According to the 'normal plot', after he woke up and saw the sky full of ice crystals, he should have left this place like a walking corpse, then met the patrolling Bulat, and then went to the Revolutionary Army with him, and finally returned to the Imperial Capital.
But with the prompts from things like the strange 'system attributes', 'skill bar', and even 'Noble Phantasms', those memories that he had temporarily forgotten also resurfaced. And now that the other party's Noble Phantasm had no value to him, Lancer simply came clean with the other party. But after coming clean, he encountered an even more troublesome thing.
A 'chatterbox' next to him was constantly harassing him, but no matter how Lancer attacked, it had no effect on the other party. Lancer even suspected that Caster had deliberately done this to disgust him? If not, then how twisted was this Caster's personality?
Because he had no idea whether the 'world' he was in was an illusion or something else, Lancer didn't even know if he had another body outside of this illusion. What would happen to him if that body was attacked?
But what could he do even if he was worried?
The temperature, the sense of touch, and even his body were all incredibly real, as if he had really traveled back in time to the past...
Wait a minute?! Everything was the same as before?
Suddenly, Lancer seemed to have discovered the key point. Then, he casually condensed an ice spear and fiercely pinned the Caster who was still chattering in his ear to the ground. Then, he ran wildly in a certain direction without looking back.
And Shakespeare, who originally had a face full of smiles, was stunned for a moment, and a hint of helplessness appeared on his face.
"Was I discovered so quickly?"
The noisy streets and the angry or sad expressions of the pedestrians on the roadside were incredibly real. This made Jeanne dazed, but she couldn't help but stop and want to observe carefully. But at this moment, a rough palm fiercely pushed her on the back.
"Hurry up!"
Jeanne did not resist the other party's rough behavior.
This might sound strange. How could a weak girl, who was only wearing a burlap cloth and had shackles on her hands and feet, resist at a time like this?
It was simple, if the Jeanne at this time was just an 'ordinary weak girl'.
If Lancer was hit and sensed that something was wrong due to various things that Shakespeare could not interfere with, and then guessed the answer based on various clues, then Jeanne had opened the card with the answer on it from the very beginning.
As this generation's Ruler, she had obtained the ability called 'Revelation'.
And it was precisely by using this ability that she sensed something was wrong the first time she saw this familiar scene, but she also didn't expose it, because seeing these things, she couldn't help but recall the 'past' that she had hidden deep in her heart.
And at this moment, a voice suddenly rang in Jeanne's mind.
'Miss Jeanne, are you really okay with this?'
Jeanne, who heard this voice, only smiled and shook her head, because she knew who this voice belonged to, or rather, the other party was the owner of this body, and she had only borrowed the other party's body to be able to act in this world.
And faced with the other party's question, her expression was a bit sad, but other than that, she had no more emotional fluctuations.
'It's okay. In fact, I had already prepared myself mentally at that time...'
Hearing Jeanne's answer, 'Laeticia', who had been in this body, felt incredibly strange. As a devotee, she had grown up listening to the other party's story. She had always sympathized with this 'Saint' who was finally framed and burned to death, and when she first heard the other party's voice, she even wondered if she was dreaming.
And what the other party said at this time made her feel as if she didn't know what to say.
Jeanne did not continue to speak for a moment and just watched the crowd around her with a calm gaze, until she was tied to the cross, she couldn't help but let out a sigh, because she saw a 'familiar' figure in the crowd.
The reason for saying familiar was because the other party was a 'stranger' she had met in the final stage of her life.
Having been stripped of everything, she was not even allowed to pray to the cross, and that nameless girl gave her a rough cross made of dead branches...
The executioner loudly read her 'crimes'. Those fabricated crimes and slanderous words might have once made her angry, but at this time, she was incredibly calm.
Because those who slandered her had long since turned into yellow earth and completely disappeared except for being nailed to the pillar of shame, while she had appeared in this world again as a 'Heroic Spirit'.
The dry grass beside her was lit, and the pungent smell and the pain of her body being burned made her involuntarily frown. Laeticia, whose connection to her body had been temporarily cut off by Jeanne, could not feel all of this firsthand, but looking at the constantly spitting flames, she also felt an unspeakable fear, and at this moment, Jeanne spoke again.
'Don't worry, all of this is just an 'illusion'. When these flames burn out, everything will return to normal...'
Even though her own body was being burned, she was more concerned about Laeticia's situation. After all, she knew that all of this was an 'illusion' created by Caster's Noble Phantasm. The reason it was so real was that all of this was created through their memories, so what would happen when she 'died' and all her memories were interrupted?
But just as she was silently waiting for her own 'death', something unexpected happened.
The originally dim sky suddenly became incredibly bizarre, giving people the feeling that the curtain of a movie theater was about to be torn apart. Then, in Jeanne's unbelievable gaze, the sky was actually torn apart.
But what was strange was that when the sky was torn apart, there was no sound. Instead, snowflakes suddenly began to fall from the sky, and then a long spear was seen reaching out from the gap. A few seconds later, a serious-looking Lancer also stuck his head out, but when he saw Jeanne, who was tied to the cross and being burned, he was stunned for a moment.
"Jeanne?"
"Assassin's Master?"
Lancer had originally expected to encounter Caster, but he didn't expect to meet Jeanne. But after the initial surprise, Lancer face quickly darkened.
"Caster? Do you think such a clumsy trick can fool me?"
Lancer leaped down from the gap and then walked over with a murderous aura, while Jeanne looked at him with a face full of confusion. It was clear that she had not yet figured out what had happened.
