Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball Wars!.

Chapter 628 628. Struggle! (4K)

What does it feel like to face a Servant directly?
It would be fine if you were just observing and talking, but when you actually stand in front of it, you feel a sense of solemnity that makes your whole body tense.

Especially when the undisguised murderous aura came, even breathing became difficult.

But this situation did not make Iori retreat. Instead, it aroused his eagerness to try.

He had already drawn the knife with both hands, showing an intention to fight.

"Huh"

Staring at those eyes, Xu seemed to have discovered something, with a hint of surprise.

That's not fear or fearlessness.
Rather, it was the "excitement" of planning to fight a strong enemy.

"interesting."

It approached closely as if teleporting, and the slashing blade was like the god of death's scythe.

"Clang!!"

The swords met and collided, and Iori was blown away by the unreasonable force.

"Crack!!"

His body hit the tree trunk hard and fell, but he immediately regrouped and stood up.

(You cannot arbitrarily struggle with strength.)
Realizing this, I changed my strategy.

Just that one blow was enough to cause pain in his palm. With such a difference in strength, he couldn't withstand a few blows in hand-to-hand combat.

A green stream of light flashed by, and a ball of light that looked like a star was shot out.

Wind type!
This is Iori's unique skill that combines sword skills and magic, which is completely different from his master Miyamoto Musashi's Wind Type.

"Clap clap clap!!!"

Straightening his body, Xu chopped the sphere into pieces with just one strike.

But the moment the sphere shattered, smoke and dust covered the surrounding area and blocked his vision.

"Whoosh!"

I could hear the sound of something whistling in the air, and at the same time I turned around and stabbed upwards with the knife.

"Crack!"

The figure that broke through the thick smoke reacted to the stabbing tip of the knife.

Hold the knife in your left hand and rub and slide it against the virtual side of the blade, using the thrust to drive your body to turn in the air as much as possible.

"Wow!"

There was a trace of blood on his cheek, but it was barely avoided.

He raised his right hand suddenly and struck back with the tip of the knife.

"Pfft!!"

The blade pierced into the opponent's shoulder. Before Iori could feel happy when he landed on the ground, he saw the expressionless face.

"!"

Xu just ignored his injured left shoulder and drew his sword to chop straight at him.

"Wow!!"

Blood was splattering and Iori was backing away.

Pain spread across my chest.

Blood dyed the collar red
exchange injury for injury
He had not anticipated the opponent's ferocity.

Generally speaking, swordsmen will only consider exchanging injuries with the enemy in extreme circumstances.

If it's not necessary, I won't do it.
Faced with a "weakling" like himself, why would the heroic spirit be willing to exchange places with him even at the cost of being hurt?

I couldn't continue thinking, but I saw an amazing scene.

(Is your injury healed?)
It can be clearly seen that the cut on the shoulder was sutured directly, without any trace of injury remaining.

Seeing such a scene for the first time, Iori obviously "short-circuited" for a moment.

But the approaching blade left him no room to remain dazed.

The body swayed, drawing a semicircular arc at its location.

While dodging the attack, he slashed with his backhand.

"Zheng!"

He just pointed the blade downward and slashed horizontally, but was stopped in mid-air, unable to move forward or backward.

Instead, there was a waving fist.

"boom!"

"Well!"

He jumped up suddenly and swung the knife in his other hand to attack.

The fist collided with the blade, and while Hollow was injured, he pushed Iori back again.

"Hahu."

Adjusting his breathing, Iori became certain of something horrible.

That's the fact that opponents don't seem to care about the injury.

The recovery ability is so fast that the opponent doesn't even have the energy to defend himself.

It is impossible to confirm whether this is a skill of a Heroic Spirit or a Noble Phantasm, but the situation is overwhelmingly disadvantageous to him.

A normal Master would probably have started to panic.
"I witnessed this scene without any fear or retreat."

"Some just intend to continue fighting me."

"Looks like he's pretty hungry."

Hearing the other party's words, Iori was speechless for a moment.

After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he seemed to be a little too bold.

Faced with a formidable enemy, he did not avoid it or choose to wait for Saber to return, but faced it alone.

"I just wanted to stop you."

"Who on earth are you to kill people at the gate of Edo Castle?"

As he spoke, Iori used his usual rhetoric.

This has been the "goal" he has set for himself all along.

Not for myself, but just to maintain law and order in Edo.

No other ideas.
"Ah"

A smile appeared on his face, but Xu saw through the "loneliness" hidden deep in the heart of the Master in front of him.

That is the mentality of being dissatisfied with peace and hoping for something in between chaos.

"what!"

Facing the Heroic Spirit, the Master launched a charge.

The attacks with distinct postures also demonstrated different schools of thought.

The fiery red blade flashed along with the heavy blow, and Xu raised the blade to block it without any concern.

"Bah!"

Even if it can force him back a small step, it won't be a big deal.

As the blade chopped up and down, one could clearly see the force and heft of the blade.

"Whoosh!!"

While defending, Xu can even seize the opponent's flaws and fight back.

Wounds continued to appear on Iori's body, but he showed no sign of stopping.

(The more wounded he is, the more ferocious his swordsmanship becomes?)

With a grin on his face, Xu realized something interesting.

That is, as he continues to put pressure on his opponent, or even injure him, Iori will show more fierce counterattacks.

Faster sword swinging speed
The power of the slash is heavier.
It is hard to imagine that this is the performance that the Master can show.

"I see."

With a sigh, Xu probably understood the man's contradictory words.

I long to fight in my heart, but I always numb myself with some apparent reasons.

This is a swordsman who cannot stand the "taste" of fighting a strong enemy.

Perhaps it is because the long period of peace has suppressed their inner feelings for too long, and when they erupt, the "symptoms" will become more intense.

In that case
"Then vent as much as you can."

With a malicious smile, there was a sense of indulgence.

Such a young and naive "Master" is rare.

If you guide him step by step to taste the "sweetness" of fighting, it will inevitably develop into a very interesting ending.

Xu thinks so.
"Bang!"

Faced with the lightning-fast continuous slashing, Xu also gradually increased the strength of the opponent appropriately.

Fire type. Doesn't work.
Wind type. Not possible either.
Water type and earth type.
Unable to detect the other party's evil intentions, Iori was just immersed in such a battle. Although he was at a disadvantage, he had never had such a "refreshing" moment.
This is the scene of launching an attack on the opponent with all your strength.
He had never encountered this before.

But now, I am experiencing it to the fullest.

Although I knew in my head that I should stop immediately, my body moved on its own for some reason.

not enough
not enough!
I still want to continue fighting with such a strong swordsman.

Only by fighting against such an enemy can he realize that all he has learned in his life is worthwhile.

Constantly switch between the four sword types: fire, wind, water, and earth.

The state of being immersed in offense and defense made Iori more enthusiastic.

He even forgot that he was a human being facing a heroic spirit.
"Ahhh!!!"

Roaring and using all his strength to deflect the Hollow's sword, a rare smile of satisfaction appeared on Iori's face.

The tip of the knife was approaching his throat, but facing this situation, Iori did not feel the slightest fear.

"Flying Sword Style"

"Nine-headed Dragon Flash!!"

And at this moment, the figure that suddenly attacked from behind activated the treasure that he relied on.

"puff!!!"

The attack hit perfectly, interrupting the danger approaching Iori.

"call"

After a while, he fell to the ground and looked at the enemy who was knocked far away and fell to the ground due to the impact and slash, and Kenshin breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he came in time, otherwise who knows how dangerous the situation would have become.

Iori was also more reckless than he expected, and actually confronted the Heroic Spirit head-on.

"Master?"

Looking at the other person's cold expression, Kenshin shouted.

“Saber?”

Hearing this, Iori was obviously in a trance, his expression was dazed for a moment, and then he realized what he had done.

He seems to be a little too "carrying his pride".

He was almost killed just now, but why is he so indifferent?

The consequences would definitely be serious.
But now he didn't feel grateful for surviving the disaster, but rather a sense of regret of "unfulfilled desires".

Failed to defeat the opponent.
I'm still not strong enough
If I could use special skills, maybe
Analyzing each of Hollow's moves, not to mention his strange recovery ability, Iori imagined the possible outcomes of the battle.

"Nine-headed Dragon Flash."

"The descendant of the Feitian Yujian School."

Hearing the sound coming slowly, Kenshin looked over suddenly, only to find that the man who had been hit by nine consecutive blows had stood up.

The cut wound just now has disappeared at this moment, and only the remaining cut on the clothes shows the traces of the impact.

"The Cross Scar"

"Himurai Kenshin?"

"!"

After his real name was revealed, Kenshin just held his sword in guard.

It seems that the other party knows my name and may be a person related to the original world.

But unfortunately, Kenshin had no impression of the face of the Hollow and could not recognize the other party's identity.
What's more, the strange recovery rate just now is worrying.

"Saber, be careful. I don't know what's wrong with that guy, but his injuries will heal very quickly."

Reminding Kenshin, Iori returned to "normal" a little.

"Noble Phantasm, Skill, or Magic?"

He was attacked by one of his own Noble Phantasms, but he was able to stand up as if nothing had happened. It's really terrifying.

At least Kenshin doesn't think he can do it.
This shows that the enemy possesses very troublesome power.

"Well, although you are also an unstable factor that should be eliminated."

"But it's better to deal with the other side first."

"It would be really troublesome if we delay and they escape."

Touching his chin, Xu glanced at Kenshin and then gave his evaluation.

Same as Roronoa Zoro.
Kenshin Himura is not the "chess piece" in his plan.

If they are useless to oneself but pose a threat to other Sabers, then they should be killed.

After all, no matter what, Xu couldn't imagine that Kenshin Himura would have any "use value".

No matter whether Kenshin Himura uses the Nine-Headed Dragon Flash or the Tensho Dragon Flash, it is meaningless to him.

Unfortunately, there was already a customer here, so he couldn't dawdle here.

Knowing the details of this group, he can strike back at any time.

"what?"

"?"

Not really understanding what Kyon meant, Iori and Kenshin were both stunned.

Kenshin frowned, able to sense the other party's hidden murderous intent.

Although it was very brief, but only in that moment, the enemy wanted to kill him.

What surprised him was that.
This fleeting murderous intent did not seem to include Iori, but was directed only at himself.

Why is this happening?
I can't understand this distinction.
"Wait!"

Seeing the other person running in a certain direction, Iori stretched out his hand and shouted, and was about to chase him but was stopped by Kenshin.

"Master!"

"!"

Coming back to his senses, Iori shook his head and calmed down.

We should not get entangled with this enemy.

After all, I have no idea what the reason for that recovery ability is.

It was fun to chop just now, but when you look closely, you will find that you are covered in wounds.

If Kenshin hadn't appeared to rescue him, he might have been dead.

"I'll go chase him and see, Iori, you leave here first."

There was no need to expect the injured Iori to catch up; rather, Kenshin would rather he stay away.

Although I didn't fight with the opponent just now, he looked very dangerous.

As a swordsman, Kenshin had never had such a "terrifying" premonition.

Different from the Master, and also different from the Heroic Spirits I met before.
That man was filled with "malice" towards everything.

As part of the same war, there will inevitably be conflict.

"Ah, you better be careful."

"I'm afraid he's going after another Heroic Spirit."

Judging from the opponent's attitude just now, the heroic spirit that fought with him should have escaped.

But since he didn't run far, Xu chased him.

And he happened to run into a freak like Iori at the city gate, so he stopped for a while.

Since he couldn't go after them, Iori could only count on Kenshin to go after them.

If there is danger, he will choose to use the Command Spell to provide support.

.........

"Damn it. Why is this happening?"

Carrying the man on his shoulders, carrying the wounded heroic spirit, Jiemon said unhappily.

How come as the Master, he is the one “doing things”?
Now not only do we have to carry this guy away with great effort, but we also have to be careful not to leave any traces and be tracked.

Although I don't think the other party can catch up, it's still better to be careful.

Chiemon's judgment was correct and prudent.
Escape from the secret passage, use the Command Spell to pull back the servants, and then return to the base camp along the river road.

Covering your tracks along the way should have been the safest approach.

but.
"Asshole. How can you catch up with this?"

He carried the person and didn't look back, but Chiemon was already sweating profusely.

The sharp murderous intent coming from behind was as cold as falling into an ice cave, which made people horrified.

Xu stared at him, then smiled and comforted him.

“You’ve been struggling hard.”

“So you don’t have to work hard anymore.”
