My mother's love song

The ghost girl stared at the crazy monster without saying a word.

After his wailing laughter, Kitablil said calmly, "My original mother was a human.

I don't know what kind of bastard my father is...but it doesn't matter anymore.

You are right, I am ugly. I have been rejected by humans since I was born because I look like neither human nor ghost.

I was expelled from human society, wandering in the wilderness, living on carrion.

I was captured by the monsters and taken back to the Blood Temple as food, but I survived.

Not only was it not devoured by the monster egg, but it absorbed nutrients from it.

It was my mother who accepted me and gave me a new life.

It was my fellow countrymen [the eleven sons of Tiamat] who accepted me and gave me meaning to my existence.

Tomoe Gozen, you should also become Mother's child. If you are the one, you are qualified.

You will become the strongest demon beast leader... Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, and wipe out all the hateful humans on this earth!"

"Haha... I thought you were going to say something... So you were going to persuade them to surrender?"

Tomoe Gozen raised an eyebrow, “Indeed, your experience is very sympathetic, but what you did does not deserve any sympathy.

Vicious monster, I will kill you here to protect the humans on this land."

"Why! You are obviously not human! Your human blood is so weak!

I can understand that you and I are of the same kind! You are born evil!"

“Heh… maybe if I had worse luck, I would become like you.

But I am lucky, I met gentle humans in my previous life."

Tomoe Gozen's expression softened.

“Lord Kiso Yoshinaka, she accepted my mixed-blood identity... and took me in as a nominal concubine.

Because of her existence, I can stay away from the malice of human society.

It was painful to suppress my own bloodline, but for her, I could endure it so that I could survive as a human being to the end."

The raised pincers made a whistling sound in the air, and Kitabriel revealed an absolute killing intent.

"Humph... Since you don't want to be my child, then die here."

"correct."

Suddenly, Tomoe Gozen showed a proud expression.

“Recently, I’ve also met people who aren’t afraid of me,” she said briskly.

"What……?"

"It's true. Even if you see my ugly devil horns, you won't be scared, kid."

That was the smug look a young girl would have when she was showing off.

Tomoe Gozen stroked his horn and spoke calmly.

"Commander of the Warcraft Army, you just asked me why I want to protect humans who have nothing to do with me, right?

Indeed, I was also very confused when I first came to this era, especially when I met my old enemies in the camp.

What is the reason for fighting for humanity?

But now I am no longer confused... Even if it is for that child, I will destroy you!"

From the previous attack, Tomoe Gozen had already realized that Kitaburiel was not an opponent he could defeat.

So

She loosened her grip on the naginata and sword.

An astonishing magical reaction burst out from Tomoe Gozen's body, and the magic power appeared red in the air and transformed into a raging fire.

"Wait, wait! What are you going to do?!"

The scorpion man Kitabriel's intuition as a magical beast made it feel extremely uneasy.

Although it had no doubt about its own strength, it could clearly smell the scent of death from the female warrior in front of it.

Tomoe Gozen raised the corner of his mouth, revealing an evil spirit's expression.

"Poor monster, go to hell with me."

red lotus.

Originally a Buddhist term, it is one of the eight cold hells.

Because those who are born in this hell suffer from severe cold, their bodies turn red and their skin cracks from freezing, so it is called the Red Lotus Hell.

This ancient word, which is elegant yet cruel, was introduced to Japan and used casually by two-dimensional creators who took the word literally. In modern times, it has become an adjective representing fire.

But using red lotus to describe Tomoe Gozen's flame that is powerful enough to burn his own body is appropriate.

Under Tomoe Gozen's desperate release, her white jade-like girl's skin gradually burst open.

till the end.

A bright red and magnificent flaming flower rose from the ground, engulfing all enemies within a radius of several hundred meters centered on her.

……

……

……

"Ah..."

When Tomoe Gozen opened her eyes again, her body could no longer feel any pain.

Her five bodies had already shattered and turned into powder.

Before her death, Tomoe Gozen once fantasized that she could die a worthy death on the battlefield.

I didn’t expect that the things I couldn’t achieve during my lifetime would be achieved after my death.

Heroic spirits are truly incredible beings...

Feeling consciousness gradually fade away.

"I'm sorry...Rod-kun."

Tomoe Gozen slowly closed his eyes.

"I'm afraid I can't fulfill my promise to you... Please forgive me."

"If you know you haven't fulfilled your promise, don't die without permission, Tomoe-sister."

"Why!?!?"

When Tomoe Gozen heard the familiar voice on his deathbed, he opened his eyes in surprise.

Is it an illusion?

She wanted to laugh at her own naivety, but found that it was not an illusion.

The boy, who she had only met once a few days ago but had always lingered in her mind and could not be forgotten, now appeared before her alive.

Although I want to ask him something.

Although I wanted him to escape quickly.

But Tomoe Gozen was so excited that she couldn't say anything.

"Will you stay by my side forever, Tomoe?"

As he spoke, Rhodes extended his hand to her.

On the back of his hand, a red Command Seal pattern appeared.

"!!!"

Without even a second's hesitation, Tomoe Gozen smiled.

"With pleasure, my Lord!"

Chapter 149: Where did this mama’s boy come from? Are you teaching me how to do things?

"……bar!"

At the last moment, Rod extended his hand to Tomoe Gozen, who was dispersing on the battlefield like morning mist.

Tomoe Gozen responded to him without any hesitation.

"…My Lord!"

Hold your hands tightly together,

The contract is established.

An invisible causal line connects the two bodies.

Rhodes's expanded magic power was instantly injected into Tomoe Gozen's shattered body.

This is not a contract between the Servant and the Magician, but a contract between the Servant and the Holy Grail System.

After Tomoe Gozen launched a suicide attack on the scorpion man Kitablil by destroying her own spiritual base, she was no longer a servant of the Greater Grail of Uruk and the wise king Gilgamesh.

And Rhodes held her hand in her last moments on earth.

The Holy Grail, which was originally able to provide magic power to seven Heroic Spirits at the same time, is now used to supply magic power to one Heroic Spirit. The result can be imagined.

Tomoe Gozen, who had already stepped one foot into the Throne of Heroes, was pulled back again, and her body was reconstructed in just a moment.

"My Lord... who are you?"

Tomoe Gozen, kneeling in the explosion pit, looked up at Rhodes.

"Sorry, we'll talk later. The enemy is coming."

"Ah, yes. Okay, Master!"

Tomoe Gozen struggled to raise her naginata and stumbled to stand up from the ground, but Rhodes put his hand on her shoulder.

"Sister Tomoe has worked hard enough, just take a good rest here... Leave the rest to me."

"My Lord?"

Tomoe Gozen blinked in disbelief.

"But, but"

From the huge magic power that Rhodes provided her, she could feel that the boy in front of her was definitely not an ordinary child.

But this and that are the same thing.

Tomoe Gozen couldn't imagine that a body as thin as Rhodes could fight against those terrifying monsters.

"no problem."

Rhodes read the worry in Tomoe Gozen's beautiful eyes and smiled faintly.

"Because Sister Tomoe has already killed the strongest enemy general, even I can handle the remaining enemies."

"..."

Tomoe Gozen silently let go of Rhodes' hand.

She chose to believe the boy in front of her.

Just like he held his hand without any doubt before dying.

Although this was only their second meeting, Tomoe Gozen felt as if she had known Rhodes for many years.

Ahhh…I see.

Lord Rhodes is somewhat similar to Lord Kiso Yoshinaka.

Lady Yoshinaka, like Lord Rhodes, is thin and petite in the eyes of others.

But she has never been afraid of me, who has ghost blood flowing in my body.

Since childhood, she has always regarded me as a protected person.
