Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

91. Fujimaru Ritsuka Strategy Battle

[Information currently available to the public]

The Holy Church also uses magic, but they are generally called 'mysteries', just as angels are actually elves in essence. Apart from the name, there is no difference in essence from magic.

In other words, it is something used to fool believers.

It may have been initially to differentiate itself from the magicians, but as a result, in addition to using the secret ritual as an auxiliary, the Holy Church has been using 'technology' to fight against the magicians since ancient times.

The most novel technology in the past was called "martial arts", and after modern times it was called "firearms". When time comes to the modern era, it is a combination of both, with the help of secret rituals.

Until modern times, the church has been working tirelessly to improve its scientific and technological level.

According to Elf Haidee, she is now plagued by huge questions.

"I was called to this singularity world very early on. At that time, the lies of fairy tales had not yet eroded reality. 'Lady Bertha' used her power to turn the entire London into the land of the dead. Young magicians with faith A resistance group called the 'Knights of Londinion' was formed."

——This is really incredible information

In fact, Chaldea's internal organization has long discussed that they believe that the current situation in the 'fairy tale world' is not what this singularity originally looked like.

This kind of chaos of various two-dimensional characters is absolutely abnormal. Because there is no information about the "normal London Singularity" before this, Da Vinci and Kong Ming can only speculate on the reason why the shady people are like this. , in order to take advantage of Lu Mingfei's hidden special properties and steal Lu Mingfei's - or the little devil Lu Mingze's - power for his own use.

In fact, Demon God Barbatos did take advantage of Lu Mingfei and obtained a dramatic increase in combat effectiveness.

Originally, most demon gods should be auxiliary types who are not good at fighting. They have huge spiritual bases and can only perform some simple 'energy bombardment' type attacks.

Even action is difficult. Roman and Leonardo da Vinci have retrieved information in the past. It is said that King Solomon, who created the seventy-two demon gods, also considered the situation of the demon gods rioting and the omnic crisis, so in addition to their respective abilities, they also gave the demon gods They have all kinds of restrictions.

For example, "The devil as a familiar cannot exert its full capabilities without a master."

Another example is "The body shape of the demon is a huge and bloated pillar of flesh. It has almost no ability to move. Most of the time it is just a wooden stake."

There is also "If you want to relieve the restrictions of the bloated cylindrical body, you must parasitize in the body of another life, but after parasitism, the personality of the demon will be affected by the host." - For example, the demon killed an arrogant person After a warrior acquires the opponent's body through parasitism, the devil's own consciousness, personality, and personality will be affected by the original owner.

Mozart is a typical example. Instead of harming anyone, the demon parasitic in his blood resonated with him and fell in love with music together. As for destroying the world, he paid no attention to it.

For another example, the demons killed a knight who loyally protected the princess, and chose to inhabit the corpse in order to gain the knight's combat experience. However, when the demons stood up again, their character was overwritten by the knight, and they continued to protect the princess as a knight. Giving up the original job may even make people who don't know the reason mistakenly think that the dead knight has been resurrected in place.

Objectively speaking, demon gods are surprisingly useless as weapons.

Of course. Roman also said this: They were not originally manufactured as weapons, but as auxiliary equipment to maintain the normal operation of human history. They are similar in nature to the auxiliary robotic arms in a mechanized production workshop.

——With the exception of the Four Supreme Pillars, most other demon gods are like this.

However, Barbatos apparently circumvented this design flaw by using Lu Mingfei's (Lu Mingze) fantasy materialization ability to get a Gundam body that could be used for combat through a seemingly buggy method.

Preparing for the worst, Barbatos has completely overcome the limitations of the various flaws deliberately left behind in the original design of the Solomon-type demon god, and has even gained power far beyond the theoretical limit of the design - becoming a super demon god comparable to the four supreme pillars.

Because Lu Mingfei's impression of Gundam Barbatos comes from "Iron-Blooded Orphans", and there are other machines named after demon gods in this animation, including one corresponding to the head of the Four Supreme Pillars. Baal (Bayeli), because Barbatos is the protagonist in the story, Lu Mingfei naturally feels that Barbatos will not lose to Baal.

The demon god Barbatos will also benefit from this.

In any case, since Barbatos will definitely be the final enemy, it is definitely beneficial to understand it and what it went through before that - that is, the real situation before the London singularity was covered by the 'fairy tale world'.

In Haidee's narration of memories, she focused on praising the heroic performance of the resistance organization "Knights of Londinion". They are a magic group composed of young people. They are different from most traditional magicians who decisively defect to the Demon God's side. , although they are young, they have passion that is not inferior to anyone else.

In order to distinguish themselves from the traditional magicians who betrayed the history of mankind, they call themselves "knights".

In the early stages of the battle, the young knights relied on their flexible use of firearms and various mechanical equipment to even gain the upper hand in the battle with the magicians who had rebelled against the Demon God. They once recaptured the clock tower headquarters and used most of the The knowledge contained in libraries builds a powerful position.

"I also want to help them, even if they are not stargazers who specialize in dealing with singularities, but it is a pity that even if they are as brave as them, they are not qualified to use the 'Secret Treasure', so I can only wait for stargazers. When the attackers arrive, they hide themselves and secretly guide them.”

In addition, the clergy of the Holy Church are also resisting, and I am from the church side. Haidee said so.

It would be better to say that the church is facing the real main battlefield. What the young knights and girl knights face are more of the traitors among the magicians.

"The most difficult and powerful magician among the traitors was named 'Maqiri Zolgen', but his actions were quite slow, so the knights' resistance was relatively successful until there were four real legendary 'knights' Appear."

The look on Haidee's face turned serious as she recalled:

"'Knight of the Lake' Lancelot, 'Knight of the Sun' Gawain, 'Worry Knight' Tristan, and 'The Palm' Gareth, the four were originally the real Knights of the Round Table, in the form of 'Knights of the Undead' Summoned by Lady Bertha from the land of the dead, the battle instantly turned into a one-sided massacre. If it weren't for the characteristics of the chain summons, the 'Rebel Knight' Mordred would have been summoned by this land. Will they all be annihilated on the spot?"

Unlike the Undead Knights, Mordred was summoned as a Heroic Spirit Servant, with enhancements and corrections of various skills and Noble Phantasms given by the Heroic Soul Throne. The Undead Knights are just spiritual bases with no previous combat experience. , so Mordred used one against four to cover the retreat of the young knights. Although he was seriously injured, he was able to withdraw.

"But this battle completely shattered the power of the resistance. The main base of the resistance's 'Knights of Londinion' was completely destroyed. With the former Knights of the Round Table appearing as undead, relying on St. Paul's Cathedral, The Holy Cathedral Church, which was in a stalemate with Lady Bertha, the goddess of the undead (King of the Wild Hunt), had also reached its limit. At that time, the war situation had actually reached the point where the resistance forces would be annihilated one by one by the King of Singularity."

But at this time, variables appeared.

"In my memory, before St. Paul's Cathedral was about to be destroyed by the Goddess of the Dead, he desperately launched the summoning ritual, which is the secret ritual of summoning angels."

Although the troops affiliated with the church in St. Paul's Cathedral are not large in number, they are all elite - after all, London is the headquarters of the Magician Association, the enemy of the church, and there is at least one angel-level combat agent stationed inside for a long time. Or, they are experts at dealing with magicians, Dead Apostles, and pagan gods.

Even so, it still seemed so powerless in the face of the overwhelming gap in combat effectiveness.

At the fall of St. Paul's Cathedral, the martyrs sacrificed themselves in an attempt to summon angels to come. It's unclear exactly what they wanted to summon, but they did summon something extraordinary.

Two girls, one of whom must be a Heroic Spirit Servant, wielding a huge cross shield of the Round Table, must also be a certain Knight of the Round Table.

But the real problem was another girl with an Oriental face. When she arrived, she was wearing a shabby gray and black priest's robe, and her whole body was entangled with an indescribable twisted aura. Along with it, there was also the devil's... It tastes like a devil from hell.

That's a 'curse'.

It is the embodiment of ‘evil’.

‘Mr. Beauty’ was the first undead knight to fall.

The shield girl restrained her, and then the Oriental girl, who was entangled in the curse, attacked from behind and tore her into pieces.

The main forces of the Templar Church and the Londinian Knights were wiped out, and they should have entered the annihilation stage. However, with the appearance of two girls, they fought guerrilla warfare with Lady Bertha while removing the scattered The knights of Londinion integrated with the warriors of the church, and they gradually gathered many wild heroic spirits in hiding, as well as legendary supernatural beings (famous detectives) active in this era.

After a series of battles, 'Worry Knight' Tristan became the second undead knight to fall in the process. Many evil spirits or demons that appeared due to chain summons were defeated. After gathering almost all the power, An Oriental girl with a curse all over her body and who didn't know where she came from - Haidee couldn't even confirm whether she was a heroic spirit or not - launched the final battle at the singularity in London.

The venue for the decisive battle between the two sides is the British Museum.

Mordred faced off against the Sun Knight Gawain, while the Shield Girl faced off against Lady Bertha's strongest sword - Lancelot, the 'Knight of the Lake'.

And she herself faced the Goddess of the Dead (King of the Wild Hunt) in person.

The real turning point of this battle was that the joint resistance forces successfully completed their planned combat goals.

It was a ballad, a ballad known to everyone in England at this time.

Ring it, sing it, curse it.

In the singing, in the beating of the drums.

There is a hero.

There is a demon.

A hero who belongs to England, a devil who belongs to England, and a legendary pirate. It is said that before he died, he asked his men to send the war drum that had accompanied him around the world back to England and told them:

"On the day after my death, if my motherland is in trouble, just beat this drum. Even in hell, I will hear the call! Put on the battle again and come back to defend England!"

It's a curse and an oath.

Among the forces of the resistance, there is a follower of Caster, but he is not a magician, but a playwright - the equally famous William Shakespeare.

Of course, as the most famous celebrity in England, he also appeared in the London Singularity as a Heroic Spirit Servant.

As a Servant, he is very weak.

But as a creator, as a writer, he is omnipotent in the stories he writes.

He turned the story into reality, hid it from all enemies, and successfully came to the British Museum - to the real Drake's Drum, which was placed as an exhibit.

Beat the war drum.

The sea devil returns from hell to fulfill his promise and fight to protect England.

Facing the undead goddess who bears the title of 'King of the Wild Hunt'.

The rebels summoned their own - summoned England's unique 'King of the Wild Hunt'!

His name is Francis Drake!

The sea devil who shot down the sun!

Gawain, the Sun Knight, became the third fallen.

With the fall of Gawain, the appearance of another King of the Wild Hunt, Drake, tilted the battle situation. At this point, no matter how you look at it, the battle should be coming to an end.

This is obviously how it should be.

The battle to capture the London Singularity should obviously end here.

but--

"I don't know exactly what happened at that time. I just remember that at the place of decisive battle, the demon god Barbatos suddenly appeared. However, it was obvious that everything was not over. The fairy tale world came with it, covering the entire singularity into what it is now. In the same way, the Oriental girl also disappeared without a trace. Everyone's memories were covered and trapped in this illusory world like a dream. But because of my specialness, I still maintained memory."

Haidee's memories basically end here.

"I just watched from the sidelines from beginning to end and did not participate. The reason why I did this was not only because there was no one qualified to use my (secret treasure) power, but also because I was the one who led the resistance almost to victory. Next to the cursed and malicious Asian girl, I saw the fake Earl and another fake 'Haidee (me)'."

At this moment, Haidee suddenly looked at Eri Yi, who was following behind with a camera.

"By the way, that Asian girl looks about 70% similar to you, but she has short hair and a side ponytail."

Lu Mingfei and Hui Liyi looked at each other.

What kind of Asian girl is full of curses and malice? From Haidee’s description from beginning to end, aren’t they none other than Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu! ?

It turns out that Sakura Girl and Matthew had almost cleared the London Singularity long before Lu Mingfei and others arrived, right?

But why doesn't this end?

No, let's forget about it for now. There is something in Haidee's confusion that Lu Mingfei can't understand.

"Why are you wary of the fake Earl and Haidee next to the little bitch? That Oriental girl? Doesn't it mean that they were summoned as heroic spirit servants?" Lu Mingfei expressed his opinion, also from Chaldea. That's what most people think.

"No! If it is a heroic spirit, I will definitely recognize it! But they are wrong! It is definitely not the Earl, and it is definitely not 'Haidee'! It is even less likely to be a 'heroic spirit servant'! It is some kind of 'demon' that was artificially created ' or 'curse'! They don't have a 'secret treasure' on them, but they can exert the same power as the secret treasure, but they can't 'shatter fate'. It's too dangerous and too abnormal, so I never came out, but Waiting for the arrival of the real stargazers. Now, they are all missing, but this singularity continues in this strange posture.

Why do you think this is? "

Is this the 'investigation' commission that Haide requested from Chaldea?

What happened in the missing middle between the previous singularity in London and the current fairy tale world?

Sakura girl, where are you now?
