Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 127

“Oh no, it’s the Evils of Humanity.”

“Evils of Humanity? I only know about the Beast 666, is it that?”

“Oh dear, even Your Majesty has become a Beast!”

“A certain unnamed Killers’ Association member gave it a thumbs up.”

Most people had a confused expression, unlike a small portion of the audience.

“Isn’t this the Holy Grail War? What class is the opponent?”

“Evils of Humanity? What is that? Can someone explain it to me?”

“Beast – Evils of Humanity. Beasts are great disasters rejected by human history, and there are a total of seven Evils of Humanity.”

“They are born from human civilization, becoming stronger as humanity develops, but they destroy civilization from within society, like cancer cells.”

“Well, I completely understand now! So the parrot is also an Evil of Humanity, right?”

“You… What about ‘Makoto’ and ‘pigeon’? Can’t things get any better? So frustrating!”

———-

Bai Qiu’s head was feeling a bit dizzy at the moment.

After all, this was only the second chapter of Rome, and the Humanity Foundation Value was only a meager B+.

How could the Evils of Humanity appear?

Until recently, Bai Qiu had even fantasized that perhaps the shadow of the Beast was projected onto Nero, who was human.

As long as they defeated those magical beasts, they could go home, and the Rome Singularity would be restored.

But when Dr. Romani confirmed that the opponent was the Evils of Humanity, Bai Qiu finally gave up the last shred of fantasy.

The opponent was truly the Evils of Humanity.

From the perspective of an ordinary Servant’s Saint Graph, there was no possibility of any resistance.

Only a Servant with a “Grand” Saint Graph could match them.

But so far, Bai Qiu hadn’t seen any Grand Heroic Spirit.

Is Counter Force not working today?

If they don’t make a move now, they will definitely be wiped out!!!

But upon careful thought, it seemed that Counter Force’s assistance had been extremely limited from the beginning.

Bai Qiu clenched his fists, and his heart began to panic.

Does resistance really make sense? Can they really wait for the help of a Grand Servant?

Without a Grand Servant, it’s basically a hopeless situation to fight against the Beast.

In that case… what should they do on their side?

Damn it…

Why did they have to encounter something like this…

“Senpai!!!”

Suddenly, Mashu grabbed both of Bai Qiu’s hands.

“Mashu…???”

Bai Qiu immediately snapped out of it.

“Senpai, are you okay?”

Mashu looked at them with a concerned expression.

Bai Qiu’s forehead was covered in sweat, unnoticed by them.

“No… I’m just a little…”

“Senpai, don’t worry. No matter what happens, I will protect you!”

Mashu’s eyes were filled with determination.

It seems that for Mashu, no matter how powerful the enemy in front of her is, her first priority is to ensure Bai Qiu’s safety.

“Phew…”

Bai Qiu took a deep breath, trying to calm their emotions.

“Thank you, Mashu.”

“Oh… it’s nothing.”

Mashu saw Bai Qiu staring at her and suddenly blushed, not knowing what to do.

“Fou!!!”

Fou, who appeared out of nowhere, patted Bai Qiu’s face with its tiny paws.

“What are you doing, you little thing! Do you want to fight?!!!”

“Fou… Fou!!!”

“Alright, I’ve had enough rest!”

Mordred stood up and slung Clarent back onto their shoulder.

“I already took down two magical beasts in one go earlier. Now there are just seven more. Let’s go again!”

“In military strategy, there is no absolute method for achieving a hundred percent victory, which means there is also no absolute defeat. No matter how small the possibility is, it can turn into the dawn of victory.”

Waver solemnly spoke while holding his feather fan.

“Speaking of which, Kongming and I are both veterans of the battlefield. We are already accustomed to turning the tides of fate.”

Sima Yi smiled calmly.

“Rather, it’s the unchanging battle situation that is rare. We won’t know who will have the last laugh until the very end.”

“Hahahaha!!! We should be happy to encounter strong enemies, after all, it is those formidable enemies that are worth trampling upon!!!”

Iskandar’s voice was filled with grandeur.

“Come on, young one, no… my awaited Master, what should be our next move?”

“Hey, don’t even think about giving up without permission.”

Jeanne Alter looked at them with a disdainful gaze.

“It’s just a few magical beasts. Watch me burn them all. Before that, you better watch until the end!!!”

Seeing the attitude of everyone, Bai Qiu regained their calmness.

“Thank you all. Our main objective now is to delay the enemy’s attack. Give me some time, and I will come up with a plan.”

“Then I will depart as the vanguard. Your top priority is to protect the Master.”

“Rider!!!”

Waver stopped Iskandar.

“The enemy is powerful, there’s no need to linger in battle. With your mobility, you should be fine, right?”

“Hmph, I never thought I’d see the day when you would worry about me. Don’t worry! I am always the Conqueror King!!!”

Iskandar tightened the reins of Bucephalus and charged straight towards the seven magical beasts.

“Bucephalus, show them your fastest speed!!!”

“Neighhhhhhhhh!!!”

After seeing Iskandar take the lead, Bai Qiu began to think nervously again.

They couldn’t directly summon a Grand Servant, but even without a Grand Servant or the help of the Counter Force, they still had a chance of winning against the magical beasts.

Because there was a certain Heroic Spirit!

“System, check my points!!!”

Bai Qiu immediately shouted in their mind.

【The host’s current livestream points total 230,000 (including 100,000 from gift exchanges).】

【You can draw approximately 230 times.】

【200 draws are needed until the next guaranteed Heroic Spirit.】

【Reminder: Currently unable to connect to the leylines to obtain mana, regular draws are temporarily unavailable.】

【Advanced exchange tickets can be used, but the chances of drawing a Heroic Spirit are extremely low.】

Indeed, the area below was already a sea of blood. It was likely that the entire Roman Empire in this era had been submerged by the flood, making it nearly impossible to obtain mana from the leylines.

If they used the points to strengthen the Saint Graph, it would be useless. The only possible way to break through was…

Without any hesitation, Bai Qiu shouted in his mind.

“I will exchange all my points for advanced lottery tickets and draw!!!”

【Confirming again, current status cannot connect to the leylines, probability of drawing a Heroic Spirit is essentially zero.】

【Do you still want to exchange your points for advanced lottery tickets and draw?】

The mechanical voice of the system echoed in their mind once again.

“Confirmed!”

【Confirmation received, exchanging all 230,000 points for advanced lottery tickets.】

【Beep beep – Exchange successful!】

【Drawing with 23 advanced lottery tickets.】

A faint silver glow gathered on the Gordius Wheel.

“Boom!!!”

A ball of light shot out from the mouth of the magical beast towards the Gordius Wheel.

“Bang!!!”

Mashu unfolded her shield and blocked the attack.

But what followed was an even fiercer assault!!!

“Moo!!!”

The Air-walking Thunder Bulls continuously dodged most of the attacks on their own, but there were still a few that landed on the Gordius Wheel.

Mashu forcefully blocked the opponent’s attack, even though she had exhausted most of her strength in the previous assault.

“Before Senpai comes up with a strategy… I absolutely cannot interfere with him!!!”

With this thought in mind, Mashu persisted with all her might.

The fragile silver glow was so delicate that it scattered at the slightest disturbance, and the Gordius Wheel continued to race amidst violent tremors, making it even more difficult for the silver glow to come together.

One attack, two attacks, three attacks…

Every time the silver glow was about to gather, it would be dispersed and dissipate.

“Really, don’t push your luck!!!”

Mordred swung Clarent heavily towards the charging magical beasts!!!

“Clang————————!!!”

Even the tough scales were difficult to damage, even with the unleashed power of Clarent.

“Roar————————!!!”

A snake-like magical beast with hooked claws on its tentacles opened its large mouth.

“Swoosh swoosh swoosh——————!!!”

The Bagua Disc manifested in the air, continuously shooting out beams of light to forcefully repel the opponent.

“Hmph, did you really think I couldn’t fight?”

Waver continued to wave his feathered fan and attack the magical beasts on the other side.

The small glow in Bai Qiu’s hand was constantly gathering, trying hard to come together.

But the intense tremors always scattered it the moment it gathered.

Ten attacks, eleven attacks, twelve attacks…

“Servant of Mercury, come forth!”

Sima Yi gave the command without hesitation.

“Understood, Lord Sima Yi.”

Trimmau transformed her arms into heavy hammers and struck heavily at the approaching magical beasts!!!

“Shh shh shh————————!!!”

A head that turned into a cross-shaped magical beast swooped down at high speed.

“Let it burst forth!!!”

Black flames flew out from Jeanne Alter’s longsword.

“I don’t care if you’re the Evils of Humanity or something loved by humans, as long as you stand in his way, you’ll all be burned to death!!!”

“Bang, bang, bang——————!!!”

The body of the magical beast emitted a series of explosions, shaking its head and retracting.

Fifteen attacks, sixteen attacks, seventeen attacks…

The silver light gradually dimmed and flowed down from between Bai Qiu’s fingers.

Is it… over already…

Bai Qiu looked at everyone still fighting around him.

They all believed in himself, believed that he would definitely come up with a solution.

How could he give up!!!

Bai Qiu suddenly grabbed hold of the last strand of silver light.

“If you really are the one who has crossed countless worlds to hunt Beasts, then respond to my call, come forth, Wielder of the Sacred Sword of the Planet!!!”

Just as Bai Qiu called out this name, the silver light in her hand began to burst out violently!!!

This brilliance even caught the attention of Nero, who was floating in the distance.

Following that, a figure appeared beside Bai Qiu.

“Saber, Arthur Pendragon, I have responded to the summoning to pursue the omen of evil!!!”

Then Arthur also noticed Nero in the distance.

“I finally found you, the sixth beast of this world, Beast VI!!!”

Before everyone could react, the last bit of silver light in Bai Qiu’s palm burst into golden brilliance once again!!!

Another Servant appeared beside Bai Qiu.

“…So this is what it feels like to be summoned? Ahem, though it may be a bit sudden, I am Mordred…”

When she saw Arthur Pendragon, her expression seemed to change for a moment.

“Ahem, I am Lady Avalon, just a relatively unknown Mage of Flowers.”

Oh my, double Saber?!

Bai Qiu thought he would definitely be able to summon the Proto Saber, after all, the Proto Saber had been chasing after the Beast VI everywhere, and as long as he knew that he had the Beast VI on his side, it would definitely respond to the summoning.

But why did Merry show up?

And from the looks of it, she doesn’t seem to know that the Proto Saber is here.

“Lady… Avalon??”

Arthur stared at the female Merlin with a puzzled look.

“What… what’s wrong? Are Saber must have intimidating looks???”

Merry pretended not to be familiar with Arthur.

“This person is not Merlin, I’ve seen Merlin, and he’s a bad guy.”

Mordred immediately said so.

“You see, even this unknown knight said I’m not Merlin! Thank you, unknown kind knight.”

“Oh! Although I don’t know who you are, if you can be considered as combat strength, then I welcome you wholeheartedly!!!”

Mordred seemed to have a good first impression of Merry.

But when it came to the Proto Saber, Mordred had some questions, but she didn’t ask them.

“Never mind, let’s just leave it at that. I have something I want to talk to you about privately later, but before that, I need to deal with this matter first.”

Arthur looked towards Nero, who was in the middle of the seven-headed magical beasts.

“Oh my, isn’t it a bit crowded here compared to that…? Merry pointed around.

On top of the small Gordius Wheel, there were actually eight people standing.

On the already cramped chariot, they could barely fit their feet now.

“Sorry, the other side made it like this below, and it’s only with this Noble Phantasm that we barely have the means to fight.”

“No need to apologize.”

Facing Bai Qiu, Merry said gently, “Even humans who have the idea of fighting against the Beasts deserve praise, so consider this a little help from me after I arrived here.”

After saying that, she waved her wand.

“Hey yo!!!”

Pure white petals instantly filled the surrounding air.

Then she walked directly out of the Gordius Wheel and stood on the petals as if they were solid ground.

“Come on, now everyone can unleash their powers, right?”

Seeing Merry easily standing in mid-air, Mordred also tried stepping out and effortlessly stood on the petals as if they were the ground.

“Oh! This is so much better. Darn it, watch me chop them into pieces!!!”

With Merry’s support, everyone finally broke free from the restrictions.

“Well then, let’s begin to defeat this guy!”

Merry said cutely.
