The gods descend into reality

Nero blinked as he looked at his phone.

what's the situation?

Poisoned?!

The eerie music slowly began to play, sending chills down one's spine.

Nero...

This scene looks familiar.

"pat~"

The phone exited Bilibili, and the screen went black.

"Ring ring~"

The next moment, the phone rang, and Nero hung up almost without thinking. But then, something strange happened again.

The phone, which had been switched off, suddenly turned on again at that moment.

It was the same scene, and the same woman in white.

At this moment, Sadako stood in front of the ancient well, glancing at the dumbfounded Nero out of the corner of her eye, a sinister smile curling at the corner of her mouth.

As expected, his intelligence was correct.

The other person is terrified of ghosts!

Otherwise, why did you just turn it off?

Otherwise, why not answer your own ghostly calls?

Now it's my turn to perform!

Suddenly, her body appeared at the very front of the phone screen. The eerie music had already reached a certain level, but what puzzled Sadako was that the other party didn't make a sound at all, just quietly watching her!

This doesn't make sense!

Why doesn't he look scared at all?

I'm confused, but the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

It could just be because of what I see on TV.

After all, real-life ghosts and horror movies are completely different things.

A pale hand slowly emerged from the phone screen, and the next moment, a disheveled head slowly crawled out of the screen. The entire ghost crawled towards Nero in an extremely eerie arc.

"Umm~"

Ni let out a soft cry, her eyes narrowed slightly, and the ahoge (cowlick) on her head bounced up and down, as if she was quite puzzled by the scene before her.

"Giggle giggle~"

The sound of her upper and lower teeth clapping came from Sadako's mouth. A pale face slowly raised her head, and then Sadako's movements paused almost imperceptibly.

Huh? Why are you so calm?!

"Ugh~ Why are you interrupting my TV viewing?"

Nero glared at Sadako and asked with a displeased expression.

Sadako...

Huh? Why aren't you scared at all?

"I'm a ghost."

The drawn-out sound came from Sadako's mouth, eerie and terrifying, as if it could evoke the deepest fears in people's hearts.

"Hmm~ I know, so why are you bothering me while I'm watching TV?"

Nero stared at Sadako and asked again.

Sadako...

So, is it time to discuss whether or not to watch TV? I'm a ghost, I'm a ghost, I'm a ghost!

"To make a long story short, I like Xiao Se. If you don't give him to me, I'll come and scare you every night!" Zhenzi felt exhausted and floated above her phone to lay her cards on the table.

"Hmm~ So you also wanted to take advantage of the performer, but why should I be afraid of you trying to scare me?"

Nero's gaze towards Sadako was immediately filled with confusion.

"Aren't you...aren't you afraid of ghosts?"

Sadako asked tentatively.

Afraid of ghosts?

Nero repeated, his ahoge (cowlick) spinning as if he were thinking or composing words.

"I do seem to have said something like that, but—"

Only then did Nero finally understand why the ghost in front of him had come looking for him. At this moment, Nero's gaze became increasingly hostile, and the flames on the Primal Flame in his hand suddenly blazed fiercely.

"If I tell you, will you believe me?"

Sadako...

Σ(⊙▽⊙"a

What's the meaning?!

Chapter 216 Xiao Se: Old woman, are you stupid? If you want to die, go somewhere far away!

Shadow Space.

This place is like the other side of the world.

Another space where light and shadow are completely reversed.

Somewhat similar to—

It's somewhat similar to a bounded field, but also has some differences.

A Reality Marble is a mental image world that is solidified through magical power. Except for something like Nero's Golden Theater, most of them cannot be preserved for long, even after a Servant with a Reality Marble is summoned.

Realistic Marbles, which are almost as powerful as magic, are also a trump card.

After all, the consumption is too great. If you can encounter a powerful Master, that would be better, with abundant magical energy, enough to cast Reality Marble six or seven times during a Holy Grail War.

If you encounter a terrible Master.

Similar to the Queen in the Fourth Shinobi World War and Shirou in the Fifth Shinobi World War, unless they have a cheat code, they have to use their magic power sparingly.

However, this Shadow Space is different.

Light and shadow are essentially one, but the power of realm completely separates them, making it as if they are in the same plane that does not affect the real world at all.

At this moment, Xiao Se's entire body was already covered in blood.

The Han sword in his hand had long since broken, and blood dripped slowly down its length.

Twenty-four primordial runes floated behind Xiao Se, spontaneously forming various healing, buffing, and other auxiliary abilities to enhance his abilities.

The original runes naturally had more than just support abilities.

As the first magical power discovered by Odin, the primordial runes can be used to create almost any magic in the world, whether it be torrents, fire, lightning...

As long as you have enough magic power, you can use it easily.

However, when facing Scáthach, those fancy abilities are naturally useless; it's safer to give yourself a speed boost.

"As expected, I wasn't wrong. Your power has already begun to develop!"

Because of the need for a fair fight, she had long since shrunk to about the same size as Xiao Se, but Scáthach's condition at this moment was definitely not very good.

The tight-fitting clothes she always wore were already tattered, exposing large parts of her delicate body to the air, but Xiao Se showed absolutely no appreciation for them at this moment.

Because her exposed body had long since become a bloody mess, and although it was recovering at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people, it still didn't look very good at the moment.

Most importantly—

Having just experienced the battle, Xiao Se had no other thoughts in mind.

Those were definitely battles fought with the sole intention of killing the other party.

A battle devoid of any emotion, a battle of utmost purity.

"He's a monster, how come he's still unharmed after all that?"

Xiao Se looked at Scáthach's abdomen, where the injury was potentially fatal but was currently healing, and couldn't help but complain.

The third move of the Pantheon Calamity is an attack that ignores defense. If an ordinary person suffered such an injury, they would have died long ago. However, Scáthach seems to be unaffected and looks like she can continue to fight for hundreds more rounds.

This guy is a monster!

Even with his melancholy mood, he couldn't help but want to swear.

That's cheating!

"Speaking of monsters, you're the monster."

Scáthach retorted.

The power that concerned him hadn't fully developed, yet it had already unleashed such power, along with that miraculous sword technique that seemed to have entered the Dao, and—

strength!

According to the other party, that power came from Vajra, and even he dared not confront it head-on, so he could only use his spear skills and runes to deal with it.

“Likewise, Master, how about we call it a day? Let’s go back together for a meal and discuss life together?” Xiao Se teased, panting heavily.

Although we were like mortal enemies just moments ago, exchanging blows, I inexplicably couldn't muster any anger.

It's as if they're fighting purely for the sake of fighting, and they can accept being killed without any regret.

Could I be possessed by those Spartan bastards?

Xiao Se inwardly cursed, but the only consolation was...

In that state, both my understanding of swordsmanship and my comprehension of the innate way have made great progress.

Simply put, it's not a loss.

"Ha, fighting is not a child's game. Fighting is a game where you have to be prepared to kill your opponent and be killed by them!"
