"Huff~ huff~"
The Death Blow was not a large-scale attack, but the unrestrained power completely blasted the enemy's body into pieces.
But Lancer didn't have the presence of mind to pay attention to this, because at this moment, he felt as if his entire body's muscles were torn apart. Both arms were incredibly heavy, making it impossible to lift them, and both legs were as heavy as lead, forcefully nailed to the ground. But he gritted his teeth and walked forward again, because the 'System' still hadn't prompted him that the enemy was completely killed.
Although the will can drive the body, the so-called 'Death Blow' is an all-out effort, including not only physical strength but also mental strength. Although he wanted to walk forward, his body suddenly swayed and almost fell. But at this moment.
"Lancer!"
"Mr. Lancer!"
His left arm was pulled by a figure even taller than himself, and his right side and back were propped up by people using their bodies.
There is no doubt that when they noticed Lancer abnormal state, Amon Koutarou, Suzuya Juuzou, and Akira Mado all rushed out. However, Akira Mado suddenly stopped with a somewhat complicated expression after taking a single step, but at that moment, a hand suddenly pressed against her waist.
"Go."
Mado Kureo smiled and said to Akira Mado, then said no more. Akira Mado bit her lip, nodded to her father, and then jogged over.
Seeing Akira Mado jogging away, Mado Kureo wanted to reach out but ended up subconsciously reaching into his chest and taking out a slightly faded silver pendant.
"Click~"
The pendant was opened, and Mado Kureo looked at the slightly faded photo and showed a rare look of relief.
"My dear... I did it..."
And at this moment, several hands were placed on his shoulder. Looking at his old buddies, Mado Kureo also smiled and shook his head, signaling them not to worry.
Lancer, on the other side, was stunned when he saw Amon Koutarou, Akira Mado, and Suzuya Juuzou, who was peeking out from under his arm. But before he could speak, Amon directly spoke, cutting him off.
"We are friends."
A very simple sentence made Lancer swallow the words he originally wanted to say.
However, he didn't notice the somewhat complicated look in Akira Mado's eyes, who was standing on the other side, when Amon said this sentence.
'We are friends... are we...'
"Help me over, Amon."
Although Lancer didn't directly say where, Amon Koutarou also guessed where it was, after all, there was only one place to go now.
Countless Kakuhou exploded and completely covered the entire underground space, but in the very center, there was still a constantly writhing mass of Kakuhou. The speed of its writhing became faster and faster as Lancer and his team approached, until it transformed back into the appearance of 'Kamishiro Rize' when the four people arrived in front of it.
"I don't want to die! Please! Let go..."
Unfortunately, what greeted her was a black lance.
Indeed, Lancer could not learn the ability to directly summon weapons like Cú Chulainn or the Master, but his weapon could transform into a young girl and run back on its own!
'Zero' had already run back earlier, and it seemed to have noticed Lancer abnormality. It did not directly turn into a lance as usual. Instead, it walked behind the four people until Lancer needed to use it, at which point it transformed back into the black lance flashing with terrifying red light.
Lancer could feel that the 'creature' in front of him truly just wanted to live now, but unfortunately, Lancer could not allow it to live. Because the opponent's ability was simply too bizarre, and Lancer could not guarantee its safety, so he chose to be 'selfish.'
To protect his teacher and his friends, he only had one choice------to let it die.
"I'm sorry..."
Lancer apology was not perfunctory. His hands were already stained with blood, but he had never forgotten why his hands were stained. He had to bear the corresponding price for every life he took, and he had already prepared for this world.
"Devour it, Zero!"
The black spearhead instantly split into several ferocious Kakuhou and pounced towards 'Kamishiro Rize' on the ground, and 'Kamishiro Rize,' who had been begging for her life, instantly showed a hysterical and frantic expression.
"Get lost!!"
If the current scene were listed purely, it would be a bit morbid, as countless black 'tentacles' were attempting to devour a completely naked adult female, but unfortunately, everyone present had solemn expressions and did not say a word, because they knew it had to be done.
It wasn't until 'Zero' completely devoured 'Kamishiro Rize' that Lancer received two system messages.
[Killed SSS-rank Ghoul Variant: Dragon
Gained 5000 Points]
[Acquired Special Achievement: Beast Hunter]
[Beast Hunter - Requirement: Kill 2 giant enemies with panel attributes surpassing your own by 3 times and volume exceeding 50 times.]
[Reward: Title - Beast Hunter]
[Effect: Easier to find the enemy's vital points when facing giant enemies.]
Two behemoths?
This 'Dragon' in front of him was undoubtedly one of them, so what about the other one?
Lancer quickly found the other one in his memory. After all, it had only been about a month since that incident.
The other 'victim' was the legendary divine beast summoned by the Black Faction's Assassin during the Holy Grail War, but the opponent was extremely unlucky to encounter the three kitties who also acquired 'Heroic Spirit' status because of Lancer.
Lancer highly suspected that these three kitties possessed 'Beast Hunter' or 'Monster Hunter' type Noble Phantasms or innate skills. Otherwise, how could that terrifying poison-attributed divine beast be killed so easily?
And the three kitties' combat achievements, as Lancer 'partners,' were naturally counted towards Lancer achievement.
"Is it finally over..."
Lancer mood had fluctuated wildly over the short span of three days. Even someone as strong as him felt a tremendous sense of exhaustion due to physical weakness at this moment.
But just as he was talking to himself, a voice suddenly came from beside his ear.
"Although I don't want to say it, our work is probably not completely over. Although we seem to have solved the 'Source of Chaos,' the figures of those 'monsters' have appeared in all 23 wards of Tokyo, and even in the outer cities of Tokyo. We must rush back now to support other units."
When he first heard the first half of the sentence, Lancer heart suddenly leaped. He was truly afraid that Akira Mado would tell him that he had actually only killed the first small BOSS, and there were still medium BOSSes, Four Heavenly Kings, Captains of the Royal Guard, and other enemies coming up.
"Let's go back. After completely solving these monsters, all of this will finally come to an end..."
