After a few seconds of silence, Lancer looked up at Sei Itō and said, "I'm sorry. That goes against my wishes. I can't agree."
"That's a pity." Sei Itō sighed.
"Sighing too much will only add to our troubles. Let's do our best in this battle." Lancer got into a fighting stance and said with a carefree expression.
"I really don't want to use that method …" Sei Itō said helplessly.
Lancer's expression didn't change when he heard that, but he became more careful in his heart.
Then, he heard a strange chant from Sei Itō's mouth.
"One is all, all is one."
"From one beginning, all changes are born."
"All things cycle, heaven and earth return to one."
"Heaven and earth split apart, one heart is born!"
Then, a huge amount of magic power exploded from Sei Itō's body, stirring up the void and creating ripples that quickly spread out and enveloped Sei Itō and Lancer. They suddenly disappeared from the real world.
"This is …" Alice Phil murmured thoughtfully.
"… Great Forbidden Spell, Inherent Barrier?!" Sola exclaimed with a shocked expression.
At this moment, the scenery inside was constantly changing. Sometimes it was high mountains, sometimes it was blue waves, sometimes it was winter snow, and sometimes it was thunder and lightning. In this space that was constantly changing, Sei Itō and Lancer were suspended in the air.
"World of Renewal!" Sei Itō said lightly.
"It's actually an Inherent Barrier." Lancer looked at the constantly changing scenery around him. A wry smile appeared on his face.
An Inherent Barrier was a great magic spell that could materialize the scenery in one's mind. Its effect and power were extremely close to magic, so it was classified as a forbidden spell by the Magician's Association.
Its effect was that it could change the surrounding space into something completely different from the real world, just like opening up a small world in the real world.
In other words, the Inherent Enchantment replaced oneself and the world with one's own mental landscape without changing one's realm.
This magic was a subspecies of fantasy materialization. Originally, it was an ability that only elves and demons could use. However, after years of research, magicians developed magic that could create a personal Imagined World. Therefore, some high-level magicians had the possibility of creating an inherent enchantment.
For example, the current twenty-seventh Death Apostle. Most of the members had their own inherent barriers.
However, it was only a possibility. Therefore, apart from a small number of magicians with good strength and luck, most of the superior magicians were still unable to create their own enchantments.
The main reason for that was that humans could not gain the acknowledgment of the World like nature elves, and would be corrected by the World's corrective power when they opened an inherent boundary. Thus, a large amount of Mana was required to successfully use an Inherent Barrier. Because of this. As a result, even if the magicians were to successfully establish their own boundaries, they would not be able to maintain it for too long. Usually, a few minutes was the limit.
"Although I still can't fully release it, it should be enough to deal with you." Sei Itō stretched his arms and legs and chuckled.
"I'll wait and see." Lancer replied casually.
"Then first. Thunder. "Sei Itō smiled and said softly.
"Rumble."
In an instant, a large amount of purple-green lightning filled the space and bombarded Lancer like rain.
Lancer's expression changed slightly. He waved the two spears in his hands and stabbed rapidly, resisting the bombardment of the lightning that seemed to have the power of a great magic spell.
Seeing this, Sei Itō chuckled and pointed at Lancer who was resisting the lightning.
In the next instant, the lightning bolts seemed to have a mind of their own and changed their forms spontaneously. They intertwined with each other and turned from scattered lightning into purple-green energy ropes. As Lancer blocked the lightning bolts, the ropes wrapped around Lancer's body.
Lancer's eyes narrowed. He continued to use the Yellow Rose in his left hand to resist the lightning bolts that were shooting toward him. At the same time, the Red Rose in his right hand stabbed rapidly, hitting the ropes of light that were entangling his body.
Under the attack of Lancer's two spears, the lightning bolts and ropes of light exploded and turned into lightning bolts that melted into the air. Then, they turned into new lightning bolts and continued to attack Lancer.
Lancer had no choice but to continue resisting the bombardment of the boundless lightning bolts with all his might.
However, at this moment, a sense of frustration that he might lose silently surged into his heart.
"It seems like it's going to end here. It's a pity that I can't obtain the final victory for my Lord. However, this might be the best outcome for me. " Lancer's eyes were slightly dazed as he thought to himself. A smile appeared on his face, as if his wish had been fulfilled.
"Boom!"
At this moment, a thick lightning bolt suddenly shot out from the sea of lightning and blasted straight toward Lancer who was in a daze.
Lancer, whose mind had been tempered thousands of times, immediately got out of his dazed state the moment he felt the danger. He waved his hand to disperse the lightning bolts around him. Then, he turned around and used the insight granted by the Mind's Eye to stab the Red Rose in his hand.
The red spear pierced through the air and brought out a pale white wind barrier that was visible to the naked eye. It broke through the layers of lightning bombardment and went straight for the thick lightning bolt.
However, the moment the two were about to collide, the thick lightning bolt suddenly twisted strangely and suddenly turned into a ferocious lightning dragon. It wrapped around Lancer's spear like a snake and continued to bombard Lancer.
Lancer was slightly shocked. He did not hesitate to stab the yellow spear in his hand at the lightning dragon.
However, this way, Lancer's defense in other directions immediately became empty. Therefore, Sei Itō did not need to give any instructions. The dense lightning bolts bombarded Lancer's body one after another.
"Boom, boom, boom, boom …"
A series of thunderous roars immediately sounded in the space.
Seeing this, Sei Itō's mind moved slightly and dispersed the lightning in the sky.
Then, after three to four seconds, the energy smoke surrounding Lancer's body dispersed by itself and revealed Lancer's figure. However, compared to before, Lancer's body was now full of scorch marks left by the lightning bombardment. His entire body was emitting green smoke. He half-knelt on the ground while holding the spear with one hand.
"Admit defeat. In this space, you can't win against me." Sei Itō looked at Lancer who was not far away and said in a calm voice.
"My wish is to be loyal to a king and do my duty until the end. Therefore, my only choice is to fight to the death or kill all the enemies of my lord. You don't have to waste your breath. "Lancer replied in a firm tone.
"If that's the case. Then I will use my own method to make you surrender. "Sei Itō said indifferently.
As soon as he finished speaking. Sei Itō's body flashed slightly and disappeared from Lancer's sight.
Lancer's eyes focused when he saw this. He stood up shakily from the ground again. Holding the two spears, he looked around vigilantly and searched for Sei Itō's traces.
One second, two seconds, three seconds …
At this moment, six flat yellow beams of light suddenly flew out from the void and shot toward Lancer from six different directions at the same time.
"Pa, pa …"
Lancer waved his two spears and shattered the six yellow beams into pieces one by one.
However, before he could stop, another three triangular yellow light beams shot toward him.
Lancer did not hesitate and continued to block them with the magic-breaking Wild Rose.
Then, light ropes, fireballs, lightning bolts, chains, and other objects shot toward Lancer one after another. Lancer's movements were still the same. He used his two spears to destroy all kinds of strange attacks.
However, as soon as Lancer used the anti-magic Wild Rose to extinguish a crimson fireball, a murky dark light flashed in front of his eyes.
Lancer quickly narrowed his eyes to prevent his eyes from being hurt by the strong light. However, Lancer immediately felt dizzy and his consciousness became blurry … If he did not quickly use his spear to support his body, he would have fallen to the ground.
Lancer forced himself not to fall into a coma. He opened his eyes and looked forward.
There, accompanied by a blur in the air, Sei Itō's figure appeared.
"Sweet dreams." Ito Sei slowly walked to the front of Lancer, who was still trying to stand up, smiled slightly, raised his hand, and shot out a turbid light.
The next moment, Lancer closed his eyes and fell heavily to the ground.
"Bang."
"As expected, the Kido that controls the soul is the most effective against Heroic Spirits." Sei Itō looked at Lancer who was knocked out by the mixed Kido — Bai Fu and muttered to himself with a smile.
Then, he bent down and lifted the unconscious Lancer in his hand. He removed the enchantment and reappeared with Lancer in front of Sora, Alice Phil, and Sakura Enaka.
"How … is it … possible …!?" Looking at Lancer in Sei Itō's hand, Sora murmured in disbelief.
"Let's go." Sei Itō ignored the change in Sora's expression and glanced at Alice Phil and Sora indifferently.
Alice Phil, who had the consciousness of a prisoner, did not dare to hesitate. She reached out and pulled Sora, who was still in shock, and followed behind Sei Itō with Sakura Enaka. They walked toward the Grand Hyatt Hotel.
Ten minutes later, the group of four arrived at the Grand Hyatt Hotel. They entered the hotel through the safety passage behind the Grand Hyatt Hotel and climbed the stairs to the 24th floor where Kenneth was.
This was a long and tiring journey. Fortunately, they were not ordinary people. In addition, Sakura Enaka, the only one who might be a burden, was still in Sei Itō's arms. She did not need to climb the stairs herself, so it did not take long for the group to successfully reach the 24th floor. They exited the safety passage and came to the corridor.
Then, they walked along the corridor and found Room 2408 that Kenneth mentioned on the phone.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Sei Itō reached out and knocked on the door.
But after ten seconds, the door still did not open.
Sei Itō frowned and knocked on the door again.
This time, it still took ten seconds. Just when Sei Itō was a little impatient and was about to call Kenneth, the door of Room 2408 finally opened slowly with a soft "creak". From behind, a blond man dressed in black trousers and a black shirt with an anxious and irritable expression appeared – Kenneth Elmeloy Akipolude.
"Good evening, Director Kenneth." Sei Itō greeted with a smile.
Kenneth's expression was ugly as he twitched the corner of his mouth, but he did not say anything.
"Aren't you going to invite us in?" Sei Itō raised his eyebrows and reminded.
The latter's eyes twitched slightly, and he stepped aside to let them in.
Seeing this, Sei Itō did not hesitate and walked into the room with Sakura Enaka, Alice Phil, and Sora, who had the same complicated expression.
"Bang."
After everyone had entered the room, Kenneth closed the door and entered the room as well.
"Kenneth, let's start our deal." Sei Itō, who threw the unconscious Lancer aside, turned around, took out a parchment scroll from his arms, and handed it to Kenneth while looking at him.
Kenneth's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak. His expression was full of struggle as he reached out and took the scroll. Then he took it in front of him and unfolded it.
In an instant, a few small paragraphs of dark text came into Kenneth's eyes.
"Self-coercive testimony.
"Binding Technique. Object – Kenneth Elmeloy Akipolude. Swear by Akipolude's seal, on the premise that the following conditions are met, the contract will become a commandment and bind the object without exception.
Oath: The ninth generation heir of the Akipolude family, Kenneth Elmeloy Akipolude, voluntarily gives up his participation in this Holy Grail War and voluntarily transfers the ownership of Lancer to Sakura Enaka. During and after the event, he will not pursue any form of responsibility against Sei Itō and Sakura Enaka.
Condition: Confirm the safety and freedom of Sora Nazerei Sofia.
Binding Technique. Object – Sei Itō.
Oath: Sei Itō's intention to kill, harm, and act against Kenneth Elmeloy Akipolude and Sora Nazerei Sofia will be permanently prohibited.
Condition: Confirm that Sakura Enaka obtains the ownership of Lancera. "
The last position was where both parties signed the contract. There was already Sei Itō's name there.
Kenneth looked up at his fiancée, Sora, and walked silently to the desk. He took out a quill and a small bottle of magic ink, dipped the quill in the ink, and signed his name at the only remaining blank space at the bottom of the scroll.
