Family heirloom, then turned into a demon girl

Chapter 438 Mission: 02-4 The Tortoise and the Hare
In the eerie and corrupt hall, Jacques de Molay, the Grand Master of the Knights Templar who had been corrupted by the evil god and turned into a witch, lay in a pool of dark mud, crying loudly.

When Georgos finally fought his way back into the temple of the holy city, this was the scene he saw.

"...I'm still a step too late after all."

Georgos frowned slightly, his eyes spinning to find the uninvited guest.

"Whoosh, whoosh..."

Behind him, the door was roughly slammed open again. A silver-haired man stood at the doorway, looking inside and saying something similar to Georgos: "Are we late again?"

"Mr. Nero, slow down! Slow down..." Following him into the city was someone Georgos knew. The orange-haired girl was clearly the Master from Chaldea—well, not really an acquaintance. For a Heroic Spirit whose every descent into the world represents a new life, past experiences are merely "knowledge." Georgos knew the girl was the Master of Chaldea, and that he had undoubtedly met her somewhere before, but that was all he knew.

Besides being the Master of Chaldea, this girl was also the Master of the Sixth Beast. Her beastly aura couldn't fool Georgos, one of the Floor Guardians.

Because all the heroic spirits summoned by this dying world exist to seal the demon beast He and to kill it.

"That's too much... I'm a seriously injured soldier, you know?"

Speak of the devil, and soon after, the sixth beast, who had just been mentioned, entered the door. Even so, in Georgos's view, whether this empty shell, having lost everything that made it a beast, could still be called a beast was a matter of questionable validity.

"Mr. Georgos?" Master Fujimaru Ritsuka shouted in surprise.

"Don't be careless, Master. The level guardians are our enemies." Draco, with a dragon tail and a long skirt, stood in front of Ritsuka.

Immediately afterwards, two more heroic spirits entered the temple, making a commotion. The one in front continuously hurled various ominous poisonous objects at the back, while the one behind nimbly dodged them all, demonstrating their considerable skill.

"You evil woman with sinister intentions, don't come near the Master!"

"Who wants to listen to you, stupid dog!"

"Can you say that again?!"

"Stupid dog, stupid dog, stupid dog!"

"..." Ritsuka, who was looking at this with a frown on his face, said speechlessly to the person beside him: "Draco, please kick them out first."

"Well...it did dirty my ears."

"Uh, so there are things you find unpleasant too," Ritsuka complained.

"nonsense."

In an instant, the angry dragon suddenly rose up and pushed the two of them out together, then slammed the door shut.

Throughout the whole process, Giorgos just watched the farce in silence, and heard Jacques de Molay crying.

It wasn't until the door was tightly closed that Georgos spoke slowly: "...If you're here to find the Warcraft He, it seems that thing is no longer here."

As he said this, he turned his gaze to the leader of the Knights Templar who was still keeping out of the matter, and shook his head with regret.

"We can see it." Mr. Nero sighed and held his forehead.

They were actually riding a legitimate means of transport for traveling across worlds. Nero must have used the Yama Blade to force her way through, but she still seemed to be moving faster than them. Could they really just watch her handle everything and pretend nothing happened?

But...even if he caught up with Nero now, what could he do?

Mr. Nero, who had embarked on the journey with a sense of purpose, fell into self-doubt for a moment. Because Nero seemed to know what she was doing, although Mr. Nero didn't know why she did it - this approach seemed a bit extreme.

Mr. Nero is the complete opposite. He really doesn't know anything now and is just rushing forward blindly.

Now that I stopped, hesitation caught up with me.

It was just a vague impulse, just like at the Demonic Tree, he vaguely felt that if he didn't do it, he would regret it. But later it turned out that the worry was completely unnecessary.

Will it be the same this time?

"Jilie..." He sighed softly.

"Really?" Draco was not surprised by this. She just raised her head and turned to look at her Master: "So, Master, do you still want to move forward?"

Ritsuka answered immediately without hesitation, "Of course."

Georgos glanced at the two of them and asked, "Are you chasing that beast-hunting being, He?"

"Yes! As a Master... I cannot allow a being that could endanger the world to be born." Ritsuka declared, then asked, "In your opinion, is that 'Nero Alter' dangerous?"

Georgos shook his head. "I can't say for sure. Perhaps you, as the Beast Master, must witness this with your own eyes."

Turning around, he continued, "But there's one thing that really bothers me. Although she's clearly headed down the path of becoming the 'Antichrist,' I feel like I see the potential for the 'Savior' in her."

"Huh?!" Draco was the first to object. "You, a saint, have you got Alzheimer's? My beast power is the 'Anti-Messiah', killing, mocking, and devouring the Savior. That girl clearly has the same power as me, and you say she can be the Savior? Don't laugh at me!"

"As you said, this may indeed be nonsense I spoke in confusion. There's no need to worry too much until it's confirmed." Georgos was particularly calm in the face of Draco's ridicule, appearing very cultured.

But unlike Draco, Ritsuka always listened carefully to the opinions of every Servant. In her opinion, this was the core reason why she was able to break through the seven singularities and successfully save the burned world. "No, that's a very useful reminder. Thank you."

"Then we can continue walking." Mr. Nero reminded.

The mysterious woman in white said before that Ritsuka "can make people believe that she will make the right decision", which is quite similar to what Jillie told Mr. Nero at that time - there is no need to doubt your actions because you know what is right.

So watching Ritsuka's actions, he was reassured of this - he just had to do what he thought was right. Don't worry about the results, they are just a side note to the actions.

He couldn't just go back to the old ways just because he was dealt a blow by Nero.

But at this moment, a ghostly, eerie and resentful voice sounded from behind Giorgios.

"Unforgivable..."

There, the witch stood up at some point.
