Filial piety: the supreme emperor

"Even though you warned... [Crimson Ruler]!"

Before the Jack killers in the fog approached, Yi Mu first summoned his stand, the Crimson Ruler, in an attempt to use the Tombstone Language to find a way to escape.

However, the effort was in vain.

[Crimson Ruler] can indeed use [Erasure Time] to avoid attacks, but there are too many Jack killers at the moment. No matter how Yi Mu responds, he can foresee his tragic end of being devoured by the vengeful spirits in a few seconds.

“Why is this happening?”

Thousands of childish voices rang out from all directions, mixed with the dim lights and the gradually dissipating mist, and a long-lost sense of fear arose in Yi Mu's heart.

At this moment, he no longer knew them from a distance through the Internet or videos. Face-to-face contact made him fully understand the horror of Jack Killer. They were completely different from all the Heroic Spirits he had ever seen. Even Avenger Black Jeanne d'Arc, who subverted the definition of Heroic Spirits, seemed insignificant in front of them. They were the real anti-Heroic Spirits.

“Infamous BIG!”

There was no time to hesitate, it was time for the most cruel stand-in in the foggy city to take action.

Although it was only in the Second World, Yi Mu had to use the Command Spell. [Infamous BIG] alone could not prevent that moment from coming before time ran out. The future foreseen by [Tombstone Words] was bound to happen.

But Yi Mu chose to ignore it, because he was ready to [awaken]! Before that moment came, he had to repel the killer Jack at all costs.

Now is the time to rise up - with 100% determination.

“Only children ask why, I only think about how!”

"Take it. I'll show you the true power of the natural system, the human-shaped disaster!"

"Great Flame Ring, Flame Emperor!"

Yi Mu used the same moves as when attacking the Argo, but at full power, the Great Flame Ring: Flame Emperor seemed to have transformed into a completely new skill.

His target was not the ground, the stand was devouring Jack Killer's clone, and he was aiming at the sky shrouded in gray fog.

Teacher Kong has told him that this is the second treasure of Jack the Killer, [Mist of Darkness]. Combined with the changes in the environment, Yi Mu deduced that this is an inherent barrier.

Therefore, he wanted to break this barrier.

The Great Flame Ring and the Flame Emperor were like the rising sun. The dim street lamps melted instantly, houses collapsed one after another, and the haze was invisible under the flames.

The ragged girls disappeared one by one without turning into spirit particles, just like dissipating haze, until the spirit particle of the last girl gradually dissipated in the night sky.

“Is this the end?”

asked Jack Killer.

She did not shed tears or sigh, these emotions did not belong to her, but she vaguely felt something from Yi Mu's [100% Psychic Power].

“Will we meet again?”

Yi Mu opened his mouth to answer, but at this moment, the haze dissipated and the night sky instantly fell into purgatory.

Bats with human faces danced in the air, and imp-like flames drifted in the wind.

The surrounding scene became clearer, the big tree turned into a dead tree with a human face, and the building turned into a devil's cave with a strange laugh.

The tombstones rose from the ground, lighting up the surroundings like jack-o'-lanterns and making funny laughter.

Countless shadows crossed each other, Yi Mu looked up and saw the real [devil].

Huge horns, stone wings, blue-purple skin.

Sharp long claws, slender tail, and strong hooves.

[The evil fog from hell will be destroyed with the dawn of London (From the Abyss)]

This is a fantasy type treasure that is based on the legend that "Jack the Slayer is a demon" and can change his form into that of a demon.

Obviously, this treasure does not belong to the girl who just disappeared, but to another Jack Killer. It is quite ironic to distinguish which Jack Killer is.

Jack the Killer is a doctor.

Jack the Killer is royalty.

Jack the Killer is a painter.

Jack the Killer is an ordinary man.

These are lies, but also facts. In the current situation where there are all kinds of rumors and speculations, it is almost impossible to reveal the true face.

It could be anyone or no one. It could be anyone or no one.

The key is that the possibilities are endless. At this point, Jack the Killer, as the Anti-Heroic Spirit, has manifested all possibilities in the real world, and the behavior patterns of the two Heroic Spirits are obviously different.

The girl represents the legendary cruel innocence. In essence, she is the collective resentment of abandoned babies of that era. Their goal is to find their mother and return to her arms.

When Yi Mu saw the Jack Killer in front of him, he was confused by his ease of communication when he was watching FSF. Now that he saw the [Innocent Monster] treasure, he understood.

This Jack Killer is a poor guy who was classified as a "possible" Jack Killer due to his suspicious behavior and lost his real name.

But it is precisely because of the loss of their names that they cherish the name Jack the Killer so much and desire the Holy Grail so much.

When the demon's claws swung down towards Yi Mu, he knew that this opponent's determination was equal to his.

"Forging people's fear into demonic power in exchange for powerful strength, Jack the Ripper, do you still remember the original intention of finding your real name!"

Facing the demon's sharp claws coming towards him, Mu Yi tapped the ground lightly. Instead of retreating, he faced the challenge head-on.

Around his body, the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit was like a raging wind and fire, and the air seemed to be on fire. Mu Yi turned into a ball of blazing flames and rushed towards his opponent bravely.

At the moment when the demon exerted his strength, Mu Yi noticed that the other's chest was slightly bulging, and the sound of the wildly beating heart echoed all around.

"——!"

Mu Yi avoided the attack and noticed that the other party's heartbeat accelerated. The demonized Jack the Ripper's eyes flashed with a strange red light.

However, Mu Yi did not allow him to make the next move and slammed into the opponent's chest. Flames and strength intertwined and instantly penetrated the demon's body.

The blood did not gush out, for the demon's blood vessels had been burned to ashes by the blazing flames when Mu Yi penetrated its internal organs.

"boom!"

With a low crashing sound, the demon fell to the ground.

Before Mu Yi had time to catch his breath, a hellish roar came from the blind spot behind him, and a blazing ray pierced through his body like revenge.

“Woo…poof!”

Mu Yi spat out a mouthful of blood. Even though he had been elementalized beforehand, the high concentration of magic rays still caused him severe damage.

He quickly turned around to see another demon that looked identical to the one he had just killed flying through the air.

"You made a mistake in judgment. Defeat the illusion! We did not become like this by choice. It was humans who gave us birth from legends. You are also a human. Give up. You cannot defeat us. Your end will only be to become a victim of our Holy Grail journey."

Looking at this demon, Mu Yi realized that although these two Jack the Rippers each represented a part of the legend, their treasures might have something in common.

Sure enough, when he shifted his gaze, what he saw was an even darker scene of hell.

Countless Jack the Ripper armies incarnated as demons, hundreds of demons overlooking the ground from the sky, this scene is so horrifying that even nightmares cannot compare to it.

This is Jack the Ripper's second weapon, [Natural Born Killers].

Used alone, this is just a treasure that summons a large number of clones. Each clone can be regarded as the original body. No matter how many clones die, or even if the original body disappears, as long as there is one alive, it will automatically become the new body.

When [Natural Born Killers] and [From Hell] are activated together, a hellish scene appears before your eyes.

In a normal Holy Grail War, the number of clones is limited by the maximum magic power provided by the Master. If two Noble Phantasms are used at the same time, the number of clones will be even smaller, but even so, the combined power of these two Noble Phantasms is still amazing.

When Flatt was the Master of Jack the Ripper, despite his limited magical powers, he was able to easily summon over two hundred demons, and at one point suppressed Alcides (Hercules).

The situation is even more terrifying now. There is only Jack the Ripper left. The authority of the space controller has been restored, and it has obtained the magic power supply of this world.

“The fire…ugh!”

Mu Yi confirmed the number of enemies, but before he could act, the hot rays poured down. He could only give up the attack and dive into the house next to him.

But it was of no use, the demons instantly tore the house apart with their sharp claws.

It didn't matter if he hit his own people, and it didn't matter if he didn't hit them either. The demon incarnation of Jack the Ripper used this simple and crude method to put Mu Yi in a situation where he couldn't breathe.

"You will have nowhere to escape sooner or later. Prepare to die. We are about to attack the third floor."

Jack the Ripper, who was flying in the front, laughed hoarsely, and the entire demon army followed with deafening laughter.

"..."

Mu Yi did not respond, nor did he turn around to look at Jack the Ripper who was provoking him. He just kept running, knowing that if he continued to hide like this, he would be the first to lose.

But he had to buy more time—

"boom!"

One demon suddenly accelerated and grabbed Mu Yi with its sharp claws. The other demons instantly fired hot rays in all directions where he might hide. They knew they could not catch the enemy who was the incarnation of fire, and they just wanted to consume his strength.

This situation has happened many times, and Jack the Ripper thought that this time would be like the previous time, Mu Yi would turn into fire to destroy the demon attacking him, and then use that demon's body to block the rays of other demons, but an accident happened.

"Roar--!"

A deafening roar came from the distance, and that place was exactly where Jack the Ripper intercepted Mu Yi.

“You…did what…?”

Jack the Ripper saw a huge creature appear through the individual behind him. When the creature instantly swallowed up the scouting individual at a speed inconsistent with its size, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Is it finally here...

Mu Yi did not answer Jack the Ripper, but looked into the distance, where appeared exactly——

The story continues. Someone asked me if I would become a eunuch. It is impossible for me to become a eunuch, even if Mu Yi was killed by a meteorite (of course he would not be killed by a meteorite). The ending of this book is easy to write and can be concluded at any time. Can anyone guess what the ending is? ...
