“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, Fang Yi.”
Standing in this mountaintop temple, the man holding a long saber spoke these words in a tone very familiar to Fang Yi, as if reuniting with an old friend.
As these words entered Fang Yi's ears, the previously clear sky instantly darkened, becoming gloomy.
It was like the sky during dusk outside a dream, with continuous rain.
As the sky became increasingly gloomy, the scene within the wide-open temple began to change.
Only the slightly gloomy sky above provided some pitiful visibility.
As this void expanded, the figure of the man in the temple, who had been somewhat blurred and wearing a mask, became 'clear' from head to toe, as if the mosaic had been removed.
While revealing a figure somewhat familiar to Fang Yi, he also added a provocative remark.
“Looks like you're not surprised by my appearance.”
Regarding the man's words, Fang Yi, who was holding the long saber, did not show any strange expression on his face.
All he did was tilt his head and size up the other person from head to toe.
Then, he gave a somewhat indifferent reply to the man in front of him.
“Not all waiting has equal meaning.
“I also don’t need to know who you are.”
As he spoke, Fang Yi gripped the long saber in his hand and replied decisively.
“If you are an enemy named [Shadow of the Past], then show me your hostility and be prepared to be killed by me.
“If you are a 'guiding figure' who will give hints, then don't waste my time and quickly state your request.
“I have many guests to meet today and I’m in a hurry.”
When Fang Yi used [Blood Ghost Art] to 'cheat' and 'enter the dream', he had already made the decision to cut the Gordian knot.
After quickly completing the [Limit Break · Absolute Saber II] mission, he still needed to contact Miss Merlin to further arrange that magician.
—
The man standing in front of Fang Yi, or rather, gradually emerging from the darkness, smiled wickedly upon hearing this 'rude' reply, just like Fang Yi had done before.
He gave a half-joking reply.
“Looks like I shouldn’t call you Fang Yi.
“It would be more accurate to call you Fang Yi who is influenced by playing Fang Renyi.”
As the man spoke, he wiped the mask off his face, revealing a face almost identical to Fang Yi's.
Although the man was slightly shorter than Fang Yi, and had a scar on his forehead that almost spanned his entire face,
at this moment, he, standing at opposite ends of the void from Fang Yi, had an astonishingly similar appearance.
Even their aura and figure were exactly the same, except for their appearance.
Like twin brothers, or like an image reflected in a mirror standing in front of Fang Yi.
Or, it could be described as [Fang Yi · Companion Skin · Scarred Version], this kind of inferior 'skin' that only changed the color scheme.
The man looked at the unwavering Fang Yi and said appreciatively.
“I can only say that you are indeed another probability of mine that is very small, only theoretically possible, a 'possibility' like a miracle.
“Although you have [Forgotten] me, given up some innate things, and chosen to bind yourself.
“And unknowingly inherited those 'things' from [Fang Renyi] that make me sick during the acting process.”
“But as long as you are willing, you can still become as 'sharp' and 'efficient' as me.”
After saying these words to Fang Yi, the man in the temple drew the long saber in his hand, just like Fang Yi.
The muscles all over his body tightened like a fully drawn longbow, giving the feeling of an arrow ready to be launched.
Then, he uttered very decisive words.
“Since there is no desire to communicate, then as you wish!
“What you want is here, you can get it by killing me.
“But [if you want it, you have to come and get it yourself].
“You and I should both know this, Fang Yi.”
Responding to him was a saber light that seemed to tear apart the heavens and the earth, capable of cutting anything.
The instant the saber was drawn, it seemed as if this void was about to be torn apart.
It was precisely [My One and Only Saber].
That was Fang Yi's most confident, most brilliant, and most mature technique.
The Fang Yi who unleashed this saber did not relax, but slightly moved his wrist and unsentimentally slashed out another saber.
Beneath this brilliant saber light, there was also a highly condensed but silent and subtle saber light mixed in.
It was precisely the incomplete [Moon in the Mirror].
After unleashing two sabers, Fang Yi responded to the other party's words.
“As far as I’m concerned, you talk too much!”
—
“Talking a lot is the privilege of the strong! Fang Yi!
“Then let you see the talent you gave up!”
Without a moment's hesitation, the man immediately retorted.
Looking at the saber light about to touch his body, the 'Fang Yi' with a scar across his face responded very nonchalantly.
He casually waved the single hand holding the saber.
An identical [My One and Only Saber] to Fang Yi's responded and attacked Fang Yi's incomparably brilliant saber light.
When it was halfway and about to collide with Fang Yi's saber light, it reversed like the [Merging of Events].
Two [My One and Only Saber] with completely the same power but different directions appeared in the void mirror image.
With three sabers unleashed, it easily annihilated all of Fang Yi's attacks.
It even left one saber to spare and began to probe Fang Yi with great interest.
Watching the saber light about to touch Fang Yi, the man started trash-talking to his opponent.
“You should have expected this, or been prepared for it.
“Whether it's [Moon in the Mirror] or [My One and Only Saber].
“In your 'cognition', I will naturally master these powerful techniques derived from and mastered by Fang Yi's talent.
“I am looking forward to you being able to…”
The man's words were abruptly interrupted by Fang Yi's response.
-
Fang Yi did not swing his saber at this [My One and Only Saber].
All he did was widen his left eye and use [Eye of Imprisonment] to briefly 'imprison' the saber energy.
Then, he skillfully opened [Momentum · I Alone Am Supreme] and consumed the saber energy in a more cost-effective way.
He activated [Phase Crystal Core Energy Storage Cavity] to construct [Warp Shield · Hybrid] on the body surface and forcibly endured this attack.
Finally, he evoked a mocking smile and coldly satirized the other party.
“I don’t rely entirely on talent.
“As a Reincarnator, you can't go far relying solely on talent.
“For those who can go to the end, the proportion of talent is the least important part.”
Watching Fang Yi easily resist his attack.
The man laughed even louder.
“As expected of me?
“[As long as it is Fang Yi, that person with brilliant talent, it is not surprising to do this.]
Therefore, this little 'cheating' method isn't surprising.
"Instead, it makes this battle more interesting."
The man's hands holding the sword tilted upwards, and at the same time he swung out his sword energy again.
He also made a deliberate and somewhat malicious 【Affairs Merging】 lip shape.
After doing all this, he watched Fang Yi begin to dodge.
A hint of mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"As expected, you chose to dodge."
"It seems that the defensive methods you use as a Reincarnator are limited."
"But you should know that facing someone basically the same as you, dodging will only lead you into a desperate situation."
Taking advantage of Fang Yi's dodging, the man quickly switched from holding the sword with one hand to holding it with both hands.
Using all his strength, relying on the same mind, and depending on the same talent, he sealed off all of Fang Yi's dodging space.
He swung the decisive blow in his heart.
The newest novels are first published on !
Then, he arrogantly made a declaration of certain victory.
"Then, it's over!"
"With only one chance to swing your sword, how will you defeat me, who is exerting three times the normal power under 【Affairs Merging】?"
"You should understand that no matter what powerful skill is born in your mind, I will immediately 'master' it in your 'cognition'."
However, the next second, the man who said this saw an unbelievable scene.
Facing the three overlapping 【My One and Only Blade】, Fang Yi simply closed his eyes.
Then, he suddenly opened them and, in a very cliché manner, swung out a sword light that he was very familiar with.
It was exactly the same as these three sword lights, but also somewhat different, faintly exuding a boundless and infinite aura.
This sword light not only easily dissolved the man's decisive blow, but was also extraordinarily fast.
So fast that before the man could react, it easily severed the man's body, extinguishing his vitality.
Causing his existence to collapse along with this world.
After recalling the sword that killed him, the man, split in two, desperately roared.
"How is this possible?"
"Why didn't I master this sword!"
"I'm clearly you too!"
Fang Yi looked at the 【Absolute Blade】 skill that had newly appeared in 【Diligent and Progressive】.
Looking at the collapsing dream, he gave a very strange reply.
"I told you a long time ago, I don't rely entirely on talent.
"This should be considered the effort of my followers, or my 'bonds'?"

Tohsaka Residence, a room.
"Master, how did you fall asleep too!"
As Fang Yi opened his eyes, looking at the approaching Saber, at the same time.
Several spatial prompts sounded in his ears.
【You have completed 【Limit Break · Absolute Blade Ⅱ】.】
【Your skill 【Proficient Swordsmanship】 has been raised to 【lv5】.】
【Your performance in this mission was excellent, influenced by the talent 【Diligent and Progressive】.】
【Previously acquired, but not yet unlocked, additional skill branches have received additional enhancements.】
Fang Yi now remembered that he had an unclaimed reward in 【Limit Break · Absolute Blade Ⅰ】.
Or rather, unlocked.
And this reward could only be unlocked after 【Proficient Swordsmanship】 was raised to 【lv5】.
This skill branch, after being strengthened, is also considered a good bonus.

Regarding this skill.
Fang Yi glanced at the Saber who was approaching his eyes and leaning on his body.
He surprisingly opened his arms and hugged the other party unexpectedly.
He whispered a sentence in the other party's ear, making Saber's face flush red, but somewhat confused "Thank you".
And hearing this sentence, the body of the Saber who woke Fang Yi instantly softened.
As if she had no bones, she lay on the man's body.
Then, she whispered a sentence with a rather suggestive meaning.
"Master, would you like to hear the story of me and the cat in the dream?"
Just as Fang Yi was about to answer, a 【Mind Telephone】 initiated by the 【Relic】 came to his mind.
"Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Fang Yi, are you there?
"Is there a 【Sage】 who wants to issue a mission to you?"
It was Miss Merlin, who was not here, taking the initiative to hook up with Fang Yi.
Fang Yi tilted his head and replied to Miss Merlin in a very perfunctory manner.
Leaving this woman who had 'schemed' against him in the 【Perfect Dragon】 mission hanging for a while.
"Not here, the 【Relic】 is running out of power.
"Don't want to."
Then, he put his arm around Saber.
He replied to the other party in a very serious manner.
"Cats? I am very interested.
"After all, we have a long time to spend together."
Fang Yi was actually quite curious about the birth process of the 【Absolute Blade】 that he borrowed, which was different from the skill branch.
Standing in this mountaintop temple, the man holding a long saber spoke these words in a tone very familiar to Fang Yi, as if reuniting with an old friend.
As these words entered Fang Yi's ears, the previously clear sky instantly darkened, becoming gloomy.
