"Matou..."
At this time, Ayako Mizutsu also noticed Shinji's presence, opened her mouth dryly, and greeted him reluctantly.
"I'm sorry to get you involved, Meizhui - is that too much for you?"
Shinji sighed, took Mina's hand and walked to the girl.
"Yeah." Ayako nodded slightly, "I would rather believe that I am hallucinating."
Being born into a military family, she is already considered extraordinary in the eyes of ordinary people. However, such extraordinaryness can only be considered as entry level in the real mysterious world. Compared with the existence standing at the top in the distance, it is as far away as the distance between an elementary school student and the Prime Minister of Japan.
"Then let's just think of it as a dream." Shinji lowered his head apologetically, sketching in the air with his fingers.
"Matou?" Ayako called out in confusion.
"Close your eyes and have a good sleep. When you wake up, you will still be the same person. The majestic Kyudo leader, the good student that everyone trusts."
Shinji's voice became gentler and gentler, with a fascinating magic, like a lullaby, making Ayako's eyelids heavier and heavier.
Just before the girl was about to close her eyes and become unconscious, she suddenly bit her tongue, groaned heavily, and broke free from Shinji's hypnosis.
The rune collapsed due to the resistance of the subject, and the dissipation of magic power bounced off Shinji's fingers.
"Why are you doing this?"
Hearing the boy's sigh, the girl shook her head and said firmly: "Although I don't know what you are going to do to me, I don't want this."
"Don't you wish you could return to your normal life?"
"I hope so, but that requires me to make the decision by my own will, not you making the decision for me."
She is worthy of being called "Shijie's nickname". Although they have different personalities, they are both equally strong inside.
"Well said, Ayako." Ryougi Shiki rarely praised her, supporting the girl who was more similar to her than blood relatives. "Matou, leave Ayako's affairs to me, don't worry about it... Well, you probably don't have time to care about it."
"If you need anything done, just let me know. If you don't want to come to me, you can always come to Sakura."
Shinji shook his hands, not wasting any more magic power. Shiki was right, the matter of Ayako Mizutsu was just a trivial matter, the battle in the distance was the real big deal.
When he sneaked nearby and saw both sides of the battlefield clearly, his expression was even more exaggerated than Ayako's.
Ayako was simply shocked by the scene, but Shinji clearly recognized the identities of the participants and everything that they represented.
The combatants were divided into two factions.
One group was familiar faces as expected. The one driving the Thunder Chariot was the King of Conquerors Iskandar, and also in the chariot was his Master Waver. The one controlling the wind and thunder in the sky was Iskandar's Shadow Warrior, and the one wearing the cloak was naturally her Master Gray.
The other faction was far beyond Shinji's expectations and was the culprit for his distorted expression.
This group can be considered familiar, well, familiar strangers. If possible, Shinji really wants to shout:
"The one who played the barrier was Araya, right? It's not surprising that he targeted Shiki-nee. But when did he come back to life? Didn't Orange say it would be the next century? Oh, yes, it's already the 21st century."
"Okay, forget about that, but what about Nero Chaos? This rotten smell is undoubtedly a Dead Apostle. He is the only Dead Apostle who can fight against two Iskandars and control a herd of beasts of this size. How did he get involved with Araya? Is it because they are both Mapo?"
The last sentence is naturally a complaint, but it is not simple no matter how you think about it that a troublesome guy like Nero Chaos and an even more troublesome guy like Araya appear together.
Just for Ryougi Shiki? Shinji didn't believe it.
If these two guys work together, Shiki will never have a chance to escape. I don't mean to look down on Ryougi Shiki, but the combination of Araya and Nero Chaos is indeed very difficult.
Araya is a man who plans before he acts, and he will not make a move unless he is absolutely sure. He knows the effect of the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception", and with him around, Nero Chaos will never make the same mistake as in "Tsukihime" and leave Shiki a chance. Moreover, Shiki, who cannot see the "dead spot", may not be able to kill with one strike like Shiki.
Moreover, the two of them were stronger than Shiki in terms of strength. Through observation during this period, Shinji had already seen that the resurrected Araya had become stronger, so strong that even Gray holding Yad was suppressed by him. Nero Chaos also fought back and forth with the two Iskandars and was not at a disadvantage.
Although Gray did not release the Holy Lance and Iskandar did not use his trump card "King's Army", the outcome is still unpredictable considering the two guys' super endurance.
As Shinji was watching, the Thunder Chariot finally rushed to Nero Chaos in the middle of the beasts with sparks and lightning, and the Macedonian King of Conquerors loudly declared:
"Are you the enemy's commander? I have taken your head!"
Then, the sacred bull roared, the sword was swung, and the head of the man in the windbreaker fell off.
Perhaps because he felt that he had succeeded too easily, Iskandar complained in disappointment, "Is this all you can do? I thought a guy who could command an army of this size would be very strong."
"Idiot, don't be careless!" Weber, who was riding in the same car with Wang, quickly reminded.
The next second, the severed head returned to the body. Then the hem of the windbreaker flipped open, and a black hound suddenly jumped out and rushed straight to Iskandar on the chariot.
The latter was already prepared because of Waver's reminder. He swung his sword to kill while saying:
"Oh, this is so dangerous. There is actually this trick."
"Physical injuries mean nothing to me."
Nero Chaos twisted his neck after regaining his head, then turned around and looked at the King of Conquerors.
"I see. That's why Waver called you a monster beyond common sense. Your ability is simply unfair. However, this is the only way you are qualified to be hunted by me."
"Hunting, you suddenly attacked me because you thought I was prey?"
"Hahahaha, isn't it natural for humans to hunt monsters?"
Iskandar's straightforward answer made Nero Chaos feel angry.
"Of course... You so-called heroes all think so, the old man, the King of Persia, and you too..."
"The King of Persia?" Iskandar frowned slightly.
"His name seems to be Darius III, and he was struggling foolishly until the end."
"I see, so you are the same, indeed you are a good opponent who has stopped me many times."
Iskandar put away his smile, lowered his eyelids, and looked serious. For the first time, his voice, which had always been full of passion, was filled with a chilling coldness.
"This gives me one more reason to attack you."
PS: Let's continue to talk about the information about 2.2, mainly about the Emiya family. This time, the pseudo-servant is Illya. The orthodox ALTERGO is a mixture of three northern goddesses. One of the components is Freya of the Norse pantheon. She is the stepdaughter of Skadi in normal human history. Although Skadi here is not married, there is still a mother-daughter relationship between the two. The mother-daughter relationship at the end is good, very good.
PS2: Airi, what do you think? Your daughter has a new mother? Kiritsugu, what do you think? Should you also take her into your harem? Hmm? Those guys in Valhalla and Throne of the Gods really like the Emiya family, a family full of heroes.
