This was an existence Luo Zhen and the others had never heard of.
And yet, it truly existed in this world.
Born from humanity's original sin and bestiality, it was an evil that had to be destroyed and overcome by humanity itself.
These evils were what were known as "Human Evils."
"Even I, the King, only knew of its existence. I had never seen it before. I never expected it to appear now."
King Gilgamesh spoke in a low voice.
"It is said that there are seven 'Human Evils' like this in total, and that they can also exist and manifest as Saint Graphs. The one appearing in this Mesopotamian era is likely one of them—the special Class symbolizing disaster: Beast."
Like the seven Grand Servants, they were not determined by the Holy Grail. They were the seven Saint Graphs chosen by humanity's bestiality.
Each of them was a great disaster capable of destroying humanity. As Merlin had said, only the seven Grand Servants chosen by the world, gathered together, could stand against them.
Now, in this era, one of the seven "Human Evils" had been awakened.
No, it would be more accurate to say that it had actually awakened long ago.
"The King of Magecraft sent the Holy Grail to this era precisely to awaken this Beast, didn't he?"
King Gilgamesh continued.
"But before the Beast awoke, Merlin, who possessed the 'Clairvoyance' that allowed him to see through the 'present,' discovered its existence. So he used his nature as a Nightmare Demon to drag the Beast into a dream and keep it asleep until now. The Beast has awakened, and Merlin's true body as a Nightmare Demon was killed, which is why he disappeared, right?"
The true body mentioned here was not Merlin himself in the Tower of Confinement
