Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

And that's not even her share yet...

Damn it! All the suffering I've endured traveling alone all these years has been for nothing?!

Aozaki Aoko grew angrier the more she thought about it. Her anger rose from her heart, and she unleashed her right fist, which was enveloped in blue and red ether, with lightning speed and without any mercy.

Boom!

In an instant, a massive pressure of tens of thousands of tons struck, the barrier space collapsed, and starlight trembled and surged.

Samael's eyelids twitched, and he immediately used his side elbow to block the fierce punch. Sensing the astonishing power contained within it, his expression changed slightly.

"Wow, Aoko, are you serious?"

"What do you think? You womanizing bastard!"

Aozaki Aoko sneered as she approached, her legs sweeping away fallen leaves with lightning speed, each move targeting the snake's lower body.

Damn, does this have to be so vicious? This is bound to involve some personal grudge, isn't it?

Amidst the howling winds, Samael felt a chill run down his legs. He cursed under his breath in anger and grief, then shook off another of Aozaki Aoko's whip kicks before turning tail and running away.

Although he can regenerate, he doesn't want to experience the so-called "male nightmare" of testicular crushing.

However, the scene before us is not a one-on-one duel on the ring, but a righteous brawl fought out of a common enemy.

"Trying to run? You peeping tom, you damned liar, stay here!"

Unable to contain herself any longer, Akuta saw that slippery creature was about to unleash its full power again, so she decisively charged out diagonally, her fist wreathed in hatred. The crimson light that enveloped her fist ripped through the Milky Way, emitting a series of deep dragon roars.

"I've already said it's a misunderstanding."

Faced with the aggressive and irritable Old Mustard who was chasing after him, Samael made a helpless and painful statement, but he dared not be careless with his hands. He immediately used his elbows to deflect the attack and stomped forward, using the very tricky "top elbow" of Bajiquan to launch a powerful counterattack.

During my time living in Italy, I spent a lot of time with Kirei Kotomine and learned a lot of his Bajiquan (Eight Extremities Fist) from him.

Later, during the Holy Grail War in Fuyuki City, Samael, who lived in the Tohsaka residence, even taught Rin Tohsaka in a rather wicked way, training a new generation of the devilish muscle Rin according to the original historical trajectory.

At that moment, caught off guard by her opponent's sudden close-range attack, Hinako's arms were swung away, and her wide-open chest collided directly with the pair of raised iron elbows.

"Woo~~~"

Akuta let out a muffled groan, took several steps back to stop, then crossed her arms over her chest, her fair cheeks flushed with anger and embarrassment, her fiery eyes glaring fiercely at Samael, her teeth clenched as if she wanted to tear two ounces of flesh off his neck.

"Let me make this clear: you drove yourself into it, so you really can't blame me!"

Samael looked at Akuta Hinako, who looked like she wanted to bite him to death, and angrily tried to explain himself away.

The groping was an accident!

Besides, your thing is practically as thin as a No. 45 steel plate, and several of your ribs are pressing against my hands and making them hurt. Strictly speaking, I'm at a loss too, right?

"I'll fight you!"

At this moment, whether it was because she heard Samael's extremely insulting words or because she was filled with shame and indignation, the repeatedly defeated Akuta Hinako roared angrily. Welcome to the group: 4:9.,"3:""6!，1:3";5."

At the same time, this hot-tempered pseudo-literary girl, enveloped in a surging stream of scarlet light, rushed towards Samael with lightning speed, tackling him to the ground like a sticky substance.

Excellent dog skin plaster.

Holy crap, a suicide truck?!

Looking at Akuta's illusory body and the surging blood energy around her that resembled blooming flower buds, his eyes bulged and he almost cursed out loud.

What grudge do you hold against me? Why are you dragging me into a self-destruction fight when you can't beat me? Is it really necessary?

But before he could speak, he was completely enveloped in a red halo.

Boom!

Thunder roared, the Milky Way trembled, and a huge mushroom cloud slowly rose.

Faced with such a horrific scene, everyone's breath caught in their throats, and their hearts leaped into their throats.

However, the women, who had only hesitated for a moment, were completely relieved.

A spiral, resembling a towering pagoda, stood proudly amidst the surging waves of blood, while within the dazzling stream of light, Samael patted his chest with lingering fear.

Thankfully, I'm clever enough to have managed to steal the Holy Lance that was meant for Gray and use it myself.

After all, the End of the Blessing of Rungominiad is also at the boundary level, theoretically capable of withstanding even small nuclear bombs.

As for that crazy woman who'll explode at the drop of a hat...

Samael glanced at the suicide truck he was carrying, and his lips twitched slightly.

It's alright, it's just that the clothes are a bit torn.

Everything that should be revealed, and everything that shouldn't be revealed, has been revealed.

The woman's body seemed even more ethereal, as if it had lost its physical form, like mist that would dissipate at the slightest touch, yet her spirit remained full.

Especially when swearing.

"Bastard... beast... next time we meet, I'll tear you to pieces..."

With a pale and listless expression, Hinako hugged her thin chest with both hands, biting her cherry lips tightly, and glared hatefully at the unharmed perpetrator beside her, uttering a sorrowful curse.

But with each word she uttered, she couldn't help but sniffle, and tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.

In response, Samael grinned and gave the nearly naked classical beauty a rude look, appreciating the beautiful scenery with the eye of an art connoisseur.

Clearly, faced with such a volatile old man, he had completely given up on explaining and resisting.

Anyway, having too many lice doesn't make you itch, and having too much debt doesn't make you worry.

However, under the man's direct gaze, the once fearless and irritable Lao Jie instantly froze, shrinking into himself like a silkworm, wrapping himself in the tattered pieces of clothing, his arms crossed over his chest, his voice trembling, his eyes filled with panic.

"You, what do you want to do?"

"It's nothing, I just need your help..."

Samael drew out his words, and his smile grew even brighter.

Need help? Looking for me?

Is this guy out of his mind? How could I possibly...?

Akuta Hinako was slightly taken aback. Before she could think further, her body shot out like a cannonball. The spirit core that had just condensed in her body vibrated violently once again, and a dazzling red light burst forth from her body.

Instantly, a familiar feeling welled up in my heart.

At the same time, Hinako Akuta, who was in mid-air, and Aoko Aozaki, Lydia, Ereshkigal, Rin Tohsaka, and others who were closing in from all sides exchanged glances and had the same thought in their minds.

This scumbag...!

Boom!

In an instant, a scarlet mushroom cloud rose once more, tearing a tiny rift in the boundless Milky Way.

Well done!

Samael pumped his fist in excitement, praising her with undisguised gratitude, unsure whether he was thanking Hinako or praising himself.

However, the Serpent of Eden, who has always acted inhumanly, felt no remorse for such inhuman behavior.

Anyway, Hinako Akuta isn't exactly a respectable person.

Strictly speaking, she is a vampire who obtains food by absorbing energy.

They are not magical beasts or mythical beasts, but rather spirits—terminals born from the Earth's inner sea, used to manage the surface. In the world of magic, they are similar to what are called "True Ancestors," and their birth process is extremely similar, but their purpose as life is different; they are another kind of vampire.

Of course, in Chinese mythology, these kinds of beings have a specific meaning and are often referred to as—

【Celestial Maiden】!

In ancient times, those who emerged from Kunlun and guided the original people to establish tribes and develop civilization were the pioneers.

During the War of the Holy Covenant, in gratitude for the meteorite from outer space that he sent with the inscription "The one who will destroy Qin is Hu," the First Emperor Ying Zheng also sent him some gifts in return, as a gesture of reciprocity.

It contains not only the original, undamaged version of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but also many secret scrolls recording the interactions between humans and gods in ancient China.

Information about the "Celestial Maidens" is found within this; they have always accompanied Chinese civilization, frequently appearing in turning points in history.

For example, the scourge of the Wind God and Rain Master, and the calamity of the Nüba who, once she appears, causes the land to turn barren for thousands of miles...

The Mysterious Woman who bestowed upon Xuanyuan nine volumes of heavenly scriptures, helping him defeat Chiyou at Zhuolu...

The author of the medical classics, Su Nu, transmitted the two books, Ling Shu and Su Wen...

The fox-headed woman from the Kingdom of Qingqiu, who married Yu the Great and bore him a son, Qi of Xia…

The divine bird descended and gave birth to Jian Di, the progenitor of the Shang dynasty...

Clearly, the celestial maidens are not simply gods and humans. Among them are foxes from Qingqiu, birds of black, and immortal corpses that have remained unchanged since time immemorial. They are a group of ancient gods and immortals who, in a broad sense, guided the advancement of human civilization.

Before humans learned to walk independently, they often played the roles of mothers and teachers, guiding the Chinese people from ignorance to civilization.

However, as Emperor Zhuanxu severed the connection between heaven and earth, separating humans and gods, the number of celestial maidens descending from Kunlun to the human world gradually decreased until they disappeared completely.

The last celestial maiden to be documented in writing...

It's that dead fox...

This is precisely why the First Emperor treated Tamamo-no-Mae, that fox spirit, with such leniency and tolerance.

After all, considering that the Celestial Maiden has guided humanity for thousands of years, that dead fox, despite its bad reputation, deserves the courtesy of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Of course, the First Emperor's gift of these things to Samael wasn't entirely out of kindness.

Because of the prophecy that "the one who will destroy Qin is Hu," even the First Emperor might have had doubts.

But we see through it without saying it.

After that, this did not prevent them from returning the favor to the instigators in Greece, sending them some divisive and damaging information.

Although he learned the true identity of the dead fox from it, Samael's relationship with Tamamo-no-Mae did not change because of this scandal.

After all, even without this thing reminding him, he had been wary of that lying fox from the very beginning.

However, those interesting records are still proving useful for now.

For example, in modern times, based on relevant verification materials, he actually encountered a wild "celestial maiden".

Although we don't know how she escaped from Kunlun Ruins or how she survived until now, none of that matters right now.

Samael glanced at Akuta Hinako, who was regenerating her blood energy after her self-destruction, grinned with a "kind" and "friendly" smile, greeted her, and then decisively took the opportunity to turn around and run towards the barrier rift created by the celestial maiden's self-destruction.

However, it seems that Samael's previous unscrupulous act of throwing human-shaped nuclear warheads had attracted too much hatred, thus provoking public outrage.

The women, who had initially kept their distance, suddenly became united in their hatred of the enemy and began to cooperate closely.

"Grab him! Don't let that bastard get away!"

With a disheveled face and a fierce expression, Lydel threw a handful of orange-yellow beans around Samael.

In an instant, clusters of lush green bean sprouts sprang up from the ground. Under the stimulation of abundant magic, they grew rapidly in the wind, forming bean stalks that resembled green pythons, twining around Samael in the center.

Its name is "Jack's Pea". It is a ploy (fairy tale monster) that Lydia made on her own, using botanical knowledge and materials and imitating the style of her friend, Yuju Kuonji.

Although this thing has limited combat power, it is most convenient for trapping enemies.

Using the methods of the Youzhu Sect to help her catch her cheating seems like a very interesting experience.

Seeing that her target was about to be engulfed in a green cage by the sprawling bean stalks, Lydia revealed a smug and mocking smile.

But in the blink of an eye, the Coal Witch realized that she had been too happy.

Inside the closed bean pod, blazing white flames burned fiercely, not only melting through the green sphere, but also burning the entire bean field nurtured by magic to ashes.

Damn it, my PLOY!

Lydia smelled the rich aroma of roasted beans in the air, looked at her painstaking creation, and cried out in her heart.

These are all cooked...

"You bastard, don't run away! I'm not finished with you!"

A moment later, the Coal Witch, growing angrier with each passing thought, threw down the roasted cardamom in her hand, stretched out her right hand, and chanted rapidly. One spell bullet after another flew out with lightning speed, bombarding Samael's body.

However, faced with this massive bombing, Samael not only did not stop walking, but he didn't even dabble in breathing, as if only dust had landed on him.

The radiance remained as brilliant as ever, the ultimate protection emanating from the Holy Lance unwavering as a mountain.

Unfortunately, our side failed to penetrate the enemy's armor.

The botany family is merely a supporting discipline known for witches and potions; its combat capabilities are obvious.

Lydia watched as the lively target rapidly approached her, assuming a martial arts stance to intercept it with her bare hands, her face filled with a resolute determination to sacrifice herself.
