Leaving This World / Run!

"Take care of them, I need to find that human from another world."

Goetia didn't even glance at Hassan of the Arm and Cú Chulainn; he slowly flew towards Mikaela's direction.

"Hey! You bastard!" Cú Chulainn was clearly angry. What was going on?! Did they look down on him?!

"Buzz—!!!"

The large eyes on the Demon God Pillar narrowed slightly, and scorching lasers shot towards Cú Chulainn and Hassan of the Arm. A single Demon God Pillar possessed power comparable to Servant; a dozen Demon God Pillar working together could easily annihilate a top- Servant.

That's why Goetia was so confident in entrusting Cú Chulainn and Hassan of the Arm to the Demon God Pillar, because in his view, these two Servant were no longer a threat.

"Flauros".

Halfway there, Goetia slowly spoke.

A green figure immediately appeared beside him; it was Professor Reif, who had been killed by Artoria earlier. He stood beside Goetia and said calmly, "Your Majesty."

Although Professor Reif addressed Goetia as king, his tone lacked respect; rather, he treated him as an equal.

That's right, Goetia was actually an amalgamation of Seventy-Two Pillars of Demon Gods, not King Solomon.

If the real King Solomon were to appear before Reif, he would absolutely not dare to speak to him in an equal tone.

"Is the threat level very high?" Goetia ignored Reif's attitude. He himself didn't care about such things. He only had one purpose in coming here, which was to prevent our wishes from being ruined by Mikaela.

"Not really now," Professor Reif said calmly. "But he's still 'alive' now, not Servant in the true sense. If he comes out of seclusion..."

There's no need to continue here. In fact, Goetia was already aware of this information. However, what Reif didn't expect was that what Fujimaru Ritsuka summoned was not the real Mikaela, but Servant clone.

The difference between the original body and the clone is simply too great.

As Servant, Mikaela posed little threat to Goetia, since top-tier Servant were hardly anything in their eyes.

Even top-tier Servant are merely somewhat troublesome to Goetia and the other Demon God Pillar.

But if someone is alive... then the situation changes, which is why Goetia personally came to Singularity F to hunt down Mikaela.

"Fujimaru Ritsuka, she's the breakthrough point, right?" Goetia said calmly. If he really wanted to hunt down Mikaela, he could use spatial jump to teleport directly to her side in an instant.

But he flew over slowly, naturally waiting for Mikaela to arrive beside Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"That's right." Reif revealed a cruel smile, and said in a chilling tone, "According to the intelligence I've gathered, although she is cold, she is a person who values loyalty and righteousness. If the king kills Fujimaru Ritsuka in front of her, she will definitely abandon the matter of fusing Spirit Origin and come to kill you."

"No, let her choose for herself." Goetia said calmly, "I will kill her, but I will not kill Fujimaru Ritsuka."

"Oh, I see." Reif wasn't an idiot; he immediately understood what Goetia meant.

He wanted to threaten Mikaela, because killing the Servant Mikaela was useless; the best solution was to kill the original with unlimited potential and force him to become Heroic Spirit.

According to Reif's intelligence, Fujimaru Ritsuka is a very special person to Mikaela, and if her life is threatened, Mikaela will definitely appear.

Of course, if Mikaela's true form doesn't appear, then Goetia will kill Fujimaru Ritsuka and quietly wait for our plan to succeed.

Where is Mash?

Suddenly, Reif spoke up: Mash is also in this Singularity. What should be done about her?

"She shouldn't die here." Goetia's words decided Mash's fate. He said calmly, "She deserves to go to the New World with us."

"..." Reif didn't speak; he simply nodded in agreement with what Goetia had said.

P. S.: "I don't know if I can write the following plot well, but I'll do my best."

Chapter 290 Leaving This World

"Clang--!!"

The Holy Sword at the great shield, Mash's forehead was covered in sweat. In just one minute, she felt immense pressure.

However, there was no other way. Her first battle was against Lancelot, Tristan, and Medusa. She could only passively take the beating and had no chance to fight back at all.

In the second battle, Mash encountered Artoria at her peak, wielding the Holy Grail. At this moment Mash felt that she was able to hold on only because her opponent had shown mercy.

Unaware that her leniency had been seen through, Artoria said in a very cold tone, "Is that all? Then you are of no use at all."

"Excalibur Morgan——!!!"

Terrifying magic was concentrated on the Excalibur, not to mention the destructive aura that was faintly revealed on the blade.

(③④②⑨⑥⑦④⑥⑤)

That magic alone was enough to terrify Olga Marie, who cried out, "Mash!! You have to stop it!!!"

It's almost impossible to dodge now; Mash can't even unleash her Noble Phantasm and can only rely on her shield to take the hits.

"..." Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't speak. She looked at Mash's back, as if she had thought of something, and strode out.

"Fujimaru? What are you doing?!" At this moment, Olga Marie grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka's arm and said in a serious tone, "As Mash and Mikaela's Master, you absolutely cannot participate in battles between Servant."

Olga Marie is right, because they are very weak and Servant can kill them both very easily.

At this moment, Olga Marie didn't want to die; she wanted to live! And return to Chaldea!

"Director, I am your Master." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Olga Marie and chuckled, "Mash is very scared right now, so I want to stay by her side. If she loses, we will also be killed by that Servant. In that case, I might as well stay by Mash's side and fight alongside her."

Olga Marie looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka in astonishment. She could sense the sincerity in the other woman's voice; she genuinely wanted to help Mash.

However, the other person's legs were also trembling. Seeing this scene, Fujimaru Ritsuka, being a mortal, was naturally very scared, but she still stood up to help Mash, which stirred up a strange emotion in Olga Marie's heart.

That's an emotion called inferiority complex.

"Go ahead." Olga Marie sighed, realizing she might have underestimated Fujimaru Ritsuka, a minor.

The other side was terrified, yet they still had the strides to move towards the future, while I... could only stand here and wait for their victory, not daring to intervene in their battle.

"Thank you, Director." After receiving permission, Fujimaru Ritsuka moved and ran towards Mash.

"Um?"

Artoria had clearly seen Fujimaru Ritsuka's movements. She was holding her Holy Sword high, ready to strike at any moment, yet the other party dared to run towards ' Sir Galahad.

'That's not bad.'

Artoria paused slightly; she could unleash her Noble Phantasm now and annihilate Fujimaru Ritsuka.

But the fact that the other party had the courage to fight alongside Lord Galahad made her take a second look at him.

Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly arrived at Mash's side, and at the same time, Artoria unleashed her Noble Phantasm! Excalibur!

The terrifying magic cannon rained down on Mash's shield, the immense force forcing Mash to retreat repeatedly; she seemed unable to withstand such a powerful attack.

But at that moment, a hand grasped Mash the shield.

"Senior?"

Mash, who had been on the defensive all along, was surprised to find that Fujimaru Ritsuka had arrived at her side at some point.

"Go for it, don't lose to her." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled at Mash's surprised expression, looking intently at the Command Seal in her hand, and said, "I believe you can defeat her, Mash!"

"Buzz—!!"

The Command Seal lit up, and a massive amount of magical power flowed into Mash's body through Command Seal.

Seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's smile and her trembling legs, Mash seemed to realize something. Her expression turned serious as she said, "Senpai, no! Master! Please look at me!"

Mash, who was originally very weak, suddenly felt a strange power surge within her.

This force caused her to subconsciously release a portion of the shield's power!

The shield emitted a white light and then expanded outwards, revealing stone walls in its path!

"So you didn't use it all in the end?" Artoria seemed a little disappointed. She continued to activate her Noble Phantasm, seemingly intending to squeeze Mash's potential to its limit.

"Aa..."

However, Mash had already given it her all, and she actually managed to deflect the Excalibur, allowing the beam of light to strike its master.

"Not bad." Artoria, who had taken an Excalibur, actually smiled. However, as soon as the smoke cleared, she immediately straightened her face and said in a very cold tone, "Is that all? If that's all, then you still can't stop me."

"There is no need to fight anymore."

At that moment, Mikaela rushed over. He was very familiar with the terrain of Fuyuki City, and within a minute, he arrived at the Great Hollow and saw Mash fighting with Artoria.

The moment he arrived, he didn't fight Artoria, but flew directly to Olga Marie's side and picked her up.

"Hey!!!" Olga Marie never expected that Mikaela would pick her up directly, which made her blush a little, because she had carefully read Mikaela's information.

Although the other person looks very much like a woman, he is indeed a man.

Flying to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side, Mikaela put Olga Marie down without saying a word, and said in a very serious tone, "Roman, quickly let Mash and Ritsuka leave, and take this guy with you as well."

With lightning speed, Mikaela took the card out of Fujimaru Ritsuka's pocket, then placed a hand on Olga Marie's forehead, her entire body covered in runes.

"Hey?! This?!!" Before Olga Marie could finish her sentence, she was suddenly sucked into the card.

"No time to explain! Get out of this world now!"

After throwing the card to Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mikaela shouted at the newly Projection Doctor Roman, "That guy's target is me! Get Ritsuka and the others out of here right now!"

"No, we still have her in our sights."

At this moment, Goetia crossed space and arrived. His eyes were fixed on Mikaela until she made contact with Fujimaru Ritsuka before he finally arrived.

"Excalibur Morgan——!!!"

However, at this moment, Artoria suddenly launched an attack, Excalibur at Goetia.

Chapter 291 Escape!

"Snort!"

Goetia scoffed dismissively. He waved his hand slightly, and the ring on his hand emitted a strange light, transforming into a magical shield that blocked Excalibur. He said calmly, "I gave you the Holy Grail before simply to let you fulfill your duties. I didn't expect you to help those Chaldea guys. So I can take the Holy Grail back now."

"Such arrogance." Artoria naturally sensed the threat emanating from Goetia, and she said in a very unfriendly tone, "You want to steal my prey and take my Holy Grail."

"Your Holy Grail?" Goetia grinned maliciously, his tone sarcastic. "No, this is Holy Grail I made. Although it's different from the real Holy Grail, it's not that different. I never thought that the dignified King of Knights would mistake the owner of something. How ridiculous."

"Is it yours?" Artoria frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything more. Instead, she slowly walked to Mash's side, protecting her, and said coldly, "So what if it's yours?! The Holy Grail now belongs to me. If you dare to take another step forward, don't blame me for being merciless with my sword."

Hahahahahaha.

Goetia laughed maniacally, seemingly mocking something. He stared at Artoria disdainfully and said, "What good is the Holy Grail to Servant like you?!"

"Idiot, how dare you point your sword at our king."

At this moment, Reif stepped forward, his eyes filled with rage, and stared at Artoria, saying in a chilling tone, "Saber, I thought you were a smart guy, but now you've chosen the most desperate path."

The anger in Reif's eyes was genuine. Although Goetia was of the same rank as them, his physical body was that of King Solomon.

Artoria was pointing her sword at Goetia, which was practically the same as pointing her sword at King Solomon. How could Reif not be furious!

"Despair? Ridiculous. If that's all there is to it, then bring it on." Artoria scoffed. Although she could sense the terrifying power emanating from Goetia, a power she could never match, calling him a god wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Even if she possessed the Holy Grail, she couldn't defeat him, but Artoria had no intention of defeating him at all, because she shared the same idea as Mikaela: to cover Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash's retreat.

"Hey, hey, hey?! What's going on over there?! I can't see anything from your side."

At that moment, Doctor Roman's voice rang out from the side. He sounded very anxious because he could just see Mash fighting Saber through Fujimaru Ritsuka, but after Goetia arrived, he could see nothing anymore.

This is not good news for Roman, because without being able to observe Fujimaru Ritsuka's condition, he cannot proceed with the next step.

"Transfer them quickly! Stop talking nonsense!" Mikaela urged Roman to activate the Spiritron Transfer function immediately. Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash had to leave right now, or the consequences would be unimaginable!

"No... Although I don't know what happened on your end, the anchor point for the Spiritron Transfer can't lock onto you at all." Doctor Roman's expression was also very bad. He had just started the Spiritron Transfer after hearing Mikaela's urgent voice.

The results showed that Spiritron Transfer was impossible, which is why he asked Fujimaru Ritsuka what had happened.

"Damn it!" Mikaela's emotions broke down for once. He took out his pseudo- Divine Declaration, looked at the person standing next to Artoria, and said to Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka, "You two run, Saber and I will hold him off."

"Run?" Goetia's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. He didn't say anything more, just quietly watched Mikaela and Artoria.

"Sister Ella." Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed about to say something, but Mikaela suddenly turned her head, stared at Fujimaru Ritsuka, and said in a serious tone, "Go quickly, don't make me repeat myself."

"...I understand." This was the first time Fujimaru Ritsuka had seen Mikaela with such an expression. She took Mash's hand and ran towards the interior of the Great Hollow. According to the map given to her by Doctor Roman, there were several exits leading to the outside world inside the Great Hollow.

"Swift".

Mikaela conjured a rune out of thin air and imbued it on Fujimaru Ritsuka, increasing her speed several times over.

Fujimaru Ritsuka pulled Mash along and ran quickly, disappearing into the Great Hollow in no time. Goetia and Reif didn't stop them, but watched Artoria and Mikaela with great interest.

"This feeling is really unpleasant." Mikaela sighed softly, glanced at Artoria beside him, and said gently, "I'm sorry to have dragged you into this."

Artoria had originally considered Mikaela to be the final boss, and he had already figured out how to deal with her. But just now, she stepped forward to help Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, which surprised Mikaela and greatly increased his goodwill towards her.
