I'll kill you after I finish this game!

Common sense dictates that internal expansion can only be limited to what the external appearance suggests.

No matter what's inside, it's impossible to fit a car and a house into a space the size of a wardrobe.

Yes, if we only consider it from a common-sense perspective.

However, this magical castle defies common sense, and Himuro Reia naturally took this into account. As can be seen from the analogy just now, the girl had already envisioned an unusual situation.

but---

Himuro Reia's imagination is very limited. No, even if you're not a young girl, there aren't many people who could have imagined what's happening right now.

Buzz! ! !

As soon as the lid opened, the girl was swallowed whole.

Perhaps she went in on her own, but Ling'ai wasn't quite sure.

At that moment, all I felt was speechlessness and surprise.

"here......"

The sight before her left Himuro Reia somewhat stunned.

The interior here is an entire city.

Although she didn't know when or where, the streets ravaged by raging fire were laid bare before the girl's eyes.

This situation can be described as a world within a pot.

The scene of war and the vortex of conflict, with the burning red flames of war forming the shape of a swastika.

Ah, this is... a golden swastika formation that spreads from the city of Berlin throughout Germany.

That was most of the world's territory that had been swallowed up by the Box of Contracts.

Right now, the outside world is doing things that are even more outrageous than they were sixty years ago, and this time it's truly affecting the whole world.

But is the person Himuro Rei is looking for here?

As if walking in the air, the girl looked around, but there was no one there.

"Yitzhak!"

Ling Ai shouted loudly, her voice echoing around, but she received no response.

But the girl didn't stop. She walked on, following her own feelings, or rather, sensing the connection in her blood.

He kept shouting as he walked aimlessly.

This has happened countless times.

"【...Who are you?】"

Suddenly, after Rei had called out countless times, a voice seemed to resonate from within her mind, spirit, and soul. Rei opened her mouth and asked this outsider girl in a puzzled tone:

"[What do you need me for?]"

"!?!?"

Terrified, astonished, and shocked, Himuro Reia's eyes widened as she covered her mouth, making a sound that terrified her.

Did anyone scream?

The girl thought she had made a sound but nothing came out; she thought it was her own voice but it had been replaced by something else.

Can this strange expression be understood? Can it convey and comprehend this phenomenon?

Even if I told a third party about my current experience, I probably wouldn't be able to explain it well.

I am both myself and not myself.

The girl's own mouth did not make a sound; instead, it emitted a sound that was not of her own volition.

Although she couldn't understand this phenomenon, Himuro Reia only knew one thing.

There are indeed people here; besides myself, there is another person present.

That's...Yzak?

"...Yzak."

The girl spoke silently. Sure enough, what she thought she had made a sound was actually not a sound at all.

But as long as the other person could hear her, Lingai continued to ask questions of people she couldn't see or who were nowhere to be seen.

"【Yzak... ah, yes, that's right... my name...】"

From within the world of the gourd came a soft voice, a voice that murmured in confusion followed by a wry smile. It was a voice like that of a young boy, and he continued speaking calmly:

"[The Thirteen Knights of the Holy Lance, sixth on the Black Round Table—Yzak, the Son of the Sun... or so it seems, but so what?]"

"------!"

Immediately, Himuro Rei's expression changed, and she unconsciously raised her hand to cover her chest as a sharp pain suddenly shot through her.

That was the feeling that spread through my chest as Izak spoke, a feeling that also came from resonance.

The girl felt that this was herself, without Lisa, without the priest, and without encountering Fujii Ren, Skadi, Yuza Shirou, and Ayase Kasumi.

It is very possible that because of different development processes, Himuro Reia would also become like Yzak at this moment.

Therefore, Ling'ai, having learned the truth, decided that she would save him no matter what.

Moreover, the key to breaking the deadlock lies with the other side.

-----

Returning to, or rather arriving at, the final battlefield—Suwahara Tower—the curtain of battle was fully raised when Reinhardt and Fujii Ren clashed for the first time.

Reinhardt, as the commander-in-chief, did not allow the three knights to intervene, and suddenly launched a single-handed attack on Fujii Ren and the rest of the group.

This was something that Fujii Ren and the others had not anticipated, but if they wanted to kill Reinhardt, this was the only place, and at this moment.

Of course, it's definitely not easy, but it's better than starting with a 4:3 ratio.

If your side has no losses, directly confronting the enemy's King is definitely not a bad thing.

Even without the three captains' intervention, the Golden Alchemy Array wasn't at its full potential, and the difference in combat power wasn't something that could be reversed with a three-to-one advantage...

Reinhardt, who now possessed his own body, was far more terrifying than the last time Fujii Ren had ever seen him; the density of his soul was incomparable to the previous one.

However, Fujii Ren's previous move, the Path of Incessant Slaughter: Suffering Without End, compressed billions of years of pain into a single moment and struck Reinhardt, making him feel as if he had fallen into an inescapable hell and was suffering a fate worse than death for an instant.

but---

"Hmph hmph hmph, haha ​​...

Under the astonished gazes of the three knights, Reinhardt, feeling the unparalleled pain, couldn't help but burst into laughter after initially screaming uncontrollably and managing to endure it.

It was as if experiencing this terrifying and horrifying pain brought him immense pleasure.

And it's addictive, it can make him lose control to the point of being uncontrollable. Reinhardt gently stroked his chest, his face full of a bright, morbid smile like that of an addict, and sighed:

"This excitement...it's such a wonderful feeling."

"Actually..."

Seeing this, Fujii Ren frowned deeply; she hadn't held back at all in that move just now.

The user understands far more clearly how brutal and powerful the complete Path of Incessant Killing is than someone who is merely experiencing it.

After all, to practice the Path of Incessant Killing, one must first experience pain as if it were self-harm.

The source is Skadi's understanding of the world, and then combined with Nanami's past experience of living a life worse than death, the highest quality pain inherited by Fujii Ren over millions of years can make people feel as miserable as falling into the deepest hell in an instant.

People will subconsciously seek relief, and mental breakdown, soul disintegration, physical death, brain death, etc., can all occur under such extreme and terrible pain.

Reinhardt, who was facing this attack for the first time, had not yet formed a relic weapon, and actually endured it solely through his willpower.

And after realizing what had happened, he actually enjoyed it, watching Fujii Ren with amusement.

In the brief exchange, it seemed that Reinhardt had suffered a loss, but Sakurai Hotaru and Yuza Shirou could tell from Fujii Ren's expression that she had not gained any significant advantage, and the enemy had not fallen behind either.

Is it a fairly large gap, or an even larger gap?

In this situation, if someone on your side dies, the Eighth Altar of the Altar will be activated.

Reinhardt will then reign supreme with an even greater advantage than he has now, and then crush them.

"Shirou, Sakurai, please help me create an opening..."

Fujii Ren conveyed a thought to Shirou and Sakurai Hotaru behind her. It has to be said that even though she gained power from Nanami, she still needed time to digest it, and before that, she was still far from Reinhard.

Therefore, she needs her teammates to buy her time and help her create openings in Reinhardt's defenses.

The Three Knights are currently not acting because of Reinhardt's orders. Even if we know this is just the other party's arrogance or overconfidence, this is a good opportunity.

Yuza Shirou and Sakurai Hotaru exchanged a glance. Seeing that the three knights around them hadn't made a move, they knew what role they should play.

Although it sounds somewhat disheartening, Reinhardt is indeed beyond the capabilities of any single individual. At this moment, only Fujii Ren can effectively harm this guy.

"boom----!!!"

Two beams of spiritual energy burst forth from Sakurai Hotaru and Yuza Shirou, then shot straight into the sky and disappeared into the cosmos.

"[Venom]"

"【MansolltenachdenGesetzenderGotterleben (Your divine mandate is given by divine divination)】"

Crystal-clear wings of light unfurled from behind Yuzashi Wolf, and countless wolf-head chains burst forth from his body. Sakurai Hotaru was engulfed in flames, directly entering the [Creation] rank.

Yuza Shirou smiled and fired several black beams of light at Reinhardt. Meanwhile, in the trajectory of the beams, Sakurai Hotaru thrust her sword at Reinhardt.

"interesting......"

He spoke words of interest, but his face wore a flat smile, and his eyes showed none of the enthusiasm he had shown for Fujii Ren. Reinhardt's mind stirred as the two attacked.

Karaaraara————

Amidst a chilling and rapid series of cracking sounds, countless skeletal hands of the undead emerged before Reinhardt, wielding guns with sabers and lunging at the enemy.

The black beam of light collided with the golden undead army first. The black beam of light did not have much terrifying power, and it was not as terrifying as the demon army summoned by Reinhardt.

But ironically, the moment the beam of light made contact with the undead, the undead were like paper pierced by a water arrow.

Pfft—
