In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

"Little Red Riding Hood, the Big Bad Wolf, the dwarfs, Cinderella, and... a whole bunch of others I don't recognize." Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the phantoms on the street, trying to identify who they were, but after a long time she could only recognize a few fairy tale characters.

Mash and Mordred couldn't help but chuckle, while Lawrence was still a bit out of sorts.

"Teacher, are you alright?" Manrio ran beside Lawrence, looking at her with concern.

Even though he rested all night, he's still in such a bad state? And according to the Master, Lawrence also slept all night before heading to the Singularity, but now...

...Could it be that she's just overthinking things again, just like I said?

“I’m fine, Manrio. Be prepared for battle once we reach the blank spot.” Lawrence nodded, but couldn’t hide the weariness in his eyes.

"Okay, I understand," Manrio could only nod and say helplessly.

The group moved quickly and soon approached the target blank spot.

“If we head straight west from here, in the Croydon region, there is another blank spot,” Fujimaru Ritsuka said cautiously. “We cannot rule out the possibility that there is a connection between blank spots. If a battle breaks out, while focusing on the battle, we must also be wary of the presence of other enemies.”

“It’s just ahead. Stop and approach cautiously.” Mordred slowed down. “G... Mash, please.”

"Okay, leave it to me."

Mash stood in front, advancing towards the empty spot, while Mordred stood behind. Lawrence and Manrio protected Fujimaru Ritsuka on the left and right, respectively. The entire formation moved steadily.

Meanwhile...

This is pretty awesome.

"Charge with me—!!!" Sakata Kintoki charged ahead, full of madness, "Only by charging forward can we be called Golend!"

"Kintoki, slow down—slow down—" Henry Jekyll was being pulled in Sakata Kintoki's hand, and his whole body was shaking so badly that he felt like he was going to fall apart.

Camila and Simonetta both have high speed parameters and can keep up with Sakata Kintoki's speed.

Camilla felt so tired.

This kind of hot-blooded idiot is the worst thing for me. How could I have forgotten to tell my Master about this?

Now all we can do is keep following him and charging forward; there's no other way.

They are much faster than Fujimaru Ritsuka's side and have already rushed into the empty spot.

“It’s not a residential area, but… a park?” Sakata Kintoki put Henry Jekyll down on the ground next to him and patted him on the back. “Alright, cheer up, Jekyll, you’re not being Gold at all.”

"Ugh... I feel so dizzy..." Jekyll swayed unsteadily.

"Why does this fog feel so thick? It's even thicker than the places we went before," Sakata Kintoki said, looking at the thick fog around him through his sunglasses.

“I looked around and didn’t notice anything.” Camilla appeared next to Sakata Kintoki through the crimson light.

"Oh...oh, um, could you please not suddenly appear next to someone? It's kind of scary." Sakata Kintoki was startled and patted his chest.

Camilla rolled her eyes, not wanting to talk to him.

“Let’s keep going and see what we can find. This blank spot is quite large, about 500 meters in diameter. This area is enough to hide a lot of things in the thick fog.” Henry Jekyll, who had finally recovered a bit, pushed up his glasses.

The group walked forward, while Luo Song, who was at a lower position, seemed to sense something.

"Hmm? The gem tower barrier I set up on the ground... has been triggered?" Several female phantom spirits were present in front of him.

谷覠

That was the being he "carefully selected" from the phantoms of Andersen and Shakespeare.

He wanted to use these women, who shared similar traits with his mother, to superimpose the presence of his mother.

The main part consists of his few remaining memories.

"What's happened again? Or is it time to carry out your obviously flawed experiment?" Shakespeare became talkative again.

“Why not? The entire ferry is my testing ground. As long as I have enough material... I will succeed sooner or later!” Rosson glanced at Shakespeare. “Now, something has touched my gem tower, and I need you.”

Shakespeare and Andersen exchanged a glance through the magic mirror and sighed together.

Magic connects us, mirrors... let them reflect the scenes in our hearts.

"Hmm?" Sakata Kintoki stopped in his tracks.

A mirror appeared.

A dozen or so jeweled magic mirrors blocked their way.

"It seems there really is something here."

boom--

A strangely shaped giant axe appeared in Sakata Kintoki's hand, and Camilla and Simonetta became alert, leaving the flustered Henry Jekyll at a loss.

He felt a sense of fear and apprehension.

In the magic mirror, shadows have already appeared. These are mass-produced phantoms that have gained form and the ability to move, based on magic and the landscapes in the minds of Shakespeare and Hans Christian Andersen.

King Lear, Hamlet, Othello, Macbeth, the Big Bad Wolf, the Black Queen, and even a giant toad.

"Tch, time to get ready for battle." Sakata Kintoki charged forward.

Camilla and Simonetta followed closely behind, while only Henry Jekyll hesitated.

He is capable of fighting; he knows it himself.

but......

My legs were trembling; I didn't dare, I didn't dare go forward.

This morning I asked to go out and fight, to do my part for the city I've lived in since I was a child, but now... now...

His mouth was half-open as he swallowed, a dagger in his hand, but his foot involuntarily took a step back.

"Ughhhh—seriously, this is so annoying! Should we fight or not?" A furious voice echoed in his mind. "I've had enough! Are you really from the same source as me? Useless trash?"

"Sigh...sigh?" Henry looked down at his chest.

"Stop talking nonsense! If you want to save this city, release me! Listen to me, you won't go wrong!" The businessman said to Henry Jekyll with a fit of rage and anger. "You want to contribute something? You won't get anything done standing here!"

"I...I..." Suddenly, a bottle appeared in Jekyll's hand.

He looked at the bottle, his arm trembling slightly.

For some reason, he knew that this was the "Noble Phantasm" he possessed as a "Servant".

"A hidden... Dangerous Game?"

Suddenly, with a strength he didn't know he had, he forcefully pulled off the cork and drank the entire bottle of liquid.

Chapter 712 Simultaneous Battle on Three Sides

Sakata Kintoki cleaved a giant toad in two with a single axe blow, but his body involuntarily took a step back. He curled his lip and said, "Tch, these guys are endless... Didn't Manrio say there were no phantoms here?"

"Are you brainless?" Camilla swung her scepter in battle, glancing at him impatiently. "These phantoms clearly sensed our approach, which is why they appeared from the mirror. Manrio probably didn't detect them before because he wasn't close enough."

"Oh, right!" Sakata Kintoki killed a humanoid phantom during his somersault, figuring out the logic behind it. "But no matter what, this number is terrifying!? I've never encountered such a large group before!"

With only the fighting power of Sakata Kintoki, Camilla, and Simonetta, although they could clear out the phantoms quickly, the phantoms were increasing in number even faster!

Just as Camilla and Kintoki were starting to feel the strain, another male voice appeared.

"Die! Die! Die!"

With an uncontrollable frenzy and exhilaration, the man charged into the horde of phantoms. Although he only carried a small dagger, his fighting style was incredibly skillful. Within seconds, he directly killed one of the phantoms with a few slashes.

"Boss Jekyll!?" Sakata Kintoki exclaimed, but his axe-wielding motion didn't stop, forcing back several phantoms.

"Who are you calling Jekyll? Huh!?" The "Jekyll" with the new hairstyle yelled arrogantly, weaving and twisting among the phantoms in bizarre postures. "That nice guy is gone, gone forever~"

"And here I am—"

Zheng—

The man craned his neck and laughed.

"It's Hyde!"

Another phantom spirit was cut in two by his blade.

......

As Fujimaru Ritsuka felt her magical energy draining away, she involuntarily looked in Bajin's direction.

"What's wrong? Did something happen, Master?" Manrio noticed Fujimaru Ritsuka's actions and asked.

“A battle has broken out on Bajin’s side.” Fujimaru Ritsuka frowned slightly. “Miss Camilla and Miss Simonetta have already started to deplete their magic power.”

“Is that so? It seems we need to speed things up.” Mordred drew his knight’s sword and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Ritsuka nodded: "Mash, let's speed up our journey."

"Yes, Master!"

quickened their pace, and this side also entered the silent, thick fog.

But we had just entered the thick fog...

"Master, be careful!" Lawrence turned his head and conjured a gem-encrusted blade, which he then threw in one direction.

Ping Pong —

Something suddenly shot out from the shadows, shattering the gem-like blade and continuing its trajectory toward Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"Hey!"

Mashu stood in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka, blocking the arrow.

“They’re arrows.” Fujimaru Ritsuka warily surveyed her surroundings. “There are Servants lying in ambush here.”

call out--

Bang!

Mashu quickly turned around and defended against another arrow.

"You scoundrel, come out here!"

boom--!!!

Mordred unleashed his power.
