Chapter 25

{Activating the noble phantom....}

"You didn't say anything the last time." Remy, whether he liked it or not, was happy with the system update. With each step he took, his body began to change shape.

"This itches a lot. Too much, actually." Remy felt an itch on top of his head, near his forehead. Horns started to emerge and grow in his hair. Something began to grow on the top of Remy's butt. Since it was already torn due to his previous use of the same noble phantom, a pair of pants grew in its place.

The spear in his hand disappeared, and the nails on his hand began to grow, at least 5 centimeters longer than usual. His eyes underwent a change, his blue eyes transformed into blood-red eyes. His face became more ferocious.

"What is this? I thought I was the only one who would look strange, but it seems not." Remy Alter was surprised. He truly, literally, turned into a demon.

"Full of grace, aren't you? There isn't much I can do since, according to the legends, some scoundrel described me this way before I started the battles." Remy didn't really like it when he used this noble phantom for the first time. But it is what it is; he wanted to try another one, but Jeanne isn't here.

"This caught me by surprise. I wasn't expecting it." Emiya blinked several times to make sure he wasn't seeing things. He wasn't expecting this to happen, but it did.

"How ironic, who would have thought a saint would end up with a demon, even if it's just because of your story that maybe you have this form. But it's still ironic, a servant of God being with a demon. However, I see that she's not suitable for it..." Jeanne Alter wanted to laugh in Jeanne's face. She even got excited just imagining it. Too bad Jeanne isn't here; otherwise, she would laugh until she cried.

Emiya looked at her for a few seconds, thinking about something, but since it's none of his business, he won't do anything. Even if he wants to defeat Jeanne Alter for what she did, whether he likes it or not, he has nothing to do with it. What he came here to do was to eliminate the threat to the world.

Remy quickly moved towards Remy Alter, who didn't even dodge. As always, it will be the same; he won't suffer anything. However, this time, he made a mistake. Remy kicked right in the middle of Remy Alter's chest, sending him flying, even though he wasn't injured.

Remy quickly reached Remy Alter before he could touch the ground. He took the spear from Remy Alter's hand, which he didn't let go of, but Remy didn't care. He felt the veins in his arms pulsating. Remy Alter wouldn't stand still, and Remy was impressed by Remy's strength in this form. Remy Alter kicked him right in the face, a kick that would be enough to at least stun him.

"What! How did that not do anything? You're not holding the spear!"

Remy Alter was shocked. He was sure he saw the color of Remy's skin shimmer when he kicked him. That intimidated Remy Alter. He had nothing but the spear and mud to help him. The legend isn't all that because this Remy is different from him.

"I may not like the way that bastard hit me, but he did a good job, Op. So, I thank him. Now, hit the ground!" Remy struck Remy Alter with all his might, sending himflying to the ground. The impact was so strong that the ground sank. Remy tried to pull the spear, but it didn't come out as he expected. Remy Alter was holding onto the spear tightly.

"Damn it! You won't take it away from me! It's the only thing I have to defeat you! I want to see how you feel being killed by your own spear! I won't lose to a copy!" Remy Alter wasn't willing to lose here. He would defeat his enemy and seek revenge. He tried to throw Remy by using his other arm to grab his leg.

However, Remy didn't fall or get thrown away as Remy Alter expected. Remy was still trying to wrest the spear from Remy Alter's hand. Remy Alter realized he couldn't win through brute force, so he made the mud from his body emerge and move toward Remy.

"Jeanne!!!!" Remy saw the perfect moment. "I'm coming, no need to shout!" Jeanne Alter used her flames to burn the mud that came out of Remy Alter. Remy Alter, seeing this happening, couldn't let it continue. He tried to release more mud, but was hindered by Jeanne's flames, which managed to contain Remy Alter's mud.

Jeanne Alter didn't stop there. She used her Noble Phantasm with all her strength, and a whirlwind of flames rose to the sky, accompanied by several iron spikes. These spikes struck Remy Alter's back, lifting him into the air. Meanwhile, Remy pulled the spear from Remy Alter's hand, trying to pry it loose.

"No!!!! I won't fall here! Damn you all!" Remy Alter felt regret for not destroying this woman when he had the chance. Now he's in trouble because of her.

Remy Alter tried to use his other arm, or rather, was going to use it, but someone grabbed it. 'You!' Remy Alter had already forgotten that there was another member fighting against him. 'Jeanne, I need your flames. Don't mind if they burn me. Remy, try to take the spear from his hand.' Emiya held Remy Alter's other arm firmly.

The mud tried to reach Emiya, but flames emerged, holding it back. 'I won't fall! We can stay here all day! Let's see who falls first!' Remy Alter was going crazy; he was sure he could stay here all day without depleting all his mana. Just the thought of it, he had more mana than before, enough to exact revenge on these guys!

"I don't expect to stay here all day, unfortunately for you. I plan on doing something more efficient than just pulling." Remy sees that he has already won this battle. He has a plan in mind, even if it's disgusting, it is still effective, as he needs to take the spear from Remy Alter's hand, but it doesn't come out normally, even though he's pulling, he has to make it slip.

"Huh?" Remy alter was confused, his eyes widened when he saw Remy puffing his cheeks as if he were trying to pull or accumulate something in his mouth. Even with his swollen mouth, Remy smiled. "No!" Remy Alter panicked, he started using the strength of his legs to support himself on the iron spikes, trying to make Remy and Emiya let go of him. However, it was in vain, they held on tight.

"Let me go! Let me go! I don't want to miss this chance!" Remy Alter shouted. The spear in Remy Alter's and Remy's hand started to glow with a red light. "He's trying to explode all of us! I can handle it, Jeanne, come behind me!" Remy instantly understood his enemy's intention. How could he not? He looked at Emiya, thinking of how to help him.

"Get that look off your face. You don't have to save me, because I guarantee you that I can withstand using this time to do what I intend." Emiya is not concerned about himself, what could happen? He'll come back even if he disappears."
