Chapter 724 Behind the scenes
The little girl who appeared in front of Ji Xing and borrowed Sakura's appearance and used a childish tone seemed cute, but she was actually a god.
Kama, the god of love in Hindu mythology, is famous for being burned to ashes by Shiva.
Also because of this, she became an 'Incorporeal One', which coincided with Sakura's magical attribute imaginary number, so she was summoned to the Holy Grail War as the red side's Assassin assassin.
But just by looking at the appearance of this male god, you can tell that things are not ordinary.
Judging from what happened to the Tohsaka family last night and the appearance of Jin Shining, Sakura did not have the conditions to set up another summoning formation, so this guy probably chose to come here on his own.
Her age and appearance can change according to the strength of her spirit base, so the childish appearance in front of her is another evidence of her own arrival, and Sakura may not even be aware of her appearance.
But Ji Xing will not really treat her as a child just because her spiritual power is weak now. When Kama grows to the limit, he can reach the Beast level. He is the third beast of love among the seven beasts and has the power to destroy the world. , even the previous heroic spirit body Tong Yuan is far worse than it.
Of course, the beast level does not appear easily. For the time being, the Kama in front of him is just a red party who imitates Sakura's appearance and has the same B-level divine core as Ruler Astraea, and his combat power is neither weak nor too strong. Just Assassin.
Faced with Ji Xing's hat, the little Sakura was stunned for a few seconds before saying: "I'm playing against a magician... Do you want me to help you hide your strength? It sounds like a very troublesome job, not to mention that I am Kama, the God of Love, came as an Assassin in this Holy Grail War, magic and that kind of thing..."
"As an Assassin, isn't it normal to know some magic?" Ji Xing asked.
"...but I am the God of Love, and the gourd you just filled was full of water."
"Because you appeared in the form of Sakura and have mastered some rough water-attribute magic. You should know that she was sent to the Matou family for a year to undergo transformation and gained water-attributes."
"Huh? How could eldest brother know this?" Gama raised his head in surprise.
"Tohsaka Rin and I are classmates." Ji Xing said: "Don't worry about those insignificant things. These explanations of mine are reasonable, right?"
"It's a bit reluctant... No, no, why should I help you complete such troublesome work?" Gama resisted in a tone of voice.
"You just came here, so you don't understand." Ji Xing smiled and said, "Modern society is a human society. You help me and I will help you. It's harmonious and sweet."
"Ah?" Jia Mo was surprised at first, and then a little sadness appeared on his face: "I always feel like you are lying to me... I have helped you, what can you do to help me? Big brother."
The character of the heroic spirit will be affected by the stage of its descending form. It is obvious that the Kama in front of him has the innocence of a little girl, so Ji Xing continued to guide him: "Well... why did you descend?"
"How do I know that kind of thing... I felt Master's call and suddenly thought about it, so I came." Gama shook his head and said, "And I already regret it a little now. I didn't want to show up at all when that shining golden guy was around. .”
"That's it." Ji Xing said with a smile: "But you've come here, so you don't want to go back without doing anything. Let's have some fun together?"
Jia Mo was startled: "Have fun? Big brother, let's talk first. It's not okay to use the power of love as you like. I'm not here for that kind of thing. If you want to start a relationship, don't come to me. For the best.”
Ji Xing smiled mischievously, shook his head slightly, and waved to Kama to come over.
Not far away, the Tohsaka family.
"Aren't you going to show up?"
After waiting for a long time and not seeing his 'own' Caster and his Master, Tohsaka Rin, who remained on guard, was a little disappointed and a little relieved.
But after all, I saved myself once.
She thanked her in her heart. She didn't dare to relax even a little bit this time. She had already fully realized the danger of the Holy Grail War.
Through the Tohsaka family's magic base, she was closely alert to any disturbance, and suddenly she sensed that someone was entering the door that was broken by the enemy Berserker, and there were two people.
"Are you really here again, breaking in directly from the front door?" Tohsaka Rin concentrated, suddenly startled.
Tachiboshi-san and...S-Sakura? !
With a face full of shock and confusion, she quickly walked to the window and looked out, and saw that a familiar male classmate walked into her home. He was holding a very familiar little girl in his right hand and was carefully crossing Gilgamesh. The hole created by the blast.
As if feeling her gaze, the male classmate raised his head and looked at her, and then said with a surprised look on his face: "Tohsaka-san, are you okay? Where is your family? This little girl was standing on the roadside over there just now. I asked her, and she actually said she was your sister. Besides Sakura-san, do you have a second sister? But they look really alike!"
"……ah?"
Is this more than a resemblance? !
Tohsaka Rin looked at Kama in astonishment, and Kama said in a timid tone: "Sister, I'm sorry for causing you trouble again. There was an accident, and I became like this."
No way, seriously? !
This look, this tone...
"...Wait, wait!" Tohsaka Rin held his forehead and said: "I know, it's illusion magic again! Why would Tachiboshi-san come here at this time, let alone bring young Sakura with him! Did you use a new trick this time?!"
Looking at Rin Tosaka, who was twisting her thigh and looking solemn, the corners of Sakura's mouth turned up.
Well, it does seem to be fun.
…
Port office.
A new round of fighting has begun.
In fact, just a minute ago, Achilles and Atalanta thought they could try to join forces, and even almost injured Gilgamesh at one point, but now they were shot by the Noble Phantasm and fled in embarrassment.
Only then did they realize that Gilgamesh might have been distracted for some unknown reason just now, perhaps because of something the Master had done, or perhaps because of the co-operation of other Black Heroic Spirits.
But now they only have one idea.
This hero king is so unreasonable!
They master the prototypes of all heroic Noble Phantasms and can use them. Although they will not use the maximum effect of that Noble Phantasm, there are too many of them, and they can always find something to restrain them.
As a servant, this guy is so powerful that it is unreasonable. If you don't formulate effective tactics or have enough manpower to cooperate, it will be difficult to even rush to him.
"There are a lot of spectators around... Although it is embarrassing, we have to hope that someone will come out to break the deadlock." Achilles dodged while murmuring: "Just bring an opportunity!"
None of the three Arturia people who stood side by side on the roof of a tall building in the distance had the will to take action.
But behind another huge container, there was a master who was ready to make a move. Being so close to the battlefield, she didn't feel any pressure.
Bazett Fraga Macramis was born in an ancient magic family. He carries a special counterattack Noble Phantasm, possesses physical and magical abilities far beyond ordinary levels, and can fight heroic spirits. He is the designated executor of the strongest seal in the contemporary era. One of the people!
She is the undisputed strongest Master on the Clock Tower side this time, including Marisbili.
He was wearing a suit, with short and simple hair, but his expression was a little anxious at the moment, and he kept looking at the battle situation in the distance.
"Isn't it time to take action? Senior Cu Chulainn, I promised Lord Marisbelly to take action, and our Black side has already lost one heroic spirit. If there is any more damage in this battle, the Holy Grail War will be over. I’m going to lose!”
Wearing blue light armor, Cu Chulainn pressed the spear on his shoulder and leaned against the wall. He sighed softly: "Bazett, you are not the only one summoned by that monarch, right? Why don't the others take action? ? Just be patient, I have a feeling that someone is watching me."
The relationship between the two is very special, because Bazett himself is a descendant of the Red Branch Warriors from Cu Chulainn, and Cu Chulainn, who was summoned through the family earrings, is his respected elder.
And if it weren't for this relationship, Cu Chulainn would have wanted to hit him in the head with a gun.
"Someone is staring at us?" Bazett's expression tightened upon hearing this, and he looked around: "Where? I... didn't notice it at all."
"I just have a feeling." Cu Chulainn shook his head and said: "Either it is a misjudgment, or it means...the guy staring at us is not simple, and he will not be a heroic spirit that can sense each other with me. Be careful. Well, Bazett, there are still several red masters who haven’t shown up yet.”
"Oh ah!"
"Feeling?" On the other side, Aozaki Chengzi sighed helplessly: "Even if it is done secretly, will it be noticed for such an outrageous reason? Heroic spirits are indeed not simple."
She looked back at Diarmuid behind her, thought for a moment and said, "I remember... the legendary Irish hero Cu Chulainn, the Son of Light, is your idol? Is this true? Diarmuid."
Diarmuid solemnly said: "Yes, he is a respectable senior."
"That's it..." Aozaki Chengzi said: "Then you go and say hello."
Diarmuid was startled and shook his head: "No. Your wish is my wish. Since Master you are not interested in participating in the Holy Grail War, I will not cause any extra trouble for you."
"I'm asking you to say hello, but I'm not asking you to start a war with him directly." Aozaki Orange said nonchalantly: "Besides, now... I have slightly changed my mind."
"……change idea?"
"Ah, this morning, I happened to see something... very interesting."
…
Back to early this morning.
Atram Gariasta is preparing to summon the heroic spirit on the outskirts of Fuyuki City.
He is a handsome man with long blond hair and brown skin, with a noble temperament. He is the son of the Arab oil king and a well-known magician in the Clock Tower. He is good at opening roads with money, but he has lost his right to participate in this Holy Grail War. Deflated.
The Clock Tower did not give him a single spot, and he, who had always been regarded as an unorthodox and rich man, was mercilessly ignored, so he could only come to Fuyuki City unwillingly with the holy relics he bought for a large sum of money.
As a result, there was a turning point in the Holy Grail War.
Similar to Weber's situation, he was also chosen as the Red Master by the Holy Grail. After a night of gathering information, he happily launched the summons of the heroic spirit at this moment.
He was using the 'Golden Fleece', and what he wanted to summon was Medea, and he was very much looking forward to riding the fire dragon that guarded the Golden Fleece. Only such a mount would be enough to attract attention... But everything only ended with the completion of the Heroic Spirit Summoning. moment.
Looking at the witch Medea slowly emerging from the summoning magic circle, he felt a sharp pain coming at him without any precautions.
The arm with the command spell engraved on it was suddenly blown off, as if a large-caliber sniper rifle had accurately hit the side of the shoulder socket. Perhaps the only good thing was that the pain went away as quickly as it came.
The next moment, he was beaten into a sieve by dense bullets from all directions and took away his life.
At some point, a group of men in camouflage uniforms broke through his magic barrier and walked nearby with assault rifles. The leader was an indifferent and dignified young man.
The witch Medea, who lost her master just after being summoned and felt that she was about to disappear, frowned at the people in front of her and listened to the young man introducing himself: "Dear Princess Colchis, my name is Faldius , is a magician affiliated with an American state agency.
It's a bit of a waste to be your master with this kind of trash. If you don't mind, please sign a contract with me, Red Caster. "
…
"Isn't it Black's Caster, but a powerful magician whose identity is unknown?"
Time returned to the present, in a secret base, Faldius listened to Medea who retreated to his side, nodded slightly and said: "Sure enough, the Clock Tower still hides some magicians who are enough to fight the heroic spirits, not at all. Action?
Well, although I failed to get rid of the Master of the King of Heroes as I wished, it is enough to verify this point. Thank you for your hard work, Caster. "
Medea disappeared.
Faldius gently knocked on the table before standing up, and pondered for a while. Is it really the clock tower that will protect Tohsaka Rin?
Shaoqing, he shook his head, called one of his subordinates, and handed him a list of names.
"Tohsaka Rin puts it aside for now and thinks of ways to assassinate the masters on the list."
His goal is simple, to temporarily maintain a balance between the fighting power of the red and black sides, waiting for a certain opportunity to come. The King of Heroes is too strong, and the overall strength of the red side seems to be much greater than that of the black side. This trend is somewhat unfavorable.
And compared to Heroic Spirits, Masters are of course easier to kill. I saw a name written on the first line of the list that the subordinate took out.
Hayakawa Tatehoshi!
And an important note at the back - no need to use firearms, construct a magic killing scene.
…
KaiYue Hotel.
"Is there finally any action?"
Marisbili, who watched the entire battle between the Tosaka family, looked grim, and found traces of the only enemy he cared about in this Holy Grail War.
Only King Solomon, who summoned the Black Caster, knew that the one who attacked the Red Master Tohsaka Rin just now could only be the Red Caster.
And there is such an abnormal behavior, naturally it can only mean that there is another shady secret.
Since Tong Yuan's attack on the Clock Tower ten years ago, some rude guys thought they had seen through the details of the Clock Tower, and had the whimsical idea of taking the Clock Tower under their control.
Over the years, there have been overt and covert conflicts, and the Holy Grail in Fuyuki City has unknowingly become the focus. The real battlefield of this Holy Grail War is actually far outside Fuyuki City!
What he is responsible for is to win Fuyuki's Holy Grail War and shatter some guys' unrealistic illusions.
"The reason why you attacked Tokiomi Tokiomi's daughter was probably... because you thought you were maintaining a balance?"
Marisbili was disdainful, but... "Who is the water magician who took action? Why is there no impression of a guy of such caliber..."
At the same time, Weber and Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been spying on the Tohsaka family, were also lost in thought.
Unusual things come from unusual people, and they have subtle perceptions.
I'll fly home tomorrow morning.
