I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Even Himmler, the apparent leader, was no exception; he held a sense of inferiority towards this, and wanted to prevent the Holy Lance Longinus from being corrupted by worldly defilement.

Therefore, it is necessary to meticulously and secretly manufacture a replica of the Holy Lance Longinus that is identical to the original in both appearance and abilities.

[The Magic Cannon Soldier Elunere was ordered to hire the Sakurai family from Japan to create a replica of Himmler's Holy Lance.]

The Sakurai clan are a family of blacksmiths who have been priests for generations and are skilled in forging the mysterious metal—crimson gold—described in the Takeuchi Bunkan.

[If the exotic metal, scarlet gold, is used properly, it will surely be possible to create a realistic Holy Lance that will never break, never rust, and possesses the true power of the original.]

For this reason, whether it was out of honor or a political deal between nations, Musashi Sakurai, head of the Sakurai family, accepted the invitation and was ordered to create a replica of the Holy Lance, Longinus.

Seeing this, many viewers understood Germany's order, after all, the genuine article is extremely rare, and it is the legendary Lance of Longinus, the highest-ranking holy relic.

When Reinhardt's golden lance manifested, countless viewers felt a tremor in their souls. Anyone who saw it would believe that what he held was the absolute genuine article, the true holy lance.

What can be openly displayed by the Thirteen Knights of the Holy Lance is naturally not the genuine article.

The Sakurai clan's forging skills are similar; to prevent damage and theft of famous swords, they usually produce replicas.

However, most people were wrong about one thing: Sakurai Hotaru's voice became low and sorrowful, and all the audience could hear the sadness and despair in her tone.

Ironically, however, even the incredibly realistic replica of the Holy Lance Longinus remains a monster that ordinary people cannot wield.

Perhaps my great-grandfather's skills were simply too exceptional, or perhaps he was outmaneuvered; the replica Holy Lance he forged was undoubtedly beyond human control.

In the scene, Sakurai Musashi, who has forged a replica of the Holy Lance, is looking at his finished product with a serious yet appreciative expression.

But the other person suddenly widened their eyes, and the light and brilliance in their eyes instantly became as empty as a walking corpse, as if their soul had been sucked away.

The perspective shifts to the replica Holy Lance in Sakurai Musashi's hand. The newly forged replica Holy Lance is now radiating an incomparably terrifying aura of dark spiritual pressure.

The dark purple aura had materialized and burst forth with countless tentacles that wrapped around its creator, Sakurai Musashi.

To the astonishment of countless viewers, Sakurai Musashi's soul was ripped from his body and instantly devoured by the replica Holy Lance.

Sakurai Musashi was cursed to death by the replica of the Holy Lance that he himself forged.

This outcome left countless viewers speechless.

In the world of Genshin Impact, on the continent of Teyvat, Inazuma's Tenmoku and his apprentice Asou silently stopped their blacksmithing and forging.

"The blacksmith... was actually killed by the backlash of the weapon he forged. This is truly..."

The elderly Tenmoku Fifteen was filled with complex emotions upon witnessing this scene.

After all, Sakurai Musashi sounded like Inatsume from another world, and as the head of a forging family, he understood Inatsume's situation very well.

In Inazuma's history, it's not uncommon for blacksmiths to die from the backlash of their own weapons; on the contrary, there have been quite a few.

Inazuma was once associated with many legends of a demonic sword that gullibly killed people, so the old man Tenmoku Juu was surprised by the fate of Sakurai Musashi's death, but not too shocked.

"Master, Sakurai Musashi's forging skills are too good. Even the replica weapons he makes have this kind of power. Do you think this is an honor or a tragedy?"

Asou, an apprentice of the Tenmoku-ryu blacksmith shop and also a disciple of Tenmoku 15, looked at the scene on the screen with a complicated expression, showing Sakurai Musashi's death after losing his soul and being pierced by the Holy Spear.

Some are unsure whether this is an honor for the forger or a misfortune for the forging process.

"For us blacksmiths, this is an affirmation of our skills, but it is also an...unfortunate honor." The old man, Tenmoku Juu, stroked his beard and sighed with a complicated tone as he looked at the image of Sakurai Musashi's soul being devoured.

The fact that even replicas of weapons possess such terrifying power is surely an affirmation of Sakurai Musashi's skills.

However, being too outstanding backfired, which is why Tenmoku Fifteen said it was an unfortunate honor.

In response, the old man of Liyue, Wagner of Mondstadt, and Arhanger of Sumeru all watched the scene of Sakurai Musashi being killed by the backlash with complicated expressions and sighs.

This scene had a significant impact on the forgers, leaving them with mixed feelings, including indescribable sympathy and sorrow.

Returning to the video, the tragedy that Sakurai Hotaru mentioned goes beyond that.

Himmler still couldn't touch the Black Round Table Lance, forged at the cost of his great-grandfather's life, and the replica Lance even chose the Sakurai clan, who forged the fake, as its contractor.

The demonic title "Tuhachi Cain" thus became part of a curse that bound the Sakurai clan.

The Black Round Table Holy Lance continuously devoured and absorbed the souls of the Sakurai clan, transforming them into corpse soldiers—that is, degraded war slave heroic spirits.

However, the original Sakurai clan was completely unable to resist this powerful force and was captivated by it. Even knowing the enormous price to pay, they continued to come into contact with the pseudo-holy spear, ultimately ending in a tragic conclusion.

This is the true identity of the second member of the Black Round Table of the Thirteen Knights of the Holy Lance, the Death Eater.

Rather than saying the Sakurai clan wields the Pseudo-Holy Lance, it's more accurate to say that the Pseudo-Holy Lance has always dominated the Sakurai clan.

[Because whoever comes into contact with the Black Round Table's pseudo-holy spear will, over time, completely become a zombie, their individual personality and will disappear entirely, their soul will be devoured by the holy relic, and their physical body will be fused and devoured into one by the zombie soldier, Tu Ba Cain.]

[Although Tsuchiya Cain will decay and deteriorate due to continuous battles, once his body is on the verge of collapse, he will designate the next generation of the Sakurai clan to succeed him.]

Although the replica Holy Lance essentially only took the souls of the Sakurai clan, due to the characteristics of its replica weapon, it can still be considered a top-tier member of the Black Round Table.

But ever since then, the Sakurai family has been cursed by the Black Round Table Pseudo-Gun, destined to become TubalCain Devourers. For sixty years, how to escape this curse has been the Sakurai family's greatest sorrow.

As Hotaru Sakurai narrates, what is presented to the audience on screen is the story of how each member of the Sakurai clan comes into contact with the Holy Lance for various reasons.

In the end, their souls were all devoured by the relics, and their powerful bodies became part of the monster soldier, Cain, making the soldier's physical strength second only to the Holy Grail.

When a body is damaged or decays due to battle, another member of the Sakurai clan will take its place, and the cycle never ends.

It starts with Sakurai Musashi, then moves on to the female character Sakurai Rei, and then to Sakurai Hotaru's older brother, Sakurai Kai.

Because the replica of the Holy Lance made by the Black Round Table is only allowed to be touched by the Sakurai family, the relationship between this family and the Black Round Table cannot be severed.

This tragic fate will befall every member of the Sakurai clan.

Countless viewers were astonished to see that the terrifying corpse giant had such a tragic past.

Moreover, that giant corpse was entirely composed of the blood relatives of the girl Sakurai Hotaru.

The soul was devoured, and the powerful body was merged into one; it was a truly tragic example of an ending.

[The Lustful Immortal]: This... is truly tragic. The entire clan will have their souls devoured by this holy spear.

[Siegfried]: This fate is indeed quite tragic and miserable, but this replica Holy Lance is only targeting the Sakurai clan.

【Coral Palace Shrine Maiden】: The corpses of all the Sakurai clan members throughout history have been transformed into part of Tsuchiya Cain, and their souls have all been devoured by the holy relics. The Black Round Table Devourer seat is a huge pit.

【Vaidra-Prindea】: Forged holy lances all have this curse, so Reinhard, who can wield the genuine holy lance, is truly a monster.

[The Seven Deadly Sins Leader]: Then I can understand Sakurai Hotaru's desire to revive others. The people she cherishes have probably become part of this zombie army.

【Cardcaptor Sakura】: She herself is also a member of the Sakurai clan. If no one else takes her place, she will probably become a zombie soldier one day.

Tragic, an undeniably tragic fate, and a miserable end.

The seat at the Black Round Table for the Devourer of Death, though a seat for the strong, is also a seat for the tragic.

Sakurai Hotaru's entire family sacrificed their souls and bodies for this position, becoming part of the corpse monster, and living only as walking corpses from now on.

Furthermore, as long as the Black Round Table is not completely destroyed and the Sakurai clan is not completely wiped out, as long as Dohachi and Cain engage in battle, damage will inevitably occur.

At that time, even Sakurai Hotaru will not be able to escape the fate of becoming a member of the Death Eaters. If she has any blood relatives or descendants, she will also encounter this tragic fate.

Chapter 82 Sakurai Rei, Sakurai Kai, Beatrice

Including the original Sakurai Musashi, there have been three relatively famous members of the Sakurai family who have become the Eighth Prince, Kagami.

The original Sakurai Musashi, and Sakurai Musashi's grandson, Sakurai Rei.

[The successor to my great-grandfather, Sakurai Musashi, was his granddaughter, Sakurai Rei, who is also my aunt.]

She became a mercenary to escape a curse, and her physical strength was the highest among all the Sakurai family members.

Generally speaking, the Sakurai family members are mostly calm, quiet, and somewhat brooding, but Sakurai Rei is unrestrained, rough, and has a strong personality that rivals that of men.

She loathed the Sakurai clan's destiny of inheriting the false Black Round Table Holy Lance and losing their humanity to become undead soldiers. Since her early teens, she had wandered various countries, working as a mercenary. This was an escape attempt to use up her life force before being chosen by the false Holy Lance as its successor.

Before countless viewers, the story unfolds as a young girl from the Sakurai family rebels against her family's fate, struggling with all her might in a series of seemingly rebellious acts.

Countless viewers expressed their understanding, as no one can accept that their life is destined to end in tragedy, with their soul being devoured by the relic and their body being fused with the corpse soldiers.

It is human nature to rebel, and all of Sakurai Rei's rebellious actions were acts of resistance.

He wanted to live his life in a fiery, intense way, but he might die one day as a mercenary.

But even in death, she will decide her own end, rather than having it decided by the Holy Lance.

This is the significance of Sakurai Rei's forceful and rebellious struggle.

However, her fate still ended in an ironic twist of fate, Sakurai Hotaru sighed softly as she continued.

However, in 1970, my aunt, Rei Sakurai, encountered Grand Duke Wilhelm during the Vietnam War. After the battle, she was, without exception, severely wounded and on the verge of death.

Between life and death, he was tempted by the fake Black Round Table Lance, and ultimately became the second Cain.

Although her previous intense and rebellious behavior was essentially a desire for death, in the moment before she died, perhaps because she couldn't accept that she would ultimately die at the hands of a monster, she still rebelled and made a helpless choice.

Although Sakurai Rei inherited the pseudo-Black Round Table Lance, she continued to search for a way to break the curse before fully transforming into a zombie, but all her efforts were in vain. In 1975, Sakurai Rei was completely transformed into a zombie, and her body decayed eighteen years later.

Although my aunt resented the Black Round Table and the Sakurai family, she hated herself even more for not being able to break the curse in her own generation.

No one could ever truly understand her inner world. She was aloof and lonely, and because she took no responsibility, she was neither understood nor rescued by anyone.

Silently, countless viewers watched as the second-generation Dohachi Cain, a girl named Sakurai Rei, began to rebel against her destiny in her teens.

The essence of rebellion and passion is to rapidly burn through one's life in order to obtain a death that one can accept.

However, when he was close to death, he was ultimately seduced by the Holy Lance and became the second-generation Cain.

Living intensely, yet ultimately being devoured by fate.

Even after becoming the second-generation Tuba Cain, he did not completely give up on himself and continued to search for a way to break the curse.

But it was as if fate was playing tricks on her, and her silent resistance still met with the inevitable end.

He was never understood by anyone in his life, and there was no one who understood him.

But this tragic fate is not over yet; the video, which is like a memory, continues.

This fate was bound to befall Sakurai Hotaru sooner or later, which is to say, me. However, to prevent this from happening, my twin brother took all the blame upon himself.

[Sakurai Kai, my most beloved older brother, is peaceful by nature and doesn't like to argue with others, but he strives to end the karmic entanglement that has bound the Sakurai family to the Black Round Table for generations, in his own generation.]

The older brother was relentlessly striving at the Black Round Table, his motivation being to prevent that fate from befalling his sister. Having already resigned himself to a tragic end, he was no longer concerned with his own fate.

Even though my brother is entangled in fate, he still has his own happiness. He is in love with Beatrice, the former War Maiden who held the fifth seat at the Black Round Table, where I belong.

However, their love also brought about an unfortunate chemical reaction in their destinies.
