Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 128

“She’s the big sister in the character development genre, and he’s the innocent little boy!!!”

“Now this is true comedy, turning yourself into a little boy and running around the world.”

“Oh, look who’s here, the pathetic woman. Hilarious, she even got caught by the Arthur.”

“But if you look closely, you can’t really blame the Arthur. After all, this charming older sister is quite irresistible…”

“Don’t you all care about that Saber who claims to be Arthur? Turns out he’s a man!!!”

“King Arthur can’t possibly be a boy!!!”

“Now even Mo-san is confused. How can my father, the king, be male?”

“How can the king be a man? Wait, no, the king should be a man? My gender perception is all messed up…”

“Hold on, hold on, let me sort this out… King Arthur is male, Mordred is female, Merlin is female… Oh my, why is everything so chaotic?”

“Let’s just fight already, I don’t want to understand all of this, I just want to see blood flowing like a river!!!”

“System message: ‘Counter Force Part-Timer’ has sent a golden cruise ship!”

“Message: The boss said we have a day off today, everyone, let’s keep up the good work!!!”

——-

“Fou!!!”

Fou suddenly jumped from Mashu onto Merry’s shoulder.

“Cath Palug?! So that’s it, you were thrown into this era by your brother.”

“Fou… Fou!!!”

Fou kept calling out to Merry, as if trying to tell her something.

“Ahahaha, so that’s how it is with my brother. But I’m sure he has his own plans.”

“Fou!!!”

“Alright, alright, stop bickering. You stay by Master’s side for now.”

After spinning around, Fou stepped on flower petals and returned to Bai Qiu and Mashu’s side.

“It’s actually that great magician, Merlin?!”

Dr. Romani’s surprised voice came through the communicator.

“The great Magus of Britain, the mix of Incubus and human, who hailed Artoria Pendragon as king, and later became the Court Magician—a top-notch king developer and the ultimate homebody in the world!”

Dr. Roman’s image was almost bursting out of the communicator.

“And he’s even a Servant? That Merlin?!”

“Thank you for all the introductions.”

Merry smiled as she looked at Dr. Romani’s image.

“Unfortunately, this isn’t me… It’s my brother’s.”

“Brother???”

The doctor looked puzzled.

“No time to explain. If we’re going to face this beast, we must unleash our full power. Hya!!!”

Merry swung her staff forward, turning the beam emitted by the monster into flower petals.

“Haaaaaahhhh!!!”

After being freed from the restraints, Mordred charged forward and swung Clarent towards the body of the monster.

The dragon-headed creature immediately opened its sharp teeth and bit down towards Mordred below.

“Crimson Thunder!!!”

Mordred immediately activated Mana Burst, preparing to withstand the attack.

“Swish—!!!”

Suddenly, a figure flashed by and instantly created a wound on the dragon-headed monster above.

“Roar—!!!”

The enraged monsters all turned their attention to the figure.

The figure swiftly flew through the air and then leaped in front of Nero, raising a golden Holy Sword in their hand.

“Ha—!!!”

The golden Holy Sword in their hand emitted a brilliant light as it came down.

“Thunk—!!!”

An invisible barrier instantly blocked their attack.

“Not bad, Wielder of the Sacred Sword of the Planet,” Nero said calmly, even with a hint of amusement.

“Unfortunately, with your current Saint Graph, you cannot harm me. Why not let the Counter Force come out and give you a decent Saint Graph?”

“My goal is to eliminate you! To protect the peace of the world!!!”

The Holy Sword in Arthur’s hand radiated with intense light!!!

“Face reality, no matter in which world, Excalibur Proto will never let you escape!”

“Crack, crack!!!”

Cracks began to appear on the invisible barrier in front.

“Haah!!!”

Under Arthur’s full attack, the barrier couldn’t withstand the force and shattered completely!!!

Suddenly, a burst of black mist erupted, hitting Arthur who couldn’t dodge in time.

“Saber!!!”

Iskandar, who was fighting the monsters while riding Bucephalus, saw this scene and immediately rushed over to rescue.

Arthur, who was engulfed in the black mist, was quickly corroded, and then torn apart!

But the body that was torn apart turned into petals the next second, and Arthur himself appeared in the air not far away, just in time to be saved by Iskandar who had arrived.

“Thank you, Rider.”

“Hey, don’t rush ahead alone, but it seems like you have some deep connection with this enemy.”

“Yes, I must defeat this beast. It is my destiny.”

Arthur looked towards Nero, who was unharmed in the distance.

“Sorry, Master.”

Back in the camp, Arthur approached Bai Qiu.

“Please forgive my recklessness, but that beast is someone I must defeat.”

“No, as long as you’re okay.”

Bai Qiu shook his head.

Now without the Grand Servant, this Wielder of the Sacred Sword of the Planet is one of his few remaining cards.

If it’s so easy to lose, then everything will be finished.

“Really, even though you have traveled to so many worlds, why are you still so impulsive, ah… no, the unnamed Saber.”

Merry originally wanted to tease Arthur, but quickly remembered something and changed her tone immediately.

“Whose fault is this?! Merlin!!!”

Arthur sighed.

“What’s with this unnamed Saber, do you still intend to continue playing along?”

“Who…who is Merlin, I am Lady Avalon~~~”

Merry turned her head in panic.

“Well, if you don’t want to admit it.”

Arthur knew that the current threat was the Evils of Humanity in front of him, as for his and Merlin’s matters, they could wait until later.

If she hadn’t run away yet.

“Holy Sword user from another world, do you already know the true name of the enemy?”

Dr. Romani asked Arthur eagerly.

“Ah, I am the one who chases after the Beast, crossing many worlds, always moving forward on the journey, naturally I am well aware of its true name.”

Arthur’s gaze focused on Nero, who was revealing an evil smile in the sky.

“For the pleasure of observing human ‘Depravity’, for tasting the fruits of corruption, the Evils of Humanity that pour desires into the cup, the embodiment of lust – Beast VI, the Beast of Sodom!!!”

As Arthur shouted out the enemy’s true name, Nero in the air finally burst into uncontrollable laughter.

“Behold, this prosperous wave that anyone would praise, the filthy sky that covers the earth is indeed derived from the boundless desires of humanity. Yes, I am the Beast VI/S, here to taste the delicious flavor of ‘Human Order’s disappearance’!!!”

Following her, the seven-headed monsters behind her let out a furious roar, and the sea of blood surged endlessly.

“After comparison, it has been confirmed that the enemy is the ‘Beast of Lust’ – Beast VI/Sodom’s Beast!”

“It possesses two dragon-headed monsters, two worm-headed monsters, two snake-like creatures with hooked claws in their mouths, and one creature with a slender mouth split in the middle! All of their Magical Energy reactions are higher than the Demon God Pillars!!!”

Finally, Chaldea began to have preliminary data analysis results internally.

“The Magical Energy value of the central beast is continuously growing, currently remaining at the Third Planetary Class.”

Everyone within Chaldea was working nervously, while Da Vinci continued to analyze the numerical intelligence of the enemy.

“How is this possible… it’s still growing…”

Da Vinci’s eyes flickered with data.

“This greed, this arrogance! Today, let me put an end to it!!!”

Arthur pointed his Holy Sword forward towards the roaring monsters.

“Is that so? If there’s no one to resist, then it would be too boring. Come, my Familiar, Bestia Coccinea, let’s go all out and fight!!!”

“Roarrrr!!!

At her side, the seven-headed beast roared and charged again.

Arthur immediately swung his sword and joined the battle again, with Jeanne Alter following closely behind. Mashu provided support for the two of them.

Iskandar, on the other hand, rode Bucephalus to support Mordred, who was still in the midst of the fight.

On the Gordius Wheel, Bai Qiu, Merry, Kongming, and Sima Yi swiftly dodged attacks.

These three servants, who were not skilled in direct combat, were ready to provide support on the battlefield.

“Damn it, the supply of magical energy is still not enough.”

Bai Qiu clenched his fists.

Although Mordred and Iskandar were still fighting, the magical energy obtained from Chaldea was extremely limited. The consumption of magical energy was increasing, and if this continued…

The magical energy converted from Command Seals and points could only be effective for a single servant.

Wait, it seems there is an exceptional Caster on our side.

“Merlin, can I ask you to replenish everyone’s magical energy?”

Bai Qiu immediately turned to Merry, who was standing beside her.

“Oh? I didn’t expect to be entrusted by my own Master. Upon closer inspection, you seem quite attractive. Are you interested in becoming a ‘king’?”

Merry leaned in, carefully examining Bai Qiu’s face.

“Sorry, absolutely not!!!”

Bai Qiu immediately refused.

He didn’t want to end up like the Arthur, with his life turned upside down by Merry.

“Oh well, I thought you would be an interesting Master. But since I’ve been asked, I’ll work hard! Hiya!!!”

Merry swung her staff down, and petals instantly scattered around her.

“A distant paradise, blooming hope, I bestow upon you a flower.”

Then a gentle breeze carried the petals, surrounding all the Servants present.

“I’ll give you a fragrant petal of the opened hopes from the distant paradise. Even if it’s remote, it certainly exists. Walk embraced by the sunlight. Utopia Beckoning in the Distance! (Winds of Avalon)!!!”

At the moment the incantation ended, everyone felt it. Magical energy began to surge continuously.

And it seemed that a gentle breeze blew through their hearts, completely dispersing the growing anxiety.

“In that case, everyone can hold on for a while longer.”

Merry said with a smile as she lowered her staff.

As an Succubus, Merry had the ability to absorb magical energy from the enemy’s spirit, and her Noble Phantasm could protect her own Servants while providing magical energy.

The Merlin brand new concept perpetual motion machine was definitely worth having.

If possible, Bai Qiu hoped that she could stack multiple buffs.

“Such a large-scale Magecraft was completed in an instant!”

Dr. Romani looked at Merry in disbelief.

“Are you sure you’re not a Grand Position Saint Graph?”

“Of course not. Although I have the qualification to be a Grand, those things are too troublesome. Once you get involved, it becomes troublesome in various ways. So, unfortunately, I’m still an ordinary Saint Graph for now.”

Merry smiled and denied Dr. Romani’s speculation.

“Without the assistance of a Grand Servant, it is indeed quite difficult to confront the Beast…”

“But Doctor, we have no choice but to fight!”

Bai Qiu on the chariot looked towards the Bestia Coccinea ahead.

Everyone is fiercely fighting against these massive monsters, but with Merry’s assistance, it seems that the situation has improved significantly.

“Boom!”

The monster’s dragon head shoots out a beam, which Mordred skillfully dodges, and then swiftly swings his sword towards its neck!

“Hah!”

The black aura released from Clarent pierces through the thick scales, and then forcefully strikes downward.

“Crack!”

The scales severed by Clarent make a cracking sound, leaving a deep mark on the monster’s body.

“Roar!”

Another snake-like monster with a forked cross-shaped head thrashes its head from side to side and launches a fierce attack towards Mordred!

Unable to dodge in time, Mordred blocks the attack with Clarent and is pushed back, unable to stop!

“Damn it!”

Mordred forcefully releases Magical Energy, attempting to paralyze the monster with lightning.

“Sizzle!”

Although the red lightning emanating from Mordred’s armor continuously strikes the monster, it seems that the creature shows no intention of stopping.

If this continues, Mordred will likely be pushed into a sea of blood!

“Gah!”

Suddenly, a golden Holy Sword descends from the sky and deeply embeds itself in the head of the snake-like monster.

The pain causes the snake-like monster to release its bite on Mordred and start writhing and struggling.

“Strike here!”

With a resounding shout, the golden Holy Sword swiftly slashes across the monster’s skull.

“Hiss!”

The wounded monster screams in agony, its wound spewing a large amount of black-red blood as it sinks into the sea of blood.

“Are you alright, Saber?”

The knight in pure white armor turns back to Mordred and reaches out a hand to help her up.

“Tch, I don’t need your help!”

Mordred extends her hand to push away the knight’s hand.

“I’ve already taken care of enemies of this level twice.”

Soon, Mordred notices the familiar radiance emitted by the Holy Sword in the knight’s hand.

“Your sword…!!!”
