“Oh. The blessing of the goddess… that is truly…” Hearing Stheno’s words, His Majesty Nero was completely convinced that there must be unparalleled treasures deep within that cave.

"How interesting. Could it be the Holy Grail or something?" Even the doctor was captivated by the treasures in the cave after hearing Stheno's words.

Nianzhuo tapped his head with a heavy expression before recovering from the dizziness.

"This is really..." Nian Zhuo almost fell for it. His intuition told him that the woman in front of him had a captivating magic in her words.

A captivating voice: A naturally beautiful voice.

It can be used as a charm magic for men, but it can be defended against if one has magic resistance, and its effect can be reduced if one does not have magic resistance but has the intention to resist.

“That contradicts the information from Caesar…” Mash recalled the information provided by Caesar during the previous battle and raised a question, “Although the possibility isn’t zero…”

"I don't care what kind of treasure it is, I'm quite the benefactor." With a confident look on his face, Nero felt that the treasure in that cave was already within his grasp.

"Then it's settled! Let's head to the cave now!" Dr. Roman finally made the final decision.

"It seems I still need to hone my magic resistance..." Nian Zhuo was left alone, tapping his head.

When he came to his senses, he suddenly realized that everyone was already far away.

Well, actually he just doesn't want to admit it, but he's a little... scared of those underground things.

After all, he hadn't dared to watch horror movies, videos, or read horror novels before.

Walking through the dimly lit cave, he was honestly a little flustered.

After all, they have the drive watch in their hands, so they're not going to run away because they're scared or something might happen, right?

"Ugh..." Nero lifted the hem of her skirt, feeling a bit nauseous. "It's so dark...and damp..."

“This isn’t exactly a pleasant place,” Mashu said, looking around seriously. “And the visibility is terrible…”

"Ah..." At this moment, the beeping sound of Dr. Roman activating his communication device was so loud in the cave that it almost crushed the extra-rich soy milk trial card in Nian Zhuo's hand. {Cough cough!}

"Doctor, what's wrong?" Mashu asked, puzzled as to why the doctor had opened the communication at this moment. "Your complexion..." Then Mashu realized she couldn't see the doctor's face, so she quickly corrected herself, "No, it's your tone that sounds a bit off..."

"I've been tricked." The brief statement surprised everyone present, and the sound of the driver came from behind Mashu.

"Rider Time! Kamen Rider Zi-O!! Armor Time! Drive! Type Speed!"

The red ring enveloped Nianzhuo's figure.

"Alright, let's run!" she said righteously. "Since we've all been fooled, let's go for a run to clear our heads!"

"Um... actually, Nianzhuo, you don't need to be so scared. I was too harsh. Sorry." Even the doctor didn't expect Nianzhuo to be so cautious (fearful). He reorganized his words and said, "A large amount of magical reaction has been detected ahead."

"Huh?" Mashu was somewhat surprised.

"Although it's not a Servant..." The doctor behind the screen sounded rather helpless, "It's a monster or something. This is... being... tricked by that goddess... Aha, ahahahaha..."

A group of skeleton soldiers made a "clack-clack-clack" sound of footsteps and instantly surrounded the group.

"There's no other way, let's go!" Upon seeing that it was a real enemy, Nian Zhuo calmed down.

With the heavy acceleration activated, the skeleton soldier's movements instantly became incredibly slow.

"Self-defense! Established!"

So what exactly is a treasure?

With a kick, Nian Zhuo shattered the last skeleton soldier, then squatted down and picked up a bone, playing with it.

"Speaking of which, are the bones of these skeleton soldiers useful for anything...?" Recalling the previous world, everyone would say "Wow, there are fierce bones all over the ground" when they saw skeleton soldiers. Are these things really useful?

With a "crack," the bone in Nianzhuo's hand broke from his grip...

However, this sound seemed to be some kind of sign, and in the dark depths of the cave, the sound of bones rubbing together, "click-clack-clack," also came.

"What on earth is going on?! Is the cave full of bones?" Nero complained while gripping his fiery red greatsword, looking angry that he had been tricked.

"If it were just ordinary bones, that would be fine..." Mashu sighed, somewhat annoyed.

"A large number of reactions detected again." Dr. Roman stared intently at the light representing everyone; many more densely packed red dots of hostile reaction had appeared out of nowhere. "Here we go again! I'm afraid a lot of bones will be gushing over!"

"Ugh... Ugh!" Nero kicked at the pebbles on the ground in frustration, looking at the skeleton soldier who had emerged from the shadows not far ahead. "What kind of treasure are bones that can wield swords...!"

"It's alright. Since it's an enemy that I can see and touch, then there's no problem." Although he was also very unhappy, there was nothing to be afraid of anymore. He threw the broken bone aside and regained his confident demeanor.

"Well then, I'll go." Nian Zhuo pulled out his signal axe (I think if the author didn't let him show his face, some people would almost forget about him!), and without saying a word, he swung it down.

"Whoa!" Charging straight into the skeletal army, Nian Zhuo only needed to swing his axe and spin around, thanks to the speed boost from the heavy acceleration.

"Wow, it looks like a giant spinning top... It's spinning!" Dr. Roman was also surprised when he saw the image Mashu was sending back. "This is definitely a berserker's fighting style..."

The swung bone blades were sliced ​​horizontally by the wind whipped up by the axe, and the bodies of these skeletal soldiers shattered at the slightest touch, like glass.

"...Phew," Nian Zhuo stopped, wanting to wipe away the nonexistent sweat from his brow, only to find it covered by his mask. "I'm a little dizzy..."

After smashing the remaining skeletal soldiers that Nian Zhuo had ignored, Nero also showed a rare look of fatigue.

"Phew... I'm a little tired, I want to go back and rest..."

"Speaking of which, it seems we've unknowingly reached the deepest part of the cave during the battle." Looking at the surrounding scenery, Dr. Roman was also feeling somewhat bored. However, when he looked at the screen again, he suddenly spat out the coffee in his mouth.

"Pfft—!" He hurriedly activated his communication device. "Hello? Everyone, please be aware. There's a strange reaction ahead of you. This is magical—no, how is this possible? Could it be—"

"What is it, Doctor?" Hearing the unexpected reaction, coupled with the doctor's earlier excitement, Mashu couldn't help but wonder, "Could the Holy Grail really be here?"

"No...no, it's not the Holy Grail at all!" Dr. Roman, his hand barely able to hold the teacup, stared at the enormous red dot detected on the screen. "It's a fantasy species. While not a dragon, a powerful single-target phantom beast reaction was detected!"

"Coo coo, ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh!" The roar from the shadows was enough to stir up a wave of magic, and a strange monster slowly stepped out.

It has the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and a tail made of a python. Its breath is fire.

“This is…” Mashu looked at the huge figure that appeared not far away with some surprise.

"It's...it's huge!" Looking at the enormous body of the beast in front of him, Nero's tone suddenly changed when he saw its face. "Hmm, and that lion's face is quite cute!"

"It's a chimera, a monster from ancient Greek mythology." Watching the magic power levels rise steadily, Dr. Roman was absolutely certain. "That's not some magically synthesized creature, it's that legendary mythical beast! Why would something like that... Ah, right, could it be something prepared by that goddess?! This is a powerful opponent! Its resilience is extraordinary, you must be careful!"

"Understood, Doctor!" There was no time to think about the reason; the fantasy creature opposite them clearly wouldn't give them time to consider. Mashu quickly raised her shield to block in front of everyone.

"It's coming!" Nero knew this was not the time to find the beast cute; the flames spewed from the lion's mouth could undoubtedly burn him to ashes.

A familiar system sound rang in his mind, and a long-unseen light screen appeared in front of Nian Zhuo.

Mission: Slay the Chimera before you.

Objective: Kill or tame

Reward: Fourze watch face x1

"Heh--I've been waiting for you for a long time, Four!" Nian Zhuo said this, but he didn't dare to be careless at all. "Since this mission has appeared, it means that the enemy in front of us is no weaker than a Servant, right..."

“In that case…” He took out the Build watch, turned it, and fastened it to the driver on his waist.

"Armor Time! Best Match! Build~!!" The blue and red knight strode out from the Wheel of Time.

'War Rabbit, here we come!' The golden 'Drill Crusher' in his right hand began to spin.

"————!" Roaring, the Chimera charged towards the group, then raised one of its front paws and slammed it onto Mash's shield.

"Ugh--!" Mashu's expression tightened; the power of this Imaginary Being was indeed very strong!

However, while Chimera and Mash were locked in a stalemate, Nero leaped out from behind Mash, the flames on his sword aimed at Chimera's eyes.

"!" To Nero's surprise, the snake head on the chimera's back quickly twisted its body and blocked her way, spewing out scorching flames from its mouth.

"Tch---" Nero sighed helplessly and had no choice but to give up, his golden boots leaving a mark on the hard ground.

Mashu was already struggling to block just one of the chimera's claws, but the chimera was not only continuing to exert force, but had even raised its other claw, about to strike.

"Yo! Here I come!" With a red glow, Nian Zhuo used the rabbit bottle on the right shoulder of the Build armor to enhance his agility. The Crusher in his hand kept stirring and knocked away the other claw that the Chimera was about to strike. However, the flames on the snake's head were not so easy to deal with.

Just before it was about to erupt, a rose-like figure appeared before Nian Zhuo.

"Don't underestimate me!" The fiery red greatsword in his hand drew a perfect arc in the air, and in the next moment, it cut the flames spewed from the snake's head in half.

"Well done, Your Majesty Nero." As his figure plummeted, the red bottle on Nian Zhuo's right shoulder lit up again, and his agility increased once more.

As soon as it landed on the ground, Nianzhuo's figure transformed into a red streak of light once more.

To his surprise, after realizing that it could not match Mash in strength, the chimera actually started trying to win by speed.

The two goat hooves behind it were more useful than expected; at least Nian Zhuo's current agility was completely unable to keep up with its speed.

Not only snake heads, but also sheep heads and even lion heads began to spew flames, constantly increasing the light in this dark cave.

"Hmph, so you actually use fire..." The golden boots pounded the ground, making the crimson greatsword in Nero's hand shine even brighter. "Then let's have a contest! Let's see who shines brighter, me or your flames!"

The Aestus Estus, a weapon forged by Nero himself, is said to be an incredibly beautiful weapon forged from a meteorite that fell from the sky. The words Regnum Caelorum et Gehenna {Heaven and Hell} are engraved on the blade in Latin.

At this moment, as Emperor Nero's enthusiasm soared, the crimson greatsword erupted with unprecedented flames.

"Yah--!" Emperor Nero leaped up, his greatsword flashing like the sun as it hurtled toward the chimera's head.

All three heads turned around, and no one dared to underestimate Nero's attack. The three flames in their mouths merged into a blazing ball of light, and even the stones on the ceiling of the surrounding cave were melted by the heat wave.

The meteorite iron in Emperor Nero's hand collided with the enormous fireball, producing a series of cracking sounds.

Feeling the heat coming towards him, the primordial fire in his hand, fueled by Nero's inner passion, erupted with flames even stronger than the fireball before him.

A mythical beast from Greek mythology clashed with Nero Claudius, the fifth emperor of the Roman Empire. Ironically, it was the latter, with his human form, who extinguished the raging fire.

The fireball split in two, but Emperor Nero's clothes were also stained with many scorch marks.

"Tch--I'm out of strength now..." After slicing through that fireball, his attack was over. Exhausted, Nero could only let himself fall to the ground. "A little unwilling..."

"You win, Your Majesty Nero." Suddenly, someone caught him. He opened his eyes and saw Nen's turbid mask reflected in his emerald green eyes. "Really... to act so recklessly in human form, Your Majesty."

Nero's figure was so dazzling that even Nian Zhuo was somewhat mesmerized. Shaking the bright red bottle on his right shoulder to improve his agility, Nian Zhuo was finally able to embrace the emperor in mid-air.

"Leave the rest to us." With a kick to the stone wall, Nianzhuo quickly returned to Mashu's side, carrying His Majesty Nero.

"Ritsuka, His Majesty the Emperor is entrusting his duties to you." Nencho placed one of Nero's hands on Ritsuka's shoulder and turned to look at the figure that was gathering flames again in the same spot.

"Mash, I'm counting on you to cover me." Shaking the tank bottle on his left shoulder, Nian Zhuo continuously increased his attack power.

"Understood." Mash quickly raised her shield to cover Nencho as they rushed toward the Chimera.

"It's not over yet, Mr. Nianzhuo!" A red light suddenly appeared on his body, and feeling the increase in power, Nianzhuo turned around to look.

Ritsuka gave him emergency support, and Ritsuka smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

"You absolutely have to win!"
