I, Fujimaru Ritsuka, am back with a max-level character!

Simon, to prove he was a god, performed magic on the wooden tower in the square. Initially, he successfully levitated above the square. The apostles Peter and Paul, seeing this, prayed to the Creator to stop his flight. He stopped mid-air and fell to a place called the Holy Way (Latin: the sacred path), where he was torn into three or four pieces and died. Emperor Nero was furious and immediately imprisoned Peter and Paul, ordering his men to carefully preserve Simon's body for three days (because Emperor Nero believed the magician Simon would rise from the dead).

The rival of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, who ended in defeat, was a court magician who taught Nero magic. He was skilled in fire magic and familiar with the myths and magic of the Mediterranean region [so it's not surprising that he could use anything]. Although he is recorded in the Bible, he does not seem to have originally been qualified to become a Heroic Spirit.

Personal Profile 2

Some accounts say he was one of the thirty disciples of John the Baptist, John's cousin, but he practiced magic in Egypt until John's death. The Bible records him as a believer baptized in Samaria by Philip, one of the twelve disciples. He later attempted to buy apostleship with silver coins. He was known for his volatile temper and volatile temper, and had personality and doctrinal conflicts with Peter and Paul.

Finally, he deviated from the norm.

Nero's court magician played an indispensable role in Emperor Nero's education and suppression of [***]. He was unrestrained and even irresponsible, but far better than a certain British court magician.

Chapter 18 Little Dragon Girl: Whose singing voice is more beautiful than Nero's?

Mash, Ophelia, and Fujimaru Ritsuka, whom Olga Marie was currently concerned about, had already prepared a prison break plan with their new love Nero [incorrect] and their new henchman Simon.

boom--!

Om-!

The scorching crimson flames flickered and burned, like a raging, roaring fire dragon, instantly annihilating all matter.

"The primordial fire is the origin of all things. This is the theory of fire as the origin of all things, passed down by the ancient Greek philosopher Heraclitus."

"The fire element magic developed on this basis has the ability to transform everything into a burning state to a certain extent."

Simon explained.

The iron chains and sturdy prison, when exposed to flames, did not burn; instead, they melted and disappeared, much like chocolate falling into water.

"Hmm, I can feel the power within the flames. If it were used to forge a sword, it would surely be sharper than ever before."

Nero grasped his right wrist with his left hand and nodded.

Simon: "This prison has a secret passage leading to the outside world. If you want to find the Holy Grail, you must find the believers of the Savior who still exist in this world."

The flames continued to expand, turning the iron chains to nothingness, and Nero and Fujimaru Ritsuka were freed.

The door was gently pushed open, and Fujimaru Ritsuka carefully stepped out.

The Mystic Code was damaged to some extent, and even though the limiter was stuck on it, it did not emit any light.

Without Chaldea's support, things have indeed become more difficult.

"Fujimaru, I'm finally able to get close to you. I'm a little nervous, but I'm also quite happy."

The blonde girl, dressed in simple white, faced a desperate situation but maintained her indomitable will, confronting it with a smile.

"Me too, Nero."

Gudako smiled slightly, looked at the girl, and nodded.

"That's enough, you two. Use this time to look for any underground shelters nearby."

The male magician, who disliked dog food, frowned in displeasure, snorted coldly, and turned his back on the two of them.

"Although we signed a contract, Simon... he really doesn't like me that much."

Fujimaru Ritsuka followed the magician somewhat awkwardly.

"No, Fujimaru, he treats everyone the same way... If he didn't like you, he would have started insulting you long ago."

Nero smiled very gently.

"Shut up, Nero!"

"I'm furious," Simon said.

"Oh dear, my teacher is shy!"

"I didn't!"

How arrogant you are, you evil great wizard.

The boy smiled knowingly.

------------

The omnipotent Roman emperors transformed the luxurious city of Rome into a fiery metropolis of sin.

Crimson flames permeated the streets, the roadside reliefs, and even the Pantheon and the Wishing Well, creating an atmosphere of scorching destruction.

"This way, this way."

Emerging from the dilapidated Mameldin prison, Simon led the two through a dark alley.

There was a foul, even nauseating, stench, permeated with the scent of splashing white night and decadent disgust, and a musty smell of bedding that hadn't been washed for years.

"I...I never imagined there would be a place like this in Rome!"

Nero exclaimed in surprise, his emerald eyes revealing astonishment and disbelief.

"Even if the high and mighty nobles and the emperor knew, they would never care about the lives of commoners, but thanks to this..."

Nero stared blankly, somewhat disappointed, and pursed his lips.

Simon was speechless for a moment: "Does that mean you care?!"

"Because Nero loved them all equally, whether they were nobles, citizens, or others."

Fujimaru Ritsuka replied that although she was the Roman emperor, Miss Nero herself deeply loved all the people of Rome.

"Is this what love is?"

Simon squinted, scrutinizing Nero intently, as if laser beams could shoot from his eyes.

Nero did not look away, but stared straight at him.

"Whether it's Britannia, Gaul, Germania, Philistia... as long as it's Rome, I will cherish it with all my heart."

"Even if it's not Rome, I will make it into Rome, and then cherish it with the same attitude."

The former emperor did not hesitate for a moment.

"If you ask why, the answer is simple: I am Rome!"

"Magnificent Rome is superfluous, ugly Rome is also superfluous, just like how people wash their bodies in order to make themselves more beautiful!"

Nero answered decisively.

"Oh shit."

After glancing at the somewhat agitated Empress, Simon cursed the doctor and then casually pushed open a hidden black door.

It was a heavy iron door covered with mottled rust, and the smell of rust was equally unbearable.

Mixed with dust and broken fragments, it fell down as Simon flicked the pin.

"Where is this—?" Gudako asked.

“Even in Rome, the most luxurious city in the world, there are abandoned underground passages where poor people and homeless people live.”

"Going down here leads to a filthy underground passage where refugees who had drifted here from all over the world would gather."

"Among them, there should be those who promote the theory of the [Savior], and perhaps they know the whereabouts of the [Holy Grail]."

"I see."

Gudako nodded, then stepped forward and together with Simon, pushed open the heavy iron gate.

------

The narrow underground passageway reeked of fear and stench.

Every now and then, a drop of murky, unidentified liquid would drip down from above, making one feel extremely disgusted and repulsed.

Unfree citizens without legal status in Rome could only live like ninja turtles in these filthy, stinking sewers.

"Waaah...waaah, why, why did this have to happen to me?"

"Is this place the legendary hell? Why are there so many vengeful spirits here?!"

"It was the same in France last time, and it's the same in Rome this time. I just want to hold a concert, why does it have to be during this time!"

A red-haired girl in a gothic princess dress swayed her dragon tail.

"This time, no puppies will come to my rescue!!!"

Elizabeth was once again faced with a desperate situation, and she cried out in a hoarse, booming voice.

Right in front of and behind her, black, malevolent shadows kept floating and wriggling forward, trying to devour the little dragon girl's flesh and blood.

This place was originally dark and gloomy. Elizabeth accidentally discovered this refuge, which had once been used by refugees, while hiding from Roman soldiers who had almost degenerated into evil spirits.

It was pitch black here, without a single ray of light.

"La la la~~ la la la~~ The rhythm of love is like dragon scales~"

Little Dragon Girl mustered her courage and began to sing a song inside the underground tunnel.

Tunnels are very efficient at transmitting sound. If you shout at one end, the other end might hear you, and there might even be an echo.

Then...

She tragically attracted the firepower of all the vengeful spirits.

This provoked the furious roars of the vengeful spirits.

[Damn it, guys, kill this noisy, money-grubbing woman! What kind of love rhythm is this? Is she trying to send us to the afterlife?]

[If I'm already oppressed by Nero's insane singing while I'm alive, do I have to listen to this disgusting stuff after I'm dead?!]
