Nuclear Sword Immortal Starting from Type-Moon

The girl, who had been bewitched by the man through some unknown means, now had lifeless eyes and was like a manipulated puppet, obediently following the man's lead.

When Shirou looked at the man's profile, he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"What a small world..."

Short yellow hair, a handsome face, a slender figure, and that flashy purple jacket... all these features unequivocally point to his identity.

Ryunosuke Amatsu, the deranged serial killer!

Shirou, with his hands in his pockets and a calm expression, hung slowly behind Ryunosuke Uryu.

With his current Heroic Spirit-level perception and agility, tracking without being detected by the other party is extremely easy.

"Let's make our move after he reaches his hiding place."

This deranged killer has kidnapped far more than just one child.

Therefore, Shirou decided to follow along for the time being.

Chapter Seven Projection

The sun is setting and night is approaching.

With more and more people leaving get off work, the streets are becoming increasingly crowded.

Everyone hurried along, looking tired and indifferent to others.

It must be said that Ryunosuke Uryu is truly a cautious and cunning serial killer who has committed so many heinous crimes yet has not been caught by the police.

He did not go directly to the stronghold, but instead traveled through at least several complex neighborhoods.

He would sometimes stop in front of a shop window and use the reflection to observe what was behind him.

Sometimes he would suddenly change direction, and after carefully checking all directions, he would finally slip into a dark alleyway in the city, filled with a desolate atmosphere.

However, what Ryunosuke Uryu was unaware of was...

From a vantage point six stories high, Shirou, clinging to a window sill in the abandoned building, watched his every move from beginning to end.

"That must be his hiding place."

Because it had already been confirmed that there were no surveillance cameras around the area, Ryunosuke Uryuu still made a mistake despite his careful planning.

He never imagined that someone would be following him from such a high position.

Shirou's figure moved nimbly between the buildings and soon landed on the ground of the alley.

"I wonder if Ryunosuke Uryuu has summoned a Caster (Caster class) around this time in September..."

As Shirou slowly approached Ryunosuke Uryu's hiding place, he pondered the situation.

If things follow the original trajectory, Ryunosuke Uryuu will summon that guy Gilles de Rais.

So the other party is probably busy creating the Magic Workshop right now and has no time to pay attention to Ryunosuke Uryu.

But even if Gilles de Rais were there, Shirou wouldn't care.

After all, he now not only possesses the power of a heroic spirit, but also holds all the intelligence due to his precognitive abilities.

Should I avoid his sharp edge?!

My thoughts paused.

Shirou descended the moss-covered steps and stopped in front of a heavy door that smelled of rust and a faint stench of blood.

"Alright, let me see what you're up to in there."

After saying that, he raised his foot and kicked the iron gate open.

BOOM!

With a loud bang, the iron gate even deformed.

A burst of light from the outside suddenly flooded into the dimly lit basement.

"Who!?"

Ryunosuke Uryu, who was holding a rope and preparing to tie up the girl he had just lured back, was startled by the sudden noise.

He shuddered, nearly dropping the rope in his hand, his heart pounding. At first, he thought the police had come knocking.

If the police forcefully break in, rushing in with guns.

Now that he's in this confined space with only one exit, there's absolutely no way for him to escape.

Just as Ryunosuke Uryu was becoming increasingly anxious and even considering using the hostage as a shield, he saw the figure standing at the door amidst the swirling dust.

Was it a... child?

"what?"

The look of astonishment on Ryunosuke Uryuu's face gradually faded.

"Oh dear? Little friend, are you lost?"

Upon discovering that the intruder was actually a child, Ryunosuke Uryuu immediately calmed down and his hands stopped trembling.

They even started to smile.

"Haha! It really came to me without any effort!"

"The task the master gave me is just missing you!"

"Come in quickly!"

The expression on Ryunosuke Uryu's face could easily lead someone unaware of the truth to believe he was a cheerful, sunny, and handsome guy.

However, his smile looked very incongruous with the children next to him whose hands and feet were tied, and whose eyes and mouths were sealed with strips of cloth and tape.

The girl he had lured back was temporarily awakened from the hypnotic spell by this brief interruption.

"Where...where am I...?"

She was a girl with short brown hair, wearing the school uniform of Yatsushirodai Elementary School.

Her last memories before being hypnotized surfaced in her mind at this moment.

Realizing the predicament she was in, the girl immediately began to tremble with fear.

Her adorable, childlike face turned slightly pale with fear, and her frail appearance was truly pitiful.

"Seriously, you interrupted the hypnosis!"

A somewhat neurotic and cruel smile appeared on Ryunosuke Uryuu's handsome face.

"You'd better make it up to me properly!"

"Okay, I'll make it up to you right now!"

Shirou raised his right hand to shoulder level.

"Projection, begin (Trace on)"

Azure magic transformed into lightning, and a pure white longsword was constructed in less than half a second.

The light illuminated the dim room.

Whoosh!

The sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air rang out, and in the instant of the piercing sound, Ryunosuke Amusei's expression changed from relaxed to astonished.

"This is……?"

Ryunosuke Uryu stared blankly at his chest, pierced by the sword.

There, the rhythmic heartbeat is gone, leaving only a warm flow.

Shirou looked at Ryunosuke Amusei lying on the ground with some disdain, ignoring his writhing body, and walked straight towards the kidnapped children.

Shirou projected a dagger into his hand and cut the ropes binding the children's hands and feet.

"Can you still walk?"

The children sniffled and nodded through their tears.

"Let's go find the police to take you home."

At Shirou's command, the children scattered.

Only one child has not yet escaped.

The girl with short brown hair.

"Look at this school uniform, you're a student from the same school as me."

Shirou extended his right hand toward her.

"How are you? Can you still walk?"

"Waaah..."

The girl was still trembling slightly, stunned by the mysterious techniques Shirou had just displayed, which seemed straight out of a manga.

Her small legs kept going weak, and she couldn't stand up at all.

For a primary school student, experiencing being kidnapped by a psychopathic killer and then witnessing such a dangerous murder scene, it's already quite remarkable if they don't faint from fright.
