Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

Subtitle: Lunar Classic I Beat Myself

As we all know, Lu Mingfei has a bad habit.

The more tense the situation, the more likely he is to have random thoughts.

Such as now.

Lu Mingfei relied on his full resistance and thought he could be a humanoid platinum star for once, but he didn't expect that the enemy was so experienced.

The enemy—at least as an enemy for now—is the Holy King Karl the Great.

He is the father of Europe and the epitome of this era (the Middle Ages). To describe it in the language of Japanese Chuuni comics, he has what is probably the ‘power of the times’.

Simply put, in this French singularity, Emperor Karl can have the largest number of the strongest, most unreasonable BUFFs stacked on him.

Lu Mingfei was immune to the suppression of mysterious attributes.

He responded immediately, and Lu Mingfei could clearly feel that the earth beneath his feet—that mysterious, exaggerated, and outrageous continental-level spirit base—was active.

Mystery translates into physical stress.

The weight of the 'era' that began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD and ended with the demise of the Eastern Roman Empire in 1453 AD, fell hard on Lu Mingfei's shoulders.

The fact that he hasn't fallen yet is proof of Lu Mingfei's personal strength at this time.

But Emperor Karl cannot be described by the word 'powerful'.

Within this singularity, he is an outlier, a super-standard, and a holy king whose BUFFs are superimposed to an unreasonable level. To use a game as an analogy, the number of buffs on the health bar has exceeded the upper limit that the game screen can accommodate.

(Heroic spirits, the essence of battle, are a game of stacking buffs.!)

Lu Mingfei was thinking wildly in his mind to relieve the tension in his heart, and he carried Prelati and Alta on his shoulders, trying to escape from this unreasonable pressure that even he could suppress.

——Then he appeared

Lu Mingfei has seen many unique people. For example, Chu Zihang looks like a knife, Mashu looks like an honest hamster, and Fujimaru Ritsuka looks like a little devil that escaped from the comics.

People with strong spiritual characteristics often have many strange things in their appearance and actions.

But this boy is different.

There is no particularly outstanding feature in appearance, and his handsomeness is just average. His facial features are very ordinary when taken apart, but when put together, for some reason, he looks like a 'little milk dog' that is discussed among female college students in their circle of friends. Boyfriend's temperament.

Very weird.

Perhaps it’s because he is so unique that people can tell him at a glance that he is the knight’s heroic spirit servant who appeared in the Hero Story——

But if I have to say it, I can't think of anything special about it.

A hero is composed of average elements without any characteristics.

He is like a collection of the average elements that should be possessed by various young knights described in "knight novels".

There are no features that can be pointed out immediately.

But there is no boy who is more like the "Knight Hero" character in "Knight Story" than him.

It's strange to say that when he saw the other party's face, Lu Mingfei's first reaction was to think, "Isn't the person who saved me the beautiful girl the most dramatic development?"

The young knight spoke.

"I didn't expect you to be so handsome sometimes, Astolfo."

The sound is also very hearty.

His words and deeds leave people with the impression that ‘this is what the hero of the story will do, right? 'impression.

Saying this, Lu Mingfei felt inexplicably that if he were not so bad, he might be someone like him.

He is not the ‘ideal young hero of the story’.

But ‘the protagonist of the story should be like this’.

Lu Mingfei didn't even know why a lot of such wonderful thoughts suddenly came to his mind when he saw him.

It took Lu Mingfei a moment to realize that the "Astolfo" the other party said was referring to him.

got the wrong person.

However, this also shows that the identity of the knight boy is the paladin who met Astolfo in the Paladin Story, right?

Although it is a misunderstanding.

However, considering that his current enemy is Emperor Karl, who commands the Twelve Paladins, it is great that this strange young Paladin is willing to lend a helping hand.

I hope he won't fall out once he realizes that his Astolfo appearance is just a disguise.

--But

Prelati frowned in confusion.

As someone who had met Emperor Karl before, although it was far from being acquaintance with him, because the Twelve Paladins were too active back then, they had seen the old monster who looked like him. However, Pralati couldn't recognize who this young knight was.

What made Prelaty feel even more outrageous was that along with the opponent's movement of "running on the air in the sky", twelve holy swords of different colors like neon lights danced around him.

Each of these holy swords has an independent spiritual foundation, and they have all reached the level of first-class servants.

The twelve holy swords seemed to be accompanied by twelve different kinds of protection, and it even seemed like there were twelve holy knights holding holy swords following this young man. If it weren't for the even more exaggerated BUFF Emperor Karl present, In fact, the number of BUFFs stacked on the boy's body at this time is enough to be called 'outrageous'.

"Then I must have a handsome rescue partner too!"

The young knight yelled like this, turning his unfolded twelve holy swords into a shield, blocking his body between the three of Lu Mingfei and the bombardment of faith falling from the sky.

This is too reckless.

This is crazy.

Prelati knew that perhaps the energy level of this cannon was only comparable to that of King Arthur's ordinary Holy Sword Light.

But energy is just a by-product. What is truly terrifying is the ‘faith’ and ‘doctrine’ contained in it.

In Lu Mingfei's words, this light comes with a massive amount of 'special effect damage'.

This special effect is the history called the Middle Ages, and it is also the past, present, and future of the "Cross culture" represented by the Holy King as the heroic spirit of the Holy King in the French singularity here and now.

The weight of this history even far exceeds the upper limit of Emperor Karl's spiritual base.

"Hero! Appear!"

But the boy just shouted passionately.

That figure and back seem to condense the longing of countless girls for fairy tales, symbolizing the desire of countless young people to embark on an adventure journey and establish immortal achievements.

Lu Mingfei's eyes widened.

He saw something incredible.

It's incredible, even very inconsistent.

As if the young knight ran out of a fantasy story, something like a thermometer's 'measurement strip' appeared inexplicably next to him.

Even in a mysterious world, that thing is too inconsistent. If Lu Mingfei had to use it to make a metaphor, he could only think of the remaining 'nirvana slots' of the characters he controls in fantasy game works. As long as this When the gauge is full, the character can unleash a killer move that can turn the tide of events.

But why does this kind of thing appear in reality?

Even as a heroic spirit's Noble Phantasm or skill, this form of expression is too outrageous - even more outrageous than Emperor Carl's Mobile Holy City or being able to wear COS Tony Stark's Iron Man!

It's so surreal.

However, the actual situation is that as the light of faith and the massive special effects damage contained in it hit the young knight, the weird 'nirvana slot' is also constantly accumulating!

What the hell is this?

What kind of heroic spirit is this young knight?

What is that nirvana slot?

Lu Mingfei didn't know - of course he didn't know, and all the think tanks including Prelati and Chaldea would never have thought of it.

Because this boy is a boy who does not exist in the world, a hero who does not exist in the world.

If King Arthur's sword of victory is the longing for victory of countless warriors.

So the figure of this young man is the crystallization of the imagination of all intelligent beings in European civilization since the Middle Ages about words such as 'hero', 'sacred' and 'knight'.

His existence is not so much a Heroic Spirit, but rather a 'Noble Phantasm of his own' held by another emperor that is completely independent of himself.

This is the special skill possessed by the young Saber - [Kingdom Breaking Through C]

general speaking.

When Saber feels "I'm doing something particularly cool!", Saber's skills including physical fitness, luck index, mental flexibility, protection given to companions, etc. will automatically "give additional corrections according to the needs of the current situation."

For example, if he feels that one of his companions is the sage in the team who is responsible for finding solutions, then the sage companion's mind will suddenly become flexible, and then he will suddenly and inexplicably think of a way to solve the current dilemma.

Just like the existence of Saber itself, this skill can be said to bring the word "idealism" to the extreme.

On the other hand, when Saber thinks "I'm doing something super bad!", the effect will be reversed.

So, what is handsome?

"When your companions are in danger, you must stand up!"

"How can I lag behind when my companions are so handsome!"

"I will never give up on my companions!"

"Fear is no reason to stagnate!"

"How can a hero hesitate to move forward!"

The shining brilliance of the Twelve Holy Swords even overshadowed the faith chants of the choir composed of 3,333 monks!

Shine your light.

Magic, longing, and fantasy turned into colorful lights. As Saber manipulated the Twelve Holy Swords to confront the light of faith, they continued to flow on Saber's armor and cloak!

His eyes seemed to be shining with light, shining with a charm called 'heroic vision' that transcended gender and appearance boundaries.

It is also the skill that transformed his reputation into history - [Paladin Emperor EX]

Inexplicably, Lu Mingfei suddenly felt that he was very similar to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

But Prelati could see something more.

The Demon King could tell the nature of the colored light on Saber, but it was precisely because of understanding this characteristic that Prelati was amazed.

"My Demon King, this knight is incredible. There are many people in this world who have obtained 'special defense against gods' because of the inheritance of myths and stories, but this knight is different! What he has is actually extremely rare.'Special defense against gods.' '!?"

Prelati was stunned.

Just because this skill may be the most needed power to conquer the singularity of France today.

However, in the myths and stories that have been circulated because of the praise of gods, it should be almost impossible to give birth to the power of "special defense against gods".

But he just showed up.

This is the fantasy paladin!

Responding to the yearning of young boys and girls for ‘heroes’, they have descended on this land!

The glory entangled around it, that light, is the original concept of 'holy light'.

"Look at me! Astolfo!"

The young Saber held on a bit and shouted with a laugh.

"You have worked so hard to protect those girls. As the leader of the Holy Knights, how could I be embarrassed in front of you!"

"——This kind of thing!"

With Saber's incredible ability to block the bombardment of faith that was comparable to an A-level city-defying Noble Phantasm, and gradually push back the light, the value of the [Royal Way] around Saber is also constantly rising!

"Watch me push it back!"

——Disagreement · Emergence——

[Paladin Emperor Vs Holy King Karl]

[The value of the King's Way is being accumulated.]

[Saber conducts a 'confrontation' judgment with the light of faith. If successful, the King's Path Breakthrough value will be directly filled up, and then a 'phenomenon' equivalent to a 'miracle' will be given -]

[To use a novel as an analogy, it is ‘successful pretense’, which pave the way for the subsequent story to ‘develop in a good direction’]

[Because of the special nature of Holy Knight Emperor Saber, this skill can have this effect]

[Even enough to counter the miraculous power of Saint King Karl’s ‘Mobile Holy Capital’]

[The ‘power’ of the Faith Cannon: 1D80+60=90]

[The Holy Knight Emperor's 'Defense': 1D100+80 (EX level special defense against gods) = 95] (Note: Saber once relied on this skill to forcefully eat Karna's God-killing Spear)

【95＞90】

[Thrilling victory but the kingly breakthrough value reached the critical line! 】

☆

Saber's condition is not good.

Because, after all, he is just a wild heroic spirit now, without a master to provide him with magic power.

--but

"No matter who we lose to"

He shouted, seeming to be provoking Emperor Karl the Great, who was hiding in Paris through the mobile Holy City monitor!

"——I will never lose to you!"

He did it.

With a slim advantage, he withstood this faith artillery bombardment from the Mobile Holy City!

Conditions met!

Successfully saved them from the crisis in a handsome manner in front of (people who thought they were) companions!

The value of the king's breakthrough is full!

"Show my glory! Open the way for our knights!"

The Twelve Holy Swords suddenly fell beside Lu Mingfei and others, and penetrated deeply into the earth. Lu Mingfei felt that the heavy pressure on him suddenly lightened up!

Gravity disappears - no! More than that!

The continental-level spiritual base from Emperor Karl's Noble Phantasm 'Mobile Holy Capital' that covered almost the entire French singularity was shut down by this blow!

Like Prince Cnotis in Lu Mingfei's favorite game "Final Fantasy 15", Saber fell to the ground surrounded by countless holy swords.

However, even though he had just gained an advantage, he did not slack off.

"Let's go quickly! I can only temporarily stop the operation of the 'Great Emperor's' mobile holy city. I must retreat to a safe place before the Great Emperor resumes monitoring!"

After Saber finished speaking, he didn't intend to explain anything more - it seemed that because he mistook Lu Mingfei for an acquaintance, he seemed to have acquiesced that Lu Mingfei knew what to do next, and lifted Prelati up with one hand. He stood up and hugged one of the huge holy swords.

Although Lu Mingfei didn't know the other party, at this moment, somehow, before thinking, his body acted subconsciously - he also hugged Alta and followed Saber to climb onto the sword of the same huge holy sword. On the body.

Alta blushed a little.

But there is no time to care about this at this time.

Carrying the 'passengers', the twelve holy swords were entangled with colorful light and rotated into the sky.

Lu Mingfei glanced at Martha for the last time.

Alta took one last look at Jeanne.

Because the Mobile Holy City was temporarily down for unknown reasons, they temporarily lost the ability to fly in pursuit.

Then - the twelve holy swords, like twelve meteors, suddenly moved in twelve different directions!

finally.

Deep in the clouds of the sky, the trace was lost.

Emperor Carl also lost the whereabouts of Lu Mingfei and others.

☆

The holy sword is like the broomstick of the wizards in "Harry Potter", allowing Lu Mingfei and others to experience a unique flying experience.

Then, deep in the clouds, something hidden by some kind of barrier appeared in front of Lu Mingfei.

In a word, what is displayed in front of you is a huge castle built on a floating island.

It is simply like the ‘City in the Sky’ in the minds of countless adventurers and fantasy creators.

"Isn't it surprising? Lord Astolfu, I was actually shocked myself. I didn't expect that I could have a Noble Phantasm like [My Fleeting Glory (Charle Patricius)]."

Rather than saying it is a Noble Phantasm, it is more like an aerial fortress.

If you look carefully, it is not difficult to find that there are many things like rocket nozzles at the bottom of the Sky City. I am afraid these things can be driven away.

After wandering around the sky in the sky, the eleven holy swords that Saber distributed to confuse people returned to him one after another.

After landing at a certain height,

Saber hugged Prelati and jumped down in a standard princess hug. Lu Mingfei also jumped down with Alta's expectant eyes and landed her steadily in the air. The courtyard is in the center of the garden.

There are even flower beds and fountains.

Saber elegantly placed Prelatti on the seat next to the flower bed, expertly avoiding awkward parts - such an ideal young knight living in a fantasy story!

I don’t know what he will think after knowing Prelati’s true identity.

But at least now, despite lingering fears, he still greeted Lu Mingfei warmly, with the same refreshing smile that was approachable and even made people feel a bit 'cute' for a boy.

"It scared me to death. It was such a close call. It reminded me of the adventure stories I had back then, don't you think? Mr. Astol Fu~"

Lu Mingfei: "."

Where to begin to explain what happened now?

Regarding the fact that he is not actually Astolfo.

☆

Such and such, such and such.

Lu Mingfei explained his true identity to Saber, and explained the reason why he disguised himself as Astolfo with some embarrassment.

"Master of Chaldea."

——[Saber’s ‘attitude’ towards Lu Mingfei: 1D30+70 (because she likes the Master’s character)]——

——[25+70=95]——

"The person who embarks on a journey of salvation to save everyone's future. That's awesome!"

After listening to Lu Mingfei's self-introduction, Saber's eyes shone for some reason. Lu Mingfei obviously just briefly explained his previous experiences, but Saber had just shown incredible power.

Actually looking at Lu Mingfei with extremely admiring eyes?

"That's great, that's great! That's great! You're so powerful! You obviously have no power, but you don't even need a heroic spirit, and you managed to defeat the goddess Athena, Hercules, and King Arthur one after another. Difficulties!

--too strong! so amazing! Please be sure to explain your experience to me carefully! I'm also very interested in the Chaldean thing! "

Saber was not angry at all for being deceived. Instead, her eyes shone, and she held Lu Mingfei's hands in her hands. There seemed to be light shining in her big round eyes.

"Hey, now! Tell me quickly! I'm very curious, Master! How about this? Although the identity of the leader cannot be transferred, I will let you be the deputy leader of the Holy Knights! Then we will be partners! You My adventure is also a treasure for all of us! Let me record it in the record book of the Knights!"

He looked like he was someone’s fanboy!

What the hell?

Are there any heroic spirits that are so easy to talk to?

Lu Mingfei was a little overwhelmed.

What's the main thing? This person's behavior was too close, and Lu Mingfei couldn't help but say, "Pong friend, no gay."

Despite the embarrassment, Lu Mingfei did not forget the most important issue.

"Um. You are Saber's servant, right?"

"Exactly! As Paladins, we are naturally the strongest class of Saber! Let me join you in your great adventure, Master! Rather, you must take me with you! Even if you refuse, I will persist. No one can keep up with me!"

Lu Mingfei. Lu Mingfei felt that he was a little overwhelmed.

Oh my god, isn't this too enthusiastic? Do all you paladins have this kind of personality?

However, after seeing the performance just now, it was impossible for Lu Mingfei to refuse Saber's joining. Rather, it was not until the Holy Knight Emperor appeared in front of him that Lu Mingfei felt a little bit "As a servant under the Master, it is very important." Strong words" feeling.

Thinking about it carefully, the previous situation where he, the master, always had to rush forward to fight was abnormal, right?

So the most important thing must be confirmed here.

"Saber, what's your real name?"

"Emperor Karl!"

Lu Mingfei: ".? Wait a moment, I will adjust the translation machine."

After Lu Mingfei fiddled with the translation machine, he asked the same question again.

Although the young knight looked around like a curious baby, he still told Lu Mingfei the answer truthfully.

"I am Charlemagne, the leader of the glorious Holy Knights! Yo!"

Lu Mingfei: ".?"

Wait a moment.

Because he had taken tutoring lessons before, Lu Mingfei knew that the so-called 'Karl the Great' was pronounced in German, while Charlemagne meant 'Charlie the Great', which was pronounced in French. They were essentially the same.

That is to say

"Are you Emperor Karl?"

Lu Mingfei looked a little confused when he looked at the young and enthusiastic young man in front of him who could not recognize the character of "Great Emperor" at all.

←to be continued!

By the way, in terms of setting, when Charlemagne faced Lu Mingfei’s fake Astolfo, when they met for the first time, perhaps surprisingly, he felt that he was more like Astolfo than the real Astolfo. Where's Stolfo (laughing)
