In order to become a Heroic Spirit, I had no choice but to cause trouble in history.

The knight's voice was deep and resonant.

Like the low murmur of death.

"Stabbed in the back"

Camilla felt a chill run through her body as she was instantly locked onto by murderous intent; the terrifying feeling made it impossible for her to even move.

The knight's longsword gleamed with a dark blue light, accompanying the flickering of his figure.

In an instant, he appeared behind Camilla.

but--

For some reason, Mashu had already appeared behind Camilla.

"Noble Phantasm, Simulated Login—"

"A pseudo-Noble Phantasm—The Foundation of Humanity!!!"

Even before the knight appeared, Mash activated her Noble Phantasm.

The blade, shimmering with blue light, pierced the light shield and then Camilla behind it.

Mash used her Noble Phantasm to defend against this fatal blow.

Camilla took a deep breath.

If you get stabbed by this sword, you'll definitely die!

She thought it with certainty.

"Ugh, ahhhhhh—" The knight's sword continued to thrust, as if it had to devour Camilla's heart. Mashu's light shield was forcibly pushed back, and her feet plowed two furrows in the ground.

Lawrence's jeweled blade slashed at the knight, but the knight paid no heed and continued thrusting.

A slight crack appeared on the light shield.

A slight smile appeared on the knight's lips.

"My banner—" Joan of Arc raised her banner high, her expression sacred.

The white French flag fluttered in the wind, radiating a soft white light that enveloped everyone in the venue, like the warm morning sun.

“Protect my people!” Joan of Arc cried out.

"My Lord is here (Luminosite Eternelle) ————"

The solemn incantation for the release of the Noble Phantasm was uttered from the saint's mouth.

Mash's shield was repaired, and Bindu's Noble Phantasm finally stopped its advance.

Lawrence's jeweled blade had already pierced the knight's core.

The knight's body, however, did not decay in the slightest.

He possesses a skill similar to combat continuation.

Chapter 243 Mary and Mozart

The knight showed no sign of frustration despite the Noble Phantasm being resisted.

The figure in front of the light shield turned into a phantom, and the knight's speed remained swift even after his spirit core was pierced.

The jeweled blade was struck by the straight sword and shattered. The broken gems turned into magic and dissipated in the air. Lawrence the Duck sat on the ground, panting.

Because she had just unleashed her Noble Phantasm yesterday, her body was currently unable to absorb much magic power, leaving her with virtually no combat strength.

The knight stood high up on the building, looking down at the still vigilant crowd below.

Because of a skill similar to combat continuation, he can remain alive and kicking for a short period of time as long as he doesn't suffer fatal damage again.

Besides Lawrence, Mash and Jeanne also had a tough time.

Both of their Noble Phantasms are extremely difficult to unleash, one lacking in inherent strength and the other whose Noble Phantasm's true name is unknown.

If this Assassin were to unleash his Noble Phantasm again, neither of them had the confidence to withstand it.

Camilla was somewhat indignant, holding the Iron Maiden's chains in her hand, glaring fiercely at the knight standing on the wall.

The feeling she had just experienced, as if she was destined to be killed, made her, who should have been the source of fear, taste the bitterness of fear.

Shame, anger.

Camilla stood there without saying a word.

With a outstretched hand, something resembling a black hole appeared above the knight, and the Iron Maiden, which Camilla had been holding, crashed down from that black hole.

The knight looked up and smiled disdainfully.

One accelerated away from its original position.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's physical strength was also severely depleted. Although she was not responsible for the magical energy required for the Servant's actions, as the converter, she also had a heavy burden.

The knight did not unleash his Noble Phantasm again, only when everyone was somewhat exhausted.

He aimed his straight sword at Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was being protected by the others in the middle.

With his eyes narrowed and magic propelling his feet, the knight leaped into the air, poised to carry out the assassination.

Mashu hurriedly stood up, wanting to rush to the defense.

But at that moment, a voice came.

"Hahahahahaha!"

"I encountered this scene as soon as I arrived here."

“Bullying a lady is not a good choice.”

The sound was accompanied by the sound of horses' hooves.

"So--"

"Listen to this magical melody!"

The man's voice was elegant yet captivating.

"A Requiem for Death!!!"

A beam of light enveloped everyone, and the man who had spoken finally revealed his true face.

He was a thin but rather elegant young man, undoubtedly a follower.

He and another woman arrived at the battlefield on a crystal horse, and...

He unleashed his Noble Phantasm.

Mashu stood in front of Fujimaru Ritsuka, her expression wary.

But the next second, a huge white thing that looked like an angel appeared around the knight servant.

The knight did not act rashly and was confident that these things could not harm him. If there was any disturbance, his speed would be enough to avoid any damage.

However, the man was more confident.

He elegantly waved his baton: "Pay the price for your arrogance—"

In an instant, a beautiful yet intense melody rang out.

The source is precisely those angel-shaped things.

The knight, surrounded by them, immediately felt a sharp headache.

"And this, my magic trick! [Angel's Voice]!!!" The man chuckled twice and continued to direct the angel.

The sharper sound was directed at the knight alone. Even though he covered his ears, he couldn't stop the sound from entering his mind and vibrating his spiritual core.

"Uh—ahhh—" The knight moved his feet and disappeared from the angels' embrace.

"This... the spirit origin reaction has disappeared, it must be... they retreated?" Dr. Roman's small screen appeared, looking at the gradually disappearing angel with some surprise.

The crystal horse galloped up to the crowd.

The elegant man who had just driven away the knight servant with his abilities and the woman dressed in gorgeous clothes and wearing a huge hat stepped down from their crystal horse.

"Long live France! Hello!" The woman was very beautiful and had a sweet smile.

After the two dismounted, the jeweled horse neighed and vanished into spirit form.

"Um, may I ask who you are...?" Mashu didn't lower her shield, but just stared blankly at the elegant and gorgeous couple and asked.

"Before we introduce ourselves, we would like to ask you something, ladies." The male musician smiled broadly and gave an elegant bow.

“…Please speak.” Fujimaru Ritsuka stood up, somewhat wary.

"So, you are fighting to save France?" The woman's smile faded slightly as she looked at the group seriously.

"Yes." Joan of Arc was tired, but her eyes were firm.

They all nodded.

Joan of Arc clutched her chest, her expression resolute and unwavering: "I descended upon my homeland as a novice Servant just days after my death, surely because I was determined to save this country."

The woman was somewhat moved: "What's your name?"

“My name is Joan of Arc (Jeanne Dacques).” Joan of Arc gave her name without hesitation.

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded.

"My name is Fujimaru Ritsuka, and I am the Master of Chaldea. In order to repair this singularity, I must save France." The young girl smiled confidently as she looked at the person who had asked the question.

"I am Mash Kyrielight, a Demi-Servant!"

"True name, Lawrence Anno Falga, an ordinary Caster Servant."

"...Just call me Camilla."

"Yes, yes, you are all people I respect!" the female servant exclaimed excitedly. "We've been alone for a long time, it's so good to meet you all!"

“I am Marie Antoinette, just call me Marie!” Marie Antoinette seemed very happy.

“Marie Antoinette…you are the Queen of France?” Matthew asked, somewhat incredulously, after a moment’s thought.
