Chapter 762 - 28: Tamamo no Mae Demon Consort
Chapter 762 - 28: Tamamo no Mae Demon Consort
Due to the sudden occurrence, almost everyone was caught off guard.It wasn’t until they confirmed what a shocking scene they had seen, and heard Miss Altria’s furious voice and that woman’s cold voice, that they suddenly grasped the situation.
At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt an inexplicable fear striking his mind.
What kind of overwhelming power can instantaneously cross such a vast distance and suppress Miss Altria’s will so unreasonably?! To know that she is not an ordinary Servant, yet she had no strength to resist, this result is overly magical.
Ignoring the blonde, sapphire-eyed swordswoman’s roar, her body moved like a puppet on strings, the Holy Sword in her hand once again gathered a clear and cold light——
Sword of Oath and Victory!
True Name Release!
Directed at the few individuals who had just been blasted away, the concentrated magic power was terrifyingly strong; even from a great distance, one could feel the magic in the atmosphere rapidly converging towards that exquisite Holy Sword as if it were a piece of fine craftsmanship.
From a magic power perspective, it’s a spectacular scene, countless radiances converging in the same direction.
Chaldea’s people instinctively wanted to step forward to stop it, but were blocked by other Servants, completely unable to break through their defense line, only able to anxiously watch this spectacle unfold.
"...!!"
At the same time, in the forest, the faces of the three who had just struggled to stand up slightly froze; having suddenly been hit by the close-range burst of the Sword of Oath and Victory’s "Wind King’s Iron Hammer" earlier, it also inflicted significant wounds on them.
If not for their own endurance which had been strengthened, and Altria’s magic power being relatively limited in the haste——
It would undoubtedly have been a severe blow; those with lesser defense would probably be forced to exit immediately, and the forthcoming Oath Cannon now, no matter what, is absolutely impossible to face head-on. This blast of Treasure will definitely dispatch them decisively back to the Heroic Spirit Throne.
"Her Imperial Highness the Consort..."
Gao Wen supported his Holy Sword, speaking with a bitter smile, understanding naturally what was happening by looking at the helpless king.
Such terrifying power is fitting for that unfathomable celestial god; however, it’s a pity this Demon Consort is somewhat heartless, as all her love and tenderness is only given to that one individual... They also find this situation awkward; since for Servants the biggest fear is encountering such a dilemma.
"If there’s anything else to say, communicate it all now."
That alluring voice stated calmly.
"We sincerely apologize, but there’s absolutely no way we can just stand by and watch this..." Lancelot said in a low voice, his face full of shame; their unwavering loyalty to King Arthur is real, and thus going against their current stance is also real, naturally feeling a heart full of struggle.
"Whatever punishment you deem fit for us, it’s justified, but please be lenient with them..."
Tristan, who had been silent, also quietly spoke.
"Hmph."
The voice said no more, only a displeased snort, then used Altria’s body, exerting a force comparable to Command Spells, forcing the girl to reluctantly swing the Sword of Oath and Victory.
Even as she vented her anger with all her might in resistance, yet that force was like Command Spells being issued every moment with compulsory commands.
Naturally——
The Dragon’s Factor, freed from constraints, accelerated into a flash, this surging stream rolled up countless whirlpools, dazzling white light burned everything, turning the land ahead into scorched earth completely, the forest along the path couldn’t even manage to burn, it simply turned to ashes and vanished!
"It’s over now..."
That voice transformed into a cold tone, seemingly ready to end this farce.
In this moment, facing such a despairing scene, a sense of helplessness rose in the hearts of all the enemies; the faint glimmer of hope they had just barely seen suddenly shattered, that monstrous being only heard, not seen, was already showcasing irresistible power.
And there were so many Servants glaring across, making it even more despairing.
"..."
"..."
Just then, everything abruptly fell into silence.
The female voice ceased to speak, and Miss Altria, forced to control her body, maintained the posture of swinging the sword, even though she tightly closed her eyes, didn’t dare to look at the result of the Oath Cannon, nor made any further motions.
In this suffocating silence, not much time passed, yet it felt like an eternity.
The voice snorted coldly with irritation again: "Forget it, imprison them all——!!"
Imprison them...
Chaldea’s people momentarily could not react, but even without understanding exactly what happened, they keenly sensed that for some reason the woman’s attitude had abruptly undergone some subtle change.
"Ah, it seems that one has just taken notice, possibly having just returned from the Moon..."
Astolfo squinted his eyes, made a couple of sounds, then looked over at the vast forest that had been evaporated by a white light, with a slightly regretful tone he said.
"We didn’t make it in time, it would have been better if we arrived earlier..."
"That’s not necessarily the case..." said the Servant who had used the spear, shaking his head with a serious tone. "With the choices and actions made by Mr. Gao Wen and the others, Her Imperial Highness the Consort would not have let it go, and now is actually the best outcome, allowing everyone some dignity."
"You’re right."
Astolfo thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement. This dashing cross-dressing young beauty turned his head to face the people of Chaldea:
"Alright, alright, you all heard it. And it looks like you all know me, right? So please cooperate, don’t make things difficult for me... After all, whether it’s from the standpoint of a Servant, or from having eaten their food for so many years, we have no choice."
This rationally dissipated cross-dressing knight chuckled a few times.
He didn’t seem angry at all about what happened earlier, instead, he seemed very curious about the people of Chaldea.
......
...
Germany.
The north wind howled, and snow covered the sky.
Amongst the swirling snowflakes, in the mountain region near a certain river, this mysterious and seldom-trodden land had somehow sprouted a towering spire piercing the heavens, like a bizarre giant lance stabbing straight into the earth.
This place originally belonged to the main stronghold of the Einzbern Family, known as the "Winter City." An ancient city with over two thousand years of history was located here, built by the disciples of the Third Mage, and has existed since the first year of the Common Era as a magic workshop.
However—
After someone used an illusion technique to take away the entire ancient city, this land became empty and desolate.
Until today, when this ancient land was put to use again, it being an excellent Spirit Vein Land chosen by the Einzbern Family, and to prevent outside interference, it had been carefully sealed off, making it the most suitable experimental site.
Standing amidst the falling snow, a young man in white with black hair had his robe fluttering in the wind, his eyes shone with a deep azure, reflecting the entire planet’s order within his star pupils.
"It’s slightly off, but the issue isn’t significant, let’s just consider it as prototype number 1, let it run for a while to collect some data..."
Shortly, the light in his eyes dimmed, and Gu Mo nodded thoughtfully.
After summoning the Goddess Rengominia, he naturally obtained a sample of the Gun of the End, the legendary Star Anchor, the Tower at the End of the World. Even with the thirteen constraints restricting its true power, it still radiated a stellar brilliance, and thanks to those constraints, it barely took form as a Treasure.
Even so, its constant state reached Level A++...
In Gu Mo’s hands, it was displayed as a pale red quality legendary rank, making him somewhat tempted.
However, as the boss, he wasn’t going to pocket his underling’s items; he was purely borrowing it to observe its structure and attempt to analyze its principles. Referencing King Morgan of the British Anomaly Zone, the highest-ranked Fairy, who even acquired the Gun of the End as magic.
Gu Mo used this as a reference and began trying to replicate it.
He wasn’t a genius magician of the Divine Domain, but compared to Morgan, he also had his own advantages... Moreover, Goddess Rengominia, in a sense, personified the Gun of the End, and she assisted by providing technical support to analyze herself, which naturally was a great aid.
The experimental prototype of the first tower had commenced and was functioning quite successfully, exhibiting similar capabilities, yet being a first-generation replica, it still had many deficiencies, and its strength couldn’t compare to the true artifact. This, however, proved that his approach had no issues.
"So my work has been satisfactory then, Your Majesty?"
Beside him, watching quietly and holding an umbrella to shield him from the wind and snow, a young woman in lavish attire beamed brightly, saying this with a spirited demeanor.
Her face was full of tenderness, and her low-pitched, gentle voice made it hard to imagine that it was just her, callously striking the other side of the Earth at Fuyuki City with an unforeseen over-the-horizon attack, clearing the area with ruthless efficiency, and showcasing fearsome means.
"Of course, you did exceptionally well..."
Gu Mo turned his gaze towards her, unabashed in his praise, though his expression remained somewhat subtle.
Because... Miss Fox Spirit currently appeared as Oda Chi.
After all, it was an effect of the manifested Anomaly Records, and the Anomaly Records were uploaded by him. In this historical timeline in the Fate World turned into Anomaly Records, that wedding couldn’t be bypassed as a node... but at that time, Miss Fox Spirit had taken Miss Ah Shi’s form to execute the plan of removing the peach instead of Li.
So...
In this Anomaly Domain, the history followed the records publicly available, resulting in certain adjustments.
Thus, watching her now made Gu Mo feel quite peculiar.
Especially with Miss Ah Shi’s innocent, pure appearance but exhibiting such a ruthless Demon Consort style, to be precise, her emotions were overly extreme, as if all her tenderness and love were reserved for him, making her indifferent and merciless towards unrelated individuals—
This disparity was indeed very strong.
