Earth Princess? No, it's Fujimaru Ritsuka!

Page 323

“Saber... if that spear was once the holy lance you wielded, do you know its weakness? If we can find the opponent's weakness, perhaps we can find a way to defeat them.”

Iskandar's [Wheel of Divine Might] could not break through the Star Breath and the Endless Protection surrounding Fujimaru Ritsuka.

So at this moment he wanted to find another way.

"You mean—a flaw?"

Saber thought about it seriously, sighed, and then shook her head, saying:

"It's no use. As long as we're still on this planet, in this world, I can't think of a way to defeat them."

"this world?"

Iskandar's eyes lit up, and he suddenly raised his voice, as if he had thought of something.

"So, if we can fight in another world, we can weaken the enemy's power, right?"

"I can't be 100% sure, and... I've never seen a star spirit of that level even in my lifetime."

Artoria is uncertain.

Even among the fairies of Avalon, none possess the strength of Fujimaru Ritsuka, a star spirit capable of rendering her Servants unable to retaliate.

It's not that there aren't any, but there are definitely very few.

"Then let's try something. Saber, get ready. I will deploy a Reality Marble to pull all of you into my [King's Army], which will put the terrain in our favor."

"What about Archer? You're not going to let him enter your Reality Marble too, are you?"

"That's for sure. After all, we're comrades in the same camp now. Although that guy is arrogant, his strength is undeniable."

That being said.

But Gilgamesh wasn't the type to enjoy fighting alongside others.

He considers himself a unique king, and believes that only one person in the world is qualified to fight alongside him... He doesn't even consider the others worthy of his attention.

The collision between Rungomminiad and Ea caused a whirlwind to spread, which would normally have leveled the entire city of Fuyuki.

However...

The ground was almost completely intact.

All around, the sky, and this seaside garden remained fixed like an indestructible terrain map, unaffected by the clash between the Holy Lance and the Ea.

This was originally impossible.

But Fujimaru Ritsuka was able to do it, and even did it with some ease.

It's probably a matter of practice makes perfect.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's grasp of "nature" has also improved.

But this led Gilgamesh to discover further clues.

"This guy--"

Gilgamesh frowned.

"Could it be that they're controlling the outflow of resources while also protecting the city—"

"Just how well was the battle controlled?!"

Forget about whether there would be any casualties; the divine sword that split the heavens and earth didn't even kill a single insect.

There is indeed a certain gap in rank between the Holy Lance and the Holy Lance. With the same output scale, even if Gilgamesh had the power he had in life, Fujimaru Ritsuka might not have been able to win in this multi-wave battle.

However, Fujimaru Ritsuka's damage output did indeed suppress Gilgamesh.

"Don't you understand, King Gilgamesh?"

"Air, earth, living beings... everything in this region is my domain. As a demigod hero, the first and foremost hero-king in human history, you should understand that, right?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Gilgamesh's crimson eyes flickered, as if he wanted to see through Fujimaru Ritsuka even further.

"You're neither a god, nor a fairy, nor anything else—"

"The means by which this planet's fabric can be controlled and secured with star anchors—"

"Am I mistaken? Shouldn't such a mongrel be sealed away in a deep tower like a chain? When exactly was a primate like you chosen as a successor?!"

“You are different from my dearest friend; you first developed as an intellectual being and then acquired functional abilities, rather than acquiring functional abilities first and then developing as an intellectual being… I see…”

"Found?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka raised an eyebrow slightly.

Although the other party doesn't know who I am yet, they've already figured me out pretty much in their eyes.

He truly deserves to be called the oldest hero king.

"You scoundrel, who do you think I am? You can figure that out with just a little thought!"

Gilgamesh responded coldly.

The attack just now wasn't too heavy; Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't go all out, so it was probably still within Gilgamesh's tolerance range.

Gilgamesh's spirit origin and soul are of very high quality; if they were simply fed to the Holy Grail, it would cause a major problem.

But why does Kiritsugu Emiya still have the leisure to hide in the shadows and watch the show? Shouldn't he have already taken action?

Or--

Is the legendary magician assassin a powerful being who could even deceive the True Ancestor?

—As expected, the second monarch's information was wrong; there is no Emiya Kiritsugu here at all!

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

It's incredibly frustrating to have set up this situation only to have the fish not take the bait at all; it's like trying to catch thin air.

Where is Kiritsugu Emiya?!

Why can't I find it anywhere?

What exactly went wrong...?

Irisviel is definitely here; Kiritsugu Emiya would never leave her here alone.

But no matter what I did, I couldn't find or sense Emiya Kiritsugu...

Even the Star Inscription has no record of it.

How exactly did Kiritsugu Emiya manage to deceive me?!

Could it be that this singularity is related to him?

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka did not know Emiya Kiritsugu, he learned from Lord El-Melloi II that Emiya Kiritsugu was actually the kind of assassin who loved to use scheming and trickery.

It even has a magical barrier related to time engraved inside its body.

It is a factor that cannot be ignored.

The magician killer's methods cannot be judged solely by the strength of his power.

Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka was deep in thought, Iskandar once again charged forward in his oxcart.

The divine bull roared, thunder exploded in the air, and the Conqueror King fearlessly charged towards Fujimaru Ritsuka, his momentum unstoppable, his roar like thunder.

"Again?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the Conqueror King's figure with some surprise.

This is--

Was he the conqueror king whom the second monarch longed for?

Keng——!

The biting wind howled.

The world is roaring.

As the cycle of heaven and earth reverses, the world changes accordingly.

"Ahhhh! Berserker, I have a question for you, that is... do Star Spirits bleed?"

If you consider yourself invincible

"The world as you see it, let us conquer and overturn it!"

The raging winds of the extraordinary began to reach their peak, eroding reality. In this realm completely controlled by Fujimaru Ritsuka, the Conqueror King transformed it.

A bright red cloak billowed over his shoulders, and even when facing an almost invincible opponent like Fujimaru Ritsuka, Rider still wore a radiant smile.

In a moment——

Night turned into blazing sun.

The land is a vast desert, with an exceptionally wide view, stretching to the horizon beyond which raging sandstorms obscure the horizon.

The earth and sky, yellow and blue, are divided in two by an undulating wavy line.

"Is this... a Reality Marble?"

I have some knowledge of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

It's rare outside, but many people in Chaldea can do it. Sajō Ayaka can easily create the [Monster Princess], a Reality Marble imbued with the power of the Primordial Mother Goddess.

The ultimate magic is to transform the inner turmoil into a grand magic that replaces the entire world, or even a miracle that approaches magic.

Reaching this level is nothing short of a miracle.

I see...

Iskandar stood proudly in the center of the barrier, while Saber, Archer, and the others were moved aside to retreat.

Gilgamesh's crimson eyes finally fixed on the Conqueror King.

Do not!

It wasn't just the Conqueror King!

Everyone turned their heads to look.

That wasn't a person. Behind the Conqueror King, the ground was pounded again, and the world trembled!

One figure after another.

The cavalry and phalanx, each warrior a heroic spirit, their gleaming armor adorned with extraordinary splendor and strength.

"This world, this scene! It is formed because it is the mental image of all of us!"

"To be connected with them is my greatest treasure, my kingly way! To spread dominance and conquest throughout the world, this is the treasure that Iskandar is so proud of!"

"Star Spirit, be my witness!"

"My great achievements will demonstrate my determination to you!"

Iskandar raised his arms, boasting with immense pride about his prized team!

Its name is—【The King's Army】!

Amidst the swirling yellow sand, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt her blood boiling and surging.

"Wow, that's amazing! You're incredible, Conqueror King!"

"I never imagined you could summon other heroic spirits; that's truly a remarkable feat!"

"However, at IX years old, sulfur has passed away, and the group is still flirting..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was indeed very excited.

But it was just excitement.

In the past, she would indeed have felt nervous, but—when it came to dealing with Reality Marbles, she had already surpassed Reality Marbles back in the Second Singularity!!!

"Here comes Iskandar, the conqueror of might and glory—"

"Let me tell you..."

"The so-called end of the world!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka raises the Holy Lance high!

Although her voice wasn't particularly powerful, it was loud enough.
