"As long as it doesn't interfere with his final 'judgment' of all humanity, a little less fun is fine."
Hearing this, people all over the world felt a sense of unease.
"Judgment? What judgment?"
"What did we, all of humanity, ever do to you?"
"Hiss, doesn't this King of Heroes feel like the ultimate villain?"
"Dark currents are surging, the eighth Heroic Spirit hidden beneath the stage... it really gives off the vibe of a final boss."
"Does anyone know Junko Enoshima?"
"Internal intel says our world's Enoshima is an S-class wanted criminal."
"Whoa, what did she do?"
"—She attempted to create the world's greatest despair, and if successful, it would endanger all of humanity."
"Never heard of it, is that true?"
In a remote school in Hokkaido, thick dark clouds covered the sky. Ferocious evil spirits roared in anger, battering the restraining exorcism seals.
None of them were weaker than B-class evil spirits, and there were even many A-class ones, as well as more terrifying existences that grimly sought to regain their freedom...
"Oh? Have 'I' appeared?"
Junko Enoshima gazed at the Sky Screen in surprise.
She never expected that her parallel world self would also be stirring up trouble.
"Then let's see who's plan succeeds faster."
Her eyes flickered, and the corners of her lips curled up into a delighted arc.
Elegant, composed, and confident – who could imagine the extreme madness hidden within her heart?
47. In the End, Akihito Tomoya, the Master of Death!
"Master, you're back."
Below the luxurious villa, Medea smiled gently, her eyes shining.
This sorceress from Ancient Greek mythology couldn't imagine that she was about to be betrayed once more, to experience heart-wrenching despair amidst the trust she thought she had gained.
"...Medea, it's over."
At the doorway, Akihito Tomoya smiled, his eyes filled with cold and brutal intensity.
After receiving the promise of King of Heroes Gilgamesh, he no longer needed this useless Heroic Spirit. Not even being able to summon dragons was a joke!
The Heroic Spirit who could bring him victory was what he craved most.
"Master, what do you mean by that?!"
Medea keenly sensed something was wrong, her beautiful eyes widening, her voice trembling with panic, her hands shaking uncontrollably.
Fate, don't make me go through this again...
I just want to go back to my homeland...
Won't you even give me the right to have sweet dreams?
She sobbed inwardly, feeling profound sorrow as the gears of fate turned.
"Crack—."
Akihito Tomoya sneered, easily pulling off the exquisite amulet around his neck.
Medea clutched her heart, her whole body trembling, a hint of sadness in her beautiful eyes.
That was a handmade item she had crafted to bring her Master luck and ward off evil.
The man no longer concealed his intentions, coldly raising his wrist to reveal the crimson Command Spell pattern.
"By the name of the Command Spells, commit suicide, Caster!"
"..."
As a crimson light flashed, an invisible magical power flowed into Medea's body.
Crystal tears welled up in her eyes. She was sorrowful yet utterly silent, her hand emitting a soft glow, rapidly transforming into a gorgeously designed dagger.
This was the sublimation of Medea's life story, a Noble Phantasm formed from the legend of the Betrayal Witch—Rule Breaker!
Its performance as a weapon was almost nonexistent, but it was the ultimate anti-magic artifact.
It could break all magic upon being stabbed, but it could not affect any Noble Phantasm.
"Hiss... A magic-breaking dagger. Is this how Caster managed to counter-kill that scumbag Akihito?"
In the world on the Sky Screen, Hachiyuu Ryuu's eyes widened in disbelief, feeling a grim sort of satisfaction.
Who wouldn't want to see that dead scumbag die?
Especially when he was suddenly betrayed, his eyes wide with disbelief as he was killed, right when he was being smug and self-satisfied.
It feels so good just thinking about it!
"Poor Medea..."
The little loli with purple hair and beautiful locks rubbed her eyes, wiping away tears of pity.
After hearing Medea's sorrowful thoughts, Renka Miyauchi felt immense sympathy.
"Scumbags deserve to die!"
The black-haired moe girl, Kagura Tsuchimiya, snorted coldly.
If she had been born in that world, she would have done everything in her power to slay that scourge!
Although she was a foodie, she was a renowned exorcism genius in Japan.
["Thwip—."]
["The dagger plunged deeply into her chest. Medea's eyes were filled with sorrow as blood gushed out."]
["'Master, why are you treating me like this? Did I do something wrong?'"]
["'...Blame yourself for being too useless!'"]
["Akihito Tomoya sneered dismissively and then kicked Medea viciously in the face."]
["Bang!"]
["The beautiful woman in the cloak fell to the ground, coughing up blood with a pale face."]
["The man felt no guilt, mockingly sneering, 'You slut, you bitch, descending with the weak Caster Class, yet you can't even use your trump card Noble Phantasm, the Golden Fleece. How can you blame me for abandoning you?'"]
["'You must have used all your skills to seduce men and practice your bed skills.'"]
["'I... '"]
["Medea wanted to say more but stopped. Her impression of Akihito Tomoya instantly collapsed."]
["She gazed at the ugly man before her with disappointment, gripping Rule Breaker, her hand still trembling with hesitation."]
["The kind Medea was still considering whether to kill him."]
["But soon, Akihito Tomoya made Medea's choice for her."]
["He stared intently at his own Heroic Spirit, his jealousy gnawing at his molars."]
["Only at the very end, when victory was within his grasp, could the man reveal the deep hatred buried in his heart."]
["'Honestly, ever since I summoned you, I've been incredibly annoyed with you.'"]
["'You, the Betrayal Witch, how can you possess such profound mastery of magic!'"]
["'I built a huge magic workshop, toiled for months, and used thousands of children as human batteries, just to extract a few thumb-sized magic crystals.']
["'You just lift a finger and conjure palm-sized magic crystals out of thin air...']
["'When I cast magic, I need at least a few seconds of incantation, but you can cast High-Speed Divine Words without any incantation.'"]
["'My magic bullets can only shatter walls, but you can blast a hundred-meter radius into ruins.'"]
["'Why!!'"]
["'If I had mastered divine-era magic, I would have already conquered the world. Only I, Akihito Tomoya, am worthy of possessing this ability.'"]
["'Even when I asked you to teach me, you couldn't... Useless! Useless!!'"]
["'No wonder Jason abandoned you, you stupid woman... truly a stupid woman.'"]
["'Enough—!!'"]
["Medea roared in anger. The mention of Jason had crossed her bottom line."]
["As the 'Princess of Colchis,' she had abandoned her homeland and family, entrusting her happiness to the scumbag Jason. In the end, he grew tired of her and abandoned her ten years later to marry someone else."]
["From then on, she carried misfortune, filled with longing and bitterness until her death, unable to return to her homeland."]
["Now, Akihito Tomoya bringing up the past was undoubtedly rubbing salt in Medea's wounds."]
["She would absolutely not be soft-hearted again and spare this ugly master."]
The world looked at Medea with great pity, feeling sympathetic and somewhat relieved that the scumbag Akihito Tomoya was finally going to die!
Bullet comments flooded the Observer Net like a tide, everyone indignantly speaking up for Caster!
"Caster always meets scumbags... my heart aches QAQ."
"Don't cry, Medea, don't cry. I'll share my figures with you."
"Although she's a betraying woman, she was actually betrayed first before she fiercely retaliated."
"I remember learning about ancient Greek myths. In Medea's story, I remember she represents the resistance of the oppressed."
"Even so, Medea wasn't a kind person in the myths."
"It doesn't matter. Compared to Akihito Tomoya, that dead scumbag, she's practically a shining saint!"
"That makes sense..."
"Caster is so beautiful, I already liked her, but now I love her even more!"
"Go Caster, kill that scum Akihito!"
48. Akihito's Spine Wand, everyone who uses it says it's great!
["Pfft, getting angry already?"]
[Akihito Tomoya sneered dismissively, crossing his arms and looking down at Caster.]
[Facing Medea's angry expression, he remained unfazed. After all, Servants were merely "Servants" as understood by humans, incarnations of Heroic Spirits drawing on ley line magic in the mortal world, restricted by Command Spells as reins.]
[If it were the Heroic Spirit's true form, Akihito Tomoya would naturally be respectful and wouldn't dare to be presumptuous.]
[But a mere Servant...]
[Heh~]
["Pfft—."]
[Suddenly.]
[A sharp whistling sound cut through the air as Rule Breaker slashed.]
[A right arm was cleanly severed and floated in mid-air, scattering blood.]
[Akihito Tomoya's pupils flickered, his mind going blank for a moment. Fear, panic, unease, despair... countless emotions surged into his heart.]
[He incredulously clutched his empty sleeve. As blood stained his hand, his nerves instantly revived, and the pain violently struck.]
["—Ugh, ah, ahhhhhh!!"]
[Suddenly, the pathetic master's piercing scream spread through the Void.]
His teeth chattered as he understood his current situation, his despair turning into a cry that echoed through the heavens.
