Heroic Spirit: I, Shinji, have tried my best.

The collision of the two attacks produced a violent explosion, and the resulting shock wave blew away all the surrounding water vapor, and the field of vision suddenly became clear.

When the air currents around him gradually died down, Shinji left the tree trunk that had been blown into pieces and stood on an open space within the explosion range.

In front of him, a small sun covered in golden light slowly descended from the sky, looking at Shinji with calm eyes.

I turned my head and glanced back. Vlad was riding a horse and holding a spear, slowly approaching... Achilles also followed from the side...

"Oh~ This lineup is really luxurious..."

"..."

Shinji seemed to sense no danger and complained to the others in a relaxed manner, but they made no effort to reply.

Seeing this, the frivolous smile on Shinji's face gradually disappeared, and his expression returned to normal. The surrounding environment suddenly became eerily quiet...

"Susu..."

In the distant woods that had not yet been affected by the battlefield, the sound of leaves and branches being blown by the wind could be faintly heard.

Alfred and Frankenstein found Chiron who was alone. The three of them watched the battlefield that looked like a cowboy showdown from afar. They were all very nervous at the moment.

"Gu..."

Ah Fu swallowed subconsciously, because he had been trying to concentrate so hard that his mind was a little distracted.

At this moment, the four people who were in a stalemate disappeared instantly!

"Qiang!"

The next moment, Karna's and Achilles' spear tips collided and suddenly appeared at the place where Shinji was just now, but at this time Shinji had already jumped high and avoided the combined attack of the two.

"【King of Capital Punishment】!"

Bright red magic flowed in Vlad's hands, and suddenly countless black stakes shot out from the ground and shot towards Shinji in the sky.

"Susanoh!"

Because his body had not yet recovered from the inertia of the jump, Shinji was unable to avoid this swift attack for a moment, and immediately activated the Susanoo skeleton to protect himself.

The black stakes that attacked from all directions could only leave a sound when hitting Susanoo. After all, the single destructive power of the black stakes was insufficient and they could not even break the basic skeleton of Susanoo.

"My attacks are more than just these..."

"Um!?"

Vlad's voice came from behind. Turning around, he saw that he was stepping on a black pile and coming to Shinji's side. The blade in his hand, like a utility knife, stabbed straight out...

[It's a normal straight stab... This level of attack is not enough to break Susanoo's defense...]

"Pfft!"

"Nani?"

A streak of bright red blood was drawn out by Vlad's spear blade, and Shinji looked at the shattered Susanoo in disbelief...

After several flips in the air, his body fell to the ground. He raised his hands to cover his waist, where there was a bloody hole that was bleeding continuously.

Shinji stared at the spear in Vlad's hand, which was still covered with his blood, and recalled the paper-like Susanoo...

"It's that gun... The concept of [Piercing] actually has the attribute of [Armor Breaking]? It seems that I was too confident in the information I knew..."

He shook his head and sighed. It was a big taboo to underestimate the opponent in a battle.

Then he took his hand away, and the wound on his waist that had been bleeding wildly a few seconds ago had now completely healed!

Then he swung his hand to his side, and black mud spurted out from the palm of his hand, finally straightening out and condensing into the shape of a black knife.

Shinji held up the hilt of the sword with both hands, and stared at the three people opposite him, each holding a spear, in the reflection of the blade...

Three Lancers? Interesting!

He tapped the ground lightly with his toes, and when the moment came, he rushed out in an instant. The gravel ground under his feet seemed not to react at all, and only gradually broke apart after he went out.

Karna's eyes were solemn, and he took the initiative to rush forward to fight with Shinji. Because his attributes were not the strongest among the three of them, but he did not have any fatal weaknesses, and was most suitable to fight with Shinji...

"Qiang!"

The spear and the blade collided again, and the flashing sparks reflected the faces of the two men. As soon as the confrontation began, Karna was obviously suppressed by the black knife, and his body kept retreating backwards.

"It's amazing."

Even the usually expressionless Little Sun was completely shocked by Shinji's strength at this moment. No matter how shocking something is, one can only truly experience it when one is facing it.

This was certainly the case with Karna.

"As for those who possess such power, they are nothing special from what I have seen... My enemy, you are someone who is worthy of my all!"

"Wow!"

The blazing flames ignited on Karna's spear, and the fierce flames sprayed backwards madly with Karna as the center, instantly reversing the original disadvantage.

"Heh... your compliment is really strange, but I don't think anything can stop me after coming this far!"

"Amaterasu!"

Black flames attached to Shinji's blade. In contrast to Karna's bright and hot flames, this black flame seemed depressing and gloomy, but the high temperature released from it was no less.

Two flames, one black and one yellow, collided and intertwined with each other. The situation that had just been pulled back by Karna was reversed again. The black flame of Amaterasu burned more and more vigorously, and was even attached to the golden flame, as if to burn everything in front of it!

But this is a battlefield, and it was destined from the beginning that this would not be a place where fair victory is achieved.

"【King of Capital Punishment】!"

"Pfft!"

"!?"

Shinji looked down at the black spikes sticking out of his chest. It was as if he was hit by a jutsu, with black spikes piercing out of his body one after another.

It was precisely because of the curse that Vlad had just shot that the concept of [piercing] was forced upon him...

Due to the damage to his internal organs and the fact that he was fighting with someone, he immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood. He also hesitated for a moment in the confrontation with Karna... but it was only for a moment.

“Hahahaha…Okay!”

Shinji raised his head, his face did not show any sign of weakness, but instead became extremely excited.

"This is the battle I want. This is the battle that will allow me to fight with all my strength!"

Karna felt something was wrong when he saw the other party's slightly crazy look.

Sure enough, the next moment a black and red magic light cannon burst out from the blade. The strong impact force instantly broke the stalemate between the two and directly pushed the little sun out.

"[Sun, transform into armor]!"

Karna's surface was stained with a layer of golden halo, and the golden armor on his left and right shoulders blocked his body, resisting the light waves containing terrifying magical power.

With both feet buried in the soil, he dragged backwards for hundreds of meters before slowly stopping. When he finally got to the place behind him, the ground in front of him was plowed into a deep pit!

After Shinji blasted Karna away with a cannon, he did not pursue the victory. He raised his sword to block Achilles' downward attack, and his body kept retreating, and finally stood on a high ground...

"It's not good to let you guys besiege me all the time. After all, the Holy Grail War can't be fought by only a group of Lancers..."

"…What are you going to do?"

Shinji pulled out the black stump in his body, and white mist came out of the wound, and it recovered in a few seconds.

He twisted his neck and put his hands together. Suddenly, there was a twist behind Shinji's back. Several wooden protrusions shot out and fell to the ground, turning into several other Shinjis, but each with a different shape...

“…That’s it!”

Among the several clones of Shinji that flew out, one held the Kurokusagi sword and was covered in red and black armor covered in black mud;

A person holding a fairway jade stretched and transformed into a pitch-black spear;

One of them activated the Half-Life Body Susanoo, holding a huge purple bow, pulling the string and aiming;

One put his palms together, ready to release a ninjutsu at any time;

A person emitting black energy, with a black sword wrapped with red and black magic light cannons;

One of them held a dagger and hid in the darkness with the help of [Breath Blocking], leaving only a pair of strange eyes emitting a faint light.

In the end, Shinji's true form directly activated the complete form of Susanoo, flapped his wings and flew into the sky...

"The second round will begin next. I unilaterally declare that the 4.5th Holy Grail War will begin now!"
