Although no one would not notice the flash of thunder and lightning in the dark clouds on that rainy night, few people cared about the size of the flash of light.
After blooming briefly, it disappeared without a trace. If the rumble of thunder that followed could not prove its previous existence, perhaps even those who witnessed the brilliance would regard it as their own unfounded fantasy.
It's like a fantasy that suddenly appeared before my eyes or a daydream that appeared out of thin air.
Even if the feeling at that moment is so dazzling and true, no matter how shocking the scene is, the person who disappears without a trace in the next moment will start to doubt himself.
Because there is no "fruit" there.
From an ordinary person's perspective, if there is a "cause", then there must be an "effect".
If the "effect" caused by lightning does not exist, then people will begin to doubt the "cause" caused by lightning.
Even if the "result" is just a slight delay in thunder for a few seconds, people will still doubt the existence of lightning during those few seconds.
Likewise, it only takes a few seconds of delayed thunder for humans to stop doubting the fact that lightning flashed just now.
The lightning, which was about ten meters thick, instantly penetrated the air and struck Romulus, who had just returned his gaze to Animusfia.
There was no way he could avoid it.
This is the fact told to Animusfia by Zhou Yu's spirit base in her body.
Since being reverse-summoned to this singularity in first-century Rome, Animusfia had to admit that Zhou Yu, who was willing to lend him his spiritual power, had helped him a lot.
Without Zhou Gongjin's resourcefulness and many skills, Animusfiya would never have been able to reach where she is now so easily.
The Roman military might have collapsed under the attack of Octavian, Caesar and Alexander.
However, even Zhou Yu's strategy encountered setbacks at this moment.
Romulus really had no way to dodge when faced with such a tricky attack, but he didn't need to dodge at all.
The blood-stained wall appeared to block the attack just before the lightning struck him, as if nothing had happened. The magic that condensed the maximum power that Animusfia could release in an instant was like this. He was blocked easily and then disappeared.
Not even the thunder could be heard.
Animusphia, who landed on top of the tree with Nero in her arms, stared at the city wall disappearing from Romulus' side.
He originally thought that those city walls simply symbolized the infallibility of Rome and were simply "strong".
Since it is strong, no matter how strong the city wall is, it will be breached at some point, and even Rome will eventually fall.
"Is it offset from a causal perspective..."
Animusfia said with an ugly expression.
Perhaps when faced with attacks from outsiders, the city wall stained with Remus' blood was just an ordinary fortified city.
But in the face of attacks from [Rome], this last wall protecting Rome is indestructible from a causal perspective.
If this wall is destroyed, everything in later Rome will be denied - and attacks from later Rome will naturally be ineffective.
Moreover, the city wall that appeared in front of Romulus did not seem to have been summoned deliberately by him.
Animusfia thought as she looked at the blood barrier that slowly disappeared in front of Romulus.
[Holy Boundary] (Pomerium) and [Wall of Love] (Moles Necessrie)....
After relating these two words to what she had witnessed while living for several months in Nero's Rome, Animusphia got her answer.
"I see, is it the invisible wall surrounding Rome (Romulus)..."
Animusfia finally came to a conclusion.
The invisible wall has always been guarding Romulus, existing as its original role - the last line of defense to defend Rome, and as a defensive treasure comparable to Matthew's Shield of the Knights of the Round Table. keeping it.
After being stained with Remus' blood, elements of violence were added to it, and it became a Noble Phantasm that can attack like a guillotine.
"Have you discovered the answer? Yes, Rome (me) is surrounded by walls stained with my brother's blood. If we don't come up with countermeasures, even seizing the right moment will be useless."
Romulus then waved his hand, and with his movement, one after another barriers appeared around Animusfia and Nero again, constantly attacking the two people who were dodging in all directions.
"Rome (you) cannot defeat Rome, not even Rome (■)."
Romulus lowered his head slightly and closed his eyes.
On the current battlefield, both Elizabeth and Fujimaru Ritsuka can be regarded as losing their fighting ability, and Mashu cannot escape because they are unable to fight to protect them.
Arturia, who could be considered safe for the time being due to her intuition, couldn't think of anything else to do other than evade.
As for the soldiers of the legion led by Animusfia and Nero, although they have the bonus of [Rome], they are not able to participate in the current battle at all.
As early as when they entered the giant tree, Animusfia kept them away from here and watched.
Now even if the soldiers charge in collectively, there is probably nothing they can do——not to mention that it is impossible for them to watch such a situation and rush in to die.
If this continues, Chaldea's journey to save humanity may end here.
Seeing this scene, Boudica clenched the sword in her hand.
It's funny to say that she, the weakest heroic spirit, was the only one who still had strength left on the battlefield at this time.
That sword was not the sword in the stone that was chosen by the king, nor was it a divine weapon kept by the fairy in the lake.
That sword was just the sword that her husband loved to use during his lifetime. It was only with the memory of her deceased husband that Boudica raised the sword to resist the rule of Rome.
That sword was just an ordinary sword that she secretly named as victory.
Even though she was connected to the goddess of victory in Celtic mythology, Boudica knew that she was by no means a powerful heroic spirit.
When it comes to heroic spirits who resisted Rome, she may be one of the most famous, but she is by no means the strongest or necessary one.
In terms of fighting and consciousness, Spartacus, who tried his best to rebel, was much stronger than her.
Whether it is the wheel of protection or the sword of victory, Boudica cannot swear an oath.
Therefore, she actually questioned why she was summoned here by the inhibitory power.
If it is really to "protect" Rome, the protector of the country who once defeated Attila the Hunnic King, the last Roman Aetius, and the "last Roman" Stilicho Probably more qualified than her.
Such doubts were temporarily forgotten as she saw the invaded Roman people.
But not thinking deeply does not mean that doubts disappear.
After witnessing many Roman monarchs, Boudica gradually understood the reason why he was summoned here by the restraining force.
Especially after witnessing Romulus's high city full of sins, Boudica was even more convinced of the answer she had obtained.
In this singularity, she must both protect Rome and destroy it.
Boudica raised the sword in her hands with both hands, facing Romulus who still didn't look at her.
Sure enough, no matter how much time passed, "Rome" was still so arrogant.
Don’t you even think that something outside of Rome could destroy Rome?
That's why I never set my sights on anyone other than Nero and Animusfia, or even cared about them.
Although she temporarily reached an alliance with Nero and no longer burned her anger on innocent civilians, Boudicca always remembered the atrocities that happened to herself and her daughters.
Although she has become a guardian spirit and a victorious queen, Boudica can never forget the reason why she wielded the sword in the first place.
It's not for protection, let alone victory.
As the queen of a small tribe, Boudica could not promise either protection or victory.
A large amount of magic power was accumulated in Boudica's sword, and the guardian wheels surrounding her came to a standstill for a moment.
Unexpectedly, even if Boudica stopped driving her Noble Phantasm, the blood walls that kept appearing still failed to get close to her.
"Um?"
Romulus, who felt strange, looked seriously at Boudicca for the first time.
"You said————you are always surrounded by those blood-soaked walls, right, [Rome]."
Struggling to maintain the magic power condensed on the sword, Boudica forced a smile and spoke to Romulus.
She closed her eyes and said word by word:
"But, in fact, you (Rome) are imprisoned by those [sin karma]."
It was the crime that occupied Boudica's hometown, and it was the crime that created the tragedy of Boudica and her daughters.
Boudica's uprising failed to achieve final victory and failed to protect anything.
Thinking back on it, what kind of person was Boudica, who was not the goddess of victory?
The only thing she can really swear to is to fight against that atrocity and that crime——————
Ah, this must be the reason why Inhibition chose to summon her.
"Oath————Sword of Resistance————(Sword of Boudica)!"
Imitating the fighting posture of King Arthur that she had seen once, Boudica opened her eyes and shouted loudly, swinging her sword towards Rome in front of her.
