Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

——A little bit of information that has nothing to do with the text——

About a particularly well-known Fantasy Killer from "A Certain Magical Index".

Because the "Fantasy Killer" in it is not the ability of "Fantasy Killer" in the literal sense, and it actually does not have the effect of "killing fantasy" in the literal sense. In other words, Fantasy Killer is not a Fantasy Killer.

Kamijou Touma's ability is not the 'power to kill illusions', but the power to 'maintain world stability'. In other words, apart from being habitually called Fantasy Killer, he has basically nothing to do with Fantasy Killer.

Therefore, it cannot be grouped with the interpreters of Sherlock Holmes and must be discussed in categories.

☆Text☆

Sherlock Holmes’s interpreter was not a particularly famous ‘fantasy killer’.

'Fantasy Killer' is not a Fantasy Killer. He has nothing to do with fantasy and does not kill anything. He only exists in the hands of the protagonist of "A Certain Magical Index".

The reason why it can produce an effect that looks reminiscent of 'Fantasy Killer' is because its essence is the power of 'maintaining world stability' and returning the distortion caused by various mysterious magic to a state of non-existence.

As for Sherlock Holmes’s Interpreter, although its name is The Interpreter, its effect is literally ‘Fantasy Killer’.

The principle of Holmes's ability is to literally "kill" the concept of "mystery (fantasy)", thus causing the effect of crushing mysterious objects and mysterious powers.

The principle here is actually very simple.

In the fate world, where does the so-called mystery and mystery come from?

This is a classic counter-logical thinking setting.

There is a "root" in the world of Fate. The "root" is considered by magicians to be the ultimate mystery, and everything in this world is the outflow of the "root".

So from an objective point of view, all things and matters in the fate world have mysterious properties.

Everything has mysterious properties, which means that nothing has mysterious properties.

The reason why a mystery is a mystery must have something 'special'. If everything is equal, then the mystery cannot be established.

Therefore, they must be discussed in categories here.

Objectively, everything in the fate world is mysterious.

But, subjectively speaking, because everything is a mystery and nothing has ‘something special’, everything is not a mystery.

So, continuing to start from the subjective point of view, on the basis of this world where "everything is a mystery and nothing is a mystery", how can "mystery" be born?

The answer is - by humans.

What humans consider ‘mysterious’.

Then that thing is ‘mystery’.

It's that simple and crude.

What do you mean by the human species, the strongest race in the universe, with unlimited unconscious creative abilities?

In the final analysis, the vast majority of human beings do not know that everything is the outflow of the source, and they do not know that they are actually a part of the mystery that makes up the world.

Because I don’t know, I default to not being mysterious, so I lose mysteries subjectively.

In this case, the mystical manifestation was initially more of a primal cult.

For example - the light and sound of wonder and thunder, so through primitive worship, the human species created the 'Divinity of Thunder God' - the 'mystery' called 'Thunder God'.

Objectively speaking, there are no "originally existing gods" in the fate world. All gods are created by human beings' thinking.

on the other hand.

As long as people realize that there is no "Thunder God" in thunder, and that the essence of thunder is just a natural phenomenon, then the belief in thunder will naturally plummet. When people no longer think that thunder is a "mystery", thunder will become a "mystery" from human beings. The 'mysterious power' gained will disappear.

And this is the principle of Sherlock Holmes's "Explainer" power.

He is not called a "fantasy killer" in the literal sense. He "debases" the mystery through the act of "elucidation", and ultimately achieves the result of "killing the fantasy".

If analyzed from this perspective, Holmes can be said to be the literal ‘Fantasy Killer’ himself.

then.

When Helena tried to give [Any Door] - that is, [Space Navigation] technology to all organizations and human individuals in the world fairly and equally, the Magicians Association (only the Clock Tower, excluding Wandering Sea and Atlas) Siyuan, because both of them have the technology to travel to other dimensions) sent out all-out pursuit.

The Magicians Association back then was not the puppet of several major families now. It was not reduced to a situation where there was a rebellion and several major families refused to contribute. The Magicians Association itself could only send mercenaries to suppress it on its behalf (except for Elmer). Luo II can rely on favors to call the students in El-Melloi's classroom for support, but the Magicians Association cannot mobilize students).

Although if I have to say it, the current Magicians Association can be regarded as stronger than before, because to oppose the current Magicians Association, although the association itself is an empty shell, but on the other hand, it is directly against the thousands or even tens of thousands of years behind it. Famous families compete.

During the Sherlock Holmes era, because of the dividends from the British Empire, the Magic Association once grew to the point where it could interfere with the major families while they were checking and balancing each other.

It's about to take off.

Helena appeared, and she wanted to spread the top mysterious technology to everyone. The reason was simply that she believed that there was no essential difference between magic and science. In fact, all the old magicians knew that this was not the case. There is no secret, but it is clear that if you do this, it will destroy our jobs.

Helena was naturally attacked by a group of people, and the Magician Association also planned to establish its authority by killing this contemporary 'magician'.

After all, although Helena has reached the realm of magic in research, she is not a magician who uses intuition and sensibility to drive magic power. Her combat ability is limited, and she is not good at fighting.

The Magic Association feels that it has a great advantage.

The Magicians Association went up.

Then, the Magician's Guild was ambushed by an unnamed Sherlock Holmes, a friend of Sir Conan Doyle who was cheering them on, and was wiped out in the Himalayas along with a large amount of regular supplies.

Although Helena eventually died at the hands of her Indian adopted son, the Magician's Association did plummet as a result, and was completely sidelined by the intervention of several major families.

Ironically, due to the decline of the Magician's Association, the Clock Tower had to repeatedly open up opportunities to admit ordinary people into the world of magic to learn, which in turn made magic more and more prosperous. The magic system based on looking back to the past has been replaced by new blood. With the continuous influx of magic systems, more and more future-oriented new magic systems have been established and developed.

As magic becomes more and more prosperous, magicians lament that modern society has arrived in the "Apocalyptic Age" - what? You said that the more open and modern we become, the more monster-level talents will become available?

What's the use of making money and ensuring status if you can't rely on this? If I say it’s the end of the law, then it’s the end of the law. If you don’t agree, the Taxation Bureau of the Law and Politics Section will come to inspect your home!

It can be said that Sherlock Holmes himself may not have this intuition, but he is indeed the one who opened the door to a new "Apocalyptic Age" where magic is prosperous.

The Magicians Association naturally hates him.

But - because of this, the Magicians Association may be the one who knows best how to kill Holmes.

Holmes's attack was indeed clean and tidy.

But there was one person left behind, a person he knew was a hidden danger but could not kill.

Helena's adopted son, a certain Indian boy who was the hawk of the Magicians Association at that time.

Because of Helena's plea, Holmes could only watch helplessly as he killed Helena, and could only put him back without eradicating the roots.

Although until Holmes died in seclusion, the Magicians Association, which had plummeted, was unable to take revenge on him.

But the secret of Sherlock Holmes’s ability, the ‘Elucidator’, is no longer a secret in the Magician’s Association.

In the previous London chapter, the arrogant Kenneth was unwilling to go to London because he knew that there really was a Sherlock Holmes in that era.

He is a veritable nemesis of magicians, a literal fantasy killer, and the infamous 'Anti-Mage' in the world of magic.

But the other way around.

He just restrained the magicians who played with the mystery.

Although his physical fitness is as strong as that of a monster due to the awakening of his origin power, he cannot compare to the real monsters - the heroes of the mythical age.

For example, when a hero like Sigurd faces Holmes, he only needs to use his overwhelming physical advantage to rush in front of him and punch him. Even with the invincible Barton Technique, Holmes will be disabled even if he is not dead.

right.

‘Physical attack’.

Mysterious powers are not the only ones in this world that are lethal.

It's not like magic really doesn't work on Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes can kill fantasy, but he can't do anything about the natural phenomena caused by the power of fantasy.

He can eliminate the high temperature caused by magic, but he cannot extinguish the curtains that are ignited by the high temperature of magic.

Therefore, Lu Mingfei allowed the superpowers in the "Scientific Railgun" series of stories to appear.

It was a world with the theme of ‘superpowers of science’.

Among the six of the seven Level 5 superpowers in Academy City, except for someone ranked seventh, the remaining five embody this theme.

They will use superpowers to fight, but not directly with the ability itself, but with "the ability to interfere with the physical phenomena caused by reality" to fight.

For example, the railgun Misaka Mikoto's ability is to use electric shock, but her main fighting method is to create various kinetic energy weapons by interfering with magnetic fields to fight.

'Atomic Collapse' Mugino Shiri's ability is to 'turn electrons into particles or waveforms and continue to release them in their pure electron form'. In other words, it is the ability to interfere with 'electrons' to a certain extent. Actually For combat applications, it is the beam bombardment of the 'Particle Machine Waveform High Speed ​​Cannon'.

'Weiyuan matter' Kakine Teitoku creates various substances that do not exist in this world, and then uses the physical phenomena caused by those substances - 'vacuum blade', 'beam dispersion', 'solar storm' Wait to attack.

‘Accelerator’. Because the original work didn’t know the real name, only the nickname, and even the gender was unknown, so the one Lu Mingfei used his own impression to connect was the female version of Yuriko Suzuka.

Suzuko Yuriko's ability is vector manipulation. Vectors are directional quantities, also known as vectors in mathematics, and vectors in physics are directional physical quantities. To put it in layman's terms, Suzuko Yuriko can manipulate All 'directions' that one comes into contact with.

The most basic application is to reflect attacks from all physical phenomena.

In the battle with Holmes, the main force was undoubtedly Misaka Mikoto and Kakine Teito, the two superpowers who are best at creating destructive physical phenomena. The task assigned by Lu Mingfei to Accelerator was to assist - using her abilities Distort the surrounding 'light' and 'air' to hide the positions and voices of other superpowers, and avoid the light of the interpreter that Holmes constantly releases from his body.

Although it is an assistant, this is something that only Accelerator who can perform meticulous operations can do.

Although Mugino Shenri is also good at destruction, she is stuck in the middle position because she cannot control her abilities accurately. Lu Mingfei asked her to be responsible for releasing atomic collapse bombardment for 'defense' and shooting down the magic power that Holmes continued to release. Barrage and magic bombardment.

More specifically——

"So why do I, who is neither good at fighting nor good at sports, come here!?"

She is responsible for protecting the iron sand hiding in Misaka Mikoto, Accelerator's light refraction, Kakine Teito's ultrasonic vibration, and Mugino Shinri's atom-destroying bombardment, holding her head and shivering behind the iron sand. 'Psychological Control' Shokuhou Pray.

Of course, her ability cannot be used on Holmes and has no effect at all.

No one had time to answer her question.

Although Lu Mingfei pulled out a group of 'scientific superpowers' who were theoretically the least restrained by Holmes, they were still unable to cause any harm to Holmes.

In the face of this group of scientific superpowers, as long as there is no direct hit, the light of the interpreter cannot take effect. It can kill illusions, but it cannot affect various physical phenomena caused by superpowers.

However, whether it was a railgun or a non-substance, almost all attacks failed to cause damage after hitting Holmes.

This is not because of the effect of the interpreter.

But - the body he is using now, the power of a magical girl.

One of the basic magic effects derived from the gift ‘Kaleidoscope Wand Sapphire’ handmade by the Demon Marshal Gemstone - ‘Physical Immunity’.

That's right.

Sherlock Holmes is not strong because the Knower has obvious weaknesses, but it would be different if Sherlock Holmes was also a magical girl in addition to the Knower's powers.

If you want to deal with the interpreter, you must use physical attacks - this is the answer given by the Magicians Association.

Of course Holmes himself knew this very well.

So before he challenged Lu Mingfei to a duel, he first obtained this body, the body of the magical girl Sapphire Emiya Miyu.

It can be said to be perfect——

Anyway, Percival couldn't figure out how to fight.

"No, it's not perfect. The Explainer actually has two flaws, which even a magical girl transformation cannot make up for."

Lu Mingfei's words stunned Percival next to him.

"Are there any other flaws? Or two?"

"That's right."

The first flaw.

Holmes's interpreter skill is controllable, not uncontrollable. He can selectively choose which mysteries to kill and which mysteries to keep.

"Isn't this an advantage?!" Percival felt that the advantages of his brain cells were not enough.

Is this the Master of Chaldea?

Are all Chaldean Masters monsters? ?

And the first flaw that Lu Mingfei mentioned is coming soon.

Faced with the continuous attacks of physical phenomena by superpowers and the ability of the interpreter to be constantly circumvented, Holmes naturally changed his mind.

Not using the power of [Detective].

Instead, use the power of [Magical Girl]!

Use the magic wand to continuously extract magic power from the different dimensional space, and use the purest magic power to bombard all the superpowers and sweep the entire venue together!

--but

"The opportunity has come!"

Lu Mingfei said so.

Holmes can choose not to destroy certain illusions.

On the other hand, when Holmes himself has some kind of fantasy attack, that fantasy attack is the target that the interpreter cannot take effect.

Face the magic bombardment of Sherlock Holmes.

In front of the shivering Shokuhou Misaki, a short-haired girl who looked like a magician from a Japanese fantasy world suddenly emerged from the iron sand.

These iron sands are also mixed with clones of Lu Mingfei's multiple shadow clone technique and superimposed transformation technique!

The name of the magician girl is Megumin!

"Blessings to a wonderful world!" "The great magician of the Red Demon Clan!"

The girl raised her staff high: "My name is——"

Lu Mingfei: "I'll introduce myself later, Huihui, please hurry up and work for me!"

Megumin's self-introduction was forcibly interrupted.

The female magician girl starts casting spells!

"Darker than black, pitch black darker than darkness -"

Lu Mingfei: "Skip all the singing content!"

But was interrupted again.

Megumin, with the word "reluctance" written all over her face, faced the magic bombardment of the magical girl Sherlock Holmes and unleashed her own bombardment!

"——[Explosion (explosion)]!!!"

A violent collision of pure and powerful magic!

Are you trying to suppress Holmes through this? Parcival became attentive.

However, Lu Mingfei, who had long since transformed into someone, said

"The second fatal flaw, which is also the flaw that will lead to my next victory, is at this moment!"

Transform into the strongest warrior!

The one who can defeat the "mind" of the magical girl Sherlock Holmes at this time is the strongest hero who can defeat Sherlock Holmes, as Aria said before.

Its name is - ‘Sato Kazuma’!

Transforming into Sato Kazuma Lu Akihiro, Misaka Mikoto lifted the iron sand from under her feet and jumped down from her hiding place - the 'mezzanine' of the Iron Curtain made of iron sand in the sky! Raid this battlefield!

He raised his hand, pointed his palm at the blue magical girl who was fighting against Megumin, and activated the skill!

"--【theft】!!!"

The third flaw of Sherlock Holmes’s interpreter is——
