I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

Chi-

The instant their fists made contact, Kurokawa Kazumi felt a sudden, overwhelming sensation emanating from her hand. Her entire right arm, along with her body, arched backward, and she stumbled back several meters before coming to a stop, leaving a long trail on the ground.

Meanwhile, his right arm hung limply in front of him.

"Rose Lady—"

Chi-

The same injury appeared on Ryougi and Mi's arms, with a large amount of blood gushing out and the arms twisting abnormally.

but.

Ryougi Kazumi watched with an unchanged expression as the blood mist spreading in the air healed his arm. Looking at Kurokawa Kazumi, whose injuries were also beginning to heal, Ryougi Kazumi smiled and asked, "It seems that I am still stronger in terms of strength."

"How does the power of your Stand compare to the power of your original self?"

"More or less..." Kurokawa Kazumi said, her arm having almost fully recovered...

My own recovery speed is not as fast as that of Liangyi and Mi.

"Is that so? My Stand's power is always stronger than my own. And that force just now, I felt it, it was quite powerful. Although it was weaker than my current strength, it wasn't much weaker. If I didn't use my Stand, we could barely be considered evenly matched. So, was that your full strength just now?"

"..."

Ryougi Kazumi stroked her chin and said, "How interesting... Thinking about it, our current abilities are quite similar—powerful strength, speed, regenerative abilities, and so on... However, it seems that you are weaker than me in all these aspects, like I've been weakened in every way. So... what chance do you have of winning? By the way, you should be able to see a person's 'small source,' which is life force, right? Sister, let me ask you a question: right now, between my 'small source' and yours, whose is stronger?"

"...You are stronger, probably about three times stronger than me." Kurokawa Kazumi said truthfully, but...she had killed so many Demon God Pillars and absorbed so much life force, yet now she only had one-third of Ryougi Kazumi's...it was hard to believe if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.

“I see. But let me ask you a question. When this arm was recovering, which consumed more Small Source, me or you?”

"—" Kurokawa Kazumi gritted her teeth: "My...my consumption is about twice that of yours."

“I see. In other words, if I consume about one-sixth of my source energy, you will lose your fighting ability and won't even be able to move.” Ryougi Kazumi looked at Kurokawa Kazumi and said, “So, can you still say ‘I can win’ now?”

"Of course—I can win!"

Kurokawa Kazumi laughed.

"Is that so... I won't ask what your trump card is, because you probably won't tell me anyway." Ryougi Kazumi glanced slightly at the blood that had splattered out of her body earlier... some of those countless cells... had already touched Kurokawa Kazumi's body.

"Let me ask you one more question. If you answer 'come back with me' now, I can still back off."

"Impossible, I already said that!"

"...So, one last question...the very last one. Why are you on Goetia's side?"

"Haha... Well... Actually, at first I just wanted to give you a 'surprise' and then turn around and fight against Goetia with you..." Kurokawa Kazumi chuckled and said, "But, never mind, I've gradually realized that perhaps Goetia's idea is correct. This planet needs a reboot! So... even if Goetia doesn't want to continue, I will continue! That's all—"

Chapter 1160 On the Eve of Collapse

"Is that so... It seems you're not going to turn back..."

Ryougi Kazumi sighed softly and then smiled: "That's good—that way, I won't be fighting so slowly like this... Can you keep up—?"

Kurokawa Kazumi's pupils contracted as she felt a sharp pain in her right cheek—

Before they could even react, they were already sent flying.

bang bang bang-

boom----!

"It hurts so much—!"

Just as Kurokawa Kazumi was about to say something, after tumbling across the ground and flying over a hundred meters, turning a surrounding forest into a clearing, a ringing sound came from her ears.

what happened--?

This is...

He was banished underground!?

Saint...

The Holy Grail —

I can't hold back anymore. I have to use the power of the Holy Grail immediately, otherwise I'll exhaust all my life force in the continuous attacks before I can even use my own power.

"Rose Lady—!"

Chi-

The same injuries appeared on Ryougi and Mi.

His head looked as if it had been flattened by something, becoming as thin as a sheet of paper.

but--

Despite his head being practically shattered, he didn't stop. His fist lashed out, tearing Kurokawa Kazumi's body apart and shattering the earth—

brush--

A towering demon pillar, tens of meters high, appeared between Ryougi Kazuya and Kurokawa Kazumi. However, without pausing, Ryougi Kazuya stepped into the air and rushed through the path formed by the spirit particles, directly piercing through the demon pillar and creating a typhoon-like shockwave in the air.

boom----!

boom!!!

The earth was torn apart.

Under the moonlight, the entire forest, along with the surrounding hills, was propelled into the sky by the impact. The violent tremors spread throughout the entire singularity, creating a massive earthquake!

"Ha...hahaha————" Kurokawa Kazumi kept panting heavily, watching the demon pillars that were born from the Holy Grail and stood in front of her, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, and the huge hole that had pierced through her chest was slowly healing.

It's no use...

The speed is too fast. The force of the attack is too strong... At this rate... the recovery speed can't keep up with the rate of injury.

but?

It stopped? What happened?

Even if a demon pillar were to stand in front of me, I would probably still be pierced through just like that instant, right?

Hmm? This is—

At the same time, black light appeared in the sky.

That is--

"Black Cero——————"

boom------!

.......

"The entire army must retreat—"

Looking at the waves that have already reached this area.

King El-Melloi II immediately issued such an order... The battle taking place at the front was no longer something they could participate in...

No, you can't say that. To be more precise, just standing here is already quite a struggle.

"What is this?!" Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had already retreated, shielded herself with her hand, feeling the hurricane that seemed capable of blowing her away, and said in disbelief.

"Be careful—" Dr. Roman's voice came through: "An earthquake has just been detected, a massive earthquake. The magnitude is estimated to be eight in our area... and the affected area is... the entire singularity—!"

"Hey, hey, this is getting bad..." Da Vinci exclaimed, his eyes wide. "This power... is that guy trying to destroy this singularity? Not through natural regeneration, but through violent destruction like this..."

"Ah... without a doubt, Rome's history will disappear from the world. That guy is the one who wants to destroy humanity, isn't he!?"

"No, wait, the tremors have stopped—" Dr. Roman said, looking at the source of the tremor, "Now the conflict of magic is starting to appear in the air... Is that... is he preparing to fight in the air?"

"Ah... that's better, although... it seems this singularity is about to face a rather chaotic typhoon..."

A man-made whirlwind, devoid of any rhythm, whipped up by fists—

"When did Mr. Ryougi become so strong? This is not human... no, it's not even the power of a Servant, is it?"

That is the Beast that destroys the world, a monster equivalent to... or even above Goetia!

Although there wasn't much life left in this singularity to begin with.

The only place still inhabited by living people is the capital city of Rome.

Although the area was vast, by the time it reached them, the situation should have been manageable... Even so, in such a battle and amidst such scenery, all they could do was tremble.

.......

不 ...

Something's not right.

Life force is being constantly depleted.

why?

He had already returned all the injuries to himself. Wouldn't he lose consciousness and pause for a moment after suffering such injuries?

What exactly happened?

boom--

boom----!

As the body was separated from the ground, the soft earth trembled once more.

However, after being thrown into the air and attacked for so long, Kurokawa Kazumi felt a sense of relief, finally... touching the ground.

"How much of your life force have you consumed? According to what you said before, it should be more than half by now." Ryougi Kazumi said as she landed, her injuries completely healed in just a few seconds. "But this feeling is really interesting. Fighting while getting injured is like fighting yourself. Hmm... not bad..."

Ryougi Kazumi looked at the situation of this singularity and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "I'm really surprised. This is the first time I've fought with all my might since I obtained this power. I've never seen what kind of effect it will produce before. As for the result... it's not bad. However, this singularity may not be able to hold out for long if I continue fighting like this."

Kurokawa Kazumi was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening.

Ryougi and Miya stopped now because if the battle continued, this singularity would disappear and collapse.

Perhaps by then, the singularity of human reason will be irreparable.

Is that why it stopped?

"call..."
