Hundred Head Slayer

"Ooooh!"

Fierce roars echoed constantly within the cavern.

Facing the weak adventurers challenging it, Goliath responded with fury, relentlessly attacking the tiny enemies with its fists.

But it yielded no results.

The opponent seemed to be able to read its mind, repeatedly dodging its attacks.

And responding in kind.

Sacred Noble Phantasms, divine weapons, flew through the air and shot towards it.

Unlike the Magic attacks of Illusionary Collapse, the sharpness of the projected Noble Phantasms quickly left countless wounds on Goliath's body.

Crimson blood continuously flowed down its body.

Yet, its movements showed no signs of slowing down.

"Bang!"

Sensing the wind pressure by his ear and glancing at the iron fist that once again grazed him, Shirou Emiya rolled to the side on the ground, and as he did, he projected several more weapons and fired them.

The difference in levels was truly too great.

The opponent was far superior to him in every attribute.

Especially speed; if he couldn't predict the opponent's attacks and dodge in advance, he would have been hit long ago and bled profusely.

But "if" was unfortunate.

If it wasn't hit, it wasn't hit. Swinging the Greatsword in his hand, he aimed at the iron fist beside him and slashed with all his might, leaving another massive gash on Goliath's body.

Although his attacks couldn't be fatal, a wound was still a wound.

No matter how small, enough accumulated wounds would be fatal.

"Let's see how long you can last!"

With that, Shirou Emiya charged forward again, accompanied by over a dozen newly projected Noble Phantasms.

"So strong! Shirou is so strong!"

Watching Shirou Emiya's heroic figure in battle, Tiona couldn't stop exclaiming.

But the people around didn't find her noisy; instead, they followed her shouts, nodding unconsciously.

"If his enemy wasn't a large species like Goliath, but an LV.4 adventurer, he would have already won."

Anna chibi said with a slight pang in her heart.

As a top-tier adventurer in the Loki Familia's second rank, the cat-girl known as 'Noble Cat' felt a lingering fear.

What terrifying attacks.

She wasn't present the last time the Loki Familia's main force encountered Shirou Emiya. As a core member of the second unit, she, along with Lefia and others, had gone another way with Gareth.

Although she had heard tales of Shirou Emiya's heroic deeds from her companions afterward, she hadn't felt much reality to them.

After all, seeing is believing.

She had seen it now, and because of it, she had fallen into deep fascination.

'Effortlessly' dodging Goliath's attacks, accompanied by his charge, he unleashed dozens of divine weapons towards Goliath.

This heroic figure in battle deeply captivated her.

Not just her; the other girls in the Loki Familia also gazed at Shirou Emiya's figure with admiring eyes. In Shirou Emiya, they could always find something that attracted them, and they were deeply fascinated by it.

Perhaps this was the sign of attracting trouble with women.

Shirou Emiya, who was fighting intensely at this moment, was unaware that he had unknowingly attracted a large group of admirers.

"To toy with an LV.4 Floor Master at LV.2, Finn, could you do it?"

"No!"

In response to Riveria's question, Finn, with a slight smile on his lips, readily admitted his inferiority.

Stimulated by Shirou Emiya's heroic presence, he too wished he could find a powerful enemy and fight to his heart's content.

"Yes, who could have imagined such a thing? Shirou Emiya is truly a Hero!"

Gazing at Shirou Emiya's heroic figure, even Riveria's eyes were filled with brilliance.

And the other girls standing beside her were already completely infatuated.

Clutching her staff tightly to her chest, Lefia stared excitedly at her brother with eyes full of stars. This was the first time she had seen her brother fight with all his might.

This scene was deeply etched in her heart.

And Ais, standing beside her, gripped the sword in her hand tightly.

She also wanted to become a strong person like this.

"Shirou, so strong!"

"Ooooh!"

The roaring giant, the youth wielding a greatsword, weapons flying through the air.

This scene, composed of these three elements, was deeply etched into the hearts of the Loki Familia members.

Unaware that he was already being admired by everyone, Shirou Emiya continuously projected weapons while observing Goliath's condition.

"Honestly, I don't have a great affinity with this giant. My fighting style is better suited for humanoid opponents. After all, I don't have a decisive ultimate weapon."

Shirou Emiya's Projection Magic is powerful, capable of projecting almost any Noble Phantasm except for Divine Armaments.

However, his Magic Power does not allow him to do so.

Even though his Magic Power had increased several times its original amount with the boost from Divine Blessings, he still struggled with those Anti-City Noble Phantasms.

Still, for the giant, he had a better option.

"Ughhhh!"

"Watch this, Goliath, this is my full power."

"Appear, Verdant Horizon that Opens a Thousand Mountains!"

Infinite Magic Power formed the Noble Phantasm itself. Though merely a shell, a sword over ten meters long materialized out of thin air in Shirou Emiya's hand.

"What is that?"

Gazing at the greatsword in Shirou Emiya's hand, all the Loki Familia members were astonished. A greatsword over ten meters long was simply not a weapon a human could wield.

Yes, this was not a weapon a human could use; it was the armament of Deities.

Although his analytical abilities were enhanced under the Reinforcement of Divine Blessings, he was still unable to analyze Divine Armaments.

This was a miracle projected using templates from his past memories.

Even though it was just a shell, it was enough.

Through the manipulation of Magic Power, the greatsword floating in Shirou Emiya's hand thrust straight towards Goliath.

"Ooooh!"

Amidst a tragic roar, Verdant Horizon that Opens a Thousand Mountains pierced directly through Goliath's body, pinning it to the wall of the chamber.

Struggling desperately, it clenched the sword's body with its hands, seemingly trying to pull it out.

But Shirou Emiya would not give it the chance.

"Projection, begin!"

As Magic Power flowed, an axe-sword resembling a stone axe appeared in Shirou Emiya's raised right hand.

While this sword was far from as large as Verdant Horizon that Opens a Thousand Mountains, it was still as tall as a person.

Extending his left hand to also grip the hilt, Shirou Emiya shifted from wielding it one-handed to two-handed. He stomped his foot and swiftly moved towards Goliath.

"Can your immense Endurance withstand this blow?"

With his eyes burning with fierce Fighting Spirit, Shirou Emiya swung the axe-sword with all his might at Goliath, who was pinned to the wall.

"Hundred Head Slayer!"

Accompanied by the sound of air being sliced, nine sword marks were firmly engraved behind Goliath.

Extending from the ground to the wall behind Goliath, the nine massive sword marks displayed the power of that strike.

"Clang!"

As Goliath's massive body turned to ash, a large Magic Stone fell before Shirou Emiya.

But he paid it no mind. He turned his head to face his companions behind him and shouted, "Everyone, I succeeded!"
