Amidst the villagers fleeing in panic, he walked against the tide with unwavering determination and without the slightest hesitation. The magic circuits emanating from his right hand, now fueled by his choice, began to burn even hotter and surge even more fiercely!
It was only at this moment that Shirou fully realized why he had been unable to use the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya since he came to this world.
Because the power it bestows upon itself is a power born from the will to protect. It can only be used to burn everything in exchange for that one and only miracle power when protecting others and being willing to sacrifice everything to protect someone important.
Shirou once used this power to create a miracle on that snowy night, saving his sister Miyu and ending that despicable Holy Grail War overnight.
Now, he has used this power once again and is willing to sacrifice everything to protect his family in this world!
"Killing this dragon wouldn't be a problem, would it, Paul, Rudy?"
Shirou turned his head and looked at his father and younger brother.
Paul and Rudius didn't even realize what he meant for a moment. The two of them stood there blankly, forgetting that they were supposed to run away.
"Roar!"
Although the dragon in the distance could not understand human language, it could sense the arrogant attitude of this ant-like being from Shirou's actions.
How dare a mere, fragile human dare to challenge my noble self? This foolish courage alone ignited my intense anger, and I resolved to utterly crush Shirou!
"Boom!"
As the crimson dragon flapped its enormous wings, a violent gale swept up once more, carrying the massive monster into the sky, where it began to swirl.
It was clearly beginning to accumulate that exaggerated potential energy once again, deciding to crush Shirou to death with its massive body, just like it had done with Rudeus before.
Although the Red Dragon is enormous, it is by no means slow.
Such a short distance could be crossed by the other party in just a few seconds!
Shirou clearly understood this, so he simply took a deep breath, intending to end the battle within half a minute!
"Projection, loading!"
These are terms that are completely different from those of the past, and they also carry a completely different kind of power.
Since arriving in this world, Shirou has never fully utilized the power of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, nor has he ever used a true projection.
His past projections were merely sword magic developed based on the magic taught to him by Lokishi, using a mixture of multiple elemental magics.
The weapons created by that kind of magic are not only fragile, but also soulless. Most importantly, magic cannot replicate weapons as well as the experience and secrets of the weapon's wielder, unlike true projection magic.
In contrast, the true projection magic mastered by the Heroic Spirit Emiya is incredibly abnormal. It can not only copy weapons, but also the combat experience and secret techniques of the weapon wielder.
Creative concept, basic framework, constituent materials, production techniques, relying on experience, to reproduce the projection!
The true skills honed by the Heroic Spirit Emiya through countless trials possess a unique power that even top-tier Heroic Spirits cannot match.
If one masters the art to its fullest extent, one can even create a Realm of Limits—a mental world constructed from countless swords, known as Unlimited Blade Works.
However, Shirou does not want to use Unlimited Blade Works right now, partly because Unlimited Blade Works consumes too much magical energy, and his weak body may not be able to withstand its consumption, and also because in the current situation, projecting the barrier of the Unlimited Blade Works will not give him the upper hand when facing the Red Dragon.
As an enemy, the Crimson Dragon is a single entity with physical strength that is absolutely unmatched by humans.
Therefore, to defeat such an opponent, what is needed is not absolute dominance in terms of quantity, but a single weapon that can create absolute destructive power and defeat the opponent!
In Shirou's memory, there was only one such weapon!
"Projection, start!"
Shirou suddenly stopped breathing. He poured all his magical power into his right arm, and the brilliant magic circuits seemed to completely absorb his life force and began to burn.
At the same time, a huge weapon began to take shape on Shirou's raised arm.
It was less a sword and more a huge stone axe. The handle of the axe head was exceptionally heavy, so much so that its weight alone would be enough to crush an ordinary human.
However, Shirou is currently using a projection loading system from the Heroic Spirit Emiya.
Therefore, he can not only copy weapons, but also the skills and superhuman strength of the original users of those weapons.
"Kacha!"
However, even if the projection itself did not have any problems, Shirou's excessive projection was further burning his life and soul, and the gray-white corner of his hair became more obvious and even began to spread outward.
His body and skeleton began to crackle and pop due to the intense load!
But he did not hesitate at all and continued the projection firmly.
Finally, the complete Stone Axe Sword appeared in his hand. It was one of the most powerful weapons in Shirou Emiya's memory, a weapon from the Servant Berserker, the nameless axe sword used by the legendary demigod Hercules.
Of course, more than the weapon itself, what Shirou is projecting right now is Hercules' technique when using this weapon!
That's a technique that could even destroy the mythical, immortal hydra Hydra in a single blow!
It is the perfect weapon to fight against the Crimson Dragon!
Chapter 85 Shooting Down a Hundred Heads!
"Boom--!"
"Boom--!"
"..."
As Shirou created the enormous stone axe, its immense magical power surged forth, creating intricate patterns in the air that continuously spread outwards.
Thump, thump...
The constant beating of the heart, combined with the sweeping sound of the broad storm, seemed to cause the earth to resonate, creating a strange, intense heat.
"Roar!!!"
The roar of the red dragon came from the sky.
It was a sound that could make your heart feel like it was about to burst, and your mind tremble.
Shirou felt no fear whatsoever at the terrifying sound waves that could stop a normal person's heart from beating, or rather, fear was meaningless at this moment.
There is only one way to fight a powerful enemy: create your own ultimate weapon!
Strengthen, strengthen, and strengthen again...
Push your unique ability to its limit!
"!!!"
The sound, like a string snapping, echoed in my mind.
Shirou knew that was the limit of humanity. The essence of humanity was breaking down. Every time he used this power beyond his limits, he would be further eroded by the nature of the Heroic Spirit Emiya, becoming something between a human and a Heroic Spirit, unable to have an ordinary life anymore.
But he didn't care about the consequences.
At this moment, only one thing remained in Shirou's mind: to eliminate the opponent before him and protect the people he wanted to protect!
"Roar!"
The red dragon's roar grew even louder.
Shirou could even clearly feel the murderous intent rushing towards him.
However, that murderous intent was mixed with some strange emotion.
It was obvious that the red dragon was wary of Shirou. Although Shirou had only created a projection of the Nameless Axe Sword and had not yet used the projection's power, the red dragon still sensed a certain wariness from the ever-expanding magical energy turbulence emanating from the boy.
Under normal circumstances, what it should be doing right now is leaving this place; there is no need for it to get entangled with an unknown human boy.
However, a strange impulse arose in the heart of the red dragon. A desire that came from the depths of its heart but whose source could not be found forced it to disregard everything and launch an attack on Shirou.
Moreover, the Red Dragon didn't really care about Shirou's abilities and didn't think that the other party could hurt him.
To it, this human boy was far too fragile. Even if he possessed some special abilities, he would be severely injured if it were to even lightly brush against him.
Compared to dragons, humans are indeed such fragile creatures...
"Boom!"
Then, the red dragon flapped its wings dramatically, circled in the sky for a while, and then, like a red meteor, rushed towards the ground.
His target was Shirou, who stood still and showed no sign of running away!
"Are you coming?"
Shirou was not surprised but delighted upon seeing this.
Now that he has projected the Nameless Axe Sword and is ready to use that ultimate technique, his biggest worry is not that the Crimson Dragon will not attack him. On the contrary, what he fears most is that the Crimson Dragon will not take the initiative to attack him.
After all, the power of the Nameless Axe Sword lies in close combat. If the opponent maintains a certain distance from you, then even if you want to use it, it will be restricted.
The biggest opportunity is when the opponent tries to defeat you head-on!
"Projection complete!"
Shirou took a deep breath, and at this moment, all twenty-seven magic circuits on his arm were fully activated, focusing on the next attack!
Three seconds—
The storm of the Crimson Dragon is already upon us, almost within reach!
Two seconds—
Shirou, facing the enormous creature that was already radiating terrifying pressure, raised his jet-black greatsword high!
The massive stone axe, which had no sharp edges whatsoever, suddenly unleashed a torrent-like force!
In order to make his attack reach its target, Shirou took a step forward and launched an attack on the red dragon in front of him, unleashing eight completely different attacks in an instant!
"Kacha!"
Although it was a fragile sound, the sound came from eight different parts of the body at the same time.
Upper jaw, neck, skull, left wing, right wing, sternum, left leg bone, right leg bone...
But this is certainly not the limit; everything is merely a final preparation for that ultimate strike.
"Projection complete!"
"Now, shoot down a hundred!"
The moment the sound faded.
The giant stone axe in Shirou's hand swung down at supersonic speed, reaching a speed that was even beyond the reach of the naked eye!
"——!!!"
Before the red dragon could even react, it felt excruciating pain surge through its entire body.
That was a fear that transcended even death!
"Isn't that enough?!"
Shirou looked at the red dragon, whose vitality was still tenacious, and who had survived eight slashes without dying, and a knowing look appeared on his face.
After all, this is the most powerful race in the world. The dragon race has such strong vitality that even if they experience a death that is shattered to pieces, they can still heal.
All it takes is time.
But now, Shirou will definitely not give the other side any time!
His projection combat technique is just one final strike away from completion!
"Haa ...
There was no superfluous reaction, only pure power.
Shirou took another step forward, wielding a weapon even larger than his own body, and leaped into the air, using inertia and potential energy to accelerate his spin, thereby further enhancing the power and speed of his slashes.
Through projection loading, Shirou essentially gained the combat experience of the great hero Hercules, making it easy for him to perform even this level of maneuver!
"boom!"
The greatsword swirled in the air, unleashing a sonic boom that made one's chest tighten.
"boom!"
Fear finally flickered in the red dragon's eyes, and it realized that death was imminent. It desperately tried to defend itself, attempting to protect its vitals and even try to dodge and escape the human's terrifying attack.
However, since it had just charged at full speed towards Shirou, even if the Red Dragon slowed down, it couldn't reduce its speed and could only charge straight towards Shirou.
At the same time, Shirou's attack didn't even consider aiming for vital points.
His target is the entire red dragon!
No matter how strong the dragon's vitality is, or how many attacks it can withstand, all it needs to do is use destructive power that surpasses all of that to instantly reduce the opponent's life to zero!
"——!!!"
There were no unnecessary steps, and no unexpected events.
