Usually, Holy Grail War would happen at Fuyuki City in Japan, but there was an anomaly during this time Holy Grail War and it happened in Trifas, Romania.
So why did this anomaly happen?
It was because the Yggdmillennia had gotten Greater Grail during the previous Holy Grail War.
Then there is another question, who is Yggdmillennia?
Yggdmillennia is a unique family of Magus that takes in other families rather than continuing a single bloodline. Though they have a long history, they are not a family of Lords. They are speculated to have lost a power struggle with the three royal families of the Association in the past or have been estranged from others due to the poor quality of their magic circuits. They neither belong to nor have a connection to any other group, and they are often not recognized as a noble thaumaturgical family.
They abandoned the common method of thickening the blood of thaumaturgical potential over generations while mastering the thaumaturgical system chosen by the first generation. They instead took in all magi families with even the smallest connections to them from all over the world. They focused on taking in those with a little history and weak Magic Circuits, those with their Magic Circuits on the decline with successive generations, those defeated in power struggles that were forced into ruin, and those with a price on their head as a punishment by the Association.
Though the families had strayed from the core of the Association, they had refused to give up the path to the Root, so Yggmillennia gave them the chance to leave their blood’s legacy and a mark upon history. Their family names are given as middle names to each member of the family, and the Magic Crests of each family are still passed down within each one rather than having a single unified crest for a single successor. This has caused them to develop a broad range of studies with each member pursuing a different path, which included Western alchemy, dark arts, witchcraft, astrology, Kabbalah, runology, and the Onmyodo of Japan.
They are considered to be a loose alliance of the new, the weak, and the dying, so the Lords consider them to be trivial. Though they have many in number, average members can usually only reach second-class, and only a few rare cases of first-class Magus exist. They pose little threat, and only the elder’s, Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia, political finesse allows them to be left alone. It was thought that their only merit was quantity, but the revelation of the Grail has changed that evaluation. They would have had no chance to become Lords in one thousand years, so they instead opted to form a new Association of Magi around their own clan.
The clan came to Romania from Northern Europe, and have used the Fortress of Millennia in Trifas as their base since the middle ages, although they have relatives across the world.
But that didn’t really matter and it wasn’t that uncommon for a Magus family to join the Yggdmillennia family, however, that only happened during peacetime and not during the Holy Grail War.
On the top floor of Fortress of Millennia, there was a luxurious room, and inside this room, there was a single man that stared at the crystal ball with a frown, staring at the young handsome man who shouted something unbelievable.
“Mr. Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia! I am Kasugano Haruka! I am your fan! Let me work with you and join you in this revolution to bring down the Tower Clock together!”
The man stared at the young man for a while and rubbed his chin wondering whether his charm was so high that he had a fan, as everyone had guessed, this man was Darnic Prestone Yggdmillennia who happened to be the one that was admired by Haru.
However, that wasn’t the problem since the biggest problem was this young man owned Command Spells!
In his mind, he wanted all the members of Yggdmillennia to own all the Command Seals, but the appearance of this young man broke that plan, however, this young man can to Trifas because he wanted to join him and destroy the current Clock Tower.
If this was a normal magician, then he wouldn’t care, but the problem was that this young man was a very strong magician!
He could tell instantly when Haru entered the barrier, Haru directly flared out his Magic Power which made him instantly notice him the moment Haru entered the barrier.
Most of the Magus that entered the Yggdmillennia were the new, the weak, and the dying, and it was rare to see someone who had such a large amount of Od inside his body such as Haru.
(Od is the life-force energy found within living organisms such as humans, animals, and Magical Beasts).
‘But still….’
Darnic had to admit that this guy was quite handsome, no, he had to admit that this guy was very handsome, but there was some imperfect part that was quite hard to explain which somehow enhanced this young man’s charm.
Darnic quickly thought whether this young man had another power and quickly noticed the mole under his right eye, however, he didn’t feel anything from it or anything. He also didn’t see this young man use his magic again after this young man flared out his Magical Energy before.
Darnic thought for a while and decided to test this young man first. He knew it was a critical moment and he needed to confirm whether this young man wasn’t someone that was being sent by Clock Tower.
Darnic had passed the age where he thought that everything in this world would move according to his thought. In this situation, he needed to be cautious, but then again, if this young man really was his fan and strong enough to pass his test then he didn’t mind accepting him as part of his faction.
On other hand, Haru who had shouted out loud his intention didn’t stay too long and directly entered the city. It was his first time on Trifas after all, but he was wondering why this place was similar to a Medieval era.
Haru felt that he had traveled to the past and somehow it was quite fun. He parked his motorcycle and went to a nearby bar to taste their wines and local cuisine since it seemed that the taste was quite good.
Haru also joined everyone, talking together, singing, and laughing together easily, bonding with everyone and the local cute girls, however, he knew that wasn’t the time now since he was wondering where Shinobu was.
Haru knew that Shinobu should be with the Ruler who would borrow her body during this Holy Grail War which made him feel a bit worried, but it was quite hard for him to search the location of Shinobu since this place was very deserted and there wasn’t even a camera around.
The only way that he could search for her was to use a satellite, but he didn’t think the quality of the satellite in this world was very good.
Haru sighed and knew that he needed to wait, but he had a feeling that he would meet Shinobu soon.
Then night quickly arrived and Haru rejected the invitation of the people who wanted to invite him to stay at their houses since he didn’t want to trouble them with the problem that was about to come toward him.
Haru walked out of the bar and could tell the atmosphere had changed. He didn’t see anyone besides 10 figures who appeared in front of him.
Five of them were similar to a human and the five others were similar to a giant which was made out of the earth.
Haru was wondering whether Darnic wanted to test him. He turned his head toward one direction and shouted again, “Sir, is this a test? If you think so then I will pass this test no matter what!” He looked in the direction of his opponents again and could see that there were homunculus and golem.
‘So have their servants been summoned?’
Haru wasn’t sure, but he knew that he needed to hurry to summon his servant as soon as possible. Looking at the female homunculus, he knew that it was time to test his new power!
