Chapter 253 Motorcycle Group

2023-07-29

The neon lights shone on the rare quiet street, and the shadows of the motorcycles lying sideways in the shadows were stretched out very long.

The lightning speed made Fujimaru Ritsuka dare not loosen his hands around the waist of the servant in front of him.

Feeling the movement at her waist, Altria tilted her head slightly.

"Hold on tight, Master."

The gust of air blowing in her face made Fujimaru Ritsuka dare not open her mouth. She closed her eyes and nodded vigorously in response.

She was completely confused by the sudden change in the situation. Archer was no match for the wolf, and when he was about to lose, Archer chose to entrust her to Alter, who had just arrived at the battlefield, and he was responsible for leading the wolf king away.

The complicated and trivial thoughts in his mind made Fujimaru Ritsuka lose the ability to think for a while. It was not until the wind on both sides began to weaken and finally disappeared completely that Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized that the car had stopped.

"Well, now that we're at this place, we can run away even if we're caught."

She first heard Altria's cold voice, and then the motorcycle stopped steadily.

"Come down now, and head to my temporary base."

The black king gave his order in an unquestionable tone to Fujimaru Ritsuka who was still sitting stupidly in the car.

"yes……?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka responded weakly, but her weak voice only elicited a sneer from the other party.

"Are you worthy of being called the Master of Chaldea in your current state?" Altria's almond-shaped pupils carried an indescribable sense of oppression. With her gaze, the invisible pressure naturally spread over him. "I thought you were worthy of surviving in a city like this for a while, but the information provided by the Holy Grail made me preconceived."

Facing Altria who seemed like a king scolding her subjects, Fujimaru Ritsuka found it difficult to refute. She recalled her past experiences of being scolded by her teacher, lowered her head and shifted her gaze to the ground.

"Wang!"

The short barking of a dog stopped Alter from saying anything else.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was also attracted. She turned her head and looked in surprise towards the direction where the sound came from. Sure enough, she saw a small creature that looked like a fox and a dog under the dim light.

"It's a dog."

Ritsuka Fujimaru was immediately attracted by the furry little animal, and she reached out to touch its white fur.

"Well."

Seeing this, Altria Alter frowned in extreme displeasure.

"Don't touch it, it's a stray dog."

But Altria's words couldn't even fool Fujimaru Ritsuka - how could a stray dog's hair be so clean?

Ritsuka Fujimaru rubbed the other's head, turned his head and asked Altria behind him who seemed to want to move but was forcing herself to hold back.

"Wang!"

The white dog took a few steps closer to Altria.

"Kavas II, I don't have any food to feed you right now... Never mind." Alter stared at the creature that was still moving towards her. When the creature's head rubbed against her legs, she sighed helplessly. Alter turned her gaze to Fujimaru Ritsuka: "Master, do you have anything to feed the dog?"

——You said you didn’t raise it yet, but you even thought of a name for it…

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at her teasingly and felt her pocket: "There is chocolate..."

"Do you want to kill it?"

Altria refused sharply. She pursed her lips and finally made a decision: "I can't waste time here anymore. I should still have some in my residence."

——As expected, your mind is still as easy to guess as always...

Ritsuka Fujimaru couldn't help but recall what Avriel had taught him in Chaldea about how to get along with the Altria race.

"But if it's the second generation, then who is Kavas the first generation?" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the white-haired puppy rubbing against Altria's calf, his eyes fell on its pure white fur, and suddenly a new idea came to his mind:

"Isn't that another name for Menechel?"

Just as she was daydreaming, Fujimaru Ritsuka felt her collar tighten. She was startled, and then she felt her body lighten and when she came to her senses, she was pulled up.

Altria Alter grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka with one hand and her body also went into alert state.

"come out!"

Her voice was cold. But there was no one around.

"Come out! I know you've been following me."

Alter warned again, and even Kavas II at her feet became angry and barked a few times into the empty darkness.

Faint "thump thump" sounds were heard a few times in the darkness, and finally returned to darkness again.

The first thing Fujimaru Ritsuka saw was an old man in fancy clothes whose body was almost stained with blood.

"Archer!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka recognized the old man's identity - it was Shinjuku Archer who chose to lead the Wolf King away.

But at this moment, Archer closed his eyes and seemed to have fallen into a coma.

Altria glanced at Fujimaru Ritsuka and narrowed her eyes slightly. She clenched her hands in the air and a dark red knight sword appeared out of thin air.

The dark patterns on the sword emitted a chilling cold light under the dim light. She thought to herself that if the other party wanted to use this Archer to make excessive demands, she would kill the captive first to prevent the Master from being embarrassed.

"Don't be nervous. Although I really want to tear you to pieces right now, I have no choice but to sit down and negotiate with you."

The voice was full of teasing, and the faint "thump thump" sound of the motorcycle was heard again. Archer moved out little by little, revealing the motorcycle hidden in the deeper shadows, and the figure sitting on the motorcycle.

The man raised his head, grinning with a mouth full of sharp teeth and showing a cruel smile to the two people here: "Seeing you here really makes me wonder if the Holy Grail gave me the opportunity to tear you apart."

When he saw the other person's face clearly, Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes widened involuntarily, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Alter beside him.

The Black King narrowed her eyes slightly, but there was no expression on her face.

——It’s okay. There are so many people in Chaldea who look like Artoria. It’s not surprising to meet a Servant who looks exactly like Menechel in the singularity.

What's more, in Fujimaru Ritsuka's impression, the three Minae he had seen were not as good as the one in front of him...

To say that he was wild was not enough to describe him. With two dark red horns growing out of his white hair and black scales running down his cheeks to his neck, he looked more like an orc in a game than a human.

Especially the tail that swings like a steel whip behind the opponent.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's ankle was aching slightly.

——Could it be that he was the one who attacked me in the alley earlier?

But Altria spoke up and denied all of Ritsuka Fujimaru's luck.

"Menichel, you..."

Looking back at Menechel's cold smile, Altria's voice became weaker and weaker, and finally she pursed her lips and just raised the sword.

There's been a lot going on lately, so the update is a bit slow.

Chapter 254: Phantom Demon Alliance (optional)

2023-07-29

Shinjuku, inside the temporary underground base.

Kawas II nestled in the crack between the sofas in search of a tiny non-existent sense of security. The puppy's milky white tail was shaking nervously, and its eyes were fixed on the other tail swinging back and forth in front of it without a moment's relaxation!

Unlike the puppy's furry tail, the black tail was covered with barbs and scales, and there was even some lingering blood on the tip of the tail.

The owner of the tail, Menechel, was sitting on the sofa on one side. He was looking at Ritsuka Fujimaru and Alter Altria who were sitting on the sofa on the other side, with a wanton laugh on his face. This familiar expression had also been seen on Menechel and Saber. She finally confirmed that the person in front of her was Menechel.

However, the servant in front of her treated Artoria too unkindly, as if Boudica had met Nero, and there was targeted hostility everywhere.

"You have seen that guy, right? That wolf is just a phantom, but it has more power than an ordinary Servant."

"So you're here to seek cooperation?"

Alter raised her eyes, and the expression on her face turned cold again.

"Well, whether it's a head-on confrontation, a sneak attack from behind, or an ambush by setting a trap, it can't be accomplished by fighting alone. You can use me as a fighting force, or use me as bait that can only be used once. As long as you can kill that guy, it doesn't matter."

Ritsuka Fujimaru's joy was beyond words. She was about to open her mouth to agree when her hand was held back by Alter.

"The injury on the Master's ankle was caused by you, right?"

Altria Alter's straightforward words made the atmosphere in the room quiet for a moment. After about three or four seconds, Menechel's words were heard: "There is nothing to deny. It was indeed me who did it. In order to test whether the legendary Chaldean Master was worthy of cooperation, if he died upon meeting him, then that's all."

Altria Alter stared at Menechel without saying a word, her eyes clearly revealing distrust.

"Okay, okay, of course it was to escape danger. I was trying to find someone to cover my retreat just to avoid being chased by that stupid wolf. As compensation, I have already saved that guy from the wolf's mouth."

Hearing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally couldn't help but speak: "But no matter how you think about it, Archer's injuries were mostly caused by you, right?"

Although there were a few marks of beast bites on Archer's body, there were more obvious penetrating wounds.

"Archer... don't you know? That guy is my boss, Moriarty. I don't know why you are traveling with him, but I dare not leave my back to him when he is awake."

"Hey?"

Even someone as ignorant as Fujimaru Ritsuka was stunned. Professor Moriarty, of course she knew this name, who was known as the perfect criminal, the Napoleon of the criminal world.

"Archer is...Moriarty?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka turned his head stiffly to look at the old man lying on the ground who had not yet woken up. The other person's bright dress looked as bright as a venomous snake under the light in the room.

But she immediately shook her head and suppressed the complicated thoughts in her mind.

Her lips moved, but before she could speak, she heard Altria speak first.

"You said that Moriarty is your boss? You are not a Servant summoned by the restraining force."

"The Phantom Demon Alliance."

Archer raised her eyes and showed an expression of "as expected". Berserker also kept silent after saying this word. Only Fujimaru Ritsuka looked confused.

——What’s the matter with this name that sounds like a junior high school student?

Alter saw Fujimaru Ritsuka's confusion, and she took the initiative to explain: "They are the cancer entrenched in this city, and they are also the reason why the restraining force summoned us Servants. They were originally Servants, but they were mixed with the concept of phantoms and became crazy. In short, they are enemies."

Phantom Spirits - Ritsuka Fujimaru once heard from Leonardo da Vinci himself in Chaldea that they were beings that could not be sublimated into Heroic Spirits or summoned as Servant due to insufficient spiritual base values, but Ritsuka Fujimaru had never heard of an example where a Phantom Spirit could be combined with a Heroic Spirit.

Without giving Fujimaru Ritsuka any extra time to think, Minachell also spoke up:

"Whether it's me or that stupid wolf, we are all servants summoned by Moriarty through the Holy Grail. In order to better control us, he even went so far as to eliminate Saber and Lancer."

Fujimaru Ritsuka recalled the giant wolf she had seen before, as well as the motorcycle still parked outside. She put one hand on her chin and made a reasonable guess: "So that wolf is Berserker, and you are Rider."

"No, it's Rider, I'm Berserker."

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked incredulous. Although he had met many Berserkers with whom he could communicate in Chaldea, he could always detect some traces of madness in their words, but the logic of the guy in front of him was very clear.

"That wolf, I originally thought that he could be a Rider because the phantom he fused with was the Headless Horseman, so I hit the Headless Horseman with my bike, and then I was chased by the wolf for three blocks. The mount part was more important than the rider."

"That's why you were attacked by Rider, your ally..." Alter nodded in agreement: "So, what's the reason?"

She looked at Minachell. It was a familiar face, but it looked strange under the light. "What's the reason that could make you turn against us?"

"It's no big deal, Avril. Your Assassin was just used as food by that stupid wolf."

Although Menechelle was smiling, the smile was extremely sinister: "So I can't help but be a little curious about what a wolf that big smells like."

"Even though she is just a fool who was bewitched by you and chose to assassinate me, she is still my sister."

"I see. I understand." Alter nodded thoughtfully. She looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said, "I have no objection. Master, what do you think?"

"I...I have no objection. The more companions the better."

As soon as Fujimaru Ritsuka finished speaking, Altria's voice came into her mind.
