Crossover Anime: The King of Time? Actually, He's a Slacker!

the other side.

Matou Tsurugi collapsed to the ground, his withered body slowly turning to ash. Beside him, Cú Chulainn and Hassan of Cursed Arm had already disintegrated into tiny fragments of light, carried by the wind to the horizon, returning to the other side of the Throne of Heroes.

In the final moment before his consciousness sank into the abyss, he looked up at the two figures before him, his turbid pupils churning with indescribable, complex emotions. Those fragments, blurred by a century of obsession and long since rotted away in the depths of his memory, surged forth like a rising tide.

...So it turns out I once thought of being a champion of justice.

But after a hundred years of twists and turns, how did I end up looking like this ugly creature, neither human nor ghost?

The cold glint of the blade reflected his wrinkled, aged face. The next second, Matou Ryougen closed his eyes, and the last speck of dust dissipated in the wind, completely disappearing from this land.

"Thank you for your hard work, Saber." Mei Zhen looked to the side, her tone calm.

"You're welcome." The woman sheathed her long sword, a sharp smile playing on her lips.

"I enjoyed playing against worthy opponents."

"I might need your help again later," Mei Zhen said.

"I expected this trouble." She shrugged, and as she turned around, her clothes billowed in the wind, her posture elegant and unrestrained.

"After all, I am a Grand Spirit Origin being in this world, so I can't possibly find peace and quiet."

Mei Zhen sat on the jade throne, watching the figure disappear into the distance, without saying another word.

Now that the Holy Grail War is completely under control, it's time to strike hard.

The Holy Church: With the Archangel in charge, I will cleanse all heresy!

.........

"Are you going to Egypt?"

Amid the flow of students leaving school, Lin Shiye and Kujo Jotaro walked side by side on the path.

"My mother has health problems. The old man said it's a fateful showdown." Jotaro's voice was low, and the shadow cast by his hat brim obscured most of his expression.

"So I'm going to smash that vampire named Dio."

He didn't ask Lin Shiye if he wanted to come along, because this was a matter for the Joestar family, and he didn't want to involve others.

Lin Shiye really didn't want to go either. Dio was nothing to him; he'd rather tease Sukuna inside Itadori's body.

However, there's one person who might be very interested in fighting vampires.

What the heck: There are vampires too? Wow!

"Since it concerns Sister Holly, it certainly can't be delayed." Lin Shiye nodded seriously.

"Shall we leave now?"

Jotaro nodded, his fists hardening at the way this bastard addressed his mother.

"It's a pity I'll miss tomorrow's winter festival," Lin Shiye said, taking out a watch face and tossing it over.

"Although I think you're already invincible, I'll still give you this just in case."

Jotaro caught it steadily and looked down at it carefully.

"2016 Invincible Player"

"The sooner we finish, the better," Lin Shiye said, turning and walking towards the Emiya residence.

"You have half a month to come back."

How could it be so fast...?

Jotaro Kujo silently adjusted his hat, watching Lin Shiye's departing figure, and finally muttered something under his breath:

"Thanks…"

"You're welcome!" Lin Shiye suddenly said loudly after walking a long distance.

"Tsk..." Jotaro's face darkened, and he turned and left.

Lin Shiye smiled smugly.

They soon arrived at the Emiya residence, where, as agreed, Lin Shiye was about to give Shirou a thorough training session.

Because his crush didn't come, Shirou Emiya, aside from a change in mindset, hasn't improved his skills at all. He's still a mediocre magician, and his projection magic is probably limited to playing around with a wooden sword.

Lin Shiye originally thought of having Arcueid come and teach him, but he quickly realized that the illusion materialization and projection magic are not the same thing.

Simply put, one requires using your brain, and the other doesn't.

If she were to actually teach, the scene would probably turn out like this...

Arcueid: Is that so hard? Isn't this something you can figure out in a flash?

Emiya Shirou: What is this guy talking about?

So, it seems we'll have to rely on the knights to solve this!

"Tokiyo, what's next in our training?" Emiya Shirou led the boy to the dojo, his face full of eagerness.

Artoria, who was standing nearby, also cast a curious glance at him.

She had been awake for a while, and Shirou Emiya had mentioned changing her Master to her, but she firmly refused.

The reason was simple: she had long considered Shirou Emiya a friend, and there was no reason for her to abandon him halfway. Besides, after reclaiming Avalon, she felt she could still make it work.

Lin Shiye was not surprised at all. This was precisely what made the Knight King so touching. Although she might look down on a Master who was not qualified for the Holy Grail, Emiya Shirou was clearly not one of them.

Not to mention, she has long since given up hope on the corrupted Holy Grail. As for the White Grail, that's a story for another time.

"Let me think about it."

Back to the main point, Lin Shiye stroked his chin and began to think. Shirou Emiya's projection magic could only project things like swords. Although almost every Kamen Rider had a sword, he felt that the most eligible bachelor and the Ten Blades were still the best.

Huh? Wait a minute!

Lin Shiye suddenly had a mischievous idea, and then he took out a watch face.

"2009 Decade"

"I'll find you a good teacher!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a golden door opened, and a crimson knight stepped out, his posture casual and somewhat roguish.

"Wow~" Emiya Shirou and Artoria blinked.

Kamen Rider Decade's gaze swept around, taking in Shirou Emiya and Artoria before finally settling on Shiya Lin, as if to say, "Where is this? Who are you?"

Lin Shiye suddenly realized that unlike the other knights he summoned who were just tools, this guy was indeed the real deal...

Brother Xiaoming is truly the only one in all realms! Now it's easy to invite a god, but difficult to send him away!

"What are you looking at? That's your apprentice." Lin Shiye pointed at Emiya Shirou, his expression serious.

"You two are both of the 'Shi' generation, go and teach him."

Tsukasa Kadoya: "..."
