Chapter 19: Have You Heard of the Dead Apostles?
At night, the town of Misaki is as lively as ever. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
However, this bustle is only limited to the city, and although the lights and crowds in the night market are full of vitality, they still can't hide something else hidden under the darkness - on the outskirts of Misaki Town, there is an unknown chase between the mountains and forests, and the bloodsuckers called "Dead Apostles" by magicians are struggling through countless trees, in fact, he has been on the run for an unknown amount of time, and it is not a good thing to be targeted by the agents of the Templar Church.
"It seems that there is no longer a ...... chase"
This vampire was a pale-faced man, who had been a magician, and had turned himself into a Dead Apostle with a special technique in order to study something that could not be seen, and after realizing that there had been no more chasing sounds behind him for a long time, the man finally stopped running for his life, and stood on the soft ground among the trees, and looked back at the silent bushes behind him with trepidation—the corners of his forehead stopped with cold sweat for a long time, and the man finally let out a long sigh of relief, "Finally shake it off." ”
In fact, as Dead Apostles, the human body is actually dead in a certain sense, so although he has no lifespan limit, he must get what he needs from other creatures - in other words, he must suck blood, with the help of the genetic information in the blood of living creatures to repair his body, and it is precisely because of this that he was discovered by the sworn enemy of vampires like the Templar Church, after being chased by several powerful agents for a day and a night, He ran from one city to another, and then he got rid of them.
The long-term running has made the man feel dry - not only needs water, but also needs blood to moisturize, he incarnated as a Dead Apostle He doesn't know how many people he killed in the process of escaping, there are ordinary people, there are also magicians, the body of the Dead Apostle is extremely resilient, and it is not as easy to feel tired as the human body, even if it is injured in the eyes, it can recover quickly, however, these recoveries are not without cost, too much absorption of the body's energy will make his body more on the verge of collapse, now he, A mouthful of fresh blood had to be sucked right away, otherwise his body wouldn't be able to sustain it that long.
"Damn, where the hell is this......"
His right hand rummaged in his pocket, and a small gem was held in his hand, the suburbs of Misaki Town are not like the downtown area, there are no street lamps here, in the deep woods, only the dim moonlight can barely illuminate, after confirming that there is no substitute behind him, the man can finally rest assured that he can use gem magic to illuminate - before becoming a Dead Apostle, he was also a magician, gem magic is his specialty, as long as a little insignificant magic, this gem can be turned into something like a street lamp, "It seems to have gone to another city...... I don't know if any of the city's administrators will come to me for trouble......"
"Please stop!"
Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, as soon as he muttered in his mouth that he hoped not to meet the manager of the city, a coquettish voice immediately came from behind him, making the man's body stiffen involuntarily - although he heard the voice was a girl, but now his body is too consumed, and he has not replenished his blood, if the other party is a normal magician, he may also capsize in the gutter, however, when he turned to look at the girl behind him who made the sound, he was relieved again-
Because it was just a little girl with purple hair - how small? The man recalled a little in his memory, if his daughter was still alive, she would probably be so old, right?
As soon as he thought of this, the man was a little bitter, in order to resurrect his daughter, he turned himself into what he is now, but he still couldn't save her, and even completely lost his former identity because he became a dead apostle, but obviously, this little girl looks like a junior high school student, even if she has been learning magic since she was a child, it is difficult to match the average magician - he has no need to be afraid at all.
Even, this little girl can just be used to replenish his now dry body.
The decision has been made in his heart, a fierce light flashed in the man's eyes, and he stopped and stepped up again - this time it was not to run away, if he was going to run away in the face of a little girl, then he would really be too faceless, and the magic circuit in his body that was somewhat dry slowly ran up, and transported some of the recovered magic power to the gem that was radiating light in his hand, and in an instant, the center of the red gem emitted a scorching aura, and then under the wave of the man's right hand, The ruby seemed to turn into a flamethrower, spewing out a surging flame along the path of the man's right hand, and spewing out in front of him.
"Uh-huh......!"
The little girl who was faced by the man was the one who was looking at the magic performed by the other party, and I don't know why, the shadow of her former father Tosaka Tokitomi always appeared in her mind - after all, Tosaka Tokitomi used to be good at gem magic, but obviously, now is not the time to be distracted and think about that, the left and right hands were quickly raised, and the magic in the body squeezed out, forming a simple magic bullet between the hands of the Sakura of Kiri, and striking out against the menacing flames.
"Ridiculous, it's just a magic bullet......"
The man sneered, watching the magic bullet make a small gap in his fire magic, and then it was engulfed in flames, but soon, his smile stiffened, because in the flames, Sakura stood in the only place that was not swept by the flames - just now Sakura Makiri's magic bullet made a gap in the flames It was indeed impossible to block his magic, but it was just that gap, which just allowed Sakura to perfectly dodge the attack range of the flames.
- This little guy, although he is very weak in magic, is good at calculations.
The man groaned, and the magic power poured out again, if this little guy's calculation ability was very strong, then even if he used more magic attacks to pile up, it would be worth the loss if he caught the other party, so he immediately made a decision, the man's feet flashed with the light of the magic circuit, and with a strong step, the dead apostle physique, which was originally stronger than ordinary people, rushed to the front of Sakura almost instantly with the help of magic, and then ignored the flames burning around him, and the man's right hand grabbed Sakura's neck fiercely, With a firm grip, he pressed it against a nearby tree.
"Ahem——!!"
Sakura Ma's small body was pinched by her neck and slammed into the tree, the severe pain made her cough, and the man was a little unbearable, but now he couldn't be caught, so he could only be ruthless, his right hand continued to pinch Sakura's neck, and his left hand took out a dagger from his pocket - of course, magicians don't have to use daggers to kill, but killing people with this thing can maximize the freshness of blood, "Sorry little guy, you have to die here today......"
"Really?"
However, as soon as the words came out, the body of the mason Sakura, who was originally choked by her neck and her body was constantly shaking, suddenly calmed down, just when the man was surprised if it was to choke her unconscious, some cold voices suddenly came out of the mouth of the mason Sakura, making the man's expression suddenly change - although this voice can still vaguely hear the voice of the mason Sakura, but no matter how you listen to it, it is completely different from the previous shouts of the Kiriri Sakura, "But it's a pity, I don't think we can die here today." ”
- We?
I don't know why the little girl in front of me suddenly called herself this strange, but the next moment, a sharp pain accompanied by a terrible impact came from her heart violently, her pupils shrank, and the man watched in disbelief that the scene in front of him suddenly became smaller and smaller - the headwind around him was telling the man that he was knocked away by something at the moment, flew several meters away in the air, and fell to the ground fiercely, and the man struggled to look at his chest:
"It's ...... What the? ”
"It's called 'Gangenir.'"
The one who answered him was Kiriri Sakura...... Or the girl's voice, in the man's sight, the purple-haired little girl walked up to him, stepped on her stomach unceremoniously with her right foot, and then stretched out her petite right hand and grabbed the blood-red spear inserted in her chest, "It's a treasure, have you heard of it?" ”
"Treasure ...... ...... Noble Phantasm? ”
The man's voice was a little incredible, obviously, he also knew the existence of the Noble Phantasm - as a local Japanese magician, there are few people who have not heard of the existence of the Holy Grail War, the Noble Phantasm is the miracle of the servant called by the Holy Grail, this little girl just looked like she could only use magic to resist her own attack, how did she completely change her appearance after being pinched by herself.
"You seem to be a vampire, you've been staring at Sakura's neck just now - now I'm struggling with how Sakura's magic circuit will recover, maybe the vampire's body can be used as a reference."
The girl manipulated the body of the mason Sakura and stroked the smooth neck, her expression was cold, and with a force of her right hand, she pulled Gangnir out of the man's heart, looking at the man's cry of pain, she laughed, "It's not a bloodsucking species, the heart is pierced and not dead...... Then let me see if you can continue to think after losing your brain. ”
"You ......!!! guy"
The man watched in horror as the girl held Gungnir in her right hand and let out a painful scream, but alas, he could only see the tip of the spear getting closer and closer, and feel the last trace of pain coming from the center of his brow.
