“Hey, isn’t this Kariya? I haven’t seen you for a few days. You look so tired now?”
"roll!"
Chapter 28: Alliance and Imaginary Magic
The four corners have flying eaves, carved beams and painted buildings, and the bright red Chinese lanterns attract a sense of novelty from the American tourists.
But soon, she withdrew her gaze and looked at the timid purple-haired little girl standing behind her. She remembered what Shuo Yue said, and reached out her hand to Matou Sakura.
"Hello, my name is Miyu..."
At the table in the hall, the two men simultaneously withdrew their gazes, looked at each other, and then looked at the back of each other's hands.
Three red lines of different styles are drawn on it. The dark red one looks like the mark of dried blood, with a strange beauty.
Before the Servant is summoned, it is called the Stigmata, and when the Servant is descended, it is the Command Spell that has the power to forcefully command the Servant.
"Matou Kariya, the Master."
"Shuoyue, the Master."
If this kind of self-introduction were made outside, others would definitely think it was a case of middle school syndrome. However, there was no joking in the tone of these two men. Instead, they were serious in introducing themselves to their friends who were destined to become rivals.
Servant: Berserker), I didn’t expect you to take this path, Kariya.” Sakutsuki sighed.
, a relatively special job among the seven jobs in the Holy Grail War. This job adds the job skill of "Frenzy" to the servant at the cost of depriving the servant of his own sanity, in exchange for the highest basic attribute among the seven jobs. Just looking at the servant's panel, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest.
The two sections of the spell that Kariya added to his chant were to add the "Frenzy" skill to the Servant in order to fulfill the conditions for summoning.
In the original work, in order to torture Kariya more, Zōken instigated Kariya, who was already living a life worse than death, to summon him, because Kariya was the one who placed the greatest burden on the Master among the seven major occupations.
But now that Zōken is dead, no one will instigate Kariya to summon him. However, in order to defeat Tokiomi and for some unspeakable thoughts, Kariya still made the same choice as before.
"Even with a year of training, my ability as a magus is still far inferior to Tokiomi. The ability of the Master will affect the basic ability of the Servant. The Master cannot compare to Tokiomi, so he can only find a way to improve the Servant."
Kariya's voice was resolute and contained an unshakable will. He took out an agate-like insect specimen and crushed it with force.
Rich magical energy flowed into his body, restoring Kariya's losses.
The notebook that Sakutsuki gave to Kariya contained not only water-attributed magic, but also the insect magic that Matou Zouken was best at.
The insect specimen that Yanye crushed at this moment was prepared in advance. It has only one effect, which is to replenish the magician's own magic loss. Obviously, he intends to use this method to solve the problem of excessive consumption.
"Although most bug magic is disgusting, the feeling of crushing these bugs is still very good and quite relaxing." Kariya laughed and seemed to be in a good mood while joking.
"Is it worth it?" Shuoyue sighed, "You can raise Ying until she grows up now without joining this war.
For Kariya, this is the best choice.
However, the man raised his hand, signaling Shuoyue not to say more.
"You know, two months ago, Tousaka Tokiomi and Aoi visited the Matou family." Kariya looked at Sakutsuki with fire burning in his eyes. "That man still maintains his damn elegance. He even deliberately prevented Aoi and Rin from getting close to Sakura because of the adoption issue."
In Tokiomi's view, since Sakura has become a child of the Matou family, she has completely severed ties with the Tōsaka family, and her path of practicing magic should not be affected by past family ties. However, in the eyes of Kariya, who is still a normal person at heart, Tōsaka Tokiomi's behavior is undoubtedly ruthless. This attitude not only hurt the young Sakura and Rin, but also made Aoi almost cry on the spot.
"Back then, I thought I was incapable of protecting Aoi, so I chose to flee. Aoi finally chose Tokiomi because of my incompetence, and I don't blame that guy for that." Kariya clenched his fists, "The reason I participated in the Holy Grail War was to let that bastard Tokiomi know that if he still regards magic as everything to him, then I will beat him up and wake him up. Damn elegance!"
“Tsk tsk… you’re such an idiot.” Shuoyue picked up the teacup and sipped it gently, not wanting Yanye to see the admiration in his eyes, but still said mercilessly, “You’re such a good backup.”
“Hey! Do you still want to form an alliance?” Kariya slammed the table in shame and anger, “Aren’t you here just to turn this place into a magic workshop, you little bastard?”
In every Holy Grail War, the group would use magic to protect their strongholds to avoid being attacked by other Servants. Apparently, Sakutsuki had the same idea, and Matou Kariya was an old acquaintance and they had non-conflicting goals, so forming an alliance was a good option.
What's more, Sakutsuki's goal is the Holy Grail, while Matou Kariya's goal is just to teach Tōsaka Tokiomi a lesson. The two people's wishes do not conflict.
but……
"Can you explain to me first, what happened to Matou Sakura?" Sakutsuki knocked on the table and asked, "Why did her hair color and pupils turn purple?"
Yes, if we say that apart from the improvement in magic between Kariya and Sakura this year, the biggest change is the appearance of Matou Sakura.
The black hair and blue pupils that were originally inherited from the Tosaka family turned into a dreamy purple - just like the color that was changed by forced magic after being humiliated in the original work.
If Sakutsuki hadn't sensed that there was nothing wrong with Sakura's condition and emotions, he would have drawn his sword and started chopping her.
"I was also confused at first." Kariya did not hide this, "On the day Sakura became an apprentice magician, her hair color gradually began to change. Later, based on the business card you gave me, I invited the tuner named Melvin. According to him, it was the effect of practicing magic."
"The influence of imaginary number magic..." Shuoyue thought thoughtfully, and the light blue screen was reflected in his golden eyes.
[Record conditions have been met, rewards are waiting to be claimed]
Matou Sakura (childhood)】
[Character Information]: One of the miracle "raw stones" born from the Tohsaka family, he possesses an extremely rare imaginary number attribute. In order to develop his magical talent, he was adopted by his father to the Matou family. Now he is just a child who cannot use his willpower to face the cruel fate and does not understand the meaning of life.
[Hidden information: What are you thinking about? Although they were lovers in a certain world line, she is just a child now!
Recording conditions
1. Gain recognition from Matou Sakura. (Completed)
Taught Matou Sakura imaginary number magic. (Completed)
"So that's how it is. This is the hidden condition." Shuoyue muttered to himself.
After the first condition is met, the reward is a small increase in magic power, so what about this hidden condition? The reward must be even more generous, right?
[Record condition 2 has been achieved, and the reward "Permission to use imaginary magic" has been obtained! ]
As if it were an epiphany, Shuoyue suddenly felt the hidden magic of imaginary numbers and could use them at will.
As a fictional element, the practice of "imaginary number" magic is extremely difficult, but once it is mastered, its ability is recognized to be powerful.
After receiving the reward, Shuoyue did not use it immediately. Instead, she clapped her hands vigorously and shouted, "It's getting late, girls, it's time to go to bed!"
"Okay~~"
After washing up, the lights in the room went out and the room soon fell into silence.
Shuoyue lay on the bed, looking at the moonlight in the sky, his eyes glowing golden. Then he communicated with the Fate Atlas and made a decision that he regretted for a long time:
"Come on, let me see what imaginary number magic looks like..."
Chapter 29: Shadow of Imaginary Numbers
Imaginary magic is a magic based on imaginary elements. In magic, it is defined as "although it is possible, it cannot be materialized", which is opposite to the attribute "nothingness". In other words, imaginary magic is the magic of possibility.
In Shuoyue's opinion, this should be the most useful ability in imaginary number magic.
"Imaginary pockets."
A short verse was chanted, and invisible particles streaked across the void, peeking at the emptiness inside through the torn hole.
Shuoyue stared at the space that no one else could see, casually threw the water cup beside him into it, waved his hand, and the imaginary particles flowed through, just like closing the imaginary pocket like a zipper.
Then, the tips of Shuoyue's fingers lit up slightly.
"Displacement magic."
The first magic attempt failed, as displacement magic could not reach the imaginary space. The second time, Sakutsuki simply displaced himself onto the Fuyuki Bridge.
The moist and even somewhat cold sea breeze blew on his face. The young man standing on the top of the bridge had golden eyes. He reached his hand into the concept of non-existence and took out an intact water cup.
The tea in the cup ripples slightly, as if it had never entered the space of eternal silence.
The holder of the imaginary attribute has the ability to freely open the imaginary space and put (seal) items and even creatures into it. And it can only be opened by someone with the same attribute or who knows how to open it. There is no concept of time and space inside the imaginary space, which is an extremely suitable place to exile enemies.
Before encountering a suitable enemy, the imaginary space is almost the same as the storage space that Shuoyue carries with him, and the storage capacity is almost infinite, which is much more useful than replacement magic.
Unlike replacement magic, the imaginary pocket ignores time and space and can be communicated with by the imaginary magician at any time. The principle of replacement magic is to "replace" things to a safe area, but once the magician leaves this world, or the replaced area is discovered or accidentally destroyed, the precious props preserved will no longer exist.
"Then, the second ability." Shuoyue closed his eyes. Even he had to be careful when using this ability.
Virtual Submersible).”
Along with the flow of imaginary particles, Shuoyue's figure was gradually wrapped up and sank into the imaginary space. To outsiders, Shuoyue's body flickered as if the signal was bad. When it returned to normal, Shuoyue bent down and gasped with lingering fear.
"Huh, huh, huh... What's going on in the imaginary number domain? The difficulty of proving it has greatly increased. Is someone interfering with this space?"
The voice just fell.
"Although the king is interested in enjoying the entertainment of the court jester, the uninvited bastard will only ruin the fun of the night."
A voice sounded slowly, responding to Shuoyue's mumbling. The tone was more arrogant than that of the Conqueror King Iskandar, and more cruel and ruthless than a dormant snake.
When Shuoyue heard the word "miscellaneous cultivator (bastard)", he had expected it. And when he looked up and saw the golden light, there was no doubt about the identity of the visitor -
, Gilgamesh, Tohsaka Tokiomi's Servant. "
His true identity is the fifth king of Uruk, a city-state in the early Sumerian dynasty in ancient Mesopotamia. He is the protagonist of the oldest epic of mankind, The Epic of Gilgamesh, and the oldest "hero king" in human history. He possesses the divinity of "two-thirds God and one-third man".
Of course, these words were not spoken out loud. Shuoyue stared at the blond man in shining armor. The imaginary particles dissipated, and were replaced by the Yin-Yang swords in his hands.
According to common sense, anyone who is seen practicing magic will naturally be on guard, but the golden heroic spirit narrowed its red eyes as if offended, and began to exude naked murderous intent.
"Not only did you not kneel down and beg for forgiveness, you even raised your weapon against me? It seems that the humans of this era are truly hopeless!"
As Gilgamesh finished speaking, the space around him began to distort like a mirage - the next second, a sharp weapon suddenly appeared in the void.
It was a spear, and the decorations on the spear were breathtakingly beautiful. Not only that, they also released a strong magical power that was difficult to conceal. It was obviously not an ordinary weapon, but a treasure.
"Use your death to atone for your sins." With this cold declaration, the spear shot out.
The troops were approaching, but Shuoyue was still thinking about other things.
Just as described in the original work, Gilgamesh possesses the ability to act independently equivalent to A-level. Such a high-level skill allows him not only to maintain his present body, but also to transform into a caring citizen Mr. Jin and stroll around Fuyuki City. So it is not surprising that Shutsuki bumps into him tonight.
Although Gilgamesh is the most powerful Servant in this Holy Grail War, to be honest, the sense of crisis he brings is not as strong as Iskandar - the reason is that Sakutsuki and Angelica have fought too many times, and Shining, who always gives her all, is even more dangerous than Gilgamesh in some ways.
Thinking of this, Shuoyue took a casual step back and perfectly avoided the bombing range of the treasure.
In the flash of the explosion, the Golden King's expression froze for a moment, but was quickly filled with murderous intent.
"Very well, then keep pleasing me, bastard!"
Golden ripples spread out around Gilgamesh, revealing eight treasures, which were aimed at the young man with white hair and golden eyes with murderous aura.
Not only swords and guns, but also axes, steel hammers, spears, and even some strange weapons whose uses and origins are unknown.
All weapons are polished to a mirror-like shine and contain powerful magic. Each weapon represents a mysterious embodiment, no less... They are all true treasures, without exception.
If other Masters were to witness this scene, they would surely be shocked beyond words, because the Heroic Spirits' Noble Phantasms are the embodiment of their legends, and are super weapons equivalent to a country's nuclear bombs. Even if there are more, three or four are already the limit.
However, this oldest hero king seemed to have an endless supply of equipment. He pulled out his treasures one after another, discarded them after use, and no two were the same.
When Shuoyue saw this spectacle, the young man did not lose his composure in shock. Instead, he sighed helplessly, like a parent who saw a child showing off his toys.
He's used to it.
In order to hide his strength, Shuoyue did not use projection magic to block these weapons in advance, but instead used the ability he had just acquired.
The Yin-Yang double blades fell, Shuoyue lowered his eyes, and his white hair was blown ragged by the sudden magical airflow.
"When the night is silent, my shadow will cover the world."
The young man's shadow twisted and stretched in an instant, turning into an ominous giant that appeared in front of Gilgamesh.
Imaginary particles flowed, and the young man with a pale face raised his head, and negative emotions rose in his eyes as he looked at the golden heroic spirit.
! ”
Magic: Shadow of Imaginary Numbers!
Chapter 30 Good Dreams
Perhaps because of the reward she received from Sakura, when Sakutsuki casts imaginary magic, the chant is also related to her.
What are imaginary numbers?
It is possible, but cannot be materialized.
In the HF line, Sakura was transformed by Zouken Matou, and with the help of the Holy Grail, she can manipulate the shadows made of black mud, and even materialize to the level of a "Shadow Giant".
Although the New Moon does not have the power of the Black Holy Grail, its invisible and intangible deep consciousness, such as negative emotions, is also one of the energy sources of imaginary magic.
The endless unwillingness and struggling obsession that Shirou Emiya felt before his death still echo in Shuoyue's memory.
A huge, invisible shadow was generated, like ink splashed on a canvas, flowing towards the golden color in the darkness.
"It's nothing but a clown's trick!" The arrogant king gave an order, and the sixteen treasures around him rang out at the same time, piercing through the black shadow's body like bullets and exploding on the bridge.
When the light faded, shadows followed like maggots on the tarsal bones and moved toward where Gilgamesh stood.
