A sonorous and powerful chant echoed in the dark and damp basement.
Ren stood solemnly in the center, and the green-gold "Holy Flame Sword" on the ground trembled slightly. As he chanted, countless radiances erupted, and bright and sacred golden symbols were outlined in the void.
arts!
However, in the eyes of the two representatives of the Holy Church, these were genuine "Holy Seals of the Lord", so they were a little excited.
'This sword is a sacred object, and it can perform such a grand purification ceremony on its own. Is Archer a certain saint of the church in history?'
The red-nosed agent and his companion looked at each other and began to guess the identity of the other person.
It’s no wonder they thought wildly. What Ren was using at the moment was a very formal baptismal chant—that is, the magic of the church (i.e., “miracle” or “mystery”).
The Holy Church often declares to its believers that magic is a heretical act and should not be learned!
However, only mystery can counter mystery.
If the Holy Church does not master the power of mysterious magic, let alone fight against the Magic Association, it is afraid that it will be beaten to shit by the group of dead disciples and vampires.
As a result, the church's priests hastily declared that if the form changes into church-style magic - magic that uses "doctrine" as the basis of magic, then it will be allowed to be learned.
Some people would say, isn’t this still magic? At best, it’s just a specialized version.
Yes, to put it bluntly, "baptismal chant" is actually a powerful form of spiritual magic.
People in the church are pretentious and like to play with some vain concepts or deceive themselves and others, but they are very honest physically and still need to learn the magic that they should learn...
However, the Holy Church, which follows the path of "magicism with Christian characteristics", does have a somewhat special baptismal chant.
It basically does not have the physical destructive power of using magic to break rocks and steel like other magics, but it will exert great power against the guilty souls of spirits.
For example, in the original HF line, Father Mapo chanted the same holy words of blessing as Ren now, and saved the old bug.
It's just that Matou Zangyan's cunning rabbit has three caves, and the main body has not yet completed the full work.
In the Apocryphal Holy Grail War next door, Amakusa Shiro Tokisada also used the baptismal chant to steal the head of "Little Sun" Karna and save the vampire-turned Archduke "Vlad III".
Ren is now using this method to save these orphans.
It is said that the spirit body that has received the "baptism chant" will immediately sublimate due to the Lord's teachings and repent, return to the "seat" where it should be, and be able to walk more peacefully.
Renn actually doesn't believe this kind of rhetoric in his heart. People will die if they are killed... Ahem, it's obviously a magic attack targeting spiritual bodies. What redeeming effect can it have?
However, baptismal chanting is better than physical destruction or burning the bodies of these orphans.
Buzz~
The salvation ceremony soon began. As the brilliant golden runes circulated, a sacred beam of light was quickly released from the Holy Flame Sword, covering the entire basement!
As the chanting continued, the secrets of the church were unfolded vividly.
Dreamlike pure white light rain appeared out of thin air, fluttering!
Bathed in the soft divine light, the orphans in the coffins no longer made any slight noises. Their bodies gradually melted like ice and snow encountering the scorching sun, but the expressions on their faces gradually became peaceful.
Finally, a trace of their remaining spirits floated up from the coffin.
As if to express their gratitude, these teenagers nodded to Ren, who was performing the ceremony in the middle, and disappeared in the sacred light.
The light in the dark room gradually dimmed, and the coffin became empty.
Everyone was silent when they saw this, and Ren sighed.
At the end of the ceremony, the haze and decay were swept away, and the basement became less eerie and more peaceful.
"Let's go."
Ren said softly, and the holy flame sword on the ground trembled slightly, disintegrated into a ball of blue smoke, and was taken back into the "Infinite Arms".
Everyone had their own concerns. After leaving the dark room, the two agents closed the secret door and breathed a sigh of relief.
After returning to the church courtyard, the deputy with sunken eyes announced on the spot:
They will immediately notify the European headquarters by phone. If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow the Holy Church will officially strip Kotomine Kirei of his identity as overseer, expel him from the church system, and no longer recognize him as a priest.
And the Holy Church will officially want him in the name of a heretic and a degenerate.
This is not surprising. If he only participated in the war privately, the church might just arrest Kotomine Kirei and let him sit in jail.
But after Father Mapo did such an evil thing, he had to clean up his family and give an explanation. If he didn't kill him, it wouldn't be enough for the people to be angry.
"So, it's okay to kill him directly?" Ren asked.
"Naturally, and if necessary, we will let the people below search for his traces and provide you with the necessary intelligence and military support. Even if Kotomine Kirei escapes, he will be hunted down by the church after the Holy Grail War.
.”
The two representatives said unceremoniously.
If it weren't for the Holy Church Church having no masters in Fuyuki City, the Holy Grail War going on, and Mapo colluding with the King of Heroes, the Church would have started to hunt him down.
But for the time being, there is nothing they can do.
"No need, the information is of no use at this time. There is no burial mechanism. The people of the Knights, with the three-legged cats like you two, combined, can't defeat Kotomine Kirei. I really don't like it. Continue.
Just wipe your butt in secret."
Renn simply refused the church's assistance, which was a bit rude and made the two representatives look slightly embarrassed.
But they didn't say much.
Nonsense, who would stay in a small city like the Far East if they were strong enough?
Christianity has little market in Japan. Except for people like Mapo who have ulterior motives, all the capable people are hanging out in Europe.
The two of them are just third-rate agents. They have always been frustrated, so they do the dirty work of blocking routes, cleaning up traces, cleaning up messes in this damn place... specifically wiping the butts of those Servants.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "That's it, Archer, Saber... it's up to you for the time being. If anyone can kill the heretic Kotomine Kirei this time, they will gain the friendship and support of the church.
Reward." said the agent with deep-set eyes.
This matter has come to an end.
The people of the Holy Church will continue to work to secretly eliminate the impact of those battles and ensure that the Holy Grail War is carried out secretly.
In addition to Father Mapo losing his iron job and becoming a heretic and a wanted criminal, the fight that needs to be fought must continue.
Although Emiya Shirou was a little dissatisfied with this, he didn't say much.
There is no better outcome.
Seeing that the dust had settled and the night was getting darker, Saber took the worried Shirou and prepared to leave, and Ren also called Medusa to leave.
"Wait, Archer..."
At this time, the red-nosed representative called out to him.
"What else is going on?" Renn felt a little strange.
"This." The red-nosed agent rubbed his hands and looked at him with a fiery look, "Sir, are you Saint Peter, the Apostle John, or Saint George..."
Apparently he misunderstood and thought Archer was a Christian saint.
It's just a baptismal chant. The long sword may not be as good as the Spear of Longinus, but it is definitely a precious holy object.
"No need to ask, I am not a saint of the church."
Renn couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He was a great socialist successor and did not engage in feudal superstition.
The red-nosed agent refused to give up and asked:
"This... you are not the great prophet Moses, are you?"
Since it can compete with the famous Hero King, it is definitely the top heroic spirit, Moses, King Solomon... only these famous figures can do it.
"..."
Ren glanced at him, yawned and said, "No, no, don't get me wrong, I'm not that generous. If I were Moses, I would definitely beat the Pharaoh Ramesses II into a pig's head and take away the beauty.
Nefertari.
Damn you, you still dare to steal a woman from me, you are so tired of living!"
Moses in the moon world is La Er's good friend, and there was an ambiguous love triangle... well, Moses gave up on his own initiative.
Of course, if it were Renn in the same situation, he would not give up.
Brothers don’t need it, but girls must get it.
"..."
The two representatives were speechless.
This way of speaking did not sound like a saint. Although they were full of curiosity, they did not ask Archer's identity in the end.
As for Archer's claim that he has nothing to do with the church, they don't believe it either.
Renn: You can always lie to others. Damn, no one will believe you if you tell the truth this time.
………
The moonlight was as cold as water, and under the dark blue night, everything on the path was silent.
Since there were several police cars and a group of enthusiastic citizens joining in the fun at the foot of the hillside of the church, everyone did not return the same way they came, but chose another path to leave.
However, looking down from the edge of this forest path, one can still see the remaining traces of the previous battle between Ren and the King of Heroes.
Many deep cracks were torn into the earth, and there were countless large black pits. Above the battlefield, wisps of black smoke lingered, flames intertwined, and hot and boiling high-temperature magma flowed and splashed in the cracks of the pits!
Dense vegetation and trees, asphalt roads, those street lights... nearly a kilometer in radius, everything that once existed has been erased.
"Oh my god, what on earth is going on here?"
"I don't know, it's like purgatory."
"I've seen the scene after a volcanic eruption, and it's never been so scary."
Some citizens stopped at the edge of the battlefield to watch and let out bursts of exclamations.
Not to mention ordinary people like them, Shirou, Medusa and the others were all surprised when they saw it, this kind of destructive power was too terrifying.
Staring at the battlefield with green eyes, Saber estimated the firepower of both sides. After a long time, she took a deep breath and looked at Archer's back with strong fear and a burning desire to fight.
Ren seemed to feel something, and turned back to King Da Mao with a bright smile:
"What, Miss Knight Wang, has recovered and wants to backstab her ally?"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene was a little tense.
"Do you know what's going on?"
King Daimao frowned, that smile was so hateful, it always seemed to her like a provocation.
Her words were actually a bit ambiguous. It could be understood that she wanted to stab her in the back, or that she didn't understand why Archer knew her status.
Of course, the former is unlikely.
"Saber, do you want to ask why after re-signing the contract with Shirou Emiya, you received a supply of magic power and returned to normal levels?" Ren smiled and pondered.
Now the "Eye of Breaking Delusion" shows that King Da Mao has returned to normal levels.
Strength B, Durability B, Agility A, Magic A, Luck B, Noble Phantasm A. This kind of data is much stronger than before, and the Holy Sword of Liberation Excalibur is no longer reluctant.
"You know why?"
Arturia stared at him and asked, and Shirou also turned his gaze.
She didn't understand how she could regain her condition after re-signing the contract, at least no worse than when Kiritsugu became Master.
"It's very simple. The master-slave contract includes two parts: the command spell system and the magic connection...Before, the magic between you was not connected." Ren explained calmly.
Normally, as long as the summoning of the servant is successful, the command spell will appear and the two connections will be stable, but there are also special circumstances.
For example, Director Ken cracked the command spell mechanism ten years ago.
He has three Command Seals of his own and controls Lancer Diarmuid.
But the magic power required for Brother Brush's activities is provided by Director Ken's fiancée Sora, which means the contract is split.
When the young hero summoned Saber before, he was too hasty and didn't even recite the spell...
The result is that the command spell is there, but the magical connection between them is not connected.
As a result, Saber became a stranded fish. Almost all the magic power needed for her activities was provided by the "Dragon Factor", the heart of the red dragon, without any supplement.
However, the contract was forcibly severed by Mother C using the "Lu Lu Bu Tire Card", and then Saber and Shirou re-signed it, but by some strange combination of circumstances, the contract became complete.
in short,
Da Mao Wang is online again,
She has turned over!
As for her, who is quite strong-willed and refuses to admit defeat, the first thing she wants to do after she turns over is to regain her place in Rennes!
After all, Archer beat her up and walked away at Matou's house.
"Miss Knight King, there is no need to treat me as an imaginary enemy.
Rin and I don't care about the broken cup. After defeating the King of Heroes, the Holy Grail can be given to you first."
Renn spread his hands and said nonchalantly.
"Archer, I don't need you to give me the Holy Grail. I will fight for what I want myself!" King Dumao turned his face and snorted, and said righteously.
The girl has her own pride and is unwilling to accept this kind of "charity" kindness.
"Besides, it's okay if we don't continue to fight. A sufficient number of Servants must be eliminated before the Holy Grail can be formed." As soon as he finished speaking, King Da Mao glanced at Medusa, and his meaning was self-evident.
Ren's expression remained unchanged:
"The number is actually enough. You only need to kill five servants to form the Holy Grail. Don't forget that there is an extra Hero King this time."
The three knights of Witch Medea, Big Dog, and Sasaki Kojiro have been eliminated. All we need to do is kill Berserker and the King of Heroes.
In the end, he, Saber and Sister R survived, which is no problem at all.
What's more, Jin Shining Shining is so strong, the king of kings, one section is stronger than six sections, killing him alone can probably defeat several servants.
This is well-founded. In the HF line, Kuro Sakura was full after swallowing one of his.
Artoria naturally knew that the quantity was enough, but she had no intention of giving up and looked at Medusa with bright eyes:
"But I still want to fight you two, and defeat you two at least once, so that I can obtain the Holy Grail with peace of mind.
Archer, you are very strong, stay until the end, I want to defeat her once, and time is running out, so why not do it now?"
Still so stubborn and strong... Renn laughed dumbly.
"Oh, little girl, do you really want to fight?"
The corners of Medusa's mouth curled up in a seductive arc. She used her height advantage to look down at Saber and spoke with a hint of provocation, "I also want to experience the strength of the King of Knights."
"Rider, let's give it a try!"
Of course, Saber will not show weakness. She was very unconvinced when Medusa threw her out of the battlefield due to her carelessness in the church.
After saying that, she immediately pulled out the invisible sword, released her magic power and woven it into a set of exquisite silver knight armor to cover her body, and a fighting spirit like a clear stream burst out!
With a flash of cold light, two daggers appeared in Medusa's hands.
As the night fell, the two women looked at each other, as if a flash of lightning flashed.
"Hey, there's no need for this." Shirou, who had been distracted, was woken up, sweating on his forehead, and hurriedly tried to persuade him.
Looking at the fiercely fighting Arturia opposite, Ren reached out and put his hand on Medusa's shoulder to stop her from stepping forward:
"Saber, we admit defeat in this round, you only need to defeat me once."
"Humph, why should I..."
Medusa was naturally a little unhappy and wanted to refute, but under the Master's sharp gaze, she had to put down her weapon.
Because you really can't beat me, don't look for abuse, Ren cursed.
Saber's salted fish has turned over, and she has no shortage of magic power. If someone gets a curry stick and smacks her face, Sister R will pick it up with her head?
Pegasus is no match for the holy sword Excalibur and will be blown up on the spot.
Although it's not like Sister R can't fight against the Dumb King if she puts on the "Valkyrie Armor", it's not necessary.
After winning a round directly, Saber didn't appreciate it, but was a little angry:
"Archer, what do you mean? Are you looking down on me? I have already said that there is no need for charity or courtesy!"
It's not that she doesn't know how to adapt, she just doesn't want to get something for nothing.
Archer didn't owe her anything, but she owed him a favor this time. He wasn't any of her relatives or friends, so she had no reason to take advantage of him.
"Don't get me wrong... Well, it suddenly occurred to me that there is a better way."
Ren was about to explain a few words, but an idea struck him.
You don’t want to win by lying down, do you?
Okay, then let's just rely on our abilities in the decisive battle.
