Earth Princess? No, it's Fujimaru Ritsuka!

The reason was that when the red figure leading the charge down from the hill revealed a form that Fujimaru Ritsuka recognized yet was not entirely familiar with, the berserker completely ignored Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, who had suddenly appeared on the battlefield, and continued to roar.

"Ugh... Yu Mei's daughter... Ugh...!"

"My dearest, Yu's daughter..."

"Nero ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!"

The berserker in golden armor roared, a sound so terrifying that even Mashu shrank back in fear at the morbid roar.

“Senior, I feel like I’m seeing a familiar scene—I can only say it’s a bit like Lancelot and Mr. Gillespie.”

“That’s right,” Fujimaru Ritsuka agreed.

"But he seemed to have mentioned Nero's name just now. Could that girl be the fifth Roman emperor...?"

"It can't be the Devil May Cry one, can it?"

"Ah, right... But just now, in a daze, I thought I saw Artoria and Jeanne d'Arc."

What kind of situation is this?!

The same face has appeared again! Is this some kind of divine joke?!

However, at this point, such things seem less important—because the golden berserker seemed to completely disregard the soldiers' fighting and instead charged madly towards the beautiful woman in red!

The woman in red, or rather, Her Majesty Nero, also showed a shocked expression the moment she saw the berserker.

"Uncle?"

"Wait...why did my uncle come back to life and appear here?"

After a brief moment of doubt, Nero raised his fiery red sword: "No matter what, even if the other party is my uncle, I will never give up the glory of the emperor—since you are on the side of the Allied Forces, then I will not forgive your sins."

The crimson Rose Emperor and her mad uncle clashed in a brief confrontation.

However, there is no doubt that even as the emperor of the Age of Gods, Nero, being human, would still find it quite difficult to defeat Caligula, who was a Servant.

"So, which side should we support, senior?"

"It should be Nero... because Nero should be in power now, right?"

"Makes sense."

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu exchanged a glance and then made a decision.

— Help His Majesty Nero, who has a familiar face, and then take down his seemingly eccentric and crazy uncle.

Although they still didn't understand the current situation of this singularity, it was not a bad idea to protect Nero and find out more later. As for Mashu, ordinary soldiers had no way to stop her. She charged towards Caligula's shield with her huge shield raised.

呲~~

The red longsword of the Primordial Flame radiated a captivating brilliance, but even such a sharp blade trembled slightly under Caligula's attack. Cracks appeared in the ground beneath Nero's feet, and half of his foot even sank into the ground—the difference in strength was so obvious.

"Oh...oh...I offer it all...I offer...my sister's daughter..."

"Uncle, do you... have nothing else to say besides these nonsense?"

"Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-!"

Caligula was slightly taken aback, and in his haste, he attacked wildly with both hands, which made it difficult for Nero, who had some discipline in swordsmanship, to defend himself. This was unavoidable, as Nero Claudius, being a living person, had not obtained the power of a Heroic Spirit. Although he was able to exchange blows due to his daily training and being a human from the Age of Gods, he could not ultimately defeat him no matter how hard he tried.

"Hmm, really... when did Uncle become so strong..."

"However, I will never give up, even if it means dying here—"

A resolute and determined look flashed in Nero's eyes. This land was her kingdom, and it was absolutely impossible for her to give up and surrender!

"Please don't give up, Your Majesty Nero!"

Keng!

The sturdy shield blocked Caligula's fist, and with the impact, the pink-haired girl stood guard in front of Nero.

Mash Kyrielight, attack!

"Who are you--?"

"We can discuss anything else with you later. For now, let's focus on the enemy at hand."

"That's right, I was indeed abrupt. You sudden hero, now I will fight alongside you—let's go!"

Nero rallied her forces, and after catching her breath, she reignited the primordial fire.

"Master, I wish to engage in a Servant battle. Please give the order!"

Mash's eyes gleamed with determination. The reason she said this to Fujimaru Ritsuka was that she wanted to do her part to resolve the singularity and the crisis of humanity. Therefore, she made a request for a Master-Master battle, which is a battle method in which the Master only assists from the side, and the Servant takes the lead in fighting against the enemy Servant.

"Master battle?"

"Please watch my fighting style carefully, senior!"

"Good luck, Mash. I'll help you out. But don't push yourself too hard."

"Understood, senior!"

Mashu was in high spirits and entered battle mode with great enthusiasm.

As the shield blocked Caligula's attack, Emperor Nero suddenly appeared from the side, his swift sword slashing mercilessly at Caligula's neck.

Since ancient times, the imperial family has been the most ruthless. There can only be one sun in the sky and one ruler in a country. The Roman Empire could only have one emperor.

Caligula sensed danger and was about to defend himself against Nero's attack when Mash appeared with her shield raised, closing in on him.

"Mash, Shield Charge!"

"understand!"

Crimson magic was infused into the shield, causing it to flare with red flames.

then!

Nero practically glued to Caligula as he launched his attack, and because of his inherent abilities, Caligula couldn't spare any energy to counterattack! He roared as he defended and dodged, and as Nero's sword pierced his shoulder, Mash's shield sent him flying!

However, Caligula had no choice but to passively accept the attacks.

because

—You must attack this Shielder who is taunting first!

Chapter 51 Realization of Illusion [The Evil Dragon of Orleans]

Caligula's power, on paper, should be a terrifying A+.

In other words, based on the data alone, he could easily crush Nero's cute little head into a mangled watermelon with one hand.

But in fact, perhaps because he still retained a tiny bit of rationality, or perhaps because this uncle, even in his madness, still had an insane fondness for his sister's daughter... he still held back.

"Your Majesty, leave the defense to me. You can focus on counterattacking... If it were a senior officer giving commands..."

We will definitely win!

Mash fought bravely and even forced Caligula to retreat, but by the time Caligula reacted, the powerful force had weakened Mash's attack considerably.

He roared furiously, his fists carrying terrifying force, threatening to tear Mash to shreds in the next second! He gripped the scorching hot shield, now infused with magic, his eyes bloodshot!

However, there was no way around it; Mash's shield had a brief period of invincibility.

At this moment, the shield warrior's advantage becomes apparent: he uses his right hand and shoulder to support the shield against the monster, whose strength far exceeds his own.

The hardness is that of Joan of Arc.

Despite Mashu's gritted teeth and trembling arms, Caligula couldn't break through her defenses and cried out in frustration.

"Excellent! A rare defense. I am grateful. Now—I can attack with complete confidence!"

The previous attack missed, but with someone taking the hit, Nero, being a swordswoman, did not hesitate to compress magic power into her sword and then slashed fiercely at Caligula!

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh, Yu Mei's daughter... Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

Caligula roared again.

—Just like a student who is still anxiously answering questions and yelling in frustration after the exam bell rings.

"I've called you 'Uncle' enough already! I have important things to do. Protecting Rome is my duty. So, goodbye, my uncle~~"

At this critical moment.

Caligula's body seemed to begin to become strangely ethereal.

Fujimaru Ritsuka: "-Moon Chair Age Liu (Seven) Bar Youba This guy, try to run! Mash, change strategy—"

Generally speaking, berserkers rarely flee in battle; if they do, it can only be an order from a higher level.

In other words, the command hierarchy in Caligula's mind right now should be [Berserk], [Nero], and [Command], meaning that this guy has a [Master].

Although it is unknown who summoned it, it must be because the other party possesses the Holy Grail, a magical source that transcends time—it is even possible that someone might possess a Holy Grail that has truly been stained with the blood of a divine child in this era.

"Understood, senior. We'll switch to offense, right?"

"Drink!"

Mashu spun around and slammed the Windbreaker shield into Caligula's face, followed by a powerful spinning kick!

"Ughhhhhh!" Caligula's body was squeezed, a heavy blow deforming his strong and powerful body, and his expression became more and more like "pain".

"Trying to escape? No way, Uncle! You should at least have some of the demeanor of an emperor!"

The primordial fire pierced Caligula's heart. Although Nero's face showed a hint of regret and dejection, he had no choice but to do so in order to reclaim Rome.

This is her mission, and also her responsibility as the Supreme Ruler.

"For the sake of Rome, I have already killed many relatives and comrades... I know that such actions are wrong, but I still must carry out the will of Rome... Before the nation, the emperor cannot be weak!"

Whether it's facing trial or taking responsibility, since it's done, it's done.

Whether it is sin or merit, accept it all.

There's no other way.

Saving the world isn't about treating someone to a meal or a divorce dispute. It's a life-or-death struggle on a global scale. If you still feel guilty at this level, if you still can't bear the responsibility for destruction... then it's better not to save the world at all (a side note).

A flash of sword light!

Nero's eyes flashed, and sharp flames ignited from the sword's edge, tearing Caligula's body apart and shredding the hard golden armor to shreds... However, being a berserker after all, even when suppressed, his courage remained undiminished.

"Uhhhhh!"

With his muscles bulging, Caligula began to break free from the two men's hold. Then, a violent wave surged in his scarlet eyes, followed by a mental fluctuation like moonlight that spread with his roar!

"How could this be! He's a berserker, yet he can still unleash his Noble Phantasm..."

Mashu gaped, saying in disbelief, when she felt a heavy impact hit her brain, making it buzz!

"Ugh... what is a Noble Phantasm? My head hurts so much! It's going to split open... ugh~~"

Nero clutched his forehead, his face contorted in extreme pain.

A strange, moonlight-like mental shock instantly put pressure on Mash and Nero... allowing Caligula to turn the tide of the battle in an instant!

Dr. Roman's panicked voice rang out: "Oh no, it's Caligula's Noble Phantasm!"

[Devoure my heart, moonlight] FluticulusDiana

Like the cool moonlight, suddenly bursting forth!

"Legend has it that Emperor Caligula, while gazing at the moon at night, suddenly went mad for some unknown reason, transforming from a wise ruler into a tyrannical one... Perhaps Caligula, as a Servant, inherited this legend, as his Noble Phantasm emits the radiance of the moon goddess Diana, capable of driving people to madness..."

The cold moonlight shines down, and what's most terrifying is that the moonlight that covers the entire battlefield can instantly turn everyone within the range of the treasure into a crazed, irrational monster. In such a densely populated battlefield, it's perfectly reasonable for them to fight each other.

This crosses a line for Fujimaru Ritsuka.

It is understandable for soldiers to die in battle, because they have already made up their minds to take the lives of others or have their lives taken by others for a certain purpose.

But killing people in such a haphazard way... is an insult to the soldiers no matter how you look at it.

"I see, I'm sorry... Mashu."

"I'm about to make my move."

Fujimaru Ritsuka took a light step forward, clenched her wrist, and then the Command Seal on the back of her hand was scarlet and alluring, just like her deep red eyes—meaning that Fujimaru Ritsuka, as the final act, was going to take the stage herself.

"Senpai...I'm sorry..." Mashu said with a hint of apology. At this moment, she was in a state of being unable to fight back. Although she was not defeated instantly, she was being unilaterally suppressed by the irritable Caligula.

“It’s okay, Mashu, well... after all, you’ve already tried your best.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka raised her hand:

“I did not give you permission to use the moon’s power at will.”
