My mother's love song

On the middle finger of her left hand was a golden ring.

In the palm of his right hand he held a tin cane.

Rhode, who had grown from a 13-year-old boy to a 20-year-old young man in an instant, continued speaking under Goetia's trembling gaze:

"Through the act of consuming the power of resurrection just now, the spiritual essence of my mother [Beast VI] in my body has temporarily disappeared.

It is because of this that I was able to return to this state, Goetia... that I was able to meet you once again.

It was sad that I didn't realize my real name until the end.

But it's okay, I'm in a good mood now. The narrow perspective of being a human and the mediocrity gained from losing the spirit of an animal make me feel relaxed and happy.

For you, I will be especially patient and reintroduce myself."

Rhodes spoke calmly, picking out the long-lost real name.

"My wisdom is the inheritance of the Magic King; I am the compiler of the Demon God Catalog [Goetia], the repairer of the lost 72 pillars of demons."

"My essence is the call of the abyss; the door to the end of the void, the facet of the One who gives birth to all things and to whom all things belong."

"My miracle is the record of the five great magics; the beginning of the Star Age, the Book of Laws [Liber AL vel Legis]."

"My origin is the wave that announced the end of the world; carrying the number 666, the reincarnation of the disaster that is coming from the other side [Master Therion]."

That is,

In the more than 100 years since its birth, it has become a taboo name that has been engraved into history along with the legend.

“My name is Aleister [The Mysterious King] Aleister Crowley.

Grand Summoner. Demon. The Founder of Thelema. Silver Star. Son of Babalon. The worst man in human history...

There are many other grandiose titles like this, but for now, let me call myself this."

Rod tapped his cane.

"He's just a modern-day magician called the Beast of Apocalypse, a Grand Caster."

Note: Sut-Typhon was originally a name given by Crowley to the Holy Guardian Angel [Evans].

Crowley's disciple, Kenneth Grant, believed that "Stortiphon" and "Yog-Sothoth" were the same entity.

Type-Moon adopted this setting, replacing Yog-Sothoth with Stothiphon as the only designated god name for Bubble.

Chapter 332: The End of the Beast of Apocalypse [Death]

1875, the outskirts of Fuyuki, Einzbern City.

"Ah. I'm tired of playing with Einzbern's androids. No matter how cute they are, they're boring if they can't flatter men."

The boy scratched his hair, then pushed the silver-haired woman lying on the bed away, walked through the door and came to the corridor.

"Edelfelt!"

The sound echoed in the huge castle.

"In the!"

After the young man finished speaking, two beautiful women who looked almost identical walked out from the next room.

The blond hair curled into Roman curls and the fair and tender skin reveal their former noble status, and the plump bodies wearing only underwear are full of femininity.

The women who looked like sisters showed fear in front of the boy, but their pretty faces were forced with flattering smiles.

“…What do you want to talk to us about, Master Rider?”

"Don't be so scared of me. I won't eat you. What do I want from you? Oh, come to my room and serve me.

The Einzbern dolls really can't compare to the beautiful sisters of Edelfeld, hehe."

Without waiting for a reply, the boy grabbed the wrists of the two women and pulled them into the dormitory while they gasped.

The twin sisters who were the eldest daughters of the famous Finnish family Edelfeldt until a few days ago have now become slaves in the magic cave Einzbern City.

This kind of thing is of course irrational, and it would never happen even in the world of magic.

But if it is a war, it is a different matter.

Since the beginning of this century, a magic ceremony called the "Holy Grail War" has been held in the Far Eastern Island Country.

The Second Holy Grail War took place in 1875, 120 years before the Fourth Holy Grail War.

In view of the failure of the first ritual, Machiril Zorgen added his invention, the "Command Spell System", to the Holy Grail War, allowing Masters to command Servants.

Then the Holy Grail War began to take shape.

The Edelfeldt sisters who appeared here now were participating in the battle for the Holy Grail as foreign magicians.

The Edelfeldts are a family of gem magicians who built their home in Finland.

Known as the "Scales for Measuring Ore", her family's magic trait is "Sisters".

Magicians would normally avoid having multiple heirs in their family line, but they did the opposite and each generation had two heirs, which is how they got the name "Libra".

A nouveau riche during the Renaissance, he loved to intervene in world disputes and take away magic treasures, hence the nickname "the most graceful hyena in the world".

Of course, from the perspective of the Edelfeldt family, the problem lies in the people who are unable to protect the secret to the end, and they are the ones who can manage and utilize it correctly, and they have such arrogance.

So they had set their sights on Fuyuki's Holy Grail early on.

of course.

Since you are participating in a war where your life is at stake, you should be prepared to face defeat.

"You are still alive after losing your Servant, thanks to my pleading with the Master. You must repay me with your body, okay? The Master insisted that I kill you in the beginning."

The young man said happily as he threw the beautiful sisters onto the bed.

“I understand. Thank you. Our master… Lord Rider.”

The girls from Edelfeldt nodded in agreement.

Now, these two women with disheveled hair, who were extremely fawning on the younger boy, would never have thought of their current fate when they set foot on this land with great pride a week ago.

As daughters of famous demon families and the next leaders, they would never succumb to the fear of death.

Generally speaking, even if their lives are threatened, they will not surrender to the enemy.

But what about the fear that is greater than death?

On the first night of the Holy Grail War, the twin sisters of Edelfeldt witnessed horrors that mere humans could never comprehend.

Just being stared at by the other person.

It is neither the magic eye nor the evil eye.

However, the gap in existence destroyed their souls.

Nails, bones, skin, muscles, lungs, stomach, heart, spinal cord, blood vessels, and brain all seemed to be crushed at once.

Breathing stops and blood flow stops.

Every cell has stopped functioning as if petrified.

The history of the people once known as Edelfeld is fading, they can feel it.

This beast is so huge that not even a remnant of itself should be left.

Crush. Shred. Dissolve.

The beast who calls himself Rider is about to melt even if he just stares at me.

By the time they came to their senses, the Servant the two sisters were using had been knocked down.

Edelfeldt's first battle in Fuyuki ended in silence.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I told you I won't eat you. I haven't eaten anyone for nearly two hundred years, although I have eaten Magic Marks."

The young man tilted his head to observe the pale-faced beautiful sisters and touched their hair as if to comfort them.

"Alright, big sis. Relax and separate yourself."

“…Rider.”

At this moment, a low voice came from the side of the door.

"Oh, my Master is back. Big sisters, I'll come play with you later~"

The boy grabbed a red blanket and wrapped himself in it, then jumped off the bed briskly, waving at the girl's door and pushing it open.

Standing outside the door was a middle-aged Japanese man wearing an exquisite kimono.

He looked to be in his early forties, with a mixture of black and white hair combed neatly.

He is the Master of this young boy Rider in this Holy Grail War.

"Thank you for your hard work running errands. Did you bring back the Japanese sweets I ordered?"

"it's here."

The boy took the bag of high-end snacks from the middle-aged man and followed him to the living room while eating.

"How is it, did you gain anything from the investigation?"

As usual, with an unpredictable poker face, Rider's Master said.

"The location of the Holy Grail's descent has been determined. It's the Tousaka family."

"Tosa...ka...Oh, Tousaka! Hmm, it seems like there is such a name. Okay, shall we go?

I have already killed Einzbern and Edelfeldt, and the remaining four families will be eliminated tonight, and then we will go to the Tosaka family to get the Holy Grail. "

The magician shook his head at the boy's positive suggestion.

"Because of your extraordinary behavior during the invasion of Einzbern City, the remaining four families have decided to form an alliance to deal with us together."

The man said as he looked out the window of the castle.

The Fuyuki forest area, which once served as a natural barrier, has now been razed to the ground.

The barren land stretching for kilometers was caused by just one blow from the young boy.

With such a terrifying power, he would find it strange if the remaining four families did not form an alliance.

"So what if we're allies? I'll wipe them all out in a minute. Master, just stay home and drink your barley tea while you wait for me to have a good rest."

Hearing the boy say this, the magician pressed his temple in distress.

The man was very self-aware that his Servant was a cheating Heroic Spirit who was beyond his knowledge and rules.

In conclusion, the boy is the Last Boss himself.

The Servant who appeared in this Holy Grail War is Rider.

His existence can be said to be the greatest irony of the Holy Grail War, an existence that is even beyond the reach of words like the third magic.

His existence is just a heroic spirit in name only, but he cannot be considered a hero at all. Even gods and evil gods cannot describe him as such.

The so-called Servants are selected from all eras on this earth, past, future, and beyond.

On the thrones where the Heroic Spirits awaiting summons rest, there is no concept of time.

It can summon legendary heroes from the past, and it can also summon the souls of heroes who have not yet been born.

If there had been a Holy Grail War during the time of King Arthur, it is possible that King Arthur summoned his future self who had acquired the power of a heroic idol.

However, if we say this in this sense

Young people have existed since ancient times, and I'm afraid they will still exist in the distant future.

Not as a single individual, but as a concept of "end" and "disaster" that is imprinted into human nature and will exist forever.

Foreigner·The Beast of Apocalypse.

A meteorite that came from the other side of the sea of ​​stars and fell on the primordial earth. The primordial fire.

Named the terrifying beast by the gods and spirits of the ancient times. The first visitor to the planet.

The reason why legends about monsters, mythical beasts, and giant dragons remain in the Age of Gods all over the world is probably because people cannot forget his majesty.

If a major disaster that threatens the planet and primates occurs in the future, such an existence would naturally be named after him [Beast].

Even when it landed on Earth, 57% of its functions were damaged.
