Type-Moon, isn't this really the other world?

Seeing that Tamamo-no-Mae was no longer able to answer her questions, Helena felt both grief and guilt. She reached out to support Tamamo-no-Mae and helped her lie down on the seat in the carriage.

As the carriage curtain was drawn, the carriage slowly began to drive out of the castle.

As the carriage drove away from the castle, and after a soundproofing array was set up inside, Helena could no longer resist and reached out to hug Tamamo-no-Mae.

"Tamamo, are you alright?"

"Ugh." Tamamo-no-Mae whimpered and opened her eyes groggily. Even when she saw Helena holding her, Tamamo-no-Mae, realizing that everything had been exposed, had no time to feel ashamed.

Instead, a sense of loss rose in my heart.

Has he already left?

"No, it's okay."

"That bastard!"

Seeing Tamamo-no-Mae's exhausted appearance, Helena immediately understood what that bastard had done to her last night. Especially considering the smell that filled the carriage, Helena even suspected that Lin Jiu'an hadn't let Tamamo-no-Mae go until the very last second before the maids took her away!

"I'm sorry, Tamamo, it's all my fault!"

Tamamo-no-Mae shook her head.

He opened his mouth as if to speak, but in the end he closed it again.

She ate way too much last night, and her stomach was full of undigested food. Tamamo-no-Mae was worried that if she said a few words, she might accidentally vomit it all up.

After a moment of silence, Helena quietly took off Tamamo-no-Mae's clothes, wiping her snow-covered body without minding the dirt, and asked, "Did he agree?"

Tamamo-no-Mae suppressed the urge to foam at the mouth and managed to utter a sound: "Mmm."

"That's good."

Helena gave a wry smile, then grabbed Tamamo-no-Mae's hand.

Gritting her teeth, she said, "Don't worry, Tamamo, your sacrifice won't be in vain. We will definitely make that demon pay the price!"

······

"Jiu'an, are we really going to confront Cú Chulainn?"

Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window of the bedroom on the upper floor.

Watching the carriage drive away from the castle, Minamoto no Yorimitsu frowned slightly and couldn't help but say, "Wasn't that a bit too risky?"

"That's just Cú Chulainn and Arjuna."

"I'm not worried about the Celtics."

The Celtics' top combat power is, at best, only Cú Chulainn and Arjuna.

Lin Jiu'an deals with Cú Chulainn.

Rama and Sita confront Arjuna.

The rest were easy for her, Huyan Zhuo, and Nagao Kagetora to deal with, while the miscellaneous soldiers were left to Hyakko Hassan, who didn't even consider them a threat.

But their enemies were not only the Celts.

Edison's side and Fujimaru Ritsuka's side are not to be underestimated either. Karna alone, as well as the three Servants that Fujimaru Ritsuka summoned before, and whether she and Tamamo-no-Mae will summon other Servants at the same time later, these threats are not small.

Who knows if Fujimaru Ritsuka might suddenly summon a powerful being no less than Karna or Arjuna, and then suddenly appear and kill them all while he and Cú Chulainn are fighting to the death?

That's hard to say.

When it really comes down to it, even if Fujimaru Ritsuka summons Zeus and Odin, Lin Jiu'an won't be surprised.

"Don't worry, although I promised them I would go north to face Cú Chulainn, I never said I would confront him head-on."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu was taken aback, then asked curiously, "Kuan, you have a plan?"

"Ah."

Lin Jiu'an shifted his gaze from the carriage, which had almost become a black dot in the distance, reached out and wrapped his arm around Yuan Laixian's slender waist, pulling her into his embrace, and looked towards the northeast.

What do you think of Washington?

"Washington? That's not Celtic territory..."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu paused, then asked, "Kuan, what do you mean?"

"Since that mad dog wants Richmond, then let's give him this place."

Lin Jiu'an smiled and said, "I think Washington is quite nice, and it would be a good fit for our new home."

······

Richmond.

Lin Jiu'an's castle, on the city wall.

Several clones of Hassan with a hundred faces stood silently in the shadows of the city wall, tirelessly watching for anything that might endanger their master's safety.

Sudden.

The tranquil night shattered like a mirror, and a pink-haired girl wielding a shield suddenly leaped up from below the city wall, her shield slamming into the body of a Hundred-Faced Hassan.

at the same time.

A jet-black spear pierced the night, directly piercing the body of a hundred-faced Hassan.

Scáthach and Martha also appeared on the city wall, and with their cooperation, they almost instantly wiped out Hassan the Hundred-Faced Guard on the wall.

"Truly worthy of being called Miss Tamamo."

Mash, having picked up her shield again, looked at Tamamo-no-Mae, who had arrived last with Fujimaru Ritsuka, and sincerely praised her.

Although Bai Mao Hassan is not particularly strong individually.

However, as scouts, their ability to communicate with each other and split into multiple entities makes them very difficult to deal with. If they cannot be killed instantly, all the Hundred-Faced Hassans will know that they have invaded the castle.

However, with Tamamo-no-Mae's illusionary magic as cover, they were able to approach Hassan the Hundred-Faced One silently, making it much easier to deal with him.

"Let's finish this quickly. It will be troublesome if he manages to escape from the battlefield and return," said Fujimaru Ritsuka.

They split into two groups.

Helena, Karna, and Drake, along with the combat robots, helped Lin Jiu'an go to the front lines to fight the Celts. Of course, their main purpose was to monitor Lin Jiu'an and prevent him from using any underhanded tactics.

However, Lin Jiu'an has been fighting Cú Chulainn on the front lines these past few days.

As the battle on the front lines intensified, Fujimaru Ritsuka secretly led Artoria, Tamamo-no-Mae, and the others into the castle in an attempt to rescue Nero, Rama, and Sita.

"Martha, Artoria, Tamamo, go to the castle and find Rama and Sita."

"Master, Mash, let's go to the underground prison to rescue Nero!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka briefly explained the pre-arranged plan, and the group split into two groups to enter the castle.

Scáthach led the way, while Mash protected Fujimaru Ritsuka. The three of them ran towards the underground prison.

However, as she ran, Scáthach's eyebrows furrowed.

After killing Hassan, who had ambushed him in the darkness, with a single shot, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Something's wrong!"

"Master?"

"Apart from these clones of Hassan the Hundred Faces, are there any other Servants in this castle?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was taken aback upon hearing this, and then a sudden shock ran through her.

Only then did they realize that they had rushed into the castle and hadn't bothered to hide much in their pursuit of speed. But they hadn't even seen a single one of the maids that Tamamo-no-Mae and Helena had mentioned, let alone their old acquaintances Hu Yanzhuo and Nagao Kagetora!

There isn't a single living person in this castle besides Hassan the Hundred-Faced One?!

"An ambush?!"

Scáthach did not answer, but looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and waited for her reply.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind raced.

There are only two possibilities now.

Firstly, Lin Jiu'an had anticipated their actions and set up an ambush in advance. Of course, they had already planned that Lin Jiu'an would be prepared, and their current combat strength was sufficient to support Lin Jiu'an in forcibly breaking in to rescue people while he was distracted by Cú Chulainn.

Secondly, when Lin Jiu'an left, he took all the maids and women with him, leaving only Xiao Baimao Hassan to guard the castle, clearly a ruse, or perhaps the other party simply did not intend to defend the castle.

But no matter which possibility it is, they have no reason to back down now.

"Continue, Master."

Scáthach nodded slightly and continued to venture deeper into the castle's underground.

Seemingly realizing they were aware of the situation, Bai Mao Hassan no longer appeared to interrupt their further exploration.

Soon, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the other two arrived at the deepest part of the underground prison and saw the cage filled with dark, bloody flesh.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Maeve's End

Both Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu tensed up as they stared at the dark, writhing substance.

The feeling of being enveloped in love and hate back then resurfaced in my mind.

Scáthach raised her hand and swept it across the black mud. Instantly, a large chunk of the writhing, seemingly alive, pitch-black flesh was swept away, wailing as it receded like a tide, revealing Nero hidden beneath.

now.

This once arrogant Roman tyrant has lost his former domineering demeanor.

She was still standing with her mouth wide open, tears streaming down her face. Her beautiful eyes were filled with despair and regret. Her expression showed that she was still completely unaware of what was happening and was still trapped in despair, enveloped in black mud.

"Nero?!"

Seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka hurriedly took two steps forward and, disregarding the overflowing filthy magic emanating from her, picked her up.

His face was full of self-reproach.

After all, Nero had pulled Lin Jiu'an into the Noble Phantasm to cover her escape, so Nero had taken the blame for her. Now that she was in such a miserable state, she was partly responsible.

With Fujimaru Ritsuka's constant calls and the continuous effect of the recovery magic, Nero's beautiful eyes gradually regained some focus.

"I...vomit!"

Nero had barely managed to utter a single word when he couldn't help but vomit mouthfuls of fresh snow.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was holding Nero, was covered in vomit, but she didn't care. She just felt even more guilty and hugged Nero tighter, gently patting her back so that Nero could vomit out the undigested snow more easily.

"It's alright, it's alright, we've come to rescue you."

After vomiting for a long time, Nero finally vomited up all the snow that was in his stomach.

Exhausted, Nero nestled in Fujimaru Ritsuka's arms, catching her breath for a long time before finally saying, "Th-that demon..."

Before she could finish speaking, hurried footsteps sounded from outside. Nero immediately tensed up and hugged Fujimaru Ritsuka tightly. Not long after, Tamamo-no-Mae's flustered figure appeared in the darkness of the corridor.

"Ritsuka, something terrible has happened!"

"Lin Jiu'an has escaped!"

······

Washington.

This place, once a symbol of the United States, has now completely fallen into Celtic territory.

Even though Cú Chulainn had brought a large number of Celts to Richmond, the city was still teeming with Celtic soldiers, with wave after wave of soldiers leaving the presidential palace to head to the front lines in the south.

suddenly.

A crack suddenly appeared in the space above the White House.

Lin Jiu'an and Hu Yanzhuo, along with other women, emerged from the crack.

The Celtic soldiers were taken aback at first, but then they reacted and rushed towards them while shouting.

"Leave it to you."

As he spoke, Lin Jiu'an walked straight toward the entrance to the White House.

Before the soldiers could even get close, they were dealt with by Minamoto no Yorimitsu, Huyan Zhuo, and others.

Ordinary Celtic soldiers could not withstand even a single round against Minamoto no Yorimitsu and other women. Basically, each of their attacks would take the lives of a large number of Celtic soldiers. Even some Celtic warriors and heroic spirits with slightly stronger combat power could only barely hold out for a few rounds before turning into spiritual light particles and dissipating.

Lin Jiu'an strolled leisurely into the White House amidst the countless spiritual light particles.
