The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 434 Don't be afraid, we Chaldea people aren't good people.

"Huh? Why worry about that?"

Plerati seemed to have heard something incredibly funny, and her petite frame nearly doubled over with laughter—

Alright! This one is quite the expert at making fun of things. She's probably just hoping to give other non-friendly factions the impression that "Oh my god, Chaldea is so terrifying!" Look at you ignorant and foolish enemies, even the Demon King's servants are groveling under Chaldea's tyranny and being driven around at will. Why don't you chickens and dogs quickly surrender and lay down your arms?

Just as the black magician's wicked ideas were gushing out like a torrent of dark water, laughing wildly, Emiya shattered her sweet dream with a single punch:

"Please stop for a moment! You need to ensure there's no risk of things getting out of control."

"Out of control? What's out of control?"

Plerati covered her head and pouted, feeling her enthusiasm suddenly drop. It seemed that in her view, "risk" and "fun" were directly related. Once a lot of official jurisdiction and restrictions were added out of nowhere, eliminating the possible risks, then she would undoubtedly have less fun!
Emiya, too lazy to bother with this little brat who shared too many similarities with BB except for her figure, solemnly emphasized:

"You don't actually think that the Demon God Pillars are just ordinary life forms, do you? According to current information, even the relatively 'lower' nameless Demon God Pillars, after combining with dragon genes in the Roman Singularity, produced a variety of mutated individuals, exhibiting extremely high combat power. Without other assistance, at least a Servant army would be needed to barely suppress them."

“Look at this sea area again. We haven’t finished exterminating those sea monsters yet. If you create a fake Demon God Pillar and it gets out of control due to the remaining dragon genes of marine life, the consequences will be unimaginable!”

“That’s right. Although a single Demon Pillar is superior to a Servant but inferior to a God or Immortal, its essence as a life form is still of a higher level,” Nuwa also felt the same way. During her research, she discovered many incredible properties of the Demon Pillar. “Its spirit base is of excellent quality, which means there is plenty of room for performance improvement; it also has a considerable degree of computational ability, which means it is easy to generate advanced intelligence. If you hybridize it with a fish, you might be able to produce a super deep-sea diver?”

Plerati, who had specifically studied the Cthulhu Mythos, objected, "The Deep Ones are too weak; they should at least be at the Dagon level!"

"Is that the point?!" Emiya couldn't help but control his strength and punch the black magician on the forehead, gently waking her up.

"Ouch!"

Prellati seized the opportunity to feign pitifulness and began rolling around on the ground like a rogue, but Emiya's gaze remained cold and unmoved. Only then did she get up to cover her embarrassment and say, "There are readily available ways to control the risks, have you all forgotten?"

She muttered to herself, "It's that Beast. We Chaldea just subdued Draco not long ago. Doesn't she have a lot of experience controlling the Demon Pillars—oh, that monster Hathaway?"

Yes, Draco!

Emiya opened his mouth as if to speak, but then stopped himself. He had actually found a perfect solution for her!
Draco is indeed adept at dealing with Demon Pillars... In fact, her former familiar, the Demon Beast Hell, was created by combining dragon genes with Demon Pillars, so it wouldn't be wrong to consider that thing as a "Dragon Demon Pillar".

In the Black King's dragon lair, the sea monsters contain a large amount of dragon genes. If any of the Demon Pillars go out of control, Draco can simply devour them, solving the problem. Even if many go out of control, they'll just be Draco's meal.

"Right, right?" Noticing the change in Emiya's expression, Prierati's face lit up with joy, suddenly feeling that there was hope that her "brilliant idea" would be implemented—

"I remember before you came you were worried that this world would also give rise to beings like the Beast? Now, use the Beast to defeat the Beast, use the Demon Beast to deal with the Demon God Pillar, and use dragons to counterbalance dragons! Mutual generation and restraint, isn't that wonderful?"

God, they're supposed to be mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining!

Although Emiya didn't particularly like the Dark Magician's mischievous nature, he had no reason to refuse Plerati's proposal this time. Considering the abnormal weather changes in the Calm Belt and the unusual activity of the "Key," it was possible that Chaldea had modified the dragon veins of the North Sea's marine life, causing Yaobikuni, who was preparing to fuse with the Black King's corpse, to become impatient.

That nun, in her haste, might take even more radical measures, perhaps even recklessly initiating a "sublime ascension" like Charlemagne did in the Frankish Singularity...

Thinking of this, Emiya felt it necessary to contact Constantine and the Servants to expedite the plan, so he reluctantly agreed. As for the potential impact on Chaldea's public image caused by the large-scale appearance of the Demon Pillars, that could be addressed later.

"walk slowly."

Regina bent down from the side of the ship, scooped up a handful of seawater, and gently spread her fingers. The clear water flowed through the gaps between her fingers and returned to its destination. Before her, the cold, dark, endless ocean churned with endless white waves. Beneath the turbulent surface, she could vaguely perceive the regularity of magic and rare alchemical solutions spreading out, combining with the flesh and blood of ferocious beasts soaked in the seawater to form factors invisible to the naked eye, and they were connecting with each other to build a vast matrix.

That's the dragon vein that Chaldea is setting up.

This is an incredibly advanced technology. In the past, even building an alchemical matrix on a large scale, both on the surface and underground, would have been impossible. However, after experiencing multiple singularities and referencing many things, Chaldea has iterated on this construction technology many times, resulting in a huge breakthrough in its form...

There's a saying that goes, "How can a dragon vein be such an inconvenient thing?"
As the random thoughts in Regina Reif's mind gradually dissipated, she refocused her attention. Ever since the moment the weather in the calm zone suddenly changed and a storm broke out, she had felt a distinct calling etched into her blood.

Bloodline Summoning.

Regille knew this term. When a powerful dragon revives, it will cause a strong reaction in its offspring, such as further activating the bloodline within her and further stimulating her power... And there is no other such being besides the Black King in this sea, who is the source of her direct bloodline.

She was absolutely certain of this. Not long ago, she heard ancient chanting echoing in her ears, and her vision would occasionally flash before her eyes to the towering bronze pillars, the magnificent temple, and even the thousands of dragons prostrating themselves in worship from all directions. In addition, she felt a "swelling sensation" surging through her body... All these reactions were far more intense than the combined reactions she had experienced during the past five years in the Spirit Tomb.

"You are experiencing an 'awakening'."

Someone suddenly spoke to her in her ear.

"I know."

Rachel Love was startled and cautiously turned around to look in the direction of the sound... No one was there.

She lowered her head slightly and saw that it was Melyuchina who had flown onto the deck at some point...

It's really strange that this person's height hasn't changed at all.

"What do you mean by that look?" Mei Liuqina felt that the other person was unintentionally mocking her short stature.

"It's nothing, you just suddenly said that to me—"

Melyuchina's brief reply was as economical as gold: "Oh, nothing. You're nurturing a dragon's body. Just a casual reminder, no need to thank me." With that, she turned and left. Regille was taken aback, realizing that Melyuchina had only said a few words as she passed by and had no intention of engaging in a serious conversation with her fellow clansman. Fine, I wasn't planning on thanking you anyway…

Regina, somewhat annoyed, saw Meliuchina turn and lunge at the approaching Emiya, only to be caught in mid-air by his Undying Grip. The little dragon could only thrash and thrash helplessly in the air. Seeing this, the white-haired girl's lips curled into a cheerful smile.

In a way, she found Meiliuqina quite amusing.

"How are you feeling after participating in the activity with Nono and the others?"

When Emiya asked, Regina felt the sharp gaze of the meliuchina in his hand, but the girl swayed and twisted her waist to the other side of Emiya in a daring manner. She nodded and said:
"It's alright, it's like a real-life competitive tournament. The only downside is that the monsters spawn in the sea, but Miss Erii seems to be having a lot of fun—she can set fires all the way through the sea, turning it into a sea of ​​fire."

Recalling the scene not long ago where flames danced and white light rose everywhere on the sea, burning the sea monsters to the point that not even fish bones remained, Regina Reeves felt a pang of sympathy.

"Really? I think I can imagine it."

Before Emiya went to find the white-haired girl, he heard Nono complain that Erii had gone too far and had overused the power of Uesugi Kenshin within her. After she finished, she fell asleep on the spot, and Nono had to carry her back to the bedroom.

Regina looked at him again with a hesitant expression. "Also, I sensed a very strong bloodline summoning. The Black King's corpse seems to have awakened... I think there's a possibility it has broken the seal. Could that Yaobikuni also be waiting for an opportunity to make her move?"

“I know, I’ve talked to Constantine about this. He said our plan was originally prepared for this,” Emiya said, pulling the girl toward the bow of the ship, where the Red Futh was gradually picking up speed. “Yaobikuni is trying to use the Black King in conjunction with some kind of ritual to elevate herself, but we have already destroyed a quarter of her ritual site—the North Sea part—and even turned it into our own.”

"Take it for your own use? Does that mean Spirit Origin Ascension?"

"Yes and no. The Spirit Origin Ascension was to conduct enhancement experiments on most of you, while also breaking the enemy's prior arrangements. If you have learned about the Beast from the Roman Singularity or from Draco, you will know that this kind of calamity beast has something similar to a Reality Marble, or more accurately, a Beast Domain or a Beast Universe."

When Emiya talked about these things, he thought of the Demon King's "Temple of Time" and Kama's "Conceptual Universe"... "That is the Beasts' stronghold and resurrection point. This area is the embodiment of their power and also their most important part. If we take this part, it is equivalent to uprooting them."

"And after we've eradicated the root of the problem, our strategy is to reuse it and use it to form a force that can restrain and defeat the enemy..."

Emiya hesitated for a moment when he said this. Logically speaking, if things continued this way, they could have taken advantage of the situation to strengthen Draco in their own camp and restore her power to fight against the nun on the other side.

But is using beasts to control beasts... a reliable approach?

He was a little conflicted. No, to be more precise, he couldn't feel at ease handing over everything to Draco, especially with Plerati causing trouble.

Regina seemed to sense his distress. "May I?"

"Eh?"

“Yaobikuni valued me highly before, which means I’m very suitable as a vessel for power here, right? If the Chaldea people control this place with the Dragon Veins, then perhaps they can enhance my power through the environment and mythological rituals…”

As Regie Love spoke, she looked apologetic, glancing furtively at her hand that he was holding. "Ah, I don't mean to covet great power, but it just doesn't feel right to do nothing and be watched by a dark force hidden deep inside."

"It's not that it's impossible, but the dragon veins we set up are still applicable to the mythological system, just like in the previous Holy Grail Wars. They are not the same as the arrangements made by these black forces in these singularities. They are purely here to create calamity beasts."

Emiya said, "Speaking of myths and legends, there are some here, mostly Greek myths, like Oceanus, the ocean god..."

When it comes to Greek mythology, the most powerful dragons...

Rumble——!
Under the massive jet of flame, the ship's speed suddenly increased, and the long trail of flame propelled the Golden Deer for an unknown distance, all thanks to the power of authority brought by the "key".

"Okay, okay, I got it!"

Drake shut down the magic communication and urged Mary and Anne to sit still. To be honest, she was quite surprised as well. Why would Shanks' Red-Haired Pirates have so many brave warriors and such outstanding, groundbreaking communication or alchemy technology? She doubted their "pirate" status, but didn't say anything.

She asked, "You guys are killing sea monsters so diligently, could it be that you really are here to solve the monster problem and save the world?" Plerati grinned slyly and said, "Don't worry, we're not good people."

Drake chuckled twice, thinking it was a joke, and then said nothing more.

...but that's on the condition that she didn't see the bunch of demon pillars that Plerati created in the second phase.

The previous communication also mentioned being careful of significant changes in the key, but to be honest, Drake only felt that the power of authority provided by the Dragon Claw hadn't increased much; in fact, its output level had decreased. Based on her intuition, she figured it wasn't a good thing.

"Let's go, my men! Our next targets are the West Sea and the South Sea!"

“Waaaaaaaaaaaa——”

As soon as the words were spoken, Annie and the others, who were still confused, couldn't help but scream. Their entire ship was hung behind the Red Furs and then dragged by it, flying into the sky!
Annie and the others stared wide-eyed at the futuristic spaceship ahead. "Redheads, you've finally stopped pretending, huh?!"

It's clearly a wooden boat, yet it can take off from the spot!? It's only because their boat isn't ordinary and could be considered Drake's Noble Phantasm, otherwise it wouldn't be able to withstand such a commotion.

"Hahaha, these brats are afraid of heights? They're such cowards!" Drake laughed heartily from the captain's seat.

"Captain, help! Help!"

"Save me? This is an adventure! A new adventure is about to begin!" Drake raised his glass and took a swig of wine through the porthole.

The light from the bottle illuminated the approaching Western Sea—and the unidentified fleet that was drawing ever closer to the Red Firth.
