Chapter 44—The Light That Shines on the World (1)
Tonight, Fuyuki City is not destined to be peaceful
A strange thick fog appeared over the Weiyuan River, making the view to the west of the central building extremely poor. With human eyesight, you can only faintly see the illuminated Fuyugi Bridge. No one would have imagined that this bustling area would soon become a living purgatory.
The fluctuation of the spell released near the Unanjiang River is equivalent to the multiple chanting of ceremonial spells, and it is the kind that can only be activated by using the magic power of dozens of people. The burst of anomalous magical aura made all the masters in Fuyuki City perceive that this is not in accordance with the rules. Because the mystery of magic is destined to be impossible for ordinary people to peep into, such a blatant large-scale magic trick that threatens the behavior of ordinary people will be unanimously criticized.
A smart person would never do that, but what if it's a madman?
"It's Caster! Seems to be standing in the middle of the river and intending to do something, but I can't see the specifics. ”
Standing on the roof of the Fuyuki Center Building, which is under construction, standing on the top of the building with the best view, Lancer was able to see through the fog with his extraordinary vision. The fact that the enemy was Caster was not unexpected, in fact, his own side guessed that everything was done by Caster, after all, the somewhat crazy servant was too impressive. Immediately after confirming this, Lancer reported the situation to his new master, Sola Nazele Sofias.
Yes, the new master!
As her fiancé, Kenes was attacked by Emiya Kiritsugu's origin bomb, and all the magic circuits in her body have been destroyed, and she can't use magic anymore. But instead of being heartbroken, Sola felt a sense of joy because it was a great opportunity.
As the daughter of the Sofiari family, who served as the head of the Clock Tower's séance, Sora did not inherit the magic mark because she was not a concubine. The value of the girl's existence only stems from the refined blood of the demon called Sophia Li in her body. In other words, when she first arrived in the world, she was destined to be used to enter into political marriages for the benefit of the family.
She has no grievances, no doubts, because she has no right to choose in her career. So she could only obey the marriage arranged for her by her parents, and the girl's cold heart never had any emotion about the fact that she wanted to call the man her husband.
I thought that this life would be completed step by step on the designated road, but the Holy Grail War quietly changed everything.
It was a bubble-like miracle brought about by the Holy Grail, and it was a beautiful man who did not belong in this world. The sprout of love is quietly germinating, and I have long forgotten when it began, but when I realized it, I realized that I had fallen deeply.
Unexpected love is not the effect of the enchanting tear mole on his forehead, he is the daughter of the famous magic family Sophia Li, even if he does not inherit the magic mark, he still has a strong resistance to this level of charm spells. Unless you deliberately don't resist.
In order to show her love, Sola always defends the lancer, even going so far as to go toe-to-toe with Kenis. But even if she is as smart as she is in the field of feelings, she ignores the jealousy of men, and underestimates Kenes's love for her.
As a result, Kenes lashes harsher at Lancer, while the Lancer remains as loyal as ever, ignoring Sora's secret gestures of love. The girl who fell in love was distressed but helpless, but she didn't expect Kenes's injury to really give her a chance.
did not hesitate, even to threaten his fiancé. Eventually, Sora got her wish and obtained the Command Curse as a Master Certificate. Later, he won the allegiance of the spearmen for the deceptive reason of "offering the Holy Grail to her husband".
Looking at the spell engraved on the back of his hand and taking it from his fiancé, Kenes Achipolud, one was missing due to the man's stupidity. But it didn't matter, as Sola remembered that there was a bounty for conquering the Church of Caster, which meant that if you defeated the Caster, you would receive an additional spell from the Overseer as a reward. At that time, the spell will return to its full form again. The thought of the spell's original three-in-one form, the bond with the Heroic Spirit Dilumudo, was about to be restored intact, and Sora couldn't contain the excitement in her heart.
"Let's fight, Lancer!"
In order to fulfill her heart's desire as soon as possible, Sora gave the Lancer the order to fight.
"I see, I'll fight, but Lord Sora, please stay here and enjoy the feats I've made. ”
"Why, I'm the master now, too. Cover on the side. ”
Lancer shook his head resolutely at Sora's almost pleading expression, which was not owned by the Master.
"That's not going to work. With all due respect, you don't have the abilities of Lord Kenas. It's dangerous to go to that riverbank. It was very difficult for me to fight while protecting you who could not defend yourself. Thank you for your understanding. ”
"But ......"
Despite what he said, for Sora now, even if Lancer left her for a second, she would be heartbroken with worry.
"Do you think Sora-sama is suspicious of my skills, and think it's too childish for me to fight without permission?"
Lancer asked, narrowing his eyes. Sora quickly shook her head, not to mention that she remembered the humiliation that Kenes had given to Lancer, and for Lancer, who still swore allegiance to Kenays, it was necessary for him to understand that he was the one who was truly worthy of allegiance.
"Lancer, it's up to you to make the judgment on the spot. Fight to your heart's content. ”
"Understood. ”
Lancer lowered his head quietly, then kicked the steel bars under his feet and jumped into the brightly lit street.
Looking at the back of the servant who was jumping on the roofs of the houses and galloping all the way to the river, Sora sighed with a heartbroken sigh. The Heroic Spirit hadn't smiled at Sora once since he became Master in place of Kenais.
.............................................................................
Passing through the narrow pavement of the old streets of the deep mountain village, the silver-white body of the car sped through the slender curves, and its speed had broken through the constraints of the laws of physics. As we galloped onto the riverside boulevard, there was a nice sharp left turn and Mercedes stopped under the embankment of the river.
"If you're really in bad health, don't force it, Ellie!"
Artoria was really troubled by Altoria's childly behavior of insisting on coming to watch the game. Even though he had been advised, politely refused, and even strongly requested, he was completely defeated by Alice Phil with a smile and a sentence of "I want to see Saber win". In desperation, Artoria had to drive the other party forward, otherwise she would have already arrived at the scene with her speed.
"Come on, Saber!"
Altheria's dissatisfaction with Altoria turned a blind eye, and instead happily cheered for Artoria, as if it was a game and not a life-and-death battle. This is self-confidence, a strong confidence in the knight who has always protected him.
"Stay tuned, Ellie. ”
The dissatisfaction was long gone, and Artoria's face was filled with a desire to fight. Looking out over the fog, Artoria smiled a warlike smile. The dense fog that rushed towards the embankment, enough to make ordinary people lose their vision, had no effect on Artoria, who had extremely long vision and perception.
The enemy did not surprise herself, and Artoria even felt that when the magic riot broke out this time, I am afraid that all the masters would be able to determine who caused the incident. Caster is a madman, no one but him can be so crazy.
I saw that the source of the incident was Caster, who was still not accompanied by the master, and stood in the middle of the river without an island, as if he was standing on the surface of the water. If you look closely, you will find that the water under his feet has gathered a large number of terrifying alien shadows. Not long ago, the hordes of monsters that had fought in Senli now gathered at the foot of the caster to form a shallow.
Judging by the extremely unusual release of mana, there is no doubt that the caster is performing some kind of large-scale magic. The dense fog formed by the river as its source is probably caused by the aftermath of this magical power. Not only did Caster not chant, he didn't even show any signs of concentration, he just stood there nonchalantly—from the magic book in his hand, a frenzied vortex of magic poured out continuously, and the space around him became distorted as a result.
As an unconventional magic furnace, it is also a treasure that can unleash magic on its own...... If it falls into the hands of a madman, it becomes an extremely dangerous murder weapon.
This is a challenge to all servants. Even Artoria would not dare to try this kind of arrogant approach, after all, the servants of this war are all heroes and kings who will go down in history, and none of them are in vain.
"It is a great honour to see you again, Your Highness!"
Caster bowed as she had seen before, but Artoria was disgusted by the evil smile on his face.
"Joan of Arc, though the guest of honor at tonight's banquet is not you. But if you're willing to take the table, I'll be very happy. Gilles de Raybutt, a feast of death and depravity, please enjoy it!"
Caster laughed out loud. Beneath his feet, the dark waters began to stir. The countless monsters gathered at the summoner's feet shot out countless tentacles in unison, engulfing the caster who stood on their heads in cloaks. At first glance, it seems that the rebellious demons are attacking the caster, but the caster, who is covered in tentacles, raises his voice and laughs wildly. The arrogant laughter bordered on screaming.
"Perhaps, as the King of Knights, I should wait until you have everything in place before attacking, but I can't stand your ugly appearance anymore. Rejoice, you're the first being I can't wait to kill. ”
Artoria says that chivalry is just a weapon for the king's ruling mind, and that stupidly waiting for the enemy to make a big move is not in line with his own philosophy of warfare. So, the holy sword standing on the top of the planet shines with its own brilliance here!
