"...."
But Origami didn't respond. She was furious at being interrupted—so much so that if it weren't for the malignant Miasma leaking from a certain person, Origami would have been the first to attack this idiot...
"How... how... how dare you?"
That's right. The one who made even Origami stop herself couldn't hold it in any longer...
"How dare a filthy man interrupt my sweet date!!!"
No one had ever dared to interrupt Miku while she was hunting, especially when there was a candidate about to join the Crystal Palace...
Miku had already planned it out. She would capture this beautiful Saint, tie her to the bed, then use her feminine weapons to tempt her Darling into tasting the Saint's forbidden flavor, served on a silver platter. Miku was certain Yuki wouldn't refuse such a gift. And when the two of them were in the middle of it, she would naturally join in.
A sweet trio. A feast where everyone wins.
She would savor the best of both worlds....
And not to mention the resonance that Nia claimed, when combined with sex, was like touching paradise itself.
Miku wanted to try it so badly....
But now her good mood was gone, all because of this filthy man!
Unforgivable....
Aside from Yuki, there should be no other man who dared to defy her.
"Gabriel!!!"
At her call, a gigantic organ appeared in the sky. The sheer spectacle left the Servants in shock.
Especially Jeanne. The warning bells she had heard earlier went completely wild.
Something very bad was about to happen...
"You filthy homorectus! Who gave you permission to show your disgusting face before me?! Die! You'll die like the filthy cockroach you are!"
Rising into the air, a circular keyboard formed before Miku—and then the nightmare began....
"Run!!"
As a Ruler, Jeanne knew how dangerous Miku could be. The moment Miku summoned her Noble Phantasm, Jeanne waved her Flag and retreated without hesitation.
But it was already too late.
What was one of Miku's taboos?
The answer was simple: a man interrupting her hunt.
Despite being considered bisexual, Miku still saw girls as the better option. In fact, Yuki was the only man she tolerated. Other men still disgusted her, even if she hid those feelings well.
But with Iskandar interrupting her sacred hunt, Miku couldn't endure it.
"Play! Play!.... Gabriel!!!"
As her fingers danced across the keys, Miku lost herself in the music and her rage. The scene burned itself into the minds of everyone present...
The sound waves traveled so fast there was no escaping them...
Such was Miku's fury that she unconsciously played one of the melodies engraved within Gabriel...
Melody of War
BROMMMMMMMMM
The reaction was immense. In the spiritual world, the Crown that protects the world lit up in response. Even the Demon King in the Sky Castle trembled, his instincts urging him to draw his sword—but the chains binding him were stronger...
As the Faith Bearer, Miku was the key that unleashed the Beast.
Those present fell into a trance for several seconds, until Jeanne recoiled in horror and clenched her Flag tightly...
Miku's melody spread through her body like poison. But unlike other poisons that caused agony, this one was sweet like honey—addictive to the point that one couldn't stop listening. If it weren't for her high Magic Resistance, Jeanne was certain she would soon fall into Miku's grasp.
"Idiot Rider, what did you do?!"
Waver covered his ears and scolded his Servant. Unlike the melody Jeanne heard, for Waver it was shrill and unbearably oppressive.
(I messed up...)
And of course, Rider felt the same. His smile vanished. He had seen Jeanne and Miku before, but since his magical power was average, he had brushed it off.
A grave mistake...
Within Miku's melody, he heard something else—something that made his blood boil and his body tremble...
It was a Horn of War....
War was approaching. Victory and glory—this was the meaning of the song.
There was nothing more terrifying for a King than facing an enemy army with soaring morale...
Miku's song was exactly that: the war cries of thousands of soldiers, an army that feared neither death nor battle, fighting for their lord.
And from that melody, a strange mirage appeared before Iskandar, like a fragment of memory....
They were soldiers armed to the teeth. They weren't human—over two meters tall, many with massive builds and horns sprouting from their heads.
A strange red Miasma poured from their bodies. Before that terrifying army stood a woman in armor. Like the others, she bore horns on her head, and the strange crown atop her head emitted malignant Miasma. She raised her sword and pointed it forward...
"Go forth and destroy!! Earn your armor!! Prove yourselves worthy to fight alongside your Emperor!! Die for your lord—this is your honor!!"
ROOOOAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!
The beastly roar made even Iskandar tremble. They weren't human. They weren't like any other army he had faced before. This was something else—an army with unshakable faith in their hearts, an invincible symbol, an undefeated Emperor...
But this was to be expected. This army was the most feared and the most powerful in the Zero World.
The Imperial Demon Guard, the army of the Hero of the Void....
"It's just like the game...."
Murmuring to himself, Yuki lazily leaned back on his throne. He was slightly surprised by the soldiers in the mirage. He had seen them before while playing that shitty game, but seeing them on a screen and seeing them in reality were two entirely different things.
There was no doubt that the threat level of those demons exceeded Planetary Level. Some, like the Empress, had already reached Stellar Level.
The Mother of All in the Zero World had no other choice. She broke her limits and allowed her children to wield such power despite the world not being high-level.
She risked being killed by her own children, but with no alternatives left, she had to do it. And as a Level 5 world at the time, she still had a few tricks up her sleeve.
But that was all in the past. Now that the Melody of War had been played, Yuki waited for Miku's next move. After all, these melodies were still just representations, with no real effect.
There was no army to support, no crowds to serve as a Faith Bearer.
Unless things changed, Miku wasn't a threat to Yuki. So he simply enjoyed watching his girls perform...
What Yuki didn't know was that if Miku were in the Zero World, her presence alone would shake the Underworld—and even the church itself.
"Is it over?"
With the shrill, oppressive melody gone, Waver lowered his arms and opened his eyes, confused.
The sound wave carried incredible magical power. Waver had even thought his head was going to explode, yet nothing happened. That left him bewildered—he hadn't expected such a Sonic Attack to end so easily.
"It's over, but that's not good, kid..."
Unlike Waver, Iskandar had a very bad feeling. The giant organ was still in the sky, and Miku's hands were still pressed against the keyboard. Her head was lowered, bangs covering her eyes, her face swallowed by Shadow.
"Heh~ hit him, boys."
A sinister smile suddenly formed on Miku's face as she lifted her head.
"As you command, my lady."
BOOM
The first to move was Siegfried. He stomped the ground and leapt forward...
"Grrrrr!"
He wasn't the only one. Frankenstein snarled and jumped as well, trying to bring Iskandar down...
But it was useless. Iskandar was too far away for her. It wasn't the same for Siegfried—true to his status as a great Hero, his strength was no joke, nor was his endurance...
"Hold on, kid!"
"What?!"
Iskandar reacted instantly and avoided Siegfried's attack. But at that very moment, arrows rained down on him, forcing the lightning around him to surge once more in an attempt to repel them. Even so, Chiron's arrows kept coming.
