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

"I see. It seems Mr. Samura is quite famous in Japan." Mashu looked at the figure in the air, feeling that she had gained a deeper understanding of this newly joined swordsman, Mr. Heroic Spirit.

Zuocun's rotation speed has become extremely fast.

A tornado made of blades appeared in the air.

"In the anime, whenever Mr. Samura uses the Wakizashi sword technique 'Zhen San,' he utters that phrase—"

"Emerald green shoots swirl in the mountain breeze."

A storm of blades swept towards the ground.

"Unstained by blood, yet untouched by dust."

Zuocun sheathed the pheasant feathers back into the sword.

Roman of Chaldea broke out in a cold sweat: "Is this really a modern-day Heroic Spirit...? Its strength is terrifying."

The second wave of enemy troops was wiped out by Zuo Cun alone.

The girl in the red dress was so shocked her jaw almost dropped to the ground as she looked at Zuo Cun, who had already walked back from a distance.

"What immense power... what is this... a Servant?" The girl in the red dress scrutinized Zuo Cun. "Are you also a dead person?"

Upon hearing this, Lawrence and Ritsuka exchanged a glance.

"What...does that mean, Miss?" Camilla seized on this crucial point. "Have you ever met anyone who resembles that guy over there?"

"Huh? How am I supposed to put that..." The girl in the red dress was stumped. "It's true that I've encountered people who came back to life and gained even greater power..."

"The dead are brought back to life... and have gained even greater power...?" Mash became serious. "This description sounds a lot like a Servant."

“Let’s assume for now that this lady has encountered a Servant before,” Lawrence sighed. “Really, it seems that this singularity, like the French singularity, already had other Servants summoned beforehand.”

“By the way, miss, may I ask you something?” Lawrence called to the girl in the red dress, “Those people you encountered who came back from the dead… what were their actions or whereabouts?”

"And also... may I know your name?"

The girl in the red dress was somewhat surprised.

I was also a little angry.

"You don't even know my name? You're really ignorant."

"Listen carefully, I am the light of Rome, the true protector of Rome, and the rightful Emperor of Rome—"

"That is Rome itself!"

"Nero Claudius!"

Chapter 429 Devour My Heart, Moonlight

"Hmm..." Mash and Ritsuka exchanged a speechless look and fell silent.

Camilla frowned. "Nero Claudius? I don't recall him being a male emperor?"

Lawrence, also stroking his chin seriously, asked, "Emperors recorded in history as male, were actually women...?"

"Well..." Mashu scratched the back of her head.

“Not at all surprised…” Fujimaru Ritsuka chuckled twice.

"History...how amazing..." Roman sighed, not knowing what to say.

Although Lawrence and Leonardo da Vinci appeared to be women, they had only changed the appearance of their spirit origins.

King Arthur, whom I glimpsed in Fuyuki, and the Roman Emperor Nero Claudius, whom I met at this Roman singularity, were both women in the truest sense.

"What exactly happened according to the historical records..." Roman touched his forehead in the command room of Chaldea, feeling a bit of a headache.

Zuo Cun had already returned, observing the awkward atmosphere among the group. He asked, somewhat puzzled, "What happened?"

“It’s nothing, Mr. Samura.” Fujimaru Ritsuka shook her head. “It’s just a trivial matter.”

"What kind of attitude is that? I am the Emperor of Rome!" Nero looked somewhat annoyed.

Just then—

"No! It doesn't seem to be over yet!" Dr. Roman's urgent voice came through the communication. "Ahead of you, in the direction where the soldiers just appeared, there's a Spirit Origin reaction."

"A Servant, and seemingly a hostile one at that!"

"Protect the Master!" Lawrence had already set up his magic field, and the floating gems could be vaguely seen all around.

"Mash, report the Spirit Origin reaction distance." Fujimaru Ritsuka regained her battle composure and ordered Mash.

"Seven hundred meters away, and the speed is very fast—six hundred meters."

Mashu stood at the forefront, shielding him with a large shield, while Samura and Camilla stood guard on either side.

"Be careful, that's—!" Nero's voice was urgent.

A crimson beam of light flew directly from a distance.

"Don't hurt Master and Harley!" Suddenly, Simonetta seemed to sense malice and roared as she jumped off Lawrence's back.

"Simon!" Lawrence instinctively reached out to stop Simonetta.

Simonetta had transformed into a black streak of light and collided with the red light.

boom----

"What a brutal application of magic—!" Lawrence frowned as he looked at the scene before him.

"The newcomer is undoubtedly a Servant, class—Berserker!" Mash reported loudly.

As the smoke cleared, Simonetta appeared to be somewhat injured, and the Servant who had charged at high speed from the other side was also in bad shape.

Judging from his appearance, this servant is a rather strong man, dressed in a garment that is clearly in the Roman style.

"Don't even think about... stopping me...!" His eyes were bloodshot, and the white in his eyes had been lost due to madness, leaving only black, representing chaos.

Simon wanted to engage him in a prolonged fight.

Both were berserkers, wielding magic in the most brutal way, their fists and feet exchanging blows imbued with immense magical power.

"Mr. Samura! Go help Simon!" Ritsuka ordered.

Lawrence had already used several enhancement spells on Simon.

Because of the lessons learned from the Orleans Singularity, Lawrence almost always deploys his magical territory within a meter of himself, making it easy to expand and support his teammates.

"Hmm." Zuo Cun wanted to jump up and meet that berserker who looked difficult to deal with.

“…Mr. Samura, is it? Let me handle this.” Nero stopped Samura and looked at the berserker.

The berserker became even more frenzied the moment he saw Nero.

"Get out of my way...!" After kicking Simon back, the berserker charged toward Nero, roaring something.

"—My dear...Yu Mei...my...daughter!"

“...Uncle.” Nero looked dejected.

"No...you are no longer my uncle. Please allow me to address you with this presumptuous title—" She raised her crimson longsword, looking angrily at the berserker opposite her, "a fool who wanders aimlessly for no reason, who has fallen into the filthy coalition!"

"Caligula!"

"Ughh ...

"She can't block this attack!" Zuo Cun said anxiously.

"Mash!"

"Yes!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu's voices rang out one after the other.

boom!!!!

Nero's gaze narrowed slightly.

Mash, holding a large shield, stood in front of Nero.

"Samura! Camilla!" Ritsuka gave the order again.

Camilla, who had disappeared from her spot at some point, suddenly reappeared behind Caligula, while Zuocun had already fallen from the sky.

"Oh oh oh oh oh—oh oh oh oh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah—!!!"

Caligula roared.

"This reaction is—the release of a Noble Phantasm?!" Mash exclaimed urgently. "Get out of there quickly! Miss Camilla, Mr. Samura!"

"Ohhhhhhh!!!!"

"Moonlight—oh moonlight—"

Zuo Cun and Camilla sensed something was wrong and quickly backed away.

"Damn it, is it about to unleash its Noble Phantasm?!" Fujimaru Ritsuka said through gritted teeth.

She hasn't gotten used to this yet; she's already facing Servant-level battles right after entering the Singularity—

"Curse me!"

A circular area appeared on the field centered on Caligula, enveloping everyone present.

Lawrence quickly made a bottle of gem potion and threw it to Zuocun.

"Devouring my heart, moonlight! [Flucticulus Diana]!!!"

hum-

The air vibrated, and a huge, bright moon appeared in the sky above the area, enveloping everyone.

A feeling of weakness.

"This is—a Noble Phantasm that nullifies the opponent's magic!" Lawrence recognized the type of the enemy's Noble Phantasm and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it's not a mass-destructive Noble Phantasm popular among Berserkers; if it were, things would be much more difficult.

"What? It's just nullifying magic?" Zuocun's voice came from high above.

"If that's all there is to it—then why should I hide!"
