This is the weirdest possible interpretation of a rather straightforward statement, and requires quite a few more assumptions than just accepting that the mind and body protect the soul, as repeatedly stated before. This is something alluded to as far back as Tsukihime, where the 7th scripture was able to affect spirits, but it wasn't able to just hit the soul of something like a vampire until Ciel customized it, because they have bodies.
Seventh Holy Scripture [Weapon name]
...
Unable to hold herself back, she set about improving it, and because of that the Scripture's elemental ended up having the essence of its personality warped.
Before Ciel remodeled it, it was only effective against spiritual entities. Now, however, it has been transformed into a lump of iron that can pound a vampire to death with its physical attack power alone. It has a gross weight of 60 kilograms, and a maximum weight of twice that with optional attachments. It's a… Gatling scripture!?

It never had any intention of being a weapon against anything corporeal before Ciel made into the ''lump of iron'' version it became.
Spirits and Souls are very different things. Why something affecting spiritual creatures would need to affect Souls? It's like saying a exorcism ritual/ Kirei's Kyrie Eleison should have also affect him.

It's not even an interpretation... It's said as far back as in the original Fate/Stay Night that the consumption of Souls as Magical Energy is a ''prerrogative of Spiritual Beings'' and similar beings, like the very beast the Seventh Scripture was made out of, a Unicorn IIRC, something along those lines. Darnic, from his interaction with Servants, developed a way to consume the souls - was it as life force/od/magical energy? does the human body count as a ''Dying Agent" for magical energy? did he forgot magical energy is dyed by the place it's stored, also known since FSN, said by RIn? - but it was risky and basically asking for something to go wrong given he was a living human and the Soul and Body exist as two complementary parts.

The only straightforward thing that seems to be ignored is that the process requires Kiara's Code Cast before the whole Beast thing, and Code Casts are computer programs, not material objects.

It was repeated ad nauseaum that ''only one person'' ever understood the Soul, also. Many things around this topic may very well be wrong, we even have two descriiptions of the ''relationship between the soul and the body'' that are one the opposite of the other..

As for Kerry damaging Kayneth with the origin round, how exactly does this show that there is no protection? This would just show that the origin rounds, which enact an origin forcibly in someone else, is able to meet the requirements for affecting the soul still, and gets through the defenses.
Why are you creating such a round-about way of talking about this ''type of attack/defense'', that is not even necessary in the first place, because the Nasuverse has Conceptual Weapons, that include exactly things that affect the Soul in it's scope? Or better yet, give me one clear example of the Soul being targetted and this attack failing because of the Body or the Mind/Brain. The only thing anywhere near this is like Material Bodies being the preference in Servant fights because without them their Cores are ''exposed'' (and wouldn't be correct because they still have Spiritual Bodies when exposed like this), but I believe you are talking about Humans/Magus, not Servants.

Except the base of Apocrypha is from June 2011, a game project that didn't went on (and therefore, considering it wasn't something beginning, but ending, predates this at least a bit) and eventually was rebooted as FGO and EXTRA CCC was released in 2013... And Darnic is one of the masters of the 3rd Fuyuki, the noe in which Andra was invoked, so could theoretically be even older than that.

Don't randomly look at dates...
Even the unfinished game comes after Extra, and CCC's story wasn't written long after Extra released. You can't really assume the unfinished game had all this stuff fleshed out about Darnic when we don't know everything that was in it, or how far it was along in development.

Like, this train of logic to try and link Kiara's ability to be a reference to Darnic doesn't work on any level, and this is ignoring older things that imply the statement of "mind and body protect the soul" is literal, that come from even earlier works

Your assumption only works if we assume this is referring to Darnic's thing, but there is almost no logically sound way to assume it does refer to that

Yes, this is precisely what I'm saying, it was unable to be a weapon against things with bodies, which clearly shows what's being said above.

Because Ghosts and other soul based things are part of what the church fights. The 7th scripture in specific also explicitly hurts souls, as seen in the ends of Tsukihime, meaning that spiritual entities did in fact include souls, and that this soul hitting was originally completely ineffective due to the presence of a body.
It's not even an interpretation... It's said as far back as in the original Fate/Stay Night that the consumption of Souls as Magical Energy is a ''prerrogative of Spiritual Beings'' and similar beings, like the very beast the Seventh Scripture was made out of, a Unicorn IIRC,
Yes, but in these cases it was mentioned as a form of sustenance for them, and not that if something ever tried to eat them, they'd get too many memories and get screwed over.

Nothing here really proves that your interpretation is more logically sound than the simpler one where we accept what the statements say. You've essentially just said "codecasts are computer programs not material objects" which is true but irrelevant, especially when they affect the soul and such due to how the mooncell works.

The closest thing to decent evidence you've given is the fact that there are in fact, two opposite descriptions to the protection relationship between the body and soul, however, this both doesn't support your argument, and the second one (one we aren't using) is less commonly supported in the franchise.
Why are you creating such a round-about way of talking about this ''type of attack/defense'', that is not even necessary in the first place, because the Nasuverse has Conceptual Weapons, that include exactly things that affect the Soul in it's scope?
It's not really roundabout, it's simply saying that the origin rounds being able to affect the soul does not, at all, support you, it simply means they can affect the soul, they're considered conceptual weapons anyway if that makes it better for you.
Or better yet, give me one clear example of the Soul being targetted and this attack failing because of the Body or the Mind/Brain.
7th Holy Scripture, Kiara, etc

The servant thing is indeed not important here. Although one could argue them only having a spirit form and core when not using a body does in fact, show that their material body is protecting their soul, as the spiritual body does quite literally nothing in this regard
 
So what is left to do here, other than what I accepted earlier?
 
I have unlocked the pages in question.

Tell me here when you are done.
 
Okay. Is there anything left to do here then?
