Chapter 519: Tao Pai Pai VS Heracles
The Twelve Labors, a legend born from the twelve nearly impossible challenges completed by the great hero Heracles in mythology.
It is Heracles' Noble Phantasm when he descends as a Berserker, and its effects are specifically divided into three parts.
Firstly, this Noble Phantasm is similar to a conceptual armament; although there is no materialized armor, the Twelve Labors act like an invisible shield protecting Berserker. Any attack below Rank B cannot affect him.
Furthermore, this defense is an exemption, meaning you cannot overcome it by continuously attacking the same spot to accumulate damage or fatigue.
Secondly, the Twelve Labors possess an accumulative passive resurrection ability. This is a complete resurrection, automatically triggering when he is truly killed, without needing him to activate it. After accumulating 11 resurrections, it means Heracles must be killed 12 times to truly defeat this powerful hero.
Thirdly, for damage already sustained, the Twelve Labors will generate targeted resistance and exemption. This means Heracles cannot be harmed multiple times in the same way. Originally, Heracles himself also possessed the ability to discern all attacks he had seen, but the Madness Enhancement of the Berserker Servant sealed this ability.
Without a doubt, this Noble Phantasm, despite being only Rank B, is extraordinarily powerful because it represents the heroic deeds of the demigod Heracles, a hero from the age of myths.
Bai Cangshu kicked away the severed body parts of the Ice Demon Chrollo on the ground, while Rin Tohsaka and Emiya exchanged glances and both retreated.
They were wary of the murderous lunatic Tao Pai Pai, but similarly, the dark, raging giant, like a demon god, also made their hearts palpitate. At this moment, it was for the best that these two were entangled.
Bai Cangshu's black hair fluttered in the wind, and a white light began to glow from within him. In just a moment, that white light enveloped his entire body, and his long hair gradually turned a luminous white, with shimmering light like fragmented specks of light, drifting down from the tips of his hair.
"Hoo~"
Bai Cangshu slowly exhaled, as if expelling the last bit of air from his chest, leaving no external impurities in his body. His cavities completely closed, and even his cells seemed to be sealed.
This state lasted for less than an instant. The next moment, all his cells opened, and his luminous white hair spread out like octopus tentacles.
A luminous white, translucent, vortex-shaped tentacle began to extend outwards, touching the giant magic circle carved into the cave. It was as if tiny, dark bloodstains, perhaps accumulated over hundreds of years, began to float up.
Mana materialized in the air, and a majestic aura suddenly emerged from the ley lines.
That was the trace of the Great Holy Grail, but Bai Cangshu's mind was not there at the moment.
He opened his eyes, which were completely luminous white, and the dark Berserker was reflected within them, like an insect preserved in amber.
[You have activated the Noble Phantasm: Heart Vortex]
At this moment, as if sensing a strong threat, Berserker turned and let out a violent roar.
Roar!
A blazing white shockwave materialized and slammed into Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu lowered his eyelids, his mouth half-open, and with his right hand, fingers joined like a crane's beak, he thrust forward with a 'poof'.
The movement was extremely slight, as if he had only moved a few centimeters.
But in the air, a clear crane cry emerged, and a transparent force pierced through the air, revealing a sharp, distinct crane beak shape.
Poof!
The blazing white shockwave was directly pierced by the force. An entire wall of air was penetrated from the center, instantly vanishing without a trace.
The maddened Heracles couldn't possibly notice such precise control of martial arts force. Even if he could, the tiny shred of sanity he possessed at that moment wouldn't allow him to react.
This individual, with almost impossible rationality, had preserved a rare sliver of sanity as a Berserker, but that sanity and gentleness were reserved for the petite silver-haired girl.
Bang, bang, bang…
Heracles charged through the cave, the surging power distorting the surrounding air. The cave, frozen by Chrollo, began to collapse once more.
He reached Bai Cangshu in a few strides, and the massive Nameless Axe-Sword in his hand slammed down like a wall.
Bai Cangshu twisted his body. Heracles' movements were completely clear to him, and he stepped past, almost brushing against the axe-sword.
As the axe-sword struck the ground, its immense force triggering a new round of tremors, Bai Cangshu had already pulled his body back. His right hand was joined like a sword, covered in dark Armament Haki, and a Killing Intent Ripple suddenly flowed.
Hum~
[Killing Intent · Devil Spear]!
Bang!
Bai Cangshu directly thrust his dominant hand into Heracles' unguarded ribs. The impact spread out, but no blood appeared.
Heracles' body merely shifted slightly. He immediately turned his head, his eyes glowing red, fixing his gaze on Bai Cangshu.
Roar!
With a violent turn, both his fist and the axe-sword swung simultaneously.
Boom!
This strike was no longer a slash, but a smash targeting an entire area of space!
There was no space for close-quarters evasion, and Bai Cangshu did not use the Wind Demon. He stacked his hands in front of him, and the moment the violent force reached his hands, he floated backward.
[Power Nullification]!
With Bai Cangshu's current Martial Arts Specialization level, combined with his physical constitution comparable to a dragon beast, the power nullification he could achieve far exceeded the Sea Emperor's imagination.
Bai Cangshu lightly stepped on the air, and dozens of white ripples spread outwards. He then floated down from the air.
Heracles became even more enraged.
Roar!
Boom!
Dark light exploded, and the ice glacier at the top of the cave instantly shattered, sending countless rocks crashing down again.
In this environment, however, Bai Cangshu stood his ground.
The Devil Spear, a Rank C ability, even with the addition of Killing Intent Ripple and Armament Haki, still could not cause any damage to his physical body.
Is this conceptual armament?
What level of ability in this space do the Rank B attacks of the Fate world correspond to?
And also…
Whoosh!
Bai Cangshu's figure instantly vanished, moving with the speed of light.
Heracles reacted extremely quickly, with a reaction speed completely disproportionate to his massive size. He slammed his fist downwards just as Bai Cangshu appeared, precisely above the rapidly appearing Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu's expression remained calm. He thought to himself, 'Is this the so-called 'Mind's Eye' ability? It's practically a super combat intuition.'
Bai Cangshu, intending to discern all of the opponent's abilities, did not dodge. In an instant, he raised his hand, and golden energy whistled from his fingertips. The next moment, it shot into Heracles' eye socket from incredibly close range.
Poof!
Bai Cangshu was simultaneously pierced by an incredibly violent force, sending him directly crashing into the ground.
Rumble!
The ground completely shattered, and the mountain collapsed. Between Bai Cangshu's waist and abdomen, the Flame Dragon Scales and Armament Haki both shattered, leaving a massive wound. His twisted intestines were vaguely visible.
