Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 64

Suddenly, a large number of tentacles flew out from the remains and swiftly attacked Fafnir in mid-air. Before it could react, it was already entangled.

The Wyvern next to Fafnir was not spared either, screaming in agony as it was dragged down.

“Roarrrrrr!!!”

Realizing that it was trapped by this thing, Fafnir let out a deafening roar. It immediately swung its claws to shred the entangling tentacles, but these slippery tentacles seemed endless, still tightly coiling around Fafnir’s body.

An angry Fafnir fought against the tentacles while opening its mouth once again. Massive magical energy began to gather in its chest, even stronger than before.

“That’s right, Fafnir, deliver the final blow to this guy, and calm Gilles down while you’re at it,” Jeanne Alter said triumphantly as she watched Fafnir preparing to attack.

But the next second, Fafnir, which was still emitting immense magical energy, struggled. The magical energy that had gathered in its chest was rapidly dissipating, and there was no trace of magical energy left.

Upon closer inspection, those tiny tentacles were sticking to Fafnir’s scales, continuously sucking its magical energy.

Bai Qiu, who was observing from below, widened her eyes. Is it actually “preying” on Fafnir?! Can this sea monster with the Holy Grail actually prey on mythical creatures?

In the live stream room, the two giant species battling each other caught everyone’s attention, and the barrage of comments intensified.

“Is that creature in the water going to eat that dragon?”

“A rare sight! Wild sea anemone preying on a large lizard!”

“The Western dragon is just a flying lizard. It’s bullying others with its ability to fly. Now it’s met its match, right?”

“This is not just a large lizard, this creature is a famous dragon from Norse mythology.”

“Wait, this feels familiar… Is this a replay of FZ? Weren’t Jeanne and Karna flying in the sky back then?”

“Yeah, bro, you woke up. This is the third season of FZ.”

“That sea monster was already tough to deal with initially, and now it has the Holy Grail. Isn’t it invincible now?”

“System Message: ‘SunnyDragon’ has sent a rocket!”

“Comment: Sir, this is truly an awesome coooool!!!”

“System Message: ‘Eating King’ has sent a golden cruise ship!”

“Comment: Hey, kid, I stabbed this creature to death with a curry stick back then. Now it’s your turn to take a look!”

——–

Jeanne Alter, who sensed that something was wrong, immediately shouted at Fafnir, “Fafnir, get away quickly!”

“Roarrrrrr!!!”

Even though Fafnir wanted to retreat, more and more tentacles flew up from the water, tightly entangling Fafnir.

These small tentacles continuously absorbed Fafnir’s Magical Energy. The more it struggled, the tighter these tentacles coiled around it.

With Fafnir already staggering and about to be dragged down by the sea monster’s tentacles, a burst of crimson Magical Energy suddenly struck!

“Swooshhh!!!”

These small tentacles didn’t have time to retract and were incinerated by the crimson light.

“Squeak squeak!!!”

The tentacles that were burned halfway writhed in pain, emitting piercing screams.

“Shine brightly!!!”

A silver moon disc flew in from afar, bursting with intense radiance!

When those disgusting chunks of flesh touched the pure light, they sizzled and made a “sizzle” sound as if they were being burned.

Even the large tentacles began to sway, causing ripples on the water’s surface!

“Master, are you okay?”

A familiar voice came from a distance, and then the girl wearing armor and holding Clarent ran towards them.

Beside her was Johanna, holding a silver cross staff, her face filled with concern for Bai Qiu.

“Mordred, Johanna-san?!”

Upon seeing the newcomers, Mashu exclaimed in surprise.

Mordred hurriedly ran over, and when she saw Jeanne Alter standing next to Bai Qiu, she immediately took a defensive stance.

“Hey, Dragon Witch! Stay away from my Master!!!”

“Hmph, do you think I enjoy being with this guy?”

Jeanne Alter retorted without hesitation.

“And, can we get this Assassin to stop pointing that weird weapon at me?”

Behind Jeanne Alter, Emiya Kiritsugu quietly appeared and aimed his automatic rifle at Jeanne Alter’s head, ready to shoot at any moment.

“If it were before, I’m afraid you would have been reduced to ashes by the flames of hell, right?”

Jeanne Alter maintained her original arrogant attitude, showing no signs of panic.

“Mordred, don’t worry, she is no longer our enemy now.”

Bai Qiu introduced without any concern to Mordred.

“Huh???”

Mordred looked at Bai Qiu with an incredulous expression, then glanced at Jeanne Alter, and finally received a reassuring look from Mashu.

“Hey hey hey, Master, what were you doing while I was gone? You actually allied yourself with that Dragon Witch who wants to destroy this country? Are you sick?”

“After all, she is not our true enemy, and you just saved Fafnir.”

“What?!”

Mordred was stunned!!!

She immediately looked up at the sky, and sure enough, the Evil Dragon was slowly descending.

Despite being hit by her own Noble Phantasm, there was not a trace of injury on its body, nor was there the cold killing intent it had before. It just stared at her without making any movement.

“I clearly attacked with all my strength, even including it and the big guy behind it. Huh… seems like I was still too far away?”

“But you indirectly saved it, so it’s kind of a lucky hit.”

Bai Qiu said with a smile.

“Damn, I thought I could eliminate both of those big guys in one shot… Is it because my Magical Energy output is not enough?”

Mordred grumbled dissatisfiedly.

After all, until just now, this creature was supposed to be her enemy.

But in the blink of an eye, she was told by her Master that it had become an ally?

Who fights a war like this?

“Hmph, we don’t need the help of enemies.”

Jeanne Alter turned her head defiantly towards Fafnir.

“Fafnir, quickly deliver a fatal blow to that disgusting lump of flesh!”

“Roar…”

Fafnir let out a small growl, seemingly complaining to Jeanne Alter.

“Huh? What kind of attitude is that! Hurry up and eliminate this thing for me!!!”

Jeanne Alter scolded Fafnir unhappily.

Seeing Fafnir’s reluctant expression, Bai Qiu quickly stopped Jeanne Alter.

“It’s not possible to eliminate it this way.”

“Oh? Do you have any better ideas? Let’s hear it then.”

Jeanne Alter looked at Bai Qiu with a distrustful expression.

Seems like she’s saying, “If you can do it, then go ahead.”

“To deal with this sea monster that can regenerate infinitely, we need to eliminate all of its bodies in one go. The problem is, it still has a Holy Grail supplying it with Magical Energy, and its regenerative ability is far beyond imagination. Fafnir alone is probably not enough.”

As Bai Qiu spoke with a serious gaze, Jeanne Alter, who had originally planned to retort, held back her sarcastic remarks.

“And the priority is to limit its growth rate. If it grows too quickly and expands infinitely, we won’t be able to eliminate it all at once.”

“But the opponent’s Magical Energy is so powerful, I’m afraid it’s impossible to seal it with conventional means…”

Johanna said anxiously, expressing her opinion.

Indeed, conventional means won’t work, but there’s someone on-site who can do it.”

“Who?”

As everyone asked in confusion, Bai Qiu’s gaze turned to Jeanne Alter.

“????”

Jeanne Alter was stunned.

“Me???”
