Public executions started with King Adonai

"However, perhaps you all already know something about my affairs."

As she spoke, a complex look appeared in her calm eyes.

Yes, the servant summoned with Kikyo as a holy relic is Kikyo.

Or rather——

Belonging to the main world, the one who was active in Yingzhou during the Warring States Period and was eventually taken in by the Throne of Heroes after his death - Kikyo!

Chapter 774: Archer Kikyo's special attack against monsters, an era where special attack is more important than anything else

real world--

"What the heck is this? I summon myself?"

"WHAT? Using Kikyo as a holy relic and then summoning Kikyo?"

"Ah, this is a development that has never happened before."

"I thought it was the dog demon that Kikyo was in love with, but it turned out to be Kikyo herself?"

"Well, it seems that according to the natural situation, the one closest to Kikyo in the Ninja World is indeed the deceased Kikyo in the main world?"

"Oh my God, it seems that Kikyo is not famous in history? Can this also become a heroic spirit?"

"The Throne of Heroes doesn't accept Heroic Spirits simply based on their fame. Even ninjas from the Lostbelt can be accepted as Heroic Spirits, let alone Transcendents from the Main World."

"Also, although Kikyo isn't famous in the history we know today, you have to know that our world has experienced many timeline restarts. Perhaps in the timeline where Kikyo existed, she was actually very famous, or she created many legends and great deeds, thus being elevated to a Heroic Spirit."

"You should know that the Throne of Heroes has been confirmed to exist outside of the timeline. The Heroic Spirits housed within it will not be affected by changes to the timeline."

"It seems to make sense."

"But it still feels so strange that another Kikyo was summoned..."

"I suddenly feel very complicated. I mean, towards Kikyo in the ninja world. I always feel that doing this is a denial and irony of her existence."

"I feel the same way, it's really complicated..."

"The Kikyo we know and are familiar with is the one from the Ninja World. However, this Kikyo is actually a fake created from the fragments of the Four Souls Jewel. Summoning the real Kikyo is a tactic to exploit the fact that she is a fake."

"Anyway, if I were to put myself in their shoes and go through such a situation, I would definitely be extremely uncomfortable and unable to accept such a thing, let alone using myself as a holy relic to summon the real Kikyo."

People were talking about it, and many people who were in Kikyo's position in the ninja world had complicated feelings.

However, no matter who it is, no one can have the deepest understanding of Kikyo's feelings in the Ninja World like Kikyo Higurashi in the real world.

There is no doubt that this is equivalent to denying oneself step by step.

However, Kikyo of the Ninja World still did it.

Because, Kikyo in the Ninja World wants to help Fujimaru Tachibana, wants to help others, and wants to help those who regard her as a partner and friend.

So, even if it meant tearing open her own wounds and denying her own existence with her own hands, she still did it.

At this moment, the BGM "Sadness is everywhere!" played.

The real Kikyo was summoned, and it was the time to counterattack Naraku, but at this moment, a sad BGM was used to create the current atmosphere.

As the two Kikyo looked at each other with complicated expressions, the others also recovered from their shock. Mashu couldn't help but cover her mouth: "Two... Kikyo? This..."

Roman, who was still communicating, exclaimed, "Impossible! Even if the Throne of Heroes is outside this world, theoretically, Servants can be summoned across time and space. It's even possible for a Heroic Spirit to appear in different forms at different times."

"However, there is only one rule that must be followed, and that is that a Heroic Spirit must never respond to a summon while still alive!"

"Since Miss Kikyo is still here, then as a Heroic Spirit, Miss Kikyo shouldn't be summoned as a Servant!"

"W-why would they summon the same person? Could it be a characteristic of the collapsed land? Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Roman couldn't believe it, and at this moment he showed his deep understanding of the Throne of Heroes.

However, because he knew the situation so well, he was even more incredulous about it.

After all, no one at the scene knew that Kikyo in the Ninja World was a fake created from the fragments of the Shikon Jewel.

Hearing Roman's exclamation, the equally shocked Fujimaru Tachibana seemed to be thinking about something, because she had heard Kikyo mention not long ago that she wanted to settle the feud between her and Naraku, which involved a lot of things.

At that time, Fujimaru Tachibana didn't quite understand it, but now, the girl seemed to have guessed something.

As for the two Kikyo who were involved...

After staring at each other for a while, the servant Kikyo said softly, "I... heard your call."

Ninja World Kikyo nodded slightly: "Thank you for your response."

As she spoke, the miko raised her left hand.

Seeing this, the servant Kikyo was silent for a moment, then walked forward, raised her right hand, and made hand-in-hand contact with Kikyo of the Ninja World.

When the two slender hands touched each other, their slender and flawless fingers intertwined and soon became interlocked.

Afterwards, the two Kikyo closed their eyes together, and a faint white light emanated from where their fingers were intertwined, creating an extremely beautiful and captivating picture at this moment.

The two beautiful and holy shrine maidens who look exactly the same present a scene that can be regarded as a masterpiece of the century no matter which angle it is viewed from.

The beautiful scene made everyone present hold their breath, fearing that any noise would break it.

For people in the real world, the sad BGM makes the atmosphere even more intense, as if all the sadness in the world has gathered together, or as if a beautiful picture is weeping with melancholy.

However, this beautiful scene did not last long, as the two soon separated.

During this exchange, some images were also revealed.

That was the transmission of memory. Ninja World Kikyo passed on the memory of her experience in the Ninja World to the Servant Kikyo.

The two people are not the same person, but in essence they are the same person, so some miraculous methods can be performed without obstacles.

When the two separated, Ninja World Kikyo said: "These... are proof of my existence."

The servant Kikyo nodded slightly: "Yes, I did receive it. It belongs to you."

People in the real world understood this statement, but people like Fujimaru Tachibana in the bureau didn't quite understand it.

Fujimaru Tachibana, who vaguely guessed the situation of Kikyo in the Ninja World, couldn't help but ask: "You two, what... did you do?"

Hearing this, the two Kikyo looked at Fujimaru Tachibana. The Ninja Kikyo's eyes showed a hint of tenderness, but she did not speak.

The servant Kikyo then spoke: "She told me her memories of the Ninja World, Master."

After a pause, the miko's heroic spirit continued, "This contract is hereby established. For the duration of this contract, my power will be at your disposal, Master."

"You can call me by my name, but to differentiate between me and her, just call me Archer."

"At least, here, Kikyo is her name."

Obviously, the servant Kikyo who obtained the memory and knew the situation of Kikyo in the Ninja World also understood what Kikyo in the Ninja World was like. So, at least here, she would give the name of "Kikyo" to Kikyo in the Ninja World.

However, this inevitably brings a touch of sadness.

Because no matter what the final outcome is, Kikyo's fate in the Ninja World is already determined. As a fake creature created from the fragments of the Four Souls Jewel, she was destined to disappear from the beginning.

After all, if you want to completely reshape the Shikon Jade, you must collect all the Shikon Jade fragments. As a creature created by the Shikon Jade fragments, Ninja World Kikyo will eventually disappear with the reshaping of the Shikon Jade.

As for not doing this...

No one knows if it will work, because from everything that has been revealed so far, in order to save the collapsed ninja world, the complete Shikon Jade is required.

So, this is actually a dead end.

This will be the case regardless of whether Naraku is defeated or not, unless everyone abandons this collapsed land and eventually watches its destruction. In that case, it is very likely to cause a chain reaction, leading to the immediate destruction of humanity in the main world.

In the Ninja World, Kikyo realized this after she learned about her own existence, which is why she had such a strong will to sacrifice.

As she said, she knew her fate.

This makes people in the real world feel uncomfortable. As people watching from a God's perspective, they instantly feel like the knife is coming again.

However, the people in the image on the screen did not know, at least Roman did not know the specific situation. After listening to the words of the servant Kikyo, although he felt that there seemed to be some hidden meaning in it, he did not delve into it. After all, they were still at war, so everyone should be serious.

Then, Roman spoke up, "I don't understand why I can summon the same person, but since it's already like this, let's make good use of the power we have now!"

"Miss Archer, as a Servant, your power should be the same as Miss Kikyo's, right? Our enemy is a monster called Naraku. He has super vitality and recovery ability, and seems to have a fragment of the Four Souls Jewel. He is very difficult to deal with. Can you defeat him? Or do you have the power to restrain him?"

The servant Kikyo nodded slightly: "I already know the specific situation through exchanging memories with my other self. Although it is really sad to see Naraku again, if it is that guy, I do have the ability to destroy him."

As she spoke, her gaze was already looking off into the distance.

There, Naraku, whose body had just been beaten to pieces, had recovered to a certain extent.

"Moreover, this Naraku is even more insane and evil than the Naraku I remember. He is letting his emotions control him."

"No, it should be said that he is venting his twisted emotions."

I even felt a little sad in my heart, because although the Naraku in the servant Kikyo's memory was also a crazy and evil monster with twisted emotions, that monster was able to control his emotions and while acting according to his desires, he showed cunning means and cold wisdom.

Now, this Naraku, who was created from the fragments of the Shikon Jewel, completely allowed himself to be controlled by his emotions and basically lost his brain.

Otherwise, if the servant Kikyo knew about Naraku, he would have surrendered long ago when the situation was at a stalemate.

To be honest, the servant Kikyo was somewhat relieved. After all, if it was the original Naraku, it would be really difficult to kill him. Even if she had the ability to restrain him, it would be difficult to kill him. The opponent's ability to survive and his cold-blooded and cunningness were both at the maximum, making him even more difficult to deal with than a certain trash demon king.

Thinking of this, the servant Kikyo raised her hand and placed it on the shoulder of Ninja World Kikyo. The holy magic power was injected into the other's body and directly penetrated the deepest part of her body.

The feeling of being "penetrated" by someone else's power was not pleasant, but Kikyo in the Ninja World knew that the other her had no ill intentions, so she just accepted it all calmly.

Soon, the magic power of the servant Kikyo entered the deepest part of Kikyo's body in the Ninja World and found the restless fragments of the Four Souls Jade.

Although this fragment of the Shikon Jade is completely different from the one in the Servant Kikyo's memory, its essential power is still the Shikon Jade.

Coincidentally, as a shrine maiden who has been entangled with the Four Souls Jewel for her entire life, she also sublimated this concept after becoming a Heroic Spirit.

This resulted in Kikyo having the ability to control the Shikon Jewel.

Originally, this ability was completely useless. After all, it was useless unless you encountered the Four Souls Jade. But in today's ninja world, there just happened to be the Four Souls Jade.

Even if the Four Souls Jade has been transformed and strengthened, it is still the Four Souls Jade.

The servant Kikyo, who possesses the special ability to control the Shikon Jade, can use conceptual skills to control the Shikon Jade unreasonably.

Therefore, the backup plan left by Naraku was directly and forcibly eliminated by his servant Kikyo, causing the restlessness and instability in Kikyo's body in the ninja world to suddenly disappear.

In an instant, Ninja World Kikyo was excited and felt her strength returned.

So, Ninja World Kikyo immediately nodded to Servant Kikyo: "Thank you, I am much better now, and there is no problem fighting."

The servant Kikyo withdrew her right hand, nodded slightly, and then faced Naraku: "Then, let's attack together!"

Ninja World Kikyo hummed, bent her bow and drew her arrow.

Seeing the changes in Kikyo in the Ninja World, although I don’t know what the servant Kikyo did, that weak state has disappeared, which means that a super powerful combat force has been added.

So, there is no need to say anything more.

When the two Kikyo take action, even if the power used by the servant Kikyo is no longer spiritual power but magic power, it can be sublimated into the concept of a heroic spirit, and the attribute of "exorcism" is directly engraved into Kikyo's skill list.

The A-level demon-slaying skill allows the servant Kikyo to perfectly replicate the effects of spiritual power with magic power.

Even Kikyo's physical strength, which was her weakness during her lifetime, was supplemented by the attributes of her Servant's body.

Even with only C-level strength, C-level agility, and B-level durability, after becoming a Servant, she is still much stronger than she was in life.

What's more, there is the abundant magic power replenishment from Fujimaru Tachibana.

Then, the magic-destroying arrows began to shoot continuously.

The two Kikyo attacked together. Servant Kikyo, relying on his servant body, showed a stronger shooting speed and power, and directly began to purify the monsters and environmental pollution created by Naraku on a large scale.

It is obvious that Kikyo, as a servant, is actually very limited. She is a standard servant specializing in special attacks against demons and evil spirits. In most cases, her ability is actually not as good as other servants, especially in servant fights such as the Holy Grail War. Unless she encounters a servant that is her natural counter, her strength will be at the bottom.

When various abilities cannot be used for special attacks, they are almost useless.

However, when the locals turned out to be evil, she, who had been promoted from a demon-slaying witch to a heroic spirit, completely became a super-killer, instantly unleashing a power even more terrifying than when she was alive.

Even without releasing the Noble Phantasm, each arrow fired by the Servant Kikyo is actually equivalent to continuously using the power of a B-level anti-military Noble Phantasm.

One arrow kills a large number of enemies, and the special attack is more powerful than the sky.

The current servant Kikyo demonstrates single-person firepower coverage, and one person is a legion.

As for Kikyo of the Ninja World, due to her physical fitness, her archery speed is far inferior to that of the Servant Kikyo. However, her holy purification ability still makes her killing efficiency not weak, but not as exaggerated as that of the Servant Kikyo.

So, under the continuous basic attacks of the two Kikyo, the big commotion caused by Naraku - at least in this area, was directly cleared out.

Naraku himself was eventually nailed to a large rock by the targeted sealing arrow shot by his servant Kikyo, making it difficult for him to escape, and his injured body's recovery speed was also curbed.
