The birthplace of magic is Europe.

This is the correct argument of geopolitics, but it is not appropriate in the context of cultural anthropology.

Strange techniques such as magic and spells exist in any country's culture, and it is true that most of the powerful magic associations and other organizations are in Europe, but it is not that only the magic in their places is orthodox and mainstream.

In fact, since modern times, many Western magicians have devoted themselves to the study of Eastern spiritual civilization.

For example, the Indian mysticism of yoga and mantras. Chinese mantras such as Taoism, Feng Shui, Five Elements Thought, etc.

Japan, the land of samurai, is also a suitable subject for study, and there are many Western magicians who are particularly enthusiastic, and the belief in the eight million gods, which is unique to Japan, is also a popular subject for study.

…… Unexpectedly, the Wanli Valley family had intimate contacts with such foreign researchers.

The Wanriya family was originally a courtier in Kyoto, but the difference was huge, and they were not noble families, nor were they wealthy.

This bloodline has been born many times over the generations with excellent spiritual powers.

The same is true of contemporary Yuri, who have been entrusting such women to shrines and temples and working as nuns or shrine maidens for hundreds of years.

Because of this lineage, the family has a lot of status in the fields of religion and spells, and in the Meiji Showa period, the head of the Wanli Valley family, who was given the status of a baron, was a socialist who liked Western culture.

Westerners - have a lot of dealings with people who have knowledge of magic.

The Wanri Valley family entertains researchers who visit Japan for field research and facilitates their research. If you are visiting from Europe, we will entertain them if you have the chance.

Therefore, although it seems that he grew up in a pure Japanese style, he is used to interacting with foreigners, and his daily conversation can probably be handled in English, and he has also traveled to Europe a few times.

…… Because of this family situation, it is ironic that he was imprisoned by Sasha Dejansdal Woban.

"It's a nostalgic invitation to Austria four years ago." Woban said as he narrowed his eyes.

In the reading room of the library, which was forcibly occupied, he sat cross-legged in a rough lead-tube chair.

However, it was like the emperor himself sitting on the throne of the Son of Heaven.

Arrogant and unscrupulous, arrogant and noble—

"At that time, I was very bored, and I was still thinking that it was a hunt that I hadn't seen for a long time, but I became a little more famous, but the [God of Disobedience] didn't come out at all, and he didn't appear in front of me, which was the cause of my headache."

The only people listening to him were Yuri and Liliana Clanichar, and Woban's attitude and tone were very calm, but his humanity was the opposite.

In fact, what he did was very selfish and full of blasphemy.

"I have several privileges, the right to choose the prey to hunt...... However, I don't have a hobby of hunting rats, only the strong ones are worth hunting. ”

Laugh.

The Demon King who slaughtered several pillars of gods had a hideous and crooked smile on his lips.

Creepy power spread from his tall and thin body, and the sharp emerald eyes shone like tiger pupils.

"As for the gods who are suitable to be my prey, this problem has not been solved at that time, and the mysterious ritual of summoning the [God of Disobedience] has been invited...... If this ritual is successful, I should be able to enjoy it for a while—"

The whole story of the events of four years ago - remembering the anger of the god who was robbed by Salvatore Toni, the smile disappeared from the corner of Woban's mouth.

Turn your precipitous gaze to the void.

"Now, I want to challenge the same thing as four years ago, so as I did then, I need your cooperation,—— ah, you have no right to refuse, because no one can disobey what I have decided by Woban."

Four years ago, in order to complete the [Divine Summoning] technique, which is considered extremely difficult in many advanced magic tricks, Woban gathered talented shrine maidens from all over Europe, and in order to use their magical power to recruit gods, it can be said that it was unfortunate that he was invited by an acquaintance from Austria to come to the Wanli Valley house in Europe because of the summer vacation.

Talented shrine maidens like Wanri Valley are also very rare in Europe, so Woban's subordinates who hunt witches with excellent magical powers immediately find out that they are considered to be sacrifices to the demon king.

"Hey, anyway, you don't have a way to escape, right, just accept the hospitality frankly, how about it?" The Demon King's evil eye glows green.

Yuri shuddered as her feet, a shallow layer of light that partially surrounded her knees, quickly turned white, and the sensation in that area vanished.

The power of evil vision that turns people into lumps of salt.

She was now being cast with this power, and Woban was only a part of Yuri's body to prove that she had the ability to control it with precision.

"Marquis, isn't the joke a bit overdone! If the girl dies, there is no one who can replace her. ”

"I wouldn't do something stupid like that, but there's a little truth to what you're saying, and it's not good to waste your rare extraordinary abilities on a game like this."

Woban's eyes lowered for a moment at Liliana's advice, and his feet, which became white inorganics, immediately changed back to their original colors.

The feeling under his knees also recovered, and Yuri was relieved deep down.

"A chicken that can lay golden eggs can't cut off its head right away...... I'm not sure you'll be able to leave you behind after you die, so don't let me do such boring experiments. Woban laughed again.

The smile he showed this time had a sense of humor, a smile full of sarcasm.

"My servants, all of them are inhabitants of the tomb, you don't want to be like that, do you?"

Woban snapped his fingers.

A figure suddenly appeared behind Woban.

Dressed in a tattered tunic with numerous cuts, as if it had once been a glorious battle attire, with a coat of arms embroidered on the garment, a belt wrapped around the waist, a saber and a helmet, it is completely reminiscent of knights of the thirteenth and fourth centuries.

However, the biggest feature is the pale death face, which looks like a dead man, with a completely expressionless face, emptiness, and dilated eyes. Unlike real corpses, it just doesn't stink.

[-This is the [Servant of Death]!] 】

Yu idealized one of the powers that Woban possessed. Let the dead who have been slaughtered and killed by their own hands be transformed into a power of domination over their faithful servants.

If you disobey him, you will become like that, this may be a more terrible thing than becoming salt, the dead have no life, if you are bound by this old demon king, you will never be able to rest.

"The god who rose from the dead—repairs the torn body, takes back life, and descends on the ...... of Hades," suddenly the words blurted out of Yuri's mouth.

The Servant of the Dead stimulates her sense of inspiration. The figure of God appeared from behind Woban. It's a god with several bandages on his green skin and a crown. I'm afraid that it is the god of death and life who has been wiped out by this old man.

He is the consort of the Mother Earth God, who is in charge of life, and has become the god of the ruler of Hades.

"Oh? Do you know how I wrestled power from this god? Woban asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Try to talk about it. What is the extent of your power, try to show it in front of me. ”

"No, no, she might just have remembered those words out of nowhere, please don't mind—"

"I am the one who judges! Silence is not allowed! Say! ”

In the face of a roaring rebuke, Yuri's body shook.

“…… The godhead that the royal body killed, I know the name is Osiris, the godhead of Egypt. ”

The powerful spiritual vision echoes with the gods, calling out the spirit of speech, and the spirit of speech entrusts the word to know the holy name of God.

After hearing this, Woban nodded with satisfaction: "It's really amazing, there is nothing wrong with choosing you." ”

Woban looked happy and smiled.

As soon as Yuri saw the form of the god, he was overwhelmed by a sense of despair.

Osiris was a very powerful god among the gods of ancient Egypt.

The father of the god-king Horus, the god of harvest of the previous king, and the goddess Isis, who was skilled in magic, was his wife, and he was unable to succeed in resurrection after being cut into 14 pieces of meat, and later became the ruler of Hades.

Like many other deities, the nature of Horus, as well as the stories and legends about him, have been constantly changing with history, and Horus can be seen as a merger of many other gods associated with imperial power, the sky, etc., and most of these gods are the sun god, which is very similar to the Christian statement about the Trinity of God.

How do you deal with a monster that has defeated such a god?

Yuri felt nothing but a sense of despair, weighing heavily on her—remembering what he had said yesterday.

[If that happens in the future, call me sooner ......]

A young man who resembles the old man in front of him, said with a kind heart. He has the power to fly to those in need whenever someone calls his name.

- But no.

Yuri doesn't think he has a chance of winning......

Kusanagi Godo was unable to defeat Sasha Dejansdal Woban, and she could understand this deeply for those who had come into contact with these two kings, although they both belonged to the same class as Campione, but the difference in strength between the two was too great.

The old man had fully mastered his powers, but the young man was not.

Like a kitten challenging a tiger, Yuri's inspiration declares that if Kusanagi Godo fights Sasha Dejansdal Woban, the victorious person will undoubtedly be the old marquis.

In order not to kill Kusanagi Godo, Yuri did not call him by name, but ......

Here there is a voice of a fourth person that should not have been there at all.

"Ahh I didn't expect you to hide in such a place, it's really dark enough, how can I say it......" footsteps sounded in the shadows, and then, the silhouette of a person appeared in the shadows.

The footsteps slowly became louder, and finally, Naraku, dressed in black, appeared in front of the wolf king Woban.

"First time we met, the wolf king from afar, although I am not the king of this land, just a passerby on the journey, but what, since I am here now, then this place is under my protection, and letting you cause trouble under my nose will make more people resist me?"

"You're ......," Woban hesitated.

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself, I'm your senior, because I hate fighting with a certain guy, so I went to sleep, I just woke up, and I just killed the god of disobedience, the World Tree, Yuktrasil, two days ago, and you're just a little ghost to me."

"...... the previous generation?" Woban's eyes narrowed.

"That's right, in the era before you were born, after the other godkillers were killed by the 'Last King', I was the one who swept away the disobedient gods who descended on the earth."

"The Last King?"

"Oh, I don't want to give you the rest of the information for nothing, you just need to know that I was the only surviving godkiller in the previous generation."

"So, what's the matter with your coming here?"

"Ah, I heard that you caught a little girl, so come to your side to see, the knight over there, it is really troublesome to follow such a master who violates the spirit of chivalry, do you want me to give you shelter in his place during the period when your king is injured, how about leaving this old ghost?"

“…… No way, there is no substitute for my faithfulness. ”

"Ah, is it? That's a pity! It's hard to waste my kindness once, well, it doesn't matter, I'm not the kind of waste material that needs help anyway. Naraku shrugged indifferently, and then looked at the main road who came over this time, "But, Wolf King, don't you care about me digging your corner?" ”

"It doesn't matter what she wants, it's her business to do what she's willing to do."

"I see, it seems that the conversation can still be carried out! I'm going to fight the king of Japan in the near future, but I find that the guy doesn't seem to have a full grasp of his own powers, and he has a lot of limitations, so I'm going to find him a helper to strengthen him, so I'm here to save her. Naraku pointed at Yuri and said slowly.

"Oh? How? Woban smiled.

Naraku smiled too—it was a rather wicked smile.

"Does that need to be said as well? Yes, of course...... By force! ”

On this day, the duel between the king who was born and the previous generation, who had returned from another world, and the king who had survived for two hundred years, began.
