"This place... we can't just walk in like that."
The newcomer, holding a two-meter-long samurai sword, spoke with considerable flair.
This was a rather handsome man; he simply stood there casually, yet he gave off an impression of being flawless.
He was smiling, but Musashi could sense a murderous aura emanating from him!
That was the aura of one of their own.
Are you a swordsman too?
As Musashi spoke, he silently placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.
Once swordsmen's eyes meet, battle is inevitable. This unwritten rule is etched in the hearts of every swordsman, and she believed her opponent was no exception.
Looking at Musashi before him, the man laughed as if chanting.
"Finally, an interesting opponent has arrived? And it seems to be a Saber, how lucky!" The man laughed happily, as if he had finally encountered something interesting, and then, without any hesitation, revealed the most closely guarded secret of the Holy Grail War.
"Servant, Assassin, Sasaki Kojiro, nice to meet you."
Chapter 345 Six Paths and Five Wheels vs. Secret Sword Swallow Returns
Kojiro revealed his identity without hesitation.
Normally, a Servant's true name cannot be easily revealed. After all, Servants are renowned heroes, and revealing their true name means that all their secrets will be known to others.
Kojiro's behavior was naturally quite shocking.
Musashi was also shocked, but her shock was entirely due to the name Sasaki Kojiro!
Don't forget! She's Miyamoto Musashi!
Although there is no real Kojiro in either Lostbelt or Pan-Human History, both Kojiro and Miyamoto Musashi had definitely heard the story of Kojiro and Miyamoto Musashi.
However, Kojiro didn't know why Musashi was surprised. He thought Musashi was surprised because he had revealed his real name right away, so he continued...
"What's wrong with that expression? Isn't it only natural to announce your name before a battle? Especially when facing a beautiful woman like you."
Upon hearing Kojiro's words, Musashi paused for a moment, and then...
"Hahaha! You really embody the spirit of a swordsman. That's true, isn't it natural for Heroic Spirits to exchange names before battle?" Musashi looked at Kojiro with amusement, and then, in turn, straightened up and began to introduce herself loudly!
"I'm……"
“No need.” However, Kojiro interrupted Musashi directly, “Are you the kind of person who has to respond just because you know someone’s name? For us, isn’t it enough to understand the enemy with our swords?”
"Hey! You're being very rude!" Musashi was annoyed. What was wrong with this guy?! Couldn't he just wait for her to finish speaking?!
"Politeness? Such etiquette is of no use to me. This is fine, Saber! Come on! Let me see why you bear the name Saber!"
Kojiro gripped the longsword in his hand, and seeing Kojiro like this, Musashi shook his head helplessly and then gripped his own two swords!
"Dual swords? Interesting. Well then, I won't hold back!"
Kojiro suddenly moved! In the moonlight, Kojiro's long sword gleamed with a cold light!
when! ! !
Kojiro's attack landed, and Musashi's twin swords met it head-on! If Kojiro's attack was like a swift moonlight and a gust of wind, then Musashi's twin swords were like a sudden rain of thunder!
when!when!when!
Kojiro: Strength C, Endurance E, Agility A+, Magic E, Luck A
His attributes weren't particularly impressive, at most they were those of a top-tier Servant. Yet, he held his own against Musashi's impressive stats of Strength B, Endurance B, Agility B, Magic A++, and Luck B!
This! This is the effect of swordsmanship!
Kojiro's sword doesn't strike straight; it travels in strange arcs!
when!when!when!
However, Kojiro's attacks were never able to break through Musashi's defenses!
Fifth move! A!
fast! !! !!
With the help of this skill, Musashi's agility was upgraded from B to B+! And with his dual swords, none of Kojiro's attacks could break through Musashi's defense!
"Your swordsmanship is quite good; you truly live up to the name Kojiro." Musashi didn't hold back her praise. And Kojiro's swordsmanship certainly deserved her compliment.
Kojiro, however, showed no pride. He looked at Musashi in front of him and said, "You are not bad either. My swordsmanship is extremely strange. Most people cannot even withstand the first strike. You have managed to withstand so many rounds. You are worthy of the name Saber."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, the two clashed again!
when!when!when!
Sparks from clashing weapons flashed in the darkness as the two figures moved faster and faster! Kojiro continued his offensive, but Musashi couldn't possibly defend forever!
Simply going to defense isn't her style!
"That's about enough, it's my turn!"
Swordsmanship! No Void! A!
The pinnacle of neon swordsmanship!
brush!brush!brush!
The twin swords were swung faster and faster, but this time Kojiro did not attack; instead, he frantically dodged.
His A+ agility allows him to dodge every attack, but he can only avoid them.
"Hey! If you just avoid this one battle, it'll be going to drag on until tomorrow night!"
"Oh dear, oh dear, please forgive my rudeness. Your two swords are both very powerful Noble Phantasms, right? If we keep clashing, my sword will break."
Kojiro's sword is indeed of mediocre quality. During his fight against Saber in FSN, it was precisely because the sword bent slightly during the battle that a gap appeared in his final Swallow Return technique.
It was this tiny opening that allowed Kojiro to finally fall before the King.
Musashi: "Oh? So, you're just going to hide like this for the whole day?"
Kojiro: "Of course not. Now it's time for you to witness my secret sword technique. Use your true strength, or... you might die."
brush!
Kojiro gripped his sword tightly, a stance that Musashi had never seen before!
"The Secret Sword!!"
The long sword was swung out!
brush!brush!brush!
"What?!" Musashi was shocked by the terror of this sword strike! She possessed the Heavenly Eye! It was precisely because she possessed the Heavenly Eye that she was able to see just how terrifying this sword strike was!
One sword strike, yet three swords came slashing at her!
Reaching the realm of magic through swordsmanship! Transcending time and space, summoning three swords simultaneously through multi-dimensional convoluted phenomena! This is the secret sword that even birds cannot escape!
"Yan Hui!"
Three swords slashed towards Musashi, and Kojiro seemed to see Musashi's beautiful body being cut into four pieces by his sword!
However, if Kojiro has such a special skill, doesn't Musashi have one too?
boom! boom! boom! boom!
Kojiro swung three swords, but a four-armed deity blocked his way!
"Noble Phantasm Unleashed! Six Paths, Five Wheels? Kurikara Celestial Phenomenon!"
The three swords were blocked by three hands, but Musashi's Niou also has a third hand!
"Kojiro! Witness my sword strike! Witness the ultimate slash of the [Void] Realm, the [Zero] Sword."
With a single, massive swing of the Benevolent King, the four sword pressures of earth, water, fire, and wind directly engulfed Kojiro's Swallow Return! In an instant, the three swords were pulverized into fragments by the Buddha's Sword, which cleaved through karma, curses, and misfortunes!
This! Is Musashi's sword!
Chapter 346 Matou Zouken's Good Luck
The moment the last rays of light engulfed Kojiro's body, Kojiro knew he had lost.
However, a smile appeared on his face.
The young swordswoman before him withdrew her Celestial Phenomenon, and he simply looked at her and said...
"You won. Now... can you tell me your name?"
The battle was over. He wanted to remember her name; at the very least, he wanted to know who had defeated him.
Upon hearing Kojiro's question, Musashi silently sheathed his twin swords, then proudly puffed out his chest and said...
"My name is Shinmen Musashi-no-kami Fujiwara Genshin. You may also call me by another name, Miyamoto Musashi!"
"Miyamoto...Musashi!"
