I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Looking down at the three battle scenarios below, what will be the outcome...?

"Hey, Carl's easy to deal with, but you've never beaten me."

Lei Zhe's tone was lazy yet certain, clearly indicating that it was best not to gamble with him, as he had no interest in a sure-win situation.

Reinhardt smiled without saying a word, and watched the battle below with serious interest.

........

The three golden knights now each have their own rivals.

The Black Knight and Fujii Ren.

White Knight and Yuzashi Wolf.

So what about the Red Knight, Eluneore? And who is her enemy right now?

As the gazes of countless viewers shifted, Elunere, who was smoking a cigar on the Suwahara Bridge, closed her eyes and muttered to herself with a hint of helplessness:

"That performance just now was too contrived."

As he spoke, he slightly turned his head to look to the side, and said to him in a calm and indifferent tone:

"You should know you can't fool me. What are you really thinking?"

The person who answered this question is...

"nothing."

Holding the pseudo-black round table holy spear, which resembled a sword, Sakurai Hotaru spoke indifferently to Eluneore:

"These are just trivial personal matters."

The fact that Sakurai Hotaru appeared unharmed surprised many viewers who thought she was dead.

Wasn't the enemy already dead? Destroyed by Elunere's artillery fire.

They were quite certain that the other party was dead, after all, the altar for the Eighth Gold Altar had been opened and the soul had been sacrificed, which was the evidence.

But given the current situation, why is the other party still alive?

Previously, Sakurai Hotaru's relics were shattered by Reinhardt, and she should have been scattered on the Eighth Altar, but she is still alive.

This was originally impossible; it can only be described as a contradiction.

The previous destruction was not merely superficial, as evidenced by the eighth opening.

At that time, Sakurai Hotaru's relic did indeed scatter and fly away along with the soul within it.

Upon hearing Sakurai Hotaru's reply, Eluneore calmly stated, "It seems to be none of our business."

"Yes, at least I know I can't possibly lie to you."

As she spoke, Sakurai Hotaru pointed the pseudo-black round table holy spear, which resembled a sword, at Eluneore and said coldly, "After all, this was a gift from you."

"I see. The reason why the Eighth Altar of Transmutation will open is because the souls you collected, at the moment when their bodies collapsed and shattered due to the destruction of the sacred relic, signed a contract with the new sacred relic, thus saving their lives."

Elunere examined the relic in the other person's hand and revealed the real reason why the other person had survived, which cleared up the doubts of many viewers.

At this moment, the pseudo-black round table holy spear in the girl's hand was timely contracted with her original holy relic, the scarlet gold sword, when it was shattered.

At that time, what scattered and disappeared in the Eighth Gold Alchemy Array were the souls of countless people she had killed.

Sakurai Hotaru's soul is still here, and the pseudo-holy spear, which was originally like a giant sword, has not so much shrunk in length as it has been attracted and captured by the holy spear.

Relics that are inherently connected to the soul cannot be exchanged so easily.

After all, compatibility between people and relics is also important.

However, Sakurai Hotaru and the Pseudo-Holy Lance were an unexpected outcome.

Because, as the user, Hotaru Sakurai was chosen.

The artifacts' sense of smell will select the souls that the artifacts themselves desire.

In other words, to put it bluntly, it's about getting along well.

The person who carries the sacred relic is, in effect, a slave to the relic.

This naturally leads to slaves choosing to use weapons, while the slaves themselves have no freedom to choose their weapons.

If anyone could reverse this dominance, it would probably only be those beings who were born for it from the very beginning.

Of course, Hotaru Sakurai is not someone with such extraordinary privileges and talents.

But it was precisely because of this that the relic chose her, chose this qualified and good slave.

At the time of her death, another relic happened to choose the girl as its user.

Although it was a miraculous and accidental event, neither of the two adversaries found it incredible at the moment.

because......

"That's inevitable."

Elune looked at the pseudo-black round table holy spear in Sakurai Hotaru's hand and said to her calmly:

"After all, the relic in your hand was originally only intended for your Sakurai clan. If the previous one disappears, and the next bait is just an empty shell with the relic contract broken, whether you like it or not, that thing will naturally be happy to treat you as a slave and control you."

It's clear that the demon is manipulating the holy relic, yet this pseudo-Black Round Table Holy Lance is a contradiction.

For those who desire to control it, it is the most active of all the relics, after all, it is a replica of the Holy Lance in Heydrich's hands.

"That thing should have been a curse, but here you were saved by it."

Elune laughed at this, took the cigar from her mouth, and said to Sakurai Hotaru, "Or rather, you cleverly used me. Surprisingly clever, worthy of praise. I thought you were a dull little girl, how come you're so quick-witted?"

"You really know a lot about this stuff."

Sakurai Hotaru remained calm and showed no anger in the face of the other party's praise or disdain, simply saying indifferently.

"Of course, after all, I was the one who asked your clan to create 'it'."

Elunere wasn't boasting at this moment; instead, she shook her head as if complaining, looking contemptuously at the pseudo-holy spear in the other's hand, and sneered:

"The Holy Lance of the Black Round Table, a counterfeit... This thing is so boring, it's simply unbearable to look at. Valyria would probably say that, a fake of God."

As he spoke, it seemed he was recalling some people who had once feared, envied, and dreaded Reinhard Heydrich, especially a guy named Himmler.

That guy was the one who envied and was jealous of Reinhardt for being able to wield the Holy Lance, which is why the Black Round Table and the pseudo-Holy Lance came about later.

Ironically, even a replica of the genuine Holy Lance was beyond his ability to wield; only members of the Sakurai clan could possess it.

It was already quite remarkable that the Black Round Table agreed to let that guy create the fake Holy Lance.

To be honest, Elunere couldn't bear her true feelings either.

She had no idea of ​​the envy and fear those insignificant people felt that the Holy Lance could only be held by Heydrich.

"However, there's nothing we can do since it's Lord Heydrich's order."

Elunere shrugged helplessly. Himmler, as the symbol of the time, satisfied the little thing's vanity and gave it peace of mind, so that the other party would not hinder the development of the Black Round Table.

"So I summoned your grandfather, brought him from this country to my side, and had to grant him the status of an honorary Aryan, and let him join the Black Round Table."

"...You said, 'a gift'?"

Upon hearing this, Sakurai Hotaru's eyelids were obscured by shadows, and the atmosphere around her became deathly still.

However, Elunere paid no attention to the short creature's emotional changes and looked at Sakurai Hotaru with a cold smile;

"Yes, be happy! You have earned your glorious seats at the Black Round Table, standing out from ordinary people to serve Lord Heydrich. This is a great honor."

Don't say that Elunere forced and threatened Sakurai Hotaru's grandfather to join the Black Round Table; Elunere also has a bit of racial prejudice.

If it weren't for orders, she wouldn't have looked down on those monkeys from that island nation at all.

Not to mention her beloved subordinate, who was abducted by people from this country and died because of them.

Elunere didn't say anything, but she was also furious inside.

As for Sakurai Hotaru's grandfather, the original Tsuchiya Cain Devourer, he didn't need to force or tempt anyone; as long as they joined the Black Round Table, they could gain immense power.

In this world, during World War II in the German Empire, countless nations coveted the German Empire's superhuman forces because of Karl's propaganda and Gray's technology.

Countless people in Germany felt the greatest honor to be able to become a superman.

Anyone who distinguishes themselves on the battlefield, in addition to receiving the Iron Cross, has the opportunity to become a superman, a national hero.

The original plan, the Thirteen Knights of the Holy Lance, aimed to create the elite of the elite, the superhuman of superhumans.

The black round table had thirteen seats, a position that countless people dreamed of at the time.

Even within Japan, very few people can get in, so it's amazing that a foreigner can secure a spot. I wonder how many high-ranking officials from other countries are envious of this opportunity for Japan.

Don't just complain about how much you suffered because of the Black Round Table and the Holy Lance. In that era, the Sakurai Hotaru clan suffered more than just a curse.

Because of their connection with the Black Round Table, the entire family entered the underworld, and their status in the country rose accordingly, bringing them considerable benefits.

If it's true that Sakurai Hotaru's family was pitiful because of the curse, Eluneo doesn't deny that.

But if someone were to say that it was right for the other party to betray the Black Round Table in order to break the curse, then the Red Knight would definitely fire a cannon to kill the guy who said that.

Ordinary people want to gain power without paying the price; is there such a good thing in the world?

But it's clear that Sakurai Hotaru is currently only seeing the misfortune of her own family. Regarding Elunere's mention of honor, she said in a low voice:

"Honor...is it honor to have my grandfather create this thing, to have it passed down through generations, and to bind him forever to the black round table?"

"What else could it be?"

This is not sarcasm; the Red Knight genuinely thinks this way.

Elunere scoffed at Sakurai Hotaru's reaction. Seeing her expression, she seemed to recall something and sneered:

"Ah... a brat is a brat. Some people's inherent flaws can only see their own misfortunes, but they take the glory they gained from the Black Round Table for granted. In Grey's words, they are just clueless people, aren't they?"

Although Elunere disdains to understand the thoughts of some ordinary people, she is not lacking in wisdom to have become a major.

The souls devoured can also enrich a demon's experience.

Elunere probably understood Sakurai Hotaru's 'self-righteous' thoughts, which were nothing more than her dissatisfaction with the curse and misfortune brought by the Black Round Table Holy Lance.
