Chapter 244: The Heroic Spirits Descending One After Another
Rin Tosaka spilled the last bit of gem powder on his hand.
She was in the basement of the rented mansion, looking at the magnificent circle in front of her, and clapped her hands in satisfaction.
"It's done, the spiritual veins are gradually becoming active, and it's really not wrong to spend a lot of money to charter this villa."
Although she is often ridiculed by Roland for becoming unreliable at a critical moment, Rin Tosaka firmly believes that it is just an accidental situation caused by the lack of knowledge of the world and bad luck when she was young, and she can make up for these shortcomings with a little more preparation, with all the power that can be held by her, and the amazing wisdom honed in the brutal war with Ishtar.
"In this Holy Grail War, because the news was announced relatively suddenly, I should be the only one who has real experience, so without further ado, let's start summoning immediately." β
According to the orthodox ritual, the time and order of the summoning of the Holy Grail War are within a certain limit, and if it is summoned in advance, it will create an unnecessary burden on the Master, which seems very unwise for Rin Tosaka, who has gambled everything in this war.
But this is also relative, if she can find the right time point that she can bear, it means that she will definitely be able to help her servant get the rank she wants.
There can be nothing wrong with this choice...... If that great hero really came down like last time, it would only be me who won!
Rin Tosaka breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully took out his holy relic, although he had seen it many times, but seeing that lying in the carefully woven silk brocade, it still made people feel majestic and dazzling, like a handicraft-like scabbard, the girl still sighed a little.
Although for this holy relic, she mortgaged all the real estate of the Tosaka family to Roland, and even gave up the management rights, and the price paid was not too much, but in the past ten years of getting along, because of the decline of the family business, let alone repaying the money, even the balance of magic practice can only be said to be barely maintained.
The spiritual land in Fuyuki City was originally managed by Qili and Medea assisting her, and after she went to study in the Clock Tower, it would be handed over to them, so it would be no different anyway.
This is the so-called debt is not worried, but if I lose this time, I am afraid that I will not even have the money for a ticket to London, and I can only go to him for help......
Noβyou can't think about that kind of thing right now!
Rin Tosaka patted her cheek until she regained her inner composure.
Although judging from the karma formed last time, she could have summoned Ishtar completely, although she had a lot of complaints about the character of the Venus goddess Rin Tosaka, but her strength was undoubted, if it weren't for her, she would never have survived so leisurely in the last Holy Grail War to the end.
But Rin Tosaka, who has been close to Ishtar throughout the Holy Grail War, knows that the other party may be the best choice for him, but it is by no means the best.
If you want to win, you have to be a little more aggressive.
Ishtar is of course very good, whether it is a treasure or an ordinary output, it is an indisputable fact that the other party fights very expensively, not to mention, she has no means to reverse the crisis that she cannot resist.
Although I don't want to speculate on the origin of this Holy Grail War with malice, the entire system has been restructured in just ten years, and the style is still very different from before, and all this seems too suspicious for Rin Tosaka, who knows the inside story.
It's just that the location has changed to Tokyo, where there are many fish and dragons, and even the shape of the spell has changed greatly, and most importantly, in the division of the Holy Grail, she is the fifth-rank power angel.
Rin Tosaka knows very well how good her qualifications are, and her ability to always maintain that elegant and confident posture largely comes from this confidence.
Even if he was born in the already broken Tosaka family, he relied on self-study to understand the devil most of the time, and Rin Tosaka did not think that his future achievements would be inferior to the monarch of the clock tower, and this pride had long been deeply engraved in the girl's heart.
Therefore, when she found that her strength was considered by the Holy Grail to be the last of the Lords this time, it was not difficult to imagine how incredible her heart was.
If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't humans who gave this strange judgment, but the Holy Grail system as a miracle itself, Rin Tosaka would have wondered if it was an oolong.
She is only the fifth, what kind of existence is the Blazing Sky Envoy of the first order? Is it a legendary magician, or the same monster as last time?
To this end, she must also have a heroic spirit who can turn the tide, and in the girl's cognition, there is no better choice than King Arthur.
Strong, loyal, and gentle, as long as he signs a contract, he will always be on the side of the master, not only does he not have to worry about the possibility of being stabbed in the back by him, but in case the situation of this Holy Grail War gets out of control, he also has the Holy Sword that can cut off all evil and make a final blow as a backing.
Then, without hesitation, the girl raised her hand and made a proclamation in a crisp voice, reciting a curse that seemed to be a curse on all things, and a blessing to herself.
The magic evoked by the spell turned into a violent wind, constantly surging in the room, constantly stirring in the magic circuit, and the flowing magic inevitably made Rin Tosaka's emotions swell.
The gem powder that stored the magic power ignited a dark blue flame, and the speed at which the magic energy in Rin's body flowed abruptly accelerated, at this rate, I am afraid that she will be drained before the ritual is completed.
There is no record of this situation in the Tosaka family's classics, how can this be? Like last time, did the cause and effect of the catalyst disturb anything?
The chills and pain in her body made Rin Tosaka's uncontrollable thoughts come to mind, but soon, the girl regained her composure.
Impossible, using this scabbard as a catalyst, even if you want to summon an existence other than King Arthur, it is a fantasy, it must be because of the impact of early summoning.
Although there are occasional off-lines in her personality, unlike Tosaka Tokito, Rin Tosaka's elegance and calmness are innate, and the more she encounters difficulties, the more dazzling the light will shine.
Rin Tosaka, who had already made a plan, quickly grasped the gem on his chest, turning the magic accumulated in the past ten years into a solid backing, stubbornly resisting the pressure from the magic circle.
Gradually, Rin Tosaka was moved to tears as tiny lightning flashed in place of the silent wind, and a misty white mist lingered in the air as it collided in the air.
"It worked!"
The figure that appeared in the white mist exuded an overwhelming presence like a storm, like a glow.
You only need to see each other to understand that it is a noble existence above fantasy.
- No, I'll have to make sure again.
Rin Tosaka held back her excitement and took a deep breath.
"Saber, your real name, is it Arthur Pendragon!"
"Admittedly," came a clear and chilling voice from the white mist that began to dissipate, "I may ask, are you my Master?" β
Win!
Although she felt that her voice seemed to be a little soft, a little distorted compared to the sunny and cheerful timbre in her memory, but since the servants had admitted it herself, she naturally no longer had any doubts.
This time the chain drop has been solved by my own plan, and there is nothing to be afraid of!
"Yes, I am your Master, Saber! This Holy Grail War must be our ...... victory."
Rin Tosaka clenched her fists, resisting the urge to cheer and trying to maintain her image as a reliable master.
But looking at the heroic girl who was petite from the white mist, staring at her with emerald eyes against the backdrop of the pale knight's costume, she didn't even finish speaking, and the expression on her face froze first.
ββ
Ayaka looked at the dozens of sticky white pigeons gathered at her feet, and squatted down obediently, staying in the corner with the pigeons, as if she wanted to save a little space for the girl in the center of the garden.
"Ayaka, don't be so far away," Sastripe Aige blinked her aqua blue eyes and said with a half-smile, "It's just a Holy Grail War, and it's a matter of the same degree as the cooking practice in the morning, so there's no need to care so much." β
The sound of the Sandstrip Love Song is crisp and hearty, like a flower that never withers and never cleans the dust.
That innocent and innocent expression made Ayaka Sae clearly see her sister's sincerity.
The so-called Holy Grail War is the same thing as cooking in the eyes of Sajo Aige, and Ayaka longs for her sister's confident attitude, but she is still very self-aware, and shakes her head firmly, refusing Sajo Aige's invitation.
It's a very simple thing for my sister, and I may not be able to do it in my life.
Seeing Ayaka's movements, Satiao Aige didn't care, like a flower stained with morning dew in the wind, in this small garden, gently swaying, and the emerald skirt bloomed like a bud between the rotations.
Looking like a fairy who came out of a fairy tale, her sister who shines even if she dances solo, the adoration on Sajo Ayaka's face is even stronger.
"The preparations for the summoning are complete."
Sand Strip Aige smiled slightly, looking at her feet, the trail left by her slender toes as they crossed the garden land, already forming the shape of a magic circle.
There are no materials to conduct magic and form the basis of the ritual array, and this ritual array is like child's play in the eyes of any magician, even if it is a simple ritual array made of poultry blood, I don't know where it is officially compared to this.
But for Sand Stripes, that's all there is to prepare.
"Now that the first Heroic Spirit has appeared, I should also try my best."
She snapped her fingers, and with this action, this no altar, no materials, no environment, would simply make the angry onlookers who knew how to jump like thunder, and the three-no ritual array that issued a stern question of 'Are you treating the Holy Grail War as a game' still lit up with a hazy light.
"Let me see, who should I choose?"
There was not even a formal chant, and the girl showed an innocent expression, shaking her slender fingers slightly, and whispering in some distress.
Sandstripe Aige didn't add any extra restraint to this Holy Grail War, although it was still seven servants and the same old rank, but if you summon characters outside of it, it is also allowed by the rules.
The rules that were originally added on a whim to make this ceremony more gorgeous are now really returned to her.
For the princess of the root, the holy relic is an unnecessary existence, as long as there are still heroic spirits that may be summoned, she can summon them, even if the servant herself resists the summoning itself, it cannot prevent the establishment of this act
Whether it is the realm record belt or the inhibition power, in the face of the power she has, she can only let it go.
But this kind of happy distress is also a big trouble for Sand Strip Aige.
She is indeed an all-knowing and all-powerful existence, and can freely judge the strength and weakness of the heroic spirits, but as a girl, she has just been born.
When it comes to Roland, everything in the world is full of surprises and unknowns for Sand Stripe Aige, which brings her happiness at the same time, but also makes her observe the future a lot less.
"Do you summon a more powerful Spirit, or do you choose a Heroic Spirit that will make the world more interesting by choosing something other than the specifications...... Well, it's better to be a little more powerful, after all, you still have to eliminate some combinations quickly. β
"In this way, it is also a good choice to find someone from some things that deviate from the trajectory of human reason and have been abandoned, but it still feels a little wrong."
Sajo Aige's expression gradually changed, and suddenly as if he remembered something, he turned his head to look at the young girl who was cowering in the pigeon flock next to him.
"Ayaka, what do you think, if you want to choose a sacrifice, what do you think is the best standard?"
The pointed sand Ayaka looked at the ritual array that was still bright, not only did she not have to concentrate when exercising the technique, but she also had the leisure to chat with her, is this the level of her sister?
However, Ayaka Sajo, who was rarely asked by her sister, also thought quickly.
If it was something else, she might not be able to provide any help to her sister, but if it was a sacrifice, it would be another story.
The black magic of the Sajo family relies on the pain of the sacrifice as a source of strength, and because Sajo Aige doesn't need to be taught by others, Ayaka receives her father's true inheritance most of the time.
Hiroki Sajo emphasized to her countless times that she couldn't resonate with the sacrifice, otherwise the hesitation and confusion caused by it would only harm herself as a magician.
Ayaka also wanted to respond to her father's expectations, but she just couldn't.
Satiao Ayaka looked at the white pigeon that was still pecking at the tip of her shoe, and sighed softly, obviously deciding that she must kill one with her own hands every time, but she never did it, but because of the accumulation of feeding, these pigeon flocks that were supposed to be sacrifices are getting closer and closer to her.
After hesitating for a moment, Ayaka Sajo said worriedly.
"If you have to choose a sacrifice, the best choice should be the kind that will not be a pity to give up, but it is very obedient."
"It's a pity that it's superfluous to give it up, it's just a sacrifice for sacrifice anyway," Sajo Aige, who couldn't understand her sister's hesitation, said cruel words in a gentle voice, "But do you care more about obedience?" β
"Yes......"
I don't know what came to mind, but Sand Stripe Aige showed a cheerful expression.
"Think about it carefully, there are indeed a lot of troubles, in order to avoid getting out of control, it's better to choose one that is not easy to get out of control, if you think about it carefully, it's better to be stronger, at least you have to have the ability to encounter tricky guys, and you can also pose a threat, then, it's you."
After the dazzling glimmer of bright light, the mere presence seemed to stain the surrounding space with a layer of light, and a towering figure belonging to a male appeared in the center of the summoning array.
He had white hair as clear as snow, and his whole body was as hot as the sun, and his sharp eyes scanned around and finally fixed on the body of Sand Stripe Aige.
After realizing what kind of existence the girl herself is, the great hero, who is the embodiment of the ultimate light, respectfully bows his head towards the Sand Strip Love Song.
Although he is also a great hero who occupies an important position among the heroes of Mahabharata, he himself never thinks that there is anything remarkable about it, and he does not show an arrogant attitude because of this, not to mention, even the most noble existence, in front of the girl, he should put away his glory and pay respect.
"So, you are the son of the sun god, the great hero of almsgiving, Karna?"
Although he already knew the strength and origin of the other party, Sand Stripe Aige still stared curiously at the slender and gorgeous golden armor, and asked with some curiosity.
"Exactly, the queen of the world, as long as it is your will, no matter what kind of order, I will obey it."
"It's really reliable, the spirit core is also exceptional, oh...... No, it seems like we're fighting the Holy Grail War right now, so it's safer to use a pronoun. β
"As long as it's what you expect."
Karna was about to ask for the next order, but found that Sand Strip Aige suddenly turned his head and looked at the sky on the other side.
And following his own six senses that are beyond the norm as a warrior, Karna also understands the reason why Sand Strip Aige is looking over there.
There is a character who transcends the boundaries and overrides the rules of existence of the servant, and descends.
"Crown ......"
Sand Stripe muttered and turned to look at Karna.
"If this is your wish, in the name of Suriya, I will do my best, and I will not be afraid of any enemy."
Karna whispered in response to his master, as if to add credibility to his words, as a golden light emerged from the void and pierced his left handβa god-given treasure that shone with fantastical glory like a crescent moon.
Seeing Karna's attitude, Sand Stripe Aige also nodded with satisfaction.
"I'll leave the rest of the battle to you, and I'm going to break down the obstacles I don't know, Archer?"
ββ
The colorless weight ravages the surrounding atmosphere, but it is the mystery of the surroundings that collapses first compared to the real matter.
No, it would not be appropriate to describe it as a collapse, because they were only beginning to transform towards the high dimensional posture of the past, and the uncomfortable true ether filled the room, and for ordinary magicians, it was no different from a hell full of magma, because their fragile bodies would only be easily burned, even if breathing was a luxury for them.
At this moment, the environment of this closed room is no less than the slit in the inner world.
And in the middle of the storm, Roland calmly rubbed the ring in his hand, and his scarlet eyes flashed with a different light, as if his gaze had penetrated the center of the storm and saw the existence behind the wall of reality and fantasy.
He didn't make any superfluous moves, because the ritual of advent had been completed, and a strong, fire-like source of magic had appeared in the center of the ritual array, and the change in the surrounding environment was due to his handiwork.
The first time it came, it carried this rhythm as heavy as mercury, and even the fantasy species did not have such outstanding power.
Finally, in Roland's expectant gaze, in the center of the rotating light and shadow, the tall figure was completely revealed.
He had brown skin, pale hair tied in a single ponytail on his chest, wearing a complicated and noble royal robe, his expression was slightly solemn, but his eyes were neither sad nor joyful, and he could not see any superfluous feelings, as if he were just a machine, but even so, it could not hide the innate sense of majesty in him.
But compared to these superfluous features, Roland's eyes were still involuntarily attracted by another thing, on the hand of this figure, there was something that looked exactly like the quaint ring on his hand.
The only difference is in quantity.
On the ten fingers of this figure, there are golden rings, without exception.
Thank you Xuanyuan Bin for your 500 point tip!
