Instead of creating a solid barrier, he created a barrier using the shaking caused by the weak familiar. Although it was an incredible situation, his companions did not show any particularly shocked expressions.
When he saw that situation, the supervising priest, Hanse Cervantes, seemed to be very impressed and began to speculate on this series of magic.
——I see, this is the famous butterfly magic of Werner Sissamund.
——And since he ascended to the pornographic position at such a young age, it is no wonder that he was included in the warning list of the Holy Church.
Although he was also a member of the church, he looked at the young genius magician and a participant in the Holy Grail War with a cheerful expression as if it had nothing to do with him.
Even though he felt that the people standing around him now each had the power to be close to him.

Tens of seconds ago, Snowfield city center.
"A very powerful typhoon is approaching. Citizens, please refrain from going out. If possible, please go to the basement to evacuate like a tornado -"
The same warnings were broadcast repeatedly on television and radio across the city, and sirens blared in the streets at a scale specially tuned to cause uneasiness.
The siren, which was originally played when a very large tornado blew away houses, now serves as a warning to the citizens that what they are experiencing is a calamity comparable to that.
But even so, people in the towns only listened to the radio with hesitation.
There is no doubt that there is a huge wall of clouds to the west of the city. But there is no strong wind like a normal hurricane. You can also see the blue sky looking up from the town.
Although the sound of the wind came from the west, only the sound came from a distance, and the strong wind did not ravage the town.
Instead, they felt like a heavy air was being forcibly pressed into the town.
You can see many residents thinking, 'Is there really going to be a devastating disaster?', ignoring warnings and going out, or taking photos of huge clouds from their windows on the west.
"I always feel that there is a strange feeling?"
The department store clerk wearing punk style clothes said this as he walked towards the Livehouse, which was sturdier than his own home.
"What about gas explosions, terrorist acts, diseases, meteorites? This is what the end of the world means, right?"
Even if he is extremely rebellious, he will sympathize with the administrative agencies that have suffered successive major disasters. But at the same time, he did not think too much about the evacuation instructions. He just thought, "Forget it, it's better than his own home."
Is that a shabby house or a department store better? This is the reason why I go to Livehouse.
"It's underground there... It would be a little bad if it rains..."
At this moment——
"?!"
A completely different violent wind hit the entire town, and the streets were instantly stained with the color of rain and dust brought by the hurricane.
"Wow!? It came all of a sudden...wait...no, are you kidding me!?"
This was the first time in his life that he encountered a storm of this level.
Although the punk youth rushed towards the entrance of the Livehouse, his body was hit by the strong wind and his steps were slowed down.
Then, before his eyes, an unmanned car that was obviously blown by the wind fell towards him.
"Ah...it's troublesome..."
The punk youth felt his own mortality.
However, before that, a figure suddenly appeared, hugging the punk youth and jumping up.
That's a police officer.
"Are you okay?! Come in quickly!"
"Okay, okay!"
Not understanding what happened, the punk youth blinked.
"Ah - that's what!...Thank you, thank you!"
Although he was confused when he saw the police officer whose movements were obviously beyond human level, the young man still thanked him despite his confusion.
The police officer seemed not to have expected to be thanked at all. After a moment his eyes widened, he smiled at the young man.
"You're welcome, this is my job."
John, one of the "Twenty-Seven Monsters" codenamed, continued running wildly through the town that was swallowed up by the storm after helping the citizens.
"Doesn't it violate the mysterious concealment? If it's that level just now..."
While mentally deciding to fool him by saying that 'the wind makes the body look like it's floating', John continued to run without any hesitation.
John temporarily gained superhuman power through the Noble Phantasm of Alexandre Dumas, the police chief's servant.
Even though several days have passed, he is still not completely accustomed to this power. Although it is a power that can be used naturally in battle if he encounters an unusually strong enemy, but now that he is out of battle, it feels a bit...
Too much.
John and several of his companions are still patrolling the town, and are trying to hide the mystery and take actions to get the citizens to evacuate.
It is said that one day, this town will be destroyed.
However, the director said that in order to prevent this from happening, everyone must persist until the end.
Although John is a magician, he was a police officer before that. So he was extremely happy with the police chief's decision.
Very happy.
——"You are righteous."
The words he was told when he joined this war still support his actions even now.
Many things that happened in a short period of time were the source of John's strength and the reason why he kept running in the storm.
——"Do you hate Emiya Kiritsugu?"
John suddenly remembered someone's voice.
Who said that?
I feel like it should have been said by the person I met at the door of the Sheriff’s Office.
It feels like she might be a girl, or maybe a boy.
——"The plane your mother flew on."
——"It was not an accident."
——"It's not a terrorist attack either."
——"What made it fall was."
——"Magician."
--"camouflage."
--"hidden."
I feel like I should have been instilled with various words at that time.
It was a sound that seemed to confuse me and plunge me into chaos.
While John threw himself into the storm and helped the citizens from time to time, in the corner of his mind, memories of the past began to awaken.
When he heard that voice, John even felt that his soul was shaken.
I feel like I'm trapped in hatred.
But now everything has been crossed.
All thanks to the Sheriff.
Because of this, he can still continue to fight.
Is it because he said he would protect this town?
No, that is the path you choose.
John believed this from the bottom of his heart and just ran forward.
The body is very light.
It even made him feel as if his body was no longer his own.
So, it's okay.
Even if I am, I am no longer me.
Even if I become something other than a human being, I will.
I will definitely continue to protect this town.
John, who had been thinking about this kind of thing, didn't notice it.
What kind of situation am I currently in?
Now, I haven't noticed it yet.
············
Valley area.
"Having said that, it seems that your efficiency has improved a lot. If you hadn't accumulated any special training since I saw it last time, wouldn't this be a little troublesome?"
Looking at the state of the 'Butterfly Barrier' spread around her, Luvia Serenita Edelfeldt asked.
Facing Luvia who said something strange like 'It's obvious that efficiency has increased but it's causing headaches', Werner tensed his head and nodded as if to express his approval.
"That's right. My magic just showed near the highest degree of completion. This is too bad."
Hearing this, Tohsaka Rin continued to look at the other side of the forest and said.
"Werner's magic is in excellent condition, which means... this place has begun to become ambiguous... I guess."
The Sissamond family's butterfly magic is based on the process of a taro insect transforming into a butterfly through its pupa, and this "mysterious transformation into a completely different creature" is the basis.
It is a magic that interferes with the world by controlling the 'blur' between confirmed things and unconfirmed things at the ambiguous moment when everything changes.
The fact that this magic is 'close to its best' means a possibility.
Rin revealed this fact while looking at the forest with taboo.
"If we leave it alone, this world will really be replaced (ended)."
Centered on the temple in the forest, the human world has begun to gradually deteriorate.
Right now it's just the quality of magic power and the feeling of air, but it will gradually have an impact on the material realm. If it continues to develop unchecked, there will probably be a 'singularity' that starts from that temple and erodes the entire world.
However, the situation did not end there.
The magic arrows that continued to be shot from near the industrial area of the town were once again entangled with a snake-like curse, winding up towards the huge 'foot'.
That's almost like saying that the first nine arrows shot were just a test to wait and see - or it was a bait to lure out the foot, and now is the real attack.
"Wow...how can I put it this way? I feel like I'm going to regret coming here after seeing this?"
"But wouldn't you regret it if you didn't come?"
"That's right! Such things don't happen that often."
While looking at the strange scene spreading on the west side of the town, Latiya and Najika, the Pantel sisters, said this quietly.
Luvia, who heard their whispers, shrugged with a movement that even made people feel elegant.
"Oh, if you go on a field trip with your teacher, you will unexpectedly see this kind of thing frequently, right?"
"It's really good luck that the professor got the lottery... It really makes one wonder if he did it intentionally."
I don't know if she thought of something, but Rin complained as if she agreed.
Not far away from their conversation, young people exuding beast or reptile-like auras were having a conversation.
"The foot that fell from the sky is undoubtedly a mythical beast or something. It is as transparent as water, but the smell that crushes everything has even reached here!"
"...As for the snake, it can be said to be the ancestor of all snake venom and snake curses."
"Um...is that what your familiars said, Roland?"
"My snakes (world) are all fearing, praising, hating, and worshiping that existence... It's so interesting!"
After hearing the words of the laughing Roland Perkinski, the boy of beasts - Sven Grashet said while carefully observing the battle of beasts in the age of gods.
"Because they're disturbing the grounds and I can't smell that sucker."
"No matter what, we can only ask them to withdraw from this land... no, withdraw from this Holy Grail War."
When Luvia said this, Rin let out a long sigh and spoke as if she was tired.
"I didn't expect that the first thing we did after expressing our willingness to participate to the supervisor was to fight with the gods..."
I always feel that the current atmosphere is inexplicably consistent with my own existence. While feeling this sense of dissonance, Rin thought of the past and the professor, as well as the young man he picked up in the pirate era, and a series of things that happened around him
incident, he said to himself.
"Really... Professor, are you deliberately trying to kill all the mysterious hunters?"
············
The upper part of the Temple of Ishtar.
"..."
"Excuse me, what happened, Goddess Ishtar."
Looking at Ishtar who ignored the commotion in front of her and just looked northeast, Halli asked.
"Hmm... Is it an illusion? I always have an inexplicable feeling... People who are related to me in this era should not exist. Could it be that there are descendants of the people of Uruk? But it is just a trivial matter anyway.
"
After lightly shrugging, Ishtar changed her mood.
"anyway……"
Ishtar turned his gaze to the temple and said.
"What a waste."
She looked at the front legs of her family that had stepped down from the air.
While looking at the huge group of snakes intending to eat the forefoot flesh made of divine energy, the goddess who descended on Philia's body muttered.
"If you hadn't fallen into an Avenger, you could have done the same thing with pure divinity, right?"
Feeling the aura of the heroic spirit that imitated the magic arrows of the Great Serpent of the Gods that was constantly shooting towards him, Ishtar felt neither fear nor vigilance, nor even arrogance——
Just expressing my thoughts as a bystander.
"However, the gods of the Western Land are weird people. They often force their hatred and love on humans for no reason... so such profound distortions may not be helpable in a sense.
.”
"Human beings who are dominated by Hoshimi Mountain (Olympus) must also have a hard time because of their different values."
············
The top of Crystal Hill.
Enkidu, who was on the top floor of the building, whispered quietly.
"...'That thing' is indeed, without a doubt, a pillar among the gods. It fits so well that it gives people a headache."
Although the storm was still roaring around, the upper part of the Crystal Hill was protected by a barrier created by the magicians of Tiny's organization, which reduced the impact of the storm somewhat. ()
