Chapter 62: Agumon’s True Name & The Changed Tohsaka Aoi [Sixth Secret Sword—Venomous Moth’s Blade!]

"Venomous Moth's Blade" was a sword technique designed specifically for breaking through heavily armored opponents.

At the moment of clashing blades,

The user channels high-frequency vibrations through their sword,

Forcing the destructive waves to bypass armor and directly rupture the opponent from within!

Thus, the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel Avatar didn't just slash the Sea Dragon Beast—

It poured the divine power of the "Severing Silver Hand" directly into its body!

This raw force surged into the beast's insides—

Ripping, twisting, and utterly shredding it apart from within!

"SKREEEEEEEEEEE!!"

The Sea Dragon Beast shrieked in agony,

Yet, despite the searing destruction ravaging its insides,

It still refused to open its shell!

But Lucien was prepared.

After all…

Starfish—can be pried open.

The Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel Avatar gripped Excalibur in one hand,

And in the other—

It drew the massive Dragon Slayer Sword!

"CLANG!!"

A resounding clash rang through the battlefield,

As the two swords collided!

Using the Dragon Slayer Sword as a lever,

It forcefully drove Excalibur through the Sea Dragon Beast's hardened shell!

"CRAAAACK—!!!"

The outer shell was pried open—

And in that instant—

The Fallen Angel Avatar stabbed the Dragon Slayer Sword deep inside!

Both swords locked together,

Acting like a crowbar,

And tore open the Sea Dragon Beast's armored hide!

"SPLAAAASH!!"

A torrent of blue blood gushed out,

The Sea Dragon Beast's roar filled with terror.

Lucien smirked.

He had absolutely no interest in touching this disgusting monstrosity.

That's why he left the dirty work to his Avatar.

Meanwhile—

As the Fallen Angel Avatar pried open the shell—

Lucien finished charging his attack!

[EXTREME FLAME!!]

The ultimate holy fire, condensed to its very limits,

Shot forward—

And engulfed the exposed weak spot with devastating force!!

"BOOOOOOOM!!"

The sacred flames ignited the Sea Dragon Beast's flesh—

Along with the Fallen Angel Avatar itself!

But—

Since the Avatar felt no pain,

It remained completely unaffected!

"Agumon! NOW!"

[Understood!]

MetalGreymon raised its claws—

And activated its long-prepared spell!

Beneath the Sea Dragon Beast,

A series of high-tier forbidden magic circles emerged—

Curses.Weaken.Holy Purification.Light Infusion.Rend.Erasure.

A combination of devastating spells triggered at once,

Causing the Sea Dragon Beast's power to plummet drastically!

"This is it! Lucien!"

[Yeah, I know!]

Lucien lifted Excalibur high—

[EX——] [CALIBUR!!!]

A massive beam of golden and silver energy

Engulfed the Sea Dragon Beast entirely!

The monster's form vanished—

Swallowed whole by the blazing holy light!!

"FSSSSSHHHHH!!"

The ground melted beneath the heat—

Only the hardened glass-like scorched earth

remained as a testament to the battle's intensity.

"BOOOOOM!!"

MetalGreymon turned its attention to the last remaining threat—

The Book of Prelati!

It unleashed Giga Storm—

A storm of destruction aimed directly at the book of horrors,

Ensuring nothing remained.

If this were a normal Prelati's Spellbook,

There would be no need for such extreme caution.

But this was a fused abomination,

Containing the Outer God's will and the remnants of the World's Consciousness.

"We did it…"

As the storm settled,

Only two remnants remained.

One—

A chunk of flesh fused with the Book of Prelati.

The other—

A chunk of flesh fused with the Golden Fleece.

Strange energy began pulling them together.

The Golden Fleece was slowly merging with the Book of Prelati!

"Lucien! QUICK—separate the Golden Fleece from the book!"

"If they merge, this will get way worse!"

"Separate them?! How?!"

"Lucien—

USE YOUR DAMN CHESS PIECES!!"

Lucien's eyes lit up.

"Got it!!"

Without any hesitation—

He charged directly into the heart of the Giga Storm!

His Giant Mech's reinforced armor

Allowed him to move through the raging vortex.

Quickly—

He located the piece of flesh merged with the Golden Fleece—

And without a second thought—

He shoved a chess piece into it!

At the same time—

Lucien reached for the Book of Prelati.

[DING!] [Congratulations, Host!] [Villainous Sign-In Completed!] [Sign-In Tier: Gold!] [Sign-In Type: Location-Based!] [Location: Prelati's Spellbook & The Golden Fleece] [CONGRATULATIONS!] [You have obtained: An Outer God & World Consciousness-Altered Sea Dragon Beast!!]

Lucien blinked.

Then—he laughed.

"Well then…" "Looks like the enemy just became an ally."

[Sign-In Completed—Time to Wrap Things Up]

With the sign-in process finished, Lucien had no reason to let the abomination linger any longer.

Thus, the moment his hand touched Prelati's Spellbook,

He gathered an overwhelming amount of energy—

"BOOM!"

[GIGA STORM!]

A violent surge of heat and destruction burst forth—

Merging seamlessly with Agumon's own "Giga Storm!"

Meanwhile—

On the Golden Fleece's side,

The moment the chess piece was forcefully inserted,

The Golden Fleece vanished!

And in its place—

A delicate young girl with long lavender hair slowly materialized in the air.

"Hm?"

Lucien raised an eyebrow.

Then, without hesitation,

He extended his massive hand and grabbed the newly reborn lavender-haired girl.

"BOOOOM!!"

With a burst of thrusters,

Lucien continued maintaining "Giga Storm" with one hand,

While firmly holding onto the girl with the other,

Carefully pulling her away from the storm's blast zone.

Yet—

Before he could fully withdraw,

Agumon suddenly halted her attack.

Because…

With the Golden Fleece removed,

Prelati's Spellbook could no longer sustain itself.

Within seconds—

The book was completely erased by the raging storm.

"Phew!"

Lucien let out a deep breath as he finally relaxed his body.

Then—

He collapsed backward.

[If I knew this would be such a hassle… I would've just used "Juggernaut Drive" from the start.]

Fighting in "Giant Mecha Mode" was already exhausting—

But stacking so many abilities on top?

Even for him, it was a nightmare.

"Huff~"

A gentle rustling sound followed—

And the lavender-haired girl quickly caught Lucien,

Preventing him from falling to the ground.

Not only that—

She carefully cradled his head onto her soft lap.

"You… Are you the hero who saved me from fate and the Outer God?"

The girl's voice was soft, almost reverent.

She had long, silky lavender hair,

And her name—

Was Medea.

[In this timeline… Medea was just a side character in the Holy Grail War.]

Ten years later,

She was summoned by a certain "Blondie",

But—

Things didn't work out.

Medea ended up killing her Master,

And later,

She got eliminated while lying half-dead on the roadside.

"You're… Medea?"

"Yes, Master. I am Medea—your servant and loyal subject."

As a mage from the Age of Gods,

Medea immediately recognized the contract binding her to Lucien.

And more than that—

She understood the true nature of their connection.

[This contract… is absolute.]

Unlike being tied to the Throne of Heroes,

This bond surpassed the Holy Grail,

Surpassed the World itself.

And for the first time in her life…

Medea felt completely at ease.

"Master, you've overexerted your magical energy.

You should rest and recover before moving again."

Medea gently stroked his forehead,

Her voice calm and soothing.

"Even the strongest beings experience 'metal fatigue,' Master.

If you push yourself too far, you'll break."

Lucien—

Lay completely still,

Enjoying the soft sensation of Medea's lap pillow for a moment.

He almost couldn't believe it.

Was this really Medea?

The same vengeful, cynical sorceress?

"Oh right, Master…"

Medea suddenly smiled.

A faint blush appeared on her exquisite face.

"I have a way to help you recover your magic faster."

Before Lucien could even respond—

Medea leaned down

And pressed her lips against his.

[Meanwhile, Agumon…]

Having just finished reverting from her evolved form,

Agumon approached Lucien's location.

The moment she arrived—

She saw Medea kissing him.

"…Huh?"

Agumon furrowed her brows.

"It's happening again…"

She clutched her chest.

A strange, unfamiliar tightness filled her heart.

Her body, once strong and resilient,

Now felt weak and suffocating.

"It hurts…"

She had never felt this way before.

Back when she was weak,

This feeling had never existed.

But now—

As she grew stronger and evolved further,

Every time she saw Lucien getting close to another girl…

This suffocating pain returned.

"…Sania."

Agumon whispered a name.

This was the name she chose for herself.

The name she wanted Lucien to call her.

Not "Agumon".

Not "Greymon".

But Sania.

"Once I evolve to my Ultimate Form… I'll have a new appearance."

"And then… I'll make Lucien call me 'Sania.'"

She had already decided.

[Meanwhile, Outside the Battle]

Tohsaka Rin—

Sat casually munching on potato chips,

Watching Lucien's battle from afar.

Since Agumon's Mirror Space only sealed the Sea Dragon Beast,

And didn't fully transport it away,

Everyone could still see the fight happening.

By the time the battle ended…

Tohsaka Rin had just finished her snack.

She licked the last bit of salt from her fingers,

Then angrily tossed the empty bag onto the ground.

"Damn it… Maybe that bastard really DOES deserve to be exiled from the world."

She hated to admit it.

But now…

She couldn't deny it anymore.

The world changed BECAUSE he was exiled.

That was the truth.

"Rin? Is that you?"

A familiar voice suddenly called out.

Rin's body instantly froze.

She slowly turned her head—

Her eyes trembling as they filled with tears.

"M-Mom…?"

The moment she saw Tohsaka Aoi,

She couldn't hold back anymore.

Tears streamed down her cheeks as she threw herself into her mother's arms!

"Mom! I missed you so much!!"

She buried her face into Aoi's embrace,

Sobbing uncontrollably.

Yet—

Despite everything—

Rin noticed something strange.

When she mentioned her father's death…

Her mother—

Visibly relaxed.

As if… she was relieved.

"…Why?"

Why would her mother feel relieved… after hearing her father was dead?
"Tokiomi is dead? How did he die?"

Tohsaka Aoi gently stroked Rin's trembling back, her voice soft yet strangely calm.

"He was… killed by his own student—Kirei Kotomine!"

Rin gritted her teeth, hatred boiling in her heart.

"No matter what timeline it is,

Whether in the original world or now—

Father was always murdered by Kirei Kotomine!"

Her resentment burned so fiercely that she forgot her earlier suspicion toward her mother.

"Kirei… Kotomine, huh?"

Aoi's expression turned complicated.

For a brief moment,

She felt a strange sense of gratitude toward Kirei.

Because of him—

She no longer needed to feel guilt about choosing Lucien.

Because of him—

She was no longer a cheating wife—but a widow seeking love.

Even though, in truth—

The moment she spent that night with Lucien, she had already betrayed Tokiomi.

Even so—

The thought of having to face him and confess her choice…

Was a burden she never wanted to bear.

Telling Tokiomi that she chose Lucien instead of him…

That she wanted to be with Lucien…

That Lucien was so much stronger than him…

Would have been too cruel.

Tokiomi was already pathetic enough.

She didn't want to hurt him any further.

So—

The fact that Kirei Kotomine killed Tokiomi before she had to confront him…

Was a relief.

Especially now—

After hearing that, in any timeline, Kirei would always kill Tokiomi…

Aoi's heart grew even lighter.

No matter how fate shifted,

Tokiomi would always die.

And she…

Would always be a widow.

She would always be… free.

"Mother!"

Rin's determination burned fiercely.

"I will kill Kirei again and avenge Father!"

Her voice was cold and unwavering.

"Mm, Rin."

Aoi nodded gently.

"I approve of your decision."

"But be careful. If anything happens—come to me."

Her voice was soft, almost hypnotic.

"Huh?"

Rin froze.

She then snapped her head up, staring at Aoi with wide, questioning eyes.

"Wait! Mom—

You don't even know magic!

Why would I come to you?!"

Before Aoi could respond—

Another familiar voice interrupted them.

"Because I'm here, of course!" "SAKURA!!"

Rin whipped around to the source of the voice.

And sure enough—

There stood a younger version of Sakura Tohsaka.

"So, you came too."

Rin sighed in relief.

In the future,

She and **Sakura had cooperated well.

So having her here…**

Was like securing a reliable ally.

"Rin~ We meet again~"

A hoarse yet playful voice followed.

Another figure emerged from behind Sakura.

"ILLYA!!"

Rin's eyes widened in surprise.

Having Illya here as well—

Only made her feel even more reassured.

If it's the three of us together—

We can definitely take down Kirei Kotomine!

"Just Gilgamesh and Lancer, huh?"

Rin clenched her fists.

"Perfect."

"Justice demands a fair three-on-two beatdown!"
