Holy Right : A Multiverse Occultist

The staunch definition of undisputed speed pierced through the sky like lightning.

Among the known powerhouses in this world, apart from Roy, there is only one person with such speed outburst and maneuverability, unmatched to any being in existence — the crowned Campione of England, the Nobleman of God Speed, Alexander Gascoigne!

[Black Lightning] is the name of this speed based Divine Authority which granted him the moniker of the Prince of Black Lightning, or in short, the Black Prince. 

This is the power that Alexander Gascoigne usurped from the first Heretic God he killed, Ramiel, the Fallen Angel of Visions and Lightning.

With the help of 'Godspeed', the ability derived from [Black Lightning], he can shorten the time needed to travel from point A to B to be as fast as possible. 

He can move at the speed of genuine lightning with the evocation of this ability. It also grants him a feline athelcism that allows him to perform a superior physical stuns that shouldn't be possible for a normal human.

And now Alexander Gascoigne tapped his 'Godspeed' to its fullest extent and motioned to grab the Holy Grail in Roy's hand at a speed that now even surpassed lightning. 

As long as he gets the Holy Grail, even if Roy, who holds a speed authority on par of him, chases after him, it would definitely be too late.

How fast is it to grab something at the speed of lightning? 

That is almost not even the quarter of the blink of an eye, exceeding the possibility of human thoughts.

It's close, it's close! 

SO CLOSE! 

Alexander Gascoigne looked at the Holy Grail close to his hands and smiled unconsciously with joy.

His heartfelt wish was about to come true!

He had heard countless stories of the Holy Grail from his father when he was very young.

Alex's father is what people call an occultist and not a mage, but that was not all to it, he was also an adventurer, looking for the legendary Holy Grail that was said to carry God's blood.

Alex was taught about Magic at a very young age by his father. Due to his father's obsessive goal to find the Magic Holy Grail, his mother left them.

Gascoigne grew up in such a family, his father had instilled untold bits of knowledge about the Holy Grail since he was a child, which made him long and yearn for the Holy Grail from a young age.

When he was just sixteen years old, his father passed away and died on his incomplete quest to find the Holy Grail, but Gascoigne didn't had the time to grieve. 

In his father's footsteps, he started his own journey to find the Grail. 

On the quest of searching for the Holy Grail, through good fortune and sharp instincts, he slew the Fallen Angel Ramiel and became a Campione at the age of sixteen.

He was gratified to be a Godslayer, because with this new level of identity, he believed that he will soon be able to find the legendary Holy Grail, satisfying his own longings, and fulfilling his father's last wishes.

This was not the first time he had met Guinevere. He first met her when he had just killed his third Heretic God known as Minos/Minotaur in Crete and gained a new Authority. 

There Guinevere explained that she once worked with Lucretia Zola in the past, but due to their disagreement with certain points of view they split; there Guinevere invited Alex to join her and she would give him the Holy Grail. 

It's just that the Black Prince looked down upon the Queen of Divine Ancestors in the end. 

He responded by stating that he could just take the thing as long as he knew where it was. When he was about to attack, the Heretic God, Lancelot came to defend Guinevere and then hastily retreated from his grasps.

Once Lancelot and Guinevere were gone, Alex and Princess Alice met at Lucretia Zola's place and asked her some questions about Guinevere. 

The beautiful witch explained that Guinevere wanted to awaken something called "King who manifests at the end of eras" and with something that sounded like the beginning of an apocalypse, at the end, the beautiful witch ended her own research about it.

And so that ungrasped chance remained a thorn in his heart. 

But this time he had another chance, because the new king who made him wary, the new king in charge of wisdom, the one who controlled the 2/5th of magic world with his fingertips, he actually tore the Holy Grail from Guinevere's hands!

Gascoigne knew that he could not snatch the Holy Grail as long as it was with Guinevere, but he was confident about the one in Roy's hands.

Just as Black Prince's fingers were about to touch the Holy Grail, he was left stunned, Roy's left hand flicker lightly, the child-size golden Holy Grail that was moments before just in front of his eyes, disappeared!

Invisibility magic? Space magic? Illusion Magic? 

As a former proficient mage, various possible explanations flashed in Black Prince's mind, but regardless of which magic it was, the Black Prince understood one thing, that Roy had long expected his arrival.

Otherwise he would not be able to retract the Holy Grail so easily, even faster than his [Black Lightning]. 

This is quite the same as the principle of avoiding bullets. No matter how fast ordinary humans are, they can't really avoid bullets, but still, many people can and do avoid bullets. 

They can do so as long as they anticipate the aim and react before the trigger is pulled, creating the illusion that humans can dodge bullets.

His actions are quite similar to this. 

It is absolutely impossible for him to activate the magic spell faster than a speed based Divine Authority, but if he activates the spell before the Black Prince's 'Godspeed' ranges into the action zone, the result will be completely different.

"You are guilty!"

Black Prince Alex, who was completely caught off guard, heard a booming voice reach his ears. 

From the corners of his eyesight, he saw a blood-red cruciform sword bathed in holy flames swing downwards, and then cut away the lightning on his back.

Pzzztk-! 

His 'Godspeed' was disconnected, although Gascoigne found that he was slowly regaining the control once again, this sudden dicey disconnection made his speed lose continuity, and his body appeared right before Roy. 

His body was still fixed in the running stance with his hand awkwardly facing the missing Holy Grail stilled in the air. 

"How come?! Can't your power can only be used once in a day!"

The black prince exclaimed, his face filled with incongruity.

He is a very rare species among the Sons and Daughters of Fool – a wise person. 

After the Tokyo incident, where Roy defeated Marquis Voban, Gascoigne took on the task to analyze the battle. 

After days of speculations and mulling on countless hypothesis, he roughly ascertained some restrictions on Roy's powers.

For example, this divine authority called the [Sacred Line of Flamma Reconditus], although the certain role of this power is unknown, he can guess that it works on the rule of 'severing'.

Just moments ago, this sword even severed the connection between Guinevere and the Holy Grail, that close to passing the conceptual existence, proving his conjecture.

Although the sword that can cut everything, even concepts, is terrifying, Gascoigne also came to the conclusion during the investigation that this specific ability of this sword can only be used once in a day, which is also in line with the new king usurping seven authorities, but based on the balance of each.

Although the new king has many Authorities, time and use restrictions should exist, but now Roy's move overthrew Black Prince's conjecture into pieces. 

Facing the face etched with shock, Roy just smiled, he was not obliged to answer his enemy's questions.

In fact, after fusing with Solomon's spirit base which made his [Jacob's Limbs] evolve, he focused on Metatron's spirit base that Aiwass had procured earlier.

With Aiwass's efforts, Pandora's ritual was finally perfected, and she passed on this knowledge to him not long ago, allowing him to complete the ritual by himself and perform another Spiritual Fusion.

This time the spirit base fusion was exceptionally successful, the most importantly, the manifestation lies in the total amount of his mana, which has now almost reached twice as that much of other Godslayers!

But this integration also has its limits.

It's not a game where one can keep gaining exp. It is not that as long as more spiritual bases are merged, the stronger his mana pool will keep becoming. It is very similar to drug resistance. There is a limit to the room for growth.

According to his estimations, he can only increase his mana pool to be five times to that of a natural Godslayer, after that it won't increase no matter how many spiritual bases he later fuses with his base. 

This is where the limit of the profession called Campione lies!

Therefore, the spirit bases to be merged in the future must be selected more carefully, he cannot just fuse with any of them casually, because, his chances are limited. 

Metatron and Michael have many similarities, so this option was a given. 

Like the last time with [Jacob's Limbs], this time also he gained a new increment in his [Holy Right].

His [Sacred Line of Judgment of Good and Evil] — 'Judgement' no longer has a limit on the number of times it can be used!

As long as he still has mana remaining in his body, he can use it as many times he wishes! 

Though, he still can't proceed with the motion of cutting the laws on which the world thrives, but as long as he continues to strive harder, continue climbing his occultist path, every impossible deed will become possible.
