My mother's love song

Ah, that's right. You are absolutely right!"

The girl said with humiliation on her face: "Because that's how I was designed!"

"Really? That's a sad life."

By design?

Rhode thought of Altria's family and thought to himself: Hmm? Is she a clone created by my enemy?

No, that's not right... How could a cloned android possibly use my Noble Phantasm?

"Fake, there's no need for you to hide your real name. No, since your purpose is to blaspheme and insult me, wouldn't it be better to tell me your real name to get closer to your wish?"

Rhode said coldly: "Just tell me your real name, and I will kill you myself after that."

"Ok."

When the girl heard his words, she sneered and slowly opened her lips.

"My name is Aleister Crowley."

"It was created by a faker named Aleister Crowley. It is a more advanced faker."

When Rhodes heard her words, he didn't immediately think of anything, but in the next moment, the fragments of memory in his mind made his expression stiff.

Zazas, Zazas, Nasatanada Zazas…

"We are the Lord of all forms, and from Me all forms have arisen."

"We are all, we are one."

"We are the kings of the triangle that stand above the canopy of overflowing wisdom and guard the path to the throne of God."

"and many more."

Rhode opened his mouth wide: "How is this possible..."

"We are the masters of the tomb of spirits who were abandoned by the Creator at the bottom of the abyss and forever wander among the gaps between fairies."

The girl calmly revealed her real name.

"You, the foolish man who created us, once called us that...

The half of the Beast of the Apocalypse, Coronzon [Beast 333].

Chapter 517 Abandoning a pet, God will strike you down

In the hilly area near London, which is shrouded in thick fog.

There are many strangely shaped rocks here.

Some are spheres, some are triangular cones, and some are rocks with star-shaped protrusions that are stacked in three dimensions and maintain an extremely precarious balance.

These rocks look more like clay kneaded by the giant's children than by the work of an artist.

Moreover, the balance inside is very strange, and there are even combinations that clearly violate gravity.

The upper part bulges like a tumor, and there are stone towers that are severely tilted, but they are impossible to collapse. These are all strange things that shake people's sense of balance.

This kind of scenery was probably created by the magic power of the deceased Crown Dragon.

In the surrealist painting called Tomb of Albion, the three magicians of the Clock Tower walked side by side into the depths.

"Faker...?"

Kenneth frowned, puzzled by the word proposed by Aozaki Touko.

"Yes, this is my name for the Servant class that appeared in London, Faker."

Aozaki Touko lit up a cigarette and said, "The Heroic Spirit who signed a contract with the Minister of Modern Magic Science, Hatteras, is Faker, Aleister Crowley of the Faker class."

"..."

Both Kenneth and Atram reacted to the name.

If, as Orange said, the legendary Grand Summoner is behind this series of disturbances, then everything so far can be explained.

A large number of demons attacked the Clock Tower from nowhere...

If it was the black magician who restored King Solomon's Demon Summoning Method [Ars Geatia], it would be easy for him to control even a real demon.

Then, the great magician who has lived in London for decades set up a huge barrier covering the entire city. Although it sounds incredible, it is not impossible.

What is his purpose in doing this?

Legend has it that Aleister Crowley was once designated to be sealed. Was it to seek revenge on the Clock Tower?

If this is the reason, it would seem too petty.

Kenneth said solemnly, "That guy... How on earth did Dr. Hatteras summon the Heroic Spirit in London? Obviously, the Fuyuki Holy Grail has been destroyed."

After he returned to the Clock Tower alive from Fuyuki, the power of the Heroic Spirits and the true value of the Holy Grail War Ritual were naturally known to the Magic Association.

I'm afraid Rhode knew that this would happen, so he completely destroyed the Holy Grail in Fuyuki Maruzoyama, ending the history of the Holy Grail War.

Its purpose is to prevent anyone from coveting the Holy Grail.

Although the Magic Association has tried to copy the Holy Grail or summon heroic spirits over the years, they have not been successful.

Matou of the Fuyuki clan was eliminated, while Einzbern and Toosaka became Rod's vassal forces and were protected by him.

The reappearance of the Holy Grail is theoretically absolutely impossible.

If someone could create the Holy Grail from scratch, the Association would surely gladly grant him the title of Grand Master.

In response to Lord El-Melloi's question, the Grand Puppet Master smiled slyly and said, "Indeed, if you want to summon a Servant from the Throne of Heroes, it would be impossible without the Greater Holy Grail.

But, what if that Servant did not come from the Throne of Heroes, but has been lurking underground in London since ancient times?

In that case, there would be no need to go through the trouble of establishing spiritual veins and opening summoning channels, but only to establish a contract with it."

"Huh? Aleister Crowley wasn't summoned from the Throne of Heroes? Well, Miss Aozaki... Although Aleister was indeed an active figure in London, he died half a century ago."

"Compared to this..."

There was something more concerning at the moment. Atram asked curiously, "Isn't Aleister Crowley Caster, but the Faker class you mentioned?"

Aozaki Touko nodded and said, “That’s right.

Because this summoning itself is informal, even if a ritual similar to the function of the Holy Grail is created, it is ultimately impossible to summon Heroic Spirits within the same framework.

The class framework used in the real Holy Grail War is fixed, so Hatteras had to add [Extra] to create new classes. "

Orange's high heels tapped quickly on the cold ground, but her voice was neither slow nor fast.

"The Holy Grail is a fake, and so are the Command Seals.

Normally, such ridiculous techniques would not be effective.

However, what if the thing being summoned is itself a counterfeit?

What if the class itself is a symbol of being a counterfeit?

Yes, in short, it’s like a word game or a trick.

However, magic was born out of word games and deception.”

Many techniques in magic are derived from deception.

Since everything is fake, all we need to do is write magic that takes advantage of the fakeness itself.

Kenneth quickly understood what Orange meant.

【Faker】Aleister Crowley is not the real Aleister Crowley, but someone disguised as a Grand Magician.

He asked, "So... who exactly did Dean Hatteras summon?"

Although Orange had an expression on his face that showed he knew the whole story, he did not directly answer the question.

"Oh, I just forgot to mention one thing.

Not only are the Holy Grail, the Command Seals, and the Servants fake, but even the Master is fake."

"...?"

Kenneth and Atram showed an incredulous expression. Is Dean Hatres a fake?

"According to the results of my investigations over the years, the real Minister of Modern Magic Science, Hatreth, died ten years ago."

Orange shrugged and spoke calmly.

"He was betrayed and killed by his own students."

Atram shouted, "How is it possible!? Orange, what you said is impossible. If the dean of a major subject in London died, it would be discovered immediately."

"Yes. There are spies from the Clock Tower everywhere in London. Assassination might be possible, but traces of the magic war will always be left somewhere. It would be difficult to murder the dean without anyone noticing."

"You just understand."

"But there is a place where murder can be committed without anyone noticing."

Kenneth's eyes widened, and Orange pointed to the land of Albion, the tomb of the spirits, beneath his feet.

"About ten years ago, Dr. Hatteras entered the Tomb of the Spirits at the invitation of his disciples who had become special explorers of Albion.

But what he didn't know was that his disciples had actually been undercover agents planted in the Spirit Tomb by other factions.

Although Dr. Hatteras is a pure scholar, he cannot avoid being involved in factional struggles as long as he lives in the Clock Tower.

This time, the disciples who were undercover beside him received instructions from nobles from other factions to take his life.

Dr. Hatteras is an excellent magician, but his expertise lies in academics. In contrast, his disciples are practical fighters trained in fighting monsters in the spirit tomb of Albion.

You should be able to prepare at least some means to kill the magician working in the research institute."

"..."

If the beautiful woman in front of them was not a top puppeteer, Kenneth and Atram would have accused her of talking nonsense.

But in the face of Aozaki Touko's authority, they could only listen silently.

“Then when they were plotting to kill Hatteras, one of his favorite disciples probably objected.

In that case, we can just leave the disciple alone, but when it comes to finding cracks in the spirit tomb, the magician named Clo is indispensable.

So just move to Albion and kill both Hatres and Clo at the end.

This is indeed the case. Dr. Hatteras was eventually killed by his disciples, and Clo was left in the spirit tomb. "

"Wasn't the magician named Kro killed?" Atram asked.

“No… Could it be that?” Kenneth broke out in a cold sweat.

"That's it."

Orange exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly, "Kro escaped from the spirit tomb, returned to the ground and disguised himself as Dr. Hatreth."

"So, he caused this incident in order to take revenge on the Clock Tower..."

The reasoning was so far-fetched that the two people traveling with him fell silent.

"..."

After walking quietly for a distance, Aozaki Touko spoke again.

She pointed to a group of stone pillars not far away: "That's it."

"There?"

"The main part of the Albion Tomb, the deepest part of the labyrinth is probably the stage for the final battle of this commotion."

Aozaki Orange put out the cigarette in her hand and said calmly: "As for the man named Clo, I don't know what he experienced in the tomb, but there is one thing I can assert.

He was betrayed by his companions in the past and left in the abyss. The heroic spirit he summoned

Similarly, he is a person who was betrayed by someone in the past and was left alone in the abyss."

……

……

……

"Listen! I am a native of the abyss!"

The girl with a black ponytail announced loudly and excitedly.
