Black Book

Chapter 452: Seven Riders of the Crown
"See, it's all your fault. You scared them away! Now we have nothing to eat... uh, there's nothing fun to watch."

Zhu Haomiao's resentful mutterings echoed in his ears, and Amaterasu rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

But at this moment, an inexplicable throbbing blossomed in the souls of the three people. In an instant, a mysterious wave swept across heaven and earth, and the entire planet exuded a magnificent spiritual light that could not be observed by mortals.

Bathing in the spiritual ocean, the three people felt something in their hearts. They looked up into the void and vaguely saw a gorgeous and beautiful golden holy grail gradually condensing in the dimension beyond matter.

And on the golden cup, seven gems of different colors are inlaid around it, emitting a gorgeous and fascinating light.

"The Seven Knights of the Crown..."

As if instinctively, the three of them understood the symbolic meaning behind the gem, and they all frowned slightly at the same time.

Only the final seven crown servants are eligible to compete for the Holy Grail...

All [Heroic Spirits] will compete for these seven places!

[Holy Grail War]...has begun!

The next second, the seven-colored gems fell off the Holy Grail, turned into seven-colored meteors and fell into the material world, instantly pouring into the bodies of the seven Servants.

Watching the three-colored light falling into their bodies, the three of them widened their eyes, looked at each other, and looked at each other with strange expressions.

"Do you understand what this [Crown] means?"

"I don't quite understand. It feels like it was chosen by fate...similar to the child of destiny?"

"No, this is more like an incomplete [divine authority], which will definitely trigger competition from other [servants]!"

Raising her hand, Amaterasu stared at her fair palm hesitantly, then slowly clenched her fist.

"I am the [Grand Technique]. In addition to my own strength, I also possess a portion of the supreme authority of this world!"

Immediately, Amaterasu looked at the two people beside her with a questioning look.

"I am the [Grand Sword]. Like you, I have also obtained a portion of authority."

Gabriel answered calmly, and then they both looked at the young man in black.

Zhu Haomiao blinked his eyes with a strange look on his face, and asked in confusion: "I am the [Grand Rank·Bow]. Strange, shouldn't I be the [Sword]?"

Facing the black-clothed boy's puzzled gaze, Gabriel shook his head lightly.

"Perhaps the distribution of the [Crown] of the World Will has unknown rules, and it is not based on conventional weapons."

Hearing this, Zhu Haomiao nodded thoughtfully. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he looked fiercely at Amaterasu.

"What do you see me doing?"

"No, it's nothing."

Noticing the strange mood of the young man in black, Amaterasu reacted immediately and said angrily.

"Don't mention the matter of the First Heaven anymore!"

"I did not say anything!"

"Why are you so loud?!"

"........."

Watching Amaterasu leave in a huff, Zhu Haomiao scratched his head in pain. Gabriel on the side glanced at him quietly, shook his head, turned into a sky full of illusory feathers, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Reaching out and pinching a pure white feather, watching it fade away little by little between his fingers, the rich emotions on Zhu Haomiao's face gradually faded, and his eyes became indifferent and cold.

The Seven Knights of the Crown...

Amaterasu, Gabriel, Thor, Athena, Amon, Cain...

Finally, add yourself...

There are exactly seven mythical adventers... and holding the [Crown], while gaining supreme authority, also means having to endure constant challenges from other [Servants], and even assassinations and traps...

Even if I am not afraid, what about the Master?

There is no need for other [Servants] to confront me head-on. They just need to patiently avoid me and focus on the [Master]!

If the [Master] is killed, the [Servant]'s very foundation of existence will collapse, its essence will disintegrate, and it will be no different from complete death!
There are always times when you are not at "home", right?

Looking up at the night sky which had long since returned to calm, Zhu Haomiao frowned slightly.

In fact, he had already vaguely felt that it was time to return and rest.

The period when he was away from the fantasy realm was the most dangerous time for Abe Waka.

"Zhu Jun, the Holy Grail War has begun!!"

Just as he was thinking about it, the excited voice of Abe Waka came in his mind. Zhu Haomiao's mind moved, and he looked at the eastern coastline in surprise.

"How did you contact me?"

In a distant city, Abe Waka clenched his fists, stared at the flickering black dragon pattern on the back of his hands, and murmured silently.

"I don't know either. I just suddenly feel that the connection between us is closer. No matter how far apart we are, we can communicate with each other through the mysterious contract."

More connected?
It's better to say that the anchor is more secure...

Through the power of law, two originally independent existences are bound together at the conceptual level...

What's the point of doing this?
He tapped his brows lightly, remembering the dangers Liu Hongbin had warned him about before entering the fantasy realm. Zhu Haomiao felt vaguely that he had grasped something, but after careful consideration, he found nothing.

After hesitating for a moment, the young man in black shook his head and put aside all distracting thoughts, but suddenly a scream came to his ears.

"ah!"

"what happened?"

"Someone is attacking the mansion's barrier! I feel it, it's another [Servant]!"

"How can it be so fast??!"

With a thought, Zhu Haomiao suddenly understood that the so-called [Crown] might be like a searchlight in the dark night in the eyes of other [Masters] and [Servants], extremely eye-catching!

The density of [Servants] in Tokyo city is extremely high right now, so it's not surprising that a few reckless men happen to be near the Abe family residence.

However, Zhu Haomiao did not expect that they would be so "decisive and ruthless". They probably did not even investigate the intelligence and just acted recklessly!
Rumble~
Faintly hearing the sound of explosions coming from Abe Waka's side, Zhu Haomiao activated the [Swift Wind Force] and turned into a residual image that tore through the atmosphere. The terrifying wind force left a straight white wave along the way, which gradually calmed down after a long time.

"Can you hold on?"

"It should be no problem. Our Abe family is not to be trifled with!"

While rushing back quickly, Zhu Haomiao asked in his mind, and after hearing Abe Waka's answer, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was in the open sea after all, and it would take at least ten minutes to get back to the other side of the city.

Just as Zhu Haomiao was running at full speed, Abe Waka's fear suddenly came to his soul.

In the dark, a shadow of death came from the mysterious contractual connection, and a hideous and wild laugh echoed in the ears.

"What good luck! It's actually an unowned [Crown]!"

His pupils suddenly shrank, and a circle of terrifying divine light exploded in the depths of Zhu Haomiao's pupils. He activated [Pride] without reservation and forcibly pushed open the ancient door deep in the ocean of consciousness.

Following the summoner's consciousness, an unfamiliar star responded to Zhu Haomiao's call, projecting a brilliant outline in reality.

In an instant, a golden bridge made of white jade spread out under Zhu Haomiao's feet, instantly tearing open the void.
