You're Not Worthy / I'll Beat You to Death, You Ungrateful Descendant

A mocking laugh came from under the cloth.

"I have abandoned that name, my teacher, please call me Alcides."

"I am now nothing more than an avenger who lives solely for the purpose of denying, ravaging, and defiling the gods of Olympus."

"Is this your reason for pointing arrows at young children?" Chiron's gaze grew colder, as if the person standing before him was no longer his disciple, but a stranger.

"For revenge, how could mere taboos possibly stop me?"

Heracles, no, he should be called Alcides, raised his bow and arrow and pointed it at Chiron.

"Even you, my teacher, the Great Sage Chiron."

"Anyone who stands in my way of revenge is my enemy!"

Upon hearing this, Chiron narrowed his eyes slightly, and his aura suddenly surged.

"Then let me see if your archery skills have deteriorated!"

Tensions are high, and a showdown between master and disciple is about to begin.

At that moment, due to the children's momentary lapse in attention, Illya broke free from her restraints.

She spread her wings and leaped to Alcides' side, her small body standing between the two of them, her crimson eyes fixed on the person in front of her.

"You're kidding, right?"

"You must be joking, right?"

"You're a great hero, a great hero wouldn't do this, you must be joking!"

Illya spoke in her childish voice, her eyes filled with tenderness and adoration, as she waited expectantly for Alcides to nod in agreement.

"This must be a misunderstanding."

"Alright, alright, the misunderstanding is cleared up, everyone's fine now."

Illya stepped forward, talking to herself, and tried to grab Alcides' arm.

Snap!

Alcides swung his longbow and used the back of the bow to send Illya flying.

She blocked his enemies.

Chapter 10, Section 524: You Don't Deserve It

"Illya!!!"

Yuxian was so shocked by this scene that his eyes widened in fury. If Mash hadn't been holding him tightly, he would have lost his mind and charged forward.

No matter who you are, no matter how wronged you feel, hurting children is Yuxian's mortal enemy.

Seeing this, the children could no longer sit still and all of them jumped out, instantly surrounding Alcides.

"You're dead!"

Little Jeanne pointed her spear, as if giving a signal, and the children immediately launched their attack.

Anna leaped into the air, twisted her small body, and with a scythe in her hand, drew a crescent-shaped streak of light as she charged forward.

Alcides swung his longbow to block her attack.

Taking advantage of this brief moment, Little Jack held the dagger upside down with both hands, leaned forward, and moved closer.

With a swift motion, Alcides tried to retreat to avoid the attack, but his feet were unexpectedly entangled by a tentacle-like object.

He took several stabs from Jack, yet showed no signs of injury.

The cloth draped over Alcides' head was the Nemean Lion, and the tools of the Human Principle could not harm him.

Gretel Rhyme was chanting to herself as she held a colorful fairy tale book in her hands, seemingly preparing some kind of Magecraft.

Kuro Hei, on the other hand, held a bow and arrow in hand, Projection Spiral Sword, and was constantly charging up his power.

Illya lay on the ground not far away, staring blankly at the scene.

Unbelievable, sadness, grievance, and all sorts of emotions burst forth in her eyes.

"Enough!!!"

She screamed loudly, tears streaming down her face, dripping into the dust and disappearing without a trace.

Hearing Illya's shout, the children all stopped what they were doing and looked at her.

Instead of standing up, Illya took off directly from the ground and flew towards the distant forest.

She flew aimlessly, crying, wanting nothing more than to get away from this place.

"Illya!!!"

"Illya!!!"

"Illya!!!"

The shouts did not bring her back; instead, she flew even faster and disappeared into the forest in the blink of an eye.

The children were immediately at a loss, anxiously wondering what to do.

Yuxian jumped off Vimana and said to Golden Flash, "Thank you for giving us a ride. Now we must take our leave."

Golden Flash nodded; he could tell that the girl who left was very important to Yuxian.

Yuxian gathered the children together; at this moment, no further accidents could be allowed to occur.

The top priority right now is to find Illya; nothing else matters.

Before leaving, he turned to look at Alcides and said coldly, "You'd better pray that Illya is alright."

"Oh, I forgot, you don't have a god to pray to."

"From the moment you knocked the girl who worshipped you away from your sight, you were no longer worthy of the name Heracles."

"Remember! It's not that you discard it, but rather..."

You! Don't! Deserve!

Yuxian finished speaking slowly and deliberately, looked at the unmoved Alcides, shook his head, and turned to leave.

At this moment, Alcides was clearly filled with nothing but hatred, and he regretted wasting so much time talking nonsense.

It's more important to find Illya quickly; this person has been blinded, and nothing we say can reach his heart.

Yuxian and his group headed towards the forest where Illya had disappeared.

"Fun! Amusing! Heh... haha..."

Francesca, watching this scene, burst into laughter once again.

But soon a look of doubt appeared on her face.

"Illya? An android from Einzbern? She looks very much like her."

"And that little girl who looks so much like Jeanne d'Arc d'Arc... I'm a little bothered by her... I really am! I wish it were Jeanne-chan!"

"When did this human, accompanied by so many Heroic Spirit, arrive in Snowfield? What is his purpose?"

"Oh dear! Let Fardius worry about these things! Hehehe..."

The distant laughter echoed in the dimly lit room, lingering for a long time.

Chaldea Central Control Room.

"Hold him down! Don't let him smash the equipment, these are all very valuable."

Da Vinci rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on, as he watched a group of people hurriedly pin Brother B to the ground.

Brother B roared incessantly, struggling to get up, but he was outnumbered and unable to move.

Da Vinci said with a regretful expression, "I should have known better than to let you all come and watch the show. Really."

She looked up at Brother B and explained helplessly, "Illya is fine. I've been monitoring her movements the whole time. Such a big guy, and she's not calm at all."

"Roar--!!!"

"Okay, okay, I got it. I promise Illya will be alright, is that alright?"

Da Vinci raised her hands in surrender. She was already busy enough, and now she was making trouble for herself. She felt that she would die from overwork one day.

Snowfield West Forest.

Illya Luffy and flew until she arrived at this dense forest.

She plunged into the forest, not caring whether she knew the way or not, and walked until she was tired before squatting down under a big tree.

His dirty hands wiped away his tears haphazardly, making his face look like a little kitten.

"Child, are you lost?"

A gentle voice rang out.

Illya looked up and saw a beautiful person with bare feet and long green hair reaching her waist standing in front of her.

Enkidu.

Illya knew Enkidu, but at the moment she was still immersed in her grief and had no mood to think about anything else.

She kept her head down, huddled under the tree looking aggrieved, and sobbed softly.

Enkidu didn't say anything more. He quietly walked over and sat down next to Illya. A small silver wolf crouched in front of him, looking at Illya with curious eyes.

"Woo woo..." The little wolf let out a soft whimper.

Enkidu stroked the fur on its back, and the little wolf immediately quieted down, lying there motionless and enjoying Enkidu's caresses.

And so, the human and the wolf quietly stayed by Illya's side, keeping her company.

Perhaps she was tired from crying, Illya gradually leaned against the tree and fell asleep.

The forest was unusually lively today, as another uninvited guest arrived after Illya.

Richard I and Sajyou Ayaka walked slowly side by side.

Seeing Enkidu sitting under the tree, they wanted to go up and say hello.

"Shh..."

Enkidu gestured for the two to be quiet, pointing to Illya was fast asleep beside him.

The two understood each other and quickly became more discreet.

After standing up and walking a distance, Enkidu said softly, "A lost child cried himself to sleep."

"If we're going to fight, can we wait until she leaves?"

"Of course!" Richard I readily agreed. "It is the responsibility of a king to protect the dreams of his children."

Sajyou Ayaka looked at Enkidu, then at Richard I, her eyes full of doubt.

Is this what the Holy Grail War is really like?

Chapter 11, Section 525: I'll beat you to death, you unfilial descendant!

Richard I left during the chaos at the police station for Ayaka's safety, but in doing so, he left his sword there.

He was empty-handed now, but of course he wasn't worried about that. If a fight really broke out, he had his own methods.

Enkidu doesn't seem to have any intention of fighting him now. Instead, she's taking care of Silver Wolf and Illya, acting like a caring older sister.
