Use FGO to open the second dimension

But Gilles de Rais is not as he was later, at least he is still the Marshal of France.

"Prioritize the surrounding dragons! Fire as many cannonballs as you can!"

Jill's command was very effective, and the surrounding wyverns were effectively hit.

Marisa looked at Jeanne, who had a complicated expression, and glanced at Gilles de Rais.

"Hey, do you know Joan of Arc? She seems different from the other French soldiers..."

Marisa couldn't help but scratch her head as she said this. After all, this man was not like the other French soldiers.

"Well... he was my friend before he died. During the war, he took on many of the commands. All I could do was listen to God's revelations about what to do and what not to do. Actually, I wasn't that familiar with military strategy... If it weren't for him, I'm afraid winning the war wouldn't have been so easy... Gil was my dear friend who always supported me spiritually..."

It has to be said that Gilles was somewhat tragic in this regard, because Joan of Arc only regarded him as a friend, and not as a romantic partner or anything. However, this was also a kind of satisfaction for Gilles, and it was a great honor to be Joan of Arc's friend.

"I see...it seems like he really trusts you. If he didn't, he wouldn't do this."

Marisa could see deep trust in the other person's eyes. Just seeing the Saint's flag made him stand on Jeanne's side without hesitation, helping her to disperse the surrounding wyverns, instead of choosing to be the Saint's enemy like the commander did. It was obvious that he had never forgotten Jeanne. This was truly a Jeanne's... well, crazy fan...

"Anyway, Marisa, now's the time...!"

Joan of Arc rushed forward and launched a fierce attack on Camilla. Now without the protection of the wyvern, she was exposed. As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must catch the leader first. How could she not get rid of this guy first?

Marisa raised the corners of her mouth slightly and rushed forward without hesitation. They were still fighting.

Now all we need to do is provide support from a distance, leaving the melee to Jeanne and the long-range to Marisa.

In fact, Marisa said that she can also play close combat. You know, there is a Kusanagi sword among the junk in his house.

It’s just that I didn’t descend as a Saber. If I had descended as a Saber, I would have been able to go up and play.

Camilla was forced back directly by Joan of Arc's holy flag. She couldn't help but groan in pain, and her expression was slightly distorted.

"Wow... As expected of a Judge. Even though his powers have been stripped away, he still possesses such strength...!"

"Retreat. Lancelot! Sanson!"

At this moment, Koizumi, having heard Camilla's sharp shout, looked at the berserker in front of him in surprise.

This guy was Lancelot, the martial master of his time, a master whose skills were unrivaled even by Arthur, the King of Knights... No wonder he could display such skill even in his frenzy...

Koizumi finally understood why this berserker's strength was so difficult to deal with.

Even Remlia would find it difficult to deal with... The opponent's skills are too superb, and...

Lancelot had previously conjured an iron rod wrapped in black gas, but this rod couldn't be cut by his own [Gungnir]. This is too much! It's clearly not a Noble Phantasm, yet...

However, Koizumi quickly realized that there was indeed a legend related to Lancelot. There was indeed a scene in Lancelot's adventures where the knight Philot conspired with his wife to trap Lancelot in a defenseless position. Lancelot taunted Philot, saying that such a despicable act would bring disgrace upon the knight. Philot, unconcerned, lashed out with his sword while scolding him. Naturally, Lancelot defeated him with a branch, and Lancelot finally snatched his sword and chopped off his head.

I guess this legend was later materialized as one of Lancelot's treasures.

"Lancelot, I think I've heard of him. He's the guy from the British legend of King Arthur..."

Remlia was different from Koizumi. She didn't know much about these things. She knew the more famous ones very well. King Arthur was indeed famous, and there was no doubt that Lancelot was very powerful, but Remlia had never heard of them.

"My lady, this knight's martial arts skills are unrivaled for an entire era. He is the strongest knight of the Round Table under King Arthur. His martial arts skills are even superior to those of the King of Knights. He is not the mere idiot you are talking about..."

Koizumi couldn't help but let out a wry smile as he continued to deal with Lancelot.

His strength undoubtedly made him feel very difficult to deal with, and if he continued to fight like this, he would only be at a disadvantage.

Because Koizumi realized that the other party's skills were superior to his own.

At the beginning, with Joan of Arc's help, he was able to suppress the opponent, but now it has become a one-on-one fight, who can withstand it?

Remlia's eyes lit up slightly, and the next moment [Gungnir] gathered in her hands. After a sonic boom, Remlia walked towards Lancelot in front of her. At the same time, [Gungnir] in her hand flashed with cold light and stabbed towards the opponent.

At this moment, Sanson had already withdrawn and came to Camilla's side, but Lancelot——

Lancelot had no intention of withdrawing, and instead the fight with Koizumi intensified.

However, it can be felt that the other party's target has always been Joan of Arc, and it seems that he only wants to kill Joan of Arc.

"...It seems that Joan of Arc touched a nerve in him." Samson said slowly.

"What should I do, Camilla? It's not easy to communicate with him, you know?"

Samson was summoned together with him, so he certainly knew how difficult it was to communicate with the other party.

"... Let's retreat. There's no need for us to bother with the mad Black Knight." Camilla curled her lips and said slowly.

"Lancelot. Just stall for time. Until the flame of your life burns out...!"

Camilla sneered. Joan of Arc was about to step forward to stop her, but was interrupted by a roar from behind.

"...Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Lancelot's power suddenly increased, knocking Koizumi and Remlia back.

It was that sword... and his own frenzied power... Koizumi instantly realized the source of the other party's increased power.

If I'm not mistaken, the Noble Phantasm in the opponent's hand has the power to increase the value of his own ability parameters...

The next moment, Lancelot rushed towards Joan of Arc, shouting loudly.

"Arrrthurrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Well! The reason he was pestering Joan of Arc was revealed. It was undoubtedly because Joan of Arc looked like King Arthur...

Koizumi, who had met King Arthur, knew that Jeanne d'Arc and King Arthur did look quite similar... except for certain parts...

Chapter 294 Curse

Of course, Koizumi was joking when he said this. He believed that even if Joan of Arc looked like King Arthur, Lancelot would never make a mistake. But since Lancelot mistook Joan of Arc for King Arthur, it meant one thing: in Lancelot's eyes, Joan of Arc and King Arthur were very similar. This similarity was not in appearance, but in soul. Both of them possessed noble souls.

Realizing this, Koizumi slowly explains to Jeanne and helps her deal with Lancelot.

Lancelot is indeed very strong, but he can't hold on for long when surrounded by a group of people.

Look, Mary, Mozart, Mash, Remlia, Akame, Kurome, Seleu, Koizumi and Jeanne are besieging Lancelot together. With eight servants and one who can match the fighting power of the servants, such fighting power is enough to defeat Lancelot directly.

"...A...A...Arthur..." Lancelot was still muttering King Arthur when he turned into photons.

Joan of Arc couldn't help but sigh slightly, "I'm Joan of Arc, unfortunately. I'm not the King Arthur you're looking for."

Koizumi couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed Lancelot had always been obsessed with King Arthur... the man who had done wrong in the past.

"King...ah...I...please..." Lancelot continued as if he didn't hear Joan of Arc's words.

"..." Joan of Arc fell silent for a while. At this moment, she didn't know what to say.

"Miss Jeanne, let's go." Seeing Lancelot disappear, Mash sighed slightly, then said slowly.

"Yeah!" Joan of Arc nodded silently and was about to leave when -

"Joan of Arc! Please stay!" Gilles hurriedly called out to Joan of Arc, with deep respect and guilt on his face.

"You are the true Jeanne d'Arc! Not the Dragon Witch, but a true Saint...!"

Jeanne was silent for a moment, ignoring Jill and silently following Koizumi and the others.

Seeing that Joan of Arc didn't say anything, Marie couldn't help but show a hint of doubt.

"...You won't answer him?"

"If I answer, it will put Jill in a very bad situation. At this stage, we should not need to ask them for help. Most importantly, the hatred of my former comrades is even more unbearable."

Jeanne chuckled bitterly and shook her head silently.

Mary couldn't help but sigh helplessly, but didn't say anything. She just followed Koizumi away silently.

"Marshal. What happened just now was..." The commander came to Jill's side with a look of confusion on his face.

"I don't know. Even though I don't know... let's re-investigate the 'Dragon Witch'."

As he spoke, a solemn expression appeared on Gilles' face. He watched Joan of Arc's departure with his eyes, and began to mutter to himself, "Was it really Joan of Arc who killed Charles VII? Or was it a wicked imposter? Or... are there two Joans of Arc in this world?"

----

"...This seems to be an abandoned fortress. Let's rest here for a while."

Mashu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, her eyes turned to Koizumi. Koizumi's sensing ability was very strong, so he should be able to detect whether there were any enemies around. Compared to Dr. Roman, Mashu thought Koizumi was more reliable.

Koizumi understood what Mashu meant and nodded silently, while turning his gaze towards Akame and Kurome.

"Akatō and Heitong, you two go explore the area and see if there's anything wrong here."

Akame and Kurome nodded silently and hurriedly walked towards the outside of the fortress. As assassins who had served in the Imperial Assassination Corps and [NIGHTRAID], the two were very familiar with this kind of reconnaissance.

Furthermore, Akame and Kurome were very happy to help Koizumi, so—

The red and black pupils suddenly turned into a shadow and disappeared in front of everyone, as if returning to his past assassination life.

"How is Siegfried's injury?" Joan of Arc looked at Mary beside her and asked.

"My Noble Phantasm can provide some healing effect. However, it seems to have no effect on his injuries."

Mary couldn't help showing a look of distress.

Koizumi glanced at the injuries on Siegfried's body, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.

He could feel that it was not an ordinary wound, but a power with the breath of curse. He was afraid that even the great fairy's treasure - [Breeze Prayer] would be of no use. After all, [Breeze Prayer] is used to heal, not to cure curses... This kind of curse cannot be cured by [Breeze Prayer].

In the face of this kind of curse, perhaps only the saint's baptismal chant can be of use.

"I'm afraid my [Breeze Prayer] won't be of any use. Although [Breeze Prayer] is for healing, the wound on Siegfried's body is not an ordinary wound. It also contains the power of a curse. [Breeze Prayer] can't break the curse. This is also a very frustrating thing..." Koizumi couldn't help but laugh bitterly and shook his head.

"Why are you in that city?" Joan of Arc frowned slightly and couldn't help asking.

"I seem to have been summoned relatively early. When I was wandering around alone without a Master... I happened to see the city being attacked." Siegfried answered while recalling the past.

"Just go and help?" Mary said with a faint smile. It was easy to foresee what the other party would do.

"Hmm. ...Although I'm no longer the same person I was in life, as long as I have this fantasy sword, I can always find a way to deal with it. However, I'm simply unable to withstand the siege launched by multiple Servants... However, one of them has hidden me in the castle. I can't heal my wounds, nor can I seek help. I can only wait like this."

"Is the woman who controls the dragon the one helping you?" Mashu asked quickly.

"Dragon...? No, that's a turtle... No, it's a dragon... a dragon turtle... Now that you mention it... I see, that creature might also be a dragon..." As he said this, a thoughtful look appeared on Siegfried's face.

The image of Tarasque emerged in his mind, and he began to speculate.

Upon hearing this, Koizumi was speechless. It seemed to be true... After all, the Tarasque's carapace truly did resemble a tortoise shell. What was the difference between a dragon like this and a tortoise...?

No wonder even the dragon slayer thought it was a turtle...

By the way, could the Tarasque also have turtle blood in it? Otherwise, why is its shell so hard...

Hmm, that's very possible... Koizumi couldn't help but nod in agreement.

Chapter 295: Using Three Command Spells Simultaneously

"Jeanne, if I remember correctly, you should know the baptismal chant... I think it should be no problem for you to take care of Siegfried's curse..." Koizumi turned his eyes to Jeanne, a hint of doubt flickering in his eyes.

"...No. I've tried, but my own strength isn't enough." Jeanne shook her head, a grimace on her face. "Siegfried has been cursed with several things... It's a miracle he's still alive. To remove all the curses from him, we need a saint."

Koizumi's brows furrowed slightly. If a Saint Servant could do this, then... could a Miko Servant do it?

If I remember correctly, Reimu's power can also remove the curse. After all, Reimu is also a powerful shrine maiden.

With this thought, Koizumi cast his eyes towards Jeanne beside him. After all, it was not certain that a Saint Servant could be found right now.

Even if there really are Saint Servant's out there somewhere, it would still be very difficult to find them.

Besides, France is so big that if we really want to find it, it will take until next year. What's more, we don't know whether Jeanne d'Arc Alter will get rid of the saint servant in advance, so it's better to let Reimu try it first.

"Jeanne, could a powerful miko servant lift this curse?"

Jeanne was slightly taken aback by Koizumi's words. A shrine maiden servant... Could it be that Koizumi had other servants following him?

This is not impossible. After all, from what Koizumi said before, it seems that there are other servants around him.

Forget it, this isn’t the time to think about these things. The key point is to resolve the curse on Siegfried.

"I'm not sure if Japanese spells can work against this curse. After all, Japanese spells are based on different principles than Western magic, so this curse might not be dispelled by Japanese spells... But it doesn't hurt to give it a try..."

Joan of Arc also wanted to give it a try. After all, she was in great danger. If Siegfried was not there, there would have to be certain casualties before Fafnir could be killed. Of course, this was only a possibility, and the probability was not high.

So now, if possible, you should try every method. If you don’t try, how will you know if it doesn’t work?

Thinking of this, Jeanne turned her gaze towards Koizumi, a gleam of brilliance flickering in her eyes.

"Lord Koizumi, do you have a very powerful Oriental Miko Servant by your side?"

Before Koizumi could reply, Marisa stood up, a smile playing on her face, and quickly spoke.

"Of course! Reimu is the most powerful shrine maiden in Gensokyo! She's also the one I, Marisa, will definitely surpass!"

Of course, after Marisa spoke, Remlia ruthlessly finished off the opponent.
