บท 108: Chapter 102
"As you all know, Mami can be said to be a gunner, because she uses a shotgun as a weapon. Angelise is a robot driver. And Chiffon's abilities are still unknown."
Fiona and the others nodded their heads.
"And as for the four new special pawns. First, Shinobu Kocho, she's a swordwoman and not only that, she's also an expert in poisons. So, for anyone who encounters this woman, don't get hit in the slightest. Because you might end up poisoned. Second, Asuka Langley Sohryu, she is like Angelise. She also uses a robot. But I can't figure out the capabilities of the robot she's uses. Third, Chifuyu Orimura, she is like Chiffon, but not as strong as Chiffon. However, she has an equipment called Infinite Stratos which I still can't figure out what it's abilities is. Lastly, Shizue Izawa, she's also a swordwoman. But this time she has the ability to control fire. She can also make fire from wherever she is wants. For now that's all I know. I will update everything in the battlefield."
Saeko and Aoi looked happy because they saw another swordwoman who could become their opponent. The others seemed to be considering things, especially Fiona. And Tarou and Youji were speechless because all this information was beyond their brain capacity.
"Huff... Why does there have to be one more robot?" Fiona looks complaining.
"Hahahaha... For the matter of the special pawn, I will divide all of you into teams. So don't complain like that. And for things that are outside of the plan, just leave everything to me."
Fiona gave up and just nodded her head.
"We better get ready now. We don't have much time left now."
After that, everyone left the room and prepared themselves. Tarou and Youji even though hey still couldn't believe everything they heard, but they kept preparing themselves and gave instructions to all SDF members to get ready.
Souichiro and Tadashi did the same. The two of them gave instructions to their members. Saeko and the others also immediately prepared themselves and they also had their own equipment on.
As for Yoru, he flew up and looked over the battlefield with Rias and company. Rias and company had also put on the equipment he had prepared, so they became the center of attention.
"Yoru, I don't see any zombies." Rias was a bit confused by what happened.
"Don't worry, I can sense some places that have quite a high concentration of mana. Maybe those places will be the point where they will appear."
"What do you mean? Are they will used teleport or gate?" Akeno said
"Maybe like that."
Yoru then paused and looked around him. He then turned his body and flew slightly low. Everyone looked at Yoru with slightly confused faces.
"A warning to all of you! To the good and the evil! To the soldier, and the civilian! The martyr, the victim! THIS IS A WAR!" Yoru said with a serious face.
Everyone can only look at Yoru with a confused face.
"Another warning to all of you! To the prophet, the liar, and the honest! To the leader, the pariah, the victor, and the messiah! THIS IS WAR! It's also the moment of truth, and the moment to lie. The moment to live and the moment to die!"
Everyone became serious now.
"Right now is the moment to fight, a fight to the death. To the edge of the earth. From the last to the first. From the right, to the left. We will fight to the death."
Yoru then rose his hand. And the other seriously look at what is Yoru doing.
"I do believe in the light. So raise your hands into the sky. Lift your hands toward the sky. And believe me. I will bring you a victory."
"OOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Yoru then turned around. And not long after that, in several places, visible cracks appeared in the air.
"They came." Rias said.
Rias and the others immediately prepared themselves.
"Everyone!!! Prepare Yourself!!!" Yoru shouted to tell everyone.
With screams from Yoru, Saeko and the others, Souichiro, Tadashi, Takashi, Yuusuke, Youji as well as the SDF members immediately prepared themselves respectively.
And not long after that, a crack appeared in the air that was only a small one. Little by little it gets bigger, bigger, and keeps getting bigger. Until finally the crack was very large and covered all views.
"Yoru, what exactly is our enemy?" Rias looked like she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"I don't really understand all this myself either. From what I can tell, they are Messengers of the Dead. Anyone who dies at their hands will become a Living Dead, or perhaps you could call them Undead or something like that."
"But from what's happening right now, it seems they're no ordinary undead. And whoever uses this magic, he's probably as good as Onii-sama." Rias looked at Yoru with a serious face.
Yoru didn't answer right away and just smiled.
"Are you worried about me?" Yoru was a bit joking.
"Wha... Who's worried about you! I'm worried about Akeno! If something happens to you, Akeno will definitely be sad!" Rias tried to argue what Yoru said.
"Ara... Ara..." Akeno smiled.
Yoru could only smile and pat Rias on the head.
"Don't worry, I have everything planned."
"Hump... That's good then."
Amidst the jest that ensued, the crack that was growing and growing finally stopped. Everyone seemed a little calm seeing what happened. However, the calm did not last long.
Instantly all were shocked and could only see what was happening without being able to do anything. Because in front of them The crack that was stopped finally destroying everything in their surrounding.
Buildings, roads, trees, vehicles, and everything around that cracked space and even the sky. Everything crumbled and broke into pieces and left only darkness.
And from that darkness, zombies started appearing one by one and finally hundreds, thousands, and hundreds of thousands of zombies ran out of that darkness towards them.
"Everyone!!! This is a war!!! This is your chance to show everyone you care about!!! To everyone you want to protect!!! That you will protect them from anything!!!"
Everyone who was shocked and couldn't do anything started to calm down and started to pick up their weapons. Even though everyone looked calm, the tension was clearly visible on their faces.
Of course they are tensed. Because in front of them, tens of millions of zombies were running towards them.
"Their number is more than what I expected." Yoru looked calm.
"So when are we going to attack?" Rias asked.
"Patience. Wait a little longer."
Yoru calmly looked at the millions of zombies running towards him. And not long after that, Yoru snapped his fingers. And after Yoru snapped his fingers, explosion after explosion occurred amidst the zombie hordes.
"Ohh... Did you also set up a trap?" Akeno looks amazed by what happened.
Even though Yoru had activated all the traps he had prepared, the number of zombies still seemed overwhelming.
"Ten million isn't a small amount. With the trap just now, their numbers were only reduced by a million or maybe a little more."
"Youji-san, Tarou-san, prepare all launchable missiles! And release them immediately when they're ready!"
Yoru gave instructions to Youji and Tarou to carry out the attack with the missiles on the battleship. The two of them immediately conveyed the instructions to those aboard the warship. And not long after that. Dozens of missiles launched towards the zombie hordes.
Everyone looks happy when they see the missiles launch from the warship. But the fun stopped when all the missiles exploded in the air. And not long after that, two robots came out of the darkness. One is red and the other is white.
The white robot then raised its weapon and shot several times at Yoru. Rias and Akeno immediately tried to protect Yoru, but he stopped them both.
Rias and Akeno and the others were confused why Yoru didn't do anything. But their questions were answered when the bullets fired by the robot stopped in midair. Everyone could see the bullet was stopped by a layer like glass.
"Looks like we don't have to wait any longer." Yoru said.
"Everyone!!! Kill all of them!!!"
With that scream, everyone immediately ran to attack the zombie horde.
"Yoru, are they enough to take care of all these zombies?" Rias looks in disbelief.
"Don't worry, you saw that I made a barrier for this place right."
Everyone nodded their heads.
"I made this barrier a bit unique. Anyone outside won't be able to enter unless they have a special item. Did you see the weapon they used? That weapon has a symbol that allows them to enter and exit the barrier as they please. Besides that, this symbol also strengthens their weapons. And another unique thing about this barrier is…"
Before Yoru could finish his explanation. Everyone started to leave the barrier, and that's when Rias and Akeno looked surprised.
"You two understand now, why I'm not so worried about all of them." Yoru smiled.
"Their strength has all increased, they are now twice as strong."
"That's right. Everything that comes out of this barrier will be twice as strong, however, that effect will disappear when they re-enter or when the barrier is destroyed. And that effect isn't just for living things to enjoy. Bullets, weapons and equipment will also be twice as strong once it's out of this barrier."
"How did you come up with a barrier like this?" Rias looks amazed.
"Ehem... it's a secret..." Yoru just smiled.
Yoru then focused on the two robots that came out of the darkness.
"Yuuto, Koneko, can you two take care the red one?"
Yuuto and Koneko looked slightly confused.
"I've never fought something that big, so I don't know." Yuuto looked a bit curious.
"That's right. Neither have I."
"Then give it a try."
Yuuto and Koneko stared at each other and finally they nodded their heads and after that immediately ran towards the red colored robot.
"For the time being, one robot has been resolved."
Yoru looked thoughtful for a moment.
"Fiona, Sayo, Miki, you three focus on the white robot."
After what Yoru said, Fiona and Sayo immediately ran towards the white robot and Miki immediately showered the robot with bullets. That incident made Rias and Akeno a little confused.
"Yoru, can you use telepathy?" Rias asked.
"Yes, but they can't, so we can't communicate using telepathy. But that can be overcome with equipment. One of the rings they use allows them to use telepathy, although they can only use it on people wearing the same ring."
"Nice ring, can I have one please?" Rias said.
"I can't give you." Yoru answered while focusing on what happened on the battlefield.
"Eh... Why?"
"Because it's a wedding ring. So I can't give it to you. But I will give it to Akeno. But later after the war is over."
Rias looked sullen and Akeno smiled widely after hearing what Yoru said.
Not long after that, two women came out of the darkness. The women are Mami Tomoe and Shinobu Kocho.
Mami still looks the same. And Shinobu is a petite young woman with a pale complexion and large compound-like eyes that lack pupils, only a haze of gradient purple, making her eyes appear similar to those of insects. She has black wavy hair that fades to dark purple, styled at the back of her head into a flat yakai-maki bun, fastened with a white, turquoise and light purple butterfly ornament. She has center-split, ear-length, voluminous curtain bangs that flow down to frame the sides of her face, with two slightly thinner chin-length locks of hair in front of her ears below them. Shinobu is short in height and has a small and weak-looking build.
She wears a dark-purple tinted straight-lined black jacket and matching colored tabi socks and hakama pants, tucked into white butterfly patterned Kyahan fading into pale turquoise then pink around her lower legs, fastened with white ribbons. Over that, she wears a white haori, which has a butterfly wing pattern that fades into a pale turquoise then pink color on the sleeves and hem which is cuffed with a black and white dotted trim. She wears white zouri sandals with purple straps for footwear.
"Now Mami and poison users."
"Yuko, Ayaka, you two take care of Mami."
Both of them ran to where Mami is.
"Saeko, can you tell Aoi to fight the poison user?"
Saeko looked disappointed hearing what Yoru said.
"Don't be disappointed, I'm sure there will still be someone who will be your opponent later."
Saeko then goes to Aoi and tells her what Yoru said. Hearing that, Aoi looked happy and turned towards where Yoru was. And with a happy face, Aoi ran towards Shinobu.
"Megumi, please help Aoi. And Shizuka, please tell Rika to also help Aoi."
"For now, everything is under control." Yoru said.
Everything seems to be running smoothly and all the grubs are doing their job well. And Yoru looks calm knowing all that.
"Why are only four out?" Rias asked.
And as if answering Rias's question. Three people came out from within the darkness. The three are Chiffon, Chifuyu, and Shizue. But all three have different look.
Chiffon did not change her clothes. However, Chiffon now uses equipment in the form of two large gauntlets on her right and left hands. Apart from that, Chiffon also has two shields floating on his left and right shoulder. Also, Chiffon's eyes which were now opened, made her smile look scary.
The second was Shizue. Shizue's condition now was also different. Now Shizue wasn't wearing her mask, so her face could be seen clearly.
Shizue's face actually looked cute like a young woman's. Only, there was a slight burn under his left eye and his eyes were burning red and she have an angry expression which made his face look hideous. On top of that, Shizue's body was also covered in flames that were so hot that the ground she was standing on melted.
The third is Chifuyu, at first Chifuyu looks like a charming upper-class woman. But, this time everything changed.
Chifuyu still tied her hair in a ponytail. But this time, she was wearing a tight black outfit with three katanas on her left hip and three katanas on her right hip.
"It seems that they're ready for battle?" Rias looks a little excited.
Yoru immediately used his Eye of Truth to look at the three of them. And he became a little surprised by it.
"They really have become stronger than before. Especially Chiffon, she's so different from what we know." Even though he was taken aback, Yoru immediately looked calm.
"Rias, she can now be your opponent." Yoru said while patting Rias head.
"So you fought Chiffon. And Akeno, you fought Shizue."
The two of them then immediately ran towards the tarbang towards their target.
"Saeko, you and Shirley, please take care of Chifuyu. You don't need to try to seal Chifuyu, you just need to keep Chifuyu busy with the two of you so she can't help the others. But if you can handle Chifuyu, that's much better."
Saeko and Shirley didn't say much and immediately ran towards Chifuyu.
Yoru just kept silent and floated to see the entire battlefield, he also did not forget to occasionally control his katana and other weapons to protect those who were a little careless.
"Not a single chess piece has appeared. Exactly what are they waiting for?"
Yoru felt uncomfortable again.
[Calm down. Precisely this situation is much better because we can focus on the special pawn first. And you don't need to use a lot of mana right now.]
"If things go on like this, it might look good for us. However, I feel that something is not right."
Almost like a prearranged plan. After Yoru said that. He began to notice something was wrong.
"Yoru, I can't seal Angelise." Fiona said telepathically.
"I can't seal Mami either." Yuko also said the same thing.
"Aoi can't hold on any longer. What should I do?" Megumi sounded really worried.
"Me too, I can't seal Chifuyu. Every time the sealing process starts, Chifuyu's body emits smoke and breaks the sealing magic circle." Saeko gave a report.
"Alright, please hold on a little longer." Yoru gave an answer to everyone.
"System, what should we do?"
[Stay cool. If we can't seal them, we just need to stop their bodies. If it can't be sealed then we'll just bind it.]
"If the seal doesn't work, how imprisonment magic can work?"
[Of course I don't know whether this method is effective or not. But at least, with this magic, I can tell what's really going on.]
"Fine, I will do you way."
Yoru then fell silent for a moment.
"Everyone, please endure a bit longer, I will help Aoi first."
"OK,"
"Hmm"
"All right."
Yoru then immediately flew closer to Aoi. Yoru could see that Megumi was trying her best to protect Aoi and herself with a barrier. He could also see Rika shooting at Shinobu to keep Shinobu from attacking Aoi and Megumi.
Aoi wasn't weak, but she wasn't strong enough to fight Shinobu. Even with the help of Megumi who was clearly stronger, but because Megumi had no experience in fighting, the two of them ended up being unable to do anything but defend themselves and wait for Yoru to save them.
"Are you all right?" Yoru said as he parried Shinobu's sword swing.
Yoru then creates a new, stronger barrier and leaves behind a katana controlled by System to face Shinobu. And Yoru focused on checking on Megumi and Aoi's condition.
"It looks like you guys are okay."
"Thanks. She doesn't have enough strength to break the barrier Megumi made, but we also can't do anything because she's too agile and can dodge all the attacks we do." Aoi looks irritated. And Megumi looked like she had given up and was out of breath.
"You guys better rest first. After that, please help Saeko." Yoru said while patting Aoi and Megumi's head.
"Now let me handle this woman." Yoru smiled and immediately focused on Shinobu.
'System, is the symbol ready?'
[Yes. I prepared two types of bind.]
Yoru then got out of the barrier and ran towards Shinobu. Even with the attack from the flying katana, Shinobu still can kept her focus on Yoru who was running towards her.
Seeing that Yoru was about to hit her, Shinobu immediately moved to avoid Yoru's punch. But unfortunately, her speed wasn't enough to help her to avoid Yoru's attacks.
When Shinobu jumped back to dodge, Yoru managed to jump forward and approach her. And with Shinobu being shocked, Yoru immediately punched Shinobu in the stomach.
Yoru's punch sent Shinobu's body flying and her body rolling on the ground. After Shinobu's body stopped rolling, she didn't seem to move at all. However, not long after that. Something like a black thread was seen approaching Shinobu's body.
And after the black thread touched Shinobu's body. Shinobu immediately moved and tried to stand up. And all the wounds on her body were clearly starting to disappear.
"That's weird."
Yoru looked confused and immediately used the Eye of Truth to see what the black thread actually was. After Yoru found out what the truth was, he was very surprised.
"Heaven's Feel..."
[What?]
"That black thread is called "Heaven's Feel Thread." And the explanation is "Part of the Third Magic. Even though it's just a part of the real one, it's enough to make a soul become permanent." Do you know what that means?"
[How did Heaven's Feel get here? From everything I know, only Justeaze Lizrich von Einzbern has ever used Heaven's Feel. I don't know of any descendants of the Einzberns who can use this Magic.]
"Ah... There's, Einzbern descendants that can use this Magic. Either Irisviel or Illyasviel should be here by now. From what happened when we sealed Ace and the others, they could be here if they died in original time line. And they both died during the Holy Grail War."
[Are the two of them able to use Heaven's Feel?]
"Of course, both of them can use that Magic. Illyasviel used it on the Heaven's Feel route. As for Irisviel, as far as I know she's also the vessel of the Holy Grail. So, there's a good chance she can use it."
[This is bad. Really bad. If she connects every special pawn and other chess pieces with Heaven's Feel, they can't die. More precisely their souls are indestructible. We need to stop this Magic. ASAP.]
