“Hey! Wait a minute! ”

While Yurius and the knights were besieging the nobles a moment ago, the masked man left at the top of the castle frowned, his face distorted.

Suramazon said he would stop the intruders at the back door and ran down without consultation with him.

"That ignorant bastard! No matter how confident you are, you're not ready for this. ’

The user drops a doll disguised as Duke Arsen to buy some time, but the target cuts off its head.

‘What should I do? It's not even half full yet. ’

What he had to make a serious face was originally what he was going to do after gathering enough sacred power in the Shadow Holy Grail in a few days.

However, it was much quicker for the opponent to find out what had happened!

“Hurry up and move the sacrifices in front of the Holy Grail! ”

“I understand.”

“And you! ”

“Yes?”

The masked man put all the ordinary people who had been arrested for the sacrifice into the Holy Grail. But he still didn't have the numbers he wanted.

Ta-tak!

Yurius' voice echoes up the stone steps, and he has no choice.

It's because Yurius and I had a breakdown before, so we weren't sure we were going to win with this much preparation. At last, as he makes his decision, his glare flashes sharply between the masks.

“The risk is too great, but what can I do! ”

* * *

Copy?

Yurius looks down at the Black Guy and tilts his head. Why is his name embedded there?

The answer came right out.

Kang!

Instinctively, Yurius frowns as he holds up his sword.

"The Intangible Sword"?

Surprisingly, the Black Guy had the same qualities of Yurius. A habit of wielding a sword to a superhuman grade. It even has its quadratic qualities.

Glug.

There was not one person there. Yurius quickly retreats back to the flimsy posture he feels from behind. It's because two black gangsters came after him with no time to breathe.

I was trying to stop him somehow, but it was clear that Yurius was outnumbered.

The body finally reveals itself, checking and satisfied with him while pushing back frantically. The darkness regrouped from the broken fragments of the Holy Grail, and the masked man revealed himself.

Zec.

As he raises his hands, the monsters step back for a moment. However, Yurius was still surrounded in three directions, as if trying to prevent a retreat.

‘He's real. ’

Yurius gazes carefully at the masked man who appears.

[Giovanni] (Rain Status)

Occupation: Merchant, Archbishop (Heimdall), Puppet Master

Strength: B Atk: B Atk: S Atk: A + Dark Atk: SS +

Tendency: greed, fanaticism

[Characteristics]

Creative Burning: The power to turn blood into fire

Marionette: The power of self-immolation The body will also be hit if the alter ego is devastated.

Coming: Bigi fuses with tribal sacraments to increase his power. Instead, if you perish, the sacred things perish as well.

(New) Soul copy-call the baggage that copied the specified target's information.

"Duplicate"?

Yurius finally figured out what these monsters really are. The masked man Giovanni was also staring at him with a confident expression.

The power of the Divine Shadow was to invoke replication with the same power as the target. It was originally planned to replicate the Suramazon, but he thought the target was not much different, even if it was Yurius.

‘There are two identities with the same power as him, and no matter how he flies and crawls, he can't escape here. ’

He suggests to Yurius if he can spare a moment because he was certain of his victory.

“Wait a minute! ”

The pushing Yurius looks at him with a questionable look as he bites the monsters in the opponent's favor.

“Hmm?"

“You don't seem to be winning much, by the way. Are you willing to cooperate this way?" ”

“Why would I do that? ”

“If you help me, I can guarantee you the empire's position! We just need to hear a few of our demands. ”

“Phew…. ”

Giovanni looks at Yurius, who is in the Bear's posture with a look of contrition. In fact, this time he lost too much power. However, if Yurius, the current realm of the empire, cooperates with him, he will still be at a disadvantage.

"If that prince turns his head, will you accept my offer? ’

But a false answer popped out of Yurius' mouth.

“Is this how you seduced my brother? ”

“Hmm?"

Giovanni looks surprised for a moment. How did Yurius know that? But if you cooperate with him, it's not information you won't be able to reveal.

“That's true, but how did you know we contacted the Second Prince? ”

I knew it!

Yurius felt a puzzle fit inside. In the meantime, I thought it was suspicious because there was not much activity. It was not the Grand Duke, but Leonhard who was related to the Church.

‘I need to dig a little deeper into this guy. ’

“I can't tell you that. But why did you choose him? If you want the power of the Empire, you can convince me. ”

He was weak in his past life, so why did he only contact Leonhard on purpose, leaving him out of the competition in the first place?

“That's ……. ”

Giovanni looks troubled, touching his mask.

“I can't tell you that right now. I'll tell you when you get credit working with us. ”

“Is that such a big secret? ”

“ ……. ”

Yurius asked again, but Giovanni remained silent. There was definitely a secret that could not be revealed.

In a minute.

“So? Are you going to cooperate or not? We don't have time for this. ”

“Time?”

Yikes.

He smiled suspiciously again.

“Your loyal knights downstairs. If you don't want to lose everything, you better listen to me. ”

“Huh……. ”

Yurius groans. It was clear what that meant. That means those monsters went downstairs when the knights were waiting.

“ ……. ”

He stiffens his expression and points his sword forward again.

“Then we really don't have time for this. Let's get this cleaned up and get down. ”

“ ……!? ”

Giovanni smiles nervously. What do you mean, the guy you just pushed out of his mind is gonna clean up fast?

“What's that? ”

Kuang!

Before his dissertation is over, one of the monsters flies back, shredded. Unlike before, you got rid of the one who made it so easy.

Giovanni looks at Yurius with an unbelievable look.

“How? A divine form made of the power of the sacred object must possess your equal skill. ”

Yurius smiles and gives a short answer.

“I think if you use that on me, you'll get a faulty item. ”

“What?"

* * *

Meanwhile, Beatrice downstairs was busy retrieving the Strangler's Blade, but was forced to stare at the Strangler with a bluish face.

“Surely this is your sword? ”

“ ……. ”

The unsub is unresponsive. But judging by the discreetly approaching character or sword, the unsub was sure to have something to do with Yurius.

And of course, she and Yurius had their differences.

Gaaaah!

An intangible blade grazes her shoulder and creates blood. I could barely use my shoulder even if I dug a little deeper.

“Squad Leader! Cough! ”

The knights tried to help him, but the unsub was not the only one. Three monsters attacked the Knights.

“Everyone lay siege to the enemy! ”

But the monsters were really good. I roamed among the knights like a wolf in a flock.

Nearly no deaths were sustained, but the crisis of incapacitation was certain.

It was also a miracle that Beatrice was able to stop one by herself.

Kang!

‘It's not you. There can't be three of him. ’

Despite her elongation, she looks calm and calmed again.

‘And most of all, I couldn't have survived this long with the other knights. ’

She had never held out for Urius this long in the Dalian Union.

Of course, there were differences in skills, but the fundamental reason was that Yurius fought her so much that he penetrated all of her habits.

‘There are forces, velocities, reactions that are much lower than the real charge. ’

Grab it, grab it!

Beatrice was already a pale face with quite a lot of blood, but it was much more propaganda than before.

Yurius knew her sword well enough to challenge him now.

It's clear the opposing Pokémon has a superhuman salary, but it becomes easier to defend if the opposing Pokémon knows what kind of attack is coming.

‘This is enough to deal with. ’

A thought passes through her mind that prevents the madness of the attack. The target is using the same sword as Yurius. What if I am?

“Can you... catch the charge? ”

He muttered without even knowing it.

But at that moment! Her sword begins to change slowly.

In a fierce struggle, her thoughts slowly return to the past.

* * *

“How do I get over the wall? ”

“From the moment you catch the sword, you can achieve your goal. ”

Duke Dios, her father, replied:

“I don't really remember much, but when I found out what I wanted to change the future, the wall collapsed. ”

This was Yurius' answer.

Both of them are actually nonsense. Goals? Desires? Doesn't everyone have one?

But this moment! She first realized what she wanted. Didn't Jae Un-hyun also tell her this?

“Actually, I don't know why the Sawyer can't cross the wall. The foundation is solid and has a lot of practical experience... Why don't you take a look at why you started training instead of physical training? ”

Why did I start training for swords? ’

Her aim for the sword was first to be a great superhuman father. When I swing my sword hard to catch up with my father, I also heard the sound of genius, and I reached a high age.

As she recalls in a trance, she mutters incredibly.

“But not now. ”

The man who turned her was Urius, who met much earlier than I had planned. Both positions and relationships were quite different before.

Before meeting Yurius, her goal was to surpass the superhuman father. But I met Yurius, who had little age difference.

He's always been a few steps ahead of Beatrice. Every time she saw Yurius, she had mixed feelings, such as admiration, jealousy, and liking.

And finally she came to a conclusion.

‘My goal now is to stand alongside you! ’

As soon as I realized that, her sword changed.

* * *

Pot!

The beast's sword, which was dominating in the encounter with her, is strangely blocked. And it's not just that!

“ ……. ”

There is no sound of the sword swinging, but a small crack begins to break through the gangster's body.

Quadruck!

Yippee!

Surprisingly, the sound echoes late after the creature's body begins to crumble. Her sword shatters the villain faster than it sounds.

This is her four-step ability, Rapid!

It was the four-stage draw of Beatrice, the fastest known continent in the past. But she had no room to rejoice at breaking the wall.

We have to go save him! ’

She runs back to the knights at a terrifying speed.

The target's identity is unknown, but one thing is clear when the user breaks the wall without breaking it.

"Those monsters are much weaker than you! ’

* * *

Giovanni mutters with a foolish look.

“Faulty goods?”

Yurius replied coolly.

“Yes! I think I just followed the shell. ”

“No way! ”

He quickly draws out the power of the Holy Grail and produces a copy of Yurius again. Three more copies shoot at him at a rapid rate.

However, the results were no different than before.

Boom! Puppet!

The three lunged at you, but you were unable to hold out for a moment before Yurius' sword. But Giovanni's common sense never did.

“No way... The power of the Holy Ghost is absolute! ”

Whether the number of spleens was too muffled or too muffled, he muttered in a hypnotic manner, continuing to draw the power of the Holy Grail to produce an endless copy.

"If you can't do it, you can push it at the very least! ’

But it was also useless.

Parker!

A beam is drawn in the room around Yurius.

His dagger splits Giovanni and Copy into one piece. At the same time, the whole room tilted and the noise rang.

Krrrrrrr!

The top of his castle was a room in a spire. He becomes the top of the spire.

[You defeated the Archbishop of Heimdall.]

[You destroyed the artifact.]

Yurius looks at Giovanni, who opens his eyes as if he can't believe it.

“That's certainly an amazing power, but it doesn't copy to your character. ”
