That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

Rem was still struggling to free her frozen feet, her movements becoming increasingly exaggerated.

“I’ve said it before, you have no idea what your actions represent, so I will make the predictions.”

“When you lose your mobility, that pink-haired maid will probably come out. Are you sisters? Twins? You seem to care about her a lot. Do you think she'll just watch me kill you?” Shinji Matou said slowly.

Rem stopped struggling abruptly, staring at Shinji Matou, the hostility in her blue eyes almost tangible.

Shinji Matou continued to verbally provoke Rem: "She won't do that."

“But morality is on my side. You attacked me, and you attacked your master’s guest.”

"Kill you? No, no, no, that kind of punishment is not enough to make you remember it for a lifetime. You have to be punished for doing wrong."

"So I've made up my mind."

"When you lose your ability to move, I will pretend to kill you in front of your sister. She cannot stand idly by. I will kill your sister in front of you, and then leave you, who is unable to move, until tomorrow. If you are lucky enough not to die from blood loss, you will be able to witness your master's judgment on what you have done."

"If he doesn't hold this against me, that's fine. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to kill your master as well."

"After everything is over, I will throw their corpses in front of you and let you watch as birds and beasts devour them."

"Rem, this is my prophecy for tomorrow morning."

“This is all your fault. I could have been your friend, but your self-satisfied hypocrisy and rash actions have brought great trouble to your sister and your master, and pushed me into the position of your enemy.”

"What did you say at the beginning? Right, it was that dead people don't cause any trouble."

"Only those who are prepared to be killed have the right to kill," Shinji Matou coldly declared.

Every word Shinji Matou uttered was stimulating the maid's nerves. Rem's shoulders trembled as she screamed wildly, "I'll kill you! I'll absolutely kill you!"

The ice broke, and one of her feet was pulled out; the black boot was gone, and blood was flowing freely.

"Kill me? What can you do now?"

"Kill you! Kill you! Kill you! Kill you! Kill you!" Rem kept repeating this phrase, her voice gradually weakening.

Click~ Click~

Rem pulled out another leg, tearing off a piece of skin from her left leg without her noticing. Her red eyes were fixed on Shinji Matou, and her small mouth grinned slightly, revealing a ferocious and bloodthirsty smile.

Haha ...

A maniacal laugh erupted from Rem's mouth, a flash of purple light appeared on her forehead, horns made of energy extended through her bangs, her eyes turned completely crimson, and a violent power burst forth from her body.

"As expected, she has some unused abilities." Shinji Matou leaped lightly into the air, white paper fluttering beneath his feet to form a towering cylinder. He watched the changes in Rem's body, a subtle smile playing on his lips.

Hmm... Having already traversed so many worlds, playing the villain is second nature to me.

If Matou Shinji actually does what he said, he'll be "disqualified from being a protagonist." He's quite interested in helping this vicious dog that its owner couldn't train properly, and giving it a memorable lesson.

Despite wanting to eliminate all hidden dangers and protect everyone, they brought about the worst possible consequences.

Shinji Matou wanted to see Rem's cute little face show regret and despair, to see her lose everything, only to fall into the Honkai as she blamed herself.

"Oh no! Oh no! When did I become so happy? Could it be a side effect of transmigrating to Type-Moon, with the evil of this world entering my brain?" Matou Shinji muttered to himself, shivering as he quickly stopped himself from thinking about the consequences, afraid that he might accidentally get too excited and make the fake relationship real.

It's not just random thoughts that Shinji Matou has in mind that his thinking has been corrupted by the evils of this world.

This body was created using the Holy Grail's magic. In fact, Shinji Matou knew that the evil of this world would affect his way of thinking.

Even Gilgamesh, the King of Heroes who was outwardly unaffected by the black mud, had his way of thinking affected to some extent after being physically harmed by it, transforming him from a chuunibyou (delusional) king into a foolish one. (The official explanation is that Gilgamesh's thinking became more evil due to the influence of the black mud.)

The demonized Rem swung her flail faster and faster, making a buzzing sound. With such monstrous strength, anyone who was touched by this flail would either die or be seriously injured.

"Witch! Witch! Witch! Witch! Witch! Witch! Witch!" Rem muttered as she approached Shinji Matou, looking no different from a madwoman in the eyes of ordinary people.

It's often said that corruption triples strength, but Shinji Matou abandoned his contempt. He casually grabbed a stack of pages with his right hand and threw them into the sky. The manuscript was fixed in place by an invisible force, and as Rem stepped into the range, pages flew everywhere, shooting towards Rem.

Swish swish swish~!

Enhanced by both magic and alchemy, each page of the book possessed the power of a sharp blade, sealing off all of Rem's space for movement.

boom!

Rem slammed her flail into the ground, the violent shockwave scattering pages from the book. Taking advantage of the brief chaos, the maid rushed to Shinji Matou's side.

She abandoned the meteor hammer and grabbed at Shinji Matou's head with her right hand. An invisible force wrapped around her arm, shattering every page it touched.

Sorry for the lateness, I've been quite busy these past few days.

Chapter 112 Kami's Heartbreak (The Essence of Card Assassination Techniques)

Just as Rem's right hand tore through the air and was about to grab Shinji Matou's neck, a white shadow slammed heavily onto her shoulder at an even faster speed.

boom!

The maid's body crashed to the ground and rolled a great distance. When she finally managed to regain her balance and get up, her black maid outfit was tattered and her body was covered in wounds.

In the courtyard, countless white pages converged to form long, wide swan wings, crossing to protect Shinji Matou's body.

Shinji Matou stood on the paper pillar, coldly looking down at the disheveled Rem and commenting, "You're really weak. How can you keep saying you want to protect everyone when you're like this?"

In her demon form, Rem only surpasses Erza the Bowel Hunter in terms of destructive power. In terms of killing skills, she is far inferior to the Bowel Hunter. The difference between the two is like that between a weightlifter and a professional boxer. The former is strong, but the latter can easily knock out the former.

Rem pushed herself up from the ground, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth. Her cute little face contorted into a ferocious expression, filled with murderous intent as she screamed in response to Shinji Matou's comment: "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! I know this without you telling me!"

The pinkish-purple horn on her forehead shone brightly, creating dozens of invisible wind blades that swept towards Shinji Matou like a landslide or tsunami.

The sharp sound of the wind stung Shinji Matou's eardrums. He thought to himself, "The power of the demons must be related to the wind element of this world. Their destructive power is not strong."

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The wind blades struck the paper wings protecting Shinji Matou's body, producing a crisp metallic sound.

"I've always been this weak! No matter what I do! No matter what I do! I'll always be the protected weakling! I know that very well!" Rem screamed and vented her emotions. The power of the demon was amplified by her emotions, and she unleashed a series of violent wind blades.

"No matter what I do, I can't compare to my sister!"

"If it's my older sister, she can definitely do it! If it's my older sister, she can definitely protect everyone!"

"So! I can't afford not to do it now! I must eliminate all threats and absolutely not let my sister suffer any more harm!"

In this world, the human body contains a "Gate of Life," which determines the limits of how much magic a human can use. After becoming a demon, Rem breaks this limitation and uses her unique horn, which humans do not possess, to devour magic for her own use without restraint.

The impact of the wind blades slashing through the paper wings stung Shinji Matou's skin. Seeing Rem becoming increasingly violent, Shinji Matou dared not be careless. He manipulated the flow of magical energy with his Mystic Eyes and used magic.

"Double reinforcement".

"Structural adjustment".

Paper scraps flew everywhere, their wings crushed by endless wind blades.

Shinji Matou linked his Mystic Eyes with the spell to control the paper wings, clapped his hands together to touch the wings and activated the transmutation circle. All the white paper instantly split into thousands of pages. The splitting and recombination happened in an instant, transforming the swan wings into a high-speed rotating shield with specialized sharp weapon defense capabilities, blocking the storm blades.

Rem is also a battle maniac. Although she lacks combat experience to some extent, she knows that she cannot sit idly by and wait to die. When she sees Shinji Matou casting a spell, she immediately throws out her flail.

boom!

The heavy metal ball smashed the spinning paper shield, and the spiked metal hammer was simultaneously deflected, narrowly missing Shinji Matou.

"caught you!"

The chains rattled, and Rem, gripping the other end of the chain, grinned and swung it violently in another direction. Pulled by this force, the chain that had passed by Matou Shinji lashed out at him like a whip.

Wow~

Shinji Matou calmly manipulated the pages, causing them to fly and gather together. With a horizontal wave of his right hand, he sent thousands of pages exploding, deflecting the incoming chains.

"Rem!"

In the midst of the fierce battle, a startled cry suddenly broke through the battlefield. Rem, who was about to launch a surprise attack, suddenly stiffened and turned her head to look at the source of the sound.

It was the pink-haired maid, Rem's older sister Ram, who rushed over after hearing the loud noise. And coincidentally, Ram was not too far from Matou Shinji.

The demon-transformed Rem cried out urgently, "Sister! Get away from him!"

Ram glanced at Shinji Matou, then at Rem, and sternly reprimanded her: "Rem, explain yourself properly! Why did you attack Emilia-sama's guest!"

"This guy is completely disrespectful! He must be a spy sent by another heir to the throne; he has a strong aura of magic about him! I absolutely will not allow this kind of guy to get close to my sister!"

Ram gripped the hem of her maid's skirt, glanced at Shinji Matou, and asked in a hoarse, heavy voice, seemingly unrelated to the question: "So, you attacked Lady Emilia's guest first?"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Rem laughed maniacally: "All those involved with the Witch Cult deserve to die! They broke my sister's horn, and I can't let this happen to me! I am my sister's replacement, so I will eliminate all threats. Sister, just watch, I will kill this guy."

Ram's face was extremely pale. She knew that Rem's mind was affected by the demonization, and she was unable to maintain rational thinking. If this continued, she might not even recognize her as her older sister.

"You silly little sister, Rem, you're not mine..." Ram hurriedly tried to dissuade her.

Shinji Matou interrupted the sisters' conversation, saying, "That's enough of your gossip. I'm not interested in what's going on between you. Now, it's time to fulfill the prophecy I made."

Ram became even more anxious, her voice now pleading, "Sir! Rem acted impulsively, please forgive her offense!"

"A moment of impulse? Such intense killing intent means you undoubtedly want to kill me."

"Aaaaaah! You're not allowed to talk to your sister! Get out of here!" Rem roared madly as she charged toward Matou Shinji, raising her flail and generating wind blades around her, both of which struck the paper shield simultaneously.

Boom!

Pages burst open everywhere, and a blizzard swept through the courtyard, the shattered paper blocking everyone's view.

"Where! Where are you! Show yourself!"

Rem swung her flail and roared, the light from the front horn on her forehead growing brighter, creating a terrifying storm that swept up the pages of books in the vicinity.

It's time to end this.

Amidst the blizzard, Shinji Matou's mocking voice rang out in the courtyard: "As you wish, let me show you how heartbroken Kami is!"

Suddenly, all the pages froze, unaffected by the raging storm.

An ominous premonition enveloped Rem and Ram's hearts, like a human facing a natural disaster, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness.

Something is about to happen.

Rem had experienced this feeling before. When she was a baby, she remembered the moment when the twins were executed for violating the taboo of the Oni race. She remembered the tree that was struck by lightning and fell towards her in flames, and she remembered Ram having his Oni horn cut off in front of her.

dead!

This feeling is the sense of powerlessness that arises when an individual faces an inescapable threat of death.
