Kamen Rider Date A Live

Sensing the murderous intent directly, agitω no longer hesitated and punched ruler directly, showing no mercy whatsoever! Although if he did show mercy, it would be agitω himself who would die.

agitω's fist flew with great force, bringing strong air pressure as it attacked ruler. However, ruler neither dodged nor flinched, but instead slashed at agitω's fist with her sword, which looked no different from an ordinary rusty sword!

Surprisingly, agitω's fist did not break the rusty sword; instead, it sparked intense flames with the sword!

Now even a fool would know that Ruler's sword was no ordinary weapon. After his punch was blocked, agitω quickly jumped back, warily eyeing the seemingly ordinary rusty sword.

"You can see it now... Well then, there's no need to hide it anymore."

ruler muttered to himself, then pointed his sword at agitω and shouted.

"Heretic! You are condemned!"

The moment Ruler finished speaking, the rusty sword in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light! This light not only did not harm anyone, but also brought a sense of warmth and peace.

After the light faded, the rusty sword finally shone with its original brilliance. The hilt was a silver cross, and the blade was extremely ordinary. However, the amazing magic emanating from the sword would not make any servant underestimate it.

"Heretical? Extermination? And this sword shaped like a silver cross... So, you're a Heroic Spirit connected to the Church. Why are you attacking me? And you can sense it too, right? I possess the same divinity as you, so why are you attacking me? Could it be... that you're an anti-Church Heroic Spirit?"

agitω frowned beneath the helmet. If it really was an anti-church Heroic Spirit, it meant it might have methods to attack divinity, which would be very disadvantageous for him.

"It's alright to tell you all this, I've already reported it, haven't I? My class is Ruler, the ruler of the Holy Grail War, and a Heroic Spirit summoned by the Holy Grail itself. As for why I appeared, I already explained my reasoning, it's all because of your existence!"

The fact that ruler pointed his sword at himself made agitω feel inexplicably uncomfortable, but what ruler had just said bothered him even more.

"Because of my existence? My nature won't have much of an impact on the Holy Grail, will it?"

"I don't know either if you ask me."

ruler calmly replied to agitω with a nonsensical answer, which made agitω shout.

"what!?"

"I can't answer that question either. The Holy Grail's instruction to me is to eliminate you, but it didn't explain why. However, there are roughly two reasons why I was summoned: one is that the form of this Holy Grail War is very special, and the outcome is unknown, which means that the Holy Grail has determined that a Ruler is needed; the other is that the impact of the Holy Grail War may cause the world to be distorted."

"Although I don't know exactly what the situation is, since I have appeared and the Holy Grail has given me this instruction, I will carry it out."

"You're being way too rigid... Ruler. You're clearly an anti-church Heroic Spirit."

agitω, a modern person from another world in the future, feels somewhat helpless but also understands the somewhat old-fashioned ruler's personality.

"Anti-church? That's an insult to me! Anyway, telling you my real name won't hurt."

ruler snorted at the word "anti-church" in agitω with displeasure, and then said in a slightly angry tone.

“My name is Joan of Arc! Hearing this name, you should understand now. The word ‘anti-church’ is the greatest insult to me!”

Upon hearing Ruler's real name, agitω was utterly shocked. Joan of Arc! That's a very famous woman! Her name appears in almost every place! In Yu-Gi-Oh! cards, movies, anime, and games! It's practically impossible not to know her!

In short, you may not know the legendary King Hero, King Arthur, or King Conqueror (the Three Kings: Hey!!), but you absolutely cannot be unfamiliar with Joan of Arc! At least I, the author, have known Joan of Arc's name since I was eight years old, from the Ogre King cards…

"Joan of Arc!? You're the one who made New Orleans chicken wings... cough cough, sorry, I just ate those. Anyway, you're the French heroine who liberated Orleans from the Hundred Years' War, the Catholic saint, Joan of Arc!?"

"Although I really wanted to complain about your slip of the tongue earlier... anyway, for me, my real name isn't a very important hidden item. I am Joan of Arc."

"Now that I've said my piece, heretics, continue to face the crusade!"

Before agitω could speak again, Ruler... no, Jeanne d'Arc charged forward once more with her sword drawn. Sensing the cold light flashing on the sword, agitω dared not be careless and drew the 'Storm Halberd'. Facing the rapidly approaching silver cross sword of Jeanne d'Arc, agitω first used the halberd in short spear mode to block the sword strike, and then kicked Jeanne d'Arc with lightning speed!

But! As if she knew what agitω would do next, the moment the sword was blocked, the sword immediately reached the position of agitω's kick, blocking agitω's attack.

"What... Waaah!!"

Before Agitω could even be surprised that his sudden attack had been blocked, he thrust his short spear at Joan of Arc without thinking. But Joan of Arc seemed to have seen through all of Agitω's attack patterns. Joan of Arc's sword was already at the point where the short spear was about to strike, easily blocking the thrust and then sweeping Agitω's breastplate with her sword!

A deep, bone-chilling pain surged from the breastplate, causing agitω to cry out in shock. From the wound, an extremely sacred yet destructive energy emerged, but for some reason, it dissipated the moment it touched agitω.

Although she was sent flying in a disheveled manner, thanks to this attack, agitω and Jeanne d'Arc had managed to create some distance between themselves. agitω flicked her right hand, which held the halberd, and it finally transformed from a short spear into a full-length spear. At the same time, agitω's left hand reached for the armor that Jeanne d'Arc had just struck, only to find a horrifying wound.

Although agitω knew that his armor's defense would be weakened when he was in Storm Mode, even with the weakened defense, it would still be able to withstand some armor-piercing bullets without any problem. However, Jeanne d'Arc's sword only slashed hard, and his armor was almost cut in two, which made him even more vigilant.

"Jeanne, your movements just now weren't something you guessed through training or practice like Saber or Lancer did, were they? Could it be..."

agitω watched Joan of Arc warily, while simultaneously questioning her because of a terrible thought that flashed through his mind.

"Ah, that's right. As the ruler of the Holy Grail War, I was given all the information about all Servants by the Holy Grail, including their true names and Noble Phantasms. And you, Heretic Heroic Spirit, are the most special. Your information is not only what I just mentioned, but your fighting style was also given to me by the Holy Grail."

Joan of Arc's nonchalant reply, however, brought agitω a sense of oppressive pressure. Judging from Joan of Arc's actions just now, she wasn't lying, so in close combat, he wouldn't gain any advantage over her.

However! Even if Jeanne knows your fighting style, it doesn't mean you have no chance of winning! Even if you know, so what? From the previous exchange, agitω keenly sensed that Jeanne's stats—strength and speed—are similar to his own. The Storm Form won't give him an advantage, and the Earth Form is disadvantageous without a weapon. Therefore, the best option now is to use brute force!

Thinking of this, ripples appeared on agitω's body again, and at the same time, the core of the belt emitted a red light. Jeanne d'Arc, who knew about agitω, immediately understood what agitω wanted to do and quickly drew her sword to slash!

"Don't think about it!"

"I'm not one to take a beating either, Joan of Arc!"

Facing the swift attack of Joan of Arc, agitω shouted mockingly. In response to Joan's offensive, agitω leaped forward and thrust his halberd at her. Although Joan blocked the attack, she instinctively brushed agitω aside, realizing she had fallen into a trap! A prolonged battle was clearly disadvantageous for her!

As expected, the moment he was swept away, agitω put the halberd back into his belt, took out a military knife from his belt, and the color of his armor changed from blue to red.

"Come on! Joan of Arc! You... sigh!?"

Just after completing her transformation, agitω, brimming with confidence, declared war on Joan of Arc, only to find that, for some reason, the sword in Joan of Arc's hand had reverted to its original rusty form and fallen to the ground, and Joan of Arc herself was kneeling on the ground for some unknown reason.

"Huh!? How did it end!?"

Agitω's incredulous voice came from under the helmet.

The 130th article is about your body.

The 130th article is about your body.

At this moment, agitω is wearing red armor and holding a military knife. Moreover, if there were a master here, they would notice that agitω's ability values ​​have changed again! It retains its ability and has replaced the original wind power.

Unfortunately, there are no masters here right now, so no one knows agitω's abilities in his current state. However, for agitω right now, his first priority is to figure out why Jeanne d'Arc suddenly collapsed.

As agitω slowly approached Joan of Arc, it did not lower its guard at all, and activated its specialized perception in this form to the extreme. Within a radius of a hundred miles, everything was under agitω's surveillance.

But suddenly, for some reason, agitω lowered its guard and strode toward where Joan of Arc was. As it got closer, it could hear more clearly the strange sounds coming from Joan of Arc's stomach.

"Pfft... Pfft hahahahaha!! Joan of Arc, you, you, you... Hahahahahahahahahaha!!! I can't take it anymore!"

After confirming it completely, agitω finally couldn't help but burst into laughter. This laughter made Joan of Arc blush, and she dared not look directly at agitω.

"Haha... Joan of Arc, can't you eat properly before the battle? You're making people think you're here to be funny. If you're hungry, you can't even lift your sword. If you were facing any other Servant, you'd probably be in big trouble."

agitω casually picked up Joan of Arc's sword, brandished it a few times in front of Joan, and said with a hint of joking.

"Other Servants? You mean you don't want to kill me?"

Although she was dizzy from hunger, her basic rationality remained. Joan of Arc keenly sensed a hidden meaning in Agitω's words, but her hungry body did not allow her to engage in much mental or physical activity. Even when she saw her sword being taken away, she was powerless to take it back.

“I have no interest in killing you, but I am interested in information about the other Servants you know.”

agitω said this, and at the same time placed Jeanne d'Arc's sword into the 'Room of Light'. Even Jeanne d'Arc, as its master, couldn't summon her sword back into this independent space. While agitω couldn't use it either, there was nothing he could do; he could only accept his fate. But…

"Dream on! As the ruler of the Holy Grail War, I would never do such a thing! Either you kill me or you don't!"

"Um... is it really necessary to go to such lengths? If you don't want to tell me, fine, I don't really care. But if you were to reveal my fighting style or abilities, Rider and I would definitely be wiped out... I'm sorry, I have to survive."

Upon hearing what agitω said, alarm bells suddenly went off in Jeanne's mind! She wanted to unleash her magic and take the opportunity to escape, but at such close range, Jeanne simply didn't have enough time.

And just as I said, before Jeanne could unleash her magic, agitω suddenly grabbed her wrist, and then a surge of intense magic flowed into Jeanne's body, enveloping her spirit core.

"...Why...why did you spare my life?!"

Joan of Arc was filled with doubt and uncertainty. She could feel the scorching magical power within her body could explode at any moment, destroying her spiritual core and returning her to the Throne of Heroes. However, after surrounding her spiritual core, the scorching magical power showed no signs of explosion; instead, it began to resonate with it. This phenomenon greatly puzzled Joan of Arc.

"The reason I spared your life is because I'm interested in your body."

agitω said something so shocking that Joan of Arc screamed loudly, while her hands and feet moved wildly, trying to drive agitω away.

"Hey! Even though I didn't explain clearly, you don't have to act like this! I'm only ten...sixteen years old!"

"You hesitated when you said you were sixteen, didn't you?"

"...Wait! We've gone off on a tangent! My age isn't the point! The reason I said I'm interested in your body, to put it more clearly, is because I'm interested in the magic that makes up your body!"

"...You should have said so earlier! But it seems you know where the special magic that makes up my body comes from. Well then, let's exchange information. In return, I'll go with you. Anyway, my life is in your hands."

"Agreed, agreed, wouldn't it be better if we all valued peace? Although saying this here is undoubtedly wishful thinking. However, before exchanging information... I think you should fill your stomach first."

agitω pointed at Jeanne's stomach with a smile, deactivated her transformation, and plopped down on the ground. She took out a large pile of food and a tablecloth from her belt, placed the tablecloth on the ground, and then put the food on the tablecloth.

"Eat up, don't be shy."

No sooner had Shido finished speaking than Jeanne grabbed a piece of food with even faster hand speed than during the battle, completely disregarding her ladylike image, and wolfed it down. Surprisingly, a short while later, Jeanne's eating style immediately returned to elegance, although the speed at which she ate inexplicably reminded Shido of Tohka.

After about half an hour, Jeanne finally finished her meal. However, this scene reminded Shido of Tohka even more, because Jeanne had just eaten enough for four or five people!

(Am I going to end up raising a glutton now...? Luckily, I'm still relatively wealthy.)

Shido thought with a touch of helplessness.

"Joan of Arc, now that you've eaten and drunk your fill, let's exchange information. How exactly did you get here? Let's have a proper chat."

"Okay, I understand, I started..."
