The Undying Death Knight failed to achieve the ending of the Heroic Spirit

"I heard your cry for help, I heard your prayers, let me stop you, stop your goblin body from running away."

"Then I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. What you see now is the real me."

Caster's dry rebuttal was immediately denied by Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Minanako is not a witch, nor a hateful fairy. She is my companion. A powerful companion who released the [Trump Card] against the goblins to protect me, a reliable companion who stood up even when injured to save me from the humiliation of the bandits. She is my first companion in this strange world. So——"

The smile on Fujimaru Ritsuka's face turned sad: "Now it's my turn to help you, not as a savior, not as a master, but as your companion who has walked with you all the way and received a lot of help and protection. I will pull you out of the sea of ​​suffering - even if the price is to defeat you and destroy you!"

Smelling the fragrance wafting from Fujimaru Ritsuka and feeling the girl's body temperature that seemed to be able to burn ice, Caster pursed his lips.

"You cherish me so much, why don't you cherish yourself?"

She murmured softly, and suddenly she felt something warm liquid running down her right cheek.

Caster put one hand on his cheek, and his fingertips touched the wetness. Tears filled up in his blue eye and flowed down his cheek uncontrollably.

She hurriedly reached out to wipe it, but it couldn't be wiped clean.

She could obviously endure it when it hurt, and when she was tired, but now, when she was wronged, she would not listen no matter what, and could not endure it.

"hehe."

The golden eye showed a disdain that was completely different from the right eye. She put on a malicious smile, which was inconsistent with the obvious tear marks on her right cheek: "As expected of a Master who has conquered six singularities, your words can't even resist my fairy half body, but you can't deceive me."

"Don't get close to me. I have a strong desire for control and possession, and I am suspicious and insecure. I am a dead soul drowning in the water of suffering. I don't expect to escape the darkness of suffering. I will only pretend to be a drowning victim, waiting to drag those who are kind to me into this dead water. So next time, don't save the goblin."

Ritsuka Fujimaru looked at Caster. She caught an unprecedented wavering expression on that forced face. Ritsuka Fujimaru opened her mouth but no sound came out. In the end, her thousands of words turned into a helpless smile.

Being stared at by Fujimaru Ritsuka, Caster's forced smile became more and more stiff.

"It seems that I failed to save the fairy." Suddenly, Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke.

The mist began to thicken, and Fujimaru Ritsuka's body also became blurry. Caster's body moved, but he held it back.

She knew the final moment had come. She wanted to respond with a proud fairy, but Fujimaru Ritsuka's voice made her feel uneasy and hesitant.

But before Caster could be disappointed, her smile had just turned sarcastic when she heard Fujimaru Ritsuka continue: "Then I will try my best to turn you back into a human again, from a fairy to a human named Minanako again."

Fujimaru Ritsuka's voice even sounded a little compassionate as he stared at the burning white light on Caster's body. Caster fell under the white light, his body began to disintegrate, and was crushed into the most basic magic power bit by bit.

At some point the dry weather blew up, and the wind, wrapped in magic, melted into the white mist until Caster completely disappeared, until the white mist completely disappeared.

After witnessing all this, Fujimaru Ritsuka was unable to recover for a long time until she heard Mashu's suicide call.

"Senior, senior!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked around, it was still the unknown small village where Caster and the others had temporarily settled when they fled. The conversation just now seemed like a dream.

Thinking of Caster, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help feeling lost. She asked the Shield Girl beside her:

"Mashu, is the battle over?"

"Yes, the hostile spirit-based reaction has been confirmed to be eliminated."

Mashu's reply was quick.

Hostile?

Fujimaru Ritsuka pursed her lips and focused on the only remaining Command Seal on her hand.

After losing Caster, Fujimaru Ritsuka was rarely shaken about her future. She didn't even know where she was.

Mashu's abnormality naturally did not escape her attention. She thought that Fujimaru Ritsuka was frightened in the battle just now, and she became worried:

"Senior, are you okay?"

"Well, don't worry." Fujimaru Ritsuka forced herself to cheer up. She was concerned about Mashu's condition: "Mashu, are you okay?"

She remembered that Mashu had been seriously injured before the battle.

"Hmm - it seems that because this is Camelot, Mr. Galahad's enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high, and the reaction transmitted from his spiritual base is unprecedentedly strong." Mash said in a lower voice: "Perhaps, it is also due to Mr. Lancelot."

Having said that, the two of them tacitly agreed not to continue the topic, and silence quietly enveloped their hearts like a dark curtain.

Morale is at an all-time low.

"Come to think of it." Knowing that the atmosphere couldn't be kept tense any longer, Fujimaru Ritsuka brought up another not-so-relaxing topic: "Now there is a new question - Mashu, do you know the way?"

"Huh?" Mashu was a little surprised, and then she opened her mouth as if she realized something, but couldn't say anything for a long time.

Caster never told them where the final parade destination was.

They had lost their guide.

……

"Hateful fairy, pathetic drowned person, you are not destined to drown in the river of love that is cursed by yourself. As a mortal, you are qualified to enjoy the love of others. Pure and flawless love is the ark for you to return to the mortal world once again."

"Now you have found the star that lights your way back home."

The reason why Caster wants to kill Gudako will be explained later. Don't believe her own explanation.

Chapter 245: The End of the Loser

2023-07-29

White light suddenly appeared.

Thunder roared across the sky, as if it was the forerunner of wind and rain. In just a moment, drizzles of rain poured down from the sky.

The thunderstorm tore the white sky apart, and the sky was rendered dark by this unprecedented rainstorm. The strong wind howled into the house through the gaps in the old wooden door, making the dilapidated wooden house creak, making people worry that it would fall apart in the next moment.

"It looks like we can't leave today." Mashu withdrew her gaze from the outside and her tone became worried: "It has been raining for two days."

Because they lost their guide, they asked local villagers along the way and finally found the city that was suspected to be the last parade destination.

The Outer City is the legendary place where King Arthur ascended the throne. It is not surprising that this place, which is backed by the holy city of Camelot, would be accommodated as a parade site.

Because they were asking for directions, they made quite a bit of noise along the way, but Minanako, the owner of the dream, never appeared once, as if she had made up her mind to have a decisive battle in the final place.

Three of the four Knights of the Round Table were lost, leaving only Tristan, and Minanako seemed to have lost her composure as a hunter.

The opponent's Fang Fu had no chance of recovery and chose to go all out in the final decisive battle. After all, in the eyes of the latter, he had two servants, [Galahad] and [Saltihue].

——Tuk-tuk

There was a knock on the door, but it was quickly drowned out by the sound of the wind.

The two people in the room immediately became alert, and Fujimaru Ritsuka exchanged glances with Mashu.

——Tuk-tuk

There was another knock on the door, and Mashu walked forward slowly, trying to spy on who was outside through the gap in the door.

"Dear Knight, please open the door." A clear female voice came from outside the house, which sounded particularly pleasant in the sound of the drizzling rain: "The food has been delivered."

Fujimaru Ritsuka recognized the identity of the owner of the voice. It was the second daughter of the village chief—a cute silver-haired girl. Although she was not enthusiastic, she was very friendly to them, at least when facing the identities of "knights and knight servants" they disguised as.

With the eyesight of a Servant, Mashu quickly confirmed the authenticity of the person outside the house. She nodded to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Yes, given the weather today, I don't think we can leave the food at the door for you to pick up."

Fujimaru Ritsuka also nodded to Mashu, and Mashu took a few steps forward and opened the not-so-strong wooden door. The silver-haired girl outside the house, most of her body wet from the rain, was holding a container in her hand with her head lowered. She raised her head when she heard the whimpering of the wooden door.

"Ok?"

Mashu was stunned when she saw the other person's eyes clearly. In her memory, the eyes of the village chief's second daughter should be pure blue, but now, the other person's eyes hidden under her hair are blue and gold, just like...

The container was suddenly overturned, and the spilled water splashed onto Mashu's face. The silver-haired girl grabbed the dagger with one hand and stabbed it towards Mashu's waist and abdomen.

But Mashu's reaction was faster. At the same time she noticed the abnormality, she grabbed the void and a shield appeared out of thin air to block herself. The weapons collided but there was no stalemate. The next moment, the silver-haired girl was knocked away by the back of the shield and fell heavily to the ground.

Mashu was still a little dazed when she saw the girl suddenly flying backwards. How could she fly without even exerting any strength? This feeling was just like an ordinary girl,

The girl who was thrown out twisted her hands and feet to support her body and stood up again. Her head was tilted to one side because of the heavy blow just now. The blood on her face did not affect her movements at all. She looked like a common zombie in horror movies.

"puppet……"

Bang bang——!

A rough crashing sound came from behind him.

Mashu seemed to realize something suddenly. She turned her head and saw Fujimaru Ritsuka following her closely. However, Mashu's gaze went past Fujimaru Ritsuka and fell behind her. She pulled Fujimaru Ritsuka's arm and put up a shield in front of herself and Fujimaru Ritsuka. The next moment, cracks appeared on the wooden house, which was not strong but very flat. Along with the "crackling" sound of wood chips, wind and rain poured into the house.

Flying wood chips hit the shield surface in scattered places.

Clang——!

Mashu felt her arm go numb, and was pushed back by the force transmitted from the shield.

The invisible air blade hid in the flying wood chips and the wind and rain, and finally bloomed on Mashu's shield.

What appeared behind him were not only the controlled civilians as imagined, but also a team of upright knights in fine armor. The total team of thirty people was centered on the red-haired man in the middle, and the bow and harp held in the arms of the red-haired knight had just torn open the house, and fifty or sixty villagers from the village swayed their bodies to block Mashu and the knight.

"Tristan, a Knight of the Round Table."

“I’ve finally waited for you.” Tristan opened his eyes, but what appeared inside were not eyeballs but empty eye sockets. “Otherwise I wouldn’t want to control this missing body.”

From the tone of the voice, Fujimaru Ritsuka understood that the person currently using this body was Minanako, who should be in hibernation.

As for Tristan's body, Fujimaru Ritsuka heard from Lanmarok that Tristan chose to destroy himself in his final struggle, which not only caused him to lose his eyes but also affected his movements. She looked at "Tristan" who was twisting his head uneasily at this time, and understood in her heart - perhaps it was because he had only this puppet on hand that he had to use it.

She remembered what Caster said, that each round table puppet could not leave its own fiefdom too far, perhaps because if it went too far it would lose control and turn into a corpse again.

The complicated thoughts in his mind were suppressed, and "Tristan" waved his hand, and the thirty knights scattered, forming a fan shape to surround Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu in the center. It was not until this time that Fujimaru Ritsuka realized that these thirty knights, without exception, all held longbows.

"I'll make it clear in advance that these are all living humans. I put a lot of effort into hypnotizing them without harming their minds. I even built two soundproof barriers alone."

"Tristan" raised the corners of his mouth in a malicious smile, and his fingers pressed lightly on the strings.

"But the good thing is that they can serve as meat cushions before they die completely."

Minanako knew very well that Tristan, who destroyed his eyes and left leg, was no match for Galahad, but so what. In the dream world, she was in control of all battles.

The heavy rain that lasted for two days and even the warm hospitality of the villagers were all for this moment, making Fujimaru Ritsuka unable to make a decision.

She wanted to see Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression, but Tristan had no eyes and could only pluck the strings.

The effect of the air blade hitting the shield is better than nothing, but in the long run, Mashu will definitely be the first one to collapse.

'What will you do?'

The clanging sounds continued, not only from Tristan's magical blades, but also from the arrows of other knights. These attacks were chaotic but orderly, shooting towards the girl hiding behind the shield and Mash.

Mashu was gradually exhausted from dealing with the gradually spreading attacks. From time to time, she waved her shield to try to break through, but was forced back by the surging crowd. Occasionally, she smashed the villagers' limbs with the back of her shield, but they crawled on the ground like zombies, crawling back in, as if, as "Tristan" said, they would never stop moving unless they died.

Finally, she heard Fujimaru Ritsuka's command from behind her, word by word, with gnashing teeth:

"Matthew."

I only heard Fujimaru Ritsuka continue: "Go all out!"

"But senior..."

Mashu wanted to argue, but she was distracted for a moment and blood appeared on her shoulder.

Fujimaru Ritsuka lowered her head, thinking back to the villagers' warm hospitality over the past two days. The expression on her face gradually changed from indifference to cruelty. When she raised her head, her eyes were already red, and her voice was so sharp that she even lost her voice:

“Mashu!” she shouted again. She clenched her fist, and the last remaining Command Seal began to glow. “Go all out! Smash that guy’s face with your shield!”

This piece of shit just wants to destroy Gudako's heart and prove that she is a flawed person (this is the fairy's concept, not my point of view, don't escalate it to the author)

Chapter 246: The Knight of Disaster

2023-07-29

There were dilapidated wooden houses, blood everywhere, and corpses lying everywhere. It was hard to imagine that this was a relatively stable village not long ago.

The showers of rain washed over Mashu's face, washing away the blood on her face, but not her panting. The red light of the Command Spell gradually faded from her body, and the fatigue brought by the long battle came at this time, causing Mashu's body to shake, but the girl immediately put up a shield to support her shaky body.

She looked at the spotless Tristan in front of her with her red eyes and couldn't help biting her lips.

'Now is not the time to fall.'

She thought about it and looked around. There were still two knights surrounding Tristan, and there were thirteen fearless puppets. If she fell, these people would rush forward and tear Fujimaru Ritsuka to pieces in an instant.

"What? Are you out of energy? You are determined to massacre the villagers who warmly entertained you in order to defeat me. I thought you had some hidden weapon."

Mashu no longer had the strength to refute. She pursed her lips and let her numb body stand in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka.

She underestimated Tristan's strength and the enemy's cunning. Without backup and trump cards, they are now trapped.
