Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

Sub-Servant?

Hinako Akuta turned to look at Mash beside her and suddenly realized what was going on.

Because of her previous collaboration with Marisbury, she had some access to the Chaldea database and had a rough understanding of some of its projects.

This includes the establishment of the Heroic Spirit Summoning System and the process of summoning Heroic Spirits.

In 2005, the first experiment to summon a Guardian Spirit was conducted by Maris Billy himself, but there was no Spirit Origin reaction on site, and it was deemed a failure.

In 2014, the second Guardian Heroic Spirit Summoning was successful, but it refused to reveal its Spirit Origin. The Guardian Heroic Spirit Summoning System: Destiny was thus completed.

In 2017, former director Marisbury resigned, and Olga Marie took office as the new director. The third Guardian Spirit was successfully summoned, but refused to form a master-servant contract, remaining as a lone Servant…

Clearly, if we are not mistaken, the heroic spirit that this child is possessing is probably "Number Two," which is why he possesses superhuman strength despite his frail body.

"What about your end? Any discoveries?"

The question in her ear woke Hinako from her reverie.

Old Jie came to his senses and shook his head slightly.

"There were no signs of fighting or struggle, and even the fruit platter on the table was still fresh. The only thing that can be confirmed is that they seemed to have disappeared without resistance. In short, it's very strange, and I can't figure out these questions."

"If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it. Let them tell us themselves."

Hinako Akuta scoffed irritably, "Them? Where are we going to find them? There isn't a single talking ghost in the entire Chaldea."

Samael stretched his limbs, smiled, and pointed to a spot in the hallway outside the door.

"Look, it can talk, and here it is!"

Hinako Akuta and Mashu looked ahead in surprise and suddenly saw a human-shaped figure that had appeared in the corner of the corridor.

She was a slender girl, nearly 1.9 meters tall. Her waist-length purple hair was loosely tied with a large bow of the same color, and beneath her symmetrical bangs was a delicate, doll-like face and blue eyes that exuded madness.

However, the sickly yet adorable girl, who should have aroused men's protective instincts, had feet that gleamed with a dangerous, cold light, like sharp blades.

"Tsk, BB, all he knows is how to boss people around."

At this moment, the mysterious figure, whose origin and appearance were unknown, was squatting on the ground, muttering to herself as she stroked the surrounding walls and floor, a ball of black light mist being clenched in her palm.

That appears to be the area where the two mechanical hounds dissolved earlier.

Hearing the whispers, the girl in the corridor turned slightly, raising an eyebrow at the half-open infirmary.

"You guys made this? Not bad at all..."

"Senior, be careful!"

Just as Samael was about to step forward to negotiate, Mashu recognized the newcomer and her expression immediately changed. She raised her cross shield and stepped forward, nervously pulling Samael back and protecting him behind her, her voice lowering as she did so.

"This woman is dangerous..."

Seeing Mashu's strong reaction, Samael's eyes flashed, and he immediately understood the reason.

"Is she the one who injured you before?"

Mashu nodded slightly, gripping her shield even tighter, looking as if she were facing a formidable enemy.

"Oh, it's you, the little mouse that escaped from my hands before."

The girl tapped her head, seemingly remembering Mashu's identity, and made a mocking remark.

"What, now you dare to crawl out of your rat hole? Who gave you the courage? Them?"

His deep blue eyes swept over the two people behind Mashu, and the corners of his lips curled up in a provocative and sadistic malice.

"I really want to punch a hole in them...!"

"Don't think about it!"

Upon hearing this, Mashu seemed to have been provoked. She immediately charged out of the infirmary with her cross shield, like an angry little lion, and swung it at the purple-haired girl crouching in the corner.

"boom!"

With a dull thud, the hard floor and the poured concrete were smashed into a crater several meters deep, with stones and gravel flying everywhere.

However, the nimble and slender girl had already glided backward, her body spotless.

"Don't even think about running away!"

With a roar, Mash burst out of the pit, brandishing her cross-shaped shield and smashing it repeatedly at her target.

The purple-haired girl glided along, her body sometimes close and sometimes back, moving lightly through the narrow passage blocked by the giant shield, always maintaining a safe distance, like a figure skating queen dancing alone on ice.

Meanwhile, the girl who had the upper hand patted her chest, pretending to be timid, which made her mockery even more pronounced.

"Oh dear, how scary, how scary."

"Shut up!"

Mashu, who was not good with words, blushed and the veins on her forehead throbbed. Despite the mockery, she swung the giant shield in her hand even more vigorously.

However, the more impatient you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.

The increased range of motion immediately exposed Mashu's unprotected abdomen.

The purple-haired girl bent down and stepped forward quickly, raising her legs, which extended into sharp blades, high into the air, and with lightning speed, she pierced towards Mash's abdomen.

Just as she was about to succeed, a contemptuous smile appeared on the girl's delicate face.

"Humans really don't learn their lesson."

But just as she was about to succeed, the cross shield suddenly accelerated and crashed into her arms in a flash.

The purple-haired girl instinctively tried to create some distance, but found that she had lost all room to move because they were too close.

"boom!"

Instantly, the hard shield slammed solidly into the purple-haired girl's body. Her light and slender body flew backward like a butterfly with broken wings, crashing heavily into the wall.

Having landed a successful blow, Mash rushed forward without hesitation, ready to deliver the final blow.

However, two swirling torrents erupted from the furrows plowed beneath the purple-haired girl's feet, the powerful force sending Mash and her shield flying dozens of meters away.

"Little mouse, you have indeed grown a lot, but you are still far from being able to beat me!"

The purple-haired girl stood upright against the wall, looking smugly and arrogantly at her opponent, who looked even more disheveled.

Like a god looking down on the dust from the clouds.

At this moment, Hinako Akuta's expression changed slightly as she sensed a certain aura emanating from the purple-haired girl.

Divinity!

And they are three completely different types!

Samael raised an eyebrow. He not only knew that the purple-haired girl opposite him possessed divinity, but he also knew the origins of the three types of divinity.

The first goddess was Artemis, the Greek goddess of purity. She was linked to the ebb and flow of the tides, or the movement of the moon; those who received her magic would inevitably be pierced by her arrows, bringing disease and death.

The second deity is Leviathan, appearing in the Old Testament, or the serpent-cross staff of Lotan from Ugarit mythology. It shares the same origin as the staff of Moses that parted the Red Sea, and also symbolizes the sea itself, which was parted by this staff. It grants the wielder a water-like adaptability, capable of changing in any situation. It is even believed to allow one to freely change posture, even into the posture of someone they envy.

The third deity is Saraswati, the river goddess of India. She possesses the ability to manipulate natural phenomena, especially "flowing things" such as water and wind, music and speech, debate, and poetry. The timbre emanating from her can evoke any emotion in the listener, and she can even interfere with the electronic flow of things like computer networks.

As for herself, she is not a "person" in the true sense, but one of the advanced AI avatars of Chaldea planned to manage and operate the institution—Melte Lilith.

Also known as "Happy" Alterego, Dissolving Lilith.

"Warm-up complete, now the real game begins, everyone..."

At that moment, Lilith snapped her fingers playfully, and the entire corridor was covered and rewritten by countless surging data streams, transforming into a maze-like passageway constructed of pink and black.

The infirmary, preserved as it is, serves as the starting point of the game, with its open doors leading to different challenging levels.

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Be good, let your sister check your body.

Gazing at the cherry blossom-colored labyrinth that covered the entire Chaldea, Samael's expression underwent a subtle change.

Omnic Crisis?

Could it be that the group of high-level AIs originally planned to manage Chaldea have collectively betrayed them?

This is really a tricky situation.

The true financial backer of Chaldea, who wanted to protect his private property, was having a bit of a headache.

"Let's dance one last dance, everyone!"

At this moment, Lilith, having completed the data overwriting with a wave of her hand, lifted the hem of her skirt, bowed slightly, and made an elegant ladylike gesture. Then, she slid her blade-like legs and, with lightning speed, headed straight for the two people standing in front of the infirmary door.

"Senior, be careful!"

Mashu was shocked by what she saw. Without thinking, she immediately grabbed her cross shield and charged at Lilith's back, which was dissolving.

Samael, standing in front of the door, caught sight of the mocking smile on Lilith's lips and immediately shouted a warning.

"Mash, don't come any closer!"

However, it was too late.

As Samael spoke, Lilith's body tilted to the side, her feet tracing a graceful arc as she performed a beautiful leap and turn in figure skating style. Her legs, like ice skates, swept mercilessly toward Mash, who was right in front of her.

"Bang! Bang!"

Caught off guard, Mashu could only take the two powerful blows head-on. Her body flew backward like a cannonball until it crashed heavily into the metal wall of the corridor. The cross shield in her hand also fell to the ground with a clatter due to the pain.

I can't sleep, my senior still needs my protection...

In her hazy state of consciousness, Mashu bit her tongue, pulled her limbs out of the deep dent in the metal wall, and reached for the weapon she could rely on on the ground.

However, a foot with an extended blade had already drawn a graceful arc, kicking the cross shield into a corner that Mash couldn't reach.

As the saying goes, one wrong step leads to another.

Mash, lacking combat experience and strength, was led by the nose by the clearly superior Lilith, completely losing the initiative in the battle.

Silly girl, can't you see through such a simple trick to lure the enemy?

and……

Samael looked back at the infirmary behind him, which remained unchanged throughout the entire data world, and rubbed his temples helplessly.

If I'm not mistaken, the infirmary is essentially the safe house in this game, and these advanced AIs probably won't be able to get in so easily.

They are not in any danger at all.

"Honestly, wouldn't it be better to just lie down and have a sweet dream?"

Lilith, who had won a resounding victory, dusted off non-existent dust and snorted in dissatisfaction.

"You're forcing a lady to resort to violence."

Lady...

The three of them looked around at the uneven concrete floor and metal walls, and for a moment they didn't know how to complain.

Lilith languidly stretched her waist, a smile playing on her lips, and while muttering to herself, she glided forward at incredible speed.

"Alright, the lullaby is over, it's nap time now!"

Her slender thighs, raised high, revealed a cold, sharp edge.

Hinako, who had been watching from the sidelines, could no longer contain herself. But just as she was about to rush out the door, two sharp whooshing sounds pierced the air before she could reach the gleaming leg blade.

The impact precisely disrupted Lilith's balance as she moved at high speed, causing her to stumble and fall.

Fortunately, just as she was about to land awkwardly, a stream of clear water gushed out from the crack in the ground, absorbing the remaining force and helping her stand up again.

Dissolving, Lilith glanced at the two scorched marks on the leg blade, her eyes showing not anger but joy. She then looked up at the man standing in front of Mash, a pleased smile curving her lips.

Finally, he's willing to come out!

In an instant, Lilith, with a dangerous smile on her face, glided forward again, the blue water surging beneath her feet as if she were walking on the sea. Using the undulating waves as a speedboat, she rushed towards Samael and Mash at several times the speed of before.

Mashu gritted her teeth, struggled to her feet, and wanted to keep her promise.

However, with the numbness of her wounds and the reverse flow of her blood and qi like a tidal wave, Mash's reactions were simply no match for the speed of the enemy's attack.

The first divine power that Lilith possesses, the moon goddess Artemis, is linked to the ebb and flow of the tides, that is, the movement of the moon. Once subjected to her magic, it will inevitably pierce through the person it targets, bringing disease and death.

In other words, it is naturally able to counter shield-type defenses, and even its attacks come with a poison that weakens the opponent.

The girl who was supposed to be a shield is now powerless to fight.

But a figure moved, completely shielding Mash behind him, becoming a new shield.
