I, Fujimaru Ritsuka, am back with a max-level character!

Oda Nobunaga reacted quickly and raised his musket to defend himself.

"That was close! If I hadn't reacted so quickly, I probably would have been killed without even realizing it." Even when facing a life-or-death situation, Oda Nobunaga remained calm and fearless.

"Life is only fifty years long, and I haven't even lived to fifty yet. I can't afford to give up like this!"

"Uh, fifty years...!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

"What's so funny?!"

"I was just thinking of happy things."

"What's so funny? You're not trying to make fun of me, are you? You're such an annoying guy."

Mashu, who was watching from the side, was unable to move, but she added fuel to the fire with a sweet smile and patiently explained: "According to the history we know, Oda Nobunaga did not live past fifty years old. He died at Honnoji at the age of only forty-nine."

Oda Nobunaga: ?! My buddy?

The petite girl was momentarily stunned, her surprised expression bordering on cuteness.

"Don't get distracted during the battle, believe me!"

Okita increased his strength, and the magical power supplied by Fujimaru Ritsuka rose, making Kage Okita's attacks even more ferocious.

"Damn it...did they think I'm helpless in close combat?"

Nobunaga was temporarily suppressed and began to grit his teeth.

Nobu, the unpopular Nobu, unlike Okita-san who is a popular character.

Although she lacks the consciousness of a Heroic Spirit, Miss Okita's instincts are already evident on Kage Okita's face!

"Damn it, damn it! How dare a mere shadow familiar look at me like that? They really underestimate me! Well then..."

Bang---!

A fierce explosion of magical power erupted from Oda Nobunaga's hand, and then directly blasted the adorable Kage Okita.

A knowing blow!

"Pfft—!"

The previous high-speed movement, coupled with the close combat with Oda Nobunaga, and being bombarded by Nobunaga's magic, ultimately caused poor Miss Okita to trigger her passive weakness.

"No matter how you manipulate it, a fake half-baked existence cannot create me. I am Nobunaga, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven. Behold, Onmyoji of Chaldea... This is the strongest power I can currently wield!"

Enraged by Ying Chongtian's gaze, Shin unleashed his full magical power.

Click!

Click——!

Click!

In an instant, the magic power behind Oda Nobunaga surged up rapidly, transforming into countless iron cannons, which appeared behind the girl's handsome figure through precise magical manipulation.

The dense array of iron cannons instantly obscured the view, and the eerie iron pipes made people forget that it was a weapon from the Renaissance era that had long been obsolete.

"How can you solve this problem?"

"If Oda Nobunaga were to fire that many arquebuses using his magic, they would probably sink your warships in an instant... Can you calm down a little..." Dr. Roman quickly tried to dissuade him.

"Those trivial matters are fine! What I want to see is how you break through this hail of bullets!"

With a wicked smile playing on his lips, Oda Nobunaga's crimson eyes seemed to gleam with a light that was both captivating and terrifying.

But

We won't just stop here!

"I see. In a confined space, even with Okita's speed, there's no way to escape the firepower of the secret technique."

"Senior, what should we do?! Oda Nobunaga's power right now can undoubtedly be described as 'Infinite Gun Control'!" Mashu looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with some worry and said with a sense of foreboding.

"Is this guy about to blow up his own ship? Is there anyone who can stop him? Where's that armored guy? And the little girl? Damn it... are we all going to end up as fish food?"

"Don't worry, since they're using guns, we just need to retaliate with the same number of firearms." Fujimaru Ritsuka remained completely calm.

"Huh?!" Mashu was stunned.

"Thank you for your hard work, Okita-san. The real show is just beginning."

Fujimaru Ritsuka ejected the Okita card from the limiter and then inserted the Archer card.

【Servant Ride】!

【Archer Oda Nobunaga】!

At the same time, a handsome girl in black military uniform, wearing a papaya-patterned hat, with scarlet eyes and a wicked smile appeared behind the boy.

“To deal with the Demon King, we should use the Demon King’s power, shouldn’t we?” Fujimaru Ritsuka said matter-of-factly.

Kadoc gasped, a sense of absurdity and ridiculousness washing over him: "What is this?!"

Oda Nobunaga was naturally even more bewildered. She was startled and became completely dumbfounded: ?! This guy! Has the exact same power as me?!

"What's wrong, Xin? Are you afraid when facing your own power?!"

"How could such a thing be possible? Gunners, fire!"

This is a provocation against the Demon King!

Can we really tolerate someone hacking our account right in front of us?!

No way!

"Since you insist on a decisive battle, then let's use this move to decide the outcome!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka inserted her Noble Phantasm Card into the limiter, and immediately after a flash of blue-green magical light, a 3,000-round rifling musket appeared behind her.

Fujimaru Ritsuka recited the new Noble Phantasm lines, and scorching flames burst forth from the arquebus.

"The corpses are exposed throughout the three thousand worlds. — The Heavenly Demons are descending! This is the Demon King's three thousand worlds!!"

Order: Fire!

Arquebuses and beam cannons, begin the beam attack!

However, Oda Nobunaga soon discovered a problem.

Why does the other person seem more like the Demon King than me?

It’s broken, I’m a substitute!

Chapter 18 Nobu: Fujimaru, become my retainer!

"Fighting against myself, as the Sixth Demon King, there is no reason for me to lose—! Fire!"

With Oda Nobunaga's command, the arquebus was filled with ample magic power and ammunition, and countless crimson rays shot out like lasers.

"Then I'll do the same on my end—fire back!"

Not to be outdone, Fujimaru Ritsuka had the shadowy Nobunaga floating in the air behind her, with a rifling matchlock musket spiraling around her illusory body.

Fire, musket!

In an instant, a magnificent musket war, resembling a miniature Star Wars battle, suddenly erupted above the ship.

Crimson laser beams erupted from the scorching barrel, and thousands of laser beams collided with each other after being ejected, producing a huge explosion.

Beep beep beep beep beep beep beep—!

With a sudden burst of light, Shadow Nobunaga's attack instantly deflected the beam of light emanating from Nobunaga's musket.

The shadowy Nobunaga behind Fujimaru Ritsuka was like someone wielding a super Gatling gun, instantly suppressing Oda Nobunaga's ancient shooting style.

"Impossible! Even for myself, how could I be inferior in firepower...?!"

"Because this is Nobu who upgraded the matchlock gun and used the Bond Craft Essence [Rotating Matchlock Gun]!"

"So this is me after my Level Up? No wonder he has the power to suppress me in a head-on battle?!"

Shin was somewhat shocked. Not only did her opponent possess the power to rule the world, but she also had the strongest evolved Nobu. However, losing to someone like that... wasn't so shameful.

"Oh no, this is terrible!"

We can't hold on any longer! Our gun formation is crumbling!

Oda Nobunaga gritted his teeth, but was forced to retreat under the onslaught of Fujimaru and Kage Nobunaga.

"Am I going to lose?!"

"It's the final blow, Faith!"

"Baka... Bakaana?! I actually..."

She didn't lose to Fujimaru, but to a stronger version of herself, which also means she has even greater potential, right?

Thinking about this made me feel much better.

It doesn't matter, if we lose, we lose.

The retreat from Kanesaki back then was also a very unwilling retreat. This little setback is nothing to the world. After countless failures, as long as you can grit your teeth and persevere to the end, you will win!

Although Nobunaga ultimately met his end, meow~

"Hehehe, there's nothing we can do about it!" The black-haired, red-eyed girl smiled, then said helplessly.

"I accept this absurd claim of saving humanity. In conclusion, the Oda family of Owari will be your allies on this unknown sea."

The girl's cheerful and generous smile immediately won people's favor.

Mashu: "Nobunaga-san, your attitude has suddenly changed!"

Kadoc: "This is terrifying. Just one battle, and he's already forged bonds with a hero from the past... Damn it, I could never be like him!"

The cute black-haired girl ran out of magic and collapsed to the ground, but she looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka happily.

"Hey! No wonder I entrusted my power to you in the future... I like you a lot. How about becoming a retainer of the Oda clan? I can bestow upon you fertile land, countless treasures, or the most beautiful girl in the world."

"If you'd like, you could also hand me straw sandals. Most people wouldn't even be qualified to do that!"

Um... I'd like to be Lady Nobunaga's sandal, is that alright?
