Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

The moment he finished speaking, the energy that had been stagnant above his head began to flow again, and gradually radiated a dazzling light of death.

Then, Goetia began to chant softly:

"Then let me show you. The end of your journey. The end of human history. The moment my great work of reforging this star is completed!"

"Third Noble Phantasm, unfold—"

Seeing this, Mashu's expression immediately turned serious, and she said in a deep voice:

"Master, Mash is preparing to launch! Please give the order!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka gave the order without hesitation:

"Let him see our resolve, Mash!"

"Yes!"

"Bam—!"

Mashu forcefully slammed the massive round table-shaped shield into the ground, creating a small crater. Facing the terrifying energy gradually unleashed in Goetia's hand, her expression remained fearless, and she resolutely chanted aloud:

"That is our homeland, capable of healing all wounds and all resentment. Reveal it!—"

A colossal white wall rose from the ground, standing behind Mash and protecting everyone within it. It was the ultimate defensive artifact that would not collapse as long as the heart would not yield.

At this moment, the energy above Goetia's head transformed into a blazing sun, awaiting its final burst and brilliance. He coldly surveyed everything before him, like the Grim Reaper bringing an end, and proclaimed:

"The time of birth has come; let this correct all things (Ars Almadel Salomonis)!"

"【The now distant ideal city (Lord Camelot)】!"

The light of destruction descended instantly, engulfing Mash's figure along with the massive white chalk wall behind her!

The blinding, terrifying light made it impossible for anyone to see what was happening in front of them. The powerful shockwave from the collision of the treasures whipped up gusts of wind, making everyone's clothes flutter. They could only struggle to look up and resist.

Gradually, the light faded, and Gudao and the others looked nervously towards the center of the battle. The sacred white wall still stood firmly on the earth, indestructible, seemingly unharmed in the slightest.

Before the White Chalk Wall, Mash stood perfectly intact, without the slightest damage.

"Great!"

Gudao and his junior Mashu both breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Mashu looked at her reflection in another world, a hint of longing in her eyes:

"So strong..."

She might be able to block the attack, but she would probably have to risk her life to do so. That's why she said her final goodbye to Gudao at that time.

However, in the other world, she appeared so relaxed...

"Blocked it...?"

At the same time, seeing Mash's figure reappear unharmed in his sight, Goetia finally couldn't help but frown, feeling somewhat surprised.

Chaldea in another world seems somewhat different.

Furthermore, not only was the other party unharmed, but their aura also seemed to have become stronger?

No, this is...

Goetia's gaze passed over Mash and landed on Fujimaru Ritsuka behind her. For some reason, the latter had produced a staff and was rapidly casting various support spells while chanting incantations.

"Instant Enhancement, Emergency Evasion, Team Enhancement, Spirit Transfer, Osiris Dust, Mejed's Eye, Magic Release, Certainty of Victory, Knight's Oath, Reaction Enhancement, Iron Focus, Certainty, Trident of Desperate Strike..."

With each spell cast, Mash's aura would increase by one point. As Fujimaru Ritsuka continued to cast support spells, Mash's power expanded at a visible speed.

"Wow, that's amazing...!"

This was the first time the Chaldea group behind them had seen Fujimaru Ritsuka act like this. Gudao swallowed hard, his eyes filled with envy.

At that moment, he suddenly remembered the conversation he had with the other person at the Seventh Singularity, and immediately felt that it was a bit outrageous.

You call this being just as mediocre as me in terms of magic talent?!

However, no one expected that Fujimaru Ritsuka's magic was not actually based on her own magical skills, but rather on the Druid's Staff in her hand.

"Hmph, useless little tricks."

Goetia snorted coldly, seemingly disdainful of Fujimaru Ritsuka's methods, and strode towards the two of them.

Seeing this, Mashu on the opposite side also assumed a ready-to-go stance, crouching down slightly.

Then, stomp down hard—

"Oh!"

Mashu's footsteps left a shallow crater in the ground, and her figure vanished instantly.

"—!"

So fast!

Goetia's pupils contracted slightly, and in the next instant, Mash appeared in mid-air above his head, her shield held high, accompanied by a delicate shout, as she swung fiercely toward his face!

"drink!"

Goetia hastily threw a punch to meet the shield, and the moment his fist collided with the shield, a tremendous impact was generated.

"Bam—!"

After a brief stalemate, Goetia was finally unable to withstand the immense force emanating from the shield. He was slammed into the face by the shield and sent flying. His massive body crashed into the steps of the throne, creating a shallow crater and kicking up a cloud of dust.

"...Ensemble, Go for it, Never give up!"

On the other side, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally finished casting a long string of support magic. Seeing Mash gaining the upper hand in her first encounter with Goetia, she happily cheered her on:

"Well done! Super Mash form is the strongest!"

"Ah, yes!"

Mashu seemed a little shy about the nickname 'Super Mashu,' but she still blushed slightly and responded in response to Fujimaru Ritsuka's call:

"Super Mario Crack is on the move!"

"...I admit I may have underestimated your strength. But, is that all there is to it?"

Goetia's voice came again, and then his figure reappeared in everyone's sight. His expression was very indifferent. He had been caught off guard and suffered a heavy blow, but there were no obvious injuries on his body.

Indeed, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu's performance was beyond his expectations, but do they think they can defeat him with just that?

It's just a fool's errand.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was not surprised at all, after all, the opponent was the first Beast of the Perfect level, whose strength was no less than Tiamat's, and it was impossible for him to be defeated so easily.

but--

"That's it?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and said:

"Don't get me wrong, this is just the beginning."

Chapter 498 Fujimaru Ritsuka and Goetia's Union

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

Before Solomon's throne in the Grand Temple of Time, Mash and Goetia were engaged in a fierce hand-to-hand battle. Judging from the situation, Mash, who was empowered by numerous auxiliary magic spells, was actually suppressing Goetia and had a slight advantage.

"They actually managed to do that...?"

Roman stared blankly at Mash in the midst of the battle. No one knew better than him just how strong Goetia was.

The fact that Mash could fight the opponent to this extent was completely beyond his imagination.

but……

"Drink——!"

"Pfft!"

Seizing the opening, Mashu let out a sharp shout and swung her shield horizontally with great force. The shield blade, which wasn't particularly sharp, pierced directly into Goetia's chest with tremendous power, and the sound of it piercing flesh clearly reached everyone's ears.

Goetia spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, Mash lifted him and his shield above her head and flung him away, sending him crashing into the steps of the throne, creating a shallow crater.

"This attack...!"

The Chaldea group looked hopefully in the direction where Goetia had fallen. Mash breathed a slight sigh of relief, but remained vigilant.

At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly gave the order:

"Defend quickly!"

The moment she received the command, Mash instinctively raised her shield. The next instant, a beam of laser energy carrying a strong magical force slammed into Mash's shield!

Although she couldn't break through the defense, the powerful impact still pushed Mash dozens of meters away, bringing her back to Fujimaru Ritsuka's front.

When the pillar of light dissipated, Goetia's figure reappeared before everyone. The wound on his chest, inflicted by Mash, was healing at a visible speed, and in the blink of an eye, it was completely restored.

He said calmly:

"...Is that all?"

With the giant band of light behind him, he possessed almost limitless energy. Unless he could be killed instantly, any injury would be meaningless to him.

How long can Chaldea maintain its current pace?

"You're still pretending?"

Seeing his appearance, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but laugh:

"You didn't act so calmly during that sneak attack. Did you not expect to be beaten like this, and then you got angry and embarrassed?"

"Humph,"

Goetia snorted coldly:

"I'm just a little tired of it. Our grand plan for the next millennium is just around the corner, and I don't have time to waste with you."

"So... let's just hurry up and destroy Chaldea!"

The third Noble Phantasm activated once more, and a massive band of light in the sky slowly flowed, gathering energy once more above Goetia's head. However—

"Mash, go!"

"Yes!"
