Chapter 863: Heroic Spirits Gather at Ryudou Temple
Chapter 863: Heroic Spirits Gather at Ryudou Temple
"Twin Blade Style, is this also a matter of fate? Or is it a way of expressing and proving something?"
Looking at the bamboo staff in his hand, Sasaki Kojiro's calm and collected demeanor showed a rare hint of melancholy.
In his pursuit of the ultimate sword technique, he had traveled far and wide, defeating countless masters. He dedicated his entire life to honing his sword skills, even discarding his own name, living only for the way of the sword.
But after a long time, spending every day solely on his sword practice, could he still not surpass that man?
"I am who I am, Miyamoto Musashi is Miyamoto Musashi. Just because I use Twin Blade Style, it doesn't mean I become him."
Undeniably, Miyamoto Musashi was indeed a formidable swordsman, and his Twin Blade Style was an extremely powerful sword technique.
But Sasaki Kojiro, have you now forgotten your initial aspirations? Who are you truly chasing after, Miyamoto Musashi or the essence of the sword itself?"
"Miyamoto Musashi is strong, but he doesn't represent the pinnacle of swordsmanship. Throughout history, countless masters of the sword shine like countless stars in the night sky.
It's not about the past or the future. By binding yourself with such constraints, you've already fallen short of Miyamoto Musashi."
With these words, Ye Cheng directly turned and walked up the steps of Ryudou Temple.
Sasaki Kojiro did not attempt to stop Ye Cheng but stood frozen in place. Finally, when he regained his actions to Ye Cheng, thanking him for his help.
Indeed, Sasaki Kojiro's pursuit of the highest level of swordsmanship led him to willingly become a nameless swordsman. If that was the case, why should he be fixated on a particular individual?
Swordsmanship knows no bounds. Becoming overly fixated on a single existence would be like setting that person as the pinnacle of swordsmanship, limiting one's own potential.
After defeating Sasaki Kojiro and entering Ryudou Temple, Ye Cheng quickly discovered a vast collection of magical array analysis data and comprehensive summaries within the temple.
With Ye Cheng's magical prowess, he instantly recognized that the data gathered here was related to the sealing of the Greater Holy Grail.
Upon seeing the temple filled with magical array information, along with various methods for breaking and adding seals, Ye Cheng was utterly bewildered.
He understood Medea's goal of obtaining the Holy Grail, but why was she researching these arrays? Moreover, in addition to the vast collection of array data, Ye Cheng also discovered modern firearms stored here, essentially making it a small armory.
This sight further bewildered Ye Cheng, who was already perplexed by the situation.
No, Medea's research on magical arrays could be considered her specialty, but what were these firearms for? Had the ancient sorceress now become a pacifist?
Could these weapons belong to her Master? But wasn't Kuzuki Souichirou skilled in unarmed combat and martial arts?
As Ye Cheng pondered over the weapons and data inside the temple, other individuals were also making their way to Ryudou Temple.
The first to arrive were Shirou Emiya and Saber.
Haruka Faruzuru and Spirit Servant Emiya went to the church to seek explanations from Kirei Kotomine, so the main group temporarily split up.
Originally, Shirou Emiya had planned to wait for Faruzuru to finish her tasks, but the chaos caused by the Dragon Fang Soldiers in Fuyuki City that night disrupted his plans.
As a man who aspired to become a "Hero of Justice," how could he ignore Medea's evil deeds? Through tracking and investigation, they learned that Medea's target this time was Ryudou Temple, so they arrived here first.
What they didn't expect was that just as they were about to enter Ryudou Temple, they were stopped by a handsome swordsman.

Sasuke, who had just experienced a breakthrough in his state of mind, had become stronger once again. However, due to his master's incompetence and Saber's severely weakened abilities, he was completely dominated by Sasuke, who had just improved.
"Your swordsmanship and martial arts are quite impressive. If I had encountered you at the start of the Holy Grail War, I might have faced a tough battle."
"Unfortunately, I recently fought a stronger swordsman and gained much from that battle. You are not my match now. My master only asked me to guard this place, so I will withdraw for now and spare your life."
Sasuke, who had just defeated a boss-level enemy, now faced Saber, who was equivalent to an elite monster. He was clearly very composed.
He could sense that Saber still had some strength left, but with such a level of power, it was impossible to withstand his Yanfan.
Without using his finishing move, he was still able to easily suppress his opponent. Once he unleashed "Yanfan," the opponent would be either dead or severely injured.
Sasuke was delighted to encounter so many strong swordsmen in one night, so he generously decided to let Saber and his party retreat.
However, in response to Sasuke's leniency, Saber tightly gripped the sword of promised victory in her hand, expressing her determination.

The appearance of Medea and Medusa immediately interrupted the battle between Sasuke and Saber.
U
To be honest, the consecutive appearances of Heroic Spirits made it difficult for Sasuke, who had achieved a calm and collected state of mind, to maintain his composure.
His master had only instructed him to guard the temple gate, but he never mentioned that so many people would come tonight!
Yes, Sasuke had indeed prayed for a worthy opponent to practice his swordsmanship while guarding the temple gate, but he never expected so many people to show up all at once.

T
But now, the others here were all participants in the Holy Grail War, and he obviously couldn't let them pass so easily, as it would compromise his master's base.
"Caster, why did you let those magical creatures attack ordinary people? You should know that the Holy Grail War prohibits us from harming ordinary people!"
Upon seeing Medea's appearance, Shirou and Saber became indignant and accused her.
However, Medea showed no concern for their accusations and replied with a carefree expression, "I, a witch who does no evil, chose to do so to achieve my own goals."
