Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens - Chapter 455 Who is not the Emperor of Chaldea?

A small coastal town located in the far east of Japan. Its name comes from its winter which is considered to be extremely long. In fact, its climate is relatively warm and it is rarely hit by severe cold. If you dig any two springs, you might find a hot spring.

The Mion River, which runs through the city, divides the city into two parts with completely different architectural styles. The east side is Shinto, a highly modern new town with everything, and the west side is Miyama-cho, an old town with basically only residential areas.

Following the noisy chirping of insects and birds in summer, we came to a duplex villa located on the riverside of the new city.

The villa glows with a warm beige luster in the morning light, with imitation stone exterior walls and dark chestnut wooden carved frames. It has the elegance of traditional Japanese architecture, and its appearance alone makes it look dauntingly gorgeous.

Rather than a residence, it is more like a magic workshop carefully built by a magician... Indeed, this is one of the businesses of the mysterious magician named Luke in Fuyuki City.

The reason why he was able to accumulate such a fortune is that the magic inherited by the magician who adopted Luke is quite popular in the real world!

The secret technique called "Mind Interference" is centered on "spiritual subject theory", which believes that the essence of a person is not in the body. The body is just a container for the soul, and the mind is the bridge between the soul and the body. Tampering with the bridge can trap the soul and dominate the body.

Theories are not uncommon, and may have errors, omissions, or contradictions, but the magic world is all-inclusive. From what is truly feasible to what is just a theoretical basis, as long as there are results, they will be recognized.

Although it was not perfect and thorough, it helped him obtain the rank of "priest" in the Clock Tower, one of the three holy places in the magic world. After achieving his long-cherished wish, he discovered something embarrassing...

Because he was too obsessed with magic, he could no longer become an eagle soaring on the grassland. The magic of [Mind Interference] was very suitable for a Minotaur, but he could not even be a 1v1 pure love warrior. He could only choose Luke from the orphanage as his disciple, who had a good number and quality of magic circuits.

Fortunately, Lu Ke studied very hard, and finally inherited his teacher's mantle before his death. He transplanted the magic imprint and successfully took over the "sacrificial" magician rank.

Then, in order to fulfill his teacher's dream, and to complete the ideas that were increasingly infected by his colleagues, teacher and all orthodox magicians while completing his studies in the Clock Tower, as well as the inexplicable desire for the unknown in his bones, after burying his teacher, Luke also began to seek the root cause and came to Fuyuki City, where the singularity began.

…………

Boom boom boom!Accompanied by the crisp and rhythmic knocks on the door, Luke, wearing a black home suit, opened his eyes on the bed in the master bedroom.

He ignored the knock on the door, stood up from the bed, spread his hands and looked at them for a while. Feeling the vast power in his body, he finally confirmed that the shared space was not a dream, and the smile on his lips gradually widened.

Boom boom boom!The repeated knocks on the door interrupted Lu Ke's reverie. After no response, a childish voice with some hesitation sounded outside the door.

Lu Ke suppressed his smile that was not like that of a decent character, replaced it with a gentle smile like a gentleman, and stood up to open the door.

The girl outside the door had short black hair that reached her shoulders. She was quite cute, and she looked timid. She lowered her eyes and carefully observed Luke's expression.

Toosaka Sakura was originally the youngest daughter of the Toosaka family, one of the three great families.

Magic is a difficult subject. To achieve good results often requires the efforts of several or even dozens of generations. For this reason, magicians spend their entire lives practicing and fixing their magic imprints, which are then passed down from generation to generation.

Sakura possesses an extremely precious imaginary attribute, which is defined in magic as: although it is possible, it does not exist in the material world. She has a very high talent, but is not suitable for the Tosaka family's inherited magic.

Normally, such a situation would occur in a family of magicians. Although the attributes did not match, their talents were enough to be recognized. The Toosaka family had very good genes, and the eldest daughter, Toosaka Rin, was a chosen magician that God chased after and fed her.

Toosaka Rin's magic attribute is to be a "user of the five elements" who are adaptable to earth, water, wind, fire, and air. This is a completely predictable brilliant road, and she is even more adaptable to the gem magic of the Toosaka family.

In terms of academic performance, athletic fitness, interpersonal relationships, etc., Toosaka Rin is far better than Sakura. Even when the sisters play flower cards, the younger sister's pair will be inhumanely suppressed by the older sister's royal flush.

After all, more bloodlines that inherit the magic mark mean more possibilities of reaching the source.

If nothing unexpected happened, Sakura would be sent to the Matou family by her father Tōsaka Tokiomi when she was five years old, and would have suffered a series of inhumane treatments from the old bastard Matou Zouken and the little bastard Matou Shinji.

But she was intercepted by Lu Ke in the middle.

Compared to the Matou family, which is also one of the three great families and has no successor, a magician like Luke, who is weak and young and will most likely have descendants in the future, does not have much competitiveness.

Also, [Mind Interference] is indeed a very useful magic.

Toosaka Tokiomi can be considered a good magician, but only in Fuyuki City. Looking at the entire magic world, he is not particularly outstanding, especially for a magician who upholds elegance and is particularly obsessed with the roots, who himself has weaknesses at the spiritual level.

Luke touched Sakura's head, looked into the girl's bright eyes, and spoke gently.

"I got up a little late. Nothing to do. Let's go have breakfast."

Sakura nodded obediently out of habit, and seemed to enjoy such an intimate gesture. She blinked her eyes and followed Lu Ke obediently.

The Magic Workshop was not suitable for hiring servants, and the housework was usually shared between Luke and Sakura, whether it was cleaning or cooking.

At first he hadn't thought of letting a five or six-year-old girl do these things, but after Sakura was sent here by her father, she always had the idea that "if she is useless, she will be thrown away", and she looked like life would be boring without her help. Lu Ke had no choice but to agree to let her take on the housework.

Fortunately, Sakura seems to have a talent in this area. Although she is not very old, she can already keep the house in tidy order.

Sakura kept glancing at Luke from the corner of her eye. After noticing his brisk movements and relaxed expression, she asked with a hint of curiosity:

"Teacher, has anything good happened recently?"

"Something happened, but it's probably not a good thing for most people."

Luke put down his knife and fork, looked at Mt. Yuanzang in the deep mountains west of Fuyuki City, felt the unusual flow of magic power, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Sixty years later, the Holy Grail has accumulated enough magical power to summon seven Servants. The next step is to select a suitable Master, and after the Servant and the Master reach a contract, the so-called Command Spells will be issued.

Lu Ke has no interest in the "wishes" that can be realized after obtaining the Holy Grail, but this should be the fastest and most convenient way to reach the root cause.

The root, or the vortex of the root, is the place where all things are recorded and it is a book that is as old as the universe.

It is the end point of all the rules in the world, and it is also the vortex of origin that every magician desires to reach, even though almost all magicians who have reached the origin have never returned.

If possible, he would naturally hope to integrate into the Holy Grail War more naturally. Remember, there seemed to be a pair with attributes that were very compatible with him?

…………

The magic in the air surged, and a stormy low pressure made the sky gloomy and dark.

Among the Masters selected for the Holy Grail War, the more professional ones all began summoning Servants when their magic power was at its peak, and the others also began the summoning ceremony sooner or later.

"Full, full, full..."

"The cycle repeats itself, and the next is five. However, when it is full, it is the time to discard it."

With a cold expression on his face, Emiya Kiritsugu placed the scabbard Avalon in the center of the magic circle and chanted the spell in a low voice under the gaze of his wife Irisviel.

…………

"Coming out from the crown, circling back and forth on the three-way road to the kingdom."

Wearing a red suit and with his hair neatly combed, Tousaka Tokiomi looked at the fossil of the oldest snake with confidence in his eyes.

…………

"Declaration!"

Respond to the call of the Holy Grail, those who follow this will and truth, respond to me! "

In the arrogant voice, Kenneth, one of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, a magician of the "color rank" second only to the "crown rank", chanted loudly.

…………

"I vow here that I will accomplish all the good deeds in the world, and I will destroy all the evil deeds in the world."

…………

"I have made your eyes dark and your mind violent, and you are a prisoner of madness. I am the master of these chains!"

"You should blind your eyes with chaos and serve my body. You are imprisoned in the cage of madness."

The parasitic bugs drilled back and forth in various parts of his body, and Matou Kariya, who was twisted in pain, gritted his teeth and joined in the Berserker's unique spell.

"I am the one who holds the chains. You are the Seventh Heaven who is entangled with the three great words. You came here from the Wheel of Restraint, the Guardian of the Scales!"

Kotomine Kirei, the clergyman who assisted his father in supervising the Holy Grail War but was unexpectedly chosen as the Master, spoke in a cold and emotionless tone.

When the spell was finished, a figure covered by magical energy waves appeared in the magic circle in front of the masters. The mist gradually dissipated, revealing the true appearance of the servant.

…………

Two bodies lay across the sofa, with another in the corner, and a boy was tied to the wooden floor.

The young man in a fashionable leather jacket and a leopard-tooth necklace around his neck drew the not-so-standard magic circle with blood on his hands and stammered out the summoning spell.

Ryunosuke Uryuu looked at the magic circle expectantly, and while waiting he kept talking into the ear of the bound boy.

"Do you think demons really exist, kid? I'm often called a demon in the news, so I was thinking, if demons really exist, wouldn't it be very disrespectful to them to call them that?"

"If a demon appears, can you make him eat it obediently?"

Ryunosuke waited for a moment, and when he found that the magic circle had not changed at all, he curled his lips in boredom.

"What? It's really a lie?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a scarlet light suddenly lit up, causing Ryunosuke to take a step back unconsciously. He was surprised to find three strange marks on the back of his hand.

Gildred, wearing a strange magic robe that did not fit the times and with eyes larger than those of a goldfish of the same size, appeared above the magic circle holding a book that exuded an ominous aura, and began to sing in a strange tone like an opera.

"I ask you, are you the one who pursued me, called me, and made me come to the world as a caster?"

"Wow! Cool, is this true? Are there really demons?"

Ryunosuke Uryu couldn't help but cheer. Just as he was about to tell the "devil" his name and give the little boy as dessert, he saw the devil's body suddenly tremble.

"Oh!!! Great being, you...you want to come here? What, use me as a sacrifice?! No...how dare I refuse you..."

Gildred knelt on the ground trembling, holding the Luoyan City textbook tightly in his hand and reciting blasphemous and filthy words.

As these blasphemous words poured out, his body seemed to be squeezed by something invisible, twisting wildly, and even his huge eyeballs began to deform, and finally floated in the air before exploding into pieces.

The flower of flesh and blood turned into scattered magical radiance, but it did not dissipate. Instead, it gathered and turned into a silhouette that gradually darkened.

Lu Ke adapted to this false shell that would break with the slightest effort, and smiled at Ryunosuke Uryu who was completely unaware of the current situation.

"It's our first meeting. You can call me Fujimaru Ritsuka."
