A bonfire party was held all night at the Demon Slayer Corps.
Nathan returned to the Nasuverse World amidst the reluctant farewells of the Kocho sisters.
The first thing to respond to his return was the Dimensional Forum.
[You have perfectly answered the question from Butterfly Mansion’s Insect Hashira, earning 2000 forum points.] Without a second thought, Nathan immediately invested all his points into the Astromancy Magecraft he had developed himself— [The Path to Godhood] In an instant, a vast star chart unfolded.
One after another, brilliant runes shimmered, piercing through layers of celestial bodies, like a tree taking root in the earth and spreading its branches.
Twenty-two paths glowed, the Fiery Sword Path connecting the Ten Sefirot.
On the ten celestial bodies, the one representing Earth shone.
A gentle angelic vision descended, stretching its form.
That was the starting point of the Ten Sefirot, the Sefirah of [Malkuth], representing the [Material Foundation].
The moment it was illuminated, the guardian angel Sandalphon descended, bestowing blessings upon Nathan.
Celebrating his first step on the path to godhood.
Nathan stretched his body.
[Malkuth] represented material existence.
In the worldview of Kabbalah, the four elements—Earth, Water, Fire, and Air—that constitute matter had opened their gates to him, rejoicing and dancing around him.
At his command, they would charge into battle like the most loyal soldiers.
Nathan felt as if he had returned to the Age of Gods, to an era when Magic Circuits weren’t needed, when one could directly see the mana in the atmosphere and manipulate it with ease.
‘It looks like I need to brush up on magic related to Earth, Water, Fire, and Air, as well as alchemy.
Hmm…
the sacraments from the Holy Church should also be a perfect fit for me.’ Nathan rubbed his brow, feeling that he still had a lot of work ahead of him.
Even though he had Muzan’s body, giving him effectively unlimited magical energy… But magic isn’t just about magical energy… It also requires sufficient understanding.
Magi are more like researchers on the scientific side, constantly studying the mysteries of magic.
The Kabbalistic System can transform one’s nature, but it doesn’t contain the methods for using it.
Buying them directly with points in the forum would obviously be too costly.
To keep progressing and adapt to the power he should possess at this stage, Nathan had to study hard.
“Now it’s time to summon the Servant.” Nathan walked into the basement.
When he bought the house in Fuyuki City, he had specifically chosen a standalone villa with a basement, much like the houses of Tokiomi.
In the basement, the summoning circle had long been inscribed.
He didn’t have to worry about the summoning slots.
He had already used his familiars to eliminate the serial killer, Uryu Ryunosuke, who would have originally been the one to summon Caster.
“If only I could really summon that person in Caster form.” Nathan now had a thirst for magic, and having a Caster as a teacher would be ideal.
“I shall declare here…” “Your body shall serve under me.
My fate shall be with your sword…” Nathan chanted the incantation and activated the summoning ritual.
With his current constitution, if he didn’t add any supplementary items and relied solely on compatibility summoning, he would most likely summon a biblical Servant like Jeanne d’Arc or Martha.
So, Nathan threw his summoning catalyst into the center of the ritual circle.
It was a picture he had drawn himself… a picture of Scathach.
Yes, a hand-drawn Scathach, and she was dressed rather provocatively.
There was no help for it.
Scathach’s legend was sparse in myths, and she appeared directly in the Land of Shadows, so it was impossible for anything related to her to have survived to the present day.
Even if there were any magical spears, they would definitely belong to her disciple, Cu Chulainn.
Nathan wasn’t interested in sharing a living space with a man for seven days, so using a provocative picture of Scathach to summon her was the safest bet.
He continued chanting the incantation: “Submit to the beckoning of the Holy Grail.
If you will submit to this will and this reason…
then answer!” “An oath shall be sworn here!
I shall attain all virtues of all of Heaven.
I shall have dominion over all evils of all of Hell!” “From the Seventh Heaven, attended to by three great words of power, come forth from the ring of restraint, Protector of the Balance!” A powerful magical surge rose in the basement.
Crimson magical light blazed, and an overpowering aura filled the basement, blowing everything away.
“Success!” Just seeing the graceful figure within the summoning circle, Nathan knew he had succeeded.
As long as it was a girl, it was a win.
“So, it was you who summoned me?” A slightly lazy voice came from the summoning circle.
Violet hair, crimson eyes, and a graceful figure.
She’s ninety percent similar to the face Nathan had drawn.
The one who answered the summon was none other than the Queen of the Land of Shadows, Scathach!
She casually picked up the picture that had been blown up by the wind, which depicted her own likeness.
Even Scathach was a little surprised, which then turned into amusement: “How surprising.
I don’t recall any prophetic spells spying on me, yet you somehow knew my appearance and attire.” She looked at Nathan, a smile curling at the corner of her mouth: “You’ve certainly prepared a surprise for me right from the start, my Little Master.”
