With the disappearance of the Golden Theater, the battlefield has also returned to its original state.

The soldiers under his command were gone, but Romulus was still standing.

"Just ...... What happened? ”

"I don't know...... I just felt like I couldn't see anything when the white light flashed in front of me......"

"Why are all those murderous soldiers gone? Could it be that His Majesty did something? ”

The Roman soldiers guarding the city walls showed dazed expressions.

Probably because he was afraid that they would be shocked or simply couldn't accept it psychologically, Nero directly did not include them in the scope of the Golden Theater.

So, they didn't know what had happened before.

"That's it, Nero Claudius." Romulus looked at us and said, "Although you have done a great job of destroying my army, at the moment my strength alone is enough to completely destroy the city of Rome. ”

"Hmm...... This kind of thing...... Yu will not allow it......"

Nero gritted his teeth, his sword lying across his side.

However, the magic in her body had been depleted, and she was no longer capable of fighting.

Unleash the Noble Phantasm and drain all of her power.

The three spells had all been used, and there was no way for her to continue fighting.

"Hmph, it's clear that it's no longer possible, why do you insist on this?" Romulus glanced at Nero with some disgust, "Such an unrelenting behavior is not Roman at all. ”

"Let me give you the last grace and put an end to your life today. As long as you are eliminated this time, you will be completely removed from the Throne of the Heroic Soul, which can be regarded as my heart. ”

Romulus's voice fell, and he raised the red spear in his hand again.

"Die!"

Hula-

The spear breaks through space and stabs Nero in the chest!

It was a blow that transcended time, and even if the eye caught it, there was no way to defend against it.

Neither I nor Nero could watch the tip of the gun get closer and closer, but there was nothing we could do.

Ding——!

Just when we were on the verge of despair, waiting for death to come, a transparent shield rose in front of us.

Burst!

The tip of the gun went straight into the protective shield, but it seemed to be stuck in the mire, unable to move.

"Uh......h Who is it that dares to stop me? ”

Romulus couldn't help but look around warily.

Don't blame him for being like this, the person who can counteract his offensive must be no less powerful than him.

"What's going on? Someone can actually stop the Divine Ancestor? ”

Nero was also surprised by the sudden change.

"Is it ......?"

I vaguely guessed something.

"Oh, oops, why did someone use a knife or a gun as soon as I came back, it scared people to death. We want peace, not war, and we have something to say. ”

A man in a white robe appeared in front of us with blooming petals.

He still held the magic in one of his hands, proving that Fang Cai's magic was done by him.

"Who is Your Excellency? I am the Roman god Romulus, and this is an internal matter of Rome. If you can, please recuse yourself today. He will be thankful for him one day. ”

Romulus squinted at the man who appeared in front of him without warning, and said with some uncertainty.

"I don't want to care, whether you humans or heroic spirits, how you like to fight, I just want to watch the play on the side."

The man shrugged.

"Then your Excellency means ......" Romulus' eyes moved.

"However, there are always exceptions to everything, and people have to break the original rules and standards of conduct." The man shook his head and said, "You said this is an internal matter in Rome, right?" I can't see it. ”

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Merlin, magician Merlin, have you heard of it?"

Merlin looked at Romulus with a smile.

"Merlin? Could it be that you are the legendary mage of Britain? Romulus was so shocked that he took several steps back.

This also blew my mind. I could imagine that Romulus would have been jealous of Merlin, but I didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.

"No...... Although you are also one of the few 'sages' in the world, your realm is British, and it has nothing to do with my Rome! In a panic, Romulus even lost the title he used to put up the fight, "I have never offended the Knight King of Britain, let alone harmed Camelo's interests, why did you appear in front of me?" ”

"You're right, but you're ignoring something." Merlin casually stretched out his hand and pointed at me behind me, "Do you know who this little imp is?" He's Artoria, the only lover of the Knight King you call it, and the only student I've ever taught magic! ”

"What!?"

Romulus froze for an instant, his previous momentum dissipated.

"Hey, you're so close to you, that Merlin is secretly protecting you? Isn't this also one of Qing's plans, the performer is really smart! ”

Seeing this, Nero lowered his voice and said in my ear.

"I didn't know he was here, he came out on his own." I said helplessly.

From the time I met Nero and fought Romulus to the death, I had never seen Merlin's shadow at all, not even the secret message.

But this time he appeared just in time, otherwise Nero and I would probably have died on the spot.

“…… Let that little imp go with you, and then it's okay, right? ”

After a while, Romulus gritted his teeth and said.

"Uh-huh, no problem." Merlin said happily, looking back at me, "Come on, little ghost, Artoria's side must be in a hurry." Come back to Camelot with me, and don't come out to make trouble in the future. ”

"Performer, let's go quickly, as long as Qing can get out of danger, it is more important than anything else."

Nero also hurriedly let go of my arm.

“……”

I glanced at Merlin and then at Nero.

"No, I'm not leaving."

Finally making up my mind, I shook my head vigorously.

"Imp (Performer)!?"

"I've promised Nero that I must protect her. And Rome was what Nero cared about the most. So I can't just walk away and let destruction happen. ”

With that, I grabbed Nero's hand again.

"Alas...... Kid, you're stubborn. Merlin sighed, then turned to Romulus, who had an ugly face, "Dude, you can also see that this little imp has no good qualities, and the stubbornness is very prominent. As long as he decides something, even I can't change it. ”

"Damn! Don't deceive too much! Romulus couldn't bear it any longer, and roared wildly, "Merlin, you have seriously violated the rules of the world by interfering in the affairs of my Rome like this!" Believe it or not, I'll go to the Suppression Force and sue you and apply for sanctions against you? ”

"Whatever you want, anyway, it's not a matter of a day or two that the world doesn't like me." Merlin shrugged indifferently, "The people who sue me can't line up every day, and you're not one of them!" ”

"You ——!"

Romulus was so angry that his face turned red, but he was helpless.

Merlin is clearly playing hooligan, but he has unrivaled intelligence and strength. No matter who encounters such a scoundrel, there is nothing they can do.
