The thirty-plus magicians surrounding them instantly fell to the ground.
Most died on the spot. Although Leticia wasn't a bloodthirsty person, after Wang Xiaoming's introduction, she already knew what kind of people magicians were, so she felt no psychological pressure killing them.
The instant slaughter of more than thirty magicians was extremely shocking!
Both the two magicians who were preparing to run away and Kayneth were stunned in place.
The powerful and experienced Seal Designation Enforcer team was instantly killed upon meeting them, without even having time to make any defensive moves.
Was this shadow magic so terrifying?! The two magicians were so scared that they didn't dare to run, because they were the ones who led them here. They didn't expect the person here to be a super大佬! They felt that if they dared to run, the black shadow blade would directly cut into their throats the next second.
Kayneth was so shocked that he even forgot to control Volumen Hydrargyrum, staring blankly at Leticia, as if he had seen a super terrifying monster.
Kayneth was very familiar with that attack mode, because his Volumen Hydrargyrum could attack in the same way, extending the mercury to attack enemies over a large area.
However, the more complex and precise the extension mode of Volumen Hydrargyrum, the more magic power it consumed. Leticia was able to perform such high-precision operations on more than thirty people simultaneously with such ease.
This was simply not the magic power control precision and amount of magic power that a little girl could possess!
Kayneth realized that this little girl in a maid outfit was not human!
"A Dead Apostle!"
Since she wasn't human, then she could only be a Dead Apostle.
"With this kind of power, you're not an ordinary Dead Apostle. Someone with such power is working as a servant, which means..."
Kayneth looked at Wang Xiaoming.
"I see, so you're a True Ancestor? An True Ancestor I've never heard of. It seems you're a new True Ancestor."
True Ancestors were never immutable. Just like how the Seventh Ancestor Fhoug Rol died in the hands of an unknown person not long ago, perhaps other True Ancestors were killed by magicians, who then seized their abilities and became new True Ancestors?
"It is indeed surprising that a new True Ancestor has appeared among the Dead Apostles, but that's not a reason for you to be so presumptuous in London."
Kayneth threw the Mystic Code in his hand to the ground.
"This is London!"
Kayneth, like the king of Sparta, dropped a very pretentious line and began his offensive.
The Mystic Code he threw down was used to restrain others, and could be directly deployed in conjunction with Volumen Hydrargyrum to encircle the enemy from all directions.
Originally, he intended to capture Leticia, but now, he planned to capture Wang Xiaoming as well.
"Let me show you the power of a Lord..."
Before he could finish speaking, Kayneth's head flew up.
"As expected, a dead Kayneth is a good Kayneth."
Kayneth in the Fate/Zero world was a good teacher, but Kayneth in the Tsukihime world was just a staunch supporter of aristocraticism.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoming planned to replicate the fate of the Kayneth family in the Fate/Zero world, causing Kayneth to die prematurely before middle age, and then Zhuge Kongming would directly take over and become El-Melloi II!
669. Bazett also unexpectedly fell.
Kayneth never expected that the other party would attack him without hesitation. In addition to being a Color-ranked magician, he was also a Lord, one of the twelve Lords of the Clock Tower!
The identity of a Lord represented status and his position as the highest authority of the Clock Tower, the headquarters of the Mage's Association.
This identity involved many things, especially since Kayneth was also a noble, even if he wasn't one of the top three aristocratic families in the Mage's Association, he was still an elite among the nobles.
Therefore, to kill Kayneth, one had to consider the price that might have to be paid after killing him.
"Isn't he afraid of my background?!"
With this thought, Kayneth closed his eyes forever.
After solving Kayneth, Wang Xiaoming ignored the two magicians who were frightened silly and directly began to squat down and search.
Kayneth's Volumen Hydrargyrum, having lost Kayneth's magic power supply, directly returned to its original appearance, becoming a mass of condensed mercury.
In essence, having lost its magic power supply, it should have directly turned into a puddle, but because it had already been made into a Mystic Code, there was a certain amount of residual magic power inside, so it could maintain an original state for a long time, until the internal magic power was exhausted before it would turn into its most primitive mercury state.
And these were Wang Xiaoming's gains.
Wang Xiaoming found the test tube for storing Volumen Hydrargyrum on Kayneth's body. Placed in front of Volumen Hydrargyrum, Volumen Hydrargyrum directly drilled into it as if it had found its home.
Watching Volumen Hydrargyrum completely drill in, Wang Xiaoming plugged the test tube and threw it into his space pocket.
Volumen Hydrargyrum was a Mystic Code that integrated offense and defense, but Wang Xiaoming didn't lack such things. The most valuable thing about this thing was actually the calculation formula inside.
Just like Mery, who had been given a body by Wang Xiaoming, Volumen Hydrargyrum actually had calculation programs inside. The angle of each attack of the mercury, the amount of mercury consumed for each attack, these were all precisely calculated. Even if someone stood on Volumen Hydrargyrum, how much force Volumen Hydrargyrum had to exert, these were all calculated contents. Therefore, Volumen Hydrargyrum was a magic version of artificial intelligence, which, after being improved by a certain overtime-working maniac, became a mobile magic computer maid.
Wang Xiaoming already had a biochemical intelligence like Mery, and now having a magic intelligence was pretty good. One represented technology, and the other represented magic, although that biochemical intelligence already played magic like a pro.
Besides these, there were many other things to obtain. Kayneth had more than just one Mystic Code on him.
As for Kayneth's magic heritage, Wang Xiaoming wasn't very interested in that thing. His magic heritage didn't have any particularly attractive features. The same was true for the Seal Designation Enforcer team next to him. Most of them had more interesting Mystic Codes, but their magic, to be honest, was relatively ordinary.
As expected, not all magicians possessed powerful characteristic magic.
However, what surprised Wang Xiaoming was that among this group of magicians, Wang Xiaoming discovered another acquaintance.
Well, not really an acquaintance, but someone whose name Wang Xiaoming remembered.
Bazett Fraga McRemitz, nicknamed Ba-jie (Sister Ba).
A beauty who looked very飒 (sa, cool), born into an ancient magic family from Ireland.
Most people may not be familiar with Sister Ba, because she didn't appear much, and the time she appeared was in the Fifth Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City in 2004. She participated in the Holy Grail War as a magician dispatched by the Mage's Association, and the Servant she summoned was Lancer Cu Chulainn!
That's right, she was the first Master of the Great Dog, but unfortunately, she was ambushed by Kotomine Kirei, who cut off her arm and stole Cu Chulainn.
And Sister Ba possessed a very powerful Noble Phantasm, that's right, it was a Noble Phantasm!
Others were playing with Mystic Codes, but Sister Ba directly started playing with Noble Phantasms. As a member of the Red Branch Knights, that is, the descendants of the knights to which the hero Cu Chulainn belonged during his lifetime, she had a very strong talent. Not only could she use Rune magic, but she could also use Noble Phantasms.
Noble Phantasm - Fragarach, the Retaliatory Sword!
It looked like just a simple light bullet, but it possessed a very powerful principle, that is, it could only be activated after the enemy's [trump card] attack was launched, and after it was activated, it would definitely hit the opponent first, and then directly kill the enemy with one blow, thereby reversing the battle.
The real principle was actually twisting cause and effect, changing one's own attack into an absolute first strike. It was a spell that could change the order, because the side that was attacked and knocked down first had no chance to counterattack, so this sword could almost cancel any attack. It could be said to be the ultimate intercepting Mystic Code.
As for why it could only be used after the enemy's [trump card] attack was launched, it was because Bazett was confident that she could easily deal with the enemy's ordinary attacks using her Rune magic and martial arts.
She engraved Rune characters on her clothes, fists, feet, and main joints to protect her main combat areas, so dealing with ordinary enemies was no problem at all.
The Bazett of the future was even known as the strongest Sealing Designation Enforcer, extremely skilled in combat.
But now, she doesn't seem to have grown to the level of the future, actually being in this team and then directly being instantly killed.
After all, the Dragon's Remnant Shadow's speed was too fast. Leticia directly attacked more than thirty people at once, and it was instantaneous. To be honest, this is a small matter. If she went all out, the Dragon's Remnant Shadow could even attack hundreds of times per second, directly cutting these people into minced meat without any problem.
Bazett had never seen such an attack, so she couldn't even react in the first moment, let alone equip her Hrunting.
After all, there were more than thirty people on her side! Only four on the other side, an average of eight people fighting one. If she still needed to use Hrunting, then she would be too weak.
The result was that Bazett, who felt that there was no need to be careful at all, died directly under the Dragon's Remnant Shadow, which was a bit embarrassing.
However, this world doesn't have a Holy Grail War, and she doesn't have the need to participate in the Holy Grail War. Death is death. Although people call her 'Sister Bazett,' Wang Xiaoming only knows of her as a person. His understanding of her is limited to the unlucky person in the Fifth Holy Grail War and the card art of the four-star Craft Essence. There is nothing more than that.
So, Wang Xiaoming took Hrunting from Bazett's body and continued to search others. Although Hrunting isn't a powerful attack, Wang Xiaoming is very curious about the magic that directly reverses causality within it. If his attacks could also achieve 'later arriving first,' that would be great, wouldn't it!
670. The Bidding Begins
The corpse of a Lord of the Clock Tower was discovered in a remote alley in London, along with an entire team of Sealing Designation Enforcers.
A total of thirty-eight people were annihilated. The method of death was the same: directly having their necks severed in one fatal blow, without any possibility of survival. Everyone was instantly killed without resistance. There wasn't even a trace of magic activation on their bodies. As elite mages, they didn't even have time to use magic before they were killed!
This situation terrified the mages of the Clock Tower, and they immediately participated in dividing up the interests of the Kenneth family.
You say Kenneth is dead? Just a Lord. The Clock Tower will quickly elect a new Lord. Avenge Kenneth? Whoever wants to do that can do it. Anyway, they have no interest in doing it.
So, under these circumstances, London finally ushered in its most lively time.
The Black Princess's bidding has begun!
A manor on the outskirts of London, this is the Black Princess's territory. As a princess among the True Ancestors, the Black Princess naturally has her own power. The Black and White Knights behind her are considered guards, and Fou is considered a pet. These are all the Black Princess's supernatural powers. In addition to these, there is naturally mundane power, such as money power.
As everyone knows, mages are very expensive professions! Although magicians are not mages, they are also very expensive. That's why commoner magicians have such a hard time because they don't have resources, whether it's research resources or training resources, they are not as good as noble magicians.
And the Black Princess, as a noble among the True Ancestors, and living in this human world, inevitably needs money, so she possesses money power.
This manor is a product of the Black Princess's money power.
The manor's hall is filled with many magicians. This time, it's not familiars because they need to be present in person. After all, the final item to be traded is the Child of the Einzbern Forest, and the Child of the Einzbern Forest cannot be taken away by a familiar. That's like letting a child push a cart full of banknotes and wander around the street.
Therefore, the magicians who have gathered in London these past few days have all personally come to the door.
Although they can beat the shit out of each other in the alleys of London, they are all very calm with each other now.
Because this is the Black Princess's territory, the Black Princess's manor. Not only is there the Black Princess here, but there are also the Black and White Knights, and even the White Princess! Even the Primate Murder is here!
No matter who it is, in the face of four True Ancestors and a true human-killing monster, they dare not make a sound. They are all wary of each other here, but they dare not make any noise.
Nothing happened, no one showing off and mocking each other before the bidding started, leading to a fight.
In silent waiting, the clock in the manor hall slowly reached 12 o'clock at night.
Dong—
After the bell rang, the door on the second floor of the hall suddenly opened.
The Black Princess, wearing a black evening dress, slowly walked out of the room.
Behind her were the Black and White Knights wearing armor. A princess with knights, this is very reminiscent of a different time.
And at her feet was Fou, wearing a tie.
The Black Princess's team made their full entrance.
"The Black Princess is out. All of her people are out."
"The other door is open too!"
There are two doors on the second floor, connected by a corridor, with a staircase in the middle leading to the hall on the first floor. This is a typical Western-style hall design.
When the Black Princess came out of the door on the right, everyone was guessing whether the White Princess would be in the other door. After all, the news spreading outside was that the Black Princess and the White Princess were acting together.
Sure enough, the door on the left slowly opened after the Black Princess and her group all came out.
Arcueid, wearing a white evening dress, slowly walked out of the door.
"It really is the White Princess. She's actually acting together with the Black Princess."
"Didn't they say that the White Princess and the Black Princess are enemies? How did they manage to act together? Something's not right."
"Wait, there are people behind the White Princess!"
After Arcueid came out, there were two more people behind her, both with the same blonde hair as Arcueid. One was wearing silver-white armor, and the other was wearing a blue-and-white maid outfit, looking like Arcueid's knight and maid.
"This is... Arcueid's servant?"
"Didn't the White Princess always say that she acts alone? When did she take in servants?"
"And they're vampires. Look at the maid's eyes, they're blood-red. She's a Dead Apostle."
"The White Princess has actually started creating Dead Apostles?"
The White Princess is different from the other True Ancestors, in that she always acts alone. The only time she created a Dead Apostle was when she created Roa, and then she chased Roa for so many years. Everyone in the magic world knows about this.
But now, the White Princess has actually taken the initiative to create a vampire?
The magic world has never seen Leticia, this vampire, so they all believe that Leticia was created by the White Princess, otherwise they wouldn't possibly not know.
In this way, the Black Princess, with her subordinates, and the White Princess, also with her "subordinates," walked to the intersection of the stairs in the middle together.
After the two sides gathered together, the Black Princess and the White Princess walked forward together.
On the surface, the two people seem to have a very harmonious relationship, but in reality, they are always spraying each other in their hearts. The reason why they have become like this is because Wang Xiaoming's existence suppresses them. Even at ordinary times, as long as they are not in front of Wang Xiaoming, the two of them will spray each other, but it will not be like before, where they would fight as soon as they met.
The two walked to the middle of the hall together, the White Princess stopped, and the Black Princess continued to walk forward two steps, showing a perfect smile to everyone present.
"I am very happy that everyone has accepted my invitation to come here to attend this banquet."
"I think everyone should understand what it means to accept the invitation to come to me."
"Considering that some of you may have heard some inaccurate information and came here, I, as the host, have the obligation to explain, so I hereby announce it again."
The Black Princess also understands what kind of shape various previous promotions have mutated into. However, those mutated promotions were tacitly approved by the Black Princess in order to get as many magicians as possible to come here so that she could get more information.
After all, rumors sometimes spread faster than the truth.
