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

Although the battle plan was established, escaping the operation was obviously very difficult, let alone retrieving the Holy Grail.

At this point, who needs the Holy Grail?

If everyone loses their lives, a massive calamity will bury everyone present alive.

Or should we just leave Jason here?

However, thinking of this, Fujimaru had a better plan.

Chapter Sixty-Six Jason: I Was Here First

If we're talking about this situation, the only solution is undoubtedly Jason, who's currently inside the Demon Pillar!

As a brilliant strategist who outwitted Odysseus, Jason possessed the ability to create miracles in dire circumstances.

"Medea, can you break the link between the demon pillars that are attached to Jason?" Fujimaru Ritsuka asked hurriedly.

"..." The girl in purple looked very troubled; it seemed her expression told us everything.

The curse bestowed by the Magic King Solomon meant that Medea, as the defeated one, had no way to fight Jason, who had been transformed into a demon god pillar, no matter how powerful her magic was.

"There is only one solution: beat Lord Jason to the point of near death, and then let me heal him with my Noble Phantasm."

Medea answered honestly.

She originally wanted Jason to die a peaceful death to avoid facing the heartbreaking despair that followed, but... sure enough, he still got lucky.

“I see. But we need Jason’s strength now, so... in order to rescue the captain of the Argo, let’s kill Jason first!”

Jason: ? ? ? ! ! !

Without hesitation, Mash was the first to answer the call, grabbing her large shield and earnestly joining the corrupted Heroic Spirit in biting at the Demon God Pillar...

Ah, no, it should be "call".

If you want to bite, you only need to bite Fujimaru Hashira.

Artemis's bow was drawn taut into a full crescent shape, filled with terrifying and immensely hot magical power.

You will die. You will definitely die.

Even without thinking, Jason could understand that although he had little consciousness left, he was aware that his life was in grave danger.

The Demon Pillar swayed its massive body, the enormous, tentacled, terrifying and disgusting creature's eyes revealing a wronged expression.

What a pitiful fellow.

Mashu didn't care at all and used her shield to smash him. This version of her hadn't learned any "backhand strike" skills, but she had learned quite a bit of the killing skills of the Knights of the Round Table.

Mashu is an honest girl, like a blank sheet of paper. What colors she will reveal in the future depends entirely on what colors the painter chooses to paint on her.

"Ughhhhh! Healing! Medea, heal me now!"

The blond youth, who had been dragged out of the Demon God Pillar like a dead pig, cursed and gave orders.

"You will heal me, won't you, Medea? You will definitely heal me!"

"Give me treatment quickly...give me treatment quickly."

"I'm sorry, Lord Jason, I can't... Although I really want to say that, I'll treat you right now." Medea Lily smiled happily and even made a playful little joke.

Jason: "Are you an idiot... You lied to me before, and then you pretended to be all innocent and pure."

The blond youth glared at the girl, and as Medea used her Noble Phantasm, Perfect Repair, Jason's terrible injuries were instantly healed, and a roguish fellow reappeared before everyone, full of energy and vitality.

“That’s good, Jason… It seems your will hasn’t been completely corrupted by the power of the Demon Pillars yet.” David smiled and nodded to the blond man.

I don't know if it was mockery or something else.

Presumably, he still remembers Jason's plan to use his Ark of the Covenant to achieve invincibility.

"Tch, I never want to experience that feeling again!" Jason shook his head hastily, like a rattle-drum, and then glanced at everyone.

Recalling the terrifying scene just now, the guy's expression changed, and he quickly composed himself, trying to appear as if it was no big deal.

"No... I mean, it's not a big deal at that level."

"You must have some use for me since you pulled me out of there, right?"

"Although I'm reluctant, I still have to repay this favor. You over there, human... you're the useless Master, aren't you?"

"Oh, are you calling me?" Fujimaru Ritsuka replied casually.

"Nonsense, who else would I call if not you! If you guys insist on me joining the team no matter what, I might help you."

"But let me make this clear beforehand, I'm not going to fight."

Orion the bear spun around on Artemis's shoulder, then said with a hint of disdain, "What? That's completely useless."

"That's not your place, a teddy bear, to talk to me! I'm the captain, after all. As the captain, I'm responsible for coordinating your forces, right?"

Jason had a confident and composed expression on his face, but Fujimaru Ritsuka knew very well that the guy was actually terrified and on the verge of losing his mind.

But it is precisely because of this that a breakthrough is possible.

---------

"Medea, pull Atalanta up first. Her anti-army Noble Phantasm is especially suitable for clearing a path."

"Moreover, Artemis and Apollo have now descended here. Although they are not as powerful as Hercules, her reports may be even more numerous than before."

Jason gave the order to Medea, then looked at Hercules, who was still tirelessly fighting against the corrupted Heroic Spirits.

"Alright, Hercules, come back. You don't need to fight like a wild beast over there. Protecting our safety is the most important thing."

Jason, seeing Barsaka frantically hammering someone in the same spot, gave the order.

"Roar--------!"

Uncle B glanced at Jason, said nothing, but let out a lazy roar.

Then they continued their battle against the corrupted Heroic Spirits.

？ ！！

Hercules... he's disobeying?!

Jason felt a pang in his heart, more heartbroken than when he was betrayed by Medea, or when he betrayed Medea.

That's the great hero Hercules! He's not listening to him anymore... Could it be that the great hero has betrayed him?!

"Come back, Basaka—!"

Ilya cleared her throat and then called out loudly.

Jason glanced disdainfully at Ilya, mocking her overestimation of her abilities, and let out a disdainful sneer.

"Baka! If you won't even listen to me, then no one in the world can command Herak!"

"Fuck-!"

Jason was stunned. Just as the little girl finished speaking and before he could finish his own words, the mighty Hercules, like an obedient little dog, came running over with heavy, trembling steps.

Jason stood frozen in place, dumbfounded. A gust of wind blew by, leaving the blond youth bewildered in the wind.

Why, why did this happen?!

[That's the great hero Hercules! Why is he acting like a lapdog in front of a little girl even younger than Medea?!]

[I am... I am clearly Hercules's brother!]

P.S.: I recently found a job with a two-hour commute every day, and then I have to write when I get back... I have to work 12 hours out of 24. I've never had such a tough time, not even during my college entrance exams. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to keep going.

Chapter Sixty-Seven: 13 Star Heroic Spirits

"..."

Ta-Miao had no intention of using her Noble Phantasm, but with the two great gods watching, she had no choice but to draw her bow.

"Let's go, heroes of the Argo!" Jason waved his hand, preparing to lead everyone out of the desperate calamity.

"Roar------!"

Ignoring the triumphant Jason, Hercules stood guard beside little Ilya, completely forgetting about his brother.

No matter how impotent and furious Jason was, it couldn't change the fact that Hercules completely ignored him, though this wasn't always the case.

"Hmm... Jason, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible."

Fujimaru Ritsuka revealed a sly smile and said.

"What ideas... what kind of ideas could you possibly have?" Jason grumbled, a bad feeling creeping over him.

"My thoughts..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Of course we should use the legendary Noble Phantasm of a 13th-star Heroic Spirit."

"Activate the Noble Phantasm [Radiant Ship that Tears Through the Sky]!" Fujimaru Ritsuka decisively gave the order.

Jason was stunned.

"What?! You actually—!"

Before Jason could finish speaking, Atalanta immediately raised her boot and kicked Jason in the buttocks without any mercy.

"Go away—!"

Poor Jason was kicked directly into the center of the corrupted Heroic Spirits, and it looked like he was about to be overwhelmed by the black army... Then, countless arrows flashing with green light fell down from the sky.

"Yosh, friends, Jason's combined attack technique is about to begin!"

Ta Miao drew his bow to its fullest extent, full of fighting spirit, just like a proud and untamed cat.

"Hey, hey, hey, Atalanta! You bastard...you...I'm the captain, the captain—!"

Countless arrows surrounded Jason

"Hey—!" Medea, holding her golden wand, floated in the air and followed, then arrived in front of Jason.
