best villain

(Please, please, please! In the next chapter, the protagonist will usher in a long-lost leap in strength)

Bursts of tingling pain came from the back of her hand, which brought back Erte Luqi's not so clear consciousness.Although there was darkness in the field of vision, it was only because the lights were not turned on. Compared with these unimportant things, she found that part of her magic power had flowed away, and it seemed to be flowing somewhere through the invisible thread created by the command spell .

"The situation is not optimistic...?"

Acting according to the order will encounter obstacles, which Altruchi has long understood.She wasn't surprised by Berserker and Assassin's release of the Noble Phantasm, no matter what, the other party was not a fuel-efficient lamp.

At least one or two followers will follow.

So who could it be? Lancer's words are difficult, but the other servants are not the enemy of Assassin.Coupled with Berserker's assistance, even one-on-one, Lancer could not easily deal with it.

Soon, assassin came back.

"berserker is dead."

He spoke bluntly as soon as he opened his mouth.

Sitting on the luxurious double bed hugging the quilt in a daze, Erte Luqi suddenly became ill.

"Don't tell me, are all four servants here?"

She refers to enemies that are not part of one's own faction.

"That's not true. Strictly speaking, the opponent only has Lancer as a follower."

"so what?"

"According to the original plan, the berserker was in charge of containment. And I took the opportunity to sabotage their plan. But..."

"but?"

"A mysterious heroic spirit appeared. Personally, in my opinion, that is not a follower of this Holy Grail War. Because from her, I can't find any other professional characteristics that have nothing to do with the status of Saber, and Saber is already a Our camp, so it should be the Magic Association's hole card specially designed to fight against you.

Hearing this, Eltrucci frowned in boredom, the Magic Association and the Magic Association, although they were no different from those Holy Churches that shouted every day to kill the dead, they almost always took action.It will cause her a lot of trouble.

But then again.A Heroic Spirit who does not belong to the Holy Grail War was dispatched from the Clock Tower, the headquarters of the Magic Association.She had heard some information about this heroic spirit.

It seems that the winner of the last Holy Grail War gave up the Holy Grail in exchange for a heroic spirit who would never betray.That Heroic Spirit was also one of the servants of the last Holy Grail War, and his occupation seems to be...saber.

Say so.

"Could it be that the clock tower sent that man over?"

Eltruchi's muttering reached Assassin's ears.

"That man?"

as a party. Assassin's words were not abrupt.

Eltruchi also felt the need to let him know.

"Yes. That man was just an ordinary apprentice. Somehow later, he not only made up for the congenital defect of weak blood, but also cracked the command spell system. He brought this achievement back to the Clock Tower and went straight to the sky. Afterwards All kinds of Holy Grail Wars in the world can be said to be derived from his research results. The heroic spirit you are talking about is probably his follower, the Saber of the last Holy Grail War."

"In this way, the opponent's combat power has been restored."

Assassin sighed softly.

"Recovered again? Why do you say that?"

Eltruchi keenly grasped the important message of this passage.

"Although Berserker sacrificed unfortunately, he released the treasure before he died and severely injured Lancer. He was pierced through the heart by the cursed spear of the Kuran bulldog. Because Lancer's armor resisted part of the damage, he would not die for a while, but in the usual way. It cannot be cured, so it is only a matter of time before returning to the Hall of Valor."

What is fortune and misfortune?This is called blessing and misfortune.

I thought that Berserker was besieged to death, but I didn't expect that he could die with the strongest combat power of the opponent before he died. This is undoubtedly a surprise.

Berserker's real name is Cu Chulainn, a demigod hero in Celtic mythology. His achievements and popularity in his life are equivalent to Hercules in Greek mythology.Martial arts, Noble Phantasms, stats, if the Holy Grail War is held in Ireland, then Cu Chulainn will undoubtedly be an exceptional existence.

Even if it is placed in Fuyuki City, it loses the bonus of popularity.

But with the increase in the numerical value of [Frenzy], coupled with his own martial arts and the magic spear that can kill with one hit, he is a powerful enemy that cannot be underestimated by anyone.

Even so, it seems that they are still losing the battle.

"Describe the situation carefully."

Seeing Eltruchi as if thinking of something, Assassin pondered for a while, and said everything he 'saw'.

"Well, surpassing Berserker's spear skills...golden armor...God-made weapon armor...It is unrealistic to think that Berserker will be able to cause fatal damage before the Noble Phantasm is released. The A-level battle continues Is the skill out of order? The opponent should not have the causal type of 'stab and die' skills, just relying on the release of magic power and ordinary moves can kill Berserker with one blow...." Elte Luqi said to herself Talking to himself, the voice is getting smaller and smaller, but the eyes are getting brighter.

"So that's the case, I said why it is so familiar."

Eltruchi sneered, obviously thinking of the answer.

"Have you deduced Lancer's identity?"

"In the great long narrative poem of ancient India "Mahabharata", the immortal hero born of the sun god Surya and the mortal woman Kunti. As a proof of Surya's son, he was given the golden armor that brought immortality, and then Because he was deprived of the golden armor, Indra gave him enough to kill the gods again. The gun against the gods composed of thunder. The last time it was a lancer, this time it is a lancer. The holy relic of Karna must have something to do with that man relationship, otherwise it would not be such a coincidence that such an out-of-the-box Heroic Spirit appeared twice in a row. But aside from this point, I can slightly understand why he can ignore Berserker's ability to continue the battle and kill him. Whether it is Karna It’s still Cu Chulainn, they are both the sons of the sun god in different mythology, probably because of the damage bonus of divinity. Cu Chulainn’s divinity is b, so Karna should be a. Otherwise, this phenomenon cannot be explained.”

Said a lot eloquently.

Eltruchi's expression was very flat, as if she didn't like to mention this matter.

"Forget it. Both of them are dead anyway. No matter how you speculate, the information you get will be useless."

She yawned.

"What is the master going to do next?"

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Our side has lost a berserker, and the enemy has lost a lancer. But at the same time, the opponent has added a combat force no less than a lancer. This is very unfavorable to our side. What if they take advantage of this to attack aggressively. Wouldn't it be bad? "

"It doesn't matter. Let them come. Oh, by the way, I'll leave it to you to plan the tactics." Elte Lucy's expression suddenly changed.What he said was surprising. <───! (Declaring that the command spell follows the law of the Holy Grail and adding the commandment to this person and my servant). "Eltluchi closed her eyes, rolled up her cuffs, her white forearm covered with command spells appeared in front of Assassin, and she muttered: "Assassin, I ordered the task of tactical planning...that's exactly what I said. .. First of all, help me find a way to deal with those half-assed masters who are trying to overestimate their capabilities. "

Just like that, there was one less Command Seal on his arm.

However, compared to the total of nine pieces, this consumption is not worth mentioning.

"I trust your mind, Mr. Dead Sword."

Alte Luci gave full play to the advantages of loli's appearance, and her immature voice reveals a magic that cannot be ignored.

But compared to these lolicon elements that he doesn't have, assassin is more concerned about when will his real name be exposed?

suddenly--

"Did you... have a dream just now?"

he asked tentatively.

"Who knows."

Eltruchi turned over, wrapped herself in the blanket and continued to sleep.

Assassin stood by the bed for a while, shook his head slightly and said:

"As ordered."

he is not responsible for what happens

There was a dead silence in the reception room.Matou Sakura didn't expect that a major event would happen after she left with the rider for a while. She was going to tell everyone the good news like 'you don't have to worry about daily necessities for a short time', but because of the atmosphere, she couldn't say it out, and she seemed cramped disturbed.

"Teacher... Is there really no way to treat it?"

Finally, Matou Shinji opened his mouth to break the calm and terrifying atmosphere.

But his expression was more terrifying than the atmosphere, it was extremely gloomy.

"Being pierced through the heart by the magic spear of the Kuran bulldog is a fatal injury to the magician and the heroic spirit. What's more, there is also the curse of 'death through the heart' from the death thorn spear , if it’s okay to talk about other parts, it’s the heart..." Ling Yi did not continue, but the meaning revealed in his words was clear to everyone present.

An hour and a half had passed since the battle ended, and it was now ten fifteen at night.

Kotomine Kirei still didn't know where he went as before. After hearing about Karna, the caster silently took the batch of magic materials back to the magic workshop and continued to work hard.

As for everyone else present.

"About the curse, there are generally two ways to get rid of it. The first is to pass on the curse, and the second is to destroy the source of the curse. Other than that, they are heresy, and there is no good treatment method that can be found in a short time." Ling Yi Clenching his chin, he murmured.

"But the berserker is dead, and the gun of the dead thorn has disappeared. The second method is definitely not possible, so..." Tohsaka Rin hugged his arms.Said thoughtfully.

"——the only way is to pass on the curse." Matou Shinji followed suit.But his complexion still didn't improve.

Curses have always been an extremely difficult type of magic to deal with.Even when it comes to 'passing on' it is not so easy.

"No, I have another way, but..." Tohsaka Rin said hesitantly.

"What method?" Matou Shinji asked urgently like a drowning man grasping at the last straw.He who had almost lost his talent in magic, but because he wanted to participate in the Holy Grail War, he finally gained his own power, and even got one of the most powerful servants.However, the more this happened, the more Shinji Matou wanted to repay the teacher who gave him this opportunity.Anyway.Take back the Holy Grail! ——This has become his obsession.

But. Lancer and Karna's serious injuries made him unacceptable.What the hell is going on, the real drama is about to start, but I just ordered the enemy to be restrained for a while, and my life was exchanged for injury.And it was still a serious injury that could not be healed.According to the teacher.Going on like this is only a matter of time before returning to the Hall of Valor.

Losing a Servant means losing the possibility of taking back the Holy Grail.

Not even eligible to participate.

Silently watching deadly battles would be one of the things he had to stay away from.

Are you kidding, is this the end of it?

No matter who it is, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will not give up.Even if Tohsaka Rin deliberately tricked him, he had to settle the score afterwards.

"This..." Tohsaka Rin took out a pendant inlaid with rubies from the neckline, hesitated for a while and said: "This is my father's relic, and I have never seen better than this in terms of quality. It stores my The magic power of the past ten years may be useful with this treatment."

It can be seen that she is not very willing to take out this pendant.

"Tohsaka...you..."

Matou Shinji was stunned.

"Don't get me wrong. Lancer is an important force of our side, and I still have an overall view of this."

Rin Tohsaka said unhappily.

As for whether it is arrogant or not, let's not discuss it first.

Anyway-

"No."

Ling Yi flatly refused.

"It is theoretically possible, but this magic power is not enough to cure the curse."

"...this..magic power..."

Rin Tohsaka's mouth twitched.

"I'm not talking big. Regarding Lancer's mana consumption, Shen Er has the most authority to speak."

"...Teacher is right." Shinji Matou lowered his shoulders and said dejectedly.

"Then what can you do?" Tohsaka Rin could only put away the pendant and asked with raised eyebrows.

"Of course there is a way, which is the transfer I just mentioned."

"so...."

"Don't rush to refute. I am very aware of the difficulty here, because the cursed damage caused by the treasure cannot be peeled off by conventional methods. So, how about we think about it from another angle? Since the damage cannot be peeled off, then the wounded heart itself Just remove it." Ling Yi said casually.

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

It's like everyone is silenced, the difference is that everyone's face has the same expression of 'Are you crazy? ' or 'Do you know what you're talking about' or something like that.It's fine if you don't accept it, it's too hurtful.

But Ling Yi didn't think there was anything wrong, he had already expected everyone's reaction.

He picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip.

Although it is not the black coffee you are used to, the Japanese rough tea also has a unique flavor.

After half a sound.

Rin Tohsaka held his forehead, speechless.

Matou Shinji was stunned.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Matou Sakura said weakly: "Well, why are you silent?"

Illya patted her head as soon as she spoke.

"Ugh..."

"Because we were all shocked!"

"Don't hit people casually if you are shocked!"

"Because you are too uncooperative."

"..."

In short, ignore these sabotage conversations for now.

"Hey, I won't ask other questions, although I admit that your method is indeed subtle and irrefutable. But why do you think that the 'heroic spirit lost its heart' can continue to live?"

Facing Rin Tohsaka's helpless reaction as if he had heard an outrageous proposal, Ling Yi glanced at her and said lightly, "Are you an idiot?"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Before Rin Tosaka punched him, Ling Yi continued:

"For Heroic Spirits, the heart and the head are fatal parts - of course I know this common sense, but when did you have the illusion of 'remove the heart and it's over', speaking of the above, I don't think so. Since it is the transfer of the curse, there are naturally relative alternatives. Isn’t there something popular in modern medicine, organ transplant surgery? If an internal organ is broken, just remove it and replace it with a good one.”

"Well, how do you plan to find a substitute?"

Tohsaka Rin's tone was full of distrust.

"Ordinary hearts definitely won't work. Heroic spirits themselves are 'spiritual bodies with flesh bodies' created by the fifth element and magic power, which is why they can remove the spirit body and appear in front of the public like normal humans. So, either Use the hearts of other heroic spirits as a substitute, or find a 'heart' that can replace the heart's function."

"It seems to make sense." Tohsaka Rin pondered for a while secretly, and had to admit that it was feasible.

"But there's still the question—where's the replacement?"

Not only Tohsaka Rin wanted to know this question, but Matou Shinji and others also wanted to know.

For a moment, all eyes were on Ling Yi.

As the person involved, Ling Yi was very calm, and even had time to drink tea.

After he put down the teacup, he poked his chest with his thumb, and finally spoke.

"—the replacement is here."

Ling Yi sat cross-legged on the ground, his eyes closed naturally.

The breathing is natural and gentle, and it seems to have a unique charm.

The whole person looked as if he had fallen asleep, his expression was serene, as quiet as a virgin.

The clothes he is wearing now is a pure white robe that symbolizes purity and purity. It is the robe that Ling Yi specially prepared for the big ceremony a few years ago.

The texture itself is excellent, and its compatibility with magic power has reached the level of high-level spells, and it has been baptized with holy water, purified with various gemstones, and blessed with spells.

It can be said that this magic robe alone is enough to make Ling Yi a famous magician in the magic world.But unfortunately, no one understands this.

Relying on this special spell, combined with fifteen kinds of meditation techniques, Ling Yi has already entered the realm of meditation at the soul level.

Think nothing of it.

Can't feel anything.

don't know anything.

Everything has nothing to do with him.

The recognition of the outside world by the six senses has become blurred to an extreme.

In other words, with the addition of the five senses of intuition, it is no longer able to respond to changes in the outside world, let alone transmit the obtained external information to the brain through the nerves.

In his current state, Ling Yi could undoubtedly be described as a living dead.

Although there are signs of life, they have no ability to think and act.

Transplanting Karna's heart - this was what he had planned not long ago, because he couldn't find a replacement in a short time, but only his heart was similar in nature to a heroic spirit.However, it would be a big mistake to think that this was an attack of his conscience, sacrificing himself for no reason.

This time, his ambition is more crazy and outrageous than anyone imagined. (To be continued..)
