"You were actually flirting here? How rude! Sakura, you really are such a fickle little sister, such an awful little sister! You stole everything from me, but today, I'll take back everything that was taken from me!"
With Shinji's declaration, snake-like Cursed Arms descended from the air with knives in hand, their targets set squarely on Sakura.
It seemed this Second Brother was just like the one from the other timeline, thinking he was so incredible and hating his own sister without realizing how much pain she had endured.
A nameless fury rose in Shirou's heart. Not only as Shirou Emiya, who harbored certain feelings for Sakura, but also as a transmigrator who understood Sakura, he would definitely smash Second Brother's damn head in!
A massive Axe Sword appeared in Shirou's right hand, while the blade in his left dissolved into magical energy.
A weapon that huge was utterly impossible to lift with the strength of one hand alone.
"Trace on! Fake Projection: Hundred Bullet Requiem!"
This Noble Phantasm had belonged to Heracles, summoned as a Berserker, and Emiya had seen it in his life. Shirou was merely using his experiences to project this terrifyingly enormous weapon.
And it was precisely because it was large enough that he had chosen it.
No matter how Shinji attacked from a thousand directions, Shirou only needed to defend one!
The Cursed Arms knocked flying by God Slayer of Hundred Beasts landed on the ground once more, only for Shirou to cleave them in two with a follow-up strike.
The Cursed Arms were already far from Sakura, so Shirou finally relaxed and focused on dealing with Second Brother.
"Why? Why can you connect to it? That card was obviously a worthless card! You... you really were hiding something, weren't you?" Second Brother spoke incoherently.
He took out a compound bow. As for arrows, he could simply project them. Any weapon, once projected, could be transformed into the arrows he needed.
"Some relic connected to a certain Heroic Spirit lets you connect even with a garbage card. You all took me for a fool! How despicable! How cunning!"
The moment Second Brother finished speaking, countless snake-like things burst from all over his body.
They kept twisting together, then twisting together again, becoming something like a tentacled monster.
Pseudo-Spiral Sword would not work well here. The distance was too close; if he used it here, combined with the area of effect once Spiral Sword activated...
The title of Nuke Sword Immortal was no empty reputation.
By comparison, he preferred lighter, less strenuous methods, such as dealing directly with the main body.
That was, the wrist that had been quietly crawling along, treating him like an idiot.
"Trace on!" he softly recited the incantation for Projection Magic, and a small knife appeared in his hand.
This knife was not as sharp as other blades. It might not even be very useful for killing someone. Its twisted shape made its dazzling, precious material seem almost wasted.
Yet nothing could replace this knife's purpose. It was a Noble Phantasm, one he believed could resolve the problem the fastest.
His preference for solving problems lightly did not mean he had no desire to use the monster before him to gain some experience. Unfortunately, he had no such opportunity.
Between leveling up and ensuring Sakura's safety,
he could only choose the latter.
That meant using the simplest method.
Talisman of Breaking All Laws!
Shirou threw the knife, and it stabbed fiercely into the Cursed Arm trying to approach him. Shinji Matou finally returned to his original form.
