Chapter 462 - 410: Sword of Rupture
Tao Yu, who had been standing behind Hashirama Senju supporting his shoulders, also rose from the head of the Buddha statue, carefully sensing the changes in Hashirama Senju.
In an instant, he elevated himself to a five hundred meter perspective!
Compared to this statue, his Alien Dragon and those monsters from the Pacific Rim, even the Tailed Beasts, had all shrunk to mere specks!
True·A single strike overpowers ten meetings!
As thousands of hands clapped together, the "ora ora" filled the area, creating dust clouds that spanned a couple of soccer fields.
The sheer kinetic energy caused an explosion of dust that shot up into the sky.
The earth continued to shake.
Even though they were currently in the suburbs,
this kind of tremor could easily reach into the city!
And with a Buddha statue this huge, it would be impossible to hide it from those peering out of their windows.
Even without lights at night, one could see the massive shadowy silhouette against the night sky!
The ’secrecy’ of the Holy Grail War was no more...
"Such force, whether it’s from afar or up close, is terrifying..."
Even knowing what was to come, witnessing it firsthand still left Tao Yu utterly shaken.
He had learned Chakra-induced Wood Release and Lava Release from Mei Terumi, which was merely a simulation of the Skill infused with his True Yuan.
He possessed Wood attributes himself, and had now fully acquired Chakra attributes as well.
If it were merely Wood Release, simulating it with True Yuan would pose little issue. @@novelbin@@
But the combination of Hashirama’s jutsu with Sage Art left even Tao Yu, with his hand on Hashirama’s shoulder, somewhat puzzled.
"Mind, body, and the energy of the Divine Tree, combined to form Chakra. Typically, when Chakra is released, it perturbs the Qi of Heaven and Earth. This Sage Art seems to involve breathing in the Qi of Heaven and Earth before activating it, mixing it inside the body, then releasing it to stir even more Qi of Heaven and Earth, completing a cycle..."
The True Thousand Hands · Summit Enlightenment continues its "ora ora".
But Tao Yu found himself uninterested in the outcome of the battle against Gilgamesh.
He was already capable of inhaling and exhaling the Qi of Heaven and Earth, which he could merge directly with his own True Yuan; ordinary Chakra could be simulated to effect, but this Sage Art Chakra was indeed too peculiar.
Right, it was peculiar!
"After all, the energy of the Divine Tree is special."
At this moment, Tao Yu also realized the gap in his accumulation of knowledge, or perhaps it was his Enlightenment that was truly mediocre.
With the Longevity Secret he originally absorbed the Skill directly, but now this type that required his own analysis and understanding was a bit perplexing.
"I should just stick to ordinary Wood Release for now, sigh..."
Tao Yu withdrew his hand.
"Wood clones and Tree World Descent aren’t too shabby either, and Wood Release combines easily with Sealing Skills. Hashirama himself also knows many Sealing Techniques. What one loses on the swings, one gains on the roundabouts. Even if I truly mastered Sage Art, I wouldn’t be as lavish as him..."
How much Yuan Force would I need to summon such a huge Buddha statue?
Actually, I don’t want to learn it at all! Not envious one bit!
"Be cautious, Master, he has blocked it."
Hashirama Senju suddenly frowned.
In an instant, the myriad palms shattered, splinters flying everywhere with a cracking sound.
Chaos in the spatial currents, shattering upon contact!
A strong wind swept through, clearing the dust in the air, revealing the dirty and somewhat disheveled Gilgamesh.
Around him were layers upon layers of purple floral hoops for protection, and there were special chains.
However, those energy hoops seemed wilted, their surface cracked, while the gaps in the chains were too large to block all the repercussions.
These hoops were none other than the renowned defensive Noble Phantasm, Seven Rings that Cover the Fiery Heavens.
The chains were the Chains of Heaven, which suppress Divinity!
And what he held in his hand was the distinct Sword of Rupture!
Clearly, the spatial rift attacks that had severed those arms had been struck by this Sword of Rupture.
This was also Gilgamesh’s strongest Noble Phantasm.
Such a massive Buddha statue, so many arms, yet they were sliced through by the Sword of Rupture! Continue your adventure at NovelBin.Côm
Even though in the world of Naruto, abilities can be dominated by a single move of Kamui, which leaves almost no resistance to spatial powers,
the vastness of the attack still showed its brute force.
Gilgamesh’s strength certainly rose sharply when he got serious.
It’s just that he usually takes on his enemies with a proud attitude of toying with them, rarely unleashing the Sword of Rupture.
In the original work, he lost to Shirou Emiya for this reason.
But this time, it was clear that Hashirama’s attack had made him take things seriously.
Not only did Hashirama’s face show a grave expression,
Mr. Men, who had just led everyone to retreat, also looked up
"Huh? Quite a nice key; the power I can exert through this projection is limited, we are in danger, we need to retreat."
While speaking, Mr. Men gestured, and Hashirama Senju and Tao Yu were suddenly whisked away from the top of the Buddha statue directly to his side.
And the next moment, a pitch-black void strike shattered the giant head of the Buddha statue, seemingly cutting spatial rifts wherever it passed!
"Thank you,"
Tao Yu nodded to Mr. Men.
"When I was pulling you out, you had already escaped with him; I somewhat misjudged the situation."
Mr. Men gave Tao Yu a glance. He had felt the flow of time shift when he pulled the two of them and was genuinely surprised.
"Let’s withdraw for now,"
The very next moment, as the fissure that could devour everything sliced down from the Buddha statue’s head, threatening to engulf everyone, Mr. Men made everyone disappear from the spot, leaving no trace behind.
Letting the black brilliance carve through everything, sweeping over the place where they had just been!
The colossal Buddha statue was continuously devoured under this black brilliance, torn apart, and finally split in two!
It collapsed with a thunderous crash!
The dust it raised seemed as though it would even obscure the stars.
"Interesting, you have successfully piqued this king’s interest."
Although he appeared equally disheveled, the seven layers of fierceness had all been shattered, and he could no longer maintain his image.
The outburst of the Sword of Rupture also brought a significant burden upon himself, making him seem somewhat breathless.
But after Gilgamesh’s two unsuccessful strikes, a smile appeared on his face that was neither a bitter laugh at his own anger nor anything else.
Afterward, he frowned slightly and looked at a dark corner before snorting disdainfully,
"Filthy rats…"
…
Within a temple courtyard atop a mountain, the silhouette of a group appeared amidst a distortion.
It was Tao Yu and his companions.
"Space transfer... so impressive…"
Rin Tohsaka was somewhat dazed, looking at Mr. Men, the gentlemanly uncle. Even though she had grown numb to shock that day, she couldn’t help but be emotionally stirred.
Such ease in accomplishing space transfer.
Treya’s eyes were also shining.
"Mr. Men, can your magic be learned?"
"I’m afraid not. To master my extraordinary ability, one would have to pay a steep price. And it’s probably not possible in your world; this is just the Holy Grail simulating a fraction of my powers. However, I can feel that my world is not far from yours, but it is not a pleasant place…"
Mr. Men smiled, looked up into the starry sky, and seemed a bit lost in thought.
Hearing his words, Treya felt disappointed yet thought it was to be expected.
"Three days, he said he could only hold on for three days. In fact, the stronger his power, the more problematic it becomes…"
Red A still remembered what Mr. Men had said earlier with a sense of alertness.
However, it seemed that because of the use of a Command Seal, Mr. Men became much more willing to help voluntarily.
"Yes, so I hope you’ll fight swiftly and decisively because I don’t know what trouble I might bring; maybe there will be trouble even more severe than me…"
Mr. Men sighed with a hint of regret.
"This is Ryudo Temple, why did you transport us here?"
Shirou Emiya also recognized the surrounding environment.
Although it was deep into the night, and there was no electricity,
there were still some candle lights inside the Ryudo Temple, probably because people woke up due to the earlier ’earthquake’.
And their appearance seemed to have drawn someone’s attention from inside. Someone was walking through the corridor with a candlelight, apparently coming out to take a look.
"I sensed the source of the Holy Grail’s magic power beneath this place, so I came to check it out. After all, I didn’t know where your homes were."
"Who’s there?"
At that moment, alongside the sound of sliding doors, a calm voice was heard.
It was Kuzuki Souichirou.
He was the second Master of Caster, a retired assassin, currently working as a teacher.
Having been strengthened by Caster’s magecraft, he could even face a Heroic Spirit head-to-head.
He was staying at the Ryudo Temple.
However, after Treya became the new Master of Caster, Kuzuki naturally had nothing to do with it anymore.
"What’s the matter?"
Then another voice, sounding much younger, echoed with the sound of running. A young man wearing glasses appeared beside Kuzuki.
"Emiya? Tohsaka? Matou? What brings you here, and why are there no lights so late..."
The young man adjusted his glasses, looking somewhat surprised.
His name was Ryuudou Issei, and he was also a classmate of Shirou and the others.
Since they had found an acquaintance, the following matters should be easier to handle.
During these times of urban crisis, borrowing a place to stay shouldn’t be a problem, right?
This temple looked quite spacious...
