Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

So the closer he got to the Blood Temple, the more uneasy Jin Gu became.

He was suspicious and every time he passed a big tree or rock, he would think that Xia Yuan had set an ambush here, and then he would observe carefully.

He was originally arrogant and proud, and like all other people, he was like a frightened bird in desperate situations. Any slight movement or the sound of a storm would make him terrified.

But... nothing really happened along the way.

This abnormal situation made Jin Gu feel very unbelievable.

He couldn't believe that with such a good opportunity, they didn't take advantage of his serious injury to chase him, or set an ambush on his way back to the temple?

Just let me go like this? How is this possible?!

But the outline of the Blood Temple, which was less than two kilometers away from him and already visible to the naked eye, told him that this was real.

The surrounding forest has gradually disappeared, and the view in front of us has turned into a cave, which is the monster's lair, the Blood Temple.

The scene before him was constantly telling him.

I have escaped from the desperate situation.

Good, good, that’s great.

Jin Gu felt an uncontrollable excitement.

Those guys must be afraid of sacrifice, afraid that they would detonate the Holy Grail and the Heavenly Chains and fight to the death with them, that's why no one chased after them.

Although this assumption is a bit outrageous, it is the most reasonable answer at the moment.

“Hahahahahaha——!! As expected of humans, as expected of the most despicable race, as expected of failures abandoned by their mother. To survive, they actually did such a ridiculous thing!!”

Thinking of the horrible split in their mouths that might occur due to the pursuit, Jin Gu couldn't help but laugh wildly towards the sky, mocking the meanness of those humans from the bottom of his heart.

Then, laughing, he ran towards the nearby Blood Temple.

As long as he gets there, he will be saved.

As long as he entered the Blood Temple, no matter whether those guys chased him or not, they would not be able to kill him.

"Master of Chaldea, wait for me. This matter is not over yet. When I recover, I will..."

The outline of the Blood Temple was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that it would be reached in just a few more steps. Suddenly, Jin Gu felt a flash of white in front of his eyes. Suddenly, the thick ground under his feet supported him. He could not stop and finally crashed into it.

boom--! !

With a dull sound, mud splashed into his mouth, and the splashing gravel broke his already shattered body.

What happened? What happened? What happened?

Endless questions arose in Jin Gu's mind.

The ground did not stand up before his eyes, but he fell straight to the ground. Less than a hundred meters away from the Blood Temple, he fell...

How can this be? ! !

Clearly, the earth told him that there was no one ambushing around, and no one was chasing him.

Where on earth did this sudden attack come from? !

Wu Xiao~!!

The golden-haired Servant Smoke Mirror, who was the mastermind behind the incident, slowly gathered his strength and then jumped down from a high tree, holding the strange pistol that was emitting heat in his left hand.

Of course, the Sky Chain was unable to see through his disguise. As long as he didn't want to show up, even Quetzalcoatl couldn't find him.

"What? Isn't my shooting skill pretty accurate?"

That’s right, Jin Gu’s chest had just been pierced by his special thermal weapon, and his entire body lost strength and fell to the ground.

He was following Xia Yuan's instructions and had been waiting for Jingu's arrival around the temple to complete the hunting mission.

Although Xia Yuan had already warned him not to use modern firearms when finishing off the situation, but to use his real skills that he had used when fighting Quetzalcoatl, he must ensure that he was successfully defeated and his body and the Holy Grail inside were recovered.

This shows an extreme lack of trust in his shooting skills!

Although his shooting skills are indeed a bit random, he is still very accurate sometimes, okay?

And seeing such a high-quality prey like Jingu, how could he resist?

After all, such an opportunity to use God's creation as a moving target is rare, so Smoke Mirror took advantage of his inattention and fired a shot.

Fortunately, Jingu moves in a straight line, so it can be easily hit as long as the reservation point is set.

Moreover, it is precisely this kind of enemy who becomes more relaxed in vigilance the closer they are to the target, making it easiest to launch a sneak attack.

Although he was also prepared to break into the Blood Temple and kill Jingu if he failed.

Seeing the target being shot and falling to the ground, Smoke Mirror jumped down from the tall tree and quickly came to the side of the prey.

He bent down and looked at Jin Gu, who was lying in front of him and was dying, with a hint of mockery on his lips.

"Is this the body of the Mesopotamian god's creation? It's surprisingly fragile."

"But since you're about to start your journey, I'll tell you a simple truth. Even though you won't have the chance to apply it next time."

“Never let your guard down until you actually reach your goal. Otherwise, victory will slip further and further away from you.”

It was just a simple philosophy, but it became the last words in Jingu's life.

At this moment, he could not make any sound, and could not even put up a final resistance. Even the strength to detonate the Holy Grail was gone, and he had completely become a lamb to be slaughtered.

Just like the humans he had slaughtered, weak and powerless.

The bullets fired from the smoke mirror were not ordinary ammunition, but specially made ammunition. Once hit by it, even a creature created by God would suffer damage that would be difficult to heal in a short period of time.

After he finished speaking, Smoke Mirror had no intention of continuing chatting with his prey.

Prepare to fight quickly and complete the commission given by the Master.

He leaned over, then raised his arm and grabbed Jin Gu's back hard.

boom--! !

There was a crisp sound like some kind of porcelain breaking, and as Smoke Mirror's hand reached into his body, Jin Gu couldn't help but widen his eyes. Then the last ray of life that remained finally disappeared completely the moment Smoke Mirror pulled out the Holy Grail.

Because of Kingu's death, the body of Enkidu, the Heavenly Chain, once again turned into an empty shell and fell quietly in front of the smoke mirror.

"Oh, is this the Holy Grail? It contains a huge amount of magic power in its core. It is really a simple and practical little trick, but it has no effect on me. When you return, give this to the Master and use it to exchange for some vehicles of their time."

After playing with the Holy Grail in his hand for a while, Smoke Mirror casually put it into his arms and thought so.

Compared to this useless Holy Grail in your hand, it would be more interesting to exchange it for interesting guns or vehicles from the Master's era.

"Ok?"

As if sensing some special aura, Smoke Mirror turned his head to look at the Blood Temple standing in front of him, then raised his eyebrows slightly.

Immediately afterwards, just before a huge black shadow appeared in the temple, Qie carried Enkidu's body and turned into a cloud of light smoke and quickly left.

There was no direct encounter with the monster.

Anyway, the task entrusted by the master has been completed, and he will not do any extra work.

He hated doing meaningless things the most. Compared to the fake Heaven's Lock he had just killed, the monster inside was at best just a larger chess piece.

If it is really disposed of, it may cause some unpleasant chain reactions.

It is not yet the time to destroy the monster. It is best to wait for the Master and the others to solve it themselves.

If he really wants to kill the monsters inside, it's not impossible, just add money...

After all, he has always been fair and just in doing business?

His way of doing things is to do as much work as he is paid.

Chapter 183: Meeting of the Demon Pillar

Jie Jie Jie...

"What a useless guy!"

"Jin Gu, that useless guy, was destroyed so easily!"

"The Holy Grail that was given to him was also taken back by Chaldea. What should we do now?"

In the infinitely vast imaginary space, a temple shining with brilliant light stands alone.

This is the palace of the Magic King, and also his most powerful barrier treasure [Grand Temple of Time]

Under the empty white royal pillars, the figure who called himself King Solomon on the throne rested his chin lightly, pondering the special situation currently happening in the seventh singularity.

Even he was a little surprised by Jin Gu's sudden death.

The demon pillars below also cursed Kingu, the arrogant fool, for giving away his life in vain in his attempt to intercept the Master of Chaldea.

"He was a smart-assed fool who couldn't even understand the situation. Not only did he die before Tiamat revived, he even lost the Holy Grail we gave him to Chaldea."

"At this rate, it's only a matter of time before the seventh singularity is captured..."

"No, instead of criticizing that idiot, we should think about what to do next. The mysterious Master who suddenly appeared is powerful enough not to be underestimated, not to mention that he has contracted with Karna and that blond Servant whose depth is unclear. If Gorgon is left alone, he will not be able to resist."

"It will take time and magic to resurrect Tiamat, but now not only King Kong but also the Holy Grail has disappeared. The process of Tiamat's resurrection has been greatly delayed. We must think of a solution."

"…You have a point. We must take action."

"But where did that weird guy come from? And he has the ability to fight the Sky Chain head-on in a short period of time. I didn't expect that in addition to Chaldea, there are also human masters who have arrived at this singularity."

Barbatos replied in a deep voice: "I don't know."

"..."

The collective demon pillars also fell silent.

"But it's not a good idea to make random guesses here. Let the king take a look at the master's background."

In the end, it was Paimon, one of the Four Supreme Pillars, who made a fairly useful suggestion, ending the meaningless debate among the Demon Pillars.

Morax: "Second."

Beelzebub: "I agree."

After a brief vote, the Demon Pillars all adopted Paimon's suggestion and turned their eyes to look at the new king, Goetia, who was born from the remains of the Magic King Solomon and was sitting on the white throne.

"..."

Being stared at by so many big eyes of the Demon Pillar, Goetia just shook his head slightly, sighed helplessly, then slowly stood up from the throne and made the final decision.

"I have my own plans regarding the seventh singularity."

"First of all, the seventh singularity is a crucial part of the plan. There is no reason for us to give it to those guys in Chaldea for nothing."

"Let's send some of the Demon Pillars to the Seventh Singularity to take over Kingu's job, and revive that guy along the way. In order to awaken the Mother Goddess of Creation in the Primordial Sea, that guy still has a very important role to play, so let's make the best use of him."

"Resurrect Jin Gu?"

The Demon Pillars could all understand the orders given by Goetia.

Even if Goetia didn't say it, they would go to the singularity as usual to stop the Master of Chaldea.

But how to resurrect Jingu?

Through the Holy Grail on Kingu's body, didn't they see that Kingu had been killed by the blond Servant? Then their connection with the Holy Grail was cut off. Now that Enkidu's body had fallen into the hands of Chaldea, how should they revive this dead fool?

"You don't have to worry about that. Even though he's stupid, he's still the son of Tiamat. As long as he's in Mesopotamia, he'll still have a chance to be resurrected even if he's destroyed by other people or gods."

In response to the Demon Pillar's doubts, Goetia gave the answer, and his eyes saw the possibility of Kingu's resurrection.

"When the Gorgon arrived at the Blood Temple, there was still some golden earth left. Although there is only a little bit left, it is enough to be used as material for resurrection. Even after resurrection, it will not have much rationality, but it is just right to be used as a tool. You only need to take the holy grail I gave you to scoop up the earth, perform magic to awaken the consciousness in it, and finally put it into a suitable body."

After saying that, Goetia raised his hand and threw the three remaining holy grails in his hand to the demon pillars below.

Compared to Jingu, the foolish collaborator with ulterior motives, he naturally did not need to hold back too much towards his subordinates, the Demon Pillars who were his companions, and handed over all the extra Holy Grails to them.

"But King Jiao, what's going on with that human Master who suddenly appeared in the singularity? Not only Karna, but also that blond Servant is also confusing to us."

Before the action began, Barbatos, who was always wise among the Demon Pillars, remembered the previous question and asked.

At this moment, the collective gaze of the Demon Pillars was once again focused on Goetia.

"..."

Goetia just shook his head slightly and replied, "I don't know."

"have no idea?!!"

"Well, I do have some impression of that blond Servant, but the human figure has not appeared in my eyes. Even though I saw his figure with my own eyes, I couldn't see through his future, nor his past. It was as if he suddenly appeared out of thin air, without any trace."

Yes, Goetia was shocked when he saw the blond servant appear, because unlike the Demon Pillars who could not see through the identity of the Smoke Mirror, Solomon's clairvoyance could observe the Smoke Mirror.
