Unlimited Blade Works of the Raging Dimension 52

Title: Dangerous Beasts

“What’s happening!”

“General, a large number of dangerous beasts, even giant dangerous beasts, have appeared in the imperial capital, and they are very close to the palace.”

“What?!”

After briefly questioning the guard who came to report the news, Budo and Shirou exchanged glances and saw a hint of surprise in each other’s eyes.

It was almost impossible for dangerous beasts to appear in the imperial capital and go unnoticed until they approached the palace.

“Follow me.”

Without further ado, Budo rushed out of the room, followed by the guards. After calming Chouri, Shirou followed him out.

Budo and Shirou were not ordinary people, so their speed was naturally very fast. Moreover, the imperial palace walls were very close to Budo’s residence, so they arrived at the scene in just a few dozen seconds.

The palace walls were very high, even comparable to city walls. As the last line of defense surrounding the palace, the walls were designed to be easy to defend but difficult to attack. With just a thousand elite soldiers, they could even hold off an enemy force of 100,000. Of course, this did not include Imperial Arms users.

As he climbed the city wall, Budo took out a telescope to observe the situation, while Shirou surveyed the surroundings with Clairvoyance.

There was no need to point out the direction specifically; the chaotic scene not far away told the whole story.

Countless humanoid dangerous beasts were wreaking havoc in the imperial capital, pouncing on panicked citizens and immediately tearing someone apart and devouring them.

This was not the most attention-grabbing part. Not far away, five giant dangerous beasts over 20 meters tall caught the attention of almost everyone. The tall buildings in the imperial capital could not even block them.

“Damn it.” Budo stared at the scene before him, his fists clenched tightly, and the anger in his eyes seemed about to explode.

“All of Guard Teams 2 and 3 are deployed to assist the citizens in evacuating and exterminating the dangerous beasts. Teams 1 and 4 will guard the palace. Quickly relay the message!!!”

“Yes!”

Budo’s orders were passed down, and most of the trained guards were sent to eliminate the dangerous beasts.

At this moment, Shirou stared at the giant in front of him, and a light suddenly shone in his eyes.

‘These dangerous beasts are Stylish’s experiments.’

Scenes from the soul fragments appeared in his mind. These dangerous beasts were Dr. Stylish’s test subjects. After his death, these dangerous beasts were discovered by Syura and considered new toys. He released the dangerous beasts, causing many casualties, and even let Esdeath face the giant dangerous beasts. Of course, the dangerous beasts were completely defeated by Esdeath.

‘However, the timing of this is too coincidental.’ Shirou thought so.

Indeed, he had just uprooted the minister’s followers, but Honest was nowhere to be seen. At this moment, these dangerous beasts jumped out and even quickly attacked the center of the imperial capital.

It was somewhat suspicious.

Shirou suddenly raised his head. He had just thought of something. The Imperial Guardian: Shikoutazer that appeared in the original work, and when Wild Hunt was besieged, the alchemist named Dorothea had not yet appeared, and Shirou thought the other party was hiding, and even asked Budo to look for her. However, after thinking about it, Dorothea helped Honest remotely control Shikoutazer.

“General Budo, leave this to me, and you go to the palace as quickly as possible.”

“Hmm... Could it be...”

Budo also reacted at this moment. Although he did not know about Shikoutazer and Dorothea, at this moment, the person most likely to do such a thing was Honest. At this moment, the emperor’s safety was even more important.

“Thank you. Then, I’ll leave it to you.”

Budo did not waste words, turned around, and quickly walked towards the inner palace.

Shirou also did not stay idle. With a wave of his right hand, he released Keith, who had not been seen for a long time.

Keith, who had just been released, seemed a bit confused. Due to its large size, it was inconvenient to keep it in the imperial capital, so Shirou placed it in a small space attached to his own mental world.

While gently stroking Keith’s wings, Shirou turned and stood on top of it.

“Let’s go!”

Keith flapped its wings, and its huge body flew into the air, causing the guards on the city wall to retreat.

Shirou bent his bow and drew his arrow. With Clairvoyance, he easily aimed at the head of one of the giant dangerous beasts.

*SWOOSH!*

He released the bowstring with his right hand, and the large spiral sword shot out like a meteor, hitting the target without any surprise.

“Caladbolg II — Broken Phantasm!”

*BOOM!*

A huge explosion shot into the sky, and the entire upper body of the giant dangerous beast exploded like a balloon. A mixture of flesh, blood, and internal organs fell like a rainstorm, dyeing the surrounding environment a deep red.

Shirou also held back. After all, this was still the imperial capital. If he truly unleashed his full power, there was a possibility that citizens within a radius of several hundred meters would not have a chance to survive.

The devastating attack also attracted the attention of the other four giant dangerous beasts. Seeing Keith’s large body, the four giant dangerous beasts ran towards Shirou with their mouths wide open and disgusting saliva flowing out.

“This is really troublesome, let’s finish them all at once.”

Just as Shirou was about to draw his sword again, a beam of light and dozens of missiles hit the head of one of the dangerous beasts.

*BOOM!* *BOOM!* *BOOM!*

The huge explosion caused the giant dangerous beast’s body to stagger back a few steps, and its bright red blood flowed out from the large wound and dripped to the ground along its huge body.

“Just leave this one to me. There were no worthy opponents last night. I almost died of boredom.”

A strong voice came, and with it came a large number of ice blades. The ice blades, like a rainstorm, directly pierced the other dangerous beast into a sieve. The extremely low temperature even froze the wounds, and not a trace of blood could flow out.

Shirou looked in the direction of the attack. The Jaegers and Night Raid led by Esdeath and Najenda had truly joined forces to fight the enemy, cooperating with the Guards to surround and suppress the dangerous beasts on the ground.

“Shirou, just leave this to us. You probably have more important things to do. Go now.”

Wave, who had already equipped Grand Chariot, shouted to Shirou in the air. Now he was carefully protecting Kurome, who had summoned all her corpse puppets, and eliminating the dangerous beasts.

“Alright then, Esdeath. I’ll leave this place to you. I’ll go to the palace first.”

“Originally, I wanted to show off my new technique, but it seems there’s no hope.” Esdeath said while touching her forehead with a hint of sadness.

Shirou did not listen to them and directly flew towards the palace under Keith’s control. However, the slight smile at the corner of his mouth showed that he was in a good mood at the moment.

Although Shirou would not need much time to act, the situation was just right. The battlefield was the easiest place to build friendships.

The Jaegers and Night Raid, originally enemies, now joined forces to fight the enemy. Wasn’t that great?

Seeing Shirou leave, Esdeath said to Najenda, “Although it’s very unpleasant, you’re better at deploying troops, so I’ll follow your orders for now.”

“Alright.” Najenda said without hesitation, “Mine, Sheele, you attack and take down the giant dangerous beasts, Run, you assist them from the air.”

“Yes!” *3

The three of them smiled at each other and immediately began to act.

“Leone and Wave will cooperate with Kurome to eliminate the small dangerous beasts on the ground. Lubbock and Susanoo will assist the citizens in evacuating. Tatsumi, you protect Mine and Seryu and the others.”

“Want to compete? I won’t lose this time.” Wave said to Tatsumi.

“I’m fine with that.” Tatsumi immediately agreed.

“In that case, I can act freely, and the remaining big one will be mine.” After saying this, Esdeath jumped and rushed towards the remaining dangerous beast on the field.
