Yoshikage Kira will save Renri

"Are you a heroic swordsman? Or...you are just a bait, are you really somewhere else? First...let me see who you are!"

"hateful......!"

The swordsman, who was completely inferior to Musashi in terms of strength, was directly countered. Musashi's blade accurately slashed across his cheek, cutting his clown-like ghost mask in half.

"You are......!"

When the mask falls to the ground, Musashi sees the faces that remind her of bits and pieces of her past, the faces of people who were once close to her.

"It's amazing, I really... still can't compare to you at all, no, this gap is getting more and more hopeless, hahahahahahaha!"

"Another...eight?"

"Ta Matahachi, you still remember this name, Takeizao."

Chapter 22: A Fated Showdown

"I thought I would never see you again in my life, eight..."

Seeing this only childhood playmate, Musashi couldn't help but feel a little complicated. She had already abandoned her earliest name and embarked on a journey destined to no return under the inspiration of others.

Although it was Yathachi who took the initiative to invite her to join the Tokugawa Army and wanted to win the first rank of the general to make himself stand out, but after seeing Musashi's character clearly, he realized that he was not a man suitable for the battlefield.

Maybe it's because Matahachi was the only one who played with Musashi when he was a child, so Musashi subconsciously felt that he was also a very courageous man, but in fact he was just trying to be brave.

"I thought you were living a good life with that Ah Jia, but it doesn't look like that..."

"Heh, heh heh heh...."

Motota Matahachi, the man who in Musashi's impression had always needed her protection, sneered at this moment as if mocking himself.

"I've completely parted ways with that bitch, yes...I dumped her! Do you understand, Musashi!"

In the Battle of Sekigahara, except for Musashi, the last people who managed to escape among the corpses were Yuhachi, but they were soon hunted down by the enemy again.

At that time, both Musashi and Matahachi were seriously injured, and Musashi was only a man with rough swordsmanship at that time. It was very difficult to pretend to be a man to join the army. They ran away together, and in the end, when they were about to die at the hands of the enemy, it was a mother and daughter who saved them both.

"Ah...you really haven't changed at all, Youba."

Musashi still remembered what happened afterwards. In order to repay the kindness of the mother and daughter for harboring the two of them, when the widow's husband-killing enemy came to the door, Musashi beat them to death with a borrowed wooden knife.

As for where the wooden sword came from, it was simply because the mother and daughter relied on their source of income. They lived close to the battlefield at the time, so every time a battle between armies ended, the mother and daughter would go to the battlefield Lives by touching corpses, so there will be weapons hidden in the house.

"I advised you at the very beginning, don't be fooled by Ms. Ajia..."

Musashi, who originally planned to return to Miyamoto Village after repaying his favor, was seduced by the widow because he was dressed as a man at the time. Said that there is really no other feeling except discomfort.

But Yatachi was tempted in the end. It was not right to say that he was tempted. Musashi could see that Yatachi was tempted first, and finally even chose to abandon his fiancée, and wrote directly to Atong who was waiting for him in his hometown. A letter of divorce.

"Tangled in the spider web of the female spider, and finally eaten and wiped clean, right?"

"That's why I said it all! I was the one who dumped her!"

"...that's enough."

Youba is cowardly by nature, kind-hearted at best, cowardly at blunt, he can't do anything to take the initiative to throw Ajia away.

What the widow wanted at the time was a man who could replace her dead husband and support her and her daughter's future. After finding that You Ba was not up to the task, she would definitely throw him away impatiently.

"Forget it...it's all in the past, and it really doesn't make sense to mention them now.

Compared to this, I am more curious... Why did you, who was cowardly by nature and should have returned to Miyamoto Village long ago, become such a ghostly person! "

Five years have passed since the last time I saw Matachi. The two who set foot on the battlefield when they were still young are now in their 20s. It’s not that Musashi looked down on Matachi. Matachi’s personality cannot be a hero, so it’s naturally impossible. Become a heroic spirit after death, and then be summoned to become a heroic swordsman.

"Stop looking down on people, are you trying to say that I'm not good enough, Musashi!?"

"..."

Musashi didn't answer, she really thought that way based on facts, Youba's character can't become a hero, it's not that a person can't be changed through training and practice, but the impression Youha gave her just now is no different from what she remembers .

Vulnerable to blows, easily influenced by others emotionally, physically and mentally as easily injured as tofu, such a person will not really be sharp even if he holds a sharp knife.

"Matata...Are you the original Tian Matahachi now, or are you just a sad residue that was turned into a heroic swordsman by a sorcerer?"

If there is any doubt, it is that the Ben Matahachi who appeared in front of Musashi is not like the Ba Yuzen he had seen before, revealing a frenzied aura of only killing.

To put it bluntly...he is closer to the original standard Tian Matahachi, even if the tone sounds excited, it is only to this extent at most, and there is a clear gap with the heroic swordsman who has become a killing machine.

"If it's the latter... what are you going to do?"

"If I thought you were the latter from the beginning, you're dead now, another eight."

The eyes are cold, so cold that they seem to be able to pierce the body like a blade. When Momoto Matahachi meets the eyes of his former friend Musashi, he feels his legs go weak in fright.

"It's so scary... Haha! Do you hate wantonly bullying and trampling on weak people, Musashi? You were such a person before, you notorious villain!"

"It doesn't matter if you think it's self-loathing. Even if you keep repeating the name 'Ezang', I won't feel any fluctuations in my heart."

The title of Ezo is the earliest black history of Musashi, but she is not a person who keeps her duty. Whether it is as Ezo or as Musashi, there are too many black histories to talk about.

"It's just... I'm not just my own likes and dislikes, I've also made an agreement with my good friend, she will take care of the general affairs, and I will take care of Heroic Swordsman.

Just for this agreement, I will kill all the heroic swordsmen I found. Now that I am confirming, it can be regarded as being scruples about the past, and eight... "

She used to dream of getting ahead, but now Musashi no longer pursues the reputation as a swordsman, and her whole life is only to reach the "empty" realm she dreams of, and there is no other goal besides this.

"And if you have become a heroic swordsman, killing you with one knife and giving you a relief is what a friend should do."

"Phew...Actually, you're completely wrong about one thing."

He pulled out the long sword at his waist, and the sword he pulled out was different from the previous one. This sword was longer than Musashi's Myojin Kirimuramasa, and was already close to the so-called Nodachi sword in length.

"I... was indeed summoned as a servant, but as you expected, I... am not a man who can become a heroic spirit!"

"It's certain that you can't become a hero like this, although Lixiang said that the standards of the Heroic Seat are very strange, and there are often cases where people who are not heroes are forcibly recruited.

But the heroic spirit belongs to the heroic spirit, you are not a hero. "

Musashi didn't even need to use his eyes to see, he didn't even need to use his ears to hear, and his body didn't need to feel the wind blowing.

From her point of view, Youbaxuan's knives seemed to be of good quality, but the quality of the knives was only good. The way he chose his own knives made Musashi disagree.

The more exaggerated the length of the samurai sword, the more it will test the swordsman's swordsmanship if it wants to be able to use it in battle. People who simply have a good foundation but do not understand swordsmanship will not be able to use a weapon like the Nodachi.

Even for a person like Tachika who has been tempered physically and mentally in battle, when he chooses a saber from Muramasa, the Wuming Muramasa he gets is a sword that can be pulled out quickly and easily.

"Well, I'm not a hero. After all, I've given up on getting ahead a long time ago~. Whether it's Shinmen Musashi or Miyamoto Musashi, what's wrong with me?"

"Don't be so cheeky, Musashi!"

Matahachi was obviously trying his best to attack, but even so, Musashi still had no intention of drawing the sword. The trajectory of the sword was too straightforward and thoughtless, and the scabbard could block it before it touched him.

"Now... tell me where the Heroic Swordsman is, and I can let you end this farce without getting hurt, Youba."

"That's why... it's right in front of your eyes, isn't it! The legendary swordsman of hell... the heroic spirit!"

The blood-red moon began to emit uncomfortable moonlight, and the blood-stained grass turned into countless skeletons, and Hell, represented by Heroic Swordsman, opened his fangs again.

"Is this reasonable! Youba, you really...!"

No matter how unreasonable Musashi felt, when the barrier was opened, Musashi had to admit that Yuba, who was constantly attacking her now, was the heroic swordsman, and there was no so-called real heroic swordsman hiding anywhere.

"My taboo is called Assassin Gluttony (heavy rain), and it is the heroic swordsman who came to take your life, Miyamoto Musashi!"

"What a pity... when you put that name on, I'll have no choice but to kill you, You Eight!"

It doesn't matter to Musashi how Yatachi became a heroic spirit and was summoned to become a heroic swordsman. No matter whether something excessive happened or not, she will settle the account with the magician behind the scenes.

"I finally drew my sword, are you finally willing to take me seriously, Musashi!"

Hold the Nodachi tightly in your hand, just as Musashi said, the method of using the Nodachi is the same as that of ordinary swords. This will not give full play to the advantages of the Nodachi. After all, you need to draw the Nodachi at the beginning of the battle. Knife, and it cannot be held other than the handle like a spear.

"One sword is enough. It's a pity that it will be such a scene to meet you again, but... I will still help you settle the score with the sorcerer, Youba!"

————————————————————————————————————————————

"My heart is still shaken. Is this why she hasn't reached the so-called 'empty' state yet?"

After observing the battle until now, Jinghu personally doesn't understand Musashi's effort to confirm the true identity of Tianmata.

After all, whether it is a heroic sword hero or not, the opponent's killing intent to kill him and the resentment that seems to swallow the whole person are not false.

But the source of this kind of killing intent is just a mess of strength. If it is Jing Hu, even if the other party is a friend, a former subordinate, or even a blood relative, you should not waste time. Or just break the head off.

"Speaking of which... have you Heroic Swordsmen disbanded? Why did you even come here to watch the battle?"

"Oh, that's right... I haven't seen such a big man like your Excellency, have I? After all, I'm just a farmer who earns his living by working in the fields in his life."

Next to Nagao Jinghu was a swordsman wearing a dark blue kimono. He looked slender but was actually very strong.

"Well... Sasaki Kojiro, even I understand that you are famous."

"Your Excellency, Military God, you are laughing. After all, I am not the real Sasaki Kojiro. Even whether Sasaki Kojiro really existed is widely debated, isn't it?"

Originally just a farmer, but because of his superb swordsmanship enough to stand at the top of a swordsman, he was given the name of Sasaki Kojiro, a world-renowned swordsman, by the Seat of Heroes.

In fact, if there is a real Sasaki Kojiro, it is difficult to beat this counterfeit Sasaki Kojiro in terms of swordsmanship.

"I see, the Seat of Heroes is really a random thing... Well, then you said that you wanted to come and see Musashi because you were given the name Kojiro Sasaki?"

Jing Hu wanted to attack at first, but this Sasaki Kojiro was obviously not a heroic swordsman who fell into frenzy, but just a swordsman who might not even be counted as a servant.

"No...I'm here to see His Excellency Matahachi."

"Huh? He... is there anything worth noting?"

"Yes, because if this is the swordsman named Sasaki Kojiro, he is a good counterexample."

Something flew over the heads of Jinghu and Kojiro, but upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a headband, and this spiral headband was undoubtedly the one Musashi wore on his head.

"Ah this...?"

In the confrontation with Musashi, Motoda Matahachi, who was indeed killed by a single knife, laughed out, and while using the characteristics of the heroic swordsman to remain immortal, he was only one step away from beheading Miyamoto Musashi.

"You can dodge this, you are indeed... a swordsman with 'eyes of heaven'."

"Yuba, no, what the hell are you..."

"My name is... Kojiro Sasaki!"

Chapter 23: The number of lives that can be honored

"Ba Yuqian..."

Facing this beautiful female warrior alone, Lixiang has never had the illusion that her chances of winning can be optimistic. If it is Ba Yuqian who has become frantic and disorderly after becoming a heroic swordsman, then she may still find a moment However, it is obvious that what is in front of her now is not just a zombie who only knows how to kill and resent.

"How did you get back to normal?"

It can be regarded as delaying time, but this point is equally important. At least according to the current information, Heroic Swordsman is not the product of blackening the original servant. If you insist, it is closer to killing the servant. , the product made by using their corpses to perform black magic, in a sense, it can be regarded as a high-profile version of the shadow follower.

It should be impossible for such an existence to return to its original state. Even if the servant is summoned again, it is impossible to have the original memory, but Ba Yuqian obviously still remembers what happened when he was a heroic swordsman, and even remembered that it was not at all. Possibly recalled memories from the Seventh Singularity.

"It's unbelievable, isn't it, and it's not just a return to normal, it's kind of...well, a new life."

Ba Yuqian saw her current appearance reflected on the sharp blade. With the blood of ghosts, she seemed to have become a real frenzied ghost for a period of time.

"It's really sinful, I... I don't understand whether it is Ba Yuqian now, or I have self-awareness, thinking that I am the undead remnant of Ba Yuqian."

"If it wasn't for personal resentment, or for the instinct of the heroic swordsman, there would be no need to fight between us."

"In that case... I heard a sense of disobedience from your mouth. I thought you were the kind of person who would eliminate all evil, Fujimaru Tachika."

Now in the mind of Ba Yuqian, all the records of the heroic spirit of Ba Yuqian are flowing. It is not just like reading a notebook that has nothing to do with her, but like she has experienced those things herself.

"At that time at the seventh singularity, although I regret that I did not survive to the end, I still knew that even if Jin Gu became your companion at that time and Tiamat gave you power, you still planned to use They were all killed."

"I don't think there is anything wrong with that judgment. Jingu's position at the time could only be said to be that the enemy of the enemy can cooperate temporarily, and his essence is still dangerous.

And Tiamat, no matter how pitiful and merciful she is, can't change the fact that she is just a disaster that must be destroyed for us. "

Thinking of those things now, Li Xiang doesn't feel that she has anything to regret, let alone that she has done anything wrong to Jin Gu. According to her position, if it wasn't because Jin Gu was still useful at that time, she should have thought of a way to kill the one who once wanted to destroy Man's creation.

"It doesn't make sense to mention these things now, Ba Yuqian?

Get out of the way, I still have a lot of important things to do, and even if it sounds arrogant to say that, human affairs will be over if I'm gone...  "

"Such a statement from a child whose age should be no more than an adult should be regarded as childish hubris...but sadly, it is true, and without you human reason will Usher in the end."

It sounds funny to say that the task of saving the world is only on a girl who can't even become an ordinary magician, but this world is so sad that this is the truth.

"That's why... I can't let you go. If you want to save humanity, it means... you want to slaughter the people here, the people in this world, and even every living thing, right? ?”

"The truth about the Lost Belt...Did Yoshikage Kira tell you? That guy must be the one who caused such a sudden change, and he's just as annoying as ever!"
