[Emergency Quest: Last Chance]
Details: Your student, Miki Sayaka, has turned into a Witch (fake Quasi-Demon). Her guilt hidden deeply within her had continuously bothered her until she couldn't take it anymore after 10 days. Her Level 5 Heart Demon had turned her into something more horrifying, and it's your duty as her mentor to bring her back.
Objective: Defeat Sayaka and halt her evolution in the next 30 minutes
Reward/s: 50,000,000 Soul Points, 1 Doppel Awakening Chance (Student), 3 Semi-Librarian Role [Librarian of the End] (Students), 5 Mastery Transfer (Student)
Shiro had only glanced at it before focusing on the scene in his sights.
The surroundings is very static, with it changing from the normal sights to something akin to a classical stage with red seats. Messed-up beings were playing as the orchestra. Some are playing the violin while there's also someone wearing a tuxedo whilst playing a grand piano.
Still, the only thing that didn't change is the dreary atmosphere that permeated the entire city. The same rainy weather hit Mitakihara Town. The ground shook, producing some small cracks in the road. The wind currents became stronger.
Simply put, it is a disaster in the making.
However, the most terrifying fact is the thousands of flying swords aimed straight at him.
[Fifth Gate]!
[Hell Flames Ignition]!
Without hesitation, he went to one of his strongest states. White flames appeared in a hundred meter radius away from him, burning the orchestra silhouettes that surrounded him. It also cleansed the evil presence in his area, removing the slight suppression that he felt from it.
Sou-!
Sou-!
Sou-!
Right now, Shiro felt as if he's facing the Miyuverse Shirou—just like how Angelica did during their final fight. If that wasn't enough, there are also shadows of cartwheels behind them.
[Infinity]!
All of a sudden, the swords and cartwheels had stopped, as if there's an invisible barrier blocking them. The truth is that... they are never destined to cross the infinite distance that separates them from Shiro.
Though, this costed Shiro 5,000 Mana. Thankfully, he has the [Energy Box (S)] that stored 700,000 Mana/Aura within it. Since it is stored there, he didn't need to absorb the mana from the surroundings, which will take him an entire 3 seconds for 7,500 mana.
As for this time? It took him 0.1 seconds to do so.
Casting a [Space Jump], he went right in front of Sayaka's Witch form that looked like a mermaid. She held the twin white and black daggers, the Kanshou and Byakuya. She managed to project it after 3 days of [Structural Analysis] and Shiro's guidance, which spoke volumes of her talents. Even if she takes more than 3 minutes to project them each time, it didn't lower her accomplishments.
Only Shirou Emiya is the one who can do it instantly as he has [Unlimited Blade Works] where he stores his swords into.
Shiro doesn't know why, but there's something in her that allowed her to do this. After all, projecting Noble Phantasms are supposedly something very difficult to do.
The Witch swung her blades in a cross slash, but it was stopped by [Infinity] once more.
As it happened, Shiro charged up his black blade with Aura and Mana, which is naturally twice the efficiency than before. He charged it up, refilled using the [Energy Box], and charged it up once more. He also refilled the [Energy Box] as this all happened, making him an inexhaustible source of energy right now.
After stalling the Witch's attack for 5 seconds, he had now charged it up with more than 100,000 Aura and Mana. This makes it a total of 200,000 energy units!
'This is it.'
Black light covered the sword that he's holding while he held sheathed right below his waist. It is something that came along with his sword, but it didn't got used much since he usually stored the sword in his soul.
The world slowed down when he utilized his wisdom stat to the maximum. His concentration went to a godly state, to the point that he sensed everything with extreme clarity.
The atomic composition of the wind, the sensation felt by his skin, and most importantly...
'Concepts.'
What he saw in the Witch's figure are concepts—the powers accessible to a god's.
A sword.
An illusion.
Evil.
These are the prominent concepts that he saw in her visage. Ironically, this made him less confident in his attack, but it is not something that he can pull out.
'Overwhelming her with mana... If this doesn't work...' Shiro thought before he suddenly cut it off. 'I'll think of it later..!'
[Armament Convergence]!
[Ittou Shura]..!
The next moment, blinding black light engulfed the entire area. He had already undone [Infinity] right before he did that, thus it managed to came in contact with her.
A total of 400,000 Magical Power, together with ten times his current strength, hit her. Coupled with the varying intents that bordered Concepts, Shiro's sure that it can damage her...
Until he felt a strong force of attraction aimed at him. It messed up his internal organs before he could even put up any barrier to it. He hadn't expected that she wouldn't be fazed like any other intelligent beings.
'Shit..!'
Six blades that can be easily distinguished from others are besides him. Three Kanshous and three Byakuyas formed a strong attraction field with him as the center.
Together with his slightly weakened state from [Ittou Shura], all he can do is to use his [Aurora Curtain] because the space became denser due to that field.
(A/N: An attraction field is akin to a gravity field. Gravity affects both mass and those without mass, such as space.)
Fortunately, [Aurora Curtain] wasn't limited by space nor time, thus he managed to reappear a few dozen meters away from her. Having a breathing time, he redeployed [Infinity] before he time slowed down for him.
The first thing that he noticed is the Witch's, no, the fake Quasi-Demon obliterating his weapon intents that injured her. His perception of time became very slow, but its as if the power that she used to do so is not relevant in time, albeit Sayaka is also frozen in his perception.
'That... Quasi-Demon, what is it..?'
When Shiro saw the 'Quasi-Demon (Fake) in the prompt, he already readied himself. He knew that normal Witches are weak in front of the him now, but Mami told him before that Walpurgisnacht is on 'another level'.
Since Sayaka became the second strongest, he thought that [Ittou Shura], the pre-derived form of [Ittou Rasetsu], is enough to at least wound her. This is considering that he's testing her depths, not a sure-kill attack.
[Ittou Rasetsu (SSR)]
Details: A special technique created by a failed knight. Without any talent, he is left with no choice but to go through another way. This technique ignores the human's basic survival instincts, allowing them to bring out power that far surpasses them. With this technique, the overall capabilities of the user will be increased by 100 times. However, a terrifying backlash awaits them in proportion to the duration of usage and their base strength.
Note: Its pre-derived form is [Ittou Shura] which has a tenth of its effect.
Ten times.
His Physique, Aura, and Dexterity stats had broken through above 200,000 at this state. Even Shiro didn't expect that he would feel that powerful, but it isn't even enough to fatally injure Sayaka's Quasi-Demon (fake) form!
'Wait a f*ck*ng minute...'
As he observed the power that Sayaka used to heal herself from injuries, it reminded him of one thing. After analyzing it for a few minutes (in his perception), everything clicked out.
It is similar to Touka's reality bending.
'F*ck.'
