Chapter 190: Emiya: I also know a little about Niten Ichiryu (two in one)

"My Lord, my Lord..."

Aso's eyes widened, full of surprise and confusion. She stared blankly at the petite girl in front of her, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart. The girl in front of her was definitely not an ordinary person -

She was able to hide in the shadows just now, and her movements were so fast that people couldn't see clearly. Although she was small in stature, she was obviously a powerful assassin who had undergone precise training...

The only thing that puzzled Masao was why the girl called her "Lord"? Did she travel back to the Warring States Period and become a heroine? Countless absurd thoughts flashed through her mind.

"My lord, that's not the case. Now is the Holy Grail War. My class is Assassin. I am the sword that defeats your opponents and brings you victory. You are the lord I serve."

The girl who called herself "Assassin Paraiso" bowed slightly. Her eyes were as sharp as a hawk, and she quickly scanned the surroundings. "It seems that you don't have this common sense. You are just an ordinary person who was accidentally involved in the war."

"Holy Grail War...?"

After listening to Paraiso's explanation, Aso Shin's confusion not only did not disappear, but became more and more. What is the Holy Grail War? Who do I need to compete with? Do other people have such warriors under my command? What is the benefit of fighting this kind of Holy Grail War?
Countless questions suddenly popped up in her mind, but she couldn't find the answers.

"By the way...what should I call you, Assassin? Paraiso? Those don't sound like normal names."

Aso rolled his eyes nervously, and suddenly noticed that the bright red mark on the back of his hand had also changed, showing a strange pattern of unknown meaning.

"My lord, during the Holy Grail War, the true names of servants must be hidden. Otherwise, if they are discovered by competitors, they will be targeted for leaking information," Paraiso lowered his eyes.

"And... I don't seem to know my real name or origin. It seems that it is because of the abnormal summoning? Anyway, my lord, you can call me Assassin."

"Real name hidden? Summoning anomaly?" Aso Makoto felt a headache again when she heard the new and unfamiliar terms. She couldn't help but hold her forehead and complained in her heart: Can't someone come and give her a clear and concise explanation?
"There's no time to explain this now, my lord. Be careful around you!"

Paraiso leaped up from her spot like lightning with a whoosh. Her ninja sword flashed a cold light, instantly splitting a black shadow that rushed over. Her small body flexibly flipped in the air, dodging the arrows from the side, and then quickly dived into the shadows, causing the attacker to lose his target.

The next second, Paraiso emerged from the shadows again, and stabbed the ninja sword upward from under his feet in a sneak attack, ending the life of another enemy. The assassination movement was smooth and flowing.

Masao Makoto stood aside, watching with trepidation.

This kind of fighting style of sneaking and attacking among many enemies is not the kind of exciting scene in the boys' comics. The reality before her could only make her feel a chill. If Paraiso made any mistakes, he would be besieged and killed.

But in the current situation, Aso Makoto himself is also in danger——

"Lord, be careful!"

Hearing the reminder, Aso Makoto hurriedly dodged to the side, but she seemed to be a step too slow. A section of her long hair was quickly cut off by the raised blade, and the hair flew in the air.

Oh no! The enemy is very close, but Paraiso is still far away. It seems that he can't get here in time!

Aso's heart was beating as wildly as a drum. Although he tried his best to run away, his body could not stop shaking because the blade held by the black ghost thing beside him was already within reach!
Damn it, asking an ordinary high school student like her to participate in such a cruel life-and-death battle is too outrageous! She must not be the heroine, but a passerby supporting role who will be killed in a few chapters!

"drink!"

Paraiso's cry came from a distance. Aso really didn't understand what the other party's cry meant, but the next moment a strange scene happened before his eyes -

A snake-like shadow covered with black and red scales suddenly appeared from under her feet, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed the enemy's entire body with just one blow!

And there was more than just this one. Aso saw many snake shadows appearing all around him. They coiled and hovered above the shadows like hideous and terrifying followers of the god of death, entangling countless enemies shrouded in black air and taking them to the other side of the netherworld.

The surroundings soon fell into silence. Aso stared blankly at the scene where enemies fell down and disappeared in large numbers, wondering if this was Paraiso's ability?
Since there is such a skill that can crush the battlefield, why not use it at the beginning?

I always feel like there are more things I can’t understand.

"My lord, the snake is my spell, which requires some preparation... It's not safe here, we need to move as soon as possible!"

Asou nodded blankly. She was already overwhelmed by confusion and didn't know what to do, so she didn't have the energy to complain. She just let love be what it is.

"Then where should we go?" Aso was completely unfamiliar with this strange place. If he just ran around blindly, he would only run into an even larger number of enemies.

Fortunately, Paraiso seemed to have already detected it in advance. "The smell of the snake tells me that there are living creatures in front and behind, but there is the smell of strange servants in the distance behind. They may be enemies. It is best to avoid them. We can choose the front."

"Ok."

----

“Here we go again!”

Emiya picked up two long swords that shone with cold light and swung them alternately. The swords flashed like water and danced like the wind. The fierce sword power was accumulated in them and released through exquisite moves, which rolled up a sharp cutting frenzy on the spot. The shadow servants fell down in groups like harvested wheat.

That's right, he and Eiry once again accidentally entered this strange world.

The two famous swords in his hands now, one is "Hoki Province Yasunaga" and the other is "Izumi no Kami Fujiwara Kanesada", are weapons once held by the sword saint Miyamoto Musashi.

In other words, the sword move that Emiya is performing at this moment is the legendary "Niten Ichiryu". In this country, the two-sword style created by Miyamoto Musashi is almost certainly known to sword users and sword culture enthusiasts.

Of course, if Uesugi Yue was also present, he would definitely widen his eyes and refuse to admit that this fantasy-style move of Emiya's hand that could emit sword energy with a casual slash could also be called "Niten Ichiryu".

Ping——!
The sword energies collided with each other, making sharp and piercing airflow explosions, and a burning breath filled the air.

"Ok?"

Emiya readjusted his stance, and at this moment, he noticed that among the remaining shadow servants in the distance, a black figure with a samurai sword in hand, wings on his back, and a long nose on his face suddenly emerged.

"Tengu?"

Emiya frowned slightly. This appearance was definitely the "Tengu" monster that appeared in the Japanese legend.
It is said that it has a tall and long red nose and red face, wears a costume called "Yamabushi", has wings on its back, and holds weapons mostly such as samurai swords, round fans or treasure hammers. It possesses strange strength and magical powers, and can be said to be a being that combines the nature of a mountain god and a monster.

The most famous Tengu is probably the Great Tengu that Emperor Sutoku transformed into after his death, and the master of Minamoto no Yoshitsune (Ushiwakamaru), Kuramasan Soshobo, also known as Kiichi Hogan.

Bah——!
The shadow servant that looked like a tengu let out a strange cry, flapped its wings and flew high. The sword in its hand swung continuously, forming afterimages, and slashed out a large number of terrifying sword winds from top to bottom.

"Eri, be careful in the sky!"

Emiya raised the blade and pointed it upwards while reminding Eri behind him.

He and Eri are now fighting the enemy back to back. When they act as a team of two, this method of combat is the best option to effectively reduce the area affected by the enemy and increase the survival rate.

Speaking of which, Emiya was once very confused as to why the two of them could enter the mirror world directly on the streets of Shinjuku. Could it be that the entrance and exit of this strange world was on the streets of Shinjuku?
Suppressing his chaotic thoughts, Emiya swung the long sword in his hand quickly, and also slashed out a shining sword energy to offset it.

At the same time, Eri behind him reacted immediately. She swung the sword forged by Emiya in her hand, and the power of judgment of death immediately swept through the air irresistibly. The heavenly dog didn't even have time to scream before it fell heavily from the sky and died.

After a while, the street was finally cleared.

"Eri, based on our last experience, if we want to find the culprit, we still have to find the black shadow that caused the transfer phenomenon." Emiya said as he put away his swords.

Eri held the knife steadily and nodded.

Emiya was about to say something, but suddenly stopped and looked back. He used magic to enhance his vision, "Strange, is there anyone else who strayed in besides us?"

There were two girls in the distance. One of them was running with a low body, as agile as a cheetah. The other one was a little embarrassed, panting and following behind. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Makoto Aso, the clerk at the comics store who I had just met not long ago!
----

"Assassin, can you run slower? I can't keep up!" Aso's face flushed, and sweat dripped down her cheeks. She didn't expect that she would be trapped in a desperate escape at the speed of life and death again.

Originally Paraiso said he was going to run over here, so she obeyed. But for some reason, a large number of demons and monsters gathered over on the way, including tengu, wheel-entertaining beasts, cat-carts, etc.

She had heard of "A Hundred Demons Night Parade" written by Toriyama Sekien, which recorded all kinds of terrifying monsters, but she never expected that this legend would become reality!

Now there was a strong wind blowing behind her, thick smoke and will-o'-the-wisp rising, a doomsday scene. Even Paraiso didn't dare to face the enemy head-on, for she was afraid that she would not be able to take care of the safety of this ordinary master at this time.

"My lord, come on up, I will carry you on my back!"

Paraiso's eyes flashed with anxiety.

"Ah? ...Is this possible?"

Aso really saw that Paraiso was so small, probably only about 1.5 meters tall, but he had to carry a high school student on his back, which seemed a bit difficult.

"It's okay! Although my strength level is not high among servants, the ability of servants is at least dozens of times higher than that of ordinary people," Paraiso explained quickly, "My lord, hurry up--"

The petite ninja girl said as she slowed down and turned around, preparing to carry Masao away. However, her pupils suddenly contracted, and a trace of fear flashed in her eyes - a flaming monster claw had already stretched out to Masao's head, very close!

"My lord, little...!"

Paraiso was too late to defend Asou Shin in time and could only shout anxiously, but before she could finish her words, a huge sword energy shot out from the front, passed over their heads, and violently shattered the flaming claws of "Kazenbo" along with the flames on his body!
"Get out of the way!"

Emiya, who sensed the crisis from afar, arrived first. He held two swords in his hands, posed in front of him, and wielded the sword energy at will.

This strength... He is not a Servant but a human? Paraiso was shocked for a moment, but immediately took Masao Makoto, who had not yet reacted, and jumped nimbly into the tall building next to the street.

Asou's eyes were blank. She only had time to see a flash of red passing by her field of vision before she left the street with her feet hanging in the air. She saw Eri, the girl next to Emiya whom she had met not long ago, wielding a knife to clear monsters between the buildings and clearing a safe area for them.

Emiya was facing the huge, hideous and terrifying "One Hundred Demons Night Parade". He was a little confused about the appearance of monsters. "Shadow Servants" could be said to be the product of imitating the remnants of Servants, but the Japanese monsters... were close to Gaia, natural spirits similar to the tentacles of the planet, right?
Why did they appear here? Emiya wondered if they were connected to the inner side of the planet, but these monsters, like the Shadow Servants, had an indelible black aura on their bodies, and they didn't look like genuine goods.

"Roar--!"

The roars of a large group of monsters exploded in my ears, shaking the air.

The Crow Tengu flying in the sky held a round fan in his hand, waving out sharp wind blades, tearing the air with a piercing scream; the hissing sickle-weasel rushed over, its body as fast as lightning, its sharp claws flashing with cold light.

The half-human, half-spider Nettle spewed out poisonous gas, and the smoke spread with a disgusting stench; and then there was Jian Yue Rudao, whose huge body as big as a mountain pressed down on them, and every step made the ground tremble, as if it was going to crush everything.

All in all, there were over a hundred monsters approaching this street alone, and according to Emiya's observation from a distance, more monsters were gathering in the distance, forming a black mass that was surging like a tide.

"Noble Phantasm released! Six Paths and Five Wheels, Kurikara Celestial Phenomenon!"

With both hands tightly grasping the long sword, Emiya's eyes were like torches, and he shouted loudly, "Namo, Tenmangu Daijizaitian Shen——Niyogurigara, Xiao Tianchong——!"

The monsters suddenly froze, as if they felt some kind of invisible fear, as if the person standing in front of them was no longer a tiny human that could be eaten in one bite, but a towering, majestic statue of Acala. The statue had four arms outstretched, holding the huge mountain-splitting sword "Kurigara", and was surrounded by blazing flames.

Paraiso and Aso Makoto were standing on the rooftop far behind and were shocked to see this scene. Eri, who was far away, put down her knife and seemed to be about to giggle at their reactions. She lacked common sense and thought that Emiya had always been very powerful, so this level was natural.

The high school girl stared blankly at the statue that was taller than the building, "Is this... summoning the Lord God?"

She even began to wonder if she should face the statue right now, worship it, and make a wish...

"My lord, that is not the manifestation of the real God," Paraiso explained in a low voice, "I felt an extremely strong 'sword force'! It was the condensation of sword pressure that far exceeds my level of swordsmanship!"

"Sword power?" Aso finally understood that this was the statue of Mingwang, but was confused again after hearing what Paraiso said.

"Yes, it's just sword power," Paraiso said in a shocked tone, his eyes fixed on the giant statue of Mingwang.

"In my humble opinion, the posture and temperament of the Acala are more like a fabricated fantasy concept. The only real thing is the sword of Kuligara in the Acala's hand. But the terrifying thing is that this is the supreme talent of turning fantasy into reality! This is a skill that only exists in legends!"

Aso Makoto: "???"

Paraiso's words made this ordinary high school student confused, and the monsters who faced the Nioh sword would definitely not agree with him.

In their eyes, what was scary was not the mysterious aura or some other concept of Nioh's majesty without anger, but the huge mountain-splitting sword "Kurigara" in his hand. Nioh spread his four arms, with one of the mountain-splitting swords raised high, with a fierce sword intent wrapped around the blade, as if it was going to split the sky and the earth apart.

As Emiya swung the sword, it tore through the strong wind, forming a mountain of swords that pressed down. Compared with it, Yue Rudao's tall body was just a small mound.

boom--!
The street surface was crushed into mud. The first sword fell, and the street surface was crushed into mud, as if it was hit by a giant hammer, and it collapsed instantly. Half of the attacking ghosts were killed instantly by this sword, and their limbs and arms flew everywhere, and then began to turn into flying debris.

boom--!
The second sword swept across the sky, killing many flying monsters such as Crow Tengu and Windlass Head. Their bodies exploded in the air.

The third and fourth sword strikes were like the sky and the earth falling into a blender, the land and air being crushed and shattered repeatedly. The Mingwang giant sword was invincible, and the thousand-meter-long street and the surrounding buildings in front were completely destroyed by Kuligara in a ferocious manner.

"Go ahead, Jianhong, draw your sword!"

Emiya's voice exploded like thunder, and Acala, formed by the sword force, finally left the stage. However, He did not disappear directly. Instead, He turned into a huge blazing white light that shot straight into the sky.

"Isena, the great celestial phenomenon—!"

Emiya stood in the middle of the street, his hands clenched, and as he moved, the white light suddenly condensed and turned into a huge white sword. Emiya shouted loudly, swung his arm violently, and the huge white sword that reached the sky fell with a bang.

Wherever the sword passed, the air was rapidly pushed away, swirling and dancing, making a sharp explosion. The ground shook violently under the pressure of the giant sword, and then cracked fragilely, forming a bottomless, narrow abyss that stretched for several kilometers.

The black tide that was about to gather in the distance was crushed like an ant under this last sword, and turned into mud and dust.
