Chapter 1478 Lucky Man?
Chapter 1478 Lucky Man?
Haru\'s provocation was very effective and Shirou didn\'t waste his time, dashed right in front of Haru, and slashed him with a katana.
In response, Haru took out a knife from his zipper pocket, then blocked Shirou\'s attack.
*Clang!*
Shirou\'s katana bounced back, but he didn\'t stop his onslaught.
Shirou slashed his katana continuously with an intent to kill the opponent in front of him and the sound of metal clashes was heard one after another.
In this space, Shirou was confident that he would be able to win.
The katana on his hand was known as Miike Tenta Mitsuyo.
Miike Tenta Mitsuyo is the sword of Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, formerly the favored blade of a "certain one-eyed master swordsman." While normally just a simple armament summoned with Shirou, Caster of Red\'s Enchant Skill is able to render it as a C-rank Noble Phantasm.
Due to it being an "incredibly famous sword", Caster was able to make it of much higher quality than other objects, using his writing prowess to describe how the blade is "magnificently sharp" and the amount of blood that had stained it in its lifetime to great effect.
Shirou\'s sword technique might be average, but with the help of the Caster of Red\'s Enchant Skill and both of his Noble Phantasm, he believed that he was able to kill his opponent!
"AAAA!!!"
Screaming out loud, Shirou used 130% of his abilities, unlocking his potential, and fighting against his opponent.
However…
Haru might not attack Shirou, but all of Shirou\'s attacks were useless in front of him since none of the attacks that Shirou had sent were able to hurt him. However, it was normal since Shirou didn\'t know about his abilities.
If Shirou\'s opponent was a servant then he might have a chance to win, but his opponent wasn\'t a servant.
If Shirou\'s opponent was a servant then he could use his "revelation" then used the weakness of that servant to beat him.
Unfortunately, his opponent wasn\'t a servant and Shirou\'s Revelation Skill was useless.
Well, not exactly useless since using that ability, Shirou would be able to read the future of Haru\'s movement, and it was also the reason why he believed that he was able to defeat Haru, even though, all he could see was only half a second in the future.
Shirou knew that his opponent was strong, and that was why…
*Swoosh!* *Swoosh!* *Swoosh!*
The sound of breaking air was heard and there were four blades that were moving very fast from four directions, trying to sneak attack Haru.
Haru, of course, noticed the four blades that were moving in his direction.
Black Key.
Black Key is a sacrament of the Church, one of their many charms used against demons and vampires.
When Haru saw the Black Key, he was wondering whether Shirou thought of him as a devil, but he felt that wasn\'t wrong since he could tell that he was indeed a demon since he had decided to destroy Shirou\'s dream and wanted to give salvation to all mankind.
However, even if Haru was a demon, he was better than the "Fake Saint" in front of him.
\'Pretending to be kind, selfless, and benevolent. Let me open that mask of yours.\'
Haru twisted his body and all the Black Keys that were thrown at him were thrown back in Shirou\'s direction.
In Shirou\'s mind, he would use the chance of Haru to block all the Black Keys that he had thrown before to give a fatal blow at Haru\'s body, however, he would never think that Haru\'s knife technique would be so exquisite that Haru was able to send all four Black Keys back toward him.
"What?!"
Shirou quickly used his katana to block four Black Keys that aimed toward him, however at that moment…
*Slash!*
"ARGGGG!!!"
Shirou\'s scream filled the space, and both of his arms were cut down by Haru\'s knife.
Then the sound of flesh being stabbed was heard, four Black Keys that were thrown back by Haru, stabbed Shirou\'s neck, heart, eye, and lower body.
However, Shirou didn\'t want to lose, no, he couldn\'t lose!
But then…
*Slash*
Shirou\'s two legs were cut down by Haru and he fell down on the ground, unable to walk or move since he had lost four of his limbs.
Shirou might have fallen on the ground, but his eyes kept staring at the man that had done all of this to him.
"Why?! Why?!"
Shirou looked very hideous and he understood the reason why he hated this young man so much!
"You have this kind of power! You\'re a human! Why can\'t you understand me! Why don\'t you help all mankind!"
Yes, Shirou was envious.
If in his life, Shirou had the power of the young man in front of him, then all of his followers wouldn\'t die and he also would be able to build a country or a kingdom where no one would suffer!
If he had this kind of power…
Even though Shirou\'s neck was stabbed, he had lost one of his eyes, his heart had been stabbed, and there were more injuries that shouldn\'t be mentioned again, he felt hatred toward his young man and waited for his answer.
However…
*Slash!*
Shirou was killed and his body slowly disappeared.
"My wish… the salvation of mankind…"
Haru then walked toward the Holy Grail and didn\'t even look back at Shirou, who he had defeated since from the beginning to the end, he had never thought of Shirou as his opponent.
Someone might have thought that Shirou was crafty, but Haru had never thought of him as such an opponent.
In Haru\'s mind, Shirou was only known as someone who was lucky.
Shirou was lucky enough to be born with unique Magic Circuits.
Shirou was lucky enough to be summoned as a Ruler.
Shirou was lucky enough to summon Semiramis since this woman was quite stupid.
Haru might not say it, but he really thought of Semiramis as a dull-witted woman since all she did was use poison and beauty to seduce a king. In truth, it was very easy to seduce this woman back, in Haru\'s opinion, but he wouldn\'t say it out loud since, in his mind, he was a bit grateful for Shirou to summon Semiramis so he could steal her from him (the last sentence was a joke, though).
Without all those points, it was simply impossible for Shirou to win the Holy Grail since, in the original story, he was defeated by a homunculus that had only been born for a week or so.
If Haru lost against such a man, it was simply a joke, though, to be honest, he had to admit that even though both of them were quite incompatible, he had to admit that Shirou was quite similar to him.
Watching Haru, who had never looked at him from the beginning to the end, Shirou could only let out a sigh then disappeared.
In this Holy Grail War, from the beginning to the end, the winner had already been decided.
Then space slowly changed and the surrounding area turned into a flower park before a beautiful woman appeared that Haru wanted to see when he entered the Holy Grail, appeared before him.
