Sakura was immensely grateful that Heracles's card was of the Berserker class, giving her Pegasus a chance to kill him.
The white Pegasus raised its forehooves in the air and neighed, erupting with an intense white light that could even obscure the sun!
"Chivalric Bond of the Rider!"
It charged forward as Pegasus unleashed boundless power, its target Heracles!
But at that very moment, Heracles broke free from Rune Magic's restraints, pulled out his giant axe, and swung it at Pegasus!
Berserker actually intended to withstand a Noble Phantasm head-on!
The black giant axe slammed into Pegasus, causing it to vanish instantly. However, Berserker was also grievously wounded and collapsed once more!
Sakura fell to the ground, while Berserker's skin turned red again.
Berserker had recovered again!
Before Sakura could react, he raised his Axe Sword and charged at her once more.
The girl closed her eyes in despair.
It seemed her wish to reach a world where she and her senior could be happy would never come true.
But the pain never came.
The terrible scene she had imagined did not appear.
Had he missed her?
Sakura opened her eyes and saw a red figure standing before her, immovable as the towering Kunlun Mountains, holding a sword before him.
Gods would not save their believers, but knights would protect princesses.
"Senior..." Sakura's voice trembled faintly as she looked at the figure before her.
"Anyone who wants to hurt Sakura can go to hell!"
Shirou raised the Sword in the Stone in his hand, gathering the last of his mana.
This was his last bit of mana!
"Caliburn—Golden Sword of Victory!"

My Body Is Made of Swords
Shirou could not project Excalibur, but he could project the Sword in the Stone and release its Noble Phantasm.
But that was all.
He did not have enough mana. After firing this, he would practically be unable to move.
He squeezed out every last bit of mana, to the point where Shirou felt his Magic Circuits had already overloaded.
The only thing worth being grateful for was that Berserker had been blasted to the other end of the bridge by the Golden Sword of Victory's beam, still quite far from here.
