Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 420. History of the Past. 3
Four objects that look ordinary are carried by the figure. Simultaneously, there were several large jugs neatly lined up in front of them.
The figure inserted the object into the largest jug in the middle and said in a loud voice.
“We will put an end to oppression in the name of chastity!”
“They, Lucario followers..try to make us disappear on the basis of a prophecy that is not even proven true!”
“We are not a race of pesky bearers or curses as they say! But we are treated as if we have such a curse in us that before we were born!”
“Elf gets treated like a messenger of God, while half the elves born from the elves themselves with humans are treated like a disaster!”
“Beastman who was born with knight blood was treated like an uncivilized monster!”
“Today, with the blood of all the fallen and endless hatred.we create fear to burn all the followers of Lucario!!”
Everyone cheered. Only the four teenagers were shocked to hear all that. Then before all of them, the figure in front of them recited a spell from the strange book he was carrying.
Apparently, Kino recognized the book.
“That's the book that's inside the crystal ball... right?”
“What?!”
“Serious?!”
The three looked at the book and after a while, they realized it.
“Kino right..”
“The streak is similar even though the one in the strange crystal ball is more shining and looks new..”.
“What does this mean? We're in it? Then what is this?”
The figure asked the people in front to pour all the contents of the jug in front. When poured, a pungent aroma wafted. Everybody knows what it is.
“Da..”
“...rah..”
Kino and Ryou could barely continue on their respective words. That's right, all those jugs are blood. Not only that, but the craziest thing starts here.
The figure said, “With this, all for victory, pride and blood all our dead friends!”
As he spoke so, the book he was holding slipped off and entered into a large jug with blood and four other weapons.
After that he called for a controversial sentence.
“Turn the flames of struggle and sacrifice yourself for our victory!”
Self-sacrifice was a clear sentence spoken by him. The men who poured the blood in the jug pulled out the knife they were carrying and in the presence of many, they slit their own throats to death.
“......!!”
The four youths were surprised. Not just ordinary shock but have reached the level of wanting to wake up from all these nightmares.
Why so? Because after that, all the people who were there cried including them.
“I...crying?” Kino was even confused
The half-elves, including the four youths were crying. Everyone is calling for their prayers.
“This blood is for new strength!”
“We will make those who curse half elves regret!”
“I will be a new force for the sake of victory of all! This blood and grudges will be a new force!”
Who would have thought that bringing people on the front did such a crazy thing that it was suicide by slitting their throats as well.
Followed by the next line and the next. Until the time of the four youths' turn, those who were ready with knives in their hands started slitting their throats as well.

“Aaaarrgh!!” ryou yelled from his sleep on the stairs. He looked around him back.
The location had changed and now they were like they were inside the fortress.
Kino tried to catch her breath even though her face already looked so pale. She held her neck while muttering, “I..was the first time I felt such intense pain in my neck. So that's the pain when your neck is cut by itself”
Kaito remembered the last thing he remembered.
“The figure of the person who called for a lot of strange speech inserted four objects like ordinary weapons and poured a lot of fresh blood into it”
“Then the book seen by Kino was also there. I don't remember whether the book was included as well or not, but I clearly saw the book come off his hands” Xenon said
Kino began to think for a moment and recalled the historical definition he had read in the article at the time.
“I will assume that it is the origin of the creation of the Artifact. From a thing that has no price to something that feared”
“The number of sacrifices that were so much to make that terrible weapon was equivalent to his strength”
“Those many people were even willing to kill themselves in order to be used as the making material and his great magic power came from the tears and grudges they brought”
All three nodded. Finally, Xenon learned the secret behind the creation of life force from the strongest magic weapon available today.
“Just deserve magic power and a strong determination to have an Artifact. Mark-sama is the chosen one who may have seen this too”
Kaito muttered, “Mark Vermillion experienced this as well.”.
“When Mark-sama matches himself with the 4 Artifact that are in the palace, no one sees it. Mark-sama entered alone. But when it comes out, Mark-sama does not look tired or pale”
“So..”.
In the fort, the four of them saw a lot of troops from the half elves and a familiar figure for them to carry a familiar book as well.
“Oi, that person right..”
“That's the person who was there before!” Kino was a little hysterical. He also saw the book in that person's hand, “That's the same book! That's the book inside the crystal!”
Kaito and Xenon watched him carefully. Then something terrible happened.
The troops with the royal flag at that time began to attack the half elf vanguard. Initially, the victims began to fall. Until finally the figure opened the book he was carrying and then something happened.
[Artifact: Spellbook of Judgment]
“......!!” the four noticed this and began their surprise.
Out of the book came four objects, one of which was clearly visible and the other three seemed to break.
“Dread Scythe!” Xenon shouted when he saw the object
Kino looked at Xenon with a face of shock.
“Dread Scythe? [Artifact: Dread Scythe] by Mark-san.”.
“Oi oi oi, then the book is Artifact too! The weird book inside that crystal ball is–”
When the amazing attack was about to be made, it turned out that the white light had once again sunk the four.
“What happened?!”
“We swallowed la–”
-Siiiing
All disappeared.

At present…
Kino opened her eyes and they returned to the secret room. There he found none of his limbs injured, but cold sweat and a pale face were clearly visible.
The cold room was meaningless because the sweat came from his fear.
‘I think I'm dead. Being hung, pinned down by magic and killing myself by slitting my own neck was not my wish’
As he looked towards the crystal ball that was nearby, Kino's expression instantly changed.
“Why...begini?”
