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

Nikola Tesla didn't usually use this skill often, but in that situation, even a single mistake could mean facing a falling blade.

Therefore, Tesla quickly acquired an archery skill equivalent to rank A, seized Mordred's weakness, and fired lightning to barely neutralize the opponent's attack.

Above him, Mash, whom he had just repelled, reappeared, but this time Tesla had no means to stop her.

Fortunately... I felt the solid touch of the earth beneath my feet.

Without daring to stop for a moment, Tesla immediately used electricity to strengthen his body and dodged to the side.

Thump—I could feel the earth trembling.

Mashu's attack, which came crashing down from the sky, slammed into the ground, sending up countless pebbles.

However, they still failed to hit Tesla, and then Nian Zhuo and Mordred arrived.

As for Ritsuka, she was entrusted by Nencho to be protected by Ryotaro, who was injured and unable to participate in the battle. Although he was injured and unable to fight, he was still able to chase after Nencho and the others with Ritsuka.

"I never imagined... that I would be forced into such a sorry state by you..." Kneeling on the ground, the lightning around him was somewhat weak, and one of Tesla's arms was still trembling from time to time.

"...Same to you, you're so troublesome." Nian Zhuo, his red dragon wings folding behind him, also clutched his waist. "Are all scientists as troublesome as you?"

“Ha… I might have felt honored to receive such praise before.” However, Tesla stood up from the ground, his pale green eyes fixed on Nian Zhuo, who was panting heavily. “But unfortunately, I have already finished.”

"It's done? What?" Nian Zhuo stared at Tesla in front of him, his pupils shrinking slightly. "The lightning around his body... is gone..."

Yes, Tesla is standing there now, looking just like an ordinary, harmless person.

—If we ignore the electric current that ran through the entire street.

“…! Mashu!” Mary glanced indifferently at the light screen above her head, then suddenly slammed her hands on the table and activated the communicator. “A massive amount of magical energy is gathering on Tesla! It’s possible he’s about to unleash the true name of his Noble Phantasm! Quick! Stop him!”

"What—!?" Upon hearing this, Mash, Nian Zhuo, and Mordred were all stunned. They then rushed towards Tesla, who was a few steps away, trying to stop him.

"Didn't I already say—" However, the other's palms met, and between their palms, purple lightning condensed into a ball of light.

"Damn it, I can't stop him!" Nian Zhuo immediately condensed several fireballs and threw them at the opponent. The raging flames illuminated Tesla's crazed face.

"—It's too late, my power has already been fully gathered." Absorbing the surrounding demonic mist, gale, and even the fireball thrown by Nian Zhuo, all were swallowed up by the lightning ball in Tesla's palm and instantly dissipated.

"—This is?" Nian Zhuo sensed the rising power of the lightning sphere in the opponent's palm. "It transformed my attack into electricity?! Isn't that the power of the demonic mist?"

Current Electricity: A

It allows for the free conversion or storage of biological currents and magical energy.

Nikola Tesla can instantly convert intangible attacks such as magic light, magic wind, and magic bullets into electricity to store and replenish his magic power.

Looking around, Mordred's magic power had not yet fully recovered, so she could not be allowed to defend.

As for Mashu... her status as a Demi-Servant is the biggest constraint, limiting her ability to contribute. Under these circumstances, unless Ritsuka activates her Noble Phantasm, Mashu will not be able to withstand the opponent's lightning.

"...So, it's going to be up to me again..." With a bitter smile, Nian Zhuo unleashed a surge of frenzied magic, continuously transforming everything around him into burning flames that gathered in his palm.

At the same time, he freed up one hand and pressed the buttons on the wizard and decade watch faces on his waist drive.

"Finish Time—!"

Behind Nian Zhuo, crimson dragon wings unfurled, protecting Mash and Mordred.

"You two, get back!" Facing Tesla, Nian Zhuo gathered flames in his palms, urging Mordred and Mash to retreat further. "But remember to stay within my reach!"

"At this point, do you still have the leisure to think about others?" On the other side, the lightning in Tesla's palm began to shrink, compress, and compress again, gradually turning white.

"Well, at least let's talk about it after you've withstood this attack!" Tesla pulled the lightning away with a ferocious smile, his hands moving up and down.

"Come forth—[Human Mythology: The Descent of Lightning]!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the elongated lightning bolt transformed into a straight torrent, surging towards Nianzhuo like a rushing sea.

"What?! He just unleashed his Noble Phantasm's true name right off the bat!" With his previous memories, Nian Zhuo naturally recognized that Tesla had unleashed his Noble Phantasm, and now he couldn't care less about holding back.

"Drink—!" The flames gathered in his palm transformed into a ferocious dragon head. The crimson dragon roared and scorched the surrounding air as it surged toward the waves of lightning that were shooting towards it.

"Well, it's a Noble Phantasm release... but it's not at full power..." As Tesla unleashed the torrent of lightning, he felt the massive depletion of his magical energy, and a few drops of sweat dripped from his forehead. "After all, going all out... the magical energy consumption is just too great... it's not impossible that I might just disappear, and that would be a huge loss..."

[Human Mythology - The Descent of Lightning]: EX

It is a product of sublimating the great achievements of his lifetime with the mystery of numerous supernatural legends.

Electromagnetic manipulation capabilities. Bringing to the earth the power reminiscent of the return of thunder gods from numerous myths.

It primarily attacks via electromagnetic projection. It is precisely because of this long-range attack that Nikola Tesla, who was not originally skilled in using bows or other ranged weapons, became a Heroic Spirit of Archer.

If you perform a true name release, it will cause damage to the surroundings by "creating a finite/simulated spatial fault".

Although it's a Noble Phantasm that combines offense and defense, it consumes a huge amount of mana. Because it depletes mana very quickly, you need to pay attention to your remaining mana. In particular, the mana consumption is extremely high when releasing your True Name.

So Tesla tried his best to gather magic power along the way, but even so, he couldn't reach the full power standard. However, the lightning waves he released still shook the surrounding space as if it was about to shatter.

"Damn it—!" Nian Zhuo gritted his teeth, and the flames in his palm finally condensed into a ferocious red dragon's head, charging towards the lightning waves with an aura that seemed to burn everything.

"Dragon Breath—!"

A bright red magic circle appeared behind him, and Nian Zhuo stretched his palm forward.

The crimson dragon's flames collided with the lightning waves, creating several cracks in the surrounding space.

Like glass, it was constantly attacked by the collision of the flames and lightning, and the space emitted a mournful cry of being unable to bear the burden.

"Ugh—!" With a muffled groan, Nian Zhuo naturally felt the heavy sensation emanating from the lightning.

"—!" Tesla gritted his teeth, his hands trembling slightly. "I didn't expect... the opponent's flames to have such power...?"

The fire dragon opened its mouth, tearing at the lightning, while waves of lightning relentlessly ravaged its body.

Compared to Tesla, who had to charge up for a long time but still lacked magic power, Nianzhuo's Wizard Armor could continuously convert the surrounding ·1 magic power into Nianzhuo's own power to enhance his attack. Therefore, this time Nianzhuo actually had the upper hand in terms of Noble Phantasm.

"What—!" Bathed in lightning, Tesla's pale green eyes widened as he saw the Flame Dragon actually swallowing his lightning. "It...it's actually absorbing my magic power! To strengthen itself?!"

In the end, it was the waves of lightning that were the first to lose momentum, being evaporated and devoured by the flames surrounding the fire dragon, which continuously transformed them into its own magic power.

Is he going to lose? Is he going to die? Tesla watched the lightning being swallowed up, his mind racing.

"—How is that possible!" His consciousness returned to reality, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, simultaneously increasing the injection of magic power. "Ugh!"

Tesla's magic power was rapidly decreasing, and a feeling of weakness was emerging from his limbs. However, he persisted, releasing lightning to collide with the approaching fire dragon.

I want to win! I must win!

I'm a genius! A scientist who has changed people's lives!

I am still—a pioneer of the stars!

So, this little difficulty? Watch me overcome it with ease!

A resolute look appeared in his eyes, and a few silver lights gathered in his hands.

Star Pioneers: EX

Special skills are bestowed upon heroes who become turning points in human history.

Transform all difficulties and challenges from being "impossible" into "possible."

Nikola Tesla, who brought back the power that once existed only in the Age of Gods to the earth, thus advancing the world's overall civilization by a great margin, possessed a high level of this skill.

Turning the impossible into the possible! That's what Tesla is aiming to achieve now!

"What—!" Nian Zhuo was shocked to discover that the opponent's lightning was actually slowly increasing in intensity!

Not only that, the speed at which his own flames devoured the opponent's magic power also slowed down, and the flames were actually being gradually repelled by the opponent's lightning!

"What is this—" Nian Zhuo trembled as he retreated, feeling the heavy pressure on his hands. "Oh no—I can't hold on anymore—!"

"My lightning! It will not be defeated just like that!" Tesla poured his last bit of strength into his attack, and the lightning he released turned completely white, transforming into an invincible spike.

It pierced the fire dragon's brow, completely shattering the turbid flames of thought.

Then, as Nian Zhuo's eyes gradually shrank, white lightning passed through his body.

"Pfft—Ah—!" The tingling sensation of electricity running through his body came instantly. The bright red magic circle behind Nian Zhuo was also shattered by the lightning. His body fell uncontrollably in front of him. Fortunately, he still had some strength in his arms, which supported him and prevented him from falling directly to the ground.

“…Ugh.” Looking behind them, Mash and Mordred had both collapsed to the ground because of the white lightning, their limbs seemingly powerless.

"Huff... huff..." Nianzhuo heard footsteps coming from in front of him and raised his head.

Tesla was panting heavily; he wasn't in very good shape either, clutching one of his arms as he looked at Nian Zhuo in front of him.

however--

Nian Zhuo, however, discovered that a thick magical mist was rising again around Tesla's body.

All efforts were lost.

“…Tell me your name, warrior.” Tesla looked down at Nian Zhuo and spoke slowly.

Golden lightning that countered the world-destroying thunder, and a fox spirit priestess who seemed to be just there to freeload!

Looking down at Nianzhuo lying on the ground, Tesla asked him his name.

"Nian Zhuo." He tried to stand up, but the numbing effect of the electric current on his body had not yet ended. "Just... a warrior."

"Hmm—" Mashu looked at the increasingly dense demonic mist around Tesla's body and whispered to Mary on the communication device, "Director Mary, the demonic mist on the enemy's body has started to condense again... but now Mr. Nianzhuo and I... are both paralyzed by the enemy's Noble Phantasm and cannot move for the time being—!"

“Tsk—” Mary anxiously watched the light spot representing Nian Zhuo and the others on the screen, as well as the increasingly close reaction representing Tesla, fearing that one of those light spots would disappear from the screen at any moment.

Fortunately, Tesla's Noble Phantasm True Name Release also resulted in a lack of his own magical power. Although the magical mist of the entire London provided him with magical power, the strength of the warrior in front of him made him dare not take any risks.

Moreover, his scholarly instincts were still influencing him, causing him to abandon the idea of ​​continuing his attack.

“Nen-chou… huh. I’ll remember that.” Tesla nodded, then turned to look at the anxious Ritsuka who had rushed out. “And you, the only human present… or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call you the only Master?”

"Damn it..." Mordred tried to move her paralyzed body, but her powerless arms still wouldn't lift. "This damned demonic mist—it can still absorb magic even from this far away?! Even if I wanted to unleash my Noble Phantasm to kill that guy right now, I couldn't..."

"...Fujimaru Ritsuka." Ritsuka could only glare at him angrily as she gave him her name.

“Fujimaru Ritsuka… Ah. I see.” Nodding to indicate that he had heard, Tesla turned around, walked a short distance, and looked at Nencho and the others lying on the ground. He then opened his arms with pleasure. “Although you are very skilled in battle, this is where it ends!”

Seeing their resentful looks only intensified my sense of pleasure.

"Hahaha... Hahahaha! Pathetic spirits of the old era!" He turned around with his hands behind his back and headed towards the other side of the street. "That's enough for this bit of fun. This genius is off to the skies over London."

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and turned around with a puzzled expression.

“…Ah, um. However, my temper has become a bit strange lately.” He walked up to Ritsuka, looking at the girl who refused to back down in front of him. “I was originally a Heroic Spirit who loved humans, so I’ll tell you about this human.”

He turned around, his light green but sparkling eyes fixed on a certain direction, a slight smile on his face.
