"The evil dragon was defeated?" The other servants also had this feeling to some extent.
Siegfried, who had faced this battle head-on, breathed out a sigh of relief, smiled, and said, "It seems I'm not always so unlucky."
"The life response of the super-large life form has been detected to be disappearing! Congratulations, you have successfully eliminated the evil dragon Fafner!"
Dr. Roman's voice put the final nail in the coffin on the matter, and Ritsuka and Mashu saw from the smoke and dust that Fafner's body, which had begun to transform into a spirit particle, was lying on the ground, with no signs of movement.
"You two, the evil dragon has been destroyed. Go support the other servants. I'll go find Albion-chan!"
However, Ritsuka obviously realized something and quickly ran towards the direction where Albion had just fallen.
"Senior, I'll follow you too...!!!"
Before Mashu could finish her words, she was about to run after Ritsuka when the ground suddenly began to shake.
"What...what's going on? Is it an earthquake?" Siegfried quickly plunged his sword into the ground and then stabilized his body.
"Woo--senpai!" Mashu wanted to support Ritsuka, but the frequency of the vibration prevented her from moving forward at all.
"Wow wow wow!" Ritsuka naturally fell to the ground with his butt, and just lay there without getting up.
Not only Ritsuka, but everyone on the battlefield was affected, perhaps only the wyvern still flying in the sky was not affected.
However, due to the death of the evil dragon Fafna, these wyverns seemed to have completely lost their backbone and no longer cared about the creatures on the ground.
"Ugh... my head hurts. What's going on?"
Marshal Gil was holding the cannon that was fixed beside him. For some reason, a face that looked very similar to his own flashed through his mind. The face was roaring like crazy, and no one knew what it was saying.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, a large area of land collapsed. At the same time, a terrifying array of unidentified objects, resembling vines and tentacles, began to emerge from the collapsed area, piercing numerous wyverns and continuously stabbing at other living entities.
The entire battlefield became completely chaotic. The tentacles made no distinction between friend and foe, and all living entities rushed forward.
Chapter 54 Demon Pillar - Appearance
“What the hell is going on?!”
Marshal Gil was shocked to see that the entire battlefield had undergone tremendous changes in the blink of an eye. At the same time, many of his French companions were pierced by those black and red tentacles.
"Om-"
At this moment, a shrill sound was heard. After hearing this sound, the remaining fragile mortal soldiers seemed to have gone completely crazy and rushed straight towards the tentacles.
“No!!” Marshal Gil was extremely shocked and furious, but before he could take a few steps, his brain could no longer bear the devilish sound, and blood began to seep out of his facial features.
"Damn it! What kind of monster is this!?"
Marshal Jill stared at the source of the sound, and saw a huge black and red pillar rising from the largest collapsed cave in the center of the battlefield.
I saw that the pillar was emitting a very strange aura, and the pillar was covered with bumps, like closed eyes.
"Senior! Are you okay? Doctor! What on earth is going on? Why didn't you warn me?"
In the area where Mashu was, she rushed to Ritsuka as soon as the shaking stopped and blocked the tentacles for him.
Siegfried arrived immediately and cut off the tentacles with his sword.
"..." At this time, Dr. Roman seemed to have seen something incredible and was silent for a long time.
"Doctor!" Mashu shouted again, raising her voice.
"...Run away, Mashu! That's not an opponent you can defeat!!" Dr. Roman also reacted at this moment, and his first words were to yell at them to run away.
"What's going on? Doctor, please explain clearly!" Mashu asked again.
"That thing... is neither a Servant nor a Phantasma. This is—the legendary reaction of a true 'devil'!! Listen, Mashu... other than that Lord Wang Chong, I can't think of anyone here who can deal with this thing!"
Dr. Roman immediately said:
"Go find Mr. Wang Chong! Don't keep fighting here! I'm afraid that guy is about to wake up!"
"But... where can we find Mr. Wang Chong?" Mashu couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Since the war began, they had hardly found any trace of Wang Chong and the other two servants, and no one knew where they had gone.
"Who is it! Who destroyed the spiritual vein and my formation!!"
At that moment, a sharp sound came from the direction of the pillar. Mash and the others looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure floating in front of the pillar. It was Gilles de Ray.
"Just one step... just one step! I can completely destroy this country and this land. Now all you can do is this half-baked thing! In that case, then use your lives to fill that unfinished flaw!!"
The enraged Gil de Rey waved his hand, and the pillar emitted a huge demonic sound that shook the entire place.
"Damn it! It's that voice! The guy who destroyed my Noble Phantasm—that's it!"
The devilish sound struck, and everyone was affected to varying degrees, but Siegfried immediately recognized what the devilish sound was and said.
"Jill! What are you doing? Attacking them is fine, but why are you attacking us too?!"
At the same time, Camilla angrily scolded Gilles de Ray, who was floating in the air.
"Haha, you're just a bunch of consumables. Do you really think you're worthy enough to be compared to me? Since it's come to this, just become the nutrient for the Pillars and become the cornerstone of the world's destruction."
However, Gilles de Rey showed disdain, and instead of relenting, he increased the intensity of his attack. As the tentacles absorbed more and more wyverns and soldiers as nutrients, the bulges, like eyes, opened slightly.
"Om-!"
In an instant, a terrifying pressure came upon everyone, causing their bodies to freeze. Their combat effectiveness dropped significantly due to this pressure.
In order to survive, the two sides that were originally fighting each other actually cooperated to deal with those dark creatures.
"Struggle—struggle...it's all in vain. You will soon be completely devoured."
Gilles de Rais said with a crazy look on his face.
"Really? Jill, you made quite a noise when I was away."
But at this moment, a familiar voice was heard, and the madness on Gilles de Ray's face stopped abruptly.
Then a scorching flame swept over, burning a large number of dark creatures to ashes and opening up a path leading directly to the pillar.
"Lady Joan of Arc...it's you." Gilles de Res looked in the direction where Black Joan of Arc came from, and he seemed to understand everything.
"It seems that you are not surprised by my appearance and action... So, Jill, when did you become suspicious of me and then do all this privately?"
After Black Jeanne walked out, she directly summoned the only remaining wyvern, flew the dragon towards Gilles de Ray, and said.
"I have never doubted you. As I said before, my faith and loyalty to you have never changed."
Gilles de Rais said slowly:
"It's just that the guy who gave me the Holy Grail before told me that the Holy Grail is out of his control. So he told me not to trust you."
"I didn't believe everything he said, but that didn't stop me from taking more steps to ensure the complete realization of our vision. Who would think that having more steps isn't enough?"
Gilles de Rais chuckled and said:
"That is why, Master Jeanne, no matter what order you give, I will carry it out unconditionally. Even if you have Archer secretly send some old and young people away, even if you give the wrong order and cause us to suffer heavy losses, I do not care."
"I simply believe that you, Lady Jeanne, are still hesitant and unprepared. Therefore, as long as I have made backup plans, even if you, Lady Jeanne, fail in this decisive battle, I will still fully realize my vision."
After saying this, the smile on Gilles de Rais's face began to fade. He straightened his face and said:
"So, Lady Jeanne, can you tell me... why? Why did you side with them? And why did you destroy the spirit veins to stop me?"
"Why? The reason is very simple, Jill..."
Black Jeanne d'Arc looked at Gilles de Rais and said slowly:
"I am Joan of Arc, the Joan of Vengeance. But not the Joan of Arc you've created, the one with only the remnants of revenge left. I do have hatred for France, for those who betrayed me. But there's more to me than that."
"And for me, my revenge has already been accomplished once. From the moment I appeared before you, you were facing Joan of Arc, who had already completed her revenge. From the beginning to the end, I was never on the same side as you."
"Of course, even without the above reasons... I would still say this: I will take revenge if I want it, and I won't if I don't want it. I'm just that willful. And you—have no right to influence my thoughts!!"
After listening to Jeanne d'Arc's explanation, Gilles de Rais seemed to fully understand it. He nodded and said:
"I see. Has revenge already been accomplished? Perhaps this is retribution. I thought I could create my ideal Joan of Arc through the Holy Grail... but it was merely a tool to fulfill my selfish desires. It wasn't the real Joan of Arc... it wasn't even a living person."
"Perhaps, you are now more like another possibility of Joan of Arc. Another possibility of a truly living Joan of Arc. I am satisfied to have witnessed the emergence of this possibility and to have fought against it for a while."
After saying this, Gilles de Rey's aura began to change suddenly, and then his body began to merge into the pillar behind him.
"But—Joan of Arc, even if you no longer have any desire for revenge, I still won't let this country go! I hate it to the core! I swear to destroy this treacherous nation!"
"No matter if it's gods, royal families, or nations! I will destroy them all! I will kill them all! This is my wish for the new Holy Grail! Don't get in my way! Joan of Arc!"
The pillar swallowed up most of Gilles de Ray's body, and Gilles de Ray's face was distorted as he roared.
"It's time to end this, Jill. This completely insane and unjust Avenger deserves retribution and an end. Even as a fellow Avenger, I will still stand up and end you now! "Roar, my wrath!"!"
Black Jeanne held the flagpole and aimed it at the pillar in front of her, releasing her own treasure. A huge flame rose up and burned directly on the pillar, as if intending to completely destroy and terminate the fusion of Gilles de Ray and the pillar.
"Then you are my enemy now! Let's fight it out! Can you save this world, or will I completely destroy it?"
However, Gilles de Rais endured the burning pain and finally completed his fusion with the pillar.
[I, one of the seventy-two demon pillars—Demon God Andusias, will resort to the devil's voice to completely destroy and ruin this world!]
The existence called the Demon Pillar completely opened those red eyes that covered its body, and the waves of demonic sounds it emitted swept across the entire battlefield.
Chapter 55 The Power of the Demon Pillar
When the name of the Demon Pillar was revealed, everyone knew very clearly what kind of enemy they were facing.
The touch of the demon has spread all over the earth, and this is the result of being interrupted. It seems that Gilles de Ray’s words that once the ritual is successful, the world will be completely destroyed are not empty words.
"All servants, listen up! I will retract your frenzy effects. Now act! We have only one goal: to completely eradicate that towering demon pillar!"
Black Jeanne used the Holy Grail to modify the Master-Servant Contract, removing the berserk effects of all servants except Berserker, and ordered all the servants she summoned to attack the Demon Pillar.
"I don't understand why...why did things suddenly turn out like this? Can anyone tell me what's going on?"
Camilla couldn't help but shout loudly as she watched the scenes that had just happened.
"Stop yelling! If you don't want to die, defeat these disgusting things first!!"
Elizabeth swung her spear and cut off a demon's touch that was almost enough to pierce Camilla.
"You actually saved me?" Camilla turned around and looked at Elizabeth and asked in confusion.
"Don't get me wrong! I just don't want my relationship to be ruined by outsiders before I completely break up with you!" Elizabeth said bluntly.
"Sharp-tongued fellow (me)... In that case, let's deal with that shadowy octopus hiding in the pillar first! I've been irritated with that guy for a long time."
Seeing this, Camilla also shifted her target to the current Demon Pillar.
"I never thought that vampires would cooperate with saints. Is this God playing a joke on everyone?"
On the other side, Vlad III and Georgos had already started fighting side by side. Vlad III spoke in a half-joking tone, and then used his piercing spear to accurately pierce the three attacking demon touches.
"In the face of a true crisis of destruction, people will eventually unite and abandon prejudice and discrimination. Grand Duke Vlad, you haven't wallowed in the path of destruction. This proves that you are ultimately more human than a monster."
Georgos answered the other party's questions very seriously and eliminated all the demon touches that wanted to attack him from behind.
"Is it biased towards humans? Haha, maybe I'm just following the orders of that Dragon Witch."
Vlad III sighed:
"What a joke. So, in the end, that witch was just playing along with that Gil? Even if you're willful, there has to be a limit."
With spears and swords drawn, the two men were advancing towards the Demon Pillar at the fastest speed.
"Woo! What an ugly thing, what an unpleasant sound... But why do I feel like there's a familiar melody in this sound... And a hint of sadness?"
Mary relied on her mount to move at high speed, so she was not touched by the touch of the demons. However, she kept staring at the demon pillars, listening carefully to the waves of demonic sounds they emitted.
"careful!"
At this moment, a flash of sword light passed by, and it was Dion who used his sword to split the several Demon God's Touches that had been ambushed. However, because of this, Dion was surrounded by the Demon God's Touches.
"Dion! Crystal Flower—go!"
Mary used her magic power to construct a large number of crystal flowers, and smashed them directly onto the touch of the devil, trying to completely destroy them.
However, the strength of the demon's touch was still too much for both Knight Dion and Queen Marie, especially when they were deeply surrounded and it was impossible to escape.
"Don't worry about me, Queen! I've already fallen into self-degradation. Death is the best destination for me. On the contrary, Queen, you must leave this place immediately. This is not a place for you to help or interfere!"
Dion shouted amidst the heavy touch of the demon.
"How can I just leave like this? I didn't run away when I was executed, and I won't run away now! I will not stand by and watch the people of France suffer."
However, Mary resolutely stayed. Since ordinary moves didn't work, she completely released her treasure. After all, she had already reshaped her body with the third method, and her magic power was inexhaustible.
"Guillotine Breaker (May the glory of the Lily Crown last forever)!"
