Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 43

“You think you can defeat me with just that reason?!!!”

Vlad III’s eyes were filled with anger, his limbs bound by the silver chains, and blood slowly seeping from his tightly squeezed arm.

Then, as if the blood had a life of its own, it suddenly turned into sharp red spikes and flew towards Johanna!!!

“If I can’t capture you, then I’ll eliminate you completely!”

The spikes of blood aimed at Johanna’s body, intending to pierce her with absolute force.

“The radiance of the Lord fills the earth!!!”

A holy light descended upon Johanna, and the spikes made of blood turned into nothingness upon coming into contact with the radiance.

“Give up, for when your Noble Phantasm is ineffective against me, the outcome of the battle is already decided.”

Johanna’s gaze was firm as she approached, holding her staff.

“No… I haven’t lost yet!!!”

A crimson radiance, fueled by Madness Enhancement, also appeared in Vlad III’s eyes.

“Even if I have to become such a monster, I will defeat you!!!”

Then, the twisted Grand Duke looked up and chanted:

“Not due to hatred, not due to pleasure, this necessary sacrifice, in order to bring terror to the enemy, even if this body turns into a demon! The Legend of Dracula!!!”

With the sound of bones twisting, Vlad III’s entire body began to undergo a transformation.

His eyes turned blood-red, his fingers elongated, and fangs grew in his mouth.

The silver chains should have securely bound him, but the next second they fell to the ground, and the previously bound Vlad III disappeared without a trace.

“Swoosh——————!!!”

A cold light struck, and Vampire Vlad III swung his sharp fingers.

Johanna, sensing the attack, barely blocked it with her Cross Holy Staff, but was knocked back several meters.

“I will drink your blood!!!”

The Grand Duke continued his fierce attacks, disappearing without a trace whenever Johanna’s silver moon discs were about to strike him.

Then he would reappear from a different direction, launching unexpected attacks.

Johanna could only defend herself constantly, gradually becoming more passive in the battle.

Seeing that the opponent had been pushed to the brink, the transformed Grand Duke opened his mouth, ready to bite Johanna’s fair neck!

“Pitiful monster.”

However, Johanna inserted her Cross Holy Staff into the ground, and suddenly a strong radiance burst forth from the ground!!!

“What…?!”

The radiant barrier sealed Vampire within, rendering his boasted ability to teleport useless.

“What are you planning, Popess?!!!”

“Vlad Tepes, the moment you turned into a monster, you lost control over this land. It is your fatal weakness to abandon your humanity for the sake of victory.”

The holy ground beneath Johanna began to spread, and she, holding the silver Cross Holy Staff, began to chant devoutly.

“I come to kill, I come to save, I come to harm, I come to heal…”

Within the radiant barrier, a scorching brilliance appeared, igniting the entire body of the Vampire, and pale holy flames burned on his body!

“Ahhh!!!!”

The screaming Grand Duke struggled incessantly in the light.

“No one can escape from my grasp, no one can leave my sight, be shattered… the failed ones, the elderly ones, all shall be summoned by me, submit to me, learn from me, obey me…”

Johanna’s chanting deepened the Grand Duke’s agony, making even the powerful Vampire extremely weak at this moment.

“Ahhh, I haven’t lost yet! As long as I’m on my own territory, I won’t lose!!!”

He kept colliding within the cage formed by the light, but he could never escape from this confinement.

“Rest, I will gently make you forget all burdens… forgiveness is here, as a mortal body, I will swear, O Lord, have mercy…”

As the chant ended, the trapped Vampire had already turned into a pile of ashes.

“Even if you have to become a monster, you still want to protect your own territory?”

Johanna shook her head as she looked at the pile of ashes.

“But this is not your homeland. Rest assured and depart, Heroic Spirit of Romania.”

The system carefully split the battle scenes on both sides.

Seeing Johanna turn the tables, the anxious viewers in the live stream finally relaxed.

“The special effects in this battle are really good, not inferior to the other side.”

“The other side finished long ago, we just ended here. In terms of combat effectiveness, they are superior.”

“This is a magical battle here, while the other side is close combat. Magical battles are bound to be slower.”

“Popess fighting against Vampire, a perfect match.”

“Isn’t this battle exciting???”

“Grand Duke: I’m fired up!”

“Does anyone have a recording of that baptism chant just now? I have a friend who wants to use it for evangelism.”

“Just admit that it’s for yourself.”

“System message: ‘Father Li from St. Xavier’s Church’ sent 10 Golden Cruises!”

“Comment: Thank you, streamer and Popess, for spreading the gospel. May the Lord be with you!”

The moment they saw the gifts, the chat room exploded with excitement.

“Oh my goodness, did someone from the church really come?!”

“Is this person here to catch heretics?”

“Is this person for real? Who’s going to check?”

“System message: ‘Father Zhang from the East Overpass Church’ sent 10 Ferris Wheels!”

“Comment: Streamer, would you like to visit my church for a live broadcast? If you need a location for shooting, my church can provide professionals and a venue free of charge.”

Ten animations of Ferris Wheels flashed by, leaving the chat room in disbelief.

“Wait, there are actually real priests coming?”

“The streamer might have caught the attention of the church this time.”

………………

Seeing Mordred and Johanna resolve their crises one after another, Bai Qiu breathed a sigh of relief.

Boom, boom, boom——————!!!

No matter how Mashu attacked, those dead apostles would continue to rush forward and launch their attacks.

“Huff, huff, huff…”

Mashu’s stamina gradually decreased, and she started gasping for breath.

Unlike those Servants, Mashu was just a Demi-Servant who had just started fighting and didn’t even know the name of her Noble Phantasm.

Even so, she still fiercely guarded the front line, not letting Bai Qiu behind her fall into danger.

“These useless creatures keep getting killed one after another.”

Carmilla’s frustrated voice came from deep within the forest.

“I can’t play around anymore, otherwise that witch won’t let me off.”

Whoosh——————!!!

A dark light swiftly flew towards them.

“Senpai, be careful!!!”

Mashu immediately raised her shield to block the attack.

“Hehe, got you.”

A terrifying aura suddenly emanated from behind Bai Qiu.

Soon, a seductive noblewoman’s face appeared behind Bai Qiu.

“Young man, don’t blame me.”
