Chapter 4: Attack
A Servant of the Berserker rank, whose rank ability is "Frenzy". The "Berserker-level" ability will increase the inherent abilities of the Heroic Spirit with the Berserker rank, but at the same time, it will deprive him of his sanity, making him likely to run out of control at any time.
Berserker will be completely uncontrollable and will continue to plunder the Master's mana. In the previous Holy Grail Wars, there are many masters who died because they were drained of their magic by Berserker.
Wang Ji didn't want to be another master who died because of Berserker's rampage, so he had to stop Berserker's rampage. And there is only one way to stop Berserker, which is completely out of control......
"The Spell commands you, Berserker returns."
The spell on the back of Wang Ji's right hand suddenly disappeared in a third of the way. At the same time, on the Weiyuan River not far away, Berserker, who was manipulating the fighter plane to launch a fierce attack on Saber, disappeared in an instant, and the F15, which had lost control, immediately crashed into the Weiyuan River, splashing a huge splash.
Kiritsugu Emiya, who had witnessed Berserker's exit, sat on a lifeboat speeding towards safety, aimed at a point in the void and released a flare. The roaring phosphorus fire was directly above the line between Saber's current location and the ship that Kiritsugu had abandoned.
Webb saw the signal and immediately had Rider release the sea demons trapped in his inherent enchantment directly below the signal. Then, a fierce and clear beam of light rushed across the river.
All who witnessed this incomparable splendor could not utter anything.
It's just hope.
This light is glorious.
It is the lifelong pursuit and longing dream of all soldiers who have died on the battlefield throughout the ages.
The torrent that erupted from Saber's sword unleashed countless whirlpools, engulfing the sea demons and the night. In the evaporating seawater in an instant, every component of the demonic troll, which was the embodiment of terror, was exposed to the scorching impact, and the sea demon let out a terrible scream.
Wang Yu stared at the dazzling white light that gradually devoured the huge sea demon, and said to Berserker, who was already in a spirit state beside him, "Is this the glory you once followed?" It's dazzling. ”
Berserker was silent, unable to respond to the Master's words as he had lost his mind. And Wang Ji, who is familiar with Berserker's characteristics, did not expect to receive an answer.
He straightened his clothes and walked out of the alley.
###
Two minutes after Wang Wei left, Yan Feng Qili came to this alley.
"Who is it? Who killed him? ”
Yan Feng Qili originally came to verify Yan Ye's corpse out of the intention of making up for the teacher's carelessness. However, the situation at the scene was somewhat unexpected to him.
The experienced Qili judged at the first glance that the knife wound on his chest was the direct cause of his death.
Qili clearly remembered that in the battle just now, Teacher Shi Chen did not stab Yan Ye with a knife, nor did he use magic that could cause such a wound. This shows that someone came here before him and gave the end of the wild goose night.
So who is this person? Qili thought about the person who might have done this.
Before, all the Servants had fought bloodshed on the Mighty River, so it couldn't have been the Servants who did this. In Master, Saber and Rider's Master stayed on the riverbank and never came here. Teacher Shi Chen never came down from the roof. Lancer's Master can't even get up and walk now, and he can't come. Emiya Kiritsugu, who is most likely to do this, has always been on the side of Weiyuanchuan.
Who the hell is it?
Yan Feng Qili hurried back to the church with confusion in mind.
The person who killed the night of the wild goose must be a related person in the Holy Grail War. However, none of the parties involved in the war had the possibility of carrying out such an operation. Could it be that there are people other than the known participants involved?
This inference is undoubtedly a bit bizarre.
But cut out all the impossible, the only thing left is the truth, no matter how unbelievable he is.
If this is the case, then the news must be reported to the father and the teacher.
Yan Feng Qili continued to walk back with vague thoughts.
###
"Bang-"
Wang Ji, who was passing by the cemetery in front of the church, suddenly heard a gunshot from the direction of the church.
He hurriedly ran to the church. But when he reached the church, it was empty except for the priest who had fallen to the ground.
"Tsk, are you a step too late?"
After Wang Wei left Weiyuanchuan, he rushed directly to this church, which was the place where the Holy Grail War oversaw it. The reason why he came in such a hurry was because he remembered that Kenneth, one of the objectives of the mission, would come to church tonight. If you're lucky, you might be able to stop him before he's gone. Kenneth is now at his lowest point, his magic circuit has been destroyed, and the spell has been stripped of by his fiancée. In the face of Wang Ji, he will have no power to resist.
Although Wang Jian also knew the distance from the church to the church, when he arrived, Kenneth had already left. But this kind of thing, how can you know the final result without giving it a try.
Although Wang Wei has hurried and hurried, it is a pity that things have not developed according to his expectations. He was a step too late, and Kenneth had already left the church early.
"In that case, let's let Kenneth go first."
Although Kenneth was not stopped, Wang Jian was not disappointed, because the main goal of Wang Ji's visit to the church was not Kenneth, but ......
###
As soon as he stepped into the chapel, Yan Feng Qili felt a breath of death.
The faint smell of blood, and the remaining, even thinner smell of gunsmoke.
Although she didn't feel any danger, she cautiously walked in and walked through the worship seats—and when she reached the altar, she found a figure lying next to her.
"Father-"
The shouts that burst out of his mouth were weak and weak. As a well-trained and observant eye, he noticed the bullet hole in his back and a puddle of blood on the floor as he spotted Father Rimasa's figure.
Qi Li carefully examined her father's body in a state of complete mental numbness.
Roll up the sleeve of your right hand and check the number of spells that your father has managed. Unsurprisingly, one was missing. Rimasa gave one of the spells he was managing to someone, and was probably killed by that person. One of the masters who had made a contribution to the crusade against Caster was not satisfied with sharing the credit with the others who had fought together, which is why he committed such a crime. You don't have to guess what happened.
But even a magician can't take away all the spells he has from the dead old priest. The supervised custody of the mantra is protected by the Word. Without my permission, it is impossible to snatch it through magic. Father Rimasa, the only priest who knows the secret word, is dead, and the spell that has been preserved from the previous Holy Grail War is no longer effective.
――No, would Fr. Rimasa allow such a thing to happen?
Qili lifted her father's right hand and noticed unnatural blood stains on her fingertips. It seems to be a mark of abrasion. As he lay dying, Father Lizheng dipped his fingers in a pool of blood, and he must have left a clue somewhere.
Now that you understand this, it's easy to find the blood word.
On the floor, the last words written in red and black handwriting read: "jn424" - a code of unknown meaning that a non-Christian might think. But for Qili, who inherited Lizheng's pious beliefs, the meaning of this code is obvious.
The Holy Book 4:24. Qi Li recited word for word the sacred words that were preserved in his memory.
"God is the Holy Spirit. Therefore, we who worship the gods must bow down with our souls and the truth—"
As if echoing it, on the right wrist of Father Lizheng, who was already cold, all the spells together emitted a faint glow.
With a dull pain, the spells were transferred to Qili's hands one by one. Qili stared wordlessly at the light of the spell.
There is no doubt that it is the trust that the father has entrusted to his son.
Fr. Rimasa believes that the first person to discover his body must have been his son. That is why the code is written in blood that only those who are in the priesthood can understand. The important duties of these overseers were entrusted to the son, such as administering the Spell, guarding the Holy Grail, and guiding the Holy Grail War on the right path. He was convinced that his son was the one who could take on these responsibilities.
Qili's mood at this time was mixed, and tears rolled down her eyes uncontrollably.
Feeling the tears dripping from her cheeks, Qili was stunned and pressed her hand to her face.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the wall in front of Qili suddenly shattered. Then, a pitch-black shadow rushed towards Qili from the shattered wall.
It was a tall, broad-shouldered man, covered in black armor. No delicate decorations, no polished colors.
Darkness, hellish blackness. Even his face was covered by a helmet. Deep in the tiny cracks of the helmet. I could only see the glow of my eyes burning like fire.
Berserker!
Yan Feng Qili recognized the identity of the visitor at a glance. Although he was a little surprised why Yan Ye was dead, Berserker was still alive. But he was a battle-hardened man, and the moment he was sure he had been attacked, he responded.
He took out two black keys in one hand (Note 1) and threw them at Berserker without thinking.
(Note 1: The Black Key, a talisman used by the Templar Church to exorcise demons, is a symbolic item for the Substitute.) The hilt of the sword looks like two red cylinders arranged in a "T" shape, and its body is made of magic, which is very low in the refinement of a sword, but it can be used as a throwing weapon at that length. The vast majority of "demons" defined by the doers are spirits or phenomena. Therefore, the black key that drives away and destroys the "demon" is more focused on the interference power of the spirit than its physical attack power. )
