Shirou Emiya is determined to kill all the cursed spirits and evil spirits

Fortunately, the ending is pretty good.

After a few minutes, Yotsuya Miko successfully calmed down. The only thing that made Emiya a little distressed was that the other person's hand had grabbed his palm at some point and refused to separate until now.

"By the way, how did you destroy this ritual in there just now, Jianzi?"

In response to Emiya's question, Yotsuya Miko for some reason showed the calm expression she had when facing ghosts, and pointed to an object wrapped in white cloth on the ground.

"This is......"

Emiya squatted down slightly and lifted the white cloth above, revealing a pale skull in front of him.

"..."

Relying on a certain memory, Emiya quickly determined that this was not a replica, but a real human skull.

This skull was placed in the temple as the core of the ceremony, which means that the "mountain god" outside is probably the distorted state of the skull's owner after his death.

"Sure enough, they're using living people for sacrifice..."

"Human sacrifice...?"

Hearing these words, even Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but speak out.

"That's right. Traditional sacrifices generally use various types of livestock, but some places believe that humans are more intelligent than ordinary livestock, and therefore the gods will be more satisfied."

"Under these circumstances, they developed the custom of sacrificing living people, and the sacrifices...were usually children or young girls who were considered relatively pure."

Unlike modern society, beauty in ancient times was not a blessing for an ordinary family. Instead, it was highly likely to bring bad luck.

"If nothing unexpected happens, the so-called mountain god is most likely the incarnation of this girl after her death. Even the two fox divine messengers are the incarnations of living people after their death."

We already have to rely on human sacrifices to pray to the gods. Can we still expect those people back then to have the ability to create living things out of thin air?

Furthermore, the fox envoy actually turned around and attacked his own companions in the end... If it really was a new life born purely from emotions like the Curse Spirit, how could it do something so obviously contrary to common sense?

"how come......"

Yotsuya Miko couldn't accept that the 'mountain god', whom she had always believed to be a monster, was just one of the victims.

And the people who actually committed all these crimes have long been lost in some corner of history.

The world is so unfair.

"Let's go, Jianzi, it's time to go back."

"I'll notify the Jujutsu High School to conduct the cleanup and investigation. Perhaps... we can find some records and their original identities."

———— ————

A few hours later in the evening, two uninvited guests suddenly came to the foot of the mountain.

An elderly woman wearing a divine robe who looked mysterious and powerful, and a young man who looked a little out of place.

"Are you ready? This time we must get rid of that big guy in one go, Rom."

Why did they come in the evening? That was because after the professional investigation of the witch, she found that it was easier to enter the shrine's barrier in the evening.

For this exorcism operation, they had made all necessary preparations, even considering the possibility of dying if they failed.

As the former 'Goddess of the Shitamachi', how could she sit idly by and watch the plight of an ordinary girl?

There is no need to notify the other party. They will get rid of the "Mountain God" on their own and give her a normal life!

With such a heavy determination, the witch dragged the young man step by step onto the road leading deep into the mountains and forests, and after struggling to clear away the cursed spirits that appeared along the way, they arrived at the gate of the shrine.

Then--

Determined to die, they saw the torii gate split in half and the entire shrine grounds almost overturned.

The ravine that extended from a hundred meters away to the feet of the two people looked like scratches left by some huge monster.

“What…what’s going on?”

"Isn't it obvious? We've clearly been beaten to the punch, Granny Sanzhi."

ps: Today's is relatively small, let me think about how to cook coral

I feel like the prodigy Rom can still be used. He can directly reform the world of spells and use technology to exorcise ghosts!

Volume 1: Chapter 82: Forging, Kikuchimonji Norimune

Clang—clang—clang—!

In a room somewhere in the Jujutsu High School, there was a sound of steel clashing, like a hammer forging an embryo.

Who would have thought that the Jujutsu High School actually had a forge in the conventional sense? Its original purpose was to allow students to forge their own weapons, but unfortunately, no one had used it since its establishment.

It wasn't until Emiya arrived that the forge finally heard the sound it hadn't heard in a long time.

Considering the raw materials and the fact that the world of curse arts lacked the environment for the creation of Noble Phantasms, when he first began practicing forging, Emiya didn't think of forging a Noble Phantasm directly, but simply forged a normal weapon that was tough enough.

Alternatively, work on developing the embryos of these weapons into cursed tools.

[Cursed Tools], [Cursed Skeletons], and [Cursed Objects] are all inorganic substances tainted by the "curse", and are divided only because of different concepts and usage methods.

Like [Cursed Tools]. As the name suggests, they are weapons that are cursed.

Weapons infused with cursed energy and techniques used by sorcerers for years, weapons once used to kill powerful sorcerers or cursed spirits, weapons used in serial murders, and weapons with horrifying forging processes...all of these weapons can be collectively referred to as [Cursed Tools].

Among them, the simplest way to create a [Spell Tool] is to have the sorcerer infuse the weapon with spell power and techniques over the years.

Over a period of several years, ordinary weapons will gradually become tainted with the 'curse' and develop some special effects, becoming [cursed tools].

According to their power and effectiveness, [Spell Tools] are divided into 4 to 1 levels, just like Sorcerers.

The higher the level of the spell, the more powerful the spell. Some spells can be used even by non-magicians, even allowing for the unseen killing of people without legal consequences. Therefore, spells are often traded for large sums in society.

In short, it is impossible to create a special [Cursed Tool] through the normal forging process. At least there must be more than one human life related to it.

Therefore, even if there is a similar perfect forging technology in the magic world, it has long been banned by the General Headquarters.

At least that's what it looks like on the surface.

So when Gojo Satoru first called her here, Zenin Maki's words were full of distrust towards Emiya.

As her name suggests, she is a descendant of the Zenin family, one of the three great families in the world of curses. However, due to her innate lack of cursed energy, she is unable to detect even cursed spirits, and is therefore rejected by her family.

So she went to Tokyo to study alone despite her family's opposition. Her current level is a fourth-level sorcerer.

But the reason why she is only at level four is because the Zenin family put pressure on her from behind, which made Zenin Maki's path to promotion extremely difficult.

In terms of real combat power, she is even more powerful than Megumi Fushiguro, who is already a second-level sorcerer, and can easily exorcise second-level cursed spirits.

Because she had no cursed energy and no spells, she needed a pair of glasses-like cursed tools to help her see cursed spirits. She also used a variety of cursed tools to fight against cursed spirits.

At the Jujutsu High School, she was undoubtedly the expert on cursed tools, and even other students asked her to assist them when they were practicing the use of cursed tools.

It was for this reason that Gojo Satoru introduced the other party here to assist Emiya in his attempt to forge cursed tools.

When Zenin Maki arrived at the forge not long ago, Emiya's first forging had already begun. So even though she felt a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart, she just stood quietly by and watched.

In her opinion, Emiya's movements during forging were quite standard, but other aspects, such as his standing posture, seemed completely amateurish.

This scene made her feel like a guy who had only read various basic books, had some knowledge but never had much practical experience, and was only good at talking on paper.

You know, being a blacksmith is not a profession that can be mastered with just knowledge. It takes a long time and countless trials and errors to accumulate experience.

How much force should be used in each forging, when should it be started, and when is the best time to stop - these cannot be measured by the knowledge in books, and no one can teach you.

Because the condition and function of each piece of material are different, the content of impurities is also uncertain...Industrial forging methods can indeed mass-produce qualified weapons, but it is almost impossible to go any further.

Only truly experienced craftsmen can adjust the plan according to the situation on site while forging the materials.

Although Zenin Maki didn't have that kind of ability, she was not so unable to tell whether the other party was a layman or not.

Apprentices like this have only been exposed to forging for no more than a year, which is completely incomparable to craftsmen who have been learning and practicing since childhood.

Also, with such a simple forging method... can it really be used to forge a cursed tool?

Zenin Maki was deeply skeptical about this.

But even so, she still did not rashly interrupt the other person's behavior.

Finally, half an hour later, when the forging work was nearing completion, she saw something completely different.

I saw blue lines inexplicably appearing on Emiya's arms. They intersected and reflected with the light from the fire, causing Emiya's movements and expressions to change in an instant.

If he looked like a layman before, now he looks like an old craftsman who has specialized in forging for decades.

Every movement is done without delay and with incredible precision.

It was not until this time that Zenin Maki discovered another point - no matter what he looked like just now or now, there was one thing about Emiya that had never changed.

That is the focus on swords and forging.

In fact, she made quite a lot of noise when she came in, and it was impossible for people not to notice that there was another person next to her, but the other party did not say anything about it for a whole hour.

Clang—clang—clang—!

After dozens of minutes of forging, the sword finally took shape in Emiya's hands. He reheated it with precise techniques and placed it in a water tank for the final quenching.

There is no need for any extra forging steps, because when the blade is taken out of the water tank, its blade is already covered with extremely perfect lines that seem to be natural.

Even the polishing process is unnecessary because it was already sharpened during forging... Is this really possible?

For Zenin Maki, an expert in cursed tools, nothing is more eye-catching than a perfect weapon.

"What's this knife called?"

She couldn't help but ask.

"Kikuichimonji Norimune... Of course, it's just a replica."

Emiya gently wiped the sweat from his forehead and subconsciously responded to Zenin Maki's question.

Then the next second, he turned his head as if to realize it belatedly and looked at the girl who had been standing behind him without him noticing when.

"By the way, who are you?"

"......ha?!"

Volume 1: Chapter 83: The Nameless Three-Section Burst and...An Active Volcano???

Second grade... no, it should be said that all the students in Jujutsu High School know that Zenin Maki has a very straightforward personality, which can evolve into a certain degree of harshness and explosiveness.

As the only expert in cursed tools at the technical high school, she was very strict when training her classmates. It was true that everyone admired her, but it was also true that she would get beaten up during training.

It was clear from Gojo's words that Emiya wanted to invite her to help with the forging plan of the cursed tool, but after she came, she was left waiting there for a long time, and was actually ignored.

No one can tolerate this kind of thing, right?

Judging from his age, Zenin Maki naturally treated Emiya as a new student and prepared to teach him how to use cursed tools.

"This kind of playful forging technique won't produce any practical magical tools!"

Zenin Maki drew the long sword from his waist without hesitation. Of course, the target was not Emiya himself, but the sword he had just forged in his hand, which he claimed was a replica of Kikuichimon Norimune.

She still stubbornly believed that with Emiya's initially rusty forging skills, it would be impossible to make a very good sword blade.

Then, by simply chopping off this flashy blade, he could directly and clearly tell the other party that his forging skills still needed to be improved.

However, just when the long sword in her hand was about to touch the blade——

boom--!

Emiya picked up the long sword, which had not yet been turned to the hilt, at an even faster speed, and then quickly deflected the long sword from Zenin Maki's hand.

"what?!"

Zenin Maki widened her eyes when she saw this scene.

She is not the kind of novice who uses weapons for the first time and would not be able to hold the sword firmly and have her weapon pried away by others.

She saw Emiya's movements clearly, but for a moment she found it difficult to understand what kind of technique it was.

"Huh? Sorry, I subconsciously used my sword skills."

The magic circuits that had just appeared on his body were Emiya's special way of projecting the Noble Phantasm of the sympathetic Heroic Spirit Okita Souji - Kikuichimonji Norimune.

The forging process is poorly imitated in reality with one's own hands, and the final product cannot be compared with a pure projection, let alone the real original.

Although the process has changed a little, the skills have been copied exactly.
