It's normal for an evil god to raise an Abyss.

Then, the tightly closed eyes opened, revealing beautiful purple pupils, but within those beautiful pupils, lay extremely dangerous magic.

Except for the three "insiders" Illya, Yuki Sakura, and Assassin, everyone else, including Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu who had just arrived at the battlefield, were attracted by Rider's action of taking off his blindfold.

As Rider opened her eyes, the evil eyes instantly affected everyone who was watching her.

Chapter 151 The Magic Eye of Petrification

Everyone who was looking at Rider felt a sense of sluggishness, as if something had solidified. No, this was not an illusion; the body was actually solidifying.

Medusa is a character who is well-known around the world. Her petrifying magic eyes, "Cybele", are of the highest rank among all magic eyes. They are miraculous magic eyes that cannot be reproduced by magic.

Just as the legend goes, those who are captured by Medusa's magic eye will be petrified instantly if they do not have magic power, while those with some magic power will be exempt from the petrification effect depending on the specific situation. However, even a Servant with the highest level of magic resistance will not be petrified in front of the petrifying magic eye, but will feel a resistance as if under heavy pressure, and their actions and abilities will be weakened.

"This is……"

Toosaka Rin immediately sensed something was wrong and wanted to take a step forward, but her feet were completely out of control. Looking down, she saw that her calves, which were originally wearing over-the-knee black socks, had turned gray along with her feet, and the fingers of her hands had become stiff, and the gray was gradually spreading throughout her body.

"The petrified demon eye, the opponent is... Medusa!"

Not only Toosaka Rin, but everyone present also recognized her real name through Rider's Mystic Eyes.

But even if they recognized their real names, everyone’s situation was not very good now.

Toosaka Rin's limbs had turned gray, and she temporarily lost her ability to fight. On the other side, Shirou Emiya and Archer were in an equally bad condition, and they also temporarily lost their ability to fight.

But there is someone among them whose situation is worse than these people, and that is Caster.

At the moment when the magic eye opened, Caster hid Hanlou behind him, minimizing the impact of the magic eye on Hanlou.

But the Petrifying Eye had a greater impact on Caster than on the others. Gray quickly spread over Caster's body, and within seconds most of Caster's body had turned into a deathly gray.

After a brief moment of surprise, Caster himself immediately figured out the reason.

"It seems that our luck is really bad this time, Master. I can only accompany you here..."

Caster said this with a smile, the gray color symbolizing death already spreading above his neck.

Among the Servants present, Mashu was the least affected. She possessed an A-level skill against magic, so the Mystic Eyes of Petrification only slowed down her movements, but did not petrify her and completely deprive her of her ability to move.

"Mashu, release your Noble Phantasm."

Fujimaru Ritsuka ordered.

"Yes!"

Mashu raised the cross shield and began to release the true name of the Noble Phantasm.

"Real name, revealed - I stand at the Seat of Disaster - that is our homeland that can heal all wounds and all resentments. Reveal! [Already Distant Ideal City] (Lord Camelot)!"

The shadow of a pure white city wall appeared, and the Cretaceous City of Camelot was summoned at this moment to help everyone resist the influence of the evil eye.

Mash advanced with her shield, and slammed the huge wall directly towards Rider.

Rider relied on his powerful mobility to get out of the range in advance. During the time when the Mystic Eye was used to contain them, Illya, Yuki Sakura, and Assassin had already taken Saber away via teleportation. Therefore, Rider did not stay any longer and also disappeared into the woods surrounding the campus.

As a follow-up effect of losing the Demon Eye, the gray texture imposed on everyone was gradually dispelled.

However, Caster, who was completely petrified, obviously could not recover.

"Ms. Caster, in this situation, is there any hope of being saved?"

Mashu looked at Caster, who had gone completely silent, with concern.

"I'll find a way. I'll leave first."

Without paying attention to the others, Houlou opened a portal and carefully pushed Caster, who had turned into a stone statue, into it, then he also entered the portal and disappeared.

"Thank you very much. If this Servant hadn't released the Noble Phantasm in time, we would have been in danger."

Toosaka Rin was very grateful that the other party saved her life.

"I just noticed an abnormal fluctuation of magic power and came to investigate."

Fujimaru Ritsuka said so.

"It seems that you are also the Master of this Holy Grail War."

"..."

When mentioning Master, Emiya Shirou thought of Saber who was taken away and fell silent for a moment.

"Yes."

Toosaka Rin, who noticed Emiya Shirou's emotions, took the initiative to communicate with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Excuse me, who are you...?"

"Oh, my name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, and I'm from Chaldea."

(Chaldea... I don't think I've heard of this name. It shouldn't be a local organization, so the other party should be a foreign magician.)

"A Master from Chaldea? My name is Toosaka Rin. Since you are also a Master, do you want to decide the winner here?"

Although the opponent didn't look like a combative person, Toosaka Rin still kept her guard up. Her side was not in good condition now, and she might not have the advantage if a real fight broke out, so she secretly took out a few gems and held them in her hand, ready for battle.

"Um...Okay, I'll be there right away..."

It seems that Fujimaru Ritsuka is communicating with someone. After responding and hanging up the call, Fujimaru Ritsuka looks at Toosaka Rin again.

"Although we are not opposed to deciding the winner here, Miss Rin, you and your Servant are not in your prime now, and there are many unconscious students in the school who need help. We also have other things to do. So how about this, we put our duel off until later. When you are fully prepared, we can have a hearty duel. What do you think, Miss Rin?"

"Since you said so, I certainly have no reason to object. You must respond in the best possible condition when the time comes!"

Toosaka Rin nodded.

"That's natural."

Fujimaru Ritsuka turned and left.

"Well, Mash, let's go."

"Yes, senior!"

Mashu jogged to catch up with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Without paying any attention to Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu who were walking away, Emiya Shirou and Toosaka Rin turned around and ran into the teaching building to start rescuing the unconscious student.

"Senior, may I ask where you are going in such a hurry?"

In response to Mashu's question, Fujimaru Ritsuka said:

"The church, Miss Bazette said there is important information that needs to be communicated. Coincidentally, I also have a lot of questions I want to ask her."

Chapter 152 Induction

A little earlier, at Fuyuki Church.

"Karen, there's no need for such a grand welcome ceremony~"

Xueyue said helplessly while dodging Kallen's attack.

Although it looks like a fight with one person attacking and the other defending, the intensity makes it more like an alternative dance than a fight.

"Then you can order me to stop~"

Kallen's expression remained calm, but there was some excitement in her tone.

"I really don't understand you. Okay, okay, [Stop]."

Upon hearing the order, Kallen obediently stopped her actions.

"I say, can't we have a normal opening..."

Xueyue's face was full of helplessness. If it wasn't necessary, she really had no intention of controlling others all the time.

"That's fun, isn't it?"

On the contrary, the manipulated Kallen has always been fascinated by the feeling of being controlled. To some extent, her twisted mind has developed in a strange direction.

"I really admire you..."

Xueyue held her forehead, quite speechless, and sat down casually on a bench in the church, leaning against the backrest.

"Karen, aren't you going to sit down?"

"No need, I have the character of a nun."

"I don't think this has anything to do with a nun's character... But the smell of disinfectant on you is much lighter than last time. Are you using the perfume I gave you?"

"Ms. Xueyue, the perfume you gave me is of very good quality."

Kallen nodded and changed the subject to ask about Xueyue's purpose:

"So, why did Miss Xueyue come to the church instead of staying in the mountains? Could it be that she came to exchange feelings with me, her good friend~"

Kallen's tone was filled with amusement.

“Although this is also a reason, it is not the main reason.”

"So, you are here to inform the church in advance and prepare to deal with the aftermath of the incident at the school?"

Karin was naturally referring to the Blood Temple that had just been opened at the school. If something really happened to the students inside, the church would need to spend some effort to settle the matter.

"That's not the case. If my guess is correct, your friend, Bazette and the two from Chaldea, will soon have guessed my existence. They will definitely come to the church to ask you for confirmation."

"Do you mean that I should mislead them and give them wrong information, or do you mean..."

Kallen leaned casually on the side of a bench.

"Set a trap to get rid of them?"

"That's unnecessary. I didn't expect you to be so radical... On the contrary, I'm here to ask you to reveal information. The investigator has worked so hard, so of course he should be given the information he deserves."

"So what information do you want me to tell them?"

"My name and my identity as the current head of the Einzbern family. These two are enough. As for the rest... well, they will fill it in their own minds."

"understood."

Sometimes, compared to complete lies, lies sandwiched between truths are less likely to be detected, especially when the lies are made up by oneself using "evidence", which makes them more credible.

"Ok?"

Xueyue looked towards the tightly closed church door, but her sight seemed to pass directly beyond the tightly closed door and reach far away.

"It seems like a coincidence. They are coming soon~"

Xueyue smiled and stood up from the church bench.

"Then I should go too~"

Xueyue turned into a shadow and disappeared from the church.

After Xueyue disappeared, Karen did not leave the church hall, but just waited quietly.

About ten minutes later, the tightly closed church door was opened again.

"This is Fuyuki Church. What's the matter with you guys?"

Kallen said as she looked at the four figures that appeared at the door.

-------------------------------------

On top of the Kunlun Mountain.

A shadow condensed and rolled up from the ground, and Xueyue walked out of it.

At the same time, a figure trotted out from the temple made of ice and snow to greet them.

That was Miyu, who should still be at Abigail's residence. At the moment, she was wearing a black dress, like a black rose standing proudly in the snow-capped mountains, which should not exist here.

When she saw Xueyue returning, a relieved smile unconsciously bloomed on Miyu's face, like an elf of the snowy mountains.

"There's no need to run out. It's warmer inside. What you're wearing now is still too thin."

Xueyue touched Miyu's little head.

Just as Xueyue said, there is special protection in the temple that can ensure that the indoor temperature is maintained at a comfortable temperature for the human body, but the wind and snow outside the temple are merciless. In just a short period of time, Miyu's nose tip and exposed shoulders turned red due to the stress of the cold.
