Chapter 67 The price

In the basement of Tohsaka's house, candlelight was flickering, and the atmosphere was gloomy and dignified.

Tohsaka Toki sat alone in front of the retro stereo, seeming to be talking to himself and confirming to the listener on the other side of the stereo: "The Hero King Gilgamesh lost."

The supervisor Kotomine Risei's voice came from the audio system: "Yes, it has been confirmed through Assassin's eyes that the King of Heroes has left the stage."

Tohsaka Shichen closed his eyes and sighed: "What a mistake, I thought that summoning the Servant Killer would definitely get the Holy Grail and fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Tohsaka family for hundreds of years."

"I'm sorry, Assassin can't help. When Archer was defeated, Assassin had no room to intervene. Caster is not an ordinary servant. I'm afraid this was all planned from the beginning."

Toki Tosaka squeezed the ruby ​​scepter in his hand and answered in agreement: "No servant in this Holy Grail War is a simple person. With the arrogance of the King of Heroes, the careless defeat is completely expected. What people did not expect is that He was actually the first to leave."

"Patriarch Tosaka, Assassin doesn't have a master yet." Yan Fengli pointed out.

Tosaka Shichen shook his head and said: "Assassin is already an abandoned child, what's the point of picking it up again, Assassin doesn't have the ability to fight head-on, so it would be too ugly to make the last struggle."

"Patriarch Tohsaka, there is one more thing to report to you. Berserker has been found. It seems to be active in the urban area. Several civilians were killed. It is not clear what they want to do."

"Now...what else can we do."

······

"The scabbard."

In the outer forest, Shinji Matou took the holy sword scabbard from Saber, and unfolded the formation in front of him. Irisviel lay in the center of the formation, and opened her artificial device as the formation activated.

A complex magic circle unfolded above Irisviel's body. It can be seen that the spells in some places have failed, and the magic circle is not working smoothly.

It is the crystallization of Einzbern's technology for thousands of years. Even Shinji Matou cannot see through such a delicate thing.

Matou Shinji carefully placed the scabbard on top of the magic circle, reinjecting the concept of [Avalon] into the android's body to stabilize its operation.

Irisviel slowly opened her eyes, lay down and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Matou Shinji and Saber. She smiled softly and said, "Great, you are all fine."

Matou Shinji nodded: "Archer is officially out. We have wiped out the greatest threat of this Holy Grail War. Thanks to Saber's help, I was able to survive Archer's Noble Phantasm attack."

"Irisviel, are you in good health?" Saber took a step forward, supported Irisviel and asked concerned.

"Well, don't worry, as before, the supply of magic power is completely OK!" Irisviel smiled playfully, swung her right arm vigorously, and looked as energetic as a child.

really?

Matou Shinji's eyes flickered. He was very clear about Irisviel's condition. It was worse than imagined. To use an analogy, if a human heart was briefly taken out and put back after a while, the person's body would remain normal. ?

The body structure of the artificial human is more precise than that of a human being, and the ten minutes after taking out the scabbard are enough to cause irreversible damage.

The balance of Irisviel's body was broken. Although she can still maintain her human side, as the number of absorbed servant souls increases, the recovery of the Little Holy Grail will inevitably squeeze her human side.

The current Irisviel is very similar to the state of the original work, and will inevitably lose her human form over time, and finally become the Little Holy Grail completely.

This is obviously not the perfect ending that Shinji Matou wanted, and it is even worse than the ending of the FGO linkage. In the FZ linkage activity book, Irisviel went to Chaldea as a cyborg.

The workload has increased again.

Matou Shinji sighed silently. Fortunately, the price was not high compared to Archer's withdrawal.

Putting the scabbard back into Irisviel's body, Matou Shinji's expression moved slightly, and the detection magic sensed an abnormal aura, and the distance was quite close.

No, it's not so much perception, it's better to say that the other party deliberately exposed his whereabouts, and there is no one else except Assassin with such a strong concealment ability.

"Come out, Assassin." Shinji Matou looked into the darkness of the forest and said calmly.

Saber reacted immediately, holding her sword on guard.

Black smoke converged into Assassin's body, and Assassin, wearing a pale skull mask, hid in the shadow of the forest, and said in a low voice, "Caster, you have violated the church's prohibition against fighting."

"I know, so what." Matou Shinji said indifferently.

Archer has withdrawn, and Matou Shinji has lost most of his worries about this Holy Grail War. The next step is to go to the church to snatch the command spell from Kotomine Rimasa's arm, which is a very important strategic resource.

"..."

There was a short silence, and Assasin said again: "We will discuss your punishment at another time. The order from the supervisor has discovered the whereabouts of Berserker. It is killing innocent civilians in the city and violating the secret treaty of the Holy Grail War. The most urgent task is to eliminate Get rid of Berserker, in that case, the church may consider canceling your punishment."

After speaking, Assassin disappeared into the shadows.

"Caster, what should we do next?" Saber asked.

Shinji Matou clasped his hands and murmured, "Although it's a lot of consumption tonight, I'd better go and see the situation. The master of Berserker can't use common sense to infer, and Jack the Ripper's treasure is also very tricky. I'm afraid they want to buy it in the city. It will cause chaos in the area, and increase the power of the Noble Phantasm based on human fear and anxiety, if left unattended, it may grow into a huge threat no less than Archer."

"Irisviel." Saber looked at her master, she was the one who really made the decision.

Irisviel nodded: "I also agree with Mr. Caster's opinion, but there is one thing I want to confirm. Mr. Caster, when Archer used the treasure, it was Lancer who helped us. Will Lancer also agree to assist us in dismantling the Holy Grail?"

"I haven't told her the truth about the Holy Grail War yet. In exchange for additional information, Lancer may not be our enemy, but he will never help us."

"learn."

The power outage began in the afternoon, and the rush to repair it was until 9:[-], absolutely nothing!

Playing with your phone in the dark makes your eyes almost go blind.

The remaining chapter may be later.

Chapter 68 Nature

The dark alleys of Fuyuki City are littered with garbage, and the neon lights of the city cannot illuminate the darkness deep inside.

"Master of Berserker, what are you doing?"

Kotomine Kirei stood at the end of the alley, staring at Ryunosuke Ugyu in confusion, but got no answer.

Dead people can't speak.

Ryunosuke Yusheng's body has been cut open, the internal organs are exposed, and the head has been cut off and put aside, as if a clever operation has been performed, the human body has been perfectly cut.

What puzzled Kotomine Kirei the most was that he was obviously killed by his own servants, Ryunosuke Usei raised a satisfied smile, as if he had found the meaning of life, fought for it and achieved his ideal.

The smile is filled with joy from the bottom of my heart.

Seeing Ryuunosuke Ubu's smile, Kotomine Kirei actually felt a little bit envious.

"The command spell has disappeared, and it has lost its binding force on the servants. It is only natural to be killed by the servants, but why is the expression so satisfied?"

Kotomine Kirei was very puzzled, Ryuunosuke Uyuu seemed to him an abnormal and pure human being, like a mirror, Kotomine Kirei saw his own miniature in him.

"Continuously killing people, finding the meaning of life from the act of killing people, does this kind of person really exist in the world? Now that he has the answer, there is no doubt that what he is after is completely opposite to ordinary people."

"The King of Heroes said that human beings will instinctively pursue pleasant things, such as beasts thirsting for blood, death and nothingness. If this meaningless concept is what Berserker's Master pursues..."

"Then myself..." Kotomine Kirei pulled an evil smile from the corner of his mouth.

"hahahahahahahahahahaha."

Kotomine Kirei laughed wildly: "Now I can finally be sure, what a loss of composure, that Kotomine Risei, my father really gave birth to something worse than a dog."

Faced with his own nature, Kotomine Kirei actually felt happy because of this, so far his father Kotomine Risei hoped to train Kotomine Kirei to be an excellent priest and inherit his mantle.

If Yan Fengli, who believed in the Heavenly Father and walked on the right track all his life, knew how confused his son's nature would be!

Just like when Kotomine Kirei was confused because of his wife's suicide, why didn't he let himself do it himself instead of committing suicide.

Obviously the most precious person, something that should be protected with his life, but Kotomine Kirei wants to destroy it with his own hands.

Kotomine Kirei finally understood that the pain of others is the beauty he pursues.

The maniacal laughter stopped abruptly, Kotomine Kirei took out three black keys from the windbreaker and clamped them between his fingers.

Concept dress - black key.

The Black Key is the most commonly used conceptual dress for church members. Usually, only the hilt of the Black Key is needed. It is small in size and easy to carry. The sword body will be generated with the concept unfolding.

At the entrance of the alley, a black wolfdog that was as big as a lion let out a strange roar. Its hair was dark, and it was dripping with foul-smelling black liquid. It bared its teeth and its scarlet eyes were full of violence.

"Is this a demon summoned by Berserker? It turns out that he wants to eat this city and give him the peace of death." Kotomine Kirei sneered.

"Declaring—

As I kill, I also create.

I both hurt and help the world.

No one has to escape from my hand, and no one does not accept my eyes.

Return to the dust. "

The messenger of hell rushed towards Kotomine Kirei, the black key unfolded, and Kotomine Kirei continued to chant the mantra.

“The defeated, the aged are called by me. Commit yourself to me, learn from me, serve me.

Give you a rest.Don't forget to sing, don't forget to pray, don't forget my name, my lightness, liberate you from the pain of all things.

Get rid of the pretense. "

Swish!

Kotomine Kirei used his left hand as bait, and while being bitten off by the demon, the three black keys in his right hand pierced through the neck of the Hell Envoy from below and fixed it to the wall.

"Revenge for forgiveness, betrayal for trust, despair for hope, darkness for light, dark death for the things of life.

Rest is what I bring.Burn your sins and engrave them in your brand.

Eternal life can only be bestowed by death.

——Forgive me here, I swear by the flesh.

May the Lord have mercy on this sad soul. "

After the prayer was completed, the hell demon wailed, and a large amount of white smoke emitted from the foul-smelling body, and disappeared.

Magic is a heresy for the church. The church uses "miracles" based on doctrines, a stereotyped and improved simple magic ritual "baptismal chant", the strongest spiritual magic.

Kotomine Kirei stared at his broken left hand and murmured: "I can't die now, but I still want to see how this city has been reduced to hell. It must be quite enjoyable."

······

In the urban area of ​​Fuyuki City, the prosperity is no longer there, and the once peaceful city has turned into a hell on earth.

There were panicked crowds everywhere. People's screams were covered by explosions and beastly roars. The streets and alleys were full of demons with wings on their backs, minotaur bodies, and open horns. They slaughtered civilians without restraint.

Cars were overturned and buildings were ablaze.

In the high-rise buildings, the white-collar workers at work looked at the chaos below in confusion, and some people took pictures with their mobile phones and uploaded them to the Internet.

"Is this a movie?"

"Are you stupid, are movie props so realistic?"

"What the hell happened, what are those monsters?"

"Bull head and horns, isn't this the devil in Western legends, don't go down, call the police!"

"Ordinary police are useless."

Many white-collar workers were frightened, but when they thought they were in a safe environment, a huge black shadow passed by, and the sonic boom shattered the glass of the building.

"Back! Back quickly!"

"what is this!"

"And there are flying monsters?"

The crowd screamed and backed away. A few unlucky ones had fainted and fell to the ground.

hum~ hum~ hum~

The sound of flapping wings came from outside the building, and a huge black shadow blocked the fire outside. A demon flew in mid-air and watched the scene of the high-rise office.

On the ground, the police cars rushed to the scene, and the patrolmen who came down immediately pulled out the guns on their waists, but no matter how many shots they fired at the demon, they could not cause damage, and were slaughtered.

"Monster! Hurry up and notify the higher-ups and send the Self-Defense Forces! Our pistols and guns don't work at all!"

"Why do these things appear in the middle of cities?"

"Damn it, no matter how you look at it, we are all cannon fodder. What is needed now is not the police, but Dante!"

"Don't be afraid, cover the citizens' retreat!"

The armed helicopter shuttled between the tall buildings, and the special police armed with assault rifles crazily fired at the demon below. The bullets hit the demon's body and sparks could only be splashed. Before it lasted long, a huge black shadow passed by.

"Right! Unknown creature! Dodge! Dodge!"

The SWAT hurriedly warned, but it was already too late. The demon flapped its wings and crashed into the armed helicopter.
