"Ooh ooh ooh!"
Violent roars echoed incessantly in the cavern.
Facing the weak adventurer who challenged it, Goliath furiously responded, continuously striking its tiny enemy with its fists. But it gained nothing.
The opponent seemed to be able to read its mind, repeatedly dodging its attacks—and responding in kind.
Those were sacred Noble Phantasms, divine weapons flying through the air, shooting towards it. Unlike the magical attacks of Fantasy Breakdown, with the sharpness of the projected Noble Phantasms, Goliath's body quickly accumulated countless wounds. Scarlet blood continuously flowed down its body.
But its movements did not slow down.
"Bang!"
Feeling the wind pressure by his ear, Shirou glanced at the iron fist that brushed past him again, then rolled to the side along the ground, and took the opportunity to project several more weapons to shoot.
The level gap was truly too large. The opponent was far superior to him in every attribute—especially speed. If he hadn't been able to predict the opponent's attacks and dodge in advance, he probably would have been hit and bleeding profusely by now.
But unfortunately, there was no "probably." Not hitting meant not hitting.
Wielding the greatsword in his hand, he fiercely slashed at the iron fist beside him, leaving another huge scar on Goliath's body. Although his attacks couldn't be fatal, wounds were still wounds. Even the smallest wounds, if accumulated enough, could be fatal.
"Let me see how long you can last!"
With that, Shirou charged forward again, accompanied by a dozen newly projected Noble Phantasms.
"So strong! Shirou is so strong!"
Watching Shirou's heroic fighting, Tiona continuously shouted. But no one around felt she was noisy; instead, they nodded unconsciously, following her exclamations.
"If his enemy wasn't a large monster like Goliath, but an LV.4 adventurer, he probably would have won by now."
Anakitty said with a slightly pained heart. As a top-tier adventurer among the second-level adventurers of the Loki Familia, the cat-girl known as "Noble Cat" felt a lingering fear. What terrifying attacks.
The last time the main force of the Loki Familia encountered Shirou, she wasn't present. As a core member of the second army, she and Lefiya followed Gryce on another path. Although she had heard her companions describe Shirou's heroic demeanor afterward, she didn't have much of a real sense of it. After all, hearing a hundred times is not as good as seeing once.
Now she had seen it, and she was deeply fascinated. Easily dodging Goliath's attacks, while charging, he simultaneously shot dozens of divine weapons at Goliath. This heroic fighting style deeply captivated her.
Not just her, but the other girls of the Loki Familia also looked at Shirou with admiring eyes. In Shirou, they could always find attractive qualities that deeply fascinated them. Perhaps this was the curse of a lady-killer.
Shirou, who was constantly fighting at this moment, did not know that he had unknowingly attracted a large number of admirers.
"A level 2 adventurer overpowering a level 4 Floor Boss like Goliath, Finn, can you do that?"
"No, I cannot!"
To Riveria's question, Finn, with a slight smile, generously admitted his inferiority. Stimulated by Shirou's heroic demeanor, he, too, wished he could find a strong enemy and fight to his heart's content.
"Yes, who could have imagined such a thing? This man, Shirou, is truly a hero!"
Looking at Shirou's heroic figure, even Riveria's eyes sparkled with admiration. And the other girls standing beside her were even more captivated.
Lefiya, tightly clutching her staff, stared excitedly at her brother with starry eyes. This was the first time she had seen her brother fight with his full power. This scene was deeply etched in her heart.
And Ais, beside her, gripped her sword tightly. She also wanted to become a strong person like him.
"Shirou, so strong!"
...
"Ooh ooh ooh!"
The roaring giant, the young man wielding a greatsword, and the countless flying weapons. These three elements formed a scene deeply imprinted in the hearts of the Loki Familia members.
Shirou, unaware that he was being worshipped by everyone at this moment, continuously projected weapons and observed Goliath's condition.
"To be honest, my compatibility with this giant isn't very good. With my fighting style, I'm more suited to dealing with humanoid opponents. After all, I don't have a decisive ultimate weapon."
Shirou's projection magic was powerful; almost all Noble Phantasms, except for divine constructs, could be projected. But his magic power did not allow him to do so. Even though his magic power had increased several times under the blessing of the Divine Favor, it was still somewhat strenuous for those anti-fortress Noble Phantasms.
However, for the giant, he had a better choice.
"Ugh, ahhh!"
"Watch closely, Goliath, this is my full power."
"Come forth, Caladbolg II!"
Infinite magic power formed the Noble Phantasm itself. Although it was just a shell, a sword over ten meters long appeared out of thin air in Shirou's hand.
"What is that?"
Looking at the greatsword in Shirou's hand, all the members of the Loki Familia were aghast. A sword over ten meters long was completely unsuited for human use.
Yes, this was not a weapon that humans could use; this was the armament of a god.
Although Shirou's analytical abilities had been enhanced under the Divine Favor, he still couldn't analyze divine constructs. This was a miracle projected from the template in his past memories. Even if it was just an empty shell, it was enough.
Controlled by magic power, the greatsword floating in Shirou's hand thrust straight towards Goliath.
"Ooh ooh ooh!"
Amidst agonizing roars, Caladbolg II pierced directly through Goliath's body, pinning it to the cavern wall.
It struggled desperately, gripping the sword hilt with both hands, seemingly trying to pull it out. But Shirou wouldn't give it a chance.
"Projection start!"
As magic power flowed, in Shirou's raised right hand, an axe-sword resembling a stone axe appeared. Although this sword was far smaller than Caladbolg II, it was still a person's height.
Extending his left hand to also grasp the hilt, changing from single-wield to dual-wield, Shirou stomped his foot and swiftly rushed towards Goliath.
"Can your formidable durability withstand this blow?"
With eyes burning with fighting spirit, Shirou swung the axe-sword with all his might at Goliath, who was pinned to the wall.
"Nine Lives Blade Works!"
Accompanied by the sound of air being cut, nine sword marks were firmly carved behind Goliath. From the ground extending to the wall behind Goliath, nine huge sword marks demonstrated the power of that strike.
"Clang!"
As Goliath's huge body turned to ashes, a massive magic stone fell in front of Shirou. But he didn't pay attention. Instead, he turned to face his companions behind him and shouted,
"Everyone, I succeeded!"
