Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War

That was undoubtedly a fatal blow, and the beautiful slash thrilled him.

(but.)

Iori didn't come to "die" for nothing.

Just as he said before.

Observe the common people, observe Edo.

It was simply to understand them as much as possible, and then know how to easily kill them.

To beat your opponent, you need to understand and analyze them.

Habits, moves, techniques.

Every movement, every trajectory.

These elements, when combined, form the foundation of victory.

My own Saber

Kenshin Himura

Iori already knows his past and abilities.

The executioner from later generations, unlike himself, experienced the "bloodshed and carnage" of a chaotic world.

Many times, Iori thought, "If only it were him."

That experience of fighting against various powerful enemies in a chaotic world is exactly the kind of scene I've always dreamed of.

(The Heavenly Dragon Flash involves first stepping out with the left foot, followed by the drawing of the sword from its sheath.)

Observing him was only for the purpose of killing him more effectively.

(Even with its speed already at its peak, and despite using Swallow Return to deliver a counter-attack, it's still difficult to avoid Saber destroying the sword and defeating it.)

Like Master (Sasaki Kojiro)

Even so, Iori still chose to use "Swallow Return" to meet "Heavenly Dragon Flash".

He claimed that his Six-Sword Swallow Return might not be better than that person's, so why did he dare to face "Heavenly Soaring Dragon Flash," which had defeated Kojiro?

Ultimately, this is because Iori knew about this one and only flaw and found a way to deal with it.

Swallow Return is not as simple as striking at the same time; it is a parallel slash performed in a manner similar to the "Second Method."

Almost impossible to avoid

Saber (Kenshin)'s solution was to use "Ame-Sho Ryusen" to cut the sword in half, thus preventing the Swallow Return from being used.

That possibility was cut off at the "root" level.

Iori, however, wants to do the opposite.

(That's right. I can do it!)

Thinking like that, Iori waved her hands.

The purple blades of the six companies flashed simultaneously.

"boom!!!"

I heard a crisp sound, and the knife I was holding in my right hand snapped.

The number of sword shadows from the Sixth Company decreased instantly.

But Iori remained unmoved.

(The Heavenly Dragon Flash is an incredibly fast sword-drawing technique that allows one to strike after the opponent has moved.)

That was knowledge that Saber had once "educated" herself about during her breaks.

Iori herself also has some understanding of the Flying Sword Style.

(Even if you launch a counterattack with a swallow-like attack, you will still be caught up.)

Once entangled, the Swallow Return technique will inevitably be broken.

But Iori is different.

His swallow-like movements are split in two.

Therefore, there are options that differ from Kojiro's.

(Use the extra trajectory of the swallow's return to defend against it as well.)

No overly complicated steps or techniques are required.

Simply concentrate all your strength and make contact with the opponent's blade.

The six consecutive swallows returned and charged towards the Sky Soaring Dragon Flash.

This is Iori's method.

"Clang!!"

Seeing Kenshin's arm being deflected, his attack also stopped, and even his body seemed to lean backward.

Iori couldn't help but smile.

Tianxiang Dragon Flash

He cracked it!!

The remaining purple blade light rushed towards the unavoidable sword heart.

"Won!"

Everyone was surprised to see that the other side had the upper hand.

"!"

But the next moment, Iori froze, her face showing an expression of disbelief.

(This is.)

The final slash didn't strike Saber as he expected; instead, its trajectory missed her, as if played in reverse.

As if he had come into contact with gravity, his feet and hands were being pulled.

What came into view was a terrifying area formed where his and Kenshin's swords had just clashed.

(Space...is distorted?!)

(It was this space that sucked me in!)

(Because it neutralized the impact and power of the Sky Soaring Dragon Flash)

(The repelled air created a time difference.)

(This is causing everything around us to rapidly return to its original state!!)

Realizing this, Iori's expression changed from "surprise" to "joy".

My body was pulled and sucked toward that spot.

Even his movements became distorted.

As a result, the final Swallow Return attack could not be fully executed.

Having grasped the principle, Iori watched Kenshin steady himself as he prepared to swing his sword, and became captivated.

(Even if you avoid the dragon's fangs, will you still be torn apart by its claws again?)

(Saber, your swordsmanship)

(So ​​beautiful.)

"Pfft!!!"

"Tick tock."

What caught everyone's attention was Iori's sudden defeat.

The image shows a body severed and lying on the ground, covered in blood.

"Clap."

A moment of silence fell over the scene.

Masayuki, Takao Tayu, and Zheng Chenggong all wore different expressions.

They all thought Iori was going to win.

But I never expected such a reversal.

Both sides' performances were astonishing.

(It's not just about speed, it also has the power to counter the opponent.)

(A head-on confrontation can only be met with the awareness of certain death.)

Yoriichi, supporting his sword, also watched the clash between the two.

He immediately understood the troublesome nature of Kenshin's "Noble Phantasm".

That's a deadly move that's hard to stop once it's started.
