"It's even more terrifying when you lose control... Regardless of the control, your copy is really perfect. You are the best among all the Fakers - there's nothing I can do about it."
Shinji sighed when he saw the exaggerated scene below.
"Your Highness, please use the Earth Chain."
"Yes." The pure white vampire nodded slightly to show her agreement, "You must annihilate the enemy, my knight."
"Yes, your majesty!"
Shinji clenched his right fist and hit his left chest.
"Show me the silver chain that binds the True Ancestor!"
A silver chain as thick as two fingers appeared out of thin air, and as Shinji's fingers drove it, it kept spinning around the "conductor" like a python.
The powerful force and fantasy that the "conductor" continuously released could not stop the entanglement of the chains at all. The moment it touched the chains, it melted away, and he could only watch helplessly as the chains bound him tightly.
"What...is...this...thing?"
Perhaps it was because the scale of Shinji's projected thoughts was not large, or perhaps it was because Zepia used his thoughts to cut out a safe zone that was not affected. In short, the vampire who was almost turned into an idiot by the "mental bomb" regained his ability to speak and move.
"Didn't I just say that the 'Earth Chain' is a chain specifically used to bind the True Ancestor?"
The first thing Shinji saw in Millennium Castle was this kind of chain, which filled the entire seal. It was a special weapon for True Ancestors made by Her Highness the Princess herself, and it could seal the True Ancestor's power to the maximum extent.
Elquet is the executioner of vampires. Her targets include not only Dead Apostles but also fallen True Ancestors.
True Ancestors are the darlings of nature, possessing nearly perfect bodies and being able to change reality simply by thinking. Their only flaw is their growing urge to suck blood. Once they can no longer suppress their urge to suck blood, True Ancestors will degenerate into Demon Kings.
The fallen True Ancestors are also True Ancestors, and because they do not need to suppress their blood-sucking urges, their powers are fully liberated. Even if Elquet wants to kill them, it is difficult. For this reason, she specially created chains to target the True Ancestors.
After she sucked blood from Roa, the chains also targeted herself. Every time she killed Roa, she would return to the Millennium City, lock herself up tightly, and imprison herself on the throne to suppress her power and blood-sucking urge. When the day comes when Roa is eliminated, she will fall into eternal sleep in this way.
For the True Ancestor, blood is a drug. As long as they don't suck blood, the urge will continue to increase, and once they suck blood for the first time, they will have to spend twice as much mental energy to resist the urge next time. Elquet knew that one day she would not be able to resist the urge to suck blood, so she took advantage of a seemingly joking opportunity to entrust the chain to Shinji in the form of a fantasy, in case she loses control one day - whether it is to want to suck blood or for some other reason, she will use the chain to seal her.
With Elquet's natural instinct, he certainly wouldn't think of naming the chain. The name was chosen by Shinji himself, inspired by Gilgamesh's most cherished treasure, the "Chain of Heaven".
"Heaven's Chain" is a weapon against gods. The higher the divinity, the harder it is to break free. True Ancestors are also gods, but they exist in a different way and have no divinity, so they are given a relative name.
So far, Shinji has not used this chain, until this moment, to deal with the "false" True Ancestor.
The bound "commander" was weakened by the chains and could not move.
Shinji once again grasped the treasure "Snake Hunting Scythe" also known as "Immortal Killer" and walked towards the alchemist who was making his last struggle, as if he had broken down.
"Alas, I feel both grief and joy at the sight of you. You say that people like ants are like the life of flowers in the dust!"
"The struggles of these heroes will be burned. You rats! Spin! Turn the second hand back! Turn birth back! Turn the world back!"
"Spin! Spin! Spin! Spin! Spin! The Blooder Dealer!"
The black mist that enveloped the vampire's body swirled and spread, dyeing the surroundings black. However, this level of attack was not taken seriously by Shinji at all. The purest sun flame gathered and appeared, clearing the black mist and restoring clarity.
"Information gathering! Cast, copy the commander! Cut off! Cut off! Cut off!"
Zepia hadn't given up yet, and used the last of his computing power to create a new copy, a copy that stunned Shinji once again.
Of course it couldn't be the princess again. If Zepia could copy another princess, Shinji would immediately summon Pegasus to retreat. He was stunned because he was still very familiar with this "copy". Although he had only been with this person for more than three months, it had a profound impact on his life.
This person taught him martial arts, this person taught him magic, this person gave him knowledge, and this person truly made him understand what a strong person is and how to become a strong person.
Her name is Scathach, the immortal Queen of the Shadow Kingdom.
"I didn't expect to see you here..." Shinji stopped involuntarily and murmured softly.
He stopped, but Zepia didn't. The red double guns in the hands of the clone were like two lightning bolts, attacking Shinji's vital points with the force of a storm.
Ajna, throat, heart.
Left shoulder, side abdomen, and lower abdomen.
Up left, down right, six hits in a row.
This is a feat that can only be accomplished by a super master who has reached the pinnacle of spearmanship.
"it's useless."
With a sigh, arms made of spirit particles appeared around Shinji's body. The replica's gun stopped abruptly just inches away from Shinji, and she and herself were imprisoned by the arms.
"This should be taking advantage of the first time you stabbed me to capture the most profound mark of the strong man in my memory. It's a good idea, but I have to say that you chose the wrong person."
Shinji's real body swung his sickle and cut the replica's waist in half.
"She is indeed very powerful and is extremely important to me. Unfortunately, for some reason, the strength she can exert in my memory is very limited, and I am no longer the same person I was back then. Even if you can perfectly reproduce her, you are no match for me. And her greatest wish is for me to kill him with my own hands. Whether you want to play the strength card or the emotional card, it is meaningless."
Then, the Dharmakāya's arms stretched forward, cutting off all the "Aether Light Weaves" and blocking all of Zepia's escape routes. Shinji would not give the enemy any more chances.
"It is over, 'Vallachian Nights';, Zepia Eltram Oberon."
With flashing cold rays, the treasure endowed with the special effect of "bending and prolonging life" was swung repeatedly, cutting into pieces the powerful dead disciple who had brought countless terrors and ranked thirteenth among the "Twenty-Seven Ancestors".
