Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 71

The silver radiance and dark aura on Clarent merged together, rushing towards the exposed core of the giant sea monster with an unstoppable force!!!

The black sludge that sensed the crisis immediately gathered and formed several defensive barriers to block the impact of this Magical Energy!

“Crack, crack, crack!!!”

Layer by layer, the black barriers were shattered, and the red lightning tore through everything in its path like a ferocious beast.

Once caught by its fangs, one would be torn into pieces and reduced to ashes.

“——————!!!”

Gilles de Rais, who was inside the core of the sea monster, seemed to sense something and dropped the L’Esprit de l’Escalier he was holding, muttering to himself:

“Jeanne, no matter how hard I try, will you still become an evil enemy in the end? Jeanne, you really are…”

“Roar————————————!!!”

The red lightning broke through the final barrier and instantly engulfed a significant portion of the giant sea monster’s core.

Bai Qiu, who was watching everything from above, finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the sea monster’s core was hit.

When Mordred fired her beam cannon, the live stream instantly became active.

“Oh my goodness, the sea monster got sliced again! This is just heartless!!!”

“This move, it’s like father like daughter, directly hitting the face of the sea monster.”

“Full light pollution, this special effect is amazing.”

“Gas explosion, small-scale scene.”

“Bluebeard Gilles: I’m up, one slash, end of story, anything else to say?”

“Emiya Kiritsugu, signal flare, sea monster, Saber, wide-range beam cannon Noble Phantasm, got it, the protagonist is Mo-san!”

“System message: ‘Britannian Little Rascal’ sends three golden cruise ships!”

“Comment: Dinner for tonight is decided, let’s have grilled squid!”

“System message: ‘Civic-minded Mr. Jin’ sends a Ferris wheel!”

“Comment: This kid really takes after their dad, hope they don’t destroy the Holy Grail later, okay?”

“System message: ‘Church Logistics Department’ sends a treasure map!”

“Comment: Stop the stream, don’t show any more original artworks, or the secret will be out!!!!”

……………

Jeanne Alter rode the Wyvern and flew towards the remains of the sea monster.

The area in front of her was devastated by Mordred’s Noble Phantasm, leaving only the scattered limbs and no signs of movement.

Following the faint Magical Energy fluctuations, Jeanne Alter saw Gilles de Rais standing not far away.

Behind him was the remaining body of the giant sea monster.

“Gilles, you finally decided to show yourself,” Jeanne Alter said with a mocking tone.

“To think that you even wanted to feed me to that ugly thing. You truly are a dangerous person, Gilles.”

“Jeanne! Why don’t you understand my intentions!” Gilles de Rais suddenly became agitated.

“I was so faithful to you, seeking revenge for you and this country, this land! But you stopped me! It’s so painful, so unreasonable!!!”

“It’s you who is unreasonable!” Jeanne Alter interrupted Gilles de Rais’s frantic words.

“You made a wish to the Holy Grail to resurrect that village girl, but when the Holy Grail didn’t respond to you, you created me with the Holy Grail? It’s truly hilarious, so hilarious that I want to burn you to death with flames!”

Saying these words, Jeanne Alter drew her sword and aimed it at Gilles de Rais.

“Just because of your absurd wish, what is the meaning of my existence as a result? As someone without memories, I can only rely on false hatred to burn this country to ashes? And then? Am I supposed to disappear from this point on?”

Jeanne Alter’s words were filled with anger, but one could also sense her inner resentment.

Bai Qiu’s words made her question for the first time whether her existence truly had meaning.

But the fact that she was a copy of that village girl made her instinctively feel uncomfortable.

“Tell me, Gilles, what is the meaning of my existence as someone created by the Holy Grail?” Jeanne Alter asked.

After hearing Jeanne Alter’s words, Gilles de Rais froze, and then he trembled all over before speaking in a low voice:

“Indeed, indeed…Jeanne cannot be resurrected…Jeanne rejected my request, she has been fighting against evil from the beginning. There is no longer any need for a world without Jeanne!!!”

Suddenly, the L’Esprit de l’Escalier in Gilles de Rais’s hand emitted a tremendous amount of Magical Energy!

From the remains of the giant sea monster, small sea monster familiars slowly crawled out and surrounded them from all sides.

“Gilles, you really are boring. At this point, you still want to resist?” Jeanne Alter frowned.

“Then come! If you want to obtain the Holy Grail, step over the body of this representative of evil, the defiler of gods! That is what it means to be a hero, a savior!!!” Gilles de Rais raised his hands high, and a golden cup appeared above his head.

The Holy Grail?!

“Come! If you wish to obtain the Holy Grail, you must step over my body, the body of this wicked representative, the defiler of gods! That is what it means to be a hero, a savior!!!” Gilles de Rais opened his arms, and a large number of sea monsters immediately charged towards him.

Bai Qiu nervously looked around, ready to use the last Command Seal to summon a Servant by his side.

“Boom—!”

Suddenly, a figure flashed beside Bai Qiu, and a shield directly knocked away the oncoming sea demon.

“Senpai, I’m sorry for being late!”

“Mashu?!”

While using her shield to block the other attacking sea demons, Mashu explained to Bai Qiu.

“Johanna-san and Mordred are still on their way here. I came ahead because I was worried about Senpai.”

“Hmph, even the weak Demi-Servant has arrived? Then I’ll take care of things on my end too.”

Jeanne Alter drew her long sword and cut through the sea demons in front of her, and their wriggling bodies were then ignited by black flames.

“This is between me and Gilles. Don’t interfere.”

After leaving these words, Jeanne Alter walked straight towards Gilles de Rais.

“Boom—!”

Several black spears generated from the sky, piercing through the open-toothed sea demons, and then the black flames burned them to ashes.

With an imposing aura, Jeanne Alter walked step by step towards the front.

“You’ve disappointed me, Gilles. I thought of you as a comrade…”

“Squawk—!”

Flames kept igniting on the sea demons, emitting piercing screams, and turning into ashes near Jeanne Alter.

But Gilles de Rais stood motionless in place, as if waiting for Jeanne Alter.

“Thud—!”

A black spear directly pierced Gilles de Rais’ body, and then the flames of hell ignited his body.

“That’s it, Jeanne! You’ve eliminated the embodiment of evil and become the Savior in the eyes of the world! Your radiance still shines!!!”

Gilles de Rais, with his whole body burned by the flames of hell, swayed his body and laughed continuously.

“Gilles, that’s enough!!!”

Jeanne Alter wanted to stop Gilles de Rais’ mad talk, and a black spear immediately pierced his body.

The Book of Lamentation also fell to the ground.

In an instant, all the sea demons burst into pieces and turned into blood mist.

“It’s all over, Gilles.”

Jeanne Alter walked over to Gilles de Rais, who was already on the verge of death.

“…But it’s a pity, Jeanne.”

With the black spear piercing through his body, Gilles de Rais struggled to lift his head.

“…I am not truly evil… Only by defeating that thing… That thing that doesn’t belong to this era… can the true future…”

“Crunch—!”

Suddenly, something directly devoured Gilles de Rais’ entire body.

Then, a terrifying Magical Energy burst out from the remnants of the giant sea demon’s limbs!!!
