Chapter 328: Two-in-One Chapter (Transition)

"Fill it, fill it, fill it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThis is five times. 0k？ ”

Ryunosuke Yusheng is a murderous demon, at least that's what the police and the media who are chasing him say, he has had this pursuit of death since he was a child, and thinks that the moment of death is the most beautiful color, and for this, many people have died in his hands.

Someone had already compared him to Jack the Ripper in London, England, which made him very proud and distressed, not because of the persistent pursuit of the police, but because he felt that there was nothing unusual about the various ways of dying, and it did not meet his requirements, so he sneaked back to his hometown, a town called Winterwood, and then found a strange book in the warehouse at home.

A book that summons demons. The above methods of killing people and sacrificing to summon demons made him very interested, so he began to experiment, looking for the location of this so-called spiritual vein, of course, although he is a murderer, but he is just an ordinary person, there is such a place, so the experiment has failed four times, and it has also made the peaceful town of Fuyuki City have terrifying rumors of continuous killings.

Today he found a few more offerings and applied their blood artistically to the walls of the room. Then he walked over to the little boy who was still alive in the corner, gagged and tied with rope, and he leaned close to the boy's face to see his reflection, and the boy's weeping eyes stared at the wreckage of his sister and parents.

"Hey, kid, do you think there really are demons?"

Ryunosuke asked the shivering child, tilting his head to look at him as if he was pretending to think. Of course, he didn't want the gagged child to answer his question, he just wanted the child to feel the fear more personally.

"Newspapers and magazines often refer to me as a demon. But isn't it strange? If I kill this person alone, it only takes a bomb to surpass me in an instant. ”

"Well, forget it. Let them say I'm a demon. I don't think humans can understand me, maybe the real demon can, so I'm going to try to summon the demon, of course, the demon needs human blood as a sacrifice, don't worry, your family is enough, you don't need yours, let's witness the miracle together! ”

The more Ryunosuke talked, the more excited he became, and he became closer to this child who was trembling with fear. He was usually a man of few words, but whenever he saw blood, especially around the dying, he became very talkative. Only the little boy was left unkilled, because the blood of the three people was enough to finish the magic array, and there was no other meaning. He was going to wait for the ritual to be completed before thinking of another interesting way to kill the child—

"But if the demon does appear, we don't have any preparation at all, and we just have a tea party with the demon, that would be a bit idiot, wouldn't it? So, boy...... If Mr. Demon does appear, do you want to be killed once? ”

“……！”

As for the anomaly in Ryunosuke's words, even a young child can fully understand the meaning. Looking at the appearance of the child in front of him who wanted to scream but couldn't scream, and could only open his eyes full of fear and couldn't escape, Ryunosuke grinned and couldn't stop laughing.

"What would it be like to be killed by a demon? Whether you will be eaten in one bite or torn to pieces, I think it will be a very valuable experience. It's definitely not a pointless thing - ah, it hurts'.! ”

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain. Pulled Ryunosuke back from fantasy to reality.

Right hand on the back of the hand. I didn't touch anything, but it hurt as if I was immersed in poison. Although the pain was fleeting, the afterglow of the pain still lingered on the surface of his skin, making the back of his hand tingle.

“…… This? What is this......"

On the back of his right hand, where the pain had not completely subsided, I don't know when a tattoo-like pattern was engraved.

“…… Ay? ”

After seeing this pattern, Ryunosuke Yubu not only did not feel nauseous and uneasy. On the contrary, I thought this pattern was very beautiful at first. Although I don't know what the meaning of the painting is, but the pattern of these three snakes entangled together. As a pattern tattoo, it looks really beautiful.

But. At the moment when he had just recovered from this intoxication, he suddenly felt a flow of air behind him, and Ryunosuke Yusheng turned back in even more surprise.

There was a wind blowing. In this completely enclosed room, there should be absolutely no air currents that will not blow. What started as a breeze quickly turned into a violent whirlwind that swept the entire living room into chaos. The magic circle drawn on the bed began to emit a faint phosphorescent light at some point, and Ryunosuke stared at it with a look of disbelief.

Once a curiosity about such an incredible thing as "death". In the process of gradually feeling tired of the continuous killing, I don't know when I lost the brilliance that it should have, and now it finally shines. This was followed by a thunderous roar. A blast of impact passed through Ryunosuke's body. It's like being burned by a high-voltage electric current.

If Tosaka Toshitomi is here, he knows that Ryunosuke Yusheng is only afraid that he once had a magician bloodline in his ancestors! A strange power that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Yusheng clan. When he was about to be forgotten by his descendants, with the blood flowing in the body of the Yusheng clan, the mysterious legacy called the "magic circuit" that had been sleeping in the body of Yusheng Ryunosuke has finally reawakened today.

Then, the "external power" that just entered Ryunosuke's body. After the newly opened magic loop in his body, it flowed out of his body again, and was then absorbed by the object summoned from the Otherworld.

-- It can be said that this is an exception within an exception.

Originally, according to the requirements of the Fuyuki Holy Grail itself, it was necessary to have seven Heroic Spirit Servants. It does not mean that a qualified person summons a servant and gets the qualification of the corresponding master. Instead, it is up to the Holy Grail to select seven qualified people to serve as masters.

And which Heroic Spirit can be summoned is also determined by the Holy Grail in the final analysis. The magicians worked so hard to perform the ritual in the hope that they could summon the servants they wanted more accurately. So no matter how clumsy the summoning array you use or how vague the incantation you utter, as long as you have the qualifications recognized by the Holy Grail, you can achieve miracles......

"-I ask you"

A strange sound came softly from the thick mist, and the wind stopped imperceptibly. The magic circle that had been glowing just now had dimmed, and the blood on the bed had turned black and dried up as if it had been burned. Then, in the thin mist, the man who had just spoken suddenly appeared in front of Ryunosuke.

A smooth, youthful-looking face, with large eyes and smooth cheeks that rotated flexibly, and a brown face that matched him, reminded Ryunosuke of Munch's paintings.

His costume is also peculiar. Dressed in a wide robe and adorned with a large amount of extravagant precious metal jewelry, the slender body is dressed like the "Dark Magician" that appeared in the comics.

"Plead me, call me, summoner who makes me appear in this world as a caster...... I'm here to ask your name. Who is there? ”

“……”

“……”

――――

After dinner, Sakura was a little tired from being burdened with his materialized mana, so she asked her to go back to her room and prepare for bed at the same time, so as to reduce her mana consumption. Because Nightfall became a Heroic Spirit, he became a Heroic Spirit while he was alive, so he couldn't reduce his mana consumption by being a spirit (the specific situation was similar to that of Saber, so he should have been), and he could only reduce Sakura's mana consumption by reducing his activity through sleep.

"Good night, Sakura-chan, have a good dream."

Nightshade knew that Sakura hadn't slept in bed for more than a year, and the thought of how many horrific and painful nights she had spent in the cold, damp wormhole made Nightshade feel distressed, and wished she could forget this nightmare sooner.

Nightshade helped her lie down and was about to leave, but was pulled by a small hand, Sakura looked at him and said, "Don't go, I, I'm afraid." ”

"Okay, I'll rest by your bedside."

"My mother used to sing lullabies to me."

"Okay, so what do you want to hear?"

"Little Star (don't complain to me why Japanese lullabys are also little stars, Eidolin, I really don't know what Japanese lullabys are, in short, if you are serious, you will lose!) It's right. ”

"Okay, I just happen to be able to sing."

When Nightshade finished singing, he found that Sakura's eyes were still open, and she was obviously very sleepy, but she refused to close her eyes, and Nightshade couldn't help but say, "What else do you want?" ”

"Well, my mother is sleeping with my sister in her arms."

“……”

I'm not your mother! But then again, you can sleep with Sakura in your arms...... Great!

Nightshade thought a little dirty in his heart, but he still showed a gentle smile on his face and said: "My body is hard, but not as soft as your mother, but if you ask, I can only comply, who made you my master." ”

Night Death lay down beside her, watching her look at herself with eyes that were not so empty, but instead showed a trace of a narrow application, moved her lips to Guo Huang, and Night Death leaned over her ear curiously and said, "What did you say?" ”

"You're a pedophile."

“……”。

Sakura finally fell asleep for a long time, and Nightshade looked at Sakura's quiet sleeping face, sighed softly, and then got up quietly.

Now that the Holy Grail War has begun, he can't be idle, if I'm not mistaken, tonight should be a play directed by Tosaka Tokitomi, and if he doesn't go to it, he's a little embarrassed.

――――

The notion that at three o'clock in the morning is silent is inappropriate for magicians and servants.

In the darkness of the night, the heroic spirits hiding in the shadows are constantly carrying out reconnaissance and assassination activities that cannot be taken lightly.

Especially for the magicians in this Fuyuki City, there are two main areas that need to be concerned. Those are the two luxurious and magnificent Western-style houses that stand on the hills of the city, the Maki family and the Tosaka family.

The city of the master who is aiming for the Holy Grail is located right there.,Recently, there have often been low-level angels roaming around there day and night for the purpose of reconnaissance.。 But. The owner of the pavilion had long been prepared for this level of reconnaissance, and had already erected more than ten or twenty enchantments around the foreign pavilion for the purpose of reconnaissance and defense. In the sense of magic, there is no difference between the two Western-style pavilions and the fortress.

Without the master's permission, even a magical human wouldn't want to step into the barrier. Not to mention the servants who seem to be huge magic crystals. Therefore, whether it is an entity or a spirit, you want to sneak into this fortress-like barrier without being noticed. It can't be done in any way.

However, there is an exception that makes this impossible possible. The exception to this is the fact that the Assassin has the ability to cut off the breath. Although he does not have great combat abilities, the Assassin is able to suppress his magic power to almost zero, allowing him to approach his target like an invisible shadow.

Furthermore, for Yan Feng Qili, tonight's infiltration mission is too simple. Because what he is infiltrating now is not the mansion of the nemesis of the Kirito family. Instead, until yesterday it was the residence of his master Qili's ally, the residence of Tokitomi Eisaka.

Of course, the assassin knew about Qili and Shi Chen secretly forming allies behind the backs of other masters. And in order to protect the secret agreement between the masters, the Assassin has served as a guard in Tosaka's mansion many times. So he'd been investigating the configuration and density of the enchantments here for a long time, and of course he was well aware of the blind spots.

The Assassin is a master at avoiding the intricacies of the enchantment in his spirit state. On the one hand, he secretly laughed at Tosaka Tosaka's ridiculous fate. The arrogant magician seemed to have a lot of trust in Qili, who was his subordinate, but he could never have imagined that the puppy he had raised for so many years would bite his hand in turn.

Qili gave the Assassin the order to kill Shi Chen, less than an hour ago. Although it is not certain what caused Qili to have murderous intent, I am afraid that it was caused by the summoning of Sevrant a few days ago. I heard that the servant who made a contract with Shichen seems to be, but through observation, this heroic spirit is even more fragile than Qili imagined. From this point of view, there is no benefit in continuing to cooperate with Shi Chen, maybe because of this, he will give such an order tonight.

"There's no need to be too cautious. Even if you have to go head-to-head with Archer, there's nothing to worry about. Be sure to kill Tosaka Tokitomi quickly. ”

That's what Master Qili instructs. Even the Assassin with the lowest combat ability "don't be afraid" when he confronts him - it can be seen that the heroic spirit of the Archer summoned by the Shichen must be very disappointing to Qili.

Thinking that the Assassin had come to the final barrier, there were no blind spots in the enchantment. If you want to get through this, you must physically destroy the barrier and eliminate it in order to move forward. This is a job that cannot be done in an invisible spirit state.

Hiding in the shadows of plants, the Assassin begins to transform from a spirit to a physical body, revealing a slender body with a skeletal mask. At this time, he came to a place that was different from the other enchantments in Tosaka, and a lot of "sight" shot from a distant place. These are probably the demons of the other masters who are watching the mansion outside of the barrier. But as long as they are not discovered by Shi Chen, these peeking guys can be ignored. As rivals who also aim for the Holy Grail, they have no reason to inform Tosaka that Tosaka's assassin has infiltrated the news.

For this kind of slaughter between competitors, everyone will take a bystander attitude and watch from the side.

The Assassin snickered as he reached out to the outermost barrier sealing point—

At the moment when his hand was extended, a gleaming spear flew like lightning directly above him, piercing the back of his hand and pinning his hand to the ground.

“……！？”

Intense pain, fear, and even more consternation. The Assassin, who was deeply surprised by the sudden blow of the dazzling spear, looked up with an incredible look on his face to look for the person who threw the gun.

No, there is no need to look for it at all.

On the roof of the Tosaka Mansion, an unusually magnificent golden-colored figure stood. It was a majesty that could even dim the stars and the moon in the sky, as bright as a god.

The Assassin had completely lost the anger of his wound and the pain of his wound, and all he had in his heart now was the fear of that overwhelming sense of majesty.

"Ants lying on the ground. Who allowed you to keep your head up? ”

The golden figure looked down at the Assassin lying on the ground with her red eyes that seemed to be burning, and questioned in a contemptuous tone.

"You don't see my qualifications. Ants have to be like ants, just lie on the ground and keep their heads down and die."

Then, around the golden figure, there were countless flashes of light. There are swords, spears, and countless kinds that appear in the air, but they are not duplicated with each other, and any of them are treasure-like weapons with splendid decorations. And the spearhead of all these weapons is directed at the Assassin.

Invincible - The Assassin didn't have to think about it, his instincts told him that the enemy in front of him was invincible.

Fighting a guy like that is stupid in itself, and there's no way I'm going to defeat him.

Judging from the fact that she was able to injure me as a servant, there should be nothing wrong with that golden figure as a servant! And he guards Tosaka's mansion - that is, he is a heroic spirit of the Archer rank?

Isn't that guy needless to be afraid?

The assassin who carefully recalled what the master had told him, finally realized that Qili's words were not wrong.

In the face of an enemy with such overwhelming power, there is no room for even so-called fear - yes, even to feel it -

All that can be felt is despair.

With the sound of the wind slicing through, countless sharp blades glowing with cold light flew towards the Assassin.

The Assassin could feel the sights. The gaze of the demons who were watching him from beyond the barrier. The other masters must have seen it too, the first loser in the Fourth Holy Grail War, the servant who was defeated without even making a move.

In the last moments of his life, the Assassin finally understood. His master speaks of the peak and ...... The true purpose of Tosaka Tokitomi as his ally. (To be continued.) )
