Chapter Ninety-Eight: Return to the Cage
Seeing that everyone was gathered except for Matthew, who was trying to stop Lori, Li Ji made such a suggestion.
"Wait, even if you say that, why would such a powerful Heroic Spirit or Magician suddenly appear as an enemy? This kind of hierarchy is definitely one of the few in this world. Karene continued to question.
"I need to know the same." Bazett echoed in support.
Li Ji knew that he could use his ignorance to push the way, but in order to ensure trust, he had to reveal some more truths.
"They are the creators of rank cards, from a thousand-year-old magic family called Einzworth. They have a magic technique called Replacement - replace the Heroic Spirits on the Immortal Throne, make rank cards, and have a way to transform into Heroic Spirits and gain the corresponding abilities; Displace space, achieve the result of traveling through parallel worlds, and come to our world. β
"So... You have not heard of their names, they do not belong to this world at all. β
Li Ji simply explained, "Their purpose is very simpleβto pursue the Holy Grail, and in their world, they are called God's children. β
"The Holy Grail?" Hearing this, Karen called out, she had been sent to Fuyuki City by the Templar Church for one purpose to spy on the Einzbelen family and the Great Holy Grail of Fuyuki City, and she knew the relationship very well.
"It's not the Great Holy Grail of Fuyuki City, the Little Holy Grail, I believe Miss Karen knows very well that since the Fourth Holy Grail War ended abnormally ten years ago, all related techniques and activities have completely stopped."
"It's just a somewhat similar existence in the name.,The Holy Grail or the Divine Child is actually a Lori.,The name is Meiyou.,They plan to bring Meiyou back.γ
After listening to Li Ji's explanation, Bazet and Karen have a clear understanding of the motives of the mysterious appearance of the enemy's behavior, even if it is impossible to judge how much is real, at least according to what Li Ji said so far, there is no contradiction so far.
Seeing that the two of them no longer had any doubts, Li Ji continued: "Okay, in that case, let's consider the following tactics. β
"First of all, our enemies are extremely strong, to the point that it is incomprehensible, and even I can't understand why they are so strong, but it must be clear that we are facing at least three out-of-spec Heroic Spirits, or three Crowned Magicians."
"Darius, the head of the house, and Angelica and Bellis, members of the Doll Corps, respectively, and the tenth rank card Gilgamesh, which we tried to recover earlier, is now neutral and will not deliberately be our enemies after dispelling his evil thoughts."
"Darius's intelligence is unknown, he knows how to make rank cards, and he also holds unknown rank cards, from limited expansion to fantasy summoning, he has a complete replacement magic system, and his strength is quite strong."
"Angelica, the first in the Doll Corps, uses the Archer rank card, which happens to be the oldest hero king Gilgamesh, just from the specifications of the Heroic Spirit, it can be seen that it is not weak, the only disadvantage is that she happened to meet the genuine Gilgamesh, and she must be restrained by the hero king in the future."
"The second Beaterys, using the Berserker rank card, corresponds to the Immortal is unknown, or if it is the one, it is too incredible, because he should not appear in the Valhalla at all, and from the hands with her, everyone should see that she is more terrifying than Angelica."
"The above are our enemies, according to the future I see, they will not appear so early, so I did not deliberately take precautions, and now the reality is that the enemy appears in front of us, indicating that things have changed unpredictably, and we need to go all out to get through it."
As soon as Li Ji's words fell, an even more deafening sound came from outside.
"Aha, such a defense, such a defense, destroy me, destroy me!"
Beatoris shouted, the hammer she wielded in her hand slamming down on top of the barrier more and more often.
The earth shook, and even though the barrier was maintained by Matthew, trying to maintain its shape, the Mjolnir in Beaterys' hand, as a weapon with incredible power, had caused damage that surpassed the concept of damage from ordinary attacks, and could ignore defenses, allowing the interior of the barrier to continue to move in the direction of destruction.
Everyone changed color, and they didn't care about listening to Li Ji's explanation, and they turned their eyes outside, worried about their fate.
"Brother, do we have to be so passively defensive?" Illya asked.
Li Ji nodded: "In a short period of time, no one will help us, and besides, I'm not sure for what purpose people will choose to help us." β
"Could it be the monarch of the Magic Society? Or the burial apparatus of the Templar Church? Not to mention their motives, how long will it take to support us when they are so far away from us? β
"Unless it's close..."Li Ji considered, in Japan, I don't know if there is a crown puppeteer Aozaki Orange, and the blue magic makes Aosaki Aoko, if they are there, there is indeed a way to meet them, but they are not the protagonists of this "Magical Girl β Illya", theoretically they don't exist.
"Brother, if we master the multi-ensemble saturation artillery bombardment, there is probably a way to defeat them, right?"
Ilya said with some reproach.
"No, no, it has nothing to do with that, the enemy is too strong..."Li Ji comforted.
At this time, all the voices were quiet.
"Ah, Lord Darius, it's my fault that I didn't capture the target in front of you in advance."
Over there, Beatles shouted flatteringly, not at all fake, she really admired the head of the house.
"Stand down." Darius came to the junction, observed, and commented, "The magic position prepared in advance, and the servant?" Whether it's an enchantment or a shield, it's so beautiful that it's an art, and even I admire it a little. β
"But, Miyu, I know you're in there, let me tell you, since you hid in such a place, your chances are completely gone, and you'll all be wiped out."
Darius roared, "Well, please enjoy my performance, please don't cry, I'm just inviting you to be a guest, hahahaha!" β
Li Ji heard Darius's last words and saw that he was activating the technique, and he had a premonition that something was wrong, and it was too late for him to suddenly realize in his mind what he was going to do.
The cube of light enveloped the ruins of the Tosaka Mansion and the barrier they stood, like a cage that sealed them in, preventing them from leaving.
However, it is wrong to say that it is a cage, to be precise, this is a train to a parallel world, and through the concept of replacement, they will replace their foothold with another world to achieve the effect of crossing.
The cube of light emitted light, and they felt time and space freeze, and when they saw the outside world clearly, they suddenly realized that the bright sky above them no longer existed, and was replaced by a thick lead cloud, and snowflakes were still fluttering outside, giving people a very oppressive feeling.
Meiyou recognized it and shouted in fear: "How can it be here?" β
Li Ji said in a deep voice: "Meiyou, you are not mistaken, we have been sent back, back to your world, and into the sphere of influence of the Einzworth family, even if it is the possible support we are looking forward to, it is completely impossible." β
"How so!" Hearing such a result, everyone's hearts were shrouded in a haze.
