Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Kenneth: "Although I had guessed it before, I didn't expect this woman to carry that monster with her at all times."

Sora: "What monster?"

Kenneth: "I don't know, I only know that this woman obtained some kind of mysterious creature."

"I've reflected on my past experiences of being caught off guard, and I'm putting them here now..."

Aozaki Touko murmured, "Oh, don't worry, I set it to only retaliate. As long as you don't get involved, it shouldn't attack anyone other than the perpetrator, Mio."

"Your Excellency El-Melloi II, I will come to collect the cigarettes later."

"Crack!"

In an instant, Aozaki Touko's abdomen shattered, peeling away like material for a sculpture.

The wound that split open on its inner side resembled some kind of "door," with pitch-black darkness on the other side.

[It's not even an end; it's a bottomless hell with no end in sight.]

Rin Tohsaka: "Ah! What's that!"

Weber: "Is the leather bag just a cover? It's actually hidden inside the body."

Kenneth: "That's with crazy women."

[Second Generation: "Madman..."]

He had also heard of what was about to appear. It was a nameless monster, known only from records as having been in Aozaki Touko's possession since ancient times. No one had ever discovered its true form, and perhaps even Aozaki Touko herself didn't know the truth about the monster.

The only record of this monster is that it is immortal.

【"Click-clack..."】

Two beams of light shone from the depths of darkness, a place no magic could reach.

Those are two eyes!

Chapter 194 - Joint Force

【"ah!!!"】

Upon witnessing this scene, the crowd gasped in various astonishment.

【"Whoosh..."】

The shadow instantly shattered everything Aozaki Touko had seen; its thorny tentacles extended with astonishing speed, their ominous claws aimed directly at the Yakushi who sought to harm his master.

Regina: "Mao!!!"

"Ugh..."

Upon hearing Regina's shout, Mai's throat only trembled slightly.

He had no chance of escape; his body was captured in the blink of an eye, and his tentacles were dragged into the "door," where they were chewed by thousands of jaws.

It's all over.

Lion Robber Jie Li: "This monster seems to freeze the consciousness of anyone who sees it."

Kotomine Shiro: "What exactly is this? It's a creature that has never appeared before."

Webber: "It's a bit like Bluebeard's sea monster, probably a similar creature."

Empress: "This woman is quite capable to be able to obtain such a creature."

"Hey, Grey."

Just then, a loud shout from the Second Prince snapped Gray out of her daze.

[Grey: "Master, I..."]

In that instant, Gray noticed that Aozaki Touko's shattering eyes were finally gazing at her.

It was as if she was smiling at me, a smile that felt like a gentle push on my back, telling me to do what I wanted and live the way I wanted.

This was the most liberated person she had ever met, and the one who gave her this assurance.

[“Ahhhh!!!”]

At that moment, without the Second King's order, Grey acted on her own.

She wielded the great scythe that Yard had transformed into, pouring all her magic into it, and forcefully severed the monster's thorny tentacles.

Although Maio had lost part of his leg after being dragged back, he survived.

"Mao!"

Regina and the Silver Princess rushed over.

Even after hearing Meo say they should dedicate themselves to magic, their feelings didn't seem to have disappeared.

Koles: "They actually saved him? I thought he was dead."

Fiore: "Actually, it might be better for this guy to be dead."

Danic: "Yes."

[Venerable II: "Grey!"]

"...I'm sorry, Master."

[Grey severed the thorny tentacles that were about to bind Mio again, and apologized to the Second King.]

【"well..."】

The Second Prince nodded helplessly, staring intently at the space that had lost its original shape and now looked like a blurry "box."

"There seems to be no way to intervene, but the time and scope of its intervention also appear to be limited."

"I see, it's a perfect match for horror movies. Vampires are loved precisely because they are invincible only at night, and zombies evoke fear because they can't speak normally. This result really suits her style."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "It can even interfere with time. What kind of monster is this?"

Danic: "It should be said that it truly lives up to its reputation as an undocumented creature."

"Sphinx, how many can you take down?"

[Sfin: "Seventy percent sure."]

[Second Generation: "Please."]

[Flatter: "Wait, teacher, aren't you going to ask me?"]

[Sfin: "Shut up, all you've done is suffer a complete concussion and pass out."]

[Flatter: "No, you see, underestimating a concussion is dangerous. It's a tragedy if it starts snoring! Ah, but seeing things like dying experiences or past lives is pretty good, isn't it, teacher?"]

[Second King: "Sphinx, fight off the tentacles with Gray."]

[Sphinx: "Yes, teacher!"]

[Second King: "Flat, use the spell to fix that space."]

[Flatter: "I understand, teacher!"]

[Second King: "Reines will support everyone."]

Reines: "Yes, yes, I knew you'd say that."

[Second King: "Lord Baruyeleta, Mik Glagiriye, we need to push it back. Can we entrust Lord Byron and Princess Silver to you?"]

[Inolai: "Well, after all, it's our own faction."]

[Mick: "Since it's the client's request, there's nothing we can do about it."]

The Second Prince looked at Atram and said, "I thought you were going to make a quick getaway."

Atram: "Of course I've been thinking about that, but this is a rare opportunity. Let me see what you're capable of."

[Second Generation: "I want to charge an admission fee."]

Atram: "You can take it however you want."

[Venerable II: "Grey."]

[Grey: "Yes!"]

【"well done."】

The Second Lord said slowly, "I've said I'd handle this case. Handing the murderer over to that monster would be a disgrace to El-Melloi. We'll be the ones to finish this."

Shizi Jieli: "As expected of a monarch, you have prepared countermeasures so quickly."

Kenneth: "Hmph, not bad, you know to protect El-Melloi's face."

Sora: "But this monster is immortal, how do we defeat it?"

Kenneth: "There's no need to eliminate them."

Sora: "???"

"They'll be here soon."

Thorny tentacles emerged from within the dark "box" and attacked Gray.

Grey charged forward, wielding her scythe, and engaged the monster's tentacles in a fierce battle.

[Sfin also joined the battle, using the immense power of his beast-transformation magic to continuously tear off the attacking tentacles.]
