Animusfia and Fujimaru Ritsuka followed the Spear of Ouranos and kept moving through the blood mist.

As they continued to go deeper, the blood mist surrounding them became thinner and thinner.

Eventually it disappeared.

The surrounding vision returned to clarity, and everything was as flat as the Siberian plains, covered in blood that was neither deep nor shallow. At a glance, there was only the horizon disappearing in the distance.

But when she looked up, there were no stars in the dark red sky. Animusfia was not even sure if there was a sky above her head.

It's not necessarily true that they are underground.

What appeared in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Animusfia was also a bottomless entrance.

Like a castle built underground, blood flowed down the stairs toward the entrance.

Animusfia stopped.

"Director, do we want to go in?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka tugged on Animusfiya's sleeve and asked.

"This is the only way now."

Animusfia rubbed her temple with her remaining right hand and looked at the Spear of Ouranos at her feet, which was constantly instructing her to move forward.

"I always feel like there's something ominous about it."

"This is a correct intuition." Animusfia looked back at the girl hiding behind her and continued:

"Think about it, how can the legendary vampire's Noble Phantasm, which killed hundreds of innocent virgins, become auspicious?"

"Well...that's true."

"Don't worry too much about your safety. Just walk close to the wall after entering. I have a way."

The two walked to the stairs, and a cold wind mixed with the sound of weapons being exchanged and howling blew from the entrance to them.

"Fujimaru-kun, now there is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"

The black magic power was released, and Animusfia and Fujimaru Ritsuka moved down close to the wall. The bright red brick surface was as moist as blood.

"...it's still good news."

"The good news is that there is more than one entrance to this place, and there is probably a battle happening below."

The depth of the blood pool at the girl's feet continued to deepen. Compared to Animusfia, Fujimaru Ritsuka was slightly shorter, so her movements gradually became more difficult.

"Could it be Matthew, Teacher Qiaoqiao and the others?"

"Very possible."

If there were no other entrances in this dungeon, it would be impossible for wind to blow from the inside out.

Her vision became dim, blood flooded Fujimaru Ritsuka's knees, and every step she took forward became extremely laborious.

Although for some unknown reason, Fujimaru Ritsuka's physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people. But when faced with Newton's third law, no one can escape.

"mercury"

Silver light lit up the bodies of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Animusfia.

"Oh! Thank you very much, Director."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Animusfia floated and continued to move forward.

The descending stairs have also come to an end, and the blood pool no longer continues to rise.

Like a T-junction, there is no longer a passage in front of Animusfia and Fujimaru Ritsuka, but instead there is a long corridor leading from left to right.

There are rooms symmetrically distributed on the left and right of the corridor, and the doors are closed.

Every so often, there is a ruby-like chandelier hanging under the vault of the corridor, its bright red light barely enough for humans to see.

But the lingering sense of darkness has become aggravated.

It's not that you can't see anything, but you can't see it clearly either.

Under the dim red light, I could barely see the outline of the object.

I'm afraid this is the city of Chakdis that Assassin Camilla was talking about.

"What about Director, what's the bad news?"

Animusfia stretched out her hand and pushed Fujimaru Ritsuka against the wall again.

"Hush, here comes the bad news."

The screams sounded far clearer than the sounds of battle.

“Gah——————————-”

The strange, spider-like humanoid creature that screamed and had no facial features tore apart Animusfia and Fujimaru Ritsuka who were walking in the corridor.

A large group of monsters followed it and trampled over the two broken bodies.

After passing through the rooms on the left and right of the corridor, the doors that were originally closed suddenly opened.

A spider-like humanoid monster emerged from every room, howling and following the monsters that continued to move forward.

The horrifying scene faded away.

But the broken body floating in the blood turned into black spots and disappeared.

The figures of Fujimaru Ritsuka and Animusfia leaning against the wall slowly appeared between the two doors.

Blood dripped from the chandelier drop by drop.

The girl put down her hands covering her mouth and nose, held her knees and gasped for air.

"Ha...ha...what on earth is that?"

Animusfia shook her head honestly and said:

"This is a place close to the inside of the world. It's normal for strange things to appear."

As he spoke, he pointed to the mercury star floating quietly on Fujimaru Ritsuka's shoulder and the Spear of Ouranos around his ankle.

Mercury Star blinked his eyes, expressing confusion.

"It's better to say that the two of us as humans are the strangest thing here."

"That's right, I almost made you two run away——————"

A strange voice came from the end of the corridor.

Animusfia turned to look at the place where the words came from.

The long blood-red hair was spread over the dark light armor like a waterfall. Riding on a creature that looked like a horse, the unknown girl slowly approached Animusfia.

"Hmph, [I] let in some strange people again. I obviously haven't even dealt with the other [me] yet."

Animusfia picked up the Spear of Ouranos surrounding herself and condensed magic power at the tip.

"I didn't expect to meet you so soon, assassin."

Although the appearance was inconsistent, Animusfia remembered clearly that only five people, including Assassin himself, entered Camilla's Noble Phantasm.

Mashu should be with Giorgios, and he is with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Then the servant in front of me can only be Camilla.

"Oh? Do you recognize me as [me]?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Animusfia gradually saw the true form of the horse-like creature.

The creature has two heads, front and back, just like conjoined twins with only an upper body and no legs, sharing an abdomen.

The lower jaw was removed, the teeth were pulled out, and saliva and blood dripped into the blood pool without any hindrance.

The hands are very slender, standing in the pool of blood like the legs of an antelope.

The godless eyes turned around like a chameleon.

The delicate face like a girl can't save people's perception of her at all.

Fujimaru Ritsuka originally thought that her Mercury Star was enough to challenge her imagination.

Comparing it now, the eye-ball creature that only weeps and scratches is like a domestic animal.

Even a little cute————
