"You actually escaped?"

The man with an incredible expression turned around and looked at Lily, who was standing in front of Ritsuka with her sword drawn.

what's the situation?

Just as Mr. Lin Yi said, it was as if a part of time was cut off out of thin air, and one could not notice what had happened at all, and the position had suddenly moved.

The only difference from the time with Mr. Lin Yi was that this time, I was protected by Lily.

Although looking at Lily's expression, she didn't seem to understand how she did it. An unconscious reaction? Wait, that's it.

"I see. Do you have that kind of unreasonable luck? If it is an ability that involves cause and effect, it is not hard to understand why you were able to dodge my attack."

After a helpless sigh, Atreus stretched his hands and feet and a smile appeared on his face.

"Then I have no choice but to use violence to force you directly."

Amidst the seemingly harmless laughter, a chill spread through the hearts of Lily and Ritsuka at the same time.

Chapter 48: The show begins~?

Without any warning, Atreus, who had been missing for two days without leaving any trace, suddenly appeared at this moment and attacked Fujimaru Ritsuka right away.

It seemed that it was the same attack method that Mr. Lin Yi encountered. It was as if several seconds had passed in a blink of an eye. The whole person's consciousness became confused in an instant. It was as if he had just done something instinctively and then forgot what to do next. As a result, the whole person was frozen in place.

How exactly is this done?

What exactly is this power and why does it have such a terrifying effect?

"Master, please hide behind me. This enemy is very scary."

Altria spoke softly, holding the sword tightly in her hand and stood up, facing the man standing in front of her cautiously.

At that moment, Lily herself didn't know how she had protected Ritsuka. However, being able to achieve such an unreasonable action could only prove one thing, that is, the opponent's power was already related to the power of time and space conversion or causal manipulation. Only in the face of such power could she rely on the attribute of [Luck] to achieve avoidance.

Luck is a statistic that represents the basic qualities of the servants in the world where Fujimaru Ritsuka lives. Specifically, it is divided into six aspects: strength, endurance, agility, magic, luck, and treasure. Among them, in the attribute of luck, Lily's data is A+, which is basically the ultimate luck. After reaching this level of luck, Lily can forcibly avoid weaknesses and cut off the cause and effect to avoid fatal injuries even when facing the so-called causal-level must-hit curse.

And now, this ability was activated when facing Atreus, which meant that the ability that the opponent just displayed was related to cause and effect or time and space operations, which could not be resisted under conventional operations.

It was a very troublesome situation. If she didn't even know how to avoid it, she wouldn't be able to understand the opponent's strength. Even as a novice knight, Lily could clearly understand how important the intelligence gap between the two sides was in the battle at this time.

But, no matter what, the only thing that cannot be shaken is one's duty as a Servant.

"Master, please step back, leave this to me!"

Taking a deep breath, the girl rushed forward in an instant, the sweeping magic power condensed on the blade, and slashed forward fiercely as the girl swung.

when!

Amid the crisp sound of collision, Atreus raised his hand and blocked her sword with his elbow.

No, it wasn't blocked directly by the elbow.

This thing is...

Grey metallic lines, as well as interlaced dark red and dark purple lines, covered Atreus's arms.

Layer upon layer of mechanical structures completely wrapped up Atreus's arms, with sharp spikes covering the edges of his arms, and two sharp structures like circular saw blades on both sides of his shoulders.

A huge metal mask covered Atreus's face, and there was a pair of wing-like metal armor on his back. There was also a pair of metal boots on his legs, covering the entire soles and calves, and there was a circular saw blade structure similar to the one on the shoulders on the outside of his ankles.

It was with the help of this thing that Atreus easily blocked Lily's attack, as if he had not exerted any effort at all.

Bang!

There was an instant collision and intersection. Without the slightest hesitation, the young knight and the giant-like man started fighting in an instant.

Can't see the action clearly.

In just the first second of the collision, Ritsuka was completely unable to see the speed of the battle between the two sides.

In that moment of confrontation, did Lily swing five swords? Seven swords? Or even more?

Bang bang bang bang——

The windows in the corridor burst open one after another under the intense wind pressure.

Atreus stood still, waving his hands, and blasting forward with the metal gloves covering his arms, colliding with Lily's sword. The metal floor under his feet was rapidly deformed under the bombardment of the two people, and it was even unable to withstand the aftermath of the battle.

"Drink-"

The magic power surged in an instant.

Relying on the extremely powerful magic power released, the female knight launched an extremely fierce attack at this moment, and the sword chopped down fiercely collided with Atreus's blocking arm.

The violent wind tore towards the corridor behind Atreus. Layers of metal plates were torn off abruptly, and cracks on the wall continued to spread. At this moment, the entire corridor seemed to be swept by a storm, and the surface parts were torn off like rotten wood, revealing the pipes and various circuits underneath.

Take another step forward.

The sword swung out violently, pressing down on Atreus with unparalleled force, forcing him to fall to one knee, and his knee hitting the ground directly created a shallow dent in the metal plate.

The entire process takes less than 5 seconds.

And Atreus had already raised his head.

"What a powerful force! It looks like a kitten, but it turns out to be a lion?"

With a loud roar, Lin Yi broke through the floor and landed from the sky not far behind Atreus. Gu Mingji Jue came up from the other side of the corridor, and then Jotaro flipped over and jumped in from the window.

The saviors gathered at this moment.

Atreus just stared at his pants with a hole in it and sighed helplessly.

"This thing is very troublesome to repair."

After saying that, he slammed his fist down, and with a loud bang, the entire corridor collapsed.

boom!

A raging fire burst out from the boxing gloves, spreading out in an instant and knocking over the people who were surrounding them.

Lily tried to turn around and push Ritsuka away, but as the ground collapsed, Atreus swung his fist down, forcing her to cross her sword to block. The terrifying power that erupted immediately caused her to be knocked out directly. With a loud bang, she crashed through the ground on the lower floor, and then crashed through the floor under her. She was knocked through three floors in a row and rolled in another corridor before standing up awkwardly, and Atreus had already landed in front of her.

The long sword was swung out again without hesitation, colliding with the opponent's fist.

Magical power flowed violently through the girl's body, giving her strength far beyond normal to push Atreus' fist back.

The man swung out his other hand almost instantly, but the girl turned the sword around almost instantly and blocked the opponent's attack with her backhand.

!

In a flash of alertness, Lily turned her head sharply and avoided the sharp spikes that pierced through Atreus's arm armor.

"An ability like intuition? You, this talent is not very friendly to those who like sneak attacks."

Atreus shook his head and suddenly exerted force, pushing Lily away.

The female knight swung her sword violently in mid-air, stabbing it into the ground to stabilize her body. Then she leaped forward and instantly crashed into Atreus under the torrent of magic power.

Boom!

The entire corridor exploded at this moment as the two released their power.

The ceiling fell down, the ground collapsed, and the walls on both sides were torn apart.

The tall man retreated to another corridor at the back, while the petite young knight pursued without hesitation. The weapons of both sides crossed dozens of times in the blink of an eye, and the aftermath of the violently released power continued to tear the second corridor apart. The scattered shock waves even directly shattered one side of the wall. Countless fragments fell from the hull and fell high into the sea. The battle between the young knight and the King of Returning Spirits directly opened a hole in the side of the ship.

So strong...

It was only such a brief fight, but the opponent's defense was so impenetrable that there was no room for any gaps, which made the girl a little shocked.

His speed and strength are just as good as those of first-rate servants, but he lacks the means to burst out magical energy. Moreover, he does not seem to be able to use the boxing gloves and foot gear very well, so his combat effectiveness is much worse than that of servants.

Bang!

The two men smashed several corridors and a large number of rooms from above all the way down, and finally landed in a dance hall.

Atreus took several steps back and stood in the center of the stage in the hall, while Lily, who had stepped out from countless broken ruins, rushed forward suddenly, ready to rush towards the enemy in front again.

"Well, it's about time to get down to business. After all, we've already arrived at the stage."

Then, Lily saw the smile on the other person's face.

Pain suddenly came from my feet.

In that split second, the body instinctively realized that some kind of danger was approaching and took evasive action.

However, it was not fast enough to escape the dangerous area.

As a result, Lily's left leg suddenly broke apart, and the calf near the knee was cut off in thin air. All the blood vessels, tendons and bones were cut off by an invisible layer of unknown substance, causing the female knight to fall directly to the ground.

“Uh…”

After a moment of severe pain, Lily gritted her teeth, used the sword to support her body and barely stood firm, and did not fall down because of her broken leg.

How did you do that just now?

It’s incomprehensible. I didn’t feel any power fluctuations at all.

The moment I approached that area, I suddenly felt an extremely strong premonition of danger.

Is this some kind of trap?

boom!

The theater door was kicked open and flew towards Atreus, but the other party dodged it casually by leaning sideways.

Lin Yi and Jotaro rushed in from the door, and Ritsuka trotted after them. Komeiji Kaku flew down from the ruins that Lily had blasted out, and landed directly next to the young knight.

Watching everyone coming, Atreus opened his arms like the protagonist of a show, and his voice seemed to be ups and downs.

"Welcome everyone, follow me here and perform this grand performance."

"Although my original intention was just to stir up trouble and let the people on this ship kill each other, since you insist on disrupting the situation, I will be a little more direct."

"After all, you who are protected by the system always have a way to jump out of the original framework. It's like a person who, when faced with the choice of whether to put peanut butter or sesame sauce on the barbecue, directly chooses to go beyond the question itself and insists on putting chili sauce or rap sauce on the barbecue. Ha, the formation that is obviously preparing to extract souls is naturally even more so."

"So, why don't we just end it here, all of you, and me who's left. Right now, right now, right here, let's put an end to all the problems between us."

"As the savior who brings light and hope, fight the final battle with me, the king of the spirits."

With his hands raised high, he looked as if he was really enjoying the audience's cheers, even though there were no audience members in the theater.

Jotaro took a step forward with a frown on his face, while Lily, with Ritsuka's emergency treatment, managed to use her magic to reshape her severed leg. She took a breath, stood up again holding the sword, and stood on guard together with Komeiji Kaku who was walking over from a distance.

Lin Yi took the small hourglass from a passenger, lowered his head to check the sand falling in the hourglass, then raised his head to face the enemy in front of him.

The actors on the stage have gathered here.

So what comes next is the final performance on stage?

Chapter 49: The Power of the Servant~?

"Are you finally stopping hiding? I thought you were going to play hide and seek with us for at least a month."

Looking at the man standing in the middle of the stage not far away, Lin Yi spoke in a bad tone.

There were no tourists around, which was good news, but this guy had just casually blown up a large area. If a fight really broke out here, who knows if it would affect the tourists who had gathered there...

But no matter what, it's almost time to end it now.

"After all, you are planning to extract the souls of everyone on the ship. I have been to many worlds and have some knowledge in this area. In this situation, I really have no choice but to come out and fight you."

Atreus sighed and waved his hands, his face looking helpless.

"Well, I can see that you are very knowledgeable. Then, do you know that you are actually the product of a genetic experiment? You [Returning Spirits] are not actually the real Returning Spirits, but are substitutes who were pushed out to bear the wrath of mankind?"

Lin Yi spoke directly, staring at Atreus and asked.

"I know."

Then, somewhat unexpectedly, I got this answer from the other party.

Atreus sat down on the stage very simply, waved his hand, and looked very relaxed.

"The Guiling Clan I thought I was part of probably didn't exist from the beginning. It was just a tool created by humans. I'm very clear about this. After all, there are artificially encoded parts in my genes. I confirmed this a long time ago."

"It's not just me, it's the same for others, Neiltat, Bashir, everyone is in the same situation. Yeah. But I didn't tell them the truth. It's meaningless if too many people know about this."

"Ah, that's what I said, but if I hadn't been chosen by the Evolutionary System and had the opportunity to come into contact with the outside world, I wouldn't have been able to discover this. I might not realize the truth until I die."

Atreus shrugged, his expression never changing, as if he was talking about someone else who had nothing to do with him.

"Since you know this, why..."
