TM : [120] Obtaining the Command Spells
🕑 Added 2023-11-10 16:03:01 +0000 UTC"This... this is—"
"I've temporarily sealed your magic circuit. It's my first time doing this kind of seal, but it seems to be successful."
"What..."
Before Kotomine Kirei could say anything, he passed out.
"Well... Kurokawa. The enemy is here." Namikaze Minato said, looking to the side.
Flames appeared out of thin air, melting the walls.
"So, you're Caster?" Lancer, Karna, looked at Namikaze Minato.
"Caster? Well... that's not wrong, but I'd prefer if you call me by my name. I am Namikaze Minato... Pleased to meet you, Karna," Namikaze Minato said, using information that Kazuya provided to him.
"I see. It seems you know my true name. In that case, I can't let you go." Said Karna, raising his spear towards Namikaze Minato.
"Seems so, but this is the city center after all, and there are many people. Isn't it better to find a place outside the city for a fight?" Namikaze Minato suggested.
"Agreed," Karna tilted his neck and said to his own Master, "It suits my taste."
"That's good," Namikaze Minato smiled. "Just don't lose track of me!"
Swoosh—
In the next moment, Namikaze Minato ran out through the burnt opening in the wall, following Karna.
Karna didn't say anything and followed Namikaze Minato in spirit form.
"So, this is spiritualization," Namikaze Minato felt the strange aura nearby that kept following him. "Quite an effective technique. I'd like to try it too if possible, but it seems I can't do it now."
"How about it? Do you stand a chance?"
"I don't know... first, I need to see if I can break through his defense," Namikaze Minato pondered internally. After the recent contact, he could now tell that even if he didn't speak out, just thinking it in his mind, Kazuya would receive all the information. In other words... there's no privacy.
However, it's just about thirty minutes anyway.
His current state in this world could be considered as a "phantom spirit," fascinating indeed.
"If I can break through his defense, I'm confident I can win. But if none of my techniques can harm him... even if my speed is fast, it won't be effective. This Servant seems to have the advantage against me with that tough shell," Namikaze Minato sighed slightly. "Honestly, I'm not very good at dealing with this kind of turtle-like ninja... no, Servant."
"Hmm? That place ahead looks good," Namikaze Minato said, looking at the nearby forest.
"Another place like this," Kazuya smiled slightly. The greenery coverage in Japan is quite extensive, and the entire Fuyuki City is surrounded by the sea and mountains... However, it seems that this area is also going to be destroyed, following the destruction of the forest earlier.
...
"They stopped." Watching Namikaze Minato stopping in the distance and Karna, who caught up and revealed his form, Archer, who had been observing from a distance, solidified his form and observed the distant battle, simultaneously conveying the information to Emiya Kiritsugu.
"I see."
Kiritsugu Emiya, who had been calculating how to dismantle the Holy Grail, said, "However, hasn't it been a long time since any Heroic Spirits were attracted there?"
"No, not at all. I haven't detected the aura of any other Heroic Spirits."
"Is that so... well, now Caster and Lancer are in battle. Neither of them is a servant you can defeat through surprise attacks. However, do you have any guesses about the true identity of that Caster?"
"No, I can't figure it out. He seems to possess a very high-level summoning technique. The ability to summon other Heroic Spirits to himself. I guess that's why he's rated as Caster..."
...
"So, how about this place?" Namikaze Minato looked around.
"It's good."
"Well..." Namikaze Minato took out a set of kunai from his hand and said, "Namikaze Minato, Fourth Hokage of Konohagakure—let's go!"
"Son of a charioteer, Karna, come."
Swoosh swoosh swoosh—
In the next moment, countless kunai rained down on all sides.
Namikaze Minato also instantly appeared behind Karna, and a blue ball of light attacked his back.
Boom—
Flames erupted around Karna. Namikaze Minato, who attacked, was completely blown away in the explosion.
"I see, even with such powerful defense, you're still cautious," Namikaze Minato, hiding behind a tree, shielded his presence and said.
As a ninja, this is basic.
Just now, he directly used the Flying Thunder God and Shadow Clone technique.
He sent his shadow clone to test Karna, while he quickly hid. After all, the situation was unclear, and he needed to conduct a couple of rounds of probing to assess the enemy's strength.
And unfortunately, even the Flying Thunder God seal he used just now was shattered before he could leave it on Karna.
He could only hope that the last shadow clone he used would be of some use.
Shadow Clone Technique with kunai—
Clang clang clang clang—
Seeing Namikaze Minato, who suddenly appeared, Karna blocked his attacks with the spear. In the next moment, lightning spread out around him, shattering Namikaze Minato that appeared behind him once again.
"I see, is it these things?"
Looking at where Namikaze Minato appeared three times, Karna seemed to understand something. Flames spread out around him, and the kunai on the ground were melted!
Swoosh—
Namikaze Minato was forced to come out from behind the tree and said with some emotion, "Truly deserves to be called a top-tier heroic spirit. Flying Thunder God was broken so quickly."
"Is that all you've got? In that case, I'll have to get serious."
Listening to Karna's words, Namikaze Minato shrugged, "Although there are indeed other techniques... I guess it's time to use my trump card. Otherwise, your defense is indeed terrifying. The pressure is on a different level compared to the little girl I encountered earlier."
Saying that, Namikaze Minato began to emit a golden glow—
Soon, the golden light covered him, forming a golden cloak.
"Well then, I'm going all out!"
Karna also became serious, feeling the pressure. He gripped the spear in his hand tightly, "Come—"
