"I got rid of him. He didn't catch up. Phew!"
In a dark alley, Aozaki Orange and the two ritualists stopped running. After confirming that there was no one behind them, they heaved a sigh of relief. The two ritualists leaned against the wall, looking like they were about to collapse at any moment.
Although the battle with Berserker only lasted for a very short time, not even half a minute, the pressure she felt during the battle was unprecedented. It was like facing a tsunami or a hurricane, like dancing on the tip of a knife. She had to be 100% focused at all times, and a moment of carelessness would cost her her life.
"That guy … is a real monster!" The two ritualists closed their eyes and sighed. If it was possible, she would never want to fight such a monster a second time.
"Even your Direct Death can't kill him?" Aozaki Orange asked.
The two ritualists shook their heads. "I can see his Death Line. If I can hit his Death Line … But the difference in combat power between us is too great. If I want to get past his Death Line, I'll probably only have one chance in a hundred battles."
In other words, if the two of them fought a hundred times, the two ritualists might have a chance to kill Berserker once. In the remaining 99 battles, they would have to learn how to write the word 'death'.
Aozaki Orange frowned. They had not even found Aozaki's shadow yet, and they had already encountered such a terrifying enemy. They had lost twice in one night. The plan to capture Yuzu Kumodera would probably have to be postponed.
"By the way, what happened just now? What did you do to me? "The two ritualists suddenly asked.
Orange answered, "Rune."
"Hmm?"
Orange stretched out his finger and drew a rune in the air. It was crooked and did not look like Japanese or English. Either way, the two ritualists could not recognize it.
Orange quickly erased the runes and explained, "I've always been interested in mending incomplete things. I once had a conflict with my grandfather because of this. After I entered the Magic Association's Clock Tower, I studied the runes of the Runes that had almost been lost, and I magically regenerated the 24 Runes of Runes."
"What I used on you before was the Rune. Its direct effect is to increase your physical activity, strengthen your physique, and allow you to surpass human limits in a short period of time."
"So that's how it is. No wonder I was able to avoid that monster's attack." Realization dawned on the two Rites, and they blinked. If Cheng kept using Rune on her, she might have a greater chance of defeating that monster.
Orange seemed to know what she was thinking and said, "The Rune that I recreated is not the original Rune, after all. There are certain deficiencies in the technique, and the improvement is limited. At least, it is absolutely impossible to strengthen your body to the level of a servant … Or rather, it is impossible for modern magicians to do it, unless they are the magicians of the divine generation."
Then he looked at the two ritual legs. "Also, there are certain side effects. You should be able to feel it now."
The two of them touched their legs. Indeed, they were more sore than usual, as if they had run for more than ten thousand meters continuously. Their muscles were in a state of exhaustion.
"I should be able to recover, right?"
"Of course."
The two ceremonies were relieved.
Orange continued, "The Rune is not a magic spell that can be used externally, because I have sold the patent to the Time Tower at a high price."
"You sold it?" The two ceremonies were stunned. She also knew that there was such a transfer between magicians. "In other words, you no longer have the right to teach it to outsiders, including the right to use it? Then why did you use it on me just now? "
Orange thought for a moment and shook her head. "Who cares!"
Although she used to study at the Time Tower, she no longer had a good impression of it. Because the Time Tower imposed a restriction on her that no magician could stand and forgive — a seal.
So she left the Time Tower in a rage, and now she was in a hostile relationship with the Time Tower.
Of course, out of basic moral integrity, she would not transfer the Rune to outsiders, but she was too lazy to care about other things.
"Then you are really a hateful guy." The two ceremonies did not know the inside story, so they expressed their own opinions.
Orange was also too lazy to explain. For her, it was not something worth talking about.
Holding her head and sitting on the ground, the two ceremonies looked up and said, "So what do you plan to do next? If you want to continue fighting that monster, it is absolutely impossible for me to do it now."
"Don't you hate me?"
"Well, I hate you, but at least we can be together," the two ceremonies said calmly. Her feelings for people were actually very animalistic, and had nothing to do with likes and dislikes. First of all, it was divided into people she could be with and people she did not want to be with. If it was the former, even if she hated them, she would accompany them.
"So, I will continue to be used by you."
"Uh —"
Orange was stunned. Did this guy know that she was using him from the beginning?
So he was not an idiot.
"Since you know that I am using you, why are you still willing to work with me?"
"Nothing much." "At least in this strange place, you're the only one I know. Anyway, I'm working for you. And … if I don't go back, that guy will probably be troubled." Liu Yi tilted his head and said indifferently, "At least in this strange place, I only know you.
As she spoke, she could not help but think of Hei Tong Gan Ya. She had transmigrated for about four years. If he knew that she was no longer here, Hei Tong would definitely go crazy looking for her.
But then again, if she returned to Kanbuko City now, she did not know if she would see her in this timeline … Would it cause a time paradox?
The two ceremonies thought with slight interest.
Listening to her words and observing her actions, Orange gradually understood what kind of person the girl in front of her was. She nodded and said, "Well, since we have the same goal, there is no need to talk about using you. But for now, whether it is that monster or the original plan, we have to give up on it. We must do something else."
"What is it?"
"The Holy Grail War."
"… A game of snatching the cup?" The two ceremonies blinked. "I think that girl mentioned it before."
"Probably … something like that." Aozaki Orange did not want to explain too much. She only said, "In short, the Holy Grail War is an activity launched by the magicians in order to reach the origin. They use opportunistic methods to summon heroes from the past to the present world as servants. Just like the monster we encountered before, it might be a great hero from some mythical story."
"No wonder it is so strong. So, we have to summon that monster as well? "
Orange pressed her hand to her mouth, her eyes flashing. "As far as I know, the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City is jointly organized by the Enban, Jiantō, and Einz Bayren families. There are a total of seven magicians. I don't know what stage they are at, but they do not reject foreign magicians. So, I am also qualified to participate in the Holy Grail War … Although I am not interested in the Holy Grail, I can give it a try. "
"The Mikoto family? Then, could the girl we met before be from one of them?" The two ceremonies asked.
These words seemed to awaken Aozaki Orange, and her eyes flashed. "Ilyas Phil … Einz Bayren. I see. No wonder they have such extreme magic circuits. "
"You know them?"
Orange said matter-of-factly. "It's hard not to know them. The Einz Bayren family is also inherited from magicians. Fuyuki's Holy Grail War was presented through an incomplete third method … Forget it, let's talk about this later. Let's first think of a way to summon servants. I hope we can make it in time."
After a while, the two arrived at a relatively secluded place. Orange used phosphorous powder to make a summoning circle. From the perspective of the two ceremonies, this summoning circle was not complicated at all.
"Is it okay to do something so simple?" The two ceremonies sat on a rock and asked. Aozaki Orange was the only one who wanted to summon a Servant. She had no interest in it.
"The summoning circle is just a ritual. In order to connect with the leylines and resonate with the Holy Grail, it doesn't need to be complicated. Even a beginner magician … No, even if they are not a magician, as long as they meet the requirements, they can summon servants. As for what kind of servants they summon, it depends on the holy relic."
"What if there is no holy relic?"
"According to the summoner's characteristics, they can summon servants that are similar to them from human history. They can compare their neutral personality or experience."
"That's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"That's right. So, in order to avoid this kind of randomness, the holy relic is indispensable. Of course, even if there is a holy relic, it only narrows the scope of the target."
As he spoke, Aozaki Orange took out a fragment the size of a plate out of nowhere. It looked very old.
"This is your holy relic?" The two ceremonies asked.
"It's something I used to collect," Orange replied. "I like to collect magic-related items. This is more expensive. According to the seller, it seems to be a fragment of a chariot from the Mythological Era, but I don't know if it's real or not."
"I thought you didn't have much money? Why are you spending so much money to buy something that is almost useless?" She jumped down from the rock. Of course, she didn't think that Cheng had prepared this holy relic in advance in anticipation of today's incident. If it weren't for this accident, this thing would probably never be used. It would just be a waste of money.
Orange's tone was indifferent. "It's nothing. I used my sister's name to collect it."
The two ceremonies smacked their lips. "Fortunately, I don't have a sister like you."
"It's starting." Orange placed the holy relic into the summoning circle and channeled it through the magic circuit. "… Cross the Wheel of Suppression, appear, guardian of Libra!"
Whoosh!
In an instant, there was a flash of light, and a majestic and tall figure appeared in the summoning circle. Vaguely, a heroic and arrogant smile could be seen, and … a head of short green hair like a porcupine.
"Yo, are you my Master? You've really drawn a good Follower."
A man's hearty voice came from the front.
