In Type-Moon, people create a magic family lineage

It's more like a 'god'.

Its name is 'Calvarian', a 'true name' derived by Lu Kang from mythology and mysticism, and associated with its own conception. It is a 'dragon' born from the remnants of the end times, burning everything in the world.

Although they are living beings, they do not seem to possess much self-awareness at present.

Only the instinct to bind Lu Kang.

—Perhaps after Lu Kang inscribes more origins from the soul and pieces together a complete concept, he will gradually possess a complete consciousness and his own true Albion dragon, 'Fairy Lancelot'.

But that's not now.

Under the reflection of the dragon's 'eye' and surrounded by its body, Lu Kang witnessed the entire process of Beowulf's body disintegrating without the slightest hesitation.

If the other party makes the first move, he will not hold back at all.

He came to collect a debt.

I'm not here to ask for a beating.

He then looked towards the deepest part of the jungle, the area that had been obscured by Beowulf's figure.

He said:

"One proactive attack, one life."

"how?"

"Want to try again, Aozaki Touko...or should I call you senpai?"

clap clap clap!

The response to his voice came from the depths of the jungle, illuminated by the furnace fire, a clear and loud clapping sound.

It was also a figure that strolled out from that deep area.

"Impressive, impressive. I've never seen Luger so thoroughly and directly defeated."

A clear, slightly swaying voice carried the sound of a tall, graceful figure. Her short, shoulder-length, bright red hair cascaded down her cheeks, framing a delicate, intellectual face adorned with glasses. Gemstone earrings dangled from her earlobes. She wore a dark green coat with a dark scarf draped over her chest, creating a full, rounded silhouette. Her waist was slender, and her hands patted gently. The hem of her coat parted to reveal her tight-fitting shorts that accentuated her rounded hips, while her legs, encased in black stockings, displayed a graceful curve.

Her steps were unsteady, and a smile played on her lips. She seemed to have no hostility whatsoever—even though the strongest primordial demon she had just commanded was defeated without even being able to fight back, and even though she herself was missing her strongest combat power.

She remained calm and composed, showing no signs of panic.

There was only surprise at the abilities displayed by the newcomer: "No chanting, no preparation, magic performed in an instant—it seems you are the Clock Tower student who recently appeared and was defined as the successor to 'Louis.'"

She clearly observed the entire battle just now.

The news that 'Louis's' successor appeared at the Clock Tower may not be known to everyone in the mystical world, but for those at the pinnacle, there are many ways to glean information about it.

But it was clear that she only knew Luvist.

That's all I can recognize.

She looked at the 'dragon' swirling around Lu Kang with some confusion.

“But I don’t recall Luvist possessing the ability to command ‘Dragon-shaped Fantasy Species’—and such a powerful one at that!”

According to the information Aozaki Touko possessed, Luvis had at most summoned 'phantom spirits'.

That's not the same concept as fantasy species.

Let alone fantasies that exist in this modern world, fantasies even older than Ruger's?

"Do you think I would say that, senior?" Lu Kang thought to himself, and the dragon's figure disappeared. The red light faded, and the darkness of the sky once again covered the messy jungle.

“No,” Aozaki Touko replied, “but that doesn’t stop me from asking, does it, junior Luvist?”

"But I really didn't expect Kenneth to send someone like you to collect a debt. Ruger probably won't 'wake up' anytime soon, and my safety isn't guaranteed either... It's just a little extra gem magic ore, right? I already said I'd pay after this experiment... I'm practically his junior too, you know, so unreasonable..."

A young, intellectual-looking woman wearing glasses spoke with slightly parted red lips, almost in a nagging tone.

Her tone was calm, but also seemed somewhat helpless.

He seems to have completely lost the demeanor one would expect from a former Grand Magician who is now on the list of dangerous figures to be sealed away.

But Lu Kang would never forget why the other party was included in the sealing list.

They would not believe the other party's seemingly weak words or the fake peaceful demeanor they were displaying.

Those who reach the Grand rank are all magicians at the pinnacle of their era.

Those who can be sealed and designated must possess the most powerful, dangerous, and mysterious power.

From ancient times to the present, there has never been an exception.

Chapter Ninety-Three: The Crisis of the Werewolf Tribe, the Large-Scale Operation of the Dead Apostles

Among the Grand Rank mages—a select few at the very top of their respective eras—the woman named Aozaki Touko may not be the strongest or the most dangerous, but she is certainly among the most likely to survive.

Its foundation for the Grand Order is based on the modern reconstruction of the rune base from the mythological period, replicating the ancient mystery in the modern era.

However, what he was most adept at and at the pinnacle of was not the power of runes.

Rather, it was the code name for the commission that Lu Kang received from Kenneth—a mysterious profession known as 'Puppeteer'.

She has honed the mysterious art of doll making to its extreme, almost to the point that she can create life and achieve the highest level of alchemy, second only to the alchemy of turning lead into gold, in the field of human transmutation.

She used this skill to create countless versions of herself.

This skill also allowed them to back up countless memories.

It doesn't matter who the original is. When the one who is active encounters danger and dies, another version of her with her memories will immediately be resurrected in a magic workshop in an unknown corner of the world.

It is extremely dangerous, and has almost no respect for the mysterious and taboo.

This is why she was expelled from the Clock Tower and subjected to the seal imposed by the 'Mage Association'.

Such a being, even if it temporarily loses the protection of the strongest fighter like Beowulf the Golden Wolf, would absolutely not be in danger.

Such a guy.

Even Lu Kang, in his current state, would never be underestimated or easily trusted.

Even if she appears weak and 'ordinary'.

"Senior Aozaki, please stop putting on airs—why bother with such pretense when you're a seventy-year-old woman?"

Lu Kang's response seemed like a joke, yet it was also quite blunt.

"Eh... I'm genuinely troubled."

The young woman, who looked to be only around twenty years old, spoke to herself. Her intellectual appearance, wearing glasses, lacked both the aura of a forbidden figure who roamed freely in the mysterious world and the mature demeanor of a bespectacled hermit in the Far East that Lu Kang knew.

She said, "Besides, I'm not even twenty-five years old yet, how can I be a seventy-year-old woman?"

"Younger Luvist's words are really hurtful..."

"Forget it, you've already come all this way. You probably won't let me off easily if you don't collect the debt, right?"

As she spoke, the woman with short orange-red hair turned her body to the side, revealing her full figure, which was wrapped in a dark green coat, clearly in Lu Kang's sight. Her long legs, which extended from the bottom, stood together in an arc, and she pointed to the depths of the forest.

"Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

“My ‘Magic Workshop’”.

The glasses she wore seemed to reflect a faint blue hue behind her eyes, which didn't match her original red eyes.

Allowing others into one's magic workshop can almost be considered a 'provocation'.

But Lu Kang could tell that the magic workshop behind her was really just a magic workshop, not a magic base, nor a mysterious fortress for both external and internal use—it was merely a place for mysterious research, and there was no 'defense structure' whatsoever.

Otherwise, there would be no need for the Golden Wolf to guard outside!

At this moment, a figure formed from silver fluid slowly approached during their conversation.

At this moment.

The 'Moon Spirit Essence Liquid,' a top-tier modern magic costume that was far slower than Lu Kang's, combining offense and defense, and transformed into a maid's form, slowly approached carrying Lu Kang's suitcase.

Upon seeing this figure, Aozaki Touko let out a soft exclamation. She could naturally recognize that this thing was Kenneth's own masterpiece in inheriting the monarchy and laying the foundation for his position. She was surprised by Kenneth's high regard for Lu Kang, even to the point of lending out this thing, and even more surprised by Lu Kang's control over it.

But she didn't ask any more questions.

Lu Kang simply asked, "Is it just a workshop?"

"I thought I'd get to witness my senior defeating many members of the 'Garland Hall' under the Seal Law and Politics Bureau!"

He did not refuse to enter.

After all, there needs to be a suitable place to 'discuss' debt collection, right?

...

Even though they were only a few steps apart, they still failed to take shape.

From another part of the jungle, shattered and fragmented by the golden wolf's claws, came a series of long and rousing howls.

A pack of crouching, human-like 'wolves' suddenly charged forward!

"Aozaki Touko, you owe an explanation for your actions!"

“We have already sold ‘Ruger’ to you, so you should keep your promise and leave this place—”

"We don't have time to deal with you right now, but we won't let you wreak havoc on our homes!"

The leader of the 'werewolfs' paused ten steps away from where Lu Kang and Aozaki Touko were facing each other. He slowly raised his tall upper body, his thick, gray hair fluttering wildly in the wind, and his canine fangs protruding and sharp teeth baring.

Unlike Luger Beowulf, who appears to be a 'werewolf' but is essentially just a fantasy creature formed from pure mystery.

These guys are real mythical beasts, 'wolves among men'.

They are a mysterious race that lives in the northern part of France, hidden in the unknown wilderness plains—not the spirits of the world, nor creatures of fantasy, but real beast-like life forms mixed with a thin layer of fantasy blood.

Lucan was surprised by the appearance of these creatures, having traveled extensively in the 15th century as Viktorvale without ever discovering their existence, and even more surprised by the words they spoke.

So Aozaki Touko just 'bought' Beowulf?

In other words.

Is it true that she hasn't returned to the 'Far East' yet?

According to Lu Kang's recollection, when Aozaki Touko first returned to the Far East after being sealed away, she was accompanied by a golden wolf named Beowulf.

"The timeline has changed?"

It was slightly unexpected, but I didn't think much of it.

The world named after the moon is interwoven with endless parallel universes and infinite world lines, possessing infinite possibilities—as long as the general direction of 'human reason' does not change, minor changes are not significant.

A fleeting look of confusion crossed Lu Kang's face.

Aozaki Touko twitched the corners of her mouth, looking helplessly at the group of werewolves who were 'coming to interrogate' her.

“I didn’t wantonly destroy your dwellings, nor do I not want to leave.” She pointed to the mess around her, where the corpses of fourth-tier Dead Apostles, ‘Night Species,’ were decaying and disappearing at an abnormal speed, but could still be identified by careful observation.

The werewolves turned their gazes and noticed it too.

The leader's eyes narrowed and he couldn't help but speak up: "They actually came here... these damned bastards."

The Wolf and the Vampire.

Whether from various Western classical fantasy stories and novels, or in the context of this real world—they are mortal enemies.

They are natural enemies, destined to fight to the death once they meet!

Chapter 94 (Bonus Chapter): The Blazing Incinerator, Three Fish and Five Cakes, The Divine Relic

To some extent, it wasn't that Aozaki Touko didn't want to leave with the 'Golden Wolf' directly, but rather that she was truly trapped.

Undead beings of at least the fourth rank or higher are constantly appearing.

It hindered her from leaving normally.

Even with the formidable power of Beowulf the Golden Wolf, a large number of them would still pose a significant challenge in breaking out.

She said:

"Although the specifics are unclear, I believe you have all felt it: northern France is shrouded in a vast spell, almost capable of controlling all the Dead Apostles across Europe."

"So, I did not intentionally default on my debt to Lord El-Melloi; I was simply held back."
