Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

If it is a human or other creature, it will be transformed into a monster like Rahm after falling into the black mud;

However, if they are beings that cannot be easily changed, like Servants, they will also be corrupted and turned into Tiamat's subordinates and enemies of humanity.

He knew that his Master was a disguised Servant, a living, breathing human being.

In other words, after Fujimaru Ritsuka falls into the black mud, he will likely be quickly transformed into a non-human monster, which also means that the Servant contract he signed with the other party will be immediately severed.

But, no.

The Servant Kingu can still clearly feel his contractual connection with Fujimaru Ritsuka, and he can also clearly feel her presence.

This……

"Pfft!"

Before he could think it through, the next moment, with another 'plop', the unharmed figure of Fujimaru Ritsuka leaped out of the black mud and reappeared in their sight.

"——!?"

Jin Gu's pupils contracted slightly, and he murmured:

"I mean, this is also..."

-

"Bah, pah!"

After spitting out all the black mud from her mouth, rinsing her mouth repeatedly with mineral water, and cleaning all the black mud off her body, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally felt a little better.

Although the black mud itself didn't have any special smell, and she didn't mean to dislike Tiamat, she still felt somewhat disgusted when she saw those Rahms emerging from the black mud.

In addition-

"King of the Cave! King of the Cave!..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka called out to the Count of Monte Cristo somewhat angrily, but this time, there was no response no matter how she called.

Although she hasn't yet figured out many things about the current situation, such as why her powers suddenly stopped working, why she seemed completely unharmed after falling into the black mud, and what the [Trial] was, etc...

But judging from what the Cave King said, the other party definitely knows something.

The other party's feigned silence only confirmed her suspicions.

"Whether it's a trial or anything, it's always this kind of inexplicable thing, and they even play riddles, really...!"

For a moment just now, she really thought she was going to die. Although she hasn't died yet, it still made her a little angry.

"I said, can't we just talk things out properly?!"

"..."

However, her complaints were met with silence.

On the contrary, the surrounding Rahms immediately noticed her presence and rushed towards her.

"I'm not in the mood to play with you guys right now..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression was displeased. She drew the divine sword, Kusanagi no Taika, from her "Treasure of the Subject" and rose slightly into the air, then slashed at the swarming Rahm horde with all her might.

"—!"

A dazzling yet terrifying sword aura roared out, splitting into eight. The eight enormous sword auras instantly tore through the sky, the earth, and the sea, leaving eight huge and deep marks!

Within this range, thousands of Rahms were instantly reduced to dust.

"call--"

After unleashing a furious sword strike, Fujimaru Ritsuka's anger subsided somewhat, at least realizing that calling himself the Count of Monte Cristo was probably pointless now.

Rather, perhaps the best he could do was to offer her one last reminder.

Let's go back first and talk about it later.

Thinking of this, she put the divine sword away again. Seeing that the Chaldea group had not yet left, she flew back towards them.

"that……"

Seeing the Chaldea group assuming fighting stances and watching her warily, Fujimaru Ritsuka understood, but—

She scratched her cheek and smiled helplessly:

"If I said I'm perfectly fine, would you believe me?"

The other party shook their head in tacit agreement.

"..."

Well, even she doesn't believe it.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 489 Leaving?

Ultimately, under the care of Quetzalcoatl, Fujimaru Ritsuka returned to Uruk with the Chaldea group.

"The data does not show any signs of a reversal, but..."

Looking at the various data on the panel, Leonardo da Vinci fell into deep thought.

Based on current observations, the other party has not shown any problems, but after falling into the mud and taking a bath, it came out unharmed...

They were still somewhat uneasy.

At this moment, an arc-shaped iron wall composed of countless huge pale fangs has risen to the south of Uruk. This is one of Gilgamesh's secret trump cards, the [Fang of Napishtim], used to resist the erosion of the black mud.

Not only that, he also set up 360 magic cannons on the walls of Uruk, all powered by magic, to fight alongside the soldiers in the city against the invading Rahm tribe.

Now that things have come to this, the Chaldea group understands that Gilgamesh, Merlin, and Quetzalcoatl all knew about Tiamat's existence long ago and had each taken their own measures accordingly.

The group returned to Uruk, and it was already late at night.

Fortunately, the Rahms seemed unable to fight without sleep either, and after nightfall they receded like the tide, and Uruk returned to tranquility for the time being, just like before.

The rows of broken houses that couldn't be cleaned up in time, and the bloodstains on the ground, serve as a stark reminder of the bloody reality we face today.

I wonder how many people are left in Uruk today.

"King Gilgamesh!"

Gudao and the others first arrived at the Divine Tower to meet Gilgamesh. Upon seeing everyone's return, Gilgamesh smiled and said:

"You are back."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Siduri nodded in acknowledgment, and then Gilgamesh smiled and said:

"This operation was done very well. There's nothing more to say now. We just need to carry out the plan step by step."

"If there are no problems, you can go back and rest now. So you can fight even better tomorrow."

"Yes."

Gudao nodded in agreement. At that moment, Gilgamesh looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka beside him and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, saying:

"Speaking of which, are you really alright?"

"Probably not. Probably not."

Fujimaru Ritsuka spread her hands innocently, indicating that she wasn't sure either.

"perhaps……"

Upon hearing this, Gilgamesh's eyes twitched slightly, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, this was something he had never seen or heard of before.

But recalling the other party's past performance, he inexplicably felt that if it was Fujimaru Ritsuka, there really wouldn't be any problem.

After a brief meeting and exchange, the group bid farewell to King Gilgamesh and returned to the Chaldea embassy to rest.

So much happened today that everyone's nerves were on edge the whole time. Only when we returned to the Chaldea Embassy did we relax a little, followed by a great sense of exhaustion.

"Good night, senior."

"OK, good night."

After saying goodnight to Mash, Gudao dragged his tired body back to his room to rest. But this time, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Fujimaru Ritsuka waving at him with a smile not far away.

"Gudako-san...?"

Gudao was a little confused, but he still followed Fujimaru Ritsuka and came outside with her.

Quetzal Koyatl stood on the roof, silently watching the two without saying a word. Her current task was to keep an eye on Fujimaru Ritsuka and prevent any unexpected situations from happening to her.

Although she felt that given the current situation, it seemed unnecessary to continue.

Downstairs, after coming outside, Gudako asked:

"Miss Gudako, is there something you need?"

"Well..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly, hesitated for a moment, and finally smiled and said:

"I'm sorry, I may have to leave now."

"Eh, leave...?"

Gudao was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously assuming that the other person was planning to do something alone again.

But looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression, he belatedly realized what she meant by leaving.

"why?"

Just as he finished speaking, Gudao seemed to remember something and quickly asked:

"Is it because of the black mud? But so far, there haven't been any problems, have there?"

"Well, that's definitely part of the reason,"

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded first, then smiled and said:

"But more than that, it's probably because this is all I can do to help."

Her original task was simply to teach Gudao the Shadow Summoning Technique; once he mastered it, her task was essentially complete.

All other actions were her own initiative.
