Chapter 556: ·Everything returns to calm

Rin Tohsaka: "Add finally woke up, so that means the holy spear can be used."

Illya: "This makes it feel like Sir Kay is Add."

Waver: "Actually, it should be about the same."

【Gray: "Lend me your strength, Add!"】

【Add: "Sigh, no way, I'll only lend you a little! Don't cry!"】

【Gray: "That goes without saying!"】

【On the other side, Waver and the others were not idle.】

【Waver: "Flat, I have already transmitted the constructed formula to you via telepathy. If you want to interfere with the Logos React, this formula should be more efficient."】

【Flat: "Professor, is this, the content in Heartless's affinity map?"】

【Waver: "Yes, the theoretical part has been analyzed. With your ability, this should be enough, right?"】

【"As expected of the professor! Leave it to me! This is simply like a tiger with wings, like Mario eating a star, like karate with a boomerang!"】

【Flat stared at the fallen holy bird Hermes and grinned: "Okay, you wait for me!"】

【On Gray's side, she had already rushed towards the holy bird, jumped high before Hermes took off again, and shouted: "Add! Release the first stage limited application!"】

【Add: "Hee hee hee! This is your first time using that! Can you do it well!"】

【The scythe turned back into a box in an instant, and then turned into a huge boomerang.】

【However, Gray was not going to use it for throwing attacks, but to use it as a glider.】

【Although there is no way to fly too far, as long as you have enough run-up, it is possible to achieve a very short distance glide.】

Shishigou Kairi: "Using a boomerang as a glider, this operation is really six."

Kayneth: "It seems that this girl's brain is still quite flexible when fighting."

【Gray jumped onto Hermes' back in a panic, and the holy bird immediately sensed it, and a red sand spear formed on its back, shooting towards Gray.】

【Gray swung the scythe that had turned back and rushed straight forward.】

【She already knew where the target was, because she clearly saw a certain point on the holy bird's back when she descended.】

【Splitting the sand spear in front of her, Gray jumped up with all her strength and threw the short sword from mid-air.】

【Of course, doing so, the short sword can only stab into the epidermis, and it is impossible to pierce the holy bird's core, so...】

【Gray: "Release the first stage limited application, Battering Ram!"】

【Add transformed again, and this time it actually transformed into a huge battering ram.】

【This form originally belonged to multi-person operation, the prototype is naturally a siege weapon used to break through the city gate, and it is also Add's form with the highest attack power.】

Waver: "Good guy, battering ram! Can this thing be transformed?"

Shishigou Kairi: "I don't know if it can transform into a cannon."

Waver: "This should be impossible..."

【"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"】

【Gray used all her existing magic power, roaring and pushing the battering ram down.】

【The sand spear blocking the way was easily knocked away, and Gray's full-force blow successfully nailed the Inlaid Gold that stabbed into the epidermis.】

【Hermes shook violently, and this time it really fell down, and Gray was also thrown out at the same time.】

【And coincidentally, the place where the holy bird fell was exactly where Waver and the others were waiting.】

【Waver: "It's now, Flat!"】

【Flat: "Understood! Start interfering with Game. Select! Connect all circuits Circuit. FullConnect!"】

【The light with complex numbers and symbols swept across Flat's hands, Svin provided magic power supply for it, and provided support in terms of smell.】

【The light extended to the crystal ball and further turned into a mysterious chain, binding the holy bird.】

【However, the holy bird did not sit still and immediately began to struggle desperately. Another force began to flow backward on the chain.】

【At this moment, the balance of victory is swinging between Hermes and Flat and the others. The tight offensive and defensive battle invisible to the naked eye makes people feel that time has not passed.】

【Gray: "The winner will be..."】

【"That goes without saying. At the point of complete formalization, the outcome is decided."】

【Waver said calmly: "If you don't know the opponent's performance, you might be countered, but I basically figured it out during the first contact. In this case, my students can't possibly lose."】

【This is not setting a flag, but absolute confidence in his students and victory.】

【And the result is just as he said.】

【The holy bird collapsed, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire space.】

Rin Tohsaka: "Did they win?"

Shishigou Kairi: "It seems so."

Waver: "It's not seems, it's absolute. Stabbed by the Inlaid Gold, it couldn't last long at all."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "However, it is still a bit incredible that a group of students actually defeated one of the seven great weapons of the Atlas Academy."

Kayneth: "It should be that the Logos React is not a purely offensive weapon, and the future Waver and the others have thoroughly understood the other party's bottom line, so they were able to win."

Kiritsugu Emiya: "This is the importance of tactics and intelligence."

【The screen turned, outside.】

【It was near dusk, and it seemed that some time had passed since the battle ended.】

【At the foot of the mountain far from the village, Waver and his party and Zepia gathered here.】

【After the battle ended and they were teleported back from that space, everyone's mission finally ended. The aftermath was done by Zepia, and he also made several explanations.】

【According to him, the Atlas Contract, which stipulates that the Atlas Academy cannot interfere with this ritual until King Arthur is resurrected or it is judged that the contract cannot be fulfilled, continues to be executed.】

【The main reason for the problem this time was Gray's mother, and the Logos React, which cut off the connection with King Arthur's spirit, seems to be entering the self-diagnosis and repair stage, and should not start within a few years. Considering the interval of the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, there is no need to worry for the time being.】

【Of course, the most devout old woman in the village should not have given up yet, but even if she didn't give up, there was no way.】

Waver: "Phew, it's finally over, no more mistakes."

Rin Tohsaka: "Then Gray's mother and that fat priest, were they saved?"

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Keep watching, the answer should be there soon."

【Zepia stood in the shade of a tree and said to Gray: "Is it okay not to go see your mother?"】

【Gray: "Hmm, Mom is fine, right?"】

【Zepia: "Fine, because she and Priest Fernand were on the verge of death, after giving certain emergency treatment, I sent them together with Sister Ilumia to a hospital related to the Holy Church at the foot of the mountain. She is not in danger of life. The Holy Church does not know that your mother was your substitute, and her connection with the Skeleton King has also been broken, so she will not become a sample in the magus sense."】

【"As a result, no one in that village died. If you have to say it, the spirit of King Arthur, the Skeleton King, might be an exception, but she just returned to the inside of the Logos React as a spirit model. For an existence that only has a spirit, time is vague and undefined. The years she spent underground are no different from a short nap of a few minutes."】

【Gray: "Does Mom know that I am still alive?"】

【Zepia: "She should have received the message, after all, she was temporarily connected to the Logos React. Although an ordinary person's brain cannot accommodate even a fragment of that amount of information, she should have left the impression that you are still alive."】

【Gray: "That's good, as long as she knows I'm still alive, that's enough."】

【She can't go to reunite with her mother yet, because if she goes to visit the other party, the village is likely to get the news. In this way, the old woman and other believers are likely to do out-of-control behaviors.】

Rin Tohsaka: "Great, they are all alive."

Kayneth: "Hmm, very rational approach, not interfered with by emotions."

Shishigou Kairi: "Hmph, mother and daughter cannot meet, what kind of world is this."

【Waver: "The Knights or other organizations have no action at the current stage, which probably means that the Holy Church has not yet recognized this situation."】

【Svin: "Eh? People in the village disappeared for half a year, and there were representatives of the Holy Church, Sister Ilumia and Priest Fernand, is the Church's reaction so slow?"】

【Waver: "No, someone manipulated the information..."】

【Gray: "... Is it Heartless?"】

【"Who knows."】

【Waver didn't want to continue this topic and said: "Flat, Svin, can you go to check the situation in the town first? I think there should be no problem, but it would be troublesome if people from the Holy Church or other organizations come."】

【"Understood!"】

【After sending off the two students, Waver looked at Zepia again and said seriously: "There is one thing I am very concerned about, can I ask before we part?"】

【Zepia: "Is that so, what is it?"】

【Waver: "The rules in the village, I think the order is wrong."】

【"Those four rules are connected to the magic crest of the Grave Keeper. In other words, it can be seen as the regulations passed down by the Blackmore family that can be traced back to BC. However, the Black Madonna is probably derived from Morgan le Fay, and her era is AD. Since that is the case, what is the reason why the Black Madonna was included in the four rules of the Grave Keeper?"】

【Zepia: "This is not contradictory, it should be that someone added new rules in later generations."】

【Waver: "Yes, new magic will be recorded on the magic crest generation after generation, and I think this is very natural. However, the period when those four rules were added is unexpectedly not long ago, right? For example, hundreds of years ago, it was the same time as when you took office as the director of the Atlas Academy, right?"】

【Zepia: "... What do you want to say?"】

【Waver: "Contrary to the order just mentioned, I think the only one of the four rules that has been passed down since ancient times is the Black Madonna, and its purpose is to identify King Arthur's genes and efficiently increase the number of samples. That statue is also a Mystic Code at the same time. However, the other rules are actually unnecessary..."】 ===== CHAPTER 558 =====
