Chapter 760
"It is your freedom to treat Servants as friends, but he has already broken free from your control, not to mention that he is an out-of-spec Avenger!"
"The fire of resentment will burn everything away. With that kind of thinking, you won't even know how you died!"
"... Sorry," Fujimaru Ritsuka apologized.
Taira no Kagekiyo sighed, and Jeanne Alter also appeared to take Fujimaru Ritsuka home, telling her to go home early and rest.
Ritsuka's condition right now is too poor.
The next day, the group discussed it and decided to block Salieri at dusk to figure out what was going on!
In the music room, they found Salieri, and also found Mo Zhate!
The two were chatting about something in the classroom, and upon seeing the arrivals, Salieri attacked again, and Taira no Kagekiyo and the others showed no mercy in attacking Salieri!
But in the process of the continuous battle, Fujimaru Ritsuka's mental state became increasingly bizarre!
The burning black flames seemed to want to swallow everything!
Hatred spread in her heart! The killing intent on the girl's body spread visibly to the naked eye!
"I"
"Will kill the child favored by the gods right here."
"Salieri is correct; just act as you please."
"Just keep driving your power in the rage," at this moment, a bizarre smile identical to the other personality in the mirror appeared on the corner of Fujimaru Ritsuka's mouth!
"Kill!", she said with a smile, "Following this heart burning like flames, someone—"
"Kill, kill, slaughter them all—!"
"Until the very last one!"
Everyone who had never seen Fujimaru Ritsuka in such a state was struck dumb, a violent chill coming from the bodies of the Servants; they looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in disbelief—has this Master lost her way?!
But just as the flames were about to completely swallow Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mo Zhate, who had not spoken the whole time, finally spoke.
"What a headache," Mo Zhate revealed a helpless, apologetic smile on his handsome face.
He told Fujimaru Ritsuka that although she didn't know if the person important to her was alive or dead, she should still exist there right now—that is, in the position of Fujimaru Ritsuka's heart.
And Fujimaru Ritsuka revealed a painful expression on her face at this moment; her eyes no longer resembled a human's, but under Mo Zhate's words—
The blurred memories gradually surfaced in her mind.
The creaking soul and spirit raced, and just as the flames were about to completely swallow her, a brilliant light burst forth from the darkness!
Those beautiful memories extinguished the heart that had been covered by flames.
The Magic Circuits pulsed along with the Command Spells, and a blue Command Spell appeared on the back of her hand.
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the Command Spell in silence; she finally remembered her original intention—she had not traveled until now just to kill someone.
】
Across the Myriad Worlds
As expected, although they had long known it would be this result, everyone still sighed in regret.
Fujimaru Ritsuka will not fall into darkness, because she has too many people she cares about; she has not completely lost her way because she knows the person she cares about is still alive.
Therefore, before hope is completely severed, she will not walk down the path of darkness just like that.
And... isn't this result exactly what that person behind the scenes wanted?
He just wanted to guide Fujimaru Ritsuka into despair and then let her lick her own wounds and heal herself.
Who could do such a disgusting thing—there is no need to say more, right?
Hehe, Human Order, it seems all of this is in your plan!
You naturally evil brat of Human Order! I will grind you to dust right now!
【
"Whether it's revenge or anything else, there is never a 'too late' in this world, nor does 'too early' exist. You can make a decision while alive, or change your mind after death," Mo Zhate smiled as he looked at Salieri.
"What do you think, Teacher Salieri?"
Mo Zhate's words seemed capable of soothing the human heart, and the violent Salieri also gradually calmed down upon hearing these words.
Under everyone's gaze, he also said why he had become like this; it turned out that the Student Council President had used the Queen's face to say some things to him, causing him to completely lose control.
"The Student Council President and the Dean are very likely one of the masterminds behind this Singularity."
As the voice fell, that familiar, harsh trumpet sound rang out in the sky again, but the difference was that this time the trumpet sounded twice!
And this time, the third and fourth trials were activated simultaneously!
The Chaos Organization and the Desperate Throne, two trials activated at once; this time there was no teleportation, but Mary came directly to find Fujimaru Ritsuka!
She told Fujimaru Ritsuka that she was a Servant, and the reason she was able to deceive everyone was because of the skills in the third trial.
Mary was silent for a moment, telling Fujimaru Ritsuka that the murderer who killed her family was not her, and she could not say who the real murderer was.
Mary Alter summoned an army of magical beasts that almost filled the entire academy!
"My flames! My rage! No matter how they overflow, they will never end. This is but a mere fraction of my blood of resentment!"
"Oh, organs of rage! A world of eternal, infinite hatred, a world of eternal, infinite shouts of resentment—go and swallow them with the fire of hatred!"
Magical beasts burning with purple flames surged toward the group like a tidal wave!
Jeanne Alter and the others, who had thought it would be very exhausting, discovered that they didn't seem to be at a disadvantage!
It's the Master!
A proud smile appeared on Jeanne Alter's lips; she understood that the Master's magical energy supply to them had increased significantly!
But this also took a greater toll on Count Black Shadow...
"So that's how it is," Mary understood, but so what? The battle had only just begun!
For this night, they didn't know how many days and nights they had prepared; they had already been waiting in the gymnasium for a long time!
"You will absolutely not win, and you might even lose your lives because of it, so it's okay to run for your lives."
Jeanne Alter sneered, not caring at all, and even mocked, "We have long since had no way back; the Master's situation is the most important thing!"
"Oh my, is that so," Mary smiled and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka behind the group, "If you give up the trial, Ritsuka, your spirit and soul will remain here forever, and Chaldea will naturally be unable to reach Antarctica."
"The journey ends, the path to Human Order is completely sealed, turning into a blank sheet of paper."
"And you will spend your whole life in this world," Mary looked deeply at Fujimaru Ritsuka, then fled toward the gymnasium.
】
【Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Can I choose again? By the way, can I bring my family in too?"】
【Alaya: "Calm down! Ritsuka!"】
【Abigail: "Why do you keep using Human Order to threaten Ritsuka on the path forward... I really want to let Dad come over and solve these things for Ritsuka all at once."】
【Merlin: "This really needs to be calmed down! I'm still living well over here, and I can't finish watching the fun every day; I don't want to let that person come over and destroy this world."】
【Fou: "Fou fou!" (Go to hell, trash Merlin!)】
【Merlin: "What does that have to do with me!"】
【
The group did not hesitate, cutting a bloody path through the numerous magical beasts and arriving at the gymnasium.
And Mary had already been waiting here for a long time, and the Dean, Count Cagliostro, also stood before the group in his Alter-Ego form.
And Mary once again used words to make Fujimaru Ritsuka recall the three people who died tragically, attempting to enrage Fujimaru Ritsuka.
But Fujimaru Ritsuka was completely unaffected by her interference; she would absolutely not become an Avenger!
"Is that so?", Mary's eyes were cold, and she no longer held back; she switched her Saint Graph and attacked the group together with Count Cagliostro!
The battle was intense, and the entire gymnasium was filled with the sounds of fierce slaughter!
Fujimaru Ritsuka's brows were tightly furrowed, and Salieri saw her thoughts and reminded her that no matter what, she must not use the last Command Spell here!
If that Command Spell was also consumed, the final three trials would completely collapse!
He and Jeanne Alter exchanged a glance, and under Taira no Kagekiyo's offensive, they successfully activated their Noble Phantasms and attacked Mary alone!
But the result was that there was smoke but no injury!
"... No good," Fujimaru Ritsuka's brows were tightly furrowed; if she didn't use a Command Spell, she was afraid she wouldn't even have the chance to continue!
Just as she decided to use a Command Spell, Mary walked up and touched the black shadow, interrupting her, "No good. As long as I am here, you will absolutely never reach the truth of summoning a Servant."
But before Mary could reveal a smile, the next moment a long blade pierced through her chest!
What was shocking was that the person who backstabbed her was Count Cagliostro?!
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
Under everyone's confused and uncomprehending eyes, Count Cagliostro revealed a smile; he was not an Avenger, his true class was Pretender!
He was the ally that Chaldea had been hiding all along!
Mary clutched her chest, looking at the other person in disbelief; so... she had been betrayed again?
