"Ain, Ain, can you hear me?!"

The little wizard felt like he had a long dream.

He seems to be at a fireplace somewhere in Wimpal Academy, and the stern Mentor Dalton Candle talks a lot to himself, and he can't remember exactly what it is, but he vaguely remembers mentioning the history of wizards - "Logan with a hat", "Wizard's Tower", "Holy Cross", "Valve", ...... It's completely different from the history she remembers.

These memories are like shards of glass, but even casual enough to be terrifying!

Logan, who used to be a priest of the Holy Cross, was actually the first wizard, and he also found the Chalice of the Nine-Pointed Star?The first wizard sage to flee to Ebolden turned out to be his followers and traitors to the Church?The ancient runes of the roots of the schools even originated from the sigils of the Church......

If these are true, then what really happened between Ebolden and the Holy Cross hundreds of years ago?!

"Ain?!"

I don't know when, the "person" sitting across from him changed from Mentor Dalton to Loren, and he looked at him worriedly. Really...... Why do you have this kind of dream, obviously I have always been worried about whether he is okay?

"Ain, wake up, it's too late!"

Wake up... I... Where exactly?

The little wizard woke up slowly, and the first thing that came into her vision was the nervous expression of the black-haired wizard.

Then she found herself lying in a dark tunnel in the sewers, more accurately in the arms of some guy.

"Loren?!"

"Thanks Holy Cross, I thought you wouldn't wake up!"

The black-haired wizard's teasing words made the little wizard's pale face flush slightly, but the next moment, the vibrations and falling dust around him made Ain, who had just opened his eyes, wake up immediately.

"W-What's going on, where the hell are we?!"

Ain remembers very well that before he fell unconscious, he should have been in the Holy Grail Hall of the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower!

"It's a long story...... Anyway, we were kicked out of the wizard's tower by that Mr. Corona, and are currently in a tunnel in the sewers. Loren couldn't help but smile bitterly, his expression a little helpless:

"And unfortunately, for some reason, it may not take long for the area we are in to collapse – if we don't get out quickly, we will all be buried alive under Ebolden!"

Although this explanation is no different from fooling, he can only say that.

The Wizard's Tower, which had lost the support of the Nine-Pointed Star Grail and gradually collapsed, collapsed badly along with the surrounding sewers, which were "underground labyrinths" built with the help of the "Will of the Rock". Over the years, the part that had been distorted by the Holy Grail had also been partially altered, and naturally disintegrated after the Grail disappeared.

As for what Corona said, Loren was also not going to tell the little wizard...... Because it's just too dangerous.

Whether it was the history of wizards or the identity of the "first wizard" Logan, Mr. Corona told him these "truths" that were enough to subvert cognition in an almost chatty tone - just knowing any one of them was enough to silence the church.

Although the bishop of Farnesis was already eager to kill himself......

"Boom ——!"

As if to prove that he was not lying, there was a huge vibration from the corridor above his head!

Loren, who was holding the little wizard in his arms, immediately rolled and hid to the side. As soon as the two of them stabilized their feet, the place where they were standing was collapsed by the collapsed masonry oats.

The two of them looked at each other in fear at the same time, and swallowed their saliva fiercely.

"Leave now, what do you say?" the black-haired wizard suggested.

The little wizard nodded desperately.

At the moment of getting up, Ain, who suddenly remembered something, almost instinctively spoke: "The Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail...... Did you get it?"

Looking back, Loren saw the worried and concerned expression of the little wizard, and there was not a trace of distraction in his eyes as clear as sapphire.

This is the only person in this strange world that I can absolutely trust.

"It's on me. The smiling black-haired wizard gave him an affirmative look: "We won this 'Holy Grail War'. ”

Ai Yin, who was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but laugh, but the smile on her pale cheeks was really sad.

"Boom ——!!!!"

The cracked masonry blasted to pieces above their heads, and half of the used walls became huge pits, and countless clouds of smoke and rubble slid down.

The two people, who couldn't even stand on their feet in the tremor, immediately rushed towards the other end of the road!

.............................. When the black-haired wizard left, another figure appeared in the Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower.

The roar of broken masonry echoed through the crumbling halls of the corridor, and the braziers around them had been extinguished, and the marks of cracks covered the ground, which would turn into ruins at any moment.

But when he stepped into this place, he showed no signs of retreating.

Entering the corridor, Farnesis stared almost feverishly at the burning black sun in the center of the sky, as if he was experiencing something that only a legend would have happened.

"Towering towers, bottomless abysses, hellish darkness...... And the burning black sun hanging high above the dome!"

Farnesis muttered in a low voice, and the bishop, who was originally calm, even his lips trembled slightly at this moment:

"Just like it was written...... This is the 'Blasphemous Church' built by Logan the Apocryphal to house the Chalice of the Nine-Pointed Star——!"

Memories go back to the night before leaving Lothair......

When Bishop Fabiang told him that he would not inherit his mantle but would go to Ebotden to become bishop, Farnesis was furious.

He'd been preparing for this day for so long, and now he's going to be bishop in a place where the church is at its weakest, and where it's almost full of wizards—it's like exile!

Then, enraged, he was guided by Fabiang and saw the "secret" that shocked him.

Power, ambition, desire, status...... Completely meaningless in the face of the "truth", Hephanesis himself, and indeed the entire Church, are nothing more than an insignificant pawn in the vast plan of the Holy Cross.

Ancient legends are not stories of cajoling believers, but facts that have been covered up;

Hundreds of years of preaching were not intended to expand the power of the Church, but only to lay the foundation for the coming of the Holy Cross.

When the light of God shines on the world, all kingship, domination, and rebellion...... will be wiped out invisible.

And himself, humble Fanecis, will become a faithful believer in the devotion of the Holy Cross!

But what he didn't know was that he would never see that day again......

"Poof——!

The sudden stinging sensation made Fanecis involuntarily stop and freeze in place in shock.

"How, how could it be ......?"

He lowered his head in disbelief, and a slender steel sword pierced his chest from the place of the heart. The cold tip of the sword was still dripping blood, staining the plain white priest's robe red.

An indifferent Edward stood behind him, holding the hilt of his sword in his right hand, and pulled it out suddenly!

There was another tremor, and the surprised Farnesis didn't seem to have reacted to the scene just now, and the wound on his chest turned around tremblingly, and the blood that spurted out of his throat kept pouring out of his mouth.

"I warned you, Bishop Fanecis. The night watchman's voice was cold: "You gave me enough reason to kill a bishop of the Holy Cross!"

"You, you rebel...", Fanecis, who vomited blood from his mouth, said vaguely: "Holy Cross, please forgive... Your ignorant... Believers, they don't know ...... Exactly yourself... What did you do...!"

Another sword, piercing Fanecis in the throat.

"I know exactly what I've done, just like you. ”

The indifferent Night's Watch drew his sword, threw the dying bishop in a pool of his blood, and grasped the hilt of his sword upside down: "The Night's Watch in the shadows, no one will ever know their names!"

The last scene that Farnesis saw was a stabbing sword piercing through the center of his eyebrows!
