Kamen Rider Date A Live

"Wow! As expected of the Commander's power, it's incredibly violent!"

In the captain's cabin of Fraxinus, next to Kotori, Kannazuki, who hadn't appeared for a long time, looked at Kotori's berserk state after using her spirit power and went completely berserk, and couldn't help but sigh.

However, this exclamation seemed to anger the violent Kotori. A gust of wind flashed by, and Kannazuki suddenly let out a scream that made many female fans of BL fantasies. She rolled several times in the position of being kicked and fell to the ground with her face slightly red.

"Who's violent, Kaminarizuki! Don't talk nonsense!"

(No, no, Commander, what you just did was violent enough. Kannazuki's forehead is already bleeding!)

Some crew members were complaining in their hearts, but none of them dared to say it out loud—they figured that if they did, Kannazuki's current state would be the best outcome. Besides, they weren't masochists; they could only feel pain from the punches, not pleasure.

Well, regardless of the slight blush on her face, Kannazuki calmly took out a band-aid to fix her wound. Unlike the unreliable Kannazuki who is unreliable in small matters, Reine is extremely reliable in both big and small matters. Although she still has a listless expression and eyes, after watching the crazy posture of agitω and destroying the Lock of Heaven with water vapor, she spoke.

"...If I'm not mistaken, if Xiaoshi doesn't wake up from his rampage, things will get worse."

Lingyin's words startled the crew members who had just witnessed the spectacular scene that shocked everyone. However, although each of these crew members was an eccentric character, their strength and intelligence were beyond question, as they were able to become crew members in the captain's cabin.

"That's right! Shido-kun's current state is different from before. He doesn't have that much spiritual power that could affect the world. For such a large-scale attack, Shido-kun's own magical power is definitely not enough right now!"

<Quickly Entering a Period of Burnout> After being reminded by Reine, Kawagoe understood what was going on and was the first to speak, indicating that he had finally gotten his long-awaited lines, and his name was also mentioned for once!

"Indeed! We've only dealt with the Chains of Heaven, our nemesis. Our opponent, the Hero King, has hardly lost any of his magic power!"

President Mikimoto also expressed his agreement, but his expression showed concern.

"Ah! Look, everyone! Shido-kun has regained his senses! His armor is back to normal!"

From the moment Shiizaki, who had been staring intently at the video, saw the raging flames agitω whose armor had returned to normal, he immediately shouted out.

"Ah, thank goodness... If Shido regains his senses, he should be more careful about his mana consumption... Ugh!!" Kotori, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, hadn't even finished speaking when the scene on the video suddenly changed!

The two swords that Archer was holding suddenly merged into a bow and arrow. He drew the bowstring and shot out a golden arrow, but this golden arrow was easily cut in half by Agitω. Up to this point, this scene did not attract much attention from the crowd. However, what happened next left everyone dumbfounded.

Several enormous arrows of light, like missiles falling from the universe, flew straight towards the raging flames, as if they were about to annihilate everything!

However, in the face of this attack, Kuangyan agitω just clicked his tongue, gathered his meager magic power, surrounded himself with flames that transformed into a Western dragon, and crashed into the arrow of light!

"Onii-chan (older brother)!!!"

At this moment, Kotori could no longer maintain her dignity, and even ignored the fact that her favorite lollipop, Chupa Chups, had fallen from her mouth to the ground and was now letting out a mournful cry.

The 207th Battle is About to Begin (Part 1)

P.S.: **Third installment on the second day...**

Woohoo! ...

On the ground, the roar of speed echoed through the otherwise silent Fuyuki City. Engines revved to their full power, and a streak of yellow light flashed by, accompanied by the deafening roar of the motorcycles at high speed. If anyone saw this yellow light, they could vaguely make out two figures on it.

Moo moo moo moo————！！！！

Rumble rumble rumble!!!

Above the sky, two divine oxen, each step summoning divine thunder and bellowing, strode through the heavens with an aura that seemed capable of destroying everything. Like the yellow light and shadow on the ground, they advanced toward the same goal.

And similarly, behind this divine ox, there was a huge horse-drawn carriage... the ox-drawn carriage was pulled behind it, and six figures were crowded on the ox-drawn carriage.

The six figures were none other than Saber, Lancer, Rider, Berserker, Jeanne d'Arc, and Kiritsugu Emiya. On the ground, the speeding yellow figure was none other than Shido's ride—the Machine Tornader!

The other figure on the mechanical tornado, needless to say, is Shido's helper from another world. He shouldn't have come, but after recently awakening his new abilities and powers, he passed Seiwa Yu's test and came to this world to help Shido's Shiori!

Behind these eight figures, several extremely well-hidden green locusts hopped and followed!

"We're almost there, Shiori, are you ready?"

Without turning her head, Tokikage drove her motorcycle straight toward the Fuyuki Theater. Sensing the increasingly strange and repulsive aura as she drew closer, Tokikage asked Shiori.

"Ah, no need for that, Shido, Rider, go forward with confidence! I will help you overcome all obstacles here!"

boom!!!!

As if in response to Shiori's arrogant words, when everyone was less than a hundred meters away from the Fuyuki Theater, a familiar black mud suddenly burst out from the ground!

However! Neither Rider nor Tokikage Agitω showed any intention of making a move, because everyone had already finalized their battle plan. In this situation, it was Shiori who needed to take action!

"If that's all... it's not enough! Transform!"

The core color of Shiori's belt is completely different from Shido's; it is a pure twilight color. And in accordance with the twilight crystals, the light emitted when Shiori transforms has a slight orange-yellow tint.

As Shiori transforms, under the control of Tokikage Agitω, she transforms into a mechanical tornado—a gliding mechanical tornado that carries the two of them forward, facing the overwhelming black mud!

"drink!"

With a sharp shout, the black mud that had been rushing towards them suddenly turned red and became immobile, as if it had hit an invisible wall. At the same time, beams of red light appeared all around, piercing through the black mud and causing it to begin to melt!

"The power to melt everything, is it merely a part of my ability...?"

Shiori gradually revealed her new form amidst the light. Looking at the melting black mud before her, she unconsciously murmured softly, a murmur that surprised Tokikage and Kurumi.

Due to time constraints, the people present did not know exactly what Shiori's abilities were. However, before setting off, Shiori guaranteed that she would handle all attacks before reaching their destination.

Although they were quite surprised, no one said much, because they all understood that most of them were no different from lambs to the slaughter when facing Kuromushi and the others. Only Shido and Shiori, who possessed the power of pure light, had a way out, so they could only agree. As for Tokikage agitω, it was entirely out of understanding and trust in Shiori.

Finally, why did Kiritsugu Emiya, an ordinary person, go to the battlefield with Tokikage and the others? This requires mentioning what happened before.

--------

"What?! Shiori-san, do you even know the meaning of what you just said?!"

Rider stared at Shiori in shock, as if he had been completely terrified by what Shiori had just said.

Shiori understood that Rider's reaction was a completely natural phenomenon, because not only Rider, but everyone else also looked extremely shocked—although they couldn't see the expressions under Tokikage's helmet at all.

Seeing everyone's reaction and knowing that this was perfectly normal, Shiori, with an unwavering expression, repeated what could only be described as utter nonsense.

"I'll say it again: everyone except Kiritsugu Emiya will remain here. Shido and I will set up a barrier to protect you, and all of you Masters will use all your Command Seals to increase the power of all the Servants present."

Upon hearing Shiori repeat herself a second time, everyone was certain they hadn't misheard. After confirming that their ears were working properly, Toki was the first to object.

"No! If we run out of Command Seals, most of the Heroic Spirits present will have to use their own magical energy to survive, which will be very disadvantageous for the battle!"

"Agreed, and why was I specifically chosen to go with you?"

In the brief moment that followed, Kiritsugu Emiya regained control of his emotions, reverting to his usual cold and expressionless demeanor. After hearing the conversation, Kiritsugu thought for a moment and agreed with Tokiomi's suggestion, then asked Shiori why she had only asked him to go along.

Hearing this question, Shiori was still taken aback, even though she had expected it. The reason was simple: she couldn't very well say it was because they had been watching what people like her did from a God's-eye view!

Therefore, Shiori gave an ambiguous answer.

"You don't need to know the reason, but I can tell you that while you have developed a great interest in and hostility towards Kirei Kotomine, Kirei Kotomine has also developed a similar interest in you."

"And don't you want to avenge your wife? If you agree to come over, I can give you this."

As she spoke, Shiori reached into her belt and a cone-shaped bullet emitting an incredibly gentle platinum-gold light appeared in her hand.

"This is a bullet that can kill Kirei Kotomine in one shot, provided you can hit the location of Kirei Kotomine's soul, which is currently turned into black mud but still retains its will. If you have that confidence, if you want to avenge your wife, if you want to truly save the world... then take this bullet."

Shiori solemnly addressed Kiritsugu with these words, ignoring Irisviel standing beside her, who was complaining that she wasn't dead yet.

Kiritsugu Emiya stared silently at the bullet for a while, then closed his eyes, seemingly recalling his past. However, not long after, Kiritsugu Emiya opened his eyes again and, without any hesitation, reached out and loaded the bullet, which was radiating a platinum-gold light, into his pistol. His meaning was self-evident.

After doing all this, Shiori continued to look directly into everyone's eyes and spoke.

"I know what Shichen just said, but this phenomenon is not without a solution." As she spoke, Shiori looked at Jeanne and said to her.

“Jeanne, if it is you, if it is your Ruler class, then you have the special right to solve this problem, right... for example, the Command Seal in your hand that can command all Heroic Spirits twice.”

Shiori's words caused everyone present to turn their astonished gazes toward Joan of Arc!

The 208th Battle is About to Begin (Part 2)

The 208th Battle is About to Begin (Part 2)

P.S.: **Part 4 of Day 2...**

"Are you suggesting... that I use a Command Spell to resolve this?"

Without any hesitation or surprise, Joan of Arc simply accepted Shiori's words and understood what Shiori meant.

"Ah, that's right. Master uses Command Seals to fully unleash the power of Heroic Spirits, while Jeanne uses Command Seals to solve the problem of magical power and resist the evil of this world. After all, without any resistance, almost all Heroic Spirits will only end up turning to the dark side."

"Darkening... huh? I've heard about it from the Counter Force before, but is there a way to stop it?! I heard from the Counter Force that now that Archer is dead, aside from Saber and Shido who retrieved their swords, we're practically powerless to stop it."

Rider asked a question, and upon hearing it, Shiori recalled the information that Seiwa Yu had given her before she came here, and nodded with certainty.

“The pollution of evil is not unsolvable. Although fundamentally, the pollution of evil comes from three aspects: spiritual pollution, soul pollution, and physical pollution, there are two types of people who can escape the pollution of evil and turn the evil into their own power.”

Shiori's words piqued everyone's interest, and some of them, such as Rider, had already guessed which two types of people it was.

"The first type is an existence whose personality, existence, abilities, physical characteristics, etc. are highly compatible with evil. After being devoured by evil, although the body will turn into black mud of evil, it can retain its consciousness. Of course, it is also possible that the personality will change drastically and the evil side of itself will be brought out by evil. The former is generally someone whose personality is extremely strange, while the latter is someone who has become evil. Kirei Kotomine, whom we just met, is the first type."

"The second type is those who are spared from spiritual pollution due to their strong sense of self. Such people usually have an extremely tenacious spirit and absolute self-confidence. If such people are devoured by evil, the evil will usually be devoured in return, or they will be directly exempted from the spiritual pollution of evil. Among the people we know, only Archer, who has now died, can do this, because among the people we know, only Archer has that kind of personality."

"As for what we need to do later, Jeanne d'Arc will use Command Spells to strengthen all Heroic Spirits' resistance to mental pollution and address the issue of continuously decreasing magical power. This will at least increase our chances of victory."

Shiori's words silenced everyone present, and they all began to ponder the likelihood of Shiori's plan succeeding.

"……agree."

The first to speak was not one of the Heroic Spirits present, but Waver, who had been hiding behind Rider.

"...This battle is definitely not one we can watch from the sidelines and sit back and relax. Moreover, if we keep maintaining our Command Seals like this, what if the Evil of This World attacks us while Shido and the others are engaged in fierce combat? We will ultimately be helpless and killed. Kirei Kotomine's actions just now completely proved this point!"

As he grew more and more agitated, Waver stepped forward and loudly shared his thoughts with everyone. Hearing Waver stand up and openly express his ideas, Shido and Rider couldn't help but smile. It seemed that Waver had changed a lot since their morning conversation and since the recent events…

"...Hehe, since my disciple has said so, how could I, as his master, disagree? Besides, what Weber said is absolutely right. In this war, we are nothing but a burden."

The first person to agree with Waver was none other than Waver's teacher, Kenneth. Kenneth was the first to agree with Waver because, of everyone present, he was the only one who had suffered a serious injury, an injury that had not yet fully healed. Going to the battlefield in such a state, without the protection of Heroic Spirits, would undoubtedly be suicide.

"Well, I've never cared about the Holy Grail from the beginning, I agree."

Next to speak was Kariya, who had never cared about the Holy Grail War from the beginning. After a brief analysis of the current situation, he was the second to agree with Waver's words—after all, among those present, he was the weakest in terms of magical ability, so he could better understand Waver's words.

"agree."

Two concise words were Kiritsugu Emiya's answer. Because at this moment, Kiritsugu Emiya's gaze and focus were no longer on this.

"Sigh, although this is an incredibly risky method... but now, we have no choice but to take the risk..."

In the end, Tokiomi looked around and saw that all the other Masters except himself had agreed to Shiori's method. Tokiomi had no choice but to agree as well. He then walked up to Waver and began the ritual to change the Command Seals.

Before long, the two remaining Command Seals in Tokichi's hand disappeared, and Waver's number of Command Seals increased to seven.

And this also officially foreshadows that Shichen is officially withdrawing from this war!

"Alright, since everyone agrees, let's all make the most of this time. While Shido and I are preparing to protect your barrier, let's use this time to do one last thing, say what we want to say, and do what we want to do."
