I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

There's a line in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure that goes like this—

The German army, through their greedy methods, brought the most advanced science, astrology, magic, alchemy, superpowers, and supernatural phenomena of the time into the war—essentially mobilizing the world's wisdom to declare war on the entire world!

This statement was made by the German magician Louis Schmidt.

It is absolutely true!

The books in his home clearly told him that Germany at that time was even more insane than depicted in JOJO!

Most magicians in Germany joined the battle—there were exceptions, of course, such as the Einzbern family... but—even the Einzbern family, in order to preserve their family's heritage, had to surrender their proud alchemy, homunculus creation technology, and so on under the iron heel of the German army!

So... even though their family had fallen on hard times.

Even if they were cursed and their family line dwindled, it wouldn't be impossible for them to die out in his generation.

but!

His old house still contains a vast amount of wealth plundered from all over the world at that time!

Of course, this doesn't refer to things like gold or money.

Instead—Mystic Code!

boom----!!

The underground door opened, and Louis Schmidt snapped his fingers.

next moment--

A fire was lit in the dimly lit room.

Flames burning on the surrounding walls illuminated the entire space!

This warehouse was built at the end of the war to withstand large-scale magic and nuclear bombs.

The walls around him were covered with numerous magical barriers, containing all of his family's wealth! This allowed him to avoid any trouble, only occasionally taking out magical artifacts that he himself didn't even want to sell.

That's enough for him to squander for a year.

Inside, there were many heads.

Those heads are still alive! They're still alive even now, and the demonic eyes in their pupils are still usable!

All around, various magical costumes were piled up haphazardly on the ground.

There are even weapons made from the fur and claws of fantasy creatures.

At the same time, there were also a large number of military supplies and weapons used in that era.

"That would be better."

Around the summoning circle for the Holy Grail was ten heads, all of them Mystic Eyes. They were all Mystic Eyes of the "Noble Color" level, and he needed to use them for this ritual.

The torn pages of the magic book exuded a strong otherworldly aura. Knowledge of the otherworldly realm was a key focus of the German army's research.

They don't just want to control this world, they even want to get their hands on other worlds!

It's fair to say that even now, he can only describe that group as "crazy."

but--

These things shouldn't exist in this world... but what about other worlds?

A place that doesn't belong to this planet, or even to this universe... Visitors from another world.

These things existed in the past.

but--

The one he summoned this time was just a little special.

The grand ceremony they prepared wasn't meant to summon some otherworldly deity, but rather...

Characters in comics—

Dio Brando.

He wanted to try and see if he could summon this villain's savior!

Although the probability is very low, it is not entirely impossible.

He prepared a coffin with the word "DIO" printed on it, along with a head, a stone mask prop, and the headless body of a Dead Apostle.

I've prepared the information for the other world, but if I still fail... then it means that it's completely impossible to summon it.

He... is really looking forward to it.

What came out?

The existence of another world?

Dio Brando?

Or some other heroic spirit?

Or perhaps... the summoning failed due to an unexpected incident caused by the intervention of the Counter Force?

If we could summon DIO, we could solve that mystery... which is why Dio didn't leave Egypt in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?

What exactly is his intention in staying in Egypt?

This matter was briefly mentioned in the third part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, but not fully explained.

It was just said that he was there doing something, planning something...

We don't know the specifics yet; perhaps they'll be revealed later, but it's better to wait and see...

Let him reveal it himself now!

With this Holy Grail War—!

......

"Which Heroic Spirit should I summon?" Kurokawa Kazuya asked, looking at the relic in front of him.

He secretly purchased these items at auctions in London, disguised as an agent.

The Holy Grail War is about to begin, and some people are preparing to use these things that have little magical value and are only useful as relics...

A fragment of a round table, a slate from Olympus.

So far, he has only acquired these two artifacts.

Summon yourself like you did last time... Once is enough, there's no need for a second time.

The main problem is that the ability is too restrictive.

I only have five Command Seals, but there are fourteen Servants in this Holy Grail War... It's not something that can be dealt with by just five Command Seals.

Even if you summon all the local Heroic Spirits, you only have a maximum of five chances.

and so--

He plans to summon a powerful Heroic Spirit to participate in this Holy Grail War, but he is still worried about which one to use and hasn't decided yet.

In addition, I can't stay in London all the time.

Therefore, the amount of things that can be purchased is limited.

This item cannot be purchased through certain channels. For example, you can't actually buy it from the Clock Tower yourself, nor can you ask someone from the Liangyi family to buy it for you...

Because doing so would be tantamount to revealing one thing—Kurokawa Kazuya possesses Command Seals.

That would be terrible.

Suddenly, Kurokawa Kazuya's eyes lit up slightly: "Speaking of relics... that one is still the best."

Avalon.

An invincible defense, as long as you use that to summon King Arthur.

Whether it's Saber, Lancer, or anything else...

She already possesses formidable combat power, and the Holy Sword Excalibur is a Noble Phantasm whose power increases with the number of restrictions it unlocks...

In addition, Avalon provides protection and healing abilities...

She undoubtedly deserves a place among the top-tier Heroic Spirits.

Especially Avalon, whose true power has always been a mystery to Kurokawa and Miya... mainly because it has been shown too little.

Despite limited appearances, he performed admirably and even blocked EA's path.

This gives one a feeling of being unable to estimate... We have absolutely no idea what can break Avalon, or what can't be broken. There is no such thing as invincibility in this world. Something that can break or bypass Avalon should exist, but—we don't know what it is!

If it's just bragging, maybe you can boast about how something can break Avalon.

But—what if you actually encounter it? Who dares to say they can break through it?

But—to be honest, Kurokawa Kazuya didn't want to summon this Heroic Spirit...because...it's appeared too many times. And he knows it very well...he wanted to summon a more novel Heroic Spirit.

After all, his goal from the beginning wasn't the outcome of the Holy Grail War, but something interesting!

"Well then, Miss Aozaki has arrived."

"Aozaki?" Kurokawa Kazuya's eyes lit up slightly. They had finally arrived!

Chapter 209 New Goods

"Hi~~ How have you been lately?" Aozaki Touko opened the door, carrying her suitcase in one hand and waving with a smile in the other.

She has changed somewhat since the last time I saw her.

But I can't quite put my finger on what's wrong.

Her temperament, image, and overall demeanor have all changed.

His hair was also dyed orange, an image he had never seen before... he was almost unrecognizable.

"I've been doing alright lately, mostly busy with anime and manga." Kurokawa Kazuya stood up, pointed to a chair beside him, and said as he walked over, "Want some more coffee?"

“That’s right, coffee.” Aozaki Touko sat down in a chair and put her suitcase down beside her.
