The blue dress shimmered, and as the concept of fragility weakened, Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't have much time left.
If we use [Iron Fist Judgment], which has some divine attributes, we might be able to kill with one blow!
But you only get one chance.
Fleeting!
"Hey! You actually chased after him? You really have guts! He's Hercules, the legendary Hercules!"
After creating some distance, Hector landed on a magnificent warship.
Hercules, on the other hand, seemed to have some kind of magical energy flowing beneath his feet, allowing him to stand steadily on the ocean!
"I know, shut up."
Fujimaru Ritsuka and her companions had already put some distance between them. The Golden Deer was currently raising its sails again and would have to wait a while before it could catch up.
In other words, she had unknowingly ventured deep into enemy territory alone.
"Alright, alright, then I won't say anything more, Uncle."
"Fool! She actually dared to challenge Hercules? What?! That's hilarious! Hahahaha... See? She actually dared to challenge Hercules...!"
The blond man stood on the magnificent ship, laughing heartily.
"Yes, Hercules is the strongest hero of Greece. Lord Jason, as long as he takes action, no enemy is a match for him."
"It's the purple-haired girl holding the staff," she said.
Fujimaru Ritsuka ignored her.
Her time is very precious.
Due to her "oceanic" nature, Fujimaru Ritsuka is able to unleash combat power on the sea that is equivalent to that on land.
She met Hercules' roar head-on, her azure star breath enveloping her fists like gauntlets.
"That starting stance and fighting style, could it be...?"
David squinted.
He always felt that this posture, though somewhat imperfect and immature, was...
Could it be——
Iron Fist Judgment
Faced with Hercules' steel-like body and monstrous strength, as well as his terrifying chariot-like form, can Fujimaru Ritsuka really win?
The battle cry alone was enough to cause the waves before them to surge. Fujimaru Ritsuka's toes touched the surface of the sea, and with the spread of ripples—
boom!
The girl shattered the air with a deafening roar, transforming into a streak of blue light as she held her breath.
Errors are not allowed.
We cannot back down.
call out--!
In the blink of an eye, she was able to think so much. In fact, in order to adapt to the power and body of the True Ancestor, Fujimaru Ritsuka's brain was constantly being trained.
As a result, it becomes easier to draw upon magic to pull muscles and unleash power beyond one's limits.
Whoosh!
“Hoo-ah!”
Hercules breathed in the hot air.
He raised the enormous black axe-sword.
This is to me—
A head-on collision?!
Seemingly sensing that Fujimaru Ritsuka was eager to decide the outcome with a single blow, Hercules thoughtfully tensed his muscles, his hands bulging with veins, channeling boundless power.
I was underestimated.
Or perhaps Fujimaru Ritsuka underestimated her opponent.
Or perhaps, they both look down on each other.
Suddenly!
Fist and sword clashed! Intense power surged through the air and sea, and a scorching red light exploded from the center!
boom!
The ocean is churning!
The waves surged tens of meters high, even reaching the sky and towering into the clouds, causing the world to change color suddenly and everything to lose its luster!
The magnificent warship began to rock!
The magnificent war medic, Yi Qisi Wu Jiushi, was rocking the boat wildly!
"Ughhhhh, that guy?!"
Jason wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but the warship beneath his feet wouldn't listen to him.
He gripped the mast, his face pale as he stared at the crimson beam of light that stretched straight to the sky.
No way?
Hercules will really be...
Jason, who had just had this idea, was amused by his own naive thought.
how can that be possible?
Hercules is invincible, the strongest!
No one could defeat Hercules in a direct confrontation...
boom!
"Roar! Aaaaaaaaah!"
Just as Jason was thinking this, a crimson light exploded inside Hercules' body.
The brilliance of the Star Breath pierced through Hercules' chest, and the instant the power that could kill any Servant was unleashed, its recoil also sent Fujimaru Ritsuka flying.
A thick cloud of scorching mist dissipated, and the huge chunk of steel, apart from being slightly red and emitting scorching steam, was completely unharmed!
"how so?!"
In a daze, Fujimaru Ritsuka seemed to see the giant monster's body intact.
A chill ran through me.
My all-out attack had no effect?!
No, just now there really was something that destroyed Hercules' body.
Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't think her Star Breath could compare to Artoria's Holy Sword, but even so, such a close-range attack should have left no chance of survival!
Mashu hurriedly hugged Fujimaru Ritsuka, and with a piercing scream, her combat boots carved a shallow ravine on the deck of the warship.
"Senior, are you alright? That heroic spirit is...?"
Mashu had seen him before, that awe-inspiring steel demigod.
Just standing there, he exudes a terrifying aura and a sense of pressure.
The berserk monster that has appeared now is far more terrifying than the Shadow Servant that Fuyuki encountered before.
“Yes, it’s Hercules,” Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in reply.
Hercules?!
Hercules of Greece?
The expressions on everyone's faces instantly turned serious.
"Hahahaha! Hahahaha!"
Jason wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and after confirming that Hercules was alright, he burst into arrogant laughter again.
"Fool! Hercules is a great hero who has passed the twelve trials. Unless you can kill him twelve times, no attack can destroy him!"
—So that's how it is. So this is the power known as the "Twelve Trials"?
Fujimaru Ritsuka heard this clearly. In other words, one would need a Noble Phantasm strong enough to kill him 12 times in order to defeat Hercules... This was completely different from the Shadow Servants they had faced before.
"Hey! Lord Jason, you've just revealed our biggest trump card like that?"
Hector scratched his cheek.
"What, you think they really have a way to defeat my Hercules? Very good, as expected of the prince of Troy, your sense of humor is as strong as ever."
Jason said nonchalantly.
"No... Uncle, that's not what I meant."
But, how should I put it?
Jason's current behavior gives people the impression of a minor villain.
People like this usually don't have the last laugh... well, anyway, it has nothing to do with the older man.
Hector, not wanting to offend Lord Jason, obediently stepped back.
"Go forth, Hercules!"
"Bring Euryale here!"
Euryale: Why is it me again?!
I don't know why, even though she's a goddess who can't even kill a chicken, why do all these people have to come looking for her!
"Damn it! How dare they steal my beloved Euryale! Even my ancient ancestor, the pirate Jason, would never forgive such a thing! You bastard! You already have Medea!"
Blackbeard, with half his body crippled, roared in fury.
"Who...who the hell are you?!" Jason was exasperated. "I want Euryale, of course, for..."
"Ah...no, you're still alive?"
Francis Drake glanced at Blackbeard. Even though the man's heart [Spirit Core] had been pierced, he was still alive. Could it be said that pirates have extremely tenacious vitality?
"Blackbeard is immortal!"
"As long as the evil in humanity persists, Blackbeard's soul will never be extinguished!"
I feel a bit nauseous.
"Francis Drake..."
"What are you calling me for?"
It wasn't "old hag," but her full name, which Drake suddenly found a little strange.
"I'm so sorry I couldn't kill you."
""
Blackbeard grinned, breathing heavily, his gaze fixed intently on the Agor.
"Ah... this apology... never mind—"
Drake could roughly sense Blackbeard's thoughts.
The other party was the original pirates.
"Ritsuka."
"exist."
Fujimaru Ritsuka's dress was removed, and she changed into her original Chaldea uniform. She looked at Edward Teach, whose chest was pierced, and Drake, who looked on with emotion.
"Just watch, the final demise of pirates."
"Betrayal, killing, death... this is the dead end for us who are guilty of heinous crimes."
"It's tragic, isn't it? But..."
