The last rays of the setting sun fade below the horizon, and night finally falls.

The smell of blood escaped with the cold night wind of winter far, far away, in the cold night, with the bewitching blood flowers blooming, one corpse after another, the residual heat of the body was quickly taken away by the cold of the cold night, completely lost its vitality.

Although the battlefield is no longer in Seaside Park, it is also near the mouth of the Weienchuan River, but on the other side of the Fuyugi Bridge, which was the port that Fuyuki City rebuilt after a gas explosion ten years ago blew up the entire Seaside Park and nearby buildings.

After all, as a coastal city, the port is naturally very important.

The new port is connected to a warehouse street with harbour facilities that cleverly separate the city from the industrial area. And once it's night, there are often no ordinary people here, only dim lights illuminating the streets, and unmanned cranes neatly lined up by the sea.

On the other hand, it is indeed a mysterious flank battlefield suitable for avoiding ordinary people.

Probably because both sides understood that once the existence of the Holy Grail entered the sight of more people, they and the others really had no hope at all, so the group of players who participated in the Big Stomach King Competition, including Guo Bit, very tacitly chose the nearest place as the battlefield.

It can be said that it is quite contradictory to be cautious and greedy at the same time.

However, the tragic fighting is finally coming to an end, and after street battles on the warehouse street, and a series of encirclement, counterattack, assassination, etc., only the last few people are left.

"Circit! Hand over the source of your mana, and we can spare your life! ”

Three men of short stature surrounded the two-meter-tall giant man in the center in a triangular shape in a large empty warehouse, threatening with fierce gods.

"Don't even think about it! Chamberlain! If you have the ability, you can come and get it yourself! ”

The giant man named Guo Bit laughed angrily, although the injuries on his body were terrible, half of his body was contaminated with blood, both his own and others', and he was covered in bruises and bruises, but he did not intend to compromise at all.

On the contrary, an astonishing momentum rose on his body, because of the continuous hard fighting, serious injuries, blood loss and other reasons, and the eyes that seemed dull and tired were also bright, I don't know if it was back to light or what.

The giant man knew that his result today was inevitable, and he also hated himself for letting the ghost lose his mind before, and he was not willing to give up the source of magic power, and he was not willing to squander the precious use opportunity so easily, and finally ended up in such a fate.

Although this is a very normal thing, after all, the vast majority of people, at least ordinary people with ideas and desires, are actually very easy to fall into such a trap-

Because as long as we understand that the so-called "realization of all wishes" must actually have an upper limit, and the Holy Grail cannot be omnipotent in the true sense, then we will inevitably come to a natural conclusion, that is, we must grasp that "degree" when dealing with the only opportunity to make a wish.

If such a precious opportunity is used to fulfill a low-level wish, like working hard to collect seven dragon balls, and finally making a wish to get a pair of girls' panties, it is an absolute waste;

But what if you make a wish that exceeds the upper limit, and the mechanism of action of the Holy Grail is activated because of the "act" of making a wish, but the process is interrupted because the upper limit is exceeded, and nothing is done in the end? After all, this kind of thing has not been inherited from previous experience, and no one dares to guarantee what the wishing mechanism of the Holy Grail will be.

Does it not respond to wishes that exceed the limit, or does it use that vast amount of magic to try to distort the world, even if it can't do it at all, or will it squander that precious amount of magic in the process?

Therefore, the best outcome is to get the line just right and strive for maximum benefits.

Guo Bit was also blinded by desire, irrationally wanted to take the Holy Grail out safely, and then find a place where no one could find it, and then slowly think about it.

As a result, although he had come to his senses at this moment, the mistake he made was fatal...... Even if he saw through it now and wanted to use the Holy Grail to make a wish to kill the three dwarves on the other side, at this time, it would be impossible for the other party to give him this time.

"Have you figured it out, this is not something that belongs to you, is it really worth losing your life for it?"

The man, who looked thin and short because of his rickety, frowned, sensing the burning battle intent on the giant man's body, and understood that something was wrong.

The other party seems to have made up his mind, even death will not make the three of them feel better, and may even have the intention of dragging one person on the road.

"If it is not mine, is it yours?" Guo Bit said angrily, "This is what I won openly, you shameless people, your subordinates are defeated, and you can't beat me in the game, so you can only use these indiscriminate means......"

“……”

“……”

I don't know why, the scene seemed to be very abrupt and silent for a moment.

"Don't talk about that kind of competition......" The short man named Chamberlain's face twitched a few times, and he felt the urge to cover his face, "Do you think this kind of thing is honorable?" ”

"Leave him alone, he's trying to stall for time!"

"Up! Kill him together! ”

The other two finally lost their patience, and at the same time they were alert, thinking that if they continued to stalemate like this, they would not know what would happen later, and after such a long time, the news was likely to have leaked out.

If they drag on any longer, they may become someone else's prey.

The giant man roared angrily and greeted his fate.

……

……

"We ...... Why are you here? Is your butler here? ”

Walking on the dim warehouse street, Letitia looked around with some trepidation, and she felt a burst of panic in her heart, and she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that there seemed to be a faint smell of blood in the air around her.

If it weren't for Joan of Arc's silence and warning, she probably couldn't help but doubt and think in the direction of some suspense and horror...... However, it is also because of the spiritual foundation in her body that she knows that she is with the saint, so this French female high school student can feel the bottom of her heart.

"No, I'm here because there's an emergency to deal with...... "Kurohime said calmly, his eyes wandering past the question about the butler.

She still can't figure out why Bradqing and Stulut haven't returned, and there is no information, as if something happened to her and the world has evaporated......

Even as His Royal Highness Ji Jun, who controls blood and contracts, and the de facto ruler of the Dead Apostles, Eltruki can be sure that her two followers are currently in good condition and are not in any real danger, but that some force has interfered with the contractual connection between them, so that she cannot accurately locate them.

But it also proves even more that something is definitely wrong with them.

"Emergencies need to be dealt with?" The blonde braided French high school girl was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the aristocratic girl who only looked like she was fourteen or fifteen years old, "Wait, are you going to come to this kind of place to deal with this matter yourself?" ”

"Any questions?" Elt Luki asked calmly.

"Of course there's a problem!" Letitia didn't know how to explain to this overly naïve little sister, so she could only grab the latter's little hand and want to forcibly take the other party away from this ghost place, "Let's get out of here first!" ”

"No, I understand your intentions, but ...... Maybe there's something I need you to know. ”

Kurohime gently broke free of the palm of the French female high school student, and understood that Retitia had good intentions, and she hesitated slightly, thinking that it would be better to let this human girl directly see the existence of the mysterious world.

"The truth about the dark side of this world, if you want to live, just follow me obediently, don't run around......"

It's not difficult to protect this girl, but it's very difficult to keep her by your side and accept your protection, but you don't know anything. Kurohime is not so arrogant that he doesn't take those possible opponents and old enemies into his eyes at all, thinking that they are all dirt chickens and dogs.

So it's impossible to keep it hidden, or just let this human girl see the truth, so that she understands the reality that after she came to this city, she was caught in some huge whirlpool of trouble.

This can also avoid some troubles, such as preventing the possibility of this French girl having a misunderstanding later, which was no problem, but insisted on creating the risk herself.

"Huh?"

Letitia was stunned, her brain not reacting at all.

Didn't you say that this girl didn't have any problems? Why would you suddenly say such a thing to yourself?

- Sure enough, it's an ordinary person.

Altruki said that she was completely expected of Letitia's reaction, but she didn't plan to explain it to the other party at this time, some things are better to see is believing, and her eyes crossed the entire dim street to a warehouse building.

"That's it, let's go over and see, follow me!"

"Huh? Oh oh......" Retitia's mind was confused, and she could only subconsciously respond, and followed Hei Ji in a daze.

The door of the warehouse was open, and it was dim inside, and with the help of the light that could be obliquely reflected by the street lamps outside, I could vaguely see the bloodstained ground, and there was a strong two-meter giant man sitting on the ground in a daze, looking down at his body, as if he couldn't believe it.

Not far from him, there was a bloody corpse, lying quietly on the ground, the pool of blood under his body had solidified, and he had completely lost his life.

With a long ponytail and a delicate face, the figure of the eldest lady stood quietly about three meters in front of the giant man, holding a magic dress like a whip in his hand, tilting his head slightly, as if he was contemplating something, and at the same time asked:

"You're saying you were killed once before, and then ...... Now resurrected? ”

"Yes, yes...... the giant nodded subconsciously, admitting this ridiculous fact, whether others believe it or not, at least for him, it is indeed the case.

"Although there is no sign of injury now, judging from the amount of bleeding and the location of the wound that existed before, this injury can indeed be fatal......" The cold eyes of the magician girl with an indifferent expression quickly glanced at Guo Bit's body, as if she had made a judgment by herself.

After all, the object of resurrection from the dead is the giant man himself, the position where the clothes on his body were cut, the blood stains on the splash, etc., but the traces left by these desperate battles have not been repaired as before, so the vicious-eyed magic guide marshal can easily judge that the facts are not much different from what the other party said.

Of course, it was not without other possibilities, Lorelei turned her eyes to look at the bloody corpse not far away:

"Why didn't he come back to life?"

"No, I don't know......" The giant man replied with some confidence, how did he know why the guy who dragged him on the road before he died didn't come back to life?

"Do you have any impressions of the process from death to resurrection?" Lorelei raised an eyebrow and changed the way she asked, "...... about the world after death, or what happens to your soul after death."

The giant man tried to recall for a moment, and replied uncertainly: "It seems that I didn't know how at the time, I came to a river, and someone was ferrying me there and sent me to the other side of the river......"

"What is the ferryman like?"

"No, I don't know, I didn't seem to be able to think at all, my consciousness was all muddy......"

"Think hard! You can think of as much as you want! Lorelei's cold tone had an irresistible majesty.

"Yes, yes...... Guo Bit's body trembled, he nodded again and again, racking his brains hard, thinking hard, "The person who is holding the boat seems to be a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, wearing a kimono of this country, with black hair, she ...... She...... That's right! She charged me 100,000 yen before she sent me across the river! ”

"I took 100,000 yen from you?"

"Yes, yes......"

Lorelei frowned, thought for a moment, and then said, "You go on." ”

And then...... Then on the other side, there was a road that I had no impression of Joan of Arc, and at last I came to a strange space, where there was nothing around but darkness, and a vague figure of a black god who filled the whole space, as if it were as tall as heaven and earth......"

"And then?" Marshal Magic's eyes flickered slightly.

And then, and then...... That figure made me put my heart on him...... put it on his scales, and then put a white feather on the other side......" Golpitt tried very hard to force himself to recall, "and then I didn't know anything, and as soon as I opened my eyes, I returned to my body......"

"The scales of judgment in Anubis?" The magic marshal girl frowned.

Almost instantly, she understood what that heart-weighing ritual was, from Egyptian mythology, the judgment of Anubis, who weighed the human heart with its feathers.

At one end of the scales is the heart of the deceased, and at the other end is the feather of truth, and if the heart of the deceased is as light as a feather, or lighter than a feather, then the person can ascend to heaven and receive eternal life. If the heart is heavier than a feather, it will be sent to hell.

It is more in line with the current situation, and the innocent can receive "eternal life" in disguise, or they can be resurrected even after death...... So if the guilty person dies, he probably really dies?

Although I don't know what the standard of judgment is, whether it is based on the laws of the city or the people's perceptions, whether it is only the behavior of the person being judged in the city, or whether it is based on the past experience of the person being judged to judge the camp.

But as long as the fundamental nature is understood, these detailed rules can be slowly tested and confirmed later.

However, Lorelei was still suspicious, because the black-haired kimono girl who the giant man said at the beginning to collect money had nothing to do with the elements of Egyptian mythology...... Is it the mastermind behind the different myths and rituals that put together the different rituals, or is he lying and hiding part of the truth?

Just when the Demon Marshal was suspicious, Guo Bit seemed to think of something, and hurriedly took out his wallet to look at it, and suddenly exclaimed: "My money is really less than 100,000 yen!" ”

“……”

“……”

It doesn't seem to be a fake, otherwise this reckless man's acting skills are too good. Lorelei's expression was a little weird, and she subconsciously looked at the bloody corpse on the other side-

In the end, that person was convicted of a crime, and when he died, he was completely dead......

Or because of the lack of money, even the river could not be crossed, and although the soul was not sent to hell, it was not able to return to the body...... The resurrection process is stuck?

If it's the former, then everything is easy to say. But if it's the latter, then the mastermind behind it is really a devil!

The magic marshal girl exhaled softly, then turned around abruptly and waved the magic dress in her hand like a whip! The magic unleashed hurricanes and shockwaves, and in the waves that swept around, it was like a lightning strike like lightning and fire, like an invisible whip swinging in the void, blowing the air to pieces!

The dome of the entire warehouse was blown off, and the surrounding walls were also blown to pieces, and explosions rushed out of the main entrance of the warehouse one after another, spreading out hundreds of meters in an instant on the long street outside!

With just a whip in her hand, she can unleash the terrifying power of the liberation of the treasure, which shows why she is called the pinnacle of modern magicians, and this is a mysterious world leader who can really wrestle with the ancestor of the Dead Apostles.

The eyes of the giant man behind him were about to pop out.

"Doesn't look like any ordinary vampire......"

Muttering to herself, Lorelei knew that her attack was pointless.

And after the smoke and dust outside, a petite figure appeared at the main entrance of the warehouse that had become a ruin, calmly and calmly confronting the magic marshal.

Behind him, a French high school girl with braided blonde hair shivered.

……

……

At the same time that the fantasy carnival in Fuyuki City is in full swing, it is in another time and space.

The scarlet sky, the blood-colored clouds rolled, like a sea of blood surging above the sky.

The earth beneath the blood-colored sky was scorching, and in many places there was a snaking flow of hot red, which was the crimson magma that erupted under pressure along the cracks in the earth's crust, making the air full of pungent sulfur.

Countless hideous demons fought on the barren land, and there were no known number of them, like dense ant colonies.

In a corner where no one noticed, a young monk who did not fit in with the style of the bloody demon army around him appeared, he was wearing a black robe, his eyes were indifferent, his temperament was pure, and he looked around calmly as soon as he appeared.

"Well, it's not very suitable, if the fragments are placed in this world, it will simply help him speed up his recovery......"

The young monk muttered to himself: "Let's keep looking, anyway, the number of sand in the Ganges River in the Heavenly World, there will always be some suitable place for the ......."

At this time, a six-armed snake demon held a different weapon and pounced fiercely, it had already noticed this uninvited guest who suddenly appeared on the battlefield. Although I don't know why the human beings from the physical plane suddenly appeared here, it's just that it has already killed its red eyes and can't care about anything.

So if you don't even think about it, you just have to step forward and tear this weak human to pieces!

"Oh, yes...... I am a Buddha with compassion and purity for all sentient beings. ”

The young monk, who had just turned around and was about to leave, seemed to remember something at this time, turned around again, clasped his hands together and whispered, and then directly reached out a hand.

Boom! Thousands of miles of heaven shattered, vacuum trembling!

A huge boundless palm descended from the sky, covering the sky and the sun, directly breaking through the boundless clouds like a sea of blood, casting a shadow that covered everything, and directly crushed towards the earth!

Each finger seems to be a vast and boundless, the white jade pillar of the sky standing on the ground, as vast as the gods, surrounded by golden light, in the palm of the hand is better like a Buddha Pure Land, in the void out of the chanting, making the void rumble, as if the world has been shaken.

Without giving anyone time to react, almost the entire battlefield was shattered with a single palm, the earth plate disappeared, and a huge bottomless pit appeared!

As for the demon army that was still fighting frantically in front of him for a moment, it was wiped out by the coefficient before it could react, and it was completely crushed into powder!

The young monk who leaned out of the Buddha country in his palm and directly smashed thousands of miles of red blood plains, like a compassionate Buddha at this moment, clasped his palms again: "Today I have surpassed the bliss of many living beings, and I am really a ...... of merit."

Without saying anything more, he turned around and disappeared into the void.

Only the six-armed snake demon trembling in place remained, and some beings of outer space who stared at him in horror in the void.

(PS: Regardless of the development...... When I go back to my hometown the day after tomorrow, I should have a pigeon for a day, and then there is something that may require me to be busy at home for most of the year, so I'll see how to adjust it...... The bad state these days is also because of this, forgive me)
