The Light / Fujimaru Ritsuka's First Summoning

"Huh? I don't have to participate in the initial operation?"

While lying in the medical room, Fujimaru Ritsuka also received the news that, for some reason, she had been kicked out of the first mission.

"Hmm...it seems to be Professor Reif's suggestion." Mash nodded slightly, seemingly relieved, and smiled at Fujimaru Ritsuka, saying, "But it's good this way. After all, your current physical condition is not suitable for entering the Singularity, even if you have 100% Spiritron Transfer potential, your physical and mental state is not very good."

"Professor Reif may have also discovered this problem, which is why he had the director single you out from the first operation."

"He really is a good person," Fujimaru Ritsuka remarked, though she felt a little uneasy inside.

In the past, Fujimaru Ritsuka might have genuinely thought that Reif was a great person, but the heat from the 'card' on her chest just now made her feel that things might not be so simple.

After all, the card has two symptoms of fever.

First, there is a particularly dangerous enemy nearby.

Second, there is danger; an enemy has their eye on you.

When the card arrived at Chaldea, it did not show any signs of fever. It was only when that guy Reif stared at it that the card suddenly 'fevered'.

In other words, that Reif... is a dangerous enemy.

Fujimaru Ritsuka sat up in bed, waved her little arm, and smiled at Mash, "Mash, can I go for a walk? I can't just lie here all the time."

"Senior, let me take you to your room. I'll also tell you about some things related to Chaldea along the way." Mash nodded slightly, even though the director had already begun preparing for the operational meeting.

Whether she goes earlier or later, it doesn't matter.

"Well then, thank you." Fujimaru Ritsuka jumped off the bed, put on her shoes with practiced ease, and smiled at Mash. "If you could, could you also tell me about Magecraft and Servant? To be honest, I'm still completely clueless about these things."

"Of course."

Mash nodded; she would have told the other person even without Fujimaru Ritsuka saying so.

Compared to other "seniors", she liked this "senior" more because she was more like a "human".

PS: "Phew! After a day of adjusting my mindset, I'm almost back to normal. I need to keep pushing myself today!!!"

Chapter 272 Radiance

Darkness, as always.

In the darkness, Mikaela walked step by step. He didn't know how long he had been asleep. He only knew that Medusa's Spirit Origin had not yet been fully integrated, so he had to remain asleep.

Is Medusa's Spirit Origin fusion slower than that of Valkyrie Spirit Origin?

In the midst of nothingness, Mikaela thought to himself, his goal being to fuse the spirit Servant multiple Spirit Origin to make his body even stronger.

Currently, only two Servant with divine attributes have been fused.

Strictly speaking, those two Servant with divine qualities are not true Divine Servant; they are merely those who have a slight connection with 'gods'.

Valkyrie are beings mass-produced by the great god Odin. Although they possess some divinity, they are still inferior to true gods.

Medusa is quite peculiar. She was a god in her childhood, but turned into a monster as she grew up. Although she still possesses some divinity, overall she can no longer be considered a god.

In reality, Mikaela was quite tempted by the 'body' of Medusa's two sisters. They were true gods, and if she could just devour them, Mikaela's ideal body would probably be created.

However, it seems that it has already taken him a long time to fuse Valkyrie and Medusa's Spirit Origin. If he really wants to fuse a third Spirit Origin, he will have to consider all aspects of the situation.

"I don't know how much time has passed. At the end of this space, that's probably where 'they' live."

At this moment, Mikaela stopped and looked ahead. He could vaguely sense that those 'people' were in front of him, but he could neither 'see' nor 'touch' them.

After Brynhildr's sudden appearance last time, Mikaela had almost figured out that somewhere in her body, there must be a place where those Heroic Spirit lived.

Although they didn't know where they were, they didn't seem to have any hostility towards him. When he tried to kill Valkyrie once, Brynhildr even stopped him slightly.

In reality, given her own strength, Mikaela didn't have much confidence in defeating her.

After all, she is a legendary Valkyrie, and a genuine Valkyrie at that! Even without the added bonus of being a legendary Valkyrie, she is in no way weaker than Sigurd.

This kind of first-class, almost top-tier Heroic Spirit, even Mikaela herself wouldn't have much confidence in defeating.

Moreover, since she was injured at the time, if Brynhildr had hardened her heart and activated her Noble Phantasm without hesitation, then Mikaela would probably have been defeated.

However, she did not do so, so Mikaela allowed the other to possess her body and talk to Valkyrie.

Afterwards, he arranged for her to meet with Sigurd, and he suppressed her and Valkyrie's 'killing intent'.

Because she had helped her, Mikaela wanted to repay her; this was Mikaela's life motto.

"Um?"

At that moment, Mikaela, who was walking in the darkness, suddenly noticed a glimmer of light ahead. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes. What was going on?

Why does a light appear in the darkness?

Could it be that I reached the finish line?

Thinking of this, Mikaela quickened his pace and ran towards the light. He was a little excited, because if he could communicate with those 'beings', he might be able to find his way home.

"Bang bang bang—!!"

A violent explosion rang out. At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka, her face full of surprise, stared at Mash, who was holding a giant shield and dressed in what appeared to be a rather revealing outfit. She was unable to react for a moment.

"Senior! Please leave this place for now." Mash the giant shield, trying her best to block the attacks in front of her, but judging from her trembling body, she clearly couldn't hold on for long.

"How... how do we leave?" Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed to the skeletons surrounding her, her face full of helplessness. "I don't think I can fight those armed skeletons with my bare hands."

"Ah."

Mash hadn't expected the enemy to surround them so quickly. She was almost at her limit, but at the very least, she had to save her senior!

"Ah... how sad. If you could give up resisting, perhaps you could be a little happier."

The man who had been relentlessly attacking Mash shook his head slightly. He didn't open his eyes, but continued to draw the bow in his hand. No... it should be said that he didn't draw the bow, but rather, like a court musician playing a zither, he gently stroked the bow in his hand.

Countless 'invisible' attacks rained down on Mash's shield.

"This is our Holy Grail War. How pitiful, a little girl who is clearly not even qualified as a warrior." Lancer, wielding a long spear and with a bloodthirsty look on his face, charged at Mash once again with lightning speed.

"Arrrrrrr——!!!"

A berserker shrouded in black mist gripped his weapon, leaping and bounding about in a frenzied rage, unsure whether to attack or remain silent.

After all, he recognized her at a glance—the shield-wielding girl before him was someone who possessed the Spirit Origin of his child.

"Senior!!"

At this moment, Mash had no choice. Facing three Servant, she couldn't protect Fujimaru Ritsuka. She could only grab the other's collar with one hand and rush towards the skeleton.

"Bang--!!"

Seemingly sensing something, the berserker roared and charged towards Mash!

Then... he slashed fiercely at Mash... and the skeleton soldiers beside her!

His obvious act of aiding the enemy caused the red-haired man with the bow to shake his head slightly and calmly say, "Enough, enough. The king ordered us to capture the Servant invaded this world, and he is not an ordinary person."

"Buzz—!!"

The red-haired beauty also made his move, killing all the approaching skeleton soldiers. Then he said in a gentle tone, "If you're a smart person, then please stop and come with us obediently. Otherwise, a second before you throw out your Master, you'll probably see a mangled corpse."

That one sentence made Mash freeze. That was indeed what she was thinking: after clearing out the skeletons, she would throw her Master out and then continue to fight back.

"Snap!"

Just then, Fujimaru Ritsuka crushed the card representing defense, and a pale golden defensive shield enveloped the two of them.

"Useless defense."

The red-haired beauty shook his head and drew his bow once more, sending several arrows of air hurtling towards the golden defensive shield.

"Huh?" This time, it seemed to be the other person's turn to be surprised.

His attack only caused a slight ripple in the defensive shield, without causing any actual damage.

Chapter 273 Fujimaru Ritsuka's First Summoning

"That's surprising. This defense is so strong that even you can't break through it."

Holding a long spear, the voluptuous Lancer resembles the Romania Rider Medusa.

Or rather... they are the same person, just with different ranks.

However, she didn't appear as aloof as she did in Romania. Instead, she exuded a charm that only a mature woman possesses. She licked her lips and looked with interest at the golden protective shield that protected Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash.

She swung her scythe and slashed fiercely at the golden defensive shield.

"Thump—!!!"

The golden shield blocked her weapon, and as if enraged, golden lightning transformed into spears that charged towards Medusa.

It integrates offense and defense.

Clearly, when Mikaela gave the Fujimaru family the defensive cards, she also considered that if they encountered attacks from other Magecraft instead of natural disasters, then her defense would retaliate.

Of course, due to Fujimaru Ritsuka's special nature, the defensive cards given by Mikaela are cards that can protect against attacks from Servant.

Seemingly testing the waters of the attack, Medusa did not leave, but instead reached out and forcefully caught the attacks!

"..."

Both Servant present fell silent for a moment, because blood was flowing from Medusa's hand, indicating that her body had not been completely ignored during the attack.

As one of the Three Knight Classes, she was actually injured by this mere defensive shield.

Keep in mind that she possesses B-rank Magic Resistance, making her difficult to harm even with grand Magecraft. At first, she thought the red-haired handsome man was holding back and planned to shatter the protective shield to embarrass the two Knights of the Knights of the Round Table.

Unexpectedly, this was not an ordinary defensive shield at all, and he was injured instead.

"Hmph! Let's see how long you can last." Medusa was a little angry. She suddenly raised the scythe in her hand and continued to strike at the golden protective shield.

The golden shield seemed to be enraged as well. The golden lightning she conjured became even stronger, faintly carrying an aura of destruction, and charged towards Medusa.

"Noble Phantasm? But judging from its scale, it seems to be a one-time Noble Phantasm." The red-haired handsome man stopped attacking and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with some surprise, clearly not expecting that the other party would possess such a treasure.

Similarly, inside the golden barrier, Mash looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with great surprise and asked, "Senpai... what's going on?"

"Ah, this is something Sister Ella gave to our family." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the 'Medusa' battling the protective shield outside. There wasn't much fear in her eyes, but rather a strange look at Mash's attire. She asked, "At first, I thought you looked quite innocent... why did you start fighting..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Mash with a somewhat subtle gaze. The outfit Mashu was wearing was more like erotic clothing than a combat suit.

With her prominent breasts and barely concealed hips, coupled with her alluring figure, to be honest, if Fujimaru Ritsuka were a boy, she would definitely have been aroused on the spot!

The reason is simple: no one can resist a woman with an angelic face and a devilish figure.

"Ugh!" Mash's face slowly turned red as she was stared at by Fujimaru Ritsuka. After all, she knew how embarrassing her outfit was.

Having ignored her clothes during the battle, she now Fujimaru Ritsuka she could hide behind a large shield so her senior wouldn't see her like this.

"However, could you explain what's going on? I still don't know what's happening." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Medusa, who was constantly attacking the golden defensive shield, and the two Servant were watching her intently.

Fujimaru Ritsuka is still in a daze because the Chaldea Control Room exploded a second ago, killing not only herself but also some of the other Master and staff.

Mash was the only survivor at the scene, so Fujimaru Ritsuka ran over to try and save her.

Before she could say more than a few words, Fujimaru Ritsuka fainted. When she woke up, she found herself being protected by Mash.

"This is a long story." Mash looked rather troubled. If she were to explain it properly, the timing wasn't quite right.

Fujimaru Ritsuka shrugged, her tone somewhat helpless, "Mash, you should get to the point. My dad told me that this golden shield can block attacks for half an hour, but with their attacks like this, I don't know how long it can last."

In fact, Fujimaru Ritsuka's guess was correct. Under Medusa's fierce attack, the golden shield had already dimmed somewhat, and if nothing unexpected happened, it would probably only last for about seven or eight minutes.

If the other two Servant join the battle, the golden shield will be destroyed several times faster.

"Yes... Senior, this is Singularity." Mash also started to get straight to the point, intending to introduce the situation here.

After briefly explaining the situation, Fujimaru Ritsuka, her face beaming with joy, looked helplessly at Mash, "So, these three guys outside are basically like Sister Ella, legendary Servant?"

"Hmm." Mash nodded slightly. Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression, she quickly said, "However, according to what the director and the others said, the Miss Ella you mentioned, senpai, is extremely powerful, because she has the strength to end two Holy Grail War."

"That's right!"

At this point, Mash suddenly seemed to remember something and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with great excitement, saying, "That's right, Senpai! I have a way."

"Hmm? What method?" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Mash, who was suddenly excited, and felt a little strange.

"Use this."

Mash placed the large shield on the ground and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with great excitement, saying, "If we summon Miss Ella, then the current predicament will be nothing to her."
