143The Last Holy Grail

Holy Grail of the Moon.

Leon looked around at the new Holy Grail, which was shot by Isabel, smelted by Antok, and completed by Gunlar, the wise men of the forest, and the Great Saint Agnac..

"It's great stuff.?"

Beatrice smiled and looked at the Moon Chalice held by Leon..

"I never thought that asking Gunlar how to grow seedlings would lead to such a big problem.."

The reason I originally tried to open the gate and enter was to find a way to grow Gunlar's seedlings from Gunlar and other forest wise men..

Who would have thought it would lead to the final Holy Grail plan?.

"Although the work turned out to be different from the original goal, it was an unexpected harvest.."

"I see.."

This is definitely a completely unexpected return. I never thought the final Holy Grail plan would come to fruition..

"It was a plan drawn up by Gunlar and other wise men of the forest a long time ago.."

The Final Holy Grail Plan. The basics are similar to the plan of transplanting a pantheon into a lion's heart..

"The Lionheart Plan.?"

"It's some kind of ark plan. It was about betting the future of the world on the being with the ‘highest chance of survival’.."

ark plan.

If the world suffered irreversible damage and was destroyed, what should be preserved as the top priority was selected..

First, it goes without saying that it is a pantheon..

Temple of the gods. Their place of residence is not just a matter of faith, but is also connected to the survival of the world..

If the pantheon is destroyed immediately, the power of the gods who maintained paradise will disappear, which means the underworld of the world of Leon will disappear..

"That's why the gods decided to take refuge in Jim's lion heart. Because it was possible to survive in a place that produces its own holy power.."

This was also a gamble that would all come to nothing if Leon died..

"The gamble paid off."

"That's right. And the final Holy Grail plan is……."

Leon recalled a memory from a long time ago. He said that although it may be recent for Beatrice, it was planned for him over 200 years ago..

"During the final battle, we lacked every single one of our forces. I couldn't afford to sacrifice someone to forge a single relic.."

"surely……."

In order to forge the Holy Grail of the Moon, all of the wise men of the forest, the Great Saint Agnak, and the Priestess of Purity, Isabel, had to sacrifice themselves..

Although he is a warrior, he includes the Holy Grail Knight, Sir Antok, and his guardian, Sir Gilliam..

Lionheart at the time probably didn't have the time to replace that much manpower..

"When the founder of the kingdom receives the Holy Grail, it is the energy of the sun and the power of thunder. And they say that Ariana completed all the lights together.."

Leon took out the Holy Grail. A treasure handed down from the first Lionheart. This impressive golden chalice gives the opposite impression..

When Leon infused holy power into this Holy Grail, brilliant light began to surge. And it forms a curtain of light so bright that it illuminates the dawn of the night as bright as day..

Beatrice knew well the power this Holy Grail displayed..

"It instantly heals any wound and creates holy water that causes all kinds of miracles. It is a sacred object that is absolutely necessary to become a Holy Grail Knight.."

"That's right. It is thanks to this that the Holy Grail came to symbolize the founding of the kingdom. Above all, the holy water of the Holy Grail is essential for becoming a Holy Grail Knight.."

Leon floated the Holy Grail and the Holy Grail of the Moon in one place. Surprisingly, the two chalices floating in the air attracted each other and stuck together like magnets, and the moon chalice began to melt into the chalice..

"Your Majesty, this is?"

"The Holy Grail of the Moon is what the Holy Grail lacks... So to speak, it is a sacred object for improvement. Materials for forging the ‘Final Holy Grail’ according to the needs of the times.."

The Holy Grail, now completely combined, did not look much different from before..

The degree to which the Moon Chalice pattern is additionally engraved on the brilliant golden chalice..

"If you think about it, the power of the Holy Grail of the Moon is……."

Beatrice remembered the miracle that occurred when the Holy Grail was completed..

"An object that is closer to destruction rather than restoration of life. It's to improve the existing Holy Grail.."

"That's right."

According to Hari's testimony, even the Great Demon was destroyed by a direct hit from the light wave of the Holy Grail of the Moon..

It is a range-type demon destruction weapon that is not simply about the size of its power. As soon as it touches, the half-hearted devil is sure to be destroyed..

"It's definitely a hard counter for the devil. If you just go around the city holding this Holy Grail and set off waves, all the hidden demons will die.."

What makes demons so annoying is their numbers and their ability to blend into human society before their immortality..

They make contracts with humans to encourage the spread of evil, and they even disguise themselves as humans to infiltrate..

Right now, Beatrice was forced to run an extreme system like the Inquisitor, as demons of pleasure and corruption were hiding in the city..

And such extreme groups inevitably cause backlash from citizens and create unfair victims..

The power of the improved Holy Grail was able to dramatically increase its efficiency..

"for a moment… Your Majesty, you said it was part of the ark plan.?"

Apart from this, there is another real purpose. Beatrice remembered why all the wise men of the forest had to sacrifice their life force to complete the Holy Grail..

"'Accumulation of ‘species’ and ‘knowledge’."

"……!"

──────

One by one, Leon explained the hidden power of the Moon Holy Grail. And that's…….

"It is the power that makes the rebuilding of a new kingdom possible.."

"That's only possible when Gunlar's seedlings grow. Obtaining the final Holy Grail and various holy objects may have been an unexpected harvest, but the original purpose must have been forgotten.?"

Beatrice smiled brightly at those words..

"Of course. Gunlar gave clear advice.."

The place where Leon brought Gunlar's seedling was the world of the dead..

Therefore, Gunlar's seedlings can only grow in paradise..

Beatrice told her how to grow the seedlings she found out from Gunlar, and although it was not an easy method, it was definitely possible with Leon and Beatrice..

In that case, the issue regarding Gunlar's seedlings is settled..

There will be quite difficult conditions to make it bloom, but for now, it is something that can be solved somehow with the Holy Grail of the Moon..

"Biche. Shameless, I have more to ask of you.."

"Please tell me. Your Majesty is in a position where you can order me anything.."

When Beatrice saved the souls of the knights who supported her until the very end, she owed Leon a debt she could not repay..

More than anything, it was Leon who saved her from degenerating into a hateful demon..

She felt so much indebted to Leon that she considered herself his vassal before being queen..

"A king does not order others. Don't make me into a person without a burden.."

"Your Majesty's stubbornness is not something I can dissuade.."

This is a law that you yourself are aware of. However, Leon does not view stubbornness negatively..

Principle Principle. Unwavering standards and the steadfastness in carrying them out may seem frustrating at times, but that is how a king can be objective..

"Please continue your research on the gate. We'll support you with whatever you need. There are two people to find."

"I think one person knows.."

Beatrice recalled a person whom Leon had mentioned once before and whom she had also encountered. And I heard about him at this gate as well..

"The Holy Grail Knight disappeared from the Plains of Landolce."

Lionheart is an absolute powerhouse, said to be the strongest Holy Grail Knight..

Vulcan, the Holy Grail Knight of War and Flame.

"Jim is sure he survives. If Jim had ascended early, he would most likely have been the next Lionheart King.."

Is it that much?.

The Lionheart King was not chosen simply based on strength..

A being who must be recognized by all gods and whose nobility and faith must be proven..

Of course, since it was a time of war, I understand if military force was given priority..

Vulcan's strength was such that even Beatrice, who only watched him, was surprised..

"If he's alive, he's probably somewhere at the gate. And there are also objects that can be used as coordinates to find him.."

A ceremonial dagger that Leon obtained from Vulcan, whom he encountered while clearing the gate of Zereah's holy relic convoy. That was enough as a coordinate to find Vulcanus..

No, it should have been enough to be exact..

"Your Majesty, we already failed to find Lord Vulcan with that dagger.."

"Yes. Is there a lack of specificity in the coordinates, or is there simply a lack of magic stones?."

Opening the gate requires a huge amount of magic stones. From the Holy Grail Knight Zereah's convoy to the gate to the territory of the Slaughter Duke Akasha, and even the colorless gate with the final battle of Lionheart as the background..

The enormous amount of magic stones consumed was not a quantity that could be easily supplied even by a pantheon that cleared all the surrounding gates..

"There is some hypothesis about that. I'll do some more research and tell you.."

And one person left.

This was confirmed by Leon by comparing it with the heroic spirits who ‘entered paradise’ in the last war..

There was no Geobrick in Paradise.

There was no Vulcan in Paradise.

and one more.

The child did not enter paradise.

"Karina. Carina Dragonia. Nor did I meet my wife in the paradise of the gods.."

I want to find my daughter. If there is hope, I don't want to give up. Leon's wish was very natural..

"I'll find a way. It may be painful, but please wait.."

"Really. Lord Spinner and Bice I wonder what Jim would have been like without you.."

"It's all Your Majesty's personal attire.."

"Thank you for saying that.."

He expressed his gratitude by kissing the back of Leon's hand. She did not refuse the highest courtesy that a knight could pay a lady..

"I will grant you anything you wish. Please don't refuse my thanks.."

"If you say that much……."

Beatrice touched her lips with her white fingers. After thinking for a long time, she smiled and said.

"I'll tell you later."

It was like a blank check, but Beatrice decided to look away..

* * * *

South Korea's President Ahn Dong-gil is a moderately corrupt and moderately just politician..

Thanks to the destroyers of democracy that recently invaded this Earth, he has awakened to the blood of his grandfather, who was an independence activist, and his father, who was a democracy fighter, but he basically maintained the right line in everything he did..

In that sense, the recent drastic change in the balance of the domestic military group is an embarrassment for the president..

"No, are these guys crazy?."

First of all, the group he disparages as a group of private soldiers is the hunter guild..

A group of superhumans with power that surpasses that of most armies..

Of course, it is not to the extent that the national army is pushed by force by a small group of superhumans, but the problem is the gate security crisis caused by their absence..

What was the reason for the privatization of the Hunter Association in Japan and the rampage of S-class hunters with omnipotent power until recently??

This is because there is no alternative to attacking the gate..

The number of S-class hunters guaranteed the security and safety of the country, and this was also linked to stock prices and real estate..

Don't you just look at the fact that the once brilliant London and Shanghai have become barren without even a gate being blocked?.

Even so, when it comes to S-class hunters, all kinds of powerful countries are pouring money into recruiting them, so it is a long shot to touch a large guild that includes S-class hunters..

Wasn't the same thing true for Korea's teenage guilds, often using overseas asylum as a card to control the government?.

'Association President Oh Kang-hyuk's choice was not wrong. It's not really wrong…….'

In that situation, Leon appeared and the pantheon was established..

Association President Oh Kang-hyuk fully supported Manshinjeon and tried to use it as a trump card against the top 10 guilds..

The choice was never wrong. Compared to the teenage guilds that hold wealth and power and control the government, the pantheon is a group that operates based on one person's principles..

If you just please the leader Leon, you can kill two birds with one stone as you can protect national security without making the 10th guild feel bad..

How hot is the religion he spread? The blessed crops alone are now a valuable product that the whole world demands to be exported to Korea..

In many ways, the pantheon is a duck that lays golden eggs, bringing enormous benefits to the nation. The problem is…….

'A guild that was founded less than half a year ago has already grown to this level..'

The scale is already comparable to that of a teenage guild..

In addition, Hanbit Palace has recently become an affiliate of its own, effectively destroying the balance of the top 10 guilds..

Is this all it is? As Japan's All-Japanese Association was completely collapsed by public opinion, the newly established Japan Hunter Association is made up of mostly loyal followers of the Pantheon..

In fact, it is no exaggeration to say that the Japanese Hunter Association has been subjugated to the pantheon..

The power of the Hunter Guild is also powerless, but public support is also rising to a frightening level..

-After believing in the pantheon, I was cured of cancer..

-Honestly, if you follow the doctrine of the pantheon, you will go to heaven.?

- Have you seen the Code of Light and Justice? Domestic politicians and public officials must all believe this. Anyone who violates this will be punished and left behind..

-Goddess of life and abundance, haha. Since my grandfather Demera became a priest, the whole family ate blessed crops for every meal..

-It's a true story that all diseases can be cured.?

-Hair loss is cured.

-As of today, the National Hair Loss Association dedicates allegiance to the Pantheon. Hail Lionheart!!

The growth rate of the pantheon is too fast. Both military force and religious power are growing so rapidly that they are excessive..

And the side effects were appearing all over the country..

Right now, just in today’s regular briefing,──

- dismissal! There is public opinion that state officials should become believers of Ariana, the goddess of light and justice. What do you think??

'No, from what I hear, they are really funny guys. Even though I clearly know that you go to church!'

He deviated from the position, saying that as a public official he could not be biased towards a specific religion, but the public response was not good..

-Why doesn’t Dong-gil trust Ariana??

-It's because my back is sore. What happened to the Daejoong Group scandal last time??

-How can you trust the goddess of justice when billions of people are being harmed?

'These bastards…!''

Of course, I am eating it later. But where can the political world be so clean??

Passing over what needs to be done flexibly while covering up some shit is the way the country and the economy survive.!

"dismissal…!"

"what!"

As he remembered the regular briefing, the Chief of Staff came over and reported, as if he knew how the President was feeling..

"that is… The United Nations has contacted me urgently.."

"At the United Nations? What is it all of a sudden??"

Also, as a developed country, we should contribute to the refugee relief fund..

Nowadays, without China and Russia as permanent members, the United Nations has become a friendly meeting place for European nosy people..

Still, since these are people who claim to be a world government, no matter what they ask for, they should be appropriately condescending..

President Ahn Dong-gil thought so until 0.5 seconds before he saw the document, but he could not hide his perplexed expression when he saw the UN's notification..

"……fuck."

I am protecting my dignity as president... To the point where swear words came out before I knew it..

The notice began with the following title:.

「An inspection team was dispatched to investigate allegations of human rights abuses by Pantheon..」

It leaves me speechless.

I really had nothing to say. Really.
