Crossover Anime: I Became Invincible Starting as an Ajin

Artoria sighed, her voice filled with a heavy emotion.

The brief respite brought by the victory vanished instantly.

Instead, they face even heavier pressure.

Without giving her any more time to think, a new black phantom appeared, carrying a clear and chilling killing intent.

Like a moth drawn to a flame, it met Artoria's blade head-on.

There was no communication, no warnings, only the most primal desire to attack, and even a hint of pleasure.

"drink!"

Artoria took a deep breath, a strange intuition stirring within her.

The black phantom in front of me is definitely not the same person as the one from before.

No, it's definitely not the same person.

The blade in his hand sliced ​​off the arm of the charging black phantom.

This black phantom had no sense of defense whatsoever; it was purely offensive, like a suicide squad.

Wait, assassins!?

Artoria subconsciously looked at the severed arm left behind by the black phantom.

Several identical runes shimmered with magical light.

In an instant, a violent explosion unfolded before Artoria's eyes, and terrifying flames, carrying an incinerating heat, engulfed Artoria's body.

"Wind King Barrier!"

Amidst the raging flames, a terrifying tornado forcefully broke through, piercing the fire and dissipating the heat.

Artoria uttered the name of the Noble Phantasm and unleashed its full power.

But this also revealed the true form of the sword in hand, making it instantly recognizable to anyone from its ornate blade.

The second sword bestowed upon the Knight King by the Lady of the Lake.

The sword in the lake, the king's sword, the sword of vowed victory.

At this moment, the king, who was holding the sword, was panting heavily. Even though his stance as a swordsman was no longer perfect, his body trembled with each breath.

Prolonged battles and the mana drain from unleashing Noble Phantasms.

Even the King of Knights was somewhat exhausted at this moment.

The Black Phantom, however, would not give her a chance to catch her breath, and instead rushed towards Artoria at an even faster speed.

Even if the sharp claws on her hand didn't try to counter the sharpness of Excalibur, they instead aimed directly at Artoria's vitals from a tricky angle.

When Excalibur cuts through Black Spectre's body with Artoria's swordsmanship, Artoria must instantly move away from where she was standing.

The remnant of this familiar's body was likely intentionally preserved to serve as a bomb, delivering a fatal blow to the enemy.

Having learned her lesson the hard way, Artoria would never repeat the same mistake.

However, Artoria's attack methods were completely devoid of any effective countermeasures against such suicide attacks.

If it were an Archer-class Servant, it would probably be able to eliminate the opponent directly from a distance.

Despite repeated clashes, Black Phantom's two arms were still severed by Artoria.

Artoria breathed a sigh of relief; it was finally coming to an end.

With such a powerful familiar, I suppose that Caster's Heroic Spirit is probably gone too.

Let's finish this with the final blow.

However, the attack we were waiting for never came.

The black ghost stood there blankly, looking around as if searching for something.

Artoria's hair stood on end.

The black phantom no longer attacked Artoria, but instead charged towards Einstein, who was lying on the ground.

Damn it!

Artoria could see the runes emanating from the other person's body.

This familiar wants to sacrifice itself in a self-destruction.

Without hesitation.

Artoria raised the sword in the lake high.

The remaining magic power in her body rose with the air, tearing her battle skirt into fluttering banners.

The sword suddenly hummed and rose higher, and a torrent of gold surged out from the blade, condensing into a golden torrent that stretched across the heavens and the earth.

Artoria stood at the center of the storm of light.

"Ex—calibur!!!"

The Imaginary Tree seed, which had always served as a backdrop, sensed the surging magic and its nature.

The absorption of the Holy Grail became even more brutal and rapid, causing Einstein, who had been in a coma, to be jolted awake by excruciating pain.

The next second, the platinum-gold space disappeared, and everyone returned to reality.

Then came the golden torrent that stretched across the heavens and the earth.

The residual power of the Noble Phantasm slowly dissipated, leaving a terrifying scorch mark in the center of the battlefield.

The black phantom that attacked Einstein previously has vanished into nothingness under the release of this terrifying Noble Phantasm.

Artoria then relaxed, her body exhausted, and she knelt on the ground.

The magic power in his body was almost completely depleted.

Even the Master's side has had a large amount of magic power drawn from them.

However, what made Artoria despair was—

A black ghost, exactly the same as the one in front of me, appeared once again.

"Damn it, how many of these familiars are there?!"

Even Artoria, now enraged, forced herself to use the last of her strength.

Holding his sword in both hands, he stood up and blocked Einstein's path.

Artoria adjusted her breathing, watching the black phantom warily, filled with regret for not being able to win the Holy Grail War, and prepared to fight to the death.

"Saber".

A weak voice came from behind; Einstein had already woken up.

"We've already made contact with Kiritsugu. Get ready."

Artoria immediately realized what Einstein was doing.

The next second, a powerful surge of magic erupted from Artoria.

With a flash of light, the two disappeared from their spot.

Seeing that the enemy had disappeared, the nearby black phantoms emerged one after another, sighed with regret, and slowly dissipated into the air.

Wang Bai naturally sensed the state of his own black phantom and the information transmitted from the last black phantom.

"Is it another Command Spell?"

"While it's good to deplete the opponent's precious Command Spells, it's really a shame that our greatest achievement has escaped twice in a row."

Wang Bai decided that he had to find a way to counter the Command Spell teleportation.

If the ability to move through space cannot be restricted, the battle will never be truly over.

A new research topic quickly took shape in his mind:

He needs a powerful set of confinement runes that can stabilize confined space, seal teleportation channels, and bind specific targets!

"Space...anchored..."

"Restriction...Blockade..."

"A cage...constructed..."

Just as Wang Bai was pondering, Red Hare descended from the sky.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang Bai, the Master of that Heroic Spirit escaped."

"The enemy planted a bunch of bombs, and a powerful Heroic Spirit suddenly appeared, so we couldn't capture them."

Wang Bai nodded; this result was not unexpected.

Aside from having greater stamina than Artoria, Red Hare is inferior in every other aspect.

Even if it incorporates Lu Bu's fantasies, Red Hare is ultimately not Lu Bu and cannot suppress him in terms of skill.

Moreover, there were two magicians specializing in combat, Emiya Kiritsugu and Einstein, standing nearby.
