Chapter 501: Guardian Spirit Lu Bu (3K+)
The Reincarnator codenamed [Evil Eye] held a steel spear and wore a magnificent blue and white uniform. He deliberately set his avatar to look like this before entering this world, not without the intention of misleading other Reincarnators.
But this Tao Pai Pai seemed to see through his identity at a glance.
An inexplicable unease began to surface. He suddenly realized the danger at this moment. That White Mask had only promised that Gilgamesh would appear behind him, but had not said when he would appear behind him.
Bai Cangshu raised an eyebrow, his smile growing more playful. His pupils shifted, like a snake observing its prey.
"Tsk, you're not even a Master, yet you show yourself so directly before me, wanting to kill me. It seems you really are a fool."
Bai Cangshu did not see any Command Seal marks on the back of the other party's hand.
Ma Yuanzhang grunted but remained motionless, and the Command Seal was not used.
Evil Eye felt even stranger. The reason he dared to search for Tao Pai Pai everywhere and actively show himself after finding him was because he had also confirmed that Tao Pai Pai, who was chasing White Mask into this world, had indeed been turned into a Servant.
In reality, Evil Eye had not sensed Tao Pai Pai's aura at all. He had specifically waited in this place simply because it was near the Emiya household, where the possibility of triggering plot and missions was highest.
He was surprised to encounter that plot character who held a Command Seal but was completely unfamiliar to him, and then heard him order Tao Pai Pai to kill, which led to his delighted appearance.
When a fierce beast like Tao Pai Pai is restrained by a Command Seal, it is absolutely the easiest time to kill him.
Just like Kiritsugu Emiya did in the original work, threatening the weak Master to use a Command Seal to kill Tao Pai Pai…
Evil Eye's right hand was steady, and the spear tip pierced forward another inch, already fully embedded in flesh.
He could feel that the human in front of him was tense and trembling all over from the pain.
"Quickly use your Command Seal to make Tao Pai Pai commit suicide, otherwise… die!"
A chilling tone, an undeniable command.
Evil Eye hid his body as much as possible behind Ma Yuanzhang, but Tao Pai Pai still only smiled.
Although Bai Cangshu and Ma Yuanzhang had only just met, he had a precise grasp of human nature.
Through the fact that the other party had not summoned him with a Holy Relic, and the indifference and detachment he had previously displayed,
Bai Cangshu judged that the other party was likely also an "anomaly" lacking empathy and most normal emotions that humans should possess.
Good and evil, pros and cons, held no value in such a person's eyes.
Moreover, Ma Yuanzhang was not like Bai Cangshu; he did not possess powerful strength to remain unaffected by others. Therefore, Ma Yuanzhang had likely been influenced by various factors during his growth.
He had become completely twisted and heterogeneous (alien/abnormal).
The world of Type-Moon is not short of such twisted individuals. Bai Cangshu saw it clearly: threatening the other party with his life was useless.
Sure enough, under Bai Cangshu's smiling gaze, Ma Yuanzhang raised his hand, and the Command Seal lit up.
"Tao Pai Pai, kill him!"
Buzz!
Bai Cangshu instantly appeared behind Ma Yuanzhang. This was not his own ability, but because the Command Seal itself possessed the effect of forced teleportation and even enhancing the Servant's power.
But neither Bai Cangshu nor Ma Yuanzhang were true Heroic Spirit Servants, nor were they qualified Magus Masters.
It was difficult for them to unleash the Command Seal's effects at all.
Evil Eye was startled, not expecting this weak Master to ignore his threat. He stabbed forcefully.
Puff!
The spear tip pierced further into the flesh, but a hand had already gripped the silver-white spear shaft.
Evil Eye exerted force, but felt his strength disappear as if a mud ox had entered the sea. The silver spear was completely immobile.
Whoosh!
The air rushed at him like a wall.
Evil Eye's face instinctively recoiled, releasing the spear shaft. His hands shielded his front, and a greenish-gray armor appeared on his body.
Bang!
Evil Eye was sent flying by a huge force. As soon as he floated, he felt the armor on his elbow begin to shatter.
Meanwhile, Tao Pai Pai merely stood in place, his left hand gripping the silver spear, his right hand striking forward into the empty air once.
Evil Eye's scalp pricked, his black Short Hair stood on end. That chilling sense of fear made his adrenaline surge wildly in an instant, and his concentration improved like never before.
His strength attribute must be above forty points!
Evil Eye did not see "Gilgamesh" appear in his peripheral vision, and he already felt like retreating.
But facing someone like Tao Pai Pai, retreating was not a simple matter.
Sure enough, he saw Tao Pai Pai's figure blur, and the alarm bells in his heart rang loudly. He could no longer hold back for the sake of his objective.
Intense spiritual power surged from his body. The next moment, a gigantic figure wielding an even larger weapon descended from the sky.
Clang!
Bai Cangshu released the silver spear. He raised his left hand, and the halberd struck his left hand fiercely.
A searing white shockwave exploded outwards.
The concrete ground beneath Bai Cangshu's feet instantly rippled outwards like waves.
Ma Yuanzhang lost his footing and fell to the ground.
Further away in the courtyard, exclamations also rang out.
Bai Cangshu stood still, observing the tall spiritual entity, approximately over three meters in height and fully armored. Its form was solid, and its red cape fluttered violently.
The force of this strike was immense, far exceeding that of ordinary strength-specialized Reincarnators.
"Hmm?!"
Beneath the faceplate, the spiritual entity seemed quite shocked that Bai Cangshu stood still and took his blow with one hand.
Evil Eye, however, had no mind for such things. While issuing commands, he quickly retreated.
"Fengxian, kill him!"
Evil Eye entered this world and actively participated in the Holy Grail War because he also possessed a reinforcement type that allowed him to control spiritual entities.
The Guardian Spirit system from [Soul Suppressing Street] was also one of the reasons he was willing to ally with White Mask.
He was not a Master, nor was his Guardian Spirit a Servant; he was not a mandatory participant in the death match of the Holy Grail War, so the risk was not too great.
But when the Greater Holy Grail finally appeared, even if the magic within it had completely transformed into the All Evils of the World, that kind of thing would still be entirely sufficient to allow his Guardian Spirit to level up and fully materialize.
He had no essential conflict with White Mask, but even so, Evil Eye still felt a sense of lingering fear at this moment.
"Damn it, that bitch White Mask really can't be trusted…"
She clearly said Gilgamesh would follow him, but White Mask played a trick. Fortunately, he wasn't the type to fight in his original body.
As long as Lu Bu blocked Tao Pai Pai, he could...
Bang!
A terrifying impact sound erupted from behind him. Evil Eye turned his head, only to see the tall spiritual entity with both feet on the ground, sliding backward uncontrollably, instantly crashing into a courtyard wall and completely demolishing the wooden building.
Tao Pai Pai stood in place, his right arm muscles bulging. He still looked at him with a smile, then took a step forward, and the hundreds of meters vanished instantly.
Thump-thump-thump!
Amidst hurried footsteps, the door of the courtyard that Bai Cangshu had just been about to attack opened, and a woman holding a wooden sword rushed out in a panic.
At the same time, on the other side, a red Short Hair boy, wearing a tracksuit, also emerged, and on the back of his hand, a crimson Command Seal was strikingly vivid.
Click.
Amidst the clinking of silver-white armor, a petite blonde woman, clad in a blue dress and white armor, stood in front of the boy and the woman with the wooden sword.
Her hands were clasped in front of her, as if holding an invisible sword.
"Who are you?"
Though Saber asked "you," her gaze was clearly fixed on Bai Cangshu.
This person, clad in a pink robe and standing in the shattered street, exuded a powerful presence. His black hair danced in the wind, and his face bore an unsettling smile.
With just one glance, Saber confirmed that she disliked the man in front of her, but she frowned, feeling that he wasn't entirely chaotic either.
That contradictory feeling prevented her from directly initiating combat.
Rumble!
The wooden house exploded, and Guardian Spirit Lu Bu rose again, which unconsciously drew Bai Cangshu's attention to this novel spiritual entity.
He licked his lips. Evil Eye, seeing this from afar, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, a very bad premonition.
Bai Cangshu's black hair fluttered behind his head in the wind. He had hundreds of thousands of Yin Spirits within him. If he could understand the operating mechanism of this kind of Guardian Spirit… ha~
The next moment, Bai Cangshu suddenly frowned, and the ground beneath his feet instantly exploded.
Almost simultaneously, Saber Artoria also looked up at the sky. She held the sword, covered by the Wind King Barrier, in front of her with both hands.
Clang!
Clang!
Puff!
Three rays of light fell almost simultaneously. Bai Cangshu blocked two of them, but the last golden gleam pierced into Ma Yuanzhang's chest, where he had been stabbed earlier.
"Uh… puff"
Ma Yuanzhang hadn't realized what had happened. He raised his hand, seemingly wanting to use his last Command Seal, but before he could speak, a large amount of blood gushed from his chest.
Bai Cangshu looked up and saw a golden figure standing in the air, its red eyes meeting Bai Cangshu's before it frowned slightly.
"Mongrel, who allowed you to look directly at this King?!"
Hum~
Puff!
A golden sword pierced through Bai Cangshu's afterimage and into the ground.
This sudden change shocked Evil Eye, but…
He looked at Tao Pai Pai. Although Gilgamesh's sudden appearance caught them off guard, was the speed at which those three swords fell truly that difficult for Tao Pai Pai to react to?
Did Tao Pai Pai deliberately allow his Master to be killed?
But without the Master's magical energy supply, a Servant shouldn't be able to exist in this world for long. This is the rule of Servants and Masters. Does Tao Pai Pai want to escape this world?
A flood of questions arose, but the next moment, Tao Pai Pai's figure suddenly vanished, followed by a crashing sound.
Then, Tao Pai Pai was seen knocking Lu Bu out again, and the two of them together smashed through a large number of houses, completely waking up the ordinary people in this block.
Your Guardian Spirit Lu Bu has been affected by the special ability Yin Spirit Possession.
Lu Bu has resisted this effect.
Your Guardian Spirit Lu Bu has been affected by the special ability Yin Spirit Possession.
…
A flood of notifications suddenly refreshed before Evil Eye. Evil Eye thought, "This is bad." He didn't care about attracting the attention of Saber and Shirou Emiya and shouted loudly.
"Lord Gilgamesh, quickly kill Tao Pai Pai!"
Gilgamesh looked down at Evil Eye from above, his eyelids lowered, his expression cold.
Hum!
A sharp sword pierced the ground in front of Evil Eye.
"Dare to order this King again, and your fate will be the same as that fellow's."
At this moment, Ma Yuanzhang had begun to tremble, and his vital signs were fading.
But there was no fear in his eyes, only confusion and bewilderment. He brought the black notebook to his eyes, and in his gradually blackening vision, he checked other knowledge, then tried with his last bit of strength to curse his teacher, Taiga Fujimura, the only person he remembered who never gave up on him.
Taiga Fujimura suddenly recognized that the person lying in a pool of blood was her student. She dropped her wooden sword and rushed towards this student who had always been gloomy and unsociable.
"What's wrong with you? Hold on, Maezono-kun!"
In his almost completely black vision, Ma Yuanzhang felt that Teacher Fujimura was like the only light. Her smiles, which she had shown him again and again, reappeared before his eyes.
"That smile… I hate it so much… Teacher…"
Ma Yuanzhang trembled twice more, then fell completely silent, becoming the first Master to die in this Holy Grail War.
