That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

Hall yawned: "Finished? If you're done, hand over the Holy Grail and go back to your king's side."

"Saber has really given me trouble. Hmph, that's enough. I have obtained the power of the Holy Grail. You can't possibly be my match. You will all be burned along with this era!"

Rumble~

Countless demonic pillars erupted from the soil, covering the vast, hollow dome and the ground, filling the entire space with an aura of evil.

"What are these?!" Olga Marie was horrified and kicked her legs, retreating repeatedly.

Rafe Lenore Floros stared intently at Hall: "Magician, you are the only one I will deal with personally. Honored, you mere human. Only you are the only one I truly consider a threat, affecting the execution of the plan!"

"Yeah."

Hall sensed that these demon pillars were different from the previous ones; each demon pillar was equivalent to a huge magic circuit, with immeasurable magical power flowing within it.

If they were to engage in battle, Hall would likely be burned to ashes within minutes.

"Is this the power of the Holy Grail?" Hall smiled mysteriously. "It's quite impressive, but Rafe Lenore Floros, don't forget, there isn't just one Holy Grail in this era."

"What's the meaning."

"Speaking of which, I should thank you. It was because of your plan to burn humanity that I was able to activate it."

The Holy Grail held by Black Saber was bestowed by the Demon God, and obtaining the Holy Grail also bound her by a contract.

In this era, there was already a war revolving around the Holy Grail.

The Great Hollow is the core of the Holy Grail War—the location of the Greater Grail.

Do we have the character for "harmony" now?

Upon inspection, I found a lot of stars that had been censored.

I don't know if it's in previous chapters.

I feel this will significantly impact reading.

I'd rather suggest censored text.

Some censored words forced me to revise the grammar, so if there are any awkward parts, it's most likely due to censorship issues.

Chapter 294 Demon God and Evil God

The Holy Grail is defined as a means or miracle that can grant wishes. There has never been just one, nor has there ever been only one kind. The number of "Holy Grails" registered by the Holy Church alone exceeds three digits. These days, all sorts of Tom, Dick, and Harry want to use the name of the Holy Grail to show off their status, which is why I am not interested in the so-called Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City.

However, both Holy Grails that disrupted this era and made it Singularity F are miracles worthy of the Holy Grail name.

One is the Holy Grail system that originally existed in Fuyuki City, the Greater Grail system built around the three starter families. It is activated by the vast magical power drawn from the ley lines and is itself a magical ritual to complete the Third Law.

The other is the Holy Grail created by the Demon God to distort human reason. This is the Holy Grail held by Black Saber, and its concept is more like the Lesser Grail, a crystallization formed by the compression of infinite magic power.

If Rafe Lenore Floros were to gain unlimited magic power, the situation would be overwhelmingly disadvantageous for Hall.

Hall had naturally considered a similar possibility; in the original story, Rafe Lenore Floros obtained the Holy Grail, killed Olga Marie, and left.

Based on this possibility, Hall found a solution.

Fuyuki City's Great Grail System.

For unknown reasons, the Greater Grail system of this world has also been corrupted by the evil of this world, turning the vast magical power that would take magicians all over the world hundreds of years to use into an ambiguous curse targeting humanity.

Although Hall was immune to the effects of the curse, he was unable to control the massive Ambiguous Curse.

This world is hosting the Holy Grail War for the first time. The Holy Grail War mechanism is relatively complete. There is no Minor Grail. After a Servant leaves the battlefield, their soul is directly collected by the Greater Grail. Furthermore, because it has become Singularity F, the Greater Grail system that exists in Fuyuki City has become a half-finished product that has lost its function.

If anything, it would be similar to the Third Holy Grail War, and most likely end inconclusively.

After coming into contact with the Greater Grail system of this world, Hall has been trying to make it work for him. However, due to the subtle differences in the Greater Grail system of the parallel world and the time limit, he has been unable to do so and can only settle for waiting for the ritual to end.

The Greater Grail system absorbed enough Servant souls, but could not be activated because there was no winner in the Holy Grail War.

Hall is not a Master recognized by the Greater Grail System and has no right to make wishes. The solution is to bypass the restrictions of the Greater Grail System and directly complete the contract with the contents.

The evil of this world readily agreed, and the Greater Grail system was the womb that conceived it. Now that it has taken shape, it only lacks the opportunity to descend, which can be said to be in perfect harmony with Hall's ideas.

At this time, Rafe Lenore Floros appeared, wanting to destroy this era and burn away humanity. His actions were tantamount to annihilating the evil of this world itself, which was not permitted by human evil and not accepted by human love.

The cause and effect are established: the desire of evil in this world to be born gives direction to the corrupted magic, sweeping away all obstacles that threaten its birth.

As the contractor of the evil of this world, Hall's decision to eliminate Rafe Lenore Floros in accordance with its direction is, in a sense, no different from obtaining the Holy Grail.

Using others to do the dirty work, using the evil of this world to deal with the demon god, and using the Greater Grail system to deal with the Holy Grail—this is the essence of Hall's plan to deal with Rafe Lenore Floros.

"What is that! A curse!?"

Olga Marie stood on the high platform, her shoulders trembling, barely daring to breathe, staring at the black mud rising from the ground. She could feel the intense curse contained within the black mud.

Despair, hatred, anger, malice, jealousy—it seems to be a collection of all negative human emotions, a collection of all malice. A single drop of black mud containing a curse can kill a magician.

"Mash! Take Ritsuka away quickly! Whatever you do, don't let her touch that black mud!"

The unconscious Fujimaru Ritsuka's bracelet projected Dr. Roman's image, urgently giving instructions.

Mash, who had regained some of her magic, nodded, quickly ran to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, hugged her body, and retreated swiftly away from the area shrouded in black mud.

"Doctor, what is that black liquid? It has a very bad feeling about it," Mashu asked, frowning.

Dr. Roman shook his head solemnly: "I don't know. The analysis results show that they are similar to Servants, but the components that make them up are human malice, a curse that kills humans. Saber's transformation was probably also due to the influence of this black mud. It can be said to be something like the natural enemy of Servants."

"What does that magician want to do?"

"His body is undergoing a huge transformation. According to the records here... he seems to have become a Servant? Something's not right. Could it be that he has mastered the Third Law?!" Dr. Roman was stunned.

Glug~ Glug~ Glug glug~

The black mud spread to Hall's ankles, turning the light green patterns on his skin red, and then covered his skin with dense, bright red blood patterns. Afterward, countless incantations covered Hall's skin, making him look like a demon from hell, ferocious and eerie.

"They actually took the initiative to come into contact with a malicious curse."

"As a human magician, it's impossible for him not to know what's corrupting the Greater Grail system."

"Has your mind gone mad?"

Rafe Lenore Floros stared at Hall, letting out a silent sneer. He was also a skilled human magician and understood what was happening.

A moment later, Hall's body emitted a strange aura.

Rafe Lenore Floros's pupils contracted sharply. He was designed merely as a tool, yet his body trembled as one of the seventy-two demonic pillars.

"What's going on! Why would mere humans change their own standards?"

The demonic pillar that coiled around the great void stared at Hall, its eyes trembling, and its incineration technique failed to even remove the curse surrounding Hall's body.

"What, are you scared?" Hall opened his eyes, his left eye was crimson and his right eye was iridescent, his gaze cold and calm.

This wasn't the first time Hall had created a pseudo-spirit origin; by reverse-analyzing the evil of this world, he simulated Angora Manueli, the legendary chief of evil gods.

"This is!" Dr. Roman's projection suddenly stood up, exclaiming in shock, "How could such a strange thing happen! The aura of a god! How could a human soul possibly withstand the power of a god!"

Rafe Lenore Floros also noticed the anomaly in Hall. Its status was no different from that of a god from the Age of Gods. Even if such a being held the Holy Grail, it would be no match for it. His face gradually twisted, and he lost his mockery and contempt for humans. He was convinced that the being in front of him had become an obstacle to their plans.

"Unable to parse, unintelligible."

"We have to admit that your existence has made it impossible for us to stand idly by."

"You will be the greatest obstacle to our great cause."

The power of the Holy Grail reacted within Rafe Lenore Floros, twisting his human body into a gigantic pillar of flesh and blood.

"This reaction! It's not a Servant! It's not a Phantasmal! It's a real demon from legend! Why would something like this appear in modern times?" Dr. Roman exclaimed.

"That's right, we are the King's favorites. Let me reintroduce myself: I am one of the seventy-two demon gods, Lev Lenor Flauros!" A deep, hoarse voice came from the demon god pillar. The demon god pillar that was wrapped around the great hollow was nothing more than his tentacles, writhing and rolling, releasing a huge amount of magic power.

Mashu bit her lower lip: "Seventy-two Demon Gods, so your king is..."

She did not utter his name, for the king's retinue was right before her; if she uttered the king's name, it would be sensed and a curse would be cast.

Olga Marie was terrified when she saw Rafe Lenore Floros's true face. Gone was her elegant and arrogant demeanor; she stammered and couldn't utter a single word.

"Rafe..."

Rafe Lenore Floros paid no attention to them; his eyes were only on Hall, the unexpected factor that could truly threaten their plans.

The demonic pillars that had been coiling around the large cavity began to writhe, emerging one by one from the soil and stretching out towards Hall's location.

Hall looked up and glanced at the tentacles of the Demon God Pillars. The Eye of Fate burned away all the fleshy pillars that reached out.

"Damn monkey!"

Rafe Lenore Floros didn't think he could win, but he never expected to be destroyed so easily.

The Demon Pillar chanted ancient and difficult incantations, and wisps of magic flowed from the eyes of the flesh pillar toward Hall, causing the temperature to rise sharply. Any matter that came into contact with the magic was annihilated into nothingness.

Burning style!

The black mud covering the ground boiled and was burned away by the power of the demon god at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Snapped!

Hall snorted and snapped his fingers, a mysterious power imbuing his voice with magic, which was then activated in the form of sound.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

All the demonic eyes that were watching Hall burst open at once, and the demonic pillar that was the main body suddenly wriggled and expanded, as if it had been greatly stimulated. After struggling for a while, it turned into a faint light and dissipated.

Rafe Lenore Floros reappeared in his human form, clutching his face in disbelief and muttering incredulously, "How is this possible...? Being forcibly locked in form can actually restrict us Pillars!"

"The intelligence is flawed and cannot be analyzed."

"He was actually defeated by a human magician!"

"No, it must be because we've been away from the temple for too long, causing necrosis and affecting our functions."

He muttered to himself, trying to console himself, then looked up and glared at Hall, his expression still manic: "Consider this a victory for you, human magician, but you're nothing more than a pebble in the way of the plan, utterly worthless."

Hall's Mystic Eye shone brightly, and the power of the Mystic Eye of Fate corrupted Raef Lenore Floros's body.

Leif Lenore Floros chuckled, "Hmph, even if you kill me, it will be meaningless. I am just one of the seventy-two demon gods. We are all one. If one pillar is lost, another can be regenerated in the temple."

Ok?

His smile quickly froze; the power that had invaded his body wasn't meant to kill him at all.

The true nature of the Demon Pillar is the "Human Principles" compiled by King Solomon, which is itself a form of magic.
