After listening to Emiya Shirou's explanation, Merlin was silent for a moment before he said slowly: "Indeed, I can't refute your words at all." ”

"Of course you can't argue with it, after all, it's all true."

"At the same time, this is also the experience that Olalie's adventurers have summed up for thousands of years."

Emiya Shirou's words just now were naturally told to him by the seniors in the clan after joining the Loki clan.

For thousands of years, in how to exercise their bodies more efficiently, the major families have their own understanding and exploration.

These things have been continuously summarized by generations of people with blood and sweat.

"That's it!"

Merlin smiled knowingly, and fell silent.

In this way, the two stood in the corner and watched the battle in front of them.

This gorgeous drama in which Anna and Matthew team up to deal with Ishtar.

"Ahhh Sick of it! ”

Ishtar, who had dodged Anna's chains and floated low in the air, shouted irritably.

Although she is indeed suppressing the opposite side now, her mood is very unhappy.

Because she simply can't play to her full strength.

The reason for this situation is naturally Shirou Emiya, who is guarding the sidelines.

With Emiya Shirou's bow technique, which had already reached the foresight of the future, Ishtar could not return to the sky smoothly and exert his full strength.

You know, he's not one of those goddesses who is good at hand-to-hand combat.

What she is good at is the operation of magic power, that is, magic cannons.

But now, when she can't get away, her magic cannon is only a small pistol shot with her fingers.

With this power, you can't finish off the enemy at all!

"Ahhh It's annoying! ”

Ishtar grew more and more irritable.

On the other side, Merlin, who was standing beside Emiya Shirou, suddenly asked Emiya Shirou.

"Shirou, have you noticed that something is wrong with Ishtar?"

"Did you see that too?"

"Of course, I'm the owner of the highest-level clairvoyance, how can this kind of thing be hidden from me."

"Tsk, that's a good ability."

Listening to the exchange between Shirou Miyaya and Merlin, he found that there was no one around him halfway, and Rika Fujimaru, who hurriedly came over, asked suspiciously: "Is there anything wrong with Ishtar?" ”

"Looks like your eyesight needs to be improved! Lika. ”

Emiya Shirou looked at Rika Fujimaru, who was a little embarrassed, and explained to her, "Just now, Ishtar was suddenly stunned, this is an impossible mistake for the gods. ”

"And her state at that time was not like a stunned, but something like an empty shell."

"The state of the empty shell?"

"That's right."

Seeing this, Merlin on the side also continued: "In that case, it was as if her consciousness had disappeared from her shell. ”

"Consciousness is gone? How could it be! That's Ishtar! ”

Fujimaru Rika kept shaking her head, obviously unable to accept such a conjecture.

"How could it be!"

Emiya Shirou, who knew everything about the matter, retorted: "Don't forget, Ishtar appeared here in the form of a séance possession, so in the process of possession, there was nothing else to follow her to descend with her?" ”

"Which one do you mean? I see, no wonder the underworld still exists! ”

"What do you mean, Merlin, why do you still exist in the underworld!"

Before Ishtar's arrival, the three Fujimaru Rika had split up in the city to find traces of the Destiny Slab.

And in the process, Fujimaru Rika strayed into the underworld and was eventually rescued by a black-robed man named Zhu Sudra.

And when the other party sent her back, he left a message 'The underworld still exists'.

At this time, seeing Merlin mention that the underworld still exists, Fujimaru Rika herself was very eager to know what was going on.

And just when Merlin wanted to elaborate, a drastic change suddenly took place in the battlefield.

Ishtar, who was flying low, was caught by Anna's legs and slammed to the ground.

The violent impact directly smashed a large crater into the ground.

However, such a scene, although it looks scary, does not actually do much damage to Ishtar at all.

Anna and Matthew naturally knew about this kind of thing, so the two of them did not relax at all, but looked at the pit very vigilantly.

However, a minute passed, and there was not a single movement coming from the crater.

In the end, the two vigilantly leaned forward to check, only to find that Ishtar had actually passed out.

"Matthew!"

Seeing that the battle was over, Rika Fujimaru hurriedly ran over to visit Matthew, who was injured in the battle.

Emiya Shirou, on the other hand, took back his bow and arrows and chatted with Merlin.

"It's getting dark!"

"Indeed!"

"So I should be sure it's that one."

"That's right!"

"The mistress of the underworld, Ereshkigal? It always feels like things are getting harder! ”

No, it's just getting easier.

Emiya Shirou said in his heart.

Unlike Merlin, Emiya Shirou, who knew Ereshkigal, knew very well that the mistress of the underworld could easily be drawn into his camp.

That kid, it's super simple.

...

In a house in Saku City, Fujimaru Rika and the others were quietly looking at a certain god in the corner of the wall, bound by chains.

Waking up from his slumber, Ishtar, who wanted to move but couldn't, cried out loudly.

"Well, why am I bound in chains!"

Seeing that he was chained, Ishtar hurriedly broke free.

But, no matter how hard she tried, the chain was unscathed.

"Good evening! Goddess Ishtar, please don't struggle any more. ”

"This chain is the one that Zeus ordered Hephaestus to build in Greek mythology to bind the titan god Prometheus, and with your current state, no matter how much you struggle, it will be in vain."

"Is it actually a divine tool specially designed to bind the gods? Looks like I've really been caught! ”

Ishtar calmly looked at Emiya Shirou and said, "Is this your ability?" ”

Ishtar quickly saw through the essence of the chain, and knowing that it was a projection creation, she said with admiration: "What a genius! ”

"Thank you for the compliment."

Emiya Shirou replied with a smile.

"So, what are you going to do next? Are you going to kill me? ”

"No, we don't have that intention."

Listening to Ishtar's words, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

Although Ereshkigal was talking with Ishtar's body at this time, it was Ishtar's body after all.

Ereshkigale's body was still in the underworld at this time.

In other words, if Ishtar is killed, it will be Ishtar who will die.

And Ereshkigal was unscathed.

No wonder she is so calm, after all, it is not her who died.

How much you hate Ishtar, Ereshkigal!

Emiya Shirou asked with a smile in his heart.
