Chapter 5 03. The Third Command Spell
Weber led the crowd to the temporary workshop, and it could be seen that the basic preparations for the ceremony had already been made before the invitees arrived.
"So what should I do?" Luvia asked. From the 'awkward' and 'long-winded' letter she received, she only read repeated inquiries, but could not see the specific method of operation.
Weber looked at his most outstanding students in front of him with complicated eyes. He hadn't completely let go of his worries. After all, his request was no different from a life-threatening threat to any magician.
"Everyone, please seriously consider this request again, because the next thing to do needs to connect the magic circuit between all of you..."
"My lord, you don't need to repeat the things you have already emphasized in the letter. I think everyone who came here accepted this request by default before going to the appointment." Luvia said straightforwardly.
"It's not a big deal to me if it just provides the power of the magic eye." Yvette touched her star-shaped eye patch, under which there was a jeweled magic eye.
Weber stared at their reactions in astonishment. He was finally able to believe that they had really decided on a cooperation that could subvert the values of magicians so easily, as if it was no different from singing a large-scale magic trick together.
"Hahaha! As expected of the El-Mello classroom!" Melvin clapped his hands and said, he was also looking forward to this unprecedented close cooperation.Among these people, only Melvin knew the details of the magic that Weber was going to perform. When Weber still regarded this idea as a fantasy, he discussed the feasibility of the operation with him, and even went deep into every detail.Perhaps what even Weber himself didn't feel was that he had actually kept a bit of expectation in his heart for this kind of whimsy.
Waver walked towards the core of the magic circle located in the center of the workshop and stood there.
"You should all know...my magic circuit is very small, not even enough to support the heroic spirit to open the treasure once. So I hope to borrow everyone's magic power to provide the heroic spirit with the most powerful state to start the battle."
This is undoubtedly an interesting thing beyond the scope of his expectations.What better opportunity for a tuning lawyer than to assist six powerful magicians at the same time, adjusting the amplitude in a loop-connected manner?
Melvin helped Webber check the magic imprint he had transplanted onto the skin below the ribs, even though it was re-transplanted back into the original host, there was also the risk of side effects.
"It's still a little brazen." Melvin judged, "It's only been transplanted for a month, even if it is the original host, it is impossible to adjust the engraving to the effect that is completely suitable for you. I am afraid that the treasure that you can't support the heroic spirit also has this effect. reason."
"That's why I called you here." Weber said bluntly.
"I'm not omnipotent."
After several attempts at the magic circle, it has explored the upper limit that Weber's magic engraving can currently carry, and has also found out the most suitable connection channel.Because Weber had intervened in Luvia's magic circuit during the stripping city, she was most comfortable with her way of using gems to operate magic power, so she became the first link that directly contacted Weber.Then connect to Yvette's magic eye, which is also an ore medium, and then connect to Reinis's magic eye through the burning attribute, and connect to Coles, who is good at lightning magic, with Reinis's own wind attribute.Finally, and the most important link, Flat will be responsible for capturing the large-scale magic of the Animusfia family sent from the sky by the power of the stars.
The person who can judge the effect of magic most intuitively is naturally Iskandar who is a magic power consumer.When the magic circle was activated, he could feel a soft and strong pulse flowing into his body, just like a wide river, under the calm water flow, there was a steady power hidden.
But what Melvin said just now when he checked the magic seal for Weber made him hear the hidden danger that he couldn't perceive. Before Melvin left the room, he asked.
"What is the limit number of times the treasure can be activated now?"
"Twice." Weber replied first, and then threatened Melvin with unconvincing eyes.
Melvin just shrugged.
"It's true to say that, but it is indeed a gamble that can be called 'extreme'."
Iskandar understood what he meant.
The battle situation is changing rapidly. Although Iskandar has always avoided taking the initiative to fight with other servants, they undoubtedly exposed their base position to other masters directly during the battle with Assassin, and also revealed their special abilities to a certain extent. way of fighting.
Perhaps the other masters will no longer regard him as an opponent who can be removed first after they understand that El-Melloi II did not come to the battle alone, but brought his capable students to help out.But this also means that anyone who has the courage to come forward to challenge must be the real strong.
When Iskandar was forced out of the King's Army by the sword-rank Heroic Spirit who also held the Anti-Army Noble Phantasm, the atmosphere in the base changed.In the state of the magic circuit link, the thoughts in everyone's hearts are also connected together, and they can also instinctively perceive the changes in each other's states.The mana consumption of the king's army put great pressure on Weber's unstable magic seal. No matter what, the next time will be his limit.
Coles told Gray and Sfin about his worries and the real situation of the teacher. He hoped that the two who fought with Iskandar could work with him to avoid using the strongest treasure again.Gray shook her head worriedly. She knew that no one knew the current situation better than Iskandar, and no one wanted to avoid draining the teacher's power more than him, but no one could guarantee this.
Magicians with weird personalities don't see any anxiety, sadness and joy, and Gray has become accustomed to it. The state between the teacher and Iskandar is the most puzzling to Gray.They treat each other as if they don't know anything, and maintain a soft attitude towards everyone, which seems to have a little more simplicity and sincerity.But how could they, who were in the center of the vortex, not care?
There was another news of the defeat of the servants in the distance, and their final opponent was finally finalized.This seems to be a fateful arrangement, Rider will face Archer again.
Before leaving for Enzang Mountain to meet the Holy Grail that is about to be born, Iskandar accompanied Weber to the workshop.
It is not known whether the teacher grabbed Iskandar's cloak first, or Iskandar grabbed the teacher's arm first.Gray saw that they hugged each other naturally, whispering in each other's ears.
Gray didn't know what they said specifically, she could only see Iskandar's gentleness made the teacher show a peaceful expression.
Perhaps it was the tension before the decisive battle that cast a cloud over the warmth, and she felt a little uneasiness from such warmth.
After parting from Weber, Iskandar turned and prepared to leave.
Waver looked at the remaining Command Seal on the back of his hand, and raised his arms towards Iskandar's back.
"My servant..."
Hearing the voice behind him, Iskandar stopped in his tracks.
"Weber Velvet, consecrated him with the Command Spell, Iskandar the Conqueror, when he obtained the Holy Grail, made a wish to him with 'obtaining flesh'."
Gray saw Iskandar froze, with a shocked expression on his face.No, that is a complex emotion that cannot be described with a single word.He is an emperor, a heroic spirit who traveled through history and entered the Eternal Temple. He has experienced intriguing courts and war-torn expeditions. He has a calm demeanor, seemingly bold but restrained.However, at this moment, his self-control disappeared in front of the instant ignited feelings, and the most real feelings at this moment were completely exposed.
He frowned tightly, looking at the teacher's deep eyes, there was a trace of tears from the depths of his eyes.He clenched his fists and didn't speak for a long time.
The teacher lowered his arms and looked at him with a sorry expression, which was quickly covered by the hope in his eyes.
"We will win." He said affirmatively, with a confidence that Gray had never heard before, "Because it is no longer that useless Master who is fighting side by side with you this time. So, please Make your own wish to the Holy Grail."
Gray watched the teacher bend his brows and stretch out the always frowning lines between his brows, as if he finally let go of all the burdens in his life at this moment.
"My king, I have never forgotten your command. I will wait here for your return in victory."
"Again..." Iskandar stopped as soon as he spoke, and he seemed to sense the tremor in his voice.He quietly took a deep breath, a movement that could only be felt by Gray standing beside him.
"Say such redundant words before the expedition again."
When he spoke again, his mood was as usual.
"The command spell can only order the behavior of the servant, it cannot change the mind of the servant."
Gray could hear that he was replying to the teacher's words just now, but he couldn't understand the meaning of their words.He saw that the teacher was also slightly stunned, but it was only fleeting.
"Perhaps," he said softly.
On the way to Yuanzang Mountain, Gray has been carefully observing Iskandar's expression on the chariot.After he came out of the workshop, or to be precise, when the teacher couldn't see him, he put on a solemn expression again.
Sensing Gray's worried eyes, Iskandar immediately showed a smile. He touched the little girl's hood, comforting her emotions affected by him. As the main general, he naturally couldn't make his subordinates hesitate. .
This was the last battle, and the only one in his original battle plan where he would inevitably use the King's Army.As the only Heroic Spirit with an inherent barrier among the servants participating in this battle, his advantage is obvious. He can imprison the opponent in the barrier until the winner is decided, without being preempted by the opponent to seize the Holy Grail.
Wei Bo didn't know when he noticed his plan. He thought he was hiding it well, but he didn't expect that the ignorant boy had already developed amazing insight over the years.
He wanted to use the opportunity of praying to the Holy Grail to exchange for the hope of Weber's survival.
He told himself that according to the rules, the command spell would not work, but he still couldn't suppress the worries in his heart.
Before activating the magic circle, Waver said to Flatt.
"The plan has changed."
"Huh? Isn't it to capture the large-scale magic passed down from the Animsfia family?" the boy asked in confusion.
"That's just a medium."
After Webb answered Flatt's question, he also said to the others.
"This is my last willful request. Next, Flat will capture an unprecedentedly powerful force that transcends attribute limitations. Your magic circuit may feel a burning pain."
"Hey, hey... If it is to the extent that they can feel the pain, wouldn't it directly burn your magic circuit?" Melvin asked.
"Can you please?"
This is completely in the hands of others.Melvin sighed and put the violin on his shoulders.
"Although I can't make a [-]% guarantee, I will bet on raising the lawyer's reputation, dear friend."
In the enchantment, in conjunction with the phalanx's stabbing advance, Gray swung Yad, who had transformed into a scythe, over his head, cutting off a row of spirits who were trying to attack the phalanx from the flanks, and Sfin was also on the other side. Side does the same thing.
This is the trickiest of all the servants involved in the war.Shortly after the start of the war, the identities of the heroic spirits were successively revealed, but the identity of the servant who obtained the rank of Archer remained a mystery.From the battle information collected, it can be seen that this Servant known as Archer has never used any ability that matches his class, which means that he still has an undisclosed ultimate treasure.
Gray looked at these hyena-like evocative spirits. They seemed to have the ability to autonomously search for weaknesses in the formation. In front of the huge Macedonian phalanx, these attackers seemed very small, but once they were penetrated, they seemed to be pierced into the body. Like a needle, it hurts more than ever.There is no doubt that they successfully blocked the marching speed of the army formation, but that's all to a certain extent. This is just Archer's defense method that uses offense as defense.
So what is his attack method?Gray couldn't help but suspect that her tension hadn't abated over time.The inherent enchantment can weaken the magic power of the trapped hero, so why did he choose this delaying strategy?
"He's a radiation mutant."
When passing by her, Sifen said so.Gray suddenly remembered the teacher's analysis of this heroic spirit.He is a heroic spirit from the future timeline, so the Master living in the current timeline will know nothing about him.Radiation mutation is a theory derived from modern science, and it was just an inference in the era they lived in.Most magicians keep a distance from modern science, and even have a contemptuous and disgusting attitude, so they regard modern magic, which sometimes uses the products of modern science for magic research, as an alien.But this is precisely their increasingly prominent advantages.
Radiation mutants have powerful division and regeneration capabilities, because their physique is too close to the state of the undead, a product of magic, and the teacher has also carefully studied this research.The powerful replication and regeneration speed of cells allowed him to heal quickly even if he suffered any degree of fatal trauma.
"Hey! Do you want to lift the ban on the holy gun? There is no time now."
Yade turned the eyeballs on the sickle to remind them that another group of summoned spirits was attacking them.
'Don't activate the holy gun! '
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from her heart.Gray stopped the movement in his hands, and Yard pulled her to swing another blow.
"teacher?"
Gray realized the source of the sound, and the enchantment they were in now was the source of magic power from the teacher, so he could interfere with the enchantment to some extent.
'Activate Yad's shield status. '
"Understood." Although she didn't know anything about what was going to happen next, Gray still believed that the teacher would not give orders without preparation.
At the same time, she saw Iskandar driving a chariot and Sfin, who was fully orcish, also suddenly rushed out from the front of the formation, ran over the swarming spirit callers, and directly hit Archer's body.Sfin tore Archer's body apart, and the mighty chariot completely flattened him, and his figure seemed to disappear.
In the retreating smoke, Gray saw the amazing self-healing power of radiation mutants.A pile of fuzzy flesh and blood stood up from the gravel, and gradually regained its human form at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Humph……"
There was a sneer on the corner of Archer's mouth, as if mocking those opponents who had hoped to win with one blow and were defeated by him.However, before he could put away his smile, it froze on his face.
In front of the distant military formation, a person slowly emerged like a mirage.With his appearance, the originally sunny sky in the enchantment was covered by a star-studded night sky.
He suddenly tightened his pupils, and quickly raised his finger to point at the figure that hadn't yet formed, and a dazzling white light shot out from between his fingers.
Grey, who was ready, raised her shield and stood in front of the teacher.
The impact of the light beam on the shield brought an unexpected impact. Gray tried his best to resist the shield, but was still pushed back several meters by the impact. A small part of the shield was sunk in the gravel, leaving a deep trail Mark of.
Feeling a pair of hands supporting her body, she turned her head and saw the teacher standing behind her.
"Grey, something is wrong! This power is not magic!" Yad exclaimed.If it is an ordinary magic bullet, Yade can weaken the impact force to a certain extent by absorbing it, but he just received a real damage attack.
"This is radiation rays." The teacher explained.
"Here it goes again!" Yad yelled.
Just as Gray reacted and set up the shield, he was hit by the second beam. Archer seemed to be in a state of madness, and the beams were fired uncontrollably one after another.
"what!"
Gray let out an exclamation, and the shield flew out of her hand and landed on the ground not far away, while she fell to the other side under the reaction of the momentum.
"Master!"
She watched as Archer's beam hit the teacher, and he, who had just taken shape, was unable to move quickly.At the critical moment, Iskandar's chariot swept across the ground with the thunder, and he grabbed the teacher's arm and brought him into the chariot.
Weber turned around and looked at the place where he used to stand. It had already been turned into a piece of scorched earth, and a piece of the rear wing of the Iskandar chariot was also cut off, even tore the edge of the red cloak.
"It's dangerous, kid."
The damaged rear wing made the tank's loading area even smaller, and Iskandar held Webb in his arms to prevent him from falling out of the vehicle during the bumps.
"Grey!"
Wei Bo leaned out of the car to look for the figure of his disciple.
"Don't worry, she's there."
Iskandar turned the direction of the chariot, and Weber saw the fully animalized Sfin holding Gray in his arms, avoiding Archer's pursuit.Weber breathed a sigh of relief.
"So you've figured out a countermeasure?"
Iskandar let the chariot fly higher and looked up at the sky. He had never seen such a scene in his own inherent barrier.There are bright stars hanging in the night sky, and there are more than a dozen unusually bright stars among them, slowly across the sky, leaving silver trails, the number of stars is still increasing, and they have obtained modern The knowledgeable Iskandar could see that those moving stars were not natural creations.
"Did you overlap the enchanted sky with the real sky?"
"Archer's Noble Phantasm can summon satellites in orbit and use laser weapons of the future era to attack. The target is our base. I used Miss Olga Marie's star magic as a medium to capture the entire sky into an inherent barrier .”
Waver was answering Iskandar's question while counting the satellites in the sky.
… Thirty, 31, 32.
It's now.
'Grey, activate the holy gun! '
"Huh? At this time!" Grey, who heard the teacher's voice from her heart, couldn't help but exclaimed.She was being held in Sfin's arms at the moment, avoiding fatal attacks while moving quickly, and she had never launched the holy gun while moving.
"I will try my best to remain stable. Dear Grey, please believe in the teacher and yourself, you can definitely do it!"
Unexpectedly, one day she would feel at ease because of hearing Sven's voice, and Grey was greatly encouraged.She held Yad in her arms and began to sing the complicated spell with all her heart.
"Gray...Rave...Crave...Deprave..."
"Rider, wait for Gray to knock down Archer, and stop the chariot in front of him!" Weber kept a close eye on Archer's movements, and kept moving his position in order to chase Sfin and Gray.
"Graveme... Grave... for you..."
Under Grey's spell, Yad's mechanism box split from the center, and a golden beam of light burst out of the shell.
"Holy spear, pull the anchor!"
Seeing the light beam that Grey held in her hand, Sfin knew that the harness that restricted Yad's body had been untied, and this was the true form of her weapon.He hugged Gray tightly, reversed the state of dodging just now, and turned to face Archer who was chasing after him.
"The gun that shines at the end!"
The beam of light shot out from the girl's hand and hit Archer head-on. Under the power of the holy spear that split the world, Archer's body was impacted to the distance of the barrier.
Iskandar set up his chariot and rushed towards Archer's position at full speed.Waver took his hand and stood up from the shaking chariot.
He raised his left finger to point to the sky, and the 32 satellites flickered strangely with his movements.
"Stars... Cosmos... Gods... Animus..."
He chanted the spell of the Animsfia family, and a dazzling red light lit up in the dim light.
"Covered force!"
With his falling fingers, 32 laser beams shot out from the red light at the same time, as if the arrows of judgment from heaven finally converged on the same point.
Unable to withstand such intensive blows, Iskandar's barrier was also shattered.
…………
After the violent shock, Gray felt that she was hugged by a warm body, she slowly opened her eyes, and saw that she and Sven had landed on the open space in front of Liudong Temple together.Just when she was about to breathe a long sigh of relief, she was suddenly attracted by the golden light falling from the sky in front of her eyes.
The Holy Grail slowly fell from the golden halo emerging from the sky, with a holy glow.Gray saw Iskandar and the teacher standing facing each other, ready to welcome this moment of glory that belonged to each other.
"Impossible..." Sifen murmured, "It is impossible for the teacher who is sent to the enchantment with a spiritual body to maintain a physical body in this world..."
Gray seemed to understand what he meant, she stood up and ran towards them regardless of the pain in her body.
…………
Iskandar looked at Weber in front of him, and smiled at himself in the light of the Holy Grail.
"Glory is at hand."
Weber nodded lightly, and raised his hand to welcome the Holy Grail together with him.
The moment his fingertips touched the Holy Grail, Iskandar saw that Weber closed his eyes, and his body began to melt into pieces of golden light, gradually dissipating in the light of the Holy Grail from bottom to top. .
At the same time, Iskandar felt that his body also changed in an instant. The sacred power disappeared from his body, and it was replaced by a sense of reality that could not be compared to an entity.
He stared blankly at his hand, and suddenly there was a burst of emptiness and loss in his heart, and he found that he could no longer feel the soul that was intimately connected with him.
TBC.
