Shape Moon, The Road to the Magician

"It’s really tragic……"

The bloody scenes of the two rituals have been seen before, both in the film and in reality.

But compared to the visual impact that today's scene brought to her, the previous ones were still too conservative.

The murderer I once knew was nothing compared to this mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

It's not that his psychological quality is poor, but that as a normal person, he will feel physical discomfort when faced with such a scene of limbs flying around and the smell of blood hitting his nostrils.

After Arquette entered here, she immediately covered her mouth and nose, and her delicate face gradually became ugly. However, she was not shocked by the bloody scene, but was stimulated by the soaring blood that stimulated her most primitive instincts..

There were flying limbs everywhere, as well as a head that had been mostly bitten into pieces. Blood, brains, and incontinence before death were mixed together. The smell was indescribably weird.

The blood flowing all over the ground has formed a pool of blood. Broken bodies and pieces of clothes are floating on the blood pool. Every time you move, the soft things you crush may belong to someone who died. Offal.

Bloody, blasphemous...

This apartment building, which was originally home to hundreds of people, has turned into a hell of flesh and blood. If you listen carefully, the sound of some monsters eating flesh can still be heard from time to time in the darkness.

"rest in peace……"

Standing in the center of the mutilated body and looking around at the tragic scene, Xia Yuan couldn't help but clenched his fists. His blue eyes stared closely at the countless twisted souls in front of him, crying to him.

There were so many people who died that he couldn't hear everyone's cries, so he could only take out the Bible and holy water he took from Kotomine Kirei and perform the simplest mass for these tragic victims.

"Don't worry...I will make the murderer pay the price"

"Simply unforgivable!"

At this moment, Xia Yuan's performance is already the calmest among these people. As the manager of Misaki City's spiritual veins, Qingzi is the most angry person at this moment.

Someone is in his hometown, under her nose After doing such a cruel thing, her mood was naturally ignited like explosives.

No matter who the enemy was, even if it was the 27th Dead Apostle, she would never let him go!.

Bang bang bang——!

There was a burst of gunfire from the floor above, accompanied by several screams of death.

On the other side, Emiya Kiritsugu was also angered by this hellish scene. The arrival of the disciples reminded him of the painful memories of his childhood

, his father, his lover, his teacher, and his adoptive mother.

All his tragedies stemmed from these inhuman monsters.

How many people do you monsters have to drag into hell to be satisfied? Anger

, sadness, and all kinds of emotions immediately occupied his mind. At this moment, he couldn't care less about hiding. The most familiar conventional firearms are frantically unleashing firepower to suppress these man-eating beasts.

However, no matter how much he vents, the effect is still minimal. There are too many beasts, vipers, black dogs, and crows, they are all flashing. Scarlet eyes are constantly crawling out of the shadows to harvest human lives?

They can't kill them all, they can't stop them no matter how much the bullets pour.

They are like shadows, everywhere, and they are also unstoppable. No matter how hard we try, we can only let them devour the living creatures.

"They're up there!"

Hearing the gunshots, Xia Yuan raised his finger, and after speaking, he rushed up the stairs quickly.

"You two should be more careful too."

Aozaki Aoko said as she speeded up her pace and followed her.

……

……

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was on the upper floor of the apartment, was still working hard to clear away these monsters.

Because the battle lasted too long, several of the magazines he carried had been emptied. Now he could only rely on the remaining black keys and mithril products to deal with the culprit who caused this mountain of corpses and blood.

But the strength of both sides is obviously not of the same level.

"You are such a struggling piece of meat, you actually killed so many of my familiars."

Da da da da - with the sound of low footsteps, the dark figure walked out of the shadows. The middle-aged man, who seemed to be wrapped in darkness, stared coldly at Emiya Kiritsugu who was standing in front of him.

His eyes were like poisonous snakes. The coldness, the towering body was as strong as steel, the indifferent tone and the terrifying aura made Emiya Kiritsugu feel a little breathless even though they were still some distance away.

The last time he felt this kind of oppression, he still participated. When facing those Servants in the Holy Grail War, the man in front of him was no less terrifying than theirs. He was worthy of being the twenty-seventh ancestor of the Dead Apostles.

This kind of power was not something ordinary magicians could rely on. Weapons can be used to deal with it.

There are not many bullets left in the body. I have a few origin bullets, but I don't know if they can have an effect on this monster. This is still the seventh floor, and there are still many beast familiars in the darkness. He was staring at him, and the distress signal had just been sent out. It was really a big crisis.

Looking at Nero Kaos who was constantly approaching him, Emiya Kiritsugu tightly held the black key in his hand and swallowed involuntarily. He spat.

He might really have to risk his life because of his reckless actions this time.

It could be seen that he had forced Emiya Kiritsugu into a desperate situation, and Nero Kaos was not in a hurry to kill him. Before killing the prey, it was better to torture him.

So he raised his arm.

Bang!

The ceiling suddenly shattered, and several thick black snakes fell down, cutting off Emiya Kiritsugu's escape route. From time to time, the sound of wild beasts gnawing flesh can be heard from the walls, and the sharp claws are ready to tear apart the wall skin.

"Something bad happened……"

Emiya Kiritsugu broke into a cold sweat. He was intercepting countless black snakes behind him, and there were countless wild beasts in the surrounding walls. Looking at Nero Kaos blocking him in front of him, he knew that this time he There's no way to escape

——All escape routes are cut off!!

"You killed so many of my familiars by yourself. I have to say you did a great job, magician, but the game is over now."Nero Kaos said coldly

"What about that woman? Where did you hide her?"

That woman?

Emiya Kiritsugu's brain was running rapidly. After a moment of thinking, he quickly came to a roughly correct conclusion.

Which woman?

The monster in front of him is looking for someone, and that person may be hiding in this apartment building. In this case, his rash action has been regarded as an accomplice.

In this case, is it possible to rely on this information to deal with him for a while and drag him to the boss?

In the crisis of life and death, Emiya Kiritsugu thought quickly. , his expression still remained the most basic, trying not to reveal any flaws.

"snort."

But before he started to bluff, Nero Kaos simply frowned, then waved his palm, and without any hesitation, directly ordered the beast to pounce on him.

"It seems that you are just an outsider. In this case, there is no need to continue the conversation, just go to hell."

The negotiation had already broken down before it even started.

How did he find out?

Emiya Kiritsugu quickly raised the black key and cut the flying black snake in two. However, at the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his waist. It was heard that the sharp fangs of the beast had bitten his body severely. Severe pain and numbness came from the wound, and bright red blood flowed down his body.

"You're confused as to how I discovered your lie, right?"

Like a demonic voice, Nero Kaos slowly walked over.

He looked at Emiya Kiritsugu's disbelieving eyes and said:"The words and expressions have been professionally trained to disguise, but the smell is wrong, yours Everything about him smells like lies."

As he spoke, his palms turned into black snakes, which were spitting out snakes and happily waiting to taste Emiya Kiritsugu's delicious life.

Emiya Kiritsugu tried to resist, but the black dog biting him did not let go, and he lost blood. Too much and he couldn't muster the strength and could only wait quietly for death to come.

"It's time to send you on your way, magician!!"

The black afterimage in his hand flashed past, like a sharp blade, directly taking Emiya Kiritsugu's life.

However,……

"What?!"

Brush - the sharp mercury blade flashed past, and Nero Kaos only saw the silver afterimage. In an instant, the palm that turned into a black snake had been cut off smoothly.

Before he could After seeing the figure of the person coming, Xia Yuan, who appeared on the other side of the corridor, raised his finger, and a dazzling white light condensed on his fingertips.————!!

But in an instant, with the snap of his fingers, a dazzling white light exploded, and the terrifying heat of magic power flowed through Nero Kaos's body mercilessly. Half of his body was burned, and the powerful power vaporized all the beast familiars around him.

Emiya Kiritsugu also took this opportunity to break free from the constraints of Nero Kaos.

Xia Yuan moved so fast that the few people coming behind him did not react.

With such a violent fighting style and merciless crushing, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he is really angry this time.

"You did a good job Kiritsugu, no, it should be said that you have finally become a partner of justice."

Looking back at the seriously injured Emiya Kiritsugu, Xia Yuan nodded slightly and expressed recognition of his efforts.

Then he glanced at Aoko who was coming and said,"Miss Aoko, please take Wei with you. Miya Kiritsugu left here and helped him treat his injuries. If the poison of the black snake is not removed in time, big problems will occur."

"Afterwards, notify the Church and Orange and ask them to prepare for the aftermath. Search for survivors along the floors. Emiya Kiritsugu's delay for so long must not be in vain. I believe there are definitely survivors in this apartment. There will be."

"But……"

Qingzi wanted to say something more, but after seeing Xia Yuan's eyes shining with ice blue light, he couldn't help but hold back the words.

"I'm begging you, please...be careful."

Finally, she nodded, and without hesitation after giving the instructions, she picked up the seriously injured Emiya Kiritsugu and rushed out.

"Thank u……"

"Are you still pretending to be dead over there?"

Seeing Aoko leaving with Emiya Kiritsugu, Xia Yuan quickly stepped into the pierced ruins and raised his palm without mercy.

The black flames mixed with the ignited magic power condensed into a sword, showing no mercy. slashed towards the ground

"snort——！！"

Realizing that his plan to fake his own death and sneak attack had been discovered, Nero Kaos, who was pressed under the rubble, did not hide himself. His body was like a poisonous snake, nimbly shuttled through the gaps, and quickly distanced himself from Xia Yuan.

"Are you finally willing to show up? Princess."

Seeing Arquette appearing behind Xia Yuan, Nero Kaos said coldly:"I really didn't expect that you found so many helpers. As the true ancestor, the princess cooperated with the magician. You really have fallen, Arquette."

"You have no right to judge whether I am corrupted or not, you stinking beast."

Seeing this old enemy, Erquette fought back without any fear, his eyes flashed scarlet, and he entered a fighting state.

"Huh, in that case, uh-huh……"

Before Nero Kaos could finish his harsh words, Xia Yuan had already come to him again and locked his neck with his hands. His actions were so fast that Nero Kaos, who had beast intuition, It was difficult for Si to react immediately.

How is this speed possible?

【——Whole body range·Advanced strengthening magic��

Immediately afterwards, the magic circuits on the body surface all appeared, and the terrifying power that followed lifted him up directly. Those blue eyes were breathtaking.

In Xia Yuan's eyes, this guy's characteristics are dark, a collection of death, a twisted soul monster kneaded together by countless twisted beasts. Just looking at it makes him feel disgusted. Those dead people he killed and ate The grievances left behind by his body lingered around him.

It is a sin to let this guy linger in this world for one more second.

"Style, are you ready? Just send this guy on his way."

Xia Yuan ordered to prepare for battle immediately.

His tone was cold and he looked condescendingly at the monster in front of him.

"How many people have you killed so far? Ten thousand or tens of thousands? even more?"

Do you remember how many slices of bread you have eaten?"

"Forehead……"

This was the answer that came to his mind, but because Nero Kaos was still choked by Xia Yuan, he could not answer this question.

Xia Yuan didn't care about the answer Nero failed to give. He just wanted to destroy this monster that blasphemed life.

"no problem."

There was no hesitation in the two ceremonies. Following Xia Yuan's order, the evil eyes of death had already appeared in his eyes. His sharp eyes were locked on the death line on Nero's body. He held the knife made of mithril tightly in his hand. Then passed through the night.

Death!

This emotion that had been lost for many years once again enveloped Nero's heart, and the fear of death made it difficult for him to remain calm.

Fatal cutting, he followed his instinct mercilessly and chose to cut off his tail to survive.

Nero

Kaos's stiff body turned into a ball and expanded violently. The dark shadow spread under his feet, and the blade was in Shiki's hand. The moment he fell, his body exploded, and the black flesh and blood flew away like a cloud of blood. Finally, it fell back to form a puddle of flesh and blood at his feet.

Then came the low roars of wild beasts. Countless dark beasts slowly crawled out of the quagmire of flesh and blood. They rushed out and bit into the prey in front of them.

Every drop of blood and flesh under their feet was a complete black beast. They are everywhere, they sweep in, they attack the three people trapped in the quagmire of flesh and blood

"It's a magic trick that changes the venue. You have so many little tricks, but... do you think this will work?"

The moment the shadow fell, Xia Yuan was already protecting Shi Shi and Erquet.

The flaming sword condensed in his hand changed with his movements.

To put it simply, it disappeared.

When he could catch his light again, the black flames were already thrusting straight into the mire of flesh and blood. The flaming sword left a burning smell in the flesh, and the entire area and the emerging beasts were instantly destroyed. It was ignited and burned directly into a sea of fire.

"The next thing you need to know is Nero Chaos."
