Chapter 30: Surely the heavenly punishment will be upon me—
The hundreds of bipedal wyverns that were circling in the air were all the low-level dragon species in the vicinity.
At this moment, a fierce light appeared in their vertical pupils at the same time, and they all let out a strange chirping sound like birds, and then spread their wings and flew downward!
It gives the impression that the sky is suddenly gloomy, as if dark clouds are pressing down, and everyone on the Chaldean side has changed their faces at the same time, and the fool knows what the reason is.
Able to summon all nearby Wyverns in a fraction of the time, and can command dragons by simply waving a banner...... At this moment, they deeply understood what the title "Dragon Witch" meant.
Joan of Arc S. The essence of Alter's abilities is clearly a reversal of the Saint Marda, or the Saint George, and so on, who have anecdotes of dispersing dragons.
In other words, she has a special leadership that enables dragons to obey, and she can control the low-level dragons even by simply waving the flag.
- That's right, the title really has an attribute bonus!
"It's coming......!"
Marie Antoinette pouted, but the French queen did not retreat, but took the initiative to step forward, as if to meet the group of dragons that were swooping down.
"No, Mary, stand down! Your Noble Phantasm can't handle this situation......! Amadeus, who was behind, changed his expression slightly.
Matthew took a deep breath, tried his best to overcome the fear in his heart, glanced at Fujimaru Rika and the director next to him, and no longer hesitated to take a step forward, putting the heavy shield that was one person high in front of him, and his attitude was extremely resolute.
And the real Joan of Arc also waved the holy flag and walked to the side of the shield-wielding girl: "Matthew, let's go up together......"
"Ah...... Good! The shield-wielding girl was stunned for a moment, and then replied hurriedly.
If there is a book, it is long, and if there is no book, it is short.
The hundreds of bipedal wyverns had already been slaughtered, but under the double liberation of the two of them's defensive treasures, they came back as fast as they could, and they were bounced out one after another wailing.
For a while, everyone was temporarily safe, but it was only for this moment.
For the Servants, the bipedal wyverns are all miscellaneous soldiers, even if they are not good at servants, it is easy to deal with three or five bipedal wyverns at the same time, it is simply not a problem.
Otherwise, even a miscellaneous bipedal wyvern can't deal with it, how can he be qualified to become a heroic spirit that is praised by others?
But—
If hundreds of heads are pounced on at one time like this, it will be very troublesome.
Because even the Servant has a limit, facing such a number of bipedal wyverns at one time, even if you can kill them one by one with your combat skills and terrain, you will definitely have to pay some price.
The best solution is to use the Noble Phantasm of mass destruction range to annihilate it at once, or simply flee the scene without fighting such a pointless war of attrition. After all, it's not just these hundreds of bipedal wyverns that are the enemy.
Joan of Arc The hostile servants led by Alter were also present, and if they didn't make a decisive choice, they wouldn't even have a chance to escape.
It's just that they found the seriously injured Ziegfei, and the other party's current state is incapacitated, which greatly slows down everyone's mobility.
However, because if you want to deal with the evil dragon, the dragon slayer is the necessary combat power, which is the most important link, and everyone can't leave him behind...... Not only is it morally unjustifiable, but it also doesn't make any sense.
- After all, what good can it be?
Having given up on the dragon slayers, they were able to retreat with their whole body, but they lost the only means of dealing with the evil dragons, and only delayed the defeat a little. Conversely, if someone voluntarily sacrifices himself, stay in the temple.
Then the others just need to retreat with Siegfried, and wait until they find a way to recover from his injuries, then they have the most powerful trump card.
It's so obvious that you don't even need to think about it, you just have to make a trade-off......
However, the Chaldeans were still not able to make such a choice, and they did not even think so...... But this is also normal, it can be said that they are all the kind of people in the orderly and kind camp, and they do not have the decisive power of such a decisive strong man to break his wrist.
I can't do it by abandoning my companions or something.
The Servants are well aware, but they don't take this lightly to express their opinions, and will only mention them at critical moments or prove them directly with their own actions.
There is no particular reason, except that this is only the first peculiarity, and the Chaldeans must learn to think for themselves and grow for themselves if they really want to save the world.
The dazzling light of the Noble Phantasm turned into an invincible guard, and the group of bipedal wyverns continued to dive down, but they were also constantly bounced out.
But even a defensive Noble Phantasm requires a lot of mana, and there is no reason why it can be kept open all the time. Because Mathew's Master is Rika Fujimaru, the supply of mana has never been too sufficient.
Besides, her real name of the treasure has never been known, and she is still in the state of imaginary treasure, if it wasn't for the temporary name given by the director before, she didn't know what to call when she liberated the treasure.
And although the director can always provide magic power, but Joan of Arc's treasure is not continuous, even if the magic power can be supplied all the time, but as long as the time of the treasure has passed, it needs to be released again to be able to work again.
That gap of interruption is a flaw for the enemy who has a fierce eye and acts decisively, and this is undoubtedly the most fatal.
Seeing that the light of the Noble Phantasm was rapidly dimming, everyone still didn't have time to retreat. And, most importantly, Joan of Arc Alter was visibly impatient.
She stared closely at the people who gradually appeared again in the light, judging that the treasure was about to disappear at this time, so the dark dragon flag in her hand waved down again, pointing straight in the direction of everyone-
"Burn it all...... Fafjnir!! ”
She's really like Joan of Arc, but she's an anti-hero after the reversal. For example, his long hair is deliberately cut short, his clothes are pure black, and his hand is not a holy flag, but a dark banner depicting a dragon......
Such characteristics seem to be silently telling that she is not the saint who never complains, but the dragon witch who takes revenge on France.
Just like now.
The director, who had been keeping a close eye on the enemy on the other side, noticed that Joan of Arc had noticed that Joan of Arc had been paying close attention to the enemy. Alter's behavior, her face suddenly changed: "Oh no, she's summoning that evil dragon!" ”
Everyone's hearts were all at the same time, and they couldn't help but secretly cry bitter.
Fafnir is not comparable to those bipedal wyverns, no amount of bipedal wyverns can compare to an evil dragon, it is a true dragon species, a strange thing that is defined as a "heavenly demon" in Norse legends.
It seems that he hasn't appeared before, and he thought that the evil dragon was not nearby, and everyone was greatly relieved, but they didn't expect that the other party would summon it directly?
Maybe it's time to make a choice......
But a second, two, three seconds passed.
Until Matthew and Joan of Arc's Noble Phantasms dissipated, the two-legged wyverns flew down, and the scene fell into a scuffle for a while, and the evil dragon was not seen.
“……”
“……”
Joan of Arc has always maintained the dragon flag in his hand pointing straight at the target, and it seems that he was at the moment when he gave the command. Alter, her face flushed slightly, and then she gritted her teeth again, and roared directly:
"Fafnir!!"
Voices resounded in all directions, but there was still no movement.
"Great, it looks like that evil dragon shouldn't be nearby, we still have a chance."
The true Joan of Arc waved the banner and knocked over a swooping bipedal wyvern, while her light sideways turn and dodge the sharp claws of the two wyverns. She looked much more relaxed, even a little happy.
Everyone was also determined in their hearts, so they cooperated in an orderly manner, fighting while quickly evacuating in the opposite direction.
Although there are still Servants in the opposing camp, there are still Servants in Joan of Arc. Before Alter gave a new order, they had no intention of acting at all, and just watched coldly as the Chaldeans fled.
"Yes...... Damn it...... Don't be too complacent......"
Joan of Arc S. Alter trembled with anger, but she was also stubborn, feeling that if she changed the command now, she would simply lose face in front of the other party.
No way! In any case, Fafnir must be summoned! …… Didn't that damn stupid dragon warn it that it was never allowed to go too far!
She didn't suspect that something was wrong with Fafner, firstly because she didn't think anyone in this era could threaten the evil dragon, and secondly, if the evil dragon died, she would be able to sense it, after all, the contract link would be broken.
And so—
The witch who gritted her teeth raised the black dragon flag in her hand high, and the dragon pattern on the flag bloomed with a strange ...... in the next moment The black light, as if it could swallow the light.
Any creature in the vicinity could perceive the sudden spread of the extremely powerful sense of oppression, which was the effect of the appearance of an incomparably large vortex of magical power.
"The power of the Holy Grail! She's using the power of the Holy Grail! ”
Chaldean remote support reappeared, though it was only a projection of Dr. Roman, who exclaimed in a panic.
"If that's the case, no matter how far away that evil dragon is, as long as it exists in this world, it will be summoned!"
A very simple example, using the "Command Spell" as an example, you can see that a stroke represents the exercise of a categorical command, and the Command Spell can not only control the action, but also have a strengthening effect.
- Basically, within the reach of the Master's magic, you can use the Command Charm to make the Servant do things that you can't normally do, and you can also do things in the magical field such as space transfer.
And what the spell can do, there's no reason why you can't do it without mastering the power of the Holy Grail itself. Alter was able to do the same when he wielded this immense, time-bending magic.
That is, to transfer Fafnir directly back to his side......
Huh? Huh? Wait, wait!
The battlefield fell silent for a moment, and after a few seconds, the frantic wyverns seemed to wake up from a dream. They let out strange chirps, turned around and fled, and it was only a dozen seconds before they were all gone.
Because the sense of oppression, the huge magic vortex disappeared without a trace in an instant, along with the initiator Joan of Arc · Alter was gone.
It was so abrupt that she disappeared into thin air at once, leaving nothing behind.
"What's going on?" The corners of Rikkami-chan's mouth twitched, and she and Amadeus were supporting Siegfei's body left and right, and under the cover of everyone, they were fighting and retreating.
But who can explain what exactly happened just now? What about the boss?
Dare her unleash the power of the Holy Grail not to summon the evil dragon, but to escape herself? But this can't be justified, what is it that the dominant side suddenly escapes?
The servants on the other side were apparently unaware of what was going on, and fell into a rare stupor.
“……”
“……”
The scene was quiet for a while, looking very embarrassing.
After a while, Director Olga Marie, who had been making up for magic knowledge during this time, wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to improve his qualifications and master a higher level of magic broke the silence.
"I think, I know what's going on...... That Joan of Arc wanted to use the power of the Holy Grail to teleport and pull Fafnir to her side, she should have succeeded, but the effect was reversed......"
She looked at her companion with a look like she had a toothache.
"Because the energy on the other side far exceeds the power of the Holy Grail...... It's like pulling a heavy object with a rope, and the weight of the other party completely exceeds her strength, and instead she is pulled over......"
At this time, the Chaldeans had clearly remembered something.
Late at night two days ago.
Someone said he was going to hunt dragons...... It seems that it is normal for Fafnir to fall into the hands of the other party?
