Matou Shinji Returns from Infinite

……

It has become the top of the signal tower three kilometers away from the ruins of the battlefield.

The silver-haired girl in a nun's attire—Karen Ordesia looked at the night sky.

Even at this distance, great turbulence can still be detected.

A cloudless sky appears as a twisted swirl.

The cold night wind is mixed with frightening magic power.

Kallen couldn't imagine what it would be like in the center of the battlefield.

If it is carried out outside, many people will probably die.

This level of magical power can kill a person just by inhaling it.

There, it has become a 'purgatory' for harvesting life.

And what I have to do is to purify it.

Of course, the goal is not the battlefield.

That kind of thing is impossible to do.

The task entrusted to me by the head of the agency is to activate the Noble Phantasm to punish someone designated by her when she sends the secret signal.

Although doing so will lead to their own 'death'.

But anyway, I was drawn to make up for it because of my special physique. I was lucky enough to win the favor of a certain saint. Although it was quite ironic, it was just a small problem for Karen .

As a member of the church, you just need to complete the tasks assigned by your boss.

Death is not the end.

It's just a game.

To be honest, Karen is already a little bored.

I can't wait to complete the task quickly and go out to find a few newly opened restaurants to taste delicious food.

The lower three floors are standard human society, not boring like magicians.

There are so many new things to pass the time.

Fighting and killing in the game.

It's like that too much.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in his body.

But soon disappeared again.

It's like an illusion.

But Karen knew that this was a signal from the head of the agency.

The Heroic Spirit of the Commander does not have a real body, so it can be divided and lodged in the body of another person.

Relying on this ability, seeds are placed in every church player.

The seeds will grow like cancerous cells, but the church players will not feel much, because it is still in the 'latency period', and it will only explode at the moment of death, but no one can feel it at that time.

The 'seed' that lost its host body will return to the organ leader with great power.

That is to say...

Whenever a church player dies, the power of the head of the organization will be strengthened.

Kallen doesn't know how strong Narubarek is now, anyway, in terms of "quantity", it has far exceeded the standard line, and with the breakthrough of the spirit foundation, even if it is not lower than the second breakthrough The growth rate will not be much worse.

On the other hand.

The head of the agency also transformed the Tokyo Santa Maria Cathedral into a "workshop" to collect the spiritual fragments of the dead players, and the one who carried those fragments as a container was her—Karen Ordesia.

"...Really, I can finally be liberated."

Caroline rubbed her stomach.

Although it is an illusion, there is always a feeling of being overwhelmed.

It has something to do with her physique.

To put it simply, it is easy to provoke unclean things.

The head of the agency asked her to deliberately recruit the 'spirit' of the dead player as one of the fuels for releasing the treasure.

Then--

Activate the Noble Phantasm through the 'seed' lodged in the body.On the other side, the organ leader will also attack the target. In this way, through the principle of sense-like magic, it can produce a curse-like effect, making her treasure damage effective on the opponent.

This move can be said to be impossible to guard against.

"The heavens are the glory of the Lord, and the sky is the work of the hand of God."

A sacred sword embodying a heroic spirit.

Cut through the palm of the hand with the blade.

Karen knelt on the ground, praying devoutly.

Her heroic spirit is named 'Jeanne d'Arc'.

The famous saint of salvation in France was persecuted in the end and was sent to the stake to be burned alive.

This Noble Phantasm is the holy sword that makes flames appear.

Its name is [La Pucelle].It is a special attack Noble Phantasm that crystallizes the old scene where everyone would cry when they miss the saint.

A subspecies of Inherent Barrier, a judgment made by crystallizing the mind world.

After use, it must disappear by itself, because this is an irreversible process.

The history of Noble Phantasm is repeated.

"My bow cannot be relied upon, and my sword cannot save me."

"With the only thing left, I wish to guard his footsteps."

"Lord, I entrust this body to You—"

Kallen took a deep breath and pointed the burning blade at herself.

Special attack treasure.

That is the Noble Phantasm activated by injecting one's own life into it.It is not a classification like anti-human and anti-army, but a Noble Phantasm that obtains destructive power enough to wipe out the enemy at the cost of sacrificing one's life.

——No matter what kind of hero, in front of this Noble Phantasm, they can only accept the fate of instant annihilation.Because the flame in which the saint entrusts herself will completely burn all the hostile saints, all demons, and all people to ashes.

The object she wants to eliminate is the 'demon' in her body.

But the head of the agency will make the 'devil' contact with the real target, so that he will be buried with the 'devil'.

"—'L'espoir vient apres de sespoir (L'espoir vient apres de sespoir)'."

Shining flower flames wrapped around the blade.

Just when Karen closed her eyes and wanted to 'suicide', suddenly a huge force came from behind, and she felt someone pulling her back by the collar.

"Eeeeeee!!?"

With almost no resistance, the person flew up.

……

Ruins of the battlefield.

The center of purgatory that Karen thinks.

After the radiance dissipated, a girl in silver armor and holding a holy sword appeared in the world.

The long pink hair fluttered as if it was burning.
