Chapter 1112: Realm of Zero
"It seems that neither side needs me to attack, but Minamoto Raikou seems to hold back."
Watching Miyamoto Musashi go from being at a disadvantage to slowly equalizing and suppressing Minamoto Raikou, Shen Fei looked at Minamoto Raikou with some surprise. Although she did not seem to show any mercy and left a lot of injuries on Musashi, she never used the Noble Phantasm.
For a Servant, the Noble Phantasm is the key to victory or defeat. If Minamoto Raikou uses the Noble Phantasm, with the current strength of Musashi, he will definitely not be able to stop it. He has seen the scene of Minamoto Raikou slaughtering more than 10,000 soldiers before. His Noble Phantasm is not the kind of Noble Phantasm that attacks on a large scale, but the Noble Phantasm that can summon something like a shadow clone. Now it is so difficult for Musashi to fight one, and if there are several shadow clones, he is definitely not an opponent.
In fact, Shen Fei's understanding is a bit wrong. Minamoto Raikou's Noble Phantasm is not something that summons something like a shadow clone, and there is also thunder. Although there is also lightning flashing on her sword now, compared with the lightning of the Noble Phantasm, the power is much weaker.
"Be careful, Master of Chaldea, the God of Ghost Poison is a thousand purples and a thousand reds." Minamoto no Raikou did not use the treasure, but Shuten-douji was not polite at all and directly opened his treasure.
Shuten-douji's treasure is poison. As long as she has a thought, she can turn the wine in her hand into a thousand purples and a thousand reds of poison. This thousand purples and a thousand reds refers to the color of the wine. According to the legend, when Minamoto no Raikou went to defeat the demon, he brought this poison with him. This is a kind of wine that is non-toxic to humans, but it is very poisonous to demons. Relying on the plan, the demon drank this wine and was successfully defeated.
After Shuten-douji became a Heroic Spirit, the God of Ghost Poison Wine became her treasure.
It is very interesting to say that Minamoto no Raikou should be the one who killed Shuten-douji, but after becoming a Heroic Spirit, the relationship between the two is very good, even after being distorted into a Heroic Spirit Swordsman.
"The ideal city that is already far away." After seeing Shuten Douji use the Noble Phantasm, Mashu immediately activated the Noble Phantasm to block the poison gas released by the wine. Mashu's Noble Phantasm can not only block physical attacks, but also defend against attacks like poison gas.
"The Immortal Chaos Brigade." After Mashu used the Noble Phantasm to block Shuten Douji's Noble Phantasm, Fuma Kojiro also activated the Noble Phantasm, and the blazing flames surrounded Shuten Douji in an instant.
"It hurts so much, it seems I have to go first." Shuten Douji, who was in the flames, smiled at Ritsuka, then turned around and looked at Minamoto no Raikou, and his body turned into light and disappeared.
"That's it, cross slash."
After Shuten Douji returned to Valhalla, Minamoto no Raikou was a little emotional, and Musashi immediately seized this opportunity to break Minamoto no Raikou's lightning with a cross slash, severely injuring her.
"It seems that I lost. Don't worry, the Afeng siblings are fine. They are in the shrine below. Please apologize to her for me. We didn't mean to hurt them."
"I will tell them. Whether they will accept it depends on their attitude towards you." After hearing that the Afeng siblings were fine, Muramasa's serious expression finally disappeared.
"I didn't mean to hurt the children. It's a pity that Kintoki is not here, otherwise we would have left the stage faster." After saying this, Minamoto no Raikou's figure also turned into light and disappeared.
This group of heroic swordsmen is the least hostile to Ritsuka and Musashi. In the original work, it was Shuten Douji who repaired Ritsuka's magic circuit and let her contact Chaldea this time.
Of course, as ghosts, they have a ghost side. For example, when they helped Ritsuka repair the magic circuit, the means they used were very rough.
"Afeng." Soon, the group found Afeng and his brother at the shrine at the foot of the mountain on the other side of the mountain. Afeng carried her brother on her back. After seeing Muramasa, she immediately threw herself into his arms, crying and shouting "Grandpa". When she took her brother to face Minamoto no Raikou and Shuten-doji, she was able to calm down, but now when she saw the acquaintance, fear immediately surged into her heart.
"It's okay, don't worry, it's safe now." Muramasa kept comforting Afeng in a low voice.
"Big sister, samurai sister, and that ghost sister, they didn't hurt Afeng."
"We already know that the ghost sister and the others left in advance, and they told us that you were here." Muramasa did not tell Afeng and his brother that Minamoto no Raikou and Shuten-doji had disappeared.
"If there is anything, let's go back first." Shen Fei said and opened the portal, and the group immediately returned to the thatched hut. This situation made Muramasa look at Shen Fei several times.
"I didn't expect there was such magic, which saves a lot of time." Muramasa looked at Shen Fei and the portal, with a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was thinking about something.
After returning, the siblings fell asleep not long after. After all, they were still young and suffered such a change, so they were naturally very tired.
On Miyamoto Musashi's side, Yu Lixiang was using a healing magic outfit to help her heal. She had a serious injury in the battle with Minamoto Raikou. Because she had experienced a fierce battle, even though it was already dawn, the group stayed in the thatched hut to rest, and only Kato Danzo went out to inquire about the news.
"Can your magic take people out of this country and go to the world where Chaldea is?" While the others were resting, Muramasa found Shen Fei who was sitting on the side.
"Okay." Shen Fei nodded gently.
"Then can you do me a favor and take the siblings over after the things here are over?" Muramasa told Shen Fei his request.
"That's no problem, but can I know why?" Shen Fei looked at Muramasa with a surprised look on his face. He had never thought that Muramasa was looking for him to talk about this.
"I just want them to grow up safely, no matter what they do in the future, but here, peace can't last long. Even if there are no so-called transformations, there are still constant wars here, and ordinary people are in danger. Even if I have prepared money for them to live in the future, I can't guarantee that they can grow up safely. I know from Lixiang that your world can allow ordinary people to grow up without worries." Muramasa sighed deeply when he said this.
He himself was a person in the war era and knew very well what war was like. Before meeting Lixiang, he couldn't believe that there would be such a person.
In this time of war, even a noble princess may lose her country and family at any time. The so-called peace will not last more than ten years before war breaks out again. Before meeting Fujimaru Ritsuka, he never thought that there would be someone like Ritsuka in the world, who had never seen war and grew up safely.
Although he is a heroic spirit, because he was summoned in this era, he was not given modern knowledge, so he naturally did not know the situation in modern society.
Although modern society is not a completely peaceful world, it has to be admitted that it is much better than the ancient times of war and massacre, especially when there is a powerful country. Shen Fei grew up in such an environment in his previous life.
"No problem, when things here are over, I will take them away and ensure that they will have no worries for the rest of their lives." After listening to Muramasa's words, Shen Fei immediately nodded and agreed to his request. This was just a small matter for him. As for Afeng, Shen Fei also knew a lot from Ritsuka. She was a very sensible girl.
Considering Ritsuka's character, even if Muramasa didn't say it, she might make this request later. With the relationship between Ritsuka and Princess Kiyohime of Tokijo, before leaving, she might ask her to help take care of the brothers and sisters of Afeng, but even so, it is better to take them to modern society and be ordinary people.
Apart from other things, food and clothing are definitely not a problem in modern society, but in this era, for ordinary people, food and clothing are the biggest problem.
"Thank you."
"Don't be so polite. I know the owner of your body. If you take them there, it is very likely that he will take care of them. What do you think?" At this point, Shen Fei suddenly laughed. Thinking of Shirou Emiya suddenly having a granddaughter and grandson, he felt that the scene was very interesting.
Chiko Muramasa is an old man, but his appearance is exactly the appearance of the young Shirou Emiya, and his existence is similar to Ishtar.
"You decide."
"Let's eat this today, eat hot pot." Looking at the food brought out by Afeng, Shen Fei immediately took out the food he had been carrying.
"There is meat, there is meat." After seeing the meat, Afeng was very happy.
Due to the time, the siblings could only eat enough even with the care of Muramasa, the servant. As for meat, they could forget about it because of the time, and supplies were extremely scarce.
"Then eat more, and make sure you have enough."
"Next, it's the last two Heroic Swordsmen. It seems that we can't go to Tuqi Castle to find Princess Qingji today. We can only go tomorrow. Soon, Yinshun's revenge will be avenged." After dinner, Afeng carried his brother to wash the dishes. The group was discussing the matter of the Heroic Swordsmen. After Minamoto no Raikou and Shuten Douji disappeared, there were only two of the seven Heroic Swordsmen left. This situation made Musashi a little excited.
She always remembered Hozoin Yinshun who sacrificed himself to let them escape.
"Be careful, the enemy has appeared." At night, the group who were resting rushed out as soon as they found the changes outside. Senko Muramasa and Kato Danzo went to protect the siblings. They couldn't let the enemy take them hostages again. If it happened again, they wouldn't be so lucky.
"Since you are here, come out. It's just right for us to make a break." Musashi came to the courtyard, looked at the blood moon in the sky, and immediately shouted loudly to the surroundings.
The appearance of the blood moon means that there is a heroic swordsman nearby.
"There is no one around, and no monsters." Just when Musashi wanted to continue speaking, Shen Fei suddenly spoke. Musashi jumped onto the roof and scanned the surroundings. She did not find any enemies, which made her feel very strange.
"Let me explore." Kato Danzang walked out of the room, his body suddenly deformed, and a bamboo tube shot out from it. This situation made Shen Fei, Lixiang and others stunned, because it was a small rocket in the shape of a bamboo tube.
"This is a flying tube for exploration. It is connected to me through the secret technique, allowing me to observe the surroundings from the air." Duanzang said and began to control the flying tube she mentioned to observe the surroundings. The so-called flying tube is actually a telescope.
"Magic is really amazing."
Looking at Duan Zang's actions, Shen Fei couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Through the information he found and the conversations with Ritsuka and Mashu, he knew the origin of Kato Dan Zang. She was a mechanical doll and the person who raised Fuma Kojiro. She could be said to be her mother.
According to the name of modern society, Kato Dan Zang can be said to be an intelligent life. Except that her body is a mechanical doll, all her behaviors are no different from humans. She can think and have feelings.
"Something happened in Tuqi City." Duan Zang then told the situation he observed. There was a problem in Tuqi City.
"In Tuqi City, it can affect here. It seems that their plan is about to be completed and they must be stopped."
"Then let's go." Shen Fei then opened the portal and the group came to Tuqi City. If they came by walking or other means, it would take at least a few hours.
"Help, someone save me."
"Child, mom is here, don't be afraid."
"Mom, what's wrong with you, it's me, mom."
After the group arrived at the Tuqi City, they immediately discovered the changes here. The city was full of various monsters. They were slaughtering the fleeing humans. Although there were warriors resisting, the warriors were inferior to these monsters in both number and strength.
In the center of the city, the unheightened Tuqi City was shrouded in darkness. Several strange pillars appeared around it, and there were a lot of tentacles.
"Hurry up and save people." Musashi said, and jumped out. The Niten Ichiryu unfolded and killed the monsters that pounced on humans. Then Musashi saw someone crying on the monsters. These monsters were twisted by humans.
"Now is not the time to hesitate. They are already beyond saving." Muramasa saw the reluctance on Mashu and Ritsuka's faces, and immediately said loudly. Compared with Musashi, Fuma Kojiro, and these people who came out of the war, Mashu and Ritsuka were still a little immature.
"Understood, Mashu."
"It's Senior."
"It's you."
"Miss Xiaoyu, do you know where Princess Kiyohime is?"
Soon after, Musashi and Ritsuka met an acquaintance. This was a very beautiful woman who was helping to organize people to escape from the city. She was also very powerful, and ordinary monsters could not get close to her.
"I'm not sure, it should be in the Tuqi City. I just met the maid next to her. It seems that someone attacked there." Xiaoyu pointed to the inner city in the center and said so.
"Are you going there? It's better not to. All humans who approach there have been turned into monsters. Before, a warrior wanted to save the princess, but the result was." Although Xiaoyu didn't say the result, everyone present understood what she meant.
"Is that so, Xiaoyu, girl, there is something I need to trouble you with. I hope you can help take care of Afeng and the others. We need to go there. Only by going there can we stop them." Hearing Xiaoyu say this, Musashi immediately spoke to Xiaoyu. She was not afraid of this curse, but Afeng's brother and sister were different.
"Okay, be careful and remember to come back. I won't take care of them for long."
"Don't worry, we will be back soon."
"Hello, Sister Xiaoyu."
"Ah Feng, be good, come with me and leave here first."
