Chapter 131 FGO
After spending time with the deities Hestia invited as well as spending a few hours with Freya to make sure she didnt feel like I was ignoring her as she didnt like spending times around large crowds and whenever we hosted a party, she typically had her own little get together with the more quiet and relaxed members of our Familia's, like Tamayo, Haruhime, and Ryuu.
But after the party was over and having spent a couple days with my Familia members and having gotten a good grounding for the Sun Breathing style from Tanjiro.
It was time I moved on to my goal after learning about the side stories in Danmachi being real, I need to get the chains of Enkidu or Medea's Rule Breaker to save Artemis when she finally rolls around which probably won't take long at this point.
Hestia and Freya both decided to see me off and we made plans for me to come back even if for a short amount of time with Bell's wedding being set in two weeks which gave everyone plenty of time to setup and it was obviously going to be a huge affair with how excited all the goddesses living with grounds were.
"Can't you just stay and push deeper into the dungeon Jake." Hestia groused as she attempted to cripple my spine with a back breaking hug that way I could never flee while Freya who typically wore a gentle smile around me was pouting as well hearing how I was off to another world which I said was going to be far more dangerous.
"Hestia, the new members of the Familia need to level up and get Abnormal Resistance if we want to keep pushing into the forest floors and Bell can also take this chance to actually earn his Co-Captain status." I was also going to mention about how this could also help him mature more but... The fifteen-year-old young man has already snagged a wife and got her preggers soooo I shouldn't say anything to be honest.
Freya gently took Hestia away from me and buried the shorter woman into her chest as Freya pet her head and gave me a quick kiss on my lips. "Jake I look forward to your triumphant return... Bring back glory and tales to share with us." Freya's eyes closed lightly as she chuckled with Hestia trying to unbury her face from Freya's exposed cleavage.
"Also please bring back Hestia a souvenir or something. If you don't, and forget Hehe..." That menacing light giggle as the goddess of war carried the short goddess back in under her arms not caring about her image with everyone busy with other stuff made my heart flutter at the sight before I paled realizing Freya may already be getting mood swings finally from her pregnancy.
With a heavy heart my vison was clouded with the deep impenetrable mist that accompanied my traveling abilities.
All my armor and weapons flashed into my hands and onto my body as I readied myself to possibly be smote out of existence as I broke into the Nasuverse and there was a change as the mist covered ground beneath me rumbled angrily but it soon subsided and I was blasted with a hot dry heat.
"Fuck..." I muttered dryly as I took in the sight of the Chaldea main chamber where the ray shifting happens in ruins with large stone pillars on the ground and large fires roaring in the background.
"NEW HUMAN FOUND IN RAYSHIFTING ROOM ALONG SIDE LAST SURVIVING MASTER... EMERGENCY DRAFT ACTIVATED!" A loudspeaker blared out and similar to when Hestia was fiddle fucking with my soul when she leveled me up, I felt something attach itself to my soul and my vision started to go white.
"RAYSHIFT LOCKED ONTO FUYUKI CITY, TARGETED SINGULARITY 'F'
But before I was taken away, I saw a mop of orange hair franticly looking around and when she met my eyes she waved franticly to me, but before I could fly over to her, I was swept away with a wormhole opening in front of my eyes and the two of us were dragged into it.
-
I was thrown out of the portal at a high-speed high above what looked to be a burning city and it was only the bright white uniform that allowed me to see what should have been the protagonist to FGO falling to her death as she plummeted to the ground only a few meters away from and above me with her hands outstretched upwards as though she could grab hold of the smoke-filled clouds above us.
I forced a large amount of mana into my jet boots and launched myself at the falling figure as we fell toward the ground and I was able to wrap my arms around her and she did the same as I gently peeled off and shot towards the ground as a couple bright flames flying through the sky is all to easy of a target should Archer feel like shooting a pot shot at me.
"Hold on." I muttered to the woman desperately holding onto me and I was proven right as I had to franticly spin in the air as the dragon tooth warriors beneath started shooting powerful bone arrows at me at speeds that would give level three archers trouble matching.
"I am going to puke!" The woman cried pitifully as I heard her gag against me and with her legs and arms wrapped around me tightly, I could literally feel her chest and stomach convulsing as she gagged with my arial maneuvers to bring us safely to the ground.
I finally managed to bring us down into a walled off back yard with thick looking stone walls so I thought it would be safe for now and I went into full caretaker mode as I gently patted and rubbed the orange haired womans back as she spat away some of the stomach acid that came up.
"Wait who are you!" The woman said obviously trying to be alert and put distance between us... But you can't really be on guard against a person who helped hold back your hair as you puked out your guts.
If someone wanted to hurt or do anything to you then that would have been the literally perfect opportunity.
For a spilt second, I considered doing the same nameless gig as I did in Harry Potter, but I had plans to be here for a long while so I didnt mess around especially with how we were in a literal apocalypse. "My name is Jake Barris and I guess you can say I literally landed at Chaldea at the worst possible time to join..." I said dryly as I honestly wanted to save Olga if I could as she would certainly make a potent spell caster to join the Familia in time and see if I could simply kill Flauros without having to deal with a much nonsense down the road.
"Oh my name is Fujimaru Ritsuka. You just joined Chaldea today like I did huh... Then why did I not see you during the training seminar and registration." She questioned though it was obvious that she had relaxed her guard a good deal against me.
A loud explosion interrupted me, and I saw Fujimaru's command seals flicker and dim lightly as she stared off at the site of the explosion which kicked up a lot of smoke into the air.
"Fujimaru, quick use a command seal to summon your servant here. I think they are fighting and if the way the command seals are dimming, they are probably hurt." I said in a rush
Thankfully Fujimaru didnt question me only breathing deeply and I saw a number of magic circuits on the girl's arm flare up in green light and make the one of the dimming commands seals glow brightly and a flash of light blurred our vison as a form collapsed onto the ground.
"Ah hell..." I cursed as I saw the bloodied form of Mashu Kyrielight collapse onto the ground holding onto a large gash across her chest and luckily didnt actually cut her breasts off as the wound went between them from her left side of her waist to her right shoulder.
I gently moved the lavender haired woman's head into my lap and put a healing elixir into her mouth and started massaging her throat to make her swallow the elixir making the woman groan as the elixir snatched her from death and made her aware of the agony that was having a high tier elixir fix your nerves at rapid speeds while it heals the rest of your body.
"I though Mashu died at Chaldea..." Fujimaru rasped obviously disturbed at the sight of Mashu's wounds healing at a fast speed courtesy of my elixir and the nature of a Servant body.
I shook my head in answer. "She has become a demi servant. I am not too sure of all the particular details but for now you need to let her rest and I need to fly off to see if anyone else survived alright." Fujimaru nodded and I carried Mashu inside the once nice house that was clearly a bit wrecked but seeing how it wasn't on fire...
I grabbed Fujimaru by her shoulder and stared at her deeply as I spoke seriously. "Listen this place is very dangerous and without Mashu or another Servant, you a person without combat training will die easily. So, stay here and don't make noise if you can help it." I then dropped off a couple provisions like a water cask and a chilled box filled with sandwiches to tide her over if it takes me an hour or two to find people.
I needed to see I could find Cú Chulainn and Olga Marie Anusmisphere, as Saber/Artoria Alter with her infinite mana from the grail likely would kill me unless I got lucky with coating my sword with some of the toxins from the creatures I have killed and fused together.
Not to mention her Simp Chef, Emiya who went emo and will shoot a massive arrow/sword into me if I go to clap Salter.
