After sending Shinji away with the power of the first leg, Scathach drew out her double guns and spoke while wielding the guns:
"It's about time you guys get up. He's gone, and the magic should be gone. It's just unconscious magic, it won't kill you."
The restraining force does not allow humans to go to the "root". Since they sent people to kill Araya Souren, how could they let go of Shinji who was walking faster? The reason why Araya was killed but Shinji was safe and sound was because Shinji unconsciously released magic, pressing the guardians to the ground and unable to move.
Guardians are similar to Heroic Spirits, and the third magic is the magic of the soul, and their compatibility is extremely bad. When you are half-baked, it's not a big deal, but once the magic is completed and you become a magician, then no matter how many guardians come, it will be useless - that's why Emiya Shirou said that if Shinji knew the reason, he couldn't kill him.
Magicians are enemies of the "world", but are also people against whom the "world" can do nothing.
As soon as Scathach finished speaking, the Guardians who had fallen in the sand like corpses began to get up one after another. The first thing they did when they got up was not to attack, but to pass Scathach and chase in the direction where Shinji left.
Scathach was not surprised. She switched her double guns from forehand to backhand and drew a line on the ground.
"I see. So you think Shinji hasn't really opened the lid on his magic yet, and you think there's still a chance to kill him? Haha, that's a good idea, but if I just let you go, wouldn't all my efforts be in vain?"
The yellow sand sank downwards, forming a whirlpool. An ancient gate appeared from below and slowly opened.
"Stay with me for a little while longer - Gate of Skye, a land filled with death!"
The direct suction force on the soul is ten times greater than in the real world. You know, this is the outer world, the real magic realm. Without the restrictions of the real world, the power of the Shadow Kingdom can finally be fully manifested.
The huge suction force drew in everything around, including the guardians who were chasing at full speed, and Scathach herself.
By the time the guardians broke free from the suction and regained control of their bodies, the scene of the sandy desert had disappeared, replaced by a monotonous world of black, white and gray.
Based on the shades of color and the vaguely discernible outlines, it can be vaguely identified that this seems to be a castle. The only color in the castle is the unparalleled Eternal Queen sitting on the throne.
It is not a servant that materializes its soul, nor is it a manifestation of long-distance projection of magic power. It is a real, flesh-and-blood existence.
Just sitting there made the guardians below feel infinite pressure, as if they were facing the seven "crowns" at the top of all guardians, who even the restraining force could hardly drive.
"Welcome to the Land of Shadows." The real Scathach said, "This is my kingdom, and even the power of inhibition cannot interfere. Please stay here for a while before my disciples return to the real world. You don't have to, you can defeat me with force. You are protected by the power of inhibition and are immortal to some extent like me. You can challenge me as many times as you want."
The majestic gaze spread backwards and fell on the last three guardians, who were none other than Emiya Shirou, Emiya Kiritsugu and Okita Souji who had just been annihilated by the "Extinction Thorn".
No matter how powerful the "Extinction Thorn" was, it could only kill them once. After that, Alaya summoned them down from the Throne of Heroes again, and unfortunately they were sucked into the Gate to the Demon Realm again.
By the way, one has to die once before entering the gate to the devil's realm. Also because of Alaya's protection, the guardian offsets the instant death effect this time.
The queen of the demon world raised her hand and two magic spears flew out from both sides and hovered in the air.
It's not a treasure, but a genuine product, a Death Thorn Demonic Spear made from the bones and fangs of the Beast of Waves!
"I haven't had a real fight in a long time. Can you ignite my long-lost passion?"
◇◇◇
The young boys and girls were sweating profusely and working hard, well, maybe we should add that they were full of passion.
Don't get the wrong idea, they are not doing anything inappropriate for children. What they are doing is more physically demanding than some of the most primitive sports.
They were forging, or more precisely, forging knives.
A corner of Ryudo Temple, the first spiritual node in Fuyuki City and the best spiritual place.
The swordsmith who forged the sword was the 27th generation Senko Muramasa, and he was also the only master who did not go to the altar tonight.
Originally, he planned to watch the final ceremony with the Emiya family, but just as he reached the fork in the mountain road, he heard a long-lost voice, a long-lost call.
This voice made him give up the idea of going to watch the ceremony. He walked into Liudong Temple carrying the forge and hammer, and walked to the pond in the backyard.
He said that the water here is spiritual water, water with special powers, and is indispensable water for forging swords.
Then he started to make a fire, put the knife blank that had been hammering for a while on the chopping block, and forged it again and again with the hammer he got from his master.
This behavior, which seemed extremely strange to ordinary people, naturally disturbed the monks of Liudong Temple. Fortunately, the girl who was traveling with the boy came forward in time.
She was Ayako Mizutsugi. The worried girl accidentally discovered Shirou's abnormality and followed him quietly.
Ayako has always had a bad relationship with Ryudo Kazunari, the son of the abbot of Ryudo Temple, and was considered an enemy of Buddhism by the latter. However, this also made her familiar with the monks of Ryudo Temple. With her as a guarantor, the monks did not care too much even if they found it strange.
Although the connection between Ryudo Temple and the mysterious world is very weak, living in such a high-quality spiritual place, one will always encounter some things about gods and ghosts, and the ability to accept them is much stronger than that of ordinary people.
So the young man had to concentrate on forging the sword, and he also had a beautiful female assistant to help carry firewood and fetch water.
Of course, at this moment, Shirou had already entered a state of complete oblivion.
Forging was all he had in mind.
All he could think about was his master demonstrating over and over again.
All he had eyes for was the forging hammer, the knife blank, the knife blank, the air blast, the water spraying, and everything related to it.
A voice that was engraved in his soul echoed in his ears.
"People grow old. Even the strongest body will fail, and the soul will decay and rot over time."
"No matter how bad it gets, evil will continue to grow like weeds."
"What to do? Swing the hammer. Each blow will hammer the faith of saving the world into your bones."
"What to do? Step on the bellows. Each gust of wind will blow the thoughts of my salvation into the forge."
"What to do? Use your bare hands to quench the blade. Each quenching sound will temper the achievements of your life into the blade."
"This body was made for the sword. When my body vanishes into smoke, no one will know my name. All the things I have forged will return to dust."
"This blade is forged only for the common people."
PS: Guardian: You’re such a jerk, you battle maniac, don’t come over here, don’t come over here!
PS2: Shirou: One of me is being beaten, and the other is pretending to be cool, it's so sour and cool.
PS: Some people asked about Souji's height. Yes, Souji is not as tall as Master, but don't forget that Demon Souji is on stilts, so he is taller than everyone else. I'll complain about this setting a little bit. It's okay for female characters to fight with high heels, after all, many boots also have heels, so just treat it as a variant, but stilts - sister, are you an acrobat? Do you want to hold a ball or ride a unicycle
