Chapter 38 - 38 Plans Forming (1/2)
Gray looked down at the scattered bloodied bodies, the heavy scent of blood overpowered the other scents of iron and gunpowder. The request he had received from Talia had been completed, and any further ties to the League would only be to Talia, not to the League itself.
The Old Man of the Mountain had been really adamant about Gray ȧssisting the beautiful woman, so much so that even the other Heroic Spirits in the other Class Cards had made fun of him, despite earning their ire of the former Grand Servant.
There was over three levels to their underground base and even Gray had been surprised about just how many members there actually was in the Empty Coffin Gang.
”Over 30 members in the night club on the first floor. Over 100 members in the armory and sleeping areas for the gang, as well as a kitchen and lounge. And another 100 on the bottom floor. Just what are they hiding in here?”.
Gray's gaze was drawn to the various boxes in this formerly locked room. Despite the bloody mess he had left behind, all the boxes had the same word on them.
”Church of Areopagus? What the fuċk?”.
The cases were all locked with a rotational lock that needed a certain number sequence to obtain them. It would be a problem for a normal human to get into said case, but someone like Gray however-.
With a strength exceeding that of even Superboy, Gray cracked open the closest case in front of him, his eyes widening at what he had just found.
”The Helmet of Hades!.... or at least a copy of it?”.
The discerning eye of Rider, Shielder and Archer told Gray that his hat or helmet was just a copy of the original Noble Phantasm. Since the Age of Gods never ended in this world and magecraft never degenerated, the fake Noble Phantasm wold be about as as strong as a Projected version of it.
”Tauropolos... Durindana.... Goddess of War.... Harpe.... Winged Sandals.... Perseus' Mantle.... Mirror-Shield.... The Pelt of the Calydonian Boar.... Even copies of Zeus' thunderbolt, Poseidon's trident and Hades two-pronged fork!”.
The copies of the legendary Greek artifacts astounded all of the Heroic Spirits in Gray's possession. Despite just being copies, to be able to create such weapons in such likeness of the original, one must've at least seen the original copies in order to create such excellent fakes.
Gray instantly changed his Class Card, and his skull mask and black armor vanished, replacing itself with a silver rune armor with a red sash around his ċhėst.
Using [Dromeus Komētēs: Comet Form], the green streaked speedster moved the cases containing the copies of all the Noble Phantasm's into his penthouse, taking several minutes to make the dozen round trips or so. Just leaving the copies of these Noble Phantasms' were dangerous considering the League of Assassins were going to use this location in the near future.
Even Assassin, who was unusually biased towards Talia agreed to Gray moving the copies Harpe and Tauropolos to his penthouse. If wouldn't be a good idea if the League used these weapons against him in the future, if he just left them lying around.
Once Gray had moved all the weapons, his eyes narrowed, and his Class Card changed once more, his eyes turning red and his hair a dark purple, his bearing changing along with the change in hair color.
