To become a king and a magician

A holy sword forged from a planet.

The starlight that will save the world, the golden blade that will vanquish all evil.

This time, in the actual situation where it was needed, it unleashed its most dazzling brilliance!

——————————————————————————————————————

Temple of Time, the Edge.

The Chaldea group, who were engaged in a continuous battle with the endlessly regenerating Demon Pillars, were all drawn to the light that shot into the sky from the depths of the Temple of Time.

The same applies to the Demon Pillars.

"That light was..."

"It's the minister's holy sword!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka exclaimed in surprise.

Undoubtedly, it was the light of the Holy Sword that she had witnessed twice within the Seventh Singularity, and this time the light was even more dazzling than those two times!

The appearance of this light indicates...

"It's almost over."

"Meli, who was fighting the demon Barbatos in the control tower area, gazed at the light and whispered."

Her clairvoyance allows her to see what is happening in the heart of the region.

Protected by Avalon, Aozaki Aoko focused on dismantling the light bands, while Natsukawa Torato, having unleashed the Holy Sword, completely annihilated Goetia's body. Although Goetia would not die, this decisive blow allowed the power of the Mystic Eye to be unleashed without hindrance.

"In this way, the First Beast will also become the master's aid, and the entire [Seventy-two Demon Gods] will also become the master's summoning force."

With Merry, Sajou Rei laughed, "Summoning magic has evolved to a new level. After inheriting the power of King Arthur, Master is now preparing to inherit the power of Solomon as well."

“Who knows?” Meli gave a wry smile. “My clairvoyance can’t see the future. Perhaps King Gilgamesh and Solomon can, but I think even they, in terms of this future…”

Who could have imagined that the stranger who arrived twenty years ago, weak and helpless, would reach such a high level today?

The Star Sword that will save the world—Excalibur.

The magic formula for effectively utilizing everything – Humanistic Refinement Style: Goetia.

Having combined these two powers, what kind of field will he continue to explore in the future?

Mary was quite curious about this.

"I really feel like I can't live without him anymore. Could it be that my decision to come here to take care of him twenty years ago was actually a terrible mistake?"

“But now you feel like you’ve hit the jackpot, right?” Sajou Rei said. “After all, Master… the Prince has been satisfying you until now, and will continue to do so in the future.”

"That's true."

14. The man who entered the source twice

source.

The cause of everything. The existence from which all phenomena flow. The truth of the world. Ultimate knowledge. The Akasha Record.

In the world of magic, it has many names, but how to reach the source is the only research topic for all magicians. No matter what kind of magic or research it is, the ultimate goal is to enable magicians to obtain a way to reach the source.

Now, twenty years later, Natsukawa Tora has returned to this place.

It felt like plunging into an endless deep sea, or leaping from a great height; one second you were experiencing the ups and downs of a roller coaster, and the next you were instantly switched to the slow, leisurely feeling of rowing a boat on a lake...

When he came to his senses, he was already standing in the midst of a flurry of snowflakes.

"welcome."

Gengen-shiki looked at Natsukawa Torata with a smile.

"You've come here again, Natsukawa-kun."

"Does this mean I come here every time I defeat a beast?" Natsukawa Torama shrugged. "In that case, I didn't come during the Seventh Singularity."

Genyuan smiled and said, "No, I brought you here on my own initiative this time because there are some things I need to explain to you. After all, I can only stay here until the incineration of humanity is over."

Since Guanbuzi City has been burned down, and there are no traces of Roots in Chaldea or Avalonne, this is indeed the only place she could be.

"So, what is it you want to tell me?"

"First, regarding the burning of humanity—congratulations, Natsukawa-kun, you've won."

He clapped his hands and laughed, revealing his roots.

"Your demonic eye has completely corrupted the soul of the First Beast. From now on, the ownership of the magic style [Human Reason Cultivation Style] created by Solomon and the most powerful summoning style in human history [Seventy-two Demon Gods] will be entirely handed over to you."

“If you take the Ten Commandments with you, you may call yourself King Solomon.”

The fully unleashed Holy Sword destroyed Goetia's body, and the Soul-Eating Demon Eye completely corrupted Goetia's soul. As a result, all seventy-two demon gods who were part of the same whole became the possessions of Natsukawa Torato.

As a result, nine of the Ten Commandments that God had given to Solomon and that Goetia wore fell into Natsukawa Torato's hands. Together with the last ring that he had taken from Roman ten years ago, all ten commandments were now in Natsukawa Torato's possession.

After thinking for a while, Natsukawa Tora shook his head: "Forget it, I have no interest in Solomon's power. I will return the ring to Roman later. Since the burning of humanity has ended, there is no use for me to keep it."

The reason Natsukawa Tora stole the ring was to prevent Roman from using the first Noble Phantasm, but now it should indeed be returned to him.

The same applies to Goetia and the Seventy-Two Demon Gods. Although the erosion of the soul is irreversible, Goetia and the Seventy-Two Demon Gods are magical beings. Therefore, as long as they are modified, the transfer of control over them can be accomplished.

Chaldea has several magicians whose intelligence far surpasses that of humans, not to mention Solomon himself. Modifying one or two magic formulas will only take some time.

“Is that so? I understand. If that’s your idea, I respect it,” Root said. “Then there’s the second thing, which is more like an award.”

"Awarding of medals?"

"It can also be called [certification]. Since twenty years ago, Natsukawa-kun, you have successively defeated two fully-formed beasts, as well as the juvenile form of two beasts. Considering your Mystic Eyes and Holy Sword, the Root has already recognized you as an existence that can hold the qualifications of a Grand rank."

The Root explanation states: "Simply put, if you ascend to the Throne of Heroes in the future, you will directly become a candidate for the Grand Throne—that being said, this is not a particularly important matter for you. If you want to ascend to the Throne of Heroes, you may have to wait a thousand, ten thousand, or even tens of thousands of years."

The lifespan of elves is practically limitless; it's almost impossible for them to die a natural death. Even if they die, they will be resurrected. The only way for Natsukawa Torata to ascend to the Throne of Heroes is through suicide.

Therefore, the original crown certification is meaningless now; at most, it only provides him with a position that he will take up thousands or tens of thousands of years later.

"Then comes the third thing—about what happened after that."

"Human reason is frozen."

"Natsukawa Tiger whispered."

The burning of humanity is not the end of everything. After that, the Earth will be turned into a blank sheet of paper for unknown reasons.

Lostbelts, the Imaginary Tree, the alien god whose true form is the Seventh Beast... More threats will appear on Earth one by one, and there is still a lot to be done.

But what Genji said next stunned Natsukawa Tora.

"The freezing of human reason will not happen in the parallel world you are in now."

"Huh?"

It won't happen?

"For a certain future to occur, the conditions that would enable that future to exist and appear must be met in the present. However, in your world, several conditions necessary for the appearance of the future 'Humanity Freeze' have not been met," the Root Explanation stated.

"Therefore, you don't need to worry about the freeze on human order. For a long time to come, there will be no more major crises in your world."

"But there is still a major crisis."

Just as Natsukawa Tiger was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he couldn't hold back any longer when he heard Genji's additional sentence, and his expression completely collapsed.

Genyuan asked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"

After his eyebrows twitched several times, Natsukawa Tora rubbed his forehead: "No, it's just... you can joke too?"

"It was just a whim. I guess I've been awake for too long and inevitably gotten caught up in some worldly things," Genyuan said with a smile.

"Quite unexpected... But what is this 'minor crisis'? What kind of magical organization is trying to cause trouble? Or is another one of the Twenty-Seven Ancestors trying to jump out?"

Genyuan shook his head: "No, those can no longer be called crises for you. That's true. If we had to describe it in the most fitting way, it would be 'family matters'."

"Family?"

"There is one last person connected to you who needs your help to save. You, who have an incredibly close relationship with King Arthur, are the most suitable person to save her."

The last person who needs the [Star Sword Master] to save?

Xia Chuanhu was somewhat unable to understand the meaning of the Root Style, and just then, a feeling of weightlessness suddenly enveloped him.

"It seems the time has come."

Root Style, rising with Natsukawa Tora, raised his gaze: "For us, the next time we meet will be in the distant future... I hope that by then, you will still remember me."

"Wait, Shi, what do you mean by this?"

"Have a safe journey, Natsukawa-kun."

"Mode--"

15. The end of this life, the beginning of the next.

reality.

The center of the Temple of the Crowned Time.

The moment he opened his eyes, what came into Natsukawa Torato's view was Aozaki Aoko's face.

Good morning, did you have a good night's sleep?

"I didn't fall asleep, I just went to a place that's a little far away."

Natsukawa Torama sat up from Aozaki Aoko's lap pillow, rubbed his head, and at that moment, he felt something new inside him. Instinctively, he had the idea of ​​calling that thing out.

Then—

"Buzz~~~~"

The particles of light coalesced into a human shape in front of Natsukawa Tora.

"Solomon? No, no, you are... Goetia?"

"Exactly."

What appeared in Natsukawa Tora's eyes was a man who looked exactly like Solomon, but whose skin was whiter and whose hair was golden.

He was the one whose soul had been completely corrupted and transformed by the Soul-Eating Demon Eye, and who now belonged to Xia Chuanhu as the Human Reason Cultivator, Goetia.
