Chapter 627 - 627
I have to say.Roa, goddammit, can't you make fewer enemies?
If you had fewer enemies, things wouldn't have escalated to this point where sworn foes are cutting each other down!
Hatred filled Carmilla's eyes.
As someone who also despised Roa, Flauros believed her words—that gaze was undoubtedly that of an avenger. He and Carmilla quickly formed a united front.
Then Flauros immediately set his sights on Arcueid, thrusting his massive knight lance forward like the Tower of Babel piercing through heaven and earth.
Without a word, Arcueid coldly advanced like an emotionless machine.
Claws and lance crossed, the harsh sounds of their clashes ringing out incessantly.
In their brief exchange, Arcueid showed no signs of being at a disadvantage.
Even with just over half her power, her strength was no less than this mere century-young Ancestor!
Meanwhile.
Carmilla unhesitatingly targeted Eiji.
The massive Iron Maiden on her back transformed into a shadow, swinging toward him like a giant hammer!
"You really think I'm an easy target?"
Eiji's lips twisted.
He pushed off the ground with both feet, his figure darting away in an instant as the Iron Maiden swung through empty air.
Though his posture appeared casual, the moment he moved, it was as if all engines in his body ignited at once, instantly accelerating to peak speed like a train.
And strangely, despite his large movements, there wasn't the slightest sound of wind!
Perhaps the wind was too faint for them to perceive.
But regardless, this skill was utterly incredible!
Silently, Eiji changed direction, gripping his sword as he charged toward Carmilla.
"You said you have a grudge against Roa?"
Eiji swung his blade down. Unable to retrieve the Iron Maiden in time, Carmilla threw out her chains to block his attack.
The interlocking chains dispersed the force layered within the blade, causing the demonic light blade to return without success.
"Don't make me repeat myself!"
Carmilla pulled back the Iron Maiden, hurling it at Eiji with an angry roar.
"What kind of grudge is it?"
Eiji dodged the statue again while pressing his question.
"You couldn't have met him long ago, right? Why the enmity? And why do you need to act alongside him to find a chance for revenge?"
Roa's appearance in this Singularity was undoubtedly a result of worldline convergence.
In other words, though Roa might have been lurking in his original city for years, he should have only arrived in Konojō City in recent days.
His approximate entry time was likely similar to Arcueid and Flauros.
In such a short time, how could he have formed a grudge with Carmilla?
Moreover, why would Carmilla, already awakened, follow his orders?
"You think I'd tell you?!"
Carmilla snorted coldly, brandishing her statue and chains as if fighting to the death.
"What's the harm?"
Eiji evaded her aggressive attacks, occasionally countering with a sword strike to startle her back.
"If you die, I can carry on your legacy!"
Carmilla paused.
Then her attacks grew even more frenzied.
This guy's words are so infuriating!
"You really won't say?"
Eiji's eyes sharpened.
His figure flickered, closing in on her like an eagle locking onto its prey, instantly invading her personal space.
Carmilla's expression shifted.
So fast! He wasn't serious at all earlier!
With no time to retract the statue and chains, Eiji's blade descended. Carmilla grunted as her right arm, still gripping the chain, was severed cleanly at the shoulder and sent flying.
"If you're that guy's subordinate, you should know where he's hiding now, right?"
After severing her arm with a single strike, Eiji watched her retreat rapidly but chose not to pursue, instead shouting his question.
"Tell me his information, and you'll still have a chance for revenge!"
If she refused, he'd leave her corpse right here!
His words carried a sharp, threatening edge.
"Heh."
Carmilla let out a light scoff.
She released her hand covering her right shoulder. The bone, muscle, and blood vessels at her shoulder writhed rapidly, twisting and intertwining until, in mere seconds, a new right arm materialized from nothing!
Eiji was slightly taken aback.
"You think I don't want to say?"
Carmilla's face twisted with hatred as she grabbed the Iron Maiden with her smooth, bare arm and hurled it toward him.
"I can't say, you bastard!"
"..."
Eiji remained silent.
Carmilla had been turned into a Dead Apostle.
How absurd—a Servant actually being transformed into a Dead Apostle by a Dead Apostle!
Did that guy Roa choose to turn Carmilla into a Dead Apostle to control her?
This way, bound by the blood curse, she couldn't betray Roa!
This way, Carmilla had no choice but to stay by his side, obeying his commands while waiting for an opportunity to seek revenge!
That guy Roa really knows how to make things convenient for himself!
"Boom!"
The Iron Maiden descended from above, its door splitting open along the midline.
A tremendous suction force emanated from the cave-like dark space inside, attempting to draw everything in its vicinity into it.
Carmilla's Noble Phantasm!
Eiji's expression remained unchanged. With a light step, his body drifted toward the Iron Maiden like a willow catkin.
"Ahahahaha, bring forth blood for me—Phantom Maiden!"
Carmilla laughed hysterically, her eyes seeping with a crimson magical light.
"Thud!"
At the moment he was about to be sucked into the Iron Maiden, Eiji forcefully kicked off the ground. His figure leaped over the bronze statue like a feather, landing on the ground before immediately swinging his blade in a reverse strike!
"Gah!"
The laughter cut off abruptly as Carmilla let out a scream.
The silvery blade pierced through her body, the tip cleanly penetrating her heart from behind.
After her heart shattered, Carmilla's aura rapidly withered.
"Cough, cough..."
Carmilla coughed heavily several times, large amounts of blood spilling from her mouth and nose.
Eiji withdrew his blade, silently watching as Carmilla collapsed powerlessly to the ground.
In this Singularity, all Heroic Spirits were Servants—Servants who had been incarnated.
And as long as they were Servants, they inevitably had the weakness of a "Spiritual Core." Even after incarnation, this weakness remained; even after becoming a Dead Apostle, it didn't disappear.
For most Servants, their Spiritual Core was located in the heart.
"Ah, this isn't so bad either..."
Lying on the ground, a faint smile surfaced in Carmilla's dazed expression.
As if death, for her, had instead become a form of release.
"Were you planning to come here to die from the start?"
Eiji was slightly taken aback, asking in a low voice.
"How could that be? I genuinely wanted revenge..."
Carmilla's face was pale. She let out a cold laugh upon hearing this, then coughed violently for a while.
"If revenge isn't possible, then so be it. It's not like this was going to be a particularly happy life anyway."
As a Heroic Spirit, obtaining a second life was an exceptionally rare opportunity - something countless Heroic Spirits would desperately seek but never obtain.
Unfortunately, this wasn't truly a proper second life. The Heroic Spirits who gained second lives within this Singularity were, at best, mere pawns being manipulated in someone else's hands.
