"....."
Karna was silent.
He grasped his spear with one hand and his other hand covered his chest. He understood how strong Jeanne was, however, in his eyes, there was no doubt and he merely stared at Jeanne, contemplating about something until he had made his decision.
"It seems that you're not lying."
Karna had a skill that made him able to detect whether someone was lying or not so he could tell that Jeanne didn't give him a bluff, but told him the truth that she could defeat him.
"Your power is stronger than what I and my master have expected."
Karna had never looked away and his eyes kept staring at Jeanne.
"At first, I thought that Anti-Country Noble Phantasm should be enough to defeat you, but it seems that I have underestimated you."
When Jeanne heard such words, her expression became solemn since she had a feeling of what Karna was about to do.
There are a lot of Noble Phantasms and each hero has their own Noble Phantasm, however, each of them has their own rank and category.
In Karna's case, he owns a Kavacha and Kundala which is A rank Noble Phantasm and also an Anti-Unit type of Noble Phantasm.
The A rank on the Noble Phantasm means that this Noble Phantasm is very strong and the Anti-Unit type means that it is used on oneself or others, but it can only be used by or to one person.
Besides the Anti-Unit type of Noble Phantasm, there are a lot of others types of Noble Phantasm such as Anti-Country Noble Phantasm which is mentioned by Karna.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAs the name suggests, Anti-Country Noble Phantasm has the ability to destroy the country itself, showing how dangerous this Noble Phantasm is.
However, Jeanne let out a sigh of relief since she had heard that Karna wasn't going to use that Anti-Country Noble Phantasm, but it seemed that it was too early to let out a sigh of relief, especially after she had heard what he was going to say next.
"It seems that I can only release the true power of this spear," Karna said while looking at his spear.
"...."
Jeanne's expression turned into shock before it turned ugly.
"You...!"
After all, Jeanne knew all the details regarding Karna and she knew very well how dangerous his spear was.
Vasavi Shakti.
It is a divine spear possessed by Karna, a spear of light granted to him by the Thunder God Indra in the Mahabharata.
And as of this moment, Karna was going to release its true power!
At that very moment, it was as if the sun had descended on the earth, showing how hot the temperature was at this moment.
Karna's body turned into a dazzling red which could be seen from the horizon.
Under such a dazzling light, Karna's armor slowly disintegrated since it was one of the requirements for him to release the real power of his spear.
"STOP!!!" Jeanne shouted loudly.
However, Karna merely ignored that voice.
Seeing the light around Karna became even more dazzling, Jeanne knew that there wasn't much time and at that moment, she made her decision. She raised her holy battle flag in the air, swayed it in rotation, let the flag flutter by the wind.
Jeanne's entire body was surrounded by a powerful aura and she had prepared to use her privilege to stop Karna.
But suddenly...
*Swoosh!*
As if breaking the space itself, an arrow that was surrounded by thunder moved very fast in the direction of Karna.
Karna who was preparing his Noble Phantasm stopped when he felt the power within the arrow. His expression that had been indifferent from the beginning to the end, started to change since he felt this power was very familiar.
"This power..?!"
Karna was under a dilemma before he decided to stop his Noble Phantasm, causing the dazzling red around his body to gradually turn dim. He then used his spear to meet the arrow.
*Bang!*
The arrow changed its direction and hit the asphalt on the destroyed street.
*Crackle!* *Crackle!*
The thunder crackled around the street, causing it to scorch, even more, showing how potent this thunder was.
"That is...!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJeanne was surprised at first, but then her heart thumped since she had a feeling of who was coming. She didn't understand this feeling which caused her to have a hard time breathing, but at the same time, it was so wonderful that she wanted to jump to welcome this person directly.
In the desolate street, Jeanne and Karna could hear the sound of footsteps slowly moving in their direction.
Jeanne saw his naughty smirk which somehow caused her to snort somehow, but it couldn't hide the radiance smile on her face.
At that very moment, Jeanne also understood why Haru was very dangerous.
"......"
Haru was thinking that he had found Shinobu, however, somehow it was different from his imagination.
Haru knew that Shinobu needed to lend her body to the Ruler and knew that the identity of the ruler was Jeanne d'Arc, however, he didn't expect that there would be such a huge change on Shinobu's body.
Haru then stared at Jeanne, except for her tits which were in similar size as Shinobu, all Shinobu's features had disappeared.
Shinobu was quite short after all and her hair color was dark purple, but after Jeanne entered her body, she became taller and her hair became blonde as if she had become a different person.
However, Haru could tell instantly that Jeanne was Shinobu since it was his instinct as a harem protagonist. It might be illogical, but his power was really unreasonable after all.
Haru wanted to hug Shinobu and kiss her, but then again, he wasn't sure whether it was alright when the one in front of him was Jeanne. He felt a bit conflicted until he could feel the presence of his servant which made him feel a bit complicated since he hoped that there wouldn't be any bloodbath happening around, however, he quickly sighed in relief when he saw Karna was there since this guy could be a perfect distraction somehow.
When Haru and Jeanne met for the first time, Minamoto also quickly ran toward the direction of her master since she felt the existence of an insect!
Minamoto quickly arrived beside Haru after she had fired off her arrow, but then her expression turned into a surprise when she saw Karna.
On the other hand, Karna also felt the same when he saw Minamoto.
Haru then looked at Minamoto since he could feel the change in her emotion and somehow he understood the reason behind it.
"You...!"
"You...!"
When Minamoto and Karna showed a surprised and shock expression at the same time.
