While dealing with the Lion King's sharp (good, good) attacks, Maren managed to shout out in a spare moment, "Number One Weapon, Torture!"
However, Nero had already seen it without Nero needing to be reminded.
The immense magical power transformed into twisted crimson lightning, converging towards the red-silver greatsword held above the head.
However, the release of Noble Phantasms is not as slow as depicted in the anime, especially when the user releases the Noble Phantasm; often, only a short preparation of magical energy is required.
Mordred's move was clearly pre-planned, as she unleashed it as soon as she finished speaking.
The greatsword's form changed; the latches on both sides of the back half of the sword retracted to the base and unfolded, and the twisted crimson lightning, amplified, condensed into a massive pillar of light.
“Clarent!...BloodArthur! (A rebellion against my handsome father, a rebellion against my magnificent father!)”
.
Chapter 83 Daily Teleportation and Ma En's Hard-Hitting Light Cannon
“Clarent BloodArthur!”
The massive crimson beam of light, like a sharp sword in Mordred's hand, was swung down with tremendous force.
"Nero!"
Nero was caught off guard and was about to be hit.
Realizing that Nero had no way to defend against this attack, Maren was extremely anxious. In desperation, he used the 'Visual Space Jump,' which consumed a lot of energy and was not perfect.
Yes, that is, teleportation.
It's not once in a lifetime, but once a day; at least for now, Marx and Engels can only be released once a day.
Because this magic trick is not yet perfected, when performing a spatial jump, the user will be subjected to spatial compression and encroachment, which will cause internal injuries and damage to some magic circuits, making them temporarily ineffective.
It's roughly similar to the Heavenly Delivery Technique from Naruto; most people simply can't withstand it, and even if they don't die, they'll be severely injured.
Then Marne instantly broke free from the Lion King's clutches and arrived in front of Nero.
Nero saw the pillar of light so close at hand, then suddenly everything went dark. He realized it was Marne and cried out, "Player? What are you doing here?! That was close!"
"Marx and Engels!"
The mother, Shanshan, who was watching the show, was also startled.
Before I could think, the beam of light struck straight down.
BOMMMM!!
The beam of light struck the two people, causing a massive explosion.
After the raging wind subsided, the three people present stared blankly at the thick smoke at the center of the explosion.
The sudden change happened so fast that even Mordred, the instigator, hadn't expected it.
"This is really..."
The Lion King looked at the thick smoke and remembered how Marne had just risked his life. He fell silent for a moment.
She didn't have a good impression of Maren at first, in fact, she thought he was rather bad because he used Command Spells to sense her actions, which made her feel that Maren was too despicable.
But now, seeing Marx and Engels risking their lives to save their comrades, their heroic and fearless determination and decisiveness, she couldn't help but change her opinion of them.
'Perhaps it's just a difference in perspective; he's simply ruthless when it comes to his enemies.'
Actually, she wasn't against using certain tactics; after all, if you don't use them on the battlefield, the enemy will, and war isn't a fair and square duel.
Therefore, upon reflection, Marx and Engels' actions were not actually that excessive.
Even if it were a violation of the rules, taking Command Seals from the fallen would be a legitimate method, only prohibited by the rules. But in war, who cares about the rules?
"cough!!"
A cough could be heard from within the thick smoke.
Upon hearing this, Niang Shanshan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
This is Marx's voice, and the fact that it can still make sounds at least proves that the person is not dead.
Immediately following was Nero's voice: "Player! Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, just a few minor injuries, ouch! Be gentle! Ouch!"
As the thick smoke dissipated, the three were able to see the situation of the two people clearly.
Nero was completely unharmed, except for some dust and his hair being blown around.
On the contrary, Ma En was in a much worse state. His clothes were tattered and he was dressed like a beggar. He had more than a dozen lacerations all over his body, and his hands were red and charred.
However, these injuries are healing rapidly.
This is the skill [Regeneration: C], which greatly enhances the body's self-healing ability and speed, as well as the effect of the Noble Phantasm 'Avalon'.
Yes, after obtaining 'Avalon', Ma En sealed it into his body as a life-saving tool.
The combination of these two factors has enabled Maren to now possess self-healing abilities, even to the point of regenerating severed limbs.
So don't be fooled by his current disheveled state; this level of injury isn't serious for him, and it will heal on its own in a minute or two.
"You big idiot! Now that you know what pain is, you shouldn't have acted so impulsively. If you had just given me cover, I could have taken it down. You're completely..."
With tears in his eyes, Nero tenderly supported Marne. Seeing that Marne was truly alright, he began to lecture him.
She was really frightened just now. She never expected that Ma En would suddenly rush over and take the hit for her.
She was moved, but she didn't want Marx and Eng to do that.
This is extremely dangerous; one wrong move and you could lose your life.
However, before she could finish speaking, Ma En interrupted her, saying with a smile, "How could I bear to let you get hurt? Besides, this is the compensation I can offer."
To be honest, ever since their relationship broke through again this morning, Marne has felt quite guilty towards Nero.
Even though she got the job herself, a girl gave him everything, yet he never even made her a promise. That's really awful.
Marne disliked this feeling of guilt; he wanted to make amends to Nero as much as possible and give her the care she deserved.
Therefore, Marne did not want Nero to be harmed.
This is why he took action this time, proactively taking on the Lion King, a formidable enemy that had been a headache for Nero.
He hadn't expected Mordred to be so unethical, unleashing her Noble Phantasm without warning, which caught him off guard.
He only had time to hastily construct a Noble Phantasm-level shield and several layers of protective shields to withstand the attack, and then poured as much magic power as possible into Avalon within his body, preparing to withstand this wave of damage.
However, for some reason, the moment he was hit by the beam of light, Avalon suddenly responded and activated its active defense mode.
Although it wasn't fully activated and the range was small, it still managed to block a significant amount of damage for him after his shield and protective barrier were destroyed.
Otherwise, he would definitely be in a worse state now, half-cooked all over.
"I don't need compensation! As long as you're alright, why were you so foolish?"
Nero could no longer contain her emotions, and tears streamed down her face until she looked like a little kitten.
"Okay, okay, I'm fine now. Don't cry anymore. You'd think I was dead."
Upon seeing this, Marx and Engels quickly comforted him.
Just then, Aozaki Touko and Tohsaka Tokiomi returned.
"Marn?! What happened?! Is the tape okay?!"
When Aozaki Touko got closer and saw Ma En's miserable state, she rushed over immediately.
"Cheer up! I'll cure you right away."
Despite her panic, Aozaki Touko maintained a sliver of composure and began preparing her magic trick.
"...I'm not dead yet, it's alright, I can heal myself from this injury."
Maren offered a somewhat speechless explanation.
"Are you really alright?" Saki Touko paused, but still asked with some concern.
"Okay, I'm sure everything's alright. Instead of me, you should keep an eye on things over there."
The three of them, Gilgamesh, Mordred, and the Lion King, who had been standing aside the whole time, were facing off over there.
Actually, it was Niang Shanshan who stood in front of them, while the two people on the other side did not make a move.

Chapter 84 Sudden Change! The Things Surge Out
After confirming that Ma En was alright, Niang Shanshan immediately stopped the two to prevent them from taking advantage of the situation.
However, Mordred and the Lion King did not take advantage of the situation.
One reason was that she was moved by Marx and Engels' selfless actions and did not want to disturb their emotional exchange.
Secondly, their chivalrous moral principles prevented them from doing something so despicable.
However, there is now another reason.
Mordred and the Lion King looked at the three people bound in cocoons on the back of the giant spider beside Tokiomi Tohsaka, and immediately dared not make any rash moves, for fear that the other party would harm their Master.
Although they had practically already lost and it didn't really matter anymore, they still had a good relationship with their respective Masters, so they would still care about their Masters' safety.
So apart from Mordred being somewhat unwilling, the Lion Queen gave up quite decisively, because she had no desire to fight to begin with; she was simply fulfilling her duty to protect her Master's safety, which is also one of the responsibilities of a Servant.
Ma En naturally saw what was happening here, but he was still a little worried, so he asked Aozaki Touko to go over and help keep things under control, in case the two Servants on the other side suddenly launched an attack and tried to take back their Master.
"Ok."
Aozaki Touko also used magic to check and found that Ma En's injuries were healing rapidly and he would recover soon. She breathed a sigh of relief, responded, and turned to go over there.
Approaching the spider puppet, control the spider to grab the three people in its hands.
"So, you..."
Aozaki Touko was just about to kill herself and the two Servants to end the Holy Grail War that had injured Marne.
She was really scared just now; she thought Maren was going to die.
It's not surprising that she reacted so strongly; she was mainly worried about the prophecy.
Just as Ma En couldn't figure out why he had broken off relations with her, she also felt that Ma En wouldn't leave her over trivial matters.
Therefore, the impending end of this predestined relationship likely refers to something happening to Marx and Engels.
