Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 441 Possible Cooperation

"What a rude welcome," Machiri said with a hint of sarcasm.

With his arms crossed, Zhicheng calmly swept his gaze over the executors who looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

"Wind Blade!"

"The Serpent of Flames!"

Seeing that the intruders did not answer, the executors immediately launched a deadly attack.

A violent burst of magic erupted instantly, and howling winds and scorching flames intertwined to form a net of death, overwhelming the two of them.

But those released magic spells, whether wind blades or fire serpents...

Three feet away from Mole City, it suddenly felt like hitting an invisible wall.

They lingered and twisted in mid-air, eventually dissipating into nothingness as the most primordial ether particles.

"How is that possible?!"

The lead executor was shocked; he hadn't even sensed that the other party had used any counter magic.

"Is this what you call magic? It's nothing special," Mole City said to Machiri, turning his head to the side.

As he finished speaking, the executors were horrified to find that the floor beneath their feet, the walls beside them, and even the ceiling above their heads had suddenly come to life!

The hard stone bricks transformed into countless pale faces without features, and hundreds of arms made of rock and steel extended from the walls.

These faces and arms were bound with hand gestures they couldn't understand, chanting a song they couldn't comprehend: "Multiple Azure Fire Falls."

Boom! Boom! Boom!

"Aaaaaah!"

"What kind of magic trick is this?!"

Before the executors could react, they were engulfed by the azure flames that came from all directions, leaving the entire first floor of the clock tower in ruins.

In the blink of an eye, this elite squad of executors was wiped out.

Machiri laughed and clapped her hands: "It's a truly divine Bankai. No matter how many times I see it, it's always elegant."

"Let's go," Shiro Sou replied calmly.

The two continued deeper into the area and eventually stopped at the front desk, where they looked at the terrified receptionist.

"Please inform him that I wish to see Professor Kenneth," Machiri said with a smile.

"Ken...Kenneth?" the receptionist stammered. "Professor Kenneth passed away a long time ago." "Oh? That's a pity... I was hoping to see an old friend. Who's in charge of his classroom now?"

Subsequently, Weber's student, Flat, received a call from the front desk and led the two to Weber's office.

To be honest, when Weber saw clearly who was standing in the doorway, he was so startled he almost jumped off his chair.

"It really is you!" he exclaimed, feeling a sudden dizziness.

Machiri Zorgen, or rather, the long-dead Matou Reiken...

After the Holy Grail War ended, through his relationship with Kenneth and the Tohsaka family, he gradually learned a lot about the secrets behind this magical experiment.

Although the handsome man in front of me looks nothing like that old man, we are indeed the same person.

Meanwhile, on the sofa in the reception area, Reines El-Melloi Archizorti, who had been summoned by Waver to help, also unleashed her heterochromatic magic eyes.

In her magical vision, the two men who walked in were neither magicians nor even human.

The unknown power emanating from them... was as vast as an abyss, incredibly oppressive, and far more terrifying than any high-ranking Dead Apostle she had ever seen!

"Long time no see. You are now the monarch of the Clock Tower."

Machiri walked to the desk without any hesitation, pulled out a chair, sat down, and crossed her legs.

He was so elegant that it was as if he were the owner of the office.

"It seems you've remembered who I am."

"How could you still be alive? That night, you clearly..." Weber's voice was hoarse.

"Exiled by that old man Gemstone's second spell?" Machiri picked up where he left off, letting out a pleasant laugh. "That's right, I did indeed experience death and nothingness."

"But as the saying goes, every cloud has a silver lining... In another dimension, I achieved true evolution."

""

"But let's end our reminiscing here." Machiri's smile faded, and she looked directly at Weber.

"The young El-Melloi II, though he doesn't look like it, I'm not here to cause trouble today... I'm here to discuss cooperation."

"Cooperation?" Weber forced himself to calm down.

The opponent survived the second method... and just swaggered through the first layer of defense to stand before me...

What does this monster, who is completely beyond the common sense of magic, want to cooperate with me on?

He glanced at Reines beside him, who was equally wary, and took a deep breath: "What do you want to do?"

"I need information," said Mochishiro Sou, who had been standing at the door.

"Information about the creatures known as dragons on this land, the barrier mechanism between the Western Frontier Bureau and Outer London, and the core theories of what you call magic."

"No, what are you talking about?"

Reines, who had been wary of the two, couldn't help but speak up: "I can understand magic and all that, but what's a dragon? What's the Western Bureau? I don't understand what you're talking about at all!"

"Besides, magical theory is the core of every classroom; how could we possibly just teach it to monsters of unknown origin like you!"

I'm not asking you anything.

Shiro also turned his head and glanced at Reines.

With just that one glance, Reines was struck dumb.

She felt as if the magic circuits within her body had stopped functioning, and a deep sense of fear enveloped her heart.

"Well, Lady Mochi, please don't be angry." Machiri chuckled, trying to smooth things over and ease the tense atmosphere. "After all, they are just magicians. It's normal that they don't know what we're looking for. Calm down."

Then he looked at Weber and said, "You can pretend you didn't hear what I said before. All we want from you right now is knowledge of the Clock Tower."

"Whether it's foundational theory or any other cutting-edge research, Lord Aizen will be very happy."

Upon hearing the unfamiliar name Aizen, Waver's brows furrowed even deeper.

He took a deep drag of his cigar, forcing himself to remain calm as he faced the two men before him: "...If it's a collaboration, what can you offer the Clock Tower?"

"I have brought you the answer that you need most right now."

Machiri leaned forward slightly and tapped the table lightly with one finger.

"I had already heard about it on my way here today."

"The recent vampire murders in London must have given your Clock Tower and the Church a real headache, right? The methods are brutal yet leave no trace... Are you starting to suspect that some unknown ancient vampire species has awakened?"

Weber's pupils contracted, and he asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what that thing is?"

"I don't know," Machiri shook her head.

Before Weber could react, he pointed with his thumb at Mochishiro Souya behind him.

But he knew.
