Of course, understanding is one thing, but it doesn’t mean Shinji will accept this kind of difficulty.
He has secret treasures that can be compared to the True Crimson Fruit, but they are either being used or are directly treasures. The ownership is bound to the soul and cannot be used as a trading item.
"As you said, I don't have any secret treasures to give as a reward."
"It seems that woman doesn't like you very much." Xier smiled proudly, "Since you can't pay, unfortunately, we can't give you the True Red Fruit."
"It's a pity indeed." Shinji still didn't get angry, "But the issue of spoils is something we'll have to deal with after defeating Fukailin. The most urgent thing is to get to the center of the forest first. On this point, we still have a basis for cooperation."
Xiyeer frowned slightly: "What do you mean-?"
"How about we first join forces to attack the Crimson Throne, and then we can each rely on our own abilities to deal with the Crimson Fruit?"
"It sounds good, but it could just be your excuse." Hier did not hide his doubts.
First join forces, then turn against each other? No one will believe you.
Who knows if you will not put in enough effort and deliberately use us as a shield, or even worse, attack us from behind at the critical moment of the battle.
"We both agree on this. Besides, there are three of you and I am only one. No matter how you look at it, you are the ones who are taking advantage and I am the one who is at a disadvantage. Or are the members of the Burial Agency, the ultimate force of the Church, afraid of a nobody like me?"
The situation has been reversed. Before, it was Xiel who provoked and Shinji who resolved the situation. Now it is Shinji who provoked and Xiel who resolved the situation.
"I'm not afraid, but I don't think it's necessary to make things more complicated. Even if we don't form an alliance with you, we can still complete the crusade against Anashu. Please leave."
"Are you sure you want me to leave? I've already said that I won't give up the True Crimson Fruit. Aren't you afraid that I'll come back and attack you from the dark? By comparison, it's easier to guard against if we act together."
"No, there is an easier way, I will take care of you right here."
Xiel put away the state he used for diplomacy and transformed it into the coldness he used for battle.
The battle was still started by Black Key, but this time, the edge of Black Key was not ordinary silver, but bright orange-red. The heat from the orange-red could be felt even from a distance of several meters.
"Cremation ceremony?" Shinji thought to himself.
That was the church's secret technique, and one of Hier's most commonly used skills. Although it was called a secret technique, it was actually a kind of magic that could add fire attacks to items, and its attack power was incomparable to that of ordinary black keys.
However, this posed no threat to Shinji, who had incorporated the Sun Flame into his regular attack system. He remained sitting casually and shook his head indifferently.
"If the difference between us and the enemy is huge, this would be a good method. Unfortunately, the gap between us is not that big. For the time being, I have also conquered one of the twenty-seven ancestors. If he is determined to leave, you can't stop him. If we really want to fight to the death, it's not impossible for one or two people to die. Will you still be able to conquer Fu Hailin by then?"
"Everyone can talk big."
Kallen's body trembled, and she dropped the holy shroud to the ground, and the ominous devil's aura once again emanated from her body. She knew very well that she must be one of the "one or two" mentioned by Shinji.
"You'll know whether it's a lie or not."
Shinji said, stretching out a finger and pointing it at Kallen in the air.
A golden lightning radiated from the fingertips, not only sweeping away the surrounding demonic aura, but also directly hitting Kallen's body, causing her to tremble all over.
The next second, Xiel's Black Key also arrived. There was no way, no matter how strong the "Iron Armor Effect" was, it was impossible for the Black Key to reach the speed of lightning. Although the two attacked at the same time, Shinji was still one step faster, and even had time to release the second thunder to shatter the Flame Black Key.
It was not until this time that Xiel noticed Kallen's abnormality and exclaimed.
"Kallen!!!"
"See, I'm not exaggerating. You have the Magdalene Shroud, and I have something similar."
That golden lightning is exactly the "Golden Thunder" derived from the concept of "Indra's Thunder".
Indra is the guardian deity of Buddhism. It is his duty to subdue demons and monsters. His divine thunder is the nemesis of evil spirits. Although we don't know the specific ability of the demon nun, it is obviously within the control range of divine thunder.
"The last one was just a greeting. I won't be so gentle next time."
Shinji has a natural liking for the heroines of the Type-Moon world, and doesn't mind helping them a little. But this liking is not enough to make him give in without principles. If Xiel and Kallen insist on stopping him, he will not show mercy.
"you!!!"
Xier was enraged. She took out a classical book from her arms. The dark cover was made of unknown material, but it exuded a holy glow.
Feeling the unique fantasy atmosphere emanating from the pages of the book, Shinji's face changed slightly.
That is a secret treasure of the same rank as Lizbeife's Holy Shield, Xiel's final trump card, the "Seventh Holy Scripture".
About a thousand years ago, the Church used the horn of a unicorn to fuse with the soul of a girl who was sacrificed as a human being, and eventually the conceptual weapon "Seventh Holy Scripture" was born.
According to legend, the unicorn's horn is used as a key to interpreting God's will. Sentences denying reincarnation are written on it, giving it the concepts of "criticism of reincarnation" and "eternal destruction."
This high-dimensional being of spiritual nature has extremely high attack power. Any spirit hit by it will be shattered. It is the trump card against Roja and the source of Shinji's pressure.
Just like Indra's Thunder restrained Kallen, the Seventh Holy Scripture was also Shinji's nemesis. He was not sure whether the unfinished Third Law could resist the special effects of the "Seventh Holy Scripture".
"We must not get hit. It seems that it is time to use some powerful firearms. Well, Xiel has a higher level of immortality than the master, so there is no need to worry about really killing her and causing the situation to be irreversible."
Yes, although there are limitations, Hiel does have an even more exaggerated immortality than Scathach.
Elquite had no ability to attack souls, and each generation of Roya's reincarnation was dealt with by physical destruction. In other words, Xiel had been killed once by Elquite, and was really killed. Her body was recovered by the church that arrived later and used as a precious specimen.
However, no one expected that three years after Xier's death, she would come back to life in the specimen library. The church that discovered the abnormality immediately detained her and conducted a month-long experimental investigation. During this month, the church tried various methods to kill her, but after being killed, her body would immediately recover and revive.
Finally, the church had no choice but to hand her over to the Burial Agency. Because of her immortality, which was more exaggerated than any other monster, Hiel was valued by Narubalek and joined the Burial Agency, ranking seventh.
PS: Jian Shao thinks that the Seventh Holy Codex is in the form of a book. First of all, the name of the weapon is Holy Codex. Secondly, when the Seventh Holy Codex is used, there will be a special effect of book pages falling.
PS2: That's why I say that Tsukihime's average level is high. Shiki with a superhuman body and the death eye, the invincible True Ancestor Elquito, the immortal body Hiel, Akahisa Akiha who is comparable to a Servant, plus the half-vampire Shion with Melty Blood who invades other people's brains at will, and Lorelaia who is the pinnacle of modern magicians in the prologue of Tsukihime 2, can start a Holy Grail War by herself.
PS3: If you really go to the Fate set, Shirou won't be able to play at all, Unlimited Blade Works? The princess and Xiyeer will stand there for you to attack until you have no more magic.
