My mother's love song

The slight change made Rhodes hesitate for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

Are you trying to make me feel guilty?

Sorry, I'm a thick-skinned man and I won't fall for this kind of thing from women.

Damn it... How dare you hurt my master.

Since you are someone I don’t know, I will beat you to death.

Gray mustered up the courage to talk to the girl: "Um...did you make a mistake somewhere?"

"What……?"

Facing the surprised girl, Gray and Rhode exchanged a glance and continued, "Lord Rhode doesn't remember you. Is there something wrong? We can sit down and clear up the misunderstanding..."

"Yes, he really doesn't remember me anymore."

The black-haired, red-eyed girl sneered.

"How could a big shot like him remember me, who was thrown away by him like trash?"

"……what?"

Gray was stunned for a moment.

She is... the girl who was abandoned by Lord Rhodes?

"You're lying! Brother Rod would never do such a thing!"

Matou Sakura, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly shouted and accused excitedly.

"Brother Rod never gave up even on someone like me! He would never do what you said!"

"never mind……"

Rhode held down Ying's trembling shoulders, shook his head to signal her not to continue, and then smiled and said to the girl in the sky: "Sorry, I have hugged too many girls, so I can't remember for the moment.

But, I don't remember hugging a woman as unrefined as you. You must have recognized the wrong person, right?"

After hearing the boy's frivolous reply, the passion in the girl's body instantly dissipated.

"In that case, I will respond with a corresponding name.

I am... By the way, just call me Faker

【Faker】Aleister Crowley is here to kill you and eliminate you."

"Faker? You dare to say that."

The moment he heard this, Rhodes raised the corner of his mouth.

"Is it my illegitimate fan?

This is really disturbing, can you please stop this behavior?

This is the first time I've heard someone proudly call themselves a fake. It seems like you feel quite honored to use my name to commit crimes."

In that smile filled with contempt and arrogance, the frivolous attitude he had shown so far completely disappeared.

Rhodes noticed it earlier than anyone else.

There had not been a single lie in what she had said so far.

"The culprit who attacked my sister and me and caused the London fog was a woman who called herself Aleister Crowley."

Sakura's words surfaced in Rod's mind.

"..."

The girl closed her eyes slightly and spread her arms gracefully.

While adjusting his breathing, he let his magic power spread through his skin.

"This, this is...how could this happen!?"

Gray, who was once trained as a gravekeeper, possesses telepathic abilities far beyond those of ordinary people.

She can use her magic to sense subtle changes in spirits.

Magic is like fingerprints and irises, it is a unique identification of a magician.

Therefore, even if they are blood-related parents or twins, their magical aura cannot be the same.

However, the mysterious girl who appeared before them obviously had the same magical power as Rhode.

Chapter 516 Ahhahaha…so it was really the sins I committed in the past?

The girl's black ponytail fluttered in the wind.

She looked calm and composed, and suddenly raised her slender jade finger and pointed it straight at Rhodes.

"Aleister Crowley... let me see if your strength has weakened due to the comfortable life in the human world."

"You mean an easy life!?"

Rhodes frowned unhappily: How dare you say that, woman? You obviously don't know what I've been through.

"Try it if you can, you arrogant woman!"

"Humph."

The girl bent her upper body slightly and took a step forward.

In an instant, she rushed towards Rhode, stepping on the air at a speed that was difficult for Gray and Sakura to follow.

"Lord Rhodes!"

Gray shouted loudly, and almost at the same time, Rhode jumped from the ground to the air and rushed towards the girl.

Without any hesitation, Rhodes drew out the black holy sword burning with aurora, and drew a bright arc with both hands.

The holy sword flashed with enough energy to blow away the entire street.

While slicing through the thick fog, the sword swung towards the girl's slender neck.

The next moment, the black aurora illuminated the daylight on the streets of London.

In the blazing light, the black-haired girl stared at the boy intently, raising the corner of her mouth.

Before the holy sword chopped off her head, the sword flash that Rhodes was so proud of was blocked.

"……Well?"

Surprise stuck in his throat, Rhodes widened his eyes and opened his mouth slightly.

What surprised him was not that his attack was blocked, but the treasure that appeared in the girl's hand.

The same as the one held in Rhodes's hand, the Holy Sword of the Star, which should have been unique in this world.

"Don't think you can get away with it! Our hatred! Our sorrow! Our despair!

Experience it for yourself, you betrayer!!!"

……

……

……

It was a scene like a war in a myth.

Gray and Sakura Matou on the ground opened their eyes wide and watched this dazzling and fleeting battle nervously.

A sword duel that was beyond the girls' comprehension and in which they had no chance to intervene was unfolding.

The air creaked as the two men holding holy swords faced each other head-on.

The sound of blades colliding was like playing percussion instruments, and sparks fell like withered roses, emitting a burning smell.

Rhodes continued to swing the holy sword, slashing at the girl holding the black holy sword at the speed of light.

His opponent calmly raised his holy sword, taking all of the boy's attacks and launching a swift counterattack.

The girl's martial arts were excellent. Gray and Sakura could only barely see the afterimage of her flawless sword skills, but it was not enough to amaze Rhode.

"Excalibur... Why do you have this?" Rhodes asked while parrying her counterattack.

"Use your pathetic brain to think about the humble king's hammer!"

The girl swung her sword to cut through the void, and the black aurora filled the sky like splashed ink.

Doesn't she only possess the Holy Sword, but also the Iron Hammer of the Lowly King?

Rhode used an unusual dodge to break through the release of her holy sword, took a step forward, and stabbed the blade straight at the girl's heart.

The girl retracted the blade and manipulated the long sword with minimal movement, blocking the fatal slash.

In the sonata of steel, such a split-second clash has occurred thousands of times.

It was a battle of equals. That was the most accurate description.

Whether in martial arts or magic, it was hard to tell who was better between Rhode and her. They even used the same treasure.

In a battle like this, it is impossible to determine the winner.

"Are you so anxious because you can't gain an advantage?" The black-haired girl with a ponytail raised her eyes.

"Humph, you're the one who's anxious."

Rhodes kept his composure and took her attack slowly.

"You can't even touch the hem of my skirt with this level of slashing, and you can't defeat me if you have to take care of the girl and the street beside you and can't release your sword with your true name.

Why not use the power? There are some, that kind of thing."

As he spoke, Rhodes saw the girl's smile.

She danced with her sword gracefully and said slowly, "Crown of Ten...Use your power quickly."

"!"

Rhodes frowned slightly: This guy... even knows the name of my power?

Who is she?

This confusion flashed through my mind for a moment, but was immediately dispelled.

Instead of dwelling on this matter here, it would be better to knock her down and force the truth out of her using force.

Do you want to use the power [Crown of Ten]?

When Rhodes thought about this, he felt a strong sense of disobedience in his heart.

Knowing the [Crown of Ten], can she still remain so calm?

There is something wrong with this woman... Could it be that she also possesses the [Crown of Ten]?

Let's not use our powers for now and observe the situation...

"To deal with a person like you, I don't even need any power. I don't even need to release my Noble Phantasm. I can kill you with just hand-to-hand combat!"

"I don't think you're as powerful as you say."

The girl deflected Rhodes' sword and stabbed him in the chest.

"Tsk."

After barely dodging the attack, what followed was a dazzling dance of attacks from all directions, without even a moment to catch his breath.

The reason why she was able to do this was not because of her exquisite martial arts, but because

The sword skills she used were exactly the same as Rhodes'.

This is simply not possible.

You have to know that Rhodes' swordsmanship was not learned from a certain swordsman's school, but a skill he mastered on his own in his long life.

In human terms, it was [my style of swordsmanship], but in Rhode's case, it was more like imprinting the swordsmanship on his body rather than calling it his own style.

Swinging the sword based solely on savagery, instinct, and reflexes can actually minimize latency, while also giving you a greater advantage when engaging an enemy for the first time.

But this time, Rhodes couldn't gain any advantage.

It was as if the girl already knew at what angle and with what force he would swing the sword, and she gave the most correct response perfectly every time.

That handsome face remained completely calm, and Rhodes' expression was reflected in his sparkling pupils.
