Chapter 18
Where are the Caster and Avenger teams usually hiding?This must be a question that every master-slave pair in the Fourth Holy Grail War desperately wants an answer to.
You know, their tracks are so concealed that even Hassan Baimao, who have extremely strong intelligence gathering capabilities and found out the workshop before Weber moved into the Hyatt Hotel, can't catch the tail of their whereabouts.
If it weren't for the blasphemy ceremony brewing at the Great Holy Grail, it seems that even Avenger can't interfere any more, and this Avenger ran out to wander by himself, and the church's aura plate proved that basically all seven knights were in place, I'm afraid everyone would have Doubt you got the timing of the Holy Grail War wrong?
──Will Caster be round or square?
──Are the Servants representing "magicians" really in place?
……
Everyone has questions about this unknown Servant.Even now that all the participants have been confirmed and some masters have learned Caster's real name, everyone still wants to see Caster with their own eyes, and obtain the five circles that can most intuitively understand the strength of a Servant... plus the Noble Phantasm level, it is six circles The data.
But no one hoped that the second Holy Grail War master-servant meeting would be held on such an occasion.
On this day, Caster wore a fancy dress comparable to a carnival, and blatantly appeared on the busy street!The time was one day after the surveillance network was set up, and the location was the intersection closest to the shopping street.
The sound of horns and abuse suddenly rang out again.
Because the skinny man with a hunchback and not dressed like a normal person actually stood at the intersection, blocking the traffic, and bowed in one direction with a smile in good spirits.
──This is a psycho who escaped from a mental hospital!
"Oh, Ryunosuke, let's start this blasphemous ceremony! I will offer the best coooool to you who are like-minded, and to the holy virgin who is about to come!"
The man took his time, and with his slender fingers with sharp nails, he opened the book with a distorted face on the cover he was holding in his arms.It was Caster's Noble Phantasm, and his dear murderer Master recognized the book cover as human skin at a glance, and gave it a super cool evaluation of the Prelati's spellbook.
Seeing that Caster not only felt good about himself, but also seemed to be preparing to read aloud on the spot, even the passers-by who watched the excitement couldn't stand it anymore, and even those who wanted to dissuade them retreated. Only a few drivers who couldn't bear to be flattened got out of the car ... Then the person froze, like a sculpture, standing there stiffly and not moving.
During this period, Caster just raised his head, and with his big eyeballs protruding due to his thin cheeks, he scanned the drivers who were looking for trouble one by one.
If these drivers were rescued after the incident, they still remembered the experience and could speak normally, they would probably say in unison that at that moment, they felt the gaze of the hunters at the top of the food chain!
That is the insurmountable class barrier between humans and heroic spirits──Even Jill of Caster.De.Rice, in essence, is an evil spirit that can't even be called an anti-hero.
However, the hero is there, and the fact that he has a place in the Hall of Valor will not be shaken by this mutation.
"──Lord's lost lamb...you can't wait too? Then come, come! Let us praise the Lord with guilt! Let us, pull down the high Lord from the throne! Lord, be holy! Sacrifice for the return of the virgin!"
During the day, in the downtown area, not facing the sea.
Caster has no scruples, and launched a large-scale summoning ceremony against the sea monster.
The wave of magic power caused by the summoning of sea monsters is violent.In the perception of each group of magicians and heroic spirits, the degree of eye-catching is comparable to the fireworks that explode in the sky at night without light.
What's more, Caster still doesn't know that it's no secret that Luoyucheng Jiaoben can summon giant sea monsters.This information was announced by the Ruler group to all the participants—including the Church and Assassin groups that were always excluded, as well as the new Berserker group that is currently in a semi-exited state.
Regardless of the standpoint and reason, don't let the sea monsters come, guarding the mystery of magic is a tacit understanding shared by everyone.
However, everyone knows that successfully stopping the summoning is only the most idealized assumption; Caster's sea monster summoning has a high probability of being irreversible once it starts.
Therefore, as the land managers of Fuyuki City, the Tohsaka family first exerted their efforts in order to firmly root in the secular contacts in the land of the Far East!
Afterwards, in all the places near the water in Fuyuki City, the magicians who participated in the Holy Grail War unexpectedly and tacitly made arrangements according to their own specialties without discussion, and tried to echo Ruler's rune magic as much as possible.
In view of the above arrangements, the first time they sensed the tide of magic power, the vigilance directions of the Masters and Servants in each group were almost staggered—the magicians collectively looked at Weiyuanchuan, which was most likely to be the place of summoning; Those who are still locked in the shopping street generation from the very beginning.
At this time, the Ruler team was patrolling the streets.
When they found out that the place where Caster summoned the sea monster was not the place where the record had not been changed repeatedly, but ran to the main road, the two of them were also surprised—to summon the sea monster on land...Have you asked the sea monster for their opinion?Thinking about it this way, the two of them still turned into spirit bodies and rushed to the place where the incident happened as quickly as possible.
In the area around the shopping street, there is really no plan to stop the summoning.Any smart summoner would not choose to summon seafood on land!
"That kind of big guy can still move after landing? Even if he can move, how much combat power is left? Caster is actually hungry and wants to eat seafood!" Halfway through, Cu Chulainn was still expressing his opinion.
"Tch, I think it's because you want to eat."
"You come to cook, I can eat a whole head!"
"...You really can eat anything. I'll just accept this as a compliment."
"Hey, I don't dare to eat baked things—wait a minute, dogs are not allowed! Don't give me hot dogs!" Cu Chulainn saw Emiya's mouth shape, and immediately reacted to save him.
"The main ingredient of a hot dog is pork or beef." Seeing that Cu Chulainn was excited, Emiya suddenly showed a weird smirk, and emphasized: "Do you want me to make it for you when you have time? Let's start by purchasing the raw materials and prove the inside , Really, there is no dog... Kuran's bulldog."
"Ahhh—you did it on purpose! You did it on purpose!" Cu Chulainn stared at his red vertical pupils, as if "speaking of hot dogs again, let's have a fight first".
Cu Chulainn certainly knows that there is no dog meat in hot dogs, but there are so many records that his soul has been vomited by the name "hot dog". He just hates hot dogs!There is a psychological shadow!Who dares to say no!
The blue heroic spirit was irritable, but he didn't forget to observe the red one's expression.
Unexpectedly, the man's face tightened again, his lips were pursed into a line, and the steel gray pupils darkened, as if covered with a layer of gray. No matter how you look at it, it is very close to the top of the building when you first came to this world line. The guardian The stupefied state during task execution.
The reason... probably is that it's close.
"I said, whether you are dead or excited, you still have to fight. How bad is this? Your mood will also affect your combat effectiveness."
"...I'm not like you. You can't find pleasure in battle."
Avoiding the person who stopped in front of him one step after materialization, as if he didn't hear Cu Chulainn's muttering "It's obviously fun to fight with me, you liar", Emiya stared at the expanding commotion below.
Under the influence of the connections of the Tohsaka family, the police came very quickly, and the evacuation of the crowd was already underway.However, human curiosity and power to kill are infinite, the more the police leave Caster alone and evacuate them, the more people among the onlookers will want to stay and find out.
In the end, the on-duty policemen, who were under pressure from above, had to use coercive means—how can the scene not be chaotic?
Now, directly taking away the source of disaster is the fastest way to reduce damage, Emiya opened her lips and chanted: "I am the bone of my sword (I am the bone of the sword I hold). Steelismybody, andfireismyblood (blood tide is like iron, heart is like glass)..."
This suggestive incantation is also the epitome of a man's short life: rushing to the battlefield, never retreating, not knowing himself, and can only stand on the top of the sword hill and be drunk in victory alone.
"...Yet, those hands will never hold anything (therefore, this life is meaningless). Soas Ipray, unlimited bladeworks (then this body is destined to be born with a sword)!"
In an instant, the mental landscape belonging to the guardian invaded reality.Inherent Enchantment: Unlimited Sword System──Expand!
At about the same time, Archer's Vimona appeared in the sky over the scene of the incident; Lancer came along in Rider's oxcart; Saber and Irisviel arrived in a racing car!However, it was someone else who arrived at the scene first—even earlier than Caster.
His name is Emiya Kiritsugu.
When Caster was about to make trouble, Kiritsugu was standing under the arcade eating a hamburger, and the straight-line distance between the two was less than a road away.
Immediately, the Magician Killer stayed away from that intersection without hesitation, and called his assistant Maiya for instructions.Immediately afterwards, he began to look for Caster's Master.
As described by Ruler's Master, the man has orange hair and is a very ordinary image of a college student.In other words, the appearance of the murderer has no characteristics.
But the orange-haired young man who would stand on the top floor of a commercial building and wave vigorously at Caster, and put his hands on the megaphone near his mouth and shout "Danna", Emiya Kiritsugu looked around and only saw one conspicuous, There is no hiding consciousness at all.And there was a Command Seal on the back of his hand, and another thin man in black armor stood beside him.
──No one is more suspicious than him.
"……Reached?"
"arrive."
"Find a location where you can snipe the sunny side of the red brick commercial building and stand by." After finishing speaking, Kiritsugu hung up the phone, put the binoculars back into the black suitcase he carried, and prepared to leave the rooftop of the building under his feet.
The keynote that Emiya Kiritsugu set for himself in the Holy Grail War was to beat people and not ghosts, because "humans" are the weakness of "ghosts".So he doesn't think about confronting Caster head-on, even if Caster is also a magician; in the same way, it's not wrong to understand Assassin as a killer, and he is a colleague, Kiritsugu doesn't intend to easily conflict with him, even if he blocks the way .
"What does Kotomine Kirei want to do?"
"Master Kirei ordered me to assist you in what you want to do next. Please rest assured, this is not an alliance. My lord only wants you to consider answering his question."
"My answer may not be what he wants."
"That's up to Kirei-sama to judge for himself." The well-proportioned Assassin's polite but tough voice sounded from behind the skull mask.
Obviously, this is a mandatory show of favor, and there is no "NO" option.
Emiya Kiritsugu dared to say that even if Kotomine Kirei was not nearby, he must be rushing here, so that an Assassin who couldn't be driven away would appear, sticking to him as the Master's coordinates.
That being the case, why not borrow ready-made assistance?Emiya Kiritsugu lit a cigarette, took a sip, went through the plan in his head, and finally asked Assassin: "Will the fire alarm be triggered?"
"no problem."
Assassin directly stated that he and the Master are online throughout the entire process, and there are no obstacles to using various modern facilities.Then he became a temporary member of Kiritsugu's team, accompanying the magician killer to stretch out his claws on the commercial building──
When Caster's snail city teaching book spit out a dark purple unknown substance that resembles gas and liquid; when Emiya and Cu Chulainn rushed to the scene and prepared to use the inherent enchantment to hide the sea monster as planned; Hisu Maiya accepted the order When the fire alarm goes off, aim at Caster and Avenger's Master and fire!
So all the Servants who rushed to the scene to encircle Caster's summons witnessed the following scene together:
In the dark purple pollutants, the giant sea monster wraps Caster in its body with a thick wall of flesh, and descends into the world waving its tentacles full of suckers. Once it appears, it immediately causes panic and screams. , There are no people who want to stay at the scene to find out.
Who would have thought that this gigantic monster had just triggered a wave of terror, demolished the building and destroyed the car, before killing anyone, something dark red flashed past, and the terrifying monster disappeared in a blink of an eye!
A group of ordinary people who suspected of collective hallucinations were stunned.
All kinds of terrified shouts were suddenly cut off collectively, and the fire alarm of the nearby commercial building naturally became extremely harsh, and the employees who were evacuated from the building immediately became the new focus of attention.
However, this attention was not maintained for even a minute, and people's attention was immediately attracted by a louder sound, and those who were close immediately ran away with their heads in their arms!Those who were far away were stunned, just wanting to know what the hell is today?Supernatural events and terrorist attacks go hand in hand!
Yes, that commercial building—the one where Ryunosuke Yusheng stayed on the top floor, the fire spread from the bottom up, the smoke and dust billowed, and the whole building was blown down on the spot!
