Master of Noble Phantasm Outsider

Regardless of the process, he only hopes that the official discussions between the two sides can reach a satisfactory result.

"Ke, are you interested in betting on which combination of Heroic Spirit and Master will win in the end?"

Lukes very suddenly wanted to make a bet.

It's not that I want to gamble on anything, I just want to have some fun.

"So I said, it doesn't matter who wins, I won't guess or bet."

In an officially arranged one-on-one ring battle, anyone has the possibility of winning.

Except for the nameless hero who obviously has the lowest winning rate, the strength of all the heroes seems to be comparable.

"My friend, you are a little too rigid and serious. Relax a little.

As for me, I think the elven archers summoned by the high elves of Rivendell have a good winning rate. After all, they are ancient heroes in the magic world. Even if they come to the human world, they must still have some strength.

The next candidate is Mordred. Although there is no regional bonus here, compared with the Heroic Spirits from the East, the heroes from the West are indeed stronger. People’s perceptions will also affect the strength of the Heroic Spirits. "

Lux made his own guess about the winner.

"It's all good..."

Conan-san's idea remains the same.

"As long as this Heroic War ends smoothly, it's fine with me."

071 All Means Used

The official Heroic War came to the fifth day without any incident.

Everything went according to the planned script.

On the fifth day, the first elimination contestant finally emerged.

In the first battle of the day, the combatants were Ulysses Felsong, the head of the Clock Tower Spirit Advent Science Department, who summoned the nameless heroic spirit, and Yang Cheng, a returnee from another world, who summoned the Eastern heroic spirit Yue Yun.

The final outcome of the decisive battle between the two sides can be said to be reasonable, but also unexpected.

Clock Tower Spiritual Science Minister Julius Felsong won.

Unfortunately, he summoned an unknown heroic spirit from the magic world, and he used all means to narrowly defeat the famous Eastern heroic spirit.

"The upper echelons of this clock tower have so many middlemen:-咎）４◆⑻々∏⑵⒋°衬衫〔∽3_-零wu I'm not surprised, but is it really worth exposing so much and spending so much effort for this battle?

Even if he wins this one, his tricks exposed will probably be useless to other people who are on guard. Does he really want to win?"

From then on, Conan-san, who had been observing the battles between the heroic spirits from a safe range, clearly saw how the Minister of Science of Adventuring cleverly defeated the stronger enemies.

After four days of fighting, the strength of Ulysses Felsong's Heroic Spirit and the auxiliary abilities of this summoner have basically become known.

However, since it has not yet entered the decisive stage, neither Fersun, the senior executive of the Clock Tower, nor other participants in the War of Heroes will certainly not use their full strength.

However, since the summoned heroic spirit is nameless, its strength is obviously much weaker than other heroic spirits. In the first four days of simulated battles, which were paired up in turns, Fersong probably couldn't hold back.

In fact, this should be the case.

The reason why Fersong was able to successfully eliminate his opponent was that the method he used was unexpected and surprising, a so-called trick that could only be used once.

"Although this man has used Shadow Servants in the past few days of battle, he only had two. But today, he summoned six Shadow Servants in one go. Together with the nameless Heroic Spirit that he already had, it became a seven-to-one situation."

Conan was very interested in the shadow servants that appeared in this War of Heroes, regardless of whether he had played some money-grabbing moon-drawing mobile game in his previous life.

Conan-san initially speculated that the shadow servants summoned by Fersong should be imitations of certain genuine Heroic Spirits, and there is even a high possibility that they are directly copied from the Heroic Spirits that appear here.

But after watching them for the past few days, those almost identical black heroes with no features seemed to be just ordinary puppets, just a silhouette.

It was not until today that Fersun, who had shown his true strength, finally summoned a Shadow Servant with obvious clothing and weapon features.

These Shadow Servants were most likely imitating other Heroic Spirits in this Heroic War. Their movements and strength were obviously stronger and more flexible than those that had appeared before. With the cooperation of their controllers, they did cause some trouble for the genuine Heroic Spirits.

However, Shadow Servants are just Shadow Servants, and their abilities are always limited. They can cause trouble to real Heroic Spirits, but there are not many of them, and there is no way to defeat Heroic Spirits by sheer numbers.

An unknown Heroic Spirit plus six Shadow Servants of varying strengths versus a complete Heroic Spirit.

It seems that the advantage lies in numbers, but it is not the case.

After all, a complete Heroic Spirit possesses a miraculous power called a Noble Phantasm, which is not something that an unknown Heroic Spirit without a Noble Phantasm or a Shadow Servant who is like cannon fodder can challenge.

As the Minister of Spiritual Science, who is considered to be an authority on the subject of Heroic Spirits, Fersong is naturally well aware of this.

As long as his opponent uses a Noble Phantasm, he probably won't be able to hold out for long.

He would not underestimate his opponent, even if he was just a teenager who had no knowledge of Heroic Spirits and magic. However, after these days, he had the support of a whole team of magic consultants. When faced with a huge change in the situation and felt that he was in a disadvantageous situation, he would definitely make a decisive decision to let the Heroic Spirit release the Noble Phantasm.

The hero who returned from the other world did indeed follow the advice of the Magic Advisory Committee and immediately used a command seal to allow his heroic spirit to use its strongest power.

Then, Conan saw the six dark shadow servants self-destruct.

The explosions of the Shadow Servant complement each other. They are not separate explosions, nor are they six explosions in a row. Instead, they are large explosions that occur at the same time.

This unreserved explosion of magical power interrupted the actions of the Heroic Spirit who wanted to release the Noble Phantasm.

The outcome is decided at this moment.

Although the resonance explosion of the shadow servant did injure the heroic spirit Yue Yun, it was only a minor injury and could not be said to be the decisive move.

The heroic spirit Yue Yun was able to catch his breath in just a few seconds, and then easily defeated the only nameless heroic spirit left.

Fersun, who had caused his summon to self-destruct, certainly would not allow such a situation to happen.

By the time he made the Shadow Servant explode, he had already played all the cards in his hand.

The nameless heroic spirit he summoned approached the heroic spirit Yue Yun at the same time as the shadow servant exploded, which was equivalent to being caught in the explosion, a fighting style that seemed to be a mutual destruction.

However, Fersong used some kind of magic to make the nameless heroic spirit he summoned avoid the harm, and then took advantage of this one in a million chance, which probably would not come a second time, to attack the heroic spirit Yue Yun.

An unknown heroic spirit without a treasure might be able to seriously injure the heroic spirit Yue Yun in this situation, but it is far from enough to force a genuine heroic spirit to retire.

The nameless heroic spirit of Fersong did not possess a treasure unexpectedly, but this nameless heroic spirit used something even more unexpected to send off the heroic spirit Yue Yun.

It was just one strike, which might not have caused much damage, but with just this one strike, the heroic spirit Yue Yun turned into light and disappeared, returning to the Heroic Throne.

“It’s actually a method of returning it.”

Through the large screen in the XCOM command room, Conan-san could clearly see the dagger in the hand of the tired-looking nameless hero.

It was a short sword that was completely black.

This one didn't seem to have any special weapon, but it was the real reason why the heroic spirit Yue Yun, who was basically uninjured, was killed with just one strike.

In this patchwork world where there is a method to summon Heroic Spirits, there is also magic that can send Heroic Spirits away.

This is what is called "return", a compulsory return of a summon, a forced cancellation of a summon.

However, although it is easier said than done, sending back a Heroic Spirit that possesses strong magic resistance and a tough body is not something that can be done easily.

Even if the Heroic Spirit is caught off guard and receives the summoning, it is impossible for it to disappear all at once. The Heroic Spirit has ways to resist it easily.

Theoretically speaking, even if this kind of magic that forcibly sends away the heroic spirit is performed ten thousand times, it may not succeed once.

However, the current situation is that after the heroic spirit Yue Yun was stabbed by the dagger of return in the hands of the nameless heroic spirit, he turned into light and disappeared.

There was no resistance, and no time to react, whether it was the Heroic Spirit himself or the Master and Hero behind him.

There was still a lot of strength left, and the Heroic Spirit who hadn't even used his Noble Phantasm yet was eliminated just like that.

Obviously, the pitch-black dagger that sent away the heroic spirit Yue Yun was not a simple thing. It might be some kind of hidden treasure owned by the Clock Tower's Spiritual Science Department.

"That's right. Ulysses Felsong is the boss of the Spirit Summoning Department after all. It makes sense for him to have a special magic item that can directly send away heroic spirits. However, now that this trump card has been exposed, others will not be fooled again."

Conan really didn't understand why this high-ranking official of the Clock Tower was trying so hard to win.

You have to know that in this war of heroes, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose. Everyone has the same goal and only one wish.

Of course, you have to fight for real, but there is no need to fight desperately, nor is there any need to use all your trump cards and methods.

Even if it was for the sake of his own face, and he wanted to make up for the mistake of accidentally summoning an unknown Heroic Spirit, he shouldn't have exposed such a rare and precious magic item that could send a Heroic Spirit away in an instant.

This kind of thing can even be called a strategic weapon to some extent, but it seems a bit unreasonable and inappropriate to use it in such a planned and planned war of heroes.

"I don't know what the head of the Spirit Summoning Department is thinking. Although it's a good thing that he's trying hard to win, it can increase the completion of the Heroic Spirit War ritual, but why do I always feel that something is weird?"

Conan's inexplicable and irrational intuition jumped for some reason at this moment.

"I can't see any problem for now, but let's keep an eye on the boss of the Spiritual Summoning Department."

072 Seriously

On the fifth day of the official Heroic War, only one Hero withdrew.

However, starting from today, all the Heroic Spirits and Masters are serious and will fight with all their might.

Some Masters used Command Seals, and some Heroic Spirits directly used Noble Phantasms, but the winner was still unknown.

If it weren't for the script, today's battle might have ended in bloodshed.

I guess tomorrow's battle will be even more intense.

According to the official script, on the final seventh day, it would be best if only the final battle combination was left. After that, you can directly make a wish to find aliens.

"Lux, will the ritual of the Heroic War here be successful?"

During the evening rest period, Conanshan found Lux ​​who had returned from the meeting.

"The ritual went smoothly. The magic power was well collected. Theoretically, it should be successful. Even if there is still one step missing, I will find a way to make up for it. In the end, the Ministry of Magic will pay for it anyway."

It can be said that Lux, who was in charge of hosting and establishing the venue for the Heroic War Ceremony here, still looked relaxed even on the fifth day.

"Today's Heroic War finally looked like a good one. There was real rage among the heroes, and their fighting spirit was also strong. There's no need to worry too much about the failure of the Heroic War. The success rate is probably over 70%."

"Seventy percent...is that high?"

"That's high. Under normal circumstances in a war of heroes, if the chance of a wish being successful is 20%, you should be smiling."

If it was a "normal" War of Heroes, there would be too many things that could happen during the ceremony.

Not to mention the intrigues and deceptions, it is common for people to unite one second and betray each other the next.

It is not surprising that the organizers of the War of Heroes would either end up in the game themselves or simply cheat.

Head-on clashes between Heroic Spirits may not occur very often, and there is even the possibility that it will turn into a "Master War" between Masters.

Everyone will do whatever it takes to achieve their own goals and wishes, resulting in many uncontrollable factors that ultimately cause the entire ceremony to fail.

Not to mention that the Heroic War itself is banned and illegal. The official Ministry of Magic will definitely not turn a blind eye. Once discovered, they will definitely try every means to stop it, which will lead to more variables.

Although the planned and scripted war of heroes organized by the government may not meet the basic conditions of the ritual of mutual slaughter in other aspects, there are gains and losses, and at least it can greatly improve the success rate, which is about stability.

Conan-san naturally didn't want the Heroic War here to fail, and he also wanted to find the aliens who were hiding somewhere as soon as possible.

If the official Heroic War between the human world and the Ministry of Magic fails in the end, then it will be a lot of fun here.

Not only does it waste a lot of magical resources and time, but it is also a pointless waste of energy.

The Ministry of Magic, which was originally responsible for prohibiting and preventing the Heroic War, will also lose its position.

What's more, even the Ministry of Magic's most wanted criminal has joined the Heroic War here, so there are even more sensitive areas.

Conan Shan knew that it was useless to worry. Once the arrow was shot, there was no turning back. The so-called official war of heroes held here could only succeed and not fail from the very beginning.

Even if you are going to fail or want to shirk responsibility, you must have convincing reasons and justifications.

All Conan-san could do was to watch from the sidelines.

*

The official Heroic War has reached its sixth day.

The battle that day was as fierce as expected.

The fallers soon appeared.

The first person to fall off was the representative from the Magic Association who had used all his means the day before, the Minister of Spiritual Science, Ulysses Felsong.

Felsom faced Damon West, the second generation Dark Lord's right-hand man.

That is, the nameless heroic spirit versus the treacherous knight Mordred.

Because he already knew his opponent's background and trump cards, the heroic spirit Mordred immediately released his Noble Phantasm, leaving his opponent no chance to take advantage.

The battle was over very quickly and could basically be summed up in one sentence.

It was on, it was on in seconds, it was over.

Damon West directly consumed the Command Spell, enhancing Mordred's power and accelerating the release of the Noble Phantasm, and then pierced through the six shadow servants around the Nameless Heroic Spirit with a spear.

The battle ended so cleanly and neatly that the surrounding area was not even changed much.
