Chapter 146: The Weird Situation in the Silent Liudong Temple
() "He is still like this. In fact, he is much better now than he was before... Haha, I can't describe the specific areas where he has improved, but now he at least will not treat our team members in a similar way.
In the past, in addition to dealing with us the same way, he even dealt with himself the same way... Well, I dare to swear that he must have already begun to plan how to deal with you, such as making a conspiracy.
Let you dig in, or set up a plan for you to die, and make everything look natural, haha, when you raised the gun at us, he must have already started planning."
"I won't say much else. There is only one thing you must remember. We are all partners who stand side by side, and we are all comrades who live and die together. Maybe you still can't fully understand what I said, but
You can also think about it for yourself. When you live just to survive, you can abandon everything and betray everything, won't you feel lonely and tired?"
After Illya left, Felicia didn't stay any longer and went straight to the outskirts, heading towards her destination, Mount Yuanzang.
Liudong Temple is the highest temple on the mountain.
For magicians, this residence located on the spiritual line is a land that can be called a temple.
That is the lifeblood of this area, and it is an excellent place to gather souls.
As long as the magician works on the natural flow, he can collect the life force from the town.
The ster cleverly occupied this place and used magic to monitor the entire city. While putting away the information, he sat on the mountain and watched the fight between tigers and tigers.
After walking through the mountain road and walking through the approach to the temple, Felicia felt a sense of depression that didn't disappear until she reached the entrance of the mountain gate.
Enchantment?
A spell has been set on the mountain to exclude souls other than natural spirits. Although it has no effect on living humans, it is like a ghost gate to them.
Even if you are a Servant, your ability will be reduced if you get close to it. Once you step inside, it will be as if you are restricted by a command spell and cannot get close.
But only the main gate has no power to restrain the followers.
"interesting……"
Felicia chuckled and walked straight up from the mountain gate.
It's daytime now, so even if there are followers, they won't start a war, not to mention there are a lot of people here.
After passing the shrine, what awaited her were strict stone steps.
the air is heavy
The wind is dead
The lifeblood of the land has long been polluted
"It's really ridiculous...has ster gone too far?"
───This is a place of death
As soon as you step inside, you won't be able to come back alive.
Felicia thought about it, keeping both guns ready at any time.
With such a heavy death aura, ster must have caused all ordinary people to die or fall asleep?
The stairs to the mountain gate are very long. Although the wind blows from the top of the mountain, it is warm.
"No? How could..."
Felicia looked at the empty mountain gate with some doubts. In her impression, there should be a samurai heroic spirit named Sasaki Kojiro guarding here. His Yan Hui with three consecutive swords dances has considerable power and can be regarded as a warrior.
A must-kill in a certain sense.
but--
There's no one here.
"There are other servnts who have come to this stone step────"
Felicia stopped and looked down, but saw nothing.
"...No, it's an illusion? Or I'm just too worried. I always feel like I saw something like a knife..."
───Forget it, there is no guard at this mountain gate. Just go to the temple.
Felicia quickly climbed up the stone steps.
…
...It was quiet inside the temple.
The wind is strong.
The shadows are deep.
Although the sun was shining, the surroundings were still dark and scary.
"────────"
Look up.
The sun is actually floating in the middle of the sky.
However, the objects in the temple are so deep.
Well, the situation is weird. We've all arrived here, but we haven't received any response. And--it's too quiet like this.
"Where's ster? Why don't you come out like this?"
Felicia walked towards the temple.
───There is a figure around.
While confirming whether there was anyone in the temple, she walked towards the temple, already holding both guns in her hands, ready to go.
There is no need to worry about whether you will be seen. There is no life here at all, and everything is weird.
Entering the temple, Felicia couldn't help but sigh.
──Everyone in the temple is asleep.
There wasn't even a sound of turning over.
No matter if I touch or pull, there is no reaction at all.
All the more than fifty monks were gradually weakening.
Even if they were called, none of them would wake up, as if they were having a peaceful dream, only the regular breathing sounds that kept repeating.
Among those people, there were also people Felicia knew.
That was Rin's classmate, Yanagi Kazunari, just like the one she usually saw in the student union room, sleeping with a leisurely look on his face.
"Russling rustling"
Something was moving quickly on the wooden floor.
what?
Felicia picked up the gun and walked slowly towards the back.
Inside, is the main hall.
"brush--"
Stepping into the dark main hall, Felicia held the gun solemnly and scanned the surroundings.
The moist air wraps around the skin, warm and smelling of ripe fruits.
No?
She moved slowly, tightening her consciousness.
Turning around a statue, Felicia suddenly saw a dark shadow quickly disappearing behind the door!
"who!"
Quickly chasing after him, Felicia entered the courtyard of the temple.
Legend has it that a dragon lives in the pond inside the temple, and it has been regarded as a sacred place since ancient times.
But at this moment——
It was completely empty, without any movement, and the central pool was rippled by the breeze.
No, nothing.
That black shadow that disappeared...what was it?
"Rustling, rustling..."
insect?
Felicia turned her head. There was a door that was ajar, and a voice came from behind the door.
Holding the gun, Felicia walked over slowly.
There is a strange smell.
The stench of rotting flesh was accompanied by the harsh sound of insect wings.
Opening the door, Felicia rushed in——
What appeared before her eyes made her feel sick.
The room was filled with dark things.
For a moment, Felicia suddenly felt a little disgusted with her excessively good eyesight.
Those black things are tiny, annoying, densely packed swarms of insects.
The four corners of this house and every wall are covered with insects that are darker than the dark night.
The space here is dominated by the sounds of insects crawling on the walls and the smell of rotten meat.
Disgusting……
Frowning, Felicia raised her hand.
"Bazi thorn, bazi thorn————"
Dazzling lightning brilliance bloomed in her hands, instantly illuminating the dark room.
Lightning - Rising Star!
The burning smell filled the room...
Under the powerful lightning, several insects in the room only persisted for a few seconds before disappearing, leaving only a pile of hot ashes.
"Is that all?"
Felicia had a vague feeling that there was more to the matter, but she couldn't find a clue.
It was still just before two o'clock in the afternoon, so Felicia searched every corner of the temple anxiously.
Until the sun started to set, but there was no result.
"Oh, is it really my imagination?"
Felicia felt that her brain was a bit out of use.
"Forget it, go back and ask Rin, maybe she will know something..."
Sighing, she walked out of the lifeless temple. Of course she didn't forget to call the hospital. More than fifty people inside were still alive and needed treatment.
When she walked slowly and entered the territory of Miyama Town, the sun was almost completely setting.
At this moment, she suddenly received Rin's call.
"Rher, a servant was found in the school, and it's that vampire! That idiot Shirou went after her. They are in the woods behind the school, and I was about to go there!"
Rin's voice was a little rapid, accompanied by heavy breathing, as if he had experienced strenuous exercise.
"Rin, pay attention to safety, and don't be stingy with command spells at critical times. I'll be there right away!"
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
School...that Medusa?
Smiling, she hid her figure and disappeared into the air in an instant.
In the spiritual state, the moving speed of the heroic spirit can reach close to the speed of sound!
Although it is not as fast as the elemental flight of the complete body, it consumes less energy.
