I Will Be the Son of Man

The reason why they chose to use Rider's [job card] is precisely because according to Tohsaka Rin's speculation, the power possessed by Beatrix should belong to Thor, the god of thunder in Norse mythology.

And according to the legend of Thor, when the god finally crusade against the world snake Jormungandr, although he won the final victory, he also took nine steps back because of the snake venom, and swallowed the last breath. tone.

And it was precisely because of this legend that Illya deliberately used the power of the snake-related Rider and Berserker to deal with the opponent.

However, as Meiyou reminded before, time is running out.

Illya raised her eyes, an indigo light flashed in her eyes.

——[Petrochemical Magic Eye].

In an instant, Beatrix felt her body stiffen, making it difficult to move.

"Are you kidding me? How could you defeat me at this level!"

Beatrice tried her best to swing the hammer forward, and swung it in Illya's direction.But Ilya didn't back down, and directly caught the heavy [Miaoernir] with her hands, and her body just froze for a second.

what! ?

Surprise flashed in Beatrice's eyes, and at this moment Illya's ponytail also turned into snake hair, biting towards Beatrice.

The snake hair accurately bit Beatrix's huge right arm, and made a cheerful sound.

【Hmph, once bitten by the ruby ​​snake hair, don't think about getting out! 】

"Wow, talking snake hair, so disgusting..."

Beatrice glanced at the coiled and bitten snake hair on her arm in disgust, she called out to [Mjolnir] who was pushed aside by Illya earlier, and wanted to use the hammer to get away.

"It won't let you succeed!"

The snake tail behind Illya lashed at the opponent's right arm, which made Beatrix's movements a bit chaotic.

"It seems like you've been attacking my right arm since just now, bastard!"

Beatrix also noticed something was wrong, with anger on her face.

In fact, judging from Tohsaka Rin's speculation, as long as the opponent's right arm is destroyed, then it will no longer be able to lift [Miao Ernir].It can be said that that arm is the opponent's weakness, so Illya has been attacking Beatrix's right arm according to the order.

At the same time, on the other side, from just now, although Miyu really wanted to help Illya, something unexpected happened.

Due to the sudden increase in the number of black mud, at this time, many black mud followers have climbed up from the mud below.

While fighting against those black mud servants, Miyu prevented them from disturbing Illya's battle.

But these black mud servants are not like the ones that appeared when the [job card] was recovered, but even stronger.

Ilya, time is running out, hurry up......

Gritting her teeth, Meiyou took a breath after killing a black mud follower, and immediately ran towards another black mud follower.

**********

"Those guys are all existences that died in the Holy Grail War in the past."

"Now, because of the black mud, they all reappeared as undead."

"So, are you here to stop my 'myth' from coming, guy called Hill?"

Julian stood on an altar and turned his head to look at the pure white boy who fell not far away.

"I just came to confirm the situation because of someone's request."

"Although that person asked me to save you, you don't seem to feel that you need to be saved."

Hill looked at Julian. Although the opponent had thick dark circles above his eye bags, his expression was surprisingly calm.

"Ah, maybe it's Angelica, right?"

"Really, I will do some boring things, obviously for the Ainsworth family, that person is useless..."

As if recalling something, Julian frowned.

"So, what exactly do you want to do?"

In fact, Hill still has doubts about one thing.

That is, if the purpose of Darius is to open the [Pandora's Box] to save the world, then when the box is opened, Pandora will be able to die because of regaining the concept of death.

According to Angelica's words, Julian seems to have the purpose of saving Pandora, but in that case, why does the other party seem to want to open the box now.

"Is your purpose to protect that person called [Pandora]?"

Hill raised his confusion and wanted to confirm the other party's thinking.

"Huh? Protection? You seem to have misunderstood something."

At this time, Julian turned his head to look at Hill, and behind him, the figure of Darius condensed by the black magic power appeared again.

[Yes, that woman really needs to be protected. 】

Darius, who was bound to Julian, laughed in a low voice, but Julian, who was still self-aware, said unexpectedly firmly.

"My purpose was clear from the beginning."

"That is.........."

"—Kill Pandora."

【——Protect Pandora. 】

The positions were reversed in an instant, and Julian and Darius spoke words that were diametrically opposed to their speculations.

PS1: Ask for the blade~!

Chapter 074: Redemption

The person who wants to open the magic box to realize Pandora's death says to protect her.

But those who want to save Pandora say they want to kill her.

Although such a statement is diametrically opposed to the speculations of himself and others, Hill does not intend to consider these issues now.

He frowned slightly as he looked at the figure of Darius who was like an undead attached to Julian's back.

"So you didn't die at that time?"

【Ah, I really almost died.However, thank you for not inflicting the last blow, because of the black mud, this body recovered. 】

The corners of Darius' mouth slowly curled up, although because of the [Wanfu Bingying Breaking Precept], the consciousness that he replaced Julian was stripped from the other's body.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, it's just letting Julian get his body back temporarily.

After all, the millennium-long "curse" that has been handed down according to his own blood is not so easy to dissolve.

In each generation of the Ainsworth family, at a certain point, the individual consciousness in their bodies will be replaced by their ancestor Darius.

Originally, the people who became Darius of this generation should be Julian's father, Zachary Ainsworth, and his sister, Angelika Ainsworth.

And not long after Zachary's consciousness was successfully replaced, five years ago, because of the disaster in Fuyuki City, both Zachary and Angelika died in the disaster.

Therefore, the goal of replacing consciousness happens to be Julian's turn.

It also happened to be because at that time, Julian witnessed Beatrice's death, and suffered a considerable mental shock, which made it easier for Darius to replace his consciousness.

If it wasn't because Hill, Illya and others came here to disrupt the situation, he still has Julian's body now.

Of course, such an assumption is meaningless.

Because Darius knew that although Julian looked very strong now, he was also prone to collapse, and he was just waiting for this opportunity.

Hill glanced at Darius, then set his sights on Julian.

"Do you have to open the box?"

Although he doesn't know the real purpose of the other party, Hill knows that [Pandora's Box] must not be opened now.

Because once opened, the world will be flooded with black mud.

"Hmm. Although I don't know what Angelica said to you, but now that things have happened, I won't let anyone stop me again."

"The writing of 'myth' must continue, the box must be opened, and that person, Pandora, must be killed."

Julian's eyes were on Hill, his face was expressionless.

[Yes, that's it, Julian.Our "myth" must let it come to this world. 】

With a smile on his face, Darius whispered to Julian.

"Shut up, Darius."

[Heh, is this really good?That guy is an existence that even I find troublesome. With your third-rate replacement magic, are you confident that you can defeat him? 】

【So, give your body to me, Julian. 】

Bewitching words sounded in Julian's ears, but Julian was unmoved.

He turned his head and glanced directly under the huge cube not far away, where there was a groove-like altar.

And in the center of the altar, amidst the flowing black mud, a female figure could be vaguely seen standing there.

If he didn't know the situation, he might have regarded that figure as some kind of statue.But in fact, it was Pandora who had been motionless since her mental breakdown.

Withdrawing his gaze, Julian turned to look at Hill.

"The position between us has been relative from the beginning. Therefore, there is no such thing as salvation."

"Or, are you willing to hand over the Holy Grail to me?"

Hill shook his head, it was absolutely impossible for him to hand over Meiyu.

"So, we were enemies from the very beginning."

"You took the Holy Grail back for that so-called brother-sister relationship, and you also want to prevent me from opening the box."

"And I need the Holy Grail in order to open the box, save the world, and kill that woman."

"It was a very simple matter."

Julian didn't know why he talked so much with the existence that was clearly an enemy in front of him, maybe it was because when those clear golden eyes looked at him, he inadvertently recalled someone with the same color as those eyes. human hair.

The words have come to this point, and Hill also understands that the person in front of him can no longer discuss with words.

Their respective positions are different, so no matter what kind of words they say, they will become pale.
