In an instant, Mei Lian's eyes, which had just been cute and kind, turned blood red, and powerful magic began to gather rapidly around him, a sign that a battle was about to begin.

He cannot allow Shen Qiu to kill Nero Chaos.

On one hand, the burial agency and the sealing designation are secretly cooperating; on the other hand, the death of one ancestor will inevitably lead to the emergence of another ancestor to replace him, and that person is subject to too much uncertainty.

Therefore, from any perspective, he could not allow Shen Qiu to kill Nero.

Unlike Nero Chaos, who is skilled at using Reality Marbles, Merlin is skilled at using high-level Summoning Arts to summon powerful monsters from Hell.

Among them are four magical beasts that have tried to make their own trump cards, each possessing one of their own limbs and torso.

Each of these four magical beasts possesses power comparable to that of the mythical creatures of the Age of Gods, and under Mei Lian's deliberate training, they have even approached the level of divine beasts.

The beautiful rings on her ten fingers were not just for show; each of the ten rings contained a powerful magical beast that could attack with a single thought, without the need for chanting or guidance.

Just like when he took the blow for Nero Chaos.

"...Of course, as you can see, I'm just living peacefully in this city and haven't done anything out of line, but they came to my door without warning. I said, no matter what, reason isn't on your side."

At this moment, the magic power on Shen Qiu's body also began to gather, and there were signs of it exploding.

He was already a little angry!

He always believed that he had a very good temper and would avoid killing if possible. Even if he had to kill someone, he would only do so if he was sure that the other party had really crossed his bottom line.

The Association of Magicians and Nero Chaos have not only crossed my bottom line, they have trampled on it!

If I were to be weak and give in at this time, the other party would only come knocking on my door again and again. In that case, it would be hard to guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen to Sakura, Kirie, or Justisa.

I must never allow such a thing to happen.

"Then it seems that fighting is the only option."

Mei Lian slightly distanced herself from Nero Chaos's attacks. Compared to Nero Chaos's relatively simple attack methods, her physical skills were weaker, so she focused on summoning and spirit magic to ensure her physical body remained safe.

Hey, you brat over there!

Miss Orange, a dashing beauty who had just finished smoking a cigarette, strode over in high heels and an orange coat.

"You'd better think this through. Our boy is furious. Even Chaos, who's ranked ten places higher than you, has lost. Are you going to just give up like this?"

"not to mention--"

Orange turned her gaze to Shen Qiu and Qingzi.

"A Grand Mage, two Magicians—I want to ask, who gave you the audacity to cause trouble in this place!"

Compared to Shen Qiu's indifferent tone (Li Wang Zhao), Chengzi's words were much more violent. This included not only the humiliation of being given the color "Red" by the Magicians Association back then, but also the grievances of hiding and running away in recent years to escape the seal.

Her words seemed to awaken Mei Lian. He looked bitterly at the two women and one man standing in front of him. That's right, the Third Magician, the Fifth Magician, and the Grand Magician Aozaki Touko were all here.

If we really have to fight, how can I win?

"Hey kids, let's call it a day, okay? Things have gotten a bit out of hand."

Just as the two sides were locked in a fierce battle, a voice, though somewhat aged, was still loud and clear, and rang out in everyone's ears.

At the same time, there was an almost terrifying sense of oppression!

Shen Qiu and Qingzi were fine, but Chengzi and Mei Lian found themselves completely unable to move. Then—they saw an old man with white hair, wearing a black cloak, suddenly leap down from somewhere.

After he landed on the ground, everyone finally saw his true face.

"Zelrich Kishua Schbein'ogu!"

These words were spoken by Orange. Having studied at the Clock Tower for many years, she had naturally heard countless legends about this "old man"—the legendary second magician, the terrifying fourth among the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles, and the story of how he defeated Zhu Yue and saved the Earth three hundred years ago...

And so on, and so forth.

"Oh dear, oh dear, you don't need to call me that. Just call me Jewel Elder, or Zelrich, that's fine. I'm telling you all—"

After surveying the area with his gaze, he slowly began to speak.

"How about we call it a day to do you all a favor?"

Thus, the three mages have gathered together!

Chapters 30-80: Battle against the Jewel Elder! The truth behind the Third Law!

Oppressive force.

Moreover, it was an extremely oppressive force, so strong that Mei Lian could hardly breathe. Although the other party looked like just an old man with white hair, he could be considered the strongest among all the people still active in the world!

It's important to know that the opponent has a formidable record of defeating [Crimson Moon Brunstad], who was ranked third among the Twenty-Seven Dead Apostles and almost turned all of humanity on Earth into Dead Apostles.

Who is Zhu Yue? She is the King of the Moon! The true ancestors of all the Dead Apostles, that is to say, the so-called twenty-seven ancestors of the Dead Apostles are all derivatives of Zhu Yue.

The opponent is even connected to Gaia, the world's suppressor. It's no wonder that it has such a strong oppressive force, given that it was able to defeat such a terrifying monster.

"Well, well, no need to be so nervous. I was just traveling around and happened to pass by. After seeing such strong magical fluctuations, I came to investigate. I didn't expect it to be so lively—"

As he spoke, Zelrich glanced around at everyone present.

“FabroRowan, Crown Merlin Solomon, Fifth Magician Aozaki Aoko, Grand Puppeteer Aozaki Touko, and—”

Note: FabroRowan is Nero Chaos's real name, although he hardly uses it anymore and very few people know it.

The white-haired Gemstone Elder stared intently at Shen Qiu, who was still holding a light blue katana, with his red pupils. Unlike the others, despite the strong sense of oppression from Zelrich, he was not affected at all.

"I suppose you are the newly appointed Third Magician, Matou Aki... or rather, the outsider?"

When Zelrich uttered the words "outsider," Shen Qiu felt a sudden chill, because although he had already made the Type-Moon world his home, he had also followed the name Matou Aki and lived in this world.

He became Sakura's brother and Kirie and Justessa's lover, but no one had ever discovered that he was an outsider. However, at this moment, he was seen through at a glance.

Instantly, a surge of killing intent welled up in the boy's mind. With his current strength, he might not be without the ability to confront the Gem Elder head-on.

Zelrich seemed to sense this as well, and instead of delving deeper into the topic, he changed the subject.

"So, you all, why are you here in this small Guanbuzi City? What are you ancestors and magicians doing here?"

On the other side, the Hall of Garan.

"Sister Yustisa, do you think my brother and the others... will really be alright?"

At this time, Sakura was only about ten years old, but her stunning beauty was already beginning to show, making her quite adorable.

"I don't know either, but... I felt a very familiar force, as if it was calling me. I have to go, I must go!"

Yustisa gritted her teeth, ignored Sakura and Kirie's attempts to stop her, got on her motorcycle, and headed straight for the battlefield!

"I see. It was all for such a trivial matter? Those idiots from the Magicians' Association and the Church of the Altar, instead of focusing on their research, they're always thinking about controlling more power. It's really boring."

"It made you laugh."

Mei Lian and Chaos spoke almost simultaneously, because they both knew that although the old man in front of them appeared kind and approachable, he was actually... well, to put it another way.

A character who is extremely difficult to describe.

Despite being a mage, he is also the fourth of the twenty-seventh Dead Apostle Ancestor. He should be living a life of seclusion like the other mages, but he is extremely enthusiastic about participating in worldly affairs.

In short, neither the Holy Church nor the Magicians' Association could do anything about him.

Who can blame them when the other party is the Grand Marshal of the Demonic Path?

"However, kid, you're quite interesting. You've been to the Vortex of Origin, haven't you?"

Zelrich crossed his arms and looked with interest at the young man in front of him. He was good-looking, with hair that had a hint of light blue. His eyes were scarlet, just like his own, but they had strange patterns swirling inside, probably some kind of demonic eye.

"You're right."

Shen Qiu did not put down the Moon Silver in his hand, but remained on high alert. The appearance of Zelrich could be said to have disrupted his pre-arranged plan.

Moreover, it is still uncertain whether they are friend or foe.

"Not bad, not bad. To be able to retrieve the Third Magic, which had already been taken away from Gaia and Alaya, you must have extraordinary abilities. This makes me even more curious about you."

However, just as Gemstone Elder was speaking eloquently to everyone without any restraint, a soft yet clear female voice rang out.

“Zelrich…”

It was Yustissa who had arrived on her motorcycle, but her attire was different from before. Under the guidance of Kirie and Touko, she had gradually adapted to modern life and clothing.

She wore a white pleated skirt and black knee-high socks with small leather shoes. Only her long white hair remained unchanged, neither permed nor dyed.

"Who are you....."

Upon witnessing this scene, the Gemstone Elder's eyes widened in disbelief. The appearance of this person in front of him was far beyond his expectations—no, it was completely unexpected.

"The Saintess of Winter".

"No, that's not right. You are not the Winter Saintess... No, that's not right either. You are the Winter Saintess, but you come from another world."

After a moment's thought, the Demonic Marshal easily cracked the answer.

Although the two were in different time periods, what happened back then was exactly the same: the Fuyuki, Tohsaka, and Matou families united and used Justeza's last remaining Third Law as a sacrifice to create the Holy Grail, and everything that followed was related to the Holy Grail War.

On that occasion, he appeared as a witness.

When they met again, both remained silent. Even this Grand Marshal of the Demonic Path still doesn't know whether he did the right thing or the wrong thing back then.

"Is it the power of the third magic, creation... and regeneration?!"

Zelrich turned his attention back to Shen Qiu, and he could now understand why the Magicians' Association valued Shen Qiu's matter so much.

Because if such power were to fall upon someone with ill intentions, it would be a disaster for humanity and for the entire world—a complete and utter disaster.

"Hey, kid!"
