The Holy Grail of the Nine-Pointed Star, which has had many names.

The Cauldron of Gold, the Key of Truth, the Inexhaustible Wisdom, the Miracle of Heaven, the Lies of the Blasphemer, the Gate of Hell, the Source of Magic...... Numerous.

Of course, almost none of them are completely accurate.

Wizards revered it as a sacred relic, even using it to name the original Wizard's Tower and Wizarding Academy, occultism, spells, ancient runes, ...... Almost all the important wizarding departments can be traced back to the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail, even alchemy, which was born much later.

At the beginning of it all, the "Apostate", the "Ancestor of the Wizards", the hat-wearing Logan, returned from the dragon kingdom in the north and placed the Nine-Pointed Star Chalice on Ebolden, creating a "non-existent" Nine-Pointed Star Wizard Tower to protect the Holy Grail, while also building a "real" Wizard Tower as a cover and a place to open the Academy.

The Church of the Holy Cross, on the other hand, denounces the Nine-Pointed Star Grail as a "demonic creation" and has always confronted the Wizard Tower on this matter, and the reason for this is not only the relic of the "apostate", but also the terrifying power of the Holy Grail, as well as rumors of seducing and summoning evil gods and demons.

But no matter which side has ever had a correct understanding of the Holy Grail, or that the Holy Grail itself has never had any terrible power, nor has it had much of an impact on its owner—the best example of this is Logan, who, despite being the first wizard in the history of the Empire, still inevitably aged in his old age, never having a longer life because of the Grail.

For the Wizarding Tower and the Church, the Grail itself is more like a manifestation of the contradictions between the two sides... Even if the Holy Grail doesn't exist, they will still have disputes over something.

In Loren's view, the Nine-Pointed Grail is more of a "node".

Under its influence, the distinction between the void and matter will become blurred, and the two distinct worlds will gradually lose their distinction, thus shaping a world that exists and "does not exist".

For the evil gods, this is the best way for them to reach into the material world, and for the sorcerers of humanity, it is the way to explore and gather the power of the Void and discover the deeper "truths", but at the same time, it is equally dangerous for both sides!

Because the influence of the nine-pointed star grail has a range, at least this one in the hands of the black-haired wizard is, and the range it covers is also extremely unstable, and it is very easy to collapse;

But on the other hand, you can also take advantage of this, relying on the Holy Grail to create a "dream world" that imprisons enemies in a certain indoor environment, and at the same time, with the "Dream of Dreams", a high-level spell with an extremely special effect, you can completely trap an existence that completely depends on the power of the void!

This was the root cause of Loren's creation of the high-level spell of "Dreams of Ran" - it wasn't for the Night's Watch or any humans who fought on magic in the first place, but for the evil god, Fanecis!

It can't really deprive him of his power, but it can be greatly weakened, so that Fanescis's control over Brunhilde will inevitably be weakened, and he will not be able to escape from this cage even if he kills himself!

This is Loren's last hole card and the only means that can threaten Farnes, at least... Right now.

................................................

Farnesis' sinister smile froze on his face, and his eyes widened as he stared at the nine-pointed chalice in the black-haired wizard's hand.

In the next second, the Holy Grail slipped from Loren's hand, turned into a gray-blue light, and disappeared silently at his feet.

The stunned Farnes seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked up—a burning black sun suddenly appeared in the originally empty darkness.

The darkness is fading... No, it's not really, but the darkness of the original nothingness is gradually taking on substance!

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

Fanesis stared at the "black sun" surrounded by golden-red fire above his head in disbelief, and suddenly turned his gaze to the expressionless Loren:

"How do you know... This is impossible, how do you know the power of the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail?!"

"No......" Loren looked at the crazy Fanesis calmly, and his tone was incomparably calm:

"What's really strange to you is why I'm using it now... And not when it was in Dragon King City. ”

Fanesis's face was extremely pale, and his bloodshot eyes stared at the black-haired wizard's face, his hideous gaze as if it were about to pierce his heart with ten thousand arrows.

"On the day I was in Dragon King City, I didn't use the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail and chose to run away. Loren said slowly, his right hand hanging the tip of the dragon's tooth on the side of his leg:

"This gives you a very wrong signal – it's Loren Torino... Actually, I don't know how to use the power of the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail......" said the black-haired wizard's mouth, revealing a very mocking arc.

"Enough!"

The mad Farnes roared furiously:

"Brunhilde, kill him, slaughter him for me, tear him to pieces——!!!!"

The expressionless Valkyrie slowly looked sideways and threw the dying Oath Knight to the ground, and the black-haired wizard silently raised the dragon's teeth, exposing the green tendons of his right hand that clenched the dragon's teeth.

The next second, Brunhilde moved.

"Boom ——!!!!"

barely dodged the tip of the spear that stabbed at the door, but he couldn't dodge the oncoming wave of air!

In an instant, Loren felt as if he had been hit in the chest, and after a while, the intense pain almost tore him in half, and the whole person flew out directly!

The black-haired wizard, who had been in the air for a few seconds before landing, rolled for an unknown distance before he could barely stand on his knees, while the expressionless Brunhilde had already raised his gun again, and the black tip of the spear continued to expand in his vision.

In an instant, it's in front of you!

"Bell ——!"

There was a long, piercing roar from the clash of blades, and the dragon's fangs, spitting gray-blue swords, and Valkyrie's spear clashed.

It's hard to say if she parried Brunhilde's attack or if she's blocking her counterattack - but the moment the two blades collided, the intense tearing and sharp pain almost made the black-haired wizard think his arm was broken!

"Uhhh——!!!!h

Loren, who couldn't stand it anymore, screamed heartbreakingly, his flushed face was even gradually distorted, and the cold sweat on his forehead suddenly rained.

The frenzied Farnesis was still staring at the black-haired wizard who was being suppressed by Brunhilde and kneeling on one knee, and the terrible scream made the smirk on his lips even worse.

That's right, kill him, break him into thousands of pieces, let him completely evaporate from the world, and never appear in front of him again.

Wimpal, Eboden, Dragon King...... Every time I fail, I have this damned, dark-haired wizard!

Frustrated again and again, he escaped death again and again, lost face again and again, and even failed his plan... So much so that I had to fall into the situation I am in today!

Kill him, kill him! As long as he dies, the Grail of the Nine-Pointed Star is in his pocket......

"Even if you kill me right now, you won't be able to get the Nine-Pointed Star Holy Grail. ”

Holding back the trembling and pain coming from his arm, the black-haired wizard covered in cold sweat barely squeezed out a smile: "So have you forgotten - you haven't destroyed the 'Dream' yet, except for being able to come back from the dead, you are no different from an ordinary person right now?"

Farnesis was shocked, and his crazy pupils suddenly contracted.

"If the 'Dream World' is completely completed, the dream will become an absolute cage - unless you can kill all beings except yourself, including Brunhilde and the 'Black Cross' behind you, you will never be able to leave!"

Moaning in pain, Loren, who was covered in cold sweat, curled the corners of his mouth proudly while opening his mouth with difficulty, staring at the tip of the spear that was close to his eyebrows little by little, and his arms that were desperately resisting were already in severe pain to the point of numbness:

"Are you ready to accompany me to the end of time... Lord Farnesis?"

"Loren Turin, Ahh——!!!!h

Under the burning black sun, the unwilling roar of Farnesis echoed.
