Chapter 767

With the activation of this eye soul, spiritual energy and magic power belonging to many Knights of the Round Table began to be injected crazily into Matthew's body. Starting from her arm, the lavender magic circuit gradually spread to the girl's body.

But along with this huge influx of power came the severe pain that was about to tear Ma Xiu's soul apart.

As a living human being, Matthew's existence is simply not enough to carry the size of a dozen Knights of the Round Table. The magic circuit was lit to the limit, and the power even overflowed from the edge of the circuit and began to crack Matthew's snow-white skin. , splashing out little bits of blood with purple light.

His consciousness fell into chaos under the wash of magic power, and everything around him seemed to slow down.

In this state, past memories flashed through Matthew's mind like a revolving lantern, and finally settled on the origin of this eye soul——

"Listen, Matthew Kyrielight. From today on, I will be in charge of your education."

That was a past that was so far away that Mashu already felt a little blurry.

At that time, Ma Xiu was still young, and it was also the time when he had just started to have contact with the man in front of him, named Chen Shi, with black hair and golden eyes.

In Mashu's impression, he was a man who often said nonsense and was kinder to him than most of the people in Chaldea.

Due to the Spirit Rider Project, the time the two of them spend together is second only to the time she spends with Romani. If Romani plays the role of "father" in Matthew's growth, then Chen Xiao undoubtedly plays the role of "father" in Matthew's growth. Belongs to the position of "mentor".

However, what no one actually noticed or expected was that from the initial relationship to a very late period of time, Matthew had actually been hiding an idea that only he knew until now.

——Matthew Kyrielet somewhat dislikes the man named Oath.

Yes, Matthew, who didn't even feel disgusted with evil people like Beryl, actually hated Chen Oath from the bottom of her heart. This was something that surprised even her.

Because of her special background, Mashu has always been a flawless and somewhat hollow person. In her words, she lacks the element of being a "human". She regards herself as a weapon and prop of Chaldea. Treat all "people" as your predecessors.

But Chen Shi was different. When facing this man, for the first time in his life, Ma Xiu witnessed an existence that was even less "human" than himself.

Even though his disguise deceived everyone in Chaldea, his words and deeds were like a parody of "people" in the eyes of his fellow man, Masu. When acting with him, Masu Xiu will even have the illusion that he is performing a puppet show with the other person.

Maybe same-sex repulsion?

Ma Xiu hated Chen Shi a little. For a long period of time, he just mechanically completed the training tasks assigned to him by the other party, and only maintained the minimum communication with Chen Shi.

But such a complicated and unfamiliar feeling changed after one incident.

One day, Chen Zhi called her into the training room and handed her a purple eye soul.

"This eye soul is a special prop that I specially designed for you. Your physique is very special. It can be said to be the most suitable container in the world to carry the power of a heroic spirit. If ordinary people become pseudo-heroic spirits, they can exert their original heroic spirits. 70% of your strength, then you can reach 100% without any hindrance.

But our enemies are very powerful. One day you will encounter a powerful enemy that cannot be touched by the power of the heroic spirit. At that time, it is time for this eye soul to play its role.

It can forcibly combine the power of multiple heroic spirits to reach areas that a single soul cannot reach. The number of heroic spirits it can carry depends on your own carrying limit and compatibility with the heroic spirits. "

That's what Chen Shi said at that time, and Ma Xiu didn't think much, so he took over the eye soul and started new training.

The results were terrible.

Just adding a heroic spirit's spiritual base, Matthew's blood vessel burst and almost died. That day, Matthew saw the furious Romani for the first time in a trance. He got very angry at Chen Shi and said Said something to him.

Romani doted on Matthew very much, and she had already expected that she would be angry because of Matthew's injury.

But what Ma Xiu didn't expect was that after that day, Chen Shi suddenly changed. He silently sealed the purple eye soul. Although his attitude towards Ma Xiu did not change on the surface, the sensitive Ma Xiu noticed the difference.

In Matthew's view, when facing himself, he began to slowly become like a "human".

This made Matthew's dislike for him slowly begin to diminish, and new feelings came to his heart unconsciously.

--why? How on earth did he do it?

There is no need for a reason for a person to behave like a "human", but the reason why a "puppet" becomes a human is something that Matthew wants to know no matter what.

Therefore, after a training session, Ma Xiu couldn't help but take the initiative to talk to Chen Shi.

"Why is the attitude different?"

Matthew remembered that when he heard this question, Chen Shu's eyes flashed with a little surprise, but soon, the surprise turned into guilt and shame.

To be honest, that was the most "human" look in Chen Shi's expression that Matthew had ever seen.

At this moment, his curiosity was at an all-time high. With Ma Xiu's eager anticipation, Chen vowed to tell his answer.

"Sorry, I was a little too impatient before. But that Roman guy woke me up and told me that if it was my sister who was injured that day, I would understand how he felt.

I tried to think about it and felt that I was indeed a little too strict with you. You, like Ritsuka, are still just children.

You don't have to worry about the eyes and soul anymore, I will try to find a more secure solution. "

Chen Shi smiled sheepishly, and for the first time, Ma Xiu learned about the powerful existence that could turn "puppet" into "human".

——Ritsuka...

Afterwards, Chen Shi didn't have time to produce any research results, because of Leif's betrayal of Chaldea, he also left here together.

In the end, Mashu didn't have the chance to see the new eye soul and the Ritsuka mentioned in Chen Shi's mouth.

Until a few years later, she saw a girl walking along the roadside.

"That, that! Please wait a moment."]

Asuna: Okay, okay! So I was waiting here!

Trailblazer: Woc, I thought this was a flashback to explain Chen Shi and Matthew's past, but it turned out to be a large-scale missionary scene.

The great teacher’s dead fish eyes: Where are these memories explaining the origin of the eyes and soul? This is basically a story about a victim who is bewitched by a succubus and drags another victim into misery.

Ural Silver Wolf: Fujimaru Ritsuka, a sinful woman!

It was simply the sound of nature: I couldn't sleep at night, so I watched carefully for half the night, and then I saw the words between the words in the video. There were two words written all over the video - "Succubus"!

Tracking EX: Alas, Master’s charm has no place to be. Now I must get married.

Cancer of the Earth: It turns out that the fate between Mash-chan and Ritsuka-chan was tied up by her brother a long time ago! Rounding it all off is booking a baby kiss!

ZIO second generation: Huh?

President of Meili Support Club: Huh?

Crown Bomber: Huh?

The Sleeping Beauty of Literature: Who taught you how to read and comprehend this way?

[The encounter with Fujimaru Ritsuka completely changed Mashu's destiny and made her a real Kamen Rider.

But the intensity of the battle far exceeded everyone's imagination. Unknowingly, the girl named Fujimaru Ritsuka was far ahead of everyone.

After the Demon Guardian invaded Fuyuki's singularity, this feeling of powerlessness finally reached its peak.

So, Mashu secretly dug out the sealed eye soul from the underground facilities of Sky Temple. This time, he no longer acted simply for the wishes of others, but to firmly control this power within himself. The palm of my hand, to become stronger for myself.

Matthew approached Romani and Leonardo da Vinci, and after frankly stating his wishes, he asked them to strengthen and transform this eye soul for his current self.

The two were initially unwilling to let Matthew use such dangerous power, but in the end they could not overcome Matthew's persistence and completed the transformation of their eyes and soul before setting off to the Babylonian Singularity.

However, when handing the eye soul to Matthew, Leonardo da Vinci still reminded Matthew.

After all, Mashu is not Fujimaru Ritsuka as a ghost. As a human being, using the power of a heroic spirit beyond his own limits is pushing himself into the abyss of death.

Just like in a certain Xingyue world line belonging to a purple-haired female passerby, the red-haired young man who gave up being a partner of justice suffered a complete physical collapse just because he received an arm from his future self.

An arm with excellent compatibility is already like this, let alone stuffing the soul bases of dozens of heroic spirits into the body of just one person?

…

The flesh is being torn apart in a literal sense, and Mashu's magic circuit has now turned red and purple, almost turning into a bloody man.

"Well--"

However, she just growled, and her seemingly delicate body did not tremble at all. Under the unbearable gazes of the three people around her, she looked straight ahead, looking at the enemy she wanted to defeat.

Then, as if some critical point was broken, the energy that originally poured into Ma Xiu's body in disorder was actually restrained by the eye soul at this moment. The energy escaping from Ma Xiu's body turned into bits of starlight and returned to the eye soul. , the cross shield totem symbolizing Mashu himself is engraved on the eyes of the soul.

"Huhuhu..."

"Go to war!"

Even though she was out of breath, Matthew's movements did not pause at all. She put the eye soul into the driver and pushed down the handle of the driver amidst the standby sound effect of the chorus version of the Knights of the Round Table.

The war horn sounded from the drive, with an aria-like oath, and the sound effects of the Soul of the Round Table appeared for the first time in the world.

"Open your eyes! Knights of Round! Humility! Honesty! Compassion! Valor! Justice! Sacrifice! Honor! Spirituality!"

After each of the eight virtues belonging to the knight was reported, a blue-black armor component flew out from the driver, flew around Mashu, who had transformed into the spirit knight body, for several times and then assembled on her body.

At first glance, the shape of the Round Table Soul is somewhat similar to that of the Grateful Soul, but there are obvious differences.

"Swear on this shield!"

As the last roll call was announced and the crown was crowned, the edges of the blue-black armor were lit up by purple light strips and golden streamlines. As the cross-shield totem emerged on the face, purple light particles were ejected from the gaps in the armor around the waist. , turned into a skirt flying in the wind, and completed the final embellishment for the soul of the round table.

Kamen Rider Mash's Spirit Rider Round Table Soul Form makes its grand appearance.

The resolute Shield Knight raised his head and looked at the Demon Protector again who was about to crawl out of the underworld.

At the same time, at the moment when the transformation was completed, the eye souls of the 12 Knights of the Round Table flew out of the shield-shaped guard on Matthew's left arm like meteors, and all loaded themselves into the eye gun defender, at the position of the disc. The totems of 12 knights were revealed.

"Arthur! Kay! Mordred! Gawaine! Lancelot! Tristan! Bedivere! Gareth Gareth! Percivale! Agravain! Lamorak! Galahad! Admit it!”

"Over Reload!"

The disk began to rotate at high speed.

Mashu's right arm suddenly exerted force to lift the eye gun defender stuck in the ground. He took a heavy step back and stepped on the ground, holding the weapon horizontally with both hands.

Under her will, the Eye Gun Defender took on the final form that could only be wielded by the spirit of the Round Table.

"Change! Black Barrel Mode!"

The black gun is an imitation of one of the seven weapons of the Atlas Institute. After seeing the Eye Gun Defender, Leonardo da Vinci had a sudden idea and combined it with the special characteristics of the Spirit Rider system to tailor it for Matthew. Exclusive final weapon.

By using the high-intensity magic power generated by Mash's life and eye soul as energy and bullets, this weapon can exert a paradoxical effect on the locked target, observe the opponent's life distance, and finally fire his "Tianshou" as a poisonous bullet. , exerting an attack power proportional to the lifespan of that life.

However, because the energy required by Kamen Rider's version of the black gun is too overbearing, and will even drain Mashu's own life span, it is expressly prohibited from use by Romani, and the little Leonardo da Vinci who transformed it was even banned. He cursed profusely.

But now it's different. The appearance of the Round Table Soul can barely keep the consumption of the black gun equal. This is the main reason why Matthew has to endure so much pain to transform into the Round Table Soul.

The machine is deformed.

The bracket used for fixation extends from the inside of the shield and is deeply inserted into the ground to provide impact resistance for subsequent attacks.

The eye gun defender unfolded from it, and a pitch-black muzzle with a vicious red light extended out. The high-speed rotating disc fully catalyzed the energy of the 12 Knights of the Round Table, and then injected it all into the gun body through the conduit.

But even so, there was still a slight lag in Matthew's steps, and the magic circuit climbed up her cheek again, but she quickly regained her balance, lowered her center of gravity and was ready to pull the trigger.

Under Mashu's visor, the lavender cursor was completely locked on the demon protector Weather. The strong sense of crisis caused the latter to start struggling crazily, and turbulent energy mixed with various weather burst out from its body. , almost knocking Ishtar's Noble Phantasm away.

Before that happened, Mashu took a deep breath and pulled the trigger in his hand.

"Round's Eyes Open! Knights of Round! Omega Black Barrel!"

As the gunfire came out, the colorful energy was compressed and engraved by the paradox structure built into the gun body, and finally condensed into pure black magic power, which inexorably penetrated the energy shield constructed by the Demon Protector Weather.

There was no energy escaping like an ordinary light cannon. At the moment when it was concentrated by the black gun, all the dark energy penetrated into the body of the Demon Protector Weather like maggots on the tarsal bones.

The poison from "Tian Shou" exploded instantly, completely destroying all functions of the Demon Protector Weather from the inside.

Then, starting from the hit location, a collapse phenomenon similar to a black hole occurs, sucking the target into it without resistance and disappearing from this world.

…

"!?"

The second time, the Perfect Demon Protector showed humane emotions, but the target was not directed at the special individual Fujimaru Ritsuka, but at another battlefield.

Just now, the Perfect Demon Protector felt the return of Demon Protector Weather.

What is incredible is that the return of the Demon Guardian did not bring back any information.

This is an extremely abnormal thing.

You must know that even when he was defeated by the Infinite Soul several times before, although the information the Demon Guardian was able to bring back was very little, he still brought back some information, allowing Julian to know about such a powerful enemy as the Infinite Soul. .

But this time, the Demon Protector Weather seemed to have been formatted, completely maintaining the state it had just been sent out before. The Perfect Demon Protector didn't even know how it was defeated.

"The variables have increased again."

The feeling that the situation was gradually out of control made the Julian part of the Perfect Demon Protector become extremely irritable, and the offensive against Fujimaru Ritsuka became more and more fierce. 】

In Chaldea in the real world.

"Ma Xiu's new form is so handsome! Especially the black gun, it's awesome. I want such a gorgeous weapon too!"

Looking at the new purple and black posture, Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes were shining with praises, and his hands kept imitating Mashu holding the black gun. He wished he could rush into the video and touch the weapon.
