Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

120. The truth is revealed

It's only a matter of time before Mikazuki loses control, just like Cinderella's magic will surely fail.

It's hard to say whether delaying the arrival of this moment in advance is a good thing or a bad thing. From different perspectives, different results may come out, right?

At least Fujimaru Ritsuka thought it was a good thing.

Although Lu Mingfei did say the wrong thing, it is better to do it in advance than in delay, because Fujimaru Ritsuka knows very well that delaying things longer will only make things more difficult to deal with.

The disguise was taken off, and Mikazuki, who had become one with the Demon Machine, attacked the Argonauts' stronghold - the largest man-made building in the center of the Tiangong City stage, the DEM Company's skyscraper.

Thousands of black light spears continuously bombarded the skyscrapers, and were all blocked by the barrier set up by Medea and the arrows of Hercules who guarded the place.

If it were an attack of this magnitude, the NPC residents in Tiangong City who would be harmed by the aftermath of the collision would be the ones who would really suffer more than the Argonauts——

Nowadays, it is not accurate to say that they are NPCs. After all, everyone knows that the true identities of these so-called NPCs are the residents who survived the singularity in London in 1888.

Perhaps Kirshtalia had somewhat anticipated this coming.

One good thing about civilians in the world of "Date Live" is that they are used to sudden natural disasters, so they are very familiar with their respective escape routes to shelters when faced with natural disasters.

The surviving residents of London, who had been given this part of false memories by Kirshtalia, faced the crisis. Although they were still in chaos, they still went to the shelter in an orderly manner under the cover of the army.

In other words, for the upcoming decisive battle, at least there is no need to worry about civilian casualties, right?

Ritsuka, who was driving the Demon God Machine Guxin, separated from Lu Mingfei and then joined up with Madame Bertha and Holmes who were following closely behind.

Confirmed that his team has been assembled.

"Matthew, please."

Mashu, who silently piloted the demon machine Andrielp, immediately responded to his master's order.

The Demon Machine rushed between Mikazuki and the Argonauts who were fighting, and then raised a huge shield - blocking Mikazuki's face.

"Calm down! Mikazuki!"

Ritsuka tried to convey his order to Mikazuki's mind at this time——

[Difficulty: 60+30 (because the difficulty of removing the disguise in advance increases) = 90]

[Fujimaru Ritsuka’s ‘calling effect’: 1D100=56]

【56＜90】

Mikazuki didn't respond. The Demon God Machine Barbatos seemed to have turned into a beast, and instead launched a fierce attack on the Demon God Machine Andrielp who was his colleague in front of him!

"no solution anymore."

Ritsuka clicked her tongue, glanced at the Demon God Danterian beside her, and immediately raised her right hand.

On the back of the hand of the girl master who controlled the demon god, the light of three command spells kept flickering.

"I order you with the first command spell! Avenger! Recall your original intention! In order to realize our 'revenge', we should not be enemies of the Star Heroes who can create miracles at this time! In order to return to a more powerful posture , go and ask for the fragments from the planet!"

[The effect of a command spell: 1D100=74]

[Total: 56+74=130\u003e90]

After consuming a command spell, the Master's voice was successfully conveyed to Mikazuki's mind.

Mikayuki seemed to have calmed down a little. She no longer attacked Mashu without distinguishing between friend and foe. Instead, she turned her head and turned into a meteor, leaving the center of Tiangong City.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's team followed closely and left Tengu City.

[Number of remaining command spells by Fujimaru Ritsuka: 2]

☆

Not long after Fujimaru Ritsuka left, Lu Mingfei controlled the Chaldea and turned into a black dragon, arriving at the headquarters of the Argonauts.

There was no obstruction at all, as if the two sides had never been hostile. What made Lu Mingfei feel a little discouraged was that no one on his side seemed surprised by this situation except himself.

It seemed that except Lu Mingfei, everyone else had already known about it.

Have you been fooled by everyone again?

Lu Mingfei slumped his shoulders. Then he was suddenly photographed from behind, and when he turned around, he discovered that it was a somewhat unfamiliar acquaintance - Zero.

The reason why she is said to be familiar is because when she lent her body to the Celestial Wizard Lucy from another world, Lu Mingfei and Lucy, two bad students, often attended classes together. The reason why she is said to be unfamiliar is because Lu Mingfei rarely talks to the real Zero.

"She doesn't know either."

The Sanwu girl pointed at Lu Mingfei's shadow expressionlessly.

Kazuko in the shadow clicked her tongue: "I don't care about such boring things at all."

Then, the Sanwu girl said: "No one is lying to you, it's just that your grades are not good."

"Huh?" Lu Mingfei was a little confused when he was suddenly hurt in such an inexplicable way.

"Everyone didn't hide it from you. It's just that at the very beginning, everyone guessed that Mikazuki was an enemy through the names of Barbatos and Mikazuki. Therefore, Fujimaru Ritsuka, who created Mikazuki, was naturally the one responsible for this London endgame. The real shady story, even if there is no mutual communication, everyone with certain mystical knowledge has already guessed this, and the same is true for the Argonauts. Therefore, everyone knew from the beginning that they were not enemies with the Argonauts, but just chose to believe it. Kong Ming’s strategy is just a silent show.”

"Ah..." Lu Mingfei's expression became subtle.

After the Sanwu girl said a lot of words expressionlessly, she poked Lu Mingfei's chest:

"Lu Mingfei, there is no acting, it's all about emotion."

"You want to say that if someone points this out to me, I won't be able to act well, right?"

"Um."

Lu Mingfei felt even more hurt for no reason.

However, I was still secretly relieved.

☆

At this moment, in the base of the Argonauts.

Excluding Fujimaru Ritsuka and her accomplices, as well as the Thousand World Tree clan who had failed in the previous battle with the Argonauts and separated from the London Singularity.

Still inside the London Singularity, everyone who can contribute to the upcoming decisive battle is gathered here.

Kong Ming is here as a matter of course.

He is even fully responsible for the internal affairs of the entire base, and everyone is assigned to their respective positions - Jason may be a first-rate adventurer and a wise general with great wisdom, but in this aspect he has Definitely not.

Through the surveillance effect of magic, the joint forces confirmed the current location of Mikazuki, Fujimaru Ritsuka and others.

Because the effect of the fairy tale world has basically disappeared, and Kirshtalia's stage only turned London into Tiangong City, it left the scope of London and came to the crescent moon on the edge of London's singularity. At this time, it was probably in the Atlantic Ocean. About 15,000 meters above the sky.

She controlled the demon machine Barbatos, and posed downwards in a posture similar to throwing a spear, as if endless energy was constantly condensing in its hands, turning into the shape of a huge 'gun' or 'stake'.

Kong Ming went directly to Lu Mingfei and took him to a reception room that had been prepared long ago. As he walked, he told Lu Mingfei:

"There is still about half an hour before Mikazuki can gather enough power to theoretically penetrate the planet. During this time, I will sort out the truth about everything - what Fujimaru Ritsuka has experienced so far, And I will tell you all about Mikazuki’s true identity and ultimate purpose.”

Kong Ming obviously saw through what Lu Mingfei wanted to know most in his heart right now.

"After all, if I don't tell you everything clearly, you won't be able to go all out to the next decisive battle."

Enter the reception room.

The first person to jump into Lu Mingfei's arms was Yoshino.

Seeing that Yoshino was really fine, Lu Mingfei couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Yoshino took a deep breath into Lu Mingfei's arms, then squatted down again and knocked cutely on the door as if knocking on the door. Ming Fei's shadow.

Akako appeared with the word "reluctance" written all over her face.

Then he was hugged by Yoshino and sucked hard without explanation, followed by Lu Mingfei on his left hand and Akuzuko on his right hand, as if holding a family of three. Obviously, Yoshino's meaning was very obvious, that is, he did not want to be separated again. .

This made the sister of the Gemini sister (brother and sister?) opposite her look a little frustrated.

The conference room was basically full of acquaintances. To be precise, the entire leadership team of Chaldea and the Argonauts were gathered here. In addition, there were also people representing local Londoners headed by Moriarty. Aboriginal faction.

Kong Ming did not introduce these big figures one by one, but directly pointed at the few people in this group who looked the most ordinary and had the most ordinary aura.

"They are the real survivors of the 'Knights of Londinion'. Before London was dragged to the endgame, they, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, almost completed the strategy of London's singularity, but were covered by the fairy tale world. The memory was hidden as an ordinary NPC, and now with the testimony provided by them and the elf Haide, plus the clues provided by Fujimaru Ritsuka himself, I finally got the truth about everything."

These words were not only spoken to Lu Mingfei, but also to everyone present.

The Alliance needs a truth before it can confirm who is the enemy and who is the friend, and then launch the final battle.

The truth hidden behind countless clues and hints, the truth that Fujimaru Ritsuka, as the Master of the Demon Fang, strives to convey——

It's time to reveal.

☆

The story returns to Fuyuki's final battle.

The foreshadowing has long been laid.

When Fujimaru Ritsuka chose to swallow the Fuyuki Holy Grail in order to help Lu Mingfei save Olga Marie.

There are two types of Holy Grails that Chaldea has seen so far.

One is truly the Holy Grail.

One is the artificial Holy Grail created by the Demon King using the 'civilized energy' obtained by burning human nature.

The former is considered the most top-notch holy relic that can be used directly as a Noble Phantasm, while the latter is essentially a magic ritual made by a magician.

Fujimaru Ritsuka ate one of the Holy Grails made by Goetia and obtained the energy in it. In exchange, after falling into a coma, its soul was detected by Goetia.

Then the time came after the French Singularity was conquered and all the plans of the Holy King were made public.

Although the Holy King fell, his legacy fell into the hands of everyone regardless of friend or foe.

The Demon King is naturally no exception.

So, he was just taking a nap in the Crown Time Temple, waiting for his time-reversing magic reading to be completed. He even didn't bother to pay attention to Goetia, who ignored the demons under him running around in various singularities.

It saw a certain possibility in the Holy King's plan.

If the Holy King had not been defeated by Lu Mingfei and Charlemagne, he might have dragged the possibility of self-destruction with him.

So Goetia took action, and he also picked up the Holy King's legacy and started operating.

What is the true legacy of the Holy King?

It's not a [Friendship Badge], but he provides an idea, which is to use the chaotic characteristics of the singularity's space and time to create a super combat power that is popularly called the 'King of the Singularity'.

Goetia started the operation.

He looked through historical records and created dozens of singularities in one breath with the goal of "nurturing the king of singularities": Heian Kyo, Kanfuko City, Onigashima, and Tokyo. Naturally, this also included Chateau d'If.

The vast majority of attempts failed.

There are also some special points that are directly out of control, so they are abandoned by Goetia to fend for themselves. If any demon is interested, they can go there and take over.

There is no failure, and there is no singularity out of control, there is only the Chateau d'If.

Goetia successfully recreated the historical Chateau d'If event, and designed the seven hells inside to be even more complete than the historical event.

After completing these, what Goetia needs is a soul, a tenacious soul that can pass the trial and come out of the seven hells of the Chateau d'If.

So Goetia threw Fujimaru Ritsuka in.

Because of the different passage of time, and the classic time cycle design inside the Chateau d'If, Fujimaru Ritsuka's soul spent countless days inside, and finally one day, she met her 'Father Faria' '.

Next, under the training of Father Faria, Fujimaru Ritsuka began to challenge the seven hells and the seven demon kings by relying on the characteristic of "as long as the will is not contaminated, you can be resurrected infinitely in hell" -

What?

Why do you think Hell wants to give its challengers a mechanism of unlimited resurrection?

Because this is what hell is. Hell is such a place of infinite torture, where you can neither survive nor die.

Only those with incredibly strong willpower can avoid being eroded and assimilated by hell, and then use the characteristics of this infinite cycle of torture to temper themselves.

There are actually many souls thrown in together with Fujimaru Ritsuka, and there are even a large number of heroic spirit servants among them.

But only Fujimaru Ritsuka succeeded in reaching the end.

Then Goetia failed as expected.

Goetia recreated the historical Chateau d'If within the singularity, but the historical Chateau d'If hell was successfully conquered by Edmond Dantès, and in turn obtained the 'Secret Treasure of Monte Cristo' against it. of power.

If Goetia is really just repeating historical events, isn't this just creating a father for herself?

So what Goetia prepared for Fujimaru Ritsuka was an enhanced version of the Castle If Hell.

He cleverly set a trajectory so that even if Fujimaru Ritsuka successfully completed the experience of the historical Cave King himself and penetrated the entire seven hells with the help of 'Father Faria', he would be about to leave Chateau d'If. was killed instantly and fell back to the lowest level of Hell in Chateau d'If.

Goetia's purpose is not to create a father for herself.

Instead, create a 'King of Singularity', a super warrior who can be controlled by himself, preferably a madman who is extremely powerful but insane and easy to control with magic.

Goetia is very satisfied with the material of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

But it still miscalculated.

Because the quality of the material he put into it far exceeded Goetia's imagination.

Fujimaru Ritsuka saw through Goetia's trick.

She found servants with magician knowledge among the heroic spirit servants who were thrown into hell together, and learned from them that if Goetia really reproduced the historical event of Castle If Hell, then this Yif It is impossible to pass the fort.

If Chateau d'If was really designed to be impossible to pass, then everything in this hell would be impossible.

So there must be something wrong here.

During this process, Mashu also followed because he was worried about the safety of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

So the two started the trial together under the guidance of Father Faria.

After going through a trial that could be called "Fujimaru Ritsuka Returns from Dark Souls" or "Fujimaru Ritsuka Returns from Bloodborne Curse", Fujimaru Ritsuka saw through and cracked Goetia's trap, destroying and liberated the entire Chateau d'If.

Goetia's trap is - 'Father Faria'

No, it is not 'Father Faria', but the King of the Cave, but it is not the 'Edmond Dantès' who really existed in history, nor is it the normal Heroic Spirit Servant Edmond.

But a special Avenger Phantom——

Fujimaru Ritsuka got clues from Shakespeare, a writer disciple who was thrown into hell together, and deduced the answer.

The mentor who guides and guides Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, Sora has the same appearance as Edmond Dantès, and his true identity is a fake of fakes.

There was a real Cave King himself in history.

There is also recorded data of the Cave King himself on the Throne of Heroes.

But what was created by Goetia was not either of the two, but a vengeful ghost who possessed all the memories and powers of the Cave King, but knew clearly that he was not the Cave King.

That is - 'The King of the Cave in the Story'

Very simple reason.

The novel stories are more or less adapted from reality.

Since there is an adaptation, there will definitely be differences between the characters in the story and the characters in reality.

The big difference is like King Arthur, even the gender has been changed.

And this 'vengeful ghost' created by Goetia and pretending to be Father Faria is a fake who knows that he is a fake.

The man-made Avenger Phantom has the same qualities as the Heroic Cave King, but his mind is completely twisted and he is an out-of-control revenge ghost.

As long as Fujimaru Ritsuka is about to leave Chateau d'If, he will be killed instantly and start all over again.

For this deliberately created revenge ghost, there is only one way to escape, and that is to complete revenge.

However, he is just a fake, and everything he owns is false. He has nothing, not even an object of revenge - because the objects of revenge in his false memory have actually been replaced by the real ones. The Cave King has been dealt with.

The real Cave King has long since completed his revenge.

A counterfeit with nothing, all it has in the end is the Chateau d'If.

This is Goetia's plan.

No matter it is Fujimaru Ritsuka or this super vengeful ghost, he will give him the King of Singularity——

Then Fujimaru Ritsuka conquered Shakespeare and asked Shakespeare to give him a fake 'Haidee' that was also a fake.

The vengeful ghost gained a companion and could endure the infinite wrath of his heart.

Fujimaru Ritsuka cleared the level and obtained the power of the Vengeful Ghost, letting his body replace Castle If and becoming the host of the two of them - making the Vengeful Ghost and the Elf Princess become similar to their own ghosts or substitutes.

The reproduced Chateau d'If was unable to survive and collapsed, and all the souls invested in it were liberated.

Goetia was dumbfounded.

——to be continued!

The Cave King who always follows the protagonist in the dreams of FGO is such a fake. Although it is generally considered to be a unique point of the event, the Prison Island has now been officially recognized as part of the main line.

It is also one of the few heroic spirits that is resident by default (in terms of setting, this cave king can only be established next to the protagonist)
