"Piercing through the Rakshasa's indestructibility!"
The ultimate weapon against demons.
If the opponent is an exceptionally powerful being with demonic attributes, it wouldn't be surprising if it were a one-hit kill.
However, its power alone is enough to kill first-rate or even top-tier Servants.
"What...you guys?"
Who would have thought that a half-dead person would suddenly drop a powerful artifact in front of you?
Isn't this just looking for fun?
What a joke!
Finn wasn't careless, but he couldn't dodge it.
The blade of immortality was sharp enough to send this powerful servant back.
""
"Fine, I admit defeat... Falling to the legendary King of Kosala isn't so shameful."
Finn's eyes widened, and crimson blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
After all, among Servants of this great hero caliber, only Berserker Cú Chulainn could reliably defeat them in their prime.
In fact, if he were to unleash his Noble Phantasm, even Cú Chulainn might not be guaranteed a 100% victory.
“I’m sorry, but I must go see Sita no matter what.”
Rama firmly stated, "Therefore! I—"
Stab it!
The Undying Blade sliced through Finn's body once more.
"—We must defeat you!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's condition was not much better than Rama's.
On one hand, she needs to strengthen herself using her Mystic Code, while on the other hand, she needs to consume the Noble Phantasm and maintain Rama's healing.
But no matter what, she wanted to help Rama.
This idea is very willful and perhaps unreasonable, but the emotions that want to erupt in one's heart cannot be calmed for a long time.
The Moon Wheel Blade, the Undying Arrow!
Sajou Aika's eyes widened, a smile spreading across her face: "How interesting, the love of a hero."
"His spirit origin was almost destroyed, but he has managed to hold on until now solely because of his love for Sita... Heh."
"This isn't the legend I knew. I guess this is what regret feels like..."
For some reason, he let go of the hand of his loved one, which led to an unprecedented tragedy.
Sajō Aika doesn't want to do anything she'll regret. If she does, she might end up like Sajō Aika [prototype], whose love wasn't love for a lover, but a selfish, possessive kind of love.
Although Sajō Aika now shares the same emotions and thoughts, and even wants to possess Fujimaru Ritsuka and offer her her love.
However... she understood that someone like Fujimaru Ritsuka was not someone she could possess.
So, just being able to be by her side makes me very happy.
"Finn's spirit origin has disappeared."
Sajō Aika said, "Now, only Fergus is left..."
""
The situation seems to be turning against us.
Fergus frowned.
"Hmm...it feels like...I'm all alone now?"
"I take back what I just said. You guys are pretty good—but... even you guys, after defeating Diarmuid and Finn, shouldn't you be nearing your limit?"
Fergus said calmly.
"Your companions are being defeated one after another, yet you seem quite calm?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka asked, biting the bandage on her arm.
"companion?"
"It's not really that simple. We are just warriors who have been summoned. Life and death are preordained, it's that simple. But now our king wants to destroy humanity, so we, the summoned Servants, must also fight."
Celtic warriors have never cared about such things.
Fighting and enjoying the thrill are what he pursues.
This idea is completely at odds with Nightingale's.
"It's the final battle, Fergus."
Fujimaru Ritsuka bit her lip.
Rama, wielding the indestructible blade, serves as Fujimaru Ritsuka's right-hand man.
Nightingale still bore many injuries from the battle.
Castor, a magician who is a complete novice and knows absolutely no magic.
And Mash, holding a shield, with a resolute gaze.
"Let's decide the outcome with one blow. It looks like I'll most likely lose."
Fergus did not back down.
Nightingale is undoubtedly the most troublesome being. Generally speaking, berserkers are irrational beings who only know how to charge recklessly... but Nightingale is very obedient to Fujimaru Ritsuka's commands.
Such attacks formed a coordinated attack, and although none of the Servants were at their peak, their combat power erupted as smoothly as if they were a single person.
Is it true that having a Master makes you stronger?
Not only can he be a commander, but his own power is also enough to severely injure a powerful demigod hero like Finn.
Damn, this kind of thing is way too advanced.
Well... how should I put it? Even without a Master, defeating these Servants is no problem at all.
It was the kind of situation where he had just fought off Nightingale head-on when the shield-wielding girl charged in from behind, forcing him to turn around and swing his sword to fight Mash. Although he managed to gain the upper hand, Caster soon swung his wand like a flail and smashed several bumps into his head.
Especially fairy girls.
Her fighting style was far from well-trained; it was downright chaotic, reminding Fergus of the rampaging wild boars he encountered while hunting. Even he wouldn't dare say he could easily take down a wild boar.
However, at that moment, powerful magic once again attracted Fergus's attention.
That was the battle cry of the orange-haired boy.
The only arm that could move once again coalesced into a terrifying demon-slaying blade!
“Aa ...
The light of the Undying Blade dimmed somewhat, but the pain on Rama's face remained.
However, he actually wanted to unleash his Noble Phantasm once again!
"Stop, stop... Rama, you'll die if you use your Noble Phantasm in this body!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka was startled and quickly tried to dissuade him!
Legendary heroes may be merciful or they may fight with all their might.
But there's one thing I won't do.
That is desertion in the face of battle.
Whether it's Fergus or Rama, the radiant light contained within them—
belief!
"Don't you want to see Sita anymore?!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka used his beloved to try to persuade Rama to give up his desperate gamble.
"Of course I want to see him, but... but how much longer will this fight go on!"
"How much more suffering will Sita have to endure in prison?!"
"If it means she suffers just because I want to see her, I would rather risk my already broken spiritual foundation!"
"Master, after I'm gone... can you help me take care of Sita?"
His tone was sorrowful, yet resolute and determined.
Fujimaru Ritsuka could clearly see that Rama had tears on his face.
He fought for 14 years to bring his wife back, but for the sake of his country, he exiled her after their reunion...
To prove his innocence, Sita was even willing to be tested in the flames.
What does Fujimaru Ritsuka want to do...?
Right and wrong are no longer meaningful.
For Fujimaru Ritsuka, the real battle has only just begun.
—Because of the incident at Kunyuji IX,
—Don't I still have one hand that I can use?
Trading one hand for two people to reunite is the best deal imaginable.
I feel like I'm about to become Touma Kamijou.
Fujimaru Ritsuka thought to herself... she didn't even have time to prepare herself mentally.
Mardasang...
Lend me your strength and courage once more.
I want to do this no matter what—
I'm terrified because my right hand is still hurting...it hurts so much I can't breathe.
But even so...
If I don't work harder, if I don't put in more effort...
My world, everyone's world...
They're all completely beyond saving!
I closed my eyes, not knowing why.
An unusually strong anger within me.
Is it a condemnation of the injustice of fate, or a resentment to escape despair?
Or perhaps, it's the rage over the Demon King's unauthorized burning of human reason?
Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't know... and didn't want to ask her own heart.
Perhaps so. Joan of Arc's Alter revenge stemmed from the flames that gave birth to the desire to save the nation.
Therefore, the flames of salvation are indeed more furious.
—Of course I have the right to be angry!
Why can't I be angry?!
Even the gentle and humble Savior was angered in the Temple in Jerusalem when he saw the Pharisees amassing wealth in God's name.
Moreover, Fujimaru Ritsuka is just an ordinary human being.
"I'm sorry, Rama!"
"what?"
Accompanied by anger and sorrow, as well as long-suppressed emotions...
Fujimaru Ritsuka's left hand burst into flames.
Or rather, starting from the left hand, with a surge of dark fire...
