"Hmm! This tastes good. Mr. Tin Woodman, don't you want to try it?"
"..."
"This is quite delicious. You really don't want to try it? I'm not polite."
"..."
Watching Ruby Ross enjoying the meal, Carlos felt his heart stop.
Medivh's methods are really awesome. Wearing this armor composed of the reverberations of the world, Carlos is still a man of flesh and blood, but he doesn't need to eat. What's more, even the problem of excretion no longer exists.
[Fireless Ember] All the energy needed for action is supplied by magic power. Carlos's current external form of heroic spirit can be considered an energy creature in terms of life form.
Ruby Ross, who is also a heroic spirit, can obviously eat.
I'm really envious...no, I'm curious.
But Carlos was not prepared to express any opinions in this regard.
After all, others are "real" heroic spirits, but I am a "fake".
The Jiralhanae infected by the Flood has super self-healing ability, but Carlos's powerful blow physically split the Jiralhanae's body into four pieces. Without the magic power provided by its master, the Jiralhanae was unable to heal such serious wounds, and eventually turned into Fly ash.
The protoss who missed the hit left the battlefield directly. The final result was that Ruby Rose followed Carlos back to Tam Mourning's magic fortress.
"What a pity. It seems that the holy relic that summoned her was destroyed by that monster along with her master. I can't provide her with magic power. Otherwise, with the power of you two, the Holy Grail must belong to us."
Tam Mourning shook his head regretfully after using his magic to check Ruby Rose's condition.
"It doesn't matter, I was summoned accidentally, I just thought it was fun. After all, you are all great heroes who have existed in history, and I am just an ordinary hunter. By the way, I am still alive here. A certain corner of the vast universe. So the Holy Grail or whatever."
Ruby Ross seems to have a very cheerful personality and does not mind the fact that she is about to disappear.
To explain in layman's terms, although heroic spirits are more powerful than their magician masters, they "eat" more. Just maintaining their existence in this world consumes a lot of magic power, and to fight, they need to learn from their masters. Extract magic power.
Ruby Rose's master is dead. Even if she relies on eating to accumulate strength, it will only be a drop in the bucket.
"The guy who summoned me is not very bright, but he is not bad. I have avenged him, so I have no regrets. I am very happy to meet you heroes and fight against them. But Taimu Sir, Mr. Ember, if you want me to help fight, please do it as soon as possible. The magic power converted by eating alone is not even enough to maintain the consumption required for my existence in this world. In this state, every minute that passes, I will weaken. Points. If I delay it for too long, I will lose the value of fighting."
The entire Holy Grail ceremony was like a fairy tale adventure to Ruby Ross. What was important was the process experience rather than the final result.
So she doesn't care about the ownership of the Holy Grail.
They are all going to disappear anyway, so it would be better to fight before death.
Therefore, her existence is just one more disposable [Noble Phantasm] to Carlos, which is indispensable.
But the information Ruby Ross brought was crucial.
Because she and her Master had seen the sixth heroic spirit.
It was a guy who was also wearing strange heavy armor and was missing a hand.
"He calls himself Dorne, and his strange armor has this symbol on it."
Ruby Rose dipped her finger in the drink and drew a pattern on the white tablecloth. Tam Mourning knew nothing about it, and Carlos felt like he had seen it somewhere before.
Then Taimu Mourning asked for more details first, and Ruby Ross painted happily with her third-year junior high school painter.
After some editing in his mind, Carlos was completely speechless.
Isn't this FMD SM?
Please don't get me wrong, the SM that Carlos has in mind is not Sadism & Masochism but Space Marine.
Space Marine, Space Marine, nicknamed Star Brothers, a bunch of pure muscle guys, purer than the Paladins.
This symbol is the Fist of the Emperor.
Carlos didn't know much about SM, and he had no motivation to get to the bottom of it. Just like he didn't care about the identity of the Protoss protoss, he didn't want to find out who the Space Marines Ruby Ross mentioned were.
After all, heroic spirits are all fakes. Knowing their racial background, you can basically guess their abilities, equipment, and trump cards.
That was enough for Carlos.
In a game where the astral mage Medivh helps cheat, it is difficult to lose as long as you don't deliberately show off.
For example, Kalos' master Taimu Monin.
Compared with Medivh, Tam Mourning was really far behind. The holy relic in his hand was not even noticeable if it was moved.
But when compared horizontally, you can see how powerful he is.
The Master of the Bandage Man left the battlefield due to lack of physical strength. Even because of insufficient recovery ability, the cooperation that had been negotiated with Carlos was unilaterally terminated and went into hiding quietly.
Carlos is now the strongest force on the surface. The other players don't know that Ruby Rose can only fight for one battle. They all think that Tam Mourning now has two heroic spirits, and they have given up attacking him with magic. Fortress this idea.
This gave Tam Mourning a lot of time to collect intelligence.
In two days, there was no news from the bandaged man. On the contrary, SM found traces of the protoss faster than Carlos. The two sides started a battle. Judging from the traces afterwards, it seemed that the interstellar brothers had the upper hand. However, It's a pity that no one died.
The seventh heroic spirit is hidden so deeply that even a Westwood local snake like Tam Mourning has no way of finding out any useful information.
Just like that, at midnight that day, Tam Mourning's magic fortress suddenly came under a violent attack.
"what happened?"
After waking up, Tam Mourning tried to use the magic mirror in the room to check the situation, but found that outside the fortress, Carlos and Ruby Rose were ready for battle.
Simple math problems.
There are seven heroic spirits, one was killed in battle, Carlos and Ruby Ross are currently in the same faction, and there is no news about the other one.
No matter how we fight the remaining three, they are all at a strategic disadvantage.
Therefore, the optimal solution is naturally to send Tam Mourning out of the game first.
"Black Bean Sprout, don't hold me back. I'll send you on your way after dealing with these two heretics."
The Space Marines' booming voices rang through the night.
"I repeat, I am the eldest son of the noble god, not some dark elf."
The protoss' telepathic communications conveyed their dissatisfaction.
"My dear little master, can you still hold on? If you can, I will fight with all my strength."
The magician who discussed cooperation with Tam Mourning twice looked pale but nodded resolutely.
"Farram, go and bring me victory."
Disasters are where blessings depend, and blessings are where disasters lie.
The Tame Mourning/Carlos combination, which was originally aloof, was instantly surrounded.
Three to two, the offensive and defensive momentum immediately changed.
