Oh no, I really became Cao Mengde!

Looking behind him, the arrow resting on the ground was actually burning with flames!

“Ohhhhhh!”

The hurt Caligula cried out in pain.

"They're finally here!" At this time Joan of Arc also reacted happily. The Master and others came to support!

Chapter 163 Nero, give everything!

Seeing Caligula being hit, Gudako couldn't help but praise: "Ms. Tomoe Gozen's arrow hit the target, how amazing!"

Tomoe Gozen smiled modestly after receiving the praise: "Actually, this is all thanks to Mr. Emiya's cooperation. If it weren't for his attack attracting Caligula, I wouldn't have been able to successfully harm the enemy."

After discovering that Jeanne was entangled by the enemy and was at a disadvantage in the battle, Cao Mengde ordered the two Archer Servants, Tomoe Gozen and Emiya, to attack from a distance to help Jeanne break the siege because there was still some distance to reach the enemy.

Then the two Archers cooperated temporarily and successfully injured the enemy.

"I just did a small thing." Emiya did not take credit for it. His tone was very calm, looking like a cool and handsome guy.

What a good pretense!

Cao Mengde complained in his heart, glanced at Jeanne and said, "Jeanne and the others have escaped, let's hurry over!"

"Ok!"

Then everyone quickly met up with Joan of Arc and her group.

"Are you all right?" Cao Mengde asked with concern, "What happened?"

"It must be the Allied Forces that attacked us," Jeanne replied. "We were caught off guard and had no choice but to retreat."

Cao Mengde glanced at the condition of Jeanne and the others. Jeanne was fine, nothing serious was wrong with her, and her body was clean without even a speck of dust (although it was spotless due to her own BUFF).

But the situation of their Roman soldiers was not very good. Each of them had a look of fatigue and fear on their face, and some of them even had no equipment.

It can be seen that because of the sudden attack by Caligula, everyone who was resting did not have time to react, and was immediately frightened when they saw the army brought by Caligula.

Moreover, after Joan of Arc gave the order to retreat, Caligula came up alone and her own people were unable to stop him. Joan of Arc, who was very powerful in their eyes, could only fight the enemy on equal terms. Her inner will to fight had long been scared away.

"It seems that we can't expect to send these people to the battlefield in the short term." Cao Mengde sighed in his heart.

They have lost their will to fight, and letting them continue fighting would be courting death.

"Is the enemy the coalition forces? Then the one fighting you is an enemy servant, right? Who is he?" Cao Mengde asked.

Because it was quite far away, and when Joan of Arc and Caligula were fighting, the speed was so fast that it was like a mosaic, so it was impossible to see the enemy's specific face. I only knew that the man was wearing golden armor.

There was no way, Cao Mengde didn't have eagle eyes or clairvoyance. Even though the [Ghost Seed Demon] skill improved his physical fitness, his vision was only better than that of a normal person.

So I can only ask Jeanne d'Arc.

"The enemy Servant's real name is—"

"Ni...! Lu...!"

Before Joan of Arc could say the other person's real name, a difficult roar was heard from the distance.

When Nero's name was called, his expression suddenly changed, and he said in amazement: "No way, such a violent voice, could it be——"

Cao Mengde couldn't help but frown, revealing a strange expression: "Such a fanatical cry, and full of devilish courage, could he be——"

Then, a golden figure appeared at the source of the sound, confirming their guess.

"Caligula/Uncle!"

"Caligula? Uncle?" Gudako looked puzzled.

Mashu explained, "He was the third emperor of Rome. According to legend, he fell into madness because he was favored by the moon goddess Diana. He caused the Roman Empire to fall into a state of fear until he was assassinated."

"As for why Miss Nero called him uncle, it's because Nero's mother Agrippina was Caligula's sister."

"Oh! So that's how it is!" Gudako understood.

When Nero saw Caligula appear, he could not help but be surprised: "How young, how violent! The cloak behind him is as red as a rose flower... There is no doubt that this is my uncle!"

But Nero showed a sad look: "But why, what is the reason that makes you wander around the world and form a united empire to attack my Rome?"

Caligula seemed to have calmed down. He looked at Nero, who was like a delicate flower in front of him. His face overlapped with hers, which made him look sad.

"Ah...ah...my dear...my sister...daughter..."

"What I did...was due to fate..."

"Give...your...life."

"Offer...your...body."

"Offer—"

Caligula opened his mouth wide, and a violent magical aura suddenly erupted from his body, shouting loudly: "Everything!!!"

Bang!

At that moment, Caligula rushed towards Nero, so fast that he made a sound, and arrived in front of Nero in the blink of an eye!

He curled his right hand into a claw and grabbed Nero!

"Ugh! Uncle...why on earth are you guys--" Nero pursed his lips, with a hint of unwillingness and strong determination in his eyes.

Although Caligula was very fast, Nero's reaction was not slow either. Now as a pseudo-Servant, she would not be attacked by Caligula so easily.

She immediately transformed her rose sword and used the sword upright to block Caligula's attack.

when!

Although Nero successfully blocked Caligula's attack, she was also pushed back a few steps by the opponent's attack. The force was amazing!

And at this time, the army brought by Caligula also charged over. It was a huge force, with at least a thousand people!

Seeing that the battle had already begun, Cao Mengde immediately ordered: "All followers, fight!"

"Tomoe Gozen, Emiya, and Medusa, go stop those soldiers! The rest of you, help Nero defeat Caligula!"

"Yes!"

Following Cao Mengde's order, all the followers rushed out to carry out the order given by Cao Mengde.

Tomoe Gozen, Emiya, and Medusa, the three most well-rounded contestants, charged into the enemy army from three directions and blocked the army of a thousand men with their superior fighting skills and powerful abilities.

Tomoe Gozen's madness, Emiya's coldness, and Medusa's extreme speed made the enemy troops miserable and fell into a frenzy where they didn't know how to fight.

And the other side.

"Oppressor, embrace my love!"

Although Caligula's target had always been Nero, his offensive was slowed down by Spartacus, Joan of Arc and Mathew, making it difficult for him to get close to Nero and he instead suffered many injuries.

This made him furious and he kept yelling Nero's name.

After the battle started, the advantage seemed to be directly on the side of Chaldea. If the fight continued, the enemy would definitely be defeated.

Not to mention, there was also the army led by Boudica coming later.

Chapter 164 Inherent barrier, golden theater!

"Uncle, what exactly is your purpose?"

Nero struck Caligula back with a sword, leaving a scar on his body, and questioned him sternly.

Although she had learned from Chaldea and his group that everything that was happening now was due to the burning of human logic caused by Magic King Solomon, and the birth of the singularity was caused by his Demon Pillar using the Holy Grail.

The purpose is to distort and confuse human principles, so as to achieve his result of burning human principles.

However, Nero always felt that her uncles and the god Romulus had other purposes for her and her Rome, and it was not as simple as just obeying the orders of the enemy.

The defeated Caligula showed a sad expression and stared at Nero without paying any attention to his injuries.

"Nero! Why... don't you want to make a contribution...?"

"Devotion? Why should I dedicate myself?"

Nero didn't quite understand what Caligula said, and kept saying things that were incomprehensible. Could he explain it more clearly?

"Nero, stop talking to the enemy. Talking to the Berserker will only waste your time!" Cao Mengde shouted at Nero, "Use your treasure to kill him! This is a good opportunity to destroy the enemy's manpower!"

"Noble Phantasm...?"

Cao Mengde's words were not only heard by Nero, but also by Caligula. Then he showed a puzzled expression on his face, as if he was thinking - isn't Nero a living person now? How can he use the treasure?

Then he saw a determined look in Nero's emerald eyes and felt the familiar fluctuations of magic coming from her.

The rose sword in her hand was burning with blazing flames of magic!

Caligula immediately realized that this was a sign that Nero was about to release his treasure!

but why?!

"Master, I understand!" Nero said seriously, "Since my uncle is unwilling to tell me the truth, I can only find the answer myself and destroy your United Empire!"

"Let the things that are past be buried in the grave!"

Nero raised her right hand, and a golden light bloomed from her palm. Rose petals appeared out of thin air and fluttered in the air. The air was filled with a faint rose scent.

Then, Nero raised the rose sword in her hand and stabbed it into the ground fiercely. A red beam of light rose from under her feet and turned into a circular magic circle.

Then, the circular magic circle emitted a golden glow and extended in all directions, forming a magnificent palace!

No - this is a theater, the Golden Theater built by Nero!

"How amazing!" Gudako stood in the Golden Theater, dazzled by the glittering golden decorations around her. "Ms. Nero actually summoned a building when she used her Noble Phantasm?!"

The city that Mashu summoned after activating her Noble Phantasm was just a blurry projection, which was still acceptable.

But now the Golden Theater summoned by Nero's Noble Phantasm is actually a physical object! When you step on it, you can feel the hardness of the ground, and you can no longer feel the softness of the grass you stepped on before!

It's not a projection at all!

"No, Nero didn't summon the building." Cao Mengde shook his head and answered for Gudako: "Instead, he projected the landscape of her mind."

"Mental landscape, what is that?" Gudako asked.

Because it involves magic, Olga Marie couldn't help but act as a teacher at this time: "A kind of [Inherent Barrier]. A subspecies of fantasy materialization, it is a barrier formed by the caster's mental world that erodes reality. It is the magic closest to magic, and is considered a forbidden spell in the Magic Association."

"Heroic spirits that can cast inherent barriers are usually very powerful. If humans were to fight them, they would definitely be targeted by the Clock Tower."

"Is that so? I think I understand."

Gudako nodded, somewhat understanding what Olga Marie said, and then said, "In other words, that Caligula will be defeated by Nero's Noble Phantasm, right?"

“Of course.” Roman nodded and said, “The inherent barrier is usually the user’s home turf. If the enemy is not strong enough, they will be defeated!”

On the other side of the battlefield, Emiya looked towards Nero unconsciously: "Is it an inherent barrier? But it doesn't seem to be..."

I don't know which one is more powerful, compared to my own inherent barrier.

“Ni…! Lu…! What… is going on!!”

At this time, Caligula, who was shrouded in the Golden Theater, was a little panicked, because the development of things was somewhat beyond his expectations - Nero could actually activate the Noble Phantasm!

In other words, the Nero in front of us is not the living Nero of this era, but the Servant Nero!

However, Nero did not want to answer Caligula's question. She shouted with a smile: "Appreciate my talent and listen to the thunderous applause! Then praise, praise this golden theater!"

Her emerald eyes locked onto Caligula, and she charged towards him, slashing with the rose sword in her hand, and shouted, "Laus Saint Claudius (The Glorious Empire Sung by the Virgins)!"

A flash of red light appeared around Caligula's waist, and Nero appeared behind him.

"Ni...! Lu...!"

Nero just stood there quietly, not looking at what was happening to Caligula behind him. Instead, he closed his eyes and gently tapped the tip of his sword on the ground.

boom!

And at the moment the tip of the sword touched the ground, the area around Caligula suddenly exploded, and a red-white beam of light shot straight into the sky!

It was like a volcano erupted on the spot!

Later, under Nero's control, the Golden Theater gradually disappeared and returned to its original plain.

Looking at Caligula at this time, the golden armor he was wearing had already shown signs of being charred, and most of the bright red skin behind him had also been burned.

What was even more eye-catching was that there was a wound more than ten meters long on his abdomen, from which blood was trickling out.

"No... No... No..."
