Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 63

“Boom——————!!!”

As the final part of the castle crumbled, the colossal sea monster revealed its true form and began voraciously devouring everything within its reach with its tentacles.

“This is… Gilles?!”

Jeanne Alter stared at the grotesque behemoth before her in disbelief.

Even though Gilles was an outright heretic, she couldn’t fathom how these contorted masses of flesh were connected to him.

“Senpai, it’s incessantly feeding on its surroundings! If we allow it to continue like this, it won’t be long before it grows to an indomitable extent!”

Mashu promptly issued a warning.

Bai Qiu furrowed their brow.

They were well aware of that, but relying solely on Martha and Mashu would be insufficient to handle this sea monster.

However, it wasn’t yet time to utilize the final Servant slot.

After all, there was still that woman present!

With that thought in mind, Bai Qiu turned to Jeanne Alter.

“How about a temporary truce? If this France is annihilated, it will be too late for everything.”

“Huh? What are you talking about? I planned to obliterate this France from the start. Why should I have a truce with you?”

Jeanne Alter directly crossed her arms and countered Bai Qiu.

“And just now, it was merely… going with the flow! Yes, just going with the flow!”

Sigh…

At this point, Jeanne Alter still maintains that awkward demeanor.

Bai Qiu sighed helplessly, then rallied their spirits and spoke earnestly to her.

“Even if we are to destroy France, it should be you personally fulfilling this revenge, not someone else, right? And as long as we can stop this creature, I will prove to you that you are not Jeanne, and I will not go back on my word!”

Saying these words, Bai Qiu took a step forward, causing Jeanne Alter to immediately retreat in panic.

“You… you do have a point. Indeed, France can only be destroyed by me, the Dragon Witch. How could I let Gilles summon this unknown creature to destroy France!”

Then Jeanne Alter seemed to have figured things out and looked at Bai Qiu.

“Fine, I will temporarily agree to your alliance.”

“Thank you!”

Bai Qiu reached out their hand towards Jeanne Alter.

“Hmph, it’s too early to shake hands now.”

Jeanne Alter immediately refused and then raised the Evil Dragon flag in her hand.

The sky resounded with the roars of Wyverns, and then countless Wyverns converged from all directions above Jeanne Alter’s head.

Then, Jeanne Alter waved the Evil Dragon flag towards the enormous sea monster in front of her.

“Go, my familiars, devour the flesh of this giant beast!!!”

“Roar——————!!!”

Thousands of Wyverns flew towards the sea monster, roaring.

The claws of the Wyverns began tearing at the body of the sea monster, splattering black-green, foul-smelling blood from the torn areas. The Wyverns that were stained with the blood immediately fell and sank into the water.

At the same time, some underwater tentacles began entangling the Wyverns in the sky, pulling them down and engulfing them in the mass of flesh.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the scene was extremely brutal.

However, even if the body of the sea monster was damaged, it quickly regenerated.

Soon, the number of Wyverns visibly decreased by half, and the remaining Wyverns were still holding on, but the situation looked grim.

“We can’t continue like this, quickly call back these Wyverns!”

Watching the brutal battle before them, Bai Qiu immediately shouted at Jeanne Alter.

Continuing to attack like this will only turn into a buffet for the enemy, and it will backfire!

“Are you underestimating my familiars?”

“This sea monster has extremely strong regenerative abilities. Continuing like this will only lead to the Wyverns sacrificing themselves in vain.”

“No matter, my familiars are infinite anyway, I just need to use the power of the Holy Grail…”

Jeanne Alter paused for a moment when she reached this point, realizing only now that the Holy Grail was already inside the body of this sea monster and she no longer had access to it.

“Cough…these are just some familiars, it doesn’t matter much.”

She forcibly concealed her previous loss of composure and once again raised the Evil Dragon flag in her hand.

“Come forth, my servant, Evil Dragon Fafnir!”

“Roarrrrrrrr!!”

A loud roar came from a distance, and a gigantic Evil Dragon was rapidly flying towards them in their field of vision!

“Senpai!”

Seeing the Evil Dragon flying towards them, Mashu instinctively raised her shield to protect Bai Qiu.

Martha and Tarasque also entered a state of readiness, keeping a close eye on the Evil Dragon.

Evil Dragon Fafnir flapped its enormous wings and landed next to Jeanne Alter, emanating a powerful magical energy that was on par with the sea monster.

It also stared directly at Bai Qiu and the others below, continuously emitting low growls.

“Fafnir, for now, they are not enemies. Your enemy is this giant creature before us. Although it was summoned by Gilles, I do not approve of seeking revenge on me, its master, in this way.”

Jeanne Alter pointed her sword at the sea monster that was still slaughtering the Wyverns.

“Go forth, my servant, and annihilate these wretched piles of flesh!”

“Roarrrrrrrr!!”

Fafnir let out a deafening roar and immediately flapped its wings to take to the sky.

The powerful air current forced Bai Qiu to hold onto Mashu’s shield to avoid being blown away.

“Senpai!”

Mashu’s hand quickly grabbed Bai Qiu’s arm.

“Are you okay?”

“Thanks, I’m fine.”

Bai Qiu looked up at Fafnir, the Evil Dragon who should have been a formidable enemy but had now become a powerful weapon against the sea monster that had absorbed the Holy Grail and Gilles de Rais.

They could only hope that Fafnir would be able to restrain this creature.

Fafnir, soaring into the sky, opened its mouth wide, and a massive amount of magical energy began to gather within its body.

Then, a tremendous surge of magical energy erupted from its mouth!

Boom!!

The sea monster that was hit immediately had a large hole torn in its body, and the foul-smelling blood splattered everywhere!

Many Wyverns immediately dodged and flew to Fafnir’s side, continuously roaring at the sea monster before them.

“Squeak!!”

The massive body of the sea monster trembled, and then it directly lost its balance and slowly began to fall.

“Did it work?!”

Mashu and Martha showed expressions of surprise on their faces.

Even Jeanne Alter burst into laughter.

“Hahaha, even with the Holy Grail, it’s nothing more than a pile of ugly flesh. How could it stand a chance against my Fafnir? It’s not even worth worrying about!”

Only Bai Qiu remained silent, staring intently at the sea monster that appeared to have been defeated.

Suddenly, hundreds of thin tentacles flew out from the pierced body of the sea monster, heading towards Fafnir in mid-air!
