I really didn't want to burn it.

The sky over Rome lit up with brilliant fireworks.

At this moment, the battle that would determine the fate of the singularity truly began.

Chapter 115 Nero: Get out of Rome!

Mashu felt as if she had crashed into an incredibly solid wall, and the force of the impact sent her flying backward.

No, it's not just "seems," it's absolutely true!

This all-black Lanc is a monster!

Mashu pursed her lips, all the excitement she felt from defeating the corrupted Galahad vanishing.

This Romulus, soaring through the sky, is the strongest opponent he has ever faced.

Although Mashu had fought against Qin Shi Huang before, at that time she was just a minor character in the team, and apart from using her shield to defend, she basically stayed on the sidelines and observed.

But in this battle against Romulus, Mash is undoubtedly the main fighting force.

Compared to Mash's solemnity, Romulus was very relaxed. With two Holy Grails as his backing, his strength was already approaching that of a Grand Servant, and defeating this Demi-Servant in front of him was no problem at all.

He waved his hand, splashing black mud at Matthew, but it was blocked by a white barrier.

"So that's how you resist Roman encroachment?" Romulus sneered. "Merlin... you are indeed a remarkable magician. Someone like you should be Rome's man!"

Seeing that the black mud pollution was ineffective, Romulus changed his combat mode and began to continuously fire black and red magic bullets at Mash.

Seeing that her opponent had changed their fighting strategy, Mashu quickly held her breath and focused. While maintaining her current flight state, she gripped the knight's sword that controlled two shields tightly, locking it firmly onto the rapidly moving Romulus.

The instant the black-armored warrior fired the magic bullet, Mashu suddenly sank downwards, and the trajectory of the black and red magic bullet instantly pierced through her temple. The severed pink hair scattered in the air, reflecting glimmers of light.

"is that a lie……"

Mashu muttered to herself absentmindedly.

The magic bullet just now actually knocked her shield away, and she had no chance to react at all.

Passive defense will kill you! Since that's the case...

"attack!"

In that instant, Mashu seemed to see a hint of appreciative smile flash across Romulus's face, so she didn't hesitate to throw her shield at that smiling face.

Romulus soared through the sky like a black eagle, attacking Mash as he dodged the shield.

The second magic bullet flew in, quickly passing between Mashu's open legs, forcing her to spread her legs to dodge.

The scalding heat burned Mashu's thighs, making her almost think her legs were about to catch fire.

Mashu didn't know how many more of these terrifying magic bullets she could dodge. In these few short exchanges, she had already fully grasped Romulus's power.

It was an overwhelming power that could crush ordinary Servants. A simple, casual attack had the destructive power of a B-rank Noble Phantasm. Ordinary Servants would be completely helpless against such a monster!

If Mash weren't a Servant with enhanced defense, she would probably have been pierced by Romulus's magic bullet by now.

But this Servant in black armor hasn't used his Noble Phantasm yet!

The thought made Mashu's heart pound wildly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead from nervousness.

The moment the decision was made, it was to fight him in close combat.

Mashu's eyes caught the third magic bullet.

"Oops!"

Realizing she was in a daze, Mash quickly summoned a shield to shield herself.

It's a pity it's too late.

Although the shield blocked the magic bullet, the shield, which was deflected, struck its master's shoulder.

Although Mash used the defensive spells on her armor at the last moment, the intense pain still caused her to let out a mournful cry.

"Well……"

Mashu rubbed her left shoulder; the numbness made her wonder if her entire arm was ruined.

"Mash, don't get distracted!"

Just then, Chloris's figure appeared behind Mashu.

Flora controlled several vines to sweep towards Romulus, attempting to capture him.

"Sister Chloris!"

Mashu exclaimed with delight.

"This guy has been modified by the Demon God Pillar and the Holy Grail. He can't get hurt or run out of magic power now. The best way to deal with him is to keep attacking!"

Chloris was giving Mash a live lesson while restricting Romulus's movement.

"Yes, Sister Chloris!"

While coordinating with Chloris's attack, Mashu asked, "Where's Miss DD? Didn't she come?"

"DD went to find that beast Li Ang. They should be finishing their mission right now."

Chloe said, completely unconcerned.

"Hmph, if you're talking about the man who impersonated Sanson, he's already dead!"

Romulus said dismissively.

"What did you say?!" *2

Mashu and Chloris could not believe the result.

Romulus raised his head and replied, "There's nothing strange about it. Since that man isn't from Rome, then he can only die in Rome!"

"Romulus!!"

A black and red light beam suddenly shot out from the ground.

Romulus quickly dodged, but his forearm was still grazed by the beam.

Romulus snorted coldly, annoyed, as he looked at his arm, which had been deformed by the intense heat of the magic cannon.

"King Arthur, are you also going to betray Rome?"

"Hmph!" Artoria Alt's golden eyes were filled with rage. "You actually dared to kill him! How dare you!"

“Since he is not Rome, why shouldn’t I dare?” Romulus said matter-of-factly. “This world should belong to Rome!”

"Who cares about you!"

Artoria Alt abandoned her opponent and charged toward Romulus.

"King Arthur, you should know you can't defeat Rome!"

"It doesn't matter if I die, I'll just take you down with me!"

Artoria Alt was enveloped in a black storm, which swept towards Romulus.

"Follow me!"

Artoria Alt turned her head and roared at her white self.

"Of course!"

Artoria launched an attack on Romulus from another direction.

"[Rhongomyniad! (Shining in the Spear of the End!)]" *2

As magic was slowly infused into them, the two holy lances, each a distinct color, began to rotate slowly while emitting light, like drills piercing the sky.

A dazzling, brilliant light surged from the ground, rising like two towering light towers and hurtling towards the black eagle in the sky.

"Tsk."

Even Romulus wouldn't dare to take the attack of two Holy Lances head-on. You must know that the Holy Lance Rungomminiad is based on the "Pillar of Light" that maintains the surface of the world, and it is barely maintaining its form as a Noble Phantasm by relying on the Thirteen Bindings.

A fully unleashed Holy Lance attack is not merely a magical cannon; if it were to hit completely, Romulus might even be forcibly ripped from the world.

Romulus knew very well that his power was built on the aid of the Holy Grail; if he were to leave Rome, he would no longer be in Rome.

It must be said that Rome is a magical word; it can be a noun, a verb, an adjective, an adverb, and so on.

and so……

"Rise up, Rome!"

Romulus, deeply poisoned by Roman ideology, shouted slogans that even he himself might not understand, and spread his arms wide.

"【P Aspa Ad Astra! (Our arms stretch out all to reach the heavens!)"

Unlike the black mud that appeared in the arena, this time Romulus fired red magic bullets like raindrops.

Although not a Grand-ranked character, Romulus, whose base spirit origin is on the side of a deity, still possesses some of the characteristics of the Grand-ranked Gun God Ancestor.

For example, the concept of "the development and expansion of civilization" contained in the Noble Phantasm, and the powerful destructive force that extends from it.

Thus, to the astonishment of everyone present, Romulus's rain of magic bullets actually managed to repel the pillar of light that was dividing the world.

But that wasn't the end. After being fired into the sky, the magic bullets fell to the ground like raindrops, raining down on everyone present.

"Since you all have grievances against Rome, why don't you just become part of Rome!"

With Romulus's roar, red magic bullets formed a dense net of fire, completely enveloping all the Knights of the Round Table Servants on the battlefield.

"What the hell!"

As Gawain deflected the magic bullet with his greatsword, he complained, "Can I say I'm leaving the Knights of the Round Table and going to Rome?"

Lancelot, who was hiding and dodging, rolled his eyes. "Would you do that?"

"will not."

"Then why are you even talking about chickens?!"

"It was just a dying complaint."

Faced with such a fierce attack, apart from Chloris and Mash who were able to defend themselves, everyone else was forced to run around in all directions by the artillery fire.

The magic bullets under the influence of the Noble Phantasm have a significant effect on the magic resistance armor of the Servants and Knights of the Round Table, and have even begun to affect them themselves.

Mash even discovered that her shield had been stained black—a sign that was about to become Alt.

She wanted to do something, but was suppressed to the ground by the invincible firepower and could not get close to Romulus at all.

In an instant, the balance of power shifted in Romulus's favor.

In the blink of an eye, a flash of white light streaked across the sky and struck Romulus in the sky.

Romulus, who was unleashing his Noble Phantasm, immediately exploded in sparks, and the surface of his dark purple armor turned completely red.

The sudden explosion of magical energy affected the Noble Phantasm that Romulus was unleashing. The magical energy, which was originally under the control of the God Ancestor, went berserk, which then triggered an even larger explosion.

Romulus seemed stunned by the series of events and fell to the ground amidst the thick smoke.

Everyone was stunned; no one knew what had happened.

Mashu was the first to react, turning her head towards the direction from which the light had come.

Although Mashu's eyesight wasn't as good as Arch's clairvoyance, her enhanced vision allowed her to spot a figure charging toward the battlefield at an incredible speed.

Soon, everyone saw it—a golden meteor streaked across the Roman sky.

"You robber who should have been in his coffin long ago!"

A chilling voice instantly resounded throughout the entire battlefield.

"Get out of my Rome!"
