In Britain, the Noble Phantasm: Divine Key

Kama cried and poured out his heart, and although he felt very wronged, it was strangely... comical.

“Perhaps you’re right. You have indeed endured a lot of unreasonable condemnation and punishment, and accumulated a lot of hatred and anger.” Yanan nodded calmly, his gaze suddenly becoming as sharp as a sword. “But none of these are reasons for you to inflict violence on the weak. What you offer is not love, but absolute power and control. You simply want to inflict the oppression you once had on innocent mortals!”

As if intimidated by Anan's imposing presence, Kama was speechless for a moment. However, she was clearly unwilling to accept this. She wiped away her tears and sneered, "Hmph, anyone can say sarcastic things. How could someone like you, standing on the shore, possibly understand the pain of someone like me who is drowning?"

Anan closed his eyes slightly, no longer intending to argue with Kama. Clearly, the latter had completely lost his way and was beyond redemption.

Ultimately, arguing with [beasts] is pointless; their way of thinking has long since deviated from the realm of normal humans.

Negotiations failed; prepare for battle.

The raging flames spread along the gilded sword, like flowing lava, and the surrounding temperature instantly rose sharply. The ground beneath Anan's feet cracked, and this was the result of him consolidating the power of destruction.

He did this not for some ridiculous reason like protecting the environment. Just like a compressed spring, the more it is compressed, the more terrifying its power will be when it bursts forth.

Feeling the chilling killing intent carried within the sweltering heat, Kama couldn't help but shiver and scream, "You can't kill me!"

Anan remained silent, his gaze fixed coldly on Kama. At this point, he couldn't think of a reason to stop.

"If you kill me, she'll die too!"

Kama casually flicked her wrist, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of her.

Looking at the blood-red armor that exuded a chilling killing intent and the hideous demon helmet, Yanan frowned slightly.

Mordred...

He suddenly remembered that when they were pulled into the universe of love, he, Hercules, and Mordred were all trapped in the illusion created by Kama. However, he and Hercules managed to escape, but Mordred did not wake up.

All beings who fall into the realm of Kama's love will ultimately suffer only one fate—losing all reason and will, becoming her slaves and tools.

Looking at Mordred, who remained motionless like a statue, Anan's expression was slightly complicated, and he let out a long sigh.

However, he could indeed understand how incredibly attractive Kama's realm of love was to a child who had lacked love since childhood.

He even felt that Mordred might have realized he was in a hallucination, but was still willing to remain in it and not wake up.

Ultimately, this is the reason she has persevered from faraway Britain to the present day.

Noticing Anan's expression, Kama was overjoyed and quickly said, "As long as you let me leave this world, I can immediately release my control over this girl!"

Seemingly feeling that such a bargaining chip was not enough, she added, "I can also transfer control to you. Now she has been infiltrated by my authority, and even the restraint cannot interfere with her. You can keep her by your side for as long as you want, and I guarantee that she will be absolutely obedient to you and will never resist in any way."

From what has happened before, it is clear to anyone that Anann is taking care of Mordred. Although no one knows why, at this moment it has become the only way for Kama to save himself.

She didn't even dare to use Mordred to blackmail Yanan, and only dared to propose a more moderate offer.

Joan of Arc watched Anaël's retreating figure with worry, as if she wanted to say something, but didn't know how to begin.

“No need,” Yanan said calmly. “Since she has chosen to have a good dream, I don’t want to disturb her. Perhaps it’s a good thing for her to have the opportunity to have such a beautiful dream.”

"What? Wait..."

Before Kama could finish speaking, Anan had already raised the Heavenly Fire Annihilation in his hand and swung it forward expressionlessly. The blazing flames surged forward like flowing lava, instantly engulfing Mordred and Kama's figures.

......

The blood-red setting sun shone on the wide open-air balcony, and Mordred, who had been officially granted the title of Crown Prince, suddenly shuddered.

"What's wrong? Mordred, what happened?"

A gentle voice came from beside him. Mordred turned his head, looked at the gentle smile on the face he had once so longed for, and after a moment of silence, gently shook his head:

"It's nothing, I was just a little distracted just now."

Upon hearing this, the secretary behind him, Agukwen, looked even more gloomy.

Gao Wen and the others exchanged glances and could only shake their heads with helpless smiles.

Mordred is probably the only one in the world who would dare to daydream while the king is explaining the way of being a king.

"It's alright. What I just said was just some ways to deal with nobles and commoners on a daily basis. It's okay if you can't remember them. As you gain more experience, you'll naturally know what to do." The king, who always valued efficiency, showed unprecedented patience and tolerance this time. The smile in his holy blue eyes was like the sky reflected on a clear lake, warm and bright.

"As a king, there is really only one thing you need to do."

She turned to look at the bustling city before her, her voice ethereal as if it came from another time and space:

"Give it your all to protect the people of this country."

Mordred gazed at the fiery clouds, like boiling flames, that were steadily approaching from the distant horizon. After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly and said:

"Yes, Father."

......

The beast was wiped out.

Under the terrifying heat comparable to the surface of the sun, the Third Beast, having lost most of its power, completely vanished.

Although she behaved rather undignifiedly at the last moment, Joan of Arc couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as she watched this terrible enemy being destroyed.

"Thanks to you all this time."

Upon hearing Anaïs's words, Joan of Arc paused, then waved her hands somewhat helplessly:

"That actually has nothing to do with me. It's all thanks to Mr. Amakusa. He's the real hero."

Anan turned to look at Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who smiled and shook his head.

"There's no need to talk about being a meritorious official. With my level of awareness, I'm not worthy of Her Majesty's praise. In the end, I'm just seeking revenge."

He paused, then his expression suddenly became slightly serious:

"Moreover, I think this matter may not be over yet."

"Oh? What does that mean?" Yanan raised an eyebrow slightly. He was absolutely certain that Kamo had been destroyed.

However, judging from Amakusa Shiro Tokisada's appearance, it seems that there are other dangers that have not yet been exposed.

“Archer’s Master,” Amakusa Shiro Tokisada said with a serious expression, “I always have a feeling that I can’t see through that woman when I deal with her, and it seems that she knew Archer’s true identity from the very beginning.”

A woman who uses a [beast] as a Servant? Anan frowned slightly: "What's her name?"

"Sesshouin Kihara".

Chapter Sixty-Five: The Third Beast—The Demonic Bodhisattva (5.5k)

Sesshouin Kiara!?

Yanan's head suddenly exploded, and his pupils contracted sharply.

Kama's Master is actually Sesshouin Kiara?

What kind of magical turn of events is this?!

"hehe."

A soft laugh drifted in with the gentle breeze, soft and alluring, like a nimble hand teasing the deepest desires of the heart, making one's bones soften.

A slender figure gracefully approached from a distance. She was tall and beautiful, with a face that exuded a compassionate and merciful aura, like a Bodhisattva saving people from suffering. However, her fiery and alluring figure, which even the loose nun's habit could not conceal, was so captivating. Especially when she moved, the glimpses of spring inadvertently revealed through the high slit of her dress acted like a magnet, firmly attracting everyone's attention, making their hearts race, their faces flush, and their breathing quicken.

This nun seemed to possess a bewitching charm; regardless of gender, anyone who saw her for the first time would be irresistibly drawn to her, to her, and to dedicate everything to her.

Even Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who had met her many times before, couldn't help but have a fleeting moment of infatuation in his eyes. However, his strong will made him quickly regain his senses, and he subconsciously took a step back, his eyes filled with apprehension and solemnity as he looked at the nun.

This woman is indeed extraordinary!

"Be careful, she is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yanan interrupted him.

“I know, Sesshouin Kiara.” He looked calmly at the slender figure that exuded a demonic charm. “Or should I call you the Third Beast—[Demon Bodhisattva]?”

The third beast—the demonic bodhisattva?

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada and Joan of Arc both shuddered, their pupils suddenly contracted, and a great sense of horror welled up inside them.

They naturally had no doubt about Yanan's statement. From the moment they met until now, this King Arthur from another world had acted with utmost reliability. Since he could be so certain that this nun was another third beast, the truth was probably pretty much true.

A Holy Grail War has somehow involved two [beasts]. What is this? Is it the end of the world?

Just as the two Rulers were lost in their own thoughts, Sesshouin Kiara stopped and stood several dozen meters away, looking at Anan with great interest. A hint of brilliance flashed in her beautiful, pale golden eyes, adding to her alluring charm.

However, Yanan was not buying it at all. He had already locked away his desires with the Feather Dust, and Sesshouin Kiara's charm had no effect on him whatsoever.

He was extremely wary of this "demon bodhisattva" who held a pivotal position in the Type-Moon universe. Although they were both third beasts, in terms of skill and charisma, ten Kama combined wouldn't be enough to defeat Sesshouin Kiara.

This great deity is currently the closest being to becoming an enlightened being, as can be seen from the fact that her name contains the word "Bodhisattva".

Bodhisattvas are the masters of power and scale in the universe, and can even create things in the solar system with ease. Although Sesshouin Kiara's life form has not yet reached that level, it should not be underestimated.

“How strange,” Sesshouin Kiara said, her tone melodious and her voice magnetic, just like her appearance and figure, exuding an irresistible allure.

Without a doubt, she was a perfect woman. Her figure and appearance, her voice and her movements, even her casual gestures were full of allure. Her simple nun's clothes could not hide her charm at all; on the contrary, they added a touch of contrast, making people even more eager to get their hands on her.

She embodies all of a man's fantasies about the opposite sex: purity, allure, sanctity, depravity... These contradictory characteristics are perfectly unified in her, making it hard to imagine that such a woman could be born into the world.

“I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen you before. This should be our first meeting. Not only did you see through my identity right away, but you’re also so wary of me.” Sesshouin Kiara tilted her head. Generally speaking, it would feel very awkward for a mature older woman to make such a childish gesture, but it seemed perfectly natural on her. “Can you tell me why? You just killed a beast. Even if I am a beast, it shouldn’t cause such a big reaction for you.”

“Then you really underestimate yourself.” Yanan said calmly, “To be able to create abilities like the Five Stops of Mind and the Myriad Colors of Ease with the body of a mere mortal, and even to transform into a demon and evolve a terrifying treasure like [All Desire at This Moment], becoming a [Beast] that threatens human reason, throughout history, there are probably no more than one person who can achieve what you have.”

From mortal to beast?

Amakusa Shiro Tokisada and Jeanne d'Arc exchanged a glance, both seeing obvious surprise in each other's eyes. The origins of [Beasts] are mostly mysterious, but their backgrounds are all quite extraordinary. [Beasts] transformed from mortals... even they were hearing about this for the first time.

What kind of power does this mysterious woman named Sesshouin Kiara possess that makes her a great threat to humanity, and how did she gradually become the way she is today?

What exactly is the origin of this demonic bodhisattva?

“Interesting.” Sesshouin Kihara’s full, sensual lips curved slightly, his eyes shining even brighter. “It was worth it for me to show myself to you. You are indeed a very interesting man.”

"Kama's participation in the Holy Grail War this time must have involved your guidance, right?" Anahn's eyes narrowed slightly. "But I'm curious, given your positions and Kama's supposed to be mortal enemies, how did you manage to completely deceive her?"

Don't assume that Kama and Sesshouin Kiara are close just because they are both Third Beasts. In fact, they each only represent a part of the Third Beast. Only when the two are combined can the complete Third Beast be born.

Therefore, the two of them are the real mortal enemies.

"You mean this? Well, it's nothing really. I just gave her a chance." Sesshouin Kiara smiled. "She's always wanted to devour me to become the true Third Beast, and then seek revenge on the gods who caused her to be burned to death. So I just gave her this chance. As long as she can successfully absorb the magic power from the Greater Grail, then defeating me will be a piece of cake."

"The result is that she died, while you are still alive and well," Yanan said coldly.

"How can you say it's my fault? I only gave her some ideas and helped her get into the Holy Grail War. I didn't do anything else," Sesshouin Kiara said aggrievedly.

Anan remained silent; it would be truly insane for him to believe Sesshouin Kiara's words.

This woman once instigated a power struggle within the entire cult, leading all believers to kill each other to extinction!
