Chapter 112: Assassin—Sasaki Kojirō!

One Piece World.

Looking at the terrifying explosion on the screen, Sengoku's eyes were filled with regret.

This Archer's power was simply a deadly weapon against pirates!

He did not even need to kill anyone!

Out on the open sea, with no cover and no obstruction, he only needed to fire an arrow from tens of thousands of meters away and destroy a ship!

When the time came, the fleet could surround them afterward. Those Devil Fruit users who fell into the sea would have no path to escape!

Moreover, the arrow itself was small, and its speed was unbelievably fast. It would basically be extremely difficult to intercept!

Naruto World.

Feeling the waves of power coming from the screen, the Five Kage's faces were filled with lingering fear.

How was this an Archer!?

This was practically a humanoid, self-propelled Tailed Beast Cannon!!

From the perspective of a village, he was even more threatening than a Tailed Beast!

If he hid outside the village and fired an arrow like that from the shadows, there would be no way to defend against it. The consequences would be completely devastating!

Fortunately, this person was not in their world!

After several breaths, the red sky dimmed and returned to darkness.

In the cemetery, not only had the ashes of the dead been scattered away, but an enormous crater had also been left behind!

The scorching heat of thousands of degrees still had not faded. Inside the crater, pools of lava formed from melted sand were scattered everywhere, while undying flames continued to rise!

But within that hellish scene, that crimson Asura still stood in place, its eyes radiating a terrifying scarlet light!

It had revived again!

Even after every cell had been destroyed, it was still the same!

To him, death seemed to be a false proposition!

Naruto World!

Hidan was dumbfounded!

Although he also had an immortal body, if he were blown to pieces, there was no way he could survive!

So which evil god did this big brother believe in to be this fierce!?

DC World.

Lucifer slowly opened his eyes, and a flash of red light passed through them.

In the next second, he revealed a trace of surprise and said,

"Tsk, tsk. It actually resembles the divinity of Zeus's son, Heracles, somewhat."

"But there is still far too little of it."

In a distant ravine, two figures stood up!

Emiya Shirou was both shocked and furious. Tohsaka Rin's white-haired Archer had almost blown him and Saber up together, while that same Berserker could revive again and again!

The current battle situation was far too unfavorable!

But at that moment, he saw that the white-haired girl did not continue attacking. Instead, she left with that terrifying Servant!

Shirou immediately let out a sigh of relief, but in the next second, he coughed up blood!

That violent explosion earlier had still indirectly injured him!

Fortunately, under the influence of the scabbard inside his body, his wounds began to heal!

The scene began to skip forward again!

Afterward, because Emiya Shirou could not provide Saber with enough mana to remain invisible, he had her stay at his home!

Tohsaka Rin investigated the building and discovered that the life force of a large number of victims had gathered at Ryūdō Temple!

Shirou used his body to help Rin block a fatal attack. The two formed an alliance, and other scenes flashed past one after another.

At this point, the timeline had already become clear.

After seeing Shirou block a certain-death attack for her without the slightest hesitation, Rin's heart trembled.

Some vague, unclear emotion that had always been buried deep in her heart seemed to finally take root at this moment.

It was not until Emiya Shirou left Tohsaka Rin's house that the scene returned to normal again.

On the empty street, the boy suddenly stopped and spoke toward the empty space behind him.

"Come out."

As his voice fell, Red Archer's concealed figure appeared.

He wore a faint smile that was not quite a smile, and there seemed to be undercurrents surging in his eyes.

"What's wrong? Don't you need a bodyguard? After all, Saber isn't by your side."

Shirou replied coldly:

"I don't need a bodyguard overflowing with killing intent!"

Outside the screen, Saber frowned slightly.

She did not know whether it was an illusion.

Although killing one another was normal in the Holy Grail War, she felt that this man's killing intent toward Emiya Shirou was far too intense!

Looking back now, that arrow he had fired earlier to kill the immortal Berserker seemed more like it had been meant to kill Emiya Shirou!

Emiya Shirou believed that the other party was so impatient to kill him because he wanted to seize the Holy Grail and fulfill his wish.

But the latter calmly stated that he would not act against Rin's will!

And in his eyes, the Holy Grail was nothing more than a wicked box that realized humanity's greed. He had no desire for such a thing at all!

Hearing this, Shirou was stunned.

"Servants... don't they participate in this battle in order to fulfill their wishes?"

Red Archer immediately sneered coldly:

"We Servants have no freedom of thought. The only one summoned by her own will is your Saber!"

Outside the screen.

Hearing this, Shirou's eyes widened violently, and he turned his head to look at Saber.

Artoria silently lowered her head.

Although at first she had only wanted to protect, little by little, it seemed that something else had been added to that desire.

At this moment, Red Archer continued:

"Heroic Spirits... are devices summoned by the will of others, just tools to be thrown away after use!"

"When there is a need, they are summoned. Once the aftermath is cleaned up, they disappear. Their will is stripped away, and they forever become cleaners for humanity."

Shirou could not accept this explanation at all and loudly refuted him:

"Calling them tools...!"

"Saber is a living person. If there is something she doesn't want to do, she will refuse it. I won't force her!"

"Besides, after you came here, don't you also have the right to choose?"

Red Archer smiled faintly.

"Perhaps. After becoming Servants, we regain the humanity we once had in life and remember our former attachments and regrets."

"Try imagining how Heroic Spirits feel after dying without fulfilling their wishes, only to still be summoned and ordered around by humanity after death."

"All of this originates from their desire for the Holy Grail."

Listening to the other party's somewhat chaotic words, Emiya Shirou became even more unable to understand.

"Then why did you say you don't need the Holy Grail?"

Red Archer replied calmly:

"Because I have no wish that I failed to fulfill. I became a Heroic Spirit after realizing my wish!"

"So I no longer desire anything."

As his voice fell, his figure disappeared once again. He had actually left directly.

Inside the room.

Tohsaka Rin looked at the silent Red Archer. Not only was she not angry because of those words, she became even more worried.

What the other party had said did not sound like he was free of desire.

Instead, it sounded as though some obsession within him had grown even deeper.

Emiya Residence.

Artoria became even more unable to understand.

Those words from the other party sounded as though they had been deliberately spoken for Shirou to hear.

Inside the church.

Gilgamesh, who had already obtained a human body, had eyes full of dissatisfaction.

Although he was somewhat surprised that a human could become a Heroic Spirit after fulfilling his wish, the term "ordered around" belonged exclusively to mongrels!

It had nothing to do with him!

The scene fast-forwarded again.

Shirou and Rin removed the soul-devouring bounded field set up inside the school. Matou Shinji found Shirou alone, admitted that he was the creator of the bounded field, and demanded that Shirou form an alliance with him, only to be refused. Several scenes flashed past one after another.

Outside the screen, Matou Shinji's face was deathly pale and extremely ugly.

Now that the matter of him nearly using the entire school as a blood sacrifice had been exposed like this, one could imagine just how strong the reaction from ordinary people would be and how great the impact would become!

Not only would he definitely have to say goodbye to his life as a student, but even the Mage's Association might arrest him for the sake of public opinion!

Because once this video appeared, the magecraft world and the normal world would inevitably begin to merge.

At that time, he would become the perfect scapegoat!

And his family would never fight the Mage's Association for a useless waste without magical energy!

The more Matou Shinji thought about it, the more terrified he became. For a moment, he could not even stand properly and collapsed onto the ground.

Suddenly, madness appeared in his eyes!

No!

There was still one chance!

The Holy Grail. As long as he obtained the Holy Grail, he would definitely be able to change all of this!

In the shadows of the room, Rider Medusa looked coldly at her disgraceful Master, feeling a wave of satisfaction in her heart.

After returning home, Shirou began practicing magecraft under Saber's company until he finally exhausted all his mana and fell asleep late at night.

But in the latter half of the night, the magus Caster launched a surprise attack.

By the time Saber noticed, Shirou had already been captured.

Following the residual traces of magical energy, she quickly found Ryūdō Temple!

But just as she arrived at the temple gate, a man dressed in ancient clothing and carrying a long sword on his back blocked her path!

Saber sensed danger, raised the sword of light in her hand, pointed it at the man, and asked:

"I ask you, which Servant are you?"

"Assassin—Sasaki Kojirō!"

Record of Ragnarok World.

Inside the arena.

On humanity's side, Sasaki Kojirō, who had yet to enter the stage, revealed a shocked expression!

He had not expected that there would actually be another version of himself in another world!

Moreover, judging from that sword-bearing posture, it was clearly not merely the same name!

On the gods' side.

The Sea God Poseidon narrowed his eyes slightly.

"An alternate counterpart from another world, is it?"

At this moment, Zeus smiled and said,

"Observe him for a while, Poseidon. Perhaps the two of them possess similar techniques."

"If that is the case, you will have seized the initiative."

Poseidon smiled disdainfully.

"A mere human. How could he possibly be worth mentioning?"

Zeus smiled and did not reply.

Pokémon World.

Jessie and Meowth looked at James, and for a moment, they had no idea what was going on.

The person on the screen was not only also called Kojirō, but even his voice was exactly the same as James's. How strange. Meow~

Saber was stunned!

The reason Servants did not reveal their names was because enemies could use that information to discover their weaknesses!

She had only asked the other party's class, but she had not expected him to reveal his identity as well!

Seeing this, Sasaki Kojirō smiled faintly.

"Before crossing blades, giving one's name is only natural, is it not?"

Saber's expression instantly became solemn.

"Since you have taken the initiative to give your name, then as a matter of courtesy, I too shall not refuse to answer with my own!"

"My name is..."

"No need!"

Kojirō interrupted Saber's words. As he walked forward, he drew the long sword from his back and spoke with absolute confidence.

"If I wish to know my enemy, then this sword... is enough!"
