97. They kidnapped a man in broad daylight!
[(Fuck, I flipped through the previous content and suddenly realized that when judging the results of the practice of "Human Magnetism Martial Arts" in the past ten years, Illya was missing, and no one told me to add it here)]

[(How has Illya's 'Human Magnetism' been cultivated over the past ten years?)]

【(Difficulty: 75)】

[(A value greater than this is equivalent to mastering the 'human magnetism'. Above this, the higher the value, the better the results. Great success means that you have reached the level of initial mastery of the 'magnetic field'. Further growth requires special experiences and tempering.)]

【(1D100=96)】

☆Main content☆
——Considering that the situation on the other side might affect Shirou, the time will be slightly adjusted back.

Before Shirou and the Storm King decide the outcome.

[Specifically, the battle between Ritsuka, Othinus, and Olga Marie and the archers is as follows]

[1/3, make a confrontation judgment]

[2/4/5, still no winner]

【6/7/8、奥尔加玛丽有不祥的预感(奥尔加玛丽进行50的灵感判定与75的勇气判定,如果都通过,她会采取冒风险的行动)】

[9. Othinus judged that it was very difficult to capture them, so he directly launched a surprise attack and eliminated the archers (expanded from the original work)]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=7】

—Olga Marie has no talent.

As a celestial magician, she should be considered a 'genius', but she has a monstrous senior brother 'Kirshtalia Wodem' in front of her.

The fluorescence of rotten grass is not worthy of looking up at the bright moon in the sky.

As the heir of Chaldea, she does not have the talent as a researcher and cannot be cruel enough to conduct cruel experiments on various "experimental animals".

Without the adaptability to soul particle transfer, he does not have the talent to become a Master - there is no possibility of becoming a 'hero who saves the world'.

It's only natural that my father would abandon me early.

The inheritance of a magician is not essentially the inheritance of bloodline, but the inheritance of 'knowledge and research'.

However, because magicians of all generations have more or less modified their own bodies and those of their offspring to make their bloodlines more suitable for conducting research on their own family - in many cases, it is not wrong to say that magicians value the inheritance of their bloodlines.

but.

If such a person appears: he has no blood relationship with your family, but he shows adaptability to your family research far beyond your own, and he is also interested in your research and wants to inherit and pass on your research - then, as a magician, what will you choose?

The answer is: Even if the other party is not interested in inheriting your research, you should choose him! If you really face this situation, you should find a way to take over his body, or brainwash him to make him loyal to your research!
What? You have another child in your family who is related to you and is also very talented?
Choose between the two?

Then, the magician will choose the first one without hesitation.

When Kirshtalia appeared, Olga Marie, who was originally an "ordinary and unappreciated" person in the family, was directly swept into a corner.

Because of Kirshtalia's friendliness, if nothing unexpected happened, the best outcome for Olga Marie would be to be married to Kirshtalia, or to accept Kirshtalia's "marriage".

Although she was marrying into the family, everyone knew that Kirshtalia was the rising star that everyone was looking forward to.

Animusphia was no longer Olga Marie's "main family".

Fail, die, fail, die

Failure was a constant in Olga Marie's life, and the few people she held dear kept dying one by one.

Olga Marie is actually quite good.

She is a natural stargazer. In many ancient legends, people like her are often witches who guide warriors, sages beside kings, and prophets who can foresee the future.

But in the areas where she was good at, Kirshtalia was better than her, and not just a little bit better.

Stargazers can see the future.

Olga Marie's own future star was only dim.

After much difficulty, due to the unexpected death of her father, she accepted Chaldea and became the director of Chaldea. However, she was faced with a huge mess and various difficult-to-deal-with dark histories of Chaldea.

When observing the disappearance of the human crisis in the future, Olga Marie was actually both scared and excited.

What is scary is that when the future disappears, the stargazer's ability to predict the future will almost become ineffective, and the stargazer will instinctively feel fear, but what is exciting is that crisis means opportunity, and if she can resolve the incident, then she can accomplish a true feat of saving the world.

But in the end it failed.

Everything became a mess.

If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Ritsuka and Shirou, everything would have been ruined.

Olga Marie, who had almost given up on herself, unexpectedly received "encouragement" from Shirou.

What a gentle person...

But Olga Marie hated gentle people.

She hated her gentle senior brother 'Kirshtalia Wadham'.

She hated her gentle senior sister, Ophelia Farmsolone.

She hates her gentle colleague 'Romani Ajman'.

Because gentle people are always gentle to everyone, but a timid and cowardly child like Olga Marie can easily misunderstand it, thinking that it is special and gentle only to herself.

But Shirou's gentleness is different from theirs.

Shirou is different from them. He will not "accommodate" Olga Marie's weakness and weakness because of his gentleness. He will not say to Olga Marie, "If you can't do it, then relax and hide behind, we will help you deal with it."

Shirou told her, "I need you."

There is nothing special about this.

Shirou said this simply because Olga Marie could do something that Shirou himself could not.

But to Olga Marie, these were words more precious than gold.

He would ask Olga Marie for advice and knowledge, and in order to use the power of the golden sword, he would replenish magic with Olga Marie to obtain the mythological information of 'Storm King' and 'Athena'.

Being recognized, being needed, and being treated so gently.

Children who lack love will always easily feel that the recognition expressed by others inadvertently is something precious and unforgettable.

but.

Whether something is precious to someone is a very subjective thing, right?

So there is no need to be too demanding.

Olga Marie secretly made up her mind——

I must do something.

Something has to be done.

Although Shirou asked her for help, the team members gathered together to discuss and assign their respective tasks. Shirou also said to her, "I don't have your knowledge, so in emergencies, you do what you think is right - it doesn't matter if you fail, we are still here."

There is nothing special about this statement itself.

Shirou was just thinking seriously and speaking honestly as always.

But it filled Olga Marie with determination.

——Olga Marie, Ritsuka, and Othinus have two main tasks.
First: Pin down the archers
Second: Capture the archer and turn her into material to help Ritsuka heal her wounds
Theoretically, the second task can be solved by Shirou after he wins the battle, so they only need to delay it to a minimum.

--but

[Inspiration Difficulty: 50]

[Olga Marie's 'Inspiration': 1D100=74]

Originally, Olga Marie was hiding in the back, behind the chaos between the archer, Ritsuka, and Othinus, running away with Avalon in her scabbard - her mission was to wait for Ritsuka and Othinus in front to create an opportunity to suppress the archer, and then come out to use Avalon to interfere with the archer, and then preside over the "Sub-Servant Transformation" ceremony.

But right now!
Olga Marie suddenly had a horrifying feeling in her heart!
For stargazers, 'premonition' is something that cannot be ignored.

After all, the difference in status between stargazers and prophets is minimal.

An idea suddenly emerged in Olga Marie's mind: Shirou might face the threat of "death" directly in the battle with Athena!

This immediately made her panic!

Especially when she was running away in front of Ryuudou Temple, even though she was across most of Fuyuki City, she could clearly feel the devastating aftermath of the battle between Shirou and Caster and between Athena and the Storm King.

She was frightened.

And her sudden 'premonition' as a 'stargazer (prophet)' made her think that she had to do something.

If we don’t do something, we might face an extremely dangerous situation next!
(We must find a way to quickly end the battle here and free up more combat power!)
Is there any method?
Have.

An extremely dangerous thought flashed through Olga Marie's mind.

The idea, which was extremely dangerous to her, was simple: to imitate what Ritsuka had done in the past.

Olga Marie, a weak being that was totally ignored by the enemy, suddenly broke into the battle, approached the archers, and then triggered the power of Avalon to attract the archers' attention.

The archer - Emiya Shiori is not an ordinary Heroic Spirit Servant.

She is a "guardian" who has signed a contract with the restraining force that protects humanity, or the "alaya-vijnana" that Othinus and Athena call the "unreliable guarantee mechanism for the survival of mankind".

Strictly speaking, ordinary Heroic Servants do not have the responsibility to "save the world". In fact, many times, the abnormal appearances of certain Heroic Servants are the culprits that lead to world crises.

However, the guardians who sign a contract with the Alaya-vijnana will obtain a special spiritual base and receive support from the Alaya-vijnana. In return, the guardians are obliged to appear in the world to help solve problems when "people call for heroes."

Because of their special spiritual base, Guardians have special resistance to some special negative effects. Although they are all pollution servants, the self part of the archers cannot be completely eliminated.

In other words, the reason why the archer was hostile to Shirou and the others was simply because her 'anti-magic skill' was too low, causing her to be controlled by contamination.

If I could improve her anti-magic power, maybe I could help her regain consciousness.

Olga Marie: “.”

But no matter what, Olga Marie's idea is still too dangerous. It is a miracle that Ritsuka, the last person who did this, is still alive.

To Olga Marie, being killed by the archers was no different from chopping melons and vegetables.

Of course, Shirou knew himself very well, so before the battle, he gave Olga Marie a small gift that could be used to protect herself when facing the threat of archers, but that was based on the premise that Olga Marie herself did not take the initiative to go forward and "die".

Olga Marie: “.”

Olga Marie's courage is being tested

[Difficulty: 75]

[1D100=99 (Fearless!)]

"Hold your head high! Stupid Mary! You are the director of Chaldea, it is your responsibility to protect your employees!"

That's right!

Olga Marie told herself with what Shirou once said: This is not a choice of whether to do it or not, but something that must be done!

Olga Marie takes action!

She is also a magician! Although she is not specialized in combat, her level as a magician is still very good!
She also knows runes!
Protection from wind! Protection from arrows! Runes of explosion, runes of protection, runes of strengthening physical fitness!

Generally, magicians from large families receive elite education within their families, and they are only in name only at the Clock Tower School - but Olga Marie is different!
Although Olga Marie was nominally the first heir to the throne of the Astronomical Monarch, she had long been expelled from her family. Therefore, she had no elite education from her family at all. She did go to school honestly!

That is to say-

"For modern clock tower magicians, martial arts is a must! I have also learned martial arts related to celestial bodies, such as Tai Chi and Baguazhang!"

You can't graduate if you fail the martial arts exam!

Given Olga Marie's character, she would certainly not use her family power to take advantage of the back door!
Although I have basically abandoned this aspect after graduation, if I can't even do something as simple as blowing up a marble tablet with one punch, I won't be able to graduate from the Clock Tower as a magician!

Although he is certainly not as good as a real martial artist, nor as good as a martial arts prodigy like Rin Tohsaka, he is certainly not comparable to a heroic spirit.
But as long as she uses enhanced magic, she is definitely not the stereotypical short-legged wizard in the game!
Take a deep breath—

Try to recall what you practiced on the training ground at school.

Even though most magicians who are no longer on the front line have almost forgotten everything after graduation, there is a saying that "a trained body won't lie to you". Even if you have forgotten it, your body still remembers it!

on!
charge!

Climbing over obstacles, dodging the stray arrows from the archer, Ritsuka, and Othinus's firepower network, while Ritsuka was attracting hatred, Olga Marie tried to rely on her "weakness" to attack the archer unexpectedly!

[Olga Marie tries hard to recall the content of the "Martial Arts Exam" when she was still studying in the Clock Tower, and tries to get around the archer unexpectedly! ]

[Difficulty: 100 (After all, she is Olga Marie, so the difficulty is maxed out)]

[Even if she fails, Olga Marie can still sacrifice herself and rush to the front of the archer - after all, Ritsuka is a dodge tank with full taunt.]

[But if she fails, even if Olga Marie completes the mission, she will be in danger (additional damage determination based on the percentage of her maximum health)]

[Olga Marie's 'I also passed the martial arts exam with honor! (How much do you remember? / Martial arts talent)': 1D100=100]

[Give the brave a blessing of luck! (The additional correction for the great success of courage above is not included in the difficulty): 1D100=60]

[Total: 160]

——Unbelievable
To be honest, this was the first time Olga Marie had "moved her body" like this - to be more precise, it was the first time Olga Marie had encountered a situation where she could only rely on her own physical fitness.

Martial arts is indeed a compulsory course for modern magicians, but that is only for magicians of civilian origin.

Olga Marie can actually skip the test.

The reason why she really took part in the martial arts exam was simply because she was stubborn and wanted to prove that she could do without relying on her family. She also knew very well that even if she got good results in the martial arts exam, the family would not take it seriously.

Because of this, although Olga Marie took the martial arts exam which was a 'compulsory course', in reality she was just practicing casually - after all, it was a martial arts exam for magicians.

If there is enhanced magic, it is not difficult for a magician to demolish a wall with bare hands, as long as the level is not too low or the level as a magician is not too poor physically.

Olga Marie just practiced casually and passed the exam easily.

But after that, I graduated and started working, and I didn’t delve into it any further.

--but

At this moment, Olga Marie felt unprecedentedly that when her body moved, it was so easy and so - refreshing.

Great.

Olga Marie thought to herself: It turns out I still remember all those things I learned at the last minute almost ten years ago.

"What? It turns out I'm a bit good at martial arts."

It seemed as if the movements of the enemies in the field of vision had slowed down.

Under the cover of Ritsuka's hatred, Olga Marie successfully went behind the archer.

Then, he poured his magic power into the scabbard Avalon in his left hand.

Avalon's magical fluctuations instantly attracted the archer's attention. She turned around and faced Olga Marie, and her fierce slash arrived in front of Olga Marie at almost the same time -

If it hits, Olga Marie's head will definitely be split open on the spot, right?

But Olga Marie reacted.

In time, with the hand that was not holding the scabbard, he threw out the "self-defense gadget" that Shirou had given to Olga Marie before the battle, saying that it could be used to "effectively target me."

That is - a Buddha statue.

A Buddha statue carved by Shirou himself.

The male body representing the Dharma and the female body representing wisdom are 'merged into one' in the Tantric Buddhist statue. The male body represents the Dharma, and the female body represents wisdom. The male and female bodies embrace each other, indicating that the Dharma and wisdom are both complete and merged into one person.

Of course, from the perspective of the simple moral concepts of the vast majority of Oriental people, this kind of "Happy Buddha" is actually part of Buddhism, and most people will simply find it "unsightly".

——The key is this ‘unsightly’ idea!

It is disgusting and unbearable to look at - but it is indeed a Buddha statue, containing mysterious concepts and meanings.

Therefore, as long as you throw this thing at the critical moment, as long as the opponent is someone with sharp eyesight and can clearly capture the entire appearance of the 'Happy Buddha' in an instant - then he will be hit!

Although the actual effect is only a "momentary interruption".

But enough!

The better your eyesight, the easier it is to be caught off guard!
If it is a 'magic eye' - an 'eye with special powers', then the defense effect will be even better!

And Shirou has a good eye!

As the female version of Shirou's archer, Miss Emiya Shiori's dynamic vision is of course first-class!
Eagle eyes! Clairvoyance!
Therefore, in a split second, she clearly "imprinted" all the details of the exquisitely carved 'Happy Buddha' on her retina!

"!!!"

Although she was a polluted Servant, everyone present seemed to be able to hear that Miss Archer seemed to be making some kind of female scream.

The blade that was originally heading for Olga Marie's head suddenly deviated - and ended up cutting the statue of the Laughing Buddha in half!

She was in a state of confusion!
Olga Marie avoided this fatal first attack!
——But that’s not enough!
The archer is a dual-blade warrior, and she also has a sword in her hand. Olga Marie must hold her breath and dodge the second sword before the attacks of her companions, Ritsuka and Othinus, arrive, and then get out of the danger zone!
In this way, Ritsuka and Othinus will be able to use sufficiently powerful moves to cover the archers with firepower!

Olga Marie once again faces a test——

but.

Something incredible happened.

Olga Marie suddenly heard a voice: "Leave it to me next."

To Olga Marie, it was an extremely unfamiliar little girl's voice.

The voice first came from the scabbard of Avalon - then came to Olga Marie's mind, and finally came out of Olga Marie's own 'mouth'!
At this time no one knew what kind of miracle this was!
[↑ Olga Marie's great success reward]

Illyasviel's soul, which had been in deep sleep in Avalon, had unexpectedly awakened!

Olga Marie's gray hair turned snow-white, and her eyes changed from their original light gold to a deep red - a change of person!

Boom!
Illya controlled Olga Marie's body, deftly dodged the archer's attack in a state of confusion, and kicked her away with a roundhouse kick!

Nineteen-year-old Illyasviel - in the past ten years, although her body has not grown up because she is a cyborg, in order to exercise her body, she has been receiving martial arts training from Father Kotomine!

'Human Magnetic Martial Arts'——She was the only one among the three chosen children who had learned it!
After a successful attack, Illya immediately took advantage of the victory and pursued!
Magnetic field power generation!

Concentrating all the power on the right hand, strengthening the nerves to make the cells in the whole body enter a super active state for a short period of time -

The spirit and magic power merged, and finally turned into thunder in Illya's right hand!

This is actually a move that Shirou developed over the past ten years, but after ten years of training together, Illya, who is more talented in human-magnetic martial arts than Shirou, can of course do it too!

The most important thing is, Illya has magical power that Shirou cannot match!

Magic releases thunder!
In the thunderous power of Illya's right hand, a sharp roar like thousands of birds singing was heard!

Accelerate and sprint!
The girl's body disappeared in an instant, leaving only traces of lightning in the atmosphere and scorch marks on the damaged ground!
[Illya seizes this opportunity of a surprise attack and tries to decide the outcome of the battle with the archers in one move——]

[Difficulty: 75 (After all, it is that archer, so even if it is a surprise attack, the difficulty is relatively high)]

[Illya's 'Human Magnetic Martial Arts': 1D100=96]

The archers, whose eyesight was too good and who were severely affected by the Laughing Buddha, were unable to take any defensive measures, nor were they able to successfully dodge.

"—Chidori!"

Illyasviel's lightning-fast attack!
Chidori pierced through the archer's chest!

The outcome is decided!

Then--

“No time to explain!” Illya urged her companions without waiting for them to ask, “I have learned about your situation through Olga Marie’s memory spirit. Anyway, hurry up and perform the sub-Servant transformation operation! I’m afraid the other side will need support!”

same moment.

Maybe it was because of the side effects of the previous attack of 'Godly Sword Drawing' that Shirou didn't have time to react.

Or maybe it's Shirou's destiny that he can be kissed forcefully. What a weird thing!

But the fact is! Shirou was hit before he could react in time!
Athena forced Shirou to have a "deep exchange" with him. Shirou wanted to struggle, but the cold death curse penetrated into his body, making him cold, stiff, and weak at the same time.

No, this is not just a simple 'Curse of Death'.

This is the 'power of death' displayed by Athena in her identity as the goddess of the underworld!
It was - trying to directly reap Shirou's soul!

In other words, it is the ability of the Death God-type units - the 'instant death effect' attack!
Among the ten incarnations of the god of war Veleslana, there is the ability to 'resurrect' that can be used to deal with this kind of power of the god of death. That is the incarnation of Aries. But unfortunately, this incarnation is a symbol of the 'Guardian of the Mortal Kingdom', but Shirou has nothing to do with this thing.

The incarnation of Aries is not one of the four incarnations that Shirou will use! The fourth incarnation that Shirou has not used yet is not the Aries that can reverse the situation at the moment!
I can only resist the curse.

But it still doesn’t work!
Because although it is a curse, it is not considered a curse according to the rules.

There was no malice in Athena's move, but instead it was filled with overflowing kindness and twisted "love"!
This is a blessing! Athena, as the guardian of the hero god (the mother of heroes), is giving gifts to the heroes (children)!

Granting death? That's just a form of expression.

Essentially, the goddess is taking the hero’s soul and carrying him away from danger to a safe place—her side!
Become the goddess's exclusive love!
Although Shirou tried to struggle, the girl-like Athena grabbed his arm, hugged Shirou fiercely, and forced Shirou to accept the goddess's "gift (blessing)" with his body.

Does Shirou have any means to counter this?
——There really are!

It's in Shirou's skill book! If you can chant Buddhist mantras and use the Dharma Protection Mantra -

But Athena is the goddess of wisdom after all! She was prepared for this!

Shirou's mouth was sealed tightly by her!

Even if he wanted to use internal vocalization techniques such as ventriloquism, Athena would interrupt him violently with her tongue.

He struggled to make hand seals - but Athena forced his fingers to interlock!
Akagi Hinako, who had been avoiding the aftermath of the fierce battle, hurriedly tried to stop it and wanted to take Shirou back - but behind Athena, a pair of wings spread out and pulled Shirou up into the sky!
The 'sword' that Custer transformed into fell to the ground.

Athena raised one hand, and the sky, which had been bright and clear due to the impact of the fierce battle, was suddenly covered with dark clouds, blocking out the sun - the moon and the sunlight reflected by the moon were completely blocked!
Shirou couldn't use any means to counter this move, is there really nothing he can do now? !

[Shirou was forcibly "blessed" by Athena]

[1/5, Can Custer force himself to act by will? (Difficulty 75)]

[2/6, Can Akagi Hinako get Shirou back? (Difficulty 90, she has already failed once before, so the difficulty here is higher)]

[3/7, Can Ritsuka complete the "Sub-Servant Transformation" operation in time and rush to the battlefield here? (Because it is too hasty, the difficulty increases)]

[4/8, Can Shirou forcibly activate his last 'Velslana's Incarnation Magic' and escape from Athena's 'Forced Blessing' state? (Difficulty: 90)]

[9. Smoke Mirror takes action (Athena's 'Power of Death' and Smoke Mirror's 'Power of Creation' conduct a 1D1000 confrontation judgment)]

[10. Chaos Super Expansion]

【1D10=9】

Athena: “?”

Suddenly, when Athena's attention was completely focused on all the other opponents in this singularity -

"Sorry~" The shadow of a blonde girl who looked thin and unhealthy suddenly appeared behind Shirou.

[Athena's 'Power of Death': 1D1000=512]

[Smoke Mirror's 'Power of Creation and Power of Death': 1D1000=790]

The blonde girl——the god of creation and underworld in Mayan mythology, hugged Shirou from behind.

"The 'death' of this child's soul was already signed by my underworld from the very beginning~"

Then he pulled his soul out and disappeared!

Athena: “!!???”

For Shirou.

He just felt that the "gravity" in all senses from the goddess Athena that had originally locked him down suddenly became lighter.

But the next moment, the scene in front of Shirou disappeared. After a moment of trance, he found himself next to a campfire with a burning sword stuck in the campfire.

Sitting opposite the campfire, looking at Shirou with a smile and joy, was the 'girl' Smoky Mirror, one of the many appearances of Smoky Mirror that Shirou had not seen for a long time.

"No need to waste time talking nonsense. After all, you are very nervous over there. Let's go straight to the most classic 'resurrection match' in my underworld!"

"." After a moment of silence, Shirou said in a deep voice: "What do you want me to do?"

"Generally speaking, I will ask people to trade with what they already have - for example, if it is a Master, I will use 'Master authority' as collateral, and if it is a Warrior, I will ask them to hand over 'some of their own abilities' or 'defeat my opponent'.

But as for you, since there are too many options to choose from, I have already chosen in this way - you see"

As he spoke, Smoke Mirror took out a piece of stone slab from somewhere.

The requirements were numbered on the slate, and then a pair of dice was pressed into Shirou's hand. "Come on, roll the dice. The one you get will be the content of your 'revival match'."

Shirou: “.” Is this really the place for the resurrection match?!
The girl-like Smoke Mirror smiled and said, "From the moment you signed the contract with me, your name was checked off the Book of Life and Death - of course, in my opinion, if you lose the resurrection match, you will be truly dead."

There are so many things to complain about that I don’t even know where to start.

Besides, the situation is urgent and there is no time to waste!

Shirou rolled the dice!
[The requirements that Smoke Mirror gave Shirou for the 'revival match' are——]

[1. A certain force as collateral]

[2. Fight with the heroic spirit selected by the smoke mirror and win (additional judgment on who the smoke mirror summons)]

[3. Fight with Smoke Mirror's 'sister (Tlaloc)' and win]

[4. Fight with the 'incarnation (leopard man)' of the smoke mirror and win]

[5. Fight with the smoke mirror in front of you and win]

[6. Make a dish that will satisfy Smoke Mirror! ]

[7. Forge equipment for the goddess Tlaloc that will satisfy her]

[8. Forge a sword for the Smoky Mirror]

[9. Forge a Zanpakutō for the Smoky Mirror]
