Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 39

“Dang, dang, dang————————！！！”

The swords, stained with black Magical Energy, collided with each other, creating intense shockwaves that even caused the surrounding rocks to collapse and shatter.

Lancelot swung down his sword heavily, but Mordred skillfully avoided it.

The impacted ground sent sand and gravel flying, obscuring the view in front.

The next moment, a red light suddenly struck towards Mordred’s shoulder!

“Ar—thur—！！！”

The ominous red light in the helmet became even more dazzling.

Mordred once again evaded this heavy blow.

Swoosh————————！！！

The sword energy unleashed from the sword cut through all the surrounding trees, causing them to crash down.

“You’ve been shouting ‘Arthur, Arthur’ from the beginning! Don’t casually mention King Arthur’s name in front of me, you Berserker!!!”

Mordred seized the opportunity and quickly closed the distance, then swung the sword with both hands towards the opponent!

“Hong————————！！！”

An inconspicuous tree branch actually blocked Clarent’s attack?!

Lancelot, who was originally unable to dodge, unexpectedly picked up a tree branch from the ground with his other hand, blocking this fatal strike.

“What? Did the tree branch turn into a Noble Phantasm???”

Mordred seemed to immediately realize something.

“Uaaaaaaaaa!!!”

A fierce red light emitted from Lancelot’s helmet, lifting Mordred off the ground with just a raise of his hand!!!

Mordred retreated back to their own side’s position, wearing an unhappy expression.

“Tch, didn’t expect to encounter a Knight of the Round Table, and one who has fallen into Berserker as well, truly outrageous.”

Mordred had already recognized the true identity of the opponent.

“Lancelot, even at this point, you still resent the King. Have some limits to your audacity.”

Mordred readjusted their stance.

“Master, leave this guy to me. After all, I have worked with him before.”

“Hu…alright, I’ll leave it to you, Mordred.”

Bai Qiu nodded.

Since it couldn’t be avoided anymore, Mo-san and this former colleague had to fight.

After all, compared to others, Mordred was more familiar with Lancelot, who was also a Knight of the Round Table.

After receiving Bai Qiu’s permission, Mordred once again engaged in battle with Lancelot.

“Hmph, to start fighting without even declaring war, truly a Berserker who can’t be part of our forces. Since the battle has begun, I can no longer just stand by.”

Vlad III provocatively looked at Mashu, who was holding up her shield, and Johanna standing beside her.

“Are you both going to attack together?”

“Master, leave this one to me.”

Johanna, holding a silver cross staff, stepped forward.

“He exudes an evil aura. As a follower of the Lord, I cannot allow such evil to go unchecked.”

“Be careful, his true name is Vlad III, the prototype of the famous vampire Dracula in later generations.”

Bai Qiu informed Johanna of the opponent’s true name.

Johanna was slightly surprised.

“He is the infamous ‘Impaler’ known for his cruelty?”

Upon hearing Johanna refer to him as the “Impaler,” Vlad III furrowed his brow slightly.

“Popess, I have fought for my country my entire life. The so-called cruelty was merely to intimidate the enemy, and the later generations’ notion of ‘vampire’ is nothing but a slander born out of fear.”

Vlad III didn’t seem as angry as expected.

“But after being bestowed with Madness Enhancement, I have come to find the enemy’s blood quite delicious. Come, Popess, if your so-called faith is enough to dispel evil, then I am the opponent you must overcome.”

He plunged his spear into the ground.

Instantly, numerous spikes emerged from the ground and rapidly attacked Johanna!

Johanna didn’t back down and raised her silver cross staff high.

“I will pray and convey the holy words now!!!”

Silver threads constantly appeared around her, intertwining to form a sturdy barrier of light that blocked all the spikes.

“Senpai, be careful!!!”

Mashu immediately gripped her shield with both hands, completely blocking the spikes that were coming towards them.

Just as Mashu was about to assess the situation, she suddenly sensed something and pushed Bai Qiu aside.

“Swish————————!!!”

An inconspicuous dark light shot out from deep within the forest and silently attacked Bai Qiu’s unguarded back.

“Crack!!!”

With Mashu’s vigilance, she barely managed to block the attack before it hit Bai Qiu with her shield.

Carmilla’s laughter echoed from the depths of the forest once again.

“Hehe, to be able to detect my attack, you truly are an interesting little girl. I can’t wait to taste how delightful your blood will be.”

“I won’t let you harm Senpai even a bit!”

Anger was clearly visible on Mashu’s face.

Even though she always maintained a calm attitude no matter what happened before.

But as soon as Bai Qiu’s safety was threatened, Mashu immediately switched to her current state of alertness.

“Don’t cry later, little girl.”

An ominous sound of “kakaka” came from the forest.

Soon, human shadows began to appear from the shadows of the trees.

Most of these humans were young girls, wearing tattered clothes made of rough cloth. Their faces were pale, staggering as they walked, but their eyes were fixed on Bai Qiu and Mashu’s direction.

No, they were the people who had been attacked by Carmilla!

Bai Qiu clenched her fists and stared ahead.

As a legendary Vampire, Carmilla had the ability to turn others into her servants, just like the Grand Duke.

“Ah kakaka——————!!!”

They let out a ferocious and eerie sound from their mouths, their bloodless faces showing horrifying expressions, and suddenly pounced on Mashu and Bai Qiu like madmen!!!

“Senpai, please be careful yourself!!!”

Mashu immediately raised her shield to counter.

For a moment, the battles of the six Servants dazzled the viewers of the live broadcast.

“Shocking! The real combat scenes of the Round Table Knights, and the strongest in terms of combat power is actually…”

“Lancelot is still strong, it seems difficult to deal with Mo-san, right?”

“After all, Lancelot once shot down a certain Blond king’s plane. As a Berserker, he is indeed powerful with Magical Energy.”

“Oh my, Popess battling against a Vampire, with holy light, binding, piercing, come quickly.”

“Hey, the way you said that sounds weird…”

“The style of the streamer seems a bit off, like a medieval zombie movie? Starting with a shield, relying on equipment drops?”

“So France had a zombie crisis in the past, no wonder there are so few foreigners.”

“System message: ‘Little Rascal of Britain’ sends a rocket!”

“Comment: Real internal bullying phenomenon of the Round Table Knights, those who can’t win are being optimized, save the children!”

“System message: ‘Kind-hearted Citizen Mr. Jin’ sends two treasure maps!”

“Comment: Thanks to the streamer, the anger I had from a broken street lamp suddenly disappeared, delightful!”
