Chapter 182: London

"Not Reaper 13, but... Atom God?"

Kurokawa Kazuya was surprised to see the substitute he got...

God Atom - this is Terrence. The stand-in ability possessed by T. Darby!

There are two abilities.

One, can draw out the soul of a person! Can be stored later, while Terrence. T. Darby's hobby is to put it among the dolls. His elder brother made souls into coins and put them away.

This can be said to be the ability shared by two people.

However, such an ability requires conditions...it can only be activated when gambling or playing games.

And—the other party wants to say "bet your soul". Then, if you fail in the subsequent games and feel frustrated, your soul will be captured by him at this time.

On the contrary, if the person holding this stand-in ability feels a sense of failure, the soul will directly return to the body of the main body.

However, it can be activated to a certain extent without such a ritual, of course, the premise is to make that person feel a sense of failure, and the energy of the soul is weakened to have a chance, and gambling and games are the fastest way.

And, Terrence. The stand-in possessed by T. Darby has another ability...another...compared to this ability that Kurokawa and Mi are more interested in - mind reading!

Of course, not all of them. It is not the ability to see the whole heart of a person.

You can only see "YES" and "NO", and you can only read it to this extent, but... this is already very strong. For some questions, just saying "yes" or "no" can reveal a lot of information up.

"What luck!"

Kurokawa and Mi stood up a little excitedly: "Before going to London, I actually got such an ability..."

The Magic Eye collects the train... he is not surprised what happens in it.

And—before I really got there, I got the ability to read minds and extract souls, so it would be much more convenient for me.

Not only that, but also in the daily life afterwards.

More ways to use it, it's really great to get this ability!

To some extent, this is a more practical ability than Reaper 13.

But - here comes the problem...

This means that what Heroic Spirit gets for himself may not be what he will get...

Parallel worlds... Different parallel worlds make different choices, and even... the things you draw in the lottery will be different.

The abilities he has in the heroic spirit state may not be available in reality.

Is this good news or bad news...he himself can't decide...

…

U.K-

London.

An old station in the suburbs.

Kurokawa Kazuya came here.

"June 6th... Does the number double six have any meaning?"

Looking at the surrounding buildings, Kurokawa Kazumi thought secretly. According to his investigation, the station ceased to be used in 1950, and there was a "No Entry" sign in front of the door, and the entrance was blocked.

But... that's right, the place I investigated is here.

He took out a magic needle from the inner pocket of his jacket, the same style as Tohsaka Rin, this thing is not expensive, you can buy it for a few million yen at the clock tower.

After all, he doesn't know magic, although he is trying to feel his own little source to refine magic power.

But unfortunately...

Its own ripples are too strong.

In addition, his own magic aptitude is very poor, even worse than his sister, and the little life energy he barely extracted was absorbed by Ripple's life energy.

Among the ripple users he knows so far, he is the only one who has this situation.

And Emiya Kiritsugu and others didn't have it, but their ripples were very weak, even if the life energy was good, the ripples were also very weak, and the relative amount of magic power increased a lot.

According to Emiya Kiritsugu's feelings...

Ripple Qigong can express a person's Xiaoyuan in another way besides magic power, and the combination of the two will produce the effect of slowly increasing Xiaoyuan.

And... both magic power and ripples come from Xiaoyuan, and the fundamental performance in this world is actually similar.

Therefore, people with relatively strong ripples will have weak magic power. For those with relatively strong magic power, the ripples will be weak.

So... practicing Ripple and Mana at the same time is the best.

The representative is Shirou Emiya, no...Miya Emiya.

And Elijah.

Although Eliya has a high level of magic aptitude, she has never refined her magic power, because that thing is of no benefit to her life.

if...

If Emiya Kiritsugu and the others didn't bring her out, she would be on the road to the Holy Grail War, and even if she didn't want to, she would still have to refine her magic power.

And now...

Ripple can extend her life.

She is the same as Emiya Muming, the strength of ripples and magic power is comparable.

Moreover, all ripples can be converted into magic power, or all small sources can be temporarily expressed in a certain form.

And... Kurokawa and Mi's own gluttonous devouring method increased his small source, that is, life energy too much.

His ripples are too powerful, and he doesn't even have the capital to transform into magic power.

but...

There may be some differences after this time.

The magic circuit of the magic eye is independent...Maybe it will be able to express its own little source in another form at that time.

As for now... I have no choice but to buy more props that can be used without magic power, or that can be recharged with other people's magic power.

Such things exist, but they are not cheap.

"So that's the case, it's really the case... It seems that a repelling barrier has been arranged here."

Seeing the magic needle flying around in their hands, Kurokawa and Mi nodded and put it away.

This level of people-repelling enchantment doesn't work for him. Although his life energy can't be expressed in the form of magic power, the powerful Xiaoyuan has already made some magic ineffective against him.

If he compares it with the Servant's panel, he guesses that he should have anti-magic power of around E-D level.

Such a people-repelling enchantment is useless to him.

"It seems that there is no one... There are two more days." Kurokawa and Mi recalled today's date.

He came here early, just got off the plane, opened a room in the hotel, put down the salute, and rushed over.

After confirming this place, he walked back.

"Go back to the hotel."

"Oh God, that's great," the driver said with a sigh. "I'm bored here, and I assume you are too?"

"Ah, that's right...it's really not a good place."
