Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 532 Absorbing Saber
Between heaven and earth, pure white light engulfed everything, and sound completely disappeared, only slowly returning after a long time.

Call ~
Call ~
Emiya Shirou gasped for breath as he looked at the scene before him, where half a corpse still stood in place.

His upper body looked as if a giant sword had sliced ​​through his waist.

Tao Pai Pai's handsome yet sinister face had long since disappeared.

In the sky, the thunderclouds completely dissipated, and above the ruins of Fuyuki City, a huge chasm tens of thousands of meters long was broken in the middle.

Because the city's foundation was already broken, the damage caused by this sword strike was far beyond imagination.

But Shirou Emiya had no time to think about anything else. He just clutched his heart and then felt fresh air rush into his lungs, and the world seemed to turn colorful again.

Tao Pai Pai unleashed a terrifying aura, stunning everyone instantly, and then began a brutal hunt. He felt as if the world he knew was about to be completely destroyed by this monster.

This was not the Holy Grail War he had imagined.

Both Rin Tohsaka and Saber told him that the Holy Grail War was just a war among magicians, a special struggle hidden behind the real world.

However, Tao Pai Pai turned the Holy Grail War into a brutal killing field.

The thought of Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou being struck by lightning made him tense again.

"Saber, let's hurry and go check on Tohsaka and..."

Shirou Emiya suddenly froze, his heart plunging into despair as if he had witnessed the most terrifying scene, and he even forgot to breathe.

He looked at Saber, who stood motionless in front of him, and who hadn't uttered a sound since that sword strike.

A sudden, sharp pain shot through my heart.

He was suddenly gripped by a strong sense of panic. Even though they hadn't known each other for very long, Saber's integrity and strength had left a deep impression on him.

She also saved him from danger on several occasions.

Emiya Shirou almost dared not approach.

“Saber?”

"Hey, Saber, are you alright?!"

Emiya Shirou shakily approached the young female knight, and the next moment, his eyes reddened, and tears blurred his vision.

The blonde female knight's hair was loose and draped in front of her, but her dazzling golden hair seemed to have lost its luster and become somewhat dull.

The blue battle skirt was stained with blood, the silver armor was intact, but it seemed that the inside was already broken.

“Saber…”

The girl's emerald eyes trembled twice, her eyelids so heavy that she could hardly lift them, but she still managed to open them.

His eyes were too weak to move, and his head was too heavy to lift.

"Shirou..."

The sound was faint, like the chirping of cicadas.

Shirou Emiya immediately crouched down and came to Saber's side, only to hear her whisper.

"Run away..."

Emiya Shirou was taken aback, not understanding what it meant, but the next moment...

Shit!

The sound of thunder tearing through the sky rang out once more.

A raging wind, accompanied by a chilling aura, wafted out from in front of me.

That terrifying aura, that chilling presence...

Emiya Shirou looked up in disbelief, only to see disgusting fleshy buds twitching rapidly on the mutilated corpse, which was now only half its original body, like maggots intertwining with each other.

Soon, more and more granulation tissue appeared, and the half-destroyed corpse became whole again.

Muscles begin to remodel, blood vessels begin to regenerate, and then the epidermis, with fair skin gradually emerging from the flesh.

"What...what's going on?!"

Emiya Shirou felt a sense of despair. Saber's powerful and decisive attack, that attack that almost cost him his life, hadn't killed this guy?!
The sky suddenly darkened, and thunderclouds completely covered the sky above Fuyuki City.

thump.

The sound of footsteps, which was perfectly normal, reverberated like thunder in Shirou Emiya's ears.

The next moment, a fair hand grabbed his head.

"Ha, even powerful kings have escaped, why should a weakling like you stay here?"

"Is it because of the so-called dream of being a partner of justice, or... stupidity?!" The signature sarcastic tone sent Shirou Emiya plummeting into an icy abyss.

Tao Pai Pai... has indeed come back to life!

Bai Cangshu looked at the panel in front of him.

[Special Feature: Twelve Trials, Resurrection attempts consumed (0/11), please replenish in your inventory or wait for mana to recover naturally]

With just one sword strike, he severed nine of his resurrection attempts.

No, it should be said that this sword strike completely wiped out all the resurrections he had accumulated through the twelve trials. The only reason he hadn't died was because of his own immortality...

In this world, his immortality is quite outstanding!

He was cut in half, yet he was still able to revive.

Even though his physical body is completely destroyed, he is not considered completely dead, because he is an Assassin at this moment.

Of course, at that point, whether or not he could be resurrected would no longer be up to him.

Perhaps he will become something like Roland, the God Hand, from the One Piece world.

Emiya Shirou instinctively struggled, but the large hand above his head didn't budge at all. Bai Cangshu looked at the blond knight who was still standing and showed an expression of appreciation.

Bai Cangshu casually tossed Emiya Shirou aside, then began to gently clap his hands. [Ghost Disc: Shared Fate] is a skill that can lock onto a target within the field of vision and transmit the damage received to the target in the same way, similar to a mutual destruction skill.

He acquired it long ago, but never had a suitable opportunity to use it. In this world, by using his powerful immortality to target Saber, who had lost [Avalon, the ideal land far removed from the world], it was as if Saber's powerful sword not only killed Hakusou, but also killed himself.

He kept clapping, for Saber, for Artoria, the King of Knights, who had indeed given him a huge surprise.

This level of power cannot be explained by the Star Sword being strong enough, nor by Saber's high level of magic release.

From Bai Cangshu's perspective, this abnormal power amplification can only be explained in one way.

Or rather, the so-called oath and the sword of victory itself contained the heart of this knight-king and countless people who followed her and died.

That sword strike was like the mighty power of heaven.

clap clap clap!
Bai Cangshu clapped his hands as he approached, then placed one hand on Artoria's head.

A dark power then erupted.

[Entrance by a spirit]!
The white aura emitted a strong absorption power, the most powerful force for spiritual beings. In an instant, Saber, whose consciousness had fallen into chaos, began to dissipate.

Emiya Shirou tried to step forward again, but a black hand blade stabbed straight at his neck.

Emiya Shirou instinctively dodged, but he found that no matter how he dodged, he could not get rid of the hand chop.

"Stop, Assassin!"

Bai Cangshu's hand blade stopped just before the boy's neck, the sharp force cutting a small wound on the boy's neck.

Ilya stopped White Cangshu.

At this moment, the Knight King's servant's body finally shattered, transforming into a blue-white spirit that entered Hakusou's body.

At this moment, Bai Cangshu felt immense satisfaction.

It wasn't just about gaining a little more soul energy; more importantly, it was the exhilaration of achieving one's goal.

[You have taken in a new spirit, Heroic Spirit Artoria]

[Soul Energy +6, Current Status: ?]

[Special Properties - The Lesser Grail Begins to Activate...]

[Starting up...]

Before Illya and Shirou Emiya could speak, Shirakami suddenly felt a strong power emerge within his body.

That power was so immense that it far surpassed that of any individual heroic spirit.

Almost instantly, it tore apart the already somewhat shattered boundaries of Bai Cangshu's sea of ​​consciousness.

puff!
Blood spurted from Bai Cangshu's mouth and nose, but he felt no pain whatsoever. His face was filled with fanaticism as he looked towards the distant ruins of Liudong Temple, or more precisely, towards the location of the Great Grail there.

It happened faster than he expected. Perhaps it was because the White Face had already merged with Gilgamesh, so when the White Face was accommodated, Gilgamesh's existence was also accommodated. Or perhaps the shattering of the ley lines had a certain impact on the Greater Grail ritual.

In short, Hakusou saw that the outcome—his complete victory in the Holy Grail War—had already occurred...

He opened his arms, letting the heroic spirits begin to pierce the outer wall of his consciousness.

"Here it comes! As the Lesser Grail, I summon the Greater Grail... Ha~"
