Chapter 197: Rin's Anxiety
Rin Tosaka felt anxious and became more and more anxious as time went on.
Because of the battle with Shinji.
At the same time that Gilgamesh and Skaha were at war, a little earlier than the two kings to be exact, the pair of young girls had already started the war first.
For what happened ten years ago, in order to settle the long-standing grievances between the Tosaka family and the Maki family.
Unlike Skaha and Gilgamesh, who faced off in a fair match, Rin came prepared, so prepared that even she felt it was too much.
How excessive?
Needless to say, the golden apple, the water of life, and the leather armor that have been exposed, in addition to this, Rin has also prepared four special moves.
The first is the Treasure Seal.
This is the handiwork of Gilgamesh.
He had originally planned to give Rin enough treasures for her to fight against Shinji. But later it was discovered that the number and types of treasures owned by Shinji were too abnormal. If you follow this line of thought, not to mention the difference in experience, just maintaining the manifestation of the treasure itself will bring a lot of pressure to Rin - it's not that his treasure can't be turned into a spiritual child, and he is extracting magic power all the time.
So, the hero king who entered the virtuous king mode changed his thinking. If you can't spell the treasure, you won't just spell the treasure, and you will be sealed directly. He prepared an enchantment-type treasure similar to Achilles' "Spear Tip of the Sky Star" in advance, and positioned this place on the battlefield. Once on the battlefield, everything else is normal, but a Phantasm in the Spirit Child state cannot manifest as an entity unless you have already manifested it before entering the battlefield.
Shinji has the ownership of the Treasure, and can freely switch between the Spirit Child and the entity, and has long been accustomed to the Spirit Child to carry the Treasure. Rin, on the other hand, has no ownership and has carried a materialized treasure from the beginning, and this is Rin's second trick.
Considering that he has no experience with Noble Phantasm, the Noble Phantasms carried by Rin are all passive types. Mainly use protective gear and accessories to improve protection and their own hard quality. Ignoring the attack, only the defense, her equipment is stronger than Loreleia's.
You must know that in order to fulfill the king's obligation and help the daughter of the courtier, Gilgamesh paid a bloody investment and gave Rin the third most valuable treasure in addition to the Arcana "Obedient Sword" and the "All-Knowing and Almighty Star", which claimed to have been sealed.
Its name is "Mandate of Heaven Clay Tablet".
In Babylonian mythology, this is the undisputed first treasure of the valley of the two rivers, once in the hands of Tiamat and later taken by Marduk, as "the ultimate kingship over the world and the gods".
Of course, Rin can't exert such an ability, and the "Destiny Clay Tablet" won't respond to people who don't have qualifications. But even so, Rin can share some of Gilgamesh's power through the words carved by Gilgamesh herself on the clay tablet, and see some things that she couldn't see before, greatly improving her combat instincts and wisdom.
After talking about defense, let's talk about attack.
Even though Rin doesn't carry an attack Phantasm, that doesn't mean she doesn't have a strong attack. The collection in the "Treasure of the King" is full of strange items, not only treasures, but also various treasures collected by Gilgamesh during his lifetime, among which there are all kinds of precious gems, and they are national treasures that cannot be touched by the Tosaka family's wealth and status.
Anyone who knows a certain amount about gemstones has basically heard of the names of the "Star of Hope" and "Mountain of Light", and all the gems in Gilgamesh's collection are of this grade. Now, all these gems are in Rin's hands as a third trick. Gem magic relies on gemstones, and the higher the quality of the gemstones, the stronger the effect.
With them, Rin is even comparable to the large-scale spells built by Medea in terms of output.
And that's not all, in addition to these regular operations, Rin has one last hole card from the Vault. It was a task that the ancestor of the Tosaka family, Nagato Tosaka, had wanted to complete since the beginning of the "Jewel Sword" in a limited costume with the application of the second magic.
After five years of studying with the Second Magician, Rin finally completed the costume and was allowed to hold and use the sword as an individual.
She once handed over the finished product to the master master for evaluation, and the final comment was that it was perfect beyond expectations, and it was definitely rated by the Servant's Noble Phantasm, and it could definitely reach level A, and if you continue to develop, you may be able to reach EX.
It is its existence that gives Rin plenty of confidence - modern magicians will never be able to resist the edge of the jeweled sword. And Gilgamesh's generosity has made this confidence extremely strong.
Now I can defeat my enemies, no matter how strong they are—Rin thinks so.
However, reality gave her a solid slap in the face.
Even if she made four major killing moves, she still couldn't take down Shinji Kiri, the boy who she regarded as her biggest enemy since she was a child, and later as an enemy.
From beginning to end, the boy maintained a calm attitude.
Even if the treasure you have cannot be revealed.
Even if you see that you can still use the treasure.
Even if you face yourself and use a national treasure-level gem to unleash a big magic.
He also did not have any intention of being depressed, giving up, or admitting defeat.
No matter what kind of trump card he came up with, no matter how he mocked himself, he kept calm and calm, defused them one by one, and did not let himself take advantage of it in the slightest.
Low-level magic couldn't break through his own magic power, and no matter how strong it was, it couldn't damage his physically strong body.
Even if it was a high-level magic trick and a big magic, he used all kinds of strange ways to defend it.
Relics and enchantments from Buddhism.
Curses and protections from vampires.
The magic of the family heirloom of the Maki family.
Rune Magic.
Séance.
Alchemy.
Concept extraction.
There is also a physical technique that can confront the Servant head-on.
Rin couldn't figure out how much this guy had learned.
I don't understand why he wants to learn so much, specialize in one thing, and study it in depth, isn't it?
Why can't you get any of them? Combine them to create all sorts of strange effects and block your own big magic.
If that's the case, forget it, after all, the magic battle is Rin's upper hand, and if you continue to fight, you may not be able to win. But just when she thought that victory was expected, that guy suddenly broke out and performed a magic trick that far exceeded his own level, and should not even exist in modern times, tearing the little pride in the girl's heart to shreds in one fell swoop.
Witnessing the apocalyptic scene of that day, he finally used his last hole card, a polyhedral short sword made entirely of gems - "Zelretch the Jewel Sword".
It is said to be a sword, but it is actually a sword-shaped staff, which connects with infinite parallel worlds through the second magic hidden inside, and draws the magic power of each world, thereby releasing a magic power cluster comparable to that of a high-level treasure.
The highly concentrated magic enveloped the girl's body, and together with her last determination and rise, she broke through the blockade of the water dragon and the light of dusk, and rushed straight to the boy's place.
She was going to punch him in the face so hard that he could no longer maintain that hateful, condescending composure.
PS: Marduk = China's Nuwa, and it is a complete body, without the Nuwa before the legend of Pangu Kaitian, the creator god and the origin of Chinese civilization Nuwa.
PS2: Rin's current gem sword is not an inferior product projected by FSN Sergeant Lang, but an enhanced and upgraded version of the original.
PS3: When I wrote this, I suddenly thought of the ownership of the nine-character mantra seal that book friends discussed in this chapter some time ago. The nine-character mantra seal is Buddhist's, which is right, Baidu can be searched with a casual search. However, the nine-character mantra is Taoist, from Ge Hong's "Hug Puzi", and there is often a fusion of Buddhism and Taoism in China, so the Taoist mantra has become the mantra seal of Buddhism - and it is very widespread.
