Chapter 71 - Goodbye Jason

"I'm so damn screwed..."

Jason bit his fingernails, sweating profusely from panic.

"I say, Master, can't you calm down a bit? It's hard for me to get motivated to deal with them when you're like this."

Medea (Lily) sighed helplessly.

"Calm down? How do you expect me to calm down?! Heracles is dead! Even the invincible Heracles is dead, and my great cause is only halfway done... How do you expect me to calm down!"

Jason clutched his head, roaring loudly.

"Isn't there still Lord Hector? As long as he shows his true skills and regroups with us, everything will be fine!"

Medea encouraged Jason while taking two steps back.

"Oh! Right! There's still Hector! Where is he now?"

Jason's eyes lit up, turning his head to ask.

"Hmm, seems he has already died."

Medea said distressfully, pointing her smooth chin towards the location where Takumi had just rushed past.

"Hah?"

Jason was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looking in the direction Medea pointed.

Then he saw the four people including Takumi, who had already finished off Hector, rushing towards here at full speed.

Hector's level was at least that of a first-rate Servant. Although he definitely couldn't compare to Achilles, two average Servants might not necessarily be able to take him down.

Unfortunately, Takumi didn't play fair, using a full four people to fight Hector.

Takumi himself only needed to hold Hector back slightly at the front. He didn't even need to try as hard as before; the ranged units behind him were enough to turn Hector into a sieve.

After all, Hector wasn't a character like Heracles who was both a mechanism monster and a stat monster. Once hit in a vital spot, it was easy to die.

"Wahahaha, weren't you very arrogant just now? Weren't you very awesome? Hehe, now that Heracles and Hector have both exited, if you have the ability, go on and continue being awesome!"

Orion had put on a smug mask, standing on Artemis's shoulder, shaking his butt at Jason.

Although he himself didn't play a role in the entire battle and didn't even quite understand how they suddenly won (Takumi moved too fast, and didn't tell anyone else about the plan), this didn't prevent him from mocking Jason to the extreme.

Being mocked by Jason to his face earlier, he had endured it for too long!

"Good mockery! New mascot of the Golden Wild Hunt!"

Drake, who had found Jason an eyesore for a long time, backhandedly gave Orion a thumbs up.

I've had my eye on you for a long time, my internet mouthpiece!

If mocking like Orion wasn't undignified, she would definitely have joined in.

"What the hell is a mascot!"

Orion, feeling somewhat offended, couldn't help complaining.

"Mere plush bear..."

Jason was furious, gnashing his teeth and glaring at Orion. Not knowing his identity, he felt that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could jump in his face now!

"Hey! You should still have some strange items, right? Hurry up and give me... Uh?"

Jason ordered Medea without turning his head, but halfway through his sentence, he felt a sudden pain in his back.

At the same time, the strength of his body drained away at a rapid speed.

Jason turned his head in disbelief.

Behind him, the sweet-looking Medea was smiling, holding a strangely shaped dagger plunged into his back, right into his heart.

"Pfft! Indeed the Witch of Betrayal... to betray your own husband once again..."

Jason spat a mouthful of blood, his tone full of mockery and suppressed anger.

"Sigh, even if you always say that, I am just the Medea who hasn't truly completed the journey with you, or even finished my apprenticeship."

Looking at the furious Jason, Medea sighed distressfully and reminded him.

After speaking, Medea suddenly changed the topic.

"However, I also obtained the memories of that Medea you know. She seems to have no love for you, only anger."

Medea blinked, her tone instantly becoming cold.

"Are they... infighting?"

Artemis was a bit confused, looking simple-minded.

"Looks like it, but feels like it isn't..."

Euryale frowned.

She felt an ominous aura from Jason, especially now; it was getting stronger and stronger.

"Stop guessing; it's a Demon God Pillar. Prepare for battle."

Takumi didn't give others time to use their imagination, backhandedly stating the answer by looking at the walkthrough.

Medea's movements were very fast, probably prepared right after they finished off Hector. Takumi didn't have time to stop it. Moreover, this ritual to summon the Demon God Pillar was likely irreversible. Now they could only wait for the Demon God Pillar to come out, then fight another battle.

At the same time.

Feeling something inside his body, Jason finally understood everything.

"So you were lying to me from the very beginning. Sacrificing a god to the [Ark of the Covenant] doesn't grant invincible power at all, right—!?"

Jason's eyes were bloodshot, his voice squeezed out from between his teeth.

Not just because he was deceived—after all, was he deceived few times?

More importantly—he was actually controlled not long after appearing in the Singularity!

So many things done up to now were actually completed under someone else's interference...

Humiliation! This was humiliation even Jason could feel!

And this is all because of you, Witch of Betrayal!!

Jason's body began to distort, but his eyes glared furiously at Medea throughout.

If looks could kill, Medea would probably have died countless times.

"How can you say I lied to you? The Ark touching a god will cause the entire world to be destroyed. In other words, since everyone in the world is gone, aren't you invincible?"

Medea put on a surprised look.

Seeming confused about why Jason would think like that.

"Bullshit!"

Jason used his last bit of strength to curse loudly.

"Oh my, actually you don't need to be so angry. If we really talk about it, I was also very angry at your performance."

"After all, accompanying a silly guy all day to make trouble, and having to prevent him from doing stupid things, anyone would feel very tired, right?"

"Also, there is one thing I find very hard to endure—why is the power of the Holy Grail so pathetic in your hands? Even using a Holy Grail, you can only summon some Shadow Servants, not even much stronger than my Dragon Tooth Warriors!"

Medea got angrier as she spoke, her face turning dark at the end.

She had never seen a guy who could perform so poorly while holding a Holy Grail!
