Chapter 500: The Long-Lost Premonition of Death, Mystic Eyes of Death Perception
[Master · Masazono Akira is dead]
[Assassin · EX051, you have lost your Master. After your magical energy is exhausted, you will be collected]
This prompt was in bright red font. Kaito Shirogane didn't think that so-called [Collected] meant letting him return to a place like the Throne of Heroes.
For a Reincarnator like him who "smuggled" his way in, it was more likely that he would lose the identity of [Servant] jointly created by the Infinite Dimensional Space and the Counter Force, and would completely become an undocumented resident.
Facing the most direct purge in this world.
The Counter Force of the Type-Moon world could truly directly summon a hero and, in the name of protecting the world and the continuation of humanity, directly obliterate things that shouldn't exist.
Even though Kaito's strength among Reincarnators could now be considered not bad, in this world, there were still many existences capable of killing him.
Not to mention Grand-class Heroic Spirits, those other first-rate Servants also possessed the power to completely annihilate Mercenary Tao in terms of magnitude.
Moreover, a characteristic like [Immortality], in this kind of world that emphasized special attacks and affinities, was far from being something difficult to deal with.
Bang!
A blazing white shockwave exploded in front of him.
Lu Bu was one of the strongest human martial spirits. Kaito wasn't sure if this Lu Bu seized by the Reincarnator before him was stronger or weaker than the one that appeared in Rakshasa Street. At least this Lu Bu before him didn't display things like [Ghost King Power].
But judging purely by the Strength attribute, the other party was probably close to forty points. Agility and Constitution were also quite good. It was a Guardian Spirit whose frontal combat power exceeded an ordinary [Strong] tier Reincarnator. Of course, compared to a Reincarnator, it could only be considered a "blank slate."
Lu Bu was even more shocked at this time. When he threw a punch, in the past it would definitely send people and horses flying. Even military generals who left their names in history would find it hard to resist. But the person before him actually met his fist head-on, and he faintly perceived that the other party's force was even above his own.
[Yin Spirit Body Possession]!
Kaito sent Lu Bu trembling again with a punch. The Sky Piercer Halberd was also difficult to wield because the two were fighting in close quarters. The shadow as black as ink on Kaito's body surface once again wrapped towards Lu Bu.
But the black shadow quivered twice and failed, retracting back into Kaito's body.
Is it because Lu Bu still has a contract with that Reincarnator, so [Yin Spirit Body Possession] is so hard to succeed?!
In the past, when Kaito captured those Yin spirits, it was basically a direct success with one shot of Yin Spirit Body Possession. Only this time, he used it three or four times consecutively, and it was immune by the other party every time.
His ears twitched, catching Gilgamesh's arrogant voice. He frowned, knowing he didn't have much time.
Even he, facing Gilgamesh who could pull out [Sword of Rupture · Ea] at any time, would find it hard to forcibly capture Lu Bu while bearing attacks.
"Preposterous!"
Lu Bu was extremely uncomfortable being fought by Kaito in close quarters. He roared angrily and jolted violently. Intense force swung the Sky Piercer Halberd fiercely, and blade lights instantly flew in the air.
Kaito's robust figure instantly became as light as a floating catkin. He leaned backward and then swayed twice instantly.
At this very moment, relying solely on the control ability of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, he was able to perform movements similar to the Navy's Rokushiki · Kami-e. The combination of the two made him not turn into wind, but as if his body had disappeared, lightly dodging the blade lights that exploded like lotus flowers.
"Lu Fengxian, don't die."
Lu Bu was stunned. In the next moment, his throat was already gripped by a hand.
"Ha!" Kaito exhaled and voiced, [World-Shocking Thunder Roar] exploding.
Subsequently, the intense explosive sound was like a heavenly thunderclap, erupting directly at close range. A large amount of electric current appeared from inside the body of the person before him, directly piercing through his armor.
That kind of sound wave accompanied by an electric current explosion simply couldn't be resisted by the armor and exploded directly inside his body.
Pfft!
The magnificent armor shattered inch by inch. Lu Bu's tall figure became dilapidated almost instantly.
In the next moment, a pitch-black undercurrent completely submerged the dilapidated Lu Bu.
[Yin Spirit Body Possession]!
[You used Bloodline Trait · Yin Spirit Body Possession]
[You are capturing a spiritual body (Special, Guardian Spirit). Checking...]
[Check Successful]
[You captured a powerful spiritual body (Special, Guardian Spirit)]
Ha, it worked!
Kaito was delighted in his heart. In the next moment, his figure flew backward. Several magnificent treasured swords and daggers blasted into the ground, and the ground of the block completely shattered.
Kaito seemed to lean back into the night wind, his feet not moving, but flying backward extremely fast towards the roof of a residential building.
Jaken had already seen the Space prompt. My Guardian Spirit was taken away?!
His eyes turned red. Taking a few steps, the stone slab ground flew up piece by piece. Intense force condensed on the silver spear in his right hand. In the next moment, it shot towards the sky like a flying rainbow.
Whoosh!
Whoosh~ Pfft!
The silver spear, far faster than when it flew out, was like a pitch-black bullet. In an instant, it flew back from the air along its original path. Jaken subconsciously dodged to the side, feeling a pain in his shoulder as a large piece of flesh and blood had already been scraped off.
He watched Mercenary Tao in the air, still with a smile, turn and fall into the night. Gilgamesh had no intention of pursuing at this time. Instead, he looked with keen interest at Saber, who was guarding Emiya Shirou.
Jaken opened his mouth, and finally, with a gloomy expression, retreated a few steps and disappeared into the darkness.
He began to understand why Gilgamesh, whose panel strength was so powerful, repeatedly had no good results.
This guy's arrogance had reached an uncommunicable level. Although Jaken didn't know by what means White Mask replaced Kotomine Kirei, he figured commanding Gilgamesh wouldn't be an easy task.
Jaken calmed down quite a bit in his heart. White Mask wasn't as invincible in this world as he described. He shouldn't have taken sides and entered the fray prematurely.
Fortunately, this time Gilgamesh and Artoria appeared at the same time. Otherwise, he would highly likely have become a new Scarlet Drop Card on Mercenary Tao's stall.
As Jaken left, Gilgamesh didn't even look. He merely scrutinized Artoria below.
Gilgamesh didn't consider himself Kotomine Kirei's "Servant"; the two had a cooperative relationship. Even if it was a cooperative relationship, to him, that was already a kind of bestowal to a mortal.
He didn't need to obey anyone's orders.
Moreover, he didn't feel any power capable of threatening him from that bug just now.
The so-called Assassin was just a bug hiding in the night. Once it revealed itself, it could be killed casually.
Furthermore, the other party's Master was already dead. He figured it wouldn't be a few days before that guy disappeared somewhere in Fuyuki City.
Artoria faced a formidable enemy. Emiya Shirou wasn't considered a qualified Master and completely couldn't supply her with magical energy. Facing an enemy like Gilgamesh, her expression was severe.
...
On the other side, Kaito, who successfully retreated like a true Assassin, landed on a streetlight at this time. He looked at a person below, and the smile that arose from seizing the Guardian Spirit had slowly dissipated.
That was a woman with short hair. Seeming to have noticed his existence, she looked up, revealing a pair of unusual pupils.
Those light blue eyes had a ring of red luster.
That is... the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception?!
This woman is Ryougi Shiki...
In the next moment, Kaito clearly felt the other party's gaze focus on his body. His Observation Haki and the intuition of a Martial Arts Grandmaster warned him crazily.
It had been a long time since he experienced that sensation of his spine and forehead being stimulated to numbness by an intense burning pain.
That was the intent of death. Being stared at by this woman, his body instinctively perceived the crisis of death...
