Shirou's Grand Heroic Saga Chapter 11

After hastily burying the remains of the dead Master (the Puppet), Shirou quickly sent Sakura to sleep. He hoped this uneasy night would pass quickly, though he knew tomorrow wouldn't be peaceful either.

Chapter 6: Shirou: I've Mastered Hassan's Essence

The next morning, in the warehouse of the Emiya residence.

Shirou finally unearthed a box, which would be his trump card in this war.

Origin Bullet.

There were many powerful individuals among the other participants in the Holy Grail War, such as Cú Chulainn and Artoria. Although these Heroic Spirits were summoned after being turned into Cards and their strength was significantly reduced, they became even weaker if their compatibility was poor. However, these participants were still mages. If they pulled out some of their ultimate magic, he could easily collapse in such a match.

Naturally, his compatibility with his own Card was the best. Coupled with Sakura's ability to summon Rider, Medusa, who also had excellent compatibility with Sakura, the two of them could team up to fight other participants. With the Origin Bullet as a safety net, their advantage was quite significant.

Especially with Rider and Assassin already out of the picture, they now only had four enemies left.

Shirou's only concern was Gilgamesh's Card.

Held by Angelica.

After being transformed into a Puppet and losing her emotions, she could surprisingly use Gilgamesh's Card without fear of being backlashed by the King of Heroes' personality.

Therefore, arrogance and complacency would essentially never appear on her. Even if the Card weakened the Heroic Spirit's power, an unarrogant Gilgamesh would be the strongest existence in this battle.

Shirou even suspected that the unweakened Gilgamesh from the Fifth War might not be able to defeat an unarrogant but weakened Angelica.

Shirou was confident with just this Card. With Unlimited Blade Works activated, Shirou, in a sense, countered Gilgamesh. He could sever his hand before Gilgamesh could pull out Enuma Elish using his speed.

However, when combined with Einzbern's Teleportation Magic, it became extremely terrifying.

In the original work, Shirou's defeat stemmed from the final, almost unavoidable strike being turned against him by Einzbern's Teleportation Magic, causing him to miss his last chance.

If there was anything that could break through such a defense, based on Shirou's current knowledge, only one thing might be effective: the Origin Bullet.

"Senpai, are you preparing something? This place, um..." Sakura walked into the warehouse, covering her nose. It hadn't been cleaned in a long time, and Shirou was too lazy to deal with the air quality issues here when he practiced magic. The PM2.5 here was probably quite severe.

"Yeah, I'm making some pre-war preparations." Shirou took out the matching Javelin and stood up.

The matching Pistol was unbelievably heavy. It was truly a thirty-millimeter caliber giant gun. With that caliber, it could be used as a cannon!

"Sakura, how's Rider's Card working out? It should still be usable, right?" Shirou closed the box containing the Origin Bullet. He had everything he needed, and there were ten matching Origin Bullets. Even if Angelica appeared, he was confident he could get Sakura out safely.

"After I tried it, I found it very suitable. Just as Senpai said, it feels tailor-made for me. Also, does Senpai have any plans?" Sakura asked.

Plans?

Shirou did have some. Although he could summon King Hassan, it didn't mean he actually got along with such a brutal fighting style. He preferred to overcome force with skill. Furthermore, the time he could actually fight after summoning King Hassan was only a little over ten seconds, extremely short.

Emiya himself was not a Heroic Spirit who liked to charge headfirst. On the contrary, he was a skilled fighter who had different countermeasures for different Heroic Spirits, which was a style Shirou liked.

This was a case of analyzing specific situations specifically, the living soul of Marxism (big fog).

There were currently four enemies remaining: Lancer, Saber, Caster, and Berserker.

Among these, Lancer had a Class advantage against Archer, such as double damage or the like.
