You are very strong, but my painting style is better than yours!

"It seems we are not the only ones out to admire the moon today, Master."

It was pitch black all around. Iori did not look around for the enemy, but slowly closed his eyes, fully opening his senses, and drifted along the calm water surface.

call out!

The young man suddenly lifted up the fishing rod, and the resilient material drew a graceful arc in the air. A silver thread with a fishing hook at the end suddenly cut through the gentle moonlight like a flying blade.

--call!

The ghostly figure rolled over to avoid the slash and stood on the tip of the bow as nimbly as a dragonfly. The sensational and gorgeous kimono swayed slightly, revealing the sickly white thighs and arms, as well as the strange tattoo pattern.

"Black's assassin?"

"Alala, you're so enthusiastic when we first met, but unfortunately, I don't really like rude men~"

Volume 112: Death Comes to Holy Grail War: Chapter : The Drunken Enemy

In a nutshell, she was a "devilish" woman.

She had a petite figure like a little girl, a tender face but a frivolous look like a prostitute. The faint smile at the corner of her mouth was like a feather brushing against her body, and an indescribable itchy feeling surged from her heart.

The baggy kimono was open, revealing a large area of ​​fair skin, more wanton than the most daring dancer, with only the most critical parts covered. Tattoo patterns like thin lines spread out on the body, exuding a sense of temptation in the weirdness.

Do you understand the value of being in the news?

The most eye-catching feature is the huge wine gourd hung on the waist, which is made of colored glaze, showing a translucent dark blue color and has exquisite patterns on the surface.

In addition, the girl has two burgundy pointed horns on her head. They are not the curved horns of Western demons, but slender, straight and delicate, like the hairpins of a prostitute.

"Monster?" Iori had already recognized the servant in front of him. His eyes lowered, and a cold murderous intent was revealed in his gaze.

——Shuten-doji.

The great monster from the Far East, the Drunken Oni who was beheaded by Minamoto no Raikou, is a top-notch Servant with excellent stats in all aspects, so good that he doesn't look like an assassin.

At this moment, Iori was even more serious than when he faced Atalanta's sniper. The magic power in his body was fully activated, and he was ready to kill this dangerous evil spirit at any time!

"Haha, your expression is really scary...please let me go~"

Shuten covered his small mouth that revealed a pair of sharp teeth with his sleeve, and a shallow-bottomed wine cup as big as a washbasin appeared in his hand. He stretched out his hand to Iori and shook it slightly, and the clear wine inside exuded an even richer aroma.

The crescent moon was reflected in the wine cup. As the breeze blew, a cherry blossom petal fell into it, causing ripples...

"I don't like fighting. Can you please have a drink and pretend you didn't see me?"

Under the bright moonlight, a gorgeous ghost girl floated down on the bow of the ship, looking drunk. She raised the large wine cup in her hand and extended an invitation to the handsome young swordsman... It was as if the folk legend was being reenacted at this moment.

The sweet words that make one's bones soften, coupled with the smell of alcohol that permeates the air, would make anyone feel fascinated.

Sera was hit!

Alcohol affects the sensitivity of the nervous system, so the silver-haired girl has never had the experience of drinking, let alone getting drunk.

At this moment, just smelling some scent, her fair skin turned rosy and her whole cheeks were hot.

But it's not her fault. Even a heavy drinker who can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk cannot resist this sweet scent, because it is not just the smell of alcohol, but also a poison and a curse.

It is essentially a variation of the "Charm" skill, but as a great monster that symbolizes decadence and pleasure, this ghost girl has incorporated her devilish nature that can captivate all living beings into the aroma of wine, turning it into a drug that can make people sink into it.

Not to mention humans, even servants can go crazy if they are not careful!

——It’s just useless to Iori.

"Um...what's wrong with me? I'm so hot...so sleepy...damn it...

No! Iori... Iori... are you here? "

Sera was an excellent magician, but her frail body was almost instantly taken captive by the alcohol, and she fell into a trance-like, involuntary "drunk state".

Subconsciously, she knew that something was wrong, so even though the world was spinning and she didn't know where she was, she was still murmured Iori's name - at this most dangerous moment, the person she trusted the most was Iori.

Hearing the Master's call, Iori, who was confronting an enemy Servant, did not turn around directly, but glanced back with the corner of his eye.

"Ah, don't you want to drink? Or is it because I'm ugly that you don't want to honor me?"

Shuten was looking at Iori with a smile on his face, and naturally noticed his action. He immediately tilted the wine cup in his hand slightly, and a clear thin line hung down in the night.

"But, this wine is sweet and fragrant. I like it very much~"

Hey!

The wine fell on the wooden board, and as the water droplets splashed, a sense of malice came over, and Iori disappeared from the spot in an instant, and Sera also disappeared in an instant.

--call!

In mid-air, Iori appeared holding the half-asleep Sera. Without even a breath's interval, a cold sword light came at them, trying to cut them both in half.

bass!

A big monster in the shape of a little girl appeared, and its sharp fingertips easily cut through the fabric, and then -

Got it!

"Ok?"

Shuten-doji looked at the two pieces of clothing fluttering in front of him, and his smile faded slightly. But when she fell, that wanton and dissolute smile returned to his face.

A glass wine jug floats on the river, and Shuten sits sideways on it, her white bare feet gently pushing away the ripples. Her buttocks are small but particularly perky, outlined by the thin kimono, contrasting with the curves of the gourd.

"He managed to escape from me so calmly with only one person... He's really amazing~

He looks so cute, just like the legendary Ushiwakamaru... and he's no less brave, so you can't judge a person by his appearance."

"escape?"

Iori landed on the river bank, found a bench and put Sera on it. He took a quick look at her condition and was relieved to be sure that she was just "drunk" and had no other abnormal conditions.

The binding tool called "Inverted Mountain Crystal" appeared as a crystal pyramid, covering Sera like last time.

After finishing all this calmly, Iori turned to look at Shuten with an unhappy look on his face: "What a waste of my 2,000 euro suit."

"I think it's worth it. After all, I saved a life~"

Shuten reached out from behind him like a magician and took out a huge wine cup. He took a sip, his face turned red and he became even more drunk.

"But from now on, I have to be serious——"

"Shut up!"

"Well!"

An invisible yet tangible feeling of oppression suddenly descended upon him, the second half of Shuten-doji's sentence was forcibly interrupted, and a hint of astonishment emerged from the depths of his eyes.

"So much nonsense... Fighting by the water? You're out of luck."

Iori untied the sword bag he was carrying, revealing a hilt made of emerald jade.

——Jiutun’s pupils suddenly shrank.

Even though she only saw the hilt from a distance, the great demon monster who was famous in the Far East felt as if a thorn was on her back. The illusory stabbing pain was like her heart being pierced by a long needle, causing her entire soul to tremble.

"No, this is it!"

Without hesitation, the wine cup disappeared in the blink of an eye, and was replaced by a gorgeous and strange sword that was almost as tall as her and shaped like a Buddhist mural.

Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!

Three sword pressures condensed from thick water vapor split the surface of the river. Shuten held his sword in front of him to block them, but was also knocked away.

However, there was a figure that was faster than Kenya and Shuten, and caught up with the big monster from the Far East in the blink of an eye!

The usually arrogant and frivolous demon now had none of her usual majesty, and her body seemed to have become much slower, and she was unable to dodge completely. She looked at the cold light falling from the ancient magic sword, and a hideous smile appeared on her young face.

Why didn't I realize it until now... I miscalculated. I shouldn't have been so rash. I didn't expect that there would be such a coincidence in the Holy Grail War!

"This guy--"

Zheng!

puff!

"——It's my 'natural enemy'!"

Volume 113: Death Comes to the Holy Grail War: Chapter : Stop pretending, you are a cross-dresser, right? (Two in one)

Stab it!

A series of blood drops emitting a sweet smell fell on the water, like wisps of red mist blending into it.

Shuten-doji stepped on the gourd with his bare feet, covering the wound on his left arm, feeling the burning and stinging pain from it, and his narrow eyes slowly narrowed.

The ancient sword held by the opponent is a sharp blade that has once killed a dragon, or is forged using the corpse of a dragon or snake!

Therefore, when Shuten-doji, who possesses the "dragon attribute", faces that sword, he will feel like a thorn in his back. This is the same type as the Dusk Demon Sword in the hand of the white-haired swordsman she saw in the Thousand Worlds Tree Castle.

But if she was only blessed with the "Dragon Slaying" legend, she wouldn't have lost her composure like this... Her intuition allowed her to make an instant judgment:

The red side's berserker must be from the Far East like her, and it is very likely that he has some unknown "connection" with her!

Especially that sword... Although Shuten had never seen it in person, it seemed familiar to him.

"The evil spirit that wreaked havoc on the region encountered a warrior who could exorcise evil spirits? I never thought that such an interesting story could be staged again in the world thousands of years later.

It’s a pity that this is a Holy Grail War that is destined not to be remembered by the common people, otherwise tonight’s encounter would have turned into a new legend~ Ah~~ Oh…”

Shuten-doji stuck her fingertips into the wound, fiddling with it in a way that looked painful, and letting out an unbearable breath, but looking at her expression... did she seem to be enjoying it? When she took her finger out, she just wiped the wound lightly and it disappeared.

cure?

Iori's face showed surprise, it was the first time he saw such a unique healing technique.

However, according to legend, Shuten-doji is the offspring of the Kuzuryu Daigongen (the side view of the Yamata-no-Orochi, similar to a mountain god) of Togakushi Mountain. He is both an evil spirit and a dragon. While he has a strong demonic nature, he may even have some divinity. He is an extremely complex and unpredictable guy.

Because she has only appeared in "FGO", Iori's understanding of her is limited to the settings in the game, but that cannot completely correspond to reality. After all, as a "fierce card battle" game, the skill special effects and treasure settings of "FGO" cannot show the true strength level of the servants.

Shuten-doji is listed as one of the three major monsters in Japan, along with Tamamonomae and Otakemaru. He is also one of the leaders of the legendary "Night Parade of a Hundred Demons" and can be said to be the top "demon".

This kind of creatures have always been known for their strong vitality. If you can't cut off their heads in one blow, you may not be able to kill this charming boy ghost girl!

“The things in this world are truly marvelous and indescribable. I can actually meet a hero from my homeland in a foreign country thousands of miles away. Isn’t this fate destined by God?

The bright moonlight, the reflected stars... Such a beautiful scene is the perfect match for the smell of blood!"

The calm water surface was smoothly cut in half in an instant, and a guardian sword adorned with precious jade and colored glaze went straight for Iori - although she was an assassin, she chose to attack head-on!

Her figure disappeared into the night at lightning speed, and only the cold sword light was captivating. In terms of power, she was not inferior to the three knights!

hum!

A circular shield in the style of ancient architecture suddenly appeared and collided violently with the sword. After a slight pause, Shuten-doji exerted his strength to cut it off.

However, Iori's figure had disappeared from her sight. In a trance, a sharp sound of wind came from above. The girl rolled over without thinking and dodged. Her body was so nimble and light that people could not see her movements clearly, and she lived up to her name as a ghost.

call out!call out!call out!

Javelin-like beams of light fell continuously, each one penetrating deep into the bricks and stones and sinking straight into the riverbed. It was obvious that they were very powerful, and Shuten also jumped repeatedly in order to avoid them, and the fluttering sleeves of his kimono were like a gorgeous butterfly.

Hiss!

A beam of light almost hit Shuten's body, but she swung it with all her might, tore off a piece of her kimono and dodged it safely.

The white and tender toes tapped lightly on the surface of the river, leaving ripples on the water. She spun and jumped and landed steadily on the gourd. The girl was unharmed but her expression was extremely solemn.

"Is it the Yin-Yang technique to calm the soul?"

No one answered her, and the next moment the gourd on which she was standing was washed up into the sky by a sudden surge of water!

Along with the roar of the waterfall-like water, there seemed to be a faint dragon roar, and the winding and flying water columns were like dragons, strangling her!

"Haha~"

The long sword spun, and the petite body burst out with amazing power. Both the person and the sword turned into a rotating knife wheel, tearing through the cold night and breaking through the water curtain.

With his agile figure, he leaped into the air, his long sword reflecting the bright moonlight, and slashed at Shuten-doji with sharp and precise force.

Clang!

The two people passed each other and a streak of blood flew out from the girl's cheek.

Shuten stuck out her tongue and licked the corner of her mouth. The smell of blood that spread in her mouth made the smile on her face even more charming.

As it fell, the glass gourd broke through the air and was caught by the big monster, who then opened his mouth and pointed it at Iori.

boom!

The scorching red lotus fire gushed out from the gourd. The flames that had no shape were now controlled like a high-pressure water gun and turned into a long flame spear that pierced the atmosphere and hit the boy in mid-air in one fell swoop.
