That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

boom! boom! boom!

All three True Aether Element Collapse Bullets were blocked by Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's katana, and he heard Hall's voice.

"later."

Hall had already leaped into the air, raising his longsword behind him.

The sword light was like thunder, exploding in mid-air. Even though it was blocked, it still knocked Amakusa Shiro Tokisada to the ground.

Hall landed on the ground, his spear sweeping across, creating a fierce gust of wind that blew away the dust.

boom!

Amidst the dust and mist, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada barely managed to block the spear with his katana, the ground beneath his feet crumbling. He couldn't hold out for even a moment before being swept away like a ball.

Hall followed closely behind, his gun like a shadow and his sword like a flash. Every attack and coordination was perfectly timed, leaving no gaps and giving no openings.

It is fast, steady, and stable.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

With a series of slashes and hacks, he pushed Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's body into a corner of the training ground.

"Cough~ cough~ cough cough cough~"

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada coughed up blood. Despite his resentment, he couldn't find an opportunity to retaliate, let alone launch an attack.

After a few brief exchanges, he sustained several more wounds.

After cornering Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, Hall did not pursue him. Instead, he swung his sword to wipe the blood off the blade and chuckled, "It's almost over. This is my last chance for you."

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada adjusted the magic power of his spiritual origin, took a deep breath, and replied, "I understand. Victory or defeat hinges on this sword."

He raised his longsword high, his rune discs unleashing their full power like an engine spewing magic, awaiting Hall's attack, like a trapped beast in dire straits.

Chapter 355 Hesitation Leads to Defeat

On the training ground, Hall stood quietly waiting. His magic eye observed the changes in the concentration of magic power in Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's body. The rune wheel that gathered on his arms converged into his katana and continued to refine.

Hall's eyelids twitched, and the magic circuits within his magic eye stung faintly as he sensed a threat. His future vision vaguely saw several future scenes of people being killed by this strike.

It wasn't just magic; the swordsmanship domain attached to the sword had already been revealed, shrouded in black smoke.

Heart

Skill

body

The trinity, with the sword as its vessel and the heart as its direction.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada always desired the power to achieve his goals, which was also his greatest regret in life. He had watched helplessly as 30,000 people died before his eyes, and he blamed all the sins on himself. In despair, he prayed to the god he believed in for power and the opportunity to summarize the good in this world.

The boy, who was revered as a saint, eventually fell into the path of the demon.

At his request, his deeds of saving the world were solidified into a Noble Phantasm, which became Amakusa Shiro Tokisada standing before Hall in the Saber class.

The whites of his eyes had turned black at some point, and his pupils were bright red, like a demon that had been killed out of hell.

Magic Eye!

Hall felt a slight unease. As the holder of the Magic Eye, he knew this powerful and eerie force all too well.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, holding his katana high with both hands, spoke in a deep voice as a warning: "Be careful, sir. My eyes can see through all your actions and defenses. This next sword strike is imbued with the last obsession of the heroic spirit named Amakusa Shiro Tokisada before his death."

It's actually the Heavenly Eye...

Upon hearing his description of the Demon Eye, Hall's face showed surprise. There was once a sword saint named Miyamoto Musashi who possessed a similar ability and named it the "Heavenly Eye." It is a power that is gathered together to achieve a goal, fixing the desired result and selecting the best path to that result from countless action lines.

If you want to kill someone, focus your gaze on the body, and you will unleash the most suitable strike, without any unnecessary movements, killing instantly.

In other words, it means squeezing out all of one's own abilities to unleash their full potential. If even using the "Heavenly Eye" cannot achieve the desired result, then it means that the user's own limits have not been reached to achieve such a result.

The Heavenly Eye is an extremely special Mystic Eye, fundamentally different from the Petrification Mystic Eye or the Death Perception Mystic Eye. The Petrification Mystic Eye is an extension of the power of the world, while the Heavenly Eye is an extension of the holder's own mind to its ultimate limit. It is similar to swordsmanship that reaches the realm of magic, such as the Swallow Reversal. The Heavenly Eye is the ultimate of consciousness, while the latter is the ultimate of technique.

The combination of the Mind's Eye (True) and the Mind's Eye (False), along with the ability to receive revelation and the saintly willpower of Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, is what achieves a similar effect.

“Interesting, then I’ll respond with all my might.” Hall replied with a respectful smile.

We had no choice but to do this; if we continued to treat it with a playful attitude, we might very well be beheaded by this sword.

Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, a Saber-class Servant, possesses swordsmanship skills that are very close to those of the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi.

The only thing that can deal with the Mystic Eyes is the Mystic Eyes.

Hall swept aside the long hair around his right eye and activated the Eye of Destiny with all his might. The light was dazzling, and the independent magic circuit of the Eye of Destiny instantly devoured more than half of the magic power in Hall's body, while the rest flowed into Hall's hand.

Hall tossed aside the magical costume and longsword he had casually crafted, and gripped the spear in his right hand, its greyish-white light flickering faintly.

"Amakusa, here's a piece of advice: your demonic eyes shouldn't be looking at me, but at this spear."

"Otherwise, you will die."

"The so-called gun has another use."

The marksmanship he learned from Scáthach, the queen of the Land of Shadows.

Hall raised his right hand, and the spear that continuously emitted grayish-white light flew out of his hand, hovering above Hall's head. The true ether element wrapped around the spear became increasingly violent, and the spear blade locked onto Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's body.

Sizzle~ Sizzle sizzle sizzle~

Circling waves of true etheric element spread outwards, and even the ordinary onlookers could feel the terrifying power contained within the spear.

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's demonic eyes fixed on the True Aether Element Spear, his pupils flashing.

It is so powerful that even using the Heavenly Eye cannot find any possibility of breaking through it.

All that was left for him was endless despair.

······

Outside the stadium, the commotion grew increasingly louder.

"What is that!?"

"I have a bad feeling. Can we really stay here and watch? Won't we get dragged into this?"

"Back then, when the King and Enkidu fought for several days, the forests were destroyed and the mountains were leveled. It feels similar now."

"This is Uruk!"

"They are the king's men, they shouldn't act so recklessly."

Panic spread among the onlookers.

The ninja, Fuuma Kotaro, solemnly asked the burly man beside him, "King of Sparta, are you ready?"

Leonidas I nodded and said in a deep voice, "I can activate my Noble Phantasm at any time."

"Although it was only affected to a certain extent, the magical reaction was so strong that it surpassed that of an anti-military Noble Phantasm. This city is still too small."

······

"White Barrel!"

Hall gave a low shout and swung his right hand down. The True Aether Element Spear, which had been suspended in the sky, fell like a star. The surge of elements crushed the air and emitted a piercing shriek. The ground within a radius of 100 meters in the training field cracked inch by inch and burned into lava under the scouring of the elements.

boom!

A burst of white light instantly filled everyone's field of vision.

Almost simultaneously, facing the torrent of true ethereal elements thrown out by Hall using magic, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada remained unmoved, his Heavenly Eye fixed on the dazzling white light. He took a step forward, slashed down with his katana, and roared: "Tenri Kyoushin-ryu: Destiny Wheel!"

Ding!

A delicate, clear sound, like the tinkling of wind chimes, rang in people's ears. Though not loud, it was clear, and the vision, which should have been covered by white light, clearly showed the moment when the blades clashed with the gun blades.

The singularity where the blades collided briefly tore apart the rules of the Age of Gods, unleashing an even more intense white light, a more surging flow of true etheric elements, and terrifying heat that rushed in all directions.

Rumble~ Rumble~~

The earth trembled, and the true etheric elements of the divine era surged and spread. The intense heat melted the ground and lifted it up inch by inch.

If this force is allowed to run rampant, it could very well raze half of Uruk to the ground.

"not good!"

Leonidas I suddenly leaped into the training ground, standing in front of all the people, ready to summon the Spartan army to stop the spread of this force.

However, the next second, magic arrays simultaneously unfolded in all directions of the training ground, forcibly confining this enormous power within a certain range and changing its flow direction. The light stream, with nowhere else to go, could only surge towards the sky.

"This is!"

Fuma Kotaro also breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that the other party was well prepared. They are really thorough. I feel that they have a pressure that is no less than that of King Gilgamesh."

He looked up and watched as the beam of light, dazzling even in daylight, pierced the sky, tore through the clouds, and transformed into countless silvery-white fragments that drifted down, a breathtaking sight.

······

In the heart of Uruk, deep within a magnificent palace, lies the king's bedroom.

Gilgamesh lay reclining on the stone bed, holding a stone tablet in one hand, the information displayed on it being updated rapidly.

His entire attention was focused on the stone slab, his expression calm and composed.

He summoned Merlin, then seven Servants, and now Uruk has drained him of all his magical power, making it difficult even to use his Clairvoyance to glimpse the future.

However, with the news of the Three Goddess Alliance spreading and the monsters attacking the North Wall, Gilgamesh couldn't put aside state affairs during his brief half-hour rest.

This is arguably the most stressful period in Uruk, where rest breaks need to be timed precisely to the minute.

The stone tablet displayed some less important future information that he had predicted with his last bit of magic.

It includes the possibility of a human visiting him, and the future is highly uncertain.

This includes the stagnant southern jungles and how many cities have been destroyed by monsters so far.

Because of the current situation in Uruk, we must grasp even the most insignificant information.

Gilgamesh muttered to himself, "We must find out the true form of the Three Pillar Gods as soon as possible, but we can't see the location of the stone tablet."

The high priest Siduri entered and, seeing that Gilgamesh was still awake, said anxiously, "Your Majesty, please take care of your health."

"..."

"I know what I'm doing. As long as I don't try to peek at the goddess, there won't be any problems. Hmph, it's like the rage of a child, the wildness of a beast, all the willful things in the world combined together. They're not worth my magic at all."
