Volume 14 Bloodthirsty Attack Chapter 038 Discovered
Both Akatsuki Kojou and Himerahira Setsuna were a little surprised that Astaruddi issued a warning.
We are clearly enemies, so why are you warning me? Do you want them to give up?
But they won't leave so easily.
Himeragi Setsuna changed the way she held the gun, not to remain on guard, but to shift into a posture that would allow her to strike first.
However, Astaruddy seemed not to notice Himeragi Setsuna's actions. She maintained a calm expression and said slowly: "This island will sink soon. Please escape before then. Escape as far as possible..."
Having watched the plot, Emiya certainly knew what Astralute meant by this sentence.
However, without watching the plot, Setsuna Himeragi and Kojou Akatsuki, who are in the middle, don’t quite understand.
"The island will... sink? What does this mean...!" Akatsuki Kojou asked in confusion, and at the same time a creepy feeling ran up his spine.
"This island floats in the South China Sea, where dragon veins intersect. It is a place that disappears in an instant. If you lose it, you will be doomed..."
However, Astralude did not give a clear explanation, but instead wove poetic sentences.
Good job!
Emiya, who was watching the development of the plot, exclaimed, "Wow!"
I didn't expect that Astraluti, the artificial life form, is also an old riddler.
At this moment, Emiya really wanted to yell at the Riddler to get out of Gotham, but he thought about it carefully and realized that this is Gengami Island, and Astaruti is not the Riddler.
So forget it.
While Setsuna Himeragi and Kojou Akatsuki obviously could not understand the meaning, they thought that the conversation with Astralute seemed to contain some important information.
Unfortunately, before they could find out what the intelligence was...
Behind Astaroute, a burly figure slowly appeared.
It was a large man wearing a solemn robe and armored reinforced suit. This man was none other than the teacher of the Lotanlingchia, Rudolf Ostach.
He lowered his head coldly, looking at Astralude who seemed to be looking back at him with fear.
However, he did not reprimand Astralude because there was no doubt about that.
In his eyes, Astraluti was nothing more than a tool, and scolding a tool would only make him look lowly.
So he just came up with a riddle.
"——That's right. What we sought was the immortal treasure that is held . And now, I have obtained the power to fulfill my long-cherished wish. Sword wizard of the Lion King Organization, all this is thanks to you."
There is no doubt that when faced with Rudolph's riddle, Himeragi Setsuna also showed a confused expression.
Can these people talk properly?
However, Xiao Gucheng beside her seemed to understand something, "You said... you gained power? Are you referring to the thing that was put into that girl's body?"
"Oh, have you been discovered? I'll give you a compliment, you are worthy of being the Fourth True Ancestor. But even if you are, you are not our enemy. There is no obstacle in front of us."
“Are you kidding me—!”
Xiao Gucheng shouted angrily, and his violent aura shook the quiet air in the research institute.
He looked at Rudolph angrily, the rage in his eyes almost burning the teacher to ashes, "Uncle, it was you who transplanted the beast into that girl's body!"
Himeragi Setsuna was shocked violently. After hearing what Akatsuki Kojou said, she finally realized the appearance of the strange creatures floating in the culture tank on both sides of Astaruddi.
Twisted creatures that resemble monsters and goblins and should not exist in this world.
Isn't that the result of letting the familiar parasitize the artificial life form?
In fact, Emiya discovered these things when he first came in, but he did not start studying them immediately. Instead, he began to study the spiritual center in Astralute's body.
That's because he considered the spiritual center to be more important.
On the other hand, Akatsuki Kojou started to have a verbal fight with Rudolph.
Akatsuki Kojou knew very well that only vampires could control their familiars.
Rudolph was also very aware of this, but it was precisely because he knew this that he used Astraluti as a prop, which made Akatsuki Kojou very unhappy.
Himeragi Setsuna also could not agree with Rudolf's behavior and even felt very angry.
But Rudolph looked at Himeragi Yukina happily, "Sword Wizard, why are you angry? Aren't you also a tool raised by the Lion King Organization?"
"This..." For a moment, Himeragi Setsuna was speechless.
"They bought unwanted babies with money, taught them the techniques to fight against demons, and then sent them to the battlefield. They treated them like disposable tools. Is this the Lion King's method? Sword wizard, what did you sacrifice to learn such anti-demon techniques at your age?"
Rudolf's words were very sharp, and they made Himeragi Setsuna feel cold all over. She bit her lips tightly without saying a word, and her face lost all color and turned pale.
However, Xiao Gucheng couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at him, "Shut up, uncle..."
There is no doubt that he is protecting his future wife.
But Rudolph was not going to pamper the Fourth True Ancestor, and continued without changing his expression:
"I use things that were created as tools as tools. You are reducing humans, who were born with God's blessing, to tools. Which side is more sinful?"
However, these words eventually touched Akatsuki Kojou's sore spot.
"I told you to shut up, you stinky monk——!"
The roaring Akatsuki Kojou was covered in bluish-white lightning.
His clenched right fist was emitting dazzling lightning. Akatsuki Kojou, who should be an ordinary high school student, seemed to have expanded several times due to the dense magic power he released.
This is the first time Akatsuki Kojou shows his authority as a vampire.
He used his own body as a medium to transform part of the magical power of his familiar into reality.
Originally, he wanted to vent his anger on Rudolf, but when the dazzling lightning scattered and one of the lightning was about to jump onto Emiya...
Shirou had to erect a barrier to block the dazzling lightning.
Logically speaking, with Shirou's strength, even if he took the lightning head-on, it would not hurt him at all.
However, at this time, Emiya was concentrating on building the spiritual center.
He didn't want to ruin his half-completed spiritual center just because of the lightning.
So Emiya had no choice but to take action.
However, as his barrier was formed, the three humans and one True Ancestor in the room immediately noticed something unusual.
"Who is it?" Himeragi Setsuna subconsciously pointed the Snow Wolf in her hand in the direction of Emiya.
Emiya sighed, removed his disguise, and showed himself in front of everyone.
“Yo.”
