the burning Shimazana. Her scarlet eyes were fixed on Shirou Emiya, who had an extremely calm expression, and her face was filled with fighting spirit.
“Open it for me!!!”
With words that seemed like she was venting her anger, Shana suddenly withdrew the Zhidenzana in her hand and retreated behind her, then quickly stabilized her body, stepped on the ground and shot towards Emiya Shirou.
Being able to find a way to deal with the situation in such a short time, Shana's fighting talent is extremely strong.
Shana spun around like a circle, and the flaming large sword immediately drew a circle of flames in the space, carrying a fiery red heat wave, and slashed fiercely in the direction of Emiya Shirou.
"it's over--"
Looking at Shimaden Zana who was slashing towards him, Emiya Shirou's expression remained calm. It would be better to say that Emiya Shirou's expression did not change much from beginning to end.
"Shana! Behind me!!!"
"boom--!"
Hearing Alastair's reminder in front of her, Shana suddenly turned around and looked behind her.
The flames around him were instantly cut apart, and a pair of large scissors swirled and appeared behind him with an unparalleled aura. At such a distance, he had no chance to dodge at all.
It was too late to use the Zhidianzana to defend now. He would be easily cut in half by the spinning scissors before the slash could cut through Emiya Shirou.
"It's the pair of scissors that blocked my Dharma! Is this also part of your calculations?"
Shana looked at Emiya Shirou in front of her unwillingly.
"Boom--!"
There was a crashing sound from beside me, and a cold touch appeared on my neck.
"you lose!"
Emiya Shirou placed the weapon against Shana's neck and spoke softly about the cruel reality.
