Chapter 20
Chapter 20
Although the sea monster summoned by Caster showed tenacious vitality, it died a little slower. After all, it fell under the prodigal tactic of bombing treasures for no money. Emiya blasted away the heavy wall in front of Caster's position; Cu Chulainn again Followed by setting fire to prevent the sea monster from healing itself, the book that was connected to the sea monster by countless nerves like Caster, and placed in front of Caster's Luoyan city textbook, lost all cover.
The remaining human skin book with a function of the magic perpetual furnace was completely exposed to the range of Diarmuid's throwing gun.
Fiona's chief warrior has no distractions, and only the ominous human skin book remains in his honey-golden eyes. He uses his body as a bow and gun as an arrow, and throws all his might!The demon-breaking red rose turned into a ray of light and shot out!
──Middle!
The tip of the spear penetrated the face on the cover of the Noble Phantasm, and pierced out from the back of Caster's heart.The power of breaking the demon destroyed the treasure, and Yu Wei also seriously damaged Caster's spiritual core.
The shape constructed by magic power began to disintegrate, like this for Caster, like this for Noble Phantasms, and likewise for Sea Demon.However, there are also some strange things that remain with Caster's last words.
"Welcome back to the saint! The other me, Gilles de Rais, will take my leave for the time being."
When he was dying, he said so, and his expression and tone finally became a little sober.It's a pity that it's not good thoughts that wake up, but more profound obsessions that are neither good nor evil.
And... that tone was too sure, and it always sounded a bit ominous.
You must know that the supposedly colorless magic power of the Fuyuki Holy Grail has long been dyed black. As long as you make a wish, no matter how lofty your wish is, it will be maliciously distorted and realized in the worst possible way.
"Whether the purification of the Holy Grail is successful or not, the wish will be made, right?" Emiya can only guess like this.The two Servants are murdering and offering sacrifices, and they are extreme acts of creating panic, which has fully demonstrated the madness of unscrupulous means in order to achieve the wish entrusted to the Holy Grail.
──Although there is only one left now, and it seems to have brains and tactics...
The brain is thinking, which does not prevent Emiya from observing.He naturally followed the experienced Saber and Lancer, and set his sights on another point that was temporarily empty.
The King of Heroes said that there is not one sea monster. Two human skins brought two sea monsters. I don't know if the army of the conquering king can be defeated?
Rider is not like him and Cu Chulainn, there is no cap on mana consumption, and there is no pressure to open the treasure repeatedly, and it will not be pressured to open it for a long time.In the records, Rider often had to "spit" the sea monster in the end, and then relied on Saber's treasure to achieve a one-hit kill.
"Wait and see the situation. If necessary, come to the Prison of Fire again."
"no problem."
While reading the words, Cu Chulainn readily agreed.Then he asked Emiya to go to see the "strange thing" left by the sea monster. The first thing he noticed was the curly, sucker-like, scented... tentacles.
Ah, there is more than one!
"It seems to be because of Lao Tzu's magic power." Cu Chulainn's voice was a little weird, as if he couldn't laugh or cry, "The sea monsters who cooked meat were no longer wanted, and they were left as Lao Tzu's things."
"Oh." The ending sound rose subtly. Emiya withdrew her gaze and said blankly, "I'll find a way to get it back myself."
"Oh!"
Kuran's bulldog cheered, and if it really had a tail, it would have flicked wildly.He had already considered the issue of transporting. The Jin Glittering, whose main body dominates the spirit, can also be negotiated at the expense of delicious food.
Now... since no matter how cooked the ingredients are, they can't be kept for a long time. After a long time, the chef can't do anything about it. Naturally, the most important thing is to make a quick decision!
So Cu Chulainn turned his head and joined the squatting team.
"coming."
Someone whispered that there was also something appearing from the void at that location... First, there was a flashing thunder, then a strong divine bull, and then the sound of King Conqueror's driving, and the wheels of the divine power passed through the inherent barrier and returned to reality!
There are no sea monsters around.
The divine bull pulled the chariot around for a circle before it dissipated. The thunder slowed down, and the King of Conquerors stepped off the chariot in front of everyone, took out another thing from the chariot and threw it on the ground.
"One size smaller is not good! Yu collapsed before he conquered it." Iskandar explained the battle situation in one sentence, and there was still a bit of dissatisfaction on his rough face—such an opponent who was not good enough in the middle of the road was not enough at all. Qualified to compete with the experienced warriors in the army of his king!
Needless to say, the eye-catching Noble Phantasm he threw on the ground was the teaching book of Luoyan City.This treasure, now looks a bit dilapidated.
Lightly kicking the human leather book, Emiya asked: "Only the treasure, but no summoner?"
"Mmm, no." He was asked solemnly, and the King of Conquerors thought about it seriously, but the answer was still no.
Of course, whether it is affirmative or negative, it does not prevent Diarmuid from using the demon-breaking red rose to completely end the service life of this evil treasure.
In the same way, it will not prevent Iskandar from recruiting Diarmuid every day since Weber moved his workshop: "What a good ability, Lancer. Think again, join my army?"
"Let me refuse. Rider." Diarmuid was a little helpless.If the frequency of using this sentence increases, it will become his mantra.
Rider returned from victory, and the sleepy urban area really fell silent.
If the King of Heroes hadn't reminded Avenger that Avenger was still at the scene, the two sea monsters had already been cleaned up, and everyone would have disbanded and returned to their respective homes.
At this sensitive moment, any footsteps that suddenly intervene will cause vigilance, let alone the sound source comes from the ruins of a collapsed building where everyone who should run has come out.
The black armored Servant with pale complexion, who looked thin even in the armor, and Shi Shiran appeared with the master who summoned the sea demon as a pad on his shoulder and was exhausted and unconscious.
He stood at a distance from them.
"Meeting for the first time, Rider, Lancer, and Saber... Oh, sure enough! Such a clear fighting spirit and awe-inspiring demeanor──If it was only me in Caster, I would definitely mistake you for Joan of Arc... You guys really look alike. "Avenger pulled his lips, probably smiling.
It's just that there are blood lines extending from the neck on his face, making his smile very inconspicuous.
"Then, the next meeting will be a decisive battle. I will welcome the return of the Saintess on the battlefield, and I welcome you to honor me." As he spoke, he bowed slightly, and his figure was fading.
You can tell that Avenger is about to retreat. How can the others do what he wants?
The gun is originally a weapon suitable for assault. The agility of Diarmuid A+ has the most powerful instantaneous burst speed.
The red rose was about to hit the location of Avenger's chest core.
But there is no real feeling at all.
The knight of the spear immediately realized that this spear attack was useless. The blurred figure was different from the spiritual form, and was really withdrawing and transferring from this space.
But in terms of attracting attention, it must be the thing that flashed over his head.
──The Holy Grail of the subspecies.
For Emiya and Cu Chulainn, this trick has been seen for the second time.It seems that the appearance of the phantom of the Holy Grail is not to show off, but to use this method to escape from the battlefield.
Diarmuid had no desire for the Holy Grail, and Iskandar also knew what the Fuyuki Holy Grail was all about, and the anomaly had little effect on them, but Saber couldn't.
Both Emiya Kiritsugu and Saber are too obsessed, so they are not as good as Caster's "Jean of Arc" cancer.Although Emiya spent a lot of effort to instill in them the idea that "the Holy Grail is problematic, the Holy Grail is problematic, and the Holy Grail is problematic", it is still far from making them give up the Holy Grail completely.
When seeing that fleeting phantom, Artoria forgot to even attack, and Irisviel's eyes widened in disbelief.
Obviously her little Holy Grail is still here and can still move, and the recovery of a Servant can't even affect her functions—why the Holy Grail has already been born?
"...No, the Holy Grail...the Holy Grail is still there..." No one can deceive the Little Holy Grail in such a matter.
Artoria still doesn't know the identity of Irisviel's Little Holy Grail, but she is willing to believe in Irisviel's judgment. Hearing the murmur that seemed to detect something with a special method, the King of Knights finally calmed down a little. His eyes naturally turned to the Ruler group who were really unmoved.
There is no aggressive behavior, but the Knight King's eyes are particularly oppressive at this time.She seemed to be asking, "Aren't you still hiding important news that shouldn't be kept private?"
Cu Chulainn didn't like this; but Emiya, who had mostly vague memories during her lifetime, was instinctively willing to eat it.Fortunately, the guardian's actor skill was activated early, and he had just experienced Saber's "knowledge-seeking eye wave attack", which had been buffered, so he frowned and forcibly tensed his expression, without showing any flaws.
Between Saber and Ruler's group, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Ring ring ring ring──"
The cell phone on Irisviel's body rang very timely.It's just that the beautiful androids who grew up in the castle and had the most contact with alchemy are obviously not very good at using technological products. Holding the mobile phone in a hurry for a while, they even glanced for help at the servants who were even less likely to be familiar with modern technology.
"Give it to me." Emiya walked over slowly.
Saber hesitated for a few seconds but gave up stopping, allowing Irisviel to hand over the phone that kept ringing.Then everyone heard that Emiya seemed to be chatting with an acquaintance, talking to the other end of the phone for a while──
"Hello? Mr. Emiya... Ah, of course I know it's you, she is your wife... It seems that the evacuation work went smoothly after the bombing, and I have time to monitor from a distance and make phone calls when I have time... Um, Information exchange? Mr. Emiya, I still remember the first exchange of information with you. You are not a good transaction partner──But I do have the intention of gathering everyone to hold an information sharing conference, so I am willing to start A little bit more sincerity."
Having said that, the mobile phone was returned to Irisviel.
"Hold it, I turned on the speaker so that Emiya Kiritsugu can hear it." He confessed, taking a few steps back, "Then, let's answer a question that everyone is more curious about first and be sincere."
Emiya disarmed her body and returned to her original black shirt and black trousers.Then, he took out a number of broken runestones from his pocket──"Here, this is the truth about becoming a subservant."
"In the séance, there is a way to let the previous life possess the body to learn skills; I just have a future to become a heroic spirit, and theoretically I can do the opposite."
He smiled here, his smile was extremely ironic, and he obviously didn't think it was an honor to be promoted to the Seat of Heroes.Then he went on to say: "Although Ruler and I arrived in Fuyuki late, the contract was signed very early. It was Ruler who discovered this fact and found a way to turn the theory into a practical combat force."
"──Is this answer sincere enough?"
The brown-skinned man folded his arms, his steel gray eyes didn't blink, he looked at Saber calmly, and after a pause, he cleverly added: "I've been guessing that I was forced to be Ruler's Master, saying This may also be the reason; otherwise, the "salary" of the Servant who stayed behind would be no less than making a wish on the Holy Grail."
"... Rest in peace, boy. Emiya is making up random things with your example." Cu Chulainn looked at the sky and said silently to Shirou Emiya of the Fifth Holy Grail War in any world line.
He finally knew the reason why someone kept carrying broken runestones in their pockets, and specifically requested that the mana be exhausted and shattered.
Ganqing has long thought that if he accidentally reveals his secrets and needs to be remedied, he will be pulled out as a shield, right?Anyway, Ruler can also be used as Caster!Anyway, Caster is good at magic!
The sad thing is that Cu Chulainn knows that no matter who asks him, he will only agree with Emiya's set of words-hehehehe...he is really a good collaborator...when the two of them are in the same room, no matter in No, he will definitely ask for compensation!Just wait, Emiya!
Son of Light clenched his fist and swore to himself.
The King of Conquerors, a Servant who already knew that the Ruler group is a combination of two heroic spirits, paid attention to him when he had time, and gave him a heroic smile of "I understand" by the way.
Like the three members of the Saber group and Diarmuid, they were a little dizzy from the twists and turns; they were also dizzy when they were threatened with command spells and called Saber, and they were pointed at guns. The Assassin team, who had no choice but to let Emiya Kiritsugu leave; and the new Berserker team, who couldn't help but care about the battle situation even after signing the self-mandatory certificate...or Tokiomi Tohsaka himself.
However, this answer sounds much more reliable than the statement that servants were used as rewards for participating in the battle as referees at the beginning!It’s easy to understand if you don’t say it at the beginning. A magician who has never seen such an alternative method of spiritual seancement will feel that the truth is a lie!
"...I accept this 'sincerity'." The voice of Emiya Kiritsugu representing the Saber team came from the mobile phone, and he asked calmly: "When and where is the information sharing meeting? I hope to have all the information about Avenger, including that Something like the Holy Grail."
"Just tonight. Ruler's familiar will inform you of the detailed time and place."
"understood."
Emiya Kiritsugu cut off the contact on his own initiative, turned on the mobile phone with loudspeaker, and immediately heard the blind voice of "beep beep beep".
