Alchemy Principles of Type-Moon World

I originally wanted to describe a larger scene of killing, but after writing for a long time, I changed my mind and thought it was not right. If the scope was too large, then the masters near Karna and the people in Kyoto would have been roasted alive. After all, whether it is FA or FGO, Karna is fighting in the wilderness.

So I wrote a description of his suppression range, which "reduced the expressiveness" while keeping the power unchanged. It may make Karna's expressiveness look a little weaker, but if Karna is allowed to completely release the Noble Phantasm without caring about ordinary people, it will feel OOC (

Volume 44: The Kyoto Holy Grail War Without a Nagging Message: . "Highland", "Axiao", "Monkey"

The flames that had been scorching Nijo Castle gradually subsided, the once ferocious, avalanche-like beams of blazing light gradually extinguishing. The remains of Nijo Castle had been reduced to ash, leaving only ruins on the ground, scorched to a crystalline, glassy clarity by the intense heat, still emitting an unsettling lingering warmth. The air still stank of burning, the night sky gradually shrouded in returning darkness, and the building that had been twisting wildly in the flames had long since vanished without a trace.

As the curtain of flames drew back, the scene hidden behind Nijo Castle was revealed. Suspended there was an illusory Holy Grail, gleaming and dazzling as if cast from gold. It floated quietly in mid-air, its light gently reflecting on the charred ruins, creating a tranquil scene starkly different from the brutal battlefield.

Under the light of the golden Holy Grail, Tokugawa Ieyasu half-knelt on the ground, the glass-like ground beneath his knees still radiating a scorching warmth. Karna slowly approached, gazing at the young man, expecting him to move, but was surprised to find—

——He is eating sushi!

Ieyasu's cheeks puffed out. Facing the raging fire that had nearly destroyed everything, he showed no sign of panic, not even a hint of fatigue. On the contrary, the moment the flames dissipated, he quickly stopped, his expression relaxed, and then carefully placed the unfinished sushi in his hand back into the food box.

He casually dropped the pill in his other hand onto the ground and quickly swallowed the last bite of sushi, but suddenly stopped in the next second with a look of pain on his face.

——He choked!

The young man suddenly pounded his chest, his brow furrowed, his face turning from red to purple, looking extremely embarrassed. His hands eagerly touched his chest, slapping himself hard, so hard that the armor made a "clang clang" sound.

"Ahem!" He finally managed a weak cough, and the piece of sushi suddenly slid down his throat. His expression quickly relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief, his Adam's apple rolling up and down, looking very embarrassed.

Mofofo... The boy is just a Kagemusha, and it is impossible for him to have the same good appetite as the real Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Tokugawa Ieyasu carefully put away the lacquer food box. There were only two pieces of sushi left in it. In the absence of other magic supplies, this was his last means of replenishing his magic power.

Although his independent action skill is as high as A-rank, allowing him to continue fighting without a Master, the use of "Ten Medicine Boxes: A+" requires a large amount of magic power to repair his injuries, and this is something he cannot ignore even when acting independently.

Without a Master, he originally relied on Tokugawa Ieyasu and the Paradox Grail for his magic. However, with Tokugawa Ieyasu's death and his soul returning to the Grail, the safety device activated, cutting off all magic. After the Paradox Grail's safety device was activated, the Servant would not be able to establish a magic connection. If the Paradox Grail detected him approaching, his soul would be instantly shattered.

However, even if the magic power is a bit low, as long as the spearman doesn't release a Noble Phantasm of that scale again in a short period of time, it won't be a problem if it takes a whole day.

——It’s nothing more than a competition of who can endure longer. In this regard, even Tokugawa Ieyasu’s Kagemusha has never been afraid of anyone!

It would be better to say that it is precisely because it is the Kagemusha who does the daily work that the boy may be more patient than Tokugawa Ieyasu himself.

Tokugawa Ieyasu slowly stood up and, with a wave of his hand, his red armor began to rapidly disintegrate. The heavy armor broke into pieces, separating from his body and dissipating. As the last piece of armor detached, he stretched out his hand and the Tombokiri silently returned to his hand. The gun flashed with a cold light, quietly waiting for the next attack.

「Class switch: Rider → Lancer」

Noble Phantasm Release: "Eastern Warriors: A+"

A low hum filled the air. With the help of the Lancer class, Tokugawa Ieyasu's agility had further increased, reaching an A+++ level unattainable by ordinary people. The ground beneath his feet instantly cracked, and with a push of his feet, the Tonkiri in his hand swung out a sharp silver light, transforming into a gust of wind and rushing towards Karna in mid-air.

——As a matter of course, no injuries!

Karna swung his magic spear, and the tip of the spear was pressed against Tokugawa Ieyasu's chest. Just as the magic spear was about to pierce the spiritual core, the parts of the red armor that had long disappeared reappeared, and instantly took shape, covering Tokugawa Ieyasu's body, wrapping him tightly, and barely blocking Karna's counterattack.

「Class switch: Lancer → Rider」

Noble Phantasm Liberation: "Akabei Gallop: Gale Gale Galloping on the Battlefield (Akabei Gale Gale? Gale Wind Gale Gale): B++"

The red armor began to glow faintly, and magical power gushed out from the crevices of the armor like a fountain, propelling Tokugawa Ieyasu's body to dodge Karna's spear. If the original user was Ii Naomasa, this Noble Phantasm would also summon a warhorse to gallop across the battlefield.

However, Tokugawa Ieyasu was unable to summon his warhorse, and originally, he was unable to fully unleash this Noble Phantasm. However, when Ii Naomasa handed this red armor to Tokugawa Ieyasu, he vowed that he had referenced contemporary Japanese Rider works and had modified it so that it could still be unleashed normally even without the warhorse.

—The warhorse is unimportant! The visor of the red armor helmet swiftly popped out, covering Tokugawa Ieyasu's face. Two crimson rays of light suddenly flashed from his eyes. From behind the armor, a gust of magical power erupted, propelling his body into the sky like a streak of light, easily avoiding Karna's pursuit.

「Class switch: Rider → Archer」

The remaining cannon in the ruins clattered heavily, its muzzle automatically turning to aim at Karna in mid-air. With a resounding bang, a fierce barrage of fire instantly poured out, striking Karna like a barrage. Flames blazed in all directions, and the vibrations resembling thunder.

「Class Switch: Archer → Assassin」

Under the cover of artillery fire, a small flying kunai silently flew through the smoke and dust, hidden in the firelight, and quickly approached Karna's back. The kunai was extremely fast, and its edge was icy cold.

——Noble Phantasm Release: "Nameless Kunai: A"

Rather than calling it Hattori Hanzo's Noble Phantasm, it's more like a combo of his many ninjutsu. Illusions, substitutions, invisibility, assassinations... a series of ninjutsu work together to achieve the ultimate in deceiving and assassinating the enemy.

However, if Hattori Hanzo himself were to perform this technique, he could use his fake body to throw the kunai, rather than switching positions with the kunai as it approached. While approaching the opponent from a first-person perspective allows for quicker reactions, the danger level is also greatly increased. Perhaps only Hattori Hanzo, who is extremely confident in his skills, would dare to use such a risky assassination technique.

The kunai flashed through the air, and Karna's eyes were filled with flames, while the deadly threat behind him was quietly approaching. Just as the kunai was about to pierce Karna's back, the flying kunai suddenly transformed into the figure of Tokugawa Ieyasu. He grasped the kunai in his hand and thrust it into Karna's back with almost all his strength.

In an instant, the kunai pierced through the impenetrable golden armor. However, the next moment, it was consumed by the inextinguishable divine fire within Karna's body, instantly reducing it to ash. Even Tokugawa Ieyasu's arm was burned.

Tokugawa Ieyasu watched as the kunai was reduced to ash. The destruction of his Noble Phantasm, "Nameless Kunai: A," left him unable to maintain his Assassin class. The flow of his magical energy was suddenly cut off, and the aura on his body dissipated completely. Forced to switch back to his original class, Tokugawa Ieyasu lost all the bonuses his class had granted him. His once-condensed strength instantly dissipated, and his body felt the backlash of weakness.

Before Tokugawa Ieyasu could react, the air around him suddenly became blazing, as if the entire space were on fire. Karna's magical power suddenly concentrated, and then he swung his divine spear down like a hurricane.

With a resounding bang, Tokugawa Ieyasu was slammed into the ground by the divine spear, sending dirt and broken bricks flying all around him. The entire ground cracked instantly, and Tokugawa Ieyasu's body was deeply embedded in the rubble.

Karna did not continue to pursue, but turned his attention to the shadow of the Holy Grail in mid-air, driving the release of magic power to propel himself straight over.

"Hey, spearman!" Tokugawa Ieyasu suddenly grabbed Tonakiri beside him and leaped up like lightning. In a cloud of dust, he hurled Tonakiri toward Karna in mid-air. Simultaneously, the broken bricks beneath his feet shattered, and his afterimage instantly caught up with the hurled Tonakiri, once again placing himself between Karna and the Holy Grail.

"You want the Holy Grail?" the young man deliberately raised his voice. Its magical power pierced the air, echoing throughout the air and even reaching every corner of Nakagyo Ward. "First, you have to get past me."

The boy's voice in the distance naturally reached Okita Alter's ears.

"Oh, the Holy Grail is right there." She tilted her head slightly, her narrow pupils narrowing slightly as her gaze fixed on the distant shadowy figure hanging over the ruins of Nijo Castle. Her pace suddenly quickened, sending a cloud of dust flying beneath her feet. Broken bricks and tiles were flung far from her feet. The previously calm air was stirred by her rapid movement like a whirlwind, and the ground beneath her seemed to be ripped open by the surface of water, stirring up waves of gray.

Amidst the shattered ruins of Tokyo, Karna's striking divine spear had become a dazzling pillar of light, its overwhelming heat faintly palpable even in the sky. Okita Alter's gaze swept across the area, unmistakably locking onto the battleground. She tightened her grip on the Ōdachi, her mind instantly becoming clear—

——The core of the singularity must be related to that place.

"Wait, wait!" Just as she was about to sprint, the mysterious voice in her head started clamoring again, "Don't you think this is a trap?!"

Okita Alter was slightly startled, and suddenly slowed down a bit. Subconsciously, she looked at the large sword in her hand, frowning slightly. "Hey? Who's talking?" She stared at the glowing blade and asked doubtfully, "Was it you who was talking just now?"

"I didn't say anything." Odachi's voice was low and helpless. "I already told you that you were hallucinating, Master."

"But just now someone suddenly said something in my head that it might be a trap..." Okita Alter muttered to himself, his voice slightly confused.

Odachi was silent for a moment, as if thinking, "Hmm... This kind of insight certainly doesn't seem like something you, Master, would come up with."

The corner of Okita Alter's eye twitched, and the knuckles of his fingers gripping the knife turned slightly white. "I have a feeling you're laughing at me..."

"Ah, I see." Odachi suddenly seemed to have come to a conclusion and said with a somewhat enlightened tone, "Maybe it's because the original owner of the spirit base hasn't fully fallen asleep yet?"

"I see." Okita Alter nodded, and then felt a little relieved, but her speed did not slow down at all, and she still rushed towards Nijo Castle like a gust of wind.

Just as she was rapidly approaching the battlefield, the voice in her mind sounded again, with obvious anxiety, "Hey, hey, hey, hey! That really looks like a trap, doesn't it?! Don't go over there--"

"While what you said makes sense," Okita Alter replied, "he said that if we defeat him, we can retrieve the Holy Grail, right?"

The voice in her head continued to clamor, but Okita Alter had long since ignored it. She turned her gaze forward again. The ruins of Nijo Castle were already before her, the shattered walls and rubble meeting her gaze. Through the gradually dispersing dust, she finally made out the two sides engaged in the aerial battle.

The one guarding the Holy Grail should be the handsome young man who keeps charging at the spearman wearing golden armor and holding a magic spear. To be honest, at first glance, Okita Alter was a little confused about the other person's gender.

The young man kept switching weapons, his posture changing accordingly, launching wave after wave of frantic attacks on the spearman holding the magic gun.

——Then he was shot to the ground again, and after being rubbed by the young man, the spearman looked like he had not suffered much damage at all.

It's probably like Jun Moxiao fighting a monkey on the high ground.

The young man's form shifted like the wind, his spear and sword alternated, his movements flamboyant and dazzling, his various forms shifting with incredible speed. Those complex and exquisite combos, the seamless flow of his moves, looked magnificent, but when they struck his opponent, they didn't cause even a shred of substantial damage.

—And if even the slightest flaw appeared, the spearmen would ruthlessly seize the opportunity. With a single powerful blow, the young man was instantly lashed out, falling to the ground like a kite with its string cut, his entire body embedded in the mud, sending up a cloud of dust.

It seems that the boy is fighting with the lancer. If we help the lancer defeat the boy, we can recover the Holy Grail and repair the singularity.

Okita Alter thought so and was about to draw his sword to attack, but was stopped by a mysterious voice in his head.

"Wait, wait, wait, look, that guy is already struggling just dealing with the spearmen. If we join the battle now, we'll probably be able to end it, but what if he still has some hidden treasures he hasn't used yet?" the mysterious voice said. "I think it's better to return the body to me so I can sneak over and take that Holy Grail."

"But you just said it might be a trap, right?" Okita Alter suddenly retorted, "Wouldn't it be a trap if I rushed over suddenly?"

"That's true... Then what are you going to do?"

"Work with that Lancer to defeat the guardian of the Holy Grail, then rush forward and take the Holy Grail."

“…Isn’t this the same thing that hasn’t changed?!”

"That seems to be the case," Okita Alter sighed softly, looking at the battle in front of her in confusion, her fingers tapping lightly on the hilt of the large sword. She suddenly lowered her head and asked the large sword in her hand: "Do you have any good suggestions?"

"what?"

"If I rush in and take the Holy Grail directly, I might fall into a trap. If I join the battle, I might be caught off guard by the hidden Noble Phantasm of the Holy Grail guardian."

Odachi was silent for a moment, as if thinking seriously about this question.

"How about this? You go over and introduce yourself and see how the spearman reacts," Odachi said. "If that goes well, you can hide some of your strength and work together to defeat the young guardian. Then, have the spearman scout the way to see if there are any traps near the Holy Grail. How about that?"

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

Now that I have written this far, I am not afraid of spoilers. Let me explain the relationship between Fujiwara no Shigenobu, Tokugawa Ieyasu and their Kagemusha:

Originally, using Nijo Castle as a medium for summoning would not guarantee the exact location of Tokugawa Ieyasu, given the numerous events that occurred there. The true medium, however, was the Paradox Holy Grail, hidden within Nijo Castle, housing the soul and body of the real Tokugawa Ieyasu, and through it, the Kagemusha, Tokugawa Ieyasu, was summoned.

At the same time, the soul residing in the Holy Grail was awakened. Due to the special nature of the Alterego's spirit base, the Shadow Warrior shared the spirit base with the real Tokugawa Ieyasu's body, allowing Tokugawa Ieyasu's soul to return to the body and revive. Then he hid himself as a Shadow Warrior, and it was Tokugawa Ieyasu himself who appeared in front of Fujiwara Shigenobu.

In simple terms, the real Archer is Kagemusha, but the public Archer is Tokugawa Ieyasu. This is why Tokugawa Ieyasu never meets the protagonist, because once they meet, the disguise will be exposed (the protagonist has recognized the real Archer).

That’s about it. The above is for a new author and a new book. Please vote and give me feedback. Thank you!

Volume 45: The Quiet Kyoto Holy Grail War: . Three People Die Luckily

Tokugawa Ieyasu felt that he finally didn't need to continue fighting. He was already feeling exhausted, and his armor was almost deformed by the heavy blows of the divine spear.

He had already spotted Okita Alter, a guy he had never seen before, hiding behind the rubble not far away.

That should be the guardian of the Third Rider's restraining force, perhaps a Servant sent to target Seiyoshi-kun. Although we don't know how she will restrain Seiyoshi-kun, since there is a possibility of targeting her, we absolutely cannot let her meet Seiyoshi-kun.

Tokugawa Ieyasu watched Okita Alter approaching him, and a smile was about to appear on his face.

——Yes, yes, that’s right. I was fighting with that spearman and had no time to look anywhere else. At this time, I should sneak over to the Holy Grail.

If the Paradox Holy Grail is touched by a person of this era or a Servant who descends into this world, it will immediately trigger a time paradox and be destroyed, thus preventing it from conveying the crucial information to Seijo-kun. Therefore, by returning the soul to the Paradox Holy Grail, Tokugawa Ieyasu forcibly activated its safety mode, which will unconditionally kill anyone who tries to approach.

As long as the guardian approaches the reconnaissance range of the Holy Grail, he will be eliminated without me having to do anything. That's great. Then I can pretend to be killed by the spearman, which will be a perfect ending.

Tokugawa Ieyasu reluctantly turned his gaze away from Okita Alter. Although he was eager to see if she could trigger the mechanism of the Holy Grail of Paradox, the Lancer before him simply didn't leave him any energy for distraction. Honestly, if that Agent didn't take the bait, he might not be able to hold out for much longer.

——After Hattori Hanzo's Noble Phantasm was destroyed, he lost the ability to switch between classes. This problem was quickly noticed by the Lancer, whose insight was truly terrifying.

His battle strategy also changed accordingly, from prioritizing attacking Tokugawa Ieyasu's body to prioritizing attacking his Noble Phantasm in an attempt to destroy it. This also made Tokugawa Ieyasu dare not switch to the Saber class to fight him. After all, "Ootengu Masaie" was just an ordinary Japanese sword. If the opponent deliberately attacked, it would probably break in less than two rounds.

In the gaps of Karna, he was able to shoot lasers from his eyes and accurately destroyed the remaining Guobeng Cannons nearby. The whole process was smooth and there was no delay at all.

Are you kidding me? Is this guy a monster? He's way too strong!

Although the stats provided by "If the cuckoo doesn't sing, wait for it to sing: EX" continue to rise, even after reaching EX, he has obtained the corresponding divinity of Tosho-jin, symbolizing the dominance of the Tokugawa shogunate.

——But all this still seems not enough to reverse the situation. If all the Noble Phantasms are destroyed, he will only have two fists left.

No matter how high his attributes are, without the support of a Noble Phantasm, Tokugawa Ieyasu, who has maxed out his life-saving skills, is nothing more than a durable punching bag.

Tokugawa Ieyasu leaned slightly to the side, yet in his heart he could not help but smugly ponder how he could act appropriately when Karna completely destroyed his last defense, thus making a smooth exit without compromising his dignity.

Suddenly, an almost silent figure flashed behind him silently.

"Polar: A" is the ultimate footwork that allows you to move in a variety of spaces with full stability.

With a flash of cold light, the Ōdachi in Okita Alter's hand slashed across Tokugawa Ieyasu's back. The blade, carrying a powerful surge of magical energy, tore a hideous wound through his tough armor. Blood gushed out instantly, and Ieyasu stumbled violently in the excruciating pain.

"My name is the Demon God (Human), Okita Souji, the Guardian of the Power of Restraint!" Okita Alter announced himself loudly, his voice echoing across the battlefield. "It is to recover the Holy Grail and repair the anomaly of this era... Uh oh?!"

「Class switch: Archer→Saber」

Noble Phantasm Release: "Unrivaled Swordsmanship: Sword and Zen as One"

With this action, Tokugawa Ieyasu's aura suddenly changed, and a flash of swift sword light appeared. At the same time, Karna swung his divine spear like a meteor, with a shocking force that could tear the air apart, blocking the sudden attack for Okita Alter.

"Clang!" The sound of swords and spears clashing was like thunder, magical energy surged, and sparks flew. Okita Alter was thrown back several steps by the immense force, his eyes filled with astonishment.

Karna pursued without hesitation, his spear blazing once more, aiming directly at Tokugawa Ieyasu's "Great Tengu Masaie." Blazing magic power concentrated on the spear's tip, aiming to destroy the Noble Phantasm in his hand with a single blow. However, Tokugawa Ieyasu had anticipated this, and at the moment Karna's attack approached, he quickly switched to the Rider class, his magical energy blasting out of the way instantly.

Instead of fleeing, Ieyasu spun mid-air, bypassing Karna and once again locking onto the newly arrived Okita Alter. Okita hadn't yet fully recovered his footing. Ieyasu no longer paid any attention to Karna, instead focusing his attention entirely on the newly arrived Okita Alter.

Karna noticed this series of abnormalities.

As early as the battle, Karna naturally noticed Okita Alter approaching from a distance, but what he didn't understand was——

—Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was fighting him, suddenly relaxed for a moment. Karna had originally suspected that the approaching Servant was an ally of Tokugawa Ieyasu, so he slowed down his attack slightly, focusing some of his attention on Okita Alter.

But when he saw Okita Alter turn around and suddenly attack Tokugawa Ieyasu, his previous inference was overturned.

So, how to explain this series of anomalies?

——When Tokugawa Ieyasu attacked Okita Alter regardless of the consequences, the answer was obvious.

Whether it was the deliberate emission of glow or the deliberate loud call with magic just now, the purpose was to attract the so-called guardian of restraining power.

This is the trap set for the guardian.
