Powerful players want to be passers-by

After school was finally over, Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he dragged Zhenbai out of class D and came to the activity room of the art department.

Today is more tiring than ever.

Although the relationship with Zhenbai has been clarified, Zhenbai's very misleading remarks from time to time still ignite the unpopular alliance with a certain frequency-I mean the anger of the FFF group.

As for the culprit who caused Lu Yao to be so tired, Shiina Mashiro was still obediently sitting across from him, sipping baumkuchen.Sensing Lu Yao's gaze, Zhenbai tilted his head, glanced at the Baumkuchen in his hand, and handed it to Lu Yao with a look of reluctance.

After Lu Yao said "I don't need it, you can eat it", he got up happily again.In this way, Lu Yao has no way to lose his temper.

Yiji put a cup of tea in front of Lu Yao, and said gently, "Thank you."

"You knew this was going to happen, didn't you?"

"Eh—is that so?" Kazuki pretended to be stupid, "I've been wronged, Haruka. Anyway, I'm just a human, an ordinary girl, don't call me the kind of person who counts everything .”

"Who said 'Miss Thanadus knows everything'?"

"Where are the children I don't know~" Ichihime smiled cutely, "Instead of talking about these inexplicable things, let's get to know who are the people in the art department?"

26. Devil Dragon

"What the hell happened—"

Romani's screams came out.

"On the way from Orléans to Paris, there was a magical reaction comparable to multiple servants. This is incredible! 』

In fact, without Romani's reminder, both Lu Yao in Orleans and Ophelia in Paris have observed it.The huge figure slowly stood up from there.

Lu Yao frowned and said to himself: "This body shape can be compared with Albion's Dragon, right?"

The clock tower of one of the three giants of the Magic Association.

Its headquarters was built on the outskirts of London, to be precise, it was built on the corpse of a giant dragon.

That is—the tomb of the soul, Albion.

A huge dragon species about 2㎞, it was a great existence comparable to the gods during its lifetime.

Too bad it's an idiot.

When human beings become the largest force on the earth and the laws of physics on the surface of the planet are changing, they are still unwilling to abandon their bodies and go to the Inner Sea of ​​Stars.A guy who tried to cross the textile barrier with his own power and died on the way.

After his death, his remains were buried under the current clock tower and used as a magical resource.

As a result, an underground space with a depth of 400㎞ was formed.The time and space inside the tomb are ambiguous, and the environment is constantly changing.The atmosphere is filled with true ether.There are many dangerous phantasmagorias in existence—there is even a mythical beast class, and it is believed that there are existences of the same origin as Cerberus and Abaddon.

Because of this, the clock tower with the spiritual tomb is no less than the leader of the magic world that is no less than Atlas Academy and Wandering Sea, and even faintly tends to dominate.

One of the reasons for such a strange world is the dragon of Albion.

And at this moment, what appears in this French singularity is no less than the existence of Albion's dragon... no, it may even be stronger.

"Roman, can you analyze it?"

『It is possible, but it cannot be completed without a certain amount of time. 』

"There's no need to start from scratch. Compare the sea monster summoned by Giles and Fafnir from Black Joan."

"Oh... Hey, there are some similarities between the Great Sea Demon and Fafnir in the spirit foundation. This is a compound spirit foundation, and besides the above two, there is another strange spirit foundation! ”Romani’s voice was full of surprise, “Is this——”

"An unfamiliar spirit base?"

……

"This feeling..." Mozart frowned.

"Mr. Amadeus, do you know anything?" Ophelia asked.

"Ah, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the "Demon God"."

"The devil?"

"impossible!That is absolutely impossible! "Romani said anxiously, "Although judging from the reaction, it is neither a Servant nor a phantom, but a 'demon', but when it comes to demon gods, it must be the 72 demon gods, right?But that shouldn’t exist—”

"But He did appear, didn't he?" Mozart said, "Besides, I know about it. The dragon species that has fused the power of the Demon God... let's call it the Demon God Dragon. The Demon God attached to it has no power. The question is the 67th-ranked Demon God——Amdusias!"

"..." Romani's expression was complicated.

"The demon god of music?" Ophelia's expression was a little strange, "The so-called demon god refers to a kind of demon... If it is like the 72-pillar demon god, could it be a true demon?"

"Will not. "Romani said, "Although demon gods can be classified as 'demons', they will never be real demons. There is an essential difference in the way they are born. 』

The reason Ophelia asked this question was related to her family's Grand Order.

What the Famsorone family is trying to contact and analyze is the existence called 'True Devil'.Even if Ophelia herself is not interested or even bored by it, she still can't help but understand it.

If it is said that God speaks of the existence of omniscience and omnipotence, then the real devil is the existence of human knowledge and incompetence.

An abyss that is absolutely beyond comprehension, though within reach.

The existence of the so-called true demon is said to be attached to people's hearts and obtained through incarnation of the human body.However, human beings, who are the seedbeds of true demons, generally cannot bear this kind of mental load, and eventually they can't control themselves to radiate demonic nature outwards and eventually collapse themselves.

Whether it is a demon or a demon, the existence of a real demon is not essentially different from the high-dimensional life forms living on different cultural circles and different planets.

Its way of existence is similar to the evil gods in the Cthulhu mythology.

Throughout human history, there is no case.The enlightened person who showed the world the way he reached enlightenment and finally transcended the universe, the demon he encountered in his practice is one of them.

The enemy of Buddha.

In a certain timeline, a certain person with the aptitude to become a "savior" who was the natural enemy of the Enlightened One eventually degenerated into a true demon in this way.

"If a demon god exists, it can also be regarded as a high-dimensional life body, so it is only natural that it has a spiritual quality that is difficult for multiple servants to match.But this cannot be regarded as a true demon. 』

"Doctor, you know it really well..."

"what! ”Romani was stunned for a moment, and he got up after looking around, “You also know that I have been traveling and studying all over the world before coming to Chaldea, and I am an idle half-baked mystic.So although I don't remember it very clearly, I must have read related books somewhere. 』

"Really?" Ophelia didn't have the idea to dig deeper. After Romani gave a reluctant answer, Ophelia revealed the matter, and she said, "I know that you have many questions, doctor. Secretly, everyone who came back to Chaldea has a past that they don’t want to be known in one way or another... Hehe, although not all of them are. In short, if you don’t want to speak out, doctor, you don’t have to force yourself to do so. OK."

(Well, Ophelia, what a good girl.)

Romani was a little moved when he heard Ophelia's answer.

(However, now is not the time to say that.)

Gently patted his cheek, (Li Xiang and the director's exploration of the singularity were much slower than Lu Jun and Ophelia, and they had just come into contact with the forces that could be wooed in that era—namely The Roman Empire under the rule of Emperor Nero, so the most basic support is enough.)

But looking back at the French singularity, it is a bit magical.

Lu Yao directly parachuted into the enemy's headquarters, then activated the celestial body magic, pulled down the meteorite from the sky, and directly destroyed Orleans and more than 90% of the enemy's vital forces, forcing them to make a final resistance.

In the end, with the Holy Grail as the heart of the fusion, a monster that should not have existed was born from the integration of the three of the restraining sea monster, the apex dragon species of the fantasy species, and one of the 72 demon gods.

『Spiritual base value is still rising... on this scale, the main god level, no, is there any existence above this? ! ”Romani was sweating profusely, “Damn it, I don’t even have time to think about other things... In short, Lu Jun, Ophelia, and Jie have no room to breathe. Do your best to kill him—let's call him the enemy of the demon dragon Andusias first! 』

(Although it was just denied that the demon god is a true demon, it should have been thought that that kind of Buddha enemy level existence would not appear so easily, but now this kind of abnormal observation data, although it is still not a true demon, can already be considered to be that kind 'Catastrophe' right...)

—Beast.

That is the so-called "human evil".

The catastrophe rejected by the history of mankind was born from human civilization. With the development of human beings, it has become stronger and stronger, but it destroys civilization from the inside of society. It is like a cancer cell.

……

"Beast? Ah, I feel that way. However, I don't need to show such an expression."

"Why are you still so carefree!If it is confirmed that it is Beast, then it is not something that can be defeated with this little force. 』

"Because it's not the real Beast." Lu Yao said, "It should include a small part of the Beast, because it is fused with the Great Sea Demon and Fafnir, and with the Holy Grail as the heart, it has been strengthened too far to lead to animalism. Let’s overflow. But that’s just a part of the Beast—instead of emphasizing its power as a Beast, it’s better to think of its power as a hybrid life form. If it’s just pure power, it’s not qualified to be called a real one. Beast."

"In other words, it's a Fake Beast, that is, a fake of a beast!" 』

"Yes. Although it is possible to possess Beast's job description and some skills, it can only be regarded as an extension of the real Beast—even so, it can't be left alone. If it continues to exist, say Maybe it will become a real beast." Lu Yao said, "Another point is that this animal nature is undoubtedly brought by the demon god Andusias, and when it is confirmed that it is an extension of the beast, then it is completely Judging by reason, the real beast is... the collection of 72 Pillar Demon Gods."

"……what. 』Romani looked complicated.

"Roman, now is not the time to think wildly. The first task is to defeat the demon dragon Andusias."

"I know. Romani cheered up, "Ophelia met a wild Servant who can help us. Since it is not a real Beast, even a Servant without a Grand may not be invincible in a fight. 』

"Let's go, Yu."

"Yes."

Lu Yao and Yu Ji rushed towards the Demon God Dragon.

'The bestiality comes from Andusias, and Andusias is part of the "Humanism Correction Formula" created by King Solomon.Then, the biggest possibility is that the "humanity correction formula" was distorted and became the "humanity incineration style", and the degeneration became a Beast, did this cause this incident? '

Lu Yao was thinking, 'Roman, have you noticed this too?Although you seem to want to deceive yourself and others, you probably already have the answer in your heart, right? '

On the other side, Ophelia and others in the direction of Paris also decided to launch a surprise attack.

"High-energy reaction ahead, Mr. Lu, Ophelia, and Kata, pay attention! ! 』

At the same time as Romani issued a warning, the demon dragon Andusias spread his wings and let out a deafening dragon roar.Just like a nuclear bomb detonated, a strong shock wave spread out from its center, and the nearby buildings were swept away.

『This kind of magical power released——is undoubtedly at the level of the main god! "Romani said, "Although it is difficult for such a high-level opponent to appear in the French singularity, it is still the only way to go. 』

Without Romani's words, Lu Yao, Ophelia and Yu Ji were not going to retreat.

"Let's go together, everyone!" Ophelia shouted, "At the same time, launch the treasure at the demon dragon Andusias!"

All the Servants agreed to Ophelia's proposal, and each of them began to brew magic power.

"Bolverk Gram!"

"May the Lily Crown Glory Live (Guillotine Breaker)!"

"Turn around Fire Raising Samadhi (Tenshin Kashou Zanmai)!"

"Dragon Crying Thunder (Kilenc Sarkany)!"

"Requiem for Death!"

Five of the six Servants used Noble Phantasms, but Joan's Noble Phantasm was a purely defensive Noble Phantasm, so no real name liberation was performed.

With this level of firepower, if the target of the siege is a Servant, there is a high probability that it will be completely wiped out.But if the target of the attack is the demon dragon Andusias——

"invalid?!"

"No, it's not invalid, it's invalidated. "Romani said, "When it hit the demon dragon Andusias, its special skill - Nega Summon was triggered. 』

"Nega Summon?"

Romani was silent for a while, and then said: "If, I mean if. If the so-called 72 demon gods do exist, they are summoned... The magic of summoning spirit bodies from the past, present and future is called summoning." The pinnacle of summoning is to summon and serve the spiritual beings known as 72 demon gods. In other words, the so-called demons themselves are the pinnacle of summoning techniques, so they have the ability to suppress Servants who are also summoning techniques. Power...that is, to negate and destroy the attack originating from the Servant, and to abolish all Noble Phantasms that are symbols of Heroic Spirits!"

"If this is the case, how can we fight!" Ophelia said, "Isn't it because Servants are considered to be a power that can pray regardless of time and space, so they choose to call heroes? With the existence of enemies with abilities, isn’t that just waiting to die?”

"Indeed..." Romani said, "If the opponent is really the '72 Pillar Demon God', I am afraid that apart from 'some special treasure', there is no possibility of causing effective damage.However, the demon dragon Andusias in front of him is only one of the 72 pillars. Even if he gets a little power from the whole, it is impossible to completely abolish the attack from the Servant. 』

"But the attack just now was ineffective—"

"No, your Servant—— Sigurd's Noble Phantasm hurt the Demon God Dragon. "Romani said, "The Demon God Dragon is not a pure Demon God, but a Demon God mixed with dragon species.In other words, the power of the dragon slayer can still have an effect on it. 』

After a pause, Romani continued: "One more thing.The Demon God Dragon forcibly ate your attack, not really unscathed, but...healed quickly. 』

That probably came from the ability of the Sea Demon.

Andusias, the demon dragon, looks like a huge dragon.But it exudes an evil breath belonging to a beast and a madness that interferes with the spirit.

What Fafnir provided was a strong spirit foundation that could accommodate this kind of fusion, while the sea monster and Andusias had a mutual relationship. The sea monster inspired the power of the demon god, and the demon god accepted the strangeness of the sea monster .

故而并非是1+1+1，而是（1+1+1）?才对，并且还拥有着圣杯的增幅。

"In this case, knowing that the Servant's attack is effective against the Demon God Dragon is not very meaningful."

"That's why the following missions appear. 』

27. Raiders plan

"The demon dragon Andusias, which is a fusion of the sea monster, Fafnir, and the demon god Andusias, is very unlikely to be defeated head-on. What we, who do not have such overwhelming power, can do." It is to hit the weak point and weaken it. 』

At the same time, Romani told Lu Yao and Ophelia about the plan.

"According to the analysis results, the demon dragon Andusias is the existence of multiple spirit cores, so it has such super-standard quality.Although breaking one or two spirit cores can't achieve the effect of breaking them, it can effectively weaken their power. 』

Ophelia said, "In other words, the power of the Demon God Dragon must be nullified first, right?"

"yes. After a pause, Romani said, "Not only that, the super regeneration of the sea monster may have become a kind of immortality. If it is not dealt with, taking ten thousand steps back, having the power of positive suppression is also possible. It may not be possible to destroy the Demon God Dragon.So there is an inevitability to do it. 』

"What shall we do then?"
