gaze of war

The red spear named GaeDearg once had a great reputation.

As the god of love and youth, and the adopted son of Angus, the strongest magician, Diarmuid is naturally entitled to a treasure stronger than anyone else.Angus made such a magic tool and gave it to him as a gift.

If this Celtic name is translated directly, it should be a simple and straightforward description like "Red Spear".

This red spear has the effect of piercing through all magical protection.The body of the gun is covered with runes and magic patterns that Angus carefully engraved for his adopted son - "Holy Purple Shirt", "Bondage", "Gift", "Birch Tree of Abundance", and "Army God of Victory".

With this magical gun with an unusually simple name, Diarmuid is almost invincible on the battlefield.

——As long as it is an enemy standing in front of him, he can kill all enemies——

It can penetrate Saber's barrier, and it can also penetrate her armor. As long as it is an obstacle formed by magic power, it will be broken wherever the tip of this spear goes——

And such a powerful treasure was held so simply by one hand that it couldn't even be pulled out.

... No, for Diarmuid at this time, such things as "the weapon that must win is held by someone" can no longer attract his attention at all.

He stood there, staring at the figure slowly emerging from the void, all sound lost.

Shocked golden eyes met cold black eyes.

A barefoot girl in a long black uniform stood in front of Kotomine Kirei—holding the tip of Diarmuid's spear in her right hand.

"... Mo... Regan?"

His throat was so dry that it hurt so badly that Diarmuid called out the girl's name in a hoarse voice.

Morrigan said nothing.

When there was no response, Diarmuid pursed his lips.After looking at Morrigan for a while, as if he couldn't bear the pressure of her cold gaze, he slightly shifted his gaze away in a little panic.

Then, the focus of his eyes fell on the tip of the spear that Morrigan was holding tightly.

stiff.

Diarmuid suddenly noticed something, and suddenly turned his gaze back, staring at Morrigan, whose expression was as calm as a deep pool.

She was standing in front of the man like a god, blocking the spear attacking him with her own hand.

And the man dressed as a clergyman was staring at the goddess standing in front of him with reverent eyes.

...you are hostile to me?

Are you... against me, Morrigan?

The man I'm taking revenge on - you're going to protect him... Morrigan?

Diarmuid's hands trembled slightly.

The shock was transmitted to the red spear held tightly by him without any omission.

Morrigan still didn't say a word—not even moved his eyes.

Her gaze focused on Diarmuid's face calmly and coldly, watching him go from astonishment to disbelief, from panic to anger, and finally to pain.

Diarmuid let go of his hand.

He took a step back, then another step, swayed as if he couldn't even stand still, lowered his head, and covered his chest.

Morrigan was still watching him.

No expression, no movement, like a statue carved out of stone, maintaining that movement, staring at the spearmen not far away.

Then, she slowly moved the corners of her lips, revealing a very shallow smile.

"...Kirei."

The hoarse voice, like scratching glass, awakened everyone who stood there in a daze.

Everyone—even the Heroic Spirits stared at the girl who suddenly appeared in an unusual way with strangely astonished eyes.

Is it Kotomine Kirei's defender who can easily block Lancer's attack with one hand and make Lancer retreat voluntarily...?

It was not Kotomine Kirei who spoke out first, but Weber not far away.He was staring at the girl in surprise, and shouted out his doubts without hesitation: "...you are not a follower. You are definitely not a magician...you, who are you?"

Because he focused on Morrigan for a while but couldn't find any information about her, Weber immediately discovered the fact that this girl is not a human being, nor is she a heroic spirit participating in the Holy Grail War.

Apart from the endlessly divided and almost imperceptible assassin heroic spirit, does Kotomine Kirei still have such a trump card!

Morrigan ignored him.

She didn't even cast a glance at Weber, she just let go of the red gun and let it fall to the ground, covered in dust.

Then, she turned her head and called again: "Kirei?"

"I am here, Your Highness."

Kotomine Kirei bent slightly.

"You're so carried away," Morrigan said quietly. "Or do you think I'd be more satisfied if you, a believer, were the first to be sacrificed to this war?"

Kotomine Kirei immediately apologized candidly.

"...I'm sorry, Your Highness."

"I don't like this kind of battle." Morrigan said disappointedly. "No matter how much blood there is, it's just some low-grade stuff. The smell is so bad that I can't bear it... Most importantly, you have always What is attacking is not dead."

She stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction of the caster workshop.

"Kill—only in this way can you save your own life. With the power of that magic book, something huge and terrifying is about to come out."

"...Remember, Kirei, I promise you victory."

Kotomine Kirei suddenly raised his head, looking at her frantically.

He didn't even seem to know how to let go of his hands and feet. The hand that was originally pressed on his chest to show his wholehearted loyalty clenched and then released it, moved it away and pulled it back, making his whole body show a clumsy panic.

But he quickly forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and flashed a warm smile.

"...I see, Your Highness."

At this moment, all the magicians and heroic spirits present felt the huge magic power coming from the direction of Morrigan's finger—distorted, evil, weird, all the negative words in the world can be used to describe this It feels like magic.With a huge explosion that almost tore through the sky, an unheard of huge monster emerged from the ground.

It looks very much like an octopus, with a huge head and countless tentacles, and it is as tall as a dozen floors.Each tentacle has a form that everyone here is extremely familiar with—that is the monster they fought with just now.

After such a long battle, all they killed were these insignificant tentacles?For magicians and heroic spirits, this is by no means good news.

Moreover, with such a gigantic form, this monster will never be able to hide from the eyes of ordinary citizens of Fuyuki City...

Compared with the outcome of the battle, it seems that the latter is the key to the survival of magicians.

"Kraken..."

Staring in shock at the gigantic claw above his head, rider murmured the monster's real name.

Kraken is a huge sea monster lurking in the deep sea in Norse legends. Its huge body and powerful tentacles can easily drag any ship into the bottom of the sea.

And the one in front of him has obviously undergone some mutations after being summoned by the caster's magic book. The evil magic power around its body and the sharp teeth and mouth opening and closing on the surface of the tentacles are all declaring its danger.

If it is a summoned object, then such a huge monster must need corresponding magic support.And the attributes of the caster itself are not very good. As a caster, his magic power is only C-level, and he cannot use almost any large-scale magic. The actions of this monster?

--Could it be that!

Regardless of interrogating the mysterious woman who appeared suddenly, rider immediately shouted to everyone here: "No one can afford the magic power that supports this monster, and it will definitely dry up soon, but before that, you must use a powerful treasure It will be destroyed with one blow! When it starts to devour human beings, no one can stop it!"

The situation is urgent, and others can't care about anything.

One of Rider and Saber was driving a chariot, the other was running on foot, and rushed towards the huge monster together.As the strongest knight class, as long as Saber has a powerful enough Noble Phantasm, she will definitely be able to completely kill this sea monster before it gets close to humans.

However, the current situation is——

A tentacle with a radius of more than half a meter slammed into the water not far from them. The red blood and the floating limbs and broken arms were all blown up, almost drenching several people's heads and faces.

The rest were - Kotomine Kirei who was standing beside Morrigan, Kariya Matou who was sitting on the ground in a daze of consciousness, and Weber who looked wary and kept away from everyone.

Since these people are too close to the battlefield over there, their personal safety is under great threat, so the top priority is to stay away from the battlefield immediately.

But... the relationship between several people is too complicated.Although the church said that they must put aside all competition and deal with the caster together when they convened the participants, how could it be so simple?There are many unscrupulous people in this war.

The act of fleeing with people who don't know the enemy or friend is itself quite stupid.

Especially Weber, because of the previous sudden shocks, he was already in a state of extreme distrust of Kotomine Kirei, and felt that he might use the assassin to launch a surprise attack on Matou Kariya and himself at any time.

Kotomine Kirei noticed his resistance.

In any case, this gigantic sea monster was not planned, and it was absolutely impossible for one or two people to destroy such a behemoth. In any case, the assistance of other groups was needed.Those plans for the participants are not suitable for implementation until it is eliminated.

After a brief discussion, several people made an agreement.Before the caster group is completely wiped out, there will be no more hostile actions against each other. This agreement will be discarded immediately after the sea monster is wiped out.

After signing the temporary magic contract, Weber finally stopped resisting so much.

He still kept a little awkward distance from these people, always looking at Morrigan with questioning eyes, then at Lancer, and finally at Kotomine Kirei warily.

Kotomine Kirei smiled at him.

Weber was startled immediately, his whole body shook violently, and he reflexively crossed his hands in front of his chest in a defensive posture.

"...Puff haha."

It was Morrigan who laughed.

The young man who hadn't paid attention to it inadvertently shook Kotomine Kirei severely, making him stunned for a rare moment.This makes the goddess who has been paying attention to this side feel very funny.She laughed at her believer unabashedly, until his face sank, he turned his face away, as he said to the rider just now, supported Matou Kariya and Weber to move away quickly in the opposite direction.

Morrigan's eyes returned to the man in front of him who was holding the yellow short gun motionless.

And the red spear she discarded was still lying in the dust, soundless.

"Aren't you going to fight, Heroic Spirit Lancer?"

Hearing the hoarse voice, Diarmuid's fingers holding the yellow gun twitched slightly.

Don't call Diarmuid anymore, just call him lancer... huh?

Diarmuid already understood.

...This is Morrigan's most straightforward rejection of Diarmuid.

The author has something to say: It's 11 o'clock when I get home from get off work in the evening.

I was very pleasantly surprised to receive mine from Qingmang, so, and lovelove today!Really super surprise!And the messages you sent me yesterday made me fully feel the resentment called love!

PS, I think this chapter has some sluggishness and the writing is not smooth, (it may also be the reason for being too sleepy...) If there is any bug, please help me point it out, thank you~!

kraken: North Sea giant monster.It is a huge sea monster in Nordic mythology (it is recorded that it is 150 meters long), usually lying on the bottom of the sea, and occasionally floating on the surface.This is the one who ate Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean.I don't know if such monsters are common among the mythological systems, so I carefully choose the rider to point out the name of the sea monster.
