Shirou walked out of the prison cell with Eris in his arms. He didn't even try to hide his presence, directly showing himself to the many kidnappers.
The most panicked person at this sight wasn't the kidnappers who were quickly gathering, but Eris, who Shirou was forcibly carrying out.
The red-haired Young Lady was completely stunned and said in disbelief, "What, what are you doing? Won't they find us right away like this!"
"Isn't it good if they find us?"
"You clearly said you would save me!"
Eris's eyes widened. She thought Shirou was just tricking her and was actually working with the kidnappers.
But Shirou didn't bother explaining too much at this point, because his goal wasn't just to rescue Eris, but also to take down all the kidnappers!
Justice is helping the weak and punishing the wicked.
Now that he had rescued Eris and completed the first goal, he naturally had to achieve the second goal and ensure these kidnappers received their due punishment.
In a way, Shirou was also considering testing his control over the Servant's power.
Since that snowy night, he had hardly used the power from Servant Emiya. He wondered if he could still freely use the Servant's power like he did that night when he fought through the Holy Grail War.
"Hey, where did you come from!"
At the same time, the kidnappers rushed over from a distance.
There were about six kidnappers, all with messy hair and dirty faces, looking like outlaws who often risked their lives.
When they saw Shirou appear, they were shocked at first. They couldn't imagine how he had sneaked into the prison cell and then broken open the cell's strong door with his bare hands.
But when they saw Shirou holding Eris, the Young Lady of the Boreas family, in his arms, the kidnappers all showed angry and fierce expressions.
After all, to the kidnappers, Eris was real money. Selling the Young Lady of the Boreas family to their employer would earn them an unimaginable amount, enough for them to spend freely for the rest of their lives.
Such a large sum of money being taken away by a stranger was more than they could bear.
So the kidnappers, not caring about anything else, surrounded them from a distance with their weapons, not allowing Shirou to leave with Eris.
"..."
Shirou had no intention of leaving either.
Giving punishment to evil criminals was undoubtedly what he should do for justice.
Even if the kidnapped person wasn't Eris, the Young Lady of the Boreas family, he would still step forward to bring these kidnappers to justice!
"Hold on tight!"
Shirou quietly told Eris in his arms to prepare for what was about to happen.
Before Eris could react to what Shirou was going to do, she suddenly felt the environment around her changing at an extremely fast pace!
"Snap!"
The wind slapped her face, and Eris even felt a strange sense of displacement, and found that Shirou had disappeared from the spot and appeared on the right side of the kidnappers!
"What?!"
The kidnappers were even more shocked.
They never imagined that this suddenly appearing man was so fast, like lightning, with only a few shadows visible and no way to see his true form!
"Damn it!"
One of the kidnappers holding a throwing knife had planned to wait and see for a while, but after seeing Shirou's quick actions, didn't have time to think and hurriedly threw the knife!
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
Facing these flying weapons, Shirou didn't have much thought and unfolded a projection with his free hand.
"Trace, On!"
In an instant, the familiar short swords Kanshou and Bakuya appeared in his right hand. Shirou didn't make any extra moves, just a simple upward block, directly deflecting the flying knives.
Then he rushed directly to the kidnapper's face, slashing with Kanshou and Bakuya.
"Stab."
Even though the attack didn't directly hit a vital point, it scared the opponent into a coma.
"How can he be so fast!"
Seeing Shirou instantly knock down one of his companions, the other kidnappers all showed incredulous expressions.
Shirou's actions seemed like lightning or a beast.
Was this the level of a Sword God Style Swordsman at the Sword Saint level?
In reality, under the Servant Emiya projection, Shirou's basic physical abilities were far beyond those of a so-called Sword Saint, because a Sword Saint achievedsuper high speed by relying on sword skills, while Shirou in Servant state reached such a high speed purely by relying on his own physical abilities.
In fact, his current strength was completely capable of competing with the Sword King, or even the Sword Emperor.
Of course, due to the limitations of the false Servant card, Shirou's continuous combat time was definitely not as good as that of a real Sword King or Sword Emperor.
If he were to fight such a strong person head-on, it was likely that Shirou would be unable to maintain the dreamlike summoned form due to excessive magic consumption before he could defeat his opponent.
However, that was after all against world-class experts such as the Sword King and Sword Emperor.
Faced with a group of kidnappers who were probably not even considered upper-level, he didn't need to use too much power at all. Basic physical ability was enough to defeat them all!
"Buzz!"
Shirou held his sword with his hand behind his back. Just this action alone released a pressure that stunned the kidnappers.
One of the leading kidnappers seemed to waver and couldn't help but ask, "Who, who are you, and why are you hindering us?"
"Does that matter?"
Shirou responded coldly. Although he had used this group of kidnappers to make Eris recognize reality, he couldn't feel any interest in these people full of sin and only wanted them to be punished, even to die.
The leader of the kidnappers didn't think so. He didn't believe that there was anyone in this world who couldn't be moved.
He grinned and said, "Since you're here, it means you're that Young Lady's guard, right? Being a guard for the Boreas family means you're probably just doing it for money, right... Do you know how much that girl in your arms is worth? We have channels to sell her to a super noble with an unimaginable status. They're willing to pay a high price to buy noble little girls and can earn enough money to spend for the rest of your life."
"Oh...?"
Shirou didn't expect that there was an even deeper network of interests behind these people, as well as a further mastermind. He became interested.
For Servant Emiya, whose goal was justice, it would surely be able to further fulfill the other party's wishes if he could wipe out such a group of pure evil.
Shirou himself had never completely given up the ideal of being an ally of justice, and still retained a heart that was cold but still beating with passionate blood.
So he simply didn't act right away, but inquired about the news of that rich noble.
However, his attitude caused Eris to have a misunderstanding. The Young Lady thought Shirou was moved and looked at him with a pale face.
Shirou didn't give any response.
"Who is the noble you're talking about, and why do they want to catch Eris?"
"I can't say for sure. People at our level wouldn't know, but it's said that the noble is a pervert who likes to catch young girls as sex slaves. And he is very, very rich. Just a little reward is enough so that you don't need to work for the rest of your life. Aren't you tempted?"
The kidnapper leader spoke with great pride.
He obviously thought that his words would easily move Shirou, because in his understanding, no one in this world could be uninterested in money.
But in fact, he really didn't expect that there were not only people in this world who were not interested in money, but also had an unimaginable attachment to good and evil.
That was the existence called ally of justice!
"Are you done talking?"
Shirou calmly watched as the kidnapper leader finished speaking, standing there with a blank expression.
"You..."
Although the kidnapper leader felt that his words were good enough and that it was reasonable to attract the other party, Shirou's attitude made him feel a vague unease.
Because of this, he watched the other party while silently taking half a step back.
At the same time, Shirou's figure almost left an afterimage in place. His movements were too fast for the naked eye to follow, and there was no way to catch up.
"Bastard!"
The kidnappers all raised their weapons and tried to resist.
"Crack!"
Just one sword strike.
Shirou's Kanshou and Bakuya cut off all of the kidnappers' weapons, along with the right hands holding the weapons, spraying out a large amount of blood.
At the same time, Shirou flipped the white cloak behind him.
The cloak blocked all the blood.
Not letting Eris in his arms be contaminated by even a trace of blood.
Faced with all of this, Eris's eyes widened!
She never imagined that Shirou's strength was so exaggerated, and even more didn't expect that the other party had no interest in the kidnappers' promised money and wealth at all.
Eris then realized that what the other party had said when signing the contract with her before was not false, and that the other party really did not have any designs on her when signing the contract.
This result made her both happy and conflicted.
In the end, she couldn't help but completely focus her gaze on the tall, red-haired man in front of her, as if she wanted to see through the man's appearance and understand his essence.
But in the end, she couldn't see anything, only a strange feeling began to sprout in her heart.
