Only the purest flame can refine such a meteorite, completely remove those useless impurities, and reveal the "culprit" hidden within...

Soon, the basketball-sized meteorite developed considerable cracks in the hands of the person who first entered the Kthugya mode. Pieces of black impurities kept falling from his hands to the ground like broken biscuits. However, the sounds of shattering and collision did not attract anyone's attention. As soon as the sounds were made, they were covered by the surrounding wind.

"it's time......"

Duanmu Ye slowly raised his head. The colorful light band that seemed to be connected to the void had returned to calm under the interference of the flames, leaving only the spherical embryo hidden in the meteorite.

However, the three-inch sphere should have been transparent, but it seemed that it was contaminated by the moisture in the clouds when it fell, causing the sphere that should have been transparent to become solid. The slight cracks on it seemed to be the source of the starlight before, but under the interference of Cthugha's "flame" that could not be understood by common sense, the broken crack was sealed.

The embryos that had not been fully hatched naturally did not have any star-colored larvae emerging from them, but Duanmu Ye could feel that in his hands, some of the embryos that looked like plant fruits and some like colorful stones seemed to have some kind of creatures wriggling in them. However, because they had lost their original transparency, the completely blackened fruits had lost some of their visual impact.

Duanmu Ye took a deep breath and used his previous experience to calculate the maximum time of the Kthugya mode that could be used at the moment. The final result was only three minutes of non-consumption of the concept of existence.

This power is different from the madness brought by Hastur. Every time it is used, it is enough to be considered self-destructive for Duanmu Ye, because it is not only burning his own memories, but also the concept of existence. The concept of existence here is also burning.

Duanmu Ye wasn't sure how long he could hold on, but he knew that no matter which worldview he was in, what would happen if he lost the concept of "existing here" would be far from the otherworldly version of invisibility, the common routine that no one could notice.

In a race against time, Duanmu Ye did try to use abilities other than this power, but neither the power from Hastur that was still stinging his upper body, nor the spiritual clothes that seemed to be transformed by the power of the "Faceless Walker", could suppress the spread of the starlight.

If you want to use the Star Color as your weapon, you cannot let its power spread unscrupulously and affect factors that should not be affected.

Although no one on this island is innocent in this era, outside the flames, on the outskirts of the army base, there is Li Shuwen who is doing cleaning work, and Lan Lanfang who resolutely sneaks in here and participates in this Holy Grail War despite the possibility of death.

Even a character like Van Gogh, who was an Advent Servant, was affected by the Starlight. Duanmu Ye couldn't imagine what would happen if there wasn't this layer of flame mixed with the power of Cthugha as a barrier to prevent the Starlight's ability from causing some damage to the surrounding environment.

Looking around, one sees a scene of a post-apocalyptic wasteland under flames. Even if Star Color wants to transform the surrounding environment, it needs living things and organic matter to do so. Looking at the entire area, only here are there traces of biological activity.

Although Fujimiya Jiujiu is also an ordinary person, she was resurrected with the help of her own flesh and blood, so she can no longer be considered a normal human being. As for Akasei Zouzhang... Duanmu Ye thought, a guy who can almost be called a dead person, there is no big problem, right?

While thinking, Duanmu Ye had already grabbed the only fruit and wrapped it with the flesh and blood on his palm to prevent it from being burned by the flames all over his body, which had now completely entered the Ketugeya mode.

"Timer...start..."

The three-minute countdown is the time with the least consumption of calculation, and five minutes is when you need to start consuming concepts, adding up step by step, and gradually increasing the degree of consumption.

Duanmu Ye didn't want to suffer such a thing, but he was helpless. He had clearly not been restricted in this way when he used the power of Cthugha before. Could it be because the spell that summoned him was given by Yog-Sothoth?

Or maybe it was because his opponent at the time wasn't some insignificant figure like Okita Souji or Oda Nobunaga, but Nya Latotep...

His figure suddenly flashed in Duanmu Ye's mind, making him feel an inexplicable chill even though his whole body was burning.

However, this time, Naya Latotep did not interfere, nor did he explicitly set his eyes on Duanmu Ye, which made Duanmu Ye slightly relieved. However, it was still difficult for him to accept the fact that he had inexplicably added a spiritual garment that he had never seen before...

If it really was Nyar-Latotep who was watching over him, and had given him strength at just the right moment, using the myths and history of this world to weave a spiritual garment created by his power, and had provided him with help at the most fortuitous time...

Just thinking about the laughing face of Nia Ratotep behind him, Duanmu Ye's heart couldn't help but skip a beat and his body couldn't help but shudder.

Having thought of this, Duanmu Ye no longer had the idea of ​​stopping. In less than a second, his figure had already appeared between Oda Nobunaga and Okita Souji.

The katana, which had been fighting for who knows how many rounds, did not become dull due to the many collisions and devastating blows. On the contrary, Oda Nobunaga and Okita Souji both enjoyed this hard-won battle because of the equal strength of both sides, and enjoyed this rivalry that seemed to have lasted for a very long time and had no end in sight.

Duanmu Ye had seen enough of the mutual respect between the two of them. Now, what Duanmu Ye wanted to see was the scene of their exit.

"You bastard...you come to disturb my fun again, you lingering thing, you are such an eyesore!"

The Demon King Nobunaga naturally knew who Duanmu Ye was in front of him. She had seen him fighting with the real Oda Nobunaga who was summoned from this world behind the scenes, and she had gradually analyzed the opponent's fighting style and abilities. The values ​​she obtained were more accurate than those of Oda Nobunaga himself.

That flame seemed to be the nemesis of the Servant who used magic, but in fact, his power also had a considerable degree of weakness. The Demon Lord Nobunaga was very clear about it. He only needed to delay time and let his state fall into a state of self-destruction like before. Then, there would be no need for her to do anything next time, and the opponent would collapse on his own.

Even more so, as time went on, the other party would surely become even more anxious than himself, and he would only need to wait for him to gradually become disordered and irritable. At that time, he would definitely seek a way to stabilize his body, just like before, seize the opportunity when he transformed back into human form, and then fire the bullet that was enough to destroy the gods and Buddhas...

In contrast to the Demon God Nobunaga, the interrupted Okita Souji Alter did not show any anger, as if all emotions had been completely destroyed, leaving only the calmness that should be maintained when leading the enemy. Even this calmness can be said to be indifference to a certain extent.

Feeling the completely different reactions from both sides, Duanmu Ye couldn't help but feel a little helpless, especially Okita Souji Alter's reaction, which best represented the final fate of those who work with inhibition. Whether it was her, Emiya, or even Arthur, they were all such tough characters with some abnormalities...

Duanmu Ye, who was standing in the middle and separating the two, did not act in a hurry. He knew what the smile of the Demon King Nobunaga meant, and he also knew why Okita Souji Alter was keeping his troops inactive.

Whether it is Demon King Nobunaga or Okita Souji Alter, they all hope to complete self-destruction in such a mode. In this way, she can win without fighting, she can break away from control and threats and solve the troubles that should be solved.

Duanmu Ye knew it, and he also needed time. Even though he had been thinking so much and waiting for such a long time, the actual time that had passed should not exceed twenty seconds. It took less than a blink of an eye to get here from the battlefield on the other side hundreds of meters away.

"Pretend to be a ghost!"

As expected, Demon King Nobunaga was the first to lose his patience. Although her plan was to waste time and delay the war, she was not the kind of person who could easily keep her composure.

The tug of war over time would certainly allow her to defeat the enemy in front of her most reliably. After all, his existence was still somewhat unknown. Even Miyamoto Musashi had never defeated him. So, as a demon king who was slightly stronger than Miyamoto Musashi, she would definitely not be defeated as easily as she was, nor would she need to resort to sneak attacks to create the possibility of victory like her.

The mysterious ultimate matchlock gun in his hand burst into flames in an instant, and the grenade mixed in it naturally had the ability to specifically attack "mystery" and "divinity".

The grenade, which was powerful enough to threaten even gods and Buddhas, made Okita Souji Alter frown. In the close combat just now, she had not seen the Demon Lord Nobunaga use such an attack on her.

Perhaps it was because he had always been using close combat, and when the Demon King Nobunaga wanted to take out his arquebus, he used swordsmanship to block him in advance, which prevented the Demon King Nobunaga from using this kind of attack on him...

However, the moment such an attack was released, the Demon King Nobunaga realized that such an attack would definitely not have any effect.

Therefore, when the smoke from the explosion gradually dissipated, or even when it had not dissipated yet, with the help of this natural cover, the figure of the Demon King Nobunaga appeared in front of Duanmu Ye, and the Wujie Bifang in his hand also cut through the magic power of the explosion at this moment, just to split Duanmu Ye behind the explosion into two halves.

Before this, the Demon King's sword had not been drawn out, so naturally it had not been tested whether it could break the shell of the flame, but a sword that emits flames itself can naturally cut through the flames. Even though this flame is extremely annoying, the Demon King Nobunaga does not think that his sword cannot even break the opponent's defense.

A crisp collision sound was heard in the center. It happened in just ten seconds, but it made Yang Yuhuan, who was lying in the trench with half of her head and eyes exposed, feel unprecedented pressure.

Immediately afterwards, a substantial wave rolled up from the ground. If the previous battle between Demon King Nobunaga and Okita Souji only produced an intense heat wave, then the wind and waves that rolled up the ground at this moment were a substantial attack that could destroy everything in its path.

Yang Yuhuan, who witnessed all this, immediately retracted her head, but the fast-moving wind and waves still left her hair tied up on top of her head, destroying her high bun and making her hair disheveled.

The long black hair emitted a faint blue glow under the reflection of the flames. She was obviously a young girl, but when she let her hair down to cover her shoulders, she looked a little mature and a little different.

No one noticed that Yang Yuhuan was acting strangely at the moment. Neither Van Gogh, who was in a deep sleep, nor Fujimiya Jiujiu, who was in a trance, noticed that Yang Yuhuan was hugging her legs with her hands with her hair disheveled.

Duanmu Ye, the one who should have noticed the abnormality here the most at this moment, was using the embryo of the Star Color as a shield to block the endless attack from the Demon King Nobunaga, while revealing a slight smile in the flames.

This smile was completely drawn with deeper flames on the dark figure. The strange picture made the Demon King Nobunaga, who was waving the sword in front of him, stunned for a moment. Then, she felt some strange touch on her blade.

Something seemed to be breaking, something seemed to be wriggling, but no matter what it was, she subconsciously wanted to avoid it, even hiding very far away...

"Want to run? It's too late!"

In an instant, some brilliance that could not be described in words emerged from the blade, and the scene that was like releasing Pandora's box made the Demon King Nobunaga's heart skip a beat.

He quickly turned backwards, retreating dozens of meters and creating enough distance. However, the Demon King Nobunaga still found that his body seemed to be undergoing some special changes...

Biwa, Flame, Sun: Chapter 52: Susanoo? You fired it first!

“You, what did you do?!”

He raised the sword in his hand and pointed it at the figure who had been standing there without moving at all. In his hand, there seemed to be some strange power spreading out.

Even as that power continued to spread, the Demon King Nobunaga could feel that the same power in his body was interfering with his earth spirit base.

Why is this happening?

What happened? !

The Demon King Nobunaga kept stumbling back. She felt that her body seemed to be undergoing some unusual changes, even her spiritual base was undergoing changes that absolutely could not be ignored.

The pupils of Demon Lord Nobunaga kept shaking, and her consciousness seemed to have never been shaken like this before. Even in the previous battle with Okita Souji Alter, she was repeatedly prevented by the opponent from using the arquebus to launch sneak attacks. The movement that could almost accurately predict all her actions had never made her feel so shaken.

At this moment, the Demon King Nobunaga couldn't help but wonder whether some kind of change had taken place in his spirit in this extremely short period of time, causing him to undergo a drastic change at this moment, even though he should have been able to deal with everything calmly.

An emotion called "fear" quietly crept into his heart, but for the Demon King Nobunaga, as the collection of all the possibilities of Oda Nobunaga, and himself who was called the most perfect and powerful "Oda Nobunaga", the emotion of fear did not exist from the beginning and could not exist.

But now, she was indeed afraid of something, was it that man, or the fruit in his hand that was emitting a little light?

"A...Archer?"

"Shut up!"

From the very beginning of the battle, Asama, who had been thrown into a completely safe place by the Demon Lord Nobunaga and had been observing the battlefield, wanted to do something at this moment, hoping to help Nobunaga, who had saved him, to some extent...

However, she had just opened her mouth when she was stopped by the scolding of Demon Lord Nobunaga. Asama shrank back and felt a little aggrieved, but she soon realized the emotions hidden behind the scolding.

It was an emotion she had never felt from Lord Nobunaga before, an emotion called "fear"...

But how could the invincible Lord Nobunaga feel fear?!

"Yes, let me ask you, is there anything strange in that fire man's hand?!"

She forced herself to calm herself down. The slightly trembling and indifferent voice of Demon Lord Nobunaga came into her mind. The question she received through telepathy made Asana cheer herself up again and look at the battlefield ahead. Even though it was very far away from her position, so far that it was difficult to observe with ordinary naked eyes, she could still observe it roughly through the amplification of magic.

"No, no..."

"No?! How is that possible!"

Demon Lord Nobunaga gritted his teeth. He could already feel that his spirit had undergone some changes due to the interference of the fruit-like item. Many emotions and thoughts that he had never noticed before were coming to him like a tide.

Even the hand holding Wujie was no longer as firm as it was at the beginning due to the constant flow of inexplicable emotions, but gradually began to shake.

Such a reality is a little difficult for the Demon King Nobunaga, whose vision has even changed slightly, to accept. What is even more unacceptable is the lie that Asana told him.

The fire man was clearly holding some special tool in his hand, something that could stir up others' emotions and disrupt their minds, yet how come when it came to Asama Kaname's mouth, there was nothing there?!

Asama was trying to deceive herself, and the Demon King Nobunaga felt unprecedented anger, but she herself did not know what anger was...

However, at this moment, Asama Yo could not see anything in his hands. He could only rely on rough magic skills to observe the battlefield a few hundred meters away. In the already blurry picture, Asama Yo had tried his best to check the object in the hands of the humanoid creature burning with flames.

However, all she could see was an empty palm.

She couldn't explain anything to Lord Nobunaga at the moment. As Lord Nobunaga's Master for a long time, Asama knew that Lord Nobunaga believed more in what he saw with his own eyes than in what others said in his ears.

Therefore, Asama Kaname, whose life was saved by Lord Nobunaga, had no intention of resisting. Even if he was scolded by the Demon King Nobunaga or even if he was distrusted by the Demon King Nobunaga, Asama Kaname had no intention of refutating his opinions.

Since Lord Nobunaga said so, there must be a reason for it!

"Lord Nobunaga, I give the order with the Command Seal. Show them your full glory! This is the only thing a weak like me can do for you!"

At this moment, the light of the Command Seal flickered on the back of the right hand, and the radiance of magic responded to both Demon King Nobunaga and Asama Kaname at the same time, especially Demon King Nobunaga. At the moment when the Command Seal was used, it seemed that because of the blessing of the Holy Grail, the concentration of magic power on her body was so high that the particles could almost be captured with the naked eye compared to Asama Kaname.

Witnessing all this, Okita Souji Alter glanced at Fujimiya Kujuku in the distance. Her eyes were still dull and she seemed to be unable to do anything. The images of Asama Kaname and the Demon King Nobunaga shining with magical light appeared in her mind again. For some reason, Okita Souji felt a little envious at this moment.

Such emotions were quickly extinguished by herself the moment they appeared, and her eyes, which had become cold again, no longer looked at Fujimiya Jiujiu's position. As the agent of restraint, emotions would only affect the speed of her sword swinging. Nothing else was more important than destroying the target.

Duanmu Ye, who also felt the emotional fluctuations coming from behind and was almost at the same frequency as the surrounding flames that were contaminated with the power of Kthugya, was extremely calm.

The range of Star Color's ability was locked in this fire scene that was isolated from the outside world. The mental degeneration and physical mutation were completely intertwined together, especially when the Demon King Nobunaga took the initiative to use the undisaster-free other side to open this Pandora's box himself, and was directly contaminated or even touched it. Perhaps she herself did not realize that her body had undergone some changes.

The hand holding the knife was not shaking because of fear. On the contrary, it was because a considerable change had already occurred in the dark glove. Perhaps it would not be long before the black glove would break and reveal its twisted appearance.

Duanmu Ye didn't care about this, and he wasn't even worried about the impact of the magic power given to the Demon King Nobunaga by the Command Spell on restoring the Starlight.

As we all know, the way to deal with the evil god is still the evil god. Duanmu Ye does not think that it is feasible to help the Demon King Nobunaga restore his state to his original state simply through the existence of the Command Spell, and to avoid the mutation of the Star Color by resetting the spiritual base.

Judging from Van Gogh's performance, if she did not have a state similar to extreme containment as a template, the degree of mutation would not just be like an inflated humanoid jellyfish, but a more varied and bizarre result.

At this moment, Demon King Nobunaga was once again filled with magical power under the interference of the Command Spell. Perhaps only she herself knew that under the mental interference just now, she could not try to mobilize the magic power in the Holy Grail. It felt like the fingerprint login system suddenly failed to recognize and authenticate for some reason, and there was no way to try to control the magic power accumulated in the Holy Grail.

But the Demon King Nobunaga had to admit that after using the magic power of the Command Seal, his chaotic thoughts and state showed signs of gradually recovering under the blessing of the Command Seal.

I don't know when the hunched body slowly stood up at this moment. Although the body should have been very tall and almost at the same level as the other person, or even a little higher than the other person's line of sight, it seemed to be a little shorter at the moment when it stood up again.

Demon King Nobunaga, who was used to high visibility, did not notice anything. It could even be said that he did not realize that his body shape had changed slightly. After all, he was not much lower than before. Demon King Nobunaga thought that his condition was not as good as before, so there was a slight visual difference that was almost negligible.

He gripped the hilt of the sword again, as if exerting all his strength and concentration, the figure of the Demon King Nobunaga turned into a shadow and disappeared in front of Duanmu Ye.

And this was the result obtained just after a blink of an eye, when the afterimage began to disappear.

Quick, very quickly...

The wind blew the flames on Duanmu Ye's body, and the figure of the Demon King Nobunaga appeared in the blind spot on the left side of his body in just an instant. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was at the extreme position behind the left.

But Duanmu Ye raised his hand and punched to the right rear, and the figure of the Demon King Nobunaga fell backwards at the same time.

The huge impact once again swept the surface filled with ashes and dust. For the Demon King Nobunaga, who fell to the ground and slowed down by inserting his fingers into the ground, this scene was an unacceptable reality.

How...did he do that?

This technique had never been used before in any battle with anyone, not even Okita Souji. It was a double layer of magical phantoms that hid the viewer's presence. Whether it was reactions or anything else, it was a completely identical "shadow" to his own. Logically, it shouldn't have been so easily detected...

Facing the opponent who had become particularly difficult for some reason, Demon King Nobunaga looked at Okita Souji who was standing beside him. On her face, Demon King Nobunaga saw some impatience, and the corners of her mouth gradually rose at this moment.

"Why don't we team up and take him out, and your Master can get what she wants."

This was a separate communication channel established through the Holy Grail. It seemed as if Okita Souji was deliberately allowed to hear such words of inquiry, causing Okita Souji to close his eyes and fall into thought, as if he was rejecting the Demon Lord Nobunaga.

They are enemies, inseparable enemies and rivals that can be traced back to many possibilities and many parallel worlds.

Even in this time and space, she was still ordered to prioritize eliminating the Demon Lord Nobunaga, even though she could reject the orders and restrictions from the Command Seals through her high level of magic resistance, and even though as the agent of restraint, she could ignore the constraints of the Command Seals and do what she should do.

But she remembered, she remembered Fujimiya Kujuku and the unconscious Akasei Zoujo who she didn't even know if he was still alive, and her previous self who was summoned in this time and space.

Normally, she shouldn't let her emotions get the better of her, but this time was obviously different. She had to think about Fujimiya Kujuku and Akasei Zoujou...

Seeing that there was no answer, Demon King Nobunaga did not get angry, but rushed towards Duanmu Ye's position again at an extremely fast speed, and then was knocked away.

Time passed by minute by minute, but in fact, only less than a minute had passed, but the recovered Demon King Nobunaga was once again covered in wounds.

When Asama raised her arm again, she was no longer as healthy as before. Her weakness was fully evident in her body. Even when she raised her right hand, she paused for a moment and did not say what she wanted to say immediately.
