Nobody knows how to be a villain better than me.

His voice was gentle yet filled with pain.

So, the girl who should have just been dreaming about tomorrow...

For the village, for the country,

Moreover, for the sake of the Lord, they left their homeland and chose the path of battle.

From then on, she was divinely aided, invincible wherever she went, and brought a brilliant light to France.

But as the purple-haired saint said, God is fair; after favoring her many times, He finally favored the Burgundians once.

She was captured and became a prisoner awaiting trial.

In fact, death is not scary for girls.

What is intolerable is the defilement of faith.

"Light originates from darkness, destruction is rebirth, and God comes from the devil..."

“I once granted you free will, which you usually call ‘fall’…”

"Your Lord doesn't care about your faith, so why be a foolish martyr? A meaningless martyr..."

His eyes, resembling those of a snake, looked at her with a mocking gaze, as if he were a man eyeing a woman, asking questions with a hint of urgency.

"So, Holy Maiden, abandon that meaningless persistence and tell me, what do you desire?"

"I can grant you everything!"

Are you eager?

Above the golden wheat field, an innocent maiden raises her gently clasped hands to receive the boundless light from the heavens, like a saint bathed in radiance, separating light and darkness into two distinct worlds.

The heavens are the glory of God, and the firmament is the work of God.

The warm light spread across the earth, reaching even the other side of the world.

My end is here, my destiny is here, and my life is here.

My life is equivalent to nothingness, like a shadow wandering everywhere.

Lord, I entrust this body to you—

May new hope follow despair.

The murmured whispers are both a prayer and an answer.

The beautiful dream world shattered like glass, and the girl sleeping soundly in the small hotel also woke up slowly as her consciousness returned.

Feeling the warmth falling on her skin and the soft light shining into her eyes, the girl with golden braids looked out the window and unconsciously murmured to herself.

Daylight broke...

Well then, it's time to set off.

The girl got out of bed and quietly put on her clothes.

In the dimly lit room, on the smooth back facing away from the mirror, red engravings resembling angel wings covered the fair and translucent skin, creating a sacred beauty.

However, this sacred sight was soon concealed by the covering clothing.

The girl, dressed and ready, came to the table. Looking at the advanced mathematics book spread out on the table, she raised her hand to her forehead and suddenly felt a headache coming on. The pure smile that was originally on her face was replaced by a touch of youthful melancholy.

This is too difficult. I didn't finish my homework again last night...

Well, there's still some time before school starts. If it really doesn't work out, I'll catch up when I get to Tulifas.

Having made up her mind, the girl casually put several textbooks on the table with "Reticia" written on them into her suitcase.

Then, a French high school girl named Laetitia opened the door, left the key on the counter, walked to the roadside, extended her right arm, raised her thumb, and clenched her other fingers into a fist with the other fingers pointing upwards, making a "hitchhiking" gesture.

Unfortunately, international travel is far more expensive than she imagined, and she's almost out of money before even reaching Tulifas.

For the rest of the journey, Leticia had to adopt a cost-saving approach to continue her travels.

The Holy Grail War in Tulipas has not officially begun yet.

Lord, please let me meet a kind person on my way soon.

Leticia, with her arms raised, prayed silently as she waited.

"Stab!"

Just as the girl was holding the cross to her chest with her left hand and silently praying, a passing Hummer SUV suddenly stopped and pulled up in front of her.

Need a ride?

A handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes (who was traveling with Xiao Mo and was using the guise of a Holy Sword Wielder, with the added effect of cognitive distortion) rolled down the car window and looked at the girl by the roadside with a friendly smile.

So fast?

Leticia was slightly taken aback, then nodded subconsciously, her gaze drifting absently to the man in front of the car window.

I don't know why, but it feels strangely familiar.

"Lingxia, help her put down her luggage."

"Let me do it……"

Before the girl could think further, a beautiful and gentle green-haired woman got out of the car upon hearing the noise and took the initiative to make friends.

So beautiful.

However, the moment their eyes met, Liu Daolingxia couldn't help but be slightly stunned, her eyes filled with admiration.

The girl's hair, swaying gently in the morning light filtering through the trees, was as beautiful as golden silk. Her amethyst-like eyes, gazing at him, were incredibly clear, making Liu Daolingxia feel an involuntary sense of shame and guilt.

The feeling was like a convict stained with sin meeting the loving Mother of God.

Fortunately, Liu Daolingxia quickly suppressed the strange feeling, reached out to open the trunk, helped Leticia put her belongings in, and then gently led her into the car.

Because it is a well-equipped off-road vehicle, the interior space is large and spacious.

Moreover, Leticia discovered that there were two other passengers besides the couple.

In the front passenger seat, a girl of similar age, with a short blonde ponytail, wearing hot pants and a tank top, was engrossed in playing a game console.

In the corner of the back seat, a well-behaved and adorable little girl with white hair was greedily licking the yogurt lid, her little tongue flicking out and scraping away every bit of yogurt hidden in the crevices. She clearly had a great fondness for this sweet and sour snack.

The four people in front of me looked just like a family of four on a trip, exuding a warm and sweet atmosphere.

This situation reassured Leticia considerably.

As the car restarted and drove along the long country road, Liu Daolingxia, sitting in the back seat, glanced at the figure in the driver's seat, smiled slightly, and took the initiative to chat with the high school girl who was hitchhiking.

After a brief conversation, Liu Daolingxia, who has a knack for socializing, quickly became acquainted with Laetitia, a high school girl from France. The two hit it off and exchanged some basic information.

"Going to Tulifas? Perfect, we are too."

"Turifas has been quite turbulent lately, so it's not really a good place for tourism..."

Upon hearing this, Leticia pondered for a moment and couldn't help but offer a subtle reminder, unwilling to let this harmonious and friendly family of four step into the battlefield where a bloody curtain was about to be drawn.

Whether it's the feud between magician families, the Holy Grail War, or the unfolding of mysterious events... these are often not good things for most ordinary people. Getting too close to them can easily bring unnecessary disasters.

"Not peaceful? What's there to be afraid of? Dare to mess with me, I'll beat you up one by one, two by two!"

However, the rebellious girl with a single ponytail in the passenger seat was unimpressed. She patted her chest, raised her head, and made a solemn promise.

Before Leticia could figure out how to persuade the confident and arrogant rebellious girl ahead, the driver turned his head slightly and asked with a playful expression.

"Speaking of which, since you knew it was so dangerous, why did you still go to Tulifas, Leticia?"

"Because I heard the revelation, I must respond..."

The high school girl tightened her grip on the cross on her chest, answered devoutly, her distant gaze seemingly piercing through the barriers of time and space, seeing the once tormented Domrémi and the people kneeling in prayer, a pure smile spreading across her face as she uttered her firm vow.

"……as always!"

"Is it possible that..."

The driver, speaking in a slow, eerie tone, emphasized the words.

"...Did you mishear me?"

"How could that be! I will surely walk on the path that the Lord has shown me!"

Leticia answered confidently and without hesitation.

The driver adopted a skeptical attitude and asked with a light hum.

"Okay, then tell me, what did He say?"

"Mediate disputes, maintain order, and rescue..."

"To save the world! At the very least, we must not allow the impending conflict in Tulipas to affect any more innocent people!"

Leticia spoke solemnly, her beautiful face radiating a holy glow.

The driver gave him a look as if he were a conman, his face full of disbelief.

"Those who falsely claim to be in the name of God will go to hell after death."

"The Spirit of the Lord is here!"

The noble seeker of the Way, pointing to his chest which bears the weight of solemn human sentiment, pulls out the shield of the doctrine of the Trinity and solemnly guarantees it.

Okay, okay, you have big breasts, so you get to decide!

At this moment, the son, who was acting as the driver, glanced at the astonishing undulations in the rearview mirror, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, his eyes rolling back, speechless.

Since you've already figured everything out, what else can I say?

Just as the man and woman inside the car were exchanging words, a blazing aura, like the scorching sun, surged forth from ahead, rippling outwards in invisible waves.

"Stop!"

Inside the Hummer SUV, Leticia sensed the unusual magical fluctuations in the air, her expression turned serious, and she immediately pressed down on the driver's shoulder, pleading.

Samael, who was also aware of the situation, stepped on the brake and pulled his vehicle over to the side of the road.

"It's dangerous ahead, please leave immediately!"

As the SUV came to a stop, the girl quickly opened the car door, got out, took out her suitcase, and walked away alone. As she passed the car window, she turned her head and gave a serious reminder.

Samael nodded, and without making a sound, used a concealment spell to cover the entire vehicle, quietly parking it behind a gentle slope.

Immediately, Gu She turned off the fire, adjusted his seat, skillfully opened a small storage box on the side, took out melon seeds, wine, and braised food, distributed them to everyone, and looked forward with amusement, as if he were watching a good show.

The crowd, bewildered as they accepted the snacks and drinks, followed suit, clinging to the car seats, eyes wide with excitement, eagerly awaiting the start of the show.

At the same time, Leticia, who was standing in the strong wind, stopped and looked up as if she sensed something.

On the rustling tree trunk, a handsome young man with white hair, wearing gold earrings and heterochromatic red and blue eyes, stood proudly, looking down indifferently, like a golden statue shining in the night. He was dressed in magnificent golden armor and a scarlet cloak.

The moment their eyes met, a chilling killing intent flashed in their heterochromatic red and blue eyes.

"Wake up."

In an instant, the golden figure on the branch fell to the ground like a meteor amidst a faint murmur.

Leticia, clutching her suitcase, suddenly felt her pupils contract sharply.

"boom!"

Amidst the billowing dust, a holy maiden clad in light silver armor and a long white dress, holding a rolled-up banner, slid back a few steps, slowly rose, and looked intently at the figure approaching through the dust.

"The red team's Lancer, Karna, son of the sun god Surya, right?"

"Oh?"

"My name is Jeanne d'Arc, the Ruler of this Holy Grail War. You know what it means to attack me, right?"

“Speaking out what you already understand is hardly wise. My presence here is itself a clear declaration of war.”

Karna spoke calmly, readily admitting his actions. At the same time, he raised the golden spear in his hand, and crimson magic power gushed forth from his body like a waterfall.

"I'm sorry, but considering your privileges, I have no reason to hold back. Let this final blow decide the outcome."

As the magic grew stronger and its power increased, Joan of Arc's purple eyes narrowed slightly, and she instinctively adopted a defensive stance.

A fierce battle is about to break out.

"Go! Saber!"

Just then, a sudden shout came from the woods, and a sharp sword light swept forward from behind.
