Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

Waver: "As expected, in the end, it will still come down to the best Noble Phantasms to decide the victor."

Afu: "Who won?"

Siegfried: "I can't tell. We'll have to wait for the smoke to clear, but..."

Teacher Ma: "The two sides are evenly matched, but Mordred has the power of a Command Spell and the backing of his Master, so I'm afraid Sieg can't beat him."

Afu: "Huh! No way!"

Rin Tohsaka: "What's the panic? Didn't we already know this battle would be interrupted?"

Afu: "Ah, right."

The earth was plowed flat, and dust rose everywhere. When the dust cleared, Zig was seen kneeling on the ground, while Xiao Mo was jumping up and down in anger.

In the clash of Noble Phantasms, Mordred had the upper hand, but she was clearly dissatisfied.

"Why are you still alive?!"

The fact that he could fight on equal terms with a fake was a tremendous humiliation for Xiao Mo.

Moreover, the fact that she had received the blessing of a Command Seal made her even more furious.

"I'm going to kill you, Saber of the Black Faction! Don't move!"

[Xiao Mo strode over in a fit of rage, ready to take Zig's head.]

Teacher Ma: "As expected."

Siegfried: "Judging from Sieg's appearance, although he hasn't returned to his original form, he's no longer able to fight."

Webber: "Although the fight was interrupted, Mordred still won strictly speaking."

Rebellious Knight: "Hmph, a mere imposter, how could he possibly be my match?"

[On the other side, in the rooftop garden, a few minutes ago.]

[Shirou Kotomine, who has returned, is watching the battle with the Empress and Shakespeare.]

Empress: "Heh, Master, was this situation also part of your plan?"

[Shiro Kotomine did not answer, but stared intently at the monitor with an extremely serious expression.]

[Shakespeare: "What?! Saber of the Black Faction has been resurrected! My goodness, this is a miracle that would shock even a saint! It's like 'to hell with magic!'"]

[Kotomine Shiro: "No, that's not resurrection. How should I put it? It's more like possession."]

[Shakespeare: "You mean possession?"]

"Among Servants, there are also types that can have a strong impact on the Master's body."

[Shiro Kotomine explained, "Generally speaking, the relationship between a Master and a Servant is similar to that between a Master and a Familiar. However, there are also Servants who possess skills that allow them to share a body with their Master. In such cases, the Master becomes almost immortal. Of course, this is only limited to the brief period of the Holy Grail War."]

"More importantly, it won't improve your combat abilities, so it can only be used as a countermeasure against Assassins."

Weber: "This is the first time I've heard this argument."

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "I've never heard of it either. Shiro Kotomine, where did you learn about this theory?"

Kotomine Shiro: "Well, this is my own research."

Rin Tohsaka: "This situation sounds familiar."

Weber: "Isn't that a familiar name? There's an example right here in the group."

Rin Tohsaka: "Ah! Right, it's Jeanne d'Arc!"

Joan of Arc and Leticia are now somewhat similar to Shiro Kotomine's theory, but there are still some differences.

[Empress: "Wait a minute, even from my perspective, that's not the case at all. That guy isn't a Master; he's undoubtedly a Servant."]

[Shirou Kotomine: "That's why I said it was possession. It's probably because she summoned Saber of the Black Faction through the immense magical power of the Command Seals."]

"Of course, even with Command Seals, it's normally impossible to do something like this. That homunculus was an exception; he possessed something related to Saber from the Black Faction."

"While it's unclear whether it was part of his physical body or a relic, he used that as a medium to allow Saber to descend into his body."

Chapter 214: Afu and Sieg are the true love

[Empress: "How could that be? We're not those evil spirits you see everywhere, we're heroic spirits!"]

"If a physical body were to possess it, the soul certainly couldn't withstand it, especially since it's an artificial human!"

[Shiro Kotomine: "Because he is an artificial human, his soul is purer due to his youth, untainted by anything, and can withstand any physical corruption."]

"Of course, allowing a Heroic Spirit to possess someone, even for just a second, is a miracle. Even with Command Seals, maintaining it for a few minutes is already quite good."

[Empress: "So, you mean it's okay to ignore it?"]

Kotomine Shiro nodded.

Kenneth: "We can't underestimate Kotomine Shiro; he actually figured out Sieg's true colors so quickly."

Waver: "This guy seems to know a lot about Heroic Spirits."

Kotomine Shiro: "Hehe, you flatter me."

Just then, a shock, like an earthquake, came from the bottom of the garden, causing the entire garden to shake.

"Is this the aftermath of Berserker's attack? It seems he's nearing his breaking point."

The Empress immediately ordered the Sky Garden to rise; it wouldn't be good if Spartacus suddenly targeted it.

[Shakespeare: "But if the castle is destroyed, won't the Holy Grail break?"]

[Empress: "Don't worry, the Greater Grail is located underground in the castle. It's not something that can be destroyed by mere rubble. As long as the Berserker doesn't attack it, there won't be any problems."]

[On the battlefield below, just as the Empress said, Spartacus has reached a critical point.]

Completely losing his mind, Spartacus became indifferent to even his own family, shifting his focus from Joan of Arc to the Yggdrasil Castle.

Koles: "What the hell!"

Gordes: "What a joke! You're not one of our Servants, so why are you suddenly turning around and attacking us!"

Avisbro: "Has he lost his mind to the point of not being able to distinguish friend from foe?"

Fiore: "I can't believe such a thing happened..."

Ai-chan: "Hahaha! My love is about to explode!"

Rin Tohsaka: "This is outrageous. Anyone who summons this guy as a Servant is really unlucky."

"It's coming!"

[Jeanne da Vinci gazed at the fierce battle between the black and red Saber in the distance, and made a decision based on her own will.]

She leaped backward, holding the holy banner, and after confirming that Spartacus's target was no longer her, immediately galloped towards the direction where the two Sabers were.

She was going to stop them and make them leave immediately.

The other Servants noticed Spartacus's situation and retreated early, leaving only them focused on the battle.

Upon witnessing the two sides unleash their Noble Phantasms and clash, Jeanne d'Arc knew something was wrong.

The aftershocks of their magical clash were directly transmitted to Spartacus, causing him to break through his critical point prematurely.

"Ah! The spark of rebellion!"

Spartacus roared, and his entire body began to inflate like a balloon.

"Run away!"

Just as Mordred was about to deliver the final blow to Sieg, Joan of Arc rushed forward and shouted a warning.

[Xiao Mo finally noticed Spartacus's condition and was completely stunned.]

Urged on by the Lion's Cry, it finally came to its senses and its unwilling spiritual particles vanished.

Sieg, due to the clash of their Noble Phantasms, was now unable to move.

Sieg and Joan of Arc, coincidentally, were both unable to become spirit particles.

[Sieg: "Run! You are a Servant who absolutely cannot be destroyed here!"]

Joan of Arc: "Please don't say such foolish things. How could I possibly stand by and watch someone die?"

Just then, Afu rushed up and hugged Zig tightly in a protective embrace.

[Joan of Arc: "Aren't you going to run away, Black Rider?"]

[Afu: "No."]

Joan of Arc: "But..."

[Afu hugged Zig and shook his head vigorously: "I said no, and that means no! I don't want to see him get hurt again! I will absolutely not leave here!"]

[Serenekae then ordered Afo to quickly retreat in spirit form, but he refused, possessing the "Act Alone" skill.]

"...Understood. Then please stay there and don't move."

Seeing Afu's determination, Joan of Arc stopped trying to dissuade her and instead raised the holy banner in front of her.

Ilya: "Oh my, how touching! Is this love?"

Rin Tohsaka: "Uh, which two are you talking about?"

Ilya: "Isn't it obvious?"
