"There are more and more exaggerated things. I even began to think that there is nothing to be proud of in the Age of Gods."
Medea, who was still on the cliff with Fujino and did not participate in the battle, was almost numb to all the exaggerated things. She was the most outstanding magician in human history, so she knew more about the implications than anyone else.
Orange's "freeze frame", Rin's "jewel sword", Shinji's "memory recovery, fantasy advent", each one is extraordinary, a feat that even gods cannot accomplish.
"So, Shinji is sure to win?" Fujino smiled from the bottom of her heart. Because of the intervention of Achilles and Spartacus, she no longer had any room to intervene and could only watch calmly.
"We're sure to win, but whether we can completely kill these difficult monsters is not certain." Medea nodded first, then shook her head. "After all, it's not a complete magic. It still has limitations if it relies solely on memory."
Because he is a genuine Servant, Medea can easily see the difference between "memory restoration" and a real Servant.
The genuine servants have a real basis, the truth of their lives plus the addition of deeds and legends. However, "memory reproduction" is based only on Shinji's memory, or more accurately, cognition. If you can understand it, you can reproduce it well. If you can't understand it, there will be problems in the reproduction.
With Shinji's current level of martial arts and magic, only servants like Astolfo and Vlad III, who are not good at martial arts, have a relatively high degree of completion. Heroes like Karna and Siegfried, who have inhuman skills, can only exert less than 30% of their original strength.
In addition, there is a more important point, the Noble Phantasm, which is more difficult to understand than the Servant itself. Except for those that have been possessed or used before, the rest cannot even be materialized. But the Noble Phantasms that can be materialized are all "prepared for people" and can be easily denied by the Dead Apostles.
That's why Medea said this. If they could really reproduce in their entirety, no matter how strong Roa, Nero Chaos, and Araya were, they wouldn't be able to hold out until now under the siege of the fourteen servants.
After the initial period of shock, when Roa and his team gradually adapt to the current attack rhythm, Shinji's advantage will be further lost.
More importantly—
"The enemy's servant has not yet taken action."
As soon as Medea finished speaking, Araya Sōren, who was being held back by Orange, Astolfo, and Avisbronn's puppets, suddenly said, "Go, Assassin!"
The next second, a pair of will-o'-the-wisp eyes appeared behind Shinji. With a flash of cold light, the young Shinji's head fell off.
This series of events happened so fast that Rin and Little Jack had no time to react. They could only watch the cold light continue to move, slashing towards the back of Shinji's neck from top to bottom. The latter still closed his eyes, with a calm expression, as if he was unaware of the impending disaster.
At the critical moment, a strange arm stretched out from the side. The position from the palm to the elbow was basically the same as that of a human hand, but behind the elbow was not an upper arm, but a pitch-black metal chain.
The hand accurately knocked away the cold light of the beheading, and then a figure in a gray cloak jumped out from the darkness, took the arm back, and spoke in an emotionless voice.
"Master Shinji, please leave him to me."
"I'm counting on you, Danzo."
It was still the young man Shinji who answered, and the head that had left the body could actually speak.
Obviously, this was also part of the plan. From the beginning to the end, he had never forgotten Araya Souren's Servant, the Assassin who could not even be captured by his mental scans and his extraordinary intuition.
The lurking assassin was the most dangerous. If he didn't come out, the situation of the must-kill would still be uncertain. In order to eliminate the variables, this most threatening guy had to be lured out.
Therefore, Shinji uses himself as bait, while his younger self protects in the open, and Kato Dan hides in the dark to target the enemy Assassin.
Danzo is a legendary ninja and has no vital signs of a living being. Coupled with the invisibility effect of the "Hades Cloak", her stealth ability is comparable to the highest level of "Breath Blocking". She will definitely be able to contain the enemy Assassin.
And Danzo did not disappoint Shinji and Chengzi, and proved with facts that the legendary "Flying Kato" was not in vain.
When his attack missed, Assassin, who had will-o'-the-wisp eyes, fled into the darkness without hesitation, refusing to fight.
Dan Zang followed into the shadows and left a message: "Mission understood."
Then, in a place out of sight, a secret battle quietly unfolded.
This is what assassins do. Once they are out of hiding, it is difficult for them to remain unnoticed.
The head flew into the air and fell back to its original body. The young man Shinji adjusted the position with his hands and grinned in horror.
"I forgot to mention that as long as I am alive, all Memory Servants are immortal." That's why I asked if your life reserve is sufficient.
There are only two ways to deal with vampires: kill them quickly with overwhelming recovery power, or use stronger recovery power to slow them down to death. "Memory Reappearance" belongs to the latter, and the next one is the former.
Now that the last Assassin has been restrained by Danzo, the young Shinji finally has no more scruples, leaves his main body and goes to the front line. The Noble Phantasm he possesses is the nemesis of the Dead Apostles.
The divine treasure, Indra's Thunder, and the Snake Hunting Scythe given by the god Hermes, which was specially used to defeat the Gorgon monster - in order to deal with Roa, the "Akasha Snake", Shinji specially borrowed this treasure that had already been given away from Medusa.
Surprisingly, when Roa saw Shinji approaching, he was not panicked but laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha, in order to trick me, he used himself as bait and sacrificed his master and senior brother. He is obviously a human being, but he is more cruel than a monster like me."
"No matter what you say, you can't change the fate of death." Shinji said expressionlessly.
"That's hard to say. You don't think you're going to win."
Even when he was smashed into the ground by Spartacus, even when he was pierced by a spear by Vlad III, Roa was still smiling.
"Oh? What other tricks do you have? You might as well use them all."
"A simple gimmick, a classic monster-targeting-hero plot—did you notice that Nero used fewer beasts this time than before?"
Shinji's eyes changed slightly. It was indeed a little less. The number used to be around 500, but now it seemed to be less than 400, including the corpses on the ground.
Roa continued to ask: "Do you want to know where they are?"
Shinji snorted coldly: "If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now."
"The answer is revealed, there. Originally they were used to prevent you from escaping, but now they have a new purpose. If we die here, they will rush into the city without stopping."
At the end, Luoa laughed loudly, and he pointed in the direction of Fuyuki City.
PS: Erye can do it now. If you want, you can even pull out gods to fight. Think about this ability is really rogue (the main body of Wallachia Night). The phenomenon of no concept of death plus the infinite rumor counterfeit system, if it weren't for the Red Moon Kill of Elquit, I don't know how to win. At most, I can drag it out until the sun rises and the vampire's power is weakened.
