The master of this underground space was inviting him to continue forward. Perhaps realizing that the Heroic Spirits should have all gathered by now, he intended to show off his strength before the great battle. Incidentally, he wanted to tell everyone that there was a new master here, and the Holy Grail was under his control.
If the Heroic Spirits launched an attack against him, as long as enough Heroic Spirits were sacrificed, the existence before them could also make a wish to the Holy Grail at the first opportunity.
This represented that the 72 Demon God Pillars would retrieve that man's body on the battlefield immediately. Then, they would complete the transfer of the 72 Demon God Pillars. At that time, the Temple of Time would truly be opened. And the 72 Demon God Pillars would completely achieve immortality and reach the realm of a [Beast].
When one Beast descends upon this world, other Beasts will inevitably appear one after another. In that case, Aslan's wish for retirement would truly go down the drain. So no matter what, the descent of the First Beast must be stopped.
In short, Da Vinci prepared to let her puppet continue deeper. Regardless of how the enemy intended to show off their power and strength, at least right now, these Heroic Spirits had no way to rush over immediately to stop it, did they?
After all, the underground space had already turned into that appearance, representing that everything before them was basically a set outcome. Rather than rushing in panic, it was better to discuss countermeasures before engaging in the decisive battle.
Those who could become Heroic Spirits, with the exception of individual cases among Berserkers, should not be fools. Even if they were not military figures, they had surely seen the world. As long as one was slightly smart, they would not do such a reckless thing.
Da Vinci stroked her chin, and the staff appeared in her hand again. Subsequently, she raised the staff in her hand. The gem composed of X-crystals began to rotate, and then everything her dispatched puppet saw was projected onto the large screen, allowing all Heroic Spirits to see it. Presumably, this was also what the 72 Demon God Pillars wanted all the Heroic Spirits to see.
As the puppet walked step by step towards the depths of the cave, the sound of footsteps echoed constantly in the underground space. Finally, everything before its eyes opened up. The changes in that underground space caused Aslan to spit out the tea he had just drunk directly. Are they afraid that people wandering into the cave won't know there is an extremely special secret inside?
Although the locals had begun to avoid this mountain, fearing that the rumors of Demon Gods being sealed in this mountain were true, for young people, this was also a holy land for adventure. There were many spells hidden by magi in the underground space specifically used to drive away ordinary people. Generally speaking, such spells were pieced together from many small props.
Now that the underground space had turned into this, most of them were probably destroyed given the deformation of the underground. So, just how much trouble are you Demon God Pillars going to cause for the Church's magi later?
Oh... it seems that in the last Holy Grail War, I was the one who caused the biggest trouble for those Church magi.Because basically, the strongest attacks were unleashed by me.
Oh... then it's fine.Anyway, the one busy won't be me, so just pretend I didn't say anything.
However, the Church personnel still needed to be notified as soon as possible to disperse the residents around the original site of Ryuudou Temple. Of course, due to various bizarre legends and the inexplicable gloom remaining on that land, many original residents had already moved to other places. It could be said that the area was basically an abandoned zone now.
That being said, it was still possible to affect the people living here. So, they might as well just relocate everyone from here. Anyway, if they wanted to continue holding the Holy Grail War in the future, this place might also become a dangerous zone.
When the puppet arrived at the center of the underground, Flauros, wearing a green suit and draped in human skin, gently applauded the puppet. Around this underground space, the Demon God Pillars were still gradually eroding the leylines. At this moment, this ritual had not yet been completely finished.
"I did not expect you all to guess our location so quickly. It truly amazes us. Nor did I expect that the Heroic Spirits would unite in such a short time. This truly surprises us. However, that is all it is."
Flauros opened his hands. The surrounding flames jumped gently accompanying his open hands. Those surrounding flames seemed to be catering to the movements of this Demon God. Perhaps this was also a certain true Demon God residing within this body using his own power. After all, the Demon God Pillars at this time definitely had to display their power as much as possible.
"This place is about to become our temple. This place is about to become the initial ground of our long-cherished wish. This place will become the ignition point to burn everything. This place will be reduced to pitch darkness in human history. If you have the guts, come and try to stop us!! Presumably, you already know this much."
Flauros curled the corners of his mouth with bad taste. He bowed gently to the puppet in front of him, or rather, to the magi and Heroic Spirits watching all this through the puppet. "Thank you all for your efforts during this time, presenting a great show for us. Therefore, I shall give you a friendly reminder: your time is running short..."
Of course, whether this "time is running short" was interpreted by the Heroic Spirits as his threat, or as the fact that they were absorbing the leylines to restore the Holy Grail's magical energy, was the Heroic Spirits' business. They only gave this reminder out of bad taste. Even if the Heroic Spirits thought this was their threat, that wasn't bad either.
When the magical energy of the leylines activated the Holy Grail, these Heroic Spirits would surely be able to stage another good show of blaming each other for them.
In the final analysis, this verbal reminder was also a small conspiracy of the 72 Demon Gods. If they could really drive a wedge in the relationship between the Heroic Spirits, that would naturally be for the best. After all, snapping a single chopstick is much easier than snapping a bundle of chopsticks bound together.
"Then, please come in person for our next meeting."
Flauros raised his hand and pinched gently forward. The puppet, which counted for nothing in the eyes of Heroic Spirits, was naturally destroyed directly.
On this side, the video feed in front of the Heroic Spirits flickered twice and vanished without a trace. On the other side, Flauros stroked his chin, looked at the steadily progressing temple, and surmised that the Heroic Spirits probably wouldn't come here immediately. He prepared to go find that blue-haired magus. This might become a surprising move.
