Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

But the scene before him was also weird enough.

The figure standing in the light was connected with his own shadow under the reflection of the light. Because the light source was behind the other person, the other person's shadow expanded all the way from under the other person's feet to his side, enveloping himself in it.

The water waves created by the black keys were distorting the other person's figure, as if the figure standing on the ground was a false existence like a mirage in the water.

And in fact, Kotomine Kirei did not feel any gaze directed at him from the figure in front of him.

It was even impossible to sense any living human aura from the figure.

Breathing, heartbeat, magical fluctuations...none of these!

The only thing that could prove that he really existed there seemed to be the constant sound of footsteps and the other person's huge shadow, which was reflected by the light behind him and covered him from the front.

The guy walking towards me was like a ghost wandering the earth.

不 ...

Kotomine Kirei, who had carried out many missions as an agent, had seen such things as ghosts.

Ghosts don't feel nothing.

Or maybe ghosts are easier to detect for people like him.

But from the guy in front of him, Kotomine Kirei really couldn't feel anything!

However, Kotomine Kirei was not the kind of person who would be frightened by such a scene.

He was still carrying out his actions and even planned to take out new black keys.

but...

Although his mind was trying to make such an action, his body didn't think so.

After he got close enough to the other person, he lowered his center of gravity and leaned forward. He could even see that the other person was wearing a long black sweatshirt and a black shirt underneath. If he looked up a little bit, he could probably see the other person's face... Then Kotomine Kirei found that his line of sight was moving downwards.

The steps he was about to take suddenly stopped uncontrollably.

It was as if seeing the other person's face was such a blasphemous thing.

Then, without taking this step, Kotomine Kirei lost his balance, and the force of leaning forward made him kneel on the ground, and he almost fell to the ground - after that, no matter what action he wanted to make, his body would no longer obey him.

No matter what his mind commanded, his body did not respond at all and remained kneeling on the ground, as if he was a believer atonement for his sins to the true God.

His body was like this, which caused Kotomine Kirei's mind and body to feel a huge sense of alienation.

A body that is completely out of control is like a cage designed to bind his soul.

Kotomine Kirei is trapped here like this!

It's like a sinner tied to a cross, waiting to be judged.

Just at this time, the other person walked up to him, and when passing by him, it was as if he was touching a friend's dog, and the other person's hand fell on his head.

No matter how Kotomine Kirei ordered his body, his body would not move. He could see the other person's hand reaching out from the front, and he could also feel the touch and temperature of the other person's hand when it touched him.

This feeling alleviated the alienation between Kotomine Kirei's mind and body.

This is the only proof that his body is still his own.

It was as if it was a gift given to him by the other party.

then.

Kotomine Kirei heard the other party's voice.

"You stay here. Goodbye, Father."

This was the last sound Kotomine Kirei heard, and from then on he completely sank into darkness.

And from Bazette's perspective, when the figure walked past Kotomine Kirei, he just touched the other's head with one hand, and then the space vibration like water waves appeared again, and Kotomine Kirei's head just disappeared from his body.

This scene happened so quickly and so naturally.

The cut was so smooth that even the sharpest knife couldn't achieve the same degree of perfection.

It was not until the other party walked some distance away that blood spurted out from Kotomine Kirei's headless body.

And the other party also walked in front of him at this time.

He slowly squatted down, then reached out his hand, grabbed his chin, and pulled his head up so that he could see his face.

Bazette was not an expert at remembering faces, but at this moment she remembered the other person's appearance deeply.

Because there is no way not to remember.

Whether it was the other party's pair of golden eyes that carried a sense of majesty that went straight to the instinct even when they remained calm, or the pressure that the other party exuded, which seemed to come from a superior, all of these had deeply engraved the other party's appearance in Bazett's pupils.

Bazette, who was not even a believer, but had heard a little about the church's teachings because of his acquaintance with Kotomine Kirei, directly associated the other person's figure with God at this moment.

The figure covered in light looked like the incarnation of God.

The other party's majesty was as heavy as divine power.

Even the headless corpse lying on the ground behind the other party, spurting blood, seemed like a sacrifice and a ceremonial guard prepared for the coming of the gods!

Then Bazette heard the other person's voice again.

"I can save you, but since you were supposed to die and I saved you, your life will be mine. That's the condition. So... do you want to exchange?"

Unable to move, Bazette was forced to look into the other party's golden eyes.

My brain started to feel dizzy from lack of oxygen.

But Bazett's thoughts were clearer than ever.

She doesn't want to die.

Although she might not be able to get an answer from Kotomine Kirei, she still didn't want to die now.

As long as she could survive, she would agree to make a deal with the devil.

Because she has no choice.

so...

"Change."

With Bazett's response, the contract was established, and a smile appeared on Roland's face.

He began to inject magic power into the ring given to him by Medea. After this magic gift was activated, the healing magic stored in it began to take effect, and Bazette's injuries began to recover at a speed visible to the naked eye.

And in the panel of the [God Group System], the number of members, which was originally only four, became five at this moment.

Bazett, officially joined his group of gods.

Then Roland roughly judged the qualifications for joining the group of gods.

......

15. Both parties need a period of adjustment

The ring on Roland's hand was a magic gift that Medea forced on Roland before he took action when she learned that Roland was going to do it himself.

Medea's healing magic is sealed in it, so even if Bazette is fatally injured, he will not die under this healing magic and may even recover.

But to reattach Bazette's severed hand, this is not something that can be done with just the rigid magic outfit.

It is still up to Medea herself to perform the corresponding healing magic.

So after Roland used the magic suit to stabilize Bazette's condition, he took her and her severed hand out of the Phantom Mansion. Then Altria, who had been guarding here from the beginning, turned her attention to Roland.

"Okay, we've done what we need to do, let's go back."

Roland handed Bazette over to Altria.

After all, he and Bazett are of opposite sexes, while Altria and Bazett are of the same sex, so it is more convenient for Altria to hold or carry the unconscious Bazett.

Then Roland snapped his fingers, and all the flash magic he had set up on the exterior of the ghost mansion before breaking into it was canceled.

These seemed to be mirrors located in the void, and their function was only to release strong light in one direction. After Roland told Medea about his needs, Medea modified the technology based on several similar magic tricks.

This is the magic that Roland memorized specifically after acquiring the Shadow Binding skill.

As long as the shadow touches the opponent, the opponent will be unable to move. Although there are many limitations, this skill is still very useful for Roland today as long as it is used well.

First of all, the most difficult enemies to deal with with his imaginary magic are those who move at high speed. A control skill, even if it is just a slowdown, will be of great help to Roland, not to mention that the control effect of this skill will directly make the opponent lose the ability to move.

In a sense, this effect is a winning move. As long as it is successfully activated, you will win immediately.

Just like Kotomine Kirei just now.

He is very good in both martial arts and combat experience. If Kotomine Kirei were to fight other magi, even those with commendable combat prowess among modern magi would likely die at his hands.

But just after Shadow Binding was successfully launched, this guy died in Roland's hands without any resistance.

This is the deciding factor.

As for the restrictions of Shadow Binding

It doesn't matter that the shadow cannot be controlled. After all, shadows ultimately depend on light and distance.

As long as you control the light and distance well, your shadow will be ever-changing, whether it is the coverage direction or the coverage area, these places will not be a problem.

As for Roland's feeling that he might be able to break free by a strong man... he actually tried it and found that at least it was impossible for Kotomine Kirei to break free on his own.

If he can't do it, then it stands to reason that most people shouldn't be able to do it either.

However, this still needs more attempts.

After all, Kotomine Kirei should be struggling, but Roland didn't feel the strength of his struggle at all, so Roland couldn't judge how to break free from the shadow binding, and what kind of power he relied on to break free.

Well... this skill is still useful at this stage, so let's go back and try it out with Altria.

However, Roland did not gain nothing from using Kotomine Kirei to try his hand this time.

At least he discovered that the camouflage technique that Medea had engraved on his body, in addition to being used for daily camouflage, also played a certain role in combat.

During the battle just now, Kotomine Kirei seemed to be getting closer to him while also exploring him, but because of this technique, he probably didn't find out anything. This may have put a certain amount of pressure on him.

Moreover, it was only after Roland actually used the Shadow Binding skill that he realized that the skill obtained through the lottery was really a skill - it did not consume any energy.

This resulted in Roland being unable to see any traces of magic flow or spells on his own shadow even though he had six eyes.

If you want to teach this move to others, or study the technique and improve it, it's probably impossible without even being able to see the procedure.

But if used in battle, it would be almost impossible for such shadow enemies to detect the problem.

In order to notice that there is something wrong with one's own shadow, perhaps one would need at least the intuition of Altria that can circumvent even the law of causality.

Hmm... just like what Roland said when he drew this skill - neither good nor bad.

Roland summed up his first battle in his mind, then stood with Altria and injected magic power into the other ring given to him by Medea.

Then the space transfer technique was activated, and Roland and Altria took Bazette directly home.

"Medea, help Bazette reattach her severed hand, and let the Command Spell be transferred to you first. After all, that blue spearman will definitely come knocking on our door soon. If he really refuses to talk properly..."

Roland said this first, and then his eyes fell on Altria, who had not reacted at all.

"Prepare the field for battle. When the time comes, Artoria, are you confident that you will win?"

Hearing Roland's question, Artoria, who originally thought that Roland was going to use a similar method as he did on her Master, Emiya Kiritsugu, during the last Holy Grail War, was stunned for a moment, then nodded very seriously.

"Leave it to me. I will bring you victory with the honor of a knight and the dignity of a king at stake!"

"It's so reliable."

Roland nodded, and then walked towards his room, leaving these words to Hassan the Hundred Faces, Medea, and Altria.

"Then I'll leave this to you. Call me when the other party arrives."

Roland did not hand the matter over directly to Medea and Hassan the Hundred Faces. Although he preferred to take a safe approach, now that Altria was also a companion, he had to consider the other party's thoughts.

So in this matter, he first let Medea get the trump card of the Command Spell, and then gave Altria another chance.

He didn't hand the matter over to any one person, but to 'them'.

"At this stage, Medea and I have already reached some tacit understanding, but Baimao and Altria still need a period of adjustment... It's the same between me and them, and it's the same between them."

Thinking of this, Roland thought of Altria's attitude towards Baimao and Medea before.

Fortunately, she is not such a rigid person...

Otherwise it will be too difficult to get used to it.

Roland returned to his bedroom with this thought in mind, and then his eyes turned to the panel of the [God Group System] again.
