Chapter 41 Target Liudong Temple

"Please be quiet and stay calm. It was just a gas leak and poisoning. The victim just passed out and there were no casualties."

Next to an office building, several policemen calmed the frightened people around them and said loudly.

No matter who you are, you will feel uneasy if you see a dozen people who live nearby being carried on stretchers into ambulances and taken to the hospital.

At this time, after hearing the explanations from the police, these ordinary people breathed a sigh of relief.

Because none of the people who were carried out had any type of trauma, they accepted the police's statement.

It's just that I will complain a lot.

"You're really careless. You should pay attention to safety even when using a heater."

"That's right, not only will you suffer, but it will also hurt other people."

"However, in this winter, I can't stand it without a heater."

"..."

Fine snow began to fall in the sky. Through his clairvoyance, he saw the appearance of ordinary people who had passed out due to gas poisoning. Du En couldn't help but ponder.

Although the symptoms look somewhat similar, combined with the sudden transfer of magic power before, it is more like weakness caused by losing too much vitality all at once.

In this world, magic power is divided into large sources and small sources. The large source is the natural external source, while the small source is inside the human body.

Magicians who possess magic can convert life force into magic power through magic circuits, thereby realizing the release of magic. Ordinary people without magic circuits cannot do this.

However, in terms of vitality and soul power, the value of both is the same.

Therefore, some magicians who lack magic will even target ordinary people, draw life force from ordinary people, and then convert it into their own magic power.

The Servants summoned due to the Holy Grail War have lost their human bodies, so they are unable to generate magic power independently. They can only rely on their masters to supply them or steal magic power from ordinary people.

In this regard, Duen, who can draw magic power from the great source to restore himself, is simply an alien among aliens.

The symptoms of magic power, or life force being robbed, are just like those of some people suffering from gas poisoning.

Du En had indeed sensed a transfer of magic power just now. Even if Du En made a mistake, Illya, who contacted the entire Fuyuki City leyline through the Holy Grail, would not make a mistake either.

The end point for the transfer of magic power should be Enzōzan Ryudouji Temple, which is the gathering point of Fuyuki City's ley lines.

In other words, there are servants who use Ryudou Temple as their base and secretly draw magic power from ordinary people.

Collecting the magic power of ordinary people may not necessarily be because the magic power provided by the Master is insufficient, but may also be a reserve for the battle that may occur next.

For some servants who are not orthodox heroes and become heroic spirits, in order to win, they have no scruples in taking action, even if the target is just ordinary people.

If it were a normal Holy Grail War, those who would be summoned would naturally be noble people named "heroes".

But I don’t know when it started. In Fuyuki’s Holy Grail War, not only the legendary “heroes” can be summoned, but even the opposite of the “heroes” are generally called “evil”, that is, “anti-heroes”.

"The character can also appear in the world as long as certain conditions are met.

In the final analysis, what kind of servants can be summoned, excluding the influence of holy relics, largely depends on the character of the master.

People with dark hearts will not summon cheerful followers.

People with complicated hearts will not summon servants with simple personalities.

A righteous and bright person will not summon despicable and cunning people.

If every Master followed the most basic summoning method, then the Holy Grail War, in which Masters and Servants work together, would definitely have a completely different direction.

However, I hope that what I summon is a famous heroic spirit, and I hope that the servant I summon is a powerful heroic spirit.

With this mentality of doing whatever it takes to obtain the Holy Grail, the Holy Grail War has therefore degenerated. It is no longer a mythical battle staged by heroes from different histories, but has become a stage play in which magicians scheming to win.

For most magicians, servants are just like familiars. As long as they can win, no matter what, they don't need to care about their feelings.

However, the magicians have forgotten that heroic spirits are not mechanical tools. Even if the two have a common goal, once the differences between the two become irreconcilable, betrayal is not uncommon.

But, Ryudong Temple?

Du En looked in the direction of Liudong Temple, and instantly spanned the distance of several kilometers. But at this level, Du En could even see every leaf of the trees on Enzang Mountain clearly.

However, when Du En wanted to observe the Liudong Temple on the mountain more thoroughly, a film rose up, blocking his view.

"Enchantment?"

Moreover, the barriers in Liudong Temple are not just as simple as one or two.

As a well-known place of prayer in Fuyuki City, even if there are no monks who can exercise the mysticism anymore, the power of wishes alone is enough to keep the barrier of Ryudou Temple that has been inherited since the beginning of its construction long-lasting.

Moreover, this barrier has become more and more perfect under the transformation of the newly arrived servant.

The magic power taken away from ordinary people gathered in Ryudou Temple, and Enzang Mountain was originally the gathering point of the earth's veins, making it like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. Once ordinary servants stepped in there, they would probably encounter something extraordinary immediately.

An unexpected counterattack.

However, that servant should not have occupied Liudong Temple for a long time, otherwise there would be no news about him before.

"Illya, do you want to go take a look? Take Bazett with you tonight."

Even if Duen is restrained for some reason, he can rest assured that Bazett is there to protect Illya.

If Dun's three-headed dog hadn't been stabbed to death by Cu Chulainn, Illya would have been safer with the three-headed dog.

Now think about it, if Du En had obtained the protection of Ereshkigal, the goddess of the underworld, before coming to this world, then the strength of the three-headed dog would have skyrocketed to an extremely terrifying level.

It is also the protection of Hades, whether it is Hades's or Ereshkigal's, there is not much difference.

By then, even a Servant will probably have a hard time defeating Cerberus in a head-on battle.

However, that's how things are in the world, and nothing is perfect.

Being able to obtain Heracles's (Twelve Trials) and part of (Twelve Glory) treasures, coupled with Duen's own abilities and protection, there is no possibility of failure for him in this Holy Grail War.

With so many restrictions, how could an ordinary heroic spirit defeat him?

As long as you protect Illya, then crush all the other servants head-on.

However, Illya expressed her dissatisfaction with Du En's meticulous care.

"Really, Berserker, you are too cautious! It's enough for the two of us to go. Whether it's one or two servants, we can deal with them all neatly."

Listening to Illya's confident tone, Du En smiled bitterly in his heart.

You are so confident in me!

However, if he doesn't respond to such expectations, then he would be a failure as a servant.

After rubbing Ilia's head lovingly, Du En laughed, with a confident smile on his face.

"That's right, whether it's one or two cavalry servants, just defeat them all neatly. There's no need to be timid."

This is how it should be. He is obviously the strongest person in this Holy Grail War. If he is timid, wouldn't he just make others laugh?

His eyes were pointed at the temple on Mount Enzo like a sharp sword, and there was no need to hesitate.

Next target, Ryudong Temple!
