He will become an ordinary Dead Apostle, living by drinking blood, until he re-hunts down 666 beasts and assimilates them into his Realized Boundary, which will be a long process.

Perhaps ten years, perhaps twenty years.

During this time, he will become extremely weak, and it is possible that an ordinary church clergyman could capture and kill him.

However, at this point, there's no time to think about all that anymore!

"Is this the power of a Reality Marble...?"

Seeing the seemingly boundless and endless beastly energy attacking the Susanoo-like beast, Shen Qiu's face also showed a solemn expression, and he extinguished the purplish-black flame in his hand.

He originally intended to use Vel'Koz's ultimate finishing move from the Void—the Plasma Disintegration Ray—to deliver a fatal blow, but it was clear that he couldn't do it.

"So--"

Similarly, Shen Qiu took a deep breath and took out the weapon that resembled a sword but was not a sword for the second time from his spatial ring.

EA – The Sword of Creation – Ea!

Even if it's a fake, even if it only has one-seventh of the power of the real Ea.

{Here's a bit of background information: the true Creation Sword, the Sword of Ea, isn't the weapon Gilgamesh is holding. It's a Star Weapon; Gilgamesh's is merely a divinely crafted weapon, while Shen Qiu's is the genuine Faker version.}

The boy raised his longsword high, aimed it at the endless sea of ​​beasts directly below, and then closed his eyes.

"Narrive at the beginning" describes the original "

"At the dawn of creation, even nothingness offered its applause."

I will tear the world apart with my Ea sword—

"Around the mortar of stars, the celestial hell is the end of the eve of creation!"

“EnumaElish!”

Chapter 379: The Gemstone Elder Descends, Magicians Gather

"Ha ha..."

On the ground, which had been scorched into scorched earth by the powerful pressure of the Ea sword, Nero Chaos, the tenth Dead Apostle, lay prostrate on the ground, spitting out blood continuously.

Sixty-six beast genes were instantly, in a mere instant, sliced ​​apart by the powerful wind pressure of the Ea sword, without even a chance to resist. How long did they hold out? A second? Or two seconds?

Nero Chaos didn't know, but he knew he might really die this time.

What does death taste like?

His mind was a complete mess; after living for hundreds of years, he had forgotten many things, such as fear and his understanding of death.

But now, he understands.

It was a bone-chilling cold.

Looks like you've lost.

After dispelling his Susanoo armor, Shen Qiu lightly leaped to the ground and drew his Moon Silver sword. Nero Chaos was now just like an ordinary human being, no, even weaker than an ordinary human being.

"It seems the story of Tsukihime is about to change. I wonder what will happen next..."

At this moment, this was the question that was on Shen Qiu's mind.

The Dead Apostle desperately opened his eyes, which had been cut by the wind pressure of the Ecstasy sword, trying to see the boy's appearance clearly.

He was not very old, at most sixteen or seventeen years old, with a delicate face. He was wearing a black uniform commonly seen on Japanese high school students, and looked just like an ordinary high school student.

However... this boy, who seemed like an ordinary high school student, easily crushed him. His proud Innate Barrier and Beast King Factor were like paper, unable to cause any damage to his opponent.

Even the dust on the clothes didn't get on them.

"Let's use this trick to send you to your grave,"

The purplish-black energy flowed from the boy's body to the light blue katana, filled with the power of void annihilation energy that could ensure the opponent's soul would be obliterated as well, leaving no way for them to be reborn.

no way--

Who told Shen Qiu to be so cautious and prudent? You know, he almost capsized in the last battle against Ban.

"Hatake Sword Technique - First Form"

After taking a light breath, Shen Qiu raised the bright silver katana in his hand.

"A flash of aurora!"

"Hatake Sword Technique - First Form: Aurora Flash!"

Just like his name suggests, he attacked the opponent like a flash of light. Without super A-level agility, it would be impossible to dodge!

"Pfft"

Crimson blood bloomed in mid-air, but it wasn't Nero Chaos's head that was pierced, but rather a vicious dog with three heads.

This is a demon, a three-headed dog from hell.

After blocking the blow, the vicious dog let out a mournful howl, then vanished from the world as spiritual particles.

"Really, really, thank goodness we arrived at the last minute, otherwise it would have been a huge problem."

Following the sound, Shen Qiu looked at the adorable little boy who was letting out a long sigh of relief not far away—even though this was only his "temporary appearance".

"How interesting, another one has arrived?"

Shen Qiu looked at Merlin Solomon, dressed in a white church uniform, with great interest. Of course, he recognized him. He was one of the main protagonists of the subsequent Moon Princess story, the twentieth of the twenty-seven Dead Apostles, and also served the Burial Agency.

Although it is only the twentieth ancestor, it is much more troublesome.

"Chaos, I destroyed a ring to save you, you can compensate me later."

Looking at Nero Chaos slowly recovering on the ground, Mei Lian casually cracked a joke. At the same time, she glanced at Shen Qiu not far away.

Upon arriving in Guanbuzi City, the two immediately sensed a tremendous magical power, and without stopping, they rushed towards the place where Shen Qiu and Nero Chaos were fighting at the speed of light.

However, before Aoko could even get close to him—a deafening roar erupted, and immense magical power, mixed with terrifying cutting force, swept across everything within a ten-kilometer radius. If he hadn't been the tenth of the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles, and Aoko the Fifth Mage—

Then there's only one outcome: death!

Indeed, the power of the Ea is unreasonable; it's an indiscriminate area-of-effect attack that bombards the entire map, regardless of friend or foe. That's why Shen Qiu doesn't easily use this trump card, not just because he's afraid of exposing this Noble Phantasm.

More importantly, due to the overwhelming power of this Noble Phantasm, even though I can reduce the amount of magic power I can output, it is still not to be underestimated.

Once the aftershocks of the Ea sword had subsided, the two rushed over, only to be met with this unexpected sight—

Nero Chaos, the tenth patriarch of the Dead Apostles, was knocked to the ground and unable to move. His body looked as if he had been run over by a wheel, a truly gruesome sight.

The culprit behind all this was naturally the boy opposite him, who was Matou Aki, the suspected Third Magician, whom his superior, Kovalet, had asked him to investigate!

Hey, hey, hey, what's going on here? Can anyone tell me?

Aoko looked at the forest, which had been blasted into ruins, with a bewildered expression. The boy and the Dead Apostle were there. She had been summoned here by her sister in the middle of the night, but she had no idea what was going on.

This is just so incredibly baffling!

“Oh, it’s been a long time, sister. Oh, and Mr. Merlin Solomon too.”

Just then, a voice that was extremely familiar to both Shen Qiu and Qingzi came over.

Chengzi stepped out of a powerful Mustang SUV, a cigarette dangling from her lips, still sporting her usual carefree and irreverent demeanor.

"Oh? Nero Chaos was actually defeated by you? Oh dear, if I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have bothered to inform my lovely and dear sister. After all, she's busy traveling all over the world."

Seeing Nero Chaos Orange's surprised expression as he barely managed to stand up, relying on the powerful strength of the Dead Apostles, he wasn't too surprised. After all, this boy named Matou Aki had already made him somewhat numb to surprise.

"I was waiting for my older sister's message, which made me rush over from Shinjuku overnight on the Shinkansen. She didn't even tell me what was going on, and—"

As she spoke, she shifted her gaze to Shen Qiu and Nero Chaos.

"In a place like this, using this level of magic to fight, even if the place is remote enough and bystanders have been arranged to disperse the crowd beforehand, it's impossible for the secular world not to react!"

As she spoke, Aoko rubbed her temples; she knew her sister's call for her meant trouble.

"Thank you so much... Mei Lian."

Nero Chaos, who was already able to stand up, stood next to the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy. Although they were both ancestors, their powers and influence were different.

However, as mentioned before, although the Magicians' Association and the Holy Church are outwardly irreconcilable enemies, their respective armed forces—the Sealing Designation and the Buried Mechanism—are actually quite harmonious.

This is truly a model of being able to have one's cake and eat it too.

"It seems that things are quite clear now, and I don't need to investigate further. Matou Aki, you are the Third Magician, right? Otherwise, Chaos wouldn't have been injured like this by you."

"The third...mage?"

Following Mei Lian Solomon's gaze, Aozaki Aoko, who had never met Shen Qiu before, looked at the boy who was still holding a light blue katana. Well, how should I put it...?

She's really good-looking...

But when it comes to fighting, he doesn't seem like the kind of battle maniac at all! She had heard of Nero Chaos's reputation; he was one of the main forces in the campaign against Fuhailin fifty years ago.

How could he be beaten so badly by this handsome young man who was at most fifteen or sixteen years old that he couldn't even fight back? If Mei Lian hadn't come to his rescue in time, he would probably be dead by now!

“Merlian Solomon, the twentieth patriarch of the Dead Apostles, the fifth member of the Burial Agency, codenamed ‘Crown’, how interesting. The Church of Christ has even mobilized for a nobody like me from the Far East.”

Shen Qiu's lips curled into a slightly annoyed smile. He only had ten days of vacation, and he was supposed to stay in Guanbuzi City with Sakura, Kirie, and Yustissa, enjoying a long-awaited normal life.

Why do these guys keep coming to cause trouble and mess things up for me?

This is truly intolerable.

Are you going to kill him?
