Romulus looked at the Chaldeans in front of him who were unable to move under his attack.
Both Elizabeth and Boudica were restricted from all movement space by the square branches protruding from the inner wall of the giant tree.
It was not two-dimensional, as comfortable as a swimming ring on the body, but branches piercing everywhere from all directions in the space covered by the giant tree.
Each thorn branch continuously extends branches outwards during the growth process, and each extending branch extends outwards to other different branches.
The crimson light traveled like filaments buried in the branches, and finally converged along the ground on Romulus's spear inserted into the ground, and on his spear that also split and crystallized outwards like a binary tree. The tips are scattered again.
The entire giant tree seemed to have turned into some kind of living animal body under Romulus's movements, and Romulus's spear was the heart.
Then, the crimson light visible to the naked eye pumped throughout the interior space of the giant tree.
Romulus's constantly flickering spear tip was like the heart of the animal, constantly pumping crimson light to every part of the giant tree and to the top of every branch.
Every time the giant tree's heart beats, a large amount of magic power pours out of the earth's veins.
Altria Alter was only blocked from moving space with her intuition skills, while Fujimaru Ritsuka got a small space to stand behind Mash's shield.
As for Elizabeth and Boudica, even the corners of their clothes have been penetrated.
If Romulus hadn't really wanted to kill him, everyone present except Matthew would have been unable to escape the fate of being impaled.
Even if Artoria could avoid the vital points, she couldn't avoid being seriously injured.
Except for Krasin, the incarnation of Cthulhu who possessed the body of the evil dragon Fafnir and was repelled by Animusfia alone, Romulus is the strongest heroic spirit Artoria has seen so far.
Whether it is the White Dragon of Britain - King Vortigern or the Dragon Witch Jeanne d'Arc Alt - they are not on the same level as Romulus, the founder of the city in front of Artoria.
Even holding the Holy Sword of the Star, she had to admit that Romulus was stronger than her at this moment.
Just relying on the magic power that Romulus was rhythmically releasing from his spear at this moment was enough to prove all this.
This is the difference between spiritual bases.
A demigod with the blood of the goddess Venus, the god-king Jupiter, the goddess Juno, and the god of war Mars, Romulus, who established Rome as the cornerstone of human civilization, is undoubtedly one of the highest-level heroic spirits. .
Just by imagining it, you can already feel the power of Romulus. He is a heroic spirit that is fully qualified to hold the title of Grand.
Rather, it would be strange to say that he who has descended here now does not have a Grand title.
The existence named Romulus is a god who came to the world.
"So let me tell you again, you are not Rome, travelers from afar. The only thing Rome (I) wants to destroy is Rome. If you leave from here - Rome (I) will not harm you. .”
Can you save your life just by retreating?
Facing such a powerful enemy, can we avoid harm as long as we surrender and run away?
The highest priority strategy is undoubtedly to accept the choice given by Romulus now.
Both Boudica and Artoria Alt understand the pros and cons.
Even though the Chaldean side now has four horsemen and servants, there is still no hope for a head-on confrontation with Romulus.
The best plan at the moment is to pretend to promise to escape from Romulus's Noble Phantasm first, and then plan a complete plan before joining Animusfia and Nero for a decisive battle.
But for some reason, Boudica had a premonition in her heart that she must not admit defeat here.
Once we bow to Romulus here, we may never have the possibility of victory again.
Romulus focused his gaze on Mashu's giant cross-shaped shield, as if his gaze could penetrate the shield and stare directly at the girl behind it.
"You are the last master of mankind. How about it? What is your choice? Do you want to stand here and continue to be the enemy of Rome (me), or leave here."
The red-haired girl lowered her head, her expression difficult to see clearly, and moved her lips slightly.
"As long as we escape from here, will you...really give us a way to survive?"
"Well, Rome (I) never break a promise."
"Really?"
"Of course, as long as you retreat from here, Rome (I) will definitely let you leave safely."
"So....."
Boudica seemed to be able to hear her final voice of compromise.
"Master! You can't promise him!"
Before Boudica could finish her words, golden sunlight suddenly shot into the space filled with crimson light.
The tree trunk, which could not be completely destroyed by Artoria's completely inverted Sword of Victory, was burned like dry papyrus with several holes at this moment. The firelight and the rising sun burned this piece of land that was unique to Luo. Mulus' space destruction.
"Huh?...Is it finally here...?"
Upon noticing that the "giant tree" that symbolized the city of Rome was destroyed, Romulus turned to face the incoming sunlight. He first showed a surprised expression, and then became relieved.
******************
"Governor, there is no way this can be destroyed... Is there anything you can do? After all, are Eliza and the others really inside?"
Animusfia frowned and looked at the giant tree that was growing outwards.
Not to mention Nero, even he had exhausted all attack methods, but none of them could shake the giant tree that had expanded dozens of meters to the surrounding area.
Perhaps Animusfia can use "Occam's razor" after knowing the details.
The First Army of Animusfia and Romagna kept retreating as the trees grew.
"I can feel the reaction of the costumes I gave Ritsuka and the others inside, even though it's very weak."
If it were an ordinary magic product, Animusfia might not be able to feel even the slightest fluctuation of magic power.
Fortunately, the cloaks behind Artoria and Mashu were made by Animusfia himself, and he had a full understanding of his creations.
Animusfia reached out and touched the trees in front of her.
However, after closing his eyes, the touch that came to his mind from the palm of his hand was not the rough texture of tree bark in his impression, but rather like some kind of brick, with a slightly smooth feeling.
And now Animusfia realized that the giant tree in front of him had a kind of magic wave that he was very familiar with.
Because she stayed with Nero every day, Animusfia was used to this feeling——but such fluctuations in magic power were not something that could be easily encountered.
Combined with the fact that the other party's real name is probably the "Romulus" who founded Rome from scratch.
Animusfia opened her eyes and responded to Nero's previous question:
"Ritsuka, Eliza and the others are undoubtedly here."
"So Governor, have you found a way to enter it?"
"Well, that's it, Your Majesty."
Animusfia turned to Nero and said:
"Can you please release your Noble Phantasm to this giant tree? But there is no need to build a theater, just destroy this [city]."
"Hmm."
Nero nodded.
"But the iron wall that even Yu's slashes can't break, can it really be broken by just relying on those flames?"
"Please continue to trust me, Your Majesty."
Animusfia held the Spear of Ouranos in her hand and got into a fighting stance.
Nero didn't say anything more after hearing Animusfia's words. He just silently raised the alien sword "Primordial Fire" in his hand again, and the raging flames burned on her blade again. .
"Of course I trust you - Los Saint Claudius, the glorious empire sung by virgins!"
The swirling flames enveloped the giant tree that held up the sky the moment Nero swung his sword. The tree trunks that seemed indestructible at first melted like butter under the flames.
The part that was chopped by Nero's sword had fallen apart, revealing a space filled with crimson light.
Compared to a giant tree with a radius of nearly a hundred meters from the outside, this space inside is incredibly large.
It would be more than enough to fit the entire seven hills and the whole of Rome into it.
"If you leave from here——Rome (I) will not harm you."
Thunderous words came from it.
"As long as you retreat from here, Rome (I) will definitely let you leave safely."
After hearing the words coming from it, Nero's right hand, which was already holding the hilt of the Primordial Fire sword, tightened.
Sensing Nero's change, Animusfia took her left hand.
After squeezing Animusfia's hand as if in response, Nero looked up at him.
【I always stand behind you】
No words were needed for Nero to understand Animusfia.
"Hmm!"
She nodded heavily, and then looked at the tall figure in the space filled with crimson light.
As long as you escape from here, you can avoid fighting with that divine ancestor, and you can avoid fighting against the great man who built Rome.
As long as he allows him to destroy Rome, he will no longer have to face such a powerful enemy.
All you need is an easy escape————————
"But I refuse!"
From inside and outside the giant tree, the two girls refused in unison.
"This voice is...Miss Nero!"
Matthew said in disbelief after hearing the sound coming from outside the giant tree.
Since Nero is also here, it means...
"Director!"
The girl Master behind Mashu looked in surprise at the figure walking out of the tree trunk that was burned through by the flames.
To be honest, she actually had no idea how to reverse the current situation.
Escape must be the best option......but I don't want to lose, I don't want to lose, I don't want to lose.
If we can't even overcome such difficulties, how can we save humanity?
For some reason, Fujimaru thought of Animusfia.
He once said that if she couldn't win, she could just run away——but where could she run to?
And what would that person do if faced with such a dilemma?
.........
There must be some inappropriate jokes.
