Shirou's Grand Heroic Saga Chapter 8

This...

"Want," Shirou gritted out. Sakura, watching him, thought he might be suffering from a split personality, speaking first one way then another. Was it because of this card?

"Too quiet. Shout it louder."

"Want!"

"Good. I'll tell you a little secret: there's a Rider outside. You're going to defeat him right now."

"???? Then why hasn't the alarm sounded yet?"

"Have you ever seen an alarm sound before the enemy is discovered? While I'm satisfied that you, kid, were able to summon me, your performance is too poor!" That made so much sense, he couldn't refute it!

"What are you still doing with that pointless stuff? Attack!"

Hearing this, Shirou quickly prepared himself to face the enemy... perhaps with something like Presence Concealment.

However!

"Tsk, tsk, kid, I'll give you another hint. Rider doesn't want to do any preparatory work or fight you for hundreds of rounds. He wants to unleash his Noble Phantasm directly." How did he build up NP that fast?

Does Rider have High-Speed Chanting? Is this Captain? No, no, logically speaking, all the Heroic Spirits appearing in the Fifth Holy Grail War, meaning Medusa, definitely wouldn't know this move! Could it be that he's equipped with the Jeweled Holy Sword?

Coach, he's cheating! I want to bring the Origin Bullet!

"So, kid, do you understand what you need to do now?" the Old Man of the Mountain said sinisterly, his scheme successful. Now, Shirou wouldn't have any time for Presence Concealment. As long as he could cut down the opponent, the assassination would be successful. This was the Old Man of the Mountain's creed, but unfortunately, it had been a long time since he had trained a Hassan who acted this way.

Shirou took a deep breath. What else could he do? Wasn't it just BBB+EX? He didn't understand the combat methods of other Hassans. He only understood some of King Hassan's combat experience.

For example, a bit of preparatory movement, cooperating with Shield Bash, executing Backstab Blink, Instant Death Chance, and maxing out the Eye Beam Cannon. The rest was Greatsword Mastery, Heavy Armor Mastery, and Greatshield Mastery! This wasn't a joke; it was real. Shirou's left hand was currently holding a greatshield, and his right hand held a greatsword. The greatsword was over a meter long, only slightly shorter than him.

"Chop, chop, chop!" Shirou decided to let loose—King Hassan, let's go! After all, as Gudako's theoretical father, if he couldn't even tear apart Heroic Spirits with his bare hands, he should just leave the group.

"Ora!"

Shirou, leaping from the sky, clearly startled the person who summoned Rider, directly interrupting Rider's Noble Phantasm.

Rider didn't have time to block, or rather, he did block, but it was useless.

Shirou, wielding the greatsword, slashed down from the air, directly teaching Rider a lesson and severing one of his arms.

"Hahaha, kid, very good. You've grasped the essence of Hassan in one go. Keep chopping, and it'll be over!" Only then did Shirou realize that his BBB+EX had only completed its first action, with three more to go.
