I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

It's clear that Kurokawa Kazumi has been living here for quite some time; this Rome seems to be filled with all sorts of modern elements.

Is it to make their lives more comfortable?

"They've finally arrived."

Accompanied by sound.

Ryougi Kazuya turned around and saw the person walking towards him: "You are... El-Melloi II?"

He laughed as he spoke, "Oh... what brings you here too?"

“That doesn’t matter…” El-Melloi II said, slightly opening and closing the lighter in his hand before putting it away, and holding a cigar in his hand, “I’m here to take you to the battlefield.”

"battlefield?"

“That’s right, the most suitable place for the upcoming battle between Ryougi Kazuya and Kurokawa Kazumi is the Roman Colosseum.”

“I see…” Ryougi Kazumi nodded: “But is it really okay to leave it there? This Roman Colosseum will disappear, completely.”

"Whatever, do what you can." El-Melloi II exhaled a smoke ring and said, "I'm just a guide. Of course, if you want to mess with me, I'll have no choice but to surrender. I don't think I'm a match for you."

"Oh... I don't think so. You... you must be pretty strong, right?" Ryougi Kazumi frowned and said. In the FGO FZ collaboration event, his battle record was indeed quite good.

"Indeed, even a top-tier Servant might be beyond my capabilities, but ordinary battles wouldn't even diminish your power, they might only strengthen it. Therefore, I have no choice but to rely on my only ace. Besides... this time she should be quite different from the last one..."

"You..." Ryougi Shiki looked at El-Melloi II and said, "You didn't give her any attack or defense buffs, did you?"

"And there's a critical hit."

A discerning eye! The strategist's wise advice! The strategist's command—Go!

"Cough cough..." El-Melloi II choked on his cigar, snapped it in half, threw it on the ground, and stomped on it, saying, "I don't understand what you're saying. Anyway, come with me, I'll lead the way... However, of course, only Ryougi and Mi can actually participate in the battle. This is her decision. If others want to participate... well, I can't help it. No matter how unwilling they are, I have no choice but to take action."

"Oh...you seem like a pretty interesting guy—"

Kenpachi Zaraki grinned and said, "Then, how about I fight you?"

“No need, I can fight her myself.” Ryougi Kazuya smiled and said, “Lead the way… Oh, right, of course, if Kenpachi doesn’t like him after we start fighting, he can just slash at him. For now, at least let him finish his job of leading the way.”

Chapter 1167 An Evenly Matched

Listening to Ryougi and Mi's words.

El-Melloi II's lips twitched slightly, and he turned around as if nothing had happened, saying, "Anyway, let's go this way."

"Ha... never mind, let's go."

Ryougi and Mi followed after them.

Soon we arrived at this very famous place—

"Speaking of which, did the Roman Colosseum already exist at this time?" Dr. Roman asked doubtfully over the communication. "This should be a product of a much later era."

"It wasn't there at first... but it appeared later."

Without turning his head, El-Melloi II said, "After all, she's been in this era for quite some time now..."

Even so, it wouldn't have been enough to build that Roman Colosseum, let alone anything else...

However, this is a scheme.

There wasn't much he could do in this battle, but he had already made the arrangements.

The current Roman Colosseum is very different from the real one. That is... this Roman Colosseum is a product of his Noble Phantasm, and the strength, speed, and so on of those within it will continuously decrease.

However, the person in question will not be aware of it.

Unknowingly weakening the opponent's abilities.

The surrounding walls also have good defensive capabilities, enough to withstand the aftershocks generated during the battle between the two.

certainly...

It's just the aftermath.

If two people attack the wall head-on, it probably won't take long to destroy it.

Of course... it's not that simple.

This time, Kurokawa Kazumi took out the Holy Grail and placed it underground in the Roman Colosseum, using it as a source of magic to strengthen the barrier.

In other words... nothing will happen until the Holy Grail's magic power is exhausted.

From the beginning, he intended to confine the battle to the arena and had no intention of spreading the battlefield to the entire city. However, even so, he still evacuated and retreated the citizens.

The intention was to create the impression that the entire city was being used as a battlefield, thus overshadowing the purpose of the arena.

"Buzzing..."

As the gate opened, Ryougi Kazumi smiled at the entrance and then went inside.

He saw his younger sister inside, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, doing warm-up exercises.

"Ah, brother, you're here." Kurokawa Kazumi smiled and waved to Ryougi Kazuya as he walked over. "The sudden seal really scared me... But thank you for that, otherwise I would have lost by now. After all, your Genji is just too strong."

"That's right, so you've been given a second chance at life."

On the stands, Kenpachi Zaraki, watching the two talking like that, rested his chin on his hand and said with dissatisfaction, "Tch, that's not what he said just now."

"Alright... the arena..." Ryougi Kazumi looked around the arena, taking in the surroundings... and felt a sense of...

The feeling of Joseph fighting Waum in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.

Is this something she's trying to foreshadow?

"It's a nice place, but it seems it will disappear after today...maybe it will simply disappear from history. It's a bit of a shame to think about it."

"Then, just hold back then." As Kurokawa Kazumi spoke, her stand appeared beside her, and she walked towards Ryougi Kazumi, closing the distance between them.

"impossible."

Ryougi Kazumi said with a smile, "I will take you back. Since that's the case, how could I possibly show mercy..."

Ryougi Kazuya glanced at Kurokawa Kazumi and walked towards her: "Well... it seems there's no competition involved... I thought you'd use your brain, but do you think you have a chance of winning by fighting me so directly?"

"Of course, there are!"

Kurokawa Kazumi stopped and said that the distance between the two of them was less than five meters.

Both of them clearly felt that their opponent had entered their (stand-in's) firing range!

"Oh my! Rose Lady—!"

"D4C————!"

boom----

The impact of the Stands' fists colliding with each other sent shockwaves outwards, but these shockwaves were all blocked by the walls and contained within the arena.

But this time is a little different from before.

Last time, after the two Stands collided, Ryougi Kazumi was unharmed, while Kurokawa Kazumi's arm twisted outwards, and one of her arms was completely destroyed. She then used her Stand ability to transfer the injury to Ryougi Kazumi.

But this time—

Neither of them was injured; their fists remained locked in a stalemate, and neither of them retreated.

Evenly matched!

At this moment, Kurokawa Kazumi's forces had arrived—

"I'm really surprised..." Kurokawa Kazumi said with a smile, "I originally thought that I should be stronger right now, but I didn't expect that you, even in your current weakened state, still possess strength comparable to mine—"

"Surprised? Yes... you do look surprised, but you're surprised in the wrong direction, aren't you?" Ryougi Kazumi said with a smile, "You're not surprised that my strength is no less than yours, but that your own strength has actually caught up, right? You seemed a little insecure before our fistfight... but now you're much more confident. Looks good—"

Ryougi Kazuya said with a smile, "Besides, if you want to take someone's life force, it doesn't seem like touching between Stands like this will work. Your Stand needs to touch my body to do this, right—?"

“Ah…that’s right.” Kurokawa Kazumi said, “Moreover, I’ve become stronger now, and so has my body’s endurance. I completely adapted to this power a day ago, which means—I can now completely take away all the remaining life force of yours. As soon as my Stand, Rose Lady, touches your body, the battle will be over, ending this battle with my victory—”

"How about it, brother? Until the end of the battle, don't let my Stand touch your body even once. Now that we're evenly matched, can you... do that?"

indeed...

Ryougi and Mi have now used all their strength.

I had already used it before entering this city, otherwise... I would have been in a weaker position.

She has indeed become much stronger.

Chapter 1168 Time Stops

"Of course."

Ryougi Kazumi said, "It's still ten thousand years too early for your Stand to touch me—"

"Eora—!"

"Ora—!"

bang bang-

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang——————

The clashes between the Stands were all unmistakably full-force strikes.

Strength, speed, and reaction time.

At this moment, the two can truly be described as evenly matched, with the opportunity being absolutely perfect.

but--

Ryougi and Miya are over a hundred years old, and have used their Stands countless times in battle.

They already knew every single movement of the double.

Silk--

A slight misalignment between fists, an arm pressing down, and a sudden, heavy punch landed on the Rose Lady's stomach, while another punch struck her head.
