Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

This situation even surprised the Empress.

Empress: "Hmm? They managed to defend against everything!"

Afu: "Hmph, now you've seen how powerful my 'All-Purpose Magic Guidebook' is."

Gordes: "Idiot! How could you have blurted out the name of the Noble Phantasm yourself!"

Afu: "Uh..."

The Black team members: "...Sigh."

Serenika: "Astolfo, you're not allowed to speak in the group anymore!!!"

Chapter 208 - The Wicked Shakespeare

(Shakespeare)

[Afu continued his attack on the Empress, who summoned numerous magic arrays, unleashing a dense barrage of lightning, but all was blocked by Afu's barrier.]

[Afu: "I'll take your head!"]

Empress: "Ha, it seems my Sky Garden has been underestimated!"

The Empress summoned a magic circle once more, but this time she gathered the energy of lightning through a connection, unleashing an even more powerful attack.

[The careless Afu had his barrier shattered, and the griffin beneath him was also scattered, causing him to fall from the sky.]

Because he was a Heroic Spirit, although the fall to the ground hurt, Afu was not seriously injured.

Rin Tohsaka: "To fall from such a height, it looks so painful."

Weber: "It seems that the book's defenses are not invincible."

Astolfo wanted to use his Noble Phantasm, but the thought of the androids supplying him with magic power dying made him extremely reluctant.

Just then, Xiao Mo drove up and nearly hit Afu.

After Xiao Mo got out of the car, Lion Robber immediately turned the car around and drove off without saying a word.

It's a miracle this car is still running; it's been completely wrecked.

[Xiao Mo: "Really, but never mind. The main characters always appear later. It's only natural that Wang Youran goes to the battlefield."]

[Afu: "Huh? Are you the king?"]

[Xiao Mo: "That's right, if you surrender, I can make sure your head is severed without pain."]

[Afu: "That probably won't work, after all, I'm a Servant too."]

Having just survived one battle, Afu is now about to embark on his second.

Lancelot: "Mordred, how dare you presume to be king!"

Rebellious Knight: "What grievance do you have? I was meant to be king!"

Lancelot: "You are not the king's chosen successor, and you are a rebel. You have no right to be king!"

Rebellious Knight: "When it comes to rebellion, what right do you have to criticize me!"

Ilya: "Shouldn't we ask King Arthur for his opinion at a time like this?"

Artoria: "..."

Feng Xi: "You troublemaker! The relationship between the mother and daughter has just started to improve, and you want to ruin it?"

Rebellious Knight: "Can't you speak properly?! What mother and daughter? My father and I are father and son!"

Rin Tohsaka: "Is that all you're concerned about?!"

On the other side of the battlefield, Jeanne d'Arc was on her way to Kotomine Shirou's location when she was blocked by an attack launched by the Empress from the Sky Garden.

Upon receiving this news, Kotomine Shiro decided not to linger with Frankenstein any longer and retreated with Shakespeare.

However, when he tried to retreat, Kent wasn't having the time to back down.

[You think you can just fight whenever you want, and run away whenever you want? Do you even respect me?]

[Thus, Kotomine Shirou, who hadn't run far, was met with fierce pursuit from Kenjiro.]

Seeing this, Shakespeare used magic to cover their retreat.

"A person's life is nothing more than a shadow wandering forward in hesitation, merely a tragic actor who, when it's his turn to appear, can only shout on stage."

[Countless pages enveloped Ken's face, and the scene before her instantly changed.]

Painful memories resurfaced.

Scientist Dr. Victor Frankenstein wanted to create the perfect young girl, but after two years, he created a doll that couldn't even cry.

In a fit of rage, Viktor dismantled her, but to his surprise, she pieced herself back together.

Despite the terrible treatment she received, the girl still revered her creator as a father, only to be rejected and denied even a name.

Because she knew nothing, she presented the entrails of the vicious dog that had attacked her to her father as a treasure, only to be called a monster by him, leading to a decisive breakdown in their relationship.

"Stop."

Viktor appeared before Kenneth, his expression so gentle and kind.

[“Bang!”]

Upon seeing this familiar yet unfamiliar figure, Ken's heart skipped a beat, and the chastity token in her hand fell to the ground.

Ken: "Ugh!!!"

Koles: "What's wrong, Franken? Calm down!"

The wife said, "What a pitiful child. He was treated so cruelly by the creator because he did not meet the creator's expectations."

Teacher Ma: "Because they did not receive proper education, they did not even develop normal values."

Sieg: "Frankenstein, the unacknowledged android...?"

Rin Tohsaka: "I never expected Shakespeare's Noble Phantasm to be so vicious, reopening old wounds."

Feng Xi: "Shakespeare was originally a writer who liked to write tragedies."

Shakespeare: "Oh, life is a tragedy, and we ourselves are the cause of it."

Rin Tohsaka: "What kind of twisted logic are you spouting?"

Shishi Jie Li: "Making people confront their most painful memories is indeed a vicious yet practical method."

[Victor: "Yes, that's good. You don't need to fight anymore, because I didn't create you for that purpose."]

【"Ugh, ah..."】

Seeing the hand reaching towards her head, Ken suddenly bristled.

[Her parents' touch, though something she craved her whole life, she wasn't stupid.]

She knew that the person in front of her was not her father at all.

Her own father had never been so gentle with her.

【"Waaaaaah!!!"】

[Entering berserk mode, Frankenstein sent 'Viktor' flying with a single blow, then charged forward and began unleashing a barrage of attacks on his head.]

"Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up..."

[After an unknown amount of time, the person in front of her had become a pixelated mess, and only then did Ken stop.]

[Kennedy, having regained some of her senses, realized that this was probably the effect of Shakespearean magic.]

After all, the corpses before them had all been turned into puppets.

However, immediately afterward, Kenko collapsed to her knees, her face a mixture of despair and madness.

Even though it was fake, she hurt the person she longed for once again.

Ken: "Waaah..."

Cowles: "Frankenstein..."

Ilya: "How brutal, thank goodness it's fake."

Rin Tohsaka: "Shakespeare, you're really awful!"

Shakespeare: "There's nothing I can do; it's the effect of my magic trick. I have no idea what the victim will actually see."

"Waaah..."

Just as Kendall was about to go berserk again, Koles' voice rang in her ears.

"I command you with a Command Spell, Berserker, calm down!"

In an instant, all the negative emotions in Kendall's mind vanished.

[Kanner: "Huh?"]

"Great, have you calmed down yet?"

Seeing this, Corles, who was observing from inside the castle, breathed a sigh of relief and transmitted his voice, "Berserker, they've escaped. Don't worry about it. You've done a great job."

"Your pursuit ends here for now. There are many other places where you need to fight, understand?"

[Kannern: "Ahhh!"]
