Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 260 Captain of the Tenth Division, please pay your respects.

After saying that, Zang Yan lowered his body.

His body rapidly disintegrated in the shadows, transforming into thousands of buzzing, winged Markerbugs.

This black cloud of insects, like a turbid whirlwind, ignored everyone's attempts to stop it and rushed straight towards the back of the main hall of Ryudong Temple, the entrance to the underground cavern.

"That old geezer... he's so stubborn!"

Emiya Kiritsugu gritted his teeth and tried to take a step to catch up.

But as soon as he moved, the intense pain caused his knees to buckle, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

His previous life-or-death battle with Kirei Kotomine had exhausted too much of his physical strength and magical power, and the Holy Grail's malicious corruption had further aggravated his injuries.

"Damn it... why did it have to happen at this time..."

""

Kiritsugu clutched his still-weak arm, his eyes filled with resentment.

If no one stops Zang Yan, that old monster who has gone completely mad in his pursuit of immortality will surely set up defensive formations below to prevent disintegration.

In that case, Fuyuki City would still be doomed to destruction.

"I'll go."

""

Tokiomi Tohsaka straightened his somewhat disheveled clothes and gently tapped the ground with his ruby ​​cane.

"It all started with the three of us, so... it's my turn to clean house!"

However, although the words were spoken with great certainty...

However, Matou Ryogen is not an ordinary magician; he is an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years, and he is not that confident.

"One person isn't enough." Kiritsugu painfully touched his bones, checking how much more he could move. "You're the key to dismantling the Holy Grail Magic. If you expend too much power, it'll be troublesome."

"Then what do you want me to do? Are you suggesting I let you go with that girl who's already exhausted?"

Tokiomi pointed to Sumire Kamado, who had just woken up from a nightmare and was holding a broken sword.

At this critical moment.

Click.

A crisp cracking sound came from beside the stove door.

Everyone instinctively turned around.

The berserker who had been unconscious and carelessly placed next to Violet by Asuka suddenly stood up, swaying unsteadily.

His shihaka armor was tattered, and his exposed skin was covered with wounds of all sizes, marks left by the Gate of Babylon that had pierced through him.

However, when they were still allies, Zang Yan had done his best to treat him.

Now, thanks to its magical self-repair, it has improved considerably.

And those eyes.

Those eyes, once filled with madness and slaughter, have now returned to a clear black.

Although he looked very weak, he still had the eyes of a rational being.

"Ugh... my head hurts so much..."

"Shiba Kaien pressed his temples and let out a hoarse cry of pain."

His memory was still stuck on that night when, as the captain of the 10th Division, he led his team to Fuyuki City in the present world to investigate abnormal spiritual pressure.

First, countless Hollows swarmed up to fight him, then came darkness, endless darkness.

In the darkness, it seemed as if a voice was constantly cursing and roaring, relentlessly suppressing him and making it impossible for him to break free from the darkness.

Until just now.

A blazing and domineering flame burned away the lingering dark aura.

"here it is..

'

Haiyan looked up and saw the hole above her head, filled with flowing black mud, the surrounding temple in disarray, and the strangers with their various expressions.

Finally, his gaze fell upon the figure in front of him, whose back was turned and who held a long, golden-red sword.

..grim Reaper?"

Haiyan was stunned.

Although these people all seemed a bit off, he wouldn't mistake that person's aura.

It is the spiritual pressure belonging to the Grim Reaper.

And... is he a captain-level officer? Which squad is he from?

"What exactly is this...?"

Haiyan instinctively wanted to ask, but the movement aggravated her wounds, causing her to wince in pain: "What happened? I remember I was..."

'

"No time to explain, big guy."

The bird interrupted him, pointing to the entrance leading underground and then to the black hole in the sky that could collapse at any moment.

"Simply put, the world is about to end."

"The hole in the sky is about to explode, and there's an old pervert underground who wants to drag everyone down with him."

"Although I don't know how you got involved, it seems that you are our only spare combat force now."

""

Haiyan was confused at first, but he soon gleaned some information from the depths of his gradually clearing mind.

That was at the beginning of the war, when the Heaven's Cup instilled in him the content of the Holy Grail War.

He was somewhat incredulous as he processed everything in his mind, and then slowly came to understand the situation of the people in front of him.

"The Holy Grail...this is truly..."

""

Haiyan sensed the suffocating malice in the air and the resolute determination in the eyes of those around her, as if they were ready to die.

Although he didn't understand the cause and effect, there was one thing he was very clear about.

If nothing is done, everything here, including himself, will be ruined.

Haiyan stretched her stiff neck, and her bones made a cracking sound.

He glanced at the man in the red suit who looked like an aristocrat.

"Hey, you elegant gentleman over there."

Haiyan grinned, revealing her signature set of white teeth.

Although his face was still covered in blood, his smile was full of reassuring sunshine and boldness.

"Although I don't know who you are, it looks like we'll be partners."

"Don't let my battered and tattered appearance fool you, I still have the strength to beat someone up! Leave that bastard underground to us."

Tokiomi was stunned for a moment, looking at the man in front of him who was clearly covered in wounds but still had an imposing aura.

Is this still the same berserker?

He sensed a pure and passionate spirit in the other person, a completely different temperament from the mad dog he had encountered before.

But this is undoubtedly good news.

"...It would be my honor." Tokiomi bowed slightly, performing a standard magician's greeting: "Head of the Tohsaka family, Tokiomi Tohsaka, nice to meet you."

"Captain of the 10th Division, Shiba Kaien!"

Kaien could only pick up a golden spear that had fallen to the ground during the battle and weigh it in his hand.

Although it's not very convenient, it's still usable.

"Hey! You blond guy over there! Can I borrow your weapon for a bit?" He waved at Gilgamesh, the weapon's owner, who looked displeased.

"Hmph...whatever." The King of Heroes didn't care about lending out this little treasure, after all, his treasury was vast.

Haiyan walked up to Feiniao and gave this mysterious Grim Reaper a deep look.

"I don't know who you are or why you're here with me."

'

Haiyan's voice lowered: "I can feel it, you saved me, thank you!"

"Don't die, Captain Haiyan."

"We'll go back to Soul Society together."

Although the bird's voice was calm, it still warmed the heart of the petrel, who was in excruciating pain.

When the fellow sees the fellow, tears well up.

"...Ah, it's a deal."

Haiyan laughed heartily.

Without further hesitation, he turned to Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Let's go, elegant old man! Let's go meet that old monster you've been talking about, the one underground!"

"Stay close to me, the ground is riddled with traps designed to target magicians."

Tokiomi gave Rin one last look: "Rin! Go home quickly! Take your mother and Sakura with you, and leave Fuyuki City!"

"If I don't contact you, don't come back no matter what happens!"

Leaving these last words, he resolutely rushed into the dark and deep underground passage with Haiyan.
