Chapter 216 The Underworld and the Grand Assassins
Kusa.
Merlin, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and the others, tasked with finding the Tablet of Destiny, have begun their search.
But this is, after all, a city.
Given the area, they had no choice but to split up.
Then the crisis occurred.
Fujimaru Ritsuka, the weakest of the four, suddenly finds herself in the underworld.
Completely different from the situation after the Age of Gods dissipated, the Heavenly Realm and the Underworld truly existed in the Age of Gods.
And it exists in the same world as the human world.
In this era, you can reach the heavens by flying into the sky, and you can reach the underworld by digging into the ground.
They are real people in this world.
Fujimaru Ritsuka was searching for the Destiny Tablet when she suddenly saw a blurry figure and followed its trail all the way underground.
Then she stumbled into the underworld.
"Hey, where am I? This isn't Kusa, is it?"
Looking at the pitch-black surroundings, Fujimaru Ritsuka was immediately startled.
She was surrounded by barren rocks, and in front of her lay a bottomless abyss.
In addition, the environment here also made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
This is, after all, the underworld, the place where the dead reside.
As a living person, she felt out of place here.
"Um?
'
Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka was surprised by his surroundings, Fou, who was standing on his shoulder, suddenly sensed something unusual.
While Fujimaru Ritsuka, Merlin Mashu, and Anna went their separate ways, the couple stayed by Fujimaru Ritsuka's side.
Sensing danger, it became alert.
"What's wrong, Fufu?"
Noticing Fufu's unusual behavior, Fujimaru Ritsuka also turned around.
"Ugh!"
Startled, Fujimaru Ritsuka involuntarily took a step back, immediately stepping onto the edge of the abyss.
Before her stood several horribly-faced corpses.
These corpses were all dressed in black robes, and their numbers were increasing.
"Is it a living person?"
"It's a living person!"
"Why are there living people in the underworld?!"
The corpses gathered here while constantly asking questions.
As more and more corpses gathered toward her, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally realized where she was.
"The underworld! Why am I in the underworld?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had never been to the Age of Gods, naturally had no idea of the difference between the Age of Gods and the modern world.
In modern times, underground is underground.
In search of various minerals and energy resources, people continue to dig into the earth.
There is no such place as the legendary underworld.
But this is the Age of Gods.
And indeed, the underworld does exist beneath the earth of the Age of Gods.
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who knew nothing about this, was immediately confused.
She still doesn't understand how things got to this point.
But she seemed to have no time left to think.
As more and more corpses gathered here, their emotions became increasingly unstable.
"We were brutally murdered, without dignity, without prayer, simply abandoned."
"Are you here to mock us? Are you here to plunder us?"
"Unforgivable! Unforgivable!"
Amidst the resentment of these corpses, the leader of the corpses immediately reached out his hand towards Fujimaru Ritsuka and grasped her neck.
"Wait, I...."
'
Faced with the resentment of these corpses, Fujimaru Ritsuka was about to explain that none of what they were saying had anything to do with her.
But before she could finish speaking, the other person had already grabbed her by the neck.
The words that were on the tip of my tongue could no longer be uttered.
Breathing began to become difficult.
Visibility also began to narrow and dim.
Just as Fujimaru Ritsuka's situation was becoming increasingly dangerous, a figure suddenly appeared beside her.
The visitor was none other than Kotomine Shirou.
Seeing this, Shirou Kotomine kicked the leading corpse away.
The kick also affected many other corpses, including those that were blocking the way behind the first one.
In just a moment, all the corpses were kicked away by Shirou Kotomine.
"Are you alright, Ritsuka?"
"I'm fine."
Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had fallen to the ground, rubbed her neck as she slowly stood up.
Fufu, who had jumped to the ground ready to yell to intimidate the dead, quickly jumped back onto her shoulder and whispered to her.
"I'm fine, Fufu."
After ruffling Fufu's head, Fujimaru Ritsuka quickly regained her composure.
"Shirou, this seems to be the underworld. What should we do next?"
The corpses that Shirou Kotomine had kicked away gathered again, and there were far more of them than before.
In the blink of an eye, Kotomine Shirou and Fujimaru Ritsuka were surrounded by a large crowd.
"What do we do? Fight our way out, of course!"
Dark, magical energy coiled around Shirou Kotomine's hands.
When facing these spirits, curse power has a much greater destructive force.
This is the perfect time to do it.
"etc!"
Just as Kotomine Shirou was about to engage in a fierce battle with the corpse, a heavy voice immediately brought both sides to a halt.
The next moment, a man also dressed in black robes appeared before Kotomine Shirou and Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes.
He stood among the corpses, leaning on his cane.
At his shout, all the corpses stopped moving forward.
"Go back. You shouldn't stay here any longer."
At his command, all the corpses turned into spiritual light and disappeared from the place.
The three of them were left looking at each other.
"Who are you?"
Looking at the man in front of her, Fujimaru Ritsuka asked somewhat uncertainly.
She seemed to have seen this person before.
But that person shouldn't be here.
"They did nothing wrong. You are the ones who are being rude. You should not have set foot here in human form."
"I was originally going to save you to repay a favor I owed you, but since someone else has already come to save you, let's wait for next time."
After saying that, the man turned to leave.
"When you get back, tell that magician that the underworld still exists."
After saying that, his figure disappeared into the distance.
"Wait, my name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, what's yours?"
"My name is Jusudera."
After saying this, the man disappeared completely.
"It seems there are still many things we don't know about in this singularity!"
Kotomine Shirou, who had remained silent until now, spoke slowly.
Shirou Kotomine felt an extremely terrifying threat from this Jusudera.
Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't understand his true identity, but Kotomine Shirou did.
He is the Grand Assassin.
It was also the most important part of the battle to defeat Tiamat.
Without him, there would have been no chance to defeat Tiamat.
"yes!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this.
However, this matter did not linger in Fujimaru Ritsuka's mind for long, and her attention soon turned to Kotomine Shirou.
"By the way, Shirou, what are you doing here!?"
Looking at Kotomine Shirou, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly asked excitedly.
Even if Shirou Kotomine hadn't appeared, the man who claimed to owe him a favor would have saved him.
But the sudden appearance of Shirou Kotomine still excited her.
"You're awake?"
Merlin, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and others all knew that Kotomine Shirou had returned.
There's nothing to hide.
However, Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others knew that Kotomine Shirou had become so engrossed in his research as soon as he returned that Merlin had even arranged for someone to stand guard in front of his door to prevent him from being disturbed.
That's why she was so surprised to see Shirou Kotomine.
"That's right!" Shirou Kotomine explained with a smile, "I just woke up and heard that you came to Kusa City to look for the Tablet of Destiny."
"7
"And I also heard about your legendary experiences during this time, so I thought your journey was so interesting that I came along."
"I saw you surrounded by corpses in the underworld as soon as I arrived in this area using my spatial abilities, so I rushed here to save you."
Using his spatial teleportation ability, Shirou Kotomine moves at an extremely fast speed.
When he finally came to the vicinity of Kusa City and brought it into his sights, Kotomine Shirou discovered that there was no trace of Fujimaru Ritsuka in Kusa City.
Then, remembering what Fujimaru Ritsuka had experienced, he immediately looked towards the underworld.
Because the underworld existed beneath the human realm during the Age of Gods, Shirou Kotomine, with his clairvoyant abilities, could naturally see what was happening in the underworld.
However, Shirou Kotomine usually doesn't dare to look towards the underworld.
After all, there are gods in the underworld.
Deities especially dislike being seen by people with clairvoyance.
Although Shirou Kotomine doesn't actually have clairvoyance, it's similar in nature.
Therefore, if he sees the goddess, she will immediately notice him.
He will inevitably be cursed by the goddess at that time.
Even Merlin, a master with EX-level clairvoyance, dared not use his clairvoyance to look at the goddess, so how could Shirou Kotomine dare to look down?
Fortunately, Fujimaru Ritsuka came down through the tunnel, so she wasn't far from the ground.
From that location, Shirou Kotomine could easily find her without actually seeing the goddess.
Upon discovering Fujimaru Ritsuka, Kotomine Shirou immediately teleported over.
"I see, thank you, Shirou!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka expressed her heartfelt gratitude.
After all, this was a life-saving favor.
"Don't mention it, we're friends."
Kotomine Shirou waved his hand and said.
"Then I won't be polite."
Fujimaru Ritsuka said with a smile.
With her excellent interpersonal skills, she could tell that this was Shirou Kotomine's true thought.
So she followed Kotomine Shirou's lead and became quite blunt.
However, she will remember this kindness firmly in her heart.
"Speaking of which, how should we get back now? The path I came from has completely disappeared."

Looking at the place she came from, Fujimaru Ritsuka said helplessly.
Is that road a one-way street?
Fujimaru Ritsuka was helpless.
"It's alright, I can use teleportation to take you out with me."
Kotomine Shirou comforted him.
Shirou Kotomine's spatial teleportation ability can not only be used by himself alone, but can also take others with him.
"That's great, let's leave quickly."
Seeing that there was a way to leave, Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately urged.
"You can leave anytime, but we must take that with us."
Shirou Kotomine pointed to the spot where Jusudra had just left.
There, a stone slab lay quietly.
"That is the Tablet of Destiny!"
Upon seeing this, Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
