Crossover Anime: I Became Invincible Starting as an Ajin

"My disciple..."

Orange felt that perhaps the pressure she had put on Wang Bai over the past six months had been too great, causing him to lose his mind.

"Even though the Matou family went bankrupt, they still have a lot of wealth. Do they really have to summon people in such a tiny place?"

Wang Bai shook his head, responding with an all-knowing look in his eyes:

"You don't understand, the warehouse is a treasure trove! Countless legends have begun their journeys here!"

Orange covered her forehead. This disciple was good in every way, except that sometimes the strange knowledge in his head was something even magicians couldn't understand.

"Weren't you born as a Heroic Spirit? Why are you trying to summon another Heroic Spirit?"

Is that even a question?

What if we could summon a Saber King?

Wang Bai spent a lot of money on Saber King in the past. Although his enthusiasm has faded over time, his feelings for him remain.

"My situation is special. Strictly speaking, I'm not a Heroic Spirit; I was summoned in a physical body. Who knows why I'm being treated as an evil spirit?"

Wang Bai hadn't figured this out either, and guessed it was the work of certain people with powerful connections.

"Matou Kariya, you can start first."

Kariya Matou nodded, stepped forward, hesitated for a moment, and then voiced his doubts:

"Is this prayer for the invocation ritual really effective? It seems a bit unreliable to me."

"You're so nosy! Didn't you see that my master didn't say anything?"

Anyway, there was no intention to let Matou Kariya contribute to this Holy Grail War; it was simply to reserve a spot so as not to have to run around looking for someone else.

Chengzi rolled her eyes at Wang Bai. The reason she acquiesced was to see if such a ridiculous line would actually work.

Seeing that both people in charge had agreed, Matou Kariya had no choice but to announce it to the magic circle.

"Hiring!"

"Those who are willing will sign an employment contract."

"Prefer to focus on combat aspects as much as possible."

The year-end bonus is the Holy Grail.

"If anyone is willing and desires the Holy Grail, respond to me."

"I'm releasing a statement here."

"I did a good deed."

"They also do bad things."

"They're hiring short-term workers for seven days, and they can give you three orders."

"Those idle people on that Throne of Heroes?"

"We have no restrictions on the number of applicants; anyone can sign up."

Anyone in the room with even a little knowledge of magic couldn't hold back their excitement.

Can this recruitment gadget—summoning prayers—truly bring down heroic spirits to the mortal realm?

As everyone wondered what was happening, the magic circle emitted bursts of red light.

A Heroic Spirit actually accepted the summons?!

After the red light disappeared.

A towering figure, over two meters tall, filled the entire warehouse with its massive body.

A horse's head, a human body in the middle, and a horse's body with reddish-brown hair.

"A legendary general and warrior who prided himself on his unparalleled martial prowess and fought to the last moment of his life..."

...I am Lu Bu, and I am now one with my treasure horse Red Hare. We are practically one man and horse!

Even surpassing the centaurs of ancient Greek mythology, man, horse, armor, and weapon are completely fused into one, becoming the strongest centaur in the world! In other words, I am Lu Bu. "Neigh!"

Red Hare neighed, and the horse, or rather its rider, was unusually excited.

"So, the Fantasy Carnival is starting again? I'm definitely going to participate enthusiastically!"

His flamboyant self-introduction made him seem like a popular online contestant.

Upon seeing the other person's appearance, Wang Bai recognized him as Lu Bu, a three-star heroic spirit, Red Hare, whose image was conjured by human imagination.

Red Hare is a three-star hero.

Essentially, it is an imaginary Servant formed by combining Lu Bu's deeds with the Noble Phantasm Red Hare.

Wang Bai believed that the Red Hare was not the real Lü Bu, but rather someone who thought he was Lü Bu.

However, from the perspective that heroes are recorded in the Hall of Heroes through their own deeds, it is not wrong for Red Hare to consider itself to be Lü Bu.

How should I put it? This Heroic Spirit is somewhere in between.

However, there is a Noble Phantasm called "False War God's Five Weapons," which has the effect of ignoring defense in an area of ​​effect, and it looks pretty good.

"Huh? Why is it so deserted around here, and why don't I recognize many of the people around me?"

Who are you?

Red Hare looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings and the crowded environment, and asked in confusion.

Everyone hurriedly came out of the warehouse and marveled at the summoned heroic spirit.

Sakura Matou: "Are there really any other Heroic Spirits like this?"

Shinji Matou: "Just now, he seemed to be saying that he was Lu Bu? The incomparably brave Lu Bu?"

Aozaki Touko's research instincts as a magician kicked in: "Where are the vocal organs of this kind of Heroic Spirit? How can a horse's head produce a human voice? Can we dissect it and take a look?"

Seeing that the topic was getting more and more outrageous, Wang Bai quickly called a halt and asked everyone to quiet down.

Based on the speech given by Red Hare after it was summoned, Wang Bai could roughly guess where it had been summoned from.

It was probably summoned from some exceptionally joyful fantasy carnival.

This Red Hare has participated in several Fantasy Carnivals.

Wang Bai patted Red Hare's body; to be honest, it felt really good.

Seeing that Red Hare had turned its gaze towards him, it said, "I think the Holy Grail has told you all the rules of this Holy Grail War, and you should be able to understand them from your mind."

Red Hare said nonchalantly, "We've never cared about this kind of thing during our carnival competitions... Hmm?"

As he spoke, Red Hare paused: "Something's not right about this Holy Grail War. Wait, is this the real Holy Grail War? Or just a side event at the Carnival?"

Red Hare finally realized the environment he was in.

"Great! I never thought I'd have the chance to participate in the real Holy Grail War. Watch me make my mark and dominate the battlefield this time."

As he spoke, a weapon, the Fangtian Halberd, materialized in his hand, which he swung around wildly.

It seems that Red Hare is really happy.

Wang Bai turned his head to look at Matou Kariya.

"Even if this Servant is only three stars, it is still a rare treasure. You know, a certain human Chaos Evil Gudako burned all the low-star Servants, leaving only this one. This shows how much she loved it."

Not understanding what Wang Bai was saying, Matou Kariya nodded in agreement: "I understand, I will definitely make good use of him to bring us victory!"

Snapped--

Matou Kariya received a direct chop to the head from Wang Bai: "You're overthinking it. What I meant was that this guy is an old man, so take good care of him. Besides, he came from Carnival Phantasm, so be careful Gudako doesn't come knocking on your door."

"Also, most of the Heroic Spirits are people with achievements to their name. Don't look at them from the perspective of a magician. You should show these heroes respect, understand?"

"Respecting them is respecting yourself."

Those who disrespect the spirits of heroes never have a good ending.
