Chapter 266 - Chapter 264 - In Kyoto 9

[Boost Boost Boost Boost!] Shirou is using the boosted gear fourth time in a row to reinforce the Gae Bolg. And beside that, the new Gae Bolg that he made using tracing was a broken phantasm, so reinforcing it using boosted gear was overkill because right now the broken phantasm Gae Bolg will have a frightening amount of destructive power.

"Well, using a boost four time in a row to strengthen the broken phantasm was the limit, huh," Shirou said while seeing the broken phantasm Gae Bolg that was ready to explode at any time. "If I'm not careful, this Broken Phantams will become a disaster that is enough to destroy this dimension, even though I really want to destroy this dimension that was made by some Longinus, but if I destroy it by one attack then the other people that exist inside this dimension will be in a dangerous situation."

When Cao Cao saw the broken phantasms that Shirou held in his right hand, A cold sweat was pouring down from his face because he knew that the red-blooded spear in Shirou's right hand was very dangerous.

The insanely murderous aura that was spread out from the spear was enough to make him pass out. And if not for the holy aura from the True Longinus that protects him from the murderous aura, Cao Cao right now will be lost against Shirou.

"That spear was dangerous! What kind of spear has an insanely murderous aura like that? If not for the holy aura of my true longinus, I will pass out because of that murderous aura!" Cao Cao said, Whose body is shaking because of the murderous aura. "I, the great Cao Cao, feel afraid just because of the murderous aura of an unknown spear! This is really blasphemy for someone as great as me!"

Cao Cao, who has a very high pride, knew that the power he has right now is not strong enough to defend against the power of Gae Bolg if the spear hits his body, even if he tries to stop the attack using True Longinus.

He had a chance to stop the attack using the Truth Idea, the last form of his Longinus. But using the Truth Idea will take a great toll on his body. Beside that, he still needs his stamina and magical power to start the ritual to summon the Great Red, so using the truth idea was out of the question.

The only way to avoid being killed by Shirou was by using Assaratana, which he had already prepared just in case he wanted to escape from the enemies that were too strong for him to handle.

'If I teleport close to him, I surely will be killed in an instant, because with his superior reflect and agility, a sudden attack will not work on him. Even though, weirdly, my attack before was able to hurt him. Maybe his reflection and agility were not as great as I thought, but it's always better if I'm careful in every situation because there is a chance that he was pretending that he could not avoid my attack before to make me careless,' Cao Cao said while in his mind formulating a right strategy to avoid death. 'Hmm, it looks like it will be better if I pretend that his attack hit me while I'm teleporting using Assaratana, but he already knew that I can teleport using Assaratana, so maybe it will be better if I use Kahabateiratana to make a fake body and let his spear attack that fake body while the real me is escaping using Assaratana! Hmm, that was a good idea. I think this idea is good enough to fool him.

But just in case he feels suspicious of the fake body that I made, it will be even better if I make the fake body more real using some high-level illusion magic that I learn just in case I need to escape a situation where I cannot use Assaratana.' xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Well, it looks like that Cao Cao is thinking about some strategy. He's just doing some monologue inside his mind. If he suddenly becomes silent like that, well, whatever he does is not my business.

Even if he tries to make some fake body that he made using his orb to avoid my attack by making it seem more real using some illusion magic, all of that is not important," Shirou said, who was trying to guess the strategy that Cao Cao made.

"Let's see if he really can avoid my attack or not."

The Broken Phantasm Gae Bolg in Shirou's right hand became more bright because of the red light that appeared from the Broken Phantasm when Shirou was ready to launch the spear at Cao Cao.

"Gae Bolg!"

The Broken Phantasm, which has a power at least eight times greater than usual, is ready to hit Cao Cao, who is still floating in the air using Hatthiratana, and with the special trait of Gae Bolg, it will hit the heart no matter what.

The Broken Phantasm is hit right in the heart of Cao Cao's body. Cao Cao's body that was stabbed by Gae Bolg was thrown to the ground to the point that a big crater was made because of the power of Gae Bolg that was strengthened using Boosted Gear. The diameter of the crater is about half a kilometer, and Cao Cao's body that was almost destroyed is laying down right in the middle of the crater.

"Hmm, it looks like I succeeded in holding back the power of the Broken Phantams, so this fake dimension is still intact, but still, the crater that was made because of the power of Gae Bolg is too big," Shirou said, who was flying in the air while seeing the result of his attack. "I think this still can be counted as overkill. Maybe next time I didn't need to reinforce the Gae Bolg or other Broken Phantasm because the aftereffect is a bit too much." xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 "Wow Emiya I think you're doing a move that is a bit overkill just to beat Cao Cao, who I presume escaped using some trick. Because of the condition of the body in the crater, I can see that it is more like a metal than flesh and blood; it looks like he is using a fake body that he made using one of his orbs and then escaping by teleport," Azazel said, who is floating in the air beside Shirou using his twelve jet black wings. "He is a very slick person, just like an eel."

"I knew that he would escape using some trick, but I don't think that my guess about how he will escape will be very right," Shirou said with a sigh. "Facing a very paranoid and careful enemy like Cao Cao, who always had a plan to escape, is really annoying, but thanks to him I already had the True Longinus in my arsenal, complete with the Balance Breaker, even though it is impossible for me to use the Truth Idea because the will of the Allmighty God is something that is impossible for me to get no matter what."

"So Emiya, because you succeeded in defeating Cao Cao and making him escape, I think the fake dimension that was made by Dimension Lost will be gone soon," Azazel said. "Are you going to save Yasaka right after the fake dimension is gone?"

"Yes, that was my purpose," Shirou said with a determined look on his face. "Because it will be better if we save the Dai Youkai as soon as possible."
