I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

She should have been a top-tier Servant, but now, influenced by DIO's abilities, although she has become an ally, it's not absolute; she still occasionally regains her senses.

Therefore, when affected like this, the only thing that can be done is to the level of a third-rate Servant.

Therefore, Tristan admitted that although he had never seen her strength, she was definitely top-tier, since even Knights of the Round Table like Lancelot and Gawain could not prevent being transformed by that ability.

Even our perceptions have changed as a result.

It is precisely because the abilities of Servants like Xuanzang have declined so much that DIO has tried to avoid using this ability on Servants. Although they can be transformed into his companions, their abilities have declined so much that there is no difference between having it and not having it.

As for now—

We must stop those people no matter what.

Once Arash, this unexpected being, is defeated, then everything that follows will be within DIO's expectations.

This time, almost all of DIO's subordinates, except for Gawain, came.

Gawain, on the other hand, had his own additional mission.

brush----

boom------!!!!

"What?!" Just as Lancelot drew his longsword from his waist to go and provide support, a huge wall of fire appeared in front of him.

"The city walls were burned down."

Ryougi Kazuya sheathed his Zanpakuto, which was burning with flames, and then looked at Arash, saying, "First, let's rescue him. Those people are already trapped."

"Is that... your Noble Phantasm?" Agravain asked, looking at the Zanpakuto in Ryougi Kazuya's hand with a puzzled expression.

"Ah, that's right, you can understand it that way. Simply put, it's a treasure that controls flames. That's all you need to know."

The Nine Heavens Mirror Valley is actually named the Mirror of Beauty and Mirrors.

Its ability is very simple and straightforward: it can use the abilities of all other Zanpakuto!

And several types can be used simultaneously.

Using the Mirror Flower Water Moon technique, making people mistake the flames of Ryujin Jakka for ice, and within it, Senbonzakura's blades, when approached, Senbonzakura suddenly transforms into a divine spear carrying poison—these are all standard operating procedures.

Now, everyone present has fallen victim to the Mirror Flower Water Moon technique used by Ryougi and Mi.

However, he didn't create any illusions.

Artoria is not worthy of belief, Agguwen is not worthy of belief, and Arash is equally not worthy of belief.

Aside from the fact that Chaldea has definitively stated they haven't encountered DIO, everything else is unreliable and could be evidence of an enemy.

The most important thing that Aleister, whom I had met before, taught me was to always consider the worst-case scenario.

Right now, everyone here, in this singularity, is an enemy—

This situation must be considered.

Let them gaze upon this Zanpakuto, becoming prisoners of Kyoka Suigetsu, so that it can play a crucial role in development when the time comes.

However... if he could, he wouldn't be planning to use Kasumi no Suki right now.

Right now, Merlin is watching this place, isn't he? And Goetia is watching him too, isn't he?

You can all see this blade, right?

Moreover... the enemies that appear later, the enemies that will appear in Chapter 2, might also have seen this sword.

We should save our trump cards for later; for now, let's use Ryujin Jakka.

"That is—?"

Arash, looking disheveled, was stunned for a moment, and then saw someone burst through the sky and pin the Sphinx that was charging towards him to the ground!

"roar----!"

This was just a regular Sphinx, not some special species like the Father of Terror. It was easily pierced through the skull and gradually dissipated, but it didn't die. It will probably be resurrected in that great temple.

"Looks like you're still alive. Can you move?" Arash asked Ryougi Kazuya in surprise, "You are—? From that time!"

boom----!

Arash was about to say something when several people rushed out of the flames!

"Rebellion against my magnificent father—!!"

With Mordred's Noble Phantasm activated, all the Servants rushed out the moment the flames created a hole.

'It's so hot—'

Lancelot frowned: 'The temperature of this flame is beyond imagination. If we were hit head-on... we'd have to avoid it. Fortunately, is the main objective this time to trap us? Now that we understand the temperature of this flame, what's next...?'

"Watch out! Lord Lancelot—Ahhh!!"

"What—!?" Lancelot turned around in surprise to find that Hassan the Hundred-Faced was entangled in flames!

The flames, originally intended to trap them, now seemed to be automatically tracking them and coiling around them.

Because of his exceptional agility, Hassan the Hundred Faces, who had stayed behind to leave the passage to Lancelot and his companions, was burned to ashes almost the instant he spoke, and his spirit origin returned to Valhalla!

Chapter 1241 D-I-O!!!

"That is—?"

Agrave looked to the other side, his eyes widening in surprise. The Servants who had been rushing towards them quickly dispersed and began to flee, trying to avoid being entangled by the flames that could burn even the Spirit Origins of Servants.

"Don't come out—Mordred!!"

Mordred, who had just finished unleashing her Noble Phantasm and was about to run away, was met with a roar from Lancelot, and could only stand there and watch the flames close up.

"This is... automatic tracking!?"

"When did they arrive?" Nitocris stared blankly to the side. She had been taken aback by the flames and was a little confused about what had happened.

Then they discovered that the Sphinx had been killed.

He was thinking to himself, "This is it, this is it."

The next second, a powerful weapon was unleashed from the side.

While she was still in a daze after using her Noble Phantasm and didn't know what to say, she discovered that the Pharaoh's subordinates had somehow appeared! So they were the ones who had been trapped in the flames before?

"Really..." Ryougi Kazuya chuckled, "Why did you have to rush out when you could have just stayed inside?"

The flames were originally intended to trap people, but if someone inside tries to force their way out, the flames will track them, making it very difficult to eliminate them.

and...

Ryougi Kazumi's Ryujin Jakka is even hotter than Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni's!

Of course, this refers to the initial liberation.

The current Yanluo Jingdian cannot use Bankai... or rather, no one except its first owner can use it, since it is not the owner of the Zanpakuto and therefore cannot make the Zanpakuto 'submit' to it.

However—the original sword spirit has been defeated and absorbed; what's inside now is Ryougi Kazuya's Zanpakuto spirit, meaning there's still a chance.

Yanluo Jingdian is usually asleep. When she wakes up and uses her power, she must devour the souls of others, causing irreparable damage.

Simply put, while this Zanpakuto is powerful, it is indeed a life-threatening Zanpakuto. If you use it for a period of time, roughly half an hour to an hour, based on the spiritual pressure level of someone like Byakuya Kuchiki, you'll have almost used up the rest of your life.

However, as I said before, the current Yanluo Mirror has no side effects!

Of course, there is actually no Shikai or Bankai. This Zanpakuto is very ancient, the Zanpakuto of the first generation, Tsunayoshi. He was from the same era as that great monk, Hyosube Ichibei. That was more of a 'true fight' than a Bankai.

Using the "real fight" method is not just about subduing someone; what's missing is something that Ryougi and Mi themselves haven't figured out yet.

And this ability...

Although one can use several Zanpakuto simultaneously, the strength of their abilities varies depending on the user.

Take Ryujin Jakka for example. Two people use the same Zanpakuto. One person might only release a small flame, which would be difficult to even burn down a house, while the other person might release a raging inferno that blots out the sky.

The difference lies not in the Zanpakuto, but in the spiritual pressure intensity of the wielder.

The same applies to Kyoka Suigetsu; Aizen could use it to control other people's five senses. But with someone else, he might only be able to control four or three senses... Even if he forced himself to control all five senses, the illusion he created would inevitably have flaws.

one...

two...

The blazing flames, like dragons of fire, relentlessly advanced and pursued, already devouring two Servants.

Hassan the Hundred-Faced, and... Xuanzang Sanzang, whose strength has declined so much that he is in a daze.

"Finally... I can wake up..." With these words, Xuanzang returned to the Hall of Heroes.

"And of all times, Gao Wenqing isn't here—" His fingers plucked the bowstring repeatedly, but it was useless. With his magical resistance, he should have been able to withstand the flames for a while...

But faced with this high temperature, he had absolutely no desire to try it.

will die.

It would be easily burned to ashes, along with its own spirit origin.

Is this that person's Noble Phantasm? Or... just a random attack?

If it were Gao Wenqing, that Sun Knight, they might be able to handle it, but with them... their compatibility is too poor!

"It seems that the flames are starting to overwhelm them." Ryougi Kazumi felt something was strange... Even if her flames were strong, they shouldn't be chasing Lancelot and the others like that.

He should have had the opportunity and ability to retaliate, for example, by using his sword to cut through the flames.

Have you forgotten?

Or has their strength declined?

Or perhaps his judgment has declined?

"Looks like you're allies now." Arash breathed a sigh of relief. In just this short time, he felt his spirit origin was about to collapse again and again.

Although he never drew his bow, he still expended a lot of energy.

“Wait a minute—” Arash said, looking at Artoria who was about to attack Nitocris, “Your enemy is that DIO, right? Then she must be an ally.”

Nitocris, who was originally going to do it herself, twitched her ears and asked, "What's going on?"

The person who was constantly being hunted by the Sphinx claimed to be a partner?
