“————”

In the Hall of Observation, a heavy atmosphere of silence began to spread.

Listening to the truth that emerged from Joan of Arc's mouth, let alone Matthew, even Luo Zhen was a little speechless.

For a long time, Luo Zhen also thought that it was Joan of Arc whose attributes were converted to get the "Holy Grail", just like the peculiarity of Fuyuki City, and King Arthur, who had reversed his attributes, also got the "Holy Grail" from someone else.

Now, Luo Zhen understands that this premise itself is wrong.

It wasn't Joan of Arc who got the "Holy Grail" with attribute transformation, but Jill as Caster's present world? Morality? Thunder.

He is the one who caused this peculiarity to appear.

As for Black Joan of Arc, it is just an existence made by Caster using the Holy Grail, not the real Joan of Arc.

———— "fakes".

Luo Zhen suddenly had such a word in his mind.

Other words...

"Yes, I am an impostor, nothing more than a forgery of the great Holy Maiden, that is, I have not been betrayed by France, and at the same time I have not protected France, and even this hatred, curse, and resentment are fabricated, the reason is only that Gil wants to take revenge on this country."

Black Joan of Arc seemed to have completely unmasked, and her pretty face, which was exactly the same as Joan of Arc, became a little distorted, but she was still desperately mocking and smiling desperately.

"You said you never wanted revenge on anyone, did you? Never hated anyone, did you? But how do you know that others don't? ”

Jill? Morality? Ray, the man, hated all this from the bottom of his heart and fell for it.

That's why this fanatic wanted to use the "Holy Grail" to create a holy woman in his mind, a Joan of Arc who could legitimately take revenge, complain, and curse on the whole of France.

For this reason, Joan of Arc was born.

Jill thought I didn't know anything, but when she made me, she was moved and said, "Oooh...! Holy Maiden...! You're finally back here again! This...! This time you must...!" In that case, he then gave me the Holy Grail, telling me that it was he who had summoned me, that I had the right to take revenge in this age, and that everything I had done was right, as it should have been. ”

Joan of Arc said this with great self-deprecation.

"At first I thought I was the real Joan of Arc, and Jill didn't tell me anything, but ah, he was the one who gave me the Grail."

Maybe others will be a little inexplicable when they hear this, but Luo really understands.

It was because of the Holy Grail that Black Joan of Arc knew all this.

After all, the thing called the Holy Grail is the Wishing Machine.

"When I saw you here two days ago, didn't you say something like 'I didn't think about revenge'?"

Joan of Arc uttered the hint in a self-deprecating tone.

Presumably, it was at that time that Joan of Arc began to wonder about the reason and had the idea of using the power of the Holy Grail to clear her doubts, right?

By making a wish, Joan of Arc learned the truth of everything from the Holy Grail.

That's why Joan of Arc said that.

"What Jill really wants to save is Joan of Arc, the saint in his heart, the you he has been pursuing, not me as a fake, I am just regarded as you by him!"

Joan of Arc spoke out loud about her resentment.

"But why are you still so calm!?"

Joan of Arc suddenly waved the flag in her hand.

"Bang!"

The karmic fire of the red lotus suddenly burned, like a wave, rushing in the direction where Luo Zhen and his party were.

But Matthew and Joan of Arc's Noble Phantasms were still working, turning the barrier and light into the strongest protection, once again blocking the spreading sea of fire.

However, I don't know if it's a delusion on the part of everyone...

"Fire... The temperature of the flame seems to have risen...!? More than just now...! ”

Matthew shouted as if he was under tremendous pressure, holding on to his shield as best he could.

In this regard, Luo Zhen could only smile bitterly.

"Not as if, but as it is."

Relying on the ability of the Heavenly Eye, Luo Zhen could clearly perceive that the power of the sea of fire outside had indeed risen a lot.

"That witch's treasure is a type that can transform the resentment of her subordinates, herself, and the surrounding people into magic and incinerate, and if a friend dies, her power will increase."

Therefore, after Caster's death, the power of Joan of Arc's Noble Phantasm naturally increased.

Not to mention, Joan of Arc's own resentment is also rising, constantly increasing the power of the treasure.

Plus the support of the Holy Grail...

"It's a bit of a problem..."

Luo Zhen clenched the hand that carved the last spell, and his heart was full of hesitation.

Should I use the last hole card here?

No, not yet.

If the last hole card is used here, the second danger is likely to be fatal to the group.

"I can only use the Demon Defense!"

Luo Zhen did not hesitate to squander his magic power.

That's when ...

“…… Do you really think Jill is for me? ”

Joan of Arc, who was silently supporting her protection like Matthew, suddenly spoke up.

"If you think so, you're wrong."

Joan of Arc's words made Black Joan of Arc stunned.

In such a situation, Joan of Arc cried out.

"Think about it! The last of the last! The direction in which Jill is reaching out is you! It's not me! ”

Joan of Arc's cry made Joan of Arc's expression change slightly.

Perhaps, Black Joan of Arc thinks that Caster did this because she was Joan of Arc, right?

But...

"If Jill really only pursues me, then he won't continue to stay here, he will definitely come after me, and he won't oppose me with you, he will always choose you, not me!"

Joan of Arc spoke the words that were in her heart.

"Perhaps, you're not me."

"Perhaps, Jill made you because of me and his selfishness."

"But you're certainly not just a substitute for Jill."

"Didn't he say the same in the end?"

"I hope you can live well," ———— this is my assertion as his closest comrade-in-arms!"

With the sound of Joan of Arc's words, the sea of fire that filled the entire hall began to sway.

It was like representing the wavering of Joan of Arc's heart.

"I... I..."

Joan of Arc's face was twisted and struggling.

Seeing this, not to mention the rest of the people, at least Luo Zhen understands.

The witch in front of her didn't just have hatred in her heart.

This person, after all, is born with reference to Joan of Arc.

In his heart, there is absolutely innocence and kindness that others cannot understand.

Sensing this, and recalling the scene where Caster blocked the fatal blow he sent for this girl, Luo Zhen said this almost without hesitation.

"Stop, don't do anything like that again."

This sentence became the last straw that overwhelmed the hatred in Hei Joan's heart.

“…………”

Joan of Arc bit her lip.

The sea of fire that was swaying around it suddenly began to extinguish.

This made both Matthew and Joan of Arc a little happy.

It's just that Luo Zhen suddenly held his breath and shouted.

"Be careful!"

When the voice rang out in the Hall of Hearing...

"It's just a fake, and you really can't expect too much."

Beneath a cold, unforgiving voice...

"Poof!"

A hand pierced Ku'an's body, peeking through her abdomen.
