Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, the Israeli boxing champion

PS1: A little-known fact: according to seniority, Nero was actually the great-grandson of Augustus Octavian, and was also the last Roman emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty, the first dynasty of the Roman Empire founded by the family of Augustus.

Sakurai, it's a pity that you didn't include Octavian when you wrote the second chapter, but given the environment at the beginning of the server, it's possible that it could be a three-star...

PS2: This image of Nero can actually be considered a satellite, but unfortunately the picture cannot be posted.

Chapter 074: Moon Spirit Condensation

"That's a very cruel move, Nero."

Tamamonomae, who was lying on the ground, looked at the place where he was just now. A big hole had been smashed out. When the smoke cleared, a figure in white holding a golden iron fist stood there.

"I can't defeat you without being ruthless."

On the sunken ground, Nero's feet were on fire and the golden gloves in his hands were blazing with flames. The power of that attack just now was not to be underestimated.

“How about this? This is the brand new Yu, [Saber Regalia] Nero Claudius! Um, it’s not too late to pledge your loyalty to me now!”

Tamamonomae staggered up against the wall, her bright and shiny appearance had turned into a dusty mess, even her furry ears were drooping, and the blue socks she had just changed into were now in tatters.

After becoming a Heroic Spirit, Tamamonomae's fighting instinct has gradually faded away during the years she devoted herself to reforming herself in Valhalla. Now she no longer has the willpower she had as one of the three great monsters to face the human army head-on.

To take a step back, if it was just Nero holding a sword, she could still rely on her own ability to keep distance and fight back. If she put in a little more effort, perhaps she could make Nero suffer a loss.

but......

"How come you can fly around with such a big fist?"

Where did you get your Iron Fist from?

With an agility of B, she is not very good at close combat, and under the influence of the flying iron fist, she has very few opportunities to cast spells. When she can't even fly a kite, if Nero is more accurate, she will probably die here.

"Ah, why am I not Archer? Then I can shoot it back in that way!"

"Want to make a deal, Tamamo?"

Nero of the Golden Iron Fist almost ignored Tamamonomae's gaze and proposed to Tamamonomae and Fujimaru Ritsuka with a warm smile.

She already has the upper hand (physics)

"Are you sure we went through all this trouble just to negotiate a deal with you? Miss Gold Saint Nero?"

Well, apart from anything else, Nero's iron fist look is indeed something he can apply for in other crews, and after seeing the flaming iron fist, the possibility of being accepted will be even greater.

Use the Flame Fist on him!

"What if I say no?"

As Nero finished his words, the next moment, a chain of beans appeared in Tamamonomae's hand, and she shook her fingers lightly as if shaking the strings of a guitar.

At the same time, the golden iron fist also struck down, carrying flames and huge impact force towards Tamamonomae, and was about to completely destroy her.

"Ding--"

A small mirror blocked the path of the golden iron fist, and the flaming fist was forced to stop in mid-air. Ritsuka could hear bursts of tearing sounds, which were the sounds of friction between the iron fist and the mirror.

"Spell, Secret, Splitting the Sky!"

In just a blink of an eye, Tamamonomae instantly appeared next to Ritsuka, and the treasure "Water and Sky Sunlight Amaterasu Yanoshi" on her waist was there to block Nero's golden iron fist.

"Tamamo!"

"I'm fine, Master, but I'm a little troubled."

The Eight-foot Mirror slowly rotated along with the spell in Tamamonomae's mouth, and then, as the spell ended, Nero's golden iron fist also stopped attacking, and the flames turned into light dust and scattered.

After the spell ended, Tamamonomae coughed twice. Her current condition was not as simple as she said.

The Eight-foot Mirror successfully blocked the attack. Nero sighed slightly in disappointment, but then his green eyes became more and more excited about the fighting spirit.

From the very beginning, she knew that the master-servant relationship between Tamamonomae and Ritsuka in front of her was not that simple at all.

"That's quite a surprise, Tamamo."

Originally, considering their acquaintance, she didn't want to use her Noble Phantasm. In a normal Holy Grail War, if one reveals one's trump card before the war, it would be tantamount to showing one's trump card.

But considering that this is strictly a 1v1, it's not a big deal.

"Ahem, tell me why you did this, and what happened that day?"

Tamamonomae wiped the traces from the corners of her mouth with her hand. After experiencing a series of battles, her own situation was not optimistic. Her own magic power had reached the bottom, and her mental fatigue and personal loss could not be ignored.

"That day? What day?"

"What happened in the battle between you and Boudica that day at the Anatolian fortress?"

The Rose Emperor looked over and saw that the source of the voice was the black-haired woman who had been supporting Tamamonomae.

"Ritsuka? Sorry, I have nothing to say. If you leave now, I will forgive you."

"We don't have that option, Nero."

She initially just frowned at Tamamonomae's reply, but soon she realized something was wrong.

The next moment, reality slapped Nero in the face.

She was targeted by Tamamonomae's Dakini Tenju called the Curse Realm Evil Heaven Ceremony. When she was not paying attention, Tamamonomae had already arranged all of this.

Although Tamamonomae, one of the three great monsters in the past, is covered with scars, she is still eyeing Nero with the talisman in her hand. Once she makes any unusual movement, the curse called the Curse World: Evil Heaven Festival will come as expected.

The so-called magic is a physical phenomenon performed using the caster's own body. Ordinary magic is a program of "arranging existing things", but magic is a program of "arranging one's own body as material". You should know that Tamamonomae's own magic (Dajinitenho) is EX-level.

"Has the Octagonal Hall been covered with talismans without my knowledge..." She looked around. The walls around her were already covered with Shinto talismans. It was hard to imagine that she had to do so much work while dodging the attacks.

"Really? I suffered such a huge loss in vain. Nero is really too much, Migu!" As she complained, she solidified a piece of talisman paper from the void. The densely packed black spells on it made Ritsuka dizzy and he quickly looked away.

"The Curse Realm·Evil Heaven's Sacrifice!"

With the Eight-foot Mirror as the center, a rain of light fell from the sky towards Nero. The anti-military treasure named "Water and Sunlight Amaterasu Yanokoshi" finally played its due role.

"But it's not without weaknesses... Tamamo."

Nero looked at the rain of light in the sky, raised the corners of his mouth, and rushed straight forward.

"Then let me show you the power of the Moon Spirit's convergence."

Chapter 075: In the name of the Command Seal, take back the royal power [Regalia]!

The flames of the Cursed Realm, the Evil Heaven Festival, and Nero's side continued to collide, and after canceling each other out, they all turned into dust and floated in the air, and then turned into a strong wind and blew away the ground.

Tamamonomae displayed her extremely gorgeous ancient martial arts, dodging and moving in the air with her graceful figure, sweeping towards Nero with fatal power; and Nero also relied on his advantage in the Golden Theater and his own imperial privileges to resist Tamamonomae's attack.

Although the two were fighting, the Eight-foot Mirror in the sky was still constantly interfering with Nero's vision. This was a battle that was both fair and unfair.

The next moment, the fully released "Water and Sky Sunlight Amaterasu Eight-Star Guarding Stone" - the Yata Mirror, this pair of military treasures once again rushed towards Nero who was in a disadvantageous position. Although Nero, who was extremely rich in close combat methods, suppressed Tamamonomae's offensive, the sudden attack of the Yata Mirror caught her off guard.

In Ritsuka's opinion, if nothing unexpected happened, Nero's failure was almost certain.

The light arrow attack launched by the mirror above the theater continued to rush towards Nero's position, trying to gain some results from the emperor.

They succeeded. A light arrow managed to scratch her face when she was caught off guard. Although the wound was not deep, it was effective after all.

"Curse: Flame Sky!"

Tamamonomae stepped forward, and the red lotus produced by the curse of Flame Sky bloomed between her palms. Then, immediately afterwards, Tamamonomae, carrying the red lotus, smashed towards Nero.

"It's over, Nero."

"That's exactly what I want to tell you, Tamamo."

The cheers are like swords and halberds [Gladiusanus Blauserum]!

At that moment, Tamamonomae saw Nero's planned smile, and then watched her escape from her attack atmosphere and fly straight towards the mirror in the sky.

From Tamamonomae's perspective, Nero was getting farther and farther away from her with the help of the hole spewing blue flames behind her, and her destination was the mirror.

"Ritsuka, run—"

The explosion resounded throughout the theater, and even Ritsuka, who had found a good shelter, was blown away by the hurricane of the explosion. In an instant, the entire theater was on fire. Rather than cutting off Ritsuka's last possibility of escape, it was more like a celebration of the Rose Emperor's hard-earned victory.

The Eight-foot Mirror was broken, and Nero in Iron Fist form used Moon Spirit Condensation to completely defeat it, at the cost of Nero's body being covered in blood. In return, Tamamonomae, who was suddenly hit hard, fell heavily to the ground.

She miscalculated.

Nero's attack on the Yata Mirror caused Tamamonomae to suffer the same damage. Tamamonomae, who was completely hit by the attack, fell to the ground. She looked at the winner who was walking towards her, with reluctance in her eyes, and more of her worry about Ritsuka.

She wanted to resist unwillingly, but her severely injured body made her powerless. Tamamonomae could only watch Nero approach step by step, just like the army that attacked her that day.

Why......

She felt very tired, exhausted, and extremely uncomfortable. Tamamonomae closed her eyes and waited for her fate. She might have dozed off, dreamed, or had random thoughts.

But fate played a big joke on her again.

"Ritsuka?"

Nero's voice sounded a little surprised, as if something unexpected had happened.

After a while, Tamamonomae felt as if she was lying in someone's arms. That person was hugging her tightly, and the embrace made her feel warm.

"Master..."

"You've worked hard, Tamamo. Take a break."

Ritsuka was sitting on the ground, hugging Tamamonomae who was lying on the ground. There was a pool of blood under them. The master and servant, covered in blood, were leaning against each other, as if waiting for their next fate.

"Excellent decision-making, Your Majesty Nero."

"Things didn't have to get to this point." Nero took off his golden gloves, and the flames under his feet dissipated, leaving only a circle of flames surrounding them.

"Before that, can I ask why you did this?" Ritsuka hesitated. "What happened between you and Boudica that night?"

"...If you were there at the time, Ritsuka, you might understand the decision I made."

Since she was summoned to the world, she has been struggling with inner conflicts. On the one hand, she wants to wield the sword against the last Roman Empire, and on the other hand, she insists on the spirit of the contract. This conflict has troubled her for a long time.

Until it exploded that night when it was raided and faced Boudica.

That day, she stared blankly at her hands, blaming herself for her past. The golden hair on her forehead blocked her originally bright eyes. Countless negative auras made Nero begin to transform into the beast of possibility.

"It's all my fault. If only I hadn't done that."

"…Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb, but he spoke like a dragon. He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and he causes the earth and those who live on it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound had been healed."

“And he performs great signs, even making fire come down from heaven upon the earth in the sight of all men. And he deceives the inhabitants of the earth by the signs which he performs in the presence of the beast, and he persuades them to make an image to the beast, who had the wound of the sword, and yet lived. And he is given power to give breath of life to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast even speaks, and causes all who do not worship the image of the beast to die.”

"And he put a mark on their right hands, or on their foreheads, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave; so that no one could buy or sell except one who had the mark, that is, the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Herein let him be wise: whoever has understanding, let him calculate the number of the beast."

"Because it is the number of a man, its number is six hundred and sixty-six."

The Beast of Apocalypse opened its eyes to Nero Claudius at that moment, and the first part was to read the records of the Holy Grail War on the moon in a certain world line onto this Nero.

As Nero thought about this, a different look appeared in his eyes for the first time.

That's the taste of the wild.

“That’s why we’re here.”

Ritsuka's eyes became firm. She had just seen in Nero's eyes that besides the wildness and confusion, there was also a trace of struggle and hope.

In that case, there is no way back.

Ritsuka raised his right hand and activated his first line of Command Seals.

“In the name of the Command Seal, Tamamonomae, take back your Regalia!”

PS1: The setting of Regalia comes from Fate Extella, in which Regalia = all the programs and computing power of Mooncell. Here everyone can understand it as the mythical costume in CCC.

So why did I go all this way...

PS2: I originally wanted to have a fox cub, but it failed to do so and my army was defeated.

Chapter 076 Polygamy castration!

“In the name of the Command Seal, Tamamonomae, take back your Regalia!”

The outermost circle of the Command Seal on Ritsuka's right hand had lost its color, leaving only a faint trace.

"Master..."

Tamamonomae, who was lying in Ritsuka's arms, raised her head, her pure eyes filled with disbelief.

"Tamamo, go and achieve victory."
