Earth Princess? No, it's Fujimaru Ritsuka!

Isabella: What is that?!

Lahail: Masaka!!

Joan of Arc!

"My banner! Protect my people!"

"—My Lord is here!"

Chapter 27: Be careful not to unleash the wrong Noble Phantasm!

"What...?!"

Even Jeanne Alter was taken aback.

Just as she was about to have Fafnir destroy Vaucouserra, a divine light suddenly appeared on the battlefield, covering the entire town and acting as a barrier against the terrifying scorching dragon breath of Fafnir.

"Impossible. Fafnir's dragon breath is comparable to a Noble Phantasm for attacking a castle. With my support, no one should be able to stop it... What is it then?"

Black Jeanne raised her eyebrows, her silver eyes narrowed, and her expression became incredibly complex.

"Heh, should I say I was rather lucky?"

"To actually protect these boring guys, how naive and boring I am..."

A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips: "However, for such a vast country to have fallen to the point of needing a little girl for protection, it seems there really is no reason for it to exist."

"Fafner, give it your all, let's see how long she can hold on."

Just a while ago.

In fact, Joan of Arc's release of her Noble Phantasm was far less sacred and glorious than people perceived.

Rushing back to town, moments before facing the demonic dragon.

"Give the command seal and unleash your Noble Phantasm, Jeanne d'Arc!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka understood Jeanne d'Arc's power even better than she did herself.

This is partly because Jeanne d'Arc is a novice Servant who has just started her journey, and partly because Fujimaru Ritsuka read her Star Inscription.

Let alone the use of Noble Phantasms and inherent skills.

They even know her lifestyle preferences, body measurements, and the color of her underwear.

While practicing the power of the True Ancestors, Fujimaru Ritsuka did not slack off on her skills in combat as a Master. Because Director Olga Marie was still alive, she also made some progress in her knowledge of magic.

"This is..."

"This is... This is our power, Jeanne d'Arc! You've been enhanced! Unleash your Noble Phantasm!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka, despite being a novice Master, earnestly and passionately encouraged this fellow novice Servant.

"I understand, Master!"

Joan of Arc was slightly taken aback, then quickly put on her sword; she drew it and gripped it tightly.

She spoke very quickly, and her body seemed to ignite with intense red flames.

"The heavens are the Lord's glory, the firmament the Lord's great work; by day they deliver the word, by night they deliver knowledge..."

"After despair comes hope!"

The girl chanted earnestly, accompanied by flames, from which blood flowed.

"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop!!"

—Which Noble Phantasm are you referring to?!

"The Holy Banner, the Holy Banner!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka pointed at the platinum banner embroidered with irises and said, "I told you to use your Noble Phantasm, not to self-destruct!"

"Eh?! Ah... sorry, I made a mistake. It's because I just became a Servant and I'm not used to my body yet."

It's like a novice player who messed up the key bindings and randomly pressed keys on the keyboard, then frantically spammed skills in a panic.

Joan of Arc was ashamed of her beauty because of her embarrassing actions.

She sheathed the burning sword, then swung the rolled-up flag spear with a powerful agility and slammed it against the city wall!

The flags symbolizing glory and faith are unfurled, shining brightly in stark contrast to the flags of darkness!

Joan of Arc reacted quickly, raising the sacred banner and illuminating every corner of Vaucouleur with the glory of the Lord.

Then, it withstood the dragon's breath and protected the people from annihilation.

A radiance appeared.

The Holy Maiden has arrived!

"Ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh ugh—!"

The towns, the city walls, the soldiers and the civilians erupted in thunderous cheers at that moment!

"The Holy Maiden, it's the Holy Maiden!"

"She really is a saint. I remember that flag. I once charged into battle with that flag and a gun in hand!"

"It's Joan of Arc, it really is Joan of Arc, it's really Joan of Arc!!!"

"She's resurrected! The Saintess has been resurrected!"

"I knew the saintess wouldn't fall!"

"You're talking nonsense! When the news of the witch first came out, you were the one who cried the loudest. I'm the one who has always been a loyal follower of the saintess!"

The thunderous applause from the crowd grew louder and louder!

There are probably still many people who don't understand the situation!

Perhaps many people do not know what happened to Joan of Arc, but people can instinctively sense that Joan of Arc did not fall into witchhood.

Within that white light, the figure of the holy maiden in white armor and blue robes, holding a banner high, rekindled the despair in everyone's hearts!

"Senior—! This is...?"

Mashu looked at the scene and murmured to herself.

"This is true radiance! Because the Holy Maiden is still on their side, those who have given up hope will naturally rise again."

"But it still doesn't work, does it?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka used a Command Spell to allow Jeanne d'Arc to unleash her Noble Phantasm to resist the terrifying dragon's demonic flames.

However, although Joan of Arc did not show it, the emotions conveyed by the master-servant contract made Fujimaru Ritsuka clearly aware that Joan of Arc's defenses were showing signs of weakening.

"Mash, go and lend her a hand."

"learn!"

The girl didn't say much. At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka's authority to command was absolute and unquestionable.

Joan of Arc couldn't hold on.

Mashu then stepped up and constructed a double defense.

"Hmm... I see. So that's what you were planning, Ritsuka-chan. That's a wise judgment."

Leonardo da Vinci cleared his throat and said:

"However, there is one thing I need to remind you of—the power of the True Ancestors and the Dead Apostles is weakened when exposed to sunlight and seawater."

While the impact on you will be less, your recovery won't be as rapid as it was in Fuyuki. Therefore, I suggest that if you absolutely must engage in battle, try to fight at night.

"Now all we need to do is repel them."

Da Vinci's approach was based on careful consideration. Although Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu possessed a certain level of power during the day, unlike at night, they could potentially be killed during the day.

As the last remaining half-Master of humanity, Fujimaru Ritsuka absolutely cannot fall.

“I understand, so I’m backing them up right now.”

Fujimaru Ritsuka replied, "Neither the dark Jeanne d'Arc on the other side nor the terrifying evil dragon can be easily defeated."

However, if you learn to materialize your imagination, you might be able to turn the tide and unleash your full power.

However... well, that is, after all, a manifestation of imagination, a power that is even more difficult to understand than a [Realm Barrier], and even more illogical.

After all, a simple world egg is not the same as the world itself.

Even Olga Marie doesn't know it. Although she understands the theory, theory is not the same as practice.

Fujimaru Ritsuka continued to channel magical energy.

Her link is short, and she can't supply magic power to her servants when they are far away, but there is no need to worry about magic power, as the quality of the True Ancestor's body is large enough.

"Release the pseudo-Noble Phantasm, Mash!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka did not hesitate and issued another Command Spell, because Chaldea's energy could replenish one spell every day.

"Roger that, Mash Kyrielight, now liberate protection!"

Mashu formed a solid white chalk wall in front of the shield with almost no hindrance.

"Real name, fake login—"

Mashu stood beside Joan of Arc, her shield and banner intertwined, allowing Joan to catch her breath during her arduous resistance.

"Miss Joan of Arc, I'm here to help you!"

"Phew... Thank you, Mashu."

Joan of Arc wiped her sweat, then smiled and thanked her.

"Yes, we are both Servants of our seniors, let's protect them side by side!"

Mashu emitted a sound that rivaled that of an explosion magic spell!

"Lord Chaldeas!!"————

Chapter 28: Star Breath Clashes with the Holy Judgment's Iron Fist!

"nausea."

Jeanne Alter looked at the dazzling white light with disgust: "It's absolutely disgusting."

"Can someone pour some cold water on me and calm me down?"

Fafnir's dragon flames, powerful enough to destroy a city, were indeed blocked by the combined Noble Phantasms of Mash and Jeanne d'Arc.

This is also thanks to Fujimaru Ritsuka's ability to understand Jeanne d'Arc's Noble Phantasm despite only partially understanding it when reading the Star Inscription.

However, the good thing was ruined, and Jeanne Alter was unhappy.

The cheers from the crowd irritated her greatly.

Stare into each other's eyes.

Joan of Arc looked at Joan of Arc.

One of them had a solemn expression, his eyes filled with confusion and questioning.

With a slight upturn of the corners of her mouth, her eyes were filled with disdain, even mockery.

"Joan of Arc...our saint."

La Hire knelt on the ground: "Joan of Arc, you're not dead?!"

His face was filled with unprecedented guilt, and his voice was hoarse.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were dead all along, and I became despondent and even kept running away... I was just—"

"Keep your head up."

"Huh?!"

Joan of Arc did not turn back.

“La Hire, no one can remain calm after seeing her, so you don’t need to blame yourself.”

"But Joan of Arc, I..."

"Evacuate the crowd and ensure everyone's safety. This is my final order to you."

""

"Go quickly, don't hesitate. You should know that you will be on par with knights like Lancelot in the future."
