I'm Shenji, what are you doing?

Shinji's sudden attack was so sudden, so fast, and so tricky that even the most professional assassins would rate him highly.

But for Shirou, who has reached the highest level of both sword (tachi) and body skills, this surprise attack is still a little short of the mark.

Although the young man in black monastic uniform was frightened, he instinctively took a step back to get out of the scope of the sickle blade. While dodging, he still had time to comment:

"It's amazing. I didn't expect you to be able to carry out such an attack. A few more attacks might really hurt me - but how many more times can your body last like this?"

"Continue until you die!"

When Shirou was talking, Shinji didn't stop at all, waving his sickle in pursuit, while the "Qingyun Sword" above his head continued to emit black wind and fierce flames. Just as he said at the beginning, he was going to kill the bastard in front of him and avenge Justeza.

"Oh? Then I want to see what happens to your tattered body - huh?"

Halfway through, Shirou couldn't continue because he saw that Shinji's exposed wound had stopped bleeding at some point, and the skin near the wound also turned purple, with a tendency to gradually deepen. And the knife mark that penetrated from the back to the chest became smaller and smaller as the purple color became darker and darker, and finally disappeared.

"Is this - self-recovery?"

Shirou's eyes flashed with curiosity.

The mysterious world is full of wonders, and many special magic and talents can do this. The most famous one is vampires. But even among vampires, there are only a handful of people who can recover so quickly.

"It's interesting. How did you do it? Was it some kind of ability that was added to you when you were 'receiving flesh'? Or was it a special gift? Or was it some secret technique that required a huge price?"

The verbosity, whether it was asking or talking to himself, did not affect Shirou's movements. Without the suppression of "Medusa Gaze", he returned to his original level in both swinging the sword and moving. The mind, skills, body, eyes, hands and body have reached a high degree of unity, making every movement of his move like flowing clouds and flowing water, exuding a wonderful sense of harmony.

Either he steps back to dodge, or he steps sideways, or he raises his sword to block, taking all of Shinji's fierce attacks.

Not only that, between the extension and retraction of the sickle blade, Shirou's sword could always pass through the extremely short gap, and it didn't take long before several more wounds were added to Shinji's body.

Shenji didn't care about this, as if he had just been bitten by an ant twice, and continued to maintain the offensive, focusing on killing the target in front of him.

On the contrary, Shirou's face became more and more solemn. Just looking at his expression, he was the one who was at a disadvantage.

"No, it's not as simple as self-recovery."

Shirou could clearly feel that as the battle progressed, the magic power in Shenji's body, as well as his attack power and movement speed, had increased significantly. Especially after being injured, the rate of increase would increase significantly.

This completely subverts common sense. Any self-recovery ability requires a certain price, such as magic power, vitality, or other powers. Even the perfect vampire "true ancestor" who is known as the immortal body of the night is no exception.

But Shen Er was different. The recovery from his injuries not only did not make him lose his strength, but instead increased him in all directions. Shirou can only think of one "ability" that meets this condition.

"'The Roar of the Flawed Beast'?"

The reason why it is a question rather than an affirmation is because Shinji is no longer a servant after "receiving flesh", and Shirou's referee privilege cannot see his information.

Without saying a word, Shinji's attacks became stronger and stronger. Every blow was injected with a powerful force that exceeded A level. Even though Shirou's "Stacking Strength" technique had been integrated into his instincts, some of his arms were numb, and he was unable to block or counterattack. The number of times began to decrease slowly.

"Secret Sword·Yan Hui."

Once again, he used magical footwork to get around to Shenji's side. The dimension was twisted at this moment. The same knife struck Shen Er's body from three different directions at the same time, pulling out three wounds that penetrated the entire back and thigh.

However, this time, Shinji did not fall down. As soon as the blood spurted out, the surrounding muscles began to squirm rapidly, sealing the cut blood vessels almost instantly. After carefully sensing the magic power flowing out of the wound, Shirou finally confirmed his judgment.

"It is indeed Spartacus's Noble Phantasm, but he has already left the stage. How could you-? No, it is enough to see through the true form of your ability to recover."

As the mastermind behind that shocking explosion, how could Shirou not know how to deal with Spartacus?

The best way to deal with this kind of humanoid bomb that gets bigger and stronger and can self-destruct is to kill it quickly without giving it a chance to evolve.

With a sharp breath, Shirou's figure instantly became blurry.

The next moment, he was behind Shenji, holding the knife in both hands in a "flat-faced" posture and starting to step forward.

At this time, the pictures and breaths that Shinji could capture were still at the time when Shirou was raising his energy. This was the highest state of "Shukuchi" - "Dimension Jump", and what followed was the sword (tachi) and "Shokuchi". The dual ultimate fusion of "earth".

The first step was very light, just a small movement, but after the second step landed, the sound of the first step was heard.

After the second step, Shirou is only one step away from Shinji. The third step that follows will completely shorten the distance to zero, and the sword will also superimpose three thrusts at the same time, causing a local "event collapse" , destroying Shinji's heart before his recovery power reaches the level of instant repair.

This is exactly what the name says - "one step to surpass the sound, two steps to be seamless, three steps to make a perfect sword!"

However, just before the third step was about to fall and the terrifying murderous sword was about to be handed out, another change occurred.

The place chosen by Shirou as the landing point for the third step suddenly appeared with a dense black shadow, and as he fell, it quickly grew into sharp spikes.

At the critical moment, Shirou forcibly interrupted the thrust and used his sword to hit the ground, thus avoiding the disaster of having his feet penetrated by the spikes.

After landing, the young priest's eyes became more serious than ever.

"The 'King of Capital Punishment', no, the 'Blood-stained King of Ghosts'!"

With the precedent of "The Roar of the Flawed Beast", Shirou could easily identify the true form of these spikes.

Seeing that the enemy had seen through his methods, Shenji simply stopped covering up, and the long handle of the "Snake Hunting Scythe" hit the ground hard, shouting out the true name of the Noble Phantasm.

"Kazikli Bey, the blood-stained king ghost!"

In sight, all the places with entities were covered by black shadows, and rafter piles grew out, completely blocking the evasion space around the altar.

PS: Some book friends said that they didn’t understand the previous chapter. In fact, Shinji followed the hole made by the giant and rushed directly into the altar, and was discovered by Shirou. But since some people don't understand, it's the traitor's responsibility - the previous chapter has been revised, and those who are interested can go back and read it again.
