Final Trial of Mankind

"Why did you come here? The ancient city..." Mu Chen asked curiously.

"Nagisa was brought here, of course I have to come to rescue her." Kojoro said loudly in a natural tone.

"It's really the rumored [Sister Control]!" Mu Chen observed the panting Gucheng, and then gave him a thumbs up, "Good job, I've decided, the result of tonight's battle, I will give it to you."

"What is the result of the battle? What are you talking about? No, it's not about this time. What happened here? Why did Nagisa..."

"Well, don't worry, I'm not very good at explaining, but there is a special interpreter here, you can ask her, after all, she is the one who brought your sister here." Mu Chen pointed The distant mountain attacking mage on the opposite side said.

"So, over there, can you explain to the ancient city that is still unclear?"

"It's a feast of flames." Yuan Shan watched the twelve coffins arranged side by side in a fan shape and began to explain.

In the center of the coffin pile is a huge crystal enclosing a gray-haired girl, which reminds people of the scene of Agulola sleeping in the ice coffin.

"This is the fourth primogenitor's awakening ceremony planned by Mr. Zaharias. There are 260 million ordinary citizens living in the Nerapsi Autonomous Region, and it is said that about 15.00% of them have been suspected of being vampires due to large-scale infection. The magical power they provided awakened the Fourth Primogenitor."

"Then the infection that occurred on Itokami Island is also..."

"It should be the aftermath of the ritual magic. Now only the old southeast region is under control." Yuan Shan replied with a tone of insight.

This made the ancient city have the question of "who is this guy?" for the first time. While taking Nagisa to the old southeast region, he also had information outside the island. Although he once suspected that she was an accomplice of Zaharias , but it does not seem to be the case.

"...Why did you bring Nagisa in? She has nothing to do with 'Yebo of Flame Light', right!?" Kojou pointed to Nagisa who seemed to be a different person with a stern smile, and asked Yuanshan.

Yuan Shan looked back at the ancient city with surprised eyes.

"Haven't you noticed it yet?"

"What the hell are you talking about...!?"

"Nagisa is the Fourth True Ancestor, not a body, but the real Fourth True Ancestor."

"what are you saying……!?"

The unexpected answer made Gucheng's voice rise, and Nagisa's smile, with black hair fluttering under the moonlight, was a little more sinister.

"As you know, Agulola who is sealed in the world's oldest 'Demon Special Zone' Gozo Island—is not No.12, she is nothing more than a watcher." Ignoring the shaking of the ancient city, Yuan Shan continued Said.

"...the watcher?"

"Sealed in the ruins is the 'soul', which is the body of the fourth true ancestor. The three true ancestors and the people from the 'Heaven Department' jointly bred the artificial 'soul of the curse'—we call it for the time being 'The original, that is, the original Agulola."

"Is that what possessed Nagisa... the original Agurola...!"

Gucheng finally felt that he had a clue.

I am afraid that except for those who have known everything (including Mu Chen who learned through the plot), others, including Yacheng, have not understood it correctly.

Aguruola didn't lose her memory, but she was not told anything from the beginning. She was just an empty shell puppet created to protect or monitor the "original Aguruola".

Among the twelve "Nights of Flame", why is only Agulola sealed in the world's oldest "Demon Special Zone" Itogami Island——

That's because she is a watcher.

In order to protect the sleeping humanoid props of the true Fourth Primogenitor's soul "Prime Agurora", this is the true face of No. 12.

What possessed Nagisa was not a part of Agulola's personality, but the soul of the Fourth True Ancestor itself, and Nagisa who accommodated the soul was the Fourth True Ancestor.

"Sure enough...is it like this..."

Zaharias, covered in blood, stood up from the back of the coffin placed in the plaza, a dead corner of the ancient city.

There was a deep wound on his abdomen that seemed to be split in half.

It was a serious injury that a normal person would not be able to survive, but his wound was gradually healing like a slow motion reversed.Just like the true ancestor of the vampire who was cursed with immortality.

"Zaharias...? What's going on, you look like..." Gucheng muttered after noticing the rejuvenated Zaharias.

Zaharias held his wound in pain, and said with a sneer: "What's there to be surprised about, Xiao Gucheng, aren't you also the same kind as me..."

"...The same kind? I see... Zaharias, are you also a servant of blood?"

Zaharias stood up with a happy smile, wiped the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and staggered towards Nagisa.

"Since I've awakened, it's easy to say, come on, 'Original Agulola', let Velasta be resurrected, let your miko and my sister—"

"What a stupid man, Zaharias."

From Nagisa's mouth came out a voice that was not her own, it was the voice of the "prime" soul.

Hearing her contemptuous tone, the arms dealer's expression stiffened.

"……Um!?"

"I am the strongest vampire in the world, a god-killing weapon created for the 'Holy Annihilation', immortal, I have no blood compatriots, and I have no desire to dominate, only the twelve beasts who lead the incarnation of disaster to suck blood and kill those who destroy , I will neither submit to anyone nor be dominated by anyone."

"Are you saying that you...don't obey my wish!? This is my wish as your servant of blood!? I am the one who offered a living sacrifice for you as the emperor chooser!?" Zaha Lias desperately explained.

However, a sneer appeared on Nagisa's face as if she saw a dirty pest.

"It's really stupid, isn't it you who killed that girl?"

"I, I killed... What are you talking about...!?"

"Obviously, in order to obtain eternal life, you took the ribs from No. [-] at the cost of your motherland and the life of your sister. Why do you expect me to resurrect your sister? In fact, what you long for is not your sister, but Is it me? Do you think I didn’t notice the soul-capturing spell (trap) you set in that Vilasta’s body?”

"Uh...uh!?"

Zaharias hesitated, it seems that the attempt was originally said.

As the originally pale eyes turned, the crystal coffin covering Verasta shattered instantly, and the gray-haired girl's body was surrounded by light and turned into dust and dissipated.

This means that Zaharias' ambitions are completely broken. For Zaharias, who is an arms dealer, even the remains of his sister are just props-materials for obtaining more valuable commodities.

"Dirty vulgar thing, after learning of Nagisa's existence, you must be quite envious and jealous, so you want to revive Velasta, who originally has the same power as this child, and let me possess him, so Do you control the power of the Fourth Primogenitor——?"

"No... no, it's not like this... I just, I just think that I can maximize your value, and I'm the only one..."

The words of Zaharias, who was full of lies, no longer had the original force. He lost the arms dealer he relied on, and retreated timidly.

Yuan Yuan stretched out his hand toward him——

"You, who don't even have the consciousness of fighting, are not qualified to be a follower of the God-killing Weapon. I want to get back that power, Zaharias."

"ah!?"

Sensing a new figure behind him, Zaharias' expression stiffened.

The one who cut off his retreat was a blond girl with a deep scar on her chest—the No. [-] "Yebo of Flame".

She waved her white and slender arm, and pierced Zaharias' left chest like a sharp knife, and the clear sound of bones creaking came from the arms dealer's body.

No. [-] intends to dig out Zaharias' ribs.

"Don't ... don't, hold your hand ... No. [-] ... Hurry up, ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

"Zaharias—!" The girl's blood-stained arm was pulled out.

Under the watchful eyes of Gucheng and others, the body of the arms dealer, whose ribs were taken away, began to rot and disintegrate like sawdust, which was caused by the countercurrent of inherent accumulation of time.

The "rib" of Zaharias should have acted as a medium in the process of receiving the magic power of the Fourth Primogenitor. Therefore, when the "rib" was taken away, the curse of Zaharias' immortality was over. Unraveling, and the weight of the time he experienced flowed in all at once, causing his physical body to begin to destroy.

Finally, Zaharias' body completely disintegrated, leaving only a little ashes.

The "Original Agulola" sighed indifferently, then walked towards the coffin left on the square, as if to welcome her, the sleeping "Yebo of Flame" stood up one after another.

Even Gu Cheng, who has never understood magic very much, can intuitively understand the significance of Agulola's contact with them.

I'm afraid that after awakening, the "Original Agulola" will regain his original power, the power of the strongest vampire in the world, by devouring the "Yebos of Flame".

"—Wait, Yuanyuan!"

It was Gucheng who blocked the "Original Agulola" from moving forward. He stood in her way and stared at the black-haired girl face to face.

"Give me back Nagisa."

"……Um?"

Nagisa, incarnated as the "Original Agulola", looked at the ancient city with stern eyes. It was a pupil of flames that would freeze the soul at a single glance. Even so, the ancient city still did not back down. If you do not seize this opportunity , I will lose the existence named Xiao Nagisa forever.

At this time, this belief is driving the ancient city.

"Who you are and for what purpose you were created has nothing to do with me, but that body belongs to Nagisa, it is useless to you!"

"I see. It seems that you are a little different from Zaharias...but they are just as stupid." "Original" raised his vermilion lips and smiled amusedly.

Zaharias, who used his sister's remains as a prop in order to gain the power of the Fourth Primogenitor, and the ancient city that falsely claimed that the "original" existed in order to save his sister.

She must have been delighted by the contrast.

"Anyway, I can't obey your request, because my soul needs a container."

"Why did you take away Nagisa's body!? Aren't all the Yebos of Flame Light over there are your bodies!?"

"'Yebo of Flamelight'...!?" Yuan Chu frowned unhappily as if hearing a bad joke, "Haven't you been told that 'Yebo of Flamelight' is the name of this project, but At best, they were created as part of a plan to create my clone."

"...Clone?"

"Man created in the shape of God has twelve pairs of ribs, just as God created woman (Eve) from the ribs of man (Adam), my twelve pairs of ribs created twelve bodies , as the host of the beast."

"The host of the beast...?"

"That's right, the dolls are the temporary containers needed to keep the beasts from other worlds in this world, and this is no exception for my watcher No. 12."

The girl with Nagisa's appearance glanced at Agulola who was standing silently beside Mu Chen, and smiled cruelly.

Gu Cheng could only bite his lips tightly and was speechless.

It's not that he didn't think of this possibility. Why was the fourth true ancestor who was sealed because it was too dangerous to be broken down into twelve parts.

Because people in the "Tianbu" are afraid of her resurrection.

Because of this, the source of the original power was scattered and hidden all over the world. In order to prevent the fourth primogenitor from summoning the twelve beasts subordinate to her at will, they were given human bodies respectively, thus connecting them in the world. in this world.

The reason why "Yebo of Flame" was created as a man-made vampire is very simple, because the only thing that can seal a vampire's beast is the flesh of a vampire, and number nine and number one are not manipulating the fourth ancestor's family They are not beasts, but they themselves are favored beasts.

"It means that the true faces of Agulola and the others are actually puppets controlled by the beast... right!"

"Exactly...By the way, now that I have awakened, there is no need for them to exist."

The girl transformed into Nagisa opened her arms, her long black hair fluttered, and huge wings grew from her back, vampire wings with sharp claws——

There are three pairs of six wings.As if each had self-awareness, they writhed like snakes, and then pierced the chests of the six "Yebos of Flame", dark red blood vessels emerged from the surface of the wings and began to beat vigorously.

Eleventh, ninth, eighth, seventh, second, and first—the six "Yebo of Flame Light" were surrounded by light and gradually disappeared into their wings.

Originally, he was regaining the control of the beast by devouring his own clone. With the disappearance of the "Yebo of Flame" in the body, the real fourth primogenitor awakened.
