Chapter 531: The Detained King of Knights
"Assassin?"
Illya perceived a terrifyingly huge magical energy emerge from Assassin's body. Magical energy of that level, even she couldn't possess.
And she had known before that although he possessed powerful martial arts exceeding ordinary specifications, Assassin himself was extremely weak in both magical energy capacity and Mana Burst.
Basically, every time he used a powerful move, it was accompanied by an intense extraction of magical energy.
In other words, Assassin · Mercenary Tao's extra-spec power was also accompanied by extra-spec squeezing of his Master. An ordinary Master probably wouldn't be able to handle this special Servant at all.
But right now it was completely different. Illya hadn't suffered any extraction, yet an intense magical energy reaction directly erupted from Mercenary Tao.
"Master, thank you for your magical energy supply. This Holy Grail War has ended... No, probably the Holy Grail War of this world has ended."
Kaito Shirogane felt the stinging and tearing sensation arising in his soul. At the same time, a terrifying power surged within his body. In the unseen world, he clearly began to feel that in the distance, another huge magical energy source echoing with him began to operate.
In the sky, the thunderclouds Kaito Shirogane summoned using the [Wild and Obscure] title (he switched titles after ending the Despairing Savior mode) had begun to show a huge hole.
As if a hole had been torn in the sky, from that cavity, the thunderclouds frantically surged upwards, as if the air there could no longer cling and was entirely swept away by the void.
Scarlet luster spread from around the pitch-black cavity, rendering outwards like ink washing, exactly like the most gorgeous blood moon quietly appearing in the sky.
[The Lesser Grail is about to leave the body. Special Reincarnator EX051, now commencing soul check]
...
In the pure white consciousness space, originally already stirred almost upside down because powerful spirit bodies were continuously thrown in, at this moment, it was as if scarlet light was projected in from outside the sea of consciousness.
The consciousness world, which had previously been struck with cracks and loopholes by the Sage, its pure white was immediately dyed by those red lights.
At this moment, millions of dead souls staged an intense riot.
Want to live!
Want to resurrect!
Want to live on freely!
Almost all the Yin Spirits were in constant struggle. Those desires that had subsided, at this moment, frantically surged.
Gojo Satoru, with a cold expression, flew high in the air. He was very close to the Throne of the Heart. Merely by raising his hand, he blasted away the Yin Spirits pouncing towards him, making them fall into the Yellow Springs.
And more Yin Spirits, amidst tearing at each other, once again converged into towers. Pitch-black towers of Yin Spirits began to erect.
At first, they were only tens of meters high, but soon exceeded a hundred meters, a thousand meters, constantly squirming and charging towards the [Throne of the Heart].
Gojo Satoru completely had no emotion when killing things like Yin Spirits, dead souls, and Cursed Spirits. He unscrupulously used his Jujutsu to blast and kill the residents here.
"Hey, hey, hey, didn't that host play a bit too far?!"
Sensing that millions of Yin Spirits had completely rioted, and there were already dozens of Yin Spirit towers over a thousand meters high, Gojo Satoru had a reckless expression, but started complaining.
The Millennium Bug wearing a trench coat stood below Gojo Satoru. The two were considered an alliance in a sense, but at this moment, the Millennium Bug didn't answer Gojo Satoru. He merely frowned, looking not far away at the girl who exuded a special white luster all over her body, as if she had transcended human spirit bodies.
The other party, soaked in the Yellow Springs, opened her eyes at this moment. After sweeping her gaze over the multitude of Yin Spirits and spirit bodies, she similarly looked at the Millennium Bug.
"You are that Millennium Bug of [Black Water]. So it's indeed like this... The power that guy Mercenary Tao obtained from the Taizan Fukun Ritual is this kind of power."
Her eyes were gloomy, beginning to gnaw on her fingertips, constantly calculating in her heart: if it had been her who completed the ritual and obtained this kind of power back then, probably she could do things a hundred times crazier than now.
Uchiha Madara's eyes spun, the Sharingan already appearing. Beneath his seat, a huge fox demon beast roared fiercely. That feeling of chakra surging frantically completely shouldn't have appeared in this world, but the surrounding Yin Spirits were swept down in large swathes in an instant.
To the east of the Throne of the Heart, the Shinigami [Black Mask], whose mask had cracked and face was completely covered with dense black text, had his back to the Throne of the Heart, slowly unsheathing that long tachi.
Hum!
The movement of swinging the sword was completely invisible, but merely with an intense sword hum, a terrifying oppressive feeling abruptly erupted.
Pfft pfft pfft pfft boom!
The Yellow Springs directly exploded. A silver line thousands of meters long directly blasted to pieces all the spirit bodies on its path, sending them back to the Yellow Springs.
The sword pressure catalyzed by that pure Reiatsu, in its direct effect on spirit bodies, was even more convenient than Gojo Satoru's Jujutsu.
Medea coldly watched each of the powerful souls in this weird world. She gradually figured out the truth here.
This place was actually the consciousness world of that Assassin. The other party forcibly imprisoned so many souls within his own body.
"Truly a... madman..."
Even a witch from the Age of Gods could only give this kind of evaluation.
This style of completely disregarding one's own body and soul, even in the Age of Gods, few people or gods would do.
Not to mention directly containing an existence similar to the River Styx within one's body.
Sizzle!
Accompanied by another Heroic Spirit falling from the sky, this guy's sea of consciousness seemed to be unable to bear it anymore. Heaven and earth shook, and the pure white world seemed to experience an earthquake.
Outside those cracks, more intense red light surged in. Medea's expression changed.
It's magical energy!
She clearly perceived magical energy.
In the next moment, looking at the blonde King of Knights falling from the sky with a look of confusion, Medea took the initiative to approach and spoke.
"That madman forcibly absorbed us Heroic Spirits, completely not considering the existence of the Throne of Heroes. Heh, now, probably having absorbed too many Heroic Spirits, the Throne of Heroes is already calling for our return..."
"He's dead for sure!"
Saying this, Medea moved a bit closer to Saber. She had an abnormal infatuation with this heroic female knight.
Beside them, Sasaki Kojiro, arms crossed over his chest, constantly shifting positions as he was squeezed by the pitch-black Heroic Spirit, shook his head.
"A Martial Arts Grandmaster of that level wouldn't be some stupid guy."
"Yes, unlike the madness shown, that Assassin is actually very rational when fighting."
Artoria had also realized by this time what had happened earlier. Her resolute sword strike under the enhancement of the Command Spell was fed back onto herself synchronously by some kind of power.
And Assassin also had an abnormal resurrection ability.
Although she had negative factors such as lack of magical energy supply and not having [The Everdistant Utopia · Avalon] by her side, regarding the result of this battle, it was undoubtedly her defeat.
She hadn't expected that Mercenary Tao, who crazily took on all other Servants alone, would hide a trump card for such a sure-kill strike.
Medea felt an intense suction force. She didn't resist either, simply leaping lightly, taking the initiative to comply with that force and fly up.
These Yin Spirits completely didn't understand the essence of the matter, seemingly still fighting for that throne in the sky.
But they, these Heroic Spirits, originally just descended temporarily from the Throne of Heroes in the shell of a [Class]. Ultimately, they still had to return to the Throne of Heroes.
The red light flourished in an instant, as if that physical body outside had shattered, completely reflecting the white consciousness space into scarlet.
Medea instantly flew outwards and directly pierced through the white wall of the sea of consciousness. As she crossed, she seemed to hear Mercenary Tao's muffled groan.
In the next moment, that demon monk similarly flew up, and then Sasaki Kojiro. Only in the central area, White Mask clung tightly to that part of the spirit body squirming in her body.
"Idiots, going out now, isn't that just letting that guy Mercenary Tao succeed?!"
Her gaze flowed. In the next moment, her figure abruptly flew up, pouncing towards Saber.
She didn't believe Mercenary Tao would die because the Heroic Spirits left his body. On the contrary, she was worried this would let Mercenary Tao directly seize the Holy Grail.
How can I let you get what you want!
