"Huh!? So it wasn't because you have low mana consumption?!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly sprang to her feet like a cat, and said in a subtle tone:
"I thought I could support your expenses on my own."
"This... I think it's probably quite difficult."
Genji thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth. Although it was his first time being a Servant, he knew his own situation and believed that, in terms of his own efforts, it shouldn't be too difficult to squeeze Fujimaru Ritsuka dry.
"Alright, let's put the topic of me aside for now."
Patting the somewhat dejected Fujimaru Ritsuka on the shoulder, Gengo glanced around at the lush, verdant vegetation, as dense as a primeval forest, and said softly:
What trouble have you encountered this time?
"To be honest, we don't know."
Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled wryly, dusted herself off, and said:
"Although you destroyed Goetia last time, the escaped Demon Pillars continued the Human Incineration. Fortunately, you delivered a finishing blow, severely injuring the remnants of the Demon Pillars. Otherwise, we would probably have all been killed in the subsequent raids launched by the Demon Pillars against Chaldea. Ah, I've digressed a bit."
Fujimaru Ritsuka became serious, and finally saw a hint of the heroic spirit of the last Master of Humanity in her:
"Goetia is actually an amalgamation of the seventy-two Demon Gods. In addition, the site of your final battle was located in the 'Temple of Time' in Goetia. Therefore, we suspect that the Magic King left some kind of backup plan on the remnants, allowing them to continue to fabricate singularities in human history. Those guys made some kind of modification to the original singularities to interfere with Chaldea's tracking of them. And we are now in the second singularity that those Demon God Pillars have dealt with."
"A second one? You dealt with one before?"
"Ah."
Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded, sighed wearily, and said:
"Do you remember the dragon-transformed King Arthur we faced in the simulated singularity? In the last singularity, we were dealing with a god-transformed King Arthur, who was ridiculously strong and almost killed us."
"Wow, can such a historical figure really have so many identities?"
Seeing the lingering fear on Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu's faces, Gengo continued to ask while making sarcastic remarks:
"How much information do you know about this singularity?"
"Babylonia, this is the historical Babylonia."
Fujimaru Ritsuka pinched her brow and said:
"If I'm not mistaken, the problem should be in Uruk, the territory where the King of Heroes Gilgamesh resides. However, during the teleportation, we seem to have been attacked by the Demon God. Mash is the only Servant who was supposed to come to this singularity with us. Moreover, our connection with Chaldea has been severed, and we can't even try to summon a new Heroic Spirit for the time being. Really, Genji, if you hadn't appeared in time, Mash and I might have really died here."
"A trap?"
Gensho said thoughtfully:
"But isn't this trap a bit too weak? Eliminating you would force the restoration of humanity to halt, yet they only sent this few monsters. It doesn't make sense. Are they underestimating you? Or is the mastermind also in a precarious situation, forced to deploy only this many troops...?"
The boy frowned slightly, pondering the current situation faced by Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu. Suddenly, he sensed a fluctuation of power, his eyes flashing with murderous intent as he looked to his left and shouted in a low voice:
"come out!"
"Oh! That's quite a keen sense of perception. I, Musashi, have only just been adrift here."
Just then, a female samurai wearing a straw hat, dressed in bright colors, and with two swords at her waist emerged from behind the tree, smiling and waving at Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, saying:
"Hehe~~ Ritsuka, Mashu, we meet again. What a coincidence!"
"Musashi, my lord!"
"Miss Musashi!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, the Chaldeans all cried out in surprise. This swordsman, who was honing his swordsmanship and constantly drifting, had helped them a great deal in the previous singularity, and they never expected to meet him again in the blink of an eye.
"Let me see, let me see, oh dear, I feel like you two have lost weight again."
The newcomer reached out and pinched Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu's cheeks, then gave them a happy hug, before pointing to Genjiro beside them and saying:
"Hey, who is this handsome young man, no, this guy? He's amazing! With that level of killing intent, he must have fought quite a few people. It's making me itchy to fight too."
"Gengo, a detective from Fuuto, and also a Kamen Rider."
Since they weren't enemies, Genji's attitude softened considerably. He pointed to himself and introduced himself, saying:
"For now, I'll consider myself a follower."
"Oh!! So you're the guy who took down Goetia? I've heard about you, that's amazing!"
The newcomer opened his mouth slightly in surprise, then grabbed Yuanxiang's hand and said:
"If possible, please let me spar with you. With your guidance, I believe my cultivation will make great progress!"
"No, no, no, that's an exaggeration. I'm not very skilled in swordsmanship. If I can inspire you in any way, it would be my honor."
When they shook hands, Gensho noticed the calluses on the young lady's palms, undoubtedly the result of years of sword training. And looking into her burning eyes, he could tell she was devoted to the way of the sword. Therefore, the young man dared not boast about himself.
"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself."
The newcomer chuckled and patted Yuanxiang on the shoulder, telling him not to be so modest. Then, he took a step back, placing his hand on Yuanxiang's ample bosom, and said in a spirited tone:
"I am Fujiwara Genshin, the new governor of Musashi Province... Ah, this name is a bit troublesome, I'll choose an easier one..."
"Miyamoto Musashi?!"
Just as the newcomer realized he had made things too complicated, Genji muttered something strangely. The newcomer was taken aback at first, then nodded vigorously and said with a smile:
"Yes, yes, you can call me Miyamoto Musashi. Oh dear, I thought no one would call me that long real name... Arno, Gengo-kun, what's with that expression...?"
Miyamoto Musashi, with a subtle expression, nudged Genji, who was rubbing his forehead and seemed somewhat taken aback, and said:
Why does it look like such a disillusioned dream? Have I disappointed you that much?
"No, no, Miss Miyamoto, please don't misunderstand. It's just... King Arthur was a woman, Miyamoto Musashi was a woman... Following this pattern, all the historical figures I know might actually be women. Ah, I don't mean to belittle women, it's just... This sudden transformation of an old man into a beautiful girl... Ritsuka, your world is truly wondrous..."
313 Merlin, the older brother
"Alright, alright, let's not worry about gender anymore."
Ms. Miyamoto Musashi patted Gensou on the shoulder with a carefree laugh, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:
"So, what's going on now? It seems like you two are in trouble again."
"We've already come to a singularity, how could we not be in trouble? Haha..."
Fujimaru Ritsuka gave a wry smile and briefly recounted the current situation to Miyamoto Musashi. The swordsman listened and nodded, then tossed aside his straw hat, slowly drew his twin swords, and said with a solemn expression:
"In that case, we have to get serious. No matter what, we have to get you two out of here first, right, Brother Yuanxiang!"
"That's natural."
Genji shook his coat, and Servant magic conjured the Lost Driver at his waist. He smiled and said:
"As a detective, the first priority is to protect the client."
"Great, very energetic! Let's set off then!"
With great enthusiasm, Miyamoto Musashi raised her sword and shouted, then casually tossed the scabbard aside. After it landed on the ground, she strode off in the direction indicated by the end of the scabbard. Her idea was simple: since she was completely clueless about her surroundings, she might as well just find a place to go and move around. She would clear a path through mountains and build a bridge over rivers until she found a place to settle Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash.
"Wait, Miss Miyamoto."
"Just call me Musashi."
Upon hearing Gensou's call, Miyamoto Musashi waved his hand casually, stopped, and waited for the young man to continue. Then, Gensou pointed to the sky. She looked up and saw a blurry figure there, but judging from its shape and outline, it was undoubtedly 'Gensou'.
“Looking up from above, no matter which direction you go, there are endless trees, and you can’t see the end at all. So I suspect that this is actually some kind of barrier, or that the space is sealed off in a closed loop.”
Gensou dispelled the phantom of 'Luna' and said seriously;
"This is definitely not an illusion. Although my current strength is not as good as my original body, my perception of 'illusionary' things is still accurate."
"Is that so? Then let me try making a cut!"
Miyamoto Musashi nodded, indicating that she understood. Then, a powerful sword aura erupted from her body, but she sheathed her twin swords and calmly assumed a stance. However, her aura became increasingly heavy and terrifying, as if she alone could suppress all the ghosts and monsters around her. At this moment, the image of a four-armed, wrathful King of the West appeared behind this beautiful figure!
"Yuanxiang, move back a little this way."
Fujimaru Ritsuka whispered a reminder. She saw that Miyamoto Musashi's ultimate move was actually formed by the sword pressure of 'earth, water, fire, and wind'. It was a Buddha's sword that could cut off all non-karma, past karma, curses, and misfortune. Therefore, Miyamoto Musashi's ultimate move might be quite effective against this so-called closed-loop barrier.
That's incredible! Miyamoto Musashi isn't even a Heroic Spirit yet, is she? Amazing.
Genjiro, observing the astonishing pressure of the sword, nodded approvingly and retreated to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side. At that moment, Miyamoto Musashi suddenly opened his eyes and shouted in a deep voice:
"Namo, O Great Self-Existent Deity—Anāgurikara, Lesser Celestial Phenomenon—! Go forth, sword drawn! Ishana, Greater Celestial Phenomenon—!"
The four-armed King of Benevolence immediately drew his sword, slashing four times at the earth. In an instant, the entire forest trembled violently, and even the sky was almost torn in two by the sharp sword light. There was no doubt that there was something strange about this space, and now the swordsman's superb skills were about to restore it to its original state.
"Mashu, protect Ritsuka."
Suddenly, Genji gave such an explanation. Before Fujimaru Ritsuka could react, a dim yellow light bloomed before her eyes. Kamen Rider 'Luna' casually waved his hand, and crescent-shaped blades, like a waterfall, shot out from the full moon behind him. Almost at the same moment, terrifying monsters rushed out from the torn space in the earth. They looked like spiders, but they only had a large, vertically open mouth on their heads, like human mouthparts with their teeth exposed after losing their lips.
At that moment, Miyamoto Musashi's expression suddenly froze. She had indeed broken through the closed barrier, but outside the barrier were all such monsters. In an instant, the swordsman realized that this was the real trap. After her group struggled to break through the barrier, what they would face was the despair that the enemy wanted to unleash!
Damn it, don't think your conspiracy will succeed!
Miyamoto Musashi took a deep breath and continued to unleash terrifying sword pressure, urging the Niou statue to slay the monsters. Suddenly, the spider monsters let out a chilling laugh, their teeth opening and closing. The eerie laughter, like a demonic sound, pierced the minds of everyone present. Novices like Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu had nothing to say, but even a master swordsman like Miyamoto Musashi couldn't help but turn pale in the face of this tidal wave of demonic sound. His mental state was shattered, and his sword energy, which had lost control, instantly went out of control and overflowed. The Niou statue formed by the sword pressure also dissipated.
But Miyamoto Musashi was a highly skilled swordsman. She pursed her lips, drew her twin swords, and danced them like a whirlwind, drawing back the dissipated sword energy. While avoiding harming Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, she also unleashed a storm of sword energy, slaying all the spider monsters in front of her.
However, the number of enemies was terrifying. Under such a barrage of sword energy, even if a blank space was cleared, it would be filled again in less than a breath. On the other side, Genji had transformed into a true 'moon'. Wherever its light reached, death would follow. If he had been at the forefront, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other two would have been swallowed up by the monsters long ago.
But that won't work.
Fujimaru Ritsuka was secretly anxious. She could sense Genji's condition; his mana consumption was exceeding her expectations. Let alone her as his Master, even the entire Chaldea might not be able to hold out much longer at this rate. Genji's mana reserves were naturally also running low, while the number of enemies showed no signs of decreasing. This... this was undoubtedly a dead end...
Suddenly, a petal appeared in this chaotic space and landed on Fujimaru Ritsuka's shoulder. A very soft, yet somewhat frivolous voice rang in the Chaldea Master's ear:
"Use Command Spells, use Command Spells to unlock his weaponry, hurry up!"
? !
Fujimaru Ritsuka paused for a moment, then, disregarding whether this was a new trap, shouted:
"Yuanxiang, what kind of memory chip is most suitable right now!"
“cyclone”
Although he didn't know why Fujimaru Ritsuka asked that question, Gengo gave an answer immediately. Then, Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her arm, and the Command Seal on the back of her hand responded to its master's thoughts, emitting a scarlet light. At the same time, Gengo suddenly sensed something, grabbed it casually, and the scarlet light turned emerald green. The 'Cyclone' Memory appeared in his hand. Although it was not the original Memory, it was enough to deal with the current situation!
"Cyclone! maximum drive!"
Gengo sent the memory into the special attack gauge and slammed it down. With an echoing sound of the special attack, a roaring tornado rose from the ground, instantly engulfing Fujimaru, Ritsuka, and the other two. At the same time, the power of 'Luna' continued to unleash its power, splitting the tornado in two, then four, then eight... and finally hundreds and thousands, wiping out the spider monsters in an instant.
Just then, a strange phenomenon occurred: a road covered with flower petals suddenly appeared, connecting precisely to the main body of Tatsumaki, who was protecting Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others, and taking it away along with the raging wind. As Genji left, the storm in this chaotic space also stopped, and the disgusting spider monsters crawled over again in dense swarms, letting out unintelligible but chilling laughter. However, upon closer inspection, these newly appeared spider monsters were much smaller than the ones that had attacked and ambushed Genji and the others at the beginning, like juveniles.
