"I have no interest in interfering with the fate of humanity in this world, nor do I have any interest in destroying human nature. I have only one goal from beginning to end: the root!" Irisviel said seriously.

“The source?” Olga Marie asked in surprise after hearing Irisviel’s goal.

"Your goal is surprisingly traditional! You know, in this era, even a traditional magus like my father doesn't really care about the source of the illusory!"

"But if that's the case, then we're not actually enemies! You pursue your roots, and I pursue my beautiful world. We can keep to ourselves, so why are you trying to stop me?"

“Because…” Irisviel said with a smile:

"The future of mankind should be created by itself. Any attempt to seek help from external forces, whether it is a high god or an idolized king, will only bring disaster."

"I see, that's a really weird idea!"

The stars were shining in the sky. Olga Marie looked at the alien creature that wanted to fight her, her eyes full of doubts:

“Should I say you are stupid or stubborn? It would be better to leave the fate of mankind in this world to me, but you only want to keep the fate of mankind in your own hands. If humans can really create a beautiful world, would there still be so many tragedies in this world? However, since you choose to be my enemy, then out of respect for my opponent, I will use this starry sky to completely shatter your delusion!”

After saying that, Olga Marie's hands shone with magic light. In the deep sky, the light reflected by Mercury became more and more dazzling, and then turned into a shadow and smashed towards the direction where Irisviel was. It was as if Mercury in the sky fell to the earth and was about to collide with the earth.

Is this, celestial magic?

No, this is too powerful!

Having spent so many years in the Type-Moon World and having studied magic for so long, Irisviel naturally knew about the existence of celestial magic. It was a high-level magic that circulated in the Clock Tower, and the specialty of the Clock Tower's celestial department.

She also knew that what was falling from the sky and hitting her was not a planet from the universe, but a planetary concept created by Olga Marie using her magic. But it was this concept that also made Irisviel feel unprecedented pressure!

"Celestial Magic · Mercury · Retrograde!"

While Irisviel was surprised, the young Olga Marie chuckled and said:

"In astrology, Mercury retrograde means everything goes wrong and things move slowly. So when I summon the Mercury concept, the surrounding space and time will also experience Mercury retrograde. Irisviel, you should feel honored, this is a magic I cast specifically to restrain you!"

Chapter 214 Zhanlu

In the courtyard of the Matou residence, under the cold moonlight.

Lancer held a spear in his hand, looking at the evil-looking man in front of him, and felt as if he had seen a demon from myth and legend.

Invincible and unfathomable, even Lancer felt an unprecedented sense of powerlessness in the face of such wanton magic and malice.

Next to Lancer, Hercules, the Berserker of this Holy Grail War, was holding the Hundred-Head Shooter and looking at Goetia with a serious expression. At this moment, even the Berserker's berserk attribute could not suppress Hercules' instinctive fear of Goetia.

Just as the two heroes were ready to fight to the death, Goetia on the opposite side chanted the mysterious Hebrew again, summoning the legendary 72 demons. A white summoning magic circle shone around his body, and then a little girl riding a dromedary, holding a magic spell book in her hand and wearing a crown on her head walked out of the summoning circle.

Looking at that cute and petite figure, Lancer did not dare to neglect her at all. This was because this little girl also contained a vast amount of magic power. And above the magic power, she was a person of the highest rank.

This is Paimon, one of the seventy-two Demon Pillars and the most skilled in space magic among the four supreme pillars.

After Paimon appeared, she began to flip through the magic book in her hand quickly. In just a few seconds, she found a mysterious spell in the magic book. Under Lancer's vigilant eyes, Paimon chanted the mysterious spell, and then her petite body began to expand rapidly. First, her height became slender, and then a lot of muscles began to stretch out on her limbs, and then a spear appeared in Paimon's hand.

In just a short period of time, Paimon transformed from a petite loli into a female warrior holding a spear like Lancer.

At this time, Goetia also added:

"Don't take Paimon lightly just because she's cute! As one of the top four pillars among the 72 Demon Pillars, Paimon not only masters high-level space-time magic, but is also very good at imitating. Most Heroic Spirits can imitate their abilities as long as she takes a look at them. So it's not an exaggeration to say that Paimon is good at imitating Demon Gods!"

After hearing Goetia's story, Lancer naturally didn't believe it at all.

After all, he was one of the three knights, the Knight of the Spear, and the best at close combat among the seven Heroic Spirits. It would be fine if he lost to Caster in a head-on battle, but if he lost even in close combat, and lost to one of Caster's summons, then he would be too ashamed to face anyone even if he returned to the Throne of Heroes!

Thinking this, Lancer rushed towards Paimon with his spear in hand. Paimon, who had transformed from a loli into a muscular girl, also took a stance, and the spear condensed with magic in her hand also collided with Lancer. Berserker still stood there, confronting Goetia.

In an instant, the courtyard of the Matou residence was filled with figures holding spears. The Liquan Spear in Lancer's hand could be hard or soft, constantly changing its form to attack Paimon, but was blocked by the spear in Paimon's hand again and again. The two sides fought back and forth, and for a while, it was a draw.

Are you kidding me?

Being pushed back several steps by Paimon's spear, Lancer felt an unprecedented humiliation. It was fine to be at a disadvantage in the battle, but as a spearman, he was suppressed by his opponent's spearmanship. This was too unreasonable!

Not to mention that Lancer clearly felt his own shadow in Paimon's movements. Recalling the fight just now, Lancer felt that Paimon on the other side was just like another self!

Just as Goetia said, this Paimon was indeed good at imitating the demon god. With the help of the magic chant just now, she not only had the physical fitness comparable to Lancer, but also mastered Lancer's well-honed spearmanship.

Just as Lancer was about to move forward, Paimon's body began to change again. She became shorter and the spear in her hand turned into a long sword.

This is, Saber?

It turns out that after seeing that he could not defeat Lancer himself with Lancer's abilities, Paimon changed the person he imitated, from Lancer with a spear to Saber with stronger comprehensive abilities!

Seeing Paimon's changes, Lancer smiled.

Very good, Saber! I was originally regretful that I had encountered such a strong enemy, and this Holy Grail War would end here. I didn't expect that with the help of this little white guy, I could taste your long sword again!

Paimon, huh? I just hope your imitation ability is strong enough, after all, Saber's clear fighting spirit is hard to come by!

Immediately afterwards, Lancer and Paimon collided again.

So strong!

After just one fight, Lancer was at a disadvantage.

This guy actually imitated Saber's close combat ability! Whether it was speed or strength, including the martial arts that had been honed through thousands of trials, he imitated them 100%.

However, what is fake is still fake after all!

Although Paimon's physical skills looked exactly like Saber's, Lancer knew that this was not Saber at all!

"You are indeed very good at imitating, but unfortunately, there are some things in this world that cannot be imitated!"

The spear drew a spark on the ground, and the Liquan Spear, carrying a sharp wind, stabbed straight at Paimon's chest. Paimon waved his sword to block it, but at the same time, Lancer pulled out the long sword behind him, and the black sword carried mysterious power and stabbed straight at Paimon's right hand.

Seeing Lancer holding spear and sword and attacking from both sides, Paimon was unable to dodge in time and was cut on the wrist by Lancer's spear. Scarlet blood immediately gushed out from Paimon's right wrist.

Seeing that her right wrist was injured, Paimon immediately changed from the heroic sword-wielding girl to her petite and cute appearance at the beginning. She held her right hand with tears in her eyes, whimpering, glaring at Lancer like a bullied child, and cursing in a soft voice:

"Damn you, Paimon is going to give you an ugly nickname!"

Ugly nickname? Haha, although Paimon is powerful, his temperament is indeed as naughty as a child!

Although he was complaining in his heart, Lancer never let down his guard. Because with the help of the name Paimon, Lancer already knew the real name of his opponent.

The man who can summon the seventy-two demon pillars, is this guy the legendary King of Magic Solomon?

Even though he was a heroic spirit from the Eastern world, Lancer had learned from Kenneth the fame of King Solomon, and knew that he was a great figure in the history of Western magic, comparable to Jiang Ziya in the Eastern world. When fighting against such an opponent, he had to be careful.

While Lancer was thinking, Goetia summoned another demon god again. There was a thunder in the sky, and a girl with long purple hair appeared in front of Lancer. She had the majesty of a god, her eyes were cold and ruthless, and the long sword in her hand danced with purple lightning. The sharp aura emanating from her body made Lancer subconsciously take a half step back.

This is the leader of the legendary seventy-two demon pillars, the first demon, Baal?

I never thought that in this Holy Grail War, I would be able to fight against a being with the status of a god!

After Baal appeared, his body gradually floated in the air, with the long sword in his hand raised high, and violent thunder suddenly filled the entire sky.

"This sword is eternal!"

As Baal spoke indifferently, half of the sky's thunder focused on the long sword in her hand, gathering a dazzling light. Lancer felt the majesty of this sword and tightened his grip on the black long sword again. Because he knew that his Liquan gun could not block the brilliance of the thunder in the sky, only this black long sword could. Although he was unable to exert the full power of this sword due to the limitations of his job, Lancer was confident that the demon god Baal could not cut off this long sword.

At this moment, the long sword slashed down, and the surging thunder killed Lancer like a torrent.

But no matter how powerful the thunder was, it turned into nothingness the moment it touched the black sword. It was as if it had met its nemesis. The thunder of the strongest demon god could not cause any damage to the black sword.

How can this be?

Looking at the sword in Lancer's hand, even Goetia opened his mouth slightly.

What kind of treasure is this sword? Are there any legends about Yue Fei related to swords?

In doubt, Getia immediately used magic to explore the origin of the long sword in Lancer's hand. However, after analyzing it, Getia became even more shocked. This was because in Getia's analysis, the name of this sword was:

Zhanlu!

……

According to legend, there was a horse named Dilu. A virtuous king could ride on it to turn misfortune into fortune and turn disaster into blessing; but an immoral person would only be despised by it and eventually die.

According to legend, there is a sword called Zhanlu. It is a spiritual sword that can choose its own master. The black blade is like the eyes of God, watching the every move of the king of the world. If there is a way, the sword will be there, if there is no way, the sword will be gone.

In fact, the so-called Dilu horse does not exist at all. Horses are essentially just livestock. How can they know who is virtuous and who is not?

In fact, the so-called Zhanlu Sword does not exist. A sword is essentially just a sharp weapon. How can it know who is righteous and who is not?

Whether it is the Dilu horse or the Zhanlu sword, they are ultimately nothing but empty dreams.

The kings of this world, whether they are virtuous or not, will not have a horse or a sword to judge them, monitor them, and punish them.

However, although the Dilum horse and the Zhanlu sword do not exist, there is one illusory thing that truly exists in the world.

His name is Human Heart!

There is no Dilu horse in the world that can enforce justice on behalf of heaven, because the common people in the world are the real Dilu! If the king is virtuous, the common people will naturally support him and he will be successful in everything! If the king is immoral, the common people will naturally despise him and he will be deserted by his friends and relatives!

There is no Zhanlu sword in the world that can monitor the king, because the eyes of the people are the real Zhanlu! If the king is righteous, the people will obey and the world will bow down! If the king is unrighteous, the people will rebel and the country will be destroyed!

Now, what Lancer holds in his hand is the famous sword that has been famous throughout the ages, Zhanlu!

Legend has it that he took tin from the Chijin Mountain, copper from the Ruoye River, the Rain Master swept the ground, the Thunder God struck, a dragon held the furnace, and the Emperor of Heaven loaded the charcoal. It took about three years for the sword to be completed. When the sword was completed, the brilliance of the sword penetrated the sky, the sun and the moon shone, the stars avoided anger, ghosts and gods cried, and the King of Yue was impressed.

The essence of the five metals, the essence of the sun, it is divine when it appears, and powerful when you take it!

This is Zhanlu!

Zhanlu is ranked second among the ten famous swords in China!

The famous sword Zhanlu represents the way of benevolence and righteousness, and represents the hearts of the people in the world!

At this moment, it was firmly held in Yue Fei's hand, completely black, without any trace. In the night sky, its dark sword body had no brilliance. Compared with the Hero King's treasures that shone with golden light, it was so humble and inconspicuous. Just like a pariah meeting a noble king, its black body looked so ordinary against the golden light.

But it is this lowly black, this humble pariah, this ordinary treasure, that is the real king of this world, the so-called foundation of the kingly way, and the most powerful treasure in the world!

When this sword comes out, the king will bow down!

As a treasure, the nature of this sword is essentially the same as that of the Heaven's Chain, both are treasures for rectification!

The level itself is unknown! It may be the lowest level E, or it may be the highest level EX!

If the so-called Heavenly Chain symbolizes the king's admonition to the gods, then Zhanlu symbolizes the restraint of the common people on the highest power!

In front of this treasure, no matter if they are kings, heroes, tyrants or demons, their greatest reliance, their treasures, will lose most of their effects.

Just because the so-called treasure itself is the proof of the hero! It is the crystallization of human's wish for miracles, and the weapon is built with human fantasy as the framework.

Since it is the crystallization of human thoughts and the weapon of human fantasy, whether it is a treasure or magic, even the 72 Demon Pillars, it will inevitably be restrained. Because the roots of all these treasures and magic come from the fantasy of all living beings.

In front of such a treasure, any treasure that comes from the fantasy of ordinary people, any magic that embodies the wishes of the people, will be invalidated. The level of this treasure will also change with the level of the opponent's fantasy, and the Demon Pillar confronting it at this time is undoubtedly an EX-level existence among the heroic spirits. Correspondingly, Zhanlu's level is also EX-level!

So when he saw Zhanlu, Goetia felt an unprecedented fear. Because even the beast of original sin, the seventy-two demons Goetia could rely on were all derived from the fantasy of all living beings. Whether it was Baal or Paimon, or even the book that King Solomon's people worshipped as a god, it was essentially the same.

Since it is the fantasy of all living beings, it will be restrained by Zhanlu, the symbol of all living beings. Therefore, no matter how powerful the 72 Demon Pillars are, they cannot break Zhanlu's defense. This is a suppression of status, and it is also the foundation of all fantasies, a denial of fantasy itself.

Fortunately, Lancer cannot unleash the full power of this sword. This is because Lancer's master, Kenneth, is a fool who foolishly modified Lancer's summoning circle and let his fiancée supply Lancer with mana instead of himself. Although this saves his own mana, it also makes Lancer lose an inherent skill, making him unable to release the real name of Zhanlu.

I can only say that this is fate!

During his lifetime, Lancer was feared by the monarch and bore a grudge against Feng Bo Ting because he had the support of all the people.

At this time, Lancer was unable to exert his full strength due to his monarch's stupidity and could only suffer a disadvantage in battles.

For Lancer, the monarch is his greatest calamity.

If he cannot break free from this calamity, he is doomed to not be able to exert his strongest strength.

Just like the Zhanlu sword in his hand.

It represents the will of all living beings, and can only exert its full power in the hands of an indomitable leader. When this leader chooses to shake his head and wag his tail at the king, Zhanlu is destined to be buried in the dust!

Chapter 215 Irisviel's Illusion

The famous sword Zhanlu, which was covered in dust, was destined not to be a sharp weapon in Lancer's hands. So facing the combined forces of Baal and Paimon, he was forced to retreat again and again. Berserker wanted to help, but was stopped by Asmodeus summoned by Goetia. Just as the battle situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable, a long sword arc suddenly came from the distance of the Matou residence.

That is Saber's holy sword!

At this critical moment, Saber finally arrived here and joined Lancer's side to confront Goetia's Demon Pillar. Looking at Saber, Lancer couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief:

"Thank you."

"It's nothing, Lancer. Don't forget, we still have a knight duel to fight! I won't allow you to leave before the duel!"

Hearing Saber's words, Lancer smiled carefreely.

"Isn't this natural? A man's word is as good as gold. If I can really fight you, I won't back down!"
