Chapter 31 The Trace of the Witch(1/2)
Astraea?
The face of Ruler in front of me 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 world.
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 on weekdays, she didn't want Luvia to be harmed by the King of Heroes as well.
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 gently lifted it with her right hand, and while the endless starlight was shining, a small golden scale was held in the palm of 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 Tohsaka 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 spirits cannot harm 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 due to this, 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 Tosaka family.
"If you have no objection to my ruling for the time being, please follow me to the dock and continue this unfinished battle. Of course, when you get there, you can decide for yourself whether to fight or flee."
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 they would follow. The King of Heroes is probably the most troublesome guy on the Red side in this Holy Grail War.
Have 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 Shanxian glanced around lightly and said, "Lead the way, Ruler."
The battlefield begins to shift.
…
In Weber's Magic Base.
Through simple clairvoyance magic, people saw everything in the crystal ball.
The Conqueror King gently rubbed his chin: "It seems that the Ruler summoned in this Holy Grail War is a reliable guy, dock? Does anyone want to follow me to see it?"
Arturia looked at Ji Xing, who nodded to her. Seeing this, Mordred hesitated and said: "Hey, Arthur, let's talk first. I have already told the black heroes not to
You have intervened in the battle between us, so as long as you act, I will definitely be by your side. As long as those guys don't take the initiative to cause trouble for you, I will not allow you to deal with them!"
At this time, Artoria understood her son's character to a certain 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, we can both be eliminated 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 are staying here." Weber said: "Looking at it this way, all 14 Heroic Spirits might appear at the dock. With our level, it was too confusing in the past."
"Uh, I have to go out." Ji Xing shook his head and said, "If I don't want to 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 will 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 and decisively if you encounter anything.”
"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 anxiously waiting for ten minutes to arrive, and sighed inwardly. As a clock tower lecturer, 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 went out, quickly pushed out a small car from the warehouse, got on it, and swooped out of the gate of the magic base.
Speeding like lightning, freedom is the direction.
In his arms, a gourd-shaped container had its lid opened, and water continued to flow out with the bumps of the car, but miraculously it did not wet his clothes or soak the ground under his feet.
It seems to be flowing into the void.
As he hurried on his way, Ji Xing glanced at the sky above 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 "taking their places" under Astraea's arrangement, basically restoring the previous distance and state.
She looks so awkward.
"What the hell is going on?"
She looked at the faint starlight on her body and secretly thought that Luvia should still have her own consciousness. She thought she had some ideas, but...that guy obviously 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 more and more chaotic! First it’s the King of Heroes, then Tatehoshi-san, Sakura is 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: "Oh no!"
Illusion? 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 many tricks.
.
"Libra's protection is only for the body, not 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 whining sounds.
'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... is this? Can hallucinations... also cause substantial harm?'
"No...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 in 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...'
To be continued...
