"Is everything alright, Senior, Your Majesty Nero?"
After learning the enemy's identity, Mashu asked with some concern:
"The enemy is Alexander the Great, and the famous Chinese strategist Zhuge Liang... Wouldn't such a rash attack fall into their trap?"
“Hmm, that’s possible,” Nero nodded. “However, if things continue like this, the remaining troops are likely to be trapped in this valley. So rather than cowering like tortoises, we should fight a real battle!”
Nero's magic surged and flames erupted, and the Meteorite Scepter appeared in his hand, which he used to cleave the carriage in two!
Hey Hey hey!
We're still in the carriage!
Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu felt their feet lose their footing and quickly stumbled to regain their balance.
His Majesty the Emperor is the kind of person who does whatever he says, which is really baffling... However, given Nero's exhausted body after forcing himself to use his Reality Marble, Fujimaru Ritsuka is quite worried.
However, Nero seemed to have been given a shot of adrenaline and was once again in high spirits.
Her green-tinged red eyes looked at the young king who was tumbling down from the cliff.
"Ah..."
Golden wisps of hair covered her forehead, and her crimson figure burned like flames.
Ni, Liu Yi Yin Er Ba Si Si 8 Lu Claudius.
An emperor who trampled on the hopes of many living people, an emperor who brought a luxurious imperial system to Rome.
"Alexander, the Conqueror?"
"boring..."
"I am the only emperor in heaven and earth, I am the one and only [Rome] destined to rule the world, crowned with the title of Rose Emperor."
Chapter 64 You were defeated by Rome!
Siegfried encountered a follower wielding a giant shield and a spear.
He stood alone in front of her.
“King Leonidas of Sparta… I am the one guarding this place. You will not be able to get out and unite with Rome unless you defeat me.”
"I am Siegfried. I'm sorry, I must defeat you."
"A dragon-slaying hero, huh? Very well, let's see if you can break through my shield."
After exchanging names, the two began their battle.
There's not much to describe.
A battle between turtle shells.
A guardian of the fiery gate, 300 men against 100,000 heroes of Thermopylae.
One is a dragon-slaying warrior whose body is indestructible after being bathed in dragon blood.
If there are no unexpected developments outside the arena, this battle will likely drag on for quite some time.
However, there were indeed unexpected events off the field.
For example, Miss Jing Ke has been secretly observing the situation, and if nothing unexpected happens, His Majesty Leonidas is likely to encounter an accident.
However, the battlefield here is not the focus; the focus is on Nero's side.
Alexander III, King of Macedon, was a young boy eager to ask Nero his questions about the throne.
However... the living Nero and the Heroic Nero are not the same.
She naturally possesses the adorable and gentle side of swordsman Nero, and the shy, budding charm of bride Nero, but at the same time, she also has a tyrannical and demonic side... This demonic side is the sin of the Roman Empire, which devoured all nations.
Alexander was somewhat curious.
He stepped off the cliff, smiled slightly, and was quite polite.
"Nice to meet you, Nero Claudius, the fifth emperor of Rome."
"Are you Alexander the Conqueror?" Nero asked.
"Not yet, at least not in this posture... Well, such trivial matters don't matter, let's speak frankly."
The handsome young man smiled slightly: "Then let me ask you, Nero..."
The young conqueror's tone suddenly turned serious: "Why...why are you fighting?"
Nero paused, then said, "Why fight? It's obvious: to retake Rome."
"Is that so? The other side is also Rome. If you submit to the United Empire and become one of the emperors, there will be no pointless fighting. However, you are now fighting against the spirits of the dead with your living bodies. Whether you succeed in the end or not, there will be sacrifices and bloodshed. In return, all you will get is your own Roman Empire, nothing more."
A prosperous empire?
Ask yourself honestly, was the Nero-ruled empire, rife with rebellions, truly a prosperous empire, or merely a facade of decadence and debauchery?
Rome would undoubtedly have been more prosperous if she hadn't gone to war.
Wise rulers like the Divine Ancestor and Caesar would certainly be more popular than a flamboyant tyrant like Nero.
Mashu retorted, "But if Nero fails now, humanity will face its end... and our history will be erased—"
Alexander waved his hand: "You are the ones who will be destroyed, so why should Nero fight? It is true that Rome is an important part of your [future], but she has no reason to fight for you, from different countries, hundreds of centuries from now, does she?"
Mashu remained silent.
"Hehe...hehehehe, well said, Conqueror King."
Nero smiled through his grim expression: "You're right, the other party is the Divine Ancestor. If we're talking about who is more Roman than I am."
"But I am the emperor..."
"No one is allowed to overstep their bounds, no one is allowed to be above me... not even past blood relatives, or wise rulers, or even the legendary true ancestor himself..."
Nero's voice accompanied the sharp, primordial fire sword, his blood-red eyes accompanied by a beast-like roar, as he slashed at Alexander with fierce momentum and unstoppable spirit!
"At this moment, the one who reigns over the land in the name of the Emperor is none other than I!"
"I am the one and only Roman Emperor, a shining star, and only I in this era bear the destiny of Rome!"
"I am the oppressor, the ruler, the emperor who bears the burden of both good and evil!"
His golden boots pounded the earth, and his blood-red eyes shone with a dazzling light. Like a raging fire, the emperor, after defeating Alexander with a series of devastating blows, roared at the world with powerful words, displaying his imperial authority!
"I am, without a doubt, the true Rome! This love..."
"A fervent clamor that burns the soul, an irresistible cheer for prosperity! If you dare to challenge me, then come on! I'll take you on! - Moonchair Ilyinchi (B4) Qisiwu Fliu"
The scorching heat wave startled Alexander slightly, but the next second, the young conqueror's face lit up with joy and excitement!
"This is it! This is what I want to hear, Your Majesty!"
Alexander shouted!
He was excited; such domineering and arrogant behavior was truly admirable.
“That’s right! You’re neither a wise king nor a benevolent ruler… but one thing I’m certain of, Nero Claudius!”
"Your path is a flourishing rose that grows from the black tide! It is the number of the fallen beast of humanity's sins!"
"Your path to kingship is the path of demons! Nero, you..."
Alexander unleashed his lightning with all his might towards the scorching flames!
"He is the Demon King of this world!"
The trembling lightning sparks coalesced into a dazzling light, and the young emperor, shouting the triumphant cry of victory, summoned Busifaras!
"Then let's settle this once and for all, Nero Claudius! Show me the true path of your magic!"
Black warhorses trampled lightning and clouds, their furious roars sounding like the fury of wild beasts, and a whooshing sound filled the air. Yet Nero could hear the magnificent voice of "Rome"!
Yes, this is Rome!
Rome will not lose!
"Well..."
Nero's magic continues to expand.
Like an inexhaustible source of production, her flames burned, destined to engulf her one day—but for now… the one and only emperor, the guardian of Rome, that was all she had! That was everything to her!
Soon, very soon her power surpassed that of Alexander, who was a Servant.
"Such powerful magic...I'm afraid...I probably can't win in my current state, can I?"
[Discerning Eye] ↑!
[The strategist's wise advice] ↑!
[The strategist's command] ↑!
Full of energy and with his muscles bulging, an incredible power surged within Alexander, making him seem like a completely different person in an instant!
The red robe fluttered, bright and eye-catching, and the young man was heroic and spirited, his eyes shining.
"teacher!"
Alexander was taken aback.
"Go."
El-Melloi II sighed softly: "You are destined to become a great conqueror, and one day... countless people will follow your shadow and witness your triumphant figure—but before that moment arrives, let me witness it!"
"it is good!"
Alexander responded with a loud shout.
His lightning transformed into pillars of light, and his warhorse shone with divine radiance!
"In order for that day to come, we should take this step now!"
"Here we go, Nero! Are you ready?"
“Come.” Nero did not back down, but faced the violent blow that was trampling towards her head-on. At this moment, Alexander was unleashing a strike with all his might, and with Kongming’s blessing, its power had reached an extremely terrifying level.
"Hu~~"
Now that things have come to this, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu can no longer just stand by and watch.
If you think of this attack as just an ordinary anti-army Noble Phantasm, you'd be sorely mistaken. With Zhuge Liang's assistance... Alexander's attack is absolutely beyond imagination!
He was serious about fighting, wanting to give it his all!
It's not about destroying or saving humanity; it's simply because the battle is here, so he'll risk everything to climb to the top!
Fujimaru Ritsuka could sense the soaring fighting spirit and unwavering belief contained within it, so she took a deep breath...
"Go, Mash."
"In order to reclaim our rightful place in human history."
"Yes, senior!"
Mash raised her shield and then unleashed her dazzling Noble Phantasm without hesitation!
The horse's hooves pounded on the white chalk city wall, and with a fierce collision, Nero's flaming sword attacked from another direction!
"Don't forget, I'm here too."
El-Melloi pushed up his glasses. Although he was a pseudo-Servant and could not fully exert the power of a Servant, El-Melloi II, who had experience as a Master, knew when it was most appropriate to provide support. If he used his Noble Phantasm at this moment, wouldn't the enemy be blown up?
"You're right, Lord El-Melloi, and me too~~"
"Um--?"
Startled, El-Melloi II realized he had been outmaneuvered. Just as he was about to activate his Noble Phantasm, he was abruptly interrupted by a pair of crimson eyes.
"This is... the Demon Eye?! Gold-grade... Gem-grade... no, what exactly is it—"
No way! Could it be the legendary Rainbow-level Demon Eye?!
"Olgamari Animusfia asked me to give you her regards."
“Olga Marie, oh. That young lady from the Astrophysics Department…” King El-Melloi II paused slightly, “What is your relationship with her?”
what relationship?
I call her my wife, and she calls me her disciple.
...Um...
