"Ruler Servant huh… this is a bit troublesome." Ryouma murmured to himself then glanced towards Gudao who looked serious and eyes calculating to their next move. He glanced behind to see the Jikan Sokōgun not climbing up but he's sure, once Amakusa gave a signal, they will start swarming up to give trouble. 'What would you do Master?'

Amakusa chuckled as he spoke, "Chaldea Master, I truly applaud you going this far… but I'm afraid that this is where it ends."

"Quit with the monologues!" Nobunaga shouted in irritation as she brought out thousands of rifles above her. "Start saying that AFTER you win!"

Without waiting for orders, Nobunaga released her Three Line Formation against the enemies.

Hajime, without hesitation, charged forward and easily slashed every bullet that came against him and was met by Hijikata who had also charged in great speed to have a clash with him.

"For Shinsengumi, you will die in my hands Hajime!" Hijikata roared, eyes blank, a clear indication that his sanity was lost and care nothing but cutting Hajime to pieces. Hajime openly welcomed Hijikata's Berserk in open arms as his eyes glowed in crimson and roared, "Bring it on Hijikata-san!"

The wild clash started between the Hijikata and Hajime.

On the other side, Hogen had easily dodge Nobu's bullets in ease as she run forward with a clear target in mind and that was Ushiwakamaru.

Clearly sensing the killing intent towards Ushiwakamaru, Imanotsurugi exclaimed towards her direction. "Ushiwakamaru-sama!"

Instead of being warry, Ushiwakamaru grinned widely as she took position and ready to meet her. "I'll be fine Imanotsurugi, focus on your task." She said to him without looking then shouted to communicate with her Master. "Master permission to leave Hogen to me?"

"Granted, don't fail Ushiwakamaru!" Without second thought, Gudao shouted his approval.

No longer wasting another second, Ushiwakamaru immediately advanced forward without hesitation, her speed was so fast that when Hogen finally reached the location where Nobu's Three Line Formation no longer reached, Ushiwakamaru and Hogen clashed with each other.

"This time, I will kill you Shana-oh!" Hogen roared as she pushed her strength against Ushiwakamaru. There's no denying that her strength had truly surpassed Ushiwakamaru but she's not backing down against her. Ushiwakamaru grinned as she sneered, "Just say that after you take my head Shisho."

"Oh, I will!" Hogen roared as the two clashed with each other.

On the other side, Akechi teleported away to avoid Nobunaga's attack while Amakusa had summoned three black keys or three swords appeared in both left and right hand then began blocking each of Nobunaga's bullet rain attacks with ease.

Amakusa chuckled, "Oda Nobunaga known as the Demon King of Japan, is this all you could do?" He taunted. Nobunaga was truly irritated, "This bastard…!"

Gudao playfully mocked her, "Losing your cool Nobu?"

"AS IF!" Nobunaga shouted towards Gudao as she halted her skill.

Raiko did not wait long to charge in berserk against Amakusa followed by Alter. Okita on the other hand run on the side just for them to witness Akechi appearing on that spot and without a choice was confronted with Okita who had a looked with clear intention to kill him.

"Jikan Sokōgun are moving up!" Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki exclaimed to alert everyone the incoming surge of Jikan Sokōgun. Heshikiri Hasebe immediately roared his order, "Extra Team do not allow any of them pass through us, attack!"

Kashuu Kiyomitsu, Horikawa Kunihiro and Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki answered in union, "Okay!"

Without hesitation the group charged forward to meet the surge. Izou even joined while laughing in joy as he could do more killing than get bored and do nothing. Muramasa sigh in hopelessness before glancing to his master who gave a nod of approval and immediately, he went off to join them. Ryouma could only sigh as he glanced towards Oryou who immediately understood his intention, she remained on standby behind the group as a clear sign of being the last defense for the Extra team's mission.

The remaining extra team member, Kikkou Sadamune remained silent as his eyes was focused on Akechi. His eyes weren't reflecting any fondness towards his previous master but contemplation. He remained true to his words about wanting to settle something with his previous Master and now that he witnessed that person himself, he wasn't sure how to approach it.

"Kikkou-kun" Saniwa called and immediately he's in attention, "Yes Aruji-sama?"

"I remembered your words about settling something with Akechi Mitsuhide and I will allow that but… remember that you are in Extra Team, meaning I have no ability to assist you." Saniwa reminded then glanced towards him, "That's why before you head off and join the battle, observed and analyze his power and his way of fighting. He's a servant so definitely he cannot be considered as normal like the rest."

Kikkou nodded in understanding, "Thank you Aruji-sama for allowing my selfishness to join in this mission, I promise you that I will not fail."

With Saniwa's acknowledgement, Kikkou immediately went off going to Akechi and Okita's battle but did not dare to join, merely observing and if given an opening will join as well.

Saniwa glanced towards Gudao who merely smiled, a silent saying there's no complain to his part.

Nobunaga sigh loudly and spoke as pulled down her hat to hide her eyes, "Master thanks for bringing back my composure a while ago."

The main members of the Touken Danshi, especially Yagen Toshirou, looked at Nobunaga in surprise, never expecting her to actually apologize.

Gudao looked at her in dumbfounded expression as he said, "Nobu you may be able to fool everyone but not me."

Silence befalls to them except the battlefield until Nobu broke it by chuckling a bit before laughing loudly. Nobu darkly grinned toward her master, "Master, you really know me."

"Of course, I would." Gudao turned to her with a smirk with his own and raised his right hand as the command spell began to glow, "Nobu heeds my command, unleash your true Noble Phantasm and bring down the enemies before me!"

Nobunaga's body began to glow as a surge of magical energy fill her. Slowly she began to float as powerful energy and three thousand rifles began to appear around her as she chants. "Show your corpse to the Three Thousand Worlds...!" Nobunaga darkly grinned as she finished her line with glee, "Demon Descent! Behold, the Demon King's Three Line Formation!"

Through her noble phantasm, she began shooting down all the surroundings, to the Jikan Sokōgun and to the enemy Servants.

The Touken Danshi especially those who personally know Nobunaga were beyond shock. All enemies were being hit be it scratching them or hitting their vital spots but what's surprising was how none of those raining bullets were hitting any of their allies, especially the Heroic Spirits who kept moving as fast and as brutal as possible. There's a raining bullets all around them and none of the Heroic Spirits had any concern much less made a bat on eye on it except the enemies Heroic Spirits who deals it as nuisance as not only they block the incoming bullets or some hitting them to the point hindering their movement but also dealing with their respective opponents.

"HAHAHAHA!" Nobunaga was laughing loudly, completely enjoying everything she's doing as she deal both Jikan Sokōgun and their enemy Servants.

Gudao who was watching started using majutsu to provide assistance to other servants like increasing their attack power or providing additional protection. Saniwa was doing the same to his Touken Danshi. While the fight continue, Saniwa could not help but sometimes glance toward Gudao and how their team work.

Gudao was not shouting any command towards his Servants unlike before, only providing them support on everything they do. Truly not what Saniwa had expected to witness. It was really unlike his team whom he saw his main chosen team leader, Izuminokami Kanesada was doing, they were doing their own fighting against the Jikan Sokōgun but there were still orders being bark from him and those under his team follow the command.

'Still…' Saniwa thought as he observed the allied Servants' action against their respective opponents, 'They're coordinating despite their difference, all of them are without a doubt leader of their own history but that does not hinder them much less radiate superiority towards one another… Imagining these historical people in one timeline and working together was an unimaginable before but now… it proved me wrong.'

Unbeknown to Saniwa, Gudao was still giving orders toward his Servants but unlike barking them, it was from body action and glance. Since every Servants had fought with him for a very long time, everyone immediately learned and understand his silent orders in a heartbeat.

Him providing support toward Okita made her understand what she has to do next as she took a step back to dodge Akechi Mitsuhide's magic attacks and before he could do something else, he was surprise to sense Okita Alter coming then attacked him. Under the mercy of Okita Alter, Okita swiftly runs to the other side.

Hijikata felt a power boost of strength and immediately realize what he has to do when he noticed Gudao glancing to his next target and without hesitation, he dashed away from Hajime.

"Where do you think your…!" Hajime was cut off when he noticed an incoming attack. He immediately swings his sword to the side to block Okita's surprise attack. Okita grinned as she pushed her sword forward against him, "I will be your opponent this time Saito, you will die in my hands!"

"Huh, try me you bitch!" Hajime screamed as he pushed her away to create a few distance then both started their dance with their sword.

Kashuu Kiyomitsu and Yamatonokami Yasusada witnessed the exchange in battle and as much as they wanted to watch and learn more battle techniques from their respective owners, they could not do that as they have a job to focus on and that was to deal with the Jikan Sokōgun who dares to get in their way.

Kashuu Kiyomitsu could not help but click his tongue from irritation, "They're so persistent!" He charged to cut two enemies approaching then block of their attack, swiftly moving around to end them as well. The process repeats to other enemies as well.

Amakusa on the other hand was laughing as he taunted Raiko. "How laughable, a berserker like you cooperating much less accepting helping hand from other class? How much you had become so low Minamoto."

"Heh, for an insect all you do is bark but no bite!" Raiko taunted back as she continues her aggressive assault against him.

In normal circumstances Amakusa should be experiencing hardship against her but due to the enhancement its like a child's play for him. Amakusa laugh loudly then stared intensely toward her eyes when both made a clash of sword, "I wonder about that Matsumoto, after all who say we had stopped targeting your precious master?"

His word had mentally stun Raiko for a bit but was quickly recollect herself as she put as much strength to slash him away from her. Then they heard a familiar voice coming.

"Unsheathe- Rush-" Looking on the side, there was Hijikara who was dashing in greater speed than he was capable before, dashing forward against his new target, Amakusa Shiro while his eyes glowed in crimson and thunderous red as he shouted, "Ohhhhhhhhhhh!"

The enemy head immediately realized that what's coming to him was not a normal or special attack but his very own noble phantasm. 'Shit!' He mentally cursed. He gathered his enhanced power to both body and sword to meet his noble phantasm head on.

"THIS IS…!" A strong slash was met and Amakusa could not help but grunt in pain despite the enhancement over him, another slash and Amakusa felt a large damage inflicted to him, "SHINSEN-" Ending Hijikata's noble phantasm, he brought out his firearm from his left hand and pointed to him. With one trigger, a powerful blast was met. "GUMI!"

Amakusa hissed in pain as he was blasted away. From afar, Ushikawamaru did a great job taunting and keeping Kiichi Hogen busy against her, to the point Kiichi Hogen made a fatal mistake on ignoring the surrounding and focusing all her fury towards Ushikawamaru. That was why she had failed to sense an incoming trajectory behind her and before she could do something about it, her back collided with Amakusa's back and was also blown away with him until they both smashed on the castle's walls.

The destruction was strong to cause the wall to crumble and debris falling on top of them.

Nobunaga who's affect of noble phantasm was over did not miss this chance to manifest a large number of firearms all directed to where Amakusa and Hogen were stuck with. Without hesitation she began her bombardment of bullets against them, not allowing a single chance for them to recover.

Raiko on the other hand despite her berserker mode could not help but felt trouble on what Amakusa had just said then suddenly she felt a familiar presence but not in a good way. She immediately shouted towards her companions who was nearest to her Master's location.

"Sakamoto! Muramasa! Protect Master!" Raiko shouted in alarm.

The two who heard immediately became in high alert and as Raiko said, another presence of Servant was detected, possible hostile but the problem was the speed. It was too fast. They may not make it in time.

"Master!" Ryouma and Muramasa shouted in alarm as they dashed forward him.

Gudao and Saniwa who heard the warning were on alert but the problem was they could not see the incoming enemy. Despite that, Saniwa immediately cast his power to create a powerful barrier surrounding them and Gudao using his command spell created a new shadow servant. This time it was an appearance of a long-haired man that wears both armor and priest of a church.

"Revert and persist!" Gudao ordered and the shadow servant which the Heroic Spirits recognized was none other than Saint George had casted Guardian Knight, an ability to take all the enemies' attention toward him.

Finally, they heard a thundering sound and as much as it's not the intended target, the surprise attack of the new Servant was met against the shadow servant. The impact of the force was powerful that Gudao and Saniwa have to brace themselves standing while also keeping the barrier intact despite the strong tremor from the force.

They heard a laugh from the newcomer, "Haha! Shame! Here I thought I had done it better than what Hogen could not do." The shadow servant Saint George started crumbling to ashes, a clear show the power difference between the two.

Thanks to Gudao's quick action in reverting the enemy's target to someone else, they were saved only for a moment but for the rest, that was enough. Ryouma used his own firearm then began continuously shooting down the new arrival enemy. The effect however was not much due to the enhancement but that was fine for Ryouma because Muramasa who had not only reached the enemy but also unleashed a lot of replicas of his creation around the battlefield can do the rest.

"Upon one's arrival the use of years devoted studies, forging endlessly to create tombs of swords." Without hesitation, Muramasa unleash his noble phantasm against the new enemy. "Severing karma by one's origin. This is the Yaegaki made by the sword of Senji." All sword replicas that he had released had burned in scorching flame that soon combined into a burning blade and with no hesitation gave a strong slash as he bellowed, "Now, time to set your spirit free!"

The noble phantasm had not only inflicted direct damage to the new enemy Servant but also to the rest of the enemies that were unfortunately inline to the attack. The Touken Danshis including Saniwa was beyond shock on what they had witness. Senji Muramasa was without a doubt a blacksmith and he had even told that himself, still were blacksmith capable of this powerful attack? This was beyond human limitation!

'So, this is… the power of Servants… of Heroic Spirits.' Saniwa thought in astonishment. From the beginning until now, he had witnessed a lot of unbelievable things that were at first supposed not to exist. Like Oryou-san becoming a large lizard or dragon then the aggressiveness from both Raikou and Hijikata, the raining gunshots from Oda Nobunaga, and many others that he had lost count and now this… "A-amazing…" Saniwa was without a doubt speechless and there's no doubt as well his Touken Danshi felt the same.

Gudao smiled in relief towards both Ryouma and Muramasa, "Thank you, can you still keep up?"

"Do not worry about us Master, we can still go on." Ryouma assured his Master before turning to Murasama. "But Muramasa step back for a bit as we will need you to the next operation." He turned back to the Jikan Sokōgun that's started swarming his way and with the way he raised his sword and charge forward was a silent say that he will take over Muramasa's work and Oryou without complain followed him.

Muramasa sigh and turned to his Master who nodded, a silent order was received and decided to take over Ryouma's previous position to become the last lime defense, at least he had a breather in this position for the incoming battle later.

Few distance away, the unidentified servant emerged, large muscular body surrounded by sparking electricity and golden hair was grinning in excitement despite the fact he was just directly hit by a noble phantasm. In normal circumstances being directly hit by noble phantasm means either heavy sustained injuries or death but with the way his body was swinging for a moment before straightening up only means he was enhanced like many other enemies.

"Hahaha that was a blast!" The new servant exclaimed before he could do more, Raikou in her raging mode was so pissed that she did not hesitate to swing her sword towards him as she shouted, "A naughty child like you should be disciplined!"

"Wow Boss Raikou!" The new servant was astonished but still did not forget to raise his large axe to block her attack. Raikou growled his name as she pushed her sword, "Kintoki!"

Saniwa turned to Gudao in question, "Kintoki?"

"Sakata Kintoki, one of the four to serve under Minamoto no Raikou. I'm sure you had heard of him." Gudao explained and it took Saniwa a moment to remember him, "Yes, I remember now, he was also known as the most powerful mystic slayer in the Heian era. Childhood name Kintarou that rivals of Momotarou. He was also known as the child of Sekiryu, a god of thunder and his mother was a man-eating mountain witch who lived on Mt. Ashigara."

Gudao nodded as he mumbled, "I did not expect another Servant coming against us." Then he shouted his order, "Don't give them any chance to recover!"

Hearing the order, Ushikawamaru without hesitation started using her noble phantasm. "This is one of my legends." She whispered as she began jumping in different kind of direction, jumping in ease in each of the debris be it big or small like she was simply flying the sky without wings, "My body dances on the water surface like a bird…" Her target destination was none other than Saito Hajime. With a surprise leap behind him, she whispered, "Dan-no-Ura" She appearing behind surprised Saito and without providing any chance for him to act, she gave a power slice, "Eight Boats Leap!"

"Ack!" Saito gasp, completely not expecting her direct attack against him from the back.

Akechi Mitsuhide who had seen everything could not help but mentally growl, 'At this rate we will lose, I have to retreat and report everything to the Lord.'

"How careless of you to still have a time to look away from us!" Someone shouted. Akechi Mitsuhide turned to see Kikkou Sadamune charging toward him with his sword. Akechi Mitsuhide twitched as he blocked his attack with magic barrier. Kikkou Sadamune pushed harder but the effort was futile as Akechi Mitsuhide effortlessly pushed him away to give them both space.

Okita Alter immediate charge forward and attacked Akechi Mitsuhide but like before, he was able to block her sword as well, although there's a clear sign the barrier created to block Okita Alter's attack was stronger than Kikkou Sadamune's.

"The fact that your focusing on defense means you are planning to escape, right?" Okita Alter said as she pushed her sword forward, successfully pushing back Akechi Mitsuhide from his position. He replied, "Hmph, its troublesome but I have something else to do."

With those words, he gave a final offensive spell which Okita Alter avoided successfully before using his teleportation spell and vanished from sight.

Kikkou Sadamune who was unfamiliar with it was shocked as he looked around, "Where is he?"

"He escaped using magecraft to teleport away." Okita Alter explained, knowing Kikkou Sadamune was still not familiar with how Heroic Spirit Work. True to her thought, Kikkou Sadamune looked at her in confused look, "I don't remember Akechi Mitsuhide was capable of doing that, much less teleport. How did it happen?"

"He won't be as a living person but for Heroic Spirit like us, much less a Caster Class, that's easy as cutting bamboo in half." Okita Alter explained with a small smile before turning serious as she looks to where the rest of the battle was happening, "Although its too bad that he got away, its actually good for us, since we reduced the number of our enemies and from here forward is a challenge that we must win no matter what."

Kikkou Sadamune gripped his sword hard, not completely agreeing with Okita Alter's assessment but held himself from speaking about it. After all, he admits that there's still a lot about this situation he and the rest of the Touken Danshi does not understand so he had no choice but to observe the situation first.

All of the sudden, they all felt a strange and heavy sensation coming from the enemy Servants, a familiar presence for Gudao and his team but new for Saniwa and his team.

Okita Alter immediately shouted to Kikkou Sadamune, "Sadamune return back and join the Extra Team and be vigilant." Kikkou Sadamune could not understand as he gave a questioning tone, "Eh?"

Gudao shouted, "Everyone step back!"

Hijikata, Okita, Ushikawamaru and Raiko immediately stepped away as Kintoki and Saito Hajime began to emit a dangerous dark presence around them, same with Kiichi Hogen and Amakusa Shiro to the point the debris that burred them crumbled in dust.

Nobunaga stopped her continues assault and landed to the ground as she mumbled, "Its starting."

Saniwa who was trying to understand the change of the situation immediately felt a familiar presence, "What? Gudao is this what you're talking about?" He could not help but question because there's no way he will mistake this presence. The one he's feeling right now was the same presence as the Jikan Sokōgun.

Knowing what he's talking about, Gudao nodded. "Yes. At this point your team will be crucial to defeat them." He barked his order, "We will now focus on agile and support! Nobu, Alter change position with Izou and Old man Muramasa. Don't let any of those Jikan Sokōgun interfere with their fight."

"Understood Master." Okita Alter obeyed as she dashed away to fight the Jikan Sokōgun. Witnessing this, Kikkou Sadamune decided to follow her advice and return to the Extra Team under Heshikiri Hasebe.

Nobunaga on the other hand voiced her displeasure but her action did not show any sign of disobeying her Master's order. "Izou, Muramasa, you better do your job well or I will come back to the frontline with or without Master's support just so I could release my frustration to you."

Izou grinned, his eyes were reflecting bloodlust as he replied. "Like hell I will fail here. Just be a good girl and start shooting them."

"Now you're talking you bastard." Nobunaga hissed, eyes also showing her own bloodlust. Never backing down against him.

Witnessing this, Muramasa just gave a loud sigh as he stepped forward, ready to assist the team that will face their enemy of their place.

Witnessing the interaction, Saniwa could not help but ask his fellow Master. "Will they be alright?" Gudao smiled in assurance, "Don't worry, that's how they normally interact."

'Really?' Was the expression Saniwa could not help but show but then was snap out of it when Gudao asked in serious tone, eyes focus on the enemies. "Are your main team ready?"

Saniwa gave a quick glance to his main team which were Izuminokami Kanesada, Yamatonokami Yasusada, Higekiri, Hizamaru, Yagen Toushirou, and Imanotsurugi. Noticing his Master's glance, Izuminokami Kanesada barked his order to his team. "Yoss, everyone be prepared as this point, it's now our battle against the Demon Army's Heroic Spirits. This will without a doubt a very tough battle but remember, we are not alone! Aruji-sama and our owners are here to support us as such, failure is not an option. Understood!?"

Yamatonokami Yasusada, Higekiri, Hizamaru, Yagen Toushirou, and Imanotsurugi answered in union, "Yeah!"

Hijikata Toshizo, Okita Souji, Minamoto no Raiko, Oda Nobunaga and Ushikawamaru could not help but mentally smiled to his word and their enthusiasm. Since they're showing how they felt toward this battle and their feelings for them, they felt that they should not fail their expectation.

Saniwa who heard them smirked as he looked towards Gudao and answered his question, "We're ready. Leave this battle to us and I promise you, we will bring you and the Chaldea Army the victory you seek."

Gudao smiled in satisfaction as he nodded, "Good, break a leg Saniwa and I assure you, we as now your support will never fail your expectation."
