Chapter 1659: Uchiha Kokuu VS Round Table Knight Heroic Spirit! (Bonus chapter for Alliance Leader Nero the Night Watchman)
Uchiha Kokuu had ink-black, slightly curly, medium-short hair with bangs covering his eyes.
He paid no mind to the slaughter happening throughout the town between the Star Realm Army soldiers, the Greedy Wolf Star Unit, and the major Vatican Knight Orders.
With an indifferent expression, he stood on the spacious back of the fire dragon.
Looking down from above, he surveyed Father Anderson and Percyval below.
The silver studs on his ears glittered under the sun.
At this moment, Uchiha Kokuu gripped the long-handled, gourd-shaped fan, red on top and white on the bottom, that he had been carrying behind his back.
This was, of course, not the Uchiha Clan's 'Clan Treasure', the Flame Fan.
Because it was in Uchiha Madara's hands, and the 'Flame Fan' was entirely white.
The World Government benefited from the 'God: Nativity of a World of Trees' technique unleashed by Otsutsuki Hagoromo when Otsutsuki Kaguya was 'unsealed' previously, harvesting a large amount of 'Divine Tree Materials'.
Afterwards, through the efforts of Uchiha Fugaku, they invited the ninja tool craftsmen from Famous Sword Town to help produce many replicas of the 'Flame Fan'.
These were given as gifts and weapons to every clansman who was later promoted to Jonin.
This 'Uchiha Fan' held by Uchiha Kokuu was one of them.
Although the name sounded like a mass production item, and it indeed was a mass production item.
However, apart from its external color, its internal function was exactly the same as the 'Flame Fan'.
It was similarly hard in texture, elastic, and had sharp black edges.
It could be used as a blade for attack or a shield for defense.
It also possessed the effect of using its inherent Wind Release to more finely control external flame, as well as absorbing various energy attacks and returning them.
Therefore, Uchiha Madara's 'Flame Fan' now only held the symbolic meaning of a 'Clan Treasure'.
Of course, the premise was that he hadn't continued enhancing it.
"Come at me together!"
Uchiha Kokuu said coldly.
"Truly confident," Percyval said. "But being able to control a fire dragon means your strength certainly isn't weak."
Percyval, holding Longinus' Spear, was very calm.
"It doesn't matter. We are the earthly agents of divine punishment, bringing the punishment of heaven. Our mission is to extinguish the last trace of flesh from the ignorant fools who dare to resist God. Amen!"
Father Anderson crossed his twin swords in front of him, his lens flashing with white reflection, staring intently at Uchiha Kokuu.
He continuously chanted a pre-battle prayer in Italian.
His tone was so forceful and resonant that one could strongly feel how fervent and how firm his faith was.
Percyval's corner of mouth twitched. He always felt that the other party's faith was too extreme.
Although he also had faith in God, his loyalty to King Arthur was even greater.
However, under normal circumstances, the two would not conflict.
Uchiha Kokuu opposite him did not understand Anderson's Italian.
But one thing caused him some astonishment.
That was, through his Sharingan, there was a layer of faint golden energy around these two people that blocked the invasion of his Dojutsu Power.
Otherwise, the combat would have ended the moment they made eye contact.
Uchiha Kokuu wondered if he could achieve a breakthrough after switching to his Mangekyo Sharingan.
However, judging from the intensity he just felt, there wasn't much hope.
That was clearly an ability specifically protecting their will from being affected.
If he had 'Tsukuyomi', it might be better.
[Swish!]
At this moment, Percyval pushed off with his feet, turning into an afterimage and leaping forward.
The sharpness of the Longinus' Spear in his hand pointed directly at Uchiha Kokuu on the fire dragon's back.
There was once a beautiful female Heroic Spirit, one of 'Charlemagne's Twelve Paladins', known as the 'Pure White Feather Knight', Bradamante, who after sparring with Percyval, evaluated him as 'The Gun Without Hesitation'.
This was also the reason he was praised by the world as pure and untainted.
Although Percyval himself felt he was merely a fool who always knew very little.
But he was indeed a personality who single-mindedly and unhesitatingly only knew how to advance, make choices, and engage in combat.
Therefore, Uchiha Kokuu could feel that the spear Percyval was thrusting towards him at this moment had a feeling of being completely unadorned, straightforward, yet incredibly firm and difficult to resist.
Of course, he clearly understood this was just an illusion, an effect brought about by the opponent's aura.
What a pity.
Percyval did not know how to condense aura into Haki.
Of course, as a Heroic Spirit and not a human, he couldn't learn it either.
"Roar!!!"
But to reach Uchiha Kokuu, he first had to get past Smaug.
The fire dragon flapped its wide wings, hovering above the town.
The incredibly scorching Demonic Fire Dragon Breath erupted from its mouth, instantly forming a thick, long fire pillar that engulfed Percyval and the houses beneath him.
But this was just the beginning. After the fiercely burning blaze exploded the houses, it transformed into a wave-like sea of fire that swept outwards in all directions.
It grandly incinerated all the buildings along the way and the Vatican Knights who couldn't dodge in time.
Fortunately, the members of the Greedy Wolf Star Unit already knew how terrifying Smaug was.
They used magic, martial arts, Ninjutsu, or special abilities to get away from the range of the flame in advance.
Even so.
Looking at the towering fire wall that encircled the town center, and the rolling heatwave washing over them, they were still dumbfounded and utterly shocked.
Is this the strength of the Uchiha?!
Inside the fire wall.
It had already turned into a patch of burning red scorched earth, with nothing but flames as far as the eye could see.
The temperature here was terrifyingly high.
If a mortal were in this place, they would probably faint from the heat in no time.
Until they developed symptoms of heatstroke and died from the heat.
On Smaug's back.
Uchiha Kokuu finished adjusting the surrounding fire wall, then stopped waving the fan in his hand.
"This is our battlefield. There shouldn't be any more annoying noise."
"Come!"
Percyval and Anderson, who had landed back on the ground, exchanged glances.
[Swish!]
The former charged forward again, holding his spear.
The latter remained at the original spot and threw dense blade light towards Uchiha Kokuu.
"Smaug, you watch from here. I'll go down and play with them!"
After speaking, Uchiha Kokuu transformed into a fire whirlwind and rapidly flew down from the dragon's back.
He met Percyval's spear point frontally.
[Clang!]
The Uchiha Fan wreathed in flame and the Longinus' Spear shimmering with golden light fiercely collided.
[Swish Swish Swish Swish----]
Wind and fire howled, and blade light was continuous.
The figures of Uchiha Kokuu and Percyval weaved among countless throwing knives.
Their speed was so fast that ordinary naked eyes couldn't capture any movement at all.
The ding-ding-dang-dang clanging sound was incessant.
Uchiha Kokuu's Three-Tomoe Sharingan continuously scanned, observing the movements of Percyval and every throwing knife.
Percyval, relying on his B-Rank Agility, Endurance, and Strength, as well as the Blessing of the Holy Grail within him and the Noble Phantasm, Longinus' Spear, in his hand, fought the former to a standstill.
The Second Seat Round Table Knight Heroic Spirit of Britain's King Arthur VS the Uchiha Clan's Mangekyo Sharingan user!
This scene was so pleasing to the eye of a certain person behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, it wasn't Artoria, nor was it Gilgamesh.
It was just that he had his doubt as to why Heroic Spirits would appear in this world?
Eh, never mind. Let's watch the combat first. After watching, I'll go to the Vatican to find out the reason.
It seems this world has quite a few unexpected things...
In the field.
Father Anderson saw that his throwing knives couldn't hit Uchiha Kokuu.
He immediately charged forward with his twin swords to team up with Percyval and launch a pincer attack.
Uchiha Kokuu's gaze was calm, without ripple. Relying on his Three-Tomoe Sharingan, Observation Haki, and Armament Haki, he dodged and weaved, fighting one against two without falling into a disadvantage at all.
