I, Fujimaru Ritsuka, am back with a max-level character!

Looking at the dark mass of churning mud, Fujimaru already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on... Ophelia had failed to complete her mission of destroying Pandora's Box.

It's likely that the captain chose to launch a surprise attack, or perhaps he stole Pandora's box.

Although all of this is speculation, it is not something that is hard to imagine.

Simply put, the captain is the kind of stubborn fool who will blindly dive into any plan, no matter how meticulous or complex it may be.

It felt very dark around me. Although it wasn't pitch black, the visibility was still very low.

The great god of light, Apollo, was the only source of light in the darkness, and Artemis used him as a lantern or torch.

A wooden stick was shoved straight into Apollo's stomach, while Orion watched gleefully from the sidelines.

What a harmonious and loving family!

Today you blow my head off, tomorrow I'll stab your stomach.

All I can say is that the future looks promising.

"Senior, be careful!"

Mashu walked behind the boy, cautiously observing their surroundings.

Every now and then, corrupted heroic spirits would materialize into human form, but they were all wiped out by Fujimaru and his group with just a few punches and kicks.

However, that's not the problem right now.

The main problem is that after these corrupted heroic spirits are destroyed, they will still re-coalesce and soon form a large army of corrupted heroic spirits.

......

Fujimaru watched as the dark, raging waves surged forth, seemingly about to destroy the entire forest. Then, those dark waves quickly coalesced into a terrifying army of dark heroic spirits, which swarmed over like locusts.

These heroic spirits are not powerful, and they don't even have Noble Phantasms. Even a hero like Paris could take down a few of them.

The problem is that it cannot be eliminated or purified. Even if it could be purified, the magic would probably be difficult to sustain, let alone defeat the captain who possesses Pandora's Box.

"Stand behind me, senior, we must break through this enemy formation!"

Fujimaru didn't recognize the dark, shadowy heroic spirit. Perhaps it wasn't even a heroic spirit at all, but rather a phantom spirit with regrets from its previous life.

Mashu was surprisingly quick and efficient. At this moment, she was like a mini-Hercules, facing the endless darkness, and a huge shield directly knocked away several figures.

On the other side, Asterius wielded two enormous battle axes, moving with unparalleled ease, hacking the corrupted heroic spirits into a river of mud.

Mashu was puzzled. She blinked and said, "This is really strange. Although these calamities are indeed coming in our direction, I still feel..."

"Yeah, that's true. It seems like these guys are after something in that area..."

"It's like he's gone mad."

boom----!

A fully armored, corrupted Heroic Spirit slammed heavily against the shield. Mash grunted, but said nothing.

After realizing what was happening, the corrupted Heroic Spirit simply stepped over Mash's tilted shield with a series of clangs.

"Don't these guys have any interest in us?"

"Even with my goddess-like beauty, I couldn't bewitch them. It seems I've really been underestimated."

Euryale felt a surge of displeasure; her charm seemed completely useless, like a fake skill.

"Don't use your charm on this so casually!!"

Do you think we're dying too soon?

Bewitching corrupted heroic spirits, how did this guy even come up with that idea?

"This is a very important principle. In this world, there should be no man who cannot be seduced by me, not even the undead!"

The young goddess, however, was unusually stubborn in this regard.

It's impossible to know what to say about her.

"So many corrupted Heroic Spirits ignore us; perhaps there's something more delicious than us," Orion said lazily.

Anyway, no one knows that this guy made a move, or rather, even if he did, it wouldn't make any difference now.

Looking at the small bear doll with affection, Artemis said with a smile, "As a goddess, it's really a bit unpleasant to have your attractiveness overshadowed."

As the goddess in charge of fertility and childbirth, it is indeed fitting to call her Arthemies, the legendary goddess of a hundred breasts.

However, her greatest skill was using her bow to take the head of a general from among a million soldiers as easily as taking something from a breast.

-------

Instead of fighting the corrupted heroic spirits to the death, the group followed the crowd and gradually moved in a certain direction.

The surrounding environment has been destroyed beyond recognition. Trees, grass, and even insects and wild beasts have all been swallowed or crushed by the black mud.

A massive, corrupted heroic spirit surged toward the purple light like a madman, each step like a zombie that had caught the scent of human flesh.

This scene inevitably evokes the image of ants devouring the corpses of cicadas, a dense mass of enormous cylindrical objects emitting screams and cries, repeatedly swallowed by the black tide of heroic spirits.

That's really tragic, Jason. I have to say, you and [Fonus] are actually being devoured as nourishment by corrupted heroic spirits.

Two beautiful goddesses were defeated by a foul-smelling broken pillar.

It's so disgusting.

At this moment, Fujimaru spoke up.

"It's a Demon God Pillar—! And that glowing thing... could it be the Holy Grail!?"

He realized what these corrupted beings wanted.

I vaguely remember that during the Third Singularity, the equally enormous demonic pillar, Fornius, descended upon Captain Jason.

The reason for her arrival was that Medea Lily used the Holy Grail.

"I see. Da Vinci said that heroic spirits transformed into calamities would seize the Holy Grail... Is this why we were attacked by calamities on the ship?"

Mashu suddenly realized, and she immediately looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Senior, what should we do? Should we fight... or just watch the Demon Pillar and the Black Mud kill each other?"

Demon Pillar: Do I look like someone who would kill each other?!

Chapter Sixty-Four: Meeting

Mashu was very happy because her senior had completely acknowledged her last night and formed a deeper contract and bond with her.

Thinking of this, Mashu blushed slightly, but she was also filled with enthusiasm. No matter how difficult it was, she would definitely complete her senior's instructions.

【I'm sorry, Ophelia-san, Mashu... I'm already in your senpai form.】

Fujimaru, of course, did not notice Mashu's little thoughts. He looked at the Demon God Pillar and then at the black army of Heroic Spirits.

Then a decision was made.

Regardless, let's find out the situation first. Since the Demon Pillar is barely alive, Medea might also be alive.

They are not bad people; there is a possibility that they might be turned against us this time.

Fujimaru Ritsuka made her decision.

"Help the Demon God Pillar, Mash, let's help the Demon God Pillar."

"Okay, let's start observing...wait, what?!"

Senior, he... Senior actually...

I don't understand... could it be... could it be...

"Senior, since you chose to help the Demon God Pillar... I guess... I guess you betrayed us too?!"

Mashu suddenly paused, then spoke in an extremely sorrowful tone.

"?"

Just as Fujimaru was confused and bewildered, a look of pain and struggle flashed in Mashu's gem-like eyes.

......

However, this pain only lasted for a moment, and Mash suddenly became determined.

"Although the decision is difficult, if it's for my senior..."

"Even if it means betraying humanity, it doesn't matter. No... it's not about betraying humanity, senior is the embodiment of humanity!"

"Wherever the senior stands, that side represents humanity and reason!"

Just as the scene was about to fall silent, Mash's words shocked the group of Servants around them.

Why is everyone looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong?

The Servants looked Mash up and down again, as if this was the first time they had seen such a delicate and petite girl.

"Although the way you express it is a bit strange, I don't dislike girls who are obsessed with romance~~~"

Artemis smiled as if she were a laurel blossom.

Mashu blushed with embarrassment; it seemed that her secret doing some strange things with her senior had finally been discovered.

But how come you don't know whether it was Artemis who influenced things through her power of procreation?

"We now have a way to defeat the Demon Pillar, but we are not absolutely certain of defeating the endless calamities... Moreover, retrieving the Holy Grail was our original mission for this singularity."

Fujimaru explained, "Besides, even if there are monsters like the Demon Pillars on the other side, they are not necessarily evil enemies."

“But now calamity is definitely our enemy.” The chrysanthemum still had the round head of the doll Apollo poked by the chrysanthemum: “Master is right. Even if they are enemies, cooperation is still necessary.”

Mashu realized she had misunderstood and smiled sheepishly.

"So that's how it is. I'm sorry, senior."

Fujimaru dared not let Mashu apologize. Even if he were an enemy of humanity, Mashu would always follow him, which moved him deeply.

We must repay this girl properly. Not only should we ensure she lives past 18, but we should also help her have a litter of healthy sons. We must strive to make her live happily until she dies of old age.

Let her see the blue sky and white clouds, take her back to Japan... or even if you don't take her back to Japan, she can live her whole life in Chaldea, that's fine too.
