Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War

Page 1046

With such resentment and regret, Goetia could only keep that familiar face in her heart.

(If the world has chosen you this way, then an endless journey awaits you.)

Thinking of Ritsuka's status as a Heroic Spirit, her characteristics, and her Noble Phantasm, Goetia turned to his inner thoughts.

This is definitely not the end.

This applies to both him and Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Even if we defeat him temporarily.

However, he doesn't think this player has a high chance of winning.

Even though they used their own spiritual foundations to weave new "beasts" to replace them, and the scale of their existence was perhaps unattainable for ordinary people, these heroic spirits would not back down.

Whether it's Lancer, Saber, Berserker, or Assassin

The remaining four riders were all beyond Fujimaru Ritsuka's ability to defeat alone.

Previously, the presence of numerous scattered Servants could have added a negligible chance of victory, but Caster and his intervention severed that slim possibility.

Moreover, the other party is unaware that they have tampered with the items.

All that's left for you is despair.

With those final words, Goetia's figure vanished into the world as specks of light.

Upon hearing this, Ritsuka remained silent, glancing at Fujimaru, who lay in the distance, his fate unknown.

"Perhaps that's true, but our efforts will definitely not be in vain."

She gritted her teeth and tried her best to suppress the restless spiritual energy.

The fluctuating magic gradually subsided under Ritsuka's soothing touch.

The summoning of the "beast" stopped at the crucial point.

This was Ritsuka's own choice.

Although releasing it would allow her to summon any beasts involved, just like Goetia, she held back.

Keep the spirit core belonging to the beast safe; it's a complete "egg."

He smiled at the summoned heroic spirits, and then, in response to their calls, the Servants departed.

Only one Nightmare gave Artoria a meaningful look before leaving.

"Really."

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them "acquaintances," as Artoria naturally knew their identities.

Unexpectedly, Fujimaru Ritsuka was able to call out all her former teachers.

Considering the figures of those heroic spirits just now, they must all be outstanding individuals in their respective fields.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to delay the small human reasoning cannon fired by Geitia in this way.

"You really are something, defeating a beast so easily."

Ignoring Merlin's matter, Artoria watched the fading breath and spoke to Ritsuka, who was still standing.

To be able to defeat a beast so "easily" is quite an achievement even among Heroic Spirits.

The space of death dissipated at this moment, and she no longer needed to maintain Avalon's power.

"I couldn't have done this without the help of others."

He didn't act arrogantly, but instead shook his head in response.

The process may seem to be going smoothly, but the internal risks are far more complex than can be described in a few words.

This is why Gilgamesh called it a "gamble".

If any link in the chain is lacking, such an "outcome" cannot be achieved.

Even though she "defeated" Goetia, she did not arrogantly believe it was because she was very strong.

It's just that Goetia and she are very incompatible.

This act of overwriting one's spiritual origin usually only occurs among "acquaintances".

For example, use the initial A flash to trigger the C flash.

Goetia's strength also stems from the unique nature of "beasts," which is precisely what makes her a counter to Heroic Spirits.

The victory achieved by exploiting these differences can be described as opportunistic and cunning.

"We need to check on his injuries first."

With her magic power nearly depleted, Ritsuka looked at Fujimaru, who was lying on the ground unable to stand, and sensed something was wrong.

I shouldn't be that "fragile".

Before they could even think about the Dragon Balls in Goetia, Ritsuka and Artoria were getting closer.

"This is?"

But as soon as they got close, the two noticed the strange "injury".

The part that Fujimaru had summoned with his Spirit Origin Shadow to defend himself was now shrouded in eerie black energy.

"!"

"!?"

Realizing the situation, he squatted down and discovered that the vital energy within him was waning.

"As expected, he won't let me off so easily."

Upon realizing the nature of the injury, Ritsuka revealed a look of resentment.

Although they suspected there were risks involved in the trip, they never expected that Getia had a backup plan.

"Infuse the attack with death energy the instant it was launched."

That punch was not simple on the surface; it contained a second, hidden attack.

Goetia added an extra layer of "efficacy" just to be on the safe side.

Using the Pale Knight's death power, it wouldn't be difficult to directly transport Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was still human, to the underworld.

"It's hopeless."

Artoria had no way to save such "injured" patients.

Avalon can prevent and isolate attacks, but it cannot pull someone back from the brink of death.

Will it still end up like this?

But Artoria noticed that Ritsuka, who was squatting next to her, was not sad, but rather looked a little regretful.

He can't stop here.

"The continuation of that problem still needs to be addressed."

"you!?"

Artoria was startled when she saw Ritsuka reaching out her hand.

"I am ultimately just a special heroic spirit summoned by this war."

"So even if it disappears, there's nothing to worry about."

"But he's different. There are other people waiting."

"I can't let him stagnate here."

That smiling expression conveyed a sense of relief.

"How you use this power is up to you."

"But no matter what, you will certainly not encounter the same difficulties I have faced in the past."

Without interrupting, Artoria simply watched the scene unfold quietly.

The girl named Fujimaru Ritsuka ultimately sacrificed everything for another version of herself, along with the newly acquired "Beast" spirit origin.

"On the journey ahead, live life to the fullest, and then wreak havoc to your heart's content."

Those pointed words were hard to understand.

But on his way back to death, Fujimaru heard it clearly.

Their hands clasped together.

He then opened his eyes.

The pain and injuries that had been plaguing my body have all disappeared.

The lingering deathly aura dissipated.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

But Fujimaru knew

Rider

They're gone.
