Chapter 758
Fujimaru Ritsuka does not answer, simply looking coldly at the counterfeit Avenger Nitocris before her.
"I didn't even notice... you bastard! You bastard, how dare you lay a finger on such a terrifying thing!!!"
Nitocris keeps backing away, roaring in terror!
And the group no longer hesitates; Nitocris, with the help of the Count of Monte Cristo, summons the twin gods again!
In the end, the counterfeit Avenger Nitocris, who possessed the Saint Graph of a full-fledged deity, is slain on the spot!
But the three of them also retreat along with the Avenger Nitocris, their spirit particles dissipating in the wind.
And Fujimaru Ritsuka's revenge is successful. While pleasure rises in her heart, she cannot help but feel a trace of confusion.
Nothing is left.
A nameless voice echoes in the wind.
Revenge—it will not give birth to anything; it will only scatter negativity and tears across the world, burdening oneself with sin and punishment.
Even so, even if that is the case, you should have tasted it by now, this supreme and ultimate, dark pleasure.
The blood of hatred is so sweet, intoxicating the mind—

【Luvia: "Did Fujimaru Ritsuka fuse that black spear into her soul?"】
【Romani: "It seems that is the only possibility."】
【Gabriel: "That black spear is no good thing; it is a curse, the law of the end of all things, a god-slaying tool, an ominous weapon."】
【(Garbled text)... she has helped Nitocris now, and Nitocris is dead, she has reached the end of her life. Isn't that right?"】
【Lan Meng: "Blasting the enemy to pieces is what produces supreme pleasure!!!"】
【Anya: "Does this feeling really feel that good?"】
【Bai Cinan: "It feels ten thousand times better than being a snake spirit!!!"】
【Misaka Mikoto: "Get lost! Don't corrupt the children!"】
【Beast Nitocris: "Guiding our Master to revenge? This is getting more and more interesting. You, the person behind this Singularity, what exactly do you want to do? Or rather, what do you want to see?"】

Like a dream, like an illusion—
In 1838, inside a luxurious carriage, a Count discusses with his maid and housekeeper about the Pharaoh Nitocris and the British legend Boudica.
And this Count is determined to complete his revenge; no matter who comes, they cannot stop him from tasting the blood of his enemy!
In a dim room, Fujimaru Ritsuka opens her eyes, her deep pupils gazing at the ceiling without a ripple.
She had another dream. Although she cannot remember the events in the dream clearly, she has a sense of reality as if she were seeing someone else's memories, and... the helplessness of a loved one passing away.
Fujimaru Ritsuka packs her bags without a word. Upon stepping out, she sees a silver-haired girl with her hands behind her back, boredly kicking stones.
"Good morning," Jeanne Alter says, taken aback, as she greets her.
Fujimaru Ritsuka nods, saying nothing. Along the way, only Jeanne Alter is analyzing their current situation.
In yesterday's battle, the real Avenger Nitocris and the twins didn't stay; their combat strength remains unchanged, but looking at the situation, Hassan of the Shining Star will likely join their camp as well.
Fujimaru Ritsuka nods, still saying nothing.
"Hey, listen up. From now on, you can't be as reckless as before. That kind of thing must never happen again," Jeanne Alter says, feigning indifference, but her tone is very serious.
"... Yeah, let's go."
Dark clouds loom over the city, as if the sky is about to collapse, just like the girl's inner heart, making it hard to breathe.
Jeanne Alter bites her lip; she knows Fujimaru Ritsuka has not yet emerged from the shadows, even after getting her revenge.
At noon, Hassan also wants Fujimaru Ritsuka to pull herself together. This is a Singularity, and he says bluntly that all of this is just fake.
"Are the people who were lost fake? The way you are now, aren't you just being swallowed by the Singularity?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka does not refute him, simply stating that she wants some peace and quiet now.
After school in the evening, Fujimaru Ritsuka runs into her third-year senior, Mozart. He asks about the junior, Gire. Fujimaru Ritsuka can only answer that she will never come back.
Returning home alone, Fujimaru Ritsuka says out of habit, "I'm home."
There is no reply. The room is gray and dim; no one is there.
So it is like this... Fujimaru Ritsuka returns to her room. The hazy, blurred memories make it impossible for her to distinguish if this is truly her own room in her hometown.
It feels as if clouds are floating in her head; everything is blurry, but... conversely, something is also roasting her heart.
Fujimaru Ritsuka hangs her head, walking step by step toward the full-length mirror in the room. Looking at the numb, pale figure in the mirror, she asks herself.
"Why?"
"Why did they die?"
"Why did those three people die..."
"No, they were killed."
In the dim room, besides the girl asking and answering herself in front of the mirror, there is not a sound; it is extremely eerie.
The voice becomes increasingly cold and angry.
"By whom?"
"... Nitocris Alter?"
"No, the time she manifested must have been after that."
"So it's not over yet."
"The person who killed those three is still somewhere," Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly raises her head. Moonlight shines through the curtains, illuminating the girl's expression.
A pale, numb face, heavy dark circles... and those golden pupils revealing eerie killing intent and madness.
The vertical pupils are like those of a beast, fierce and tyrannical!
"What should I do to the object of my hatred?"
"Kill them?"
"With a heart burning like a raging fire, someone..."
"Like what I did to Nitocris Alter, like what I've always done to move forward, trample them, and then kill them?"
"...."
The pale beauty in the mirror raises the corners of her mouth in an eerie way. The smile is so terrifying and insane; the figure in the mirror seems to have spoken.
"Kill."
"You can feel it, can't you? In reality, killing with anger."
"Having this feeling, it feels great, doesn't it? It's very pleasurable, isn't it?!"

【Cú Chulainn: "Hiss, my scalp is tingling. I've never seen a Master like this, an Ritsuka filled with killing intent."】
【Jibril: "Ahhhhh! Has the little angel from the beginning evolved to this point! She's even rarer than before!"】
【Koyanskaya: "Golden beast pupils... and that sense of corruption, this feeling... it's like looking at one of my own kind. Hey, hey, Ritsuka won't really become a Beast of Humanity one day, will she?!"】
【Li Huowang: "? What are you doubting? What are you finding incredible? Didn't Fujimaru Ritsuka fulfill all the conditions for a Beast of Humanity long ago? She's the one who should have become a Beast! Hahahahahaha! Since the world tortures me, I will torture it back a hundred, a thousand times over!"】
【The Batman Who Laughs: "Hahahahaha! If it were me, I would have been driven crazy long ago! If you're not turning into a beast right here and now, what are you waiting for!"】
【Kirei Kotomine: "Ah, watching the path of others' corruption is so pleasurable~!"】
【Kang the Conqueror: "It's not pleasurable because I see Ritsuka corrupting, but because I see the injustice she has suffered and the outcome that will arise after she corrupts~!"】
Fate World
Everyone watches such an insane Ritsuka and cannot help but break into a cold sweat for her.
They have never seen such an Ritsuka; it feels like an awakened second personality wants to drag her into the abyss, and once Ritsuka turns dark, what will happen to their world?
It will definitely be destroyed!
In the myriad worlds
A great pleasure rises in the hearts of those who have never seen such an Ritsuka; that child has never shown that kind of killing intent before.
The aesthetic of that undisguised, insane killing intent makes them feel intoxicated with pleasure.
If it were someone else, they would only think the person was crazy, but since it is Ritsuka... the contrast is what matters.
So that's it; everyone understands now, because they are too looking forward to Ritsuka turning into a beast!
Too looking forward to her abandoning all the responsibilities she shouldn't have to bear, and taking fierce revenge!
Too looking forward to what Fujimaru Ritsuka with peak killing intent will show!
And now, it seems only one step is missing to make Fujimaru Ritsuka completely turn dark and embark on an irreversible path!
But can it really succeed?
