Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 24

The saintly girl in black armor looked down arrogantly at everyone.

And at this moment, she was standing on the back of a giant dragon.

The massive evil dragon beneath her was covered in black scales, and just its low growl was enough to make powerful monsters scatter and overflow with Magical Energy.

Evil Dragon Fafnir.

Completely different from those bipedal flying dragons, it was a true dragon species.

When Jeanne Alter’s face appeared on the live stream screen, someone immediately recognized her.

“Jeanne! She must be Jeanne!!!”

“She looks a bit different from what I imagined, but as long as she’s good-looking, it’s fine, right?”

“Mashu, I’m sorry, my heart is starting to waver… This is a test, it must be a test for me!”

“This girl looks pretty good, why is she dressed so flamboyantly and with a four-legged lizard as a pet?”

“Brother, that thing is called a Western Dragon…”

“Isn’t this dragon a bit too big? Is it an AI model? It looks quite real from the screen.”

“Of course, it’s special effects. It hasn’t moved yet. It will burn a lot of money when it does…”

The lively discussion in the live stream room did not catch Bai Qiu’s attention. He was thinking rapidly about this unusual development.

Why didn’t Jeanne come? Instead, Jalter came?!

Shouldn’t Jeanne Alter be discussing the next move with Gilles de Rais at this time? Why did she suddenly appear in front of him?

This scene is like a new player who has just logged into the game, unexpectedly encountering a big boss at the entrance of the beginner’s village.

Although he himself is not a complete newbie.

“System, how many points do I have now?”

Just to be safe, it’s better to confirm the number of draws available.

[Beep beep – Querying.]

[Query successful! The current live stream points are 103,450!]

[Beep beep – Detected that the host’s draw count has exceeded one hundred, and the system has now opened a new function.]

Bai Qiu’s eyes lit up.

After saving up one hundred draws, the system actually opened a new function?

It seems that not using up all the points directly was the correct choice.

The hoarding players were ecstatic.

[The host can directly convert 100,000 points into advanced lottery tickets. Advanced lottery tickets will draw more rare Heroic Spirits and items.]

[Would you like to convert the points into advanced lottery tickets?]

[Small tip: Accumulating two hundred draws with advanced lottery tickets will also guarantee the acquisition of a Heroic Spirit, but it does not share the draw count with normal draws.]

Alright, wait for me here!

Although it sounds like the possibility of drawing advanced Heroic Spirits has increased, and it avoids the other products overflowing with Magic Jewels, the total number of draws has still decreased.

Now, it’s better to prioritize getting the first guaranteed draw.

“Senpai, be careful, the opponent is also a Servant.”

Mashu shielded Bai Qiu behind her and remained vigilant, ready for the opponent to launch a sudden attack.

“Hey, aren’t you done talking yet?”

Mordred was the first to speak to the opponent.

“A person suddenly appears and speaks so arrogantly from a high position. If I’m not mistaken, you had a relationship with that Fran from Francia, right?”

“Well, if we’re talking about origins, then yes.”

Jeanne Alter shifted her gaze to Mordred below.

“So what?”

“In that case, why did you harm the soldiers of your own country?”

Mordred raised Clarent on her shoulder and looked up at Jeanne Alter, asking loudly.

“Harm? Hahaha!!!”

I hear Mordred’s question, and Jeanne Alter bursts into laughter.

“Don’t make me laugh, they are nothing but accomplices to those executioners. If everything I have done is so unforgivable, then where is God? Why hasn’t God come to punish me, this heretic?”

Jeanne Alter laughs even louder, her expression becoming more terrifying.

After listening to Jeanne Alter’s words, Mordred, fully armed, shakes his head.

“You, you have no control over others’ destinies, you are simply on the path of evil!”

“Oh? Even if I am on the path of evil, the embodiment of sin, what do you plan to do about it?”

“Need I say more!”

Mordred leaps high, sword in hand, stepping on the already dilapidated city wall.

“Of course, I will eliminate someone like you, the embodiment of evil!!!”

Clarent unleashes a burst of red lightning, directly striking at Jeanne Alter on the back of the dragon!

“How laughable!”

Jeanne Alter draws the sword at her waist and meets the attack head-on.

Clang——！！！

The crisp sound of sword blades colliding echoes between the two.

Mordred exerts force with both hands, pressing down heavily.

While Jeanne Alter resists, she waves the flag of the evil dragon with her left hand.

Instantly, pitch-black flames appear out of thin air in the air around Mordred, and the next second they all come rushing towards Mordred!

“Tsk…”

Mordred senses the danger and immediately retreats to avoid the attack.

A mass of pitch-black flames hits Mordred’s armor but is deflected away.

Mordred temporarily lands on the city wall.

“Ratatatatat——！！！”

A series of crisp sounds as a large amount of ammunition pours down near Jeanne Alter.

However, it is blocked by the magical energy barrier in front of Jeanne Alter.

Before Jeanne Alter can give an order, the pitch-black flames automatically follow the path of the bullets!

Boom——！！！

A section of the city wall suddenly bursts into raging flames.

Even though it is a sturdy wall made of soil and rubble, it is still completely burned by this mass of flames.

Emiya Kiritsugu, who has already moved elsewhere, leans against the wall, holding a single-shot pistol loaded with Origin Bullets, silently waiting for the opportunity to attack.

“Roar——！！！”

Seeing his master being attacked, the evil dragon Fafnir finally lets out a fierce roar.

Immediately, it senses the rapidly gathering magical energy in its mouth.

“Not good, that giant dragon is about to launch an attack!”

Mashu immediately stands in front of Bai Qiu, but the shield in her hand never emits its blue light.

“No, I must unleash Noble Phantasm here and protect Senpai…”

Seeing Mashu’s determined appearance, and recalling the scene of her secretly practicing a few days ago whenever she had free time, Bai Qiu reaches out and places her hand on Mashu’s hand gripping the shield.

“…Senpai?”

“Mashu, listen to me first. Using a Noble Phantasm without knowing its true name is very difficult. From now on, the spell for your Noble Phantasm will be ‘Lord Chaldeas.'”

Bai Qiu recites the Noble Phantasm spell that Olga Marie didn’t have a chance to pass on to Mashu.

“Lord…Chaldeas… Thank you, Senpai!”

After repeating it once, Mashu nods and immediately begins chanting the spell with a resolute gaze.

“Noble Phantasm, deploy! Lord Chaldeas!!!”

With the chanting of the spell, a radiant light appears in front of the shield, forming a huge shield that firmly defends the front line!

In an instant, Fafnir’s mouth spews out a black aura resembling hellfire, sweeping towards them!!!
