Chapter 991: The wish of the king of Persia

Views:

Roa used a secret ritual unique to the Holy Grail War supervisors to transfer the Command Seals, usually recovering the Command Seals from the dead or the defeated who sought the protection of the Church.

Don't forget that Roa's contemporary reincarnation, Kotomine Kirei, is the son of Kotomine Risei, the supervisor of the last Holy Grail War. He learned all the rituals of managing the Command Seals from his father at an early age, and this memory was also integrated with Roa's awakening.

At this point in time, Roa is Kotomine Kirei, and Kotomine Kirei is Roa, and the two existences have long been indistinguishable from each other.

Although it was his first time, the technique itself was not complicated. With Roa's level of magic, it could be completed in just a few minutes.

Under the control of magic, the bright red command seal was peeled off from the severed limb along with the unilaterally severed contract, and then connected to Roa's own magic circuit through the magic link.

During the process of peeling off the Command Seals, Darius III had been struggling, but when the Command Seals were reattached, his voice gradually weakened, perhaps because he had come to realize his current situation.

Seeing his expression, Luo A was even more proud: "Why don't you curse? There are still a hundred seconds left before the contract is renewed. Are you tired?"

"Yes, I am tired." The anger on Darius III's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a relaxed smile, so relaxed that even his body began to fade. "I am so tired that my soul core has collapsed. It's time to leave."

"You are for!"

Luo A's smile froze suddenly, and he thought of a very bad possibility.

Darius III's previous anger was all fake, with only one purpose - to delay as much time as possible and consume magic power as quickly as possible. Berserker is the class that consumes the most magic power. Darius III had just experienced a fierce battle, and the magic power in his body was already very little. After a fierce struggle, the magic power was quickly exhausted, and he began to consume his spirit core.

Because of the "Soil of Creation", the spirit particles that escaped were directly absorbed by the "Soil of Creation" and were not noticed by Roa and others. At this point, even if the contract was renewed and the command spell was used, it would not be able to save him. Darius III successfully escaped the fate of being enslaved by the monster.

"Ha ha ha ha."

The Persian king who had successfully tricked Roa laughed out loud. Like his good rival Iskandar, he also looked rough but actually had a quick mind. He had been thinking about countermeasures since he was trapped, and finally succeeded in making the enemy careless.

"So, a monster is a monster. No matter how long its life is, it cannot defeat a human."

Looking at the black giant whose figure was becoming increasingly faint, Roa let out a strange cry and, in anger, cut off Darius III's head with a knife.

Even so, the Berserker, who had the same fate as the Master, was still laughing and speaking intermittently.

"Don't be too proud... You are a monster that is only fit to hide in the dark and plot. Humans have never been your toys... Even if I fall... there will be others to defeat you. It's just a pity... I can't see you again..."

At the moment when the last trace of his existence disappeared, he finally uttered the name, the name that he had been chasing after both in life and after death. That was the wish he placed on the Holy Grail.

"The King of Macedonia... Iskander... I really want to... fight you... again."

◇◇◇

Dozens of kilometers away in the camp, a giant red-haired man was sleeping soundly with a bottle of wine in his arms. As he slept, his face was inexplicably twisted into a ball, and there was a faint crystal liquid flowing out of the corners of his eyes, as if he was mourning for his good opponent who had left.

That night, King Darius III of Persia died in battle!

The Fifth Holy Grail War had just officially begun, and a Servant had already sacrificed!

◇◇◇

"Pfft, what a bummer! These historical heroes are really troublesome guys."

Roa, who had killed Darius III with his own hands to vent his anger, seemed to be still unsatisfied and continued to wave his knife to cut off the remaining body and the "Soil of Creation" attached to it.

"Be careful or you'll get dragged in." Araya warned.

Since awakening the "origin" and merging with the concept of "stillness", there are not many things in this world that can threaten him. Even if his physical body can be destroyed again and again, he can be reborn from the concept continuously, it just takes time.

But Nero Chaos's "chaos" is different. It is something that can truly assimilate him conceptually and make his existence disappear.

Roa said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if you get involved. After all, the core of this 'chaos' was taught to Nero by me."

Nero Chaos nodded his head to show his approval. "'Inherent Barrier: Beast King's Lair', the Chaos Cage you taught me."

It was precisely because of this marriage that Nero Chaos became Roa's most steadfast ally. Even though two hundred years had passed, he would rush over immediately when Roa called him.

"But you shouldn't have been so hasty just now."

"If you don't do it, you won't be able to swallow the core part." Roa explained, "Servants are summoned by the Holy Grail system, and after death they will return to the Holy Grail system to become the energy to support the ceremony, so I said except for the 'necessary seven riders'. And if you swallow a servant of this level, no one knows what changes will happen to the 'chaos' in your body. Don't blame me if I can't fulfill my promise at that time."

"I believe you can do it. You are such a genius in magic. If you hadn't been hunted down by the True Ancestor's princess, you might have become a magician." Nero's firm tone fully demonstrated his trust in Roa.

Although he had the grace of teaching and imparting knowledge, Roa would not let Nero help him in vain. His promise to Nero was to help Nero sort out the system tree in his body, so that the uncontrollable "chaos" could evolve into laws and become truly controllable - this was something that only the original designer of "chaos" and the creator of "Inherent Barrier·Beast King's Nest" could do, and it was also one of the few things that Nero Chaos cared about.

Nero Chaos, who has become the collective consciousness, doesn't care about death, but who wants to die when they can live? This is the common instinct of every living thing.

"You really think highly of me."

In response to his ally's comments, Roa showed a rare smile that had nothing to do with pleasure.

"However, no matter what the result is, this matter will have to wait until the Holy Grail War is over. We failed to snatch the Servant this time, and I wonder when we will have to wait for the next one?"

Nero Chaos thought for a moment and said, "We don't have to wait."

"What's the meaning?"

"The woman that Araya Soren cared about was Ryougi Shiki. That woman was saved by two people in the end. One of them killed all the beasts I sent out with one sword. That person is very likely a Servant."

"One sword? That's a great possibility, it's worth a try." Roa nodded thoughtfully, "But before that, we have to think long-term. The combination of 'Mystic Eyes of Death Perception' and Servant is much more difficult than the rookie just now."

In the dark night, monsters hostile to humans have set their sights on new targets.
