Chapter 147 Struggle and Reinforcement
“Swallow can endure the force of wind to dodge a blade, whether it’s fast or slow doesn’t matter at all. No matter what kind of blade it is, it won’t be able to vibrate the air and move through it. They just feel that vibration and change their flight direction. So, no matter how you strike, you can’t cut down Swallow. The sword is just a line, and since Swallow moves freely in mid-air, it’s only natural that you can’t catch it.”
“So, all you need to do is block its escape route. Attack Swallow with one blade, then seal its escape route with another blade using the force of wind. However, they are very sensitive, and this long sword won’t be able to keep up with the second strike. To succeed, you have to perform both strikes in an instant, almost at the same time. If you do them simultaneously, they’ll always be too slow. For that reason, you should also add a third blade to block its side escape route.”
Magic Sword: Swallow Reversal (Swallow Reversal).
A sword that approaches from three sides at the same time, cutting through the opposing warrior and aiming for their head, is a sure-kill sword.
In the real world, one blade swings out, then completely overlaps with two flashes simultaneously, producing attacks from three directions. This is an “overlapping phenomenon in multiple dimensions” that surpasses speed, precision, and virtual attacks. It reaches the high realm of “the second true magic.”
Unlike Cu Chulainn (Lancer)’s “Gáe Bolg (Barbed Spear of Piercing Death),” which has a cause-and-effect reversal, this is an unavoidable strike in another sense.
At the gate of Ryūdō Temple, a Saber-wielding swordsman named Sasaki Kojirou (Assassin) stands in a strange stance.
“Secret Technique: Tsubame Gaeshi (Swallow Reversal)!”
In the instant after saying that, Sasaki Kojirou (Assassin) slashes out three blades. The three blades come from different angles at the same time, targeting Kuzuki’s lower body, sealing all his escape routes.
From Kuzuki’s perception, which can distinguish 0.0001 seconds or 0.1 milliseconds, the three blades appear simultaneously. However, in his perception, they seem to appear at the same time. Either Sasaki Kojirou (Assassin)’s swordsmanship is faster than Kuzuki’s perception limit, or his sword technique has surpassed human limits and entered the realm of “the second true magic,” Distorting Time and Space.
His Spiritual Awareness is concentrated to its peak, slowing down the surrounding environment infinitely. Only the three blades are approaching simultaneously.
Even if he can perceive it, he cannot avoid it.
It’s not that the three blades are too fast to dodge; it’s because they have sealed all escape routes. The difference is whether one blade or two will hit him.
If Kenshiro had reached Musō Tensei (No-Thought Reincarnation), could he avoid this attack?
Kuzuki’s Musō Tensei (No-Thought Reincarnation) does not master the technique, meaning Tsubame Gaeshi (Swallow Reversal) is an unavoidable blade for him. So, all he can do is defend.
Northern Return Qi!
A visible, intangible shield appears around Kuzuki and spreads to more than two feet in an instant.
However, the three blades, like eggs sinking into mud, pause for just a moment before slicing through the intangible Qi Shield and charging toward Kuzuki’s throat, heart, and brain.
“Gurk!”
A sound of meat hitting the ground is heard as two of the blades disappear, and the combined force of the three blades sinks into Kuzuki’s arm.
At the moment Tsubame Gaeshi (Swallow Reversal) is about to hit Kuzuki, he instinctively raises one hand to block one blade and sidesteps the other two.
A cold blade pierced through Kuzuki’s arm, severing half of his forearm bone and lodging in the radius bone.
“A beautiful strike, unfortunately lacking a bit in power.” Kuzuki pulled out the sword, and in the next second, the wound on his arm healed rapidly—bones regrew seamlessly within three seconds, restoring him to his original state. If not for the tear in his arm’s clothing, there would be no trace of the injury.
Kuzuki chose to stop fighting because he had already won.
Before Tsubame Gaeshi (Swallow Reversal) could block him, Kuzuki had already secured victory. The careless Sasaki was struck by Kuzuki’s touch; if not for Kuzuki holding back, he would have died.
The reason he continued to fight was because Sasaki Kojirou (Assassin) wanted a proper battle and to showcase his vaunted technique.
Unfortunately, the outcome remained in Kuzuki’s favor, despite him barely dodging Tsubame Gaeshi (Swallow Reversal). At the moment he blocked Tsubame Gaeshi (Swallow Reversal), one more punch would have surely killed Sasaki Kojirou (Assassin).
This outcome is also recognized by Sasaki Kojirou (Assassin), who understands that he is not on par with the opponent.
However……
How else can one describe it? I’m a Servant!
Sasaki Kojirou (Assassin) retrieved his longsword, looking slightly uneasy.
As an Assassin, his Strength is not particularly high—only C-ranked—but this is relative to the Servant group.
Compared to a Human, a C-ranked Strength is many times that of a normal person. With the sharpness of Nodachi, he could easily sever a thick steel column at the elbow. Yet, when attacking Kuzuki, it only cut halfway through his arm and lodged in the radius bone.
Such physical defense is on par with a Human’s level!
“Speaking of which, are you truly a Human?” Sasaki Kojirou (Assassin) asked curiously.
“There’s no need to answer something so obvious,” Kuzuki replied.
Kojiro (Sasaki Kojirō) was about to say more, but his ear caught the sound of footsteps from afar.
His figure instantly transformed from a physical body into a Spirit state and disappeared from Kuzuki’s view.
A voice echoed through the air: “The master does not allow me to disturb your life, so let’s pretend this never happened. Hmm… she might find out.”
“If she asks honestly, I won’t hide anything.”
So, if she doesn’t ask, then he won’t say either……
A single laugh from Kojiro (Sasaki Kojirō) ended his silence.
Above the mountain gate, Medea (Caster) still wore a cloak over her face, making it hard to see her expression as she approached. However, from the slight tilt of her lips, it was clear she was in good spirits.
“Master, why did you suddenly come out?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Well, I wanted to prepare some auxiliary items for master.”
Kuzuki listened and nodded in agreement, joining Medea (Caster) as she returned to the room.
A pile of shopping bags had disappeared, restoring the room to its neat and clean state.
The two were not far apart, sitting opposite each other.
Medea (Caster), like a magecrafting expert, pulled out a large pot taller than a person and introduced it with pride: “Master, this is what I prepared for you.”
The enormous pot, made of gold-baked bronze, gurgled with bubbles. Thick, unknown liquid churned within.
“This is my Vessel of Youth, which contains Titan Ointment. If master cooks it for a while in the pot, Strength and Body will be strengthened. This way, master will have some self-defense power during this war.”
[Titan Ointment] is a legendary potion said to have been given to Jason by the gods, granting him immense strength and immunity to fire magic. It transforms ordinary humans into fearless warriors capable of fighting against Servants.
[Vessel of Youth], Medea (Caster)’s second most famous Noble Phantasm, is said to grant youthfulness, allowing even corpses to be revived through the pot. According to legend, Medea (Caster) used this pot to trick Jason into trusting her and being dismembered before being placed in it.
Now, the infamous witch points to the cursed pot that killed Jason and invites Kuzuki inside.
Without hesitation, Kuzuki removed his upper half and exposed a body like polished steel.
Medea (Caster) is the type of person who dislikes muscular guys or good-looking men. Based on her experience, she finds such men untrustworthy.
Logically, she should dislike Kuzuki, a muscle-bound man, but in reality, she couldn’t take her eyes off his smooth, white throat as it unconsciously moved down.
Gurgling sounds echoed as Kuzuki jumped into the pot and wiped the blue ointment on his body.
“I’ll help you, master.”
Medea (Caster) threw herself onto the edge of the pot, with her Body resting behind Kuzuki. She picked up the ointment from the pot and began to rub his back.
His body was like rubber, filled with heat and flexibility. His skin was unusually smooth, strong, and elastic. Every time he moved, she could feel the fibers of his muscles contracting and relaxing, changing shape like water. Even the burning blood vessels in his body were jumping, sending blood to every part of his Body through a powerful heart.
Kuzuki faced Medea (Caster), unable to see her expression behind him. The heavy breaths hitting his ear and the weak hands gradually losing force suggested she was in an odd state.
After some time, Kuzuki suddenly asked: “How long should I boil it?”
Like a student caught doing something wrong, Medea (Caster) pulled back her fingers electrically, pulling them a few times before saying: “Once the liquid in the pot becomes transparent, it’s ready.”
However, the liquid in the pot had already turned transparent.
Kuzuki broke through the surface of the water and stood up from the pot.
Countless Water Droplets slid down his body like droplets rolling on a lotus leaf, unable to be affected, following the outlines between his muscles as they fell into the water.
“master, I’ll help you dry off.”
Medea (Caster) had somehow acquired a Towel in her hand. After Kuzuki walked out of the pot, she approached him to help dry his body.
Kuzuki looked back and noticed her Rosy Cheeks and wandering gaze, completely unaware that he was channeling Force, Yùn jìn had shaken open the Water Droplets on his body like counting them, and was using the Towel to wipe them off as he went.
“Hmm, this feeling of being served by someone seems pretty nice…”
ps: If it’s Kenshiro against Tsubame Gaeshi (Swallow Reversal), he would use Musō Tensei (No-Thought Reincarnation) Blessing’s Suiei Shin (Water Shadow Mind), instantly learn Tsubame Gaeshi (Swallow Reversal) and simultaneously throwing out three punches, each aimed at Nodachi’s weak spot, shattering the longsword in an instant. Using Musō Inzatsu (No-Thought) Assassination), he would flash past Kojiro (Sasaki Kojirō) like a ghostly shadow, then point his Death Omen Star at him and say: “You’re already dead.” Then turn around to face Kojiro (Sasaki Kojirō).
