Invisible threads slowly wrapped around Mashu's limbs.
"How about, do you want to form an alliance with me?"
Under Mikhail VIII's words mixed with magic, Mashu almost nodded in agreement.
She ignored all doubts and all the purposes behind Mikhail VIII, and was willing to "form an alliance" with him.
If it weren't for the constant vibration of the shield in her hand that kept Masubao on guard, she might have already agreed to the covenant proposed by Mikhail VIII.
"Wake up, Matthew!"
However, the sudden call in Mashu's ears suddenly brought her consciousness back, and it resonated with the echo of the giant shield in her hand.
"This is...senior?"
Mashu was in a daze and saw a bright thunder and lightning flashing in front of him.
Then the roaring thunder that reached her ears completely woke her up from the Noble Phantasm of Mikhail VIII.
Only then did she see the spider silk surrounding her. Her limbs were bound by spider silk, and Arturia was trying her best to break free.
It was probably just a matter of time for her to break free.
But it was not like that for Mashu himself. Mashu was surprised to find that even his limbs were not connected to the spider silk at any time.
"whispering sound."
Mikhail VIII frowned and dodged back. His body and the throne seemed to be pulled by something, and he quickly retreated backwards.
He had seen such lightning before. During the naval battle between Octavian and Nero on the Tyrrhenian Sea, Michael VIII had seen Animusfia use lightning, including lightning. Magic in many forms.
It's just that the person who used magic this time was not the hateful Caster, the governor of Romagna.
"Student?"
Although Michael VIII, who had already laid a secret net in the city of Rome, tried his best to hide Animusfia's perception and did not dare to make a big show of it, at least he was aware of the arrival of the Chaldeans.
The last Master of mankind was just a dabbler without any magical talent?
Recalling Leif's words only made Mikhail VIII feel ridiculous, so could the lightning that appeared in front of him now be anything else?
Mikhail VIII lost the last trace of awe for Leif in his heart.
Solomon's servants were ultimately just servants, not kings like him.
Speaking of which, the original Michael VIII did not intend to fight the Chaldean servants himself.
The spell obtained from Leif allowed Mikhail VIII to easily create an army that no "person" in the world could resist.
The intelligence investigation done in advance also allowed Michael VIII to successfully avoid the plague god Animusfia.
In fact, Michael VIII indeed forced everyone in Chaldea, including Artoria Alt, into a desperate situation.
Even if Mash can still temporarily release the incomplete power of the Round Table with the help of Artoria, it can only preserve her and Artoria's situation.
Boudica alone could not survive the endless tide of Chimeras for long.
By then, Michael VIII would only need to drag Mashu and Altria Alter until Boudica and Fujimaru Ritsuka were submerged by the Chimera tide, and then he would be able to win without a fight.
However, the appearance of Elizabeth disrupted all plans of Mikhail VIII————
The winged demon actually didn't go on the expedition with Animusfia.
Michael VIII did not expect that all the Chimeras would be captured by Elizabeth in an instant.
So now, he has to fight head-on with the people of Chaldea like an ordinary servant.
Mashu's attempt to control Artoria was also interrupted midway. Because of the dragon's heart and high level of anti-magic power, Artoria was unable to be controlled by Mikhail VIII at all, and could only restrict her movement at best.
Now Michael VIII can only hope that the last master of mankind will not be as powerful as Animusfia.
In that case, Mikhail VIII would at least have room for mediation.
The crimson cloak was swinging behind her, and the moonlight shone unreservedly on Fujimaru Ritsuka's white Chaldean uniform.
Fujimaru Ritsuka jumped down from Boudica's chariot and came to Mashu's side.
"Ma Xiu, how are you?"
"Thank you...Senior, I'm fine."
"This is not good——————!"
Fujimaru Ritsuka pulled off the spider silk from Mashu's body, which made Mikhail VIII's eyelids twitch.
You must know that Michael VIII also tried to directly transform the last master of mankind into a Chimera, but he was surprised to find that he could not connect the spider silk to Fujimaru Ritsuka's body.
Is it the cape on her back?
But the cloak, which Mash and Artoria also held, did not react to Michael VIII's Noble Phantasm.
For Elizabeth, who also belonged to the dragon species, and Boudica, who was anti-Roman, Michael VIII had no choice.
"It seems that you are the last master of mankind————"
"Quiet, Mikhail VIII. I have known your real name for a long time. There is no credibility in your infamous name."
Fujimaru Ritsuka turned to look at Mikhail VIII. At the same time, Artoria also broke free from the shackles of the spider silk.
Mikhail VIII narrowed his eyes.
It seems that he is far more famous than he thought.
"Mikhail VIII...? But he just said he could help us..."
Mashu, who still hadn't recovered from the influence of Mikhail VIII, looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"It must be some words about forming an alliance with us."
"Indeed, think about it carefully. I don't have any hostile relationship with you, right? It's better to say that we have the same enemy."
Michael VIII still refused to give up his plan.
"Then what? When we were at war with the [United Empire], we made a wedding dress for you—just like the Sicilian people, right?"
"Eh? But he is also one of the emperors of the Roman Empire, right?"
Matthew still couldn't understand what his senior said.
"Matthew, this guy is indeed the continuation of the Eastern Roman Empire and the restorer of Constantinople... However, he is also the worst usurper. He has been excommunicated many times and still doesn't care, which indirectly leads to The real culprit who displaced hundreds of thousands of people. The eight-clawed spider, Mikhail VIII.”
Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the mutilated bodies of the Chimeras on the ground again.
"These chimeras transformed from humans are his crime."
The red-haired girl looked directly at Mikhail VIII, who was already waiting for Arturia with a sword.
"And what he calls [Rome] does not need to continue from the current Rome."
With just one order, Artoria can attack Mikhail VIII at any time.
