Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 139

“Archive point? Destroyed by Chaldea’s own hands?”
Galahad’s sudden words left Bai Qiu stunned.
Wasn’t the Fuyuki Singularity created after Blackbeard obtained the Holy Grail from Lev? How did it become an archive point for preserving the Human Order???

“Sorry, but your words just now seem to be very different from my understanding,” Bai Qiu said, rubbing his forehead.

“It seems that Chaldea didn’t tell you everything,” Galahad shook his head.

“No, was it intentionally hidden from you? But then again, it’s Chaldea we’re talking about. Perhaps this is just part of their plan.”

“If possible, could you please explain in detail about this Singularity?” Bai Qiu asked. It wouldn’t hurt to hear what his junior had to say before drawing conclusions.

“When I arrived, the Holy Grail of Fuyuki had already been corrupted. A large amount of black mud spread at a certain coordinate point, generating countless soulless Servants from it.”

He must be referring to the Shadow Servants.

A large amount?!

Black and gray must be abundant, right? Isn’t it satisfying to sleep on the floor?

“Black Saber guards the contaminated Holy Grail, and Archer is also on her side. But every once in a while, there are many Heroic Spirits like me who have lost their Saint Graph and couldn’t return to the Throne of Heroes, but ended up here. We, just like you, are called ‘drifters.'”

“Ended up here instead of returning to the Throne of Heroes?!”

And according to what my junior said, it seems that many other Servants have also come here.

“When we have no idea what’s going on, that black Saber and Archer will attack these drifters until they are completely eliminated.”

“Has no one defeated them?”

“With the blessing of the Holy Grail, no one can defeat that black Saber.”

Galahad looked towards the other side, which was the direction of the large hollow.

“But what does all this have to do with what you said, that this is a backup point for the Human Order?”

Bai Qiu still didn’t understand the meaning of what his junior said.

“Because that black Saber, the solitary King of Knights, is responsible for maintaining the existence of this Singularity.”

After hearing Galahad’s words, Bai Qiu instantly recalled what Lev had said before.

“That Saber, who clearly obtained the Holy Grail, still wants to maintain this era.”

Now it seems a bit strange.

Why does Saber, who received the Holy Grail, only want to preserve this era?

What is there in this twisted Fuyuki that is worth protecting?

“This Singularity F was evaluated by Chaldea as the Humanity Foundation Value C, right?”

Galahad continued speaking.

“Usually, such a small Singularity would not have much impact on human history if left alone. But Chaldea was the first to want to repair this Singularity. Don’t you find it strange?”

“As a first-time Singularity, it shouldn’t be surprising.”

Bai Qiu immediately responded.

Even if it’s a game level, it should start from easy to difficult.

“That’s because you are just an ordinary person, the Master from Chaldea.”

Galahad looked directly into Bai Qiu’s eyes.

“Originally, the 7 Masters prepared by Chaldea were exceptionally talented Magus, but Chaldea still arranged for all 7 of them to transfer to this era at the same time. Don’t you think it’s a bit excessive?”

“——————————？！”

Bai Qiu was stunned.

Indeed, the seven people in Team A are all extremely skilled.

Not to mention the three thousand-year-old beautiful young man, even the captain is heavyweight.

Chaldea arranged for the seven of them to come to Fuyuki Singularity together, which was then taken care of by Lev, who was blown up by Grand.

Indeed, upon careful consideration, it does seem a bit unreasonable.

“The reason why Chaldea wants to destroy this place is because they discovered that this is a backup point.”

“Wait… What exactly does a backup point mean?”

“This is a distortion point independent of the world. If, in the future, the Human Order disappears for some reason, it will automatically continue from here and create new paths. Even if there are fractures in the future that the Human Order cannot overcome, the Human Order will always have this insurance to continue on its own.”

Galahad drew a straight line on the ground with his sword, and then extended new branches from the line.

“This is why that black King Arthur has been guarding this era.”

“And why should I believe that what you’re saying is true?”

Bai Qiu maintained his distance from Galahad.

Although his junior saved him just now, it doesn’t prove that everything he says is true.

“I’m not trying to convince you.”

Galahad sheathed his sword and wiped away the lines on the ground.

“I just don’t want you and that girl to be kept in the dark. There are plans within Chaldea that you can’t see.”

Then he stood up.

“Our chat ends here. It seems someone has found this place.”

“Hmph, you’re as sharp as ever, the Knight of the Round Table who stand amid disaster.”

An figure had appeared outside the bridge hole at some point.

Bai Qiu immediately looked over and saw that it was Emiya Shirou, who had already been tainted by the Black Grail.

“Aren’t you going to submit to your king today?”

“Sorry, I’m originally a person without desires or ambitions, so I’m not currently interested in serving under a king again.”

“Another drifter, huh?”

Emiya Shirou’s gaze swept up and down Bai Qiu’s body.

“You don’t happen to want to protect these guys again, do you?”

“I respect the king’s choices, but I don’t approve of all her orders.”

Galahad stood in front, holding his sword, blocking Emiya Shirou’s gaze.

“What a disappointment. But fortunately, my order is to ensure the stability of this era no matter what. If there’s fierce resistance, then we’ll just have to eliminate them all!”

Emiya Shirou rushed towards them in a flash, and the Kanshou and Bakuya swords instantly materialized in his hands.

“Swish, swish – – – – – – – – – – – ! ! !”

Two swift slashes followed!

Galahad immediately swung his sword and clashed with the two swords.

“Clang——!!!”

Galahad’s strength was not weaker than Emiya Shirou’s.

“Is protecting people your interest, Knight of the Round Table?”

“It’s just a connection with him. If possible, I hope you can let go, Archer.”

Galahad pushed forward with force, directly using his sword to force Emiya Shirou to retreat.

Emiya Shirou avoided Galahad’s slash and immediately jumped back.

“Swish, swish——!!!”

Gan Jiang Mo Ye transformed into two spinning blades and flew towards Bai Qiu behind Galahad!

Seeing this, Galahad had to stop chasing and blocked the two short swords.

At this moment, Emiya Shirou had already quickly generated a black longbow and a long sword in his hands.

“Swish——!!!”

After pulling the bow taut, the long sword, used as an arrow, flew directly towards Galahad!!!

Upon seeing the flying long sword, Galahad reached out his hand forward.

A shield was generated in the air, blocking the long sword shot by Emiya Shirou.

“Crack!”

The moment the long sword touched the shield, it turned into powder.

“Haah!!!”

Galahad directly thrust his shield forward and swiftly attacked Emiya Shirou.

Unable to draw his bow in time, Emiya Shirou had to abandon his longbow and once again generated Gan Jiang Mo Ye to defend.

“Clang——!!!”

With a loud bang, Emiya Shirou was directly knocked away.

Galahad immediately chased after him and continued his assault!

Bai Qiu saw the two of them fighting along the river and immediately followed.

Galahad truly lived up to being a genuine Heroic Spirit, much more proficient with using a shield than Mashu.

Before long, he pushed Emiya Shirou into a desperate situation.

“If you’re willing to retreat now, let’s call it a day.”

Maintaining his shield stance, Galahad spoke to Emiya Shirou, who was unable to move due to being hit.

“Heh, if only I could do that. It’s just that you seemed to have overlooked such an obvious trap.”

Emiya Shirou shouted loudly towards the back.

“————————？！”

Galahad immediately looked towards the distance.

A black figure was already approaching quickly.

“Clang——!!!”

Galahad instantly blocked the attack with his shield.

A female Saber in black armor appeared in front of everyone.

“Saber?!”

Bai Qiu looked at the Black Saber, who should only appear in the Great Hollow, appearing here.

“Galahad, have you betrayed the oath of the Knights of the Round Table?”

He questioned Galahad loudly, while the Black Saber held a black Holy Sword in front of him.

“No, I have never forgotten my oath, King.”

Galahad placed his hand on his chest and said so.

“Then why are you helping these ‘drifters’?”

“Because that would deviate from the chivalry of Britain.”

Facing King Arthur’s question, Galahad looked at the Black Saber without changing his expression.

“Ridiculous. As a Knight of the Round Table, you should prioritize obeying the king’s command above all else!!!”

“Sorry, King, I cannot completely abandon chivalry.”

“Is that so? Then I can only consider you as someone who openly defies the king’s command and punish you.”

Black Saber held the sword with both hands and took an attacking stance.

“Can you still fight, Archer?”

“Of course… Saber.”

Emiya Shirou, who was previously injured, struggled to stand up, reprojected his bow and a “Hrunting” in his hand, and armed himself with the bow.

Seeing King Arthur in black emitting pitch-black Magical Energy, Galahad also assumed a serious stance.

He held the shield in front of him and watched the opponent’s movements without moving.

The massive black Magical Energy began to gather around Black Saber, and then her pitch-black Holy Sword also revealed its original form.

When the sword was filled with Magical Energy, she swung it forward with force!

“Iron Hammer of the Hollow King. Overturn the aurora——Swallow the light! Excalibur Morgan! (Excalibur Morgan)!!!”

At the same time, Emiya Shirou next to her drew the bow to its fullest and shot the “Hrunting” directly towards the front at high speed!

The lightless darkness spewed out, and the powerful particles of Magical Energy engulfed and crushed everything around!!!

Galahad also lifted his shield with a determined gaze and began to chant an incantation.

“The place that cures all wounds and dissolves all hatred, our home, sits here! Lord Camelot! (Lord Camelot)!!!”

A majestic silver city wall immediately appeared!

When the lightless darkness collided with the city wall like a black dragon, it was immediately blocked.

Galahad took a step forward.

“Haah!!!”

Instantly, this massive surge of Magical Energy was completely reflected back!!!

“Boom——!!!”

The black impact that was bounced back directly hit Black Saber and Emiya Shirou, submerging them both.

Bai Qiu stared intently at the Noble Phantasms clashing before her. Unlike Mashu, Galahad’s original Noble Phantasm can reflect the damage back to the opponent.

Looking again, both the black Saber and Emiya Shirou were already lying on the ground, their bodies turning into particles and gradually disappearing.

Galahad didn’t say anything, but simply put away the shield in his hand.

“It’s all right now.”

Galahad turned back and said to Bai Qiu.

“Thank you.”

Bai Qiu nodded in gratitude towards Galahad.

“No need to thank me. I was only protecting you on behalf of that girl.”

With Black Saber’s defeat, a golden cup appeared.

It was the Holy Grail!!!

Bai Qiu finally breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the Holy Grail.

This Singularity has also been rectified, so she can probably go back now.

Even if it’s just a dream, it’s time to wake up.

Galahad walked over and took the Holy Grail in his hand.

“Galahad, can I use this Holy Grail to go back now?”

Bai Qiu leaned in.

“Sorry, even with the power of the Holy Grail, you can’t return to your original era.”

Galahad looked expressionlessly at Bai Qiu.

“You didn’t come to this era in the right way, I’m afraid you can’t go back. And I won’t let you use this Holy Grail recklessly, as it would inevitably cause this era to collapse.”

“——————!?”

In Bai Qiu’s shocked gaze, Galahad placed the Holy Grail into his shield.

“Galahad, are you…?”

“Yes, I will continue to maintain this era in place of the King!”

A black aura gradually appeared on Galahad’s purple armor, but his expression remained resolute.

Damn it…

Bai Qiu clenched his fist.

He didn’t have any other Servants at the moment, and the system wasn’t responding. It was foolish to think that he could defeat Galahad alone.

But if this Singularity isn’t eliminated, he won’t be able to leave here.

Now that the Holy Grail has been taken in by Galahad’s shield…

Is there no way out anymore…

“Oh, there you are.”

A familiar voice suddenly echoed in the sky.

“I was wondering where you had gone.”

A crack appeared on the ground in front of Bai Qiu, and a golden-haired girl with a crown on her head emerged from the crack, wearing an evil smile on her face.

“So, you’ve been playing here, my Master~”
