Nero, who now stood in front of Iskandar, was like an ordinary mortal, without any sense of oppression that he had shown before.
Nero's initial attack on Iskandar even made him feel so strenuous that he couldn't resist.
But now, Nero is not even an ordinary "king".
Iskandar's expression gradually darkened.
Originally seeing the powerful Rome and its monarchs, Iskandar's heart was filled with a high and passionate feeling of conquest.
Even though he was stabbed and poisoned by Jing Ke with the Dagger of No Return, and he saw magic that was even more perverted than El-Melloi II's, the passion in Iskandar's heart was never extinguished.
On the contrary, it burned more and more fiercely.
And that enthusiasm reached its peak when he met the Roman Emperor Nero, who was as bright as a rose.
It is precisely because of this that Iskandar did not hesitate to risk the collapse of his spiritual base to liberate his entire army of kings.
Although Iskandar felt the confusion of the young emperor in front of him in the previous battle.
But considering that she was not a heroic spirit and was only a girl in her twenties, Iskandar temporarily allowed that confused existence.
But now it seems that the confusion is not just a lack of vision and experience, but also a confusion caused by not having many years of experience.
Iskandar had to recall Arturia, who had a similar face to Nero.
He had a meeting with the King of Knights.
During the meeting, the Knight King showed Iskandar a belief that was almost completely opposite to the "King's Way".
————Even then, the confused King of Knights still believed in something and had a goal to fight for.
Perhaps Artoria Pendragon is not a qualified king, but at least she is a "king".
But the Nero in front of him even had doubts about the "king" himself.
So much so that after seeing his Noble Phantasm, he completely lost his direction.
Nero felt the magic power flowing rapidly inside his body, and could only helplessly hold on to the original fire in his hand.
But even the original fire could not ignite the flame again at this time.
Everything seemed to be back before the "United Empire" appeared, when she was just an ordinary girl named Augustus.
Is it because this is not Rome?
Nero began to make excuses for the disappearance of her magic.
But I'm afraid the truth is not like that.
Looking at the battlefield filled with yellow sand in front of her, looking at the tense legion, looking at this should be her wish.
Nero, who had once admired Alexander, sensed his revulsion.
She actually didn't like Iskandar's life.
Nero hated war.
Even conquest.
Blood, destruction, chaos.
After truly understanding what the glory of conquest was based on, Nero began to hate conquest.
Octavian, who spent his whole life building a gorgeous city on the bloodstains left by Caesar and his ancestors, deceived the world and also deceived Nero.
"Boring."
Iskandar raised his beloved sword and waved it gently forward.
"Aionion Hetairoi!"
Reinforced by the force, tens of thousands of heroic spirits crossed Iskandar and rushed towards Nero, who was alone in front.
Under that charge, the ground began to shake and strong winds began to whip up.
However, just as Iskandar himself was disappointed, not one of the tens of thousands of people in the [King's Army] let out a battle roar or cry.
Like a silent iron curtain, except for the roar of horseshoes and iron boots on the dust and yellow sand on the ground, there is nothing else in this world.
Deathly silence.
Nero's slightly thin figure stood in front of the huge iron curtain like a small boat in the storm.
It even made people doubt whether the target of the military charge was her.
It was suspected that she was just a stupid ant that accidentally blocked the charging path of the huge army.
Compared to the huge momentum of the king's army, Nero's actions seemed to be unimportant no matter what.
"The first light of the fierce fire shines on the sea of clouds——————!"
Just when the King's Army was about to engulf Nero, several huge fire dragons appeared in front of the King's Army, accompanied by Animusfia's shouts.
The Iron Curtain, which was constantly advancing and seemed to be unable to stop anything, was stopped.
Despite this, large numbers of soldiers and war horses still could not stop their pace and crashed into the circling and dancing fire dragon.
The soldiers who were able to burst out with the combat power to fight regular servants under the bonus of the discharge table were turned into pure magic power (mana) without any resistance after being engulfed by the fire dragon, which became the fuel to supplement the fire dragon's burning.
Iskandar, who stayed where he was, showed a hint of surprise when he saw several fire dragons suddenly appearing.
That was not the poisonous dragon or giant dragon common in legends in Europe or Asia Minor.
It is a "dragon" with antlers and a snake body from the far east.
Speaking of the origin, it is the same as Zhuge Kongming, whom his subordinate El-Melloi II relies on.
El-Melloi II, who was originally fighting with Animusfia and was even ready to withdraw, looked at the appearance of several huge fire dragons on the battlefield in shock.
At least his [Departure Formation] and [Eight Stone Soldier Formations] have been released.
These two Noble Phantasms are of the type that will always be effective after being released. Even if El-Melloi II retires now, he will still be able to help the Conquering King.
When faced with Animusfia's weird magic, El-Melloi II couldn't even use his discerning eyes to see what kind of magic it was.
No.
Maybe you can already see it.
It wasn't magic at all, but something akin to magic.
It's like the magic of the Holy Church, but it's different.
It's just that the result was so unbelievable that El-Melloi II even believed that he was at fault.
However, just when Animusfia was about to pierce the body of El-Melloi II with the spear in his hand, he suddenly disappeared in front of El-Melloi II.
It turned into a huge fire dragon and flew towards the battlefield where Nero and Iskandar came into contact not far away.
While flying through the air, several equally huge fire dragons formed and devoured other soldiers on the battlefield.
It is obvious that this place is a desert with nothing to burn, and it is the mental space of the conquering king who has nothing but conquest.
But those huge fire dragons circling and dancing in mid-air were still burning, even setting half of the sky on fire.
Revealing the black void behind it.
Is this the Noble Phantasm of "Animusfia"?
As expected, he is also a servant.
It can even release the Noble Phantasm under the suppression of the Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers.
You must know that the Eight Formation Diagram is not only a simple formation that cannot be escaped without the know-how, but also continuously curses and harms the enemies who enter the formation.
Even the flow of magic power will eventually become oppressive.
So much so that the servant cannot release the Noble Phantasm. If the magic power is forced to operate, it will inevitably continue to increase the pressure in the already clogged pipe, and eventually end up with an injury.
Originally, the Eight Formations of Stone Soldiers were generally incompatible with the King's Army, but for some reason, it seemed that even the Noble Phantasm of El-Melloi II was counted as part of the King's Army.
Counted as a member of Alexander's legion.
But I really want to say something unexpected.
There was also the fire dragon that appeared in front of El-Melloi II.
[The fierce fire first illuminated the sea of clouds, and Zhou Lang once defeated Cao Gong]
That is a Noble Phantasm that is enough to burn the entire "battlefield".
"Zhou Yu——————!"
El-Melloi II couldn't help but read the name revealed in the spiritual base.
Zhou Yu, Zhou Gongjin, who had a close relationship with Zhuge Kongming for a while, was the person who single-handedly contributed to the final victory in the Battle of Chibi.
It's no wonder that he can recognize who his spiritual base is at a glance.
But I'm afraid that "Animusfia" is also a pseudo-server endowed with spiritual power like him.
First, he, "El-Melloi II" who is not El-Melloi, faces "Animusfia" who is not Animusfia.
Is it Zhou Gongjin versus Zhuge Kongming again now?
It's just that he seemed to have wasted a good opportunity to defeat himself.
"For the Lord...?"
El-Melloi II looked at Lu Bu, who was also originally included in the king's army.
Because of Animusfiya's departure, Lu Bu, who was originally under control, became restless again.
However, how could Animusfia not know the consequences of doing so.
The sudden decrease in Nero's magical aura made him think for a moment that Nero had been defeated by Iskandar.
Although it was later discovered that it was just a false alarm by Animusfia, the huge army charging towards Nero was not something he could just sit back and ignore.
Therefore, at the risk of exploding her body with magic power, Animusfia forcibly released Zhou Gongjin's Noble Phantasm, and even overloaded her semi-spiritual body and turned it into a part of the Noble Phantasm.
The boundary between him as a "human" and Zhou Gongjin's "heroic spirit" was intentionally blurred.
This is irreversible.
Even if she can return to her human appearance later, Animusfiya's soul will inevitably be more affected by Zhou Yulingji.
It was like a boy who forcibly attached himself to the Servant's arm.
It may not even be corroded and shattered.
But Animusfia didn't care about that either.
Even if he didn't have this problem, he might not be able to live long.
In the end, the magic power broke through his body, and under the guidance of the spiritual base, he reorganized a body based on magic power.
However, even then Animusfia still could not get rid of the constraints of the Eight Stone Soldiers. Even if the magic power was driven in the form of a fire dragon, the magic power would still break through the existing body.
So Animusfia simply used the Spear of Ouranos as a backup, and reassembled her body with the continuously replenished magic power.
While it was dancing, thunder and lightning and dark chains continued to fall from the air and the ground, attacking the heroic spirits in the king's army.
The current posture can be said to be the strongest level that Animusfia can display.
The flames that constantly burst out of its body actually symbolize Animusfia's scars.
Nero looked at the huge fire dragon protecting her in front of her without saying a word, silently watching its body continue to collapse and reorganize.
"Governor...?"
However, her trembling eyes showed that Nero's heart was not so peaceful at the moment.
