Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 209 The Wind Is Hot, Time to Run

"Incredibly... he severely injured Kenneth with a single blow."

As he watched the footage sent by the assassin, Tokiomi tapped the inside of his wine glass repeatedly with his fingers.

"Although that guy is arrogant, his understanding of alchemy and spirit summoning is indeed at the top level in the magic world."

Even during the battle just now, Kenneth was distracted by Sora's injuries and didn't fully unleash his magical abilities...

But he was one of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower.

The top-tier Mystic Code, Moon Spirit Elixir, was utterly vulnerable to the Avenger's slash, far exceeding Tokiomi's expectations.

Tokiomi closed his eyes, and the black patterns on the flying bird and the sudden burst of magical energy appeared in his mind.

As a magician, he instinctively felt uneasy.

If that attack had landed on him... he wasn't confident he could have blocked it.

"Is this also an ability of the Avenger class?" Tokiomi analyzed in a low voice.

It's not enough to merely cause cognitive pollution in other Servants; it can even transform this malice and resentment into its own fuel...

If a way to counter this cannot be found, this Servant named Asuka could very well become the greatest threat to him and the King of Heroes...

We can't delay any longer.

"Kirei, contact your father for me," Tokiomi said to the communication magic circle. "I need to see him now."

He stood up, put on the deep red suit, and decided to go see Kotomine Risei that very night.

Although the Tohsaka family has a rich collection of magic books, the church, which acts as the overseer, probably has more detailed records of specific information about the Avengers.

As his ally, perhaps we can start by getting to Father Kotomine Risei and uncover some hidden information.

residential area.

The aftershocks of the battle continue.

Although Asuka's slash accurately struck Kenneth, the shockwave from the battle still affected the surrounding residential areas.

On the street, the walls of several houses had collapsed, the road was cracked with gaps, the lampposts were bent and deformed, and glass shards were scattered all over the ground.

Several cars parked on the roadside were even overturned, and sirens blared shrilly in the night air.

The faint sounds of screams and footsteps from all directions could be heard. Some people leaned out of their windows, frantically dialing numbers, trying to figure out what was happening.

"Cough...cough cough..." Sumire Kamado leaned against a lamppost, coughing uncontrollably.

Because she had just overdrawn too much magic power to supply the bird, and was also affected by the vengeful spirit, her face was as pale as a sheet of paper.

The red birthmark on his forehead was faintly burning hot, like a piece of red-hot charcoal.

"Xiao Jin, hang in there!"

Qingli could only hold her daughter's shoulder and take out an ice pack from the first-aid kit at home to cool down Jin's forehead.

"You two, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, it's just that Sumire has a fever." Haru's voice trembled, her eyes filled with worry.

Asuka silently watched the somewhat disoriented little girl, a wave of worry washing over her.

Compared to physical pain, this kind of damage to the root cause is the most difficult to treat.

"We can't stay here," he said, assessing the situation. "We don't know if any other Servants will find this place again, so we need to find a safe place to hide for a while."

The faint sound of fire truck sirens could be heard in the distance.

The commotion tonight was enormous; half a street of asphalt was overturned, and the terrifying destructive power could not help but attract the attention of the relevant authorities.

As the black patterns on the blade gradually faded, Asuka retrieved the raccoon back into her body.

"Let's go to my duty room." Haru's voice was firm, like that of a mother: "There are empty rooms at the company; we should be able to stay here for the night without being disturbed."

She turned to look at Asuka: "Mr. Asuka, could you... become transparent? That way, we won't be easily discovered, and we can walk together."

The bird hummed in agreement, then transformed into a wisp of black mist and floated beside Violet.

"Let's go, I'll protect you."

The group decided to leave before the neighbors began to suspect them.

Driving that somewhat dilapidated light truck, Haruhi, with her daughter and the invisible bird in tow, quickly left the residential area.

The car drove through the night streets of Fuyuki City, with flashing neon lights and a few scattered pedestrians outside the window.

As Haru drove, she reassured Sumire through the rearview mirror, "Don't worry, Sumire, the company area is very safe. I usually stay there when I'm on night shift."

"When it gets light, we'll figure out another place to stay. Mom will protect you, just like... when Dad was alive."

Recalling the days when her deceased husband was still alive brought a hint of sadness to her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by the fortitude of a mother.

The bonds between family members are the strongest strength of the Kamado family.

Jin leaned back in her seat and nodded drowsily.

The Command Seals on the back of her hand were still slightly warm, a reminder of the cruelty of this war.

"Mom... thank you, and Mr. Asuka too..."

"It's my duty, don't be shy." Asuka felt the magic power within Kamado Sumire gradually stabilizing, and her worries lessened somewhat: "Remember to save the Complete Collection - Normal Mode, it will help your body recover."

"ah...

"6

The car fell silent for a moment, with only the low rumble of the engine and the whistling of the night wind.

A few minutes later, when the car reached a relatively secluded side road, Qingli suddenly slowed down.

A figure was standing unsteadily by the roadside, seemingly waiting for them.

He was a middle-aged man, wearing a large overcoat, with a pale face and his forehead covered in cold sweat.

He looked like he hadn't slept well for days, utterly exhausted, and one side of his face looked like it had been corroded by some kind of strong acid, showing a dark purple depression.

The bird instantly became alert.

He could sense the magical fluctuations within the other person's body, which carried an unsettling sense of distortion.

"Watch out, a magician is approaching."

Upon hearing this, Haruhi sat bolt upright, gripping the steering wheel tightly: "Hold on tight, if anything's wrong, I'm going to drive straight there!"

Her right eye glowed faintly, ready to use the power of the Demon Eye at any moment.

The man raised his head and forced a pale smile at Haru.

"Please wait a moment... I am Matou Kariya, I mean no harm." He slowly approached and raised his hands.

Matou Kariya? What does it mean to introduce oneself?

Asuka doesn't recognize this person. Could it be someone Haruhi knows?

He looked at Haruto and found that she was just as confused.

"Who are you? What do you want by blocking the road so late at night?" Haru asked, rolling down her car window and keeping her distance.

Yan Ye was panting heavily, seemingly unable to even stand: "I...I didn't come here to cause trouble..."

'

His body trembled slightly, and a faint wriggling sound could be heard from under his trench coat.

The torment from the marking worms inside his body made every breath painful: "Just now... the battle in the residential area, it was you guys, wasn't it..."

'

"I...I had the berserker carry me all the way...I had to chase after him all the way to get ahead of you..."

As he spoke, a familiar figure appeared behind Matou Kariya.

The Grim Reaper with the bone mask.
