Chapter 723 Traces of the Witch
Astraea?
The face of Ruler in front of him is unfamiliar, but the name is not unfamiliar, especially to Achilles and Atalanta, the two heroes of Greek mythology, it is very familiar.
She is the goddess of justice and Libra, the daughter of Zeus and his second wife Themis.
In terms of seniority, Achilles is the fourth generation born from Zeus and his granddaughter, while Astraea is the second generation, so he has to call his grandmother.
In terms of personality, Achilles was missing a step in the baptism, but Astraea is a complete goddess, a true god!
Even Gilgamesh, who is two-thirds god and one-third human, is inferior to her in divinity.
Legend has it that at the end of the age of myth, the gods left one after another, and she remained the only one who stayed on the ground for a long time, calling for justice to people, until eventually the scales she held turned into Libra, and she herself turned into Virgo.
Judging from the situation at hand... the Ruler summoned by the Holy Grail for the Holy Grail War was not summoned directly, but summoned to a human with suitable conditions in all aspects, making him a special 'similar Servant'?
And if Astraea, the goddess of justice, serves as the judge, her words can indeed be believed to be fair and just.
But Jin Shining didn't want to listen.
"Judge? I don't need any judge to guide me..."
"Wait, King Gilgamesh!" At this moment, Tohsaka Rin suddenly interrupted, and then used a softer tone for the first time and said: "Please listen to what she said for a moment, she seems to have descended into a On a friend I know well."
Luvia was a friend she met when she went to the Clock Tower several times during the holidays to learn magic. She was a distant relative of the Tosaka family. Although the quarreling and bickering seemed to be a bad relationship, she didn't want Luvia to be harmed by the King of Heroes. Cut the meat into pieces.
'Hmph, the bastard who said he wanted to give me advice will only cause trouble now...' Gilgamesh snorted dissatisfied in his heart, and then said: "Goddess of Justice? I want to see how you can ensure this." Fair fight.”
"Please trust my verdict."
Astraea lifted her right hand lightly, and as the endless starlight shone, a small golden scale was held in her hand and swayed gently.
“The lightness of good is the weight of sin.”
“The greater the evil, the lighter the punishment.”
"Blessed by Libra!"
A ray of starlight swayed, and Libra suddenly flew into the Tohsaka family's mansion, and attached to Tosaka Rin's body while the golden eyes moved slightly.
Tohsaka Rin raised his hand in surprise and heard Astraea continue: "Changing positions to fight, the King of Heroes should be most worried about the safety of the Master. With the protection of Libra, even the heroic spirit cannot hurt you in a short time. Master, it's enough for her to react and use the command spell to call you back.
And if she loses the Command Seal as a result, I will replenish it with the power of the Servant class, and other Masters who are damaged will also be compensated after I make a fair assessment. "
Jin Shining looked back at the Tohsaka family.
"If you don't have any objections to my ruling for the time being, please follow me to the dock and continue this unfinished battle. Of course, you can decide for yourself whether you want to fight or flee when you get there."
Atalanta and Achilles looked at each other. At this moment, they had already felt the aura of another Black servant, and the other party said that he would follow. The King of Heroes is probably the most difficult guy on the red side in this Holy Grail War, and he always has to give it a try.
Atalanta ignored her Master who was dissatisfied with her shooting arrows to help Achilles. Achilles obtained his Master's permission, but he only had to put his own safety first.
Jin Shining glanced around lightly and said, "Lead the way, Ruler."
The battlefield begins to shift.
…
In Weber's Magic Base.
Through simple clairvoyance magic, everyone saw everything in the crystal ball.
The King of Conquerors gently rubbed his chin: "It seems that the Ruler summoned in this Holy Grail War is a reliable guy. Is there a dock? Does anyone want to go with me to see it?"
Artoria looked at Ji Xing, who nodded to her. Seeing this, Mordred hesitated and said: "Hey, Arthur, let's talk first. I have told the black heroes not to interfere in the battle between us, so as long as you act, I will definitely follow By your side, as long as those guys don't take the initiative to cause trouble for you, I won't allow you to deal with them!"
At this time, Artoria understood her son's character to some extent, so she was not surprised by this, but she suddenly thought of Ji Xing's words before, 'Your fighting is not necessarily trouble.'
is that so? Using our disputes to remove both of us from the Holy Grail War?
"Then let's go and have a look." Lion Jie Jie Li said: "If I, the Master of Black, stay here with you, even if I am still alive after the Holy Grail War, I am afraid I will be wanted by the Clock Tower."
"Lixing and I will stay here." Weber said, "Looking at it this way, all 14 Heroic Spirits may appear at the dock. With our level, it was too confusing in the past."
"Uh, I want to go out." Ji Xing shook his head and said: "If I don't go to the pier, I... have to go to Tohsaka-san's house."
"Master..." Artoria was startled and almost forgot about Ji Xing's reality.
Several other people frowned.
"Hey, cook, your classmate has been bewitched by Ruler. He'll be fine."
Mordred said: "And even if an accident happens, what use will you have in the past?"
Ji Xing insisted and shook his head: "I have to go."
"Hiss..." Mordred wanted to hit someone.
"It wouldn't be too dangerous to go to Tosaka's house at this time. There shouldn't be any magicians who would challenge Ruler's protection and the King of Heroes who might be recalled at any time." Weber thought for a moment and said, "But it's best to wait ten minutes. Don’t run into other mages rushing towards the dock, and use command spells immediately when encountering any problem.”
"I understand." Ji Xing followed suit.
The others said nothing more when they saw this, and Arturia gave Ji Xing a careful look.
After the Three Heroic Spirits and Lion Tribulation dispersed, Weber looked at Ji Xing, who was sitting on the sofa waiting anxiously for ten minutes, and sighed inwardly. As a lecturer in the Clock Tower, he faced young girls and boys close to Ji Xing's age all day long. He was too I understand this.
And what he didn't say was that Tohsaka Rin and Luvia were actually his students.
Ten minutes passed quickly under the gaze of the crystal ball. Weber said, "There are bicycles in the warehouse over there. Can you ride one?"
"Yes." Ji Xing stood up and walked out, quickly pushed a small car out of the warehouse, got on it, and swooped out of the gate of the magic base.
Speeding, freedom is the direction.
In his arms, a gourd-shaped container had its lid opened, and water kept flowing out with the bumps of the car, but miraculously it did not wet his clothes or soak the ground under his feet.
It seemed to flow into the void.
As he hurried on, Ji Xing glanced over the Tohsaka family in the distance: "Something's not right. This should be our Caster, right?"
…
Tohsaka family.
Through the sensory connection, Tohsaka Rin saw that the Heroic Spirits had arrived at the dock and were "getting in place" under Astraea's arrangement, basically restoring the previous distance and state.
She looked so awkward.
"What's going on?"
She looked at the faint starlight on her body and secretly thought that Luvia should still have her own consciousness. She had some thoughts, but...that guy clearly hated Japan the most. He said that he would never set foot on the land of Fuyuki City. How could he be Ruler came to me and came here?
Ah, it’s getting really messy! First it was the King of Heroes, then Tatehoshi-san, Sakura was also worrying, and now Luvia is here? !
Why is this Holy Grail War all about things and people that give me a headache? !
Holding his forehead in annoyance, Tohsaka Rin felt a little suffocated and dizzy...huh?
Choking and dizziness? !
While her heart was horrified, her vision also went dark, and her body continued to fall in the darkness. Tohsaka Rin secretly shouted: "Oops!"
Hallucination? Is it the enemy Caster?
Generally speaking, among the seven major classes, Caster is the weakest class, because all heroic spirits have magic power and can be directly immune to many magics. However, when it comes to directly dealing with the Master, magicians have a ridiculous number of tricks. .
"The protection of Libra is only for the body, not for the spirit? Damn it, you are so careless, that Luvia guy is still so unreliable..."
Rin Tosaka felt like he was tightly wrapped in a bandage, his chest was so tight that he couldn't breathe, and soon, even his mouth and nose were sealed, and he could only make a whine.
'Calm down, calm down, Tohsaka Rin, it's just an illusion. Breaking free from this kind of thing doesn't count for you...wuwuwu...'
'What's this? Can hallucinations... also cause substantial harm? ’
"Not good...Command Seal..."
puff--
As soon as she thought of this, she felt a sharp pain coming, her vision was dark, but she knew that her right arm with the command spell on it had been cut off.
Of course, it was a hallucination, but that also made her unable to feel the Command Seal in the hallucination!
‘Isn’t it? Is this still possible? ! ’
'It's over...lost...people...and at a critical moment...lost the chain...'
Just when his consciousness was about to sink, Tohsaka Rin suddenly heard the sound of rushing water, like waves lapping at the shore, and then he felt his body being soaked in the water.
It was very warm, as if she had returned to her mother's body. The bandages that tightly bound her dissolved quickly in the water, and she was finally able to breathe heavily.
Huh? Can you still breathe in the water?
"Ha ha……"
The next moment, she returned to her home again, clutching her chest and gasping for breath for the rest of her life, her beautiful figure rising and falling.
"Saved...who is it?"
No, not saved yet!
Sensing the powerful fluctuations in magic power, she looked toward the sky through the window and saw magic arrays stacked up one after another. It was like a small treasure of the King of Heroes, covering half of the sky!
And in the center of those magic circles, a witch whose true face was covered by a hood, wearing an indigo and purple hooded cloak and purple robes, had wings on her back, dancing in the air like a black butterfly.
As he waved his arms, the numerous magic arrays glowed together, and the endless purple 'cannonballs' rushed towards Tohsaka Rin like a falling meteor shower!
"Isn't it? Divine Word Magic, is this guy a magician at the level of a magician?!"
"Luvia, please be more sensible!"
Tohsaka Rin knew that this blow was too late to defend and had to be endured. At the same time, he raised his right arm and said: "With the Red Command Seal as my life, Archer..."
Halfway through the chanting of the mantra, Tohsaka Rin heard the sound of rushing water again, and then Tohsaka Rin saw a standing river.
Like the Milky Way falling from the sky, standing between her and the purple meteor shower, like an abyss swallowing all things, swallowing up all the meteors!
Rin Tosaka was delighted, by the way, the magician who just saved me! Since this guy in the sky is the black Caster, this should be our red one!
After the purple bullets and the Milky Way were eliminated, the witch flying in the air turned her gaze to the southeast of the Tohsaka family, and the magic circle also turned its muzzle.
Another volley!
At that position, Ji Xing, with the water around him flowing like a liquid life, held the gourd in his hand and waved it in the direction of the magic bullet!
The Milky Way collides with the light bullets, the witch's magic power shoots out round after round as if it is infinite, and the water in the gourd in Ji Xing's hand also seems to be endless!
This gourd is a gift made by Ji Xing, named "Weiyuanchuan Gourd".
By arranging the magic base plate in the center of the Weiyuan River, Ji Xing directly connected it to the Weiyuan River. As long as the Weiyuan River does not dry up, his magic power will not be exhausted, and the water in the gourd will be endless!
It can also change its shape and density through the control of his magic power, which is simple and easy to use.
The attack lasted for more than ten seconds, and the witch stopped attacking Ji Xing after five consecutive rounds of fire.
"Who? A modern magician?"
She murmured in confusion. As a red Caster, she and Tohsaka Rin were supposed to be in the same camp, so she knew that the other party would not be a heroic spirit.
But according to the Master's information, there should not be many magicians of this level after the Age of Gods.
The next moment, she suddenly noticed that the density of water vapor around her seemed to be quietly increasing. Unknowingly, she was already in a hazy mist!
"Fight back a little." Ji Xing raised his right hand and snapped his fingers: "Let the magician of the Gods experience scientific magic."
Water decomposes into hydrogen and oxygen, flows and condenses, and explodes when it encounters Mars!
Rumble——
Endless firelight burned in the air, and a gorgeous mushroom cloud swallowed the witch instantly, burning all the magic arrays in an instant!
Tohsaka Rin below opened his mouth in surprise. This was simply...like a missile exploding. Modern magicians really couldn't compare with those of the Gods.
Finished?
As she followed closely, she saw the witch with some torn robes falling like a kite with a broken string, but she turned into a spirit and disappeared in the middle of the journey. She seemed to be only slightly injured.
"Tch, it's really not that easy."
She looked sideways in the other direction, no longer in a hurry to recall the King of Heroes who was already fighting over there.
Caster and Master on our red side seem to be relatively friendly. Will they come out to meet them?
On the other side, Ji Xing was not surprised that he did not cause effective damage to the witch. If a heroic spirit could be easily killed by him, a magician who had only practiced for less than a month, he would not be a heroic spirit.
But since the Clock Tower has dispatched Maris Billy, the black magician should be the very troublesome Magic King Solomon, right? Why did Medea on the red side attack Rin Tohsaka? Who is her master?
After looking around to make sure that no one saw him and that there was no clairvoyance magic or familiar magic to lock him, Ji Xing took the Weiyuanchuan Gourd back into his arms, and the water around him flowed back.
This part is the normal amount contained in the gourd, and has an effect similar to that of Moon Spirit Essence Liquid.
And just when he finished all this, a childish voice suddenly sounded nearby.
"Brother, you are so awesome."
Ji Xing looked sideways.
This didn't surprise him, because he had already sensed it before, but the appearance of the little girl he saw still made him pause for a moment.
What appeared in his sight was a six or seven-year-old girl with short aqua hair and a cute appearance. She wore a gorgeous gold-rimmed silk dress and hollow boots that were extended to the thighs, with feather belts swaying in the wind.
He raised his head with an innocent expression, expressing his admiration for Ji Xing, but there was a feeling of looking at a "miscellaneous fish" in his big shining eyes.
She looks exactly like Sakura ten years ago, or maybe she deliberately came to the Holy Grail War in this image!
"I'm not great, you are." Ji Xing smiled and said, "Weren't you the one who fought Caster just now, little sister?"
"……Why?"
I code during the day and travel at night. There are only two days left in the trip to Chongqing. I will return the day after tomorrow. Thank you to everyone who has been waiting hard for the update!
