Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War

So, come on!

Let's see who survives!

The holy sword and the divine sword slashed at each other, their intersecting blades signifying an unstoppable force.

"Pfft!!"

"Pfft!!"

The sound of a sword slicing through flesh echoed, blood splattering everywhere, staining the dock crimson.

Chapter 49 You lost to the version of yourself that lacked the will to survive!

"Tick tock."

"puff!"

The spilled blood splashed onto the ground like ocean waves.

Saber and Kenshin each inflicted different injuries on the other.

but.

"Cough cough."

He fell to the ground, but Kenshin knew that this round of combat...

He lost.

The opponent deliberately released the "Sword of Victory Oath" to lure him into getting close.

"Assassin"

"Your swordsmanship and movement are quite impressive, especially considering the progress you've made in such a short period of time."

"But you have a fatal flaw."

Lying on the ground, one could vaguely turn their head and see Saber half-crouching on the ground, clutching her wound.

defect?

I vaguely remember hearing this term four or five years ago when I was practicing swordsmanship with my master on the mountain.

I never expected to hear the enemy say that word to me again.

The other person's emerald green pupils trembled slightly.

That was a look of pity.

"You must have been walking the path of Asura, constantly slaying enemies, right?"

"It's incredible that you can still sense the 'goodness' in you even after killing so many people."

It's rare to find an assassin whose mind is neither broken nor twisted.

"I remember a certain country describing assassins in this way."

"Death warrior."

Having vaguely grasped some of the knowledge, Kenshin, panting, knew what the other party was talking about.

"You are simply the embodiment of that."

"In every battle, I can feel your sharp and ruthless killing skills."

"In terms of swordsmanship and movement, you are superior to me, the king. In close combat, you should have the advantage no matter what."

But now, you've lost to me.

"We didn't lose because of the difference in weaponry, nor because of the difference in 'skill'."

Despite being hit, Saber managed to stand up unsteadily.

That blood-stained figure was so upright and tenacious.

"You lost to the part of yourself that lacked the will to survive!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, Kenshin's pupils constricted sharply.

(Too much. Just think about how to survive.)

(You must stay alive)

Even his breathing became labored, and his thoughts drifted back to the distant past.

Kenshin only learned a portion of the Hiten Mitsurugi style from Hiko Seijuro before leaving the mountain alone.

Ignoring his master's objections.

What awaited him was...

A turbulent era. Bloodshed and brutal killings. Deceit and treachery.

In that kind of world, what is needed is immense strength and a ruthless heart.

The will to survive?

Kenshin had already given up on that when he was an executioner.

If he were afraid of death, he would have been killed long ago.

It is precisely because of this "ruthlessness"—his fearlessness in the face of death when fighting the enemy—that he has lived to this day.

Now, for the first time, someone has said that the reason for their defeat was that they were "not afraid of death".

"Each attack is primarily aimed at killing the enemy."

"Each action leaves the enemy no chance to breathe."

Continuing her conversation, Saber slowly spoke.

"I wouldn't even try to avoid an attack that could cause minor injuries."

"If there's trouble you can't avoid, you'll try to trade blows with the opponent."

"If you can exchange injury for the enemy's death, you won't consider the consequences."

"You've killed countless people, and you don't even value your own life anymore!"

Having uncovered what had happened during their brief exchange, Saber was relieved that she had succeeded.

Faced with such a fast and "fearless" swordsman, all Saber could do was try her best to survive.

Fortunately, she did it.

He narrowly avoided Kenshin's deadly sword strike, but was severely injured.

On the other hand, Kenshin failed to dodge her attack, resulting in fatal injury.

You should cherish yourself more.

"If you're dead, you can't do anything."

"This is a form of recognition of his long-standing contributions," Saber said, looking at Kenshin lying on the ground, still bleeding.

"Can you tell me your name?"

Finally, Saber looked at the assassin whose magic was beginning to fade and asked that question.

They became acquainted through a misunderstanding, but they still didn't know each other's names.

"Himura Kenshin!"

"I've remembered your name."

"Cough cough!"

Upon hearing Saber's words, Kenshin slowly closed his eyes.

Perhaps because it was his first encounter with the so-called "death," Kenshin's thoughts were inexplicably complicated.

(Is this what death is?)

He truly never considered what would happen if he died.

He descended the mountain in a daze, driven by passion, only to be met with a cold and dark era.

They finally found a "companion" on that dark road, but it was all destroyed in an instant.

Having been "lured" here, I will ultimately lose my life here as well.

Saber, Archer, Berserker, Rider, Lancer, Caster

He has seen many strange things, including those Masters of all kinds.

Unfortunately, this was the end of Himura Battosai's life.

He ultimately did just as Saber had said.

It has significant flaws.

The will to live

Those were indeed things I had abandoned.
