Chapter 6: The Maiden and the Tentacles

Train stations are usually divided into two parts, above ground and underground, and although Lux can't sense the people in the station, Emiya Shirou seems to know where the enemy is. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"They're all underground, protected by an enchantment built with the power of the Demon God, and they seem to be doing something that Alaya cares about." Emiya Shirou leads Lux and Artoria to the underground entrance, where the elevator stops running due to a power outage, and the entire underground is pitch black, like a giant mouth that swallows everything.

"Uncle Zhao, are they down here?" Lux looked at the entrance, and felt reluctant to go down.

"There's a huge magic reaction down there." Artoria and Emiya Shirou glanced at each other and took the first step to go underground, Emiya Shirou smiled helplessly, and followed, and Lux walked behind.

It's really dark underground, and even if Lux magically creates a torch-like light source, she can't see the walls on either side.

But she often comes here to take a car, and she vaguely remembers that the building in this underground part is not wide, and it is only less than ten meters wide and only a few hundred meters long.

"It seems that this demon god does have a plan, and he actually broke through the blockade of Alayya's subordinates, sent magic power here, and created this subspace." Emiya Shirou said, projecting a strangely shaped "sword" that looked like a dead branch.

"This is projection magic?" Although he was looking for people and could see the magic of creating weapons out of thin air, Lux couldn't help but ask.

"It's not magic, it's the skill of a heroic spirit that transcends magic." Emiya Shirou plunged his sword into the ground, and the pitch-black space around him unexpectedly produced fluctuations that were visible to the naked eye.

"I was able to qualify to become a Heroic Spirit, thanks to Saber, although this job doesn't pay and it's not my type of work." Emiya Shirou took a few steps back, and the sword actually began to disintegrate from the hilt.

At the same time, the surrounding space begins to shatter in Lux's eyes, revealing the real space behind her.

The originally neat walls looked like they had been eaten by monsters, leaving three passages three people in diameter.

"This is a problem." Emiya Shirou squatted down at the entrance of the passage, looking at the unknown white slime scattered around him, scratching his head, a little worried.

"Let's split up." Artoria said.

"It's necessary to split up, but it doesn't seem to be just the Fallen here, there seem to be other monsters, and I don't know if this blonde girl is capable of dealing with them." Emiya Shirou said, taking a serious look at Lux for the first time.

"It's ...... Traces of the roots? The more he looked at it, the more frightened he became, especially the purple streamer that flashed in Lux's eyes from time to time, which made Emiya Shirou have to face up to this girl with the same blonde hair as Artoria.

"Could she be the bastard of the Root, the Root Vortex that all magicians want to reach is directly connected to her?!" Emiya Shirou was amazed.

"I want to know too." Artoria is not a magician, so he only has some emotion, if Zheng Shiyu knows that Lux has the ability to connect to the vortex of the root, he will definitely arrest Lux at all costs and study it.

“???” Lux watched the conversation between the two and felt inexplicable, and could only stare at each other, and his gaze shifted between the two.

"Okay, I admit her strength, let's go our separate ways, if you encounter a danger that can't be solved, just escape." After Shirou Enomiya finished speaking, he turned around and walked into a passage.

Artoria nodded to Lux and said, "If you are in danger, summon me with the Command Charm, and I will reach you, don't be reckless." ”

"Yes, don't worry." Lux didn't care, and walked into the passage in front of her.

……

Dressed in full-body armor, holding a small ball of light in her left hand and a dagger in her right hand, Lux walked cautiously through the "passage".

Half an hour passed, but the passage did not reach the end of the road at all.

And, the deeper he went, the more white unidentified liquid there was on the ground, and the soles of his feet slipped.

Along with the liquid, there is also a fishy smell.

"Disgusting." Lux frowned and had to put the dagger back into the scabbard and cover her nose with her right hand.

She didn't know if there were any of the team members she was looking for at the end of the passage, but now it seemed that there was a more urgent situation to deal with, this passage was definitely beyond the confines of the train station, and those monsters probably used the entire underground of Heian City as their lair.

"I don't know if anyone in the convoy is in danger...... In case the monster takes advantage of me to leave the attack convoy...... Forget it, no one cares about anyone now. All Lux could do was pray.

Gradually, the passage became wider and wider, and the mucus under his feet could not reach the surface of Lux's feet, but fortunately, there were not many gaps in the shoes of the armor, so the slime did not seep into the shoes.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and Lux fell to the ground unsteadily, and the ball of light in her left hand went out.

In the darkness, Lux felt a large object approaching her, but the ground was slippery and she couldn't get up for a moment.

"Bang!"

An object slammed into Lux at high speed, knocking her flying, and a rope flew into Lux in mid-air, wrapping around her leg.

The shock felt like the world was spinning, and even though her armor absorbed most of the damage, she felt a tightness in her chest.

Then, the rope contracted violently, flicking Lux like the roof of the cave, and the armor that had been hit again finally couldn't hold on anymore and disappeared as magic.

However, Lux also took advantage of this respite to pull out the dagger at her waist and cut off the sticky thing wrapped around her leg, which, according to her judgment, should be something like a tentacle.

But as soon as this one was solved, there was a sharp sound of breaking the air around him, and there was more than one.

Fighting in the dark is not what Lux is good at, so the falling girl gathers the light attribute magic in her left hand, and the intense light illuminates the surrounding space.

Lux saw a fat, white bug filling the tunnel, but the tentacles were tentacles around its mouth.

At this time, several tentacles were trying to tie into Lux's body.

Krax's eyes had already seen the enemy, and the Eye of Death came into play again, and several death marks representing death appeared all over the body of the bug, and as long as these marks were cut, the cut part would be conceptually dead, and even with Wolverine's self-healing ability, it would not be able to grow back.

So the girl who was still falling waved the dagger in her hand at the several tentacles that attacked.

Brush a few knives, although it did not cut the roots, the tentacles were all broken from the roots.

"Disgusting bugs, trying to approach me with their tentacles! Sins are unforgivable! ”
