The hammer and the blades met, creating sparks of flames upon contact, Shirou and the Demi-dragon's weapons clashed in a mesmerizing show of light and Sonic sounds.
The hammer stroke down with the power of twenty thousand men but Shirou cleverly threw the blow off course by turning his body 90 degrees and holding up the sloped edge of kanshou bakuya before the blow, this simple yet brilliant maneuver created a way for the force of the slick hammer to slip slightly beside his body. With continuous monotonous attacks, Shirou kept parrying the strikes with precisely the same motion, using as little power as required.
Sliding past blow after blow, Kanshou and Bakuya continued their clash with the Crushing blow of the wind slashing Hammer, from afar it would've looked as if a leaf was gliding within the hurricane, the hammer blow was a force to be reckoned with but it never managed any harm on Shirou.
After streaks of parries, The demi-dragon Held the hammer high up to it's limit, this in turn created a narrow gap for Shirou to jump 4 meters away from the monster and enter into an offensive position.
Having forced to withstand all the attacks, his body was sweating and all numb from the hellish beatings he had to counter, his arms twitched and his frantic breathing told of the evident exhaustion,but in the end it all paid off. The dragon's attack has been thwarted, moreover he has discovered it's weakness. The battle tactic was ready, the next thing that's left was to exploit that thin gap in the enemy's weakness.
"Kanshou, Bakuya."
Another set of blades formed the palm Of his hands to initiate his trump card. Shirou mastered this technique during a serious sparring match with Saber in the Magi association right before he decided to quit, and he's about to use it for the first time in actual combat. If archer had Over edge as his trump card this could be considered his original killing move.
Finishing his tracing, Shirou immediately reinforced his legs and armss to his Maximum and sprinted the distance of four meters. Within a quarter of a second, the dragon had expected the attack and swung it horizontally towards Shirou, but within that split second interval Shirou ducked almost flat on the ground and dodged the swing. But that wasn't the end of the sequence of attacks, Shiro too had expected this beforehand and came up with this Idea all along. Using the Momentum of his duck Shirou released his bent leg. The jump took him five meters off the ground, almost twice as high as the monster. Using Gravity as a catalyst, Shirou made a quick spin and held Kanshou Bakuya high on his hands to strike the enemy from mid air.
It all seemed too late when the dragon managed to get it's armored hand to block the blow. But this in fact wasn't the final stage of his move.
"Freeze out!"
with that clamor, Kanshou and bakuya disappeared from his grip. The demi dragon which was bracing for the attack was briefly brought back by this sudden twist, the strike was strong enough to rip through it's scale, but yet he still chose to pull back.
"Kanshou, Bakuya"
As his arms passed by the Demi-dragon's hand, another twist unfolded, within that short gap of time a pair of twin blades formed, bypassing the armor and speeding towards it's only weak point, the chest and the abdomen. Without giving it any second to react, Shirou slashed right through the Demi-Dragon. Ripping right from it's Chest right down to it's crotch.
It was an attack that can never be blocked by any means of defense, coupled with a strike strong enough to rip through the hardest armor available. It's one of the most perfect form of attack available to him. It's name ; "Kanshou Bakuya,Armor Breaker".
It is also The only trump card in his disposal that managed to give Shirou, his one and only victory against Saber in their hundreds of sparring matches. It's only downfall is that it can never be used twice in a heating battle, thus emphasizing the trump card prefix.
The Hellish creature screeched in deep anger. Overtaken by the inhuman insanity, the Demi-Dragon flung it's only weapon towards Shirou, But a quick reflex prevented him from Experiencing it's impact.
Though landing a virtually ineffectual attack, it soon be came clear that the enemy wasn't about to give up. Following right behind the attack, the Demi-Dragon charged at full speed, Shirou who was busy dodging the previous didn't have enough time and reflexes to dodge that attack, once again his body flung out on the air like a doll. But fortunately for Shiro, his reinforcement absorbed most of the impact damage.
The demi dragon thought victory was near when he saw the boy roll on the ground like a lifeless puppet, he was angry, so angry that he'd kill him and devour his flesh until nothing was left of it. But first, the Softening of the meat, yes... it has been half a decade of millenia since he got his hands on the morsels of a human, sealed off under king Gilgamesh's order to protect his treasury. To start off, the body of this delinquent juvenile would make his day. So softening the meat... yes Soften it... Soften it...yes...
The dragon leap high up on the air tens of feet off the ground. Covered by dust, the image wasn't clear, the boy is nonetheless dead... dead...dead... no?
As the monster began it's fall from mid air, the dust debris dissipated and within that cover, the Orange haired boy emerged with a sleek golden alabaster sword held high on top towards the Demi Dragon. there were gashes everywhere but he wasn't dead... quite the opposite, his eyes were telling of the final End of the Demi dragon, it was the Demi-dragon who'll be seeing hell, the fate has been sealed, there was no turning back.
Shirou plunged Caliburn inside the Free falling dragon's heart with both his hands on the grip, it pierced through the rib cage, the lung the heart and finally emerged behind the back, creating a deep irrevocable cavity in it's chest.
Next, everything went into deep utter silence. The dragon's body slowly dissipated into the air like ashes, leaving Shirou with nothing but the gleaming holy sword radiating the chamber with subtle orange light.
Shirou Held his breath before releasing Caliburn from his grip and cutting out his Prana supply. He leaned his exhausted body by the wall and slowly regulated his breathing, his back ached like hell and his physical capability was at it's limit.
His body told him to give it all up and sleep but his mind didn't let him; Rin was in danger and he knew she'd need his help,
"God, arrgh! my back!"
Forcing his almost dysfunctioning body to stand up,Shirou held his aching back before limping his way out of the large chamber. The torches shut down in an instant he set foot outside the chamber and everything was once again immersed in total darkness.
"Oh, Come on!"
And as you'd expect,he had to reinforce his eyes all the way out of it again.
