Victor sighed.
He had to find it himself.
Can't delay any longer.
Because Ahad has been alarmed, even if he finds the scabbard in the future, he will definitely go to the Magician's Association first. By then, it will be extremely difficult for him to get the scabbard again.
So, we can't wait.
Victor frowned, thinking.
On the contrary, in order for the future Holy Grail War to proceed smoothly and not change too much, Ahad must not die. If Ahad does not die, the word "scabbard" will inevitably be revealed to the ears of the Church and the Magic Association. If Ahad already has the scabbard or Cornwall...
Tsk, that was sloppy.
Should have investigated first.
On the side, looking at Victor who was lost in thought, Altluchi had to remind him: "Hey, White Knight."
"Don't forget, the purpose of this time is not just to get what you want."
"I know."
Hearing this, Victor said helplessly: "Then this time, does it count as my working for you in vain?"
This invasion was to trigger an undercurrent of unrest throughout Germany.
It's not difficult.
After thinking for a while, he simply pointed at Ahad and the castle behind him and said softly: "Then go ahead, children, I command you in the name of the White Knight--"
"Destruction, slaughter—"
Tell the world at all costs.
The threat from the Dead Apostles.
The threat from Lord White Wing.
From... the new eighth ancestor...
Threat.
After saying that, Victor lowered his eyes and raised his hand, and thick fog began to spread. The dead disciples behind him could no longer hold back their brutal impulses under the blood moon.
After hearing the order, they rushed forward like a tide and rushed towards the opposing army of androids!
The black ghost and its countless blood-red claws were like blooming flowers, blossoming inside the white castle.
The cold wind gently blew the fallen leaves, and the swaying shadows were like ghosts wailing. In this gloomy night, thunder flashed and dark clouds gathered, and the wind pressure in the whole city became low because of this.
Victor floated up gently, suspended in mid-air, watching the dead apostles fighting with the androids. Parts were broken, blood was gushing out, and there were fragments of limbs and blood everywhere.
Suddenly, he looked at the earth dyed red and calmly mobilized his magic power.
As the blood surged, drops of water began to fall, washing the earth while mixing with the blood... Just like rain, and then, the rain became faster and heavier - boom!
There was a flash of lightning, and in the pouring rain, a blood-red torrent suddenly roared up, turning into a torrent that swept to people's feet, flowing as fast as a river.
This torrent! As Victor lowered his eyes, he coldly raised his arm with magic circuits flashing, and his palm shining with magic suddenly clenched!
"Boom!"
The entire torrent suddenly turned into layer upon layer of ocean curtains, making a deafening sound of overwhelming waves, engulfing and strangling the androids who had no time to escape and hide, and slowly gathered together to form a huge blood-red flower bud. Its bottom flowed like a river of blood, and its petals were like upright water surfaces, with beautiful ripples appearing from time to time as raindrops fell.
However... seeing this scene, Ahad couldn't help but shrink his pupils, and frantically ordered all the androids to retreat immediately and retreat into the castle for defense...
"call."
Victor exhaled softly.
The surge of magic power in his body and the counterattack of the Holy Wedge made him feel a little uncomfortable.
But this is...
This is the power of Water Magic Lv7.
By bringing the characteristics of [Fluid] to the extreme, at only level seven, relying on a huge amount of magic power, he can actually control the flow of water without any preparation...
Level seven is already so powerful, what about level eight?
Able to directly cast simple ritual spells?
Victor looked at his Lv5 Earth Magic and fell into deep thought. The family system that he was so proud of was only at Level , but he was not bragging. In his memory, his Earth Magic was indeed the best among all his peers. In fact, when he was young, he was once called a genius. According to his impression, his magic skills, even if he entered the Clock Tower, among the students, even if he could not be called a genius, he would definitely be among the top.
There is something wrong with my impression...
Or is it that the skill level of this system is not set according to the modern magic base?
But it is true that, if you want to say how strong it is, it is not that strong.
After all, Victor knew in his heart that although his magic looked grand and magnificent, its essence was nothing more than the simplest manipulation of fluids.
Apart from reaching the pinnacle in magic output and control, other aspects have not been reflected at all.
Especially the most important "twist".
In other words, the essence of this move is to use "magic" as a tool, simply to create weapons and kill the enemy, but it fails to achieve the most fundamental "miracle".
However, it is difficult to achieve this even with the simplest fluids.
The next second, Victor looked at the androids who were shrinking and retreating urgently, and shook his head slowly.
The blood-colored flowers began to bloom, and tens of thousands of blood needles formed a real blood-colored storm that instantly swept across the entire void!
This magic has a second stage.
It pierced through the castle, corroded the magic circle, ravaged all the androids and dead apostles, and swept the blood to every corner of the castle, dyeing every part of the barrier... red.
In the forest, the drizzling rain was vibrated and spread by the huge energy fluctuations. After falling again mixed with the dirty blood of the dead apostles, the Black Knight silently used black flames to condense a piece of energy that could instantly evaporate any liquid, and gently blocked it over Altluchi's head like an umbrella.
But Hei Ji just held her face quietly, her scarlet eyes quietly staring at the blooming blood-colored flower, her eyes flickering with an unknown gleam, and she whispered: "His magic talent is really strong, especially after combining with blood, maybe he himself has not discovered it."
"When his magic absorbed the blood, it naturally underwent some qualitative changes."
"His principle... is really curious."
The principles of a magus-turned-Dead Apostle are basically things that they already possessed or desired when they were magus.
Then the problem is coming.
Anyone can see that Victor's principle must be related to blood, whether it is the increase in magic power or the ability to condense weapons with his own blood.
So, Victor is a magician.
Why is the principle... "blood"?
What an evil, yet beautiful principle.
Altluchi thought that even among the Dead Apostles who were most thirsty for blood, few could truly control blood.
"Isn't it beautiful? Both the principle and the magic itself."
"I don't think that simply looking good is of any use." The Black Knight was somewhat confused and silent for a while before saying, "Although I am not bad at large-scale magic, I also know that such a gorgeous performance also requires a certain amount of magic power to be wasted."
"You don't understand." Hearing this, Hei Ji suddenly chuckled: "What you think is unnecessary is just the requirement others place on themselves when they pursue perfection. Pursuing perfection is never a mistake, and beauty cannot be evil."
"This is……"
"He refuted my original words." Heiji lowered her eyes and chuckled, "It's very interesting, isn't it?"
……
The bloody rain slowly stopped, Victor frowned slightly, and then fell on the land that was completely stained with blood and riddled with holes.
There were corpses and body parts everywhere. In the ruins of the ancient castle and under the broken towering trees, there was still a small number of relatively strong undead apostles who barely withstood the horrific storm. They were huddled together, looking at the demon king who had landed on the ground with horror, and they gathered behind him tremblingly but with a bit of fanatical worship.
Ahad, who only had time to activate part of the barrier in the castle to block part of the power, turned completely pale. After seeing Victor land, he raised his hand tremblingly, his face angry but also a little frightened, and asked: "What do you want?!"
Victor's move to clear the field not only demonstrated the power of his full-strength attack, but most importantly, it directly wiped out his numerical advantage.
This is also the reason why Victor released it without hesitation even though he knew that this move did not distinguish between friend and foe.
Although there are a small number of Dead Apostles with decent strength due to their uneven quality, there are also real cannon fodder who are 55- against ordinary androids. Even if the two sides are at odds, from Victor's absolute rationality when fighting, those Dead Apostles who can be killed by the aftermath of his battle will be replaced by androids in smaller numbers even if they are not cleared out by his own magic - and this way, the Dead Apostles will only be at a disadvantage.
Because there are only a few hundred Dead Apostles, and that old man is still shamelessly making androids!!
The entire Einzbern Castle is like Ahad's magic workshop, and under his control, the most terrifying thing about this magic workshop is not that it is full of traps like other magicians, but it is a huge arsenal that can continuously produce artificial humans to replenish troops!
So, Victor simply unleashed his most powerful attack so far, violently clearing the field.
Cannon fodder and the like can just fulfill their duties and die.
Only leave for me the high-quality elite units that can withstand his attack!
High-level combat androids require more sophisticated magic circuits and various adjustments, so they cannot be manufactured on a large scale in a short period of time.
Ahad will only awaken and use this kind of artificial human when things are extremely critical.
He glanced at Heiji who was still watching the show and shook his head slightly.
Can you be kind to the Dead Apostles?
certainly not.
His kindness is only directed towards people he thinks should be treated kindly.
As for these cannon fodders, to be honest, he knew exactly what kind of people they were.
And he was kind to the other party before only because he didn't care.
Yes, the Lord doesn’t care.
On the other hand, Victor's performance was like a heroic unit suddenly appearing among the minions, which almost destroyed Ahad's morale.
As a being similar to a humanoid terminal, although his combat power is decent, most of it is in the composition of magic positions, the research of the Greater Holy Grail and androids. To put it bluntly, he is just a summoner, the kind that can only produce a large number of soldiers. His direct combat ability is not even comparable to that of a first-rate magician, let alone fighting against an existence at the level of the Twenty-Seventh Ancestor of the Dead Apostles.
For this reason, Ahad asked, "What do you want?"
This means that he intends to give up resistance completely and just want to save his life.
This was not what Victor expected. After all, the other party's mission had only one core program, which was to survive and complete the third method.
However, after completely defeating the opponent, Victor suddenly began to lose focus again -
In the original work, one of the reasons why Kiritsugu Emiya was unable to contact Illya, which led to the tragedy, was precisely this old man. So although this family as a whole is the family of several famous characters, Victor actually doesn't have any good feelings towards it due to the influence of his previous life.
Well...if you want the Church and the Magic Association to take the threat of the Dead Apostles seriously and make up their minds to eradicate evil and fight against the White Wing Prince, then you have to hurt them. And if you really make the Einzbern family suffer, it will also prevent them from paying attention to Cornwall in the short term, and once again ensure that the Einzbern family will have to rely on outsiders during the Holy Grail War.
In short, as long as Ahad is alive, no matter how miserable Einzbern is, it will not be bad for him?
However, running out of magic power is also a problem.
There is no need to waste an upgrade opportunity to fight against such a useless force.
So, facing the other party's bitter questioning, Victor tilted his head, looked at him, and ignored him.
He glanced at the approximately one-third of his subordinates left behind him, and the fact that the other side only had a few dozen androids left. After confirming that even if the other side created more powerful androids, they would not be able to cause trouble to his subordinates, he thought for a while, and slowly walked towards Hei Ji, who was standing on a tree branch in the distance and looking at him from afar.
"I think that's enough."
"Your Highness."
Chapter 44, Limited Card Pool
"But you haven't found the scabbard yet, have you?"
Altluchi raised her eyes and glanced at Victor in surprise: "They are just artificial people. You don't have to be too sympathetic. Besides, if they are hiding something, I won't say anything even if you raze this place to the ground."
"...Your Highness often complains that I have a wrong impression of you, but on the other hand, I sometimes feel that Your Highness's impression of me is also... sometimes quite impressionistic."
Victor raised his head and said helplessly: "I am not sympathetic, Your Highness, it's just that in this matter, the other party has no need to lie to me."
"After all, it is indeed... just an ordinary scabbard."
"Well..." Artluqi lowered her eyes slightly and glanced at Victor: "Okay."
"If it was just to cause confusion, it would be enough."
"Then we should retreat." Victor said solemnly, "The large-scale actions of the Dead Apostles cannot stop the Church. They should have taken action by now."
"So I think you should leave some gifts for them." Altluqi suddenly said.
"Ok?"
"If it's just an unusual movement, it won't alert too many church members. They will usually send one or two agents to investigate first."
