Chapter 36 Ghost Invasion
Chapter 36 Ghost Invasion
Makoto Aoki knew three days ago that there would be ghosts at the concert, since he had received a warning on his phone.
At times like this, Makoto Aoki would curse the World Consciousness for its counterfeit and substandard products, sometimes notifying him at the last minute, and sometimes so early.
Makoto Aoki considered whether to inform the Japanese authorities about this premature notification, to arrange for evacuation, or even to cancel the concert altogether.
But in the end, he gave up.
is that useful?
Not to mention that the Japanese authorities might not listen to him, even if they did, they would definitely set up an ambush in the stadium, try to get close to the two Heroic Spirits, and then do some disgusting and nauseating things.
These probing and malicious actions will absolutely not stop until the situation truly becomes serious.
Makoto Aoki told himself that, just as he had thought before, simply trying to solve the monster invasion wouldn't work. He also needed to gain greater fame. If he was famous enough, he could support more Servants and wouldn't even need to make them sign contracts with others.
And isn't this a great platform?
With over 10,000 people on site and the event being broadcast live, as long as the two Heroic Spirits' avatars are effective, the whole world can become aware of the concept of Heroic Spirits. This also lays the groundwork for what's to come.
As for casualties... they will never bow their heads and admit their weakness unless humanity knows the pain.
All Aoki Makoto could do was summon both of his Heroic Spirit avatars to minimize casualties.
After making the decision, Makoto Aoki, who could have stayed at home, still came.
after all……
Makoto Aoki said to himself, "It's my turn to go on stage too."
The appearance of the pale skeleton caused most of the already panicked crowd to collapse, not to mention that ghosts continued to emerge, covering the entire stage in the blink of an eye.
Yoko Okino, who was originally on stage, made a snap decision and jumped off the stage. After all, Tanikawa was a cautionary tale, and she didn't want to be killed by the pale skeleton floating in the air. Before jumping, she used the microphone to remind everyone: "Run!"
Even knowing that a stampede would occur, they couldn't care less about that now!
In this life-or-death situation, the audience even forgot about the threat of the bomb, and since Tanikawa was already dead, they all frantically tried to escape.
During the live stream, the viewers were going crazy.
"What is that? A ghost? How can there be ghosts in the world?"
"I was originally going to come, but thankfully I couldn't get a ticket. Thank you, capitalists, for sparing my life!"
"It's all special effects! There are no ghosts in the world; we should believe in science!"
"Hilarious! Science, my foot! Do sea monsters look like normal creatures?"
Newton: Don't ask me, it's not my problem.
Darwin: Don't ask me, I study biology, not the supernatural; it doesn't follow evolution!
"Hey, hey, haven't you guys ever considered that since King Arthur and Oda Nobunaga didn't die, maybe Newton and Darwin aren't scientific anymore?"
"Am I the only one who thinks those victims' families are suffering too much? How did they encounter a monster again!"
The Sakai couple felt the same way. As relatives of the victim, they were sitting in the first two rows, and the ghost's chilling aura was so intense that they lost the ability to escape and trembled in their seats.
"Eiko." Sakai Kaiichiro didn't want to run anymore. He just held his wife, ready to die together.
"It's okay, Emi is waiting for us too." Sakai Eiko buried her head in Kaiichiro's arms and closed her eyes.
This must be fate.
They had accepted their fate; perhaps they were destined to die at the hands of monsters, but instead of the Kobe City sea monster, ghosts had appeared.
They no longer wanted to run away.
"Tsk, that's really troublesome."
A gunshot rang out, accompanied by someone's disgusted voice.
"Boom boom boom!!"
With each gunshot, the ghosts in the first row were instantly wiped out.
"Still not leaving?"
With a glance from his scarlet eyes, the Sakai couple scrambled away.
Oda Nobunaga didn't care about these details. He wasn't exactly a righteous man, but he would help someone if he could.
Yoko Okino, who was almost trapped in a pile of ghosts and waiting to die, was pulled away by a strong force. She opened her eyes and saw a young man in a black military uniform pulling her behind him.
"Your courage is commendable." Oda Nobunaga praised Yoko Okino's previous actions, "However, this is no longer a place for you."
Upon seeing the hat on the head of the handsome, almost otherworldly man, and the matchlock gun floating beside him, Yoko Okino recognized him almost immediately. She covered her red lips and exclaimed, "You, you are Lord Nobunaga?!"
For some reason, her face felt hot.
There's no way around it; the classic hero-saves-the-damsel-in-distress trope will never go out of style, especially when the hero is handsome and of noble birth.
This time, however, Oda Nobunaga completely ignored her, simply telling the pink-haired girl beside him to "follow me," before drawing his long sword.
"Hmph, a bunch of rats that have defiled my territory."
"Armored gunners, raise your guns!"
Instead of wasting magic to create Nobu, a dozen matchlock guns were lined up in a row, their muzzles firing bullets that directly suppressed the ghosts in the front row.
Unfortunately, there were still far too many ghosts! By "far too many," I mean hundreds or even thousands!
Even though they were almost no match for Oda Nobunaga's spear, their sheer numbers were still too much for Oda Nobunaga, who hadn't used his Noble Phantasm, to stop on his own.
However, Oda Nobunaga was not a weakling who was powerless without his matchlock gun. The moment a ghost approached, its pale claws were already upon him, and Nakano Nino couldn't help but close her eyes.
Oda Nobunaga stepped forward and beheaded the enemy with a single stroke.
The pale, skeletal ghost was instantly annihilated. Oda Nobunaga remained expressionless, subtly shifting his stance, and then sliced another ghost on his right front side in two with a single stroke.
The Hasebe sword in his hand was incredibly sharp; each swing would take down one or even more ghosts.
"Oh my god—it's Lord Nobunaga! It's the living Lord Nobunaga! Waaaaah, my life is complete!"
"So handsome! He's incredibly handsome! Were all people in ancient times this good-looking? *doge emoji*"
"Not surprising! You know, Oda Nobunaga is a handsome man certified by history books. He even dressed in women's clothing and walked around, captivating a group of samurai who then followed him!"
"Oda Nobunaga's sister is Oichi, the most beautiful woman of the Sengoku period! His niece is one of the famous beauties, the Asai sisters. This whole family is full of beauties, so, Lord Nobunaga, are you looking for a brother-in-law? A niece's husband would be fine too!"
"Be bold, Lord Nobunaga, do you need someone to warm your bed?"
"Lord Nobunaga, I'm your dog!! (Very loud jpg)"
"Please, please pull up your pants!"
"Do these people not want to live on Earth anymore? (Scary image)"
"Wow, that's powerful! Seriously, with ghosts that have no physical form, our bullets are completely useless against them! Humanity is doomed!"
"Wait a minute, who is that woman behind Lord Nobunaga? Why is Lord Nobunaga protecting her?"
"I won't allow it! I won't allow it! What kind of little bitch dares to fawn over Lord Nobunaga? Shameless!"
"Wait, isn't she my classmate?"
"That Nakano guy?"
"What, who is it? What's their name?"
"Their quintuplets all look exactly alike, how can anyone tell which one is which!"
"I don't care, waaaaah! Lord Nobunaga is Japanese, no one is allowed to have him all to themselves!"
Of course, Nino Nakano was unaware of the chaos and confusion online; she was still cautiously trying to survive by following Nobunaga!
Getting up close to these ghosts is truly terrifying!
