Alchemy Principles of Type-Moon World

Before he finished speaking, the man's figure began to gradually fade away, and the spirit particles around him drifted away gently with the wind, disappearing into the air like pieces of paper burned by flames, and finally dissipated in the dust of the battlefield.

"Mr. Yamanami--" Okita Souji wailed. He had finally reunited with his former companions and was able to go to the battlefield with the Shinsengumi again. This was clearly what he had longed for in his lifetime. Several joys overlapped with each other, and this double joy brought even more joy. He should have had a dreamlike happy time, but why did it turn out like this!

Is there really nothing wrong with such a relaxed atmosphere?!

"Ah? Shannan fell? He couldn't avoid the bombardment?" Nagakura Shinpachi, who was not far away, laughed loudly. He didn't feel sad at all because of the disappearance of his companions. Instead, he laughed loudly, "Hahaha, that clumsy guy couldn't avoid the bombardment... Uh-oh——"

However, before the laughter died down, Shinpachi Nagakura was hit hard by a cannonball. The impact of the explosion knocked him to the ground. His body rolled in the air and hit a broken wall heavily.

“Oh oh… I’m the last one alive in the Shinsengumi…” Nagakura Shinpachi was covered in blood and his clothes were torn, but he still stood up, holding his sword and catching up with Okita Souji and his group, “How could you fall down like this, bastard!”

"This guy... is really the one who survived to the end?" Kondo Isami, who was standing aside, frowned, his tone full of disbelief.

"It seems so." Okita Souji nodded slightly, tears flashing in his eyes, and his voice was a little dazed.

"It's true...fools have good fortune."

"Ah? What do you mean?" Nagakura Shinpachi roared in dissatisfaction.

Ms. Okita is very depressed at the moment.

After noticing the unusual situation in Kyoto and Nijo Castle, Patricia, Ringo Kanzuki, and Okita Souji had a brief discussion and ultimately decided to have Okita Souji go to Nijo Castle to investigate the situation.

——Because they roughly estimated the Servants that had appeared in the current Holy Grail War, not to mention the one who could cause the current abnormality, even Lancer alone might not be someone they could contend with.

The disparity in power was so great that even tactics seemed powerless. Rather than engaging in a head-on conflict, it would be better to proactively investigate the anomaly and show goodwill to the organizers. Perhaps if they failed to secure the Holy Grail, they could gain some preferential treatment in future operations.

Okita Souji had no objections, and just like that, she set off for Nijo Castle.

——If she had known that she would encounter this situation, she would never have taken this step even if she was beaten to death.

As a Saber who couldn't fire a laser cannon, Okita Souji found himself struggling against the Red-armored Army that filled the streets. Although using a Noble Phantasm would certainly allow him to kill one with a single strike...

...But the closer Okita Souji got to Nijo Castle, the more Red-armored soldiers appeared on the streets, and she couldn't fire dozens of Noble Phantasms in a row.

So she chose to use her second Noble Phantasm, hoping to rely on the Shinsengumi to help her break through...

"Flag of Seiichi: B" represents the Shinsengumi's flag. Revealing this flag summons Shinsengumi members within a certain range.

…and then it was bombarded.

Perhaps because so many Servants acting together were too conspicuous, Ms. Okita successfully attracted the attention of Otomo Sorin, who was originally wary of Lancer.

The buildings along the street were shattered to smithereens by the fierce artillery fire. Bricks, tiles, and wooden beams flew like rain, and even the corners that could provide shelter were reduced to rubble. Flames and smoke raged in the air, and the figures of the Red Army and the Shinsengumi were engulfed in flames.

Shop? It’s not ours, explode!

Red Army? Friendly? None of my business, I'll bomb them anyway!

As for Otomo Sorin, he didn't care about these details at all. As an independent daimyo with his own territory, although he was under the command of Tokugawa Ieyasu on the surface, he actually acted without any scruples.

——The ones who fell before the Shinsengumi were the nearly one hundred Red-armored Soldiers who surrounded them. In a sense, they cleared the way for the Shinsengumi.

"Okita." Hijikata Toshizo suddenly turned around, his eyes piercing Okita Souji like sharp blades. His back looked particularly tall and straight under the illumination of the artillery fire. "You said that you have always longed to face the final battle with your fellow Shinsengumi members, right?"

Okita Souji was stunned, her breath caught in her throat. Her hand unconsciously tightened around the sword, trembling slightly. "Yes... yes!" She nodded vigorously, her voice trembling with excitement.

"You know, my last battle was pretty much like this," Hijikata said. "Bullets flew, artillery fire filled the air... Behind me was an endless sea of corpses and blood, and there was no hope of victory ahead. You must understand, Okita, this is the fate of the Shinsengumi—"

"—But there's no escape route! Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!!"

"Yes!!!" Souji Okita responded at the top of her lungs. She bit her lower lip hard, a blazing fire burning in her eyes, and her heart seemed to be on fire as well.

"Okita, if you still have the resolve to go with the Shinsengumi—then kill them! Forward! Kill them!! Keep moving forward—!!!"

"Yes!!" Miss Okita responded, half excited and half crying. Although she always felt that there was something wrong with Hijikata Toshizo's words, her emotions were successfully stirred by Hijikata Toshizo at this moment, and the only thing in her mind was to keep moving forward. "This is the final battle of the Shinsengumi!"

“A! A! O!!”

Ms. Okita suddenly gave a Japanese cheer:

——It’s a pity that no one responded to her.

"The atmosphere has been built up to this point, could you please respond?!"

"boom--!"

Suddenly, a deafening explosion erupted. Okita's pupils constricted as a shell whistled towards him, striking Hijikata Toshizo squarely on the head. Fire erupted, smoke filled the air, and the stench of blood instantly permeated the air.

"The banner of sincerity is immortal!" But even so, Hijikata Toshizo still did not stop his pace. He was covered with scars and bleeding, but his steps were still firm. His face was covered with blood, and his eyes were shining with undying anger.

"boom--!"

——Now he couldn't shout.

"Mr. Hijikata!!!" Okita Souji wailed.

"Ah, Toshizo is finally gone." Kondo Isami looked at the figure of Hijikata Toshizo engulfed in artillery fire, his brows slightly relaxed. Although he watched Hijikata fall in the roar of artillery fire, his face did not show a trace of mourning. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief, and his tone was relaxed and almost nonchalant, "My position here now... should be the highest, right? Then as the former director, I will give the order——"

"—Okita, find a way to contact your Master and use the Command Spell to transfer you away."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?!" Okita Souji widened her eyes, her face full of shock. Before she could finish her words, her face changed and blood gushed out of her mouth, splashing onto the ground and staining the sword in her hand red.

"Ugh...?!" Ms. Okita's body swayed slightly, and the sound of coughing mixed with the smell of blood filled the air. She clutched her chest tightly with her hands, and her body began to tremble slightly.

Ms. Okita, at this time, her weakness kicked in and she vomited blood quite decisively!

"Because I entrusted the Shinsengumi to Toshizo," Kondo Isami said matter-of-factly. "When he was here, he was the supreme commander of the Shinsengumi. If I gave any orders, I would be exceeding my authority."

"But that guy, Toshizo, seems to be a little bit mentally unstable," Kondo Isami said after thinking for a while, "but since you guys seem to be enjoying it, I won't say much."

"Besides," Kondo Isami's tone suddenly softened, "this is also your own wish, right, Okita? To always follow your comrades in the Shinsengumi, charging into battle together, and finally meeting your final moment on the battlefield."

"Although I didn't personally experience this battle," he said, sighing slightly, "but since Suizo said this battle was similar to the Battle of Goryoden, then so be it."

"This is the Shinsengumi's final battle, so just treat it as such," Kondo Isami said. "But, there's no need to die together—"

"Yes, I lived until I died of old age!" "Shut up, you idiot who ran away!"

"—You still have things to do, right?" Kondo Isami said, "Then now is not the time for you to die."

"That's what I said, but I can't contact the Master!!!" Miss Okita wailed, "I was trying to contact the Master just as you brought it up."

"..." Kondo Isami was stunned for a moment before he reacted and looked up at the shells that were heading towards him.

Missed the chance to avoid it.

"Then I'll leave first."

"Mr. Kondo—" Okita Souji whined.

"The whining guy is gone too," Nagakura Shinpachi wiped the sweat from his forehead. The sound of artillery was deafening in his ears, but he smiled completely unconcerned. "Soji, haven't you contacted your Master yet?"

"The phone doesn't work, and the communication technique is being disrupted for some reason..."

As soon as she finished speaking, a shrill scream came to her ears.

"Be careful—!" Nagakura Shinpachi's pupils suddenly constricted. He lunged forward, forcing Okita Souji to the ground with all his might, his arms tightly protecting her head. Instantly, a massive explosion erupted behind them, scorching flames and flying shrapnel streaking across their surroundings, brushing against their skin and sending a stinging gust of wind.

Debris crashed down on their heads, sending flying dust raining down on them. Nagakura Shinpachi used his body to hold Okita tightly, his breathing becoming rapid and heavy, but he still clenched his teeth tightly, not relaxing at all.

On the shattered streets, the Shinsengumi soldiers who broke out in all directions fell one after another, and were swallowed by artillery fire one by one.

Now, the only two people left on this battlefield filled with smoke and ruins, still struggling desperately to break out, are Nagakura Shinpachi and Okita Souji.

There is no way to avoid it, there is absolutely no way to escape.

Fiery explosions and dense artillery shells descended from all directions like an overwhelming barrage, the roar drowning out any room for thought. The entire battlefield was like a collapsing hell.

"It seems... there's really nothing I can do this time," he muttered with a wry smile, a hint of relief and emotion in his voice. His body was already covered in wounds, blood gushing from his wounds, dripping from his fingertips onto the ground, staining the ground beneath his feet red. "It seems... I won't make it to the end this time."

The Servant's vanishing spirit, the sky full of artillery fire, the scattered bricks and tiles—

—And the figure that pierced the sky and rushed towards Nijo Castle like a meteor.

That was the last scene she saw before her consciousness completely faded.

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

"Ringo, our Souji... is this what he looks like?" Patricia's eyes fell on the lying figure in front of her, her brows furrowed, a puzzled expression on her face.

Just now, Patricia sensed through the Command Seal that her Servant was on the verge of death, and without hesitation used the Command Seal to forcibly recall Okita Souji.

The only problem is, she seems to have called the wrong person—

——Is the person in front of her really her Servant, Okita Souji?

"Hmm... has he grown a few centimeters taller?" Kanzuki Ringo on the side looked down at "Souji" lying on the ground, tilted her head, and tried to find a reasonable explanation from this scene.

"Isn't this the main point?!" Patricia couldn't help but exclaim, "I just went out, why did I not only become darker, but my hair also grew longer and whiter?!"

"Maybe... it was blackened by the artillery fire outside?" Guanyue Ringo tilted her head innocently. "Or maybe it was burned?"

Patricia held her forehead helplessly, looking down at the "Okita Souji" before her. Although the face was almost identical, there were many details that revealed a strong sense of dissonance.

——Her skin color turned brown and dark, no longer as fair as before; her originally short cherry-colored hair had now turned snow-white and long, scattered on the ground, and the weapon in her hand had turned into a large sword that the two had never seen before.

"What should we do now?"

"Hmm... let's treat her first and wait until she wakes up, right?" Kanzuki Ringo's tone was quite uncertain. It was obvious that she had never seen such a situation before. "Maybe it's some new combat form of Souji-chan?"

"In that case, wouldn't it be better to use the red form from the beginning?"

If Red A is a normal summon, Kiritsugu is a superimposed cyclone summon, then Demon General is a fusion summon (confusion

The third guardian of the restraining force has arrived!

By the way, Hijikata Toshizo's last battle was actually a confrontation between the Tokugawa shogunate and the new government army, but the current scene is a replica of his last battle with the artillery bombardment from the Tokugawa shogunate (

Volume 41: The Kyoto Holy Grail War without nagging: . How dare you, an ADC, show up in front of the top laner?

Karna unleashed the surging magic within him at this moment. The searing energy burned like a blazing flame around him, like a walking sun. His magic didn't just burn on his surface; it distorted the very air itself. Wherever the flames passed, the air surged like a sea of fire. His body was like a shooting star, slashing a dazzling golden streak against the night sky. He soared unstoppably towards Nijo Castle. The wind whistled in his ears, and the burning airwaves swirled countless dust clouds. Trees along his path were severed by the invisible pressure, sending earth and rocks flying.

"Magic Release (Flame): A"

The power to infuse weapons with magical energy. In Karna's case, blazing flames transform into magical energy and attach to the weapon. This skill is constantly activated, affecting all weapons held by Karna. At full power, the duration must not exceed ten seconds, otherwise an ordinary magus, acting as the Master, will be paralyzed, and even a top-tier magus will become exhausted and unable to perform magic. With a vast, even near-infinite, supply of magical energy, it is even possible to fly by jetting flames, reaching speeds of up to 400 kilometers per hour.

At the same time, Sharma, in the distance, gently set down the test tube in his hand and looked up at Karna's receding figure. He pursed his lips, feeling the magic power rapidly surge through his body. The source of magic was instantly filled to the point of overflowing, and his body was almost out of control due to the excessive magic power.

——He finally understood why Xing Qingjiu asked him to dilute the wine before drinking it or to take only small sips at a time.

However, even if he really goes berserk due to excessive magic power, it won't be a big problem, because Karna will drain his magic power quickly anyway.

Amidst the blazing flames, Karna pressed forward towards Nijo Castle. Otomo Sorin's artillery fire was incredibly conspicuous, the explosions lighting up nearly half of Kyoto. He made no effort to conceal himself. This made it easy for Karna to locate his target. However, just when he was only a few hundred meters from the walls of Nijo Castle—

——A sudden black shadow suddenly leaped up from the city wall.

"What?" Karna narrowed his eyes slightly, his alert subconsciously heightened. The flames instantly intensified, and the temperature around him climbed again. The figure's speed was astonishing, almost instantly leaping in front of him. With that figure came a spear, whistling through the air, aiming directly at Karna's vitals.

The sharp spear tip flashed with a cold light, and with great force and weight, it struck Karna's chest with a fierce sense of oppression. Facing this sudden attack, Karna swiftly swung the weapon in his hand, and flames erupted like an erupting volcano, colliding with the spear.

"Bang!" The immense force of the impact sent a gust of wind surging, forcing Karna to stop and land firmly on the ground. The ground around him cracked as he touched down, unable to withstand the force, sending debris flying.

"Cough cough cough... You kid, your body is so hot..." The figure who successfully stopped Karna from the air was now waving his arms in embarrassment, trying to put out the sparks on his beard.

"You are the Lancer of this Holy Grail War, right? My lord has ordered me to intercept you here." Honda Tadakatsu straightened his back and wiped the sweat from his forehead. The residual heat of the flames still lingered around him. "I am Honda Tadakatsu."

Karna stared at the warrior before him. However, before he could respond to the other's introduction, a deafening roar came to his ears.

——Otomo Sorin's indiscriminate artillery fire swept in from afar again, flames exploded in the night sky, the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and gunpowder smoke, the ground became bumpy due to continuous explosions, a suffocating scene like hell.

"Hahahaha! Looks like Otomo-kun can't wait to turn this place into a battlefield!" Honda Tadakatsu laughed fearlessly, his head thrown back. He tightened his grip on the spear, which had seemed exaggerated and enormous, but now seemed remarkably steady in his hands. Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed towards Karna, following the direction of the artillery fire.

Honda Tadakatsu's steps on the battlefield were incredibly agile. Though shells exploded constantly around him, sending smoke and shrapnel flying around him, he precisely avoided the bombardment with every step, even using the impact of the artillery fire to propel himself forward like the wind. The bursting air currents pushed his body, causing his speed to increase dramatically in a short period of time, and he pounced on Karna with even more ferocious momentum.

"Eastern Warriors: A+"

Honda Tadakatsu fought in fifty-seven battles, both large and small, without ever being injured, earning him the title of "Eastern Kingdom's Only Fierce General." The Noble Phantasm he gained from this feat grants him a one-rank increase in Agility and Endurance in combat.

If in a "battlefield" environment, all attributes of Honda Tadakatsu will be increased by one rank, and durability will be increased by an additional rank.

He often fought against large numbers of soldiers in battles where he was outnumbered, often managing to defeat larger numbers with fewer men. This was not achieved solely through personal bravery, but by fully utilizing all the circumstances on the battlefield. Even powerful enemies like Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, and Hashiba Hideyoshi were impressed by Honda Tadakatsu's calm deployment and battle planning.

When in the "battlefield" environment, everything in the "battlefield", whether it is artillery fire or rain of arrows, will not have any negative impact on Honda Tadakatsu, but will instead become his help.

Although it was the Holy Grail War, if Honda Tadakatsu and Karna were in a one-on-one situation, it would be difficult to call this environment a "battlefield" no matter how you look at it.

——But if you add in Ōtomo Sorin's indiscriminate bombardment, then at this moment, the environment here is undoubtedly a "battlefield." Ōtomo Sorin's bombardment has no time to pay attention to Honda Tadakatsu, satisfying the trigger conditions of his skills while suppressing the enemy and providing support to Honda Tadakatsu.

"clang--!"

The two spears collided with a resounding bang, sparks of fire scattering everywhere, and a powerful shockwave spread across the ground, sending rubble and dust flying everywhere. Karna's power was terrifying, and the flames surged like a raging tide. Honda Tadakatsu's spear trembled slightly under the immense impact.

However, Honda Tadakatsu was ultimately no match for Karna's unleashed magical power. The difference in strength put him at a disadvantage in the wrestling match, but he chose not to confront him head-on. Just as he was about to be repelled, he deftly exploited the opponent's force and quickly retreated, his entire body as light as a feather, deftly neutralizing the impact.
