Denying human history.
Deny human nature.
Deny the treasure.
Denial of human faith.
This is the concept of the existence of the Dead Apostles, and it is also the biggest reliance of Roa, Nero Chaos, who dares to find trouble with Servants everywhere. Perhaps the restraint on Servants is not as exaggerated as that on humans with Noble Phantasms, but the Dead Apostles are monsters known for their resilience, and this advantage is enough to turn into a winning advantage.
Of course, the incident with Sengo Muramasa was an accident. His "Infinite Sword Making" was not a Noble Phantasm, but a real sword cast on the spot. Therefore, it was not affected by the concept of Dead Apostles. He beat Roa, whose strength was limited, so miserably that his performance was even worse than that of Araya Soren who had transformed into a diamond.
In contrast, for Shinji, who is not a Servant but obtained the Noble Phantasm through the gift of a Servant, this conceptual restraint is exerted to the maximum.
"The concept of a Dead Apostle can invalidate your Noble Phantasm, and you can't resist my 'Mystic Eyes of Death Perception' in close combat; you should know what this means, right?"
Roa seemed to be very satisfied with Shinji's current expression and laughed.
"Unfortunately, a frog can never kill a snake, so you can't kill me - is that the end, Matou Shinji?"
At this point, Roa's feet finally started to move.
Now that the air around him is already filled with negativity, he still has to complete the final processing steps to transform all negativity into death!
However, at the moment when death was about to become a reality, and also one step before entering the dagger's attack range, the dead apostle, who was confident of victory and full of ambition, suddenly felt his knees go weak and fell to the ground in pain, his hands involuntarily covering his stomach and groaning in pain.
"Hmm, um... what on earth is this..."
"Oh my, did you have a stomachache?"
A teasing voice sounded above the vampire's head. When he looked up, he saw that it was indeed Shinji Matou, the "Blue Knight" who was sentenced to death by Roa.
The expressions on their faces instantly completed the call, as if it was a dramatic change.
The shock on the boy's face disappeared at some point, and his eyes and expression returned to their previous contempt and disdain.
Luo Aze lost his previous complacency and his face was filled with horror.
"My body... is melting. What on earth did you do? I should have denied dropping your gun."
Through the gap between his hands, he could vaguely see that Roa's abdomen was abnormally red, warmer than blood, like the red of sunlight. This red melted his coat and then burned through his abdomen.
"Want to know?"
Shinji asked with a giggle.
Not only the expressions were swapped, it seemed that even the roles were going to be swapped.
"Well, I don't have the habit of explaining my abilities to my enemies. But since you explained it so well just now, I'll make an exception for you. You did negate my Noble Phantasm, but it wasn't the Noble Phantasm that hurt you. It was the concept of the 'sun' in the Noble Phantasm."
"Concept extraction?" Luo A's expression became even uglier.
"That's right. The Dead Apostles' denial of the essence of the Noble Phantasm is actually a denial of human history and, in other words, human belief. The reason why they cannot deny the Heroic Spirits is that the source of their power is not only human belief, but also their own strength and efforts."
Shinji said, pointing at Iskandar who was fighting Nero Chaos in the distance, and then at Faker who was receiving treatment at the edge of the battlefield.
"All the heroes who left their names in history had accomplished earth-shaking feats before they were sublimated into Heroic Spirits. The Noble Phantasm, the trump card of Heroic Spirits, is also composed of these two aspects: the Heroic Spirits give them concepts, which are sublimated into shape through faith. You can deny the blessing of faith on them, but you cannot deny the concepts themselves. It is these concepts that hurt you. I am very good at transformation in this regard."
As if being pulled by some force, the spirit particles of the "Immortal Blade" that had scattered because of Roa's denial returned again and gathered above Shinji's outstretched fingers.
This time, the golden spirit particles did not condense into the shape of a gun or a bow, nor did they materialize into a physical entity. Instead, they simply gathered into a golden spirit particle ball, emitting light and heat like the sun.
"Roa, you are too confident and believe too much in the superiority of the Dead Apostles over the Noble Phantasms. If you hadn't been so arrogant and used your body to catch my gun, how would I have had the chance to attach the concept of 'sun' to you? Do you understand? I have been actively cooperating with your 'denial'."
"So you already knew it."
Luoa looked ashen. He couldn't even look Shinji in the eye. The "sun" concept attached to his body was not only burning his abdomen, but also spreading to other parts of his body. Shinji didn't rush to finish him off. He patiently explained and waited for the "sun" concept to ferment further.
"Of course. There are actually more ancestors than just 'Fuhailin Anash' and 'Night of Wallachia' that I have fought with, but for some reason, only the two unlucky ones who died are known to the outside world. From the beginning, I knew that the Dead Apostles were restrained against Noble Phantasms."
Because it was so long ago, many people have forgotten that Shinji first met Zu in early 1999. He fell into a trap and met the nominal "King of the Dead Apostles", one of the oldest Dead Apostles, "White Wing Lord". That time, he was beaten very badly, and almost played all his cards. Only with the help of "Jewel Man" did he escape from danger.
If he hadn't known in advance that the Dead Apostles were incompatible with the Noble Phantasms, he wouldn't have survived until now.
"Like I said, I know you better than you think! Don't underestimate a professional Dead Apostle hunter, vampire!"
Shinji pointed his finger at the sky, raising it higher and higher, and the "sun" on his fingertips also rose higher and higher, and finally hovered directly above Roa's head.
"You're my nemesis? Who decided that?"
"A frog can't kill a snake? Who decided that?"
"I can't kill you? Who decided that?"
As he asked three questions in a row, he waved his hand and the sun burst into infinite light, illuminating the battlefield under the night sky as if it were daytime!
"—It's not you who decides, it's me!"
"Roa!"
At this time, Roa's allies finally realized something was wrong and shouted to come to the rescue, but were strongly blocked by Iskandar and Gray.
Shinji finally stopped hesitating and delivered the decisive attack.
"The merciless sun!"
The sun sets.
"Ah, it's gone!!! Ahhh!!!"
Roa screamed in the direct sunlight. Although it was only once, the pain he brought him this time was greater than the dozen times he was killed before. This boy, whom he regarded as prey, successfully used this method to imprint his name in the deepest part of his soul, together with the pure white princess!
"Ma.Tori.Shin.Ji!"
PS: Regarding the dead apostles denying the Noble Phantasm, some people actually said that the traitor had some personal stuff? Tsk tsk, this is the official setting of Type-Moon, and it is the best Fate novel fsf after FZ. The traitor with personal stuff will be said out loud, and if it is not said, there must be a source. Where do you think the title of "What's the matter with my setting" came from
PS2: Many people think that 2.2 is not as good as 2.1, but I think 2.2 is worse than 2.1, especially in terms of dog food. The dog food that Xige and Bujie send is really amazing. Xige: Ah, my love. Bujie: Ah, my hero. Xige is the Nordic king of flirting, and his operatic love words make Bujie so excited. So far, the image of Xige and Bujie has been determined. Xige is a science student who is open and flirty, and Bujie is a yandere liberal arts student. If you look closely at their clothes, you can see that they are modified from school uniforms. I like this CP, it's awesome. (If we have a chance to meet again, come and kill me again, if this is how you express your love. Then I will bear your love and prove my love.) So you two should get married immediately. I won't be raiding Lostbelts anymore, so you two should go on a honeymoon.
PS3: By the way, there is also a joke in the market. Sister Bu is the eldest sister of the Valkyrie. There are other Valkyries in the Lostbelt. In the end, Sister Bu is fighting three sisters alone. The three sisters don’t understand why there is such a big difference. Sister Bu is blabbering, and netizens say that this is the power of love. Then why was Sister Bu expelled from the Valkyrie sequence? The answer is simple. The idol announced her love relationship, so she was expelled from the idol group by her agent Odin. Odin is also a playful person.
