16 Chapter 15

Immediately the room was enclosed, trapping everyone that had learnt the simple domain. Immediately they attempted to deploy the simple domain. Cu's domain worked fine as it evident by the defence near his feet. Fujimaru's was breaking down immediately but the others were faring fine for the time being. The splattered and incomplete void continued to subsist until the simple domains were broken. 

"Pretty good, Cu's starting off pretty high with the record being a thirty seconds inside the domain of Infinity Void. But, add the sure-hit effect and the time will reduce by half. As for Fujimaru, you'll need to work on it hard, ASAP. Anyone with a domain could kill you instantly." 

Cu sat down before asking, "Yo Satoru, what's the strangest thing you've encountered during your jobs?" I thought for a bit before thinking of the two weirdest ones. 

"Probably either the toilet curse or a haunted pizzeria. The toilet curse was from a sudden surge of fear when images of creatures popping up inside the toilet when it shouldn't be possible. Like a crocodile or a huge spider or frog. The fear created some weird amalgamation that ended up shapeshifting into the person's worst fear before taking a huge chunk out of their ass the moment they sat on the toilet."

Cu snorted before asking about the pizzeria. 

"The pizzeria was haunted by a few dead kids inside the animatronics. Thought I was their killer or something. Suguru tried to absorb them suits and all cause he thought it'd be funny if we hid them in Yaga's office and entertain him." 

I smiled from the good old times before realising that I should probably get going on trying to expand the target for my techniques. I'd let Fuijmaru develop a bit more, the staff were worried but I dismissed them. Fujimaru needed to grow unless he was to die as collateral when I fight in the future. The more strong allies I have, the better I can work, even if I am at my strongest when alone. 

From what I could see, their journey into the second singularity of Septem was going pretty well. With Okita and Maid following the group it should be fine. Two of my only and most trusted servants in this situation. For now, I would focus on hand to hand combat, relying constantly on Infinity would make me rusty. 

I paged a few servants to help me train with hand to hand combat. A 5v1 should suffice. The available servants on the roster than weren't joining Fujimaru were Martha whom had joined the list due to a ribbon left within my pockets from before. 

The servants that came were Emiya, Martha, Chiron, Li Shuwen and Beowulf. 

"Alright, I'll have my Limitless released. That'll make it fair for everyone. Of course, I will be applying Limitless to my punches and movements otherwise it wouldn't be fair considering you are all servants." 

The five nodded while Li Shuwen seemed strangely pumped up? Really strange, Martha readied her gauntlets as I flinched realising that the gauntlet was going to hurt. Beowulf and Chiron stretched a bit before readying themselves while Emiya cringed at the though of having to go hand to hand. He was a weapon freak after all. 

"Ready? Set. Go!" 

At the moment the word "Go" was said. Chiron and Martha were the first to engage. Beowful joined in making sure to fill any openings that the two were giving. Luckily I had long removed my shades, the Six Eyes had extreme perception abilities by turning an instant into at least a minute's worth of time. The main priority when fighting multiple targets was to slowly accumulate damage to the group. 

Martha's fist narrowly missed my head as I ducked before following with a half moon kick into Li Shuwen who had attempted to sneak behind. I quickly wrapped my legs around the arm that he blocked with before throwing him behind at the servants who took advantage of the opening. 

A few more weaves came in before I started isolating them one by one. Li Shuwen had closed the distance instantly as his fist came with a sense of danger. A slight tilt as I caught his arm with my left hand before swinging him into Emiya who tumbled backwards. Martha huffed a bit as she attempted to stall me until Chiron could land a proper hit. 

However, in that instant I decided to risk it. With the perception of the Six Eyes it was possible to pull it off. I weaved just as Chiron was about to land a punch within a hair's breadth. The punch curved as Chiron attempted to use the weight to redistribute it to my direction. Unfortunately for Chiron, it was at this moment. 

"Black Flash"

Black lightning surged and the magical energy ramped up. So this was what a black flash felt like. I like it. Emiya's face paled as I arrived right in front of him before Li Shuwen deployed his martial arts barrier in an attempt to take my attention for himself. The world was just as pleasant. In the moment of contact between Li Shuwen's fist and my side. My whole body rolled with the momentum in order to get to Emiya. 

In an instant a counter punch was sent as Emiya barfed. "Black Flash" 

Black lightning crackled. Space had been distorted with that strike. Chiron was barely holding on and trying his best not to barf after that strike. Emiya who was less durable had long spilt his spiritrons metaphorically. 

Martha and Li grinned while Beowulf charged in head fist without thinking. Normally his fists could probably be ranked as a noble phantasm itself, it was just that powerful. But that only applied if the fist hit its target. 

The Blue applied fist came into contact with his liver just before using the reversal as a heavy propulsion sent Beowulf sleeping. 

Li Shuwen and Martha had agreed to take me on 1v1. Guess they were doing it the old way then. Li Shuwen closed the distance instantly with his foot slamming into the ground below. 

"No Second Strike!" 

The effects of his Noble Phantasm had long been exposed as I managed to hop off the floor before the stun effect hit. However the suspended action of mine left an opening for him to take advantage of. 

The deadly fist came in before I managed to tilt my head as a piece of skin was blown right off leaving a small stream of blood. I grinned before catching the hand that had been exposed from the strike before pulling him towards me and hitting him with a counter punch. 

Immediately after taking the hit, Li Shuwen sat out before Martha was left. Honestly, exchanging blows with Martha was probably not the best idea. Reason being, this was a woman who punched a dragon into submission and called it a prayer. 

Of course her actual strength wasn't high but the magical power infused within those fists was deadly. Her application of Jacob's Limbs was terrifying. Of course, only if it hit. It was a fight of gauging distance. But it was also a learning experience. 

"Why don't you teach me Jacob's Limbs?" 

I grinned hoping it'd work. Martha snorted "Even if you are a genius, I doubt you could simply learn it by seeing it. There's limits to geniuses unless you are the lord himself." 

In an instant I took a stance that Li Shuwen immediately recognised as he started chuckling before blowing into full laughter. 

"Saint Martha, I'd recommend you not show anything to that youngster. He's no longer in the realm of a simple genius but someone blessed by the world itself." 

Unlike Li Shuwen, I didn't need a true name release. 

Within that split second, the distance was closed. Martha's fist raised up with a golden imbued glow. The next second, my foot crushed the floor and her balance was off. The fist twisted with extra weight from falling. That short instant was all that I needed to see how Jacob's Limbs were used. Martha who had been expecting Li Shuwen's finishing strike was surprised when I raised my hand to match her fist. 

I knew that I had a wide grin right about now as my fist carried the same golden hue. The Six Eyes had long analysed how Jacob's Limbs worked within that instant. 

In terms of power, Martha would win using Jacob's Limbs. However for me with the Six Eyes, which reduced activation of technique or spell to infinitesimally near zero. I could afford to output far more power than Martha. In that instant one of us was blown back. 

I smiled before asking. 

"For an ad-lib Jacob's Limbs learnt on the spot I think I did alright. Since my output was greater I won the exchange. How do you think I did?"
