Man is infinite, and his ambition is to slay the dragon

At the same time, not far away, the entire right arm of the armored girl was torn off silently.

(what happened?)

Sieg had this legitimate question. He was definitely not distracted just now and his attention was extremely focused. However, he did not realize at all when he was attacked!

"You guys have gone too far."

Just then, a quiet female voice sounded nearby.

She was a girl who gave a plain impression, wearing ordinary glasses and holding a book under her arm - she was wearing the girls' uniform of Saikai Academy.

Pushing her glasses, the girl said coldly, "Stop it now, No. 5 [Yebo Yanguang]. If you continue, I will use my authority as the decision maker to immediately disqualify you from attending the banquet."

"And you... Ziegfeld - it seems that I no longer need to lecture you."

"?"

Sieg frowned, but before he could ask anything, a voice that made his body tremble came into his ears from behind.

"Explain to me what you are doing, Sieg."

"...I said I was the victim and I am just exercising self-defense. Do you believe me? Teacher Nangong."

After letting his left hand complete its regeneration, Sieg smiled and looked at the loli teacher wearing black Gothic clothes behind him.

Nangong Nayue just looked at him coldly: "Come with me to my office, let me listen to your excuses."

"I'm not making excuses, I'm just being honest."

"Follow me first."

"...Okay, but let me pick up someone first. That person is also a witness."

What Sieg was talking about was naturally Vertiana, whom he had sent away.

(Is this a premonition coming true?)

At this moment, feeling a strange feeling rising in his heart, Sieg gently touched his chest.

(The [events] that my future self has experienced, if you trace them back to this time, did they all start from now?)

(…It seems that the leisurely campus life has come to an end.)

21. Weapons of the future?

On the top floor of the teaching building of Caihai College, in Nangong Nayue's office, one floor higher than the chairman's office.

Although he was somewhat reluctant, Sieg was no longer the same person he was a few years ago, and his temper had calmed down a bit, so he just sat on the sofa with a little dissatisfaction.

And beside him——

"You actually brought me directly to the [Witch of the Gap]... Sister Stella, who are you recommending to help me?"

Vertiana, who had just been sent away by Sieg, was now sitting upright with a look of strong dissatisfaction towards Sieg on her face.

Opposite the two of them, Nangong Nayue looked at the metal suitcase placed on the coffee table. After opening it, she only took a glance and revealed a look of disgust: "Ah... It's almost the same as I thought. Yes, since it involves the already extinct Karlyana family and attracted No. 5 to hunt them down, it can only be for something related to the ritual."

Because the box was completely open, Sieg was able to see what was inside.

It was a metal rod wrapped in rough cloth, about three to four centimeters in diameter and less than fifty centimeters long. One end was pointed and protruding, reminiscent of a small wooden stake. There were fine magic runes engraved on the shiny silver surface.

(This thing, I remember it was...)

Something seemed to be touched in my mind.

After carefully distinguishing the memories that emerged in his mind, Sieg whispered softly: "...Is it the [Holy Lance]?"

"Oh?"

The whisper did not go unnoticed.

Nangong Nayue and Weilertiana looked at him.

"Do you recognize this thing?"

"To be precise... it was [my future self] who recognized it. Actually, this is the first time I've seen it, but the moment I saw it, the relevant memories came to mind." Sieg said, "That should be the [Demon-Breaking Holy Lance], of which there are only three in the world? A long time ago, it was created by those super ancient humans called the Celestials, and it's a weapon that can [kill the True Ancestor]."

——【Heaven Department】

This word was something that Sieg just remembered now.

It seemed to be a super ancient race that once lived on this planet. They had a technological level far beyond that of today and had developed a large number of super ancient heritages.

This silver metal stake is one of them. It is a [Demon-Breaking Holy Spear] of which there are only three in the world. It can make all magic power ineffective and break any form of barrier. It can almost be called a lethal weapon specifically for vampires.

But Sieg knew that this description was not accurate. Its real effect was to restore the world that had been completely changed by magic, spells, etc. to its original state. It was a treasure that reset everything to zero.

(Is this the weapon I use in the future?)

Although the shape is completely different, the moment Sieg saw it, he remembered that the weapon he would use in the future - about a hundred years later - in battle was closely related to the metal stake in front of him.

"You in the future?"

Nangong Nayue glanced at Zigg meaningfully: "I won't ask about the authenticity, but you are right, this is indeed the Holy Demon-Breaking Spear, the legacy of the Heavenly Department. And to be able to bring such a thing to the String God Island... Little girl from the Karlyana family, it seems that you have taken some illegal means."

"Well----!"

Weiertiana's face turned pale instantly!

Regarding the passage of magic tools on this planet, the rules are very strict, especially in the demon special zone like Gengami Island. All magic tools need to be carefully guarded. If they are dangerous magic tools, it is impossible for them to pass the entry inspection of Gengami Island.

As for things like the heritage of the Celestial Being, there's no need to even think about it. The possibility of reaching the island through normal means is completely zero!

Therefore, Viltiana did use some dishonorable means to bring in this holy spear.

Of course she was prepared to be discovered, but she never thought of being discovered in front of Nangong Nayue!

(I just happened to be captured by the [Witch of the Gap]... the Demon Slayer known in Europe as the [Demon Slayer]—Ahhhhh! Sister Stella! Who did you recommend to me?)

Thinking of this, Weiliana looked at Sieg with even more dissatisfaction!

Looking at her who was staring at him in confusion, Sieg was also a little confused, but this confusion did not make him particularly concerned. He was concerned about another thing: "Why did you bring this thing to the island? Besides, you said that Stella asked you to come to me...Does she know something?"

"Oh? You didn't know?"

Nangong Nayue smiled slyly: "She clearly has the memory of the future, but I don't know what she wants to do?"

"Knowing part of the future doesn't mean I know everything, right? But from what you just said, could it be... related to the [Feast of Flame]?"

——【Flame Feast】

After hearing what Zieger said, their expressions suddenly darkened.

"...I thought if you didn't know then I wouldn't tell you, but you do know?"

"After all, you just mentioned [Number 5], and that's exactly what the woman with glasses said earlier. Although it's not a keyword that can directly trigger memory, it's still possible to figure it out by association. By the way, where does that woman live?"

"What do you ask for this?"

"Settling accounts."

Sieg raised his intact left hand and said, "Although it's not even a superficial wound, it still cut off one of my hands. I have to chop it back."

"...Forget about it. Going against that woman will only make you suffer." Nangong Nayue sighed, "You were going to fight her at that time, and now you are dead."

"Don't worry, she's the one who died. At most, I lost a heart or a head." Sieg said lightly, "It's okay if you don't tell me. I'll find it myself later. Then, you can tell me about the Flame Feast, right? Although I have memories of the future, those memories are rather vague. It seems that the future me didn't experience it myself, but heard it from others."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Nangong Nayue held his forehead and said, "Logically, I shouldn't say it, but if you keep using future memories as an excuse, even if I don't say it, you will remember it at some point, right?"

"Almost, so you would say?"

"Remember not to spread it."

Nangong Nayue said seriously.

"The Feast of Flame - in essence, it is a large-scale ceremony to revive the sealed Fourth Progenitor and restore his full power."

22. Flame Feast

Vampires are the strongest demons on the planet, but there are differences in strength among vampires.

Generally speaking, the older the vampire, the more powerful it is. Among vampires, the oldest vampire is called the "True Ancestor". It is said that they are the first vampires that appeared on the planet and the ancestors of all vampires.

——Eastern Europe's [Forgotten War King]

——Xia's [Eyes of Extinction]

——【Chaos Princess】from Central America

These three True Ancestors are undoubtedly the pinnacle of this planet, the most powerful triangle ruling over all humans and demons.

However, there has always been a rumor around the world - there are not just three True Ancestors, but four, and the fourth True Ancestor is superior to the other three True Ancestors, and is truly the "strongest in the world."

The fourth true ancestor is immortal and indestructible, has no blood brothers, does not seek to rule, and leads twelve beasts that are the embodiment of disaster. He only cares about drinking human blood, killing, and destroying. He is a cold-blooded vampire, beyond the laws of the world, and a monster that has destroyed many cities in the past.

I don’t know if it’s accidental or coincidental, but this rumor has spread all over the world.

It is a fact that the Fourth True Ancestor does exist, but unlike the three True Ancestors who are the origins of blood, the Fourth True Ancestor is not the oldest vampire, but an [artificial True Ancestor] created by them after the three True Ancestors were born.

It is the [strongest weapon to kill gods] that exists to defeat the gods in heaven.

The so-called [Festival of Flame] is a ceremony to awaken the sealed and sleeping Fourth True Ancestor and restore his power.

“——That’s basically it.”

Nangong Nayue said.

"I'm not very clear about the details, but now that I've talked about it to this point, you should be able to remember it, right?"

"Well... more or less."

Sieg nodded slightly.

The general situation of the Flame Banquet was the same as what Nangong Nayue had said, but in Zig's memory, there were some details that she had not mentioned.

For example, the impact of the Flame Banquet, and the conditions for participating in the Flame Banquet, etc.

"Hmm? So... you would bring this thing to Genkami Island? Do you want to participate in the Flame Feast?" Sieg asked Weldiana, "But didn't the Karlyana family perish?"

"The Karlyana family is not destroyed!"

Weildiana refuted sharply: "One day I will revive it! Now it is just a stage of accumulating strength and reorganizing! Sooner or later, the Karlyana family will once again become one of the most prominent nobles in the War King Realm!"

Vertiana's last name - [Kalyana] - was once the last name of a noble in the [War King's Domain], the territory of the Forgotten War King, the first true ancestor. It is also one of the famous families with a long history among vampires.

But this family is now in name only.

More than a decade ago, the territory of Karjana was invaded by the Hun tribe alliance. The lord died in the war, and the entire territory became the property of the Huns - low-level vampires who could not control their companions.

The girl sitting next to Sieg now is the last bloodline of the Karljana family and the only vampire who still retains the surname Karljana.

“But that’s for the future, right?”

Sieg asked back, "As far as I know, one of the conditions for participating in the Flame Feast is to own and govern a territory of a certain size and be able to command a sufficient number of people. Is this a condition that you cannot meet now?"

The participants of the Flame Feast are called the Chosen Emperors, the executors of the magical ritual to awaken the Fourth True Ancestor.

To achieve this, land, financial resources, people...all need to be met.

Weiliana is not satisfied with any of the points. Having lost her status, family, and wealth, the only valuable thing she has now is the [Holy Spear of Demon-Breaking], right?

And this thing will definitely not belong to her anymore.

"......"

The young vampire fell silent.

Seeing her head about to sink to her chest, Qi Ge suddenly looked at Nangong Nayue: "Teacher Nangong, let me ask, what will happen to her after this?"

"She will definitely have to be kept under guard for a while. Although she is a former noble who has lost her family and territory, she is still a noble vampire. After negotiating with the War King Territory, she should be able to become a registered demon and live here - of course, there is also the possibility of expulsion."

Nangong Nayue said.
