Chapter Seventy-Eight: Cannibalism
Looking at the white-haired ghost standing in the distance, the hearts of Refia and the others couldn't help but tremble.
The dazzling light, the colorful magic stones, and the lower body with the same yellow-green eyes, all of them interpret that the person in front of him is no longer human.
"How is this possible!"
Asfi cried out in horror.
Not only her, but even the members of the Hermes clan around her felt extremely panicked.
Is this enemy a man?
Or a humanoid monster?
The nausea that had accumulated in her stomach welled up her throat, and Refia asked with difficulty, "What are you?" ”
The white-haired ghost looked at everyone who was shocked below, and shouted loudly: "I am the power of both humans and monsters, and I am the supreme being!" ”
Looking at the white-haired ghost who was full of strange appearances compared to just now, Emiya Shirou instantly understood that he was stalling for time.
The heavy blow that Bert had given him just now would take a long time to recover, even if he recovered.
He's using language to buy himself this time.
But Emiya Shirou didn't immediately reveal his purpose, and the current white-haired ghost was a good fit to understand their purpose.
Emiya Shirou needs intelligence.
"What is here? What are you going to do here? ”
Hearing Emiya Shirou's inquiry, the white-haired ghost said rampantly, "This is the seedbed. ”
"By letting the giant man-eating flowers live here, and then giving birth to a steady stream of man-eating flowers."
"In other words, this is a transit point, where the deep monsters can breed and then transport them to the surface."
It turns out that the man-eating flower is a deep monster, but what makes Emiya Shirou more concerned is to use monsters to give birth to monsters.
Monsters are born from dungeons.
This is a truth that circulates among adventurers.
The dungeon is the mother of the monster, and you can't go wrong with that.
This is a truth that even the gods recognize.
But now, that truth has been shattered!
"And what is your purpose?"
"Destroy the Labyrinth City Olari!"
The white-haired ghost with his hands outstretched shouted out his purpose as if he wanted to embrace the world.
Not surprisingly, everyone present was shocked by this declaration.
Everyone gasped, and some even shivered.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
Looking at the proud, white-haired ghost, Lulune said in horror.
Olali is a huge city built directly above the dungeon, which is also the breakwater of the dungeon.
This ancient fortress and the Tower of Babel, which serves as a lid, have long blocked the large hole in the ground to prevent monsters from invading the surface.
Therefore, Eulari is not only a protective wall separating the outside world from the labyrinth, but also the last bastion of mankind.
The collapse of Olari represents the reappearance of the ancient era of war.
The never-ending war between humans and monsters, which has caused countless tragedies, will be staged again.
"Of course I do!"
In response to Lune's question, the white-haired ghost said loudly, "I want to destroy this city by my own will, and it's all for her!" ”
"Can't you hear me? She said he wanted to see the sky! ”
Pointing to the fetus in the jewel embedded in the quartz pillar, the white-haired ghost shouted affectionately.
Just as he was about to continue expressing his determination, Emiya Shirou directly interrupted him.
"Okay, that's it, I don't want to listen to the rest of the words, I guess it's all useless information."
Projected the twin swords, looking at the white-haired ghost with an uncomfortable expression after being interrupted from speaking, Emiya Shirou's eyes were full of killing intent.
"The information you want has been obtained, and it's time to send you back to the West! Wait any longer, and your injuries will heal! ”
"Hmph, it's long overdue!"
Because he had received information from Emiya Shirou in advance, Bert, who had also seen through the white-haired ghost's intentions, couldn't wait for a long time.
After all, he wanted to kill the other party with killing intent just now, but the other party survived.
Such a humiliating thing, he must be ending this guy!
Just as Emiya Shirou and Bert were about to start the battle again, two figures suddenly broke through the wall of flesh and came to the Great Hollow.
"Revith!"
"Ace!"
It was none other than Revith and Ace.
Sensing his companion, the two came to their companion's side one after another.
Looking at Ace, whose light armor was full of cracks, Emiya Shirou asked softly, "How is it?" ”
"No problem!"
Taking the elixir from Emiya Shirou's hand, Ace poured it directly into her mouth and began to regain her strength.
On the other side, Revis, who was significantly more seriously injured, fell to her knees on one knee, gasping for breath.
"Isn't it an opponent? Revith! ”
"Arya's ability value has been sublimated, and she has reached the level of LV.6!"
"Really? Then this is even more tricky! ”
He himself has already fallen into the disadvantage, and now the enemy has another LV.6 sword girl, and the situation in the field is dangerous to the naked eye!
The violent wheezing gradually subsided, and Revis's eyes were full of strangeness as she looked at the giant man-eating flower that was already missing one and the white-haired ghost's body that was healing quickly.
"Is it in danger?"
Placing her hand on the white-haired ghost's shoulder, Revis jumped backwards with the white-haired ghost, widening the distance between them and Emiya Shirou and the others.
Ace, who originally thought that the other party wanted to escape, was just about to pursue, when she saw the other party fall again and looked at them from afar.
"Are you retreating, Revis?"
"No, I still want to give it a go!"
“?”
Before he could react to Revis's words, the white-haired ghost felt a palm plunge into his chest.
"What are you?"
Looking at Revith with a look of surprise, the white-haired ghost never thought that she would actually attack her.
"Why?"
"For the power, of course, for the sake of defeating Arya!"
Staring at the white-haired ghost with those green emerald eyes, Revith said flatly: "Now I am not Arya's opponent, no matter how many magic stones I eat, I am not as strong as eating your magic stones. ”
"Poof!"
Pulling her arm out of the white-haired ghost's chest, looking at the blood-filled magic stone, Revia slowly put it into her mouth.
"Don't think!"
Recovering from the horror of cannibalism, Ace quickly rushed in the direction of Revith.
"Stop him, giant piranha!"
"Whoa, whoa!"
Facing Ace who was rushing towards Ace, the giant man-eating flower immediately swung its body, blocking the space between Ace and Revith.
"Don't hinder me!"
"Wake up!"
"Wind Spirit Hurry!"
The girl shrouded in the storm slashed her own stormy sword against the giant monster that stood in her way.
Then, the giant monster was slain in an instant, leaving no room for struggle.
This is the strength of the princess of the Loki family, the sword queen Ace Changrenstein.
Passing over the monster's corpse, Ace continued to rush forward, but it was too late.
After swallowing the white-haired ghost's magic stone, Revis, whose strength had increased greatly, also jumped from behind. The two fought a sword in mid-air before separating again.
Looking at Ace, who was wrapped in the wind, Revith clenched her fist, feeling the collision just now.
"Evenly matched? No, I'm weaker, but it's not that I can't fight! ”
"But before that!"
Paying attention to Emiya Shirou and the others behind Ace with her spare eyes, Revis's eyes were full of jealousy.
Especially Emiya Shirou, this person is extremely dangerous.
You need to hold them back and make room for a fight between herself and Arya.
I'm afraid the plan to transport the monsters to the surface has failed, so let's make the most of what they have to offer!
"Giant man-eating flowers!"
"Give me non-stop growth! Until you run out of strength and wither, squeeze out all your strength! ”
