Shirou, who returned from the Fairy Kingdom

Luvia walked out of the line alone.

"Leave the rest to me."

The girl with golden curly hair put one hand on her hip and declared with absolute confidence.

She raised her hand, and the magic gathered at her slender fingertips was now powerful enough to kill the fantasy species.

At the same time, dozens of gems flew out from her dress.

They still have so many reserves!?

Rin Tohsaka's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Luvia's dress is adorned with countless jewels, any one of which could be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Now, the cluster of gems, worth millions, echoes its owner's aura, each emitting its own radiance and slowly drawing out a magical vortex.

"Next, please enjoy Edelfelt's Kaleidoscope."

The girl's murmur, punctuated by her smile, was also the name of the spell.

The dazzling, kaleidoscope-like magic was the secret to Edelfelt's confidence.

“Call”

With a call, the brilliance of the gemstones and Luvia's magic were compressed to their maximum at her fingertips.

"Lead me!"

Its radiance covers the world.

The brilliance emanating from Luvia and those gems was like a kaleidoscope.

The intense heat transformed into a beautiful reaper that shot out, piercing through the howling blizzard and landing on the ogre forest.

The scene can only be described as a saturation attack.

Even the descendants of the twenty-seventh ancestor were unable to put up any resistance at this moment, and were simply being ravaged unilaterally.

"…………call."

Luvia pressed her heaving, proud breasts against her chest, gazing with satisfaction at the desolate landscape before her.

Everything around her was blown away by her attack, and not even a trace of the Vampire Forest could be seen within a hundred meters.

"Well done."

Shirou placed his hand on Luvia's shoulder, and she gave him a beautiful and charming smile.

"You deserve some credit too? Hehe, our compatibility is truly amazing, Shirou?"

Yvette stroked her alluring magic eye, turning her gaze in the direction they had come from:

"After the brain was dealt with, the activity of the forest decreased significantly... so it no longer poses a threat."

The son of Fuhailin is, after all, a plant, not an animal, so the situation of being completely wiped out by beheading like humans will not occur.

Even if the main body dies, the remaining forest will continue to exist for a period of time, but it will be exhausted and will no longer have superior power. It will be a fragile existence similar to a ghoul.

The girls breathed a sigh of relief: "Phew...we're finally saved."

We're saved? Shirou frowned.

"What's wrong, Amamiya-san?" Rin Tohsaka asked.

Shirou calmly looked around and then spoke.

"Since Fu Hailin's son is already dead..."

Why is the blizzard still not stopping, but instead getting even bigger?

"This ability to create ice and snow must be one of its special powers, right?"

"!!!"

Hearing the boy say this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Could it be that this blizzard, powerful enough to engulf a city, has nothing to do with the son of Fuhailin...?

Just then, a muffled thud came from behind.

"well……?"

From the raging blizzard, a pale hand wreathed in flames reached out.

Rin Tohsaka tried to move her legs, but found herself seemingly frozen in place, unable to move—

This is not the work of magic, but the instinctive fear of humans as prey.

The pale fingers quickly reached for the girl's neck.

"————————!"

Just before touching the girl's skin, Shirou swung his "Blade of Chaos" and chopped the hand away.

"Are you alright, Tohsaka?"

"Thank you! You've been a huge help!"

Rin Tohsaka bit her lip, snapping out of her daze, and stood behind Shirou, ready to fire her cursed bullet.

Luvia and Yvette quickly followed, assuming fighting stances with barely daring to breathe.

"Ugh...it's so cold..."

From the increasingly howling blizzard, a young nobleman dressed like he stepped out of a movie appeared.

An elegant Western-style dress mixed with a barbaric fur cape, silver medium-length hair, and bloodshot, lifeless eyes.

Upon closer inspection, his right arm, which should have been severed by Shirou, was now completely unharmed.

Although it has the appearance of a male human, it is clearly not human.

"Dead Apostle...?"

Yvette's voice and legs trembled.

Her demonic eyes burned with excruciating pain, as if in a rejection reaction.

I finally understand that the young man in front of me is the real reason for this blizzard.

It was clear that this man was on a completely different level of danger compared to Fu Hailin's son.

Compared to him, the cannibalistic, demonic forest was utterly insignificant.

Hmm.

At the same time, Luvia also experienced what Rin Tohsaka felt when she was attacked.

Everything about oneself, including thoughts and body, is frozen.

She felt like she couldn't even move a single finger.

If only we could blame it all on the cold.

Even if you can deceive others, you can't ultimately deceive yourself.

Luvia Zelita Edelfelt.

The girl, who always maintained her grace and confidence, was now trembling so much that she could barely move because of the murderous aura emanating from the enemy.

"Gu...!"

Her humiliated cries were quickly drowned out by the storm.

"Are you a Dead Apostle of the Eighth Order?"

In the deathly silence, a bright, youthful voice rang out.

The voice was penetrating, as if it were speaking words that only he could utter, words that even the wind and snow sweeping the world could not stop.

...Shirou! ?

The girls looked over in surprise and found the red-haired boy standing there as if nothing had happened.

Rin Tohsaka broke out in a cold sweat: Amamiya-kun... can you remain calm even when facing such pressure?

"Hey, I'm asking you a question," Shirou urged impatiently.

"........."

The Dead Apostle, dressed in a Gothic aristocratic style, slowly spoke:

“My name is Vlov Arkhangel.

He is the nineteenth of the twenty-seven ancestors you humans speak of.

"!?!?"

The girls gasped, speechless with astonishment.

He is a dead disciple.

The highest rank among vampires: Dead Apostles.

He is the ancestor.

The highest-ranking member of the Dead Apostles, the Ancestor.

The girls gritted their teeth: This was the legendary King of the Dead Apostles, and he was so powerful—

"I thought it was the eighth level, but I didn't expect it to be the twenty-seventh ancestor of the ninth level."

The red-haired boy, Shirou Amamiya, scratched the back of his head, looking very embarrassed.

"Sorry, I made a mistake."

But you can't entirely blame me—because you look so weak.

Volume 6, Chapter 286: Morgan's Big Hand Is Still Exerting Its Force

Appeared!!

Rin Tohsaka and Luvia shouted in their hearts.

Shirou's signature skill: "Unconsciously sharp tongue"!

He calmly utters hurtful words to others, yet he is completely unaware and shows no remorse!

The two quickly looked at the disciple who claimed to be the twenty-seventh patriarch—

See? Just as I expected!

Even the aloof and handsome vampire showed an extremely distressed expression!

"Hahaha, Shirou-sama... This isn't the time for jokes like this..."

Yvette, sweating profusely, stared warily at the vampire who, no matter how you looked at him, was far more powerful than anyone else.

The girl had only known Shirou for a short time, so she didn't fully understand his personality.

"Joke? No, I'm serious."

Shirou gave him a strange look: "This guy is actually pretty weak, isn't he?"

Yvette's lips twitched: "…………"

I understand, please stop inciting the other side!

Shirou's intuition wasn't actually wrong.

The Dead Apostle who appeared in the Vampire Forest was named Flöf Arkhangel.

Just as he had stated his identity, he was the nineteenth patriarch of the twenty-seven patriarchs.

However, even within the Twenty-Seven Ancestors' inner circle and the Church of England, their enemy, little was known about his existence.

The reason is that he is too young.

Floff was originally a knight of the 19th Group, Zalia Offenbaum, and gained his current status and "principle" after killing his master.

Because the time he served as the ancestor was only a short two hundred years, many people did not even know that the original nineteenth ancestor had died. Currently, the name of Zalia Offenbaum is still retained as the nineteenth ancestor on the list of twenty-seven ancestors.

That's why Shirou assumed his opponent was weak.
