Roland tore open the amniotic membrane and looked around. Every scene in his eyes looked so vivid and moving.
Through the eyes of those who were looking at him, he saw what he was like now.
It has a ferocious and terrifying body, scales with beautiful metallic luster, sharp bones like curved blades, and iron-like muscles slowly rising and falling under the scales.
He swung his tail excitedly. Every swing left a sound like an explosion in the air, and every exploratory twitch left a deep groove on the ground that was deep enough to trap people.
Seeing the noble demon in front of him, Angra Mainyu subconsciously expanded his body. Having once been called a demon, he did not want to be surpassed. However, the recovery speed of the evil in this world that was completely destroyed by the holy sword could only make him the same size as Roland at most.
"If this continues, I will die..."
Angra Mainyu realized the current situation, and after Roland recovered, the situation was reversed again.
Severely injured, it was unable to defeat the combined forces of the Holy Sword Master and Roland. However, facing Angra Mainyu's angry glare, Roland did not turn his gaze in his direction. Instead, he spread out his palm and looked at the dragon talisman that was already full of cracks and continuously emitting white light.
The essence of the power of the Holy Grail of Heaven that can realize the third salvation has been completely absorbed by this greedy talisman. With the help of the nature of the soul's perpetual motion machine, the source of eternal energy has finally regained its glory.
The dragon talisman floated from Roland's hand into the air, then exploded in a scattered white light. A dragon with a similar soul state to the Shendu, but its entire body made of flames, circled its body and slowly emerged from the white light.
"That is... a display of the power of the Talisman."
As the first pioneer to liberate the power of the talisman, Darnic immediately recognized the truth of this scene, but it was different from the way he devoured Enkidu and then used the power of the Holy Grail to attach himself to the talisman and use the body of the Servant to place this power, which was similar to changing to a simpler sealing shell.
The seal of the spell was completely broken, and its power was restored to its peak. The proud posture was the best proof of this. As far as Danic knew, the only person who would be so deliberate and spend so much time studying how to release the divine power was that person.
"Great! My prize is getting closer!"
Matou Zouken was surrounded by insects and flew into the air, looking at the free flame dragon with eager eyes. As it expected, the power of the third law was successfully swallowed by the spell, becoming a safer perpetual motion machine. Now, as long as this divine power is swallowed, he will get the eternal life and powerful power he has always dreamed of!
At this critical moment, even though he knew that the servants and the evil of this world were watching him, Matou Zouken rushed towards the flying divine power with his real body like a gambler who was desperate.
The clone cannot bear the essence of this power. Even the servant cannot understand the unknown situation. He is the only one who knows that this divine power will be released. Now, taking advantage of this foresight, he has taken the lead!
The divine power seemed to realize this and took the initiative to fly in his direction and soon rushed in front of him.
At this moment, even the shrewd Zouken Matou could not hide the joy on his face. He opened his arms, ready to welcome his new life.
"Burning divine power..."
"——It belongs to me!"
The huge claws tossed Zouken Matou and his swarm of insects aside like pushing away garbage. Roland walked forward and exposed his chest.
The Flame Dragon didn't even look at Matou Zouken, and flew into Roland's body like a swallow throwing itself into someone's arms.
In an instant, Roland's entire body was covered in golden light. The air moved without wind, creating cyclones that spread out and swept up everything around them.
Roland's pupils became brighter and brighter, and there seemed to be red lava flowing in the bottom of his eyes. Orange flames spread out from his eyes, condensing without dissipating. In the depths of the blood-red color, the mark of the dragon talisman also emerged.
"roar--!"
Roland roared excitedly. The power of the Dragon Talisman brought inexhaustible strength to this body. It was like adding fuel to the fire demon's flames. A ball of fire naturally ignited in his hands and he threw it out at will.
"Feel the burning sensation!"
On this ground eroded by black mud, the power of explosion still took the dominant position, allowing balls of fire to burn wildly in the malicious curse.
"ah?"
Perhaps it was because everything happened too smoothly and naturally, or perhaps it was because the impact of his dream being shattered right before his eyes was too intense, Matou Zouken could only murmur blankly, and then, without paying any attention to the current situation, he rushed to Roland, who had turned into a dragon, with his real body and questioned him.
"Roland! We had an agreement..."
Roland looked at the little bug in front of him with disdainful eyes, extinguished the flame on the tip of his claws, placed him against his chest, and made a matter-of-fact sound.
"I am a noble dragon and a demon wizard,
——It is well known that I do not keep my promises! "
"I will destroy you!"
Amid Roland's ruthless words, Matou Zouken's defense was completely broken, causing the insect swarm to emit a loud hissing sound.
But now, facing such a weak force, Roland no longer had the desire to watch the insect struggle. He showed a mocking expression and his tone was cold, like a king passing judgment.
"Die, bug!"
The flickering flames flashed and disappeared, burying Matou Zouken's dreams, life, and past.
At the beginning, Roland had to be cautious in dealing with this monster that had lived for five hundred years, but now, crushing it to death did not feel much more difficult for him than stepping on an ant.
"This is the first one. Now it's time to get my other strength back."
"Danik, buy me some time!"
When Angra Mainyu saw Roland walking towards him, his face changed drastically, and he quickly controlled Darnic to suffer for him first.
Although his face was full of resistance, Darnic's body took the initiative to move towards Roland. From the moment he fell into the Holy Grail, he was destined to be controlled by others, just like the artificial humans were to him.
After seeing what happened to Matou Zouken, Danic did not dare to hold back and launched the ultimate means that he had originally prepared for his own escape.
"Fire!"
"boom--!!!"
With a roaring sound, rows of missiles flew out and attacked the direction of the disappeared Enzou Mountain!
As a very modern magician, Darnic had thought of using the power of the German military to grab the Holy Grail as early as sixty years ago. How could he forget this traditional art now?
"Someone is talking about opening fire?"
Looking at the barrage of bullets coming straight from the pre-dawn sky, Roland turned his head and fearlessly spit out a stream of flames towards the incoming attack.
Seeing this scene, Darnic showed a smug smile. Using simple flames to detonate missiles would only cause a more serious chain reaction. As long as he could take advantage of this opportunity to make the opponent have a flaw, he might be able to find a chance to replace this servant's body with Roland's. This way, not only can he get rid of the control of the evil of this world, but he can also ascend to heaven in one step!
However, Darnic did not hear the expected explosion. He looked up in surprise and saw that the flying missile was covered by the flames and could not even make a secondary explosion. It turned into ashes in the amazing light and heat.
"Boring little gadget..."
Roland spit out sparks and looked at Darnic with a playful look, "Now, do you have any tricks?"
"You forced me to do this!"
Darnic roared, and with the help of the power of the Servant's body, he rushed to Roland, stretched out his hands, and a different light flashed in his eyes.
"I also have a spell that can destroy you!"
The mark of the sheep slowly emerged in his eyes. He wanted to give up his body, release this divine power, and then take advantage of the opportunity of his soul leaving his body to fight for the body!
White light shot straight out of his eyes and rushed towards Roland, trying to get his soul out of his body.
Roland did not dodge or evade this attack that was delivered to his door. The direct soul ray quickly twisted and became limp, continuously pouring into Roland's body, along with the divine power in Darnic's body.
Unable to utter even complete words, after the divine power that served as the main body disappeared, Darnic's soul fragments soon ran out of energy and began to disappear at an alarming speed. After all, he was an accessory that relied on the sheep spell to survive.
"No..."
He used up all his strength and let out a final wail, trying to interrupt the use of the talisman, but at this moment, this divine power would no longer obey him.
"Out of body,"
The replenishment of soul power greatly boosted Roland's spirits. His face was full of joy, with his paws on his waist.
"This birthday present is just what I wanted."
Finally, when the last bit of divine power was absorbed by Roland, Darnic's body collapsed powerlessly. He struggled to reach out to Roland, his eyes full of pleading. Then, he completely lost his life, and the body that he had obtained with all his efforts turned into spirit particles and dissipated.
In a flash, Matou Zouken and Darnic died silently together.
Roland nodded in satisfaction. Although these two magicians were villains in a broad sense, he still admired them very much. They gave everything to help him unlock the spell so that he could directly obtain the essence of the divine power. They also respectfully and proactively brought it to him for him to absorb, just like a stewardess serving wine and caviar to first-class passengers. It was not easy to meet such kind people.
Compared with the two of them, the useless guy who had ten talismans in his hand but still hadn't made any progress stood out.
Roland said nothing more, and walked towards Angra Mainyu step by step with heavy steps.
Faced with such a fact, Angra Mainyu became even more twisted, but fortunately, the gap when Roland absorbed the divine power was enough for him to accumulate some strength to fight back.
Angora Mainyu's current body shape is still similar to Roland's. He did not use the recovered power to shape his body, but poured it all into the talisman.
"Even though you may be the master of these spells, they belong to me now! Stop, Roland, we can rule the world together!"
The panicked Angra Mainyu did not launch a direct attack. Although he had far more talismans than Roland, he realized at this moment that the power of the talisman when it was truly unlocked was a little different from that when it was sealed.
All the ten talismans on his side have passive abilities. How can they compare with Roland? What's more, the other party seems to be the real owner of the talisman.
After much deliberation, Angra Mainyu decided to use reason and emotion to persuade the other party.
"There is no conflict between us that requires a fight. I do want to destroy the humans who deserve to be cursed, but you don't care about them, do you?"
Angra Mainyu began to speak in a very excited tone: "You can't fool me! You don't care about humans at all. Those lowly lives are not worth mentioning compared to you. You can't even take them seriously."
"——So, let's kill all humans together? I have no interest in this world, you can own it after this!"
"What stupid stuff are you talking about."
Roland looked at Angra Mainyu with a speechless expression. "If all humans die, who will I rule? Ruling an empty kingdom is only slightly better than hell."
"How is this possible! How can a creature like you still care about humans!"
Angra Mainyu had a look of disbelief on his face. He was made up of human malice and could not understand Roland's thoughts at all.
Why would they need humans when they are such powerful beings? Even if they have no ill intentions, they probably wouldn't care.
"Of course I care about humans. Everything in the universe is relative in concept, yin and yang, male and female, water and fire. The so-called magic is to integrate and oppose these properties, so as to exert the power that transcends nature."
Roland tilted his head slightly. "Before I began to rule, the fate of mankind was to be my servant and part of my kingdom. From this perspective, I even loved mankind... After all, every one of them was my property, and those who coveted my things would only end up dead!"
"etc..."
Ignoring Angra Mainyu's words, Roland rushed forward, overturned his huge body, and pierced the slimy body with his claws, with orange-red flames brewing in his mouth.
"You stole my talisman and you dare to ask me for something?"
Roland glared at Angra Mainyu as if he was an idiot. "Now, you despicable thief, meet the end of your fate."
"——Let the flames purify everything!"
The next moment, a flash of red appeared.
The surging flames boiled the air, and the flames surged out, spreading like the boundless sea, mixed with the sharp whistling of the atmosphere, rushing in all directions, with a violent intent as if to burn everything and devour everything, erupting from Angra Mainyu's body!
