In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

In the end, only one sentence remained, echoing in the air.

That was a reminder from the modern-day guardian named 'Emiya'.

He said, "Alaya will not give up so easily."

"Next, you will be faced with an even more powerful 'Guardian'."

Throughout this process, Lu Kang remained calm and composed, his gaze fixed on them, naturally aware of the even more powerful beings he was about to face.

He had already made ample preparations.

so.

"In the end, I am still a magician."

Not the kind of knight who recklessly charges toward an impossible goal, bravely challenging the windmill monster.

Rather, he is a 'magician' who weaves together the right timing, location, and people to create a miracle of the times.

But a miracle has already been achieved.

Next.

He will then face the challenge of whether the miracle can be sustained.

Welcome.

The knight's challenge of the 'desperate situation'!

—And in this way, he embodied the spirit of knighthood that belonged to him.

"This is also what I ultimately needed to condense the 'Crown of Martial Arts'!"

Within the thoughts of God, within the thought circuits.

Before this, Lu Kang's 'crown' formed from the arsenal had already been shining brightly, about to be revealed.

Just one step away.

Just a little bit.

He has gathered the 'commandments' of many knights.

finally.

All that's left are the things that belong to me, the things I haven't collected yet!

In this regard, we should simply let nature take its course.

Naturally.

"Then come forth, strongest guardian of humanity—"

The buzzing sound gradually dissipated along with the phantoms of the seven guardians, but the scattered light and shadows did not disappear. Instead, they swirled in the air and converged in the same direction within the hall.

The spirit origins of the seven guardians are gathered.

They come together as one.

Condensed into one.

Ultimately, what emerged was the new, strongest guardian of humanity.

"Caster, Solomon."

"Coming in response to the world's call."

The man with long, pale, disheveled hair slowly opened his eyes.

The ten rings on her fingers shone brightly here!

Chapter 227 The Crown of Martial Arts, Severing the Spatial Secret Sword

Solomon.

This is an existence that neither the surface nor the inner workings of the world, neither magicians nor the church of later generations can bypass—

He was once the king of Israel in the Middle East in the first millennium BC. In a dream, he received revelation from the only 'God' believed in by the church in later generations. Through this, he learned about God's power and glory, and possessed the 'Ten Commandments' that govern all mysteries. He became the unique king of that era, the one closest to 'God', and the king of the saints.

He manifested the 'mystery' and 'miracle' bestowed by God only twice in his life: once when he revealed himself before all people, making them aware of his divinity.

Once, it happened just before he died.

He returned to Jehovah the mystery he had learned, which originated from God.

And it was precisely this manifestation, which occurred only twice in his life, that influenced the mystery for thousands of years to come.

Solomon's first manifestation created a 'formula' called the Seventy-Two Demon Pillars. With this, he contained the remaining mysteries of that era and laid the foundation for magic that did not belong to the Age of Gods but to later generations—the concept and theory of the oldest magic foundation.

His second attempt further accelerated the mysterious decline.

He is the progenitor of all modern magic and the true creator of the foundation that covers the world—the Church.

Everything in the world that preserves mystery originates from him.

His existence represents a pinnacle that no Western magician of later generations could ever surpass—the so-called progenitor of magic, the 'King of Magic'.

...

Looking at Lu Kang's figure appearing before him, he felt surprised, yet also felt it was only natural.

Since the Seven Guardians were helpless against him, the next one to appear would naturally be an even stronger being. Although he had mastered the infinite martial arts of the era through the 'Arsenal', Lu Kang was still essentially a magician from a non-divine age. For him, Solomon's existence, regardless of strength, was extremely targeted.

Especially the Ten Commandments, which he obtained from the hands of the gods and which govern all mystical things outside the divine age.

Especially the miracles he received from 'God'.

—Although theoretically, after Solomon returned the Ten Commandments to 'Jehovah' before his death, the ten rings should no longer be in his possession.

If it were summoned by human hands during the Holy Grail War, it would only be without the Ten Commandments.

However, what the restraining force summons is more often heroic spirits formed from the souls created by the information imprinted on the world, which are the origin of the information hidden deep within the realm's record tape.

Since it is information, it is possible to reproduce it.

The power of inhibition is necessarily stronger than that of a single human individual.

Based on this, from the perspective of restraint and Alaya, if we want to resolve the source of the upheaval caused by Lucan, the existence of Solomon is perfectly normal.

of course.

What truly surprised Lu Kang was...

"Even the mighty King of Magic would be subject to the use of 'Counter Force'?"

The seven riders mentioned earlier are likely guardians of Alaya, beings that Alaya can command at will.

But Solomon was definitely not.

As a believer of 'God' and the source of all magic, he is even less likely to have made a pact with the restraining force—his arrival is more likely to be due to his own will.

In this regard.

King Solomon, with his long, disheveled white hair, did not respond directly. Instead, he slowly opened his slightly closed golden eyes. His face was calm and his expression was stern. His tall figure, surrounded by a silver royal robe with red patterns, appeared quite serene.

The light emanating from the Ten Commandments in his hands, which were clearly a gift from God and the mystical commandment of all things, shone ever brighter.

He simply said calmly:

"Your very existence is a contradiction."

"I am not driven by a repressive force, nor have I come to correct human nature—"

“What I have witnessed is that you, in a non-divine body, bear the power of the divine... This is a variable that I did not foresee before I returned the Ten Commandments.”

Translate it in plain language.

That is, Solomon came only because of his personal interest in Luca.

The mystery of the triple cycle he constructed for posterity.

He forged a mysterious framework that originated from the foundation of magic, yet opened a new door, using himself as the source.

"That would be...a great honor."

Lu Kang grinned, still looking completely at ease.

Although he relied on the accumulation of multiple lifetimes through the 'simulator' and the gains from his many lives, he did not receive the protection of 'gods' in this process; it was all due to his own efforts.

Therefore, gaining the Magic King's approval is proof enough.

With this.

The fact that it could attract Solomon's arrival seems all the more natural.

Then.

"Solomon, the ancient king of magic, witness the glory I will create for posterity!"

No further words are needed.

Whether it was out of his own will or simply because he was summoned by Alaya, now that he has landed, Solomon has only one remaining purpose.

To address Lu Kang, the source of this era's upheaval.

To address the root cause of the 'distortion' of human reason.

Therefore, 'battle' is inevitable.

As the words fell, the buzzing sound rose again, and the unobstructed radiance of mind magic instantly floated over Lu Kang's body. The spells, woven like mercury, flowed down and transformed into a massive and complex high-level magic in a truly instantaneous moment.

But Solomon stood silently beneath him, motionless, yet the light of the Ten Commandments on his hand flickered slightly—and the mercury-like magic dissipated in the process!

The shattered radiance disintegrated into the air like broken rubble, or like fragments of mottled moonlight.

Ultimately, Lu Kang's mystery stems from himself.

However, most of the techniques he used were created by Solomon.

Yes.

Mostly—not all!

A moment later, and then another moment later, the shattered silver mystical light instantly reformed in the air, and the spell that had been rejected by the Ten Commandments was condensed again—even larger and more refined than before!

The three cycles rotate synchronously.

Start at maximum frequency!

Solomon's ten rings flashed again, attempting to erase once more the spell that defied the power of the progenitor of magic.

However, this time, the mercury-like magical torrent only trembled slightly before stubbornly maintaining its shape.

The true ether that flows continuously from the body of God has surpassed the scope of non-divine magic in both quality and quantity.

Solomon's ring can indeed nullify all "human magic".

But what Lu Kang is releasing at this moment is a 'miracle' based on the magic power of the Age of Gods and driven by his own divine spirit—a supreme power that can rival the highest level of magic in the Age of Gods, or even the ultimate magic that is essentially power itself.

This is still the same old saying.

Luca's mystical system originated from Solomon's magical foundation.

But they have already distinguished themselves from the crowd.

Today, its roots are by no means built on the foundation laid by Solomon.

"……I see."

For the first time, a slight ripple appeared in Solomon's golden eyes.

As the king of magic, Solomon is naturally the highest-ranking magician. Just like Merlin, he also possesses the highest level of clairvoyance, and he can even see more than Merlin.

Merlin could only see the present, but could not glimpse the true past and future.

Solomon's all-seeing eye was enough to see into the past and the future.

However, even before this, he still seemed unable to fully see through the true nature of the man before him.

All that can be seen is the magnificent style of the absolute cycle outlined in three layers.

"Your 'God' is yourself."

Only then did he understand.

The reason why Lu Kang's magic can resist the Ten Commandments is not because the spells themselves are so special, but because its source, the system called "Triple Cycle," has built an independent system that is on par with, or even higher than, the magic established by Solomon.
