Anchor, Stop Pretending, You're in Chaldea - Chapter 75

Mordred sat on the ground, while Bai Qiu stood in front of her.

The conversation between the two was carefully recorded by the camera, and the barrage in the live chat started flying rapidly.

“Lunar·Master·Piece!!!”

“I feel like I’ve seen this episode somewhere before. The composition seems familiar.”

“Of course, Lunar Masterpiece wouldn’t miss it. Double fans are ecstatic.”

“What on earth are you guys obsessing over?!!!”

“The Magecraft of the Demon God Pillars seems to have something interesting, but it’s a shame we couldn’t see Mo-san’s dream. There’s probably Saber in it, right?”

“It will probably be added in the main episode, so let’s wait and watch the whole thing then.”

“The host’s way of speaking sounds like some kind of PUA technique, doesn’t it?”

“It seems we need some unique techniques to deal with the Little Rascal.”

“System message: ‘Magical☆Meri’ sent a rocket!”

“Comment: I see, so as long as we do this, we can successfully tame that rebellious knight? What a vivid lesson!”

…………

“But Master, why weren’t you affected?”

Mordred looked at Bai Qiu in confusion and then glanced at Mashu, whom she had mistaken for King Arthur earlier.

Martha, who had just punched herself, also seemed unaffected.

In the distance, the sounds of Johanna and Tonbi’s battle could be heard.

“Huh?! Am I the only one affected by this Magecraft?”

“Well, we all have Magical Energy after all.”

“But I have Magical Energy too! I’m a Saber with strong stats in every aspect, and my Magical Energy is at B-rank!”

Mordred stood up defiantly and then looked at Mashu.

“Mashu, do you have Magical Energy too?”

“Uh, yes…”

Mashu nodded sheepishly.

“It seems that Senpai wasn’t affected because of me.”

“Thank you, Mashu.”

Bai Qiu immediately expressed gratitude to Mashu.

“Oh, it’s nothing. I’m happy to be able to help Senpai.”

“What’s the level of your Magical Energy?”

Mordred didn’t want to hear all this. She just wanted to know the specific value.

“Level? My Magical Energy is marked according to numerical values… It should be A.”

“A?!”

Mordred was stunned and immediately looked at Martha beside her.

“And what about you?!”

“Me? My Magical Energy should be at the EX level, and Johanna over there is also EX.”

“E… EX!!!”

It felt like a bolt from the blue.

Mordred turned to stone right where she stood.

Mo-san was shocked for an entire year.

“Why… why is my Magical Energy so low?! I’m starting to regret not responding to the summoning as a Ruler class. Master, summon me again right now and let me use a Ruler’s Saint Graph too!!!”

“Don’t talk nonsense, Mordred…”

With her personality, she would be a terrible match for a Ruler anyway, right?

But Saber did use a Ruler’s Saint Graph, and as a clone of King Arthur, Mo-san had the potential to become a Ruler, give or take?

“Boom——————————!!!”

A scorching beam of light shot out from the eyes of the Demon God Pillars.

Mashu raised her shield again and blocked it.

It seems that most of the Servants have regained their activity, and the Demon God Pillars have stopped spreading Magecraft-style.

“What foolish Heroic Spirits, the extinction of humanity is inevitable, why don’t they wake up !!!”

Amdusias’s tone gradually became angry.

“So annoying!!!”

Mordred immediately charged forward and slashed with her sword, leaving a new scar on it.

“You, who keep playing strange music in my head, shut up!!!”

Then Mordred turned around and prepared to swing her sword at the Demon God Pillars again!

“Boom——————————!!!”

Suddenly, black flames erupted without warning, sending Mordred flying away!

“Mordred——————!!!”

Mashu immediately caught Mordred as she flew back.

In the eyes of everyone, Jeanne Alter, overflowing with black Magical Energy, was walking towards them.

Her eyes were full of hatred, and the Evil Dragon flag in her hand had been ignited by the flames.

“France has ended, and everything will be consumed by the flames of hell…”

The pitch-black flames flew towards them as she waved her flag, and Johanna and Mashu immediately began to defend.

“Boom————————!!!”

A violent explosion blasted the ground around them, creating a huge crater.

“Is she insane? This Dragon Witch!”

Mordred exclaimed discontentedly.

“It seems that she has fallen deep into her own dream, completely unaware of what is happening inside her dream.”

Johanna raised her silver cross staff again and constructed a temporary barrier.

“The Demon God Pillars were already annoying enough, and now that Dragon Witch sees us as enemies, it’s really troublesome.”

Martha sighed.

“Master, if necessary, I can approach her with my Noble Phantasm and use ‘Origin Bullet’ to destroy her Spirit Core.”

Emiya Kiritsugu looked at Bai Qiu, waiting for his command.

“No, we can’t give up on her yet.”

Although Jeanne Alter is currently using the Ruler Saint Graph, she seems to be the type that is easily influenced.

“Senpai, she seems to be burning her Saint Graph to gain Magical Energy, she will disappear soon if this continues!”

Indeed, if we just leave her alone and retreat quickly, Jeanne Alter will disappear as her Saint Graph burns out.

We can come back later to deal with the Demon God Pillars.

Although we will lose Jeanne Alter’s combat power, we can avoid direct confrontation with such a powerful Jeanne Alter and the Demon God Pillars.

No matter how you think about it, this plan is the optimal solution.

But…

Bai Qiu looked at the Holy Maiden engulfed in black flames before him, her eyes blinded by hatred, eagerly awaiting to burn everything, including herself.

Such a sight is truly heartbreaking.

“If I give up on her here, it would be a betrayal to this ally. Regardless, I have to give it a try. Can everyone agree?”

Bai Qiu turned back to look at the Servants.

After hearing Bai Qiu’s decision, everyone smiled.

“We’ll treat that Dragon Witch the same way. Master, you truly are the chosen one…”

“Hmph, a little mischief won’t hurt.”

“By the way, she put in quite a bit of effort during the battle with that giant sea monster earlier.”

“Senpai, please give the order!”

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Bai Qiu finally made up his mind and immediately began to plan.

“Mordred, you’re in charge of suppressing her head-on.”

“Leave it to me!”

“Martha, you come from the side to assist Mordred and ensure the opponent is suppressed.”

“Understood!”

“Mashu, Johanna, you both fight against the attacks of the Demon God Pillars and try to delay them as much as possible!”

“We’ll handle it! Tonbi, you need to contribute too.”

“Squeak squeak————————!”

“Emiya Kiritsugu, you provide support on both sides and activate your Noble Phantasm when necessary.”

“Got it.”

After receiving the affirmation of everyone, Bai Qiu looked resolutely at Jeanne Alter, who had already lost her sanity under the Demon God Pillars.

“Our goal is to rescue the Dragon Witch and defeat the Demon God Pillars. Everyone, lend me your strength for the final push!!!”
