My mother's love song

"……Varied."

She couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.

Dorothea looked up and saw the young man standing in front of her with a smirk on his face.

The one waiting for him with his hands in his pockets like a hunter waiting for his prey was none other than Rhodes.

The vampire girl's face turned pale instantly, and she stammered and yelled: "You didn't say..."

Rhodes interrupted: "I never said I wouldn't take action."

Must escape!

As this thought rang in the vampire's mind, she instinctively jumped back with all her strength, trying to get as far away from Rhodes as possible.

however.

Dorothea jumped up, but didn't move an inch from where she was.

Not a single movement.

Can't move.

At some point, Dorothea's feet and legs, which were wearing high heels, had been frozen to the ground.

"what is this?"

Faced with this unexpected situation, even Dorothea, a vampire, felt at a loss.

In fact, even though she was killed three times by Crazy Xinzi within two days, she was not worried about her own safety at all.

Because Fanatic can't really kill her.

What are Dead Apostles?

The Dead Apostles are enemies that erode human history.

One of the most basic abilities of high-ranking Dead Apostles is "extremely high resistance to Noble Phantasms and magic from pan-human history."

This is the real reason why the Dead Apostles are not afraid of powerful magicians, but avoid the Holy Church.

And among the spirit cores that Dorothea received, there were even strange beings that could resist magic.

When she appears in her true form as a young vampire girl, most magic and treasures should have no effect on her!

So, what is the mystery that now freezes Dorothea's feet?

"This is the Principle Blood Ring..."

Dorothea murmured in a trembling voice, "Is it the [Freezing Principle] that was taken from Flov!?"

Rhodes nodded calmly: "That's right."

After Tiamat defeated Zufrov the Nineteenth, she collected the Principle Blood Ring No. 19 that he had and then gave it to Rhodes.

In the setting of "Tsukihime Remastered", magicians or agents of the Holy Church can recycle the Principle Blood Ring of the Dead Apostles and cultivate it into a great magic outfit.

What Rhodes is using now is the Principle Blood Ring No. 19 which has not yet been fully cultivated.

It can lower the surrounding temperature to -100℃, or even reach absolute zero, and can also create ice spears and other auxiliary combat items.

This is the effect when used by the half-baked Dead Apostle Flov.

But if it is cultivated and used by Rhodes, it will undoubtedly be able to exert a power far beyond this.

"I'm just using you to test the effect." Rhodes said lightly.

You are only fit for testing, showing such a joyful smile, which made Dorothea clench her teeth deeply.

Humph, don't think this thing can trap me. It's just losing my legs, this kind of thing...

Dorothea was about to complain when she suddenly realized something.

Rhodes, how did he track me from such a long distance?

Assassin, who had perfected his skills, was unable to catch up with him.

"What is this place?"

This illusion... no, could it be an inherent barrier?

"Ahh, you finally noticed?"

As Rhode walked over here, he slowly said, "It seems that I haven't been a blood-sucking insect for hundreds of years in vain."

"This is a world of death created by me for the Dead Apostles."

The void world created by the White Knight's Noble Phantasm is where Rhodes imprisoned Dorothea.

"The time when I was locked in the inherent barrier...was it when it exploded just now!?"

The vampire girl had a stunned expression on her pale face.

"That's right. You haven't left the place where you crushed your heart. You haven't moved a step."

"...!"

Dorothea showed an expression of great humiliation.

After hearing what the boy said, she felt even more like a monkey dancing in the palm of Buddha.

The ease with which Dorothea had handled herself minutes ago had long since disappeared.

Her face turned pale and blue, and she asked nervously, "What are you going to do to me?"

"Tokyo is my kingdom. Dead Apostles like you are really an eyesore to me."

Rhodes had a fake smile on his face.

"But I am a very compassionate person and don't like to kill. So I came up with the best idea!

I will lock up all the dead apostles who sneak into Tokyo in this area, and let you who love blood and fighting have a chicken battle royale hosted by me."

"What did you say?"

Dorothea frowned at this ridiculous plan.

"In other words, this is a Holy Grail War with the Dead Apostles as the theme! Only one person can escape this world of death alive! I will give that Dead Apostle endless glory and thunderous applause!"

"Are you...kidding me?"

Facing Zesta who was gritting his teeth, the boy chuckled.

"But before that, I need to make you understand what will happen if you set your sights on my woman."

Rhodes walked towards her, cracking his finger bones.

"You've been talking to yourself since a while ago. My patience has reached its limit... I have a strong desire to monopolize women."

Seeing the evil smile on the boy's face, Dorothea's tight dress was soaked with cold sweat.

"Wait, wait! You wouldn't hit a woman, right? Surrender! I surrender!"

"You are not a human but a vampire! Oh my!"

The iron fist thrown out suddenly hit the vampire girl's face hard, deforming Dorothea's beautiful face, and the whole person was swept away by a gust of wind.

……

……

……

"The cooperation with the Pale Knight just now was perfect... really amazing."

Rhodes sat on Kuang Xinzi's lower back and said lightly.

"Yes, yes, Master... Thank you for your reward, Gwuuu..."

The Assassin girl's voice and body trembled, and a faint blush appeared under her black veil.

The reason was that Rhodes, who was sitting on her back, stretched out a finger and pressed it on her back skin.

Gently stroking back and forth along the spine, from the back of the neck to the back, wherever the fingertips touched brought waves of numbing electric currents to this abstinent body.

Well, that's what's called a reward.

"Okay, it's almost time for me to leave."

Rhodes saw a white figure in the distance running towards him, waving his hands and shaking his breasts, so he got up from Kuang Xinzi's back.

"Kuang Xinzi, I'll leave the night patrol to you."

The girl raised her head, revealing a somewhat unsatisfied expression: "Understood. Please be careful, Master."

The fanatic who was still on the ground just now seemed to have melted and disappeared.

"...Where's that vampire from before?"

Elquet looked around curiously. Rhode shrugged and lied, "She got away. My men are tracking her down."

"That's it."

"It's about time to go back today."

"Yeah, I think the zombies here have been almost wiped out."

The two nodded in tacit understanding, turned around and started walking towards the hotel.

"Rod, you are very popular among your subordinates."

Elquet said with a grin, his hands behind his back.

"It's fine." Rhodes said, "Would you like to eat something before going back to the hotel?"

The True Ancestor girl raised her hand excitedly and gave the standard answer of every foreigner who had just arrived in Japan.

"I want ramen!"

"There's no ramen at four in the morning, Princess."

"Eh~~~Humans' schedules are so troublesome."

Rhode tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Shall I go back downstairs and give it to you?"

"That's great!"

Elquet came to Rod's side and hugged his arm happily.

……

……

……

At the same time, Tokyo Haneda International Airport.

A girl with scarlet pupils slowly walked down from the plane and stepped onto the land of the Far Eastern Island Country.

After brushing her long flowing black hair, Artluqi licked her lips with her tongue.

"My partner, my master... Father, I am here to see you."

Chapter 427 Reversal of "Impulse"

After returning to the hotel from the streets in deep winter, Rod made a bowl of noodles in the hotel with ingredients bought from a 24-hour convenience store and brought it to Elquet.

"...Oh, thank you, Rod."

Elquet looked at the fragrant ramen in surprise, and then used the chopsticks very skillfully.

"Hmm? You know how to use chopsticks?"

Rod opened a can of beer and sat down opposite the princess.

"Well, actually, this is my first time using chopsticks. Although I have a general idea of ​​what they are, it is just knowledge after all. The same goes for ramen."

Elquet blew the noodles carefully.

"I see. Has the planet instilled the knowledge of this era into me?"

"Well, every time I wake up, I will receive information from that era before taking action."

"Come to think of it, you don't need to eat, right?"

After Rhodes said this, Elquet nodded as a matter of course.
