Earth Princess? No, it's Fujimaru Ritsuka!

Page 191

The princess asked, somewhat surprised.

It happened much earlier than she had expected.

"I want to try again, but I feel like I can't control my body."

"It's natural."

The princess said, "Your body and consciousness are disconnected; your body and soul, as a True Ancestor, have become separated."

"is that so?"

"That's about right. After all, even I'm the first in your situation, so it's hard for me to make a judgment."

"Hmm...I see."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was somewhat troubled: "Does that mean I'll never be able to change back, and I'll be stuck like this forever?"

"Of course not, but those people seem to be trying their best to help you... even though I'm the culprit... I feel a little embarrassed."

After all, the princess was a sheltered princess, and she was still quite shy.

It's a disgrace to the True Ancestor to make humans clean up the mess they created.

"Everyone--"

"Artoria, Mash, Mordred, Nero, Medea...wait...why is Jason here too?!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was quite surprised that this guy hadn't run away yet.

After all, when he faced Jason last time, that guy didn't seem like the kind of person who would take responsibility.

"Ritsuka, calm down first."

"Feel every particle in your body, every element that condenses into your light body. This may be difficult for you, but I think... you can definitely do it."

Unfounded confidence.

This puts Fujimaru Ritsuka under immense pressure.

For the True Ancestor, the light body can be considered a form of degradation.

The increase in size does not actually change the energy output.

However, it seems to be different with Fujimaru Ritsuka; she is more like [Kukulkan].

Although the difference in effort is significant.

—Fujimaru Ritsuka herself, enlarging her body will increase her output scale.

Because Fujimaru Ritsuka's transformation into a light form is itself a form of overcharge, she went berserk due to her inability to control so much power.

(Using Earth Princess's ability, she performed a move similar to Yu Meiren's, and then achieved an effect similar to Kukulkan's.)

So all you need to do is take good care of your body and activate your recovery abilities.

"Hmm... I'll give it a try..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka made up her mind.

As the beast's territory expanded, the seawater turned into black mud.

Due to the obstacles in this area, Fujimaru Ritsuka's enormous light body was finally limited.

The gravitational pull of the events seemed to have weakened considerably, and Fujimaru Ritsuka's pace gradually slowed down.

"It works! It definitely works!" Lily clenched her little fist.

“Very good, we are only one step away from success!” Jason nodded.

"It's time for her to make her appearance."

He stared intently at the sea, then swallowed hard. "At a time like this, we shouldn't be affected by the phenomenal world anymore... So, now's the time!"

Wow!

The sea surface is floating.

Then, a loud bang followed...

A giant azure dragon formed from energy burst forth from the seabed!

Jason's backup plan was Kiyohime, who had been accumulating power at the bottom of the sea from the very beginning.

Although Otohime is a phantom spirit from a fairy tale, she is also a princess from the Dragon Palace. After fusing with Kiyohime's spirit base, her attributes after dragon transformation will naturally be enhanced.

A giant blue dragon rose from the sea, its mouth filled with scorching flames.

Kiyohime raised her dragon head and let out a roar.

She was like a giant python, spiraling upwards around Fujimaru Ritsuka's massive body... her body was like a living rope, instantly taut and wrapped around Fujimaru Ritsuka's enormous form.

It tightened circle by circle, with a constricting weight, locking Fujimaru Ritsuka's luminous form into the ring of flames.

"Kiyohime?"

"Master...I'm here. I'm sorry I'm late."

It must have been extremely difficult for Kiyohime to conjure such a massive dragon form.

"Let Kiyohime hold you tight! Hehe... I won't easily miss this opportunity to hug you."

"My love is like a blazing flame, tightly embracing my Master. Even if it burns out completely, I will never let go~~"

In the hazy light, the form of a dragon emerged, a monster from fairy tales, slowly shrinking and entangling as if it wanted to devour Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Hmm...it feels like it's going to swallow me whole?"

Maybe it's an illusion.

Fujimaru Ritsuka thought with a wry smile.

—It's highly likely that there's nothing to it.

Let her be.

Fujimaru Ritsuka cleared her mind of all distractions.

Immerse your consciousness in the blazing light.

Everything seemed to have settled down...

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt as if time had frozen at that moment.

That crimson light resembled a burning sun... At the center of this sun, the core trembled.

The red ripples expanded outwards.

Little by little.

The radiant light continued to extend outwards.

The enormous red light object ceased its movement.

It looks like a sculpture of light.

Click...click...click...

"What happened?! Senior, she..."

Mashu looked nervous.

"What exactly happened...?"

"I don't know," Jason shook his head. "We can only pray that Lady Luck is on our side..."

"I've used every means at my disposal. If I were the Master, I might be able to do even better..."

Jason admitted that there was an element of gambling involved.

But luckily, he made the right bet.

Under multiple weakening effects, Fujimaru Ritsuka's light output level continued to decline.

If Fujimaru Ritsuka is still conscious, the chances of her controlling her body will increase significantly.

If all else fails...

If all else fails, Jason will have to try using his Noble Phantasm to summon reinforcements...

I just don't know how many people will respond to me.

Jason, however, didn't care. As long as Hercules answered the call, everything was basically settled.

Unfortunately, Hercules was not there.

"That should be about enough, I hope Kiyohime can hold on... Phew..."

Plop.

Jason sat on the deck, rubbing his forehead, and said, still shaken.

"It's really scary."

"Lord Jason hasn't done anything, so why does he feel tired?"

Medea tilted her head and asked innocently with a puzzled look.

"Idiot, of course it's a waste of brain cells! And do you think commanding is such an easy job? These distinctive guys can do unexpected things if you're not careful!"

It is difficult for ordinary people to make the right judgment in a very short time.

However, Jason has a fast thinking speed and strong analytical ability, and is able to detect anomalies in a short time.

So if he gets serious, this guy is not to be underestimated.

This time, I'm temporarily replacing Ritsuka in deployment... Although I don't have Master privileges, I can still pair different Servants together.

"That's really... impressive."

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but sigh.

"However, let's end it here."

We have already caused everyone too much trouble.

I feel a little embarrassed to keep asking everyone for help...

We are all heroes who have gathered together to save humanity. If we are only thinking of ourselves, then we are really going too far.

"I'm sorry..."

Boom~

The enormous body of light began to shrink proportionally.

Consciousness began to reclaim its place in the world.

No humans were injured.

At most, a large number of fish in the ocean will die due to the intense heat of the light.

Although the ocean began to recover in a regular manner as the light body was absorbed, as the sun set, the entire sky was also painted a dark blue color, the brilliant stars began to shine with their own dazzling light, and the sea surface was draped in the veil of the Milky Way.

Sadly, even if the world recovers, the fish and some marine life that died physically from the energy emitted by the light source will probably not be able to recover.

—But the jellyfish were fine.

The strange sensation in Fujimaru Ritsuka's body disappeared.

The sense of aversion that comes with becoming a semi-true ancestor is something that Fujimaru Ritsuka actually lacks.

She has a very strong affinity for people; she can accept good and also acknowledge evil.

Perhaps ordinary humans would feel a certain degree of disgust after becoming vampires.

But in fact, to some extent, she didn't have much of a resistance.

There are still many things to ponder, and Fujimaru Ritsuka has unfinished business... So, even if one day she loses her sense of being human...

—I still have things I need to accomplish.

Fujimaru Ritsuka slowly descended onto the water's surface.

It was as if nothing had ever changed.

"Wait... don't just suddenly leave them there, you idiot..."

The princess's voice came from the air.
