Curse Reply: I'm going to fight the Myriad Corpse Immortal, the highest level one!

At the same moment, her long hair, which was flowing under her cloak, suddenly changed. The originally soft black hair stood up as if it had been given life, extended, hardened, and turned into dozens of slender and sharp blades. Together with the blade in her hand, they attacked Xia Jie from different directions at the same time.

Like the Delusional Heartbeat, this is another Noble Phantasm that she studied and imitated from the previous Hassan.

It is a counterfeit with reduced power.

Kyoko has many Noble Phantasms, but none of them are as powerful as the original.

Just like this fantastical flash, it reminded Xia Jie of the Cursed Return's hair manipulation technique, which she felt was only so-so.

Xia Jie quickly pulled her legs back, using the momentum of her forward lean to roll forward. The movement was fluid and graceful, like Hakimi landing, and she quickly adjusted her center of gravity.

As he rolled across the ground, Doubao completed his second round of imitation.

"Flash of Fantasy".

Her voice fell during the gaps in Kyonobu's attacks, remaining as calm as if she were reading aloud.

Several sharp blades, similar in shape to the hair blades of the Mad Nobunaga, coalesced from her hair and met her downward slash with almost the same speed and mirror-like trajectory.

Counterfeit vs. counterfeit of counterfeit.

Chapter 166 The Chaos is About to Begin

The blades clashed in mid-air, sparking a string of tiny sparks.

At that moment, a few drops of blood, carried by the swift movement of the blade, splashed onto Xia Jie.

Having just rolled over once, Xia Jie used both hands to push off the ground and jumped back, avoiding the few seemingly ordinary drops of blood.

Kyoko possesses a treasure called "Delusional Poison Body," which allows her to poison her own body.

In other words, these few drops of blood are highly likely to be extremely poisonous.

"Dream Essence".

As Xia Jie dodged the blood, a new Noble Phantasm was unleashed.

Using Noble Phantasms consumes a lot of mana, and Kyoko was able to use them repeatedly thanks to her Dead Apostle Master's abundant mana supply.

Kyoko herself was unaware of this because she didn't understand the relationship between Servants and Masters.

Even now, she still believes that her magician master has been killed by "Delusional Heartbeat" which crushed his heart. Little did she know that her master "Dead Apprentice Jesta" had more than one life.

As the "Dream Fluid" was released, a song that transcended human hearing frequencies spread out, reaching Xia Jie and Dou Bao's ears, vibrating their internal organs, and impacting their brains.

In the previous exchange, Kyoko had already tested Master Natsuki's martial arts skills and found them to be quite formidable. However, no matter how powerful her dodging skills were, she could not escape the omnipresent "sound"!

This Noble Phantasm causes magic circuits to go out of control, making it a nemesis of magicians.

Unfortunately, Xia Jie is not a magician.

Moreover, as Xia Jie's body trembled violently under the command of her will, the vibrations from the Dream Essence were perfectly neutralized, preventing Xia Jie's movements in dodging the poisonous blood from being distorted in the slightest.

"The essence of dreams..."

Doubao's chanting came to an abrupt halt.

"We don't have enough tokens, Master."

In addition to needing the magical power required to unleash the Noble Phantasm, Doubao's imitation also requires consuming a large number of "tokens".

The faster the imitation, the faster the tokens are consumed; the more perfect the imitation, the more tokens are consumed.

Just as human thinking requires brainpower, tokens are the brainpower, inspiration, and imagination of AI.

Once summoned, the recovery and storage of Bean Bun's tokens depend on its limited spiritual origin scale.

It can be said that the human-shaped bean bun that appears in the world is just an empty shell; the spiritual core inside is her brain and soul.

You can't catch a wolf without spending tokens. First of all, in order to maintain intelligence, human nature, and self-iteration, Doubao normally needs to consume a lot of tokens.

Secondly, the continuous copying of Noble Phantasms and support battles have reduced Beanbag's tokens to an extremely limited level.

If it goes any lower, it'll turn into a drooling candy bag.

Therefore, Doubao needs to wait a while to recover its token.

"That's enough, Doubao, Kuangxinzi has already left."

Xia Jie could kill her, but there was no need. He wanted to see Kyoko and her Master Jesta tear each other apart, fanatic vs. heretic, woman vs. woman.

Watching women fight is like eating a Chocolat. This is also recorded in "iPartment".

On the rooftop of the high-rise building, Kuang Xinzi appeared in front of the body of the plainclothes assassin that Xia Jie had killed, looking down at Xia Jie and the other person below.

This is a tricky situation for the master and servant.

The blonde servant with the sword over at the opera house could also join the battle at any moment, creating a multi-party melee, or even temporarily forming an alliance to deal with her alone.

To prevent the worst-case scenario from occurring, Kyoko wisely chose to shift her strategy.

Assassin-class Servants' advantage never lies in direct combat, but in perfect stealth under the "Presence Concealment" and unexpected attacks against their Masters.

On the empty street, Xia Jie looked at the opera house with a huge hole blasted in it, and patted Doubao on the shoulder, who was slightly dumbfounded due to a lack of tokens:

"Let's go and meet the Lionheart."

This servant who wields a tree branch as a holy sword is quite to Xia Jie's liking.

After all, who hasn't dreamed of a peerless sword when they saw a straight tree branch as a child?

Even after growing up, seeing a straight stick still evokes the same fantasies and fondness, which can be considered as keeping one's original aspirations unchanged.

Ta-da-ta-ta-ta-ta~~~

The sound of helicopter propellers drew closer, and the golden light cannon that had just shot into the sky had clearly triggered a response from the military forces of Snowfield City.

In addition, many residents of Xueyuan City have already completed a series of actions such as resigning, packing their bags, and moving their families out of the city.

After all, a large meteorite crater was blasted out of the wilderness outside the city just last night, and less than 24 hours later, there was another loud rumbling sound inside Snowfield City tonight.

Anyone would be agitated in this situation.

The people of Yukihara City aren't like those in Fuyuki City who wouldn't budge even if there were gas explosions every day. Even if there are magical hints throughout the city, any intelligent citizen can sense that something is amiss.

In the real world of "The Extraordinary World," the people of this land rife with conspiracy theories have become, in a sense, enlightened beings.

Inside the opera house at this moment:

“I ask you.”

Moonlight streamed down from the shattered dome.

The blond knight, clad in armor, a red cloak draped over his shoulders, and wielding a sharp longsword, turned to look at the blond, blue-eyed girl, "Fake Ayaka Sajou," who had fallen to the ground:

"Are you my Master?"

"no!"

Ayaka Sajou looked up, her eyes resolute: "I will no longer let you do whatever you want!"

"So please, stop interfering with me."

It's no wonder she was breathing on Richard as soon as she was rescued; from her perspective, the journey had been quite difficult.

In her fragmented memories, she was first ordered by a mysterious white-haired woman to come to Snowfield City to participate in the Holy Grail War.

Although I said I was going to participate, I didn't really understand anything and didn't want to get involved. But I was helpless and was tormented by the "Little Red Riding Hood curse" from my memory from time to time.

Then, less than half a day after arriving in this unfamiliar place, he was kidnapped by a magician who interrogated him about his purpose in coming to Snowfield City.

The magician also wanted to summon King Arthur and order him to kill him.

The next second, the magician's heart exploded on the spot, and blood splattered on his face.

Then, the woman with the deadpan gaze that could instantly kill a magician suddenly made a close-up move and asked herself if she wanted the Holy Grail.

My body went limp with fear, and my hand slipped and touched the summoning circle, and then...

The summoning circle glowed, and a knight appeared, blasting the opera house ceiling apart with a single sword strike.

Wow, this is a busy downtown area! Aren't you afraid of being mistaken for a terrorist attacker for doing this?

Okay, this is bad, I think I hear the sound of a propeller.

I can imagine that I will not only go to jail, but I might also be shot.

My life is over.

So, when questioned by Richard the Lionheart, she, believing herself to be Ayaka Sajou's magical furnace, reacted instinctively and chose—

ha!!!

Chapter 167 Ends with the First Night.

"Not allowed to move!"

The color of the moonlight suddenly transformed into the harsh, unpleasant white of lamplight.

Three searchlights shone down from above the ruins of the opera house, enveloping the emotionally charged Ayaka Sajou and the bewildered Richard, who was unfamiliar with modern society.

Ayaka instinctively raised her arms to protect her eyes in the sudden burst of bright light, while Richard stood there stunned, looking around.

"Hold your hands behind your head and lie face down on the ground!"

Armed police stormed into the opera house, surrounded the two men, and pointed their gun barrels at their heads and torsos.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta—

"We will arrest you for trespassing, suspected terrorist attacks, and vandalism!"

A cold, hard voice, laced with tension and anger, reached Ayaka Sajou and Richard's ears.

Because of the Noble Phantasm clashes last night, which were packaged as a massive gas explosion, and the added advantage of the opera house being located in the city center, the police are exceptionally efficient tonight.

From the moment Richard released his Noble Phantasm to the arrival of the police, the entire process took less than a minute.

In the eyes of the police, this group was no longer just ordinary terrorists; they had to be dealt with decisively!

Outside the opera house, Xia Jie, holding Dou Bao's hand, pushed through the crowd that had gathered again outside the cordon like bloodthirsty spectators, and walked to a spot directly opposite the opera house entrance, waiting for the "protagonist duo" to be escorted out.

Two minutes passed in the blink of an eye.
