"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I was suddenly blocked by a barrier that appeared out of nowhere and had to turn back. I think you should be able to open this barrier," Aozaki Touko said, appearing at the doorway.
Tia was stunned, then immediately understood. So Araya Souren's goal wasn't sleep magic, but to forcibly trap people in here!
Too bad, he was too naive.
Tia's lips curled up.
"A barrier?" Ryougi Shiki was taken aback, then smiled naturally, "Let's go, let's go out and see."
The group went outside. In a place invisible to the naked eye, there was a barrier that blocked everyone off, so the outside and inside couldn't touch at all.
Ryougi Shiki's eyes instantly turned into Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, emitting a brilliant blue light. She casually waved a small knife into her hand and thrust it into the barrier.
This seemingly reckless stab, however, pierced into something like a core. Instantly, this barrier began to crack from there.
"Huh? This is... a magic eye? These eyes are actually Mystic Eyes of Death Perception!" Aozaki Touko immediately said in surprise, "That client really asked me to protect an incredible person."
At the same time, Araya Souren, who was fighting Lancelot and Katsushika Hokusai, suddenly became violent again, trying to knock them both away.
But this time, Lancelot was prepared.
Katsushika Hokusai also put on a cloak at that moment and hid in the shadows, making it impossible for Araya Souren to find her.
Just as Araya Souren suddenly erupted, Lancelot's posture of holding the Holy Sword with both hands instantly changed. One hand held the Holy Sword, while the other hand suddenly had another equally holy sword, Arondight.
That's right, Lancelot used the dual-sword fighting style at this moment. And Lancelot took advantage of the moment Araya Souren erupted, and used dual-sword fighting to simultaneously activate his original Noble Phantasm.
"Knight of Owner, Arondight Overload!"
Lancelot activated Arondight's Noble Phantasm. Instantly, the Noble Phantasm collided with the erupting Araya Souren. At the same time, Lancelot wielded the Holy Sword and, in the Noble Phantasm release mode of Arondight, released the Holy Sword's Noble Phantasm.
Arondight's Noble Phantasm mode is to insert the Holy Sword into the enemy's body, while the Holy Sword's magic power overloads and overflows, releasing the magic power inside the enemy's body.
Therefore, Lancelot used this mode to release the Holy Sword's Noble Phantasm as well.
After the Noble Phantasms of the two Holy Swords simultaneously overloaded and collided with the erupting Araya Souren, Araya Souren was instantly knocked away, with no sign of withstanding it at all. He fell directly into the ground and was embedded in the cement floor.
Lancelot didn't give the opponent a chance to continue acting. Seeing signs of struggle, he immediately retrieved Arondight and released the Holy Sword's light alone.
"Slay the gods! Destroy evil! Release! The Holy Sword born from its origin! Holy Forging!"
Lancelot shouted out the release line of the Noble Phantasm that had once killed the giant octopus, and then Lancelot swung the Holy Sword heavily. Instantly, intense light gushed out from the Holy Sword, instantly submerging Araya Souren, who was embedded in the ground, in light.
When the light dissipated, Araya Souren had disappeared completely.
Lancelot breathed a sigh of relief, but at this moment, Katsushika Hokusai suddenly shouted, and then emerged from her hiding place, releasing her Noble Phantasm instantly.
"Painting start! Stand still! I'm going to paint you!" Katsushika Hokusai shouted.
That's right, this is the current Assassin's Noble Phantasm chant. Specifically speaking, Katsushika Hokusai is going to paint a portrait of someone, so she forcibly demands that the other person not move. Then Katsushika Hokusai starts painting the other person with various brushes and paints, thereby inflicting Noble Phantasm damage.
Araya Souren's resistance to the restraint of this Noble Phantasm was quite strong. He only got stuck for a few breaths before breaking free completely.
Araya Souren's origin is stillness, so he has great resistance to Assassin-class Katsushika Hokusai's Noble Phantasm.
At this time, the one suddenly attacking Lancelot was supposed to be Araya Souren, who should have completely disappeared in the Holy Sword's light. But Katsushika Hokusai forcibly restrained him at this moment. In just a few breaths, Araya Souren broke free and fled.
Unfortunately, in those few breaths, Lancelot had already reacted, and the Holy Sword directly cut Araya Souren's body into several pieces.
In other words, what broke free and fled was actually Araya Souren's body pieces. After these body pieces fled to a distance, they directly reassembled the body.
But precisely because of this, Lancelot and Katsushika Hokusai completely recognized Araya Souren's current situation.
It turned out that this Araya Souren had been completely occupied in body and soul by the giant octopus. The giant octopus possessed all of Araya Souren's abilities and memories. It was uncertain whether Araya Souren's soul was still there or not. And now they understood why Araya Souren's body, which had been cut in half, could still revive. This was the current situation.
Obviously, Araya Souren's body had been completely transformed by the giant octopus, completely breaking away from the category of humans.
Just then, Araya Souren's body suddenly began to twist irregularly, as if a giant grabbed the whole person from head to toe and twisted them in opposite directions.
In an instant... Araya Souren's body made a tooth-aching sound, and at the same time, Araya Souren's body was completely twisted into a pretzel shape, and then... boom... it was twisted and exploded.
"Ugh!" Katsushika Hokusai was startled. However, as a Servant, she was naturally well-informed and wouldn't be frightened. She was just surprised by the sudden situation.
"Did Miss Asagami Fujino take action?" Lancelot said with slight surprise, "She is indeed very powerful, but this method is a bit too cruel."
Tia had already learned about Araya Souren's fate through Lancelot, and the corners of her mouth twitched, speechless.
Tia, who was rushing over, suddenly noticed that Asagami Fujino's magic eyes were activated. Then she heard Lancelot's words and realized that Asagami Fujino had attacked Araya Souren.
However, shouldn't Asagami Fujino in this Lostbelt world be an absolutely elegant young lady? She doesn't understand what anger is, let alone killing people. But she kills people without hesitation. Is this really someone who has lost all malice and only has good thoughts left?
