Was there really nothing left?
Jeanne d'Arc bit her lip and made her decision.
Chapter 93: La Pucelle
Jeanne d'Arc took a deep breath and handed the flag to Sieg.
"Ruler, what is this?"
Sieg looked at her in confusion. What did this mean?
"Take it. I need your help."
Jeanne d'Arc looked into Sieg's eyes. Only after Sieg met her gaze and nodded did she grasp the sword sheath at her left hand with relief.
Did it really have to come to this?
To stop him, to use Heaven's Feel, to use the Third Magic to save the entire world?
"What are you trying to do?" Amakusa Shirou stared fixedly at the Noble Phantasm in Jeanne d'Arc's hand. "Have you gone mad? Are you going to use your second Noble Phantasm?"
"I don't understand. I don't understand why you are going to such lengths to stop me—why you would do this even if it destroys your Spirit Core. Why? I merely want to materialize the souls of all humanity, allowing them all to reach that realm, just like homunculi!"
Reach the realm of homunculi?
Jeanne d'Arc finally had a reason to fight.
She understood why her heart stood with the Black Faction rather than Amakusa Shirou of the Red Faction.
Jeanne d'Arc gripped the sword sheath tightly and looked at Sieg.
"Sieg, I'll leave the defense to you."
"I understand."
Sieg took the flag. That Noble Phantasm was like her incarnation.
Her record of being nearly undefeated and unscathed on the battlefield had caused the flag that had accompanied her to materialize as well.
That was—My Lord is Here.
"Amakusa Shirou. Before, I only had a vague revelation telling me to come and stop you, but I didn't know why. Now I do."
Jeanne d'Arc took another deep breath.
