Thanks for the invitation. I'm in Type-Moon, inheriting the legacy of Zi-O.

"..." The white-robed man remained silent, glancing at the blue elemental spirit beside him.

Instantly understanding its master's meaning, the blue sprite stretched out its arms, constructed of water, and rushed towards Mordred.

"Hmph! Such a petty trick—" Mordred quickly raised his sword to counter, expecting this attack to be similar to the opponent's fire attack.

However, after getting to know her, she realized she was wrong.

The moment the water touched the blade, it seemed to come alive, and the water flowed up Mordred's hand along with the blade.

"!" Mordred was taken aback and quickly revealed the crimson lightning on the blade of his sword.

Then, I felt a tingling sensation in my arm.

Because of its electrical conductivity, the water flowed into everything, causing Mordred's armor to also be affected by the electric current.

Fortunately, it was only a slight tingling sensation, and she was able to break free from the water's grasp, also managing to evaporate the water on her body during the electric shock.

Finally... came the incoming wind blades.

The tingling sensation prevented Mordred from raising his sword, and he gritted his teeth as he watched the approaching emerald green wind blade.

"Is this all I can do—?" Just when she thought she was going to be hit, a purple energy blast shattered the wind blade. Mordred quickly looked in the direction of the blast.

“…Phew.” Nian Zhuo blew on his breath and nodded at her.

Immediately afterwards, Mordred felt herself fall into a warm embrace.

"Miss Mordred, are you alright?" Mash looked at her with some concern and gently placed her on the ground in a princess carry.

"...Ah, it's nothing serious." Mordred waved his hand and looked at Paracelsus, who was standing still, and his four elemental spirits. "But they're really troublesome."

Standing at the very end, Nian Zhuo's white and red watch face flashed by.

The Elementalist's Magic Sword

Holding the white and red watch face in his hand, Nian Zhuo put away the Time Gun Sword and turned the watch face in his hand.

"Please, Haruto." He closed his eyes and placed the watch face on the driver at his waist. "Be my hope—!"

"Wizard—!"

A bright red magic circle appeared in the sky. Not only that, Nian Zhuo even took out the Decade watch face and placed it on the driver at his waist along with the wizard watch face.

"——!——!" A deafening dragon roar echoed from the crimson magic circle in the sky.

"This is the [hope] I created!" Nian Zhuo said loudly, while flipping the driver at his waist.

From the enormous, crimson magic circle in the sky, crimson flames erupted into a massive pillar of fire, engulfing Nian Zhuo below and instantly burying his silver figure within it.

At the same time, a bright red dragon flew out of the magic circle, flapping its wings and circling the pillar of fire as it descended.

"What a magnificent sight this is!" Gazing up at the towering pillar of fire, Shakespeare couldn't help but exclaim, "These crimson flames, as if reaching straight to the heavens! Like the Tower of Babel, which is destined to be destroyed!"

"..." Similarly, this spectacular scene caused everyone to stop what they were doing and look up at the bright red dragon accompanied by the pillar of fire.

"...Tch, he had this trick up his sleeve." Mordred felt a little annoyed for some reason as he looked at the bright red dragon.

Then, to everyone's wide-eyed surprise, the crimson dragon flapped its wings and disappeared into the pillar of fire.

“…Ah, I’ve gone inside.” Ritsuka stared blankly at the towering flames, her thoughts halting.

The crimson magic circle in the sky gradually shrank and then disappeared. Similarly, the towering pillar of fire also began to dissipate.

With her skirt trailing to the ground, a crimson-clad mage emerged from the pillar of fire.

Not only that, but there are also silver decorations on the shoulders that resemble dragon heads, and dragon claw-like decorations on the hands and legs.

Flames encircled his shoulders, adorning the dragon's head with two red dots of light.

"Armor Time! KamenRide! Wow! Deca! Deca! Decade~!"

"Final Form Time! Flame Dragon—!!"

As the sound effect ended, bright flames appeared on Nianzhuo's fists.

"Hey, it's Show Time!" With her eyes shining, Nian Zhuo rushed towards the blue elemental spirit, Water.

“...Hmph, idiot.” Paracelsus smiled slightly as he watched Nian Zhuo’s actions. “Water is the greatest counter to fire. Anyone with even a little knowledge of magic theory should know that.”

“…Mash, although I don’t know what Mr. Nianzhuo is thinking—”; Ritsuka turned her head and whispered in Mash’s ear, “—but since Mr. Nianzhuo has made this choice, then go and help him block the attacks from other directions, please! Create an opportunity for him!”

"—Yes! I understand, Master!" Mash nodded, then raised her shield and followed Nian Zhuo's figure towards Paracelsus.

"...Pay the price for your ignorance!" Suddenly, Paracelsus pointed his short sword at Nian Zhuo, who was rushing towards the water elemental, and at the same time, a blue gem flew from his fingertips, shattered around the short sword, and formed a bright blue halo.

Following Paracelsus's instructions, all the elemental spirits sprang into action.

The blue halo transformed into magic, attaching itself to the water elemental spirit and solidifying its flowing arms into the shape of a sword.

He swung his arm, which had transformed into a sword, directly at the oncoming Nian Zhuo.

"—" Simply by raising his hands, Nian Zhuo grabbed the water-based sword blade with both hands, his figure suddenly sank, and he knelt on the ground, even causing the surrounding stone steps to sink.

“…Mr. Nianzhuo!” Mashu was startled at first, and quickly sped up to stand next to Nianzhuo.

At the same time, the gold elemental spirit's fist and the wind elemental spirit's attack arrived, but both were blocked by Mash's shield.

"...Ugh, so heavy!" Mash gritted her teeth, her hands gripping the shield tightly as she looked at Nian Zhuo behind her. "But—don't even think about getting through here!"

But it wasn't over yet. On the other side, a fire elemental sprite spewed flames and attacked Nianzhuo.

Then, crimson lightning struck, and flames collided with the sword blade once more.

"...Hey, your opponent is me!" Mordred said with a smug expression, turning to look at Nianzhuo, who was kneeling on the ground. "Hey! Nianzhuo, although I don't know what tricks you're playing, it's time to show the true power of your appearance!" Crimson lightning, clinging to the flames, severed the fire elemental's arm.

"Hmph, didn't you see he's being suppressed right now... and you still dare to talk about true power..." Paracelsus couldn't help but reveal a somewhat disdainful expression. "Is this all there is to what you call true righteousness?"

“Is that so?” However, Mash and Mordred, who turned to look at Paracelsus, both wore smiles for some reason.

"Then, look at your once-proud power, what has become of it?" Mordred severed the fire elemental's arm, still having the strength to point at the water elemental behind Paracelsus.

"...?" Paracelsus turned his head in confusion, then his eyes widened in disbelief at what was happening before him. "How is this possible—!"

The water elemental spirit, which was supposed to be suppressing Nian Zhuo, now showed a pained expression, even clutching its hand as if it wanted to pull it out but couldn't.

"How is this possible..." Staring blankly at the end of his arm, Nian Zhuo remained kneeling on the ground, but his aura was completely different. "How could you possibly...!"

Sparks of light began to flicker in Nianzhuo's hand, which held the water-flowing sword blade crafted by Paracelsus using gem magic.

"No, it's impossible...!" He backed away, completely unable to believe the tiny sparks of light.

"Don't underestimate me!" Immediately afterward, Nian Zhuo's hands burst into intense flames, and he stood up from the ground, holding the sword blade. "My flames will never go out!" The flames instantly clung to the water, and scorching steam sprayed in all directions.

"...Ha! Just as I thought!" Mordred, with an air of "I knew it," casually swung his sword without turning his head, repelling the fire elemental spirit that was about to attack from behind. Somewhat bored, he turned his head and said, "Fine, I've figured out your attack pattern. That's it."

Immediately afterwards, she gripped the sword hilt with both hands behind her back and squatted down slightly.

Clang—the sound of a mechanism activating came from the bright silver sword.

Just like before, she crouched slightly, and crimson magic was added to the blade, turning into raging lightning.

"Then leave here! You fire-wielding devil!" Mordred suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the hilt of his sword, and swung it at the fire elemental spirit.

Crimson lightning roared and swept across the surrounding ground, instantly electrolyzing the air and emitting a foul odor.

The fiery red elemental spirit had completely vanished.

Only a small, fiery red fragment landed on the ground, which looked as if it had been struck by lightning.

"...Phew~ Much better, much better." Wiping away non-existent sweat from her forehead, Mordred slung the sword over her shoulder and turned to look at Nian Zhuo and the others. "The rest is up to Mash Ritsuka and that guy."

“…How could this be? This is truly…so heartbreaking.” Sensing that the fire elemental spirit had completely severed its connection, Paracelsus only now realized that one elemental spirit had completely vanished.

"Are you ready!" Then, a voice that sounded like a demon came from above. Paracels looked up and took in the figure of the unpredictable, fiery red mage.

At this moment, Nianzhuo, who was in mid-air, opened his arms and looked at the water elemental spirit.

"Here I come!" In an instant, Nianzhuo dodged the water attack and grabbed the water elemental spirit's head. "Aren't you water?" he asked, looking at the struggling water elemental spirit under his command.

"Then, watch this!" Instantly, flames adhered to Nian Zhuo's arm, and with each breath from his palm, they enveloped the water elemental spirit's entire body.

Hissing sounds filled the air as the water elemental struggled to escape the damned flames, or perhaps extinguish them. ...But it was all in vain.

The hot water vapor formed a second barrier, accelerating the rate of water evaporation.

In less than a minute, the water elemental spirit was completely evaporated by the turbid flames.

“…How could this be?” Paracelsus was unwilling to believe it, but the facts were right in front of him. “The elemental spirits actually…lost.”

"Mr. Nianzhuo!" At the same time, Mashu also achieved her goal on the other side. With the cooperation of Ritsuka, she successfully dislocated one of the gold element spirit's hands and also brought the wind element spirit to the brink of death.

"Received!" Nian Zhuo immediately moved towards the direction of the voice, and then used his fist, which was burning with raging flames, to pierce through the wind elemental spirit and successfully destroy it.

In the end, only the gold elemental spirit, whose arm had been removed by Mashu, remained.

"...Hmph, there's something I've wanted to do for a long time!" Suddenly, Nian Zhuo flipped the driver at his waist, and his entire body was instantly engulfed in flames.

"Finish Time—!" He took a step forward, his fiery figure rising into the air. He lunged at the last remaining earth elemental spirit.

The elemental spirit, whose arm had been severed by Mashu, could barely stand. It could only watch as a figure emitting flames suddenly approached rapidly and embraced it in the blink of an eye.

"It's on fire!" The flames all over his body were still rising, but Nian Zhuo was already complaining a little. "Nian Zhuo Flow - Self-created - Big Character Explosion!!"

“Dragon Breath——!” The head of the crimson dragon appeared from Nian Zhuo’s chest.

Not only that, it opened its mouth, and even each of its dragon teeth was clearly visible, with scorching dragon breath forming inside.

Immediately afterwards, the flames all over Nianzhuo's body gradually became brighter.

To everyone's astonishment, Nian Zhuo—self-destructed.

With a loud thud, golden fragments scattered everywhere—the remains of elemental spirits shattered by Nian Zhuo's explosion.

Nian Zhuo, on the other hand, stood unharmed in the center, sizing up the remaining Paracelsus.

The defeat was inevitable... Paracelsus understood that he and his companions had already lost.

"How about that? This is my own 'righteousness'." Nian Zhuo bumped fists, but remained vigilant in his transformed state. He wouldn't underestimate this opponent until Paracelsus completely disappeared. "This time, you don't have a teleportation medium either. Shall we just leave like this?"

"..." His gaze swept over the surrounding enemies, Paracelsus fumbling for the short sword in his hand. "It seems I've already lost..."

“That’s right, now if you choose to surrender and tell us more information…!” Mordred said casually, slinging his sword over his shoulder.

"—!" Before he could finish speaking, a strange flash of light shot past Mordred, hitting the wall and leaving a large crater.

“What do you mean by this—” Nian Zhuo looked at the short sword in Paracelsus’s hand. “You should understand that if you continue like this, you will only be eliminated.”
