Gamer System in Campione - Chapter 23

"No. As a father, you will always have my gratitude and my service." He responded quickly, breaking out of the embrace and patting the Sun King on the shoulder.

Ozymandias nodded as he quickly turned to Alexander Glascoigne.

"So, Black Prince. Do you find my explanation acceptable or are you refusing to answer my question?"

Alexander looked at Ozymandias' face for a long time, tension building in the air for some unknown reason as the Campione remained silent.

"No. I won't tell you everything I know about Guinevere" He rejected me.

"Why?" asked the Sun King, narrowing his eyes.

"Because. I desire the Grail. No matter what it is, whether it is a holy artifact of immense power or one that can revive a Heretic God who will bring the ruin of the world, I desire it. I will have it. I will decide what to do with it. after I have it."

Ozymandias' eyes narrowed towards the fourth Demon King.

This person may have shown restraint and civility in speaking, but behind all his stern and stoic personality he hid a man who demanded absolute obedience like a king, a person who would not hesitate to go to war if it meant having his path recognized.

And Ozymandias could not allow such a person to seize the Holy Grail. He was a person who wanted the Grail by having it. He didn't need it, nor did he intend to use it.

He only wanted it because he wanted it.

It was really problematic if such a person got the Holy Grail.

"However, before the Holy Grail, I want the Staff you hold. Give it to me," said the Black Prince seriously.

"No" said Ozymandias seriously.

"Why?"

"First," said Ozymandias, holding up a finger, "This staff is part of my Authority, and even if I wanted to give it to you it would be impossible. Besides, most of the condition of Alice's body has been healed, but not everything is healed yet. " said Ozymandias as he put more magic into his Authority.

"Besides, I just realized that I can't permanently cure Alice for now."

"What do you mean?" Goddodin asked, intruding on the discussion, his face serious and a little tinged with panic.

"It seems that the [Asklepios Staff], with my magic, can heal her eroding body to its healthy state" Ozymandias said with a frown beginning to cover her face: "However, I just analyzed her body and as we talked , my Authority's magic ran out and stopped healing her at some point. The problem is that her body got worse during that time. It was only a small amount, but even so, it corroded a little. What I'm guessing is, although the [Staff of Asclepius] can completely heal her while I'm by her side and provide magic, her body will get worse once more. The reason is that the disease itself comes from its immense power. If it shouldn't harm Alice , my [Authority] cannot take care of the problem, forcing his body to become strong enough to maintain its power"

Alice's power was so great that if the power of the [Asklepios Staff] stopped for just a moment it would get worse, for her to be permanently healed her body had to become stronger so that she could support its power, and for that she should be exposed to the power of the [Staff of Asclepius] for a long time.

"So…" Goddodin prompted.

"So Alice needs to have the staff inside her at all times to keep her body from getting weak again, along with a steady supply of my magic. I'm sorry. I wish I was able to heal your daughter, but…" I said Ozymandias sighing sadly.

"Sir Ozymandias…" Alice had a red tinge to her cheeks again but coughed, covering her face with her hand before looking at Alexander, "Well, Alexander? Are you going to take the only source of treatment for my illness? I know you love taking things like a kid, but even I don't think low enough of you to think you're the type to accept the source of salvation from a sick girl who's been bedridden for over a decade, I don't even think you want another politico between Arsenal Royal and Witenagemot."

The Dark Prince grimaced and looked at Alice and Ozymandias with suspicious eyes before turning back, sparks starting to fly from his body.

"I'll be back for now, White Witch" Her body began to glow with a pale bluish glow, "However, I'll be back to claim the staff when you're completely cured of your illness."

Before he could leave, Alice delivered the final blow: "Oh my God, are you comforting me that I will definitely find a cure? How kind of you, Alexander! I knew you weren't a complete bastard, but half of you a scoundrel. You just can't take the salvation of the poor, can you?"

The fourth Campione's eyes narrow in disgust as he finally turns back to Ozymandias.

"Know this Seventh Campione, when we meet again I will take the staff, and you too will pay for stealing my prey" said Alexandre with his eyes flashing with anger momentarily surprising Goddodin and Alice.

Ozymandias, on the other hand, didn't even show surprise clearly knowing what Alexandre was talking about.

About one of the [Heretic Gods] that Ozymandias had killed in the past.

The King of Heroes [Gilgamesh].

When the King of Heroes manifested on the banks of the Euphrates River, Ozymandias had immediately gone to fight him and subdue him, but apparently Alexander Glascoigne was also in the region and intended to fight Gilgamesh.

It wasn't much of a surprise to Ozymandias, for a thief like Alexander Glascoigne to kill Gilgamesh who has all the treasures in the world would be like finding a treasure chest.

So he was very angry that Ozymandias had stolen his opponent.

But even then the Sun King only looked with his narrow eyes at the Black Prince.

"Yes, and that will be the day the world will have one less Campione," said Ozymandias with narrow eyes that gleamed with power.

With a gleam in his eyes, lightning surrounded Alexander as he disappeared.
