"My master, I am more willing to show her new strength here—with you as the first whetstone."
The Heroic Spirit of Rider, Medusa spoke quietly, the purple eyepatch covering a third of her face also concealed her current expression, but in that voice was the naked contempt for the trembling man in front of her And the hostility is extremely obvious.
Matou Shinji was stunned for a moment, and then immediately realized who Rider was talking about. In such a desperate situation, he even squeezed out a distorted smile from the corner of his mouth: "Sakura? My good sister... disappeared without authorization For so long, I thought she was dead. After all, there are many good things in her body... Hahaha, come on, where is that bitch you mentioned? Let her come out to see me"
"As you wish," the moment Matou Shinji finished speaking, a crystal-clear voice suddenly echoed in the air, "My poor brother."
Accompanied by this clear voice, the blue light instantly illuminated the entire courtyard.
In the open space in the front yard of the Weigong ruins, in midair less than half a meter from the ground, a bright but not dazzling blue light burst out suddenly. The mysterious halo wandered wantonly in the air, gradually organizing into a The complex-textured energy array and the triple energy halos rotating at different speeds form a "well" with a radius of three meters, and in the center of this energy well, the blue-white rays of light that keep gushing out are as substantial as real **, Accompanied by the sound of "clicking" like crystals rubbing against each other, something gradually emerged from the center of the energy well, and gradually became clear.
A massive… crystal statue.
The overall height is more than five meters, and the whole body is composed of crystal clear sky blue crystals. The lower body of the statue is not a human shape, but an inverted vertebral base, just like the bottom of the suspended continent in a fairy tale, showing that it has been transformed from some kind of "basic". The fragmented feeling that was abruptly separated from the "seat", the large crystal clusters extending from the lower part of the inverted cone are slightly purple, and energy sparks are constantly bursting out from between the crystal spines, just like a miniature lightning storm. The upper part of the three-meter-diameter base is an absolutely smooth plane. There are dots of light and complex rune arrays floating on this platform. A female upper body about three meters high is connected to it, making the entire crystal statue look like It seems that half of it has just been carved, and only half of it is formed. The half body of the woman carved from crystal is wearing very complicated "clothes". Of course, it is also composed of crystals. Even though they are strangely combined into a close-fitting shape, although it does not hinder the perfect body shape of the "wearer", the weird style is still full of grotesques.
And this five-meter-high crystal statue has exactly the same face as Matou Sakura. In fact, "she" is the current Matou Sakura herself.
"Crystal... the form of the Virgin..." I am amazed and admiring, "I must admit that Tavel's head is one of our most precious treasures. Although she is not good at mysticism, she can use the mystery of the Garden of the Dead Such a powerful life is born from components, which is far beyond my imagination."
Of course, I still have reservations and not optimistic about the aesthetics of the glasses lady.
Sandora curled her lips: "But I think Ah Jun, you should still have a headache first, how to calm down the little human next to you."
Forehead
I turned my head in doubt, just in time to see Emiya Shirou's shocked and unbelievable gaze just moved away from Matou Sakura's crystal sculpture, and then focused on me.
Oh, got it... I fucking forgot the world view of ordinary people again
Unsurprisingly, Emiya Shirou almost impulsively came up to me to fight for his life—if Saber hadn't stopped him.
"Why did Sakura become like this? Is this what you call healing? What did you do to her?"
And as Emiya roared like this, Saber on the side also showed a serious expression, obviously hoping that I could explain why Sakura left the earth for treatment but was transformed into a crystal statue.
"Ahem," I scratched my hair, Xiao Mian, fooling you and needing to waste our brain cells? Two sentences are enough, "I admit that the levitating armor commonly used by Xiling civilization is a bit different from human aesthetics, but the armor has been modified as much as possible according to Matou Sakura's preferences."
"Um, armor?"
Wei Gong froze for a moment, then repeated embarrassingly: "That is armor?"
I rolled my eyes: "Nonsense, what do you think?"
The silly boy Emiya almost dug a hole on the spot and buried himself in it, while Artoria still looked at me with suspicious eyes, and the dumb hair on his head pointed to this side like a firm guard, conveying that "although Knowing that you are a very honest person but somehow instinctively doubting what you say" message.
Speaking of which, how did Saber manage to use dumb hair to convey information to the outside world
"The energy density here is very low, and it is much easier to move than in the laboratory."
Suddenly a clear voice reverberating in the air interrupted this small episode. Matou Sakura, in the state of the Crystal Virgin, moved her body slightly while speaking, and immediately made the clear and crisp sound when the crystals collided, huge The bottom of the statue burst out more intensive energy sparks than before, propelling her to float in the direction of Matou Shinji. The low energy roar was like the whining sound of some trapped beast in the middle of the night, indirectly indicating that the magnificent What a frighteningly huge energy source the inverted cone base actually is.
"Ah, my brother, you look as big as a mouse from this position."
"Don't come here... ah... don't come here"
With such a desperate and fearful cry, Matou Shinji almost used his hands and feet to back up on the gravel-covered ground. He didn't even realize that his hands and feet were covered in bloodstains until his back hit a large pile of steel bars. It made him stop, and then shouted even more terrified: "Please, leave, I will definitely give you a salvation, ah, ah haha, leave, Sakura, I am your brother..."
Already delirious enough to regard the colossus in front of you as a wronged soul who came to revenge? That's right, the Sakura shape in the form of the Crystal Madonna is really scary. When the shape of the Crystal Madonna was finalized, Bubble shouldn't have come up with the same idea. God knows which girl that girl snatched a boss image out of a game she was fighting for. It was placed on Sakura's head.
Although there is no one to command, the remaining eight or nine infantry spirits spontaneously formed the last line of defense at this moment, blocking the path of the crystal colossus. These silent warriors found that the colossus in the air did not pay attention to themselves After that, they threw the javelins in their hands in unanimous agreement, and then pulled out a new javelin in an instant, launching a second round of attacks. Before the energy sparks from the bottom of the colossus touched them, these well-trained infantry unexpectedly released three powerful waves in a row. Throwing attacks, it's a pity that those throwing spears that may even kill a heroic spirit head-on have no effect on the current Sakura. The translucent energy shield that appears out of thin air blocks all attacks, and those throwing spears can't even make this layer of ghost energy There was a slight ripple on the shield, but the energy lightning that erupted from the lower part of the "pedestal" where Sakura was located instantly hit the two nearest infantry spirits.
It was stronger than Rider's blow, and after only three seconds, the infantry heroic spirit who had just begun to struggle turned into the same crystal clear crystal sculpture, even the swollen hairs were completely visible.
However, such an attack seemed to be launched completely unconsciously by Sakura, it was just the natural discharge of the crystal clusters used to act as a mobile base, when the three infantry sculptures collapsed to the ground with a crisp click She even looked around curiously when it was broken into pieces.
After seeing such a powerful and strange attack, the surviving infantry heroes immediately retreated collectively until there was no way to retreat, and then threw the spears in their hands again.
"These things are really annoying," Sakura waved her arms in trouble, in her current eyes, these heavy javelins buzzed like mosquitoes but were insignificant, "hey, what is the motor language, by the way, The splendor of the Empire guides you—begin the transformation"
A wide range of blue light burst out from the bottom of the giant statue as the voice fell, and swept through the few remaining infantry spirits like a hurricane. Under the illumination of this strange light, those heroic spirits struggled to walk, and even standing became a luxury. He half knelt down, as if paying homage to the crystal giant floating in the air, but the expression on Sakura's face was not the slightest bit happy, because it seemed that this transformation was not the same as the simulation in the laboratory.
"Bang, bang, bang" several low-pitched explosions sounded, and the last few infantrymen illuminated by the blue light exploded into blue-white light spots without exception, gradually dissipating in the air.
"Ah?" Sakura immediately exclaimed in a low voice, "Transformation failed?"
Tavel, do your works also have bugs
"Then, brother, you are the only one left."
Sakura let out a brisk laugh, with the sound of crystal shattering in her voice, the platform under her gradually stopped releasing energy, and the five-meter-high giant statue was suspended in front of Matou Shinji, who could only open his mouth wide open. Mouth, a meaningless rattling sound came out of the throat.
This confrontation lasted about a minute, and then Sakura suddenly sighed softly: "Get out of here, my poor brother, I hope you can survive the purge after 'they' arrive."
Sure enough, she made such a decision, even for the person who has done such an unforgivable thing to herself, she still has an attitude of sympathy and compassion. Is it enough to just punish her like this
Sakura, you are so kind.
But Matou Shinji, you are doomed to be a dead person already.
The huge energy radiation of the Crystal Virgin is far beyond what humans can bear. Although Sakura has bound these radiations in her body, it may be caused by her subconscious mind. On the side facing Matou Shinji, the large dose of radiation energy has never decayed.
According to this dose, the brain nerves will probably gradually rot in the next thirty days, which is very in line with the death method of scum.
Being let off suddenly, Matou Shinji's face was full of disbelief. After seeing that the tall female face was not joking at all, he finally broke out into a laugh that escaped death, but the next moment he hurried Covering his mouth, as if he was afraid that such an abrupt voice would make the "unjust soul" in front of him change his mind, in such a crazily manner, he climbed up while supporting the steel bar stack beside him, and then stumbled out of the Wei Gong compound, far away. In the distance, the other party's distorted and presumptuous laughter came.
What an embarrassing guy, such a guy, he doesn't even bother killing people.
"Yo, it seems that you have a good grasp."
I woke up Matou Sakura, who seemed to be in a daze, the tall crystal statue of the Madonna shook slightly, and then turned around condescendingly: "Well, this feeling is really wonderful, 'Boss'"
"Huh? Who taught you to shout like that? I want to call you the Führer" I corrected with a serious expression, and then I didn't forget to remind: "It's best not to use the Crystal Virgin to show off your height advantage in front of Pandora and Viska, they will go berserk, Don't shine in front of Little Bubble, she will rob you... "
"Well, I heard about this," Sakura said with a strange expression, "It's really dangerous to be with you."
I thought about it, and found it completely irrefutable.
The enemy has been eliminated, and Sakura has also started to disarm her armed form. She pressed twice out of thin air on the platform below her, and said softly, "Switch the form."
In the flashing blue light, the surface of the tall crystal statue of the Virgin Mary was quickly covered with cracks, and then the crystals fell like rain, making a crisp and pleasant "crash" sound, and the falling crystal fragments turned into rays of light. The dots dissipated in the air, and finally, standing in front of us was Sakura Matou who had regained her human form and was wearing the school uniform she left.
"Senior, I'm back."
With a gentle smile and a soft voice, Matou Sakura turned to Emiya and said quietly, but she did not conceal the feelings of reunion after a long absence.
"Uh, let's stop being light bulbs." I grabbed Sandora's little hand, and by the way, forcibly took the Dumb Hairy King who didn't notice anything, and left the yard together with Rider.
"Huh, they must have been chatting for a long time," Sandora rubbed her eyes and yawned softly, "Ah Jun, what do you think of what happened tonight?"
"Army of Heroic Spirits?" I tapped my swollen temples, "Artoria, you said that with human power, it is possible to summon hundreds of legions of Heroic Spirits?"
"It's absolutely impossible," King Dumao shook his head without hesitation, "Even if it's just the weak heroic spirits we met today, the magic power needed to support a heroic spirit to appear in this world is quite amazing. It's beyond the limit that any human magician can provide. If there is no such thing as command spells, humans can't even summon a heroic spirit, and such a large number of heroic spirits have signed a contract with one person... "
Sandora took it: "So many command spells can't be engraved on the eyeballs?"
Baby, your thinking is superficial.
"So, Rider, what do you think about the failure of those 'heroic spirits' transformations just now?" I turned my head and said to the silent purple-haired woman who had accepted Sakura's trial transformation and successfully became a loyal Ava Long's phantom heroic spirit (or is it called a ghost?), she has the most say in this matter.
"I don't think those are real heroic spirits," Rider shook his head, "at least they are not complete heroic spirits. Their magic power is very chaotic, and they don't see any unique skills that represent their class. fighters, but they feel different to me."
"Well, then leave the rest to professionals." I nodded thoughtfully, looking at Rider's face curiously, "I said, you shouldn't need this blindfold now, right?"
"It's just getting used to it." Rider froze for a moment, the corners of his mouth gradually curled up, and he took off the purple seal casually, "That's right, we should make a break with the past, then, from now on, I will listen to you ,boss."
I just don't know how the two major restraining forces of this world will react to our blatant act of poaching the wall. After all, through the transformation of the Crystal Virgin, it is not just a clone who joins the Avalon World Tree camp, the God of World Management The power of the law intervenes in it, and its authority is far beyond the interference of a small star-level will. Now Rider has been completely removed from the Heroic Spirit System of the Holy Grail World, and her Hall of Valor is projected in a certain subordinate space of the World Tree inside, and her projection in this world is managed by Avalon's brood. Negotiate...
I don't know how Sakura described her experience in "Mystery Paradise" these days, anyway, even if she said it, Emiya wouldn't care, in short, when the two of them reappeared in front of us, I could feel , They are even closer than before. Is this the legendary little Bie Sheng newly married
"Anyway, I should thank you for the successful development of the matter." Seeing the smiles on Emiya and Sakura's faces, Saber also bowed to us seriously, but she didn't know that the person in front of her was already planning to kill herself. Included in the heroic spirit abduction list.
Regarding the form of the Crystal Virgin Mary that Sakura showed when she appeared, I interpret it as a magic armor from Xiling Technology that can fuse with her own cells and be stored in a different space under normal conditions. Emiya and Saber were amazed. They may never understand what kind of existence the "Key of Avalon" is, but for the former, it is enough for Sakura to return safely, and as far as it is concerned, Sakura has indeed returned to her "original state". ", so everything is gratifying and congratulatory, gratifying and congratulatory.
Although the chances of Matou Shinji coming back are slim, we set up a few invisible alarm devices near the Emiya Palace and set them as the focus of surveillance in the Garden of Death. After going home, it's almost half past twelve... V
