Shirou's Grand Heroic Saga Chapter 14

The rampaging Berserker displayed agility completely at odds with his physique, closing the distance to Shirou in the blink of an eye. He raised his axe-sword, preparing to strike.

Shirou leaped back slightly. Setting aside how to kill the opponent twelve times over for now, he needed to focus on how to eliminate him just once.

The simplest way to take the opponent's first life was to use the weapon in his hand—God Slayer of Hundred Beasts!

Though Shirou's projection of God Slayer of Hundred Beasts was a fake, the moment he projected it, he gained the weapon's true method of use and Hercules's experience. If anything, his God Slayer of Hundred Beasts was even more powerful than the genuine article!

Who said fakes were weaker than the real thing? A fake that wasn't stronger than the original wouldn't dare call itself a fake!

Seeing the enemy about to launch a new round of attacks, Shirou raised his greatsword high.

It was an aura like a swirling torrent of energy!

Locking onto the target: upper arm, collarbone, trachea... thigh.

Lock-on complete. God Slayer of Hundred Beasts—Ninelives Bladeworks!

The sword strike, like a vortex, hit Berserker. A full eight strikes were completed in an instant, converging in space. The eight attacks were launched and landed simultaneously—

This was the true form of God Slayer of Hundred Beasts's sword technique!

Under such a powerful attack, Berserker was instantly reduced to a cripple, but soon, his entire body glowed like red-hot iron, even emitting steam.

The Twelve Labors had activated.

While the sword technique of God Slayer of Hundred Beasts was incredibly powerful, unfortunately, after the attack, it rendered Berserker immune to subsequent strikes of the same nature.

This massive axe-sword had fulfilled its mission. The next step was—projection.

"Traceon!" Two spears (brushes) appeared in Shirou's hands: Yellow Rose of Ill Omen and Red Rose of Purification.

The magic cost to project these two weapons was not high, which was a significant reason for him to project them. Of course, an even more important reason was that he wanted to test how much this card had been weakened and what kind of attack could actually wound Berserker.

The projection effect reduced the Noble Phantasm's original rank by one level; A-rank became B-rank, and B-rank became C-rank.

Therefore, the original Red A would have to project an A-rank Noble Phantasm to have an effective hit against Hercules.

These two weapons were B-rank Noble Phantasms. When projected, they would become C-rank. If they were effective, Shirou would have his confidence.

Berserker, who had been reduced to a cripple, quickly recovered, even reattaching his severed limbs!

"Take this spear, Red Rose of Purification!"

Shirou charged at Berserker, thrusting the red spear forward. Berserker, unable to dodge, could only block with his hands.

Blood flowed slowly from Berserker's arms, dyeing the Red Rose of Purification even redder.

He pulled the spear out and retreated.

Effective!

Shirou smiled. "Feel what it's like to have two brushes!"

Author's Notes:

The two brushes have appeared. It's so difficult to kill Brother B normally~~~~~~~~~~~
