[241] The Birth of Malice

"You haven't seen anything, go back——" The clone squad's magus patted the shoulder of someone nearby. Just as he finished speaking, in an instant, his heart was taken out.

"What?" The magus's face changed. Flames suddenly ignited around him, turning the hand of the dead apostle reaching for his heart into ashes.

"Dead apostle?" Turning to look at the dead apostles one by one, the magus smiled, "These dead apostles dare to show themselves in front of our squad for clearing dead apostles——Had enough fun?"

Impressive——

The dead apostles' expressions remained unchanged. They had clashed with them before and naturally knew the strength of these magicians.

Usually, one magus would need two or three mid-level dead apostles to deal with, and only the outstanding ones among the mid-level dead apostles could handle a one-on-one fight.

Only high-level dead apostles felt confident in facing these magus.

Barthomeloi has been doing one thing for a long time—exterminating dead apostles.

For some reason, every generation of Barthomeloi has an unprecedented hatred for dead apostles.

Whenever there was an opportunity, she would kill those dead apostles.

So... those magus who fought alongside Barthomeloi in the world had long become experts.

They knew exactly how to kill a dead apostle, where to hit them in order to kill them accurately, and everything else.

"Kill them——"

The dead apostles roared.

...

Swish, swish, swish, swish——

In Kazuya's hand, the brush moved at an extremely fast speed. Even after such a long time of drawing, his speed had reached A-level now.

In front of him, the huge sea demon twisted its aura, while dead apostles, magus, and executors fought around.

The servants attacked the sea demon.

Everything, vividly on paper.

Click——

While watching from the side, Alucard, without saying anything, just smiled and pulled out a gun to aim at the figure that appeared beside his master.

"No, no, no, don't attack. I'm not an enemy. I just came to see what's going on here——" A servant appeared beside Kazuya and said, "Amazing! I found that this place is the best viewing angle, the best place for observation and creation, and also the safest place, so I came over! I didn't expect to find someone here already!"

Saying that, the servant and Caster looked at the manuscript in front of Kazuya and exclaimed, "What an amazing technique! Are you creating too? And it's so beautiful! Can you tell me your name?"

"No, you can't."

Kazuya closed the manuscript and looked at the servant who appeared beside them, saying, "I still have to try to hide my name as much as possible, but, with your words, I immediately knew it... Caster Shakespeare, right?"

"Exactly!" Shakespeare put his hand on his chest and bowed, saying, "Indeed, I am William Shakespeare. Don't you find this scene in front of you full of creative inspiration? The Legion of dead apostles is rushing to their deaths — and all this is just for one Heroic Spirit, one servant!"

"Oh, of course, so, I'm drawing." Kazuya said, "All of this will be shown under my brush at the right moment! Alucard."

Bang——

"Oh, oh, it's really dangerous, but I won't leave so soon. There are still interesting things to see! How can I leave so quickly? See you next time, modern artist!"

...

Ding——

"Balmung————!!"

"Clarent Blood Arthur———!!"

The Noble Phantasms roared!

One after another, the Noble Phantasms attacked the sea demon, but... now the sea demon had grown so big that even the release of Excalibur couldn't completely burn away the part that remained.

Of course, it was the power demonstrated by King Arthur in Fate/Zero.

The part cut off by the Noble Phantasm would quickly regenerate.

That huge sea demon, which was hundreds of meters tall, seemed to have reached the clouds.

Their Noble Phantasms could only cut off one of the huge tentacles of the sea demon, and as a result... even if it was just a tentacle, it wasn't much smaller than when the sea demon first appeared.

Now it had consumed hundreds of humans, a large number of dead apostles, and some magus and executors.

The sea demon...

Landfall!

No matter how unwilling they were, it couldn't be denied that the tactics of the dead apostles had succeeded.

And the cost was... except for the four high-level dead apostles, all the others... including all of Colin Kidd's men, had become food for the sea demon.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh——————!! This is the horn dedicated to you! Rebel against the gods first——the gods will be pulled underground, the gods will be crushed——! Then! A new god will be born——!"

Bang——

At this moment, a Noble Phantasm pierced through the sea demon's flesh and tore off one of Caster's arms.

"What——?"

Caster's face changed.

Then he saw it.

That... white figure.

White figure, green hair... Lancer——Enkidu!

"Sorry, I borrowed the earth a bit."

Enkidu placed his hand on the ground——

One after another, countless longswords rose from the ground and aimed at the sea demon.

Then——shot out!

The number of longswords was in the hundreds.

In an instant, hundreds——incessantly shot out.

As if they were hundreds of missiles!

Even the massive body of the sea demon was slowly being shot into a sieve, as if one by one hole appeared, and even Caster's arm was temporarily cut off——

"Master——Ryunosuke——!!"

Caster began to shout excitedly.

After all... no matter how you put it, he was also a Servant, with a Master and a curse!

"Yes, yes, I know, sir." Ryunosuke, watching all this in DIO's mansion from a distance, said with satisfaction, and raised the curse he had prepared from the beginning: "Spread out! Melt into the body of the sea demon! Become stronger! Boss!"

One after another, curses disappeared!

Three curses were almost exhausted——

And then...

Caster Gilles de Rais smiled.

Among the sea demon, his body began to be truly devoured, bit by bit, and finally——completely disappeared into this sea demon.

"In this case... how about that?"
