Ch-61: Alexander ‘Cautious’ Gascoigne
Roy recalled: "In the Vatican Library, a book on the records of witch hunting mentioned of a witch art named 'Mystical Indoctrination' that can pass on stored information from one person's mind to another's by exchanging their body fluids... but, unfortunately magic knowledge cannot be passed with this spell, only mortal knowledge..."
"However, I remember a book on 'double cultivation' in Aleister's collection with relating functions. It's just that the knowledge gained is just borrowed, instead of directly becoming my own thing..."
"I can try to modify this magic, let the mystical knowledge stay in my mind for a longer time, and then use my own comprehension to comprehend them before the knowledge disappears."
"It's not difficult to combine these two... It's harder to look for many women who have a lot of knowledge on magick and are willing to pass them on to me. Of course, men are also fine too but, I guess... I will pass."
The Angel who was listening to Roy's words, stiffly turned her head and promptly reminded: "Someone is hiding and watching you."
"Hmm? Is anyone hiding nearby?", although Roy's speech was interrogative, he didn't doubt Aiwass word's but rather scrutinily looked at the circumambient surroundings.
Roy was standing just beside to the Shinjuku Gyoen, a national park covering an area of five hectares.
He is not a occultist who is good at perception, the only perception related ability, 'Eye the Beyond' only has a range of 10 meters, besides, 'Eye the Beyond' is more of a research type ability with functions relatable to an AI microscope. The remaining multitudes of trees and bushes are perfect hiding sites.
'Although Campiones are not good at perception, if someone spies on me at such a close distance, even among spellcasters he/she is definitely a very rare type... well, I could already roughly guessed who it is.'
Roy just mused about it for a moment and guessed who the man hiding in the woods was.
Aiwass didn't point any further information. In the past, Aiwass focused on the world as an 'observer'.
She has only intervened because of Roy's special traits, but the intervention does not mean to completely manage Roy's life. She will only remind Roy when needed and teach him the knowledge he needs when necessary.
The 'third hand' on Roy's right shoulder did not disappear. Although the <Hand of Almighty> can only be used once in a week but as long as the hand is summoned it will still exist for sometime without consuming his mana if he doesn't willingly disperses it.
Moreover, only he knows that the power of the Omnipotent Law of Victory is temporarily unavailable, the 'enemy' doesn't. Additionally, besides the Omnipotent Law of Victory, the 'right hand' also has some other functions.
As Roy thinking how to force out the person, a few clusters of brilliance flew from a distance!
Those were the angels of light summoned by Roy. Though most of them were 'melted' under Marquis's <Flame of Twilight>, some were lucky enough to be left out.
The remaining dozen Angels fluttered beside Roy and surrounded him between them to protect him like loyal guards.
Suddenly a idea ticked in and Roy raised his right hand and chanted the small part of incantation to keep the range only near this park:
"Your Deeds Of Your Sins Have Reached The Lord's Ears! Hellish Sulfur And Heavenly Fire Will Annihilate Everything!"
"<Sin of Sodom>!"
The clouds in the sky churned and turned into burning red clouds, and the vortexes like terrifying landscapes from the depths of the universe seemed to fall from the sky with heavy pressure, as if the sky and the earth were gradually closing down against each other.
At the same time, the ground began to shake, steaming with a sulphurous smell, and followed with cracks, lava and flames of hell gushed out.
With a wave of Roy's 'right hand', the two conceptually opposite fires met and bursted out together.
"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom"
The earth seemed to be roaring in pain, the sky roaring in anger. Under the fire of heaven and earth, this famous royal garden in Tokyo disappeared from existence.
And under the torrent of the fire of heaven and earth, a figure turned into flashes of black lightning and bolted up to the sky from the burning woods.
The figure seemed to be frightened, and without looking back, he launched the 'Godspeed' to scurry away from here. With the speed of that figure, it can be estimated that the figure flew out of Tokyo in the blink of an eye.
"Sure enough, it was Alexander Gascoigne. This guy is a typical planning and then acting type of guy. Without a plan to face myself, he chose to escape. If it was Salvatore Doni, he must have chosen to raise his sword and slashed at me with a loud laugh..."
Roy let out a foul breath, as with using the <Sin of Sodom>, all of his powers this time were really used up. In addition to the remaining mana that can be used to deliver a punch or two with his <Jacob's Limbs>, all other abilities were in a 'cooldown' state.
Now he can be said to be in his weakest state since he became a Godslayer. If there are any Heretic God or Godslayers who come after him, he can only run away.
But the next time, 'May the God have mercy upon my enemies because I won't!'
Fortunately, the only Godslayer nearby who could prove dangerous was the Black Prince Alexander 'Cautious' Gascoigne.
It can be conceived that the scene where he defeated Marquis Voban with a single wave of his 'hand' greatly frightened him. Roy successfully used the gap in information to gain another small 'victory'.
Roy didn't have much notions of joy at his own powers, to directly scare away a Godslayer. He is still an 'ant' who is bigger than others in this vast comos.
At this moment, he commanded with thought and revoked his Divine Authority. With the disappearance of sky and earth fire, what appeared in front of Roy was a magma pool, and a figure floating in front of him.
"Princess Alice... Why did you come here?"
The figure in front of him was Alice's Spirit Body.
"Even the oldest demon king was killed by you, Roy King. Amazing! This news of this battle will shake the entire magic circle."
Princess Alice answered with a light smile with the plethora of adoration in her shining eyes that were hard to conceal.
Her voice was full of admiration and those noble and elegant eyes, gazed on Roy, full of intense curiosity.
Roy did not correct the error in Alice's words. Marquis Voban was not completely 'killed'. He just inquired with fraught:
"...Did something happen?"
"King Roy, you are too smart, but it will make life less fun."
Princess Alice's eyes flashed with charming colors. She stared at Roy's "third hand" on his right shoulder, her expression full of wonder and inquiry.
At the same time, she felt faintly afraid of this weird 'hand'. She shifted her attention and answered:
"Your knights, Erica and Liliana are in trouble. As a witch, I consider myself unique in the world. But in terms of combat power, I can only sigh grievously. If you don't want any tragedy to happen, I suggest to King Roy to better hurry over."
"Erica and Liliana are in trouble? Marquis has already been killed... The power of <Undead Servant> should also have been revoked. With the strength of Erica and Liliana, what trouble can they encounter... Could it be the Japanese History Compilation Committee?"
There was a faint trace of anger on Roy's face as he seethed on his discovery. If the History Compilation Committee really dared to take a shot at his own knights, Roy wouldn't mind letting them know how terrifying a devil's wrath is.
Although now Roy is in his 'weakest' state, but as long as the 'Face of God' and 'Eyes of Sodom' are still there, he is a Godslayer that mortals can never defeat.
