Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

Chapter 122 The polisher announced his surrender to the dice girl (9K! Please give me a monthly ticket! Please subscribe automatically)

120. Jeanne: The heroine of this chapter is not me, but my mother! ?
Bluebeard is weak.

Shirou already knew this.

Putting aside his status as Saber, it would be a stretch to call him third-rate as a Caster. Even without being a Pseudo-Servant, Shirou could have easily killed him.

In contrast, there is the forbidden magic book in Bluebeard's hand.

It is a forbidden thing that should not exist in this world, a heretical magic book that will never be accepted by the world, and a minion of the evil god outside the multiverse world that is the source of all things.

The evil god from the outer universe, the magic book of Cthulhu——"R'lyeh Text"

The "Luoyan City Textbook" is the pronunciation of its name in the Italian region.

However, the irony is that while the world rejects such taboos, humans accept them.

The reason is even more frustrating.

Because of 'like', because of 'love'.

Human beings like 'Cthulhu', humans love 'Cthulhu', humans love the 'evil gods (outer gods)', and humans take it for granted as an 'artistic element' and regard it as a 'commodity'.

The reason is simply because 'it's fun'.

Howard Phillips Lovecraft, a modern American science fiction and horror writer, created his own series of novels, which were later named "Cthulhu Mythos" and are very popular in modern times.

It has even become a very 'fashionable' 'popular element used to make money'.

Human desires and longings give the evil gods their power.

The existence of these taboos takes advantage of 'humankind's love and pursuit of taboos in the future' - putting the cart before the horse.

Allowing them to invade the origin universe in the past time and space.

"The R'lyeh Text", this magic book itself may be just a simple human skin book, just a cursed evil book, but because of human beings' love for it in the future, human beings' wishes and desires, this book from the past is given the power of taboo from the future.

This thing could not have been recorded in the Throne of Heroes. It was impossible for the situation to happen that whenever Caster Bluebeard appeared, he would definitely have this book in his hand.

But based on human beings' love for Cthulhu mythology, it was sent to the throne of heroes.

Although Bluebeard's own strength is so weak that it can be ignored, this magic book that contains human wishes and the forbidden power of the Outer Gods is itself an exceptional existence.

In the worst case scenario, when human history collapses and historical cause and effect become a mess, this book may even actually summon the evil god from outer space.

Shirou certainly knew this, after all, he had seen the power of this thing ten years ago.

In terms of danger, this thing is even more dangerous than the Holy Grail of the Demon King.

So, even though he knew Bluebeard was weak, Shirou did not take it lightly.

Even though he successfully cut off Bluebeard with one sword, Shirou still did not relax. Instead, he became even more nervous, tensed up, and focused his attention on the magic book in Bluebeard's hand.

——Cut it off
In Shirou's hand was a sharp blade burning with the Demon-Subduing Fire of Acala. After cutting off Bluebeard, he cut the Forbidden Book in his hand into two halves. The Demon-Subduing Fire roared and tore it into pieces. Pages of unknown material scattered in the air, and one could faintly hear the wails of countless wronged souls in the burning.

Then, in the firelight, Bluebeard was killed - before he died, he stretched out his hand in Shirou's direction in a trance.

What kind of mood is he in at this moment?
Are you feeling a little more sober?
Do you feel the breath of Joan of Arc?

The soul of Jeanne d'Arc that resides in Shirou's body also subconsciously wants to hold the hand he extends to her.

Of course, that didn't happen, because Shirou was ready with full firepower, literally a human crematorium, to exorcise this crazy evil spirit along with the many flying dragons present.

Then, even the Holy Grail of the Demon King held by Bluebeard appeared in front of Shirou.

ended?
Did it end so smoothly?

——No, that’s not right.

Shirou still showed no sign of relaxing.

Even though the narration record had accurately described the result, Shirou was still tense because he felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the process: Could it be so easy to destroy this magic book?
The difficulty value is actually lower than taking the Holy Grail?

Shirou thought this was unreasonable. You know, in the Fourth Holy Grail War, this thing was equivalent to an infinite magic furnace - equivalent to a part of the body of the evil god from outer space.

It was also because of the special treasure in the hands of Diarmuid of the Shining Face from the legendary adventure group 'The Knights of Fiona' that he was able to restrain himself and easily solve the problem.

Although Diarmuid's own record in the Fourth Holy Grail War was not very good, which makes him easily underestimated, the special ability of the treasure in his hand cannot be evaluated by simple numbers.

Will there be any problems?

Is the book I cut off really the authentic R'lyeh Text?

Is this Holy Grail that appears before me really the real thing?

Is this really not a trap?

After all, Shirou had already obtained clear information from the narrator's records that 'Bluebeard has a friend'.

As for this friend, Shirou only briefly knew from Illya that his name was probably 'Francois Prelati' or 'Francesca Prelati'.

She is a magician and alchemist whose everything is a mystery. Legend has it that she was a comrade-in-arms of Joan of Arc and Bluebeard, and was also the culprit who killed Joan of Arc. The church and the association have had records of attacking her many times, but she has been secretly active until modern times.

There is absolutely no more detailed record of his abilities, except in some stories, it is said that he is a fallen angel and the incarnation of the devil from hell.

The key is!

At the same time as the Holy Grail appeared before Shirou, new narration records also appeared in the center of Shirou's vision!

Where is Georgos now?

[Georgos performs a 1D100 'Luck' check. If it is greater than 50, it means 'you are within the distance where you can get help in time'. If it is less than 50, it means 'you are within the distance where you cannot get help in time'. The smaller the number, the farther away you are. The larger the number, the closer you are.]

[Depending on the size of the luck value, it will affect the behavior of the Demon King, and may even make the Demon King (Prelati) dare not act at all.]

[Georgos's 'Luck': 1D100=3]

[Let’s not discuss what happened to Teacher Qiao for now. Anyway, Shirou can’t expect to get any help from them in the short term! ]

An incredible value!
The only thing Shirou had to be thankful for at this moment was probably the luck of the 'Demon King' who was hiding in the dark and still hesitating whether to take action. If this Demon King had a great success or something, then Shirou would have to face more than just 'not being able to wait for reinforcements'!
however!
Although Shirou, who is not good at mysticism, does not know what kind of feud there is between the saint named "Giorgios" and the demon king named "Prelati", but judging from the situation, it should be normal for the demon king to keep hiding from "Giorgios", right?
Giorgos - is that Saint George?

If it was St. George, because it was too famous, even if Shirou didn't know more in-depth information, he still had an impression of the name itself - remember that he was the patron saint of England?

Could it be that he was sent directly to England, which is very far away from France?

Anyway!
Shirou is alert to everything around him, wary of any sneak attacks that may come from the dark. What does he plan to do with the Holy Grail of the Demon King in front of him?
Should you just reach for it, or should you retreat because it's probably a trap?

Each choice makes sense.

Shirou was stuck here.

If Rin, Olga Marie, or Illya, who are not lacking in knowledge of mysticism, were present, Shirou could have directly asked them what to do.

To be honest, Shirou even had an idea in his mind: Since I don't know if this thing is a trap, why don't I just chop it directly?
After all, Shirou himself had no interest in a broken cup that could make wishes come true.

Shirou always feels that things that are not obtained through personal efforts are just illusory mirages. Without the process of hard work, even if you get them, they are worthless and meaningless.

It would be better to say that Shirou himself really wanted to chop down the Holy Grail directly.

But before setting off, Leonardo mentioned that Chaldea was now short of all resources, and recovering the Holy Grail also took into consideration recovering supplies. It seemed that Leonardo was planning to repair the Chaldea base with the recovered Holy Grail.

Well, to be honest, Shirou felt a little out of his mind.

A very outrageous idea even popped up in his mind: since he was worried that it was a trap and didn't know whether to touch it or not, why not I just guard the Holy Grail and surround the point and fight for reinforcements. Illya and Ritsuka will come sooner or later, and I can ask Illya what she thinks after they meet up.

Shirou even felt that this idea seemed - although it seemed outrageous at first glance, it seemed feasible!

Shirou briefly explained his idea to Jeanne and asked for her opinion.

['Since we don't know if the Holy Grail in front of us is a trap, we might as well not touch it. We should just surround the point and attack the reinforcements. We will stay here and kill all the enemies that approach until our companions come to join us.' - Jeanne responded to Shirou's outrageous idea.]

[Joan of Arc's 'support level': 1D100=96]

Miss Jeanne showed an expression of sudden enlightenment when she heard this: "Yes! There is a way to do this!"

Well, she didn’t think there was anything wrong with this idea at all!
Shirou is actually very self-aware of his abnormal brain and the fact that his thought processes are often criticized. After being scolded by Toosaka Rin countless times, Shirou has developed the habit of asking normal people around him for their opinions.

In other words.

Seeing that Jeanne, a 'normal person', also thought it was okay, Shirou was also sure that his idea was okay!
Shirou even felt that Miss Jeanne was inexplicably friendly!
Yes, that's right.

All Shirou has to do is kill all the invading enemies - until his companions come and reunite!
Since you can’t figure out what you’re not good at, just do your best at what you’re good at!
That is to say!

Shirou and Jeanne: "Just burn all the enemies!"

An unexpected consensus was reached!
But right now!
[What is Demon King Prelati's 'interest' in Shirou? 】

[Default interest in 'Joan of Arc' is 80]

[If the interest in Shirou exceeds this value, Demon King Prelati will adjust his strategy and give up the option of "summoning the evil dragon Fafner" which is specifically used to disgust Jeanne (Note: For details, please refer to "Fate/Apocrypha")]

【普雷拉蒂对士郎的‘兴趣’：1D50+50（目睹了士郎的表现）=50+50=100（不是？你？）】

[.Who is Jeanne? The Demon King has no interest in a woman who has been burned to ashes by him once. Her attention is now completely focused on Shirou.]

[Which 'evil dragon' she wants to summon will also be adjusted according to the situation she thinks will allow her to thoroughly enjoy the battle with Shirou.]

Shirou: “.” Wait, wasn’t it stated somewhere before that the Demon King Prelati was a female in the year 1431?
Not only the troublesome goddess is inexplicably attracted to him, but now even the female devil is doing the same? !
and many more!

Although Shirou had no idea what the connection was between Joan of Arc and the evil dragon Valrhona from German folklore.

But! An evil dragon related to Shirou?

Shirou's mind automatically thought of Azidahaka.

No? Could this demon king who came from nowhere be able to summon a dragon demon?

Shirou had heard Olga Marie say before that due to the confusion of cause and effect caused by the burning of human logic, the difficulty of using many magics had been greatly reduced.

In other words, it is not impossible for the opponent to really summon Azidahaka to fight Shirou from a magical perspective.

Shirou had never fought the Dragon Demon's true form before, but the various indirect encounters alone had left a deep impression on Shirou in many ways, and he would probably never forget it for the rest of his life.

Although, Shirou doesn't think that this Demon King Prelati can control the Dragon Demon.

But from Shirou's understanding of these freaks, these guys who have immortal bodies and can be resurrected even after death can completely disregard their own safety for the sake of pleasure and for doing "things they find interesting"!

Even if the dragon demon killed her after she summoned it, she might still feel that she was "dead happy".

Shirou's scalp tingles just thinking about it!

However, how exactly can one summon a dragon demon? Shirou is not good at this kind of brain work, so he is a little confused: Will the other party have to get the Holy Grail in order to summon a new evil dragon?

In other words, even without the Holy Grail, this Demon King Prelati has a way to summon an evil dragon?
It seems that Shirou can only make judgments based on his intuition!
[The devil is watching from the dark]

[I wonder if the Holy Grail in front of me is a trap]

[Shirou can only rely on his intuition to decide on his next course of action.]

[1/3/6, Maybe it's an empty city plan? Shirou takes the Holy Grail directly! (Additional judgment whether there is a problem)]

[2/4/7, surround the enemy and attack the reinforcements. Don't touch this Holy Grail, which may have problems. Leave it here and eliminate all enemies that approach. Wait for other teammates to join you.]

[5/9,——Prelati launches a sneak attack! ]

[8. Isabella subconsciously touches the Holy Grail]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=5】

"!?"

Before Shirou could make a decision, he suddenly realized that the atmosphere around him seemed to be wrong. Although he was surrounded by flames, Shirou suddenly felt a hint of chill!
"Enemy attack!"

Almost at the moment when Shirou shouted, a large amount of narration records flashed by, but he had no time to read them now, because the enemy's attack and the narration records appeared at the same time - he could only rely on on-the-spot reaction!

[Prelati's sneak attack——]

[1. I personally go on stage and take back the Holy Grail through "illusion"]

[2. I personally took action and tried to take Isabella hostage]

[3. Let the evil dragon servant Vlad III go and grab the Holy Grail]

[4. Send the evil dragon servant Vlad III to take hostages]

[5. Atalanta, the evil dragon servant, steals the Holy Grail]

[6. Atalanta, taking hostages]

[7. Martha, grab the Holy Grail]

[8. Martha, hostage-taking]

[9. It seems that some other servants were summoned.? ]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=3】

The sudden attack came from the shadows - this is not a metaphor, but a literal meaning, the enemy suddenly emerged from Shirou's shadow!

The spear in his hand stabbed towards Shirou's forehead!
Before Shirou could see clearly the appearance of the person attacking him, almost at the same moment, a cold wind suddenly appeared and blew straight towards the Holy Grail floating in the air!
At the critical moment! The battle for the Holy Grail!
[Who got the Holy Grail? ]

[1/4/5, Shirou decides to take the damage and go grab the Holy Grail (additional judgment)]

[2/6, Shirou endured the damage and forcibly took the Holy Grail! (Additional injury assessment)]

[3/8, Prelati regained the Holy Grail]

[7. It's too late. Shirou decides to retreat with Isabella]

[9. Isabella got the Holy Grail? (Really?)]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=9】——At this critical moment

For a moment, Shirou began to act as ruthlessly as always, intending to take the damage from the enemy and grab the Holy Grail into his own hands first.

however.

"what?"

Even Vlad III, the evil dragon servant summoned and controlled by Prelati, who launched a sneak attack on Shirou, couldn't help but let out a surprised sound.

It is said.

There is no holy grail in this world.

To be precise, the so-called "holy grail that can fulfill wishes" that conforms to the stereotype of many people actually did not exist in the first place.

The real Holy Grail is just an ordinary cup that was used by Jesus or received the blood of Jesus.

Although it has acquired mysterious properties, it is still just a cup and does not have the function of a wish-making machine.

However, countless believers and people who have wishes to be fulfilled place their hopes and wishes on the legend of the so-called "Holy Grail".

It is because countless people have this wish and have prayed for years that the Holy Grail really has the function of "granting wishes".

in other words.

The so-called Holy Grail itself is actually a container that carries people's "wishes", right?
In this case, the Holy Grail itself also has the function of responding to wishes. It is natural that it will also be attracted to people with strong wishes in their hearts, right?
Then, the current situation may be inevitable.

Vlad is not interested in the Holy Grail, no matter if he is controlled by the evil dragon or not, he is not interested in the Holy Grail. He is a passionate - crazy but rational fanatic. In his eyes, the Lord is a spiritual sustenance, an object of worship and protection, not a wish-making machine for "hoping that the other party will realize his wishes."

Shirou had no interest in the Holy Grail. He didn't talk about how this thing functioned, whether there were any pitfalls in the wish-fulfilling mechanism, or whether he would encounter a contaminated Holy Grail. Shirou had always been a down-to-earth person.

Rather, if Chaldea hadn't needed it, Shirou would have chopped down this thing that disrupted the times long ago.

Prelati also has no interest in the Holy Grail. He is a hedonistic demon king, a monster who ravages all living beings with malicious intent and gains pleasure from it. This kind of enjoyment must be experienced personally, and it would be meaningless to make a wish with the Holy Grail.

That's right!

Although it was bizarre and outrageous, in this battle for the Holy Grail, no one was actually interested in the Holy Grail - no one had a strong desire to realize the Holy Grail!
There was only one person, only one exception, that one 'ordinary person' who seemed to be ignored by the three warring parties.

The Holy Grail, the carrier of wishes, radiates dazzling light only in her eyes.

——She subconsciously reached out to the Holy Grail.

next moment!
The Holy Grail actually transformed itself into a ray of light—and penetrated into her body!

Who could have expected such a result!

Although the Holy Grail of the Demon King is actually a mass-produced product, it is essentially just a super-high-density crystallization of magic power - if you really want to calculate it, it is actually far less advanced than the "R'lyeh Text".

But in a battle, whoever has one more of this thing will obviously have a greater advantage!

——Just right!
"Isabella! Use the power of the Holy Grail to protect yourself!" Shirou shouted loudly.

"Ah?" Isabella, who obviously didn't understand how she got the Holy Grail, was at a loss.

[Difficulty: 75]

[Isabella's 'Understanding': 1D100=71]

Isabella failed to comprehend the situation—

In other words, it is impossible that Joan of Arc's mother was actually a hidden powerful magician or witch.

Although she had potential, she never got the opportunity to display it in normal history and was lost in history in obscurity. It seems that it cannot be said that her greatest achievement related to "mystery" in her life was probably giving birth to Joan of Arc, right?
However, in the current tense battle, Shirou obviously cannot expect the enemy to be the kind of person who is very principled and will not attack his master.
Vlad III might have had this kind of moral integrity when he was sober, but the devil Prelati who maliciously played with Joan of Arc and Bluebeard was obviously not such a good person!

(Fighting both of them at the same time with a burden.)

Obviously, this is not realistic.

Well then - well, Shirou would have to use his old method.

That's right, the way that allowed Isabella to at least protect herself was 'that'. Shirou had learned how to use magic directly from the magic invented by Toosaka Rin.

Shirou must immediately activate the potential of Isabella's 'magic circuit'! Not asking her to fight right away, but at least letting her know how to use the power of the Holy Grail to protect herself!
(I am offended)

Shirou thought silently in his mind.

"Ah?" Jeanne didn't have time to understand what Shirou was going to do and was completely unable to react.

Even the enemies Vlad III and Prelati did not seem to expect Shirou to do this -

Shirou held Isabella in his arms like a princess, with a cry of "Ah!?"

At the same time, blazing flame magic suddenly exploded beneath Shirou's feet, and the violent shock wave carried the two of them into the sky.

"Honestly, I can't imagine how I can hide my tracks safely and evacuate you safely without being tracked by the other party."

Shirou said to Isabella with apologetic look:
"So I have to kill them right here."

Isabella: ".Ah?"

Prelati: “?” Is this right?

Joan of Arc quite agrees with this: "Indeed! I think so too!"

[What is Vlad III's 'attitude (interest)' towards Shirou? ]

[If it exceeds 80, Vlad III can overcome the manipulation and give Shirou some tips during the battle]

[1D100=99 (No? Did you see the high jump too? Well, Vlad III is the only one in the original work who can overcome the manipulation to a certain extent, maintain mental clarity and give hints to the protagonist. This can be considered a restoration of the original work, right?)]

Vlad III couldn't help laughing: "Hahaha! This young savior is more interesting to me than you, the servant (Prelati)!"

However, what Shirou actually did next stunned everyone present except Prelati.

Shirou thinks: This is the time when 'it's not a matter of whether or not you can do it, but a time when you must do it'

So, even if Rin knew, she would helplessly think that Shirou did nothing wrong, right?
After all, the only option now is to 'kill all enemies immediately'.

In order to achieve this, what should Shirou do?

Answer: Spiritual healing
Vlad: “???”

Jeanne: "Wait, wait, wait!!!??"

Isabella: "Eh-hmm!?"

This is indeed the only option at the moment.

Shirou was alone and not good at sophisticated magic, so it was impossible for him to hide his tracks and escape with Isabella, a burden, while being hunted by the 'Demon King'.

So we can only fight here.

For this, Shirou can only gamble!

Gamble - it only takes one session of spiritual magic to teach Isabella the "knowledge", so that she knows how to use magic power and how to use the Holy Grail to protect herself!

After all, the enemy obviously would not give Shirou the opportunity to continue using Summoning Magic on Isabella until he learned it.

Shirou only has one chance!
Even though something seemed a little off, from Shirou's perspective, this was really his only choice.

After all, Shirou couldn't just disregard Isabella's safety. If he did that, he wouldn't be Shirou.

After all, in nature, this is no different from artificial respiration, right?
Psychic magic.jpg
【Emergency! 】

【You only have one chance! 】

[Shirou activates the summoning magic, trying to let Isabella learn the "how to use magic" so that she can protect herself with the Holy Grail - this way, Shirou can fight the Demon King Prelati and Vlad with ease! ]

[If he fails, because he still needs to take the time to protect Isabella, Shirou will suffer a certain debuff during the battle]

[Difficulty: 50]

[Shirou's 'Inspiration': 1D100=13]

[Isabella's 'Inspiration': 1D100=99 (Dice Girl, what do you mean?)]

There is no doubt that Shirou can indeed say that "my heart and my actions are as clear as a mirror, and everything I do is just." He really just wants to protect ordinary passers-by who are involved in extraordinary battles.

Shirou had absolutely no intention of taking advantage of the situation to snoop into Isabella's memory!
On the contrary, it was Isabella who, because of the inexplicable strong sense of familiarity with Shirou that came from Jeanne d'Arc, made her unconsciously desire to know more about Shirou even though she had no idea what was going on.

Maybe there is a Holy Grail effect involved as well?

As a result, Isabella not only learned how to use magic, but also learned everything about Shirou - that is, she knew that at this moment, her daughter's soul was also in the body of the boy in front of her.

Even if you regain your memories, you may not be able to fully understand the twists and turns of this mysterious world.

In other words, in Isabella's eyes, Shirou was like an angel from heaven.
He brought his daughter's soul with him - no, it should be said that it was his daughter's soul that wanted to protect herself, so it moved the angel in front of him and made him come to his side.

Isabella knew what Shirou was planning to do.

She also knew what Shirou wanted her to do.

All you need to do is pray. Although the Holy Grail of the Demon King is just a high-density crystal of magic power, it does have a certain degree of power to "protect itself" within the range of magic power.

As a person of the era of 1431, as a devout believer, all she could do was -

prayer.

Kneel on the ground, hold your hands in front of your chest, put your palms together, pray to God, ask for the protection of angels, and keep the devil away from you.

God might not answer her prayers.

But the Holy Grail of the Demon King will.

The power of the Holy Grail forms a barrier that keeps out all malicious attacks!

Not only that, Shirou could also clearly feel that there was a magical power of light with a strong sacred aura continuously flowing into his body from Isabella!

Seeing this, Vlad's expression relaxed slightly:
"Well, although the process feels a bit too fantastic, the result is still good - Fallen Angel, it seems that your conspiracy will not succeed. If it goes on like this, if it drags on for too long, maybe the person you fear the most (Georges/Saint George) will come, right?

How about listening to my advice? Fallen Demon King, we should retreat now and summon more Servants in the future, which may be the best solution. "

At first glance, Vlad's words seemed to be genuinely giving Prelati advice.

But Shirou already knew from the narration that although Vlad was being manipulated, his mind was still clear. These words were actually intelligence hints for Shirou.

First: Even without the Holy Grail of the Demon King, Prelati seems to have the ability to summon evil dragon servants. It is conceivable that her magic level is probably very, very high.

Second: Somewhere in this singularity, there are reinforcements from Shirou's side - Shirou knows that this person is referring to 'Georgios (Saint George)' - and, in Vlad's opinion, the strength of this reinforcement is so strong that Vlad believes that even if Prelati summons a large number of servants, Shirou's side will still win.

Translation: Vlad still advises Shirou to retreat. If they continue fighting now, Prelati still has a killer move in his hand - but as long as he joins up with Georgios, it will be tantamount to declaring Shirou's victory.

(Is Georgos really that strong? Or is Georgos very strong against the Demon King Prelati?)

Shirou frowned slightly.

Although Vlad's suggestion sounded reasonable, he and Joan of Arc still felt that it would be best to decide the outcome right here and now - even if Prelati had lost the Holy Grail, he might still have some hidden killer moves, but... at least they should take this opportunity to force them out and see, right?
Who has the choice?
In Prelati's hands.

If Prelati really loses face (does she really have such a thing?) and runs away, without Rin, Olga Marie, and Illya as the ones responsible for mysticism by her side, Shirou really has no way to deal with it.

Shirou decided to provoke and force Prelati to fight him here!
(You can't be a thief for a thousand days! How can I sleep peacefully if I don't know what her hidden trump card is!)
Vlad's judgment might be correct, but it was too conservative. Shirou was obviously not that kind of person!

"Are you going to run away?" Shirou said coldly, "I heard that there are seven or nine deadly sins in the Christian system, but I didn't expect there is such a thing as a demon king of the 'sin of weakness'."

A very poor provocation.
Vlad's face was full of helplessness, and the expression on his face when he looked at Shirou, the unparalleled killer, was almost as if he was saying "Why don't you just withdraw and go find Georgios?"

In this regard, Prelati——

[Prelati seems to want to escape and hide in the dark again]

[Shirou hopes to fight her right now - maybe he can't decide the winner in one go, but at least he can find a way to reveal some of her trump cards! ]

[Requirement: 100]

[Shirou's 'Provocation Effect': 1D100=56]

[Preladi's 'Will to Fight (Interest in Shirou)': 1D100=93]

[Total: 149]

"—Me? Escape?"

Prelati suddenly covered his face and couldn't help laughing towards the sky, as if he had heard something extremely funny!

"Hahaha! Hahaha! - Don't worry! Rather, you should not blame me for being a scoundrel. After all, being immortal and indestructible, being able to do whatever I want is a blessing (curse) bestowed upon me by humans, and it is my 'duty' as a demon king!
——If you want to fight, then fight!!!"

Prelati raised his right hand, and with this simple movement, everything around him disappeared. The burning Domremi and all the hot breath completely disappeared, and was replaced by biting cold wind and snow!

The world has been distorted by its inherent barrier! ?
No, something seems to be wrong. Although the effect is almost the same as the inherent barrier, and even more domineering than the ordinary inherent barrier, it is still not perfect as an inherent barrier. What kind of ability is this?

"It's an illusion." Vlad's voice reached Shirou's ears through the snowstorm, "It's not a trick to deceive the vision, but an illusion that 'covers reality with one's own fantasy'——"

Vlad's voice was forcibly cut off.

Obviously, Prelati would not allow him to fight against his manipulation any longer.

Prelati curled his lips and said, "As a monster cursed by humans, I thought you would turn to my side sooner or later, so I kept a hand on you."

Then, Prelati raised her hand, and on her raised right hand -

“Speaking of which, I’m sure you must have guessed it, the history reviser, yes, this is one of my trump cards - in this era in 1431, I have not yet given this book to Gilles (Gilles de Rais)!
What you burned was just a replica of the Throne of Heroes - the original from 1431 is still in my hands!"

That is - the real "R'lyeh Text"!
"Let me show you! I'm the lost paradise of the fallen angels in the legend - people call me 'Beelzebub (the devil of gluttony)'!"

Because his 'real name' was too famous, Prelati felt that he could no longer hide it at this point, so he just said it out loud.

Shirou: “.” So you are this demon king?
