Chapter 110

Everywhere you look, there is a sea of ​​fire.

"What's wrong, senior?" The girl holding the shield stopped beside Fujimaru Ritsuka and looked at her worriedly, "This is Fuyuki City, Japan in 2004--"

——Looking back, this sea of ​​fire.

——This is the singularity F, the starting point of her journey to become the savior, and the origin of all stories.

——How much time has passed since that day?

——It’s been a long time since I last saw Mashu like this.

——How long will it take to reach the end of this journey?

"I'm sorry, Mashu." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled at the faceless girl holding a shield beside him, "Ah, I'm sorry - it's just that I have to move forward faster..."

——I'm sorry I didn't hold your hand this time.

——However, you must leave all of this behind and move forward desperately.

"Here we are, we have to run as fast as we can to stay where we are. If we want to go somewhere else, we have to run twice as fast."

——Because all of this is already a thing of the past. The real Mashu and everyone in the new Group A are still waiting for her to leave.

——She will not linger for the past.

——Because, she chose this path of no return just to preserve the irreplaceable past.

"...Yes, that's right. If you want to do this, Fujimaru Ritsuka, are you ready to realize that you will never be able to return to ordinary life again?"

——This is the reminder given by Chaldea's deputy director, Lord Lansemello, to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

“It is too cruel to carry the whole world on the back of human beings—the road ahead is hell, and only hell.”

——This is the advice given by the two Heroic Spirits who dreamed of becoming “Partners of Justice” in their childhood.

"Merlin once said to me before I drew out the Sword of Choice - 'Before you pick up that sword, you'd better think carefully. If you pick up that sword, you will no longer be human. After you draw out that sword, you will be hated by all kinds of people and meet a tragic death.' Master, I am not here to dissuade you. I just want you to know one thing - as long as you are firm in your beliefs, everything else will not matter."

——These are the words that Artoria, who was almost deserted by everyone at the end of her life, said to Fujimaru Ritsuka before she actually underwent the tuning transformation.

"I made this choice for myself - so I won't regret it. Even if my hands and feet are broken or I lose my life along the way... I will use all means to force myself to reach the end." Before the tuning transformation began, Fujimaru Ritsuka gave Lancer Melo his final choice, "So, I will become one of the 'people' who rebuild this world!!!"

So she ran as fast as she could in this endless sea of ​​fire - the sea of ​​fire swept backwards and soon turned into a French forest, and there were even two-legged dragons circling in the sky, but Fujimaru Ritsuka did not stop.

"A soldier's first move should be two squares."

"I am really desperate, frustrated and angry about this France - but I still have my beloved family here."

Joan of Arc's words echo in Fujimaru Ritsuka's ears - this is Joan of Arc's self-confession at the end of the First Anomalous Point, before the battle between Joan of Arc and Gilles de Re, who has transformed into Bluebeard, begins.

"I am Rome and Rome is I!!!"

——The Rose Emperor’s declaration still echoes in Fujimaru Ritsuka’s ears.

"So that's how it is." When Fujimaru Ritsuka appeared on the Triton and looked out at the boundless ocean, she finally understood the operating mechanism of this chessboard. "After entering, the first thing that appears is a dream. Only by breaking through the dream can you appear in the second square and become a chess piece, and then you can keep moving forward..."

"Moreover, this chessboard will generate corresponding chessboard squares and illusions based on the memories of the participants."

——This endless ocean is not the Atlantis of the Atlantic Anomaly Belt, but the circular sea of ​​the third anomaly... In addition to the Triton floating on the sea in the form of a three-masted ship, which is a clear evidence, the many pirate flags flying in the distance prove that this is the anomaly that gathers all pirate ships from ancient times to the present.

"Fortunately, when Leonardo da Vinci first built the Triton, he equipped it with the most advanced power system at the time..." Fujimaru Ritsuka entered the captain's room and began to drive the fictional Triton in his memory, "Let me see... Well, if this is driven to the maximum, it can leave all the pirate ships behind, right?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru drove the Triton forward, and before entering the next chessboard, she saw the towering Demon Pillar version of Buddha Button - although in her memory, Buddha Button was only a Q-version snake-necked dragon doll that rolled around in Chaldea all day and occasionally helped everyone.

The fifth frame is London, where all the streets are filled with magic fog. There are more chaotic robots, automatons, and artificial life forms than what Fujimaru Ritsuka actually encountered in the fourth anomaly. The savior in the form of a girl walks through the streets of London with ease, dodging all kinds of attacks calmly...

Then she stopped in front of the clock tower.

Red thunder, black lightning, and blue arcs intertwined in this only area that was cleared of the magic fog - and compared to the nervousness when he first came here, Fujimaru Ritsuka now even had the leisure to pay attention to other things.

For example, the red lightning belongs to the knight Mordred, the black lightning belongs to Artoria who turned around after picking up the Holy Lance, and the blue arc belongs to Dr. Nikola Tesla who reproduced the power of God in human form.

For example - counting the time and waiting for Gaetia in my memories to appear.

In fact, in the past exploration of the fourth feature, Gaetia descended with the Demon Pillar and two other mounted servants - but now the two servants with lightning power who appeared with the Demon Pillar have already appeared, leaving only Gaetia in Solomon's shell and the Demon Pillar Barbatos.

Fujimaru Ritsuka waited for a while - until the two Horse Servants summoned by the Fourth Singularity Holy Grail were defeated, she had to admit that the Holy Grail of this singularity did not have the spare power to replicate a human evil existence, not even the phantom in the memory.

So Fujimaru Ritsuka left here and strode forward without any attachment - she crossed the stream that separated the squares on the chessboard and came to the sixth square.

This is the North American continent, the fifth anomaly - and the place where Fujimaru Ritsuka first took the initiative to try to lead and arrange the actions of the Servants.

Here, Fujimaru Ritsuka persuaded everyone to abandon the plan to assassinate Queen Maeve, and instead led everyone to attack the prison on Alcatraz Island - they brought the seriously injured Rama to find Sita, and then Sita gave her life and healed Rama with the power of Nightingale.

Then they joined forces with Edison, who represented the will of all American presidents, allocated their forces, and launched a counterattack against the Celtic side that had almost completely ravaged the entire continent. After defeating Queen Maeve, the northern front was almost forced to collapse by the twenty-eight demon pillars summoned by Maeve before her death in the name of the twenty-eight warriors, and they faced the arrival of the demon pillar Harpas.

"Although we won in the end, this was undoubtedly the first time in my past experience that I experienced such a tough battle - although the subsequent battles became more and more brutal and cruel." Fujimaru Ritsuka closed his eyes and sprinkled the ashes in his hand, "But this is undoubtedly the first time."

"Because there has never been a battlefield where the stakes are so high before."

The next memory belongs to the sixth characteristic point.

Before the start of the exploration of the anomaly, Fujimaru Ritsuka learned some information about Mash from Roman. At that time, because of her first encounter with Roman in his private room, she had a high trust in the head of the medical department... so much so that she did not notice the unusual things about Roman.

Just like when he first arrived at this special point, the moment Fujimaru Ritsuka stepped into the seventh grid, he was surrounded by endless yellow sand. Fujimaru Ritsuka touched his pocket, took out a dress that could be used as a compass, and walked towards the direction of the Cretaceous City standing at the end of the world.

Along the way, Fujimaru Ritsuka met the sixth singularity exploration team in her memory, met the Hassans who were the leaders of the mountain people, and saw Xuanzang Sanzang and Tawara Tota traveling in the wilderness - but she did not see the violet knight who had been wandering for 1,500 years.

——There was no trace of the human who claimed to be the Roman Emperor Lucius, who disguised himself as a Servant under the power of the Demi-Narvore.

Ritsuka Fujimaru ran on the dry and cracked black earth, heading towards the pure white ideal city at the end of the world - the holy city of Camelot.

That knight had wandered this world for fifteen hundred years in order to fulfill his king's order to return the holy sword to the Lady of the Lake. When Merlin saw him at the entrance of Avalon, he almost turned into rock, and the flowers of Avalon had even blossomed on the knight's body.

And the knight still tried his best, trying his best to drive this body that has experienced 1,500 years of time to move - King Arthur's first and last knight, Bedivere, came to this special point in order to return the holy sword.

Ritsuka Fujimaru ran forward desperately - she passed through the underground maze of Atlas Court, through the charred endless wilderness, through the city gate guarded by the knight Gawain, through the city guarded by the knight Tristan, through the corridors in the castle, and came to the door between the thrones of the Chalk City, but finally stopped in front of the slightly open white door.

Through the gap between the doors, Fujimaru Ritsuka saw the sea at the end of the world behind the throne, the knight Bedivere who was fixed at this moment by her memories, and the Holy Lance Goddess Rongomeniad who finally remembered the knight's name and changed slightly from the direction of goddess to the direction of human.

"My king, I have finally completed your last order."

"... Well done. I am the last and most outstanding loyal knight."

The time between the thrones stopped at this moment - the Holy Sword was returned by the Violet Knight, and the Holy Spear Goddess was taking the Holy Sword from the Knight's hand; at the same time, the Knight's body began to disintegrate and turned into dust and dissipated.

"Thank you for your hard work, Sir Bedivere."
