The white light dissipated.
However, everyone present couldn't utter a word.
All the magicians just stared with their eyes wide open, staring in surprise at the female warrior standing beside Hatteras. That figure, who looked like she came out of a costume TV series, seemed to suppress everything in front of them at this moment.
“Heroic Spirit…”
Kanano Hishiri's expression changed at this moment, and the white-haired young man was extremely surprised.
"Did you really turn the realm record tape into a familiar?!"
"What on earth is this?"
The pink-haired girl took a few steps back, looking at the woman in front of her in horror. It was no wonder that these magicians had such a reaction. Even though they had seen countless mysteries as magicians, the one that appeared before them was completely different from their understanding. It was like seeing a giant dragon appearing in modern times - an ancient, unreasonable, powerful, and unparalleled embodiment of existence.
Just by standing there, the aura emanating from the female warrior was enough to make all the magicians tremble.
However, not everyone is like this.
"I see. I finally understand."
At this moment, El-Melloi II spoke.
"I've been thinking about who you are."
"I did."
Hearing what El-Melloi II said, the female warrior snorted coldly.
"I am Hephaestion."
"I meant your rank. You gave your real name, but you didn't tell me your rank, right?"
As he spoke, El-Melloi II pulled out an invitation letter from his pocket.
"I understand now. The reason for putting in this invitation letter and luring me to the Mystic Eye Collection Train was to make the system mistakenly believe that there is a subspecies Holy Grail here. After all, I was once a master. If I appeared here, there is a high possibility that the Holy Grail system would mistake me for a master. And in order to prevent me from becoming a master, you also forged the Command Spell."
Having said that, El-Melloi II looked towards Hatresh again.
"But that's not enough. The Servant classes in the Holy Grail War are fixed. You can deceive, but you can't change them. Therefore... you have to add completely new classes yourself. You used the concept of FAKER, right? Because the Command Seals are fake, the Holy Grail War is also fake, and the classes are naturally fake... Is that right?"
"Uh...Xiaohong, why don't I understand?"
When Seo Shizune heard this, she tilted her head in confusion, looked at Fang Zheng and asked, but Fang Zheng shrugged.
"This is normal. Just like Waver said, Hatteras intends to use the Holy Grail War system to summon Servants, but there is no Holy Grail War here... You have played board games before, right? It's just pretending to set a story background on the table, and then creating characters yourself, and then making that character exist in that story background... But, because everything is fake, it works."
"Uh... I still don't understand."
"To put it simply, this person is here pretending that he is going to participate in the Holy Grail War and summon Servants, just like a child playing a game pretending to be Ultraman, but he is not the real Ultraman, so even if a real monster appears, he will not transform, right? However, this place itself is a fake stage, and he also stated that he is just going to be a fake Ultraman, so the world's perception is established."
"Is it possible?"
Hearing this, the girls all showed incredible expressions, while Fang Zheng pouted his lips.
"The essence of magic is to deceive the world, and that's exactly what he did."
At this moment, El-Melloi II's voice sounded again.
"I once summoned Iskandar in the Holy Grail War, but he didn't look like the legend said. First of all, the Iskandar in the legend was short, but the one that appeared in front of me was a giant two meters tall. His hair and eyes were also scarlet, which was very different from the legend. According to the literature, Iskandar's hair was golden or black, and his eyes were described as one as deep as the night sky, and one as golden and silver as if shining on the blue sky."
"Eh? That's not..."
Hearing this, Gray sighed in surprise, because the record described by El-Melloi II was obviously exactly the same as the female warrior in front of her.
"Yes, it is this woman. You are not Hephaestion... You should be called Iskandar in the summoning. You are the afterimage of the king - a shadow dancer."
substitute?
Hearing this, everyone was somewhat surprised, but they could understand it. After all, it was normal for the ancient kings to have several substitutes. If they summoned fake servants in a fake war, then it would definitely be impossible to summon the original servants, so it was reasonable to summon substitutes.
After all, it's fake.
"I'm not interested in listening to your nonsense anymore."
The female warrior interrupted El-Melloi II coldly and looked at Hatres.
"Alright, Master."
"All right."
In response to the female warrior's words, Hatres scratched his hair.
"I don't mind fighting here, but I'm afraid a lot of magic eyes will be sacrificed..."
"etc."
However, before Hatteras could finish his words, he was interrupted.
Everyone turned to look, and then saw Red Ponytail standing up.
"It's you, the one who defeated my lovely students before, right?"
"ah……"
Hearing this, the female warrior glanced at Ryougi Shiki and others beside the red ponytail and frowned.
"Speaking of which, we still have a score to settle."
"That's right."
Fang Zheng raised his right hand.
"To be honest, I had no intention of intervening in your boring bullshit, but now that you've attacked my lovely students, the situation is different. If you want to blame someone, blame your own stupidity."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng extended his hand.
And on the back of her hand, a bright red light suddenly appeared. Seeing this light, Hatres and El-Melloi II were both startled.
"This is……!?"
"How could you...?"
"In the name of the Command Spell, obey my call and descend!"
As Fang Zheng finished speaking, the next moment, seven shining figures descended from the sky and surrounded Hatres and the female warrior.
Standing in front was a girl wearing a bright red gorgeous dress, with blonde hair and blue eyes, holding a bright red long sword. On her side stood a woman with long silver-white hair, holding a golden longbow, with a teddy bear on her shoulder, and a woman wearing a purple tights, with long purple hair and an eye patch.
On both sides, girls with purple ponytails and holding staffs blocked their way with smiles on their faces. Opposite her, a white-haired girl wearing a black swimsuit-like outfit and holding a knife was staring at the female warrior's neck with narrowed eyes.
“Wuwuwu…”
In the back, the Berserker wearing a bridal gown and holding a golden hammer roared angrily. At the same time, the Valkyrie holding a spear of light and a shield was ready for battle.
"You think you're great to have a Servant backing you up, don't you?"
Fang Zheng sat down again, folded his arms, and looked coldly at Hatres and the female warrior who were stunned.
"Choose for yourself. Do you want to go through the process? Or die immediately?"
“…”
At this time, almost everyone was speechless. The appearance of a Heroic Spirit alone was enough to make them stunned, and when Fang Zheng summoned seven Servants, they...had completely given up thinking.
"How could you...?"
At this moment, Hatres couldn't laugh anymore. He swallowed and looked at the red ponytail blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Because I am in charge of Valhalla. You sneaked in right under my nose and used it against my people. Do you really think I am easy to bully?"
Fang Zheng snorted coldly.
Originally, if Hatres was only dealing with Weber, Fang Zheng would not bother to care. After all, El-Melloi has not joined the Thousand World Tree, right? But this guy is so arrogant that he wants to threaten himself with his own students. It's just a daydream. Do you think our Thousand World Tree is easy to bully, or am I easy to bully?
If you piss me off, I'll summon an army of heroes to send you to hell in a minute!
If the tiger doesn't show its power, do you really think I'm a sick cat?
As for whether it would be too conspicuous, Fang Zheng didn't care. The reason why she showed up in person these few times was to make the Thousand World Tree famous. After today's battle, the news that someone in the Thousand World Tree could summon heroic spirits anytime and anywhere would surely spread throughout the magic world.
"It seems that you are not going to surrender, so let's go through the process."
Having said that, Fang Zheng picked up Frostmourne and thrust it heavily into the ground.
"Seal it."
There was nothing much to say about the battle process. If the seven heroes joined forces and couldn't even defeat a stowaway, it would only mean that they were fake. In fact, the entire battle lasted less than five seconds before it was completely over.
When Fang Zheng lifted the seal and returned to the Magic Eye Collection Train, the female warrior had disappeared without a trace, and Hatres... had also turned into a cold corpse.
"Okay, now that the trouble here is solved, let's solve the problem between us."
As Fang Zheng spoke, he raised his head and looked at the auctioneer and the conductor. When they noticed her gaze, they both broke out in cold sweats.
"What's the problem? Miss Red Ponytail?"
"They want to take our lovely students from Qianjieshu as hostages, and you want to dig out their eyes. You are very brave. Should we have a good talk about this issue?"
"…What do you want to do?"
At this moment, the auctioneer had no choice but to go ahead. She didn't want to "go through the process" and didn't want to "die directly". Not to mention that there were seven heroic spirits staring at them covetously. Just kidding, let alone they were just ordinary dead disciples, even the twenty-seventh ancestor would have to retreat!
“It’s very simple.”
Fang Zheng stretched out his hand and pointed at the magic eyes in the Ten Thousand Demon Eyeballs Library.
"How much are these magic eyes? Just name a price. I want them all."
After all, I, Red Ponytail, am not a devil.
