Chapter 1382 Change 1
*Clang!*
The sound of metal collision was heard and a shockwave was produced from it, causing debris, dust, sand, etc to scatter away.
Karna sent a blow to Jeanne by using his spear, however, Jeanne quickly blocked Karna's attack by using her holy battle flag which she summoned in a second.
At that very moment, Jeanne's appearance started to change, her casual clothes transformed into a battle dress with armor woven from Magical Energy.
On the other hand, the holy battle flag on her hand was the weapon that she always used during her life. On the tip of it, there was a spear-point that could be used to strike the enemy.
Grasping the holy battle flag in her hands, Jeanne quickly distanced herself from Karna after she had blocked his attack.
"Stop! Lancer of Red!"
However, Karna wouldn't stop his attack no matter what!
Karna's spear and body were covered in a fire, staring at Jeanne who was looking at him with a confused expression, however, he didn't give her a chance to think and directly attacked her by galloping toward her.
It might be because Karna was the charioteer during his life, so when he moved, his movement was similar to a chariot that was ready to obliterate everything.
However, the pressure didn't only come from Karna, but also from the spear that was wielded by him.
The spear was so special that it gave off a divine-like aura.
Combined with this spear and the killing intent which was released by Karna, anyone would think that this servant was very fearsome.
On the other hand, Jeanne gritted her teeth, trying to stop Karna since she didn't want to fight. However, she hastily met Karna's spear by using her holy battle flag.
There was a collision between the two weapons and the impact was even stronger than before.
Even if his attack was blocked, Karna didn't show a change of emotion and only attacked Jeanne relentlessly without giving her a chance to breathe.
Even if Jeanne was a saint, there was no way that she would let herself be killed by a servant, especially when she hadn't completed her duty as the Ruler of this Holy Grail war.
"Why have you attacked me? Stop this in an instant! There's no gain even if you have killed me!"
After all, Jeanne wasn't a servant that was summoned by a Master, but rather she was summoned by the Holy Grail to supervise the Holy Grail so no one would break the rules, so even if someone killed her, no one would gain anything from her.
In other words, Jeanne was a referee.
Even if players attacked the referee, there was nothing that could be gained, or rather they would receive a penalty instead.
"This is the last warning!"
Jeanne increased her power and swept the holy battle flag in her hand, causing Karna to distance himself since he could feel the power on Jeanne had increased.
"If you don't stop, then I will use my rights as a Ruler to make you withdraw from Holy Grail war!"
Jeanne didn't make a joke and said those words with serious expressions. It might sound domineering, but she had a right to do so. Even in soccer, the referee could give a player a red card to make them retire from the match so did she also has a right to make any servants or masters who broke the rules retire from the Holy Grail war.
If Jeanne really used her right to make Karna retire, then without a doubt the Red Faction would be a disadvantage and without doubt, the Red Faction would be troubled when they fought against the Black Faction, however…
"It is useless no matter what you're going to say to me, Ruler."
Karna stared at Jeanne and even under the threat of Jeanne, there was hesitation or frustration on his face. Only calm and indifferent emotion was written on his face.
"I don't have any wishes for the Holy Grail and I have decided to kill you under Master's order since Master has told me to kill you, then I will kill you."
"……"
Jeanne was speechless, but there was nothing that she could say at that moment. However, she understood Karna's meaning since, in Karna's words, he told her that he didn't care about anything else and all he did was follow his master's order.
"You're free to use your privilege as a Ruler to make me retire from this Holy Grail war, however…"
The aura around Karna started to change and it was as if the temperature in the surrounding area had increased several times.
"Before you do that, I will have to kill you with my Noble Phantasm!"
After Karna declared those words, he quickly arrived in front of Jeanne and slammed his spear toward her.
*Clang!*
Once again, Jeanne was thrown off several meters because of the collision impact, but her grip on her weapon was firm and there was no falter on it.
Karna didn't chase after her but raised his spear high and a raging flame was formed on the top of his spear.
The temperature of this flame was so high that it made the surrounding area tremble because of the sheer heat.
Looking at this scene, Jeanne couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Is this your answer?"
Jeanne was hoping for Karna to stop, even if the hope was small.
"It's useless to say more."
Karna wouldn't budge no matter what since it was his master's order and all he did was to follow that order until the end.
Jeanne let out a long sigh once again. She knew that it was useless but…
"Then there's no other way."
Jeanne's expression became solemn, however, she had never thought of using her privilege as a ruler to make Karna retire forcefully.
It wasn't that she didn't want to do so, but her privilege had a limit and she didn't want to use it arbitrarily.
Then there was a smile formed on her face.
"It's great that your body is great, Shinobu."
'Fufufu, there's no need to hesitate."
'Thank you.'
After saying such a word, the atmosphere around Jeanne started to change.
*BOOOOOOM!*
Jeanne released the aura which caused the ground to crack and the earth to tremble.
*Crack!*
In a moment, Jeanne suddenly appeared in front of Karna.
There was no sound, there was no aura, it was so sudden that Karna didn't have time to prepare.
Jeanne's step was very light, but at the same time, it was so dreadful.
However, as one of the strongest heroes, Karna's reaction also couldn't be underestimated since the moment Jeanne appeared in front of him, he brandished his spear and stabbed it right in the direction of Jeanne.
The speed of this stab was so fast that it was as if it cut through the space itself and the heat from the spear instantly vaporized the surrounding area.
However…
Jeanne was faster!
Jeanne howled and sent out an attack after the attack to Karna.
On the other hand, Karna, who was at the advantage before, could only be in a defensive position since the attack from Jeanne was so fierce.
Jeanne's attack was very fast, but at the same time, it was very strong, and all of them were very vicious since she didn't even hesitate to attack at the crotch of Karna which caused him to feel slightly nervous somehow.
Jeanne attacked Karna relentlessly, but suddenly her holy battle flag was shining in white light which caused anyone to feel calm when they looked at it, but in that instant, she swung her holy battle flag at Karna.
*BOOOOOOOOOOM!*
Along with the sound of loud impact, Karna's body was struck down and blown away.
