What...
is that thing?
Impossible!
That's a really powerful person, Mr. Jack.
Yeah.
But what we must do hasn't changed.
Your command, Master.
Okay, then...
let's stop that person!
Where is the child with the Heroic Spirit within her body?
If we tell you, what will you do to them?
Of course, following the rules of the Holy Grail War...
I will face her...
and slaughter her.
Stop joking—
If you cannot answer, that is fine.
Don't get in my way.
If any stand in our way, bite them dead!
Dammit!
Who is that? Hey, wait!
Oh brother.
What's wrong? What's wrong, police force?
I'm in trouble if you don't put in more effort.
It'd be a problem for me, as well, if Tsubaki Kuruoka were to be murdered.
Some sort of demonic creature?
Ah well...
What is your problem?
Are you also what they call a "Dead Apostle"?
What...
is Cerberus doing?
The same face?
Who...
are these guys?
Ridiculous! This is...
There is nothing ridiculous about this.
I'm originally a slasher who claimed to have come from Hell.
Being repeatedly gnawed to death
by the guardian dog of hell is only appropriate.
To have the guardian dog of the underworld as your subject...
Can it be that Hades himself has materialized?
O weak one...
Never again compare me with the fools...
known as "the gods"!
Would you like to pay a price worse than death?
Pardon.
I apologize for trying to probe.
I see.
Indeed, you do not seem to be a god.
If you had any ties with gods,
I could have forcibly connected you to karma
and perhaps mimic that guise of yours.
But it seems that I cannot become you.
However, I understand your true nature.
Great hero who denies the gods.
I'd venture to say that once,
their blood flowed through your veins, as well.
Then, I shall treat you as a human.
And...
I shall kill you off...
as a human.
How about you come inside?
If you stay out in the open like that, they'll target you.
It's fine! I'd like to see Mr. Ja—
Mr. Berserker's hour of triumph...
without using Strengthening on my vision.
Oh?
That person wearing fur
seems to not only be a Heroic Spirit but is as strong as a Divine Spirit.
But Mr. Berserker won't lose to anyone here!
What am I doing? Get it together!
No need for intervention.
That is my prey.
Your job is to take custody of and protect Tsubaki Kuruoka.
Please don't waste the conviction of my Master in vain.
Weak one...
Tell me your name.
No name exists for me.
O great hero,
a living legend from mythology that continues to exist with the times...
A being who keeps living...
You must have some reason to harbor such determination.
However...
if you are saying you are going to deny the authority of the divine...
and you'll deny all doings of the gods, evil or good, and toss them all away...
then your current self is a human just as you wished.
You are a hero who has stooped to a scoundrel and risen to a human!
No matter what kind of great hero you are...
no matter if you have the power to destroy the world...
so long as your true nature is human...
you will be hunted by an ordinary slasher with no power.
From Hell.
Can it be...
Jack...
Jack...
It's Jack the Ripper!
The folklore of a powerless Anti-Hero
painting the night's shadows with fresh blood!
Not even the Night of Wallachia could catch up with his speed...
An incarnation of corruption propagating terror to the entire world!
You just can't get enough of this world!
My beautiful Assassin!
I offer this comical hell to you!
A demon...
I see.
This is what humans imagine when faced with a tragedy or ill will.
The manifestation of Hell that a warped desire brings forth.
There are just as many desires and fears as there are humans.
The center of this metropolis is the tastiest of hells for him.
Had I not known he was a Heroic Spirit,
I would have asked the Burial Agency to head over here.
Well...
I didn't expect this.
Without the blessing of Hades...
you're still beneath a Divine Beast.
Hmm?
So, you are here, powerful king.
The King of Heroes...
Gilgamesh!
They appear to be toying with you quite a bit, mongrel.
I thought I saw quite an outlandish sight and came by.
But to think your opponent was mere human delusions...
A quality piece of irony for you.
You amuse me quite well.
You may have the talent to become a clown.
What's with this?
This is ridiculous!
Oh no!
Wh-What the...
Hey!
What exactly is going on here?
Isn't this a bit different...
from what was planned?
Wasn't this supposed to be a covert operation?
The situation changed while we were in transit.
That's all.
I see. Then there's nothing we can do about that.
H-Hold on. Is that okay?
The Saber that broke out of jail?
That's...
Assassin!
Why?
Why is the beautiful Assassin's body not corrupted with my Magical Energy?
Goodness, I'm at a loss here!
Servants can summon man-eating fiends now?
"Man-eating fiend," you say.
Indeed, those are suitable words for my current state.
No, I'll take that back.
You seem to be a good guy.
Oh?
You're the second person to say that I am a good guy.
I see!
That person has a sure eye for things!
But...
it looks like this isn't a situation where we can waste time much.
I'm sorry, can I trust you with Ayaka?
I would like you to deliver her to that church over there.
What are you going to do?
I'm concerned about that Heroic Spirit covered in gold...
but that murky one was targeting the little girl, right?
Then, I have to stop him first.
No, I'd like you to take on the golden Heroic Spirit.
I will do something about that bowman.
I see.
