Capítulo 38: Extermination
Fuyuki, Japan,
Shinto District,
Decrepit posture, clearly somewhat disabled and yet, full of ambition, emotion, drive and confidence. Why would she who was the Avatar of Bishamonten not choose this person as a Master? Not to mention the strange reaction of the world to his presence.
He was one worthy of her servitude and one worthy of helping her, if she was wrong then he could be easily dealt with.
That was precisely why Nagao Kagetora, a warrior from the warring states era, the ruler of Echigo and one hailed as a God of War pointed her lance at the raven haired youngster standing with the help of a cane, the dull place they were in wasn't what she would have preferred for something like this but oh well.
"I ask you to be my Master."
Kagetora spoke again, staring down at the man before her.
"Why?"
The Lancer went silent, he was right, why? Or rather, why would he do that?
"Aha, because I'm strong!" She bumped her fist against her chest, smiling widely, that was reason enough for humans right?
"I'm the one with one eye." Roman answered sarcastically, pointing to the sky with one finger, specifically at the lightning and fire flying about the Shinto district at the moment... That and the shouts of the church's combatants who again and again tried to interfere with the servants, dying right after.
As for explanations? He didn't really care. Fuyuki was mostly destroyed in Fate/Zero and they could explain it away, this was arguably smaller in scale.
"I suppose so." Kagetora placed a hand on her chin, appearing thoughtful, "Nobunaga is here, as she is, none hold a chance of beating her alone." That was why she wanted a Master, to be able to fight the Demon King at her fullest... Though, whether she knew or not, her Divinity as a War God would make winning nigh impossible.
"Ja, I noticed that." Roman nodded back, he could always go gung ho and nuke everything but even that wasn't guaranteed to work against the Archer Class servant. Gilgamesh, one of their strongest, had Divinity too.
"Excuse me, I would like to not be ignor-"
"You later."
Kagetora interrupted her, sending a glance her way, that seemed to be enough to momentarily shut the Assassin up.
"If she were to be beaten, I would willingly pass away...." The Lancer's grin widened to epic proportions, "Or you could try fighting the Avatar of Bishamonten to death?"
"Ooh, how scary." Roman remained sarcastic even when faced with the spear of the War God of Echigo. Was it confidence? Or arrogance?
"We... don't really have anyone that could support you." Irisviel interjected, not willing to let Roman put his life in harm's way again. That revival may have been a one time thing right?
"..." Artoria stayed silent, gripping Excalibur tightly, why were these people fighting mid-day? So many would get caught up. She didn't get it, especially when this could just as easily be done at night!
"The one eye can easily do it." Kagetora was confident in her own assumption, weren't the currently engaging servants his? One more would barely be a problem then.
"....Emotionless wreck.." Roman was, as always, barely cordial with even a God.
"....." The Lancer's expression froze, what? How the hell did he notice? No one did! It was a fluke, definitely, "How?" She spoke out in barely concealed curiosity, the smile on her face disappearing, replaced by an emotionless and bland face.
Born as someone different, the War God never understood human emotion, wearing a smile as a compromise so as not to be ostracised.... Having someone see through that within moments of their meeting was a shock to even her.
"Trick of the trade." Roman answered calmly, he had to learn to notice such things to survive all the attempts made on his life and avoid those that sought to use him, her smile wasn't even a convincing one.
"I would definitely like for you to be my Master." Kagetora jumped down from her horse, coming uncomfortably close to the Magician with an eerie smile etched across her face. She had to know more about this, it wasn't about just needing a Master anymore... This had never happened before, he HAD to be her Master now.
"Saber, get ready.." Irisviel backed away cautiously, wary of the strange servant, she was behaving in a crazy manner and Roman was most likely in danger.. Artoria complied, gripping Excalibur with both hands and taking a stance..
"Kill Assassin and you have a deal." Roman placed his hands on his cane, meeting Kagetora with an equally eerie smile, he would have a few servants dead this day, no matter the cost... The Magus Association would be moving in soon.
"Then my spear is yours, temporarily..."
The War God of Echigo turned about, facing the smiling Assassin with a grin.
"Is it finally time~?" Shuten Douji was excited at the prospect of her first actual fight.
"Your confidence is unbecoming of an Assassin, but, praiseworthy! Here I come, ready yourself!"
Roman placed a finger on his ear, "Consider Shuten dealt with."
Why wouldn't he use this situation to his advantage?
With a massive deafening sonic boom that destroyed the alley they were in, the two servants begun their clash.
-
"HAHAHA..." Laughing madly, Ibaraki Douji continually swung the massive bone sword in her hand, releasing waves upon waves of bright flames. A massive red hand flew about, crashing into Raikou each time she tried to engage her and forcing her to back away.
"Is this all you can do?! Is this what beat my sister?! Laughable!" The Leader of the Oni was having a good time, burning everything in sight to the ground.
Molten glass, roads littered with craters, ruined buildings and burning corpses, nothing but destruction was left in the wake of their clash.
"Can you please stop playing around?" Tamamo no Mae spoke in an annoyed voice, holding up a hand towards the sky. It was getting stupid, she was the one having to maintain the bounded field that kept their collateral damage from reaching even further into the city!
"This is not playing around." Minamoto no Raikou exhaled deeply, lowering her massive katana and placing a hand directly over the blade itself, "I'm waiting for the other one to show up so I can fell them both... together." The Berserker's voice held immense hate and loathing for her opponent, she was only being patient..
"Consider Shuten dealt with."
That patient went away the moment her Master's voice spoke in her head, this rampaging Oni was the only one to deal with now? "That's great.. Mo- I'm proud of youu~." She hummed, praising her Master with a happy smile before once again becoming extremely serious, it was time to get down to business.
Ibaraki's massive red hand came crashing down from above... though, the Oni suddenly felt as if something ominous was about to happen.... Unfortunately for her, it was a little too late now as Raikou had already swung her blade.
"Die, pest."
Sound seemingly drained out and an invisible force passed through the red hand. The next moment, blood sprayed and it fell in two clean halves.
"D-Damn you!" Ibaraki winced only for a moment, the pain was a lot but she could bear it.
With that in mind, she shot for Raikou with her blade pulled back only to be forced into changing course mid way by dozens of thunder covered arrows, "Quiet down, pest." Lightning coalesced, coming down with a massive boom and crashing directly with Ibaraki Douji.
She screamed, her flesh turning a charred and rough black from the attack.
As if that wasn't enough already, before the Oni could recollect herself, numerous weapons, swords, spears, flails, short swords, rapiers, were sent hurling towards at several times the speed of sound, instantly tearing through her flesh...
The figure of the little girl was a gruesome one.
Her eyes wide open, her flesh was burnt and impaled by different weapons in multiple places... Still, the Oni stood on her feet, shaky and stumbling sure but standing nonetheless, "AH....AH.... Sorry Shuten,... I'll be leavin'....."
"Rabid dog."
"HAHA!"
What seemed to be a cry of pain turned into a mad roar, a mad laughter. Prana seemingly surged, the air caught fire and the previously split arm came back, "I'll show you....what a real Oni IS!"
Ibaraki Douji regretted not being able to spend more time with her beloved sibling but,.... This was probably it.. Three servants?.... That was a little too unfair wasn't it?.... A single tear rolled down her cheek as she laughed and the air around her caught fire.
"Run wild, sweet fire!
Rashoumon Daiengi!"
A massive explosion rocked the earth.

Getting back to the topic of Bloodborne Hunter in Nasuverse.
Can we assume that he could be both an anchor and a gate for the Great Ones there to enter the Nasuverse?
Or the Great Ones in this case could be the Nasuverse's own Great Ones (Sut-Typhon *Salem Singularity*, Nyarlathotep *BBhotep is a thing* etc)?
We could set that shit up in the London Singularity, give it a whole Bloodborne scenario vibe of it's own.
Eyes.... We need more eyes..
Insight could potentially let you see what ea reveals?
Some readers have some eyeless behaviour for real.
I found someone complaining about there being too many female characters around him? Those are some maidenless complains.
Jokes aside, his gigach- For real this time, it's mostly unintentional.
I also have to apologise for something, sorry for thinking you're smart enough to understand why his Magic only seems weaker
