I, the Masked Swordsman, started my journey through a Lostbelt.

However, there are sometimes special circumstances.

For example, information or memories about singularities may sometimes not be recorded in the Throne of Heroes.

Of course, this is just a special case.

This wasn't the first time Chaldea had encountered such a situation.

"The memories of Orleans are still very vivid, and the image of Joan of Arc as a saint remains in my heart. When I saw Joan of Arc here, I really felt much more at ease."

Mashu's words were very sincere.

Upon hearing this, Joan of Arc blushed and said shyly, "Well, I have never considered myself a saint. I was just doing what I could."

"She said the same thing back in Orleans. It really is the same saint."

Joan of Arc was somewhat at a loss for words.

She quickly regained her composure and returned to discussing the current singularity, while also learning about the Lostbelt from Mash Ritsuka.

Knowing the general situation, Joan of Arc became even more certain of her thoughts.

We must reclaim the Holy Grail now.

Lostbelts were originally something that was cut off.

Panhuman History and Lostbelts have been opposing sides from the very beginning, with neither side able to tolerate the other's existence.

"So, the only option is to fight them?"

"Yes, as that man named 'Du Wei' said, the struggle for survival has no distinction between good and evil. Panhuman History and Lostbelts are incompatible. As Lostbelts, they invaded Panhuman History and created Singularities. All we can do is correct this mistake."

Joan of Arc's tone sounded very serious.

Because this is a matter of protecting the world, we cannot allow the last Master to be confused.

There are too many issues she needs to consider right now.

Not only was humanity destroyed by the Demon King, but now Lostbelts have appeared from who-knows-where.

Keep in mind that Ritsuka was originally just a high school student.

The responsibility on her shoulders was far too heavy.

"I'm sorry, perhaps this is too much for you..."

"Make a pact with me, Joan of Arc."

Ritsuka raised her head and looked directly at Jeanne d'Arc.

We really can't stop here.

She crossed several singularities to get here, and along the way she was redeemed by many people, and she stands here for them.

To explain why we should continue...

There will always be only one reason.

Because she is Chaldea's Master.

"If you can help, our chances of defeating the opponent will increase, so let's make a pact."

"...I'm sorry...I've made you suffer too much...I, Jeanne d'Arc, will be your sword and advance alongside you!"

Jeanne d'Arc was familiar with the gaze in Ritsuka's eyes.

That's the look in the eyes of someone who is enlightened.

However, fate can be cruel, placing the heavy burden of saving human history on the shoulders of a young girl.

To share her burden.

She decided to become Ritsuka's Servant here.

Hmm... that was pretty much the first battle between Chaldea and the Lostbelt.

The author will work on the plot as soon as possible, since the great battle between the two sides is the climax of this volume, and a few chapters need to be used to lay the groundwork.

Chapter 40: Domination of the Ground and the Sky [Please Subscribe! Please Give Flowers!]

Joan of Arc and Fujimaru Ritsuka complete their contract.

Mordred doesn't need to sign anything else, since she already has a Master.

However, the alliance itself isn't a bad thing.

In this situation, it's impossible to win by going it alone.

Only by bringing all the remaining scattered Servants together can the side fighting against the Lostbelts possibly achieve victory.

Thus, Mordred temporarily cooperated with Chaldea and the others.

Mordred knew where the remaining Servants from both the Black and Red factions were, so it wouldn't be difficult to take Ritsuka there and find them.

The group headed towards the road leading out of the city.

Another noteworthy event during the journey was that Ritsuka and the others found Astolfo's whereabouts.

Morgan's water mirror magic was not lethal.

It is more of a magic trick used for teleportation.

When Astolfo activated the Water Mirror Magic, he used his Noble Phantasm Space Jump to the center of the castle while riding his eagle.

He was not teleported to the same location as the Greater Grail.

Instead, they were sent somewhere in the forest.

Astolfo is fortunate to be kept alive by the local spiritual veins, but he is unable to move around due to the injuries he sustained in the battle with Jack the Ripper.

Fortunately, he unexpectedly encountered Ritsuka and the others.

Now Chaldea has gained another follower.

"Let's go! Right now, the Black side probably only has Siegfried and Chiron left! They'll most likely lend you a hand, and I'll do my best to persuade them!"

Astolfo has regained its vitality.

Thanks to Ritsuka's healing magic, his injuries have healed to a point where they no longer need attention.

He led the way at the front of the forest path.

The problem of rationality evaporating is frustrating.

Following his emotions, Astolfo decides to serve Ritsuka.

There was no other special reason.

Simply because Ritsuka saved him from injury, he felt he had to repay him in kind.

However, Astolfo's lively personality is not necessarily a bad thing.

He really livened up the atmosphere in the team.

.......

...

Du Wei, Morgan, and Bavanshi returned to the royal city.

Since he couldn't help Duve and Morgan in Tulipas, Bavanshi seemed rather sullen when he returned.

I haven't tried hard enough.

If I'm strong enough, I can help.

With this in mind, Bawanshi was somewhat unhappy.

She had no solution to this.

As for Du Wei, he left the royal city and went specifically to the location of Semiramis in the wilderness.

There's a reason why Semiramis hasn't participated in the fighting these past few days.

In reality, she was preparing a Noble Phantasm.

【Hanging Gardens of Babylon】

In fact, Semiramis did not build the Hanging Gardens during his lifetime.

The fact that it exists now is merely a result of the faith of a large number of misunderstood people, which allowed it to be established as a Noble Phantasm.

Therefore, it was named "Vanity".

The activation conditions for this Noble Phantasm are extremely strict.

It cannot be revealed through magic.

A certain amount of wood, stone, minerals, plants, and water from Semiramis's former residence must first be collected and combined, and then she must perform a long ritual to turn the fantasy into reality.

Semiramis needs to chant continuously from preparation to completion.

The process lasts approximately three days.

There is no need to worry about the building materials from Semiramis's former residence; Duvi found a place to store them when he was at the church.
