Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War

Chapter 638 638 Is it her? It's him!

Secret Sword: Swallow Return!

When that amazing technique appeared before his eyes, Kenshin's eyes widened in surprise.

While he may have overestimated Iori's abilities, he hadn't expected her to be so outstanding.

The Noble Phantasm symbolizing the Heroic Spirit Sasaki Kojiro.

It can be controlled by a mortal body, and even unleashed a "six-hit combo" with that kind of momentum.

Niten Ichiryu and Yanryu

Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Kojiro.

This is a unique skill that only someone who possesses the essence of both styles can master!

Miyamoto Iori used this as a benchmark, which created the opportunity for him to reach the level of a sword saint.

That sudden killing move would have been difficult for any of them to defend against.

Musashi's defeat perfectly illustrates the "extreme situation" Kenshin had previously described.

Well, there's no need to be too sad.

"I should go to the next place."

Reassuring Takao Tayu, Musashi remained optimistic despite being defeated.

"Iori."

"That's a fantastic skill, but you shouldn't be satisfied with just that."

With blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, she lay on the ground and turned to look at her beloved disciple.

Although it was too "betraying one's master" for the disciple to kill his master with the secret technique of his mortal enemy, she was not so hung up on it.

He only complained a few times before letting it go.

After all, the Niten Ichi-ryu school, which was passed down to Iori, was not a school of thought that was bound by rigid education.

Moreover, because her master passed away early in this world, Iori had to become self-taught.

How it will turn out is unpredictable.

What Musashi was somewhat dissatisfied with was...

It was clearly the cause left by "Male Musashi" that caused this, yet she, "Female Musashi," is the one who has to bear the consequences.

There was both pride and admiration for his beloved student, and resentment towards him for using himself as a "test subject."

"master."

Seeing Musashi's naturally smiling expression, Iori knelt on the ground listening to his final "last words".

"You'd better protect Taifu well for me. If anything happens to her, I won't forgive you."

Even though his breath was growing weaker, Iori's serious expression made him suddenly become solemn.

He didn't speak, he just nodded.

"It is only right and proper for your disciple to complete what Master Sa did not finish."

Her body gradually turned into specks of light and disappeared. Finally, as if she had thought of something, she grinned mischievously again.

"Ok?"

"I know. After you defeat me, you will go to the appointment to fight Kojiro in my place."

"Then, you mustn't lose."

As Musashi spoke, his undisguised intentions made Iori smile wryly.

How could he not understand such straightforward words?

Musashi's subconscious meaning was that she wanted him to use the Swallow Return to kill Kojiro as well, which would make her feel better.

It's just so unfair that I'm being treated like this.

Even though they're about to lose everything, they still want to "annoy" their mortal enemy.

Is it that they have a good relationship or a bad one?

"Uh"

As the light faded, Iori composed herself, then stood up and sheathed her sword.

Just then, Takao Tayu also handed over the bead that shimmered in the moonlight.

"As agreed, that's yours."

Without any ceremony, Iori accepted the Dragon Ball and simply put it away.

"Saber, please send the husband back."

"Please, please let me witness the end."

"?"

"This is also the promise I made to Musashi: no matter what happens, I will witness it to the end."

Even if she's dead.

Hearing that serious tone, Iori fell silent and then did not object.

Since the other party, a courtesan, was so aware of this, he had no reason to stop her.

Because next, they will be facing off against Yui Masayuki and Sasaki Kojiro.

Now that my master has passed away

It is up to me, as the disciple, to fulfill that challenge.

This was also Iori's "little secret" from the very beginning.

After defeating Musashi, I can then go and fight Kojiro.

Isn't this double the happiness?

As for what would happen if he lost, he wouldn't think about that.

At worst, it's just death.

Having awakened his true nature, he had long since become indifferent to life and death.

What is there to fear if one can fight a powerful enemy?

Even if his sister were standing right in front of him, she couldn't stop him.

"."

Seeing Iori's expression, Kenshin remained silent.

His Master's experience was remarkably similar to his.

Different environments simply lead to different personalities.

He led the world from chaos to peace.

Iori's journey from a desire for peace to turmoil

Kenshin was "numb" as an executioner and wanted to stop and atone for his sins.

Iori, on the other hand, craved a fierce battle because he did not want to be buried in peacetime.

If Iori hadn't experienced the taste of "blood (battle)," she would have been able to suppress her true nature.

But it's a pity.

Once you've experienced the light, how can you possibly endure the darkness?

Especially with a group of swordsmen in front of her, it was incredibly provocative for Iori.

war!

Miyamoto Iori's original intention was the same.

He even showed no mercy in killing his own master.

Kenshin did the same thing in his quest to master the Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu.

The only difference is that he was very lucky.

He looked at the Tenseiga at his waist, and the reason he had no regrets was that he had mastered the Heavenly Soaring Dragon Flash.

Thanks to this connection, Master survived the attack of the Heavenly Dragon Flash, and Kenshin was able to continue pursuing stronger growth without any burden.

complex

Iori and he had similarities, but they went down different paths due to subtle experiences.

"Let's go."

The time was drawing ever closer, and Iori led the two of them toward the agreed-upon place.
