Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

save.

What is salvation?

In the past, if someone asked Shiro Amakusa this question, he would happily smile and tell the other person about the utopian world that existed in his imagination and realized the miracle of the third method.

But forget it for now.

He no longer has that kind of mood, or he no longer has any emotions. Instead of verbal descriptions, he will only use actions to prove it.

【Redemption of Humanity]

When the Holy Grail arrived, both Xia Yuan and Emiya Kiritsugu rushed towards the golden cup on the platform.

But with Xia Yuan inheriting part of the strength and ability of the two Servants, he easily pinned Emiya Kiritsugu to the ground, and then flames and black lightning condensed on his fists, and he mercilessly bombarded the Holy Grail. And go.

Speaking of which, this is only a short three seconds, but for a Servant, even for a pseudo-servant like him, these three seconds are enough for him to do a lot of things.

This included breaking Emiya Kiritsugu's spine with his right hand in the first second, and then using his left fist to gather magic power to directly bombard the Holy Grail!

Boom - a deafening sound resounded in the ears.

The terrifying magic power exploded on the surface of the Holy Grail through Xia Yuan's just punch.

"No!!!"

Falling into despair, Emiya Kiritsugu stared at the rising smoke with astonishment.

In his eyes, Xia Yuan's punch just now destroyed not the Holy Grail, but everything he owned, destroying What's more, all the efforts he has made so far and his dreams are really like this?

Smoke and dust were everywhere, and the terrifying magic exploded at the Holy Grail, and the explosion caused the entire underground chamber to shake.

"This is……"

But only Xia Yuan could see the scene reflected in the center of the dust clearly.

"buzz buzz——"

Just when Emiya Kiritsugu had lost all hope, a subtle and strange sound began to sound in the area.

That strange sound was not the shattering sound that the Holy Grail should have, or even the sound that should occur in nature, but the tinnitus that accompanies the body's inability to withstand the high-intensity pressure.

My nose, eye sockets, and eardrums were all bleeding, and my whole body was shaking.

"Sure enough, it's not that simple.……"

Xia Yuan, who faced this coercion at close range, frowned. Suddenly something invisible pressed heavily on his body. This pressure caused his body to drop several centimeters at the same moment, and his feet were also affected by this pressure. The inexplicable pressure hit the ground, and the movement slowed down a lot.

"Although I have been mentally prepared, Amakusa Shiro, your appearance now is really hard for me to describe.……"

Sure enough, the real test is often reached at the last step.

Xia Yuan clicked his tongue and did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly adjusted his body shape and retreated quickly, putting as much distance as possible between his body and the pure white monster that descended here.

"What exactly is this?"

Like Xia Yuan, Emiya Kiritsugu's body also suffered from this inexplicable pressure and was pressed heavily to the ground. He looked at the white light and shadow suspended in the air in disbelief.

"buzz buzz——"

The incomprehensible vibration was like a chant with a unique frequency. The dazzling light fell from mid-air and shone on the skin of the two people, illuminating the faces of Emiya Kiritsugu and Nia Yuan. The two were momentarily lost in thought. What followed was a strong sense of discomfort, and they could clearly sense that their souls were being pulled by that strange force and forced to undergo transformation.

"Hum, do you want to directly transform my soul?"

Xia Yuan glanced at the huge light and shadow suspended in the air, snorted coldly, waved the black flame towards the light, and quickly retreated, quickly avoiding the range of the light.

And suspended in the air, the one accompanied by the shattered Holy Grail The young priest who came with the crack has changed from something resembling a human being to something just wearing human skin.

——Angel.

A sacred and terrifying existence.

In the eyes of the two outer magicians, Emiya Kiritsugu and Natsu Yuan, they may not understand what this word actually means.

If this is the coming of a miracle in the eyes of well-informed and devout believers, the angel——【Tentacles of the Power of God, in Christianity, the attendant of the supreme God.

Angels possess wisdom and abilities that far exceed those of humans. They will come when humans need them and convey God's instructions and wisdom to humans. But this is only when humans and the world need it. If they don't need it, then they are just a medium to bear the power of God, some kind of huge container, and they will not do anything.

In the current situation, did Amakusa Shiro use the magic power of the Holy Grail to pull down the angel sleeping in the inner sea of the star?

No, this is not right, because even if the real Great Holy Grail does have the ability to summon angels sleeping in the inner sea of stars to the present world, angels will never obey the orders of anyone other than the Lord.

They are just containers of [God's power] and will only obey God's will from beginning to end.

If it is really an angel, then it will not do anything and will only work hard to find a way to return to the inside of the planet. Therefore, there is something wrong with the current state of the angel. Rather, it is better to say that there is something very wrong with the angel itself.

Without enough time to consider this anomaly, Xia Yuan hurriedly got into the ventilation duct and quickly escaped from the angel. However, Emiya Kiritsugu, who was unable to move, stared at the sanctity that fell in front of him with wide eyes and murmured in his mouth. Talking to yourself

"This is... God……"

The white light enveloped him in an instant

……

……

Appearing in the other direction were Saber and Lancer who had stopped fighting. Both of them had people they cared about. In this city, they both had reasons to fight. This was supposed to be a knightly battle of faith, to the death. That's right until the winner is decided.

At the end of the fierce battle between the two, when they were about to use each other's most powerful Noble Phantasms to decide the winner, a scene occurred that they could not have imagined.

The ground cracked, and the cement road and asphalt road beneath the feet kept collapsing like broken biscuits. From the huge cracks and holes, huge flashes of light suddenly overflowed.

The position of the light was not far from them. The cracks on the ground continued to spread. Dazzling white light burst out from under their feet. The sense of danger that accompanied the sudden appearance of the light enveloped the hearts of the two knights.

"What on earth is this?!"

"What exactly happened below?"

With a loud shattering sound, the giant thing below finally broke out of the ground, and then quickly rose into the sky in the eyes of the two people.

Finally, the light converged into a point, and something strange like wings and tentacles gradually extended in the center.

They spread out high into the sky, with no regular shape to each other, spiraling and extending from hundreds to several feet, and the dazzling white light instantly illuminated the entire night sky of Fuyuki City.

This was an absolute miracle.

The scene was just like the arrival of an angel recorded in the Bible.

The sudden appearance of this angel was more than just a shock on the outside. The countless wings that extended also contained terrifying power. Just touching the ground. The building was torn apart as easily as tofu, and the weak buildings built by humans were thrown away one after another like toys under its actions.

If the physical impact alone was not enough to kill King Arthur and Fiona. The knight leader's face is so ugly. Putting aside his huge size and impactful appearance, is the rising torrent of magic serious?

What kind of monster is this?

The wings flap slightly. The torrent of magic power directly raised the ether concentration of the surrounding land to a higher level, and there was even a vague tendency to return to the age of gods.

Under the incredible gaze of the two people, this angel suspended in the night sky with countless light wings suddenly fell from the sky. Come down.

From their perspective, it's like the sun has fallen.

"Run!!"

Boom——!!

The city was shaken.

……

…… the other side.

After the wings of light unfolded, the angel began to drag its huge body towards the entire Fuyuki City to initiate transformation. Starting from the main body, the people or objects covered by the wings of light would be transformed by the core of the angel, which is the third method.

"……What the hell is this...an angel?"

Kenneth, who had just been dug out from the ruins of the gymnasium by Xia Yuan, opened his eyes wide, as if he had seen something incredible.

In response to his question, Xia Yuan nodded slightly.

"Damn it, what happened? How could such a being appear in this era? An existence with the personality of an angel would still be a god-level existence even if placed in the Age of Gods!!"

Kenneth, who was already embarrassed by Maiya's self-destruction attack, is now even more trembling. Feeling the increasing ether concentration around him, his eyes are even more horrifying, and even goosebumps stand up.

The third method , angels, and this power……

"This guy wants to use Fuyuki City as the starting point to connect the magic power of the entire Far East leyline, and prepares to transform the entire human race in one fell swoop!!"

"Damn it, how on earth are we going to deal with a monster of this size and magic? We actually want to kill this god who has reappeared in modern times."

Kenneth held his breath when he thought of this possibility.

The more advanced his magical attainments, the deeper his fear of the creations of the Gods. Facing advanced fantasy magicians, they would feel powerless and frightened, but now they are faced with this kind of touch. Kenneth is even more troubled by the creations in the realm of God.

"We are actually asked to face an enemy at the level of an angel... Retreat, we cannot deal with an enemy of this size.

If you want to defeat this guy, you must at least unite the power of the whole world. Contact the Holy Church and let them handle the troubles caused by their own gods."

"No, it’s too early to give up on yourself now, Mr. Kenneth"

"What's the meaning?"

Xia Yuan's words were difficult for Kenneth to understand.

"There is not enough time. This monster will not give the world time to fight back. It will begin to transform before the world can gather enough combat power to fight back. If we contact it now, there is not enough time at all."

"Of course I know this, but what else can I do now? You don’t think that we alone can really destroy the miracles of the Age of Gods, do you?"

"Okay, we still have a chance"

"What did you say?"

"Teacher Kenneth, please observe this monster carefully. Do not use your eyes, but only use your magic power to perceive this monster. Although its appearance is infinitely close to that of an angel, both in terms of composition and form of existence, this monster is very close to an angel. The essence of the monster is not a real angel at all"

"……"

Kenneth was stunned, and then he looked in the direction Xia Yuan pointed.

"you mean……"

……

……

"That's right, this white angel does not exist in any mythological books, not even a few words of record. This angel should not exist at all. It is just a monster born from the soul of the martyr Shiro Amakusa combined with the magic power in the Holy Grail. Compared with the angels who truly bear the power of God, it itself has no divinity or mission."

"The Holy Grail is just a form of realizing Shiro Amakusa's wish. Because that sad saint believed that God would redeem the world until the last moment before his death, false angels were born to complete the so-called redemption for him."

"Although the specifications are still powerful, they are not invincible, so you still have a chance of winning."

On the high building, Jishua Zelrich Shibain Ogu, who was watching everything, looked down at the angel who was connecting the earth veins with a smile on his face.

"The key to victory has been given to you, don't let me down...El-Melloi and Foreigner"

……

……

In the city.

Artoria, who was working with Finn to delay this false angel, was suddenly knocked away by countless wings of light.

"Saber! Are you okay?!"

Seeing his comrades being knocked away, Finn quickly escaped and came to Artoria's side.

"I'm fine.

Arturia reluctantly stood up and replied:"But the contract between Master and I was just interrupted. It seems that Kiritsugu is dead."……"

"Sorry Lancer, I may not be able to continue to deal with this monster disguised as an angel with you."

Artoria seems to be unable to hold on any longer.

"That's it……"

Glancing at the artificial angel who was still absorbing the magic power of the earth's veins, Finn's face looked a little ugly. At this time, although he wanted to be cool and say something like"Just leave it to me."

But facing an enemy of this size, it is impossible for him to defeat him alone. Together with Saber and the two of them, they can barely parry it. If he rushes up alone, he will be hammered by it within a few rounds. Enter the cement floor.

He has killed fallen gods and has some understanding of supreme beings like God.

But does this kind of thing actually exist in front of me? Although he has the appearance of an angel, he has no divinity or power, but the endless magic power and terrifying self-healing power that exists in his body are extremely difficult to deal with.

It seems to have no intelligence. It can only wave countless light wings and pour out endless magic power to suppress everything it touches. No matter what kind of attacks it and Saber cause to its body, it can instantly recover as before.

If one tentacle is broken, more tentacles will grow. If its body is cut open, brand new wings of light will emerge from the wound. It is endless and endless.

This guy is adapting their attacks and then evolving!

"This cannot go on."

Finn sucked his fingers and realized something was wrong.

But in this situation, he can only fight.

"Leave it to me, King Arthur, and I will have to fight it to the death."

Looking at Artoria, who had lost her magic power supply and was about to be unable to fight anymore, Finn clenched the gem spear in his hand and prepared to release the precious phantom to fight this terrifying artificial angel to the death.

"Wake up, my gun……"

"snort! Does this situation leave you helpless?"

A cold snort came, followed by several harsh sounds that broke through the air.

"Neither a god nor a human being, this kind of boring monster who is nondescript and extremely hypocritical really makes me unhappy, so I will die to apologize!"

Whoosh!"

With dazzling golden light, bursts of continuous explosions bloomed one after another on the body of the artificial angel.

A burst of golden spirits suddenly gathered on the street lamp, wearing a dazzling golden armor. The hero king Gilgamesh made a brilliant appearance again, looking at the approaching angels, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust.

Amidst the continuous explosions, the huge angel's body roared, but he walked away intact. Come out, Gilgamesh's attack did not hinder its pace

"He is really capable. He actually created such a monster. It is nondescript, but it has a power that cannot be ignored. The third method... Is that so?……"

"You are... Archer from the Tohsaka family, and you are here too? Finn looked at Gilgamesh in surprise, who had just met him as an enemy not long ago:"Are you also here to deal with angels?""

"Angel? This nondescript thing cannot be called an angel. At best, it is just a self-disciplined and ridiculous puppet."

Gilgamesh looked at the huge figure of the artificial angel, and then glanced at the weak Saber below.

"I responded to the summons this time because I felt the aura of the Holy Sword user, and wanted to compete with him in this Holy Grail War. I didn't expect to encounter such a fake. It's really unpleasant."

"The holy sword user of this world, the world-destroying thing has appeared, you are not going to leave in despair, are you?"

"You don’t need to tell me, I can still fight."

Hearing this, Artoria gritted her teeth and cheered up. She stood up with difficulty, preparing to use her last strength to attack.

"Humph, you still have some courage. Lioness, you haven’t let me down too much.

However, this time the enemy is indeed not something that you false kings can deal with. Let me personally deal with such false gods!"

"King of Heroes, your words mean that you are also here to stop the angels, right? Then we can be considered temporary comrades-in-arms."

Finn stood up and confirmed Gilgamesh's position.

"Comrade?"

Hearing this, Gilgamesh's brows jumped wildly, and a hint of anger appeared on his face.

"Huh, us? Who are you and us?"

"Don't be too proud���It’s shaped! Miscellaneous repair!! There is only one person in the past and future who can be called my comrade-in-arms! How can you compare with him! If it weren't for the current situation, I would have cut you into pieces long ago!"

"There is no need to be so excited King of Heroes. If what I just said offended you, I would like to apologize to you.

However, please correct your attitude, the current situation is not the time for us to waste each other's energy and magic!"

"I agree with Lancer's suggestion on this point."

Looking at the two blond knights standing together below, Gilgamesh fell silent.

"……"

"Don't be too happy too early. Your rudeness and transgression will be dealt with by me afterwards. Just play your part now!"

"Great, it looks like everyone is here."

At this moment, another voice came from not far away. Xia Yuan, who jumped down from a high place with Kenneth on his back, greeted the three Servants gathered here politely.

"Saber, Lancer, it's great to see you here again. Of course, there is also this powerful... Archer."Seeing Gilgamesh present at the same time, Xia Yuan couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, we finally meet, Foreigner……"

Gilgamesh glanced at him.
