Comprehensive comic: Starting from the Soul Society and cutting through all the worlds

Chapter 863: The Heroic Spirits Gathered at Ryudo Temple
"Two-sword style? Is this also a kind of destiny? Or is it explaining and proving something?"

Looking at the fishing rod in his hand, Sasaki Kojiro's clear-headed mentality showed a rare look of loneliness.

In pursuit of the ultimate sword skill, he had traveled to many places and defeated many masters. He spent his entire life just to hone the art of sword to the pinnacle. For this, he even gave up his own name and lived only for the sword skill in his hand.

But after so many years, when he did nothing else but swinging his sword every day, was he still unable to surpass that man?

"I am me, and Miyamoto Musashi is Miyamoto Musashi. Just because I use the two-sword style, you can't replace me with him.

And it is undeniable that Miyamoto Musashi is indeed a powerful swordsman, and his Niten Ichiryu is also an extremely powerful kendo skill.

But Sasaki Kojiro, have you lost your original intention now? What do you want to pursue, Miyamoto Musashi, or kendo itself?"

"Miyamoto Musashi is very strong, but he cannot represent the pinnacle of kendo. Throughout history, there have been countless kendo masters like stars.

It’s not the past, it’s the future. When you put shackles on yourself, you are no longer as good as Miyamoto Musashi.”

After leaving these words, Ye Cheng turned around and walked up the steps of Liudong Temple.

And Sasaki Kojiro did not try to stop Ye Cheng, but just stood there in a daze. Finally, after reacting, he nodded and thanked Ye Cheng from behind.

That's right, what Sasaki Kojiro pursued in his life was the highest level of sword. For this, he was even willing to become an unknown warrior. If that was the case, why should he be obsessed with someone?

There is no end to the way of the kendo. If one is overly obsessed with a certain existence, wouldn't it be like treating that person as the pinnacle of the way of the kendo, and also fixing one's own upper limit there?

After defeating Kojiro Sasaki and entering the Night City of Ryudo Temple, he soon discovered a large amount of magic circle analysis data and intelligence summaries in the temple.

With Ye Cheng's level of magic, he could naturally tell at a glance that the data collected here were all about the magic circle that sealed the Holy Grail.

When Ye Cheng saw the information about magic circles filling the temple, as well as various plans on how to crack and add additional seals, he was also confused.

He knew that Medea's goal was the Holy Grail, but why did she study these things?
In addition to the large amount of information on the magic circle, Yecheng even discovered that there were many modern thermal weapons stored here, which was like a small arsenal.

The scene before him made Ye Cheng, who was already confused, even more confused!

No, Medea's research on magic circles is her specialty, but what the hell are these weapons? She is a magician from the Age of Gods, but now she has become a nuclear peace advocate?

Could it be that these things belonged to her master? But wasn't Soichiro Kuzuki a martial arts expert who was good at boxing and hand-to-hand combat?
Ye Cheng was confused as he looked at the weapons and information in the temple, but outside Liudong Temple, other people had arrived.

The first to arrive here were Shirou Emiya and Saber.

Toosaka Rin and the Heroic Spirit Emiya went to the church to ask Kotomine Kirei for an explanation, so the protagonists temporarily split up.

Originally, Shirou Emiya wanted to wait until Rin finished her work, but a large number of Ryuga soldiers caused chaos in Fuyuki City tonight, which disrupted Shirou Emiya's plan.

As a man who is determined to become a "partner of justice", how could he ignore Medea's evil deeds? So through tracking and investigation all the way, they learned that Medea's target this time was Ryudo Temple, so they rushed here first and hoped to wait for her.

However, what they did not expect was that just as they were about to enter Ryudo Temple, they were stopped by a handsome swordsman.

Who would have thought that there was a heroic spirit hiding in this temple deep in the mountains? Shirou Emiya and his companions wanted to go up the mountain, but Kojiro Sasaki's job was to guard the gate. In addition, the participants in the Holy Grail War were all competitors, so naturally the two sides started fighting after a disagreement.

Kojiro Sasaki, who had just made a breakthrough in his state of mind, became stronger again. However, because his master was too weak, Saber's ability parameters were greatly reduced. Facing Kojiro Sasaki, who had just improved, she was suppressed and beaten almost the entire time.

"You have excellent swordsmanship and martial arts skills. If it was you that I met at the beginning of this Holy Grail War, I would probably have to go through a tough battle.

But unfortunately, I had just fought with a stronger kendo master not long ago and benefited a lot from that battle.

You are no match for me now. My master only allows me to stay here. If I retreat now, I can still save my life."

Kojiro Sasaki, who had just defeated a BOSS, is now facing Saber, who is equivalent to an elite monster, and is obviously quite calm.

He could sense that Saber still had some strength left, but with just this level, it was impossible for her to resist his attack.

Now I have not used my ultimate move, but I can still easily suppress the opponent. Once I use "Swallow Returns", the opponent will definitely be dead or disabled.

Sasaki Kojiro was quite happy to suddenly meet so many kendo masters tonight, so he generously decided to let Saber and the others evacuate.

However, in the face of Kojiro Sasaki's "leniency", Saber tightly grasped the Sword of Promised Victory in her hand and expressed her attitude.

Just when Sasaki Kojiro thought that his opponent was ungrateful and was about to use his ultimate move to kill him, and Saber also grasped the sword with both hands and was ready for battle, Medea and Sakura arrived late.

The appearance of Medea and Medusa directly interrupted the battle between Sasaki Kojiro and Saber.

After realizing that both Medusa and Medea were heroic spirits, Sasaki Kojiro, who had put away his sword, frowned slightly and said, "There seem to be too many uninvited guests tonight..."

Honestly speaking, the successive appearances of the heroic spirits made Sasaki Kojiro and Ming Jing Shisui feel a little overwhelmed at the moment.

His master asked him to guard the mountain gate, but he never said that so many people would come tonight!

Yes, Sasaki Kojiro had prayed for an opponent to hone his kendo skills with because he was too bored staying at the mountain gate, but he didn't expect so many people to come at once.

What's so good about a deserted place like Ryudo Temple? Why are people flocking here?

Previously, Night City was not a participant in the Holy Grail War, so Sasaki Kojiro let the other party go. After all, he would at most be scolded by the Master afterwards.

But now the other people here are all participants in the Holy Grail War, so it is obviously impossible for him to give up his base behind him so easily.

"Caster, why did you let those magical creations attack ordinary people? You should know that the Holy Grail War prohibits us from attacking ordinary people at will!"

When they saw Medea appear, Shirou Emiya and Saber immediately accused her indignantly.

However, in response to the accusations of the two, Medea showed a look of indifference and said, "I am a witch who has done all kinds of evil. I chose to do that naturally to achieve my own goals."
