Chapter Twenty-Eight

Pride of a Degenerate

"Any news on the others?" Mineta asked as he was currently riding on Artemis's shoulders as he, Artemis, Aphrodite, and Demeter were currently on top of a large building surveying the area they were in.

"...Do you want the good news or the bad news?" Aphrodite asked. "Because so far, your classmates aren't doing so well seeing how Koda, Sato, Aoyama, Tokoyami, Momo, and Sero are dead." She said, which took the young man by surprise.

"Seriously!? How!?"

"Shy boy was killed by a servant that Lily was currently fighting, but was saved by Mina. The others were killed by an assassin servant and the knight that's giving off the same energy as Lily but different."

"And the others, where are they?"

"Aizawa, Iida, Toru, and Jirou are currently at the school with two servants. From what I can tell, they seem to be working together with them." The machine goddess said before blinking in surprise. "...Huh."

"What's wrong?" Demeter asked.

"Seems like another grand servant has appeared, and she's in the body of that Momo girl who died."

"Oh, that's wonderful!" Artemis said. "I mean about the grand servant and the girl being brought back to life."

"Can you see if the others are nearby?" Mineta asked as Aphrodite looked over at the area before noticing a beam of magical energy heading their way, but zoomed past them as it caused Mineta to fall backward. "What was that?"

"That would be the servant that I picked up a while ago," Aphrodite said as she squinted her eyes in the direction the blast came from. Once she had a good look at the scene she was watching, she saw Tsuyu currently limping backward with an arm missing as the servant who caused the blast was walking towards her. In the servant's hand was the dead body of Uraraka as she tossed her to the side. Around them was a combination of shattered ice, explosions, and dark-colored flames. Upon further inspection, she could see Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki who passed out on the ground injured. "Things are not looking good for them."

"What do you mean?"

"Uraraka is dead, Midoriya, Bakugo, and Todoroki are knocked out, and the frog girl is alive for the moment. Seems like the servant is about to kill her." She said before noticing Mineta taking a few steps towards the edge of the building he was on. "You're planning on saving her, aren't you?"

"Of course I am. She's my classmate after all." He said while clenching his fist. "I can't just stay here and watch them get killed. If sis were here, she would do all that she can to save them."

"Perhaps, but unlike Lily, you're not skilled enough to last long in a battle."

"That is true, but that doesn't mean we can't assist him in combat." Artemis said as Aphrodite raised an eyebrow at her. "Given the situation, we're in. We can't afford to have Mineta die on us. Especially with the beast that is here in this world. So if we want to survive this, helping Mineta out with this will come in handy in giving him a taste of combat. Plus, I prefer not to wait for another suitable host to appear...who knows how long that will take."

"...You make a valid point," Aphrodite said as she looked over at Mineta. "Normally I would be against having to do this, but seeing how we're in this mess because of the demon god pillar, I'll make an exception and help you say your friends. But once this is over, it's back to training like before. Are we clear?"
