Stray Chapter 64: The lost are all gamblers

Xia Ran doesn't really want to take risks. After all, he also knows that it is better to destroy the "hole" directly than destroy the Holy Grail.

However, the problem is that Xia Ran originally wanted to let Arturia liberate the holy sword and try to destroy "Kong" directly based on her own knowledge of the plot information.

After all, if it doesn't succeed, it's just wasting one Command Spell and using another later-

Anyway, he hasn't used Command Spells much, and he's about to leave this mission world right now. It's useless to keep these things, and he can't expect to wait until the next time he returns to this world to participate in the Holy Grail War, The number of Command Spells can be stacked according to the records.

However, even with this thought in mind, he was unable to discover the existence of "holes". Only after the release of the holy sword, the Holy Grail, which stabilized the magic channel, was destroyed with a single blow. Really exposed...

The black vortex is like a dark sun, with an unfathomable darkness inside, the density seems to crush everything.

So, this is really a joke.

Some people may not understand this, but to put it another way, the Holy Grail, as a stabilizing device, is like a nail that pierces the world and creates a hole...because the world has the function of self-healing, as Stabilize the device, the nails are going to stay there.

The hole can only be seen if the nail is first removed. If the nail is not removed, the hole itself will not be exposed, although it does exist, and because the nail is a stabilizing device that has been nailed, it cannot be automatically Fix...

But if you think about it, it's actually true. In the original plot, whether it was Arturia or Gilgamesh, fighting in front of the stage of the Music Hall, neither was able to find the Holy Grail's strangeness, nor did they see it. What "hole".

In terms of eyesight at the level of a heroic spirit, this is a very unreasonable thing. Even if there is no conventional skill of "clairvoyance", it is possible to recognize the whole town by looking at it from a high place. Search for the enemy and conduct precise sniping at high-speed moving targets within a range of thousands of meters.

But it doesn't mean that without this skill, heroic spirits can't even reach the perception ability of ordinary people, and everything in the same hall will be ignored, even if the straight-line distance is only a hundred meters to death. look.

The only explanation is that the "hole" was not exposed at all until the Holy Grail, which was the stabilizing device, was destroyed.

And if you think about it carefully, Emiya Kiritsugu himself ordered saber to release the holy sword and destroy the holy grail with one blow, and then he saw the dark sun appearing above the splintered public hall, and then began to regret it. I made the wrong decision-

He felt that instead of letting Saber destroy the Holy Grail, he should directly destroy the "hole"... However, before ordering Saber to release the Holy Sword, he did not discover the "piercing" in the real world at all.

It now seems that these plot information is of little significance at all, or it is only misleading, which makes Xia Ran smile bitterly after reacting.

It's inexplicable. If the "piercing" phenomenon can be seen before the Holy Grail is destroyed, then one living person and two heroic spirits will not become deaf and blind at the same time. The fact is that before the Holy Grail is destroyed It is simply impossible to solve the "piercing" problem first.

The most important thing is that only the Holy Grail itself is a tangible thing in the world of material phenomena, and the "perforation" of the world is a conceptual phenomenon created by it, not even a space fault. Nature, one step or half step to the root is not so easy.

Otherwise, the Yusan family would not have been pursuing their goals for hundreds of years without being able to successfully achieve their goals—

It is also a question whether the full blow of the holy sword can directly destroy the "Kong" after the liberation of the holy sword. Xia Ran has a completely different judgment from Mr. Emiya Kiritsugu, who is a half-baked magician, and has mastered more magic ways. He who is knowledgeable thinks that this is very likely to be impossible.

In fact, in the original plot, Emiya Kiritsugu's choice was not wrong. Although the Holy Grail was destroyed, the "hole" was completely exposed, and the black mud was vented frantically, almost destroying most of Fuyuki City. the new capital.

But without the maintenance of the Holy Grail, that "hole" will always be closed over time under the corrective power of the world; and if the Holy Grail is maintained all the time, even if the flow of black mud is restricted However, it has been able to seep into this world...

However, the situation that Xia Ran is facing now is different. It seems that the black mud has flowed down like a waterfall from the very beginning. I don't know if it is because of Gilgamesh... Maybe it is possible if you think about it? After all, it is said that the soul quality of that guy is comparable to that of hundreds of thousands of people...

Anyway, since it was such a bad situation from the beginning, he wouldn't mind destroying the Holy Grail directly, after all, there was no other better choice.

As for his own decisions and actions, it is his hope that the level of the magic knife itself is a legendary weapon, an extension of the law of the power and symbolism of the magic god, and may have a negative impact on conceptual phenomena. Can be effective, as long as there is a specific goal.

If it doesn't work, there is also the effect of "energy absorption" - the description of the equipment attributes is mainly a general description, and will not tell the lost person in detail what targets are absolutely effective and what targets are absolutely ineffective.

Even attributes such as attack power, durability, and effect probability have not been strictly digitized. It is stipulated that how much damage a knife does is how much damage is done. It is so much to use all your strength, and it is so much to touch it lightly...

Therefore, the concept of victims targeted by the energy-absorbing effect of the Ebony Blade is actually not limited to living creatures with flesh and blood. As long as the target of the magic knife is naturally a victim.

And the most important point is that the black mud itself is not only pure energy, but also the magic power of the curse. It can also be regarded as a specific attackable target of Angora Mainu, because Angora Mainu itself is a Nothing, it is the black mud inside the Great Holy Grail.

When it bewitched Emiya Kiritsugu, it used the form of Irisviel, and said that it would not be able to communicate with others without borrowing a "body" that already had a personality, claiming that "no one is. someone".

So, based on these various reasons, Xia Ran judged that the overall concept of black mud can be judged as the victim of the magic knife, and its own existence is pure cursed magic, and it is also the essence of this unique victim ...

I just don't know how much energy I can extract from it, maybe I can get 5 or 10 more free attribute points? Well, maybe this expectation is a bit too low, even if it can't be as ferocious as the one-step demigod ruthless man in the previous world, it shouldn't set the target so low...

Considering that Angola Manuel bewitched Emiya Kiritsugu and made him wish for a distorted world peace, it can be believed that this is a huge source of magic power that can kill all human beings in the current era on this planet...

Even if it only leaks some energy, it is probably enough for Xia Ran to make a fortune.

It's a bit of an adventure, but who's lost isn't a natural gambler? This method of carding time to obtain greater benefits is the method used by all lost people, almost without exception.

Xia Ran also felt that she was going to return anyway, even if there was a real danger, it would not be fatal——

Gilgamesh was not digested by the black mud, and even if he was involved, he couldn't do such a thing, at least he could last for a while, right? As long as he doesn't take fatal damage before returning, there's no problem at all.

And he is quite sure about this matter.

……

……

There was no obstacle, no specific enemy, just a silent piercing, and the ebony blade instantly pierced through the dark magic vortex.

The next moment, the dark sun in the sky turned into a terrifying vortex.

Originally, it flowed down from the Fuyuki Civic Hall like a waterfall. It was like a turbulent wave of black mud, which not only engulfed the music auditorium, auditorium and the entire hall on the first floor, but also passed through the doors and windowsills and other buildings. The exit roared out, turning into a turbulent countercurrent.

From a distance, the scene is very shocking. It is probably the cursed waterfall that falls from the sky without stopping. The black mud turns into a river through the entrance of the guild hall and pours out of the building. The desolate streets spread to the surrounding blocks.

Although Kotomine Kirei used the power of the church to evacuate the residents around the Minhui Hall in advance, the black mud that smelled the life of the people would not stop because of this short distance.

The turbulent black countercurrent turned into a scorching curse, and wherever it passed, the flames of purgatory were raging, and both organic and inorganic substances burned violently at the moment of contact.

After waiting for sixty years inside the Great Holy Grail, it seems to be celebrating this short-lived release, ready to mercilessly deprive it of all the lives it can get in the future, and even Xue Ye seems to be held by a grand The fire of the red lotus was rendered red.

However, it seems that time suddenly stopped for a split second.

The next moment, the turbulent black mud flow seemed to be dragged by some invisible force, and the abruptly original path was dragged back, and the black vortex in the sky seemed to be suddenly given a great pulling force, that scene It's like turning back time.

Saber couldn't figure out what was going on. She tried hard to see what was happening in the sky, but was horrified to find that the dark sun seemed to have really become a black hole, and the light within the suction range was also There is no escape.

She can almost only pass through the edge of the outline, barely able to "contrast" a pure black and dull void. As for what is going on there, she cannot perceive it at all.

The only thing that is certain is that the dark curse is no longer dripping from the sky, and it is even being devoured frantically by some terrifying force along the connection——

Even the malicious substantive magic power that had flowed out and turned into a turbulent mud flow that fell to the ground was not able to escape the swallowing, but was forcibly dragged back along the connection...

Saber felt terrified when he saw this scene, and he didn't dare to imagine what the magician did. Could this method really work?
