This is an indisputable fact, not to mention that she is also extremely interested in the poison used by Emiya Shirou.
In this era, it is rare to find a poison that can kill a heroic spirit.
Especially the toxicity contained in it can be said to be extremely fierce.
Semiramis even analyzed that the poison was just an imitation and its toxicity was not as high as it should be, as if it had been reduced by a level.
She also wanted to see the true toxicity of this poison and how strong it was.
However, with Shirou Emiya's strength, he could not do anything on the battlefield afterwards, so Semiramis did not pay too much attention to him.
After all, there were so many unexpected events that Semiramis was so overwhelmed that she basically forgot about this young man.
However, no one expected that he would rush in so recklessly. Semiramis was a little impatient to see Shirou Emiya die in the poisonous fog.
"Ok?"
But the scene on the screen made Semiramis feel confused.
"Bang——! Bang——! Bang——!"
Amid a series of footsteps, Emiya Shirou exerted all his strength, transformed into a flash of light, and rushed towards the location of the Cathedral Church.
Shirou Emiya had been to Sighisoara with Arthur before. It had only been two days, so Shirou Emiya had not forgotten how to get to the Cathedral Church.
This may be one of the reasons why he rushed towards the poisonous fog without hesitation.
“Buzz buzz buzz…!”
Obviously, there is more than just the Dragon Tooth Soldiers and the poisonous fog released by Semiramis in this town.
Magic circles were deployed on the surrounding buildings like a military formation, transforming into artillery batteries, aiming at Emiya Shirou.
If they only rely on the poisonous fog, once it is broken, those servants will be able to come to the Cathedral Church unimpeded.
Even if Amakusa Shiro Tokisada allowed this, Semiramis would not allow it to happen.
Although there is basically no way to crack this poison gas, there are always unexpected things, right?
Just like Shirou Emiya who rushed into the poisonous fog.
The armor he was wearing seemed to have the ability to block poison gas.
However, even so, it is impossible to completely prevent Hydra gas from polluting the air.
The level of this poison is undoubtedly the highest level A. It is impossible to completely resist the attack of such poison gas just by relying on the projected evil spirits.
If the original version of the Akatsuki came, it might be able to evolve into an existence that can resist poison gas, but as a reduced version, Shirou Emiya's Akatsuki obviously does not have such an effect.
However, even if it is the original evil spirit that is haunting, the most likely possibility is that the user has been poisoned to death before it has successfully evolved.
Just like being hit by Akame's Murasame, such a strong poison can kill the user before the evil spirit can evolve.
However, the serum created by Shishi Jiejie makes Shirou Emiya immune to this poison for a short period of time.
"Zheng!"
The next moment, dazzling magical light filled the place where Emiya Shirou was.
Astolfo, flying in the sky, could feel a powerful magical fluctuation occurring under his feet, and strong light burst out from the thick purple mist.
Countless beams of magic power turned into a dense rain curtain, spraying towards the street where Emiya Shirou was.
Under such an indiscriminate attack, an ordinary magician would probably be completely blasted into pieces.
However, the only thing to be thankful for is that these light cannons do not belong to the light cannons of the Semiramis Sky Courtyard, and their level is far from reaching the terrifying EX level.
These are the magic circles that Tokisada and Semiramis created together during the reign of Amakusa Shiro.
Although it was not able to destroy the castle of the Yugdomrenia clan with one strike, each beam of light fired had the power of Atalanta's Noble Phantasm.
This indiscriminate shooting brought a strong sense of oppression.
Chapter 199: Double the Haunting of Evil Spirits
"Bang bang bang bang bang!"
Terrifying magical bombardments were fired from all directions, aiming at Shirou Emiya's position with incredible precision.
The pen-thick beam of light caused countless explosions the moment it touched the ground, setting off an astonishing wave of fire that expanded to the surroundings with a surging wind.
The earth was suddenly burned black.
Streets and houses were ruthlessly destroyed.
The terrifying heat waves that were generated even made Astolfo, who was in the sky, feel uncomfortable.
But the scene on the screen brought a hint of emotion to Semiramis's cold face.
"Varied--!"
Before the smoke produced by the terrifying light cannon dissipated, a silver figure rushed out from the smoke like a missile, at a speed almost twice as fast as before.
The magic light cannons set up in the town do not require Semiramis to operate them manually in real time. Any light cannon has the function of automatically searching for enemies.
The moment Shirou Emiya rushed out of the smoke, all the magic circles quickly adjusted their positions and shot towards Shirou Emiya's position again.
At this moment, the silver figure rushed out of the smoke, and the silver armor on his body became thicker at some point.
The moment Emiya Shirou saw the magic circle light up, he didn't hesitate at all. In the state of [Haunted by Demons], a sword with a chain appeared on his left hand.
This was his first time trying to wear two sets of [Evil Ghost] at a time, and he didn't know what effect wearing two sets of [Evil Ghost] at a time would have on his body.
But he knew that at the current speed, it was impossible to dodge the light cannons released by these magic circles.
Shirou Emiya could only be thankful that these light cannons were not the ones on the sky courtyard. Otherwise, even if he could wear two sets of [Devil's Haunting], he would not have a chance to dodge the EX-level light cannons.
They will only become innocent souls killed by the light cannon like those artificial humans.
At this time, Shirou Emiya, who had already rushed out of the smoke, was not feeling well.
He felt his heart beating at a terrifying rate, and sweat was emanating from his skin like steam.
An indescribable force was pressing on Shirou Emiya's heart. He felt his body beginning to collapse while wearing two sets of [Devil's Haunting].
The skin on his body began to ooze blood.
Two minutes, or three minutes?
Shirou Emiya had no way of making an accurate estimate, but given the current situation, he definitely wouldn't be able to hold out for more than two minutes.
Although Shirou Emiya's speed increased in an instant, it did not mean that he could walk through a field of flowers without getting hurt. He dodged all the light cannons shot at him one by one.
At this time, some parts of Emiya Shirou's armor were already in tatters, and blood was flowing from the armor to the ground. Although Emiya Shirou had broken out of the largest encirclement, he also suffered a lot of injuries.
Even his shoulder was pierced by a laser cannon shot from an unknown direction.
Given his current physical condition, and the Hydra poison that was constantly eroding his body, two minutes? Shirou Emiya would be thankful if he could hold out for even one minute.
However, compared to the critical situation before, the light cannons now have a hard time catching up with Emiya Shirou's speed.
Although the speed of the emitted rays was much higher than Shirou Emiya's movement speed, within the time it took for the magic circle to prepare and shoot, Shirou Emiya had even gone out of its range.
In just a few seconds, Shirou Emiya passed through the entire street formed by the magic light cannon array.
"Kick--!"
Semiramis slammed her chair in anger. She had not expected that the defense she, Amakusa Shiro and Tokisada had designed could be easily broken through by Emiya Shirou.
All of this took them an entire day to break through the defense in just a few minutes.
If it had been a hero like Achilles who had broken through these defenses, Semiramis would not have been so angry.
After all, everyone knows that such defenses cannot stop heroes like that. In the eyes of those heroes, these defenses are just like paper.
But even so, these defense facilities are enough to defeat a large number of ordinary heroic spirits. Only heroic spirits who have reached the first-class level can break through such defenses in a short period of time.
What's more, for Achilles, who is a Greek hero, Hydra's toxicity will directly rise from Class B to Class A, and it will be almost impossible for those Greek heroes to resist it.
But now, this defense that would defeat an ordinary hero was broken by an underage boy, a magician.
Wasn't that enough to make Semiramis angry?
But it also made Semiramis even more interested.
"The next one is something that even Hercules would find difficult to deal with."
Perhaps humans are such strange creatures. On the one hand, Semiramis was angry that Shirou Emiya could easily penetrate her defense, but on the other hand, she was excited that such a miracle could be created with a human body like Shirou Emiya.
She wanted to see Shirou Emiya die powerlessly at the hands of her pet, and she also wanted to see whether a miracle would happen to this man, a miracle in which a mortal man could defeat a myth.
At this moment, under the Holy Church, there is an existence that makes countless heroes feel despair. This is also the last line of defense set up by the entire Red Team.
There was no magic defense array, no dragon tooth soldiers responsible for interference, only a giant beast that was constantly releasing poison gas all over its body - Hydra.
One of the twelve trials that Hercules passed was the giant swamp snake Hydra, which was defeated in the Lerna Swamp and was rumored to have nine or a hundred heads.
Because of its poison that is said to kill humans instantly if they come into contact with it, and its abnormally high regeneration ability that allows it to regenerate two heads immediately even if it is decapitated, it is a monster with a top rank reputation even in the Twelve Trials.
And around Hydra was an extremely thick purple mist.
The intense sense of crisis generated by the creature made Emiya Shirou stop involuntarily.
The concentration of the poisonous fog here is many times higher than the poisonous fog that Shirou Emiya had encountered before.
But now is not the time to retreat here. Shirou Emiya hesitated for just a moment and then stepped into the extremely thick purple mist.
"laugh…!"
An unimaginable pain and feeling of weakness suddenly spread throughout Shirou Emiya's body. Just the moment he stepped in, he seemed to see Kiritsugu waving at him on the other side of the river.
Shirou Emiya half-knelt on the ground with great difficulty, his eyes fixed instantly.
These poisonous gases entered his body through his facial senses and were constantly invading him.
Shirou Emiya's trachea began to feel hot, and his eyes felt as if they were burning.
Chapter 200: End of the Road
“Aaaaaah! Trace on!!”
"Pfft——!"
The cold blade light passed in front of Shirou Emiya like a crescent moon.
All that could be heard was the sound of flesh being cut, and a standard-looking samurai sword slashed through his arm and into the ground.
Blood dripped from Emiya's arm drop by drop.
Black stripes continued to climb up from the wound on Shirou Emiya's arm like poisonous snakes, trying to devour him.
"Ugh!!!!"
The intense pain gave Shirou Emiya a headache and eyesore.
Purple venom and pitch-black streaks collided all over Emiya Shirou's body.
The two poisons were tearing at each other in Shirou Emiya's body, and neither was willing to give in, and they actually formed a situation of equal strength.
However, if the Hydra serum had not reduced the toxicity of Hydra to a certain extent and [Evil Ghost] had not isolated some of the poison gas, the toxicity of [One-Hit Kill●Murasame] that was projected out would have been quickly consumed by it.
Of course, there was something in Shirou Emiya's body that repaired him, otherwise he would have fallen in such a thick poisonous fog long ago.
However, thanks to the conflict between the two poisons, in addition to the intense pain that was almost unbearable for humans, Shirou Emiya felt that the feeling of weakness in his body began to gradually disappear.
Shirou gradually regained control of his body. As long as he could withstand the pain, he would be able to move in such a thick poisonous fog.
pain?
“Ugh!!!!!!!!!”
Emiya Shirou shouted loudly and stood up from the ground.
However, at this moment, an extremely huge black shadow appeared in the poisonous gas behind Emiya Shirou.
This piece of poisonous gas belongs to its chassis, and it will not wait for the enemy to come forward to deal with it.
"Roar----!"
Accompanied by a loud roar, the next moment the lower body of the black shadow was like a giant whip, cutting through the air and falling straight towards Shirou Emiya below.
"Boom!"
Amid the deafening roar, the stairs that looked similar to those at Ryudo Temple were not that solid. With just one blow, the stairs at the entrance of the Cathedral Church suddenly collapsed.
