He had been pointing at Gina like that just now, and she didn't react at all, so why was she suddenly surprised now?
In fact, it was mainly because Gina was too angry just now. She was only the second in the world, but she dared to mock me.
Although she saw Shinji Matou's strange hands, she did not realize it at the first moment.
It wasn't until later that I suddenly realized it.
"It's okay, it's okay!"
Sakura also showed a very gentle smile, slowly spoke to comfort her, and gently stroked Ginako's forehead.
At this moment, Emiya Shirou was pushing open the door to the arena.
On the next day, the terminal received a message that the first code key had been generated, and Shirou Emiya naturally headed for the arena as soon as possible.
Chapter 568: The Incredible Plain
Although there is only one entrance to the arena for contestants from the same school building, once they enter the arena they will be randomly teleported to a safer location in the arena.
This is to prevent someone from setting a trap at the entrance, so that the contestants who enter the arena will be killed without any reaction by the person who set the trap.
Therefore, every time Shirou Emiya entered the arena, he would appear from a safer location in the maze.
If you want to leave, you don’t have to go back to the original place, but find the light ball in the maze that is responsible for sending the contestants out.
When the contestant touches the ball of light and decides in his mind that he wants to leave the arena, the ball of light will teleport the contestant and his servant to the entrance of the arena.
By the way, the location and number of light balls serving as exits are not fixed every day and will be randomly refreshed in various places in the maze.
So when you step into the maze, you must be prepared that you may not be able to leave for several hours.
If they are well prepared and can leave at any time, then this arena will not be considered a test for those masters.
However, as the strong and scorching sunlight shone down from the sky, Emiya Shirou put his hands in front of himself and slowly opened his eyes.
Everything that appeared before his eyes once again made Emiya Shirou fall into deep confusion.
"Can this place really be called a plain?"
In Shirou Emiya's impression, the plain should be the Holy Grail War that he participated in when he was in Fariagni.
The extremely vast area in front of the black castle.
A place that is boundless and where you can clearly see everything happening on the field is called a plain.
But what appeared before our eyes now could only be described as a forest that borrowed the name of a plain.
Dozens of meters high emerald green grass rose from the ground, completely blocking out everything around it.
It is unclear whether my body shrank the moment I stepped into the arena, or whether the grass in this area was originally so huge.
As far as the eye could see, it was all lush and green, and there was no way to see anything around through the surrounding grass.
Even the extremely scorching sun hanging in the sky could only barely shine through the countless standing weeds, providing a certain degree of light in the passage around Emiya Shirou.
Among these dense grasses, there is still a smooth passage like a maze.
As if to prove that this is a plain, the surrounding ground has no ups and downs at all, just like a straight ruler, extremely neat, an extremely hardcore plain.
What is even more strange is that the ground is not simply endless land, but also lush green lawns.
It’s just that the grass on the ground beneath my feet isn’t as tall as the surrounding grass.
The maze formed in this way is several times more troublesome and dangerous than the previous island.
If I were to ask why——————
“Tsk, tsk! Tsk, tsk!!!!”
The sound of a breeze stirring the grass could be heard from around the path, but Emiya Shirou knew very well that grass dozens of meters high could not possibly be moved by a breeze.
This kind of noise could only be caused by the monsters that appeared in this arena.
"Roar--!"
The grass was suddenly lifted up, and a beast like a tiger opened its bloody mouth, exhaling an extremely strong smell of blood. It jumped out from behind Shirou Emiya and bit down fiercely on Shirou Emiya's head.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Several gunshots were heard in front of Emiya Shirou. Not only did he not turn his head, he even pointed the two guns in his hands, one black and one white, forward.
A creature that looked like a mixture of four kinds of monsters waved its sharp claws and tried to tear Emiya Shirou apart.
Naturally, Shirou Emiya also aimed at the waving claws, and through the ricochet, he accurately hit the monster that attacked him from behind.
Then it exploded.
The forging skills learned in Orario can naturally also be used to add to one's own bullets.
Fatal injuries cannot defeat these monsters. They can only be solved by accumulating a certain amount of damage, so just stack a certain amount of damage.
These bullets were forged by Shirou Emiya in his own room with explosive properties.
The quantity is not large, only the amount of two or three magazines. On the one hand, bullets are not swords after all, and will consume a large part of Shirou Emiya's magic power.
Another aspect is that the dangerous things in this maze are not the monsters, but the servants.
These explosive bullets cannot cause effective damage to the servants, and Shirou Emiya only uses them to deal with these monsters.
Even without enchanted bullets, Emiya Shirou could easily take care of these monsters.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
After quickly dealing with the two monsters that suddenly appeared, the sound of piercing was heard from the surroundings.
Shirou Emiya's figure quickly turned to the side, and two bundles of scarlet silk threads passed by Shirou Emiya and fell heavily to the ground.
"Blowing darts!?"
Looking at the darts flying from the surrounding bushes, Emiya Shirou calmly projected a dagger with a chain.
Who knows how many monsters are hiding in these bushes, and with the constant shaking sound, it is difficult to determine the monsters' locations.
Not to mention judging those long-range beings who can accurately see themselves through the grass and launch attacks.
If there is someone who can have excellent vision in the dark environment, then the surrounding grass that is tens of meters high will be an excellent hiding place for those servants.
Especially for Servants of the Assassin class, this place is probably their paradise, where they can kill the participating Masters without anyone noticing.
Shirou Emiya's hearing was not that good, and from the noisy sound of the swaying grass, he could only barely determine the locations of some of the monsters.
In most cases, when the monsters launched attacks, Shirou Emiya used his long combat experience to react quickly and fight back.
It is not a prediction made by knowing the monster's location in advance.
Although Shirou Emiya can avoid fighting to a certain extent by flying.
But in such a dense bush that blocked out the sun, Shirou Emiya had no way of determining his position and that of the code key by flying.
After flying away from the bushes and looking down, all I could see was the emerald green grass. It was even difficult to find the road hidden under the bushes, let alone determine the location of the code key.
Chapter 569: Romania's King, Warrior
Now Emiya Shirou can only rely on himself, using the rapier that enhances his luck, to find a way to reach the location of his code key.
It's not that he hadn't thought about just rushing into the bushes nearby.
But there was no sunlight able to shine in, it was extremely dark, the vision was greatly limited, and it was impossible to tell the direction.
What's more, there are countless monsters that will launch attacks.
It is easy to block an open attack, but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. Even the heroic spirits in legends can be hit because they are unable to react in time to the sudden attack.
An experienced warrior can be killed by a rookie who has just stepped onto the battlefield.
Not to mention Shirou Emiya, who had only experienced a year of fighting.
After a battle that lasted for several hours, Shirou Emiya finally found his own code key, and the evil spirit on his body had several marks of being torn by sharp claws.
The secret key is generated in advance, and there is no way for other entities to move the secret key.
The only thing luck brought to Shirou Emiya was that it allowed him to greatly shorten the time it took to find the code key.
Rely on luck to find the correct path to the code key.
However, since the surroundings are covered by this grass, it would be possible to find the location of the secret key faster by lighting it with fire.
Shirou Emiya had only thought about this possibility, he had no intention of actually setting the fire.
"Huh? You found the code key? Hehehehe——"
Just when Shirou Emiya was about to look for a ball of light that could allow him to leave the arena, a pair of eyes with a sticky touch that was different from murderous intent stared at him.
It was a voice that sounded mature, crazy, and yet weak.
At some point, the overly thin clown, whose battle name was written as Lan Lujun, and her Seqirvant stood there.
He was a man with a red cloak hanging on his shoulders. He had pale hair and was covered in pitch-black armor that was full of spikes, as if he didn't want anyone to get close to him.
A fierce fighting spirit burst out from Shirou Emiya the moment he saw the man, enveloping him deeply.
The man in front of him was madly showing his overwhelming fighting spirit towards Shirou Emiya.
However, for some reason, Emiya Shirou felt an extremely familiar aura from this man.
It was as if I had seen him somewhere before.
Almost at the moment he saw his appearance, Shirou Emiya thought of the leader of the Black Side, which he once served - Lancer, Vlad III.
Shirou Emiya could say with absolute certainty that he was an extremely noble king and the object of his respect.
However, the man in front of him looked somewhat similar to Vlad III whom he knew, so Shirou Emiya was unable to make a prepared judgment at the first time.
After all, the Vlad III that he knew exuded the aura of a king and existed as a king.
The white-haired man in front of him was like a veteran warrior, exuding unimaginable fighting spirit, and he existed as a warrior.
For a moment, Emiya Shirou did not dare to make an accurate judgment.
“It’s a miracle!”
Before Emiya Shirou could make any move, the white-haired man standing next to Lanlu-kun spoke first.
He looked extremely excited and a little crazy, as if he was mentally ill and wanted to say something.
In addition to the strong desire to fight against Shirou Emiya in his eyes, there was also incomprehensible anger towards Shirou Emiya.
"It's a miracle, it's a miracle, how can I say it's not a miracle!"
"Is that so, my old enemy? What a fate, what a test!"
"I was betrayed by the partner I devoted my life to on our wedding night!"
"I devoted my soul to the faith, but was rewarded with beheading!"
He roared, denouncing the world for its injustice towards him and the betrayal of his faith.
"Hmm, you tried so hard, but you were assassinated by a noble from your own country?"
Lanlu-kun didn't seem to care at all that they were revealing their information to Shirou Emiya, and facing the white-haired man's anger, she responded to him with a clown-like smile.
The words and tone seemed to be mocking the tragic fate of his servant.
But he did not feel any anger at what Lanlu-kun said, and continued to speak to Shirou Emiya.
"Yes, my faith has been shattered like this. I have lost God's love and have been denied by God's love. All that is left is my fallen reputation!"
The white-haired man stretched out his hand as if he wanted to grab something.
"But——! Even though they were created as innocent monsters, these hands finally received true love!"
"Right, my wife! A Master who refuses to eat because of overeating, a poor woman who can only eat what she truly loves!"
"Just meeting you makes my gun boil with blood—"
When he said that he was created as an innocent monster, Emiya Shirou already understood that the warrior in front of him was the Vlad III he knew.
If Shirou Emiya had never met Vlad III, he would have no way of making a conclusion based on just a few words from him.
Just because of his appearance and the fact that he claimed to be an innocent monster created by Vlad III, another extremely well-known title - Dracula, Shirou Emiya was able to confirm the identity of the crazy man in front of him.
But perhaps because of the parallel universe, this Vlad is quite different from the one he knows.
Because according to the information collected by Shirou Emiya, there are two theories about Vlad III's death. One theory is that he died in a battle with the Ottoman Empire.
