Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 41

[Beep beep… Now I will report the instructions to the host.]

[Servants summoned through this system can only use ordinary Saint Graph and cannot use any Noble Phantasm other than their current Noble Phantasm.]

[The host can use points to strengthen the current Saint Graph of the Servant, allowing them to use a second Noble Phantasm.]

[The Servant’s Saint Graph can be strengthened multiple times, increasing the number of usable Noble Phantasms, and can be strengthened to the “Grand” level.]

[Pro tip: The points consumed for each strengthening are different, and some Servants require specific items to strengthen their Saint Graph.]

[Beep beep… Confirm again, does the host want to spend 100,000 points to strengthen Mordred’s Saint Graph and unlock the second Noble Phantasm?]

The system quickly explained again, confirming whether Bai Qiu really needed to spend 100,000 points.

Strengthened to the “Grand” level?!

Bai Qiu was startled when he heard the system’s notification.

The “Grand Position Saint Graph” is the “Saint Graph to the World,” far more powerful than the “Saint Graph to Humans.”

Normally, if you want Mordred to become a “Grand Knight,” you can only make Saber become a “Beast.”

But unexpectedly, with the help of the system, it was possible to achieve this step.

However, without even thinking about it, the points required to strengthen to the “Grand Position Saint Graph” would probably be astronomical.

But after hearing the system’s explanation, Bai Qiu suddenly felt that 100,000 points weren’t that painful.

Since the Servant would eventually need to be strengthened, let’s start with Mordred this time.

“Confirmed!”

[Beep beep… The host’s command has been confirmed.]

[Releasing the second Noble Phantasm for the first time requires the use of Magical Energy with Command Seals. Please confirm if the current number of Command Seals is sufficient.]

Why do I have to use one of my Command Seals?

Fortunately, I didn’t use all three Command Seals to recall everyone earlier.

“Ugh…”

Mashu was getting more and more exhausted fighting against those undead humans, and her movements were becoming increasingly difficult.

Both Johanna and Mordred were in extremely dangerous situations, and they couldn’t wait any longer.

Bai Qiu immediately reached out towards Mordred, who was still fighting fiercely with Lancelot in the distance, and the Command Seals on the back of his hand began to glow.

“By the command of the Command Seals, Mordred, the time has come to unleash your second Noble Phantasm!!!”

(TN: maybe this is so called ancension on the FGO game?)

—————-

“Dadadadada——!!!”

A series of crisp gunshots rang out on the outskirts of the valley.

A Wyvern fell to the ground in response, but another one immediately pounced forward.

“Tsk.”

Emiya Kiritsugu moved swiftly while preparing to replace the drum magazine.

How many of them is this already?

He couldn’t remember, but he knew he had to hold these guys back.

“Whoosh——!!!”

An arrow whistled from afar, and Emiya Kiritsugu, who was running, immediately dodged to the side.

The arrow grazed Emiya Kiritsugu’s chest and flew past. If he had been a second slower in his evasion, he would have been pierced by the arrow immediately!

On a nearby mountaintop, a girl with a longbow strung another arrow, aiming at the battlefield below, which was surrounded by Wyverns.

“Run to your heart’s content, and then die. That is the ultimate fate of prey!”

She, too, was bestowed with the attribute of Madness Enhancement by Jalter. At this moment, she changed from her once gentle personality to someone who only knew slaughter.

“Roar——!!!”

A large number of Wyverns spotted Emiya Kiritsugu’s whereabouts and roared as they pounced towards him.

Emiya Kiritsugu, behind cover, furrowed his brow, put down the unfilled firearm, and took out a small knife from his pocket to prepare for battle.

At this moment, a agile figure appeared in front of him.

“Thud——!!!”

The Wyverns fell from the sky like kites with broken strings, crashing down at an unimaginable angle.

“Are you alright, Assassin!”

Standing in front of Emiya Kiritsugu was Saint Martha.

At this moment, her arms manifested a pair of silver divine gauntlets, exuding a holy radiance.

“I heard some noise nearby, so I came looking for you. You really are here.”

“You shouldn’t have come.”

Emiya Kiritsugu quickly replaced the drum magazine, loaded the gun, and directly shot down the other two Wyverns.

“Do you think you can hold back these dragons on your own, let alone the other enemy Servants?”

Martha jumped high, stepping on the surrounding stone walls, and delivered a powerful dragon punch to the lower jaw of a Wyvern.

Crack!!!

The lower jaw made a crisp cracking sound as the force was so strong that it pierced through the skull, instantly killing the Wyvern without a sound.

“My task is only to distract them and prevent them from interfering with Master’s plan.”

Emiya Kiritsugu threw several throwing knives, accurately hitting the eye sockets of a Wyvern, adding two more kills.

“The rest is beyond my control.”

“Are you planning to sacrifice yourself, Assassin?”

Martha’s fists are just as powerful as Emiya Kiritsugu’s hidden weapons and firearms. Every Wyvern that dares to approach is instantly killed with a single punch.

“I just took the best course of action, without considering or needing to consider anything else,” Martha said.

Emiya Kiritsugu raised his Calico M950 again and started shooting.

“If the course of action is to sacrifice yourself, then I believe Master would never allow such a plan!” Martha turned to look at Emiya Kiritsugu.

“Oh? Why do you think the young man would think that way?”

Sometimes, sacrifices must be made to achieve a goal. The young man should understand something so simple, shouldn’t he? Why is this Saint so certain that the young man wouldn’t think that way?

Emiya Kiritsugu suddenly became curious about the answer.

“Because he summoned me and the Popess. The fact that he can summon us means that he is the chosen one,” Martha said with a determined expression.

“The chosen one would never abandon any companions.”

“Companions…” Emiya Kiritsugu murmured.

For Emiya Kiritsugu, this word is unfamiliar, luxurious, and distant.

Servants are just tools, to be discarded after use.

Even if the young man has been friendly to him, they are still just a Servant and Master.

Not companions.

With the wailing of the Wyverns, Martha’s iron fist swung once again.

“Don’t worry, the young man will come to us. Before that, let’s do our best to hold on!”

The Wyverns roared in the sky, and the enemy Archer in the distance kept aiming at them. Their Magical Energy was running low and wouldn’t last much longer.

But since this Saint said so, let’s trust her words for now.

“Boom——————!!!”

Suddenly, a crimson lightning bolt soared into the sky from the valley behind them, illuminating the entire sky!!!
