To become a king and a magician

--------------------------------

A few minutes later.

"Well......"

Opening her eyes once more, Arcueid slowly rose from the sofa as she gazed at the dome of Avalon that came into view.

"Yes, this time he's definitely back... uh!"

Suddenly, in an instant, a powerful impulse burst forth from Arcueid's body.

It's a vampire urge!

Having experienced it once or twice, Arcueid immediately understood her situation, but just as she was about to forcefully suppress it, this impulse inexplicably brought her a sense of unease.

It wasn't an impulse for blood, but a thirst for omnipresent magic.

(This... is this the urge to drink the devil that Meryl was talking about?)

Feeling the magic power gradually flowing into her body, and the impulse that had been slightly calmed by the magic power, Arcueid roughly understood what Meryl meant—but this was far too slow!

If she relies solely on absorbing magic power like this, it will take a very long time for her to weaken it to the point where she can suppress it all at once.

"Oh right, Tiger, Meryl told me to go find him."

Arcueid immediately began looking around for Natsukawa Tora's figure; she remembered that in that scene before, he was on a big bed with Merry.

Coincidentally, the moment Arcueid turned her head, a large bed came into her view, with a woman named Meryl, who looked completely drained of energy, lying half-covered on the bed.

And near the head of the bed...

"Glug~~~~"

Looking at Natsukawa Tora, who was about twelve years old and exuded a strong magical aura, Arcueid subconsciously swallowed.

[Delicious], [Tasty], [Smells delicious], [I want to devour his magic]... Such thoughts began to flash through Arcueid's mind, as if Natsukawa Torato in front of her was a delicious dish specially prepared for her.

"Ugh... Tiger..."

"Hey, are you awake?"

Turning to look at Arcueid, who had involuntarily come to the bedside, and after thinking about Meryl's instructions, Natsukawa Tora reached out and pulled Arcueid onto the bed, then kissed her lips.

boom------!

In an instant, like a volcanic eruption, magical power flowed from Natsukawa Torato's body into Arcueid's body through the point where the two were in contact, filling the huge hole in her heart.

Instinctively, Arcueid grabbed Natsukawa Tora's arm and pressed him down little by little.

"Give me more, Tiger, give me more magic..."

"Yes, they're all yours."

69. I'll be right back.

Natsukawa Tora stayed in Avalon for two days.

No, it should be said that in terms of the external flow of time, it was two days, but in reality, because Meryl set up a barrier that changed the flow of time, it was ten days later before Natsukawa Tora was completely restored to his original state.

"Mmm.....Hmm~~~~~"

On a huge bed in Avalon that could take up most of the space, Natsukawa Tiger stretched and yawned, feeling the strength that had been fully restored within him, and then exhaled forcefully.

"Phew, I'm finally back to normal."

In ten days, without the enhancement of the Holy Grail's power, Natsukawa Tora finally regained his original appearance and power thanks to the magic power he received from others.

Actually, he could have recovered three days ago, but because he had to feed Arcueid, who was a huge user of magic, Natsukawa Tora gave her all the magic he had accumulated in the early stages, so he had to start accumulating magic from scratch again.

However, some people had to rest for a while due to physical exhaustion.

"Well, they really have worked hard."

Looking at the others lying on the bed, Natsukawa Tora also felt that it was a bit too outrageous.

At first, as Aozaki Aoko said, in order to avoid trouble in various ways, Natsukawa Tora separated multiple rooms for individual magic replenishment. However, without realizing it, the people who were originally scattered in various rooms gathered together again.

As Sajou Rei said, even if everyone's order and schedule are set at the beginning, everything will definitely fall apart in the end.

Back when we lived in Camelot, Meryl's frequent snacking caused my time management to fall apart countless times.

It's the same this time.

Lying next to Natsukawa Tora, as one of the few people still awake, Aozaki Aoko rolled her eyes at her little man: "You know how hard it is... I lost consciousness several times, and only Touko and Rei were able to stay with you until the end."

As she said this, Aozaki Aoko kicked her older sister, who was clinging to her waist. Under the encouragement of Meryl and due to her own certain fetish, this Grand Doll Master had completely devoured her student, who had turned into a young boy, leaving not a single scrap of food behind.

"I think we should send her to prison after this, so she won't ruin the Aozaki family's reputation everywhere."

Hearing Aozaki Aoko's words of sacrificing family for the greater good, Natsukawa Torato couldn't help but smile: "Then I think everyone here should go in and accompany her, especially you, Aoko."

"Hmm... Well, you little brat, you hit my target right there!"

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't kick me!"

Natsukawa Tora quickly pressed down on Aozaki Aoko's two long, white legs.

Meanwhile, Sajou Rei sat up and said, "Master, Aoko, please keep your voices down. Ayaka has only been asleep for a short while."

Touching her sister's hair, who was resting on her lap, Sajou Rei looked at Natsukawa Torato and said, "Now we sisters all belong to Master, as do Aoko and Touko... Master, you really have a lot of sins."

"Yes, yes, it's my fault, I was too greedy." Natsukawa Tora said as he leaned over and kissed Rei's forehead.

Watching the man's practiced movements, Aozaki Aoko couldn't help but feel nostalgic for when they first met—how could such a good boy have turned out like this?

(This nightmare is to blame.)

Glancing at Meryl at her feet, Aozaki Aoko lightly stomped on her face a few times.

So, ...

Aozaki Aoko continued to look around at the sleeping figures.

(Arquette, Lia, Mordred, Lydel, Ciel... I remember that one over there is the current monarch of the Astronomical Department, right? Atalanta, Souji, Angelica... Jeanne Alter is there too, which means Gray is there too... I guess I still have to kick that succubus a few more times.)

Over the past ten days, these people who had some improper thoughts about Xia Chuanhu, under the instigation of Mei Li, driven by the current situation, and propelled by the atmosphere, have one by one taken down this passive man.

That's how Natsukawa Tora is. If the woman doesn't take the initiative, he'll never do it, no matter what. But if she does, he'll accept her immediately.

It's like a candle that won't light unless you light it, and an abacus that only moves when you nudge it.

The only one who made him hesitate was Grey. After all, Grey was a child that Natsukawa Tora had watched grow up, and the bond between them was arguably the deepest besides that of Merry; it was far more than just a simple brother-sister relationship.

In the end, the thin-skinned Jeanne d'Arc Alter couldn't stand it anymore and transformed into a self-destructing truck, taking Gray and Natsukawa Tora down with her.

Thinking of this, Aozaki Aoko kicked Natsukawa Torato in the back again: "This really caused a big commotion... So, just like you said before, you're going to take responsibility for all of us?"

"Well, otherwise it would be unfair to you, wouldn't it?" Natsukawa Tora chuckled. "However, regarding the Lydia family, for some reasons, she is still officially ranked first, so..."

"Nobody cares about that. If we were to rank them, she would be at the bottom of the list, having been knocked to the ground by you in no time."

“Then I’m number one,” Sajou Rei said with a smile.

Aozaki Aoko gritted her teeth: "You, a mere puppet, have the nerve to say that? You and Touko are completely outside the scope. They're a different story. Professional players are prohibited from participating."

"What does it matter? Besides, there's no point in us arguing about order. In the master's eyes, we're all the same, aren't we?"

Sajou Rei looked at Natsukawa Torato: "It's almost time, Master. Tiamat should be arriving in Uruk soon."

Natsukawa Tora nodded: "I know... Although I wanted to tell everyone before I left, it seems that won't work."

"It will be the same after everything is over; we will all be here waiting for our master to return."

“I’d like to go with you… tsk, I’m still really sore.” Aozaki Aoko frowned.

Patting her hair, Natsukawa Tora said, "Don't push yourself. There's no shortage of fighting power over there. If you really want to join me, wait until we deal with Goetia later."

Endgame Singularity, Grand Temple of Time, Solomon.

The enemy she will face then will be the entirety of the seventy-two demon gods. To break through that number, a combat prowess like that of Aozaki Aoko, who excels in firepower, is absolutely necessary. That is her stage.

Let's get some rest first.

"Then I'll leave the matter of the singularity to you. I'm going to take a nap."

"Okay, get a good night's sleep."

After kissing Aozaki Aoko's hair, Natsukawa Torama got off the bed, changed his clothes using the Self-Transformation technique, and looked at Arcueid—because she had been infused with a large amount of magic, she was currently in a state of being too full and sleepy.

"Phew... I'll leave things here to you, Lingyi. I'll be right back once I've taken care of things over there."

"Yes, have a safe journey, master."

70. Goodbye, Mother, and our young past.

The world's surface.

On the walls of Uruk.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang!"

The Divine Seal was continuously firing its Noble Phantasms, repeatedly shooting down the flying Rahm.

Without the restraint of Xia Chuanhu and others, Tiamat, now free, unleashed the Sea of ​​Life once more. In just two days, the dark tide of chaos had already submerged countless lands, and from that tide of chaos, hundreds of millions of Rahm swarms flew out endlessly, like siege weapons, smashing their bodies towards Uruk.

If it weren't for the protective barrier erected by Morgan that safeguarded the entire city of Uruk, Uruk would probably have suffered heavy casualties by now.

Besides the barrier, the Servants who stayed in Uruk, as well as Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, also joined the fight against Rahm. However, facing Rahm, whose individual strength surpasses that of Ugal and who has now evolved abilities such as flight and high-speed regeneration, even the Servants found it difficult to cope.

Only Quetzal, Ishtar, Kingu, and Oda Nobunaga could successfully deal with the Lahm group.

Therefore, over the past two days, Uruk has been organizing one confrontation after another against Rahm, centered around these four individuals.

That being said, as Tiamat continued to approach, the number of Rahm was already too great to be completely eliminated. Outside Uruk's barrier, there were countless Rahm, so many that they even blocked out the sky, preventing any sunlight from shining down. Day and night had completely lost their meaning, and it was impossible to distinguish between them.

In essence, Uruk is now like an isolated island in a storm.

"Is there about two hours left on the journey?"

At the top of the tower, gazing at Tiamat slowly making her way towards Uruk surrounded by endless Rahm, Gilgamesh sighed softly: "So it has come to this after all. No... I should say, it actually came to this."

In the future that Gilgamesh saw through his clairvoyance six months ago, Uruk had already been destroyed, and he was the only survivor.

That was a hopeless future.
