Alcides professes his intention to murder a sleeping child

“…Where is the child who harbors a Heroic Spirit?”
The bowman was already turning to face the hospital as he spoke. He must have been asking in what part of which floor the girl was to be found.
“If we tell you,” one of the police officers screwed up their courage and asked the bowman, “what are you… going to do to her?”
“Naturally, I shall slay her in a frontal assault, in accordance with the rules of the Holy Grail War.”
The police officers murmured. This being, whose appearance made them feel a strength unlike that of an ordinary Heroic Spirit, this being cloaked in such an air of intimidation that it made the Assassin they had fought the other day seem sweet, was declaring his intention to murder an unconscious little girl “fairly, in a frontal assault.”
“…Bullshi—”
One of the officers shouted, realizing what the words meant. His angry voice was drowned out by the roar of an explosion.
The shaft the bowman had loosed by way of a threat pierced the asphalt, blasting a circumference of ten meters to smithereens and creating a small crater. A number of nearby officers were caught in the blast. Several lost consciousness on the spot.
“You need not answer; just don’t interfere.”
Then, the bowman pulled his bow taut.
The police officers soon realized what he was planning to do. This bowman intended to completely destroy the large, ten-story hospital with nothing but his bow. After seeing the crater he had left in the asphalt with a warning shot, no one found the idea absurd.
Then, before the police could move to stop him, he unleashed a strike from his fully drawn bow.
