The villain's journey from the Type-Moon world

"Tell me, what did you find over there?"

"There are indeed some. They're related to Jill. He seems to have been separated from us and acting on his own. He hasn't even been with Jeanne d'Arc in recent days. His behavior is indeed very strange."

Martha said seriously:

"Your Servant, Jeanne d'Arc, tried to investigate, but couldn't detect anything amiss. Ultimately, the matter was left unresolved."

"That's normal. She is not suitable for this kind of thing. That's why I arranged for you two to do it. But you haven't found any clues?" Wang Chong asked.

"He's so cautious. He basically makes sure no one follows him every time he leaves. It's the same now. Even with the final battle approaching, I don't know where he's sneaking off to... But, Atalanta seems to have a plan."

Martha looked at Atalanta and said.

"Master, I found some clues." Seeing that she was being talked about, Atalanta had no intention of continuing to act coquettishly, but took out a piece of rag from her pocket.

Wang Chong narrowed his eyes slightly as he observed the black cloth. The color looked vaguely familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. Then Wang Chong raised his head and motioned for Atalanta to continue.

Atalanta didn't keep anyone in suspense and said directly:

"This is a scrap of Gilles de Rais's clothing, stained with some of his blood. He offended me some time ago, and I pretended to be out of my mind and shot him with an arrow."

Atalanta then placed the cloth on the ground, drew something in the soil with her fingers, and then muttered something.

The piece of cloth was covered with a faint glow, and then began to vibrate slightly in a certain direction.

"Okay, now we can know the approximate location of the enemy." Atalanta exhaled and said.

"What's the principle behind this?" Martha said with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"This is a method of tracking prey that is popular in my hometown." Atalanta said slowly.

"Well, it's actually confirming the target through blood resonance. Every civilization has this technology to some extent."

As the True Ancestor who was most skilled in manipulating blood, Wang Chong could naturally see the ins and outs of it at a glance.

"Let me do it. By manipulating the blood, I can locate the target more accurately." Wang Chong attracted the blood stains on the black cloth, which then condensed into a drop of blood. This drop of blood quickly flew towards the direction of Orleans City.

"Let's go!" After Wang Chong covered Atalanta and Martha with black mist, he led the two of them to quietly chase the blood beads and sneak into the city of Orleans.

Somewhere in the castle, a blood bead pointed firmly at a dry well. Wang Chong, emerging from the black fog, explored the area surrounding the well. After confirming there were no suspicious traces, he focused his attention on the well.

"Jump down. Jill must be the one behind this." Wang Chong said in a deep voice.

Upon hearing this, Atalanta jumped into the dry well first, followed closely by Martha, and finally Wang Chong was responsible for the rear guard.

However, what surprised the three people was that when they jumped into the dry well, they found that there was another world inside, which was even bigger than they had imagined.

Looking at the huge cave beneath the dry well, Wang Chong's eyes flashed with surprise, and a question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time finally got an answer.

"What a depressing atmosphere... and did you hear any strange noises?" Martha said with a serious expression.

"Yes, there is some strange sound that makes people feel uncomfortable." Atalanta also nodded.

"Found it... If I'm not mistaken, it's right here." Wang Chong said suddenly.

"You mean the mastermind behind the attack on Siegfried and the destruction of his Noble Phantasm? So that's why he's hiding underground? No wonder we couldn't find any trace of him above ground. So he's underground?"

Martha looked ahead involuntarily and said.

"Well, no wonder my black fog couldn't find any trace of that guy on the earth either... He really is hiding in a good place."

Although he spoke with some ease, Wang Chong remained vigilant in his heart. He was well aware that the situation before him was significantly different from the game plot he had imagined.

You have to know that in the game, after the final battle, the evil dragon dies and Jeanne d'Arc is defeated, and after that, only Jill and Jeanne d'Arc are left, and they are already outnumbered. Even though Jill holds the Holy Grail, he is ultimately defeated by the others.

As for the Demon Pillar… he never showed up. After all, he had long since joined the Chaldean side. The Demon Pillar's host, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who had sold his soul to music, had never considered destroying the world.

Unfortunately, things are completely different now. What happened that made Mozart finally join the Demon Pillar?

Perhaps all the answers will be verified in the future.

Wang Chong pondered this while using his innate skill [Magic Sense] to analyze these intermittent sound waves. Following his understanding, he began to shroud the three people with black mist and instructed:

"My power can temporarily block the influence of those voices and conceal our figures. I have a feeling that the truth of everything will be revealed ahead. Whether it's Gilles de Ray or the mastermind behind this."

"Let's not alert the enemy yet. Let's sneak in slowly and see what's going on."

After hearing Wang Chong's instructions, the two women nodded without hesitation and began to move inside.

As he went deeper, Wang Chong could sense the fluctuations of the sound more and more clearly.

Wang Chong not only had to eliminate the impact, but also absorb the sound waves and then appropriately release the same frequency waves behind him. In other words, he had to allow the sound waves to pass through his body unimpeded without any rebound.

Only in this way can we completely avoid the other party from directly sensing our whereabouts through sound waves.

At the same time, Wang Chong mentally assessed his position relative to the ground. After walking for quite some time, Wang Chong realized that if they continued forward, they would be out of Orleans City and back on the battlefield outside the city.

"It's actually right under our feet? Big Hollow... Big Hollow..."

Wang Chong had a bad feeling in his heart. He suddenly thought of the Great Hollow in Fuyuki City and what he had done at the end of the Fourth World War. Could it be...

"There is a strong smell of blood ahead!" Atalanta suddenly reminded in a low voice, and her expression began to look strange.

"Damn it—!" After walking a distance, they finally saw the source of the strong smell of blood. Marda's expression became extremely angry, and she wanted to rush out.

Chapter 51 Facing Farner

On the outskirts of Orleans, Marshal Gil continued to command his troops to fight against the wyverns, with both sides suffering heavy losses.

"Hold on a little longer. As long as we can hold on until our allies defeat the evil dragon, we will achieve ultimate victory!"

Although Marshal Gil said this, a hint of gloom appeared on his face.

It wasn't that the battlefield situation was so dire that there was no hope. Quite the contrary, everything was moving in a positive direction.

The strange travelers following the Saint have begun to gradually suppress the "livestock" of the "Dragon Witch." Meanwhile, the highly anticipated Dragon Slayer has already come into contact with the evil dragon. Perhaps it won't be long before they defeat it.

Marshal Jill had been haunted by a shadow. Ever since he set foot on this battlefield, he felt as if a thorn in his side was hanging over him, making him feel very uncomfortable.

Even strange images flashed through his mind: the depths of a vast, dark cave, a surging sea of ​​blood and vengeful spirits, piercing demonic sounds, and a terrifying pillar standing in the center of the sea of ​​blood...

He didn't understand why these signs appeared, nor did he understand the meaning of those images, so he just treated them as illusions for the time being, suppressed his inner uneasiness, continued to maintain the front line, and kept an eye on every movement on the battlefield.

"Well, the Dragon Witch and the Saint... where did they go?" Just as Marshal Gilles had looked at every corner of the battlefield, he unexpectedly discovered that Joan of Arc and Black Joan of Arc had disappeared.

As for the whereabouts of the two Joans... they hadn't actually left the battlefield completely. They were currently on a nearby mountain, searching for something.

"Sure enough... there are traces of spiritual veins here."

Joan of Arc sensed it carefully and then said.

"I'm always doing unnecessary things. That Jill... they've finally figured out some flaws. Even though I was acting completely according to my memory... I still ended up doing so many unnecessary things that I became suspicious."

At this moment, Black Jeanne d'Arc was no longer as cold and full of resentment as she had been on the battlefield before. She was also seriously using the Holy Grail in her body to sense the changes in her spiritual veins.

"Damn it...at least half of the magic power inside has been drained away. If we don't stop it, I'm afraid it will brew something that will completely destroy this world."

Then, Black Jeanne said with a grim expression.

"Tell Wang Chong-jun the situation. We've already found several spiritual vein nodes. Once they're ready, you and I will use the Ruler's power to interfere and cut off the magic, halting it."

Jeanne couldn't help but say.

"Hmm..." Black Jeanne nodded, immediately took off her arm guard, removed the black mist ring hidden inside, and began to explain the situation inside.

"Understood. You and Jeanne will wait for our orders. Once we find the weakest point of the magic circle, we will attack together!"

Wang Chong's voice echoed through the black fog, and then silence fell for a moment. After Black Jeanne pierced her flagpole precisely into a certain spot, she spoke:

"That guy, Jill, wants to mobilize such a huge amount of magic power on his own... He doesn't have that ability yet. I can sense that the magic flowing through the earth veins is being driven by a familiar external force."

"Are you referring to the Holy Grail?" Joan of Arc guessed.

"Hmm...it's just that the Holy Grail that Gil originally possessed is clearly with me. When did he obtain it, and from whom did he get it?"

After Black Jeanne finished speaking, she suddenly looked towards the battlefield and said:

"It's come to this. Is there any need to continue fighting? There are terrible bombs down there."

"I'm afraid it's difficult to stop now. The chain of hatred cannot be cut off. As a former avenger, you should know this best, right?" Joan of Arc said slowly.

"Oh, I didn't expect to hear such an argument from you. It seems that this trip home has made you more or less understand something."

Black Jeanne couldn't help but show the same mocking smile she always showed towards Jeanne, and then said:

"Then let's fight until one side destroys the other, just as the story goes, justice wipes out evil..."

……

"Roar"

The evil dragon Fafner roared and slowly climbed up from the ground. Siegfried and the others finally arrived in front of Fafner.

"It seems that he has woken up from that dizzy state. He was thinking of killing the opponent directly... It turns out that my luck has never been very good." Siegfried looked at the evil dragon Fafner who had recovered and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's alright, Mr. Siegfried. We were already prepared to face them head-on and attack them head-on, weren't we? Now we're just returning to our original point."

Ritsuka couldn't help but say.

"You're right, Ms. Ritsuka. But before we officially start the battle—I want to be honest. I don't know how I defeated it before."

"Eh? Don't suddenly say something so disturbing." Mashu's expression changed after hearing this.

"There's only one thing that's etched deeply into my memory. It wasn't a battle that was easily won. It was a battle that was won after countless failures."

Siegfried looked nostalgic and then said:

"Plan carefully, act boldly, see the big picture, and focus your attention on one point. Like the sea and the sky, light and darkness, you must be able to accommodate and implement contradictory approaches. Otherwise, you will never be able to defeat the evil dragon."

"I understand... I'll try my best!" Mashu said excitedly.

"Well, Ms. Ritsuka... no, I should call you Master now... Are you prepared for that?" Siegfried asked involuntarily.

"Of course - go ahead!" Ritsuka said with a look of determination in his eyes.

"Thank goodness you are so brave, Master." Siegfried chuckled, then looked at the roaring Fafner and shouted, "Return to dust once again, evil dragon!"

Siegfried charged forward first, and Mashu followed closely behind.

"Roar!!"

The first thing that greeted them was Fafna's scorching breath. Dragon flames instantly scorched everything in their path and pierced straight through them.

"Don't fight head-on! Disperse the formation and make him lose sight of the big picture!" Ritsuka gave orders while running to the side to avoid the dragon's breath.

Siegfried and Mash immediately dodged to the sides, avoiding the dragon's breath, and began to attack Fafner from different directions.

For a moment, because the two were separated and there was no one to command Fafna, she didn't know who to attack and fell into a brief hesitation.

However, it was this brief moment of hesitation that Mashu seized upon and got close.

"Drink-"

Mashu roared angrily and first struck Fafner's thigh with her shield, which was planted on the ground. Fafner felt the pain and moved her massive body, trying to crush Mashu, who was nothing more than an ant in her eyes.

However, Mashu's speed was much faster than it had imagined. Mashu dodged from her original position in an instant, not giving Fafner any chance to trample her.

At the same time, Mashu continued to launch harassing attacks around Fafnir. Although those attacks could not cause effective damage to Fafnir, they made Fafnir feel very painful and extremely angry.

Therefore, Fafnir's attacks began to become more and more violent and rapid, and she even released a large amount of dragon power and magic power, forcing Mashu to retreat.

However, Mashu's strategic goal had already been achieved, because another man in the distance had already raised his greatsword high.

It turned out that when Fafner was concentrating on dealing with Mash, Siegfried finally accumulated enough magic power, released the Noble Phantasm, and began to swing it at Fafner.

"Noble Phantasm Release——Bal mung (Fantasy Greatsword: Devil's Fall)!!!"

Siegfried shouted angrily, and the holy sword burst into a blue light. The soaring magic power directly attracted Fafner's attention from Mash, but it was too late to dodge now.

Fafner roared angrily, and was no longer defeated by the terrifying scenes in her memory. The will to survive made her act decisively, accumulating enough magic power, and spit out a flame jet towards the blue-white light cannon swung by Siegfried's holy sword.

"boom!"

The two forces collided, creating a massive surge of magical energy. Fortunately, there were no other living beings nearby, or else they would have been completely blown away by the overwhelming surge.

Ritsuka, who was near the battlefield directing the battle, immediately lay on the ground to avoid being swept away by the aftermath of the magic. At the same time, she was observing the battle situation and began to communicate with Mashu, asking her to be careful and seize opportunities.

In the end, Siegfried's dragon-slaying legend played a role of blessing. Driven by the special power, the light cannon suppressed Fafner's dragon breath bit by bit and fell directly on Fafner.

"boom!"

"Roar--!!"

Fafner let out a painful wail, and its figure seemed to be enveloped by Siegfried's light cannon.

"Is this a win?"

Following Ritsuka's orders, Mashu, who had been waiting for an opportunity, couldn't help but say after seeing this scene.
