Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 6

After hearing the system announce that he could do a ten-roll summon, Bai Qiu didn’t hesitate and confirmed it immediately.

“Now, summon!”

[Confirmed. Starting a ten-roll summon.]

[Please remain quiet, the summoning ritual is about to commence.]

Magical Energy from the surrounding ley lines began to converge at Bai Qiu’s feet, gradually forming a silver summoning circle.

“The flow of this massive Magical Energy… where is it coming from?”

Olga Marie noticed something amiss and followed the flow of Magical Energy with her gaze, landing on Bai Qiu who had a serious expression.

“Commoner, what are you doing? Could it be…”

Medusa, who was swinging her scythe, also sensed something unusual.

“Trying to summon here, huh? Looks like you’re underestimating me.”

With a single glance, Medusa’s chain-like locks flew towards Bai Qiu like venomous snakes!!!

Clang—!!!

A massive shield blocked the attack of the chains.

“Don’t even think about harming Senpai!!!”

Mashu’s determined gaze held the shield in front of Bai Qiu, intercepting Medusa’s assault.

“So annoying, little girl!”

Medusa struck her dark scythe heavily towards Mashu once again.

However, Bai Qiu was no longer paying attention to the battle. This time, the formation of the summoning circle was much slower compared to the single summon.

[To speed up the formation of the summoning circle, the host can try chanting the summoning incantation.]

“Huh?”

After hearing the system’s words, Bai Qiu wore an expression of disbelief.

So, you’re telling me I have to chant an incantation for the summon? Is it really that mystical?

[Chanting the summoning incantation can increase the probability of summoning a Servant.]

Damn it!

Why didn’t you say so earlier!!!

Bai Qiu glanced at Mashu beside him.

She was gradually getting overwhelmed in the battle against Medusa. To protect herself, she had to give her all to block every attack.

The situation was becoming dire.

Bai Qiu immediately extended his hand, adorned with Command Seals, towards the summoning circle in front of him. The necessary incantation appeared before his eyes.

“I Hereby Declare. Your Body Shall Serve Under Me. My Fate Shall Be Your Sword. Submit To The Beckoning Of The Holy Grail. If You Will Submit To This Will And This Reason… Then Answer!”

Magical Energy from the ley lines rapidly converged into the summoning circle on the ground.

“An Oath Shall Be Sworn Here! I Shall Attain All Virtues Of All Of Heaven. I Shall Have Dominion Over All Evils Of All Of Hell!”

As expected, with the chanting of the incantation, a whirlpool of Magical Energy appeared in the summoning circle on the ground.

“From The Seventh Heaven, Attended To By Three Great Words Of Power, Come Forth From The Ring Of Restraints, Protector Of The Holy Balance!!!”

With the final incantation, a dazzling light burst forth from the summoning circle on the ground!

“You’ve really angered me, little girl!!!”

Realizing the situation was not in her favor, Medusa angrily raised her dark scythe and brought it crashing down!

“Ugh…”

Mashu endured the tremendous impact and let out a pained groan. She took a step back but gritted her teeth and continued to stand in front.

“Don’t… don’t you dare… harm Senpai…”

“Just a mere Demi-Servant, yet you talk so big!”

Madness filled Medusa’s face as she aimed her dark scythe directly at the unsteady Mashu, launching a merciless attack!

Mashu clenched her teeth, ready to withstand this blow with her shield.

Swoosh.

A mysterious figure swiftly flashed past Mashu’s side. Medusa, who was about to crush Mashu with the attack, suddenly changed her expression and jumped back into the encirclement of chains.

“Who?!”

Medusa, alert and holding her scythe, looked around, only to see a figure sprinting towards her at incredible speed.

“Hmph.”

She made a disdainful sound and then directly let down her long hair under the cloak.

In the light of the fire, her purple long hair seemed like living poisonous snakes, which also turned into new chains and began to surround and intercept that figure.

“Do you really think that you can escape unscathed once you’ve entered my encirclement?”

The figure ignored Medusa’s provocation and continued to evade the chains that were chasing it.

Although the figure was fast, there were just too many chains.

Soon, a large number of chains surrounded the figure in a narrow area. Before the figure could resist, the snake-like chains pierced through its body!!!

Looking at the figure torn apart by the chains, Medusa laughed again.

“Hehe, everything you have done is in vain. Why haven’t you realized it yet? You are just a group of drifters, completely unaware of the cruelty of the Holy Grail War.”

Her gaze turned back to Mashu.

“Young girl, you’re next.”

Just as Medusa was about to attack Mashu again, her body suddenly stopped.

Because the figure appeared behind her again, holding a semi-automatic pistol in hand.

“—————?!”

Without giving Medusa time to react, the other party mercilessly pulled the trigger.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang——————!!!

After a series of gunshots, Medusa jumped onto the ropes made of chains in the sky, preparing to escape quickly.

But before she could take a few steps, she fell unsteadily from the chains.

“Cough cough…”

The figure approached Medusa, who had fallen to the ground, step by step.

She was coughing up blood, despite being a Heroic Spirit, she was seriously injured by a gunshot.

“You…even if you defeat me…you won’t be able to match Saber…”

The other party paid no attention to what she said, and took out another powerful hunting pistol from their pocket, aiming it at Medusa’s head.

Bang————!!!

Medusa, with her destroyed core, unwillingly opened her eyes and gradually disappeared into the air.

The figure put away the gun, then slowly walked towards Bai Qiu.

“The mission is complete, Master.”

At this moment, Mashu and Olga Marie finally saw the appearance of this figure clearly.

He was a middle-aged man.

With white, neat hair and a face that had experienced the vicissitudes of life, his expressionless eyes were filled with a gaze that had already grown indifferent to everything in the world.

For him, the battle with Medusa just now was nothing more than another ordinary mission.

“Thank you, Assassin.”

Bai Qiu nodded.

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll Spiritualize. I will be on guard if there’s any danger nearby.”

“Thank you.”

Before Bai Qiu finished speaking, the man with white hair disappeared into thin air.

“Unbelievable, he really…succeeded in summoning on the first try.”

Olga Marie was still immersed in the incredible shock.

“Hey, are you really just an ordinary person? And the summoning incantation, where did you learn it?!”

Faced with Olga Marie’s questioning, Bai Qiu could only smile bitterly and point to the messy pile of Magic Jewels on the ground.

“Director, do you have any use for these?”
