Chapter 462

And just at this moment, fierce fighting erupted once again outside the theater; the second wave of Heroic Spirits had already arrived!

】

【Mercurius: "Tsk tsk tsk, Master of Beasts, what a resounding title. This truly is an unprecedented moniker."】

【Jeanne d'Arc: "... How could this be... If the only reason for killing the last Master of Pan-Human History is something like this, then what exactly are we Heroic Spirits supposed to be?!"】

【Archer (Emiya): "Still don't understand by now? Heroic Spirits are just part-timers for Alaya, mere tools, aren't they? Isn't that already obvious enough?"】

【Tezcatlipoca: "Heh, there's really not a single thing wrong with saying it like that."】

【... (Note: The source text here is garbled/corrupted)...】

【Hatsuharu Kazari: "They probably would, after all, Ritsuka's ultimate goal is to save Pan-Human History; it would be too unwise to throw away her life here for nothing."】

【Aqua: "I personally think she should just perish together with them here; that's what a protagonist is supposed to do, right, Kazuma!"】

【Satou Kazuma: "... I get the feeling you're implying something about me."】

【Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Heh, I would. Why wouldn't I? Human Order won't even let me return to Chaldea, so what's wrong with making a few friends while I'm out here?"】

【Ichimaru Gin: "Friends with a Beast? And just how many is this now! Hahahaha! Interesting, this is truly too interesting!"】

【Kumoko: "Then what is Fujimaru Ritsuka supposed to do? There's an army of Heroic Spirits outside, right? And Beast Nero is already heavily wounded; how is she supposed to fight this?"】

【Chaotic Evil Gudako: "Absolutely possible! Absolutely possible, I say! A mere few hundred enemy troops, watch me wipe them out in one blow!"】

Fate World

Even a Beast can be commanded...?

After being stunned for a moment, the crowd suddenly reacted, and the eyes of countless mages began to glow!

They understood: so what if it's a Beast? Simply put, it's nothing more than a magical energy crystal larger than any Heroic Spirit!

Servants can be commanded because there are existences stronger than them suppressing them, thereby using magecraft to command them. But what about a Beast?

Having understood this, a crazy thought was born in the minds of countless extremist mages: that is, to command... a Beast!

Weaken a Beast to a near-death state, and then command it!

But...

In the Fate world, the Beast who saw this scene shook her head. It is true that Beast Nero is near death, but from beginning to end, it was the other party who actively chose Fujimaru Ritsuka.

What she cares about is not living, but Fujimaru Ritsuka!

What exactly does Beast Nero want to do? The group of Beasts frowned. A Beast that devours the wishes of salvation...?

Across the Myriad Worlds

Everyone simply couldn't suppress the smiles at the corners of their mouths. These countless Heroic Spirits once fought desperately for Fujimaru Ritsuka in the Temple of Time!

But what about now?

It's still that same group of Heroic Spirits; although they have lost their consciousness and are merely acting as shadows, they are more than enough to serve as supporting roles.

Now that Beast Nero has established a connection with Fujimaru Ritsuka, if Fujimaru Ritsuka wants to survive, she can only pin her hopes on Beast Nero~

How should she choose... No, the answer here is already self-evident. They should be asking: how can she accept Beast Nero's proposal without making this savior of Human Order look awkward while cooperating with a Beast~

Fujimaru Ritsuka, oh Fujimaru Ritsuka, no wonder Human Order would reject you; you are a crafty human indeed!

【

The second wave of Heroic Spirits strikes; the arrivals are actually Beast Nero's Roman Empire!

Beast Nero falls into a brief moment of sorrow and silence.

And Fujimaru Ritsuka, in order to protect herself, can only use the Shadow of the Spirit Origin to repel one enemy after another. But there are simply too many enemies, and Fujimaru Ritsuka's Magic Circuits feel as if they are burning in an instant!

Star of Tears, Sword of the War God—just at this moment, above the sky, beneath the blood-colored band of light, a voice rings out softly.

Then, a giant sword descends from the sky, plummeting straight toward the earth!

"Damn it!", Beast Nero naturally sees this sword. She flashes to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side and then uses all her strength to barely block this blow!

The blood-colored barrier shatters, and Beast Nero lets out a roar. Then, the sword of light turns into fragments and disappears from where it was. She is covered in blood from head to toe, but her eyes become increasingly cold and unsightly.

"Did you save me?", Fujimaru Ritsuka asks in disbelief.

"What... are you doing! You... are not a human who can end here!", Beast Nero turns around and stares at Fujimaru Ritsuka. "If you are also a Master of Chaldea, it's just a Beast, so just command it!!!"

"....!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka falls into silence. That's right, she... regardless of any reason, cannot end here!!!

"By my Command Spell, stand up, Draco!", Fujimaru Ritsuka extends her hand, and the blood-red Command Spell envelops Beast Nero!

"Ha... Hahahaha! I didn't expect you to use a Command Spell! But well done!", Beast Nero recovers her peak state and bursts into laughter.

Then, she suddenly stops laughing and takes a step outward. A hurricane rises in that blood-colored world, and then the blood-colored magical energy turns into arrows, piercing through dozens of black shadows!

In front of Beast Nero in her peak state, this army of Heroic Spirits simply cannot resist, and soon she defeats all the Heroic Spirits.

She returns to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side again. Both of them fall into silence, and then simultaneously open their mouths to thank each other.

The two fall into silence once more, and finally, it is Beast Nero who breaks the silent atmosphere.

The golden-haired little girl hums lightly, "This body is a juvenile form, and because I have just recovered from a serious illness, if I were to be an enemy to all the Heroic Spirits here, it would take some effort."

Fujimaru Ritsuka looks at Beast Nero with even more silence in her eyes.

"... It's troublesome," Beast Nero sighs. "Don't make that kind of expression; my stomach will feel uncomfortable."

"And you were bragging so much," Fujimaru Ritsuka mutters to herself.

"I was not bragging. If I were the true Beast body, I could flatten this entire universe," Beast Nero shakes her head. Now is not the time to reminisce about the past.

Breaking out of the enemy's encirclement now is the most important thing!

Fujimaru Ritsuka is stunned. What does that mean?

"Nothing. Fighting for your life is your specialty, right? I'm looking forward to it, my contractor," Beast Nero smiles maliciously.

The girl suddenly feels a chill, and then the world spins before her eyes. In the blink of an eye, she arrives at a new place!

This is a sea of stars... A pitch-black warship is anchored in the sea of stars. On the warship, several humanoid black shadows choose to open fire the moment they see Fujimaru Ritsuka and Beast Nero!

And Beast Nero, who is disturbed, backhands a magical light cannon, causing the entire warship to suffer heavy damage!

So familiar... Fujimaru Ritsuka only feels that this scene is incomparably familiar. Where exactly is this...

】

Grand Temple of Time

... Goetia falls into silence. If Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't recognize it, he certainly had these scenes imprinted in his mind.

Isn't this the army of Heroic Spirits summoned by Chaldea when they attacked him back then? And isn't this place the Grand Temple of Time?

It makes sense. Fujimaru Ritsuka only borrowed the power of these Heroic Spirits, but he had personally experienced the power of these Heroic Spirits; how could he not remember!

So...

Is the Beast of Sodom imitating his Incineration of Human Order? Clearly, this is not some other chaotic timeline or a role reversal, so it can only be that the other party is imitating his Incineration of Human Order.

The purpose is... the same as him? No! Absolutely not!

If his plan could be completely replicated through a Singularity so easily, he would have already accumulated enough magical energy to destroy the entire universe.

So... is the purpose of the Beast of Sodom Chaldea itself?

Across the Myriad Worlds

Everyone sees it too. Isn't this the army of Heroic Spirits that fought Goetia back then?

As a result, the Goetia of the past has been replaced by Ritsuka of the present?

My goodness, only today do I know who I am!

0

Do evildoers have their own evildoers to grind them down? No, wasn't this Ritsuka also trying to save the world back then?!

Could the upcoming plot really be letting Fujimaru Ritsuka experience the feeling of being crusaded against by an army of Heroic Spirits?

Not understood, not acknowledged, clearly loving humanity, but having to cross swords with Heroic Spirits?

... Hiss, now that I think about it, was Goetia that miserable back then?

【

Amidst the chaos, more Heroic Spirits surround them. Being just a group of shadows, they simply won't have the slightest resonance with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

They only know one thing: kill this human who is related to a Beast!

Beast Nero relies on her powerful strength to take Fujimaru Ritsuka into a mine. Seeing the listless girl who can't pull herself together, she can't help but sigh.

"We can only escape this sector, but it's impossible to achieve." Before Fujimaru Ritsuka can show any light in her eyes, she continues to strike her down, "I was already at a dead end."

"Now it's just a final struggle, finally hooking onto you, this fragile hope."

This is her final struggle...

".. Since this is a Singularity, there should be a Holy Grail. As long as we recover the Holy Grail, we will definitely—", Fujimaru Ritsuka purses her lips and looks at the golden cup in Nero's hand!

"Hmm? You mean this?", Beast Nero shakes her head. ===== CHAPTER 464 =====
