Chapter 155 Broken! Physical bullets cannot hit the heroic spirit

Chapter 155 Broken! Physical bullets cannot hit the heroic spirit
If we use more appropriate gaming skills to describe the scene in front of us, then the sword light tornado that Emiya activated at this moment, which is the incarnation of his Noble Phantasm, can perhaps be understood as the "Bladestorm" ultimate move of the Orc Swordmaster in "Warcraft".

"Boom boom boom——!"

The flashing sword light roared like a storm, yet was sharp and deadly. It spun up to mid-air to defend against the falling buildings and swept away the obstacles. It was like a crusher that cut the originally deadly fragments into dark rain curtains that fell like dust and gravel.

However, among the people present, no one was a loyal player of Blizzard. At most, there were a few gangster bosses who were veteran pachinko masters or frequent casino customers... They could only wow in amazement at this power that surpassed the limits of individual mortals and affected the natural environment... while running for their lives frantically.

Otherwise, what else can I do if I don’t run?
Do you expect them to face the enemy directly with guns of this caliber and rely on their mortal bodies to sweep away a collapsed building with just a wave of their hands?

Even if the Eight Clans of Sheqi provided them with work-related injury insurance as part of their benefits, they would not risk their lives like this.

People had no idea what happened next. They only heard explosions and sharp cutting sounds, but they had to resist the urge to look back. They could only imagine the intensity of the battle through the shaking of the ground.

But it was just a superficial imagination. One nerve was always tightly stretched to keep them from thinking about anything else. In panic, they worried that if they looked back, they would lose hope of living.

Just as the biblical legend "Genesis" says, God sent down fire from heaven to destroy the sinful cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the righteous Lot and his family escaped from the city with the help of angels. The angels warned everyone not to look back. Only Lot's wife ignored the advice and looked back, and she turned into a pillar of salt that remained in the same place.

Aso really felt that her legs and feet were numb from running, but she still forced herself to keep running.

Just like the long-distance runner in the inspirational movie "Forrest Gump" she had seen, there was a spiritual will supporting her, saying, run, if you don't keep running you won't survive! In any case, doing this is better than being stupidly killed by flying debris.

She had secretly memorized Emiya's appearance in her heart. Although she didn't know who the other person was, with the interpersonal relationships she had gained through years of working, she could always get relevant information from her friends.

Compared to Asou Shin's obvious ignorance, the more diligent Musashi-gumi boss had guessed something. People like him who did not belong to the Snake Eight Families' headquarters generally did not have the authority to know too many secrets, but as the boss of a branch organization directly under him, he had heard that the main family had an "emperor" who had reproduced the noble bloodline in the legend.

The leader of the Musashi Group, who had no right to meet Gen Chisei, secretly guessed the identity of the savior, Emiya:
Could he... be the "Amaterasu" of the Snake Eight Clan?!

The leader of the Musashi Group didn't know what the so-called noble bloodline of the family was like, but the one who displayed extraordinary power far superior to that of ordinary mixed-bloods and saved civilians like a great hero destined by heaven in mythology must be Amaterasu, right?

----

Amidst the breath of wind pressure, mixed with the dancing sword lights, Shi Gong had no idea that a new group of people were imagining his identity.

At this moment, he is still... spinning at high speed.

Ushiwakamaru's move "Five Scenery Side Story◆Kimi Castle·Ice Pillar Slash" once appeared in the FGO event "Tenma Otogi Soshi", which is to spin himself at high speed like a top, increasing the cutting force and slicing efficiency to an incredible level, and split Ibaraki Douji's treasure in two.

Emiya had to concentrate highly, keeping his mind open and paying attention to controlling his direction while spinning. If he hadn't been so careful, he would have gone off the track while spinning.

Ping——!
At one point, the "Blade Storm" violently collided with the colorful long whip, but the soft and sharp Sword of the God of War broke away with one blow. Emiya then held on tightly and followed the direction of the long whip to attack Attila's body...

boom!
With a terrifying sharp glare and a tornado of sword blades, Emiya crashed into the position he judged based on his mind's eye. In just a moment, the fragile ground was directly penetrated, and the solid steel and concrete earthquake-resistant building was shattered, and his figure fell down along the huge pit.

Squeak, squeak——!
Although he was caught off guard by this move and had to dodge hastily, Attila still skillfully swung the Sword of the God of War to block the densely cutting swords, showing his extraordinary martial arts skills.

Unfortunately, the gauze robe she was wearing could not withstand the intensity of the battle and was still torn into pieces by the incessant howling wind.

"..."

After a while, the treasure that Emiya had activated finally showed signs of exhaustion. He stood up from the underground "common trench" (a sewer that integrates communication, electricity, water supply and drainage pipelines) and looked out through the huge cave that had been broken open. He saw Attila with her hair flying and one hand tightly covering her chest.

The clothes burst?
The brown-skinned girl glared at Emiya with a hint of annoyance, then turned and ran away, disappearing beside the cave.

Emiya hurriedly jumped onto the ground, looked around and searched for a long time, but could not find any trace of this Servant who suddenly appeared.

Instead, there was a buzzing sound in the sky above his head. Emiya looked up and saw that it was the iron wings of a helicopter. The rumbling noise produced by it cutting through the air and the vibration of the engine was truly amazing.

This UH-60JA attack helicopter was like a high-flying iron-gray eagle, flapping its huge main rotor and tail rotor to fly towards him, and lowering a rope ladder from the side to land precisely in front of him.

Emiya saw a familiar face above and waved. It was Sakura Yabuki, the assistant of Gen Chisei.

----

Xia Mi regained consciousness in the big cave. She subconsciously touched her clothes and found that they were still intact. Only then did she let go of the tension on her face and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xia Mi first knocked twice on the rock wall of the cave beside her. A ferocious-looking sickle-weasel that looked like a bat flew down from above, lowered its head, and respectfully handed the portable camera in its claws to her.

Xia Mi looked through the battle record of Attila taken on the device and showed a satisfied look, but her beautiful eyebrows, which had just relaxed, began to frown again. She ignored Fenrir who was staring at the Holy Grail in boredom in the distance, and came to the fixed location to open Norton's space to create an alchemy array to "make a phone call."

"What's wrong? What happened this time? Let me guess. You must have been impatient to test 'Attila' before? I think there shouldn't be any problem with the vest I made for you. If there is no problem, please don't disturb my work."

"There isn't really a problem," Xia Mi paused, "but when I drive Atira, why do I have to connect my consciousness to her in order to move normally? Can't she move on her own?"

"? Why don't you listen to what you are saying? Didn't you ask me to create a pseudonym? You and your sister are the King of the Huns. If I create a conscious heroic spirit Attila, wouldn't it be a pirated copy of the King of the Huns?"

"But even if it's not pirated... this..."

"I know what you want to say. Regardless of whether it is pirated or not, you must realize that I created a vest for you out of thin air - an unconscious soul container, and borrowed the authority of the White King to a certain extent," Norton's technical explanation sounded as long and smelly as an old lady's foot binding.

"This approach is very detrimental to the stability of the seal of the White King's soul. If you are not careful, it will cause the other party to escape, not to mention the in-depth use of the White King's authority to create a conscious soul... If you are aware of the risks, just keep an eye on the Greater Holy Grail--" "No, what I mean is... since the risk is too great and it cannot be done, can you change this unnecessary 'consciousness link' operation method, such as simply letting me become Attila!"

Xia Mi's intention was obviously to summon the Servant Attila to herself. In this way, when she deployed the vest, she could directly transform into the Servant's posture, which was equivalent to changing the account and logging in on the spot, rather than logging in from a different place, which meant that she still needed Fenrir to watch her real body.

In fact, the situation that Xia Mi described belongs to "pseudo-Servant" in Type-Moon.

That is, the existence of the Servant depends on the living person. Zhuge Kongming, Sima Yi, Ishtar and others who appear in FGO all belong to this category, and the objects they possess respectively are Weber Velvet, Lanice El-Melloi Archizolti and Toosaka Rin.

“…This is not impossible, but there is no proven precedent.”

"Does it matter?"

Facing Xia Mi's question, Norton directly asked back:

"If you're in a hurry, why don't you serve as the test subject yourself? As long as you have enough trust in my skills, it's no problem. Anyway, this is the first test, and I can't guarantee the possibility of any accidents."

Xia Mi raised her hands high in a French military salute:
"…Then I won't do it! Let's first find an unlucky Master during the Holy Grail War to try out the feasibility of this model! If it works, I'll do it!"

Norton's tone remained unchanged, "And there is another problem. Once you choose to use the power of the Heroic Servant in this form," Norton on the other end of the communication suddenly thought of something, paused and warned, "you will lose the great advantage of 'spiritualization'."

"what?"

"When you were acting in the 'Attila' state, did you encounter any long-range sniping attacks from humans' thermal weapons?"

"Well, come to think of it, there was indeed one when I retreated, but I didn't feel any threat... Is this 'spiritualization' the 'hollow' state where I can pass through walls and burrow through the ground?"

Norton explained the secret of the Servant's spiritual structure:

"You can do this... after all, it's because the existence of a Servant is a form of soul."

"In other words, Heroic Servant is a special energy structure of 'spiritual elements' that has been processed by alchemy. Pure spiritual elements are higher in status than the four elements, and thus can make it possible to spiritualize without any physical interference."

The only spiritual element application method commonly recognized by the hybrids in the dragon world is the solid spiritual element extracted from dragon bones and blood - the Philosopher's Stone. This Philosopher's Stone is a deadly weapon that can effectively kill high-level dragons and even dragon kings. As for the other spiritual element applications... at most, they can add a few spiritual words.

Dragons that are more adept at alchemy can use spiritual elements at a more advanced level - extracting souls and implanting them into solid equipment to form "living weapons". This achievement is already quite incredible in the eyes of humans.

As for detaching from the object of attachment, processing the soul into a form that can exist independently is almost impossible to achieve with conventional thinking. It is only possible with the help of the spiritual elemental authority of the White King.

"And now, the possibility of spiritualization has been realized in the heroic spirit, which means..."

“In other words…?”

Norton held his forehead and said, "If you want to turn yourself into Attila, then it is impossible to transform into a spirit body, because you have a physical body. Once the experiment is feasible, it will become a physical body possessed by a spirit... You are actively giving up the spiritual body advantage of this vest."

----

"You mean you saw the enemy but didn't hit him?"

Emiya was pulled up into the noisy helicopter along the rope ladder by Yabuki Sakura and two other strong men, Crow and Yasha, and then they exchanged information with each other.

Crow at the side raised his voice and answered loudly - inside the helicopter with almost no noise reduction effect, everyone had to shout and yell - "We once used the M240 machine gun to shoot at the target who seemed to be injured, but the other party completely ignored it and disappeared directly on the spot."

"Of course that's not possible, because a Heroic Spirit is a spiritual being. Your method of purely physical interference is completely contrary to that."

"Heroic spirit?" Crow and Yaksha looked at each other, and both saw the deep doubt flashing in each other's eyes.

"…In simple terms, it is a type of necromancy that pulls out the souls of the dead and uses them as a tool. Because it is a spiritual phenomenon rather than an existence in the physical world, the heroic spirit has a chance to be immune to these purely physical attacks."

Emiya was still exhausted from releasing his Noble Phantasms several times. Now that he was in a safe environment and began to regulate his breath, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with the subordinates of the Minamoto family who were unaware of the situation, and explained concisely and clearly:
"The spirit-transforming ability of Heroic Spirits is based on this principle. They are the souls of the dead who can fight. The word Heroic Spirit also comes from the spirit of Odin in Norse mythology."

"...?"

The big-armed and small-minded Yaksha opened his eyes wide, revealing great doubts. His elementary school education level was not up to standard.

"Oh! I see!"

The crow on the side was thinking even faster. Rather than thinking about the Norse mythology, he thought more about the supernatural culture popular in Japan, especially those supernatural movie series that were well-known locally. For example, the vengeful spirits in the movies "The Ring" and "The Grudge" could not be eliminated with hot weapon bullets because the bullets would pass through the spirits.

Yasha looked back and glared at his old partner, Crow, who looked thoughtful, "You bespectacled beast! What do you know?"
"That's good to know. Go back and report to Yuan Zhisheng. Tell him that the attacking heroes are related to the demons. They are definitely coming for us."

Emiya remembered the masked man "King General" among the fierce demons that he had talked about with Ruri Kazama that day.

"The Holy Grail War...is about to begin."
