Before Akame and the others could come forward, Remlia suddenly appeared beside Koizumi and steadied him.

"As expected... Miss Remi, you're nearby..."

Koizumi's tone sounded very weak, but Remlia could hear a hint of surprise in it.

Was he eagerly hoping that he could boast about his ability to fight alone and even slay a dragon?

Remlia was silent. This idiot was just like Sakuya... Was it just because he met her earlier that he trusted her more, was he closer to her, and was he more loyal to her than to the others? This was really...

"Idiot, I never taught you that kind of desperate fighting method. Are you a fool? I don't remember your Lady Remi ever accepting a fool as a servant..." Remlia's tone was unusually arrogant, but there was also a hint of anger in it.

She was furious at Koizumi for not cherishing her own body. He was her servant, so didn't he understand that he had to live well without her master's permission? If he had been even slightly careless, if he hadn't suddenly grasped Yakumo Yukari's power, the Tarasque would have torn Koizumi in two!

Remlia is very good to the servants she recognizes, such as Sakuya Izayoi. Sometimes she won't say anything when she makes some insignificant jokes with her. Even though some of Sakuya Izayoi's self-willed behaviors may make Remlia feel a little annoyed, she will still reconcile with Sakuya Izayoi in the end.

In Remlia's view, as long as one becomes a member of the Scarlet Devil Mansion, regardless of race, they are her family.

Although there was a difference in status, there was no doubt that as long as a member of the Scarlet Devil Mansion was bullied, she would help them get justice! From this point of view, Remlia regarded everyone in the Scarlet Devil Mansion as very important.

"That's enough... I've had enough... That kind of thing... It only happened once..."

Koizumi's entire body was trembling slightly, the wounds from the Tarasque's struggles causing him to tremble in pain.

It was the first time he was injured so badly, no...it should be said the second time, the first time was with Esdeath.

Esdeath was in so much pain that time that she couldn't react because her life was killed so quickly.

If Esdeath were here, I'm afraid that this dragon would be roasted into skewers by Esdeath with an ice cone.

When Akame encounters this kind of evil dragon, she can be considered to have met an opponent, because Akame's Murasame... cannot break the defense.

This is so true...

"What happened once..." Remlia frowned slightly, a hint of confusion appeared on her face.

But she wasn't stupid, and she quickly realized what Koizumi was talking about.

Moreover, the time he and Koizumi spent together was very limited, and he could count on one hand the things that happened during that time.

The only thing that could make Koizumi feel heartbroken was probably the moment when he disappeared during Fuyuki's time.

——So this matter is so important to this kid... It seems...

Remlia couldn't help but sigh slightly. Koizumi really treated her like family.

She had clearly intended to test this bastard, but now it seemed like what a test that was. She had fought so hard to this extent, and if she still looked down on him, it would mean her standards were too high. You know, even Sakuya might not be able to break the dragon's defense just now.

"I really don't want to... helplessly watch you disappear, young lady... At least if you're going to disappear, take me with you! I want to be able to help everyone in their battle... Then it won't be me relying on you, but you relying on me! This feeling of standing behind you and watching you fight so hard... is really uncomfortable..."

Koizumi spoke these words with difficulty, and Remlia couldn't help but reveal a complicated expression upon hearing them.

Ritsuka could empathize with Koizumi's feelings. After all, she was in the same situation. If possible, she would also like to fight with Mashu and others, but the reality does not allow it.

Until now, Ritsuka could only help Mashu by being her spiritual support.

But this is not what Ritsuka wants... Ritsuka just doesn't have a BT contract like Koizumi, otherwise she would become as crazy as Koizumi in a minute, believe it or not!

Jeanne and Mashu didn't know what to say, because it was the Servants who had been fighting, and the role of the Master was relatively auxiliary. However, seeing such a Master, Jeanne couldn't help but feel a little admiration in her heart. Mashu felt the same way. At the same time, she glanced at Ritsuka. She knew in her heart that the senior also wanted to fight with them like Mr. Koizumi, but the reality did not allow it.

Mozart couldn't help but fall silent. He saw more emotions in Koizumi's eyes.

Perhaps, if I had been a little more crazy like this Master... would the situation be different...

It wasn't just Mozart who was watching more, Mary as well. She could see the feelings that Koizumi had for Remlia, perhaps the love between family members or the love between opposite sexes. Such feelings made Mary, who had always been pursuing love, feel a little envious.

"Ms. Remi, I'm not done yet... Frenzy Rider... Saint Martha... Come... our battle..."

Slowly, with everyone present stunned and Remlia's face filled with confusion, Koizumi took his first step. Scarlet light particles gradually gathered into Gungnir, the tip of the spear pointed directly at the solemn Martha before him.

Chapter 282 [Invulnerable Dragon Shield (Tarasque)]

"Although you are seriously injured, since you have said so, I will not be polite."

Martha said this while looking at Koizumi with a serious expression, the sacred staff in her hand emitting a strong magical aura.

"My admirable Master, to show my respect for you, I will not hold back at all..."

Hearing this, the corners of Koizumi's mouth curled up slightly, and his [Vampire] properties began to repair the wounds on his body.

Just as Mashu and the others were about to say something, Remlia suddenly came in front of them and stopped them.

"Go ahead and fight, but don't lose face for the Scarlet Devil Mansion... As the butler of Remlia Scarlet, the master of the Scarlet Devil Mansion... I will not let you off easily if you lose..." Remlia said with a slight smile on her lips.

Koizumi's lips curled up slightly as he nodded silently. Having already slain the dragon Tarasque, Koizumi didn't think he would lose to Martha. Having broken through himself and mastered some of the mysteries of the realm, Koizumi was now different. Although he didn't have time to digest this, at least... wouldn't actual combat be the most appropriate?

The next moment, countless light bullets shot towards the ancient spring, the magical power contained in them was extremely huge.

Anyway, the Master is Jeanne d'Arc Alter, and Jeanne d'Arc Alter has the Holy Grail, so there is no need to worry about magic power.

It would be a waste if it wasn't used, right? This is what Marda thought in her heart. If she could consume her magic power and weaken Jeanne Alter's fighting power, she would be very happy to do so. Unfortunately, she couldn't do it... So now she could only vent like this.

Facing the light bullets released by Martha, Koizumi said that this is actually an appetizer in Gensokyo.

People in Gensokyo play this every day. Marisa and the others play it this way, especially Marisa. Reimu said that she walks around Gensokyo every day looking for people to fight. If she wins, she shows off, and if she loses, she keeps fighting. After all, she can't kill people according to the rules of the spell cards.

Faced with such a guy who causes trouble for her every day, Reimu said that she is very tired.

But things are much better now. There are so many singularities for Marisa to explore. As long as she doesn't die, it's fine.

What's more, as a Heroic Spirit, there is no concept of life or death...so she doesn't need to worry about Marisa.

Faced with such a dense barrage of light bullets, Koizumi dodged them with ease, as if it were his natural instinct.

Martha was slightly surprised by this. She hadn't expected her light bullet to be of any use at all... Koizumi had dodged it so easily, as if he had done it often before. It was truly astonishing.

However, Marda was only slightly surprised. After all, this kind of evasion ability could be achieved as long as one had the corresponding skills, such as the arrow avoidance protection, which could also dodge one's own light bullets.

However, it was surprising that Koizumi, as a human, could dodge so easily.

But precisely because of this, it is admirable that one can reach such a high level of strength.

He's just a human Master. How many Masters can do what Koizumi does? The Master of the Shield Soldier over there is also worthy of others' attention, because he is the Master responsible for saving humanity. No matter who he is, if he is willing to do such a dangerous thing, it is worthy of many Servants' attention.

But the human in front of him was even more admirable, as he was willing to go to such lengths for his servant.

Even Martha couldn't help but feel a little hesitant about becoming an enemy, because...

If possible, she didn't want to fight with the person she admired, but since she had no choice but to fight, she had to use all her strength!

Because if I don't use my full strength, it would be an insult to my enemy...

Koizumi was at ease at first, but gradually he felt helpless because the opponent's attacks were too dense and widespread.

Although he could initially dodge some of the attacks by relying on his knowledge of Gensokyo's barrage attacks, Koizumi was only slightly familiar with them after all, and he wasn't a permanent resident of Gensokyo, so his ability to dodge barrage attacks was only slightly stronger.

Compared to Mashu and the others, Koizumi was only slightly more relaxed.

BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!!! ...

The light bombs blasted the area around the ancient spring into potholes, and the ground was full of scars, which was really unbearable to look at.

Koizumi said, "You used this violent method to tame the Tarasque, didn't you? Poor Tarasque, even after death, you still have to serve this violent saint. You're truly pitiful... I guess you'll be relieved if I kill you..."

Shit! Koizumi really wanted to curse. Your light bullets are so dense and spread out over such a wide area, why are you called a saint?!

Just based on your violent factor, I feel that you are totally inconsistent with the image of a saint!

Never mind. I always feel that if I take it seriously, I will lose. It's normal that the image of the Heroic Spirit is more or less different from what I imagined.

Apart from other things, the image of Mozart always gives people a very strange feeling...

Joan of Arc is relatively good. King Arthur is actually a woman, and Cu Chulainn is a sexually harassing uncle...

I always feel like if I compete with these heroic spirits, I'll be completely defeated in some way...

"God's Spear! Gungnir!"

Following Koizumi's sharp shout, a crimson aurora pierced through all the light bullets and headed straight for Martha!

Before the scarlet aurora arrived, a huge amount of magic power began to entangle Marda. Slowly, the sacred staff in Marda's hand gently touched the ground, and a strong magical wave surged out from the ground.

"——Noble Phantasm released! [Invulnerable Dragon Shield (Tarasque)]!"

As the immense magic power emerged from the ground, shields covered with spikes instantly appeared in front of Martha.

And not only that, the shield enveloped Marda in a 360-degree angle. No doubt, no matter where the attack came from, the shield would help Marda withstand the next blow. Furthermore, the element that formed this shield was the very same Tarasque carapace that Koizumi had nearly sacrificed his life for... Damn! Another high level of defense like this!

Koizumi was about to curse out loud. "I'm sure the Tarasque has this kind of defense, but you actually have a similar defensive Noble Phantasm! Are you kidding me? Don't play around like that!"

The scarlet aurora slammed heavily onto the carapace, creating waves of wind that snapped all the surrounding trees in half. Such a powerful force made Jeanne and Mashu step back slightly. The former's combat capability had dropped significantly because Jeanne Alter had taken over the Ruler class, while the latter was still a novice Servant, not only did she not remember her Servant's True Name, but she also hadn't remembered the True Name of her Noble Phantasm, so her combat capability was the weakest among all. It could be said that even Mary and Mozart could suppress Mashu. Of course, it was still very difficult to defeat Mashu.

Due to Mashu's job, she won't necessarily be at a disadvantage against any other job.

Well then! Since one move can't break your defense, then keep attacking and see how long you can hold out!

In an instant, a faint green light enveloped Koizumi.

Chapter 283 New Power

Koizumi possesses the power of all beings in Gensokyo that he has summoned. After the summoning ended, Koizumi also secretly tried to use new powers, such as the power of fairies, that is, the power of Cirno, Rumia, and the great fairy. After the experiment, Koizumi found that their power was still easy to control.

Not only is it very easy to control, but due to the increase in the power that Koizumi controls himself, the irony is that the power that Koizumi uses on Cirno and others is even more terrifying than what they can use themselves. The same ability, but because of the different strengths, the realms of use are completely different, which is really funny.

This is like Yakumo Yukari's [Realm of Being and Non-being]. Koizumi can only partially erase the power, while Yakumo Yukari can completely make it disappear. This is the difference between the two realms... Different people use the same ability, but the output is completely different.

Just like now—a faint green light enveloped Koizumi, and the next moment, a gentle breeze caressed the surroundings.

"Noble Phantasm Release—Breeze Prayer!!!!"

Mashu and the others felt the breeze blowing, and their wounds and magic power consumption began to recover at an extremely fast speed.

Suddenly, Mashu and others couldn't help but show a look of surprise. This recovery ability was simply exaggerated.

Is this Mr. Koizumi's (Sir) power? What an amazing recovery ability... Mashu and the others thought to themselves.

Remlia raised her brows slightly, and roughly guessed in her mind that this was the power of the fairy from the Mist Lake, but in Koizumi's hands, this ability was amplified. This effect was only achieved due to Koizumi's own strength.

Judging from this summoning speed, Koizumi's power will soon surpass mine...

I have to admit that if I were to face Koizumi now, it would be very difficult to completely defeat him, after all, Koizumi has many methods.

Myself, the two Reimu, Qin Xin, Yakumo Yukari, Cirno, the big fairy, Rumia, and the black and white in the sky...

This power was truly exaggerated. Once Koizumi had fully mastered it, he would be completely unable to catch up with him.

"What an amazing recovery ability! The magic power I just consumed has been restored in an instant. There is no problem in releasing another Final Spark..." Marisa said after defeating all the wyverns.

Besides the excitement, there was also a slightly complicated expression on Marisa's face.

She heard everything Koizumi said to Remlia just now, and she saw the whole scene. She had to admit that if Koizumi was fighting so hard for her, even a boyish Marisa would be a little moved.

Marisa has a boyish nature, but she is a girl after all. She is essentially human, but her profession is a magician.

Unlike Patchouli, the stay-at-home girl in Remlia's house, she is essentially no longer human and has lived for at least a hundred years. Perhaps it's because she has seen too many of them that it's not easy for her to be attracted to them. Marisa is about the same age as Reimu, only in her teens or twenties.

Even if she's boyish, that's just a matter of conduct. She's still a girl mentally... If you think of Marisa as a boy because of that, it's a bit excessive... But Koizumi thinks many of Marisa's friends probably don't really think of her as a girl... Who says her conduct is problematic?

"You're really fast, you're worthy of being a black and white mouse, your hands and feet are so nimble..."

As she spoke, Remlia showed a mocking smile, which made Marisa frown.

"Who is the black and white mouse? Remember these five words, Kirisame Marisa..."

Marisa couldn't help but feel crazy, as she always felt that Remlia deliberately didn't remember her name.

This is really too much! I have the famous name Kirisame Marisa!

However, after seeing Remlia glaring at her, the timid Marisa suddenly stopped saying a word.

There is no way. What else can I do if I really can't beat the other person? If I can't beat the other person and still fight, I'm an idiot!

Marisa, fully aware of this, silently chose to follow her heart. Actually, there is nothing shameful about it!

"So, you're not going to help? Aren't you worried about our Master getting hurt?"

Marisa tilted her head slightly to the side of Remlia and asked slowly.

The scene just now was obviously very touching, isn't it possible that this vampire was not moved at all?

Well, that's true. After all, he is a vampire. It is normal for him to be cold-blooded, isn't it?

Remlia glanced at Marisa and sneered in her heart, "Don't you think I don't know what you are thinking?"

Although she wanted to take action, she knew that if she did so rashly, it would only hurt Koizumi's pride.

In that case, let's give Koizumi a chance. Even though Koizumi was seriously injured, it doesn't mean that Koizumi can't defeat Martha. Tarasque has already been killed by Koizumi, and Martha's own strength has been greatly reduced. In this situation, Martha's methods appear to be relatively simple, and even her Noble Phantasm should have no other purpose except for defense.

After all, the Rider class itself requires a mount to maximize the power of the Noble Phantasm. Without a mount, how can the Noble Phantasm be released? As a Rider, Martha, the Tarasque itself is her Noble Phantasm...
