Chapter 30

"Classic blackening is ten times stronger."

Amidst people's happy complaints, the picture gradually dimmed.

As usual, Rider's ability panel surfaced.

[Medusa]

[Race: God]

[Height/Weight: 172cm·57kg]

[Origin: Mythology]

[Region: Ancient Greece]

[Attribute: Chaotic/Good]

["Bravery is not something to be proud of, sometimes it's better to be clear-headed."]

[Strength: B]

[Endurance: C]

[Agility: A]

[Magic: A]

[Luck: E]

[Class Skill—Magic Resistance: B]

[Can invalidate magic below three-line incantations, even great magic and ritual spells are difficult to cause her harm.]

[Riding: A+]

[Incredible riding ability, can easily control various divine beasts and phantasmal beasts, even supersonic fighter jets can be driven skillfully, only dragon species cannot be controlled.]

(Due to the overly strong riding ability, using the Noble Phantasm "Bellerophon" will cause the mount Pegasus to temporarily increase all ability values significantly).

[Inherent Skill—Mystic Eyes: A]

[—Highest level petrification Mystic Eyes.]

[Depending on the degree of magic resistance of the enemy being seen, different debuff bonuses will be obtained.]

(Magic resistance below C-rank will be petrified unconditionally).

(Magic resistance B-rank has a certain degree of resistance).

(Magic resistance A-rank is very likely not to be petrified, but physical functions will decrease significantly).

[Independent Action: C]

[Even if the master's magic supply is interrupted, there is a temporary ability to act independently.]

[Monstrous Strength: B]

[Can increase strength in a short time, can melee with powerful Three Knights servants.]

[Noble Phantasm—Breaker Gorgon]

[Rank: C]

[Type: Anti-Person Noble Phantasm]

[Attack Distance: ?]

[Maximum Capture: 1 person]

[Seals the opponent's will into Rider's heart and dominates it.]

(Mainly a Noble Phantasm used to seal the Mystic Eyes, the effect is not strong).

[Blood Fort Andromeda]

[Rank: B]

[Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm]

[Attack Distance: 10~40]

[Maximum Capture: 500 people]

[A barrier technique that only works if prepared in advance, can slightly drain the physical strength of humans in the area.]

[But after it is officially activated, the humans in the barrier will be dissolved rapidly.]

(This is Medusa who gains magic power by sucking blood, a barrier created to gather blood more efficiently, combat-wise it's a bit unsatisfactory.)

[Bellerophon]

[Rank: A+]

[Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm]

[Attack Distance: 2~50]

[Maximum Capture: 300 people]

[A physical attack that uses the Pegasus, a phantasmal species of the Confidential Confidential Age of gods, to crush the target with its ultra-high-speed charge!]

"Holy crap!"

Countless people gasped, looking shocked.

The powerful double-A panel appeared for the first time, almost blinding people's eyes.

Compared to the Three Knights class servants, Rider is actually stronger?

This is not only because Medusa herself is very strong, but also seems to be related to Matou Makoto's magic circuits.

Could it be that Matou Makoto will be the winner of the Fifth Holy Grail War?

The lonely Sky Screen flashed, and the camera about the Berserker group slowly emerged.

31. Magic Tyrant, the Terrible Purge King!

[One year ago, the residence of von Einzbern.]

[The chill of winter drifted, and heavy snow covered the ancient castle.]

[Inside the castle, it was empty and dark, dead silent to the point of being creepy.]

[The young girl from an ancient magic family was kneeling on the ground in fear, fear invading her whole body, and fine beads of sweat dripping from her forehead continuously.]

[Cold fear...]

[Trembling...]

[Despair...]

[At this moment, the extreme confidence in her own beautiful appearance, the rhetoric carefully prepared before coming to the von Einzbern family, the rich bargaining chips in her hand...]

[All seemed to have become a humorous joke.]

[Her brain was blank, unable to think...]

[The moment she saw that brutal figure, she understood the fact that she was a discarded pawn.]

[The young girl lowered her head, the figure sitting at the forefront of the round table lingering in her heart like a nightmare, unable to be shaken off.]

[On the throne, the Purge King looked down at her, revealing a hearty smile.]

["Tell me, what is your intention?"]

["W-want, to form an alliance with you, to obtain the tactical support of von Einzbern."]

[She crawled on the ground, her throat trembling, as if her soul had been frozen.]

[The man thought for a moment, then walked down from the throne, took out a silver coin from his hand, and smiled: "A request for help from the Orpheus family, I agree."]

["Thank... thank you!!"]

[She was astonished at first, then choked with tears, unbelievable, kowtowing continuously.]

[Whoosh.]

[In the air, the sound of a coin spinning at high speed suddenly appeared.]

[Accompanied by a beautiful light falling.]

[The young girl caught it subconsciously.]

[—It's the back.]

[She suffocated, staring blankly at the top, completely frozen.]

["Another untrustworthy person..."]

[The king of dictatorial tyranny said lightly: "Get rid of her, Berserker."]

["Roar!!"]

[Beside the Purge King, the disheveled, hideous giant roared, and the aura of tyranny overflowed.]

[He raised his stone axe and slashed down suddenly in the young girl's desperate gaze.]

["Rumble...!!"]

[Accompanied by the shockwave of air being compressed and blasted away, the entire magnificent Einzbern Castle slowly collapsed.]

[In the ruins, amidst countless broken walls and debris, the beautiful corpse, severed in two, lay in a pool of blood.]

[The man watched everything happen calmly.]

At this moment, the whole world was deathly silent.

Every country.

Every ethnic group.

Countless people were stunned, staring blankly at the bloody and brutal screen.

Chiba City, Bureau of Extraordinary Disaster Countermeasures.

"Deciding someone else's life just by flipping a coin..."

"What does he take life for!!"

Jianshan Huangquan was furious, indignantly drawing her divine sword, Lion King, and slashing toward the screen.

——Whoosh!

A stunning blade aura, like a red lotus, slashed toward the sky, flying straight toward the screen.

Without subsequent spiritual power, it quickly dissipated into nothingness on the way.

It also allowed her to vent a little of her anger.

Hoori Town, Shrine.

The divine sword stuck in the stone platform hummed, and the green-haired loli ghost flew out from the Murasame-maru, stomping her feet in annoyance.

"For a Berserker to fall into the hands of such a person, it is truly casting pearls before swine, aiding the tyrant in his evil!"

Tokyo, "Master of All Yokai," the great yokai Nura Rihan frowned tightly.

"What a naturally evil little mage brat."

"It's a pity we were born in different worlds, otherwise I would definitely have personally..."

Under the indignant condemnation of the people.

The screen slowly moved the camera, revealing the true face of the brutal King of Purge.

["Berserker is still the most useful..."]

[At the edge of the pool of blood, the man said faintly, dressed in pitch-black clothes and trousers.]

[He had messy, unkempt hair, dark circles covering his eyelids, as if he hadn't slept for several years. His left eyelid drooped, while his right eye was wide open and deep, one eye large and one small, hollow and lusterless.]

[Giving a very weary feeling, his whole body was also shrouded in a faint despair.]

[Not far away, two pink and blue homunculus maids stood chest to chest, holding hands, and let out exclamations.]

["Rem, Rem, Lord Subaru is amusing himself with Berserker again, how pitiful."]

["Sister, sister, Lord Subaru is bullying Berserker again, how inhumane."]

[The tone was quite synchronized, like pink and blue radios freshly off the assembly line.]

[The King of Purge was silent, glancing at the two of them gloomily.]

[In an instant.]

[The two cute maids became nervous, holding hands and shrinking into the corner.]

["Scary, I feel like I'm going to have my head cut off by Lord Subaru, Rem."]

["Terrifying, I feel like I'm going to be cut in half by Lord Subaru's blade, sister."]

[Although they were homunculi of the von Einzbern family, they seemed no different from cute middle school students.]

[Youthful and lively people are inevitably a bit noisy.]

[Until he calmly placed a finger on his lips and blew a breath.]

["Shh~"]

[Instantly, the entire ruins of the von Einzbern castle became deathly silent.]

[Even the birds passing by in the sky didn't dare to make the slightest sound.]

[——This is the prestige of the "King of Purge."]

[He is the current head of the von Einzbern family, holding a well-trained homunculus army under his command, invincible in attack and battle, and has caused devastating blows to the four major financial groups in Japan.]

[Killing is purely based on interest, and 127,602 people have already died at his hands.]

[He is notorious, a well-deserved "Tyrant of the Magic World!"]

[His name is —— Natsuki Subaru.]

"I am a tyrant...?"

In the screen world, a shut-in otaku was directly shocked.

Under what circumstances would the parallel world version of himself become such a ruthless character!

Holding an extraordinary army, destroying financial groups with a flick of a finger, a super vicious criminal who has killed 100,000 people...

Did you lose your parents or something?

Others become ten times stronger when they turn dark, you become ten thousand times stronger?

32. Yukinoshita Yukino's heavy sins, 4A stats shock the world, the Hercules of strength!

The atmosphere of the screen was filled with faint sadness, and the oppressive orchestral music rose and fell.

It was as if one could hear the cuckoo crying blood, turning into an indelible, thick sorrow.

This is a wandering loneliness, the heart is cold, and no one knows.

["Ten years, you still haven't returned."]

[The King of Purge whispered, took out the photo he carried with him from his pocket, and sneered mockingly.]

[Then he carefully put it into his bosom.]

[The photo shows Yukino in her girlhood, with her hand on a child's head.]

[At that time, he was nine years old, possessed a special magic constitution, could amplify heroic spirits and magic, and was therefore taken in by the von Einzbern family to... perform inhumane experiments.]

[Under the torture of the von Einzbern family, he gradually became indifferent and numb.]

[Suddenly one day, a woman came to the von Einzbern family.]

[In the castle filled with ice and snow all day long...]

[A ray of precious sunlight shone in.]

[That was a mysterious woman, pursuing justice, dashing, and smiling.]

[Later he learned that the person's name was Yukinoshita Yukino, and she was one of the participants in the Fourth Holy Grail War.]

[Originally, Yukino said she would save him, very seriously, but in the end, there was no news... He was always being experimented on.]

[He occasionally thought that perhaps Yukino had already died in the Fourth Holy Grail War, or had some unspeakable hardship, so she couldn't come back.]

[He was in the cold castle, lying by the window day after day, hoping... that one day he could wait for that woman to return to von Einzbern.]

[It doesn't matter if the face is frozen stiff.]

[It doesn't matter if the hands have frostbite.]

[Even if he has a cold or fever, he will definitely go.]

[Until he participated in the von Einzbern surgery, 70% of his body was implanted with magic circuits, and the corpses of children like him piled up like mountains, everyone died... but he was still alive.]

[Later, Subaru no longer needed Yukino to save him, and he alone backlashed the entire von Einzbern family.]

[No one could point fingers at him anymore, and no one could be high and mighty.]

["King of Purge," is the ruler of von Einzbern, and even hundreds of thousands of subordinates.]

[Later, he learned.]

[Although Yukino died, she lived with another child for five years before she died.]

[...In the eyes of that betrayer, perhaps he was just an existence that could be dispensed with.]

[The vow under the snow had long since become empty, and promises were cheaper than yellowed rice paper after being broken.]

[He deeply understood that the human world is hell, with endless betrayal and endless hatred.]

[The instinct to survive drives everyone to kill, scheme, and calculate. Vows cannot enter the human heart, feelings cannot withstand the years, and obsession is nothing more than a person's delusion. In the end... everything becomes empty.]

[He walked staggeringly, and the world in his eyes gradually faded, turning into a monotonous black and white.]

[All living beings are despicable deceivers, and there is nothing worth trusting.]

All living beings were silent.

The world is in a sea of bitterness, feelings are like snow, hatred is like a knife, beautiful memories will not fade with the passage of time, but ferment in the passage, becoming a dream deeply branded in the bottom of the heart that cannot be explained or understood.
