Chapter 25: The First Escape
There are some things that X will probably never know.
For example, why did Aya Maki come to the X training camp.
The training camp is a secret agency directly under the Magic Association, and it is strange that Aya Maki will be added to it.
This shows that there must be some degree of deal between Aya Maki and the Magic Association.
In fact, Aya Maki did.
As one of the three families of the Holy Grail War, the Maki family has considerable resources, although the [magic bloodline] of the Maki family is gradually declining, but the [cultural heritage] of the Maki family has not decreased, especially the classical magic books, and some rare magic props, and the theory of family magic.
In particular, the Maki family is the family that wrote the Holy Grail War [Servant Summon] system. The guild is still very interested in this secret art.
So, Aya Maki seized this opportunity and made a deal.
"I can hand over to you all of the rich magical heritage of the Maki family, but on the other hand, I need your support for me."
For the Magic Society, it's a no-lose deal.
For one, the training camp does need people to replenish. Second, the Magic Association is indeed covetous of the legacy of the Kirito family.
If Aya Maki wins, then she will be able to get the inheritance of the Maki family. If he loses, then there is nothing to lose to himself. Assassin or something, it's just a relatively easy prop, the association calculated, and the remaining 25 assassins are enough to be used for the next batch of [Emiya Kiritsugu] to be produced.
As for, why did Aya Maki choose X......
Speaking of which, the reasons are ...... It's ridiculous.
Because......
X is for brunette.
It's the same as that person, the night of the wild goose.
The man had beautiful black hair before he was infested by bugs. However, when he heard his mother mention it, his body was gray because of the encroachment of insects, his hair was gray, half of his body could not move, and he could only eat liquid food, and that person's goal was simply to liberate his mother.
Sakura told her this story so that she could understand not to try to resist her grandfather, Kiri's dirty inkstone.
And what Aya Maki read from it was the realization of the black-haired man.
In the training camp, there is only X as a hard-working and hard-working black-haired trainee with excellent grades.
That's what it is...... The reason why he was chosen by Aya Makiri.
A very stupid, naïve, romantic, meaningless reason.
By the way, when Aya Maki and X destroyed the Winster family, the Magic Association was thinking about how to make the most of this incident.
And in the past few days when X was late, Aya Maki struggled with whether to wait, and in the end, X still didn't come.
Probably, he was ambushed.
Aya Maki understands this.
Perhaps, it was a reaction halfway, right?
In short, he did not come.
Aya Maki went on the road alone.
The confrontation with grandpa, to be honest, there is nothing to say.
It's just a matter of meeting and pretending to be polite, and then, just detonate the explosives of the magic circuit in your hand.
As a result, X saw, the big house was completely blown to pieces.
And Aya Makiri...... Because of this blow, a tragic price was paid.
Of course, she herself received a very serious impact, and what was even more terrifying was that although she killed the body of Jian Tong's dirty inkstone, she did not kill him completely. In order to live for a long time, Jian Tong Dirty Yan has long abandoned his body. Now he is just a wizened old man made up of a bunch of rotten insects and flesh and blood. Every once in a while, the flesh has to be replenished, and it is an out-and-out old monster.
Aya's injured body was invaded by the life-saving insects of the dirty inkstone. This old man with a bad taste has long buried the worm he used to save his life in the body of Aya, if one day, he dies unexpectedly, he can forcibly occupy Aya's body and continue to live.
He can sacrifice everything in order to survive on his own.
From that moment on, Aya Makiri no longer exists, and what X sees is a dirty inkstone.
Thousands of flying insects are driven to entrench in the disgusting insect nest of the winter wood......
Under the night sky, behind X's speeding figure, dragged a large number of strange insects that could not be named.
It can be seen that the power of the Jian Tong Dirty Inkstone is not strong enough, although it is entrenched in his granddaughter's body, but the magic mark is destroyed by the strong blow, and most of it is not too much magic power. Otherwise, with the magic attainments of the Dirty Inkstone, it is easy to crush a magic novice like X.
The fast-flying insects, the sound of flapping wings one after another, just listening to it makes people feel that their ears are about to be deaf, and the insects led by them have sharp steel hairs, which are erected one by one, aiming at the back of X, and firing round by round.
Fortunately, the magic power of the Dirty Inkstone has not recovered now, and it cannot generate the poison of the magic power, otherwise, these steel needles will be enough to make X deadly.
These bugs are so fast that if X hadn't run with all his might, I'm afraid they would have been caught up.
Surrounded by bugs, you're dead. Referring to his instructor, he was caught by Aya's wing blade worm and was swallowed whole......
If you ...... yourself
And...... Not only flying insects, but also various ambushes in the city. For example, you can feel the pursuing crypt worms under the ground, and the shelling insects on the high-rise buildings spew acid, as if the entire city was treated as a battlefield for the dirty inkstone.
Rao is X level is amazing, and the biggest weakness of spiral magic is still highlighted, that is, the sustained power is not enough, and the calf muscles have begun to be burned because of the too frequent use of magic, although it can't be seen, but under the solid skin, the muscles have begun to be burned into hot blood. Gradually, the meaning of the leg is lost.
Can't hold it anymore?
X only felt that his body was hot everywhere, his back was hot when he was pierced by steel needles, his legs were hot when he was shaking excessively, he was not carrying a weapon, and his fingers that blindly fought back with curse bullets also began to get hot, and his body was about to be unable to hold on.
This kind of magic that bursts out with great power on the premise of hurting oneself is destined to be used only as a sharp knife for sneak attacks.
Enemy bugs, the number is endless.
At this point, X is at an absolute disadvantage. It would be nice to be able to replenish weapons.
Molotov cocktails, or whatever, that's fine.
Just as he was silently complaining in his heart, two flying insects burning with phosphorus fire on his body quickly pounced on his back, booming twice, and the high temperature generated by the insects' self-explosion suddenly exploded his back!
Damn it......
X endured the pain, and with a force on his feet, he jumped sideways to dodge. An arrow step, dodged away.
What he needed was a plan to get rid of these pesky flying insects.
Not far away.
Probably, it can only be where, right?
Forced to endure the sharp pain in his calf, X once again instilled the magic of the spiral in his leg, and in order to destroy it, he radiated magic in one breath and shot out like a cannonball.
The direction of aiming is the Weiyuan River in Fuyuki Town.
On the wide river, the Fuyuki Bridge is full of people.
Once the site of the Great Battle of the Holy Grail War, Caster Guildley once summoned a giant sea demon here, and although the sea demon was destroyed, that history was passed down as an urban legend and remained in Winterwood forever.
What's even more strange is that I don't know how it was spread, but in the end, it turned out to be on the Weiyuan River, and the couple's hearts reflected each other, and they could see the golden light that soared into the sky, bless the two.
Presumably it's a little trick in the travel industry again.
At night, bustling couples gathered on the bridge, talking and laughing, everyone was paying attention to their lover, no one was paying attention, and a man was speeding across the sky. With a pop, it fell into the water.
"What? What was that? ”
"Could it be a manifestation?!"
Cries like these rang out at the same time, and the air was filled with the smell of noise.
If it's underwater, you'll be able to protect yourself as much as possible from those damn bugs, right?
However, as a price, X's legs gradually lost their strength, and his hot body was robbed of temperature by the cold river, but he couldn't show his head yet.
Without relying on their legs, human diving is very slow. Thankfully, there are no ferocious man-eating fish in the river, otherwise X would have really died.
However, there is no difference between him and death now. Losing his legs, losing support, what the hell did he ...... What to do?
Before entering the water, he tried to hold a breath of oxygen, how far could he escape with this breath?
