Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War

Its recovery speed was so fast that the opponent didn't even have the intention to defend.

It's impossible to confirm whether this is a Heroic Spirit's skill or a Noble Phantasm, but the situation is overwhelmingly unfavorable to him.

A normal Master would probably be panicking by now.

"Witnessing this scene, I felt no fear or desire to back down."

"All they have is the intention to continue fighting me."

"Looks like he's quite thirsty."

Upon hearing the other person's words, Iori was momentarily speechless.

Upon closer reflection, he realized that he might have been a bit too bold.

Faced with a terrifying enemy, instead of retreating or waiting for Saber to return, he confronted him alone.

"I just wanted to stop you."

"Who are you to commit murder at the gates of Edo Castle?!"

As he spoke, Iori used his usual set of words.

This has always been the "goal" he set for himself.

It wasn't for his own sake, but simply to maintain order in Edo.

I have no other ideas.

"Ah"

A smile appeared on his face, but he could see through the "loneliness" hidden deep in the heart of the Master before him.

That is a mind that is not satisfied with peace and desires to be in a state of chaos.

"what!"

Faced with the Heroic Spirits, the Master launched a charge.

The distinct attack stances also highlighted the different schools of thought.

A fiery red blade flashed as a heavy blow was delivered, but Xu, unfazed, raised his blade to block it.

"Bah!"

Even if it might force him to take a small step back, it wouldn't cause any real harm.

With upward thrusts and downward slashes, the powerful and heavy blade could be clearly seen.

"Whoosh!!"

While defending, Xu can even seize upon its weaknesses to launch a counterattack.

Wounds kept appearing on Iori's body, but the other party showed no sign of stopping.

(Does the more injured one is, the more ferocious their swordsmanship becomes?)

With a slight grin, Xu noticed something interesting.

That is, the more pressure he puts on his opponent, and even injures him, the more fiercely Iori will fight back.

The speed of the knife swing is faster

The slash was even more powerful.

It's hard to imagine that this is the kind of performance a Master could deliver.

"I see."

After a sigh, Xu roughly understood the man's contradictory statements.

Deep down, he yearns for battle, but he always uses a plausible excuse to numb himself.

This is a swordsman who cannot tolerate the "taste" of battle once he encounters a powerful enemy.

Perhaps it is because the prolonged peace has suppressed their inner feelings for too long that when they erupt, the "symptoms" will be more intense.

In that case

"Then let it all out."

With a malicious smile, he exuded an air of indulgence.

Such a young and naive "Master" is a rare sight.

If we guide him step by step to taste the "sweetness" of battle, it will inevitably lead to a very interesting ending.

That's what Xu thinks.

"Bang!"

Faced with the lightning-fast, continuous slashes, Xu gradually increased the intensity of his attacks.

The fire form won't work.

The Wind Form won't work either.

Water type and Earth type. Similarly...

Unaware of the other party's malicious intentions, Iori was simply immersed in the battle.

Despite being at a disadvantage, I've never felt so "satisfied".

This is a scene of going all out to launch an attack on the opponent.

He had never encountered this before.

But now, they are fully enjoying it.

Even though I rationally knew I should stop immediately, for some reason my body just started moving on its own.

not enough

not enough!

I want to continue fighting against such a strong swordsman.

Only by fighting against such an enemy could he have lived up to all the knowledge he had acquired throughout his life.

Continuously switch between the four sword forms: fire, wind, water, and earth.

That slump in both offense and defense only fueled Iori's growing enthusiasm.

He even forgot for a time that he was a human being facing Heroic Spirits.

"Ahhh!!!"

Roaring, Iori used all her strength to deflect the Hollow's blade, and a rare satisfied smile appeared on her face.

The blade was already close to her throat, but Iori showed no fear in the face of this situation.

"Flying Sword Style"

"Nine-Headed Dragon Flash!!"

At that very moment, the figure that had suddenly attacked from behind activated its most powerful Noble Phantasm.

"puff!!!"

The attack hit its mark perfectly, interrupting the danger that was closing in on Iori.

"call"

After a while, Kenshin landed on the ground and looked at the enemy who had been knocked away and fallen to the ground in the distance due to the impact and slash. Kenshin breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he arrived in time; otherwise, who knows what kind of dangerous situation might have arisen.

Iori was more reckless than he had expected, actually confronting a Heroic Spirit head-on.

"Master?"

Seeing the other party's cold expression, Kenshin shouted.

“Saber?”

Upon hearing this, Iori was clearly lost in thought, her expression momentarily dazed before she realized what she had done.

He seemed a little too "overconfident".

He was almost killed just now, so why is he so indifferent?

The consequences would be extremely serious.

But now, instead of feeling relieved to have survived, he feels a sense of regret that is "unfulfilled".

They failed to defeat their opponent.

I am still not strong enough

If we could use our special techniques, maybe...

Analyzing the illusory moves, ignoring its strange regenerative abilities, Iori contemplated the possible outcomes of the battle.

"Nine-Headed Dragon Flash"

"The successor of the Flying Sword Style."

Upon hearing the slowly approaching voice, Kenshin looked up sharply and saw the man who had suffered nine consecutive blows stand up.
