Gamer System in Campione - Chapter 33
🕑 Added 2021-12-02 03:04:28 +0000 UTCA beautiful blonde girl who looked to be about 12 to 13 years old was on top of the building in front of the AMUB headquarters. She was using the [Concealment] spell to hide her from the view of any normal person. Not only that, she used the [Distraction] spell to make anyone look, even briefly in her direction, to distract herself so that no magic user could get through the [Concealment] spell.
The headquarters in front of the girl looked like a seemingly normal building, 10 stories high, with normal workers coming and going to get work done. However, the normal looking building contained a prison in its basement, and the employees in suits who apparently worked in the building could instantly change their attire into more comfortable combat gear.
"It's here" The girl muttered as she looked at the building in front of her.
The girl was not human.
She was a former goddess.
She was a divine ancestor.
She was the Witch Queen.
She possessed the Holy Grail that many sought and the Excalibur of her Lord.
She was Guinevere.
She had tried to summon the sacred land in which her king slept to contact and awaken her master. However, the Dark Prince Alec spoiled her plan by interrupting the ritual, depleting the magical energy stored in the Holy Grail, as well as offsetting her plan by several years. She had contacted the Black Prince Alec and the Wise Princess with an agreement to give the Campione the Holy Grail (even if it was only a fake offer), but was rejected due to her misunderstanding of the nature of the Campione.
In her search for her master, she turned her eyes to the East, the country of Japan.
However, a familiar resonance presented itself some time ago from England.
She and her protector felt the descent of a familiar presence. A fellow knight who served the same Lord. However, the knight's descent into the mortal realm was short-lived, for Guinevere later discovered that the Seventh Campione had killed the knight soon after his arrival.
Suspecting why Sir Gawain chose that moment to appear, she went to investigate and found out about the Campione.
He was a Campione who sought the Holy Grail just like the Dark Prince Alec, but unlike the Fourth Campione, this one sought to destroy the Holy Grail.
And the most worrying thing was that he knew about his master, about the King of the End.
Furthermore he was allied with the White Witch, the only one in this world who could possibly find the location of his lord thanks to her immense power of [Clairvoyance].
For her goal, she had to capture her or make her Campione ally with her, but the girl always stayed with her Campione. Even the place where she slept was moved to the same building as Campione's.
Even if she and her protector attacked the building, they had no doubt that any hostile intentions issued before they even attacked would alert Campione. Besides, even without any power stuff, Guinevere could tell: Alice Louise had a power that could harm a being like her ... or at least keep Guinevere and Sir Knight away until Campione came to their aid.
Even when she was separated from her Campione, there were always agents of Witenagemot to give her a chance to escape.
No, they had to have the patience to attack when the girl was most vulnerable.
And they had only one chance, or the girl would be ready for them next time.
They had to attack when their Campione is distracted and wounded, striking her quickly and debilitatingly in such a way that she is caught off guard and wounded enough that she cannot retaliate. or fight back since her capture.
So now ... They had to wait.
Another god was coming.
They could feel the stagnation of power beginning to gather at a certain point in this land.
The power was not enough to bring the god to earth, but with the sacrifice of several souls, such an action would be possible.
Which god would come ... even Guinevere didn't know.
The ritual the humans were about to use to bring down the god was a selective system that needed a catalyst of strong connection to the god.
Therefore, depending on whatever artifact the humans used, any god could descend into the human realm.
The ground shook.
"Be careful, child. The Devil King below has begun his advance. He has already begun the battle and will soon emerge from the fragile cage to face the other Devil King."
The voice of Sir Knight, Guinevere's one true protector resounded in her ears.
"Guinevere knows. Let us prepare, Sir Knight. Soon, the battle between two Campiones will raze this land, and amidst the chaos that will ensue, we must take the Wise Princess."
BANG!
"Are you sure you wish to do this, girl? Although the White Witch down there really can find your King, it is still very dangerous."
"... Although the risk is great, Guinevere thinks that whatever mystery the girl holds will become the key to finding our Lord, Strongest Steel."
BOOOM
"... One mistake and we will find ourselves against a Campione. Although I am strong as the protector of the witches, I will eventually fall if I face a Campione without becoming a heretic God"
"Don't worry, Sir Knight" Guinevere said with a smile, "Our plan is well thought out, and with your help, the princess below will be subdued easily. Even if Campione comes after us, with the girl in our hands, he will hesitate to strike us. What we currently need is information about what the girl is holding. After obtaining said information, we can escape with her stallion."
As she turned and left the top of the building, the entrance to the building opposite the one she was in exploded, a young brunette man emerging from the smoke of the explosion with flames dancing around him. Several AMUB agents inside and outside the building jumped on him with their weapons in hand, but a barrier rose up around the young man and the Knight and the lady following behind Campione, driving off all the attackers with ease.
The Divine Ancestor and her Knight only watched as the younger Campione made his way toward his goal.
...
...
"Normally, we would sneak in there, but since we don't have time, we'll just go in." Gantz spoke as we ran across the rooftops, "Diavolo Rosso may also be trying to intercept the ritual, but he doesn't have the firepower like you, Sir Ozymandias. Hopefully, we won't stand in each other's way and stop the ritual."
"There is also the matter of Marquis Voban" Alice added as she flew away, the wind generated by the fast travel on top of the buildings somehow warm affecting her hair or clothes in some way.
"... Did Marquis Voban come to this place?" Gantz said with alarm in his eyes.
"Yes, I suspect that AMUB has figured out the way to summon Heretical Gods, and is negotiating with Campione about how they will provide Marquis Voban with prey for him to fight in exchange for having him as their official Campione" Alice spoke in a natural voice.
"... Why wouldn't Voban simply force them to use the ritual? He is a Campione. He doesn't usually negotiate with his subjects" Gantz interrupted, his voice strangely calm despite the revelation that another Campione had come to this place.
