"how so?!"
Olga Marie could accept anything, except this: the extinction of humanity.
Chaldea fell at her hands, and humanity, under her protection, was utterly wiped out!
This matter, this kind of matter!
Olga Marie bit her lip—
However, at that moment, Rafe smiled sinisterly.
"Accept your death, you last descendant of the Animusfia family!"
Rafe extended his fingers towards Olga Marie, and a complex magic circle swirled around his arm, one ring after another. Then, a surge of magical power shot towards Olga Marie like a meteor!
"------!"
Olga Marie's pupils constricted!
He was just one step away from dying again!
Right now!
Fujimaru Ritsuka opened her eyes!
Chapter 17 The Princess's immense power is—Imagination Manifestation!
"Boring humans, Animusfia scum, and...foolish beliefs, what do you think mere astrophysical magic can accomplish? Don't be naive, Olga!"
Making no attempt to conceal his disgust and anger, Professor Rafe shattered the basketball-sized celestial sphere summoned by Olga Marie, then unleashed magic between his fingers powerful enough to utterly destroy her.
"Don't try to succeed!"
Mash raised her shield in front of her, her stubborn eyes fixed on Professor Rafe.
"Mash, how pathetic..."
When Rafe's gaze swept over Mashu, a hint of pity seemed to flash in his eyes. The girl's pitiful plight was the root of his actions.
"But all of this is meaningless, because you humans are already extinct. No matter how much you struggle, this world has already headed for a hopeless end. Hmm?"
"Wait...wait...no, no, Mashu—what's with the markings on your body?!"
The moment Mashu activated her magic, Lev's expression froze instantly, and his arrogant words came to an abrupt halt, as if his throat had been suddenly choked.
Leif possesses extensive knowledge and experience. As one of the seventy-two demons under the Magic King, Florence, he could tell at a glance that Mashu was not human!
That kind of power that is not human, that is so bizarrely denying human history, that pollutes human history... actually appeared on this girl?
What exactly happened?!
Rafe Lenore felt an unprecedented rage, fueled by those terrifying fish eyes and eerie shark teeth.
—It reveals a murderous intent stemming from betrayal.
"Whom am I doing this for...? What did I see that led me down this path..."
Unacceptable,
And therefore, it is unforgivable.
This wasn't a betrayal he felt because Mashu gained eternal life and achieved superhuman status. He simply believed that Mashu had chosen to abandon the beliefs she had always upheld in order to survive, and had changed her way of life in a despicable and vile way.
"Foolish, to have chosen this path?"
Professor Rafe looked at Matthew indifferently.
Without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed the magic cannon in his hand.
"What disgusting insects! I always said humans are a bunch of hopeless creatures, choosing such a despicable way to survive!!!"
"Incomprehensible."
Mash held up her shield and withstood Lev's attack!
She held her breath, her gaze resolute: "This is the choice of our senior, the requirement of our senior... If there is no way to save the world, what does it matter whether we are human or not?"
“What did you say—?” Rafe squinted.
"As long as I am Mash Kyrielight, and as long as Chaldea still needs my power, I can live without being human."
Will the dead defile noble souls?
No, in this world, there truly exists a lotus that rises from the mud unsullied!
The girl is willing to no longer be human in order to save the future.
At that moment, when Fujimaru Ritsuka made her choice, she already understood and was prepared for it!
This is the principle of protection, the principle of LordChaldea.
According to legend, the seat occupied by Galahad, the heroic spirit of Imashu, is the Calamity Seat, known as the "most dangerous seat." It is a seat that only the purest knights like Galahad can sit on. In other words, a soul like Galahad is not affected by calamities, and even if it is affected by calamities, it still retains its noble soul essence.
"A simulated unfolding, a Noble Phantasm, I stand upon the throne of calamity."
"【Lord~~Chaldea】!"
A shimmering magic circle unfolded, and the chalk-white city walls deflected Rafe's magic cannon.
"It's a Noble Phantasm?! Mashu, you really are a surprise..."
This is no longer an ordinary in-vitro fertilization procedure; we must take decisive action, otherwise the king's grand plan and ambitions may be disrupted.
"Since that's the case, then I won't hide anymore. You humans are extinct. As the last guardian of the graveyard, let me give you a dignified exit. This place, this very spot, will be the final tombstone of your human civilization!"
Rafe's voice was cold.
The aura of destruction grew stronger.
"This spirit foundation..."
"This is bad! It's already beyond Sheba's current detection limit. We have to find a way to fix it. Where's Leonardo?! She's the only one capable of fixing this equipment problem right now!"
Dr. Roman sent out a lament that was of no use in the channel.
He did hear Rafe's name clearly!
"My name is Florence, and I am the Demon Pillar dispatched in 2015 to carry out a mission to destroy you inferior humans!"
"You have lost the king's favor and his grace!"
"Prepare for your end!"
Rafe laughed wildly, and his body underwent indescribable changes.
"Florence! Could it be—?" Dr. Roman cried out over the communicator!
A terrifying spiritual reaction occurred, and a colossal pillar covered in eyes that stretched straight to the sky pierced open the entire underground void!
Countless eyes trembled, roared, and wailed on the Demon God Pillar, sending chills down one's spine!
"This is... Rafe's true colors?!" Olga Marie murmured. For the first time in her life, she felt she had committed an unforgivable crime. Although she didn't know it, she was guilty of trusting such a guy!
I can't believe he's still so trusting!
Since my father's death, I've always regarded him as a father figure... but now...
As the nominal second-in-command of Chaldea, but actually the number one, he was actually a traitor!
Leif Lenore, you bastard, you've ruined Chaldea's reputation by destroying humanity!
"Chief, protect our senior, stay behind me."
"Matthew?"
"Although I don't know what's going on, the big one is coming. Even if it's a monster, I'll still put up a fight! Trust me, I'll send you back to Chaldea."
The girl stood firm against the fierce wind, as steadfast as a rock.
Protecting is her belief, her principle, and her way of life.
Leif's belief that Mash changed her way of life is actually wrong...
Mash Kyrielight, this young girl, has never changed her way of living!
"boring."
“A pointless struggle... even if you are a Dead Apostle, a Heroic Spirit, or a human... it's all meaningless. Let me burn you all here!”
"Are you prepared to take this blow?"
The demon god stood tall like a pillar supporting the sky, its eyes, made of flesh and blood, radiating a terrifying light. Endless power gathered and surged from it, then erupted like a tidal wave!
—The time for awakening has come.
This is a destructive light from the holy sword that transcends the ordinary release of King Arthur; everything in sight will be completely burned away!
This is proof that he is known as the strongest incinerator!
It is—【Humanity Burning Style: Florence】!
This is true destruction, an existence that Mash cannot possibly overcome in her current state!
"Run! Mashu, Director! I know that monster's power quite well; you two can't defeat it right now..."
Dr. Roman spoke very quickly, then said to the short, stout staff member behind him, "Munir, quickly prepare for the anti-spiritual transfer, the director and the others can't hold on!"
Munir was in a real bind.
—How am I supposed to prepare when faced with a pile of ashes and ruins!
—Damn it, we have to hold on even if we can't hold on!
Mashu can only hold on!
You have to hold on, right now!
"Doctor, I...I can hold on! I can pull through!"
"Mashu—!" Romani cried out in alarm.
The burning light instantly bathed everything in sight in a glow.
"Hahahaha, it's useless, it's useless!"
"I know that the Burning Technique is the ultimate spell our king uses to destroy humanity, a spell that you humans absolutely cannot resist..."
"Ultimate mystery!"
The roar of laughter suppressed everything, and the flames destroyed everything.
Mashu struggled to resist, but couldn't help but let out a painful groan.
"Your end is near, accept your death!"
The declaration has been made; now we simply await death.
Amidst flames and smoke, the despairing tombstones of humanity are revealed.
Even though the Dead Apostles are incredibly resilient, they could very well be vaporized in the face of this terrifying power.
A power that a single Servant cannot defeat, a Demon Pillar with three times the Spirit Origin of a first-class Servant, killing a Death Apostle-transformed Servant would be a piece of cake.
“You stupid and idiotic scum, this is your end.”
At this moment.
A beautiful golden figure emerged from the flames and smoke.
"Well, you never know..."
"The Demon Pillar, Florence."
"What exactly do you see in those desperate eyes?"
[Fujimaru Ritsuka]'s cool, elegant, and noble voice slowly drifted out.
"The light of the stars shines forth here, transforming into a canopy covering the stars..."
"【Concretization of Imagination】".
As if given a command, the entire world underwent a dramatic transformation in an instant.
Chapter 18 Me and Mashu, who do you care about more?
"Wh...what?! Who are you?!"
A shimmering blue-purple light engulfed the flames, and an elegant girl with blonde hair and red eyes emerged from the smoke.
