Ryougi Shiki's mouth curved up as she looked at Araya Souren, who was still being brutally killed. In the next moment, all the Ryougi Shiki made preparations to throw their spears. Then, Ryougi Shiki quickly ran a few steps, jumped high, and all 20 Ryougi Shiki threw the "Fake God Declaration" together.
Lancelot and Katsushika Hokusai immediately retreated a long distance, because in that instant, a barrier appeared around Araya Souren's body.
Twenty spears pierced through Araya Souren's body together, and very smoothly pierced through every line of death on Araya Souren's body. With the help of the barrier, this time Araya Souren's body directly turned into ashes and disappeared, and no new Araya Souren appeared.
But just at this time, something unexpected happened on Aozaki Touko's side.
Tia turned her head and felt a very strange but slightly familiar aura coming from Aozaki Touko's direction. Tia turned her head and saw Aozaki Touko carrying her box and walking over.
Ryougi Shiki also turned her head to look at Aozaki Touko, her brows furrowing slightly.
The "Fake God Declaration" that had been thrown out could not be retrieved for the time being, because it was not Ryougi Shiki's Noble Phantasm. Ryougi Shiki only had temporary usage rights to it because she had removed the remaining soul of Araya Souren inside. Ryougi Shiki still needed to adjust her spirit base to change from Assassin class to Lancer class.
Therefore, Ryougi Shiki didn't even have her own suitable weapon at this time.
Aozaki Touko was still carrying the box and quietly walking towards Tia's side.
But just at this time, the body of Aozaki Touko, who was walking over, suddenly cracked open, and a small octopus crawled out of her body.
Tia looked closely and saw that it was the same appearance as the big octopus god that had appeared in the Misono River.
And at this time, Aozaki Touko, whose body had cracked open, suddenly spoke.
"I never thought that my body would be controlled by a god one day, but unfortunately, my body is just a doll. Since it has been favored by a god, then I'll give it to you, but, that can only happen if the god can control it," Aozaki Touko, whose body was cracked open, was still carrying the box and said to the small octopus, "My body is not so easy to control."
"That octopus is that god, right?" Ryougi Shiki said at this time, "But it's really rare, does Touko have such a miserable side?"
"You're telling me," Aozaki Touko said, "I'm leaving this box to you."
Aozaki Touko said one last sentence to Tia, and her body completely lost its movement.
Tia understood in her heart that the things inside this box were very scary. Although the people present wouldn't lose, there was still a small octopus here. Who knew what the things inside the box would do.
"The box?" The small octopus finally looked at the box, and without hesitation stretched out its tentacles and opened the box.
In the next moment, thorn-like tentacles and claws stretched out from inside the box, dragging the small octopus into the box.
And the inside of the box was as dark as ever, with two shining points in the center of the darkness, which were its eyes.
"Hey! Do you have any weapons? I'm not used to spears! Give me a knife that's not too long," Ryougi Shiki shouted at Tia again at this time.
When Tia heard Ryougi Shiki's words, she subconsciously thought of the next seal in her eleven seals.
"Unlock the secret of the demon-killing short sword, and forge its true form yourself."
Isn't this just a knife that's not too long?
Tia conveniently forged the demon-killing short sword and threw it to Ryougi Shiki.
The moment Ryougi Shiki caught the demon-killing short sword, she was completely stunned.
In the next moment, Ryougi Shiki herself underwent earth-shattering changes. Ryougi Shiki, holding the demon-killing short sword, directly underwent a gorgeous transformation, directly turning into Root, holding a long sword in her hand.
Everyone present was stunned.
Of course, everyone present actually knew Root, after all, Root herself was also in Chaldea.
Only the small octopus was greatly shocked.
Also shocked was Aozaki Touko, who had been watching the scene, because Aozaki Touko felt a familiar feeling from this Ryougi Shiki, Root.
"It's actually Root!" Aozaki Touko was shocked.
Of course, Aozaki Touko at this time had just sat up again from somewhere.
This is the hiding place of Aozaki Touko's puppets. She had been watching the scene through the dead body. After seeing Root appear, she was forced back.
That's right, Aozaki Touko could feel that she was forcibly driven back.
"I didn't expect it to be Root," Aozaki Touko calmed down a little, "This is really, a constant surprise... The client asked me to protect Root, it's really... a huge joke. It seems I need to properly investigate you, Mr. Client."
Aozaki Touko said, changing her goal.
"But before that, I have to go there first and get my box back."
And at this time, the things inside Aozaki Touko's sealed box were still dragging the small octopus inside. But don't look at how small this octopus is, but the things inside this sealed box were very difficult to drag, causing the things inside this sealed box to stretch out an even greater number of tentacles and claws.
Although the small octopus was not afraid of the things inside, it was firmly trapped in place and could not move.
This would have been nothing, but as the small octopus suddenly saw Root's appearance, it immediately panicked.
Root is definitely able to instantly kill the current him with one strike.
Unless he lets his true body, which is far away at the end of the universe, descend, he will not be able to deal with the Root in front of him at all.
The small octopus thought, but there was no way to escape, because the thing inside was too difficult to deal with.
And Tia at this time didn't know why Root would suddenly appear. Tia, who was still curious, suddenly realized that it was the demon-killing short sword she had forged.
Tia immediately started looking at her Holy Sword seals.
That's right, five seals had indeed been broken, and the next seal was "Unlock the secret of the demon-killing spear, and forge its true form yourself."
And the demon-killing short sword was able to know its true identity with the unlocking of the seal.
And the true form of this demon-killing short sword was actually Shiki Tohno's weapon, the Nanaya short sword. The short sword was obtained by an unknown person and engraved with the Nanaya assassination technique, and reforged. It was attached with the direct death perception ability possessed by Shiki Tohno, the former owner of the Nanaya short sword, and the fact that it had killed Arcueid, thus being promoted to a Noble Phantasm and captured by Gilgamesh's Gate of Babylon.
