Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

“Miss Gudako, why…?!”

Mashu was extremely anxious and confused at this time.

Not only her, the sudden unexpected situation made everyone present feel confused.

"Ms. Gudako...!"

Gudafu clenched his fists while staring at the place where Fujimaru Ritsuka disappeared with concern.

"If only I had noticed sooner...!"

In fact, he had noticed when Fujimaru Ritsuka started to fall, but he was used to the other party flying in the sky, and did not immediately notice the abnormality of the other party's actions, and thus missed the best time to save the other party.

"No, I am more to blame for this."

Quetzalcoatl shook his head, looking guilty:

"I was right beside her at the time, but I didn't notice anything unusual about Gudako and I ran back on my own."

Because of the attack just now, her magic power has been almost exhausted, and the opponent should be the same. She should be able to notice such a simple truth immediately...

"But the data monitoring here didn't detect any signs that Gudako's magic power has been exhausted!?"

In Chaldea, Dr. Roman and Da Vinci were urgently checking various data, but the results were just as they said, no abnormalities were detected in Fujimaru Ritsuka's data before the accident.

"agree."

Ishtar agreed:

"I have been keeping a close eye on their situation. At least when she was talking to Quetzal, he looked very healthy. It shouldn't be a problem on that side."

"If that's the case... could it be that..."

The leopard man pondered with a serious expression:

"Suicide?"

"Bam—!"

Quetzalcoatl wordlessly punched the Leopard Man hard in the abdomen, causing his face to twist and he fell weakly, holding his stomach, unable to express his opinion for a while.

On the other side, Da Vinci calmly analyzed:

"Rather, Gudako's flying doesn't seem to consume much magic power at all. It's more like power... In other words, it shouldn't be a consumption issue."

Anna guessed:

"Could it be that the power suddenly disappeared?"

"It is indeed possible, but..."

Da Vinci shook his head. No matter how they analyzed it now, it was meaningless.

From the moment the other party fell into the black mud, it meant...

-

the other side.

"That guy...!?"

The Kingo duo, who were watching from a distance, finally understood why Fujimaru Ritsuka was so calm when facing him after seeing Fujimaru Ritsuka and Quetzal Coatl team up to destroy the giant horn behind Tiamat.

Because the opponent's strength is indeed terrifyingly strong.

However, the next moment, when he saw Fujimaru Ritsuka falling straight into the black mud, Jin Gu's brain inevitably crashed for a moment.

Then, Jin Gu looked at his Servant Jin Gu beside him with some disbelief and said:

"I say, you are her Servant, right? What is she doing...?"

"I do not know."

The servant Kingu shook his head, staring at the place where Fujimaru Ritsuka disappeared, with a frown on his face.

[Sea of ​​Life: EX]

Beast2, or Tiamat, is the ocean itself that gave birth to life. By circulating the true ether of the Earth's creation, this ocean can provide an infinite supply of magic power. This is the essence of the black mud under her.

Not only that, creatures trapped in black mud and trapped in the sea will also be randomly given skills such as self-transformation, ecological change, ecological fusion, and individual proliferation.

Furthermore, when they emerge from the ocean onto the ground, they must complete a cellular-level contract with Tiamat... that is, the Amino Geass, and automatically become an enemy of humanity.

simply put:

If it is a human or other creature, after falling into the black mud, it will be transformed into a monster like Lahem;

However, if it is a being that cannot be easily transformed like a Servant, it will also be blackened and reversed into a subordinate of Tiamat and an enemy of mankind.

He knew that his Master was a Servant in disguise, a living human being.

In other words, after falling into the black mud, Fujimaru Ritsuka will probably be quickly transformed into an inhuman monster, which also means that the Servant Contract he signed with the other party will be immediately severed.

But, no.

The Servant Kinko can still clearly feel the contractual connection between him and Fujimaru Ritsuka. Not only that, he can also clearly feel the other party's presence.

This……

"Pfft!"

Before he could think carefully, the next moment, accompanied by another "plop" sound, the intact figure of Fujimaru Ritsuka actually jumped out from the black mud and reappeared in their sight.

"——!?"

Jin Gu's pupils shrank slightly, and he murmured:

"I said, this is also..."

-

"Bah, pah!"

After spitting out all the black mud in his mouth, rinsing his mouth repeatedly with mineral water, and cleaning all the black mud on his body, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally felt better.

Although the black mud itself did not have any special smell, and she did not mean to dislike Tiamat, she still felt a little disgusted when she saw those Lahems emerging from the black mud.

In addition-

"Grotto King! Grotto King!..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka called out to the Cave King angrily, but this time, there was no response no matter how he called.

Although she hadn't figured out many of the current situations, such as why her power suddenly became ineffective, why she seemed to be fine after falling into the black mud, what the [Trial] was, etc...

But judging from what the Cave King said, the other party definitely knows something.

The other party's reaction of pretending to remain silent made her even more certain of this.

"Whether it's a trial or something else, it's always this kind of inexplicable thing, and they even play Riddler. It's really...!"

At that moment just now, she really thought she was going to die. Although it didn't happen at the moment, she still felt a little angry.

"I say, can't we just talk it out calmly?!"

"..."

However, the response to her complaint was still silence.

On the contrary, the Lahems around her immediately noticed her presence and rushed towards her.

"I'm not in the mood to play with you guys now..."

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked unhappy, and with his backhand he pulled out the sacred sword, Kusanagi's broadsword, from his [Minister's Treasure], rose slightly into the air, and slashed hard at the swarm of Lahems.

"—!"

The gorgeous and terrifying sword energy whistled out, and one turned into eight. The eight huge sword auras instantly tore through the sky, the earth, and the ocean, leaving behind eight huge and deep marks!

Thousands of Lahem within this range were turned into powder in an instant.

"call--"

After slashing out with the sword to vent his anger, Fujimaru Ritsuka's anger subsided a little. At least he realized that it would be useless to call him the King of the Cave now.

Rather, perhaps the other party's final reminder to her was the best effort he could make.

Now, let’s go back first.

Thinking of this, she put away the sword again, and seeing that the Chaldean group had not left yet, she flew towards them again.

"that……"

Looking at the Chaldeans who were in a fighting stance and looking at her warily, Fujimaru Ritsuka expressed her understanding, but -

She scratched her cheek and smiled helplessly:

"If I say I'm fine, would you believe me?"

The other party shook his head tacitly.

"..."

Well, she didn't believe it herself.
