Go Ahead and Try / I Underestimated You

If the other party is willing to join it, Gaia will gladly accept, since the more combat power the better.

However, Alaya, as the Humanity's Counter Force, took the initiative to attack. There was no other way; it had far too few guardians under its command. If it were just grunts, it would have some, but if it were guardians with the combat power of Servant... Alaya simply had very few.

"So be it." Mikaela looked at Alaya and said calmly, "Even if I die, I will not become a guardian of humanity."

The implication is clear: if Mikaela were to die, she would certainly not choose a guardian from the Alaya lineage, but rather Heroic Spirit from the Gaia lineage.

"..." Alaya sighed helplessly. She stretched out a hand and gestured roughly, saying humbly, "The price is negotiable. Besides, you won't be taken seriously over there."

Even without transforming or using other weapons, Mikaela is still a first-rate Servant simply by borrowing Valkyrie and Medusa's Spirit Origin. Moreover, Alaya is truly envious of the weapons he possesses.

That's not some Noble Phantasm made by elves, gods, or demons; it's a weapon forged by humans in the truest sense!

Weapons forged by humans?! Weapons forged by humans can rival those of gods and fairies?! Holy crap!! What does that even mean?!

As a member of the Type-Moon World, Alaya felt that it was incredibly destined to be with Mikaela, so it chose to temporarily back down and let her think it over. Going to that little bitch Gaia would mean she would never be taken seriously in her lifetime.

Gaia has an abundance of top-tier Heroic Spirit. Although it is not qualified to command, it is at least nominally qualified to be a commander. If it actively requests a Heroic Spirit to fight, others will still give it some face.

Therefore, Mikaela would definitely not be valued if she went over there, so it would be better for her to come to our side.

It's like some arrogant people who would rather be a manager at a branch office than a regular employee at the main company.

"It's better than being a wage slave." Mikaela didn't care about any of that. He was getting impatient. He controlled the Oath of Judas and prepared to shatter this space.

He should go save Fujimaru Ritsuka now, instead of arguing with Alaya here.

Anyone who knows the details of Alaya knows that associating with it is a dead end, and you'll be working every day without getting any rest!

In contrast, with Gaia, you only need to lend your name, and then you can do whatever you want. As long as you don't destroy the world, even if you slaughter all of humanity, it won't say much.

"I think you've misunderstood me." Alaya said helplessly. It could tell that Mikaela was determined not to sign a contract with it.

However, it is impossible for it to give up on a human of this level! It must sign a contract with the other party, not only for its own strength, but also for the weapons in its possession to be distributed to others.

Alaya couldn't be happier just thinking about the weapon in Mikaela's hand.

"I'll give you over ten years of magic power first." Before Mikaela could speak, Alaya raised his hand and waved his hand, granting her over ten years of magic power ahead of time.

A blue light flowed into Mikaela's heart; this was the purest magic, without any artificiality.

However, after paying Mikaela over ten years of magic power, Alaya's body became much more ethereal. It seems that giving away so much magic power for no reason was a huge drain on it.

"I'm not in a particularly good state right now either, and I believe you have the wisdom to know what's going on." Alaya looked at Mikaela and said calmly, " With the Grand Order Incineration, I am almost gone. If you sign a contract with me, the world will give you endless magic power, even if my consciousness perishes."

"Besides, if you want to save Fujimaru Ritsuka, your current magic power is simply insufficient to defeat the 'beast'."

Seeing that he couldn't win them over, Alaya started trying different ways to promote herself.

At this moment, Alaya is indeed in a bad state. As one of the two great Counter Force of Type-Moon, it has only given Mikaela magic for a little over ten years. After paying this magic, the surroundings have begun to crumble, and it itself has begun to dissipate.

Given enough time, Alaya might be able to persuade, and might even convince, Mikaela.

But now there is no time for that. Fujimaru Ritsuka absolutely cannot die. She is the last Master of humanity, and she carries a heavy responsibility that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

At the moment of the Chaldea explosion, Alaya gave Fujimaru Ritsuka something—something crucial that could save Human Order.

However, humanity has its limits. Even though Alaya had planned so much, she never expected that, because of Mikaela, Goetia, who was sitting in the Temple of Time watching humanity perish, would personally intervene and capture Fujimaru Ritsuka.

This was a miscalculation on its part, but it wasn't without a chance to salvage the situation. After all, as long as Mikaela's main body went there, Fujimaru Ritsuka would be safe.

"I have my own ideas." Mikaela had a rough idea of what was going on. Alaya had probably just given him his last bit of magic. He looked at Alaya and said calmly, "Besides, I don't want to defeat Goetia. I just want to rescue Fujimaru Ritsuka."

"Goetia just wants to kill me; he doesn't care what Fujimaru Ritsuka is capable of."

"..." Alaya remained silent, and sighed slightly. It naturally knew what Goetia's goal was, which was why it came over to sign a contract with Mikaela.

If a contract is signed in advance, then if Mikaela dies, she will become the guardian of humanity!

Instead of becoming a heroic Heroic Spirit of the Gaia lineage.

"Until we meet again."

Alaya looked deeply at Mikaela and said sincerely, "You absolutely cannot die. I will come to find you after the Grand Order Incineration is over."

"Bang--!!!"

Space shattered, Alaya vanished.

Chapter 310 You're welcome to try.

The moment space shattered, Mikaela's figure vanished, and he continued to be teleported in the void.

Due to his 'connection' with Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mikaela quickly returned to Singularity F. Unlike the previous Servant clones that descended, this time he descended in his true Singularity.

"Huh? They've only been here a few minutes?"

As Mikaela descended, Goetia slightly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them; clearly, the opponent was moving far too fast.

"Flauros, Fujimaru Ritsuka properly." Goetia didn't care about Fujimaru Ritsuka's life or death, but he admired her for the courage she showed in the face of death.

In human terms, Goetia took a liking to Fujimaru Ritsuka, seeing her as a pet, and decided to adopt her.

"Yes."

Reif naturally understood Goetia's thoughts. To be honest, because of Mash, he also quite admired Fujimaru Ritsuka. However, admiration is one thing, but if the other party stood in the way of their great cause, he would not show any mercy.

However, since Fujimaru Ritsuka no threat at the moment, they spared her life.

Goetia is the same in this respect. He is a very rational person. If Fujimaru Ritsuka shows great potential, he will crush him no matter what.

For example, Mikaela, Goetia, and Reif all admired each other, respecting each other's wisdom and strength. If this had happened in ancient times, the other person would likely have become one of the most outstanding gods.

Despite the praise, Goetia was ruthless! She was determined to destroy Mikaela! Goetia wouldn't give up until she had him on the Throne of Heroes.

Just as Reif was about to take Fujimaru Ritsuka away, a dandelion flew over from a distance.

"Huh?!" Goetia reached out, preparing to use the power of the ring to stop the dandelion, but the next second, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, as if he had seen something surprising.

Are you that surprised?

A gentle female voice rang out, and a petite girl arrived at supersonic speed.

"Shuashuashua——!!"

Goetia didn't go to protect Flauros. He stretched out his hand, and eighteen True Magic barriers appeared in front of him. The 'girl' who had rushed over was too fast. If he went to protect Flauros, she would probably attack him at point-blank range.

Just as Goetia had expected, the very next second after he released the True Magic barrier, the seemingly frail girl had already swung her little fist, just like a child.

"Eora!"

With a voice filled with 'weakness' and 'powerlessness', the girl smashed through fifteen True Magic barriers with a single punch.

"Where did this monster come from?" Goetia raised an eyebrow, a hint of seriousness flashing in his eyes. He could tell that the opponent had not used any special means, but had only used his physical body to inflict such terrifying physical damage.

"Puff--!!"

On the other side, Reif had just realized what was happening and was about to turn around to use Magecraft to block the dandelion when half of his body was smashed by the dandelion.

"Aaaaaaaahhhhhh!!" Reif roared in fury. Even though he had lost half of his body, he was not completely dead. After all, he possessed extremely strong immortality and quickly recovered.

He was simply furious that he, as one of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods, had been so humiliated in this Singularity.

Previously, she was blasted to death by Artoria with Excalibur, then trapped by two of Mikaela's 'individuals', and now she has been half-shattered by a dandelion thrown from who-knows-where.

What a disgrace! He wished he could grind that mysterious woman to dust!

"Come on!" The girl, who had shattered fifteen True Magic barriers with a single punch, stretched out a hand, seemingly controlling something.

"Buzz!!"

As if sensing something, the dandelion caught Fujimaru Ritsuka in mid-air and rushed towards the girl.

"Bang—!!" The seemingly 'delicate' girl kicked the remaining True Magic barrier with a powerful kick, and then instead of attacking Goetia who had lost her 'defense' ability, she used the force to fly backward.

As she flew backward, the girl caught Fujimaru Ritsuka and held the dandelion in one hand. She looked calmly at Goetia and said, "I told you, I would come back to save Ritsuka."

That's right, the one who came was Mikaela. The moment he arrived, he immediately crushed the card and transformed into Hozuki to come and save Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Hozuki is a relatively weak yokai in the world of Onmyoji. According to her own words, she is just a little yokai who doesn't like to fight. As long as others don't bully her, she won't bully others either.

She appears very delicate, and her personality reflects that. She consistently strives to support her companions, not wanting to be a burden. She also always cares for and looks after her friends.

This is the standard configuration of a delicate young girl.

At least... that's how it appears on the surface.

In reality, the Hozuki whose power was borrowed by Mikaela only appears weak; her physical strength is unimaginably powerful, even if Dandelion roughly estimates it in its original form.

It probably weighs ten tons! What does that mean? A seemingly delicate young girl watching a ten-ton dandelion fall on someone?

"It's you." Goetia was relieved. He had just sensed Mikaela's arrival in this world and hadn't even used his Clairvoyance to check on her when she rushed over.

"It seems you're not very surprised."

Mikaela did not deactivate her transformation. Although she was in her current form Hozuki, she could still use runes. She drew a rune in the air and once again dispelled the sleeping Magecraft on Fujimaru Ritsuka.

After Fujimaru Ritsuka woke up, she obediently walked to the side, her eyes filled with excitement and self-reproach.

"Why are you surprised?" Goetia looked at Mikaela and said in a very calm tone, "We have already studied your abilities. Since you can wield powerful weapons, you can naturally transform into other people's appearances as well."

"My true form has arrived. Can you release Ritsuka?" Mikaela asked, looking at the cracked space around her. She said calmly, "If we continue fighting like this, the space will shatter. You and I can hold on, but Ritsuka is still just an ordinary person."

"Ridiculous. If you let her go, you'll run away too."

Goetia showed a disdainful expression. He would definitely not let Fujimaru Ritsuka leave unless Mikaela committed suicide on the spot.

Otherwise, he would never release the 'hostage' before killing Mikaela completely.

"..." Mikaela remained silent. She didn't say anything more, but reached out and patted Fujimaru Ritsuka's head. Looking at Goetia, she said firmly, "I said I would rescue Ritsuka!"

"You're welcome to try," Goetia said with a sinister grin, the nine rings in his hand radiating an eerie light.

Please take one day off.

The author has a terrible headache and is taking a day off. He couldn't fall asleep last night and only drifted off around 10 a. m. Now he's very dizzy and can't write anything.

I need to take a day off for now, and I hope you will all understand.

And... this plot is really giving me a headache; I don't know if I can achieve the effect I envision.

Chapter 311 I underestimated you

Mikaela, now in her true form, confronted Goetia, who possessed nine rings.

Neither side made the first move.

Goetia knew that Mikaela was in good condition at the moment, and since he knew nothing about most of Mikaela's abilities, he had already exposed his true strength in his few attacks, which put him at a serious disadvantage.

Goetia had previously claimed without batting an eye that he knew all the information about Mikaela, but in reality, he was lying.

As the embodiment of Seventy-Two Demon Gods, lying is naturally second nature to him.

On the other hand, Mikaela was also very wary of Goetia. The other party was still wearing the skin of King Solomon, which greatly limited his combat power. But once he tore off this skin, Mikaela would have no choice but to reveal his true trump card.

"Ohhhhhhh!!!"

At this moment, the enraged Reif finally recovered. He naturally saw the situation on the field and, without saying a word, unleashed a Magic Laser towards Mikaela, intending to force her to make a move.

"Roll!"

Seeing that Reif had made a decisive move and broken the stalemate, Mikaela also waved the dandelion in her hand. Her enormous strength blocked the Magic Laser. At the same time, a green bubble flew out of the dandelion in her hand and rushed towards Reif.

Seeing the green bubble flying towards him, Reif's expression changed slightly. Instinct told him that he absolutely could not get close to this green bubble, but his dignity told him that if he backed down now, his dignity as one of the Seventy-Two Demon Gods would vanish!

He's Seventy-Two Demon Gods created by King Solomon!

Reif lost his temper. The once calm and collected Leif was now just as out of control as the previous Demon God Pillar due to the successive blows.

After transforming into Demon God Pillar, he didn't say a word and used all his eyes to unleash Magic Laser powerful enough to shake space, blasting away the green bubbles that were floating by.

"Whoosh—!!"

Seemingly sensing a threat, the green bubble immediately accelerated, burrowing into Reif's body at an unimaginable speed as the Magic Laser shot towards it.

"Ding~"

A pleasant sound rang out, and the dandelion flashed with a green light, as if it had been replenished with some kind of energy.

"How... how is this possible..." Reif, still in his Demon God Pillar form, exclaimed in utter shock, "My life essence was forcibly plundered?! How is this possible?!"

When the green bubble was implanted into Reif's body, the thing inside him that represented 'life' was taken away.
