"What are you talking about?"

Nero looked at Manus, who was slowly approaching him, and his palms were sweating due to nervousness. Looking at the demon who kept approaching him, Nero felt a chill on his back.

"Didn't you hear clearly? I said, I want to eliminate you in order for the plan to proceed smoothly."

Before Nero could respond, Manus flew over with a long staff, and the sky filled with black flames filled Nero's vision.

"What a headache."

Nero kept dodging the fireballs approaching him. Originally, Nero wanted to use his own weapons to cut these fireballs away, but he looked at the marks on the ground.

"Corroded."

The ground, hit by the black smoke, was corroded, just like strong acid dripping on cotton.

In this case, Nero didn't want to try the power of this black flame.

"How can we defeat him like this?"

Nero looked at Manus who was already close to him, constantly dodging attacks from Manus' long staff, and from time to time avoiding attacks from the black flames.

"Humph, don't think too much, you must die."

Manus caught a flaw in Nero's body and hit Nero on the waist with his staff, causing Nero to lose his balance.

"Ugh!"

Nero's ribs seemed to have been broken by Manus's attack. Nero had to try not to move as much as possible to avoid further aggravation of the injury.

"Humph, is it not possible anymore? Just die."

Manus struck him with the big stick, and Nero could only close his eyes in despair, thinking about what he had not yet completed.

"Wait, I don't agree with people who hurt me at will." Nero heard a familiar voice and opened his eyes to see that Caesar, who had just been eliminated by Manus, was actually still alive, holding a golden sword and blocking Manu.

Sri Lanka's attack.

"Huh, what I just said was indeed a prosthesis?"

Manus looked at the panting Caesar and knew that the substitute's ability seemed to consume a lot of magic power, otherwise it would be so difficult to resist himself now.

"Although I consume a lot of magic power, there is still no problem in preventing you from harming my descendants."

Before he finished speaking, Manus hit Caesar on the shoulder with his long staff. Fortunately, he was protected by the arm guard, so he didn't suffer much damage.

"You can't even protect yourself and you still want to protect her?"

"No, I'm not alone."

Before Manus could understand this sentence, someone kicked him away from behind with great force and speed. Manus was careless and did not resist.

"uncle!"

Nero looked at the familiar figure and called his name.

"My niece, uh, has a headache."

Caligula arrived at the scene in time, but if Shirou had not been unconscious, he would have known that Caligula had become a heroic spirit and a berserker.

"Caligula, now we need to protect Nero. Although Nero is our target, Nero must be defeated by us in an upright manner, instead of being defeated by this irrational monster."

Caesar commanded Caligula, hoping that Caligula would not lose his will and only attack Nero.

"Nero, my niece, I, protect."

After hearing what Caesar said, Caligula rushed towards Manus like crazy and launched a fierce attack on Manus.

"It seems that your uncle is still on our side for the time being. Nero, now we need your help. Although our mission is to defeat you, now is not the time to decide the outcome. Let's stop your crazy subordinates first."

Nero watched Manus calmly avoid Caligula's attack, nodded, and agreed to Caesar.

"Okay, now the three of us attack together. Nero, you have to be careful. After all, his target has always been you."

Caesar and Nero join the battlefield wielding swords.

"Damn it, these three miscellaneous fish actually want to resist me, the dark one."

Manus wanted to transform back into his original form and fight with them, but using too much of his power would wake Wuyou who was still sleeping, so Manus had to resist in frustration.

"Moonlight, my power."

Caligula seemed to be doing something and kept attacking Manus at a faster speed. Every time he attacked, Manus suffered a loss.

"Enough is enough, you guys."

Manus couldn't stand it anymore and used his power to transform back into his original form. Wuyou would soon be awakened, so he had to fight quickly.

"It seems that you also have concerns, so we must resist with all our strength."

"Nero, take my sword and show me the prestige of being the next master of Rome."

Caesar threw his golden sword to Nero, holding Caesar's sword. Nero understood Caesar's thoughts and knew what Caesar expected of him.

"Recall your love for Rome and the memory of the person you love most, and the sword will respond to you."

After Caesar finished speaking, he turned into a ball of light and merged into the sword. This was Caesar's last sword.

Holding the golden sword high, Nero recalled everything he had in Rome, his people, his country, everything he had created, and his experience in Britain.

Finally, Nero remembered everything about Shirou, the mysterious man who fell from the sky, and his mysterious aura constantly attracted Nero to get closer to him. After getting to know him, he found him easy-going and friendly.

Everything he and he had gone through, Britain, the year-long chase, and everything in front of the city gate.

"Yu is the next emperor of Rome. Let the golden sword shine in response to Yu's wish."

The golden sword in his hand sensed Nero's strong feelings and desires, and shone with a distinctive sparkle.

"Damn it, don't even try to stop me!"

Manus knocked Caligula away and looked at the sword in Nero's hand, full of threats.

"You can't stop me."

"What, Wuyou, don't, I haven't completed our plan yet, don't stop me."

Manus was going crazy on the spot, as if Wuyou was desperately trying to regain his body.

"Now, Nero!"

Caesar's voice sounded inside the sword, and Nero held the golden sword high, using all his strength, shouting the incantation.

"Yu Lai, Yu Jian, Yu Conquering, the golden sword, respond to my wish and cut off everything that hinders me."

"Death to Huang!" x2

The phantoms of Nero and Caesar held golden swords and slashed at Manus.

The golden sword energy shot out from the tip of the sword, cutting the ground along the way, and the light could be seen even in the distance of Rome.

"Ahhh!"

Nero and Caesar used every ounce of strength in their bodies to pour their magic power into the sword.

"Damn it, don't try to stop me."

Manus surrounded his staff with darkness and fired a light cannon from the top of the staff in an attempt to resist Nero's attack.

"How can it be!"

Manus's light cannon was suppressed, and even if Manus increased his magic power, he could not resist Huang Zhi's advance.

"This is our power as kings."

Huang's death broke Manus's light cannon, and the power from Nero and Caesar continued to damage Manus's body.

"Is this the light?"

Manus looked at the light surrounding him and knew what he had failed.

"It's so interesting. As expected, as long as I follow you, I can see a bigger world."

Manus said to Wuyou inside his body, his consciousness slowly disintegrating.

"Forget it, my plan has been temporarily defeated by you. When I wake up from my sleep, I will come back."

"Ahhh!"

Manus suffered all the damage caused by Huang's death, after all, he still had to protect Shirou's body from being destroyed.

Waiting for all the light to disappear, leaving only a naked Shirou unconscious in the pit.

"Well done, Nero, I see the way that belongs to you."

Caesar's voice slowly weakened and finally disappeared, and the golden sword in Nero's hand also disappeared with the voice.

"Thank you, Caesar."

Nero still wanted to take Shirou back, but he had exhausted all his strength just now, and now he felt very tired even if he moved.

"Nero, I will take you back."

Caligula held Shirou in one hand, carried Nero behind him, and walked back slowly.

After Caligula left, a young man brought a man with glasses to the place where the battle had just taken place.
