I can't wait to see Levgetia see Mash's collapse as she becomes a Dead Apostle!
Chapter 4 What is human awareness and steely resolve? It's just a cricket's blood-sucking impulse.
Dead apostle.
Another interpretation is that vampires are beings that are rejected by the world and ostracized by people.
Its immortality, its defilement of the soul and body, and its trampling of humanity's will to live and die.
""
Galahad's spirit silently watched the purple orb of light.
He withdrew his outstretched hand, falling into hesitation and silence.
The Immaculate Knight could not accept the idea of sacrificing himself for survival, even if the goal was salvation. He believed that a knight should die nobly, not live a life of dishonor. But even so, he could not bear to watch Mash face the despair of having to choose between being a Dead Apostle and being a dead man.
There is no right or wrong in choices, only a decision made in a split second.
The experiment of fusing humans and Heroic Spirits is no more humane than humans falling into the Dead Apostles; on the contrary, it is far more cruel and evil.
Died in the past (Heroic Spirits), live in the present (humans), exist in the future (Dead Apostles).
"If that's the case, then a high-ranking disciple recognized by the True Ancestor—"
"There is still value in saving them."
Dead Apostles all possess a certain degree of principle, which in layman's terms is "superpower." However, the principle is not simply a transcendent power; rather, it changes depending on the life form that holds it—to use an inappropriate analogy, it is something that is similar to but not quite the same as "origin."
Generally speaking, high-ranking Death Apostles, such as those at the seventh or eighth rank, possess a concept of principles. Furthermore, some Death Apostles thoroughly study these principles and can even unleash a "Principle Blood Ring" similar to a "Realistic Boundary".
The concept of the Blood Ring is a grand magic that incorporates the so-called World Egg from magic theory and the Seed of the Law of Physical Law (the principle).
Unable to save Mash physically, Galahad could not simply allow her to completely transform into a Dead Apostle who denies human history.
Only by starting from the principles can we succeed.
""
Galahad closed his eyes, and the purple light transformed into a spirit, slowly merging into the pink-haired girl's body.
When reality conflicts with a knight's oath and code, simply follow your heart.
Dead Apostles are merely outward manifestations; what truly needs to be protected is the pure and innocent soul.
As a guardian knight, he could not stand idly by.
"I'm sorry, Mashu, I'm so sorry."
Fujimaru Ritsuka's throat seemed to freeze; she couldn't utter a single word, only repeating indistinct syllables.
His breath was hot and fiery, like flames.
Are you scared?
When the princess bestowed this power upon her, Fujimaru Ritsuka was not afraid.
She was the only one affected, and she did indeed want to use this power to do something.
As the saying goes, "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown," so perhaps this is a good thing.
"Senior... what are you doing...?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka's teeth sank deep into the snow-white neck of the pink-haired girl with bangs, and the sweet and wonderful scent of blood surged into her brain, violently assaulting Fujimaru Ritsuka's will.
My throat is so dry.
He bent down, wanting to fully enjoy the sweet blood of the virgin girl.
Delicious!
It's so delicious it's almost unbelievable, you can't help but be addicted.
Is this the blood-sucking urge the princess was talking about?
Fujimaru Ritsuka felt that kind of pleasure and ecstasy for the first time, as if she were floating on air, detached from the world, about to ascend to heaven!
"Senior, it's so hot... I'm so hot, senior... I feel restless..."
Mashu was breathing heavily, feeling dazed and as if she had a high fever.
Is this what they call Dead Apostleification?
Mashu's pink eyes were shrinking, and her aura was becoming increasingly sweet and alluring.
"I'm so hot! Senior—!"
Mashu's body was visibly recovering, with pure white lines slowly spreading across her graceful and voluptuous figure, radiating a soft glow.
—Family members, recognized by the True Ancestor Royal Family, are endowed with pure-blooded power.
Mashu became such a high-ranking Dead Apostle because of Fujimaru Ritsuka's urgent desire to save people.
Just a little bit more... just a little bit more.
Just a little more, just a little more...
Fujimaru Ritsuka felt the whispers of a demon lingering in her mind, and the urge to drink blood made her want to suck Mash's sweet blood.
——! ! !
Is this the price to pay?
Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly woke up!
The price of saving lives is so terrifying, it's like taking drugs!
stop!
We must stop!
No matter what, even if it's excruciating, you have to stop.
But it hurts so much, it really hurts so much.
Only by drinking blood can this urge be suppressed.
Impossible, human.
It's hard for a human to resist this bloodsucking urge...that's why I'm telling you to be prepared.
The princess couldn't help but sigh slightly, perhaps with some disappointment.
Indeed, the idea of humans and planets working together is nothing more than a beautiful fairy tale.
Humans resent the planet, and the planet resents humanity. The current peace is merely a false balance, and one day it will lead to an abyss of no return.
"Waaah...waaah...I can hold it in."
"Princess, don't underestimate me, hehe!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka, with bloodshot eyes and blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, wore a smile.
Her moist lips left Mashu's neck, and her protruding sharp teeth were being forcibly pulled back in an unbelievable way!
It was suppressed... Why was it suppressed?!
He has no special abilities; even his extraordinary power was bestowed upon him by the princess.
However, it is not possible to achieve this solely through human will, human madness, or human perseverance.
Fujimaru Ritsuka suppressed her violent urge to suck blood!
"You actually..." The princess was surprised and didn't know what to say for a moment.
"I thought you didn't have any emotions, Princess. You always have such a cold attitude. I thought you were the kind of person who was aloof and indifferent."
Fujimaru Ritsuka knelt on the ground, panting heavily.
She looked up at the scorching ceiling and smiled triumphantly.
You're getting too cocky too soon. This is just the beginning. The urge to suck blood isn't so easy to suppress. If you don't want to go berserk, you'd better be more careful in the future.
"You're just being stubborn, aren't you, Princess?" Fujimaru Ritsuka blinked. "But thank you for your warning and concern."
Idiot, no.
In reality, Miss Earth Princess is just a clumsy young lady who is naive and ignorant of the ways of the world.
Their true personality is more naive than they imagine.
The princess fell silent and said no more.
Fujimaru Ritsuka watched as the pink-haired girl gradually recovered and her body underwent subtle changes.
Her body began to move slowly, and a trace of color returned to her pale face.
"I'm sorry, senior... I've let you down."
She lowered her eyes apologetically.
The senior looked to be in great pain. If he hadn't been on the verge of death, he wouldn't have taken such a risk to forcibly save himself.
Mashu felt very guilty.
"No, it's really not easy for Mashu to have lasted this long. Besides, I'm the one who should apologize. I forced Mashu into this form, so... as long as you don't resent me, I'll be happy."
Fujimaru Ritsuka bit her lower lip and smiled brightly.
"No, no, no, I should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, I would be dead by now. But you, I don't know what happened to you, but you seemed to be in a lot of pain just now. Are you really alright?"
“No problem!” Fujimaru Ritsuka gave an OK sign.
As long as Mashu didn't die, that would be great.
The blonde girl held the pink-haired girl's hand tightly, her gaze fixed on the fiery Earth radiating intense light.
Chaldea.
It was a device made in imitation of the soul of a planet, capable of observing human history and the future.
A cold, mechanical female voice came from the loudspeaker behind the two of them.

Chapter 5 The Star Girl Dislikes Human Culture
Her consciousness was in a daze, and Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't have time to understand what had happened.
In the blink of an eye, it was as if the person had fallen into a deep sleep.
Having just recovered from her intense urge to drink blood, Fujimaru Ritsuka finds herself amidst rows of abandoned buildings, resembling a 21st-century Japanese city. The gloomy sky and blood-red world make her feel as if she has arrived at the end of the world.
"Master!"
A sound came from beside my ear.
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked to the side and saw a black, dark armor, engraved with blood-red and pure white patterns, as if a girl dressed in black, red and white had appeared beside her.
The girl's bangs framed one eye, while the other eye looked incredibly resolute.
