Or, why don’t you find another savior?

Gray herself was taught by Belsak as the next generation of gravekeeper and had a great talent for spirits, so she could clearly feel the unusual atmosphere underground.

But I didn't expect that Shiomi could do it too.

"And the fluctuation of magic power is almost non-existent." Ash said, "This is the graveyard that symbolizes that Altria guy."

"more or less."

Shiomi said.

He and the Second slightly quickened their pace, while Ash and Gray followed slowly and leisurely behind them.

"Um... Madam, what did you talk about with your mother yesterday?" Gray finally had the chance to ask.

Yesterday, after Ash was invited to the house, Gray left after her mother asked her to do something.

Ever since Gray's appearance changed, her mother, who once loved her, has become like the villagers and has a fanatical belief in her.

So when her mother asked her to do something like she did in the past, Gray suddenly felt very happy and did it without thinking.

But when I returned home, Jian had left and only my mother was left. Her attitude had returned to the same as before and she didn't explain what had happened.

"You'll know soon." Ash answered Gray in a steady voice.

It was another way of avoiding the topic. Gray was a little frustrated. Only the cool and delicate touch from her hand told her that she could continue to trust the lady.

The two were not much slower than Shiomi and Nise. They followed closely behind, walked through the underground passage, and came to a large underground cave.

It is almost the same size as the location of the Greater Holy Grail in Fuyuki City.

Not only that, there are a large number of skeletons locked up in this vast space. There are not just one or two, but dozens or even hundreds of human bones everywhere, leaving no place for people to stand.

Just as Jian just said, this should be the location of Blackmore's real tomb.

"No... Is this really a cemetery? Even in the Clock Tower, the underground is special... Because the underground is different from the surface, there are still many crystallized mysteries left... If this is the case here..."

The Second covered his chin, swallowed and muttered to himself.

"Unfortunately, there is no time for you to continue your analysis, Nishi." Shiomi suddenly interrupted Nishi.

"what?"

The Second looked up and saw a sudden change in the space. The bones seemed to be controlled by invisible threads. They floated into the sky one by one and combined into skeleton soldiers.

They stood up one after another, holding weapons made of bones in their hands.

Some are swords, some are guns, and some are bows and arrows.

Just like the soldiers of ancient times.

"No wonder I can't feel any magic here. It turns out that it was all swallowed up by these guys."

As Shiomi said this, a skeleton soldier swung his sword and slashed at him. Gray hurriedly took out the cage under her cloak and planned to call out to Yade.

However, the action of rushing out was interrupted by the scene before him.

Xi Jiantianxi took out a black spear out of thin air and smashed the skeleton soldiers into pieces, rolling all over the place.

"Oh, what a warm welcome," Shiomi said without any panic, "but it's a pity that I'm already too familiar with the Skeleton Soldiers."

The magic spear in his hand is Ash's weapon.

Because Ash never advised him to use the Spear of Death, the two of them established a new relationship based on the re-contract.

With just a thought, the weapon would appear in his hand.

"It's still the same as always, with combat effectiveness that leaves people speechless." The Second Emperor pursed his lips.

The skeleton soldiers surrounded them one after another. Gray was worried and summoned Yad, who transformed into a scythe with thousands of swords to help. However, when he was blocking the skeleton soldiers, his hands were numb from the opponent's slashing.

These skeletons are not as fragile as they look and can be defeated with just one blow.

Watching Shiomi dealing with the skeleton soldiers as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, Gray silently retreated in front of the remaining two people and concentrated on defending against the soldiers who took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

The continuous attacks made Grey exhausted. Just when she was forced to reveal her weakness, the skeleton soldier who was about to take Grey's life was blasted away by the light bullet flying behind Grey.

The girl turned around and saw Jian raising his hand like he was raising a teacup. His fingertips were like an automatic rifle, firing grain-sized light bullets one by one.

The skeleton soldiers that approached were all defeated.

Gray couldn't help but pull up her hood in shame and bury her face a little lower.

Perhaps she was the most incompetent one in the group, and these guests did not need her protection at all. Mr. Belsac asked her to come along, not to be a bodyguard.

"It turns out that they are failures that failed to become Servants. When there are a large number of them, even if they have defective spiritual bases, they will inevitably be a bit difficult to deal with." Ash slowly put down his hand.

"Yeah, but apparently the big shot here doesn't intend to wait for me to clean up these skeleton soldiers, so he can't help but show up."

As Xijian spoke, he swept out with the gun in his hand, and the wind pressure cut off a row of skeleton soldiers.

He had noticed that behind these skeleton soldiers that appeared one after another, there was a figure standing.

The girl stood there like a queen leading these defective servants, with a golden mask on her face.

"Why are you here?"

The masked girl asked quietly.

"The time is not yet ripe, and the future king has not yet awakened. You are on the ground, and I am underground. You and I should wait quietly in our respective places."

She ignored Xijian and didn't look at Jian, but spoke directly to Gray.

After saying these words that sounded like a warning, the masked girl turned around and walked deeper into the cave.

"Let's go back."

The other party left this last sentence.

Chapter 14 Resurrection Ceremony

"Wait a moment!"

Gray instinctively made a sound, trying to stop the masked girl from asking more questions, but more skeleton soldiers came up and surrounded the group.

This is an underground cave. Although it has been extremely solid for hundreds of years, it was built under ordinary conditions.

Whether it is Shiomi or Ash, it is not difficult to wipe out these skeleton soldiers. The problem is that if they use the great magic, it will inevitably produce a chain reaction, causing the underground of the entire church to collapse, and then the whole church will fall down together.

If the whole thing is exposed to the world, the whole village will inevitably be affected by huge changes.

Therefore, Ash could only use magic to safely block the Skeleton Soldiers' sneak attack, while Shiomi cleaned up the remaining Skeleton Soldiers from the other side.

"Ash!" Xi Jian suddenly shouted, "I want to send these incomplete undead souls back to the world over there!"

Jian hesitated for a moment, then she pulled Gray's shoulder, and the girl stumbled back and leaned on Jian.

The Second also stepped back at this time and stood behind Ash, being enveloped by the barrier she had opened.

The skeleton soldiers swung their weapons, but it was like hitting solid colorless glass, making useless muffled sounds.

At the other end, Shiomi raised the magic spear above his head, spun it, and then suddenly stabbed it into the ground.

"Open it, door!"

Then, an illusory door gradually emerged and opened, emitting a blinding white light that made it impossible for people to open their eyes.

The wind mixed with the breath of death blew by, and both Gray and the Second felt clearly that without the barrier of Ash, they would be deprived of their vitality in an instant and turned into fresh corpses.

After a moment, the light faded.

Gray slowly opened her eyes and found that the surroundings had become the same as before, with skeletons everywhere making it impossible to stand.

But this time, she was absolutely sure that these bones would never wake up again and would not gather around her in groups again.

In the vast cave, only Shiomi was still standing, leaning on the gun in his hand, silent.

After a while, Xijian picked up the gun and walked towards them.

"What was that just now..." The Second was very curious.

He always felt that Xi Jian Tianxi was like an ancient magic book, which would occasionally produce some incredible magic.

"It's just a large-scale anti-spirit magic." Shiomi said as he brushed the dust off his clothes, as if it was something insignificant.

The second generation pinched his chin, "Is it possible that he even dabbled in spiritual magic... No, should I say, as expected..."

He didn't find it strange. A good magician would always be good at more than one type of magic, and Shiomi should be no exception.

Jian snapped his fingers, and the barrier gradually disappeared.

"Well done." Jian commented calmly.

"It's okay." Xijian couldn't help but want to scratch his head, but he resisted the urge.

After all, what happened just now, strictly speaking, cannot be considered a proper magic. It was just a magic that opened a small gap between the Shadow Kingdom and the real world, and sucked in things like the undead.

First of all, it is useless to Servants, and secondly, it cannot allow anything other than the undead to pass through. Living people will only have their magic power and vitality taken away when they are caught off guard.

And the most important thing is that it requires a place like the Shadow Kingdom to use it.

For example, this underground cemetery is essentially a replica of things excavated from the underworld, and it has acquired similar properties after a long period of accumulation.

In short, it was just a poor imitation of another treasure held by the master through magic.

He is not the master of that country, so this is all he can do.

After realizing this during the battle with the skeleton soldiers, Shiomi decisively took this measure.

Ash didn't say much about Shiomi's reaction. She couldn't possibly ask Shiomi to give up the skills that she had spent many years to acquire and seek something else.

So, a little vinegar is enough.

She didn't want to be laughed at by that woman who might not be much older than her.

"But then again, I didn't expect to encounter Altria's 'spirit'." Ash couldn't help but sigh, "What a good plan."

The Second suddenly realized, "So it's King Arthur's 'spirit', that makes sense."

He looked down at Gray, whose hood had just been blown open by the wind and who had not yet had time to put it back on, and finally understood what that face that looked exactly like Altria meant.

This girl, who was being trained as the next generation gravekeeper, was the "body".

"There are three elements that make up a person: body, mind, and soul. Any two of them alone are not enough to make a complete person." Shiomi nodded. "This is especially true for the heroes in legends."

only……

Having said that, he stole a glance at Jian.

As a familiar that remains in the world after a re-contract, although it can maintain a fixed physical form, it is not a real body, but something temporarily formed by magic power.

It will disappear when the magic power is exhausted.

When he thought about the fact that he had slept in the same bed with her for several years, Xi Jian inexplicably felt a little embarrassed to look at Jian while discussing this topic.

"Gray, you should know that your clan was cultivated as the flesh of King Arthur." Shiomi continued, "But only you resonated with the soul of King Arthur in the present world during the Holy Grail War nine years ago, and your body and appearance changed."

"Hmm..." Gray pursed her lips and nodded silently.

She didn't know anything about the Holy Grail War, but she knew exactly what the changes that had happened to her meant.

"But King Arthur left a few days later because of the end of the Holy Grail War." Shiomi continued. The Holy Church had no time to confirm the situation. "So your appearance is synchronized with King Arthur, but your hair remains in its original state."

Imitate the spirit of King Arthur, then prepare a perfect body that can accommodate this spirit, and finally put the soul of King Arthur in the present world into it.

Trinity.

The resurrection of King Arthur - Altria Pendragon can be completed.

"But if Altria knew about this, she would definitely refuse it first." Xi Jian shook her head when she said this, "After all, the king never cared about me from beginning to end. She only cared about Britain and this world."

At this time, the Second Emperor thought of another thing.

"Even if these three things are complete, Gray still has her own soul and spirit in her body. If we can't separate the two without damaging her body—"

"Maybe, I'll use this."

Jian stretched out his hand, holding a golden dagger.

Chapter 15: 'Blade of Gold'

It was a sharp dagger with a curved blade. In the large underground cave that was lit only by illumination, the dagger reflected a dazzlingly beautiful golden light.

If I must make an analogy, it is the same type of exquisite artifacts as those in the treasury of the Hero King Gilgamesh.

"What is this?" The Second asked.
