The Knight of the Second Generation of Demons Re-enacts

But that was half a month ago. Fujimaru Ritsuka was not really idle after returning to Tenkuji. Miyamoto Musashi never missed a day of training for her, so her combat skills and combat awareness are now completely different from what they were back then.

She squatted down slightly to lower her center of gravity, raised her elbow to hit Angelica's fist from the side. Although it was very reluctant, she still managed to block Angelica's attack.

Angelica raised her eyebrows, and was slightly surprised that the opponent actually took her punch head-on. However, she kicked towards Fujimaru Ritsuka's chest and abdomen with her right foot without hesitation.

But who knew that Fujimaru Ritsuka had anticipated this. He slightly turned sideways to avoid the kick, then used his waist to rotate his torso and used his right arm to swing a pendulum at Angelica.

The airflow created by the fist was like a gust of wind, forcing Angelica to give up her fierce attack. She withdrew her move to defend herself, but was pushed back half a step by Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"He actually fought off that Angelica!"

Knowing that staying where she was would likely affect Fujimaru Ritsuka's performance, Emiya Miyu who had retreated early exclaimed.

Even in Emiya Miyu's already vague memory, Angelica still left a strong impression on her.

She was the youngest army captain in the history of the Eye Demon World. Even Emiya Miyu, who didn't pay much attention to battles, had heard of her bravery.

But just as she was surprised, a gentle voice sounded beside her.

"Spirit Knight is indeed a powerful enemy. He was able to defeat Angelica like this. It seems that her last victory was not a short-lived accident."

Emiya Miyu looked in the direction of the sound and discovered that Toosaka Sakura had appeared not far from her without her noticing. She was holding a piece of untouched takoyaki in her hand and squinting at the two people who were fighting in close combat.

"you are?"

Looking at the somewhat familiar figure, Emiya Miyu said the other person's name with some uncertainty.

"Ms. Sakura."

"Well, it's been a while, Miyu."

When the other party called her name, Toosaka Sakura withdrew her gaze from the battle and turned to look at Emiya Miyu, a rare gentle smile on her face, and she even kindly handed the takoyaki that she knew was extremely sacred to the other party.

"Since Senior took you away, this is the first time we meet again, right?"

"Ms. Sakura, why are you here?"

Facing Tousaka Sakura's smile, Emiya Miyu instinctively felt that she would not hurt herself, but because her brother was now helping Chaldea, she still took a step back with caution.

But this stepping back made the gentle smile on Sakura Toosaka's face suddenly disappear.

"Why are you scared, Miyu? We used to be good friends. As expected... is it because of the spirit rider? Just like how the senior suddenly changed his stance."

Her gaze turned to Fujimaru Ritsuka, who also noticed her gaze at this time and turned back to look over here.

"Miyu!?"

He was surprised that Toosaka Sakura had sneaked around behind him and even stood next to Emiya Miyu.

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to turn around to defend, but Angelica seized the opportunity and kicked him to the ground with a sweeping kick.

"Hey, your opponent is me!"

"I don't have time for you right now!"

Ritsuka Fujimaru hurriedly rolled over to avoid Angelica's pursuit, and activated three eye souls while rolling.

The red swordsman attached to the spirit rider's body and swung his sword to sweep away Angelica's whip kick. The green archer and brown gunner appeared in the form of hoodie ghosts and launched a long-range attack in the direction of Toosaka Sakura.

However, he was stopped halfway by Red A, who had been paying close attention to the battle, using two daggers, one black and one white.

"whispering sound!"

Seeing that the surprise attack of the two Eye Soul Heroic Spirits failed to work, Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted to continue releasing other Heroic Spirits for assistance, but suddenly he found a green light flashing in front of him unexpectedly.

Angelica's fist hit Fujimaru Ritsuka's chest hard, interrupting her next move.

Fujimaru Ritsuka groaned in pain and tried to swing his sword to force the opponent back again, but the opponent grabbed his wrist first and threw him to the ground over his shoulder.

"You made a mistake in your judgment to use two swords in a close combat, Spirit Rider! And I told you, your opponent is me!"

Because of this mistake, the two people who were originally evenly matched were completely caught in a weakness by one of them. Angelica's fists hit Fujimaru Ritsuka like a storm, making the latter retreat repeatedly.

If Billy the Kid hadn't seen this and fired continuously to stop Angelica's actions, Fujimaru Ritsuka would probably have been defeated by the previous series of attacks.

After finally putting some distance between them, Fujimaru Ritsuka realized that if he wanted to go back to protect Miyu, a quick victory had become his only option.

Her body moved faster than her mind. She took out the Eye Soul from her waist, which had defeated Angelica once. It was the power of the Lion King.

Seeing this, Angelica's face, which had already turned into something inhuman, also revealed a smile full of fighting spirit.

"Are you finally ready to use this power? Come on, I'll defeat her this time!"

As Angelica's thoughts progressed, a huge amount of magic power suddenly began to gather in the sky above Fuyuki City, gradually forming the Gundali Summoning Array that had appeared in the Egyptian singularity.

As the captain of the 2nd Battalion of the Eye Demon Legion, she possessed excellent combat qualities and had already prepared a countermeasure for the Lion King Soul after the first failure.

But just when the two were ready to fight it out, the voice of Red A suddenly came into Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind.

"Any powerful force does not come without a price, Spirit Knight. Do you really understand what price you are paying?"

"what?"

The hand that was about to put the Lion King Soul into the drive suddenly stopped. Ritsuka Fujimaru subconsciously looked in the direction where the voice came from. There, the white-haired man she met for the first time was staring at her coldly.

Through those eagle-like sharp eyes, for a moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka could clearly feel the strong emotions contained therein.

Resentment! Reluctance! Anger! Regret!

This strong emotion was transmitted to Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind through some unknown connection, causing her thoughts to instinctively follow the words of Red A, and she remembered what Romani said to her the day after she returned from the Egyptian singularity.

"Fujimaru-kun, we have already solved the side effects of the Lion King Soul. You don't need to pay your time as a price when you use it again in the future."

——Yeah, it should be solved. Although Dr. Roman is unreliable, he can’t lie to me about this kind of thing. My time has not been significantly reduced...

Fujimaru Ritsuka comforted himself in this way, but the hand holding the Eye Soul was unable to let go of the Lion King Soul.

She looked into Red A's eyes again, but could not see any trace of the lies she wanted to see in them.

And deep in her soul, there was a voice shouting, telling her that what this guy she had never met said was true.

I am indeed paying a price!

This made Fujimaru Ritsuka feel fear from the bottom of his heart, even more than the second time he used the Lion King Soul.

In her opinion, the unknown cost is far more terrifying than the known time. At least the latter can allow her to clearly measure the value of this cost and make corresponding awareness, but the unknown prevents her from doing this.

——What will it be?

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka fell into hesitation, but Angelica would not.

Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka was slow to show the gesture she expected, Angelica uninterestedly cancelled the summoning circle in the sky and instead gathered her magic power to perform a flying kick.

The kick hit Fujimaru Ritsuka right in the open, causing her to lose her transformation and roll on the ground several times before stopping.

"Sister Ritsuka!"

Seeing this, Miyu immediately wanted to go over to check the situation, but Toosaka Sakura grabbed her shoulder and knocked her unconscious in a burst of green energy.

Holding the unconscious Emiya Miyu in her arms, Toosaka Sakura dropped the takoyaki in her hand with an expressionless face and looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka who tried to struggle to get up but failed.

"Go back and tell Emiya Shirou, Spirit Knight. If you want Miyu back, come find me. We'll be staying here for a while."

After saying this, Toosaka Sakura turned and walked towards the Fuyuki Bridge in the distance.

After taking a deep look at Ritsuka Fujimaru lying on the ground, Red A also silently chose to follow.

"and many more!"

Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was lying on the ground, covered her chest in pain and subconsciously reached out to grab something, but was kicked on the chin by Angelica, who had released her transformation, and her consciousness was almost kicked out.

Looking at Fujimaru Ritsuka who was kicked on his back by her, Angelica Discipline Inspection Commission made an unhappy sound.

"That archer guy actually did unnecessary things for me."

Her plump chest rose and fell with her intense emotions, but in the end, her soldier's nature of obeying orders suppressed her anger, and she turned around and followed Toosaka Sakura.

"Please convey Miss Ying's words well. This is the only chance you have of good luck, Spirit Rider."]

Emergency Food: This guy was clearly no match for the Lion King Soul last time, and this time he failed to defeat the Lion King Soul because of the interference from that red guy. Why is he so awesome?

Ornamental Fish: She must have a backup plan. When Miss Fujimaru was about to use the Lion King Soul, she did intend to activate some magic circle.

Super high school level player: I always feel that the red archer seems to be very disgusted with the Lion King Soul?

[ ]: Indeed, although it was this guy who caused Fujimaru Ritsuka to lose the fight, if we look at it from another angle, isn’t the other party trying to prevent Fujimaru Ritsuka from fighting to save his life?

Paramecium: Huh? So you can see it that way?

Purple-haired female passerby: I feel like this archer is becoming more and more mysterious.

671: Houdini Soul (4k)

[Amid Mashu's anxious calls, Fujimaru Ritsuka opened his eyes from his coma.

"What am I?"

His chaotic consciousness gradually became clear, and the news of his defeat in the battle with Angelica reappeared in his mind. Despite his still aching body, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly sat up from the soft bed, only to find that he had returned to the Sky Temple without knowing when.

In addition to Mashu, there was also Shirou Emiya, who was leaning against the door and looked a little dusty.

Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka had completely regained consciousness, Mash immediately explained the situation to him.

It turned out that she was picked up directly on the roadside by Shirou Emiya who was on his way back. After realizing that something was wrong, he immediately took her back to Sky Temple.

Combined with the previous fleeting abnormal fluctuation of magical power, everyone noticed that something was wrong.

They began to search for the situation at the singularity, but strangely found nothing. The possible enemies seemed to be very familiar with the search mechanism of Sky Temple and Chaldea and bypassed Da Vinci's detection.

To make matters worse, after returning, Shirou Emiya found that there was no trace of Emiya Miyu anywhere.

There was no other way, they could only wait here for Ritsuka Fujimaru, the only person who might know the situation, to wake up.

Now that Fujimaru Ritsuka has woken up, Emiya Shirou originally wanted to anxiously ask her about Miyu's whereabouts, but after seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka's somewhat distraught expression, his heart softened, he suppressed his impatience, and asked in a soft voice what had happened.

After a brief moment of daze, Fujimaru Ritsuka realized the priorities of the matter. He shook his head, temporarily putting aside his complicated thoughts, and turned to talk about what he had encountered.

However, contrary to her expectations, after hearing what happened, Emiya Shirou, who always behaved like an extreme Miyu fan, did not get angry about not being able to protect Emiya Miyu. He just nodded heavily with a thoughtful expression.

"Shirou-san, aren't you angry?"

Ritsuka Fujimaru himself felt quite guilty about this matter. He had a chance to win, but he was distracted by the enemy's few words and did not use his full strength.

To be honest, she was now a little ashamed to look into Shirou Emiya's eyes. After all, when she had recruited the two siblings to join the group, she had always said that she wanted to help them.
