Chapter Twenty-Four: The Heroic Spirit

The sudden disaster was passed like this, and even Illya knew that it was just the other party letting them go. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

That's right, the other party can match Saber and Archer with just one Heroic Spirit, and even have the upper hand, and the other party doesn't know why, but they can actually use [Treasure].

The other party is really thankful that he is willing to leave, and the aftermath of the battle just now has smashed the river embankment to a pulp, and the concrete pavement has also blasted out a large crater like a meteorite falling...... The situation created by this battle is just an outpost battle in which neither side has liberated their true names and used the Noble Phantasm.

According to Rin, it was just an easy little race - Illya still had a hazy feeling in her heart that she couldn't easily believe.

When Rin exhaled softly, Illya sat limply on the ground and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Although it is not visible on the surface, a storm has already blown in Illya's heart.

It was the first time in my life to stay out so late, and it was also the first time that my life was threatened so directly. Now I can still see such a bright night view of the city, and breathing the air, I really feel like I have a sense of the aftermath of the disaster.

When you relax a little, you immediately feel tired from your whole body.

At this moment, an arm patted Illya's slightly trembling shoulder hard and gently.

"Don't worry, Master, even if you risk your life, I will protect you." Saber reciprocated with a smile that was not hypocritical, and her dazzlingly handsome face shone brightly.

――The daughter of the former master, and the current master...... And unlike Kiritsugu Emiya, who is in conflict with herself, she is a pitiful girl who lives an ordinary life.

Because of this, it is impossible to ignore the danger of her throwing herself into this brutal Holy Grail War, Saber thought from the bottom of her heart.

“…… Many...... Thanks, it was all up to you, Sa-"

Illya was about to stand up when her eyes went blank.

“Master!?”

"Illya!"

Her body seemed to burn, and the heat of stimulation began to flow through Illya's veins, and most of her functions stopped, and her consciousness fell into darkness.

*********************************************

It is about 30 kilometers west from the busy streets of Fuyuki City.

There is an east-west national highway that crosses the mountains far from the village. The highway is lined with dense forests, and the forest area seems to have been forgotten by the surging land development boom.

The land may be state-owned, but it appears from the land register to be privately owned by a foreign-owned company, and it is uncertain whether the foreign-owned enterprise actually exists.

As a matter of fact...... On the eve of the Third Holy Grail War, the patriarch of the Einzbelen family, Yubstakuhayd, made full use of the family's financial resources to buy out the place closest to Fuyuki City, and built a huge castle and a base for the Einzberen family.

It was a big room, but it was dark and cold inside. On the bed in the center of the room, Miyu lay on all fours, her eyes still half-open.

There was only one door in front of her, and only a small window above her head, all sealed by a magic spell that had applied an enchantment.

She didn't even have the strength to raise her head, Meiyu's magic power and physical strength were very seriously consumed, and the magic circuit of her body was still heating hot, and her body temperature was about forty-one degrees at this time, and the body temperature beyond the normal temperature of the human body made her mind very trance.

This situation is not unfamiliar, it is the result of the magic developed by Darius, the Heroic Spirit.

Receiving the power of the Heroic Spirits from the Holy Grail and using the magic of the Holy Grail to bring it to life - though limited to only seven Heroic Spirits, Darius has a question.

Now that the Vessel of the Holy Grail is already in our hands, why can't we just use its power? Why is the number of manifestations of the Immortal only seven?

The Fuyuki Holy Grail has been held four times, and there are about twenty Heroic Spirits who have been summoned by the Holy Grail and absorbed by the Holy Grail.

With this as a starting point, Darius conceived the idea of recreating the power of those Heroic Spirits through the power of the Vessel of the Holy Grail, and using the power of the Heroic Spirits on people other than the seven Heroic Spirits.

In the last Holy Grail War, there were also cases where the Master kept his identity, but used his fiancée's magic to keep the Heroic Spirit alive. But the magic that Darius conceived was dozens of times more difficult than that, and it was unknown how much time and resources it would take to experiment to succeed, and it was only possible to achieve it within a few days of the coming of the Holy Grail.

Years of research were spent on magic that could be used in a few days at most, showing the Einzbelen's vast wealth and dedication to chasing the Holy Grail.

-- As far as the results are concerned, Darius succeeded, but the conditions for this magic to be achieved were also very strict.

What is necessary for the Servant to manifest itself is mana, and the strength of the Master's magic also determines the strength of the Master. In the same way, in order for humans to harness the power of the Heroic Spirit in the Holy Grail, just maintaining the form of the Heroic Spirit requires a huge amount of magic to fill their bodies - needless to say, ordinary humans cannot afford it.

But if it were Einzbelen, a family that was second to none in alchemy, it would be possible to create an artificial human that was good enough to withstand this kind of magic. It costs a lot of money and time, but these two things are too much for Einzbelen.

Having made the Humanoid Master and the Humanoid Holy Grail, they began a new job - and with great effort, they finally created two suitable androids before the Holy Grail War began, one of which was the silver-haired woman by Darius's side, Angelica.

The next thing is simple, as long as you conclude a contract with Miyu, and within the scope of Fuyuki, during the period after the start of the Holy Grail War,

――Of course, the pain and shortening of life span caused by this magic were not in their consideration. In fact, using this magic trick that almost breaks the rules of the Holy Grail, both Meiyu and the user will have to suffer the consequences of [Life Shortening].

Einzbelen's idea was to squeeze everything out of them until he died. And in order to prevent the same [betrayal] behavior last time, the guys in Einzberen also carefully tied various collars.

Artificial humans are all made by them and instilled knowledge. The only Heroic Spirit summoned was a Berserker job provider, causing him to lose his mind and obey. As for Meiyu...... When the Holy Grail comes is the moment of her death, where can she flee to?

PS: The principle of the Heroic Spirit's dependence is that FA's Sieg-kun and the magical girl Illya etc.~~~ Ziggy uses a spell, and the magical girl uses a card~~

The twelve episodes of FATE are over~ I think it's time for me to update too-
