Waiting Online, Urgent!

With a crisp sound, she felt no pain, nor was she sent flying. Instead, her vision went dark, as though something had appeared in front of her, casting her in shadow—Shirou Emiya?

Chapter 15—Waiting Online, Urgent!

"Why aren't you running? Are you waiting to get cut down?" Shirou sighed. "I really don't know what to say about you. You're so sharp-tongued and stubborn, but now you've gone all weak. You're so stupidly stunned you can't even run."

Looking at the figure before her, Beatrice didn't know what to say. She didn't even understand why Shirou had saved her.

"Why? Why did you save me?" Beatrice swayed as she got to her feet.

Shirou glanced sideways. He couldn't exactly say it was to avoid changing the script, could he? Well, of course he was joking. To some extent, he simply felt they shared the same affliction.

"What are you planning to do while you're like this? Berserker is about to—"

Shirou was having trouble holding on, so he hurriedly retreated with Beatrice.

"B-but, according to you, Lord Julian is definitely going to die, right? Then... then how could I possibly stop?"

"That's right. But what the hell does your weakness have to do with me? Don't you like Julian? If you like him, then find a way! Fight! Instead of standing here talking nonsense. If you love him, go find a way! If you can't even do that, how dare you say you love him? If it were me, I'd slash straight at Darius's head. Whoever tried to stop me, I'd take them down—just like how I entered the Holy Grail War to save Miyu! Whoever tries to stop you from saving Julian, take them down! Trace On!"

Another sword appeared in Shirou's hand. There weren't many A-rank Noble Phantasms, but there were plenty of B-rank ones. If all he needed was to block attacks, even C-rank Noble Phantasms could barely manage it.

As an Archer, he couldn't use BBB+EX. But AAA+EX wasn't bad either. At least he could fill his NP gauge and unleash a Noble Phantasm, right?

He yanked Beatrice back sharply, and several arrows appeared in his hand.

He could only be an unqualified archer for a while.

—And, while he was at it, serve as a rather incompetent tank for Sakura in the sky.

"Hey, hey, girl, you're willing to be this ruthless toward your own man?" Lancer roared anxiously.

"If it is Senior's request, then I will do it! I believe in Senior!"

Sakura's eyes, now gray, glanced at Shirou as she pulled on the reins.

Her magecraft talent far surpassed Shirou's. Whether in the number or quality of her magical circuits, she outclassed him. Releasing a Noble Phantasm was no problem for her.

The Pegasus beneath her was now radiating a pillar of white light, making the winter night as bright as day.

She pulled the reins in her hands, and the Pegasus immediately dove downward.

Sensing danger, Berserker abruptly leaped back without a moment's hesitation. Even though he had lost his reason, Berserker's battle instincts remained.

But it was too late. The Pegasus had already charged to Berserker's side, yet what struck at him was not Sakura's Noble Phantasm, but the chained dagger in her hand!

The dagger was linked to a chain and ring. As long as its wielder held the ring, she could execute all sorts of techniques.

Riding the high-speed Pegasus, Sakura ensnared Berserker. Even a participant with strength as great as Berserker's found it difficult to contend with the Pegasus's power!

"Lancer, don't underestimate me too much. How could I bear to let Senior get hurt?"

Berserker was hurled several hundred meters away. Only then did Shirou leave her attack range.

Now was the time for her to use her Noble Phantasm!
