Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 529 One Against Many, a Powerful Enemy Tao Pai Pai (3.5K+)

Just as Saber was about to unleash her Noble Phantasm, she saw the white-haired Archer being thrown at her like a cannonball, so she had no choice but to give up unleashing her Noble Phantasm.

As he dodged to the side, he dragged his sword and charged towards Tao Pai Pai.

At this point, the others finally realized that this was an asymmetrical battle.

Shit!

Suddenly, a terrifying thunderclap rang out, and dark clouds began to gather in the sky, accompanied by surging thunder.

Despite being besieged by Saber and Archer, Tao Pai Pai still had some strength left, and used some new ability.

Standing at the back, Ilya frowned slightly. She was constantly having a large amount of magic power drained from her. Assassin's extraordinary performance was also accompanied by a large amount of magic power consumption.

If Illya weren't his Master, the White Cang Shu's class would actually be a constraint for him.

The same applies to other Servants; their class limits their abilities.

The jet-black giant Berserker looked at Illya standing behind Tao Pai Pai from afar, his eyes flashing red, like a malfunctioning robot.

As the most powerful Heroic Spirit in close combat here, he is the one who truly possesses the ability to fight Hakucō in close combat.

But because of Ilya's presence, this dark giant is constantly suppressing his frenzied fighting spirit.

stomping on...

Footsteps sounded quickly. Sasaki Kojiro's steps were not particularly fast, but they were light and agile. His body was tilted almost parallel to the ground, as if he were flying close to the ground.

The trunk was suddenly slashed horizontally.

The sword light flashed instantly.

Bai Cangshu turned his head and raised his left index finger.

Keng!
The sword light disappeared from his left hand. He then bent his fingers into a palm, took a step forward, and his left palm, carrying a terrifying shockwave, struck directly from hundreds of meters away.

【Cloud-Dispelling Palm - Overwhelming Force】!
boom!
The violent shockwave, like a wall, slammed into Sasaki Kojiro along with the force of the air, which was then engulfed in white waves.

Sasaki Kojiro's eyes were sharp. He neither dodged nor avoided. Just as the wall of energy was about to hit him, he took a heavy step down, his overly long dachi sword slashing down from top to bottom.

A silver line sliced ​​through the air wall.

Boom!

The airflow and force surged wildly in all directions. Sasaki Kojiro's deep blue hair was struck by a wisp of force, causing his hair tie to come undone and his hair to scatter.

He revealed a satisfied smile, and as he twisted his body, the sword's momentum changed again. He was now more than ten meters in front of Bai Cangshu, and he slashed down with his sword.

Even before the intense sharpness reached his body, it had already stimulated Bai Cangshu's skin to begin to develop dragon scales.

This is a duel between a master of swordsmanship and a master of martial arts, and also a duel between a true and a false Assassin.

Bai Cangshu also became interested, and after striking out with one palm, he clapped his hands together in quick succession.

【Cloud-Dispelling Palm - Turning Clouds and Rain】!
The palm winds resembled enormous, blazing white palm prints, striking Sasaki Kojiro repeatedly from a distance.

Sasaki Kojiro's breath hitched slightly, and before he could make a move, a purple aurora had already lit up.

It was a figure that could be described as extremely fast, arriving in an instant from a distance of about four thousand meters away.

Its speed far surpassed that of any of the heroic spirits present.

With Bai Cangshu's [First of First] and [Heart Net] complete, his body instantly became illusory, like a bubble.

Medusa, rushing towards them, had her eyes completely hidden beneath her blindfold, and the stakes connected by silver chains in her hands pierced through the bubble.

She was now absolutely certain that this Assassin not only possessed strength comparable to the Berserker, but also speed and reflexes on par with her own as a Rider.

boom!
Medusa planted her feet into the ground, and amidst the exploding rubble, she instantly lost momentum and sped off in another direction.

Sasaki Kojiro's sword stance was also interrupted by Medusa's attack, and the hand gripping the hilt of his sword dissipated the stance of [Secret Sword: Swallow Return].

hum!
But a figure appeared in front of him again. Sasaki Kojiro's expression changed, and he was about to raise his sword again, but a flurry of leg shadows had already appeared.

【Wind God Leg - Gale and Torrential Rain】!
bang bang bang...

A series of impacts rang out, and Sasaki Kojiro, holding his greatsword horizontally, was instantly blasted away, landing lifeless.

As the Servant, covered in wounds but unable to pinpoint the fatal injury, slowly disappeared, the Heroic Spirit Emiya watched.

frown.

"Be careful, he might have some kind of special ability!"

Saber once again stood in front of Hakusoku, constantly wielding Excalibur and the Sword of Victory, while Tao Pai Pai disappeared and reappeared like a phantom.

"It's an instant-kill attack."

A female voice rang out, her long purple hair fluttering in the wind. Rider Medusa, empowered by her Master's magic, exuded intense confidence.

Even under the effect of [Self-Sealing Dark Temple], she still keenly sensed several strong auras of death within the rapid and intense kicking techniques just now.

That swordsman follower was directly annihilated by that aura of death, without any resistance.

【You have embraced a new soul, Heroic Spirit Sasaki Kojiro】

As she spoke, the purple eye patch on Medusa's face disappeared, and her whole body began to radiate a faint purple glow. Bai Cangshu was very familiar with that look; it was the form of a Servant whose strength was enhanced when she was wearing a Command Seal.

He looked up and saw that several kilometers away, the girl named Matou Sakura had stood up on the high, broken ground, her long dress fluttering in the wind, and a strange smile appeared on her face.

"Ah~ I see, so you've also achieved completion..."

Bai Cangshu guessed the development of events almost instantly. A purple aurora appeared, and after receiving a full supply of magic power, the most powerful servant here had changed.

Compared to Berserker, who is corrupted by the black mud and lacks rationality and a continuous supply of magic, and Saber, who is always in a state of mana deficiency.

This Medusa, possessing divine essence, has become the strongest in reality.

Medusa moved like lightning, piercing through Tao Pai Pai's illusion once more. She stepped on the chains behind the stakes she had shot out, seemingly frozen in mid-air in front of Bai Cangshu.

Those terrifying [Petrifying Demon Eyes - Cybele] from the mythical era opened in an instant.

But Tao Pai Pai, as if she had foreseen the future, had already closed her eyes.

hum!
As if teleporting, Medusa's petrification eyes, which are of the highest level, easily captured Tao Pai Pai's movements of stomping dozens of times in the air in an instant. The next moment, Tao Pai Pai appeared out of the wind.

A terrifying force accompanied the whooshing sound of the air as the pitch-black fist slammed into his own head.

Medusa instantly lowered her body, her supple form seemingly lying on the ground. With a shattering sound above her head, Medusa took a step and appeared behind Tao Pai Pai. Her nameless short sword suddenly lashed out towards Tao Pai Pai's temple.

Keng!
Just then, slender, pale fingers appeared beside his head, catching the sword steadily.

call out!
Medusa, like a purple ribbon, retreated hundreds of meters in an instant after missing her target.

She now realized that this Tao Pai Pai was indeed troublesome, possessing remarkably sophisticated blind fighting skills, using this method to avoid her magic eyes.

"I am the bone of my sword."

"Steel is my body, and fire is my blood."

……

The chanting sound reached Bai Cangshu's ears. Bai Cangshu turned around and, sure enough, saw the Heroic Spirit Emiya with one hand outstretched towards him.

In the distance, Kuzuki Souichirou, with his arms hanging behind him, charged toward Illya like an arrow, while Medea floated above him, holding a strangely shaped short sword in her hand.

Further away, a dark-haired man lay prone in the shadow of a raised mound of earth, his crosshair once again aimed at the terrifying Tao Pai Pai through his scope.

Bai Cangshu was overjoyed to see that everyone was finally taking this war seriously.

No conspiracies, no sentimentality, just pure, head-on combat – that's the Holy Grail War he wanted.

Bai Cangshu ignored the Heroic Spirit Emiya who was unleashing [Unlimited Blade Works] and raised his right index finger.

In an instant, the rolling thunderclouds in the sky seemed to approach the ground, and the terrifying sense of oppression made people feel uneasy.

[The Thunder Arrow of Destiny]!
Perhaps it's because Bai Cangshu has just become a true "savior" in this world, saving the world and gaining the trust of Gaia and Alaya.

This time, the [Thunder Arrow of Destiny] is incredibly terrifying.

The lightning in the sky moved through the clouds like a giant dragon, and then suddenly fell from the sky following Bai Cangshu's finger.

Shit!

The sky darkened for a moment, then suddenly became extremely bright, its light engulfing everything.

A scream rang out, and Medusa's expression changed. She turned around and saw that the high, protruding rock where Matou Sakura had stood had turned into wisps of smoke.

Whether it was the massive rock formation nearly 10,000 meters high, Matou Sakura, or Tohsaka Rin who was specially brought there by Archer, they all disappeared.

"You...you guy..."

Emiya Shirou's eyes were lifeless, then his face twisted instantly. He got up from the ground and rushed towards Hakusou.

Even faster than him was Medusa; a purple aurora flashed past Bai Cangshu's side in an instant, and her short sword was already piercing Bai Cangshu's neck.

This time, she was certain that the other person had not closed their eyes, and the terrifying magic power instantly acted on them through the petrifying magic eye.

hum!
Bai Cangshu shuddered, and the cell activity in his limbs immediately disappeared. Not only was the activity lost, but even his life force was being lost.

His smile grew increasingly greedy, his long white hair danced behind him, and he closed his eyes, beginning to try to understand the nature of that demonic eye.

But when he opened his eyes, the world had vanished, leaving only the final chanting of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works.

Giant gears rolled across the sky, flames raged all around, and various weapons were stuck in the ground.

"Unlimited Blade Works, huh..."

Bai Cangshu raised his head, and several streams of light exploded. Instead of retreating, he advanced rapidly towards the Heroic Spirit Palace.

[Fantasy Collapse]!
Boom!

The terrifying power of launching and detonating the copied Noble Phantasm as a one-time consumable completely shattered the air in front of Bai Cangshu, and the impact interrupted Bai Cangshu's forward momentum.

As the smoke dissipated, a figure rushed forward, a large, black sword gripping his hands. He swung the sword with both hands as he charged, delivering a fierce slash.

In that instant, it seemed as if a muscular, robust man appeared behind the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

Is this... Guts's technique?!

The Heroic Spirit Emiya saw himself slaying the dragon with the black sword and clashing with Heracles. At that moment, he copied the sword and possessed the original owner's martial arts skills and strength...

"Ha... I never expected that a partner of justice could pull off such a technique..."

Emiya, the Heroic Spirit, didn't bother with any more words to Tao Pai Pai. He had already made up his mind, and at this moment, he felt his physical strength greatly increase.

Although he didn't expect that the sword's owner wasn't Tao Pai Pai, the original owner was equally powerful!

He unleashed a sword strike, and a dark shockwave emanated from the blade, instantly tearing the air apart.

The enormous sword light instantly spanned nearly a thousand meters, completely slicing through the ground.

This is swordsmanship from the One Piece world. White Cang Technique confirms that Guts did indeed undergo some enhancements after becoming a Reincarnator.

Suddenly, a flash of light appeared in Bai Cangshu's hand, and a pitch-black greatsword appeared, which was the true form of the Black Sword - Dragon Slayer.

He grabbed the sword and smashed it violently at Heroic Spirit Emiya.

He had absolutely no swordsmanship skills, but his strength was terrifying.

Keng!
The two swords clashed, and a blazing white shockwave exploded out from it. Bai Cangshu realized that the Heroic Spirit Emiya at this moment actually possessed strength no less than his own.

Emiya, the Heroic Spirit, also realized this, and once again used projection magic to copy a Noble Phantasm, throwing it directly at Tao Pai Pai at close range.

boom!
Flames exploded, but a man shrouded in a dark, domineering aura smashed through the smoke and appeared arrogantly in front of the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

The Heroic Spirit Emiya gripped his sword again, ready to strike, but instead met the opponent's gaze first.

In those purple eyes, a terrifying power seemed to instantly enter his body.

"This is……"

The Heroic Spirit Emiya felt his body stiffen instantly, his limbs began to turn to stone, and the next moment, a jet-black heavy sword swept across him with a thunderous roar.

puff!
[You have defeated the Servant Emiya Shirou. Main Quest: The Flower of Evil, progress updated.]

You have welcomed a new heroic spirit.

[You have been affected by the Lesser Grail, a special property, and you now possess the ability to sense the Greater Grail.]
