Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 129

“Oh no, it feels like a heart attack!”

“I don’t get it, is this the first season of ‘My Father is a Star Hero from Another World, but Unexpectedly Strong’?”

“Oh no, it seems like Mo-san is about to recognize it!”

“Will Arthur just come out and say, ‘I am your father’?”

“Isn’t Mordred in Arthur’s world a son?”

“To the brother upstairs, you’re right. In our world, King Arthur is also male, and Mordred is male too. Got it, I’m buying a plane ticket to Avalon to chat with Big Sister Merlin!”

“It’s good to have multiple daughters. Isn’t it said that daughters are like their father’s little cotton jackets?”

“Mo-san is probably a wicked little cotton jacket. Arthur’s heart must be cold just by wearing it.”

“Your ‘heart cold’ is an adjective, right? Your heart isn’t actually cold, right?!”

“Oh no, now they have to recognize each other as father and daughter.”

“System message: ‘Britannia’s Little Rascal’ sends a golden cruise ship!”

“Comment: No male mama, no male mama!!!”

——

Previously, Mordred didn’t hear Arthur’s self-introduction during the battle against Bestia Coccinea.

She even had some inexplicable rivalry because they were both Saber Class. After all, in Mordred’s concept, only the strongest Servant is worthy of the Saber Class. However, at this moment, when she saw the Holy Sword that had cut down the monsters, she immediately recognized it.

This is the Holy Sword, Excalibur, wielded by King Arthur. Although it had a slight difference in appearance, the feeling it gave was completely the same, and she would never mistake it.

“Are you King Arthur? Answer me!!!” Mordred stood up, staring at the other person with hostility in her eyes.

It wasn’t because she harbored any resentment towards the unfamiliar knight in front of her, but because the name “King Arthur” inherently carried hostility for her.

“————?!”

Arthur was momentarily stunned by Mordred’s reaction but still answered her question calmly.

“Yes, I am the ruler of Britain, Arthur Pendragon, but I am not from your world.”

“Not from our world?”

Mordred’s eyes were fixed on Arthur, seemingly trying to confirm if he was deceiving him.

“Yes, in our world, I am indeed King Arthur, who fought alongside the Knights of the Round Table, and even had a…”

When Arthur saw Mordred, something flashed in his eyes.

“No, I’m sorry, it was just some trivial matters.”

“So, your purpose of coming here is to hunt down that guy?”

“Yes, in another world, I have defeated this Beast VI twice, and Merlin prophesied that it would come for the third time, so I have been traveling through worlds and finally ended up here.”

After listening, Mordred pondered for a moment and nodded.

“I understand. Since you are not the king, then it’s fine. But sorry, I won’t get along with you.”

“King??” Arthur was slightly surprised.

“Do you have any connection with King Arthur?”

“Ah, of course.” Mordred proudly straightened his chest.

“I am the only heir of King Arthur in this world, Mordred!!!”

After saying that, Mordred directly carried Clarent and charged towards the next monster.

“Don’t lag behind, King from another world!!!”

As Arthur watched Mordred’s energetic charge towards the distant Arthur, his expression softened for some reason.

“This world’s Mordred is really adorable. Perhaps in this world, I would be proud to have such a son.”

Arthur shook his head and dismissed these thoughts.

Now, he must focus entirely on facing the beast that he had been chasing.

He tightly grasped the Holy Sword once again and continued the battle.
“Oh! It seems like not only Arthur, but everyone else is filled with determination!”

Merry stood on the Gordius Wheel, looking down below, seemingly finding the current situation very amusing.

“To fight against the Evils of Humanity without the help of Grand Servants, it truly is a commendable human epic.”

“Fou… Fou!!!”

Fou jumped onto Merry’s shoulder and looked down as well.

“Cath Palug, you’re really lucky. There aren’t such interesting views in Avalon.”

“Fou, Fou!!!”

When Fou saw Mashu blocking the attack of one of the Bestia Coccinea with her shield, he immediately jumped down in a hurry.

“Ah, Cath Palug!!!”

Merry wanted to reach out and grab him, but Fou disappeared with a flash.

“Huh, blame my brother for letting it out so early. I feel like if he saw it, he would give it a good kick.”

“Um… Lady Avalon?”

Waver hesitated for a moment, then called out.

“Hey! I’m here.”

Merry turned around with a smile and glanced up and down at Waver.

“So you’re a Heroic Spirit from China, right? Is there something you need from me?”

“These seven beasts are just the Familiars of this Beast VI. They may be suppressed soon with the current efficiency, but do you have any suggestions for defeating the main body of Beast VI?”

“Suggestions, huh?”

Merry pondered for a moment.

“If it were other Heroic Spirits, I might say something like ‘keep up the good work,’ but both you and the Servant beside you are strategist-type Heroic Spirits, right?”

“A clear judgment. Truly befitting of a Heroic Spirit with Grand qualifications.”

Sima Yi praised Merry without hesitation.

“Hehe, it’s quite a novel experience to receive praise from two Chinese strategists. But since you both are strategist-type Heroic Spirits, you naturally understand that in the face of absolute strength, any plan is futile, right?”

Saying these words, Merry looked towards Nero, who was still motionless in the distance, simply enjoying the battle of her Familiar and Servants.

“That person may seem harmless now, but she has traveled through countless worlds and devoured the Human Orders of many worlds to arrive here. She is the true Evils of Humanity, the enemy of Human Order!”

After hearing her words, Waver and Sima Yi fell into silence.

Bai Qiu, who was standing aside, naturally heard their conversation.

Merry is right.

Before the overwhelming power of Beast VI, it can be said that most strategies are in vain.

Until then, we can only take it step by step.

“Haahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Arthur swung his Holy Sword once again, slaying the head of the worm-like monster.

“Ahahahaha!”

Jeanne Alter continuously slashed at the serpent-like monster with her sword, and the black flames kept burning on its tough body.

The enraged serpent-like monster lunged at them with its mouth wide open.

“Be careful, Jeanne Alter-san!!!”

Mashu raised her shield to block the attack for Jeanne.

Several black spears took the opportunity to pierce into its mouth, followed by a powerful explosion.

“Boom!!!!!!!!”

The serpent-like monster shook its body, letting out a painful howl.

“Ssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!”

“Go to hell!!!!!!!”

Seeing that the enemy was already injured, Jeanne Alter immediately pursued and stabbed the Evil Dragon banner into its body.

“Boom, boom, boom!!!!!!!!”

After three explosions, the massive body of the serpent-like monster collapsed and slowly sank into the sea of blood below.

“We successfully defeated one, Jeanne Alter-san.”

“Hehehe, of course! Mashu, follow me to defeat the next one!”

“Alright!!!!!!!”

After cooperating with Mashu multiple times, Jeanne Alter seemed to have developed enough trust in Mashu.

“Hey, have you guys finished over there?”

Before Jeanne Alter and Mashu could set off, Iskandar arrived riding Bucephalus.

“Iskandar-san!”

“Oh! Miss Demi-Servant, it seems that these monsters have already been defeated.”

“What?!”

Jeanne Alter looked around and realized that while she and Mashu took down one, the remaining six had also been defeated.

“Tsk, what a miscalculation…”

Jeanne Alter gritted her teeth in frustration and then looked towards Nero, who was floating not far away.

“It seems that I have to take down that guy to show Master that I’m the most important.”

With that in mind, she directly rushed towards Nero with the Evil Dragon banner in hand.

But in the next second, a violent tremor came from the front.

Boom!!!!!!!!!

Jeanne Alter was directly knocked back, but luckily Mashu caught her in time.

“You guys are quite tenacious, even my Familiar couldn’t take you down.”

A black aura began to entwine around Nero.

Her body gradually shrank within the black mist, accompanied by an indescribable sense of immense Magical Energy pressure.

Within the black mist, a petite girl gradually appeared.

On top of her head and on her left and right shoulders, she wore golden crowns. Her pupils turned blood-red, and in her left hand she held a Holy Grail overflowing with black mist.

Not only that, her legs and right hand took on the form of a crimson dragon, and she had a dragon tail behind her.

“I will devour your last breath!”

The petite girl spoke in a terrifying voice.

“Come forth and feel honored to witness my true form, oh Preservation of Human Order!!!”

A powerful surge of Magical Energy enveloped her, quickly suppressing everyone’s ability to move freely.

The aerial mobility granted by Merry was greatly weakened, and they could only move in the high altitude within five meters of the blood sea.

“Detecting a massive Magical Energy reaction, analysis in progress!!!”

“Analysis complete, it is speculated to be the Beast VI, the juvenile form!!!”

“Juvenile form?!”

Dr. Romani couldn’t believe it and slammed the table.

“Just a juvenile form can possess such terrifying levels of Magical Energy?!”

“Romani, perhaps we have to admit…”

Da Vinci’s expression turned worried.

“We were too optimistic before. Maybe this time, the future of humanity is truly going to disappear.”

“…”

Dr. Romani stared at the monitor intently.

If Bai Qiu and the others were truly facing the worst outcome, then what about himself…

……………

Arthur looked up at the girl holding the Holy Grail, filled with a filthy aura, and memories of Merlin’s prophecy began to resurface in his mind.

“The seven-headed ten-horned beast, the mother of all abominations. It gathers together all those who still harbor anger in the center of the golden whirlpool, seeking to belittle and insult, consuming without end. It is the Beast VI, defined as the power to kill.”

“At last, your true form is revealed! Beast VI/S!!!”

Arthur then wielded the Holy Sword and swiftly approached her.

“Roarrrrrr!!!!!!!”

Suddenly, the blood sea below churned violently!

The previously defeated seven demonic beasts awakened once again and attacked Arthur!!!

“These beasts… are they immortal?!” Waver exclaimed in surprise from mid-air.

“After all, they are her seven demonic beast Familiars. As long as Beast VI still exists, those Bestia Coccinea that have been transformed into concepts will continue to exist,” Merry casually explained, as if she had already known the outcome.

Under the interference of the seven demonic beasts, Arthur’s attack was quickly hindered.

“Step back, Holy Sword!!!” a loud shout rang out, and black mist emanated from the Holy Grail in the hands of the petite Nero.

“—!?”

Sensing something amiss with his powerful instincts, Arthur immediately retreated and warned the others.

“Be careful! Don’t go near that black mist!!!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the black mist erupted in a violent explosion.

“Ah!!!!”

Explosions continued to resonate within the blood sea, creating new blood mist that blocked the approach of the group.

Waver, observing from above, also noticed something amiss with the mist.

“Lady Avalon, can you use the flower Magecraft from earlier to dispel the mist?” he asked.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t,” Merry replied, shaking her head. “With my current Saint Graph, I can’t interfere with particles of such high concentrations of Magical Energy. I can only be consumed by them.”

“Such a huge power gap… So, all we can do is resist until the last moment and then give up?” Waver said defiantly, facing the nearly invincible Beast VI.

“No, no, no, of course not,” Merry smiled and shook her head, pointing her staff forward. A gentle breeze emanated from the end of her staff, and petals flew out, blocking the beam of light emitted by the distant dragon-headed demonic beast for Mordred.

“The reason humans can resist the beasts is not because of strength, but because of love and hope.”

“… Love and hope?” Waver repeated Merry’s words, puzzled.

Exactly. Beasts grow stronger due to the sins of humanity, and humans must transcend sin to embrace a true future. To transcend their own sins, humans need something precious that binds them together,” Merry explained, turning her gaze to Bai Qiu.

“Just as Master holds hope in their heart, it is this hope that has called us here. So as long as we hold hope, there is always a way.”

Hold hope…?

Listening to this, Bai Qiu fell into deep thought.

But I have already exhausted all my points to obtain the assistance of Merry and Arthur, the Wielder of the Sacred Sword of the Planet. Is there any hope left?

Bai Qiu glanced at the live stream footage in the upper right corner.

Wait a minute…

If there is still hope, it can only be this!

Bai Qiu immediately switched the camera to focus on their bracelet.

Then, taking a deep breath, they loudly announced:

“Ladies and gentlemen, we are now starting a reposting lottery event in this live stream. We hope that you will actively repost this live stream to your Moments and share it with your friends. The prizes to be drawn will be determined based on the number of reposts.”

“This includes surprise birthday messages from our Heroic Spirit actors, wake-up voice recordings, and even the decision to continue filming the next season based on the number of reposts.”

“The way to participate is to comment in the live stream chat. We hope that you will actively repost!!!”

After Bai Qiu’s words aired on the live stream, it didn’t receive much response.

There were even many bullet comments mocking Bai Qiu’s words.

“Hey dude, I want to see the battle scenes, hurry up and switch.”

“Huh? You expect us to repost for this? This reward is nothing.”

“Yeah, exactly! Other live streams have tons of fans with lit-up badges. What is this?”

…

Seeing these bullet comments, Bai Qiu’s heart felt like it had been filled with ice and haphazardly shoved back in.

… Did they overestimate their own live stream?

But now, they had no other choice.

The Servants had fought valiantly, and not a single one of them had backed down in the face of such a huge power gap.

But even so, it wasn’t enough!

To overcome the Evils of Humanity, Bai Qiu needed more points!!!

Bai Qiu’s eyes were fixed on the barrage of comments on the screen, with only their own breath and heartbeat in their ears.

Please, come quickly!!!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Huff…

Huff…

Huff…

“Here I am, drawn by your reputation!!!”

“Reporting for duty!!!”

“Answering the summoning call!!!”

“Sorry, I’m at work, but I’m on the rooftop. I’m here to support!”

“We must film another season, please!!!”

“I want a personalized birthday wish from Jeanne Alter, please draw me!!!”

“It doesn’t matter if I get chosen or not, I’ve been lurking for too long, just coming up for a breath of fresh air.”

“Hey, streamer, I’ve already invited my entire class group chat, so you know what I mean, right?”

“Keep going, Mordred!!!”

“Don’t give up, Mashu-chan!!!”

“Jalter-san, I’m still waiting for your birthday voice recording!!!”

…

Countless bullet comments were rapidly flying in the live stream room, so fast that even Bai Qiu couldn’t keep up with them.

The sound of the system notifications kept echoing in Bai Qiu’s mind.

For a moment, Bai Qiu was completely stunned.

Then, an indescribable emotion filled their chest.

But they couldn’t put it into words.

“Oh? Is this the love of humanity?”

Merry, who was standing beside Bai Qiu without saying a word, looked at the dazed Bai Qiu with an interested smile on their face.

“I guess… it’s worth it for me to come personally.”
