Chapter 103: Luring the Enemy × Annihilation √
Trimmau reverted to its original form before swiftly expanding in front of Reines.
The sky darkened, and an ethereal sun and moon rose simultaneously. The spears raining down from above vanished without a trace.
Not only that, but the Spartan warriors caught in it also gradually faded away, dissolving into nothingness.
"——————?!"
Leonidas couldn't believe his eyes—the Noble Phantasm he took such pride in had been nullified in an instant.
"My warriors… Who the hell are you?!"
He roared in fury.
"Though announcing one's name before battle is a Heroic Spirit's pride, not everyone is as muscle-headed as you."
Reines flashed a mischievous grin.
"Take a guess—who knows? Maybe I'm the legendary King Arthur?"
To check on Reines' situation, Ethan switched the livestream feed to her location.
As the full image appeared, the livestream chat immediately exploded with comments:
[Too despicable!]
[She dares to bully a simple-minded Spartan!!!]
[Thank god Mo-chan didn't hear this, or she would've grabbed her sword and rushed over.]
[Mordred: Did someone just mention my dad?]
[Mordred: DIE, IMPOSTOR!! CLARENT DADDY COMPLEX!!!]
[What the hell is that Noble Phantasm? It looks even more terrifying than Waver's! Is this why she was so confident she'd survive as bait?]
[Wait a second—why am I seeing Sima Yi solo 300 Spartan warriors and wiping them out? Are all Chinese Servants in this game this OP?]
[This must be funded by China! Y'all know the unspoken rule of Chinese productions.]…
[System: 'Leave your wife and daughter to me' has sent 100 Saint Quartz!]
[Message: A muscular army of 300 men surrounding a young maiden!? This is just as thrilling as 'Saintess vs. Tentacles'!]…
"Haa————————!!!"
Leonidas roared, gripping his golden spear as he charged straight at Reines!
Trimmau, having reverted to its form, suddenly appeared, transforming its left arm into a shield to block the incoming strike. At the same time, its right arm morphed into a razor-sharp blade, slashing straight at Leonidas!!!
"Is that all?!"
Leonidas immediately raised his shield to block the attack!
"Crack——————!!!"
A shattering sound echoed as the mercury blade pierced through the broken shield, cutting straight into Leonidas' chest.
Bright red blood splattered everywhere.
"Ugh!!"
Leonidas staggered back, using his spear to steady himself as he quickly regained his footing.
Blood continued to flow from the wound on his chest.
"Oya, to be able to use your spear to block the instant your shield shattered? As expected of King Leonidas of Sparta."
Reines couldn't help but praise him.
"Even my sturdy shield was destroyed… You are indeed a worthy opponent!!!"
Despite his shield and Noble Phantasm being neutralized, Leonidas showed no fear. Instead, his fighting spirit burned even hotter!!!
"Maa, I suppose it's about time. Once I finish you off, I'll figure out how to regroup with Onii-sama."
"Trimmau! As he wishes, finish him off."
"Understood, Oujou-sama!"
Trimmau immediately lunged forward, prepared to deliver the finishing blow to the wounded Leonidas.
"Whoosh————————!!"
Suddenly, a figure rushed in at blinding speed, and at the same time, a golden streak of light slashed straight toward Reines' head!
"Clang————————!!"
Trimmau immediately sensed the killing intent and swiftly positioned itself in front of Reines, blocking the incoming attack.
Before Reines' eyes, a man with an overly benevolent face appeared.
"I never expected such a beautiful maiden to be fighting here…"
"And even managing to gravely wound the King of Sparta. Truly unexpected."
"I didn't expect a fat man to be this agile either. Consider me impressed."
"Should I introduce you to a fitness coach? They're really good at wrestling."
Reines smirked, speaking from behind Trimmau.
"Thanks, but I prefer my current physique."
"To be honest, when I see a beautiful maiden like you… I feel like the golden sword in my hand has grown dull."
The plump man took a step back, standing beside Leonidas.
"To think that the renowned King Leonidas would be grievously wounded by a little girl."
"As long as Sparta has not fallen, I have not lost!!!"
Leonidas roared, shifting to grip his spear with both hands before charging straight at Reines!
Trimmau instantly morphed both arms into spears, thrusting forward at the same time Leonidas drove his own spear forward.
"Urgh!!"
The mercury spears pierced through Leonidas' chest, but at the same time, Trimmau's body was also impaled.
However, mercury does not bleed.
"It's not over yet!!"
Despite being stabbed through the chest, Leonidas suddenly mustered his remaining strength, pouring every ounce of his power into thrusting his spear straight at Reines, who was standing behind Trimmau!
"Battle Continuation?!"
Reines immediately took a step back, narrowly dodging the attack.
"Apologies, nameless flower of a maiden. For the sake of Roma, I must mercilessly eliminate you here."
Taking advantage of the moment Trimmau was pinned by Leonidas, the surprisingly nimble fat man swiftly swung his golden sword from behind, aiming straight for Reines!
"Clang————————!!"
Even with its body pierced through, Trimmau morphed part of itself into a barrier, successfully blocking the incoming slash.
"Oh? You can still hold on?"
The large man pressed his attack, his gaze locked onto Reines, who was beginning to show signs of tension.
"Maiden, a flower in bloom—why not join me?"
"Oh? Now you want to negotiate?"
"But of course. I am not like that stubborn Spartan. I cherish talent. The war is coming to an end—Roma needs brilliant minds to rebuild."
"You seem just as capable as that traitorous Tactician. So? Do you wish to side with me?"
His words carried a strange allure, persistently attempting to sway Reines.
"Are you telling me to surrender?"
Reines smiled.
"Even if I had that thought, the person within me would reject it outright."
"Besides, following Onii-sama is much more fun."
"Though I do feel bad for Master, I really want to see Onii-sama's annoyed face when my plan fails."
"Is that so? What a shame."
The golden sword in his hand pressed down harder, and Trimmau, caught between two powerful forces, could no longer hold on.
Its mercury body began to collapse.
"In that case, for Roma, I must eliminate you!"
"BOOM——————————!!"
Just as Trimmau shattered completely, a dark figure suddenly charged in, knocking both men away!
"You are——————?!"
Reines stared in shock at the girl standing before her.
"Damn woman, this settles my debt with you, got it?!"
Before her stood a valiant Holy Maiden, gripping the battle flag of the Dragon Witch, looking down at Reines with a gaze full of pride.
"…Seriously… At least call me 'lady' instead."
