Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 65

“May this place be illuminated by light!”

Johanna’s silver cross staff emitted a silver radiance, then struck the ground by the shore.

Immediately, a magic circle on the ground lit up, and the Magic Crystal placed at the center of the circle began to emit Magical Energy.

“Whooshhh!!!”

A tentacle covered in slime suddenly lunged towards Johanna.

“Tarasque!!!”

Accompanied by Martha’s call, Tarasque spewed a fierce flame towards the tentacle.

“Boom!!!”

The moment the flame made contact, the tentacle writhed in pain, then sank back down.

“Are you okay?”

Martha protected Johanna in front of her.

“Thank you.”

Johanna looked into the distance.

“This spot is set up, let’s go to the next location.”

Afterwards, Martha and Johanna ran towards the next spot together, while Tarasque followed suit after spewing a flame towards the massive sea monster.

They quickly arrived at the next spot, and Johanna raised her silver cross staff.

“Block the evil!”

Another silver magic circle formed on the ground by the shore, and Johanna prepared to secure it with the Magic Crystal.

But suddenly, the ground beneath Johanna’s feet began to shake, and a huge tentacle burst out of the water, splashing water onto the shore!

Countless green eyes on the wet tentacle stared at Johanna and Martha below, and after observing the silver magic circle on the ground, it suddenly slammed downwards!

“Gleam with radiance!”

Silver threads appeared in the air above Johanna’s head, tightly entangling the tentacle.

“Roar!!!”

Tarasque spewed another flame, but it had no effect on the massive tentacle.

Martha swung her silver sacred gauntlet and fiercely struck the tentacle!!!

Just as the gauntlet was about to hit the tentacle, the tentacle suddenly extended countless small tentacles outward, preparing to entangle Martha.

“Ha!!!”

Martha stopped moving forward in time and instead turned the power of her fist into speed.

“Bang!”

In an instant, the light near Martha’s right fist even appeared to distort, and then all the tentacles near Martha were torn apart as if by an invisible force!

Then, a huge hollow appeared at the bottom of this tentacle in front of the right fist.

The tentacle began to shake violently, but it gradually lost strength, slowly sinking down, bound by the silver threads.

Seeing the danger temporarily averted, Johanna breathed a sigh of relief, and then placed the Magic Crystal in her hand at the center of the magic circle.

After waiting for the magic circle to be fully activated, Johanna finally relaxed.

Using her abilities to set up a barrier around the sea monster, preventing it from expanding its territory.

But to trap such a huge sea monster, the temporary barrier could not resist for too long. Even with the use of the Magic Crystal, it could only be maintained for a while.

“Hey, are you worrying again?”

Martha looked at Johanna, who was bowing her head to the side.

“Sorry…”

“Well, this plan is a bit risky, to be honest, I think defeating this guy in front of us is no different from a miracle. If it’s an Evil Dragon or something, there’s no need for all this trouble, just a prayer is enough.”

Martha said bluntly.

“Huff…”

Tarasque, who was next to them, let out a low growl in dissatisfaction.

“But it seems like our Master is someone who can create miracles. After all, he was able to convince that Dragon Witch, how could he be an ordinary person?”

“Even now, I can’t believe that Dragon Witch actually helped us. Weren’t we enemies before in that castle? What happened between you all in there?”

Johanna asked curiously.

“Well, it’s hard to explain for now. I’ll tell you when there’s a chance later.”

Martha pondered for a moment and chose to temporarily give up.

“Okay, then I’ll bring Mordred along to listen when that time comes.”

“Huh? That rebellious knight? I thought she would find it boring.”

“Actually, from our interactions with her, she’s the type who enjoys having fun…”

As they continued running towards the next location, the two of them talked and Johanna’s gaze focused on the distance, where the other Servants were fighting the sea monster.

At this point, all we can do is trust in Master’s plan.

————

“Drink ah!!!”

With a swift slash, a wriggling tentacle in front fell down.

“Hey, Master, how much longer do we have to wait?”

Mordred waved Clarent in his hand and cut off another tentacle.

“Hold on, Johanna will let us know when she’s done with Tonbi.”

Bai Qiu stood anxiously by the shore, watching the distance.

Although this plan was improvised, I’m not sure if it will really succeed.

Even if the Emperor himself came, the bounded field will probably be shattered by this monster in no time.

Not to mention if our King’s curry stick can actually take down this monster, that’s still unknown.

After all, it has the power of the Holy Grail, and the growth rate of this sea monster far exceeds that of the Four Battles back then.

We can only let Johanna control its range first, and then figure out a way.

“System, how many points do I have now?”

【Beep beep beep – query in progress, query successful!】

【The host’s current live points are 98331 points.】

【98 draws available at the moment.】

【56 draws left until the next guaranteed Heroic Spirit.】

【Beep beep… Detected abnormal fluctuations in the ley lines near the host’s location.】

【Friendly reminder: Heroic Spirits drawn at this time will have significantly reduced Saint Graph strength. Please consider carefully, host.】

“…”

Bai Qiu was stunned.

What is this? How can this happen?

【Does the host want to draw now?】

“No, don’t draw!!!”

Bai Qiu said irritably.

Significantly reducing the strength of the Saint Graph, meaning turning Odin into a dog-level Servant?

And then I have to use points later to strengthen the Saint Graph of the summoned Heroic Spirit?

This is ridiculous!

“Take this!!!”

Jeanne Alter swung her longsword towards the sea monster!

A black spear appeared and pierced through several tentacles of the sea monster.

The hit tentacles were engulfed in black flames, even if they writhed in pain and submerged into the water, it was futile, eventually turning into a pile of black ashes.

“Hmph, just a mere Gilles, still trying to resist me?”

Jeanne Alter smirked and extended her hand again, the black spear appearing once more.

“Boom!!!”

Suddenly, the ground beneath her feet cracked open!

Several large tentacles jutted out of the ground!!!
