The sound of footsteps approached Matou Pond and Ryougi Shiki.
Shirai Junri slowly raised her hand and greeted Ryougi Shiki with a familiar, intimate smile, just like before.
"It's been a long time. Let me think, it must have been three months, Liangyi... and His Holiness the Holy Son."
"—!"
The moment Shiro Junri stepped out, Ryougi Shiki was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
He, who came from within, is practically a carbon copy of Ryougi Shiki.
A woman's skirt paired with a red leather jacket.
Her hair was casually trimmed to shoulder length, and she had a neutral face.
However, his hair was blond, and his pupils were a bright red, like a rabbit's, as if he were wearing colored contact lenses.
But what's even more surprising is...
It's not just looking through Ryougi Shiki's eyes, but also through Matouike's deconstructive magic eyes.
The information I received was about this guy named Shirasumi Rio.
She is now completely a woman.
She even has a uterus!
"...What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything? Are you not used to me like this?" Shirai Junri lowered her head, as if she felt a little regretful.
Before Matou Ike and Ryougi Shiki could reply, she turned her gaze from Ryougi Shiki to Matou Ike and continued:
"This is what is called a blessing, Your Majesty. Only by being completely transformed into the Mother can one receive the Holy Spirit's grace."
"You seem very unwilling?" Matou Ike looked at her while observing the surrounding environment.
"How could I possibly agree? Does the Holy Son have a woman he likes?" Bai Chun ran her slender, fair fingers through her messy blonde hair and asked a completely unrelated question.
Despite being enemies destined to fight to the death, a strange sense of relaxation permeated the atmosphere between the three of them.
It's like old friends catching up after a long time apart.
Matou Ike nodded, but did not reply.
Ryougi Shiki, standing to the side, turned her head in surprise as if she had seen a ghost, looking at Matou Ike.
Just like the fact that this man in front of you would fall in love with a woman, it's even more surprising than Shirai Rio becoming a woman.
“I also have women I love, and I even want to be a father, but this blessing has ruined everything. No one ever told me it would end up like this.”
“Everything is deceiving me, whether it’s Mr. Araya or Lord Seishin… I didn’t want to become like this.”
Shirai Junri spoke with a mournful face, her gestures carrying a hint of madness, as if she were truly a lost lamb.
She's a born actor.
Chapter 232 You Kill Me, I'll Kill You Again
If Angra Mainyu were here, he would definitely say that this guy is a character with potential.
As the assistant behind the director of the Holy Grail War, he could tell at a glance between someone with a role and someone without.
But Angra Mainyu wasn't present, so no one could fill the role of the sarcastic commentator.
"That was a good joke," Ryougi Shiki commented.
Ryougi Shiki wasn't usually this talkative, and the reason she hadn't made a move yet was simply because she had used her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception to look at Shiro Jun Rio.
This guy's body—
No?
No
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
There are no 'lines'!
Absolutely none, not even one 'deadline'!
Everything has its flaws.
Humans go without saying, but this also includes the atmosphere, will, and even time.
but...
Ryougi Shiki only realized the man—no, the woman—when she was so close.
"—I can't see this guy...!?"
Ryougi gazed at the woman who had been transformed from a man with an extremely strong, unprecedented determination.
The brain may overheat as a result, and consciousness may become mostly hazy.
By observing his opponent so diligently, he finally saw him.
I saw the blood-red 'dot'.
Located at the center of the body, in the middle of the chest.
The line, like a child's scribbles, draws circles in the same place, and in the end, it looks like a dot.
Can't go wrong.
The 'point of death' leads directly to the place of death.
Having been taught by Touko and Matou Ike, she was quite wary of this highly suspicious form of existence and therefore did not act rashly.
"A joke?" When Shirai Junri heard this, she stopped abruptly, seemingly displeased, as if her existence had been denied by someone important to her.
But she quickly recovered and turned to Ryougi Shiki with a radiant smile again:
"You're making me sad, Shiki. And why are you looking at me like that, like you want to eat me alive... Speaking of eating people, I've been starving for ages!!!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shirai Junri, who was as beautiful as a peerless goddess under her exquisite makeup and styling, suddenly transformed into the appearance of a demon.
Although it looks exactly like Ryougi Shiki, it contains a strange beauty, like a concept.
The woman's skirt fluttered wildly amidst the pile of white bones, transforming into a blood-red whirlwind that swept towards Matouike and Ryougi Shiki.
"Can you see me?" Matou Ike used the technique of shared perception to establish a channel of inner communication with Ryougi Shiki beside him.
"It was barely acceptable, but very strange. It was the first time I had ever seen such a dead line."
As they exchanged questions and answers, Shirasumi Rio's figure gradually drew closer.
Her goal is Ryougi Shiki, or perhaps it's that Ryougi Shiki is all she cares about.
The next instant—Ryougi Shiki's figure vanished without a trace.
This is a speed that surpasses the limits of human capabilities; theoretically, Ryougi Shiki's girlish physique alone could not possibly achieve it.
But nearby is Matou Ike, a magician, and the Matou family, famous for their familiars.
Matou Ike, who even made a contract with a Heroic Spirit.
At this moment, through a temporary contract, she is using the magic she learned from Medea to enhance others, helping Ryougi Shiki surpass the limits of humanity.
Ryougi Shiki's abilities were perfectly unleashed at this moment, but of course, this kind of magic also requires a high level of magical power.
In a mere instant, a single leap can switch the balance between offense and defense.
She had already darted behind Shirai Junri.
As he turned around, he swung his knife towards the center of Shiraishun Rio's back.
The blade pierced through the dead point formed by the overlapping dead lines.
"------Um?"
The instant the blade struck.
The number of 'death lines' on Bai Chun's back suddenly increased dramatically.
One, two, three, four, five... eight, nine, ten... twenty...
Eighty, one hundred, two hundred, three hundred, four hundred ————————!
Something's not right here.
What I saw didn't feel like this guy's 'death,' but rather a simple collection of a bunch of alien objects.
Just like the worms inside Matouike's body!
They have such similar structures, yet they also have their differences.
There's no time to be confused anymore.
His back is right in front of me. Anyway, no matter which 'line' it is, just cut it down. Cut it down and it will be over.
In the air, Ryougi Shiki glides around the lines in her eyes, making tiny, circular motions.
In an instant, three strikes were made, following the trajectory of the three death lines, just like an illustrator wielding a fine-tipped pen, sketching exquisite lines on a messy sketch.
It was cut, without a doubt.
But the expected death did not occur; instead, the red leather jacket billowed out like a sail filled with wind.
As if spewing from a sea of blood, three humanoid shadows detached from her body and then exploded violently.
Immediately afterwards, Shirai Riyu turned around and released several blood-red demonic shadows from the center of her chest.
It suddenly turned and struck down like a thunderbolt.
It flew towards the Ryougi Shiki enveloped in mid-air.
In the brief exchange between the two.
Matou Pond awakened the Fireball Ants that had been left under Ryougi Shiki's skin and were in a deep sleep.
After calculating the safe range.
The crimson flying ants disappeared into the blood-red demonic shadow and exploded with a bang.
Matou Ike stood aside, coldly watching the shadow enveloped in blazing white flames.
