The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

975. Demon God Souji's Lover's Blessing/Rahmu's Killing Desire (4k)

This is not an easy journey.

Ian, carrying Abigail on his back, felt that the deeper he went, the more he could feel an invisible pressure.

seem……

No.

It should not be said to be a seeming, but a fact that can be confirmed 100%.

There must be something waiting for me in the depths of this underworld.

"Big Brother and Big Sister..."

"Don't go in there..."

Even though she was in a very weak state, Abigail was still trying hard to persuade Ian to move forward.

It was obvious that she really didn't want Ian and Okita Souji to continue walking inside.

only--

That kind of thing is no longer possible for Ian now.

"Abigail, get some rest."

"We'll be fine."

"..."

Abigail looked up at the man carrying her on his back, and her lips moved slightly.

She might have wanted to say something, but everything fell silent.

"She's not a bad kid after all..."

Souji Okita looked at Abigail lying on Ian's back and said with some emotion.

"only--"

“It was done a little bit the wrong way.”

"That's true," Ian replied to Okita Souji. "Abigail is kind-hearted at heart, but sometimes she expresses it in the wrong way."

"Let's...do our best to correct this mistake."

Just as the man finished speaking, he received a message from Chaldea.

BB sent another communication.

"Pig——"

"There's a new discovery."

"Hurry up and tell me!" Ian replied impatiently. For him, the most lacking and most important thing now was information.

Every new discovery could make things completely different.

The Super AI Girl seemed to fully understand this, so she quickly spoke:

"Pig, the energy source beneath Uruk has now been discovered."

"That is indeed the Holy Grail."

"The Holy Grail…?"

"Correct."

BB nodded.

"To be precise, it's the Holy Grail that's been 'digested'—that might be hard for you to understand, but to put it simply, it's like someone is absorbing the magical power from the Holy Grail."

"This……"

Although he had already prepared himself mentally for various outcomes, Ian still felt a little surprised when he heard this.

"BB, how do you know this?"

"BB is not stupid."

Chaldea's true logistics director stood with his hands on his back, looking very imposing.

"If you want an analogy, Chaldea itself has the Holy Grail, doesn't it? BB just needs to use that to analyze it, and the results will naturally come."

"certainly……"

"If you're honest, BB was just betting that the Holy Grail would be the answer to the question, and this time the bet was right."

"..."

Ian couldn't help but smile a little.

"BB, when did you become like this?"

"It's you!" BB kicked the ball back very naturally.

"BB learned it from you!"

"But then again—"

"Where are you now, and why is your connection to Chaldea so tenuous?"

"..."

Ian looked at the surroundings, which were beginning to look a little scary, and after thinking for a moment, he decided not to tell BB.

"It's complicated to explain...it's just in a place that's not quite right."

"Now, we have to go deeper."

"..."

BB's throat moved slightly.

It was obvious that she did want to say something more, but in the end she decided to keep her mouth shut.

"BB understands."

"BB will monitor your signal, so go ahead and do it."

"Um,"

After obtaining some brief information from BB, Ian looked at the road ahead and felt his breathing become heavier.

After all, it was not good news, but proof that there was some unknown existence on the road ahead.

Moreover, this existence is still absorbing the power of the Holy Grail.

No matter how you think about it... this is not a good thing.

"Okita."

Ian started talking.

"Why don't you wait here for me? I think it would be a bit inappropriate to let you go in any further."

"Eh?"

Souji Okita bit his lips, and the hand that was holding Kaga Kiyomitsu became a little tighter.

"Sui San."

"Did you make a mistake?"

"What's wrong?"

The man turned around to look at Okita Souji, and what he saw was a face that was so resolute that it was completely inconsistent with the girl's age.

"I'm not here to escape, nor am I here to be protected by you."

"I showed up here because I wanted to see you."

As Okita Souji said this, he slightly pushed Kaga Kiyomitsu out of his scabbard.

"so--"

"No matter what, even if I have to die in battle, I will never retreat and I will never hesitate."

"Why would you want me to back down?"

"Okita..."

Although he could sense the unconcealable fragility of the kendo girl, Ian could feel more clearly her inner desire to fight hard.

"I understand."

"I was wrong—let me take that back."

"No!"

"I won't let you take it back!"

Souji Okita held Ian's hand, as if he was holding some bond.

"That's a sign that Saizo cares about me."

"Even if..."

The girl's cheeks flushed.

“I will never forget it until the end of my life!”

"..."

The atmosphere became quite touching at that moment.

But that was only for a moment.

Because the next moment, the wailing that seemed to have stopped temporarily came again from the depths of the underworld, as if it was long and far-reaching.

And this time.

The sound echoing in the underworld was not just wailing, but the sound of something moving madly forward.

pat.

pat.

pat.

They made strange and terrifying noises, and were obviously approaching Ian and Okita Souji.

"..."

"..."

The situation became extremely dangerous in an instant.

"Abigail, hold me."

Ian said this, and then projected the Primordial Fire (Aestus estus) again.

This weapon, forged from meteorites, seems to be unexpectedly effective in this underworld environment.

Boom.

Flames burned on the sword of the Primordial Fire (Aestus estus), illuminating the dim surrounding environment.

Seeing Ian like this, Okita Souji also forced himself to cheer up, held Kaga Kiyomitsu with both hands, and took a fighting stance.

only--

It’s okay that the light hasn’t shone yet.

Once it spreads across the earth, all ugliness will be exposed.

The moment the light spread along the road, the originators of those strange noises revealed their true identities.

but……

That's not a very acceptable look.

They have a human-like main body, but their faces have become covered with teeth.

This results in their faces looking like a vertically growing mouth.
