Earth Princess? No, it's Fujimaru Ritsuka!

Fujimaru Ritsuka felt as if endless light was flashing.

The fully unleashed Holy Lance was bursting forth and raging at this moment. She used the power of light to fight against the Holy Lance, her hands desperately holding back the spiraling Holy Lance's radiance.

Saw this scene.

Mashu could no longer tolerate it.

"Dad, Senior... Senior has transformed into a form of light! Senior has transformed into a form of light! What do we do, what do we do!"

Mashu had seen Fujimaru Ritsuka in that form with her own eyes.

Therefore, she was extremely worried at the moment!

How can I protect my seniors...?

How exactly can one achieve this? —W伊VII陆艺散陾二侕—

"I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do, Mash."

Lancelot's face was grave, his purple gauntlets clenched so tightly they cracked: "That king is too perfect, so he will absolutely not show any mercy."

“Every Holy Judgment is a full-force strike that completely liberates Rungominiad.”

Lancelot looked at Mash.

Feeling conflicted.

In fact, there are other methods for using the Holy Lance at present.

For example, the shield that Mash is holding now represents the Knights of the Round Table.

This shield has the characteristic that as long as the holder has an unwavering will, it will never be broken. Therefore, it can naturally block Rungomminiad's attacks.

But this would put Mash under unimaginable pressure.

He respected the Master who had taken on the pressure, but...

"Damn it, I'm so selfish."

Lancelot lowered his head.

"Sir Lancelot."

Judging from Lancelot's expression, Bedivere probably guessed what was going on.

This is human nature.

As a father, Lancelot naturally didn't want to see Mash do anything dangerous, so he didn't tell Mash the truth.

“I understand your thoughts, but if she finds out later, and if you don’t tell her here, she might hate you for the rest of her life.”

“I know this is a painful choice, but Knight Mash is definitely not the weak knight you imagine. The truly weak one is the foolish knight who committed such disloyal acts.”

Bedivere's words startled Lancelot.

Then, Lancelot looked at Mash's unwavering gaze.

"Ah, you're right. I was being narrow-minded."

"What are you guys talking about?" Mashu asked impatiently, standing on tiptoe. "Is this the time to argue about these things?! Explain yourself clearly!"

“Alright. Then I’ll tell you, Mash… the true power and true name of that shield.”

After a brief internal struggle, Lancelot made his decision.

"That shield is the symbol of our Round Table, and also Galahad's shield. Its true power, however, is intimately connected to both strength and spirit."

—The enormous city of Camelot was revealed.

As long as the heart does not yield, the city walls will never collapse!

A fiery red magical power surged from Fujimaru Ritsuka's body, and for a moment it was as if flames were burning, even the surrounding space and time were momentarily distorted.

[Have you controlled the light-body transformation...?]

[So, if a human were to wield the power of the True Ancestor, it might even be more possible than if the True Ancestor were themselves?]

That's how the princess judged it.

Whether this image-based storage method will be successfully implemented remains to be seen.

Soon, though.

The princess noticed something strange.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was not burned or destroyed by the Holy Lance.

Instead, quite strangely, the spear of light falling from the clouds poured into Fujimaru Ritsuka's body like a vortex!

[—Saint Q's brilliance, seemingly transformed into a radiant form, has been revealed through his meticulous analysis of the game's mechanics, including the revelation of the "dead chess piece" and the "last gun" strategy.]

[Ritsuka, could it be...?]

Is it absorbing the power of the Holy Lance Rungomminiad?!

[Because the energy of the Light Body and the Star Anchor originates from the same source, and both my power and Rungominiad's power come from the planet, Ritsuka can also absorb Rungominiad's power.]

This is theoretically true.

It's like two flames colliding; what will replace them is an even hotter flame.

Fujimaru Ritsuka could hardly match the Holy Lance when it was fully unleashed; the opponent was already a god-level fighter at full power, almost invincible on this land.

However, this was accompanied by Fujimaru Ritsuka absorbing the power of the Star Anchor.

She will gradually surpass the goddess [Rungomminiad] in terms of effort.

However, there is still a decisive gap here.

That's Fujimaru Ritsuka's spiritual power...

Faced with such a massive and uncontrollable energy, can Fujimaru Ritsuka control it with her already weak mental strength?

She cleverly coated the outer edge of the light body with a very rough layer of a thin film made of physical **item storage frame.

The red light faded from its intense heat, turning silvery-white, and the energy body that gradually expanded outward resembled a burning flame!

But the price is...

The scorching light, like a cascading waterfall, relentlessly bombarded Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Every inch of skin emitted a mournful cry of cracking.

She even felt her consciousness being thrown into the scorching Star Furnace, her entire body of light constantly melting and deforming!

The silver energy continued to expand within Fujimaru Ritsuka's red aura.

When Fujimaru Ritsuka's light body expanded to nearly 100 meters.

"It's so hot... I feel... a little dizzy..."

However, based on the current total energy amount, she has at most stored around 50 energy units.

It's not that the light body can't hold up.

Rather, it was Fujimaru Ritsuka's spirit that was unable to support a more powerful energy body.

[We can't absorb any more attacks from the Holy Lance, Ritsuka.]

If this continues, your consciousness may be assimilated by the light of God, which is an outcome you don't want, is it?

Leave this to me.

"No."

The princess's voice came to my ears.

Replacing the player would indeed make things much easier for Fujimaru Ritsuka.

But she would feel very uncomfortable if she did that.

Fujimaru Ritsuka refused almost without thinking.

"Does the Lion King's behavior conflict with your opinion?"

"As a human, I cannot accept her behavior, not as a star spirit."

But she's hurting you, so of course it's okay for me to be her enemy!

"That's not the problem!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka has a somewhat stubborn personality.

If we were to give this spot to the princess, she might be able to defeat the Holy Lance, but I have a feeling... we would lose something very important!

Why?! I wanted to help you with your problem, but don't try to be strong at times like this!

"It's not about being stubborn, is it? The person you want to help is me, not the whole person."

"Therefore, some things are meaningless if I don't do them!"

"Human reason must be saved."

"but..."

"It is up to me to save them!"

"I have dedicated my entire life to this, striving and working hard until now!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly opened her eyes.

Crimson star breath surged frantically from his body.

It burned intensely to its limit, even beginning to devour, melt, and absorb the light of the Holy Lance.

"I may not be afraid of death, I may not be worried about failure... I just want to say something really outrageous—"

"I've already started to see myself as a savior!"

【Eh? ! 】

The princess paused for half a second.

She pondered...

The tone was a little helpless.

[Ritsuka, you... honestly, sometimes you even scare me a little.]

"I don't care about any of that! I don't agree with a single syllable of what the Lion King said. Humanity has survived for so long and will not become extinct so easily!"

"so,"

"so!"

"How could it end like this!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's spirit uttered a resentful cry from the center of the light body.

"Inflation, full activation of the Texture domain!"

"Breath of the Stars, give me even more power!"

"Drink ah ah ah ah ah!"

Above the sky, perhaps sensing the intense heat rising in Fujimaru Ritsuka's soul, a spiral of light crashed down like a drill that was about to shatter the divine judgment and pierce the earth.

But, soon.

That sacred and irresistible power was propelled by Fujimaru Ritsuka.

— Pushing backward slowly!

Sometimes I wonder, are humans really more rational than the true ancestors or fairies?

Perhaps that's how it appears on the surface. (The rest of the text appears to be gibberish and unrelated to the preceding sentences.)

In reality, humans are only capable of controlling themselves.

But it is precisely because humans can control themselves that they can act even more madly in certain aspects!

And Fujimaru Ritsuka is such a person.

Perhaps this madness came much earlier than expected.

Princess originally thought that Fujimaru Ritsuka became like this because of the blood of the True Ancestor, but now it seems that this is not the case.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was always like that.
