Comics: Starting from Killer Queen

"Now I can see clearly..."

It was not until this time that Roland began to look for changes in his body, the most obvious of which was his eyesight.

During his long student life, although Roland had not yet worn glasses, he could still maintain normal vision. But now, he could see clearly the trajectory of the dust particles that could only be illuminated in the afternoon sun. After concentrating a little, he even felt that the speed of the flying dust seemed to have slowed down.

"Excellent dynamic vision, and dark vision?"

He glanced at the surroundings gently. Even in the deep night, the corners that were not illuminated by the lights were clearly visible to Roland.

But compared with the changes in his body, the improvement in vision was nothing. Now when Roland clenched his fists, he could feel the power swelling and surging from within his body, ready to burst out.

Although he usually exercises, it is nothing compared to what he feels now. He can hear the sound of his heart pumping blood. As long as Roland turns his attention to other parts of his body, he can feel the toughness and explosive power of his muscles.

But his body shape didn't seem to have changed. While maintaining the human body structure, he possessed such strength that Roland even began to doubt whether the blood flowing in his veins was still blood.

"Give it a try."

With the support of his strong body, Roland's curiosity began to grow. He slightly tightened his legs, jumped lightly, and his palms easily touched the ceiling.

Compared with the past, the strength used was not even enough for a small jump. Roland could feel that if he wanted to, he could easily jump to the roof of an ordinary three- or four-story building without even a running start.

But Roland knew that this was not a bonus brought by the spirit contract ability, but rather an additional prize similar to that of a sublimated soul.

Even though his emotions changed several times, Roland could sense indifference from the deep scarlet eyes in the mirror.

Just like humans would not look insects in the face, people who are stared at by these eyes will only feel fear and uneasiness, as if they are being targeted by their natural enemy.

"Is it because the contrast between the body interfering with reality and the noble inner self is too great, creating a sense of alienation?"

Without any inference or evidence, the answer to the question naturally emerged in Roland's mind, as if he had known it before.

The strange sight in the mirror made Roland's mouth widen a little. Then, as his breathing became stronger, blazing flames unconsciously spewed out of his mouth. The gilded mirror surface suddenly turned into a pool of liquid in the midst of this scorching heat and fell to the ground, slowly seeping into deeper places after leaving behind charred marks.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally for the sudden burst of fire, Roland still subconsciously reached for his throat due to his past habits.

Although the flames were strong enough to melt metal and glass in an instant, Roland did not feel anything unusual in his throat. Instead, he felt happy and relaxed, as if he had taken a few deep breaths.

"Lord Roland? Are you okay?"

Matou Sakura jumped down from the sofa and looked at Roland, who was standing there in a daze, with some concern.

"From the looks of it, nothing should be wrong at the moment," Roland came back to his senses, looked at the broken mirror, and said to Sakura.

"Ying, I need a mirror. Please help me put the things in the cabinet in the utility room..."

Perhaps because he was a little anxious, Roland found that his voice did not seem to pass through the vocal cords, but vibrated and sounded directly in the air.

Like a throat that has been burned, the voice is hoarse, low, and has an alluring and mysterious feel.

Following his call, Sakura stopped where she was before she even started to move, and Roland swallowed the rest of the sentence.

——Because a full-length mirror had been picked up by two servants with blue-gray skin and wrapped in black ninja clothes and placed in front of Roland.

In the dark room, the moving shadows were like the tentacles of Roland's will, winding and flowing like snakes, surrounding him with Roland as the center.

One after another, dark ninjas appeared, holding various mirrors of various shapes and sizes in their hands, until Roland felt like he was in a mirror maze. The black shadow ninjas knelt on one knee, holding the mirrors high in their hands, with their heads lowered, like subjects bowing to their king.

Roland looked around slowly. In the layered mirrors, the demon with a dragon head and a human body faithfully reflected his current state, revealing a hideous and terrifying smile.

He gently stroked the Key of All Spirits in his hand and carefully checked the soul contract information of the Holy Lord.

——Spirit Contract【Soul of the Holy Lord】(Already contracted)

Representation: Your image in the mirror will reflect the appearance of your soul.

Effect: The influence of the Lord will sublimate your current soul, making you as noble as it. In addition, due to his inherent dignity, the Lord despises all creatures lower than him. When making promises, if the other party cannot make you feel respected, the Lord asks you not to keep these promises. During the contract, you will become arrogant and have a desire to dominate.

Empower:

Demon Soul: You have an eternal and immortal soul like the Lord, which can withstand travel between dimensions and possess and control creatures of lower status than you. You can be defeated but cannot be killed.

Demonic Energy of Fire: You are the noble Fire Dragon. Your flames devour everything but obey your one and only master. You can use your demonic energy to create followers and pollute others.

Worn A Thousand Wisdoms: This was once the wisdom that reached the top of the world, powerful enough to change the stars and distort the truth. However, in the dimension of hell where even the concept of time is corrupted, this wisdom was eventually worn away and not far from the beasts. But even so, mortals still cannot touch its vastness.

The Power of Trapped Shadows: This is one of the achievements of the peak of Thousand Wisdom. Using the spell, the Lord seized the authority of the Shadow Kingdom, thereby utilizing its power and trapping it next to his own soul. This authority is equivalent to that of General Nega.

Favored by the Dark Qi: You are favored by the dark side of the world. You will have a great destiny that affects the entire world process. You will always be able to achieve your wishes. No matter what state you are in, you will appear to be convincing. The more powerful the evil, the more trust they have in you. Whenever you encounter a crisis, the greater the crisis, the stronger the rebound of fate, and the richer the gift the world gives you.

Digestion Requirement: Resurrection

"This is the power of the Holy Lord's soul."

Even though he had seen it more than once, Roland still couldn't suppress his admiration.

Unlike Kira Yoshikage, the Soul of the Holy Lord does not need any extra explanation. Even though the price seems very high, the Soul of the Holy Lord does not live up to his rank. Even though he is just a soul, he has demonstrated his power in the most intuitive way.

Chapter 37: Choice of Holy Relics

Even though he is just a soul, there is no doubt that the Holy Lord is powerful.

As a villain with a strong presence from the beginning to the end, the level of power he possesses is the highest that Roland has ever encountered.

"What a pity! If it were a complete Saint Lord..."

As soon as this thought popped up in his mind, Roland quickly threw it out of his head. People who think they are invincible usually don't end up well.

Moreover, if it were a complete Holy Lord, the impact might be to rule the world or something, but it is not like now, where the cost and ability are almost one and the same.

"However, this digestion condition..."

Roland wondered.

This was his first encounter with a red-level, high-risk contracted spirit. Unlike Kira Yoshikage's digestion conditions, which were clear, the conditions for the Holy Lord's Soul were very ambiguous.

resurrection?

What does this mean? My soul has been sublimated into a demon soul, and my body is fine. How can I be resurrected? Should I learn from Jackie Chan and collect all the twelve talismans?

But when the Holy Lord became a contracted spirit, he was already a soul. Where did the talisman come from? Roland, who was puzzled, suddenly clapped his hands.

"Since you don't know, why not just ask the person himself?"

The worn wisdom of a thousand, among the abilities granted by the Holy Lord's soul, this is the one that Roland is most interested in. Most people are attracted by the Holy Lord's twelve spells, but ignore that the Holy Lord, as one of the eight demons that rule the world, has never been a simple reckless man, but a powerful demon wizard.

He knows the secrets of the Book of Time and can see through the spell that seals him and how to break it. He knows how to open the gates of hell and has written a collection of spells to use spells to harness the power of the Shadow Kingdom. In terms of both experience and knowledge, he is at the top.

Unfortunately, he was imprisoned in hell. After a long period of time, his wisdom was worn away and he could not remember even a fraction of his spells. He had to look for the spell collection he had written to recall the specific methods. In most cases, the Holy Lord behaved like a reckless man and could not even use his own talismans as well as the new generation Saint Seiya, Tama.

For Roland, this ability is not to directly infuse the Holy Lord's memory into Roland's mind, but to invisibly integrate the experience and vision of this wisdom into his subconscious mind.

When Roland encounters a problem that he cannot understand, this wisdom will give him the answer. When Roland encounters a technique that he does not understand, this wisdom will directly analyze the composition and implementation method of the technique to make him understand. From this point of view, he can now be said to be the nemesis of all magicians.

So, is there anyone who knows the meaning of the so-called resurrection better than the Holy Lord himself?

After pondering for a while, Roland got the answer.

——Having a body.

This is not as simple as it seems. Its true meaning is that the Holy Lord cannot tolerate having a body that matches the soul and housing the soul in a mortal body.

Even if he doesn't have the magical power of the talisman, at least he needs to have a natural dragon body like Daolong, which is compatible with his soul.

In fact, Roland also vaguely sensed this. The strange feeling in the mirror before was the best proof.

If his body and soul were not one and the same, he would probably be able to leave his body at will by now.

"This time, I really am not a human being anymore..."

Roland sighed. As for how to obtain a physical body, he already knew it even without the reminder of Thousand Wisdom.

One of the characteristics of Servants is that they can become spirits, which means they must rely on magicians to survive for a long time. However, if they gain a physical body, they can get rid of their dependence on returning after the Holy Grail War and stay in the world for a long time, which can be regarded as an alternative resurrection.

Of course, incarnation through the Holy Grail is only a basic method. If possible, Roland is somewhat coveting the third method that truly constitutes the Greater Holy Grail.

With this in mind, it is understandable that in the last Holy Grail War, even though the Holy Lord's soul was only left with instincts, it still caused large-scale fluctuations in the world line.

The most perfect body is created by materializing the soul and using it as a template.

"It seems that I have a reason to win this war."

Roland waved his hand and walked back to Matou Sakura.

"Sakura, start preparing for the summoning ritual."

Although he had no experience in this area, under the wise guidance of the Holy Lord, Roland easily completed the drawing of the summoning circle in the closed warehouse next to him.

Sakura Matou also stood nervously in a specific position, acting as a battery for magic power.

Next, there is the issue of catalyst.

Roland opened the box given by Matou Zouken, which contained an exquisite dagger with a round jade at the end of the hilt. It looked like it had the attributes of both a staff and a blade.

However, compared with its practical value, this dagger looks more like a commemorative artifact.

"Mercury Sword?"

Roland called out the name in surprise. Among the many magic gifts, it was hard for him to forget this magical gift, also known as the sword that stabbed whoever gave it.

Could it be that Matou Zouken was trying to hint at something by giving him this thing?

Touching his chin, Roland quickly denied this answer. Tōsaka Tokiomi was not dead yet, so this would not happen. Moreover, considering Matou Zouken's identity, this thing could really be a holy relic.

In fact, it was made by that heroic spirit himself.

Founder of modern alchemy, von Hohenheim Paracelsus.

Judging from his ability, this guy really didn't brag. As a caster, this great alchemist who created the Philosopher's Stone is indeed first-rate.

However, his character is a bit subtle, especially considering that the Holy Grail does have the possibility of connecting to the Root.

"But I can't give the opportunity to make a wish to others."

Roland's smile gradually faded. Although he still had another holy relic in his hand, since Saber had already been summoned, the most likely person Avalon would summon was the Flower Magician.

In a sense, not even as good as Paracelsus.

Roland didn't care about the strength of the summoned Heroic Spirit - anyway, with his current strength, it would be difficult for a Heroic Spirit to defeat him.

Perhaps it was the Saint's desire to rule, or perhaps it was Roland's own character, but whether the Heroic Spirit was trustworthy was very important to Roland.

Therefore, random affinity summoning was not something Roland considered from the beginning.

"What a hassle! Is there any way to quickly find a relic that meets my requirements?"

Seeing that the summoning circle was already drawn, Roland felt like something was missing if he didn't start summoning. Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

Although this request is willful and arbitrary, and the conditions are vague after all, the Black Shadow Legion seems to be able to do it.

In the original novel, when Xiaoyu was acting as the queen of the Black Shadow Corps, she once capriciously made an unreasonable request to find someone who could understand the complete collection of spells, but the Black Shadow Corps still faithfully carried out this order.

Roland followed suit and snapped his fingers, issuing orders to the two black shadow ninjas that emerged from the shadows.

"Find a suitable relic!"

Without even a hint of doubt, the two ninjas disappeared into the shadows before quickly emerging as if they had never left at all.

But the difference from before was that in their hands, they were holding a fluffy, beautiful sheepskin that shone with golden light like the sun, even in the darkness.

As usual, I'm asking for votes! Thanks to Sasaki Shihara for his 600-point reward! Thanks to Chuanghaoduanjiujianshuduo for his 301-point reward! Thanks to Pink Plush Rabbit for his 200-point reward! Thanks to Pickled Fish Noodles, ALX, A Piece of Cake 2004, Qicuicuicuicui, and Peerless Moyu Daxia for their rewards!

Chapter 38 Roland's Caster

"The Golden Fleece?"

Taking this special catalyst from the hands of the Shadow Army, Roland began to ponder as he felt its gorgeous appearance that seemed to heal his soul.

When on different masters, the Shadow Legion will also make different projections and the expressiveness will vary greatly, but there is no doubt that these loyal servants will follow the master's heart and do everything that needs to be done regardless of good or evil.

Among the Heroic Spirits that Roland knew and could summon stably, Medea was indeed the best choice.

As a magician of the Age of Gods, her unrivaled strength and understanding of magic make her the best teacher in this area, and her personality is also very much in line with Roland's preferences.

Although he has a bad reputation outside, if you put aside those prejudices, he is actually very easy to control.

Just choose her, Roland made up his mind, stretched out his arm, restrained his unnecessary thoughts and emotions, and focused on the spell in front of him.

Although he had the wisdom of the Holy Lord so that he was not completely ignorant of this, but in Type-Moon, this link was too easy to go wrong, and he had to be cautious.

Sure enough, as soon as he recited the spell, Roland felt something awakened inside him.

A strange feeling surged from all parts of his body, like an inexhaustible breath or a flowing river. Roland's shoulders trembled slightly as he felt such a full sense of power.

Matou Sakura, who was standing in a specific position, looked at the activated summoning circle and looked at Roland with confusion, without showing any changes caused by the extraction of magic power.
