I don't want to be a heroic spirit

The Copper Black Cross and the Bronze Black Cross are two of the seven recognized prestigious magic societies in Italy, and they are also sister societies with a very close and complex relationship.

Erica and Liliana are the future stars of the Copper Black Cross and the Bronze Black Cross respectively. The two have known each other since they were very young. They are playmates and also rivals who encourage each other.

Therefore, Erica was quite envious of Liliana's experience of being favored by the gods.

Therefore, Liliana knew very well that Erica had a little devil's heart hidden under her well-behaved mask, and the name "Crimson Devil" was too appropriate for Erica.

Liliana came to this town to investigate the abnormal fluctuations in the nearby cursed energy. According to speculation, if the cursed energy here continues to change like this, it is very likely that a divine beast will appear, and then the divine beast will eventually attract the god of disobedience.

Obviously, Erica was also an investigator sent by the Copper and Black Cross.

"Erica, I came here because you said you wanted to sit down and have a cold drink, but you're being too lazy, aren't you? Do you even remember that we came here on a mission?"

"I remember, of course I do, but that doesn't mean we haven't found anything yet. I think there's a good old Eastern saying about 'combining work and rest'... A proper rest will also be beneficial for the next investigation, right? Besides... we finally meet, don't you have anything you want to tell me?"

"I don't have anything to say to a fox girl like you."

Liliana showed no mercy to Erica, and her words were full of strong resistance to Erica.

"Is that so... Fine then, I won't force you."

Erica gave up decisively, and this unusual move gave Liliana a bad feeling.

Chapter 383: Love topics between girls.

"That's right! Lily."

Erica clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and the bright and charming smile on her face made Liliana's ominous premonition even stronger.

"I heard you like reading novels. What a coincidence! I like reading too. I even carry one with me to relieve my loneliness in my free time... This is a rare opportunity. Let me read to you."

Then, in front of Liliana, Erica took out a notebook that looked quite familiar to Liliana and opened it.

"Knight, come on a white horse."

"His golden hair shone with a dazzling luster in the sunlight, and his eyes, like the finest emeralds, were clear and limpid. A gentleness like autumn water and a firmness like a rock emerged from his eyes simultaneously. He possessed both the gentleness of a woman and the heroism of a man."

When Erica began to recite, Liliana's eyes widened and her cheeks began to turn red rapidly.

"The evil dragon that abducted the princess has lost its life. Its scorching crimson blood hasn't stained the knight's pure white armor. The holy sword that slew the dragon is engraved with exquisite runes, exuding a sacred and solemn aura."

"'I saved you from the clutches of evil, Princess.'

Her voice was deep and powerful, and she knelt on one knee before the princess and said, "May you be well, and your country and people will celebrate you."

"'Thank you, my knight!' The princess trembled slightly, her skirt shimmering like a blooming rose in the sunlight. The knight raised his head, his eyes fixed on her..."

“Wow! Shut up!!”

After a lot of confusion, Liliana finally got her notebook back.

Liliana's face was so red that blood was about to drip out, and she glared at Erica as if she wanted to kill her.

"Why is my notebook in your hand?!"

"Of course I took it from your hotel room. It's in the drawer compartment. It's too obvious to have so many tricks to prevent theft, isn't it?"

"Since you've seen the anti-theft magic trick, you should know that it's my privacy! You female thief!"

"What's the big deal? I can just tell you some of my private information next time... How about I tell you my measurements?"

"Why should I be interested in your measurements, you pervert!"

This is why Liliana is so repulsive to Erica... Because Liliana is too innocent and righteous while Erica is very mean, Liliana is always fooled by Erica.

So, although Erica always calls herself a lion-like beauty, Liliana thinks Erica is more like a fox.

"Speaking of which..."

Erica placed her hands on the table, her shining eyes fixed on Liliana.

"Hey, Lily, the princess in your storybook is based on you, right? Even the physical features are the same: silver hair and blue eyes... I can't believe you, Liliana, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, have such little girlish fantasies? Imagine yourself as a princess being saved by a knight or something..."

"Varied……?!"

Under Erica's teasing, Liliana's face instantly became hotter, and one could even vaguely see steam coming out of her head.

"Hey, Lily... tell me the truth, are you in love? Does the knight in this novel have a real prototype?"

"No...no! Nonsense! I don't like that person!"

Liliana shouted this very loudly, as if to cover up Erica's words, her eyes full of panic and helplessness.

It is because Liliana always has such interesting reactions that Erica enjoys teasing Liliana.

While feeling amused, Erica was now more curious.

Curious about who the other person likes.

"After all, Lily is so naive. It would be bad if she was deceived by a malicious yellow-haired guy..."

Erica couldn't help but worry about Liliana.

"Hey! Erica! Are you even listening to me? I really don't have anyone I like!"

"Yes, yes, I know..."

With one hand supporting her cheek, Erica supported her head with her hand, admiring Liliana's funny reaction while silently thinking about the person Liliana liked... At the same time, she had to be careful not to be killed by Liliana whose brain was hot and confused.

At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted the two.

"Conversations between girls...are they really more about love?"

Shocked!

Neither Erica nor Liliana... were aware of the sudden appearance of the third party!

The chair was knocked over, and Liliana and Erica subconsciously became alert.

Taking in both of their reactions, Artoria continued.

"But...are you already talking about love and stuff at such a young age? Kids these days are so precocious..."

The person in front of me clearly looked like a very young underage girl, but her words were quite mature and even... experienced.

Erica is unaware of Altria's identity and doesn't know how to react.

The main reason was that Erica had never seen what Artoria looked like. Although she had heard others describe her roughly, because Artoria's current modern dress and the aura of a god were well restrained, Erica didn't think about it that way.

Until Liliana beside her said in a trembling voice.

"God... Lord God! Why are you here?!"

"Lord God?!"

Because I had cast a magic trick beforehand to soundproof and avoid attracting attention, otherwise the cry of "Lord God" just now would have attracted many people to look over.

"You're probably here to investigate the abnormal fluctuations in magical energy, right? But you don't seem to be in a hurry, you seem quite relaxed..."

"It's good to take it easy. I have something for you to do."

The corners of Artoria's mouth curled up, and that smile did not seem gentle, but more like a mockery or a sneer.

"Please give your orders, Lord God..."

Erica stepped forward, her face full of solemnity. "As long as it's something we can do, we'll do our best to achieve it, even if it means getting our own magic club to join us."

Every beat of the heart is so clear.

My body felt so heavy that it seemed not my own.

Even though she was so nervous that she could hardly breathe, Erica still had to speak up. She couldn't let this person think she was impolite.

The Lord God asked them for help... She didn't feel honored, but terrified.

"Don't worry, it's not a difficult thing."

"Someone here is planning to summon the God of Disobedience. You don't want all the humans around here to die, do you? So evacuate everyone immediately."

After saying that, Altria left without giving the two a chance to speak.

Because Artoria guessed that after these two people learned that someone would summon the God of Disobedience, they would definitely try to stop it or let Artoria stop it.

So, instead of rejecting them at that time, it is better to just walk away before they open their mouths.

Chapter 384: Hercules who refused to obey.

Hercules.

For Altria, this person can be said to be an old acquaintance. It was this person who was summoned by Illya as a Berserker in the Fifth Holy Grail War.

She also has it in Chaldea, although she has never used it. She has Morgan and Nightingale in the Berserker class, and later she drew Swimsuit Caster, so Uncle B and Berserker are gathering dust in the warehouse.

Hercules, also known as Heracles, whose childhood name was Alcides, is the greatest hero in Greek mythology. He is the son of the god-king Zeus and Perseus' granddaughter Alcmene.

The name Hercules can be translated as "the glory of Hera", but ironically, Hera, the Queen of Heaven, hated her husband's illegitimate child very much, so she cursed Hercules and made him go crazy, forcing him to kill his child with his own hands.

In order to atone for his sins, Hercules completed twelve "impossible" tasks, which is the origin of the Servant Hercules's Noble Phantasm [Twelve Trials].

Hercules achieved many honors in his life. In addition to the Twelve Trials, Heracles also participated in the voyage of the Argonauts and the hunting of the Calydonian boar, attacked the Trojan king Laomedon, seriously injured Hades, the god of the underworld, who came to assist in the attack on Pylos, and repelled the Titans who invaded Mount Olympus.

Greek mythology has many epics and heroes, but none can be compared with Hercules.

After his death, he became one of the Olympian gods and was revered as Hercules.

Artoria was also very curious about how Guinevere would summon Hercules the Disobedient.

After handing over the task of evacuating the crowd to the magic society to which Liliana and the others belonged, Artoria returned to the place where she had previously agreed to meet with Guinevere.

Then she saw a huge figure on the sea.

Dark scales covered its entire body, and its mountain-sized body was connected to nine snake heads, with a mouth full of fangs that continuously spewed out dark green mist.

"So it's the nine-headed Hydra?"

Altria understood.

According to legend, there was a nine-headed serpent named Hydra, the daughter of Typhon, the father of monsters, and Echidna (yes, you heard it right, Hydra is a girl). Hercules tried to cut off one of its heads, but it grew two more.

Afterwards, Hercules cut off the head and burned the wound with fire to prevent it from healing. Using this method, he successfully cut off all of Hydra's heads.

There is another version that says Hercules used his divine-level archery skills to shoot nine arrows at once, smashing all of Hydra's heads.

This statement is also the origin of Uncle B's Noble Phantasm [Shooting a Hundred Heads]... In the anime, it was really cool when Lord Emiya projected Uncle B's weapon and used this move.

The characteristics of the God of Steel are "killing dragons and snakes" and "immortality". Hercules in Greek mythology first drank Hera's milk to gain immortality, and then killed the nine-headed snake Hydra. He is undoubtedly the purest God of Steel.

The God of Steel would be attracted by the breath of dragons and snakes, so Guinevere used the nine-headed serpent Hydra as a medium to try to summon the disobedient Hercules.

Hydra is a divine beast, but it is as defenseless as a fish on a chopping board. Its threatening roars are only ignored.

Dark green poisonous fog spread over the sea. Legend has it that even gods could not ignore this poison. Hercules and his teacher Chiron both died from Hydra's poison.

Fortunately, the poisonous fog was confined to a certain range by Guinevere and would not affect the surrounding area.

Guinevere is the king of the gods. In his prime, he was infinitely close to the god of disobedience. It was quite easy for him to control an ordinary divine beast.

The ceremony went on smoothly.

Feeling something in her heart, Artoria opened her red lips slightly.

"It's about time..."

Behind her, Lancelot's figure slowly emerged.

"King Arthur, I wish you great military success."

"Hmph! Only those who are my enemies need blessings. All I expect is pure crushing and destruction."

……

On the endless sea, stood a strong figure as big as a mountain.

He was over two and a half meters tall, with bulging muscles and a powerful beauty that truly transcended human form.

Its appearance is like the most perfect statue created by God, and every muscle and every drop of blood is overflowing with explosive magical power.

He was not wearing any fancy clothes, and his upper body was exposed, as if it was carved out of plaster. His white skirt armor with golden divine patterns was tied with a belt. The man also wore a leather hat made of lion skin on his head, which made his figure even more majestic.

Just by looking at his standing posture, you can tell... that the person in front of you is terrifyingly strong.
