"Lord, I am committed to this body——————!"

Joan of Arc got rid of all hesitation and waved the straight sword in her hand towards the "Dragon Witch".

The red light mixed with pure white engulfed her and Black Jeanne.

Then it expanded rapidly and enveloped everyone on the battlefield, including the two Gil de Reyes and the evil dragon Fafnir.

This is Joan of Arc's other Noble Phantasm, [La Pucelle].

Rather than being a Noble Phantasm, [Saint of the Red Lotus] is better said to be the inherent barrier of the subspecies, casting Jeanne's own mental landscape into a long sword.

Using the Sword of Saint Catherine, which she had never used before, as a catalyst, she summons weapons crystallized from the concept of the fire that Joan of Arc suffered during her lifetime to attack the enemy.

At that time, the sword of St. Catherine will turn into the "Holy Sword of Red Lotus" that manifests flames.

It exists as a C-level Noble Phantasm when it is normally sheathed, but once the Noble Phantasm is released by Jeanne, it will become a powerful EX-level Noble Phantasm.

However, the conditions for liberating [Red Lotus Saint] are harsh. This flame cannot be fully used when simply facing a strong enemy or harboring hatred. In other words, this flame will only burn those she Someone who deep down believes that he must be defeated.

The result of the harsh conditions is that once the Noble Phantasm is effective, it will become a trump card that can destroy everything and purify all existence.

But there is a price for manifesting the flames that burned her during her lifetime. [La Pucelle] is almost Joan of Arc's spiritual base itself, so once the battle is over, Joan of Arc will disappear from the world. .

It can be said that he protects everything at the cost of his life.

Why not destroy everything?

Even if a user like Jeanne is determined to defeat someone, their original intention is definitely not to eliminate them.

Although it can become a Noble Phantasm that destroys everything, the owner of the Noble Phantasm itself makes this hypothesis untenable.

Maybe it can be assumed like thinking about suddenly appearing in the desert the next moment.

But just like no one can teleport, Joan of Arc cannot and will not use this flame to do evil.

Red flames replaced all the scenes in front of Black Joan's eyes.

"...."

Ignoring the flames that had ignited her clothes, Black Jeanne remained silent.

If you want to ask why, it may be because she has seen this scene countless times.

[Saint of the Red Lotus] is the inherent barrier of the subspecies, and it is a means of attack that displays the mental landscape of Joan of Arc herself.

The mental landscape is often the most profound scene in someone's heart.

For Joan of Arc, nature was the flame she felt in the last second of her life.

The boundless flames were nothing but red.

Black Joan of Arc naturally also has that memory.

It was this scene that tortured her day and night and made her unable to forget her hatred.

Every moment, every second, Black Joan feels as painful as if she is still on the stake. Only when she takes revenge can she feel some relief.

Because Joan of Arc was burned at the stake, she felt such despair and pain before she died.

If you want to be free, there is no other way but revenge.

That's how it should be...

But the flame in front of her was completely different from the flame in the Dragon Witch's heart.

Why? Why?

Why can't I feel despair at all in the flames of this counterfeit?

Why is it that in this faker's flames, it's like the hatred never existed from the beginning?

Why is this light in her flame so dazzling?

It's like...as if this is really like the fire of God that cleanses everything.

".......Why?"

The Dragon Witch asked the saint who walked away from Chi Hong and walked in front of her.
