Public executions started with King Adonai

"At least, this proves that I was here."

In a flash, Kikyo had already made up her mind.

This change in mentality was played out through the light screen image, allowing people to directly see the change in Kikyo's mentality.

In an instant, many people felt something was wrong.

Although Fujimaru Tachibana's arrival prevented Kikyo from sacrificing herself, Kikyo's spirit of sacrifice was very strong. She was a holy shrine maiden who was not afraid of death at all.

When such a person really believes that success can only be achieved through his own sacrifice, the witch will choose to sacrifice without hesitation.

From ancient times to the present, there have been too many such people, especially in ancient Yingzhou.

You should know that Yingzhou was a place where sacrificial activities took place frequently in ancient times, and many of them were living sacrifices. Those selected girls would be offered to gods, demons and monsters as witches.

Although Kikyo is different from those sacrifices that can only be sacrificed, how could a shrine maiden who grew up in that environment not have the spirit of sacrificing herself?

You can see this by looking at the memories of Kikyo's life that were shown previously.

In that memory, Kikyo was seriously injured by a sneak attack by Naraku who turned into a dog demon. In fact, such an injury would not kill this holy priestess. As long as she wanted, she could heal herself.

However, Kikyo still chose to sacrifice herself.

Because this shrine maiden believed that all the misfortunes were caused by the Four Souls Jade, after being tragically "betrayed" and sealing her beloved with her own hands, she chose to sacrifice herself to take away the Four Souls Jade, the source of all evil.

Therefore, now that she has encountered the powerful enemy Naraku who cannot be killed, it is only natural that Kikyo will feel the will to sacrifice herself.

I just don't know how Kikyo can sacrifice herself and get rid of Naraku at the same time.

The situation now is very clear. Kikyo is being suppressed badly and cannot kill Naraku even at the risk of her life. In this situation, what can she do even if she sacrifices herself?

Only Kikyo Higurashi in the real world, she put herself in Kikyo's shoes and thought about what Kikyo might do, and finally came to an incredible conclusion.

"Could it be that she wants to..."

……

On the screen, Kikyo spoke: "Ms. Ritsuka, can servants be summoned?"

Fujimaru Tachibana was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look back at Kikyo in surprise: "Uh, yes, Servants can be summoned, but Miss Kikyo, why are you talking about this now?"

"Do you want me to temporarily summon a Servant?"

Kikyo nodded: "I do have this idea."

Fujimaru Tachibana frowned. "Although Chaldea has repaired the Servant Summoning System to a certain extent, I heard from Doctor Roman that if we absolutely must summon a Servant, we can still use Mashu's shield to summon one."

"However, there is no guarantee of what kind of servants can be summoned. If you randomly summon a servant without a holy relic, there is a high possibility that the summoning will fail."

"I understand what you mean, Miss Kikyo. You want to summon a Servant that can fight against Naraku. However, the uncertainty is too high. Even if you succeed in summoning a Servant, there is no guarantee that the Servant can restrain Naraku."

"Furthermore, summoning servants requires spiritual veins or a huge source of magic power, which we don't have right now."

The girl was very helpless as she spoke, and now she has too many servants under contract. According to Dr. Roman, she has reached the critical point, and it is best not to contract new servants.

Although the girl herself felt that there should be no problem and that contracting a few more servants would be fine, since it was said by a professional, she just listened.

Therefore, now that Chaldea has actually repaired its servant summoning system to a usable level a few days ago, neither Chaldea nor Fujimaru Tachibana has any plans to summon new servants.

After all, among the servants that Fujimaru Tachibana has contracted, Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke, and Gaara are all extremely powerful servants, and Mashu and Sengo Muramasa, as members of Chaldea, must also maintain their contracts.

In this case, Fujimaru Tachibana has no need for a new Servant - especially when there is no guarantee that a powerful Servant can be summoned.

In response to Fujimaru Rikka's denial, Kikyo just shook her head and whispered, "Ms. Ritsuka, please call out Mr. Romani! I need to confirm something with him."

Fujimaru Tachibana was stunned, not understanding what Kikyo was trying to do. He had a bad feeling in his heart, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Moreover, there is really no way to solve the problem of Naraku at the moment, and it is clear that there are more and more monsters. Continuing to fight will only drag us into the quagmire of a war of attrition.

So, after a slight hesitation, Fujimaru Tachibana opened the communication, and Roman's projection image appeared.

After learning that it was Kikyo who was looking for him, Roman also turned his gaze to Kikyo: "Ms. Kikyo, what can I do for you?"

Kikyo simply said, "What exactly is the holy relic used to summon heroic spirits?"

Roman was stunned, not understanding why Kikyo suddenly asked this question, so he answered, "Anything used by a Heroic Spirit during his lifetime, or something related to that Heroic Spirit, or even another Heroic Spirit with whom that Heroic Spirit had a deep connection, can be used as a Holy Relic."

"For example, Mr. Naruto can be used as a catalyst to summon Mr. Sasuke."

At this point, he thought of a possibility and couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Kikyo, do you possess the holy relic of a powerful heroic spirit that can restrain Naraku?"

Kikyo nodded. "I understand the situation now. As you said, Mr. Romani, I do have a holy relic. Or rather, a summoning catalyst that is more effective than anything else."

Roman: "What is it?"

Kikyo: "Me."

Roman: “Huh?”

Fujimaru Tachibana: "???"

Kikyo shook her head and said bluntly, "Time is running out, Mr. Romani. If there are no problems in Chaldea, start the summoning now!"

"If successful, then a heroic spirit will descend who can truly destroy Naraku."

Now, Kikyo speaks a lot more than before, and acts decisively, showing an attitude of "I must do it."

To be honest, the difference from before is quite obvious, and it feels like I have received some huge stimulation.

However, if it only serves as a catalyst for the holy relic, there will be no danger to life. Even if it fails, it will only cause some damage to the Heroic Spirit Summoning System that Chaldea has just repaired.

With a powerful enemy ahead, we can't care about any losses.

Therefore, Roman and Fujimaru Rikka had no objections. Although Roman was a little worried about whether Fujimaru Rikka's body could hold on, Fujimaru Rikka said there was no problem, and the test data from Chaldea was indeed fine.

So, in this situation where a force was urgently needed to break the deadlock, Roman agreed, and Chaldea immediately cooperated.

At the same time, people were wondering who Kikyo was going to summon by using herself as a holy relic. Many people guessed that it should be the dog demon in the memory, after all, it had a great connection with Kikyo.

Some people also speculated that it should be other shrine maidens or priests. After all, although Kikyo is extremely talented, she is just one of many shrine maidens. There were so many priests and shrine maidens in ancient Yingzhou, and there were also many legendary figures. They would always be able to find some who could solve the problem of Naraku.

Only Kikyo Higurashi in the real world guessed a possibility, and she was very confident that what she guessed was the truth.

However, if it really succeeds, then the Kikyo in the image on the screen...

Chapter 773: Servant - Archer, Kikyo, responds to the call and descends here

The light screen image shows that the battle continues.

The camera turns to Naraku, whose half body and head were destroyed again. He noticed the strangeness of Kikyo and Fujimaru Tachibana, and seemed to want to do something.

Want to stop it?

Naraku asked this question while recovering his body.

Then he denied it.

Even looking forward to it.

Looking forward to seeing more from Kikyo.

Even if what was being prepared would destroy him, he didn't care.

After all...

This fake creature, destined to fail in its ultimate victory and to perish in the near future according to the will of the Four Souls Jade, is pursuing nothing more than satisfying its own twisted heart at this moment.

Yes, Naraku longed for Kikyo to respond, even if the response was to destroy him. What he longed for was just to prove the meaning of his existence.

In a sense, the Naraku portrayed by the Shikon Jewel is really authentic.

After all, the original Naraku, that cockroach-like monster full of conspiracy and intrigue, who had killed countless people, desired nothing more than "warmth" in his heart.

Of course, people in the real world don’t want to see the monster Naraku have a good ending - even if he has a handsome face that can make him a big star.

After all, Naraku is really disgusting.

Well, Guimi Yifang gave another thumbs up and asked where in the real world can one go to get Naraku back?

……

The camera moved again and returned to Fujimaru Tachibana, Kikyo and the others.

At this moment, now that the servant summoning has been confirmed, Fujimaru Tachibana immediately asked Gaara and Uzumaki Naruto's shadow clones to protect them, and then called Mashu back, and was about to start the servant summoning ceremony.

Chaldea's Heroic Spirit Summoning System is unique and is not as stable as the Heroic Spirit Summoning System of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City. Instead, it has a lot of uncertainty.

Since this Heroic Spirit Summoning System is not supported by the rules of the Holy Grail, there is a high probability that the Heroic Spirits will not respond when the ceremony is initiated and the Heroic Spirits are connected.

After all, this method is actually a bit like cheating, equivalent to taking a backdoor in the regular Heroic Spirit Summoning Ceremony, and it is unknown whether it can successfully establish a connection with the Throne of Heroes.

Moreover, even if a connection is successfully established, there is uncertainty about which servants can be linked. Without the Holy Grail as bait, it is impossible to be sure whether the Heroic Spirits will respond to the call.

After all, although most of the heroes are known as heroes, they are not selfless saints. Instead, most of them have strong personal emotions and selfish desires.

Most of these Heroic Spirits will not respond to summons unless there is a benefit.

Therefore, the holy relics became a very important thing.

Not only can relics increase the probability of establishing a connection with the Throne of Heroes, but they can also increase the probability of Heroic Spirits responding to summons after attracting their attention. After all, when Heroic Spirits are attracted to relics, they naturally want to know what attracted them, and many of them will think, "Even things related to me can be summoned, so I might as well respond."

After all, responding to the summons means nothing more than descending to the mortal world as a Servant's clone. To the Heroic Spirit, their Servant period is just like a lucid dream, and poses no threat to them at all, so it's fine even if they respond to the summons.

Chaldea had successfully summoned servants in the past with the help of holy relics in this way.

As for Mashu's shield being able to summon servants, it is because of the special nature of the shield.

The spirit base of the sub-servant Mashu is Galahad's, and the shield actually represents the round table of the Knights of the Round Table, which has the attribute of "assembly".

This attribute can be used as a medium to summon servants, eliminating the need for tedious preparations for the summoning ritual, and achieving the effect of directly replacing the summoning circle with a shield.

This function was not discovered at the beginning. After all, Mashu was given spiritual power by Galahad only after entering the Lostbelt. Before that, although she had Galahad's spiritual power in her body, she was unable to mobilize her abilities because she was not recognized.

Chaldea's exploration of this function was discovered during the First Collapse. After all, Chaldea had suffered such great damage, so naturally they tried their best to enhance their own capabilities under limited conditions. After discovering that Mashu's shield had the attribute of "assembly", they made some improvements to the Heroic Spirit Summoning System, so that the system could be activated in conjunction with Mashu's shield.

The reason why this function was not used a few days ago was because the Heroic Spirit Summoning System in Chaldea had not been repaired yet.

After completion, their side already had super servants like Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, and they were not short of ordinary combat power for the time being. However, the probability of summoning top-level servants was as low as winning the grand prize in the lottery, so it had never been used.

Now, all the conditions are met, even the high-quality spiritual veins needed for summoning are actually available - the fragments of the Four Souls Jade can perfectly replace the spiritual veins needed for summoning.

Moreover, the source of the Four Souls Jade fragment can be directly used from the one in Kikyo's body.

Although the fragment of the Four Souls Jade has been damaged by Naraku, if Kikyo is used as a holy relic, the power of the Four Souls Jade fragment can be directly extracted from her body when she is summoned, without having to worry about whether the Four Souls Jade agrees or not.

This was discovered by Chaldea.

So, even though Chaldea suffered a major internal explosion, there are still some talented people left, or rather, they are all talents in various fields. In terms of logistical support, at least so far they are qualified.

Now, all preparations are ready.

When the Heroic Spirit Summoning Ritual was activated, the shield Mashu placed on the ground connected to the system and actually emitted a pure white light.

At the same time, Fujimaru Tachibana also raised his right hand and established the connection in the name of the Command Seal.

The girl was a little nervous at this moment, after all, it was her first time, but her will was extremely firm, and her heart was filled with the desire to call out the heroic spirit that Kikyo wanted to summon.

People in the real world also witnessed the Chaldean version of the Heroic Spirit Summoning Ceremony.

There was no long spell that needed to be chanted like in the Fuyuki Holy Grail War. After the connection was established, the summoning would start automatically.

There is less sense of ceremony and more sense of technology.

Especially when the camera keeps switching back and forth between Chaldea and Fujimaru Tachibana and the others, showing various high-tech instruments.

As a holy relic, Kikyo felt the changes in the fragments of the Four Souls Jade in her body, and also felt the pull and connection of the summoning ritual on herself. An inexplicable emotion was revealed in the eyes of the expressionless shrine maiden.

seem……

The feeling of someone answering the call?

Finally, three halos bloomed, and within the halos, pure white light shone, and continued to rotate and rise. Finally, after blooming and expanding, it completely shrank into a point, and the ritual of successful summoning erupted.

As the white light dissipated, white smoke blew.

A shrine maiden wearing a shrine maiden's uniform, carrying a quiver, holding a longbow, and with waist-length black hair, appeared in front of everyone. The majestic magic power and holy aura emanating from her body proved that this shrine maiden was a Servant.

When they saw this newly appeared shrine maiden, Fujimaru Tachibana, Mashu and even Naraku who was watching the situation from a distance all widened their eyes in disbelief. Naraku was so shocked that he was hit and his body was torn apart on the spot by the impact of the super-large Rasengan.

Only Kikyo had a calm expression, but there was a hint of trance in her, as if she was revealing a deep sense of melancholy.

Then, the newly appeared shrine maiden swept her calm gaze over everyone one by one, and finally stopped at Kikyo. She opened her lips slightly and responded.

"The Servant, Archer, Kikyo, is just an obscure shrine maiden in history."
