Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 207 Desperate Body and Death

The bird no longer held back, pushing its speed to the limit.

"Thunderbolt Flash: Shadow Step!!"

A deafening clap of thunder exploded in the air.

The speed of this strike surpassed all previous limits.

Even Diarmuid, a Heroic Spirit, showed a hint of shock at this moment.

He instinctively raised his two pistols, crossed them in front of his chest, in defense.

boom-!!

He was violently thrown into the air until he crashed through a wall next to the street and was buried in the rubble before finally coming to a stop.

"Cough... What a heavy blow..."

Diarmuid pushed away the bricks covering him, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.

But he did not collapse because of this.

With an A+ level agility stat and extremely high combat intuition, even though he couldn't fully see the bird's movements at the last moment, his instincts still led him to adopt the most correct defensive stance.

In addition, as a Heroic Spirit, one can recover from injuries simply by consuming the magic power within their body.

This injury is simply not enough to force him to leave the game.

"Your strength seems to be even greater than that of a swordsman. If there were no magic restrictions, I really wouldn't know how to deal with you."

"However... it seems your Master is about to give up?"

Diarmuid stood up and looked sharply at the bird.

He could sense that after that attack, the bird's aura weakened considerably.

Clearly, such a burst of power beyond the limit is a huge burden for a Master with insufficient magical energy.

The bird didn't speak; its hand holding the knife trembled slightly.

That's exactly what they said.

If the battle cannot be resolved quickly, Violet may actually go into shock due to magic depletion.

clang-!!

The two clashed again, but this time, things were clearly not going well.

Because of her concern for the situation of the monstrous veil, Asuka became hesitant in her actions, which gave Diarmuid more opportunities.

Every now and then, the yellow rose would tear open a crack in his body, leaving wounds that could not be healed.

Even though the bird was able to retaliate, the opponent was able to heal himself through magic, and the situation was getting worse.

"Give up the fight. I can speak to your master on your behalf and ask him to spare that girl."

As a knight, Diarmuid tries to give Asuka one last chance.

And just then...

"How shameful, Diarmuid."

A cold voice rang out, filled with undisguised rage.

Asuka and Diarmuid turned their heads at the same time.

A blond man was being carried by a cloud of silver fluid as he slowly floated over.

Kenneth Elmero Archibald.

He looked rather disheveled, covered in blood.

The blood wasn't his; it all came from his fiancée, Sora, whom he was holding.

Therefore, the anger burning in those eyes was more intense than ever before.

"My lord? What brings you here? The lady's injuries..." Diarmuid exclaimed in surprise.

"Shut up!"

Kenneth glared at him fiercely: "I sent you to kill a weak magician, a Servant of your Master, and you've taken this long?! If I hadn't come in person, were you still going to be drinking and chatting with him?"

"No... I only just..."

"That's enough!"

Kenneth ignored Diarmuid and turned his hateful gaze toward the bird.

"Finally found you...you despicable scoundrel!"

The moment Asuka saw Kenneth, although she didn't understand how she had offended him, she realized that things were not going to end well today.

The man's eyes were filled with a determination to fight to the death.

"Moon Spirit Marrow Liquid!"

With Kenneth's roar, the silvery liquid Moon Spirit Essence that was supporting him instantly boiled.

It rapidly split and transformed in mid-air, turning into hundreds of incredibly sharp mercury spears, densely packed and suspended in mid-air, like the Sword of Damocles aimed at the birds.

"As a magician specializing in color, I'll show you the consequences of angering me!"

Kenneth extended his long, bony fingers and swung them down sharply.

"cut!!"

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Hundreds of mercury spears rained down like a storm!

This is not just a physical attack.

Enraged Kenneth infused each drop of mercury with a high density of magic and applied a dual enhancement of wind and fire attributes.

This caused each spear to turn crimson red due to high-speed friction during flight, like a real meteor shower!

"This is the magician's attack..."

Asuka gritted his teeth and had no choice but to parry with his sword.

Clang clang clang clang—!

The sounds of rapid, continuous impacts blended together.

The black blade light formed a barrier, shattering the incoming mercury spears one by one.

However, the most terrifying aspect of Moon Spirit Essence Liquid lies in its fluid properties.

The shattered mercury did not disappear, but quickly gathered at the bird's feet, attempting to entangle his feet or reform into spikes to launch an attack from a blind spot.

"It's not over yet!"

Kenneth grinned maliciously, and the magical artifact in his hand flashed with light once more.

"Boiling, my blood! (Fervor, mei sanguis)"

He not only manipulated the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid, but also began chanting offensive magic.

The ground began to shake, and countless sharp stalagmites rose from the ground, which, together with the mercury attack, blocked all the bird's escape routes.

"Mr. Asuka!!"

Kamado Haruto was the first to react, her right eye shining brightly.

The Demon Eye altered the structure of the material world, conjuring a barrier out of thin air that desperately blocked the stone pillars that were trying to encircle the flying bird.

But the peaceful residential area was also affected, with many houses being hit by rubble. The panicked civilians, not understanding what was happening, scattered and hid.

"hateful....

""

The bird felt the pressure increase.

He can handle physical attacks.

However, this all-round, three-dimensional attack, which combined magic bombardment and fluid control, put him, a country bumpkin who knew nothing about magic, in a very passive position.

To make matters worse, Diarmuid wasn't just a wooden figure who could only stare blankly.

Being reprimanded by his lord only spurred him to fight even harder.

"Sorry, Avengers!!"

Diarmuid flashed forward, and the Destroyer Rose in his hand pierced straight for Asuka's left rib!

Magic bombardment comes from the front, and a demonic spear is about to claim your life.

Desperate!

"Get out of here!!"

The bird roared, forced to overdraw on Violet's magic power, unleashing a powerful force.

boom!

Centered on him, a black and red shockwave suddenly exploded, shattering the mercury attack and forcing back Diarmuid's thrust.

However, due to this outburst, a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of Kamado Sumire's mouth.

Kenneth looked down at the disheveled girl behind him, a cruel glint in his eyes.

"For the sake of Sora's suffering, I will tear your soul out and burn it in the fire for a hundred years!"

The Moon Spirit Essence Liquid condensed once more.

This time, it transformed into a giant execution platform axe, hovering above the bird's head.

And in the shadows.

The assassin's clone, who had been observing the battle, was transmitting this scene in real time to Tokiomi Tohsaka and Kirei Kotomine.

"It seems the outcome is already decided."
