Genji silently complained to himself, then looked at Miyamoto Musashi, extended his hand, and said:
"Since you still need time, why don't you try your luck here? My 'amnesia' and 'being amnesiac' situation has been greatly suppressed thanks to the help of the power of my predecessors. Perhaps this can also help you. How about this, Musashi, you are alive now, why don't you try to sign a contract with me? If it works, after this matter is finished, I may be able to try to pull you to my main body through this."
"Is this even possible?"
Regarding this suggestion, Fujimaru Ritsuka was the first to speak up. After all, her Command Seals could be used on Genji, and signing a Servant contract with Miyamoto Musashi was simply beyond her comprehension. Therefore, she subconsciously looked at Romani Archman in the projection, while the doctor, quite interested, said with surprise:
"I don't know either, but since Mr. Gensho said so, it should be okay."
329 What is your relationship with Goetia?
"Let's try a shortcut, I don't know if it will work."
As Gengo spoke, he used the power of 'Luna' to create a phantom of himself, then severed the connection between it and himself. Following the Chaldea Master's contract method, he made Miyamoto Musashi form a contract with the 'hollow', and then Gengo decisively punched, shattering the 'hollow' with a single blow—
In this world, all Servants basically return to the Throne of Heroes after 'death', so he was looking to see if he could find a loophole to let this fake thing leave some trace on his 'throne' with the contract. If he could succeed, then he would have made a profit.
"Is that all?"
"It's all done. I'll just check the results after I finish playing my 'return seat' game."
Gensou clapped his hands and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, saying:
"Don't look at me like that. As an outsider, this is the only simple and direct method I can use. I think if there is a loophole to exploit, I will definitely succeed."
After all, my 'seat' is created by my memory.
Seeing Genji's confident demeanor, Fujimaru Ritsuka stopped giving him the look that seemed to say, "You're making fun of us," and looked at Miyamoto Musashi, saying:
"So, are you ready to set off now?"
"Well, the current situation isn't very optimistic."
As Miyamoto Musashi spoke, he tightened the rope binding his sword sheath, then asked Genji:
"So, Brother Yuanxiang, shall we team up?"
"I think it would be better for you to set off with Mr. Li Shuwen."
Yuanxiang thought for a moment and replied:
"After all, the key to severing the spirit foundation this time is you, and my concealment methods are far inferior in comparison, so let me act together with Elder Senko Muramasa."
"No, it's the two of you in one group."
Just as Gensato finished speaking, Senko Muramasa's voice came from the side. The swordsmith, now dressed in tight-fitting clothes, sat on the wall and slowly said:
“This time we’re going deep behind enemy lines. Although Li Shuwen’s stealth skills are indeed better than yours, you’ve seen Miyamoto’s abilities. That imitation couldn’t even withstand a single punch, not to mention who knows how many more imitations there are over there. Therefore, you should be in charge of guarding Miyamoto. Li Shuwen, the other Servants, and I will distract you.”
At this point, Senji Muramasa realized something and waved his hands repeatedly, saying:
"Don't misunderstand, Li Shuwen and I will still go to support you, it just might be a little slower."
"Okay, shall we set off?"
Gensou looked at Miyamoto Musashi, and after the female swordsman nodded, the boy took out 'Cyclone', channeled the power of 'Xtreme', and flew towards the Persian Gulf. At this moment, Merlin also used magic to return to the monster defense line from Uruk. Just now, perhaps because he was furious, Gilgamesh, who hadn't rested at all, suddenly died while examining the stone tablet. Fortunately, the Queen of the Underworld was now on their side, and after a brief greeting, the goddess returned the king's soul and then went back to their own business. In short, it was a false alarm.
Upon seeing the 'Gale' that Genji had transformed into, Merlin realized that the operation had begun and immediately summoned the other Heroic Spirits to launch an attack towards the Persian Gulf. Watching the various attacks behind him like fireworks, Miyamoto Musashi, whose figure was tightly enveloped by the Gale, exclaimed in his heart as if his eyes had been opened. Genji took the opportunity to rush towards the Sea of Life.
According to Merlin's plan, once he gets close to the Sea of Life, he can use the connection between himself and 'Joker' to find the location where the counterfeit spirit origin is buried. If he can't find it by relying on this connection, then he can use the magic tool he made. However, once the tool is used, the commotion it causes will probably attract a lot of enemies in a short period of time, so he must be mentally prepared before using it.
'joker....joker....joker....'
Genji silently called upon the power that had been lost here, its purplish-black light shimmering faintly within him, seemingly resonating with something. But at that moment, not only Genji, but even Miyamoto Musashi sensed a chilling killing intent. The 'Gale' in the air suddenly spun rapidly, yet even so, the black and red fist storm that suddenly emerged from beneath the seawater still grazed past the power of 'Cyclone'.
In that instant, Miyamoto Musashi, enveloped by the gale, sensed an unusual fluctuation, as if the wind was about to burst. Her expression changed. Although she could not see where Gensou was, she still tried to look around, hoping to catch a glimpse of the boy's expression.
Almost simultaneously, however, the power of 'cyclone' dissipated, and the light of 'luna' suddenly burst forth, turning this area into an endless, looping labyrinth. Apart from Li Shuwen and Senji Muramasa, who had already been marked, any other living being, friend or foe, who wanted to enter this place could only rely on brute force to shatter this illusion!
On the other side, Miyamoto Musashi stared intently at the sea surface, where a huge sphere slowly emerged from the black mud beneath the seawater. Compared to the one that appeared in front of the monster defense line, this one was much smaller, but it felt much more imposing. Then, the black and red monster he had seen before slowly walked out of it.
"Yuanxiang, I didn't expect you to actually deliver yourself to our doorstep. Heh heh, hahaha, all of this was exactly what we planned!"
The black and red monster looked at Genji, who had also transformed into the 'Joker'. The Kamen Rider landed on the water's surface, golden ripples shimmering beneath his feet, allowing him to move effortlessly across the water. He looked at the enemy who had usurped his power and said in a flat, emotionless tone:
"What are you? A Demon Pillar?"
"Hmph! Arrogant!"
This time, the strange man's voices overlapped, as if several voices were coming from his throat at the same time. At the same time, black and red flames erupted behind him, flickering and floating like a black sun, covering all the light around him.
"You will become our food, and we will use your world-saving power to destroy this world! Now, prepare to die!"
Before the words were finished, a loud roar rang out, and an unseen figure charged towards Miyamoto Musashi, who was being held aloft by 'Luna'. The female swordswoman sensed the danger, but her speed in drawing her sword was far too slow to keep up with the monster's movements. However, Genji intervened in time, grabbing the monster's fist and simultaneously kicking it in the abdomen. But the enemy grabbed her ankle instead.
The monster grinned maliciously, intending to break Gensou's legs and feet. But at the moment of his exertion, Gensou used the broken legs as a fulcrum, kicking and punching the enemy's head repeatedly with his other foot. As his other foot was also grabbed, he straightened up, punching his ears with both fists, then turning his fists into claws. He pressed his thumbs against his compound eyes, forcefully pulling them down, while his other four fingers, like tiger claws, yanked outwards. Sparks flew from the black and red helmet, and the ear-piercing noise and intense pain temporarily numbed the monster's senses.
Then, Gengo suddenly plummeted downwards, knocking the strange man to the ground. He then leaped high into the air and delivered a knee strike to the enemy's back. He then grabbed the strange man's head and twisted it forcefully, causing a sharp cracking sound as the spine snapped. The sound of bones grinding together made Miyamoto Musashi's teeth ache.
However, the battle was not over. Just when Miyamoto Musashi thought the battle was over and he could go down to prepare to unleash his Noble Phantasm to finish things off, the head of the black and red monster that had been twisted 360 degrees suddenly split open from its mouth. The worm-like ring-shaped mouth had no teeth, only vertical pupils that kept opening and closing, as if it was preparing some kind of attack. However, before it could launch an attack, Gengo punched its chin, forcibly closing the strange mouth.
However, just as Genji made his move, the monster had a new countermeasure. Without any technique, it simply unleashed its power and blasted Genji away.
"Is Yuanxiang alright?"
Miyamoto Musashi tried to catch Gengo as he flew backward, but Gengo dodged to the side. He knew very well his current state; if the residual force he carried were transferred to Miyamoto Musashi's flesh and blood, the guy would probably never be able to hold a sword with his hands again.
After dissipating the force on his body, Gensou took a deep breath, looked at Miyamoto Musashi, and whispered:
"Pay attention to where that guy just appeared. His spirit origin is there. Every time I kill him, the power used to revive him is transmitted from his spirit origin. That brief moment is your chance to use your Noble Phantasm to sever his spirit origin. Trust me, I'm not mistaken about the 'Joker.' I'm going!"
After saying that, Yuanxiang gritted his teeth and charged forward. After the fight, he was certain that some of his previous speculations about this enemy were wrong. The reason it came to the monster defense line to find him was simply because it wanted to suppress the power that he had used to hunt down the demon god pillar, which had now become a burden to them in some ways.
After all, it was a combination of 'Joker' and 'Cyclone', a power connected to him. After he appeared in this era, that power desperately wanted to return to his side. This was a power that even the Demon Pillars could not completely suppress. In order not to let all their efforts go to waste, they must have already eliminated the power of 'Cyclone' and wanted to control 'Joker'. But as it stands now, that scheme seems too delusional. Therefore, the Demon Pillars had no choice but to reveal this plan, lure him here, and then destroy him.
Only in this way can they possibly convert this power into their own and create a reliable fighting force to continue the plan to burn humanity.
"How embarrassing!"
Having gradually deduced the whole story by sensing the enemy's strength, Genji sneered as he attacked the monster. He dodged its fist to the side while simultaneously delivering a side kick to its waist, followed by a high kick to its shoulder, saying:
"You can't even digest my meager power like this? Have you Demon God Pillars become so useless?"
"Hmph, you will die by your own power."
The monster growled in a low, overlapping voice. Just as it was about to retaliate, Gengo kicked it in the shin. Disrupted from its balance, Gengo quickly switched feet to gather momentum, blasting the monster into the air. At the same time, Gengo leaped up, ready with his 'Inch Punch: Heaven Opening', slamming the monster hard into the ground. Then, Gengo pushed off forcefully in mid-air, the terrifying power compressing the air beneath his feet into near-solidity in that instant, giving him enough leverage to unleash the 'Fierce Tiger Climbing the Mountain' technique, hurtling towards the enemy from the sky.
However, after this exchange, the monster was very clear about his own strength and skills. Although he was very reluctant to admit it, he knew that if he engaged in close combat, he would be beaten from head to toe. So he decided to fight him with simple and brutal force.
The next second, black and red flames erupted, and the impact of [Tiger Climbing the Mountain] was shattered after only a breath. The pillar of fire that rose from the ground made Miyamoto Musashi, who was a certain distance away, feel as if his face was being scorched and about to crack.
Hmph, foolish... Wait?! Gone?!
Just as the monster was trying to find Genji's figure in the pillar of fire to finish him off, it couldn't see the Kamen Rider. It wasn't arrogant enough to think that its attack would definitely destroy Genji. After all, that was the power of 'Joker Xtreme'. If it could be destroyed so easily, there wouldn't be much reason for it to persist.
In short, clear the area around you first.
The monster, its face grim, began to manipulate its power, creating a no-man's-land centered on itself to prevent Genji's sudden attack. However, its movements were clearly too slow. Genji, who had launched a surprise attack with 'Circle of Enclosures,' concentrated its power into its fist. The crystalline gauntlet mercilessly pierced through the monster's head, turning it into a bloody pulp.
At that moment, Miyamoto Musashi, who witnessed this scene, closed her eyes without hesitation and activated her Noble Phantasm. The instant the Niou statue took shape, she opened her eyes and glared angrily. Her swirling demonic eyes indeed captured the spiritual energy pulsation beneath the water's surface, and she swung down the Buddha's Sword without hesitation.
but.....
How could this be...?
Miyamoto Musashi's eyes widened. The whole process was incredibly smooth. She had been worried about whether Gensou could defeat that monster, but now she couldn't sever that damned spirit core. She heard it, heard the mournful cry of the 'Buddha's Sword,' heard the weak tremor of the sword's pressure. The small spirit core in the demon's eye was now like a towering mountain, indestructible.
"it's useless!!!"
Meanwhile, on the other side, a familiar burst of flames erupted again, and Genji was blasted out once more. His armor, which had already shown signs of melting due to the scorching of the fire pillars, was now being fused together with flesh and blood by Miyamoto Musashi.
"Do you really think we consider that swordsman a major threat? Don't make us laugh. You're still 20,000 years away from expelling our spirit foundations!"
"I'm...I'm sorry..."
Amidst the strange man's mocking laughter, Miyamoto Musashi looked at Genji and said weakly:
"I really can't cut it off."
"It's alright. If one cut isn't enough, then two. If two cuts aren't enough, then three."
Gengo stood up, transformed again, restoring his knight armor to its original state, and gave Miyamoto Musashi a thumbs-up, saying:
"Don't worry, I'll fight for you enough opportunities, Riderkick! Taku!"
'joker! Maximumdrive!'
Amidst Gensou's roar and the sound effects of his ultimate attack, the dark gold figure forcefully cleaved through the surging flames and launched a ferocious attack on the strange man. Miyamoto Musashi glanced at the battle between the two, knowing he couldn't intervene, and took a deep breath, beginning to adjust his mindset. No matter what, now was not the time to give up. Since Gensou was still trying and still believed in him, he had to sever that spirit core no matter what.
Soon, the opportunity came again. Genji unexpectedly channeled the power of 'Cyclone Joker' into his body, unleashing a devastating attack several times over. By trading blows, he once again severed the monster's head. Miyamoto Musashi then roared and hysterically swung her 'Buddha's Sword'. She could feel all her power pouring out, like the bottomless flow of her appetite when eating udon noodles. At the same time, this effort was effective. She sensed that she had been continuously attacked by 'Six Paths, Five Wheels, Kurikara Tensho' in a short period of time, and there were signs of her weakening.
This is undoubtedly a good omen. A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant hole. As long as this thing is not so indestructible, there is motivation to work hard for it.
However, just as Miyamoto Musashi was about to put in more effort, the monster had recovered completely, its spirit origin had become unshakeable, and Genji was once again forced back by the fully recovered enemy!
Damn it, it's supposed to be the power of the 'Joker,' so why is this guy using it like a mage?
Yuanxiang couldn't help but cough twice. His mask had just been broken, and he had inhaled some hot air, which caused him to feel an unbearable pain in his lungs.
Fortunately, he is now a Servant, and Servants can heal their injuries as long as they have magic power. However, his magic power is being consumed at an alarming rate, and he feels that he may have to bear the cost of 'Voidification' on his own at any moment due to a lack of magic power.
This is truly terrible.
Thinking of this, Gensho's lips twitched involuntarily. He had finally obtained the power of his predecessors, thus avoiding this unfortunate situation, but he never expected to encounter such a predicament again in the blink of an eye. To be honest, Gensho truly felt that fate had an unusual fondness for playing jokes on him.
"Hang in there, we will succeed."
At that moment, Gengo saw Miyamoto Musashi, who was drenched in sweat. He put his hand on her shoulder and used Ripple to help her recover her strength. She was still the main force, and he couldn't let her collapse now.
Miyamoto Musashi was well aware of this, and she began to regulate her breathing, cooperating with Genji's assistance to quickly recover her strength. However, the enemy would not stand idly by and watch his opponent recover. The monster roared and raised his hand, and a surging storm of flames rushed towards Genji and Miyamoto Musashi.
To be fair, such an attack consumes a lot of magic power, which is why the monster didn't plan to fight like that from the beginning. After all, it would be easy for Genji to find a weakness. But now it has come to terms with it. Now it's time to gamble with its life and see which side will give up first and die!
Seeing the fiery fist storm approaching, Gengo didn't hesitate to pick up Miyamoto Musashi and start moving. But the monster didn't stop there, launching attacks continuously, determined to kill Gengo and Miyamoto Musashi. The fiery fist storm was like a machine gun, constantly chasing the two and increasing the frequency of its attacks, not giving them a moment to breathe.
At that moment, the strange man suddenly felt a chill down his spine, as if some terrifying, oppressive aura was swallowing him up. An indescribable killing intent erupted behind him. At the same time, a dazzling flash of light appeared, and the swordsmith, clad in a haori, suddenly appeared with a silent expression, slashing towards the strange man's head.
"Don't even think about it!!!"
Realizing that this was Gensou's support, the strange man roared, and unparalleled heat erupted from his body, threatening to incinerate Li Shuwen and Senji Muramasa who had rushed over. However, the sudden moonlight caused the two to switch places, pulling them away from the fatal attack.
At this moment, Senjimura glanced at the somewhat disheveled Genji and Miyamoto Musashi and said:
"Can't you handle it?"
“I cannot sever his spiritual foundation.”
