In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

But this also meant that he had to drag his severely injured body and crawl across the entire city of Orleans.

"Pierre, are you crazy? You will die."

Ian laughed despite the pain all over his body.

"Fafnir, I won't die."

"Jeanne... has not had a good life yet."

After saying this, he began to move on the ground like a bug, gradually eliminating the magic directed at his sister.

In the silent night, only blood silently recorded the traces of a brother crawling.

【One day later.】

【Joan of Arc arrived in Orleans with the French army.】

"elder brother……"

Joan of Arc hadn't seen her brother for a day - and no one knew where he had gone.

But she still had to hold up the white holy flag and lead the French army across the bridge into the city of Orleans.

But what she saw next was an extremely terrifying scene.

The city of Orleans had been reduced to a ruin. Black smoke was rising from the wreckage of the buildings, silently telling of the flames that had burned the world in the past.

The corpses of several dragons were scattered throughout the city.

Some of them were completely turned into charcoal, while others were embedded in the city walls and lost their heads.

The rest were either lying in a huge pit with their necks twisted at weird angles.

Either it has become unrecognizable, or without wings, it cannot even be recognized as a dragon.

But Joan of Arc was totally oblivious to this.

She could only see Ian lying not far in front of her, his body covered in dried blood and without a single piece of intact skin.

Worse still, he was motionless.

"elder brother!"

The girl dropped her holy flag and ran in his direction.

204. Joan of Arc's Careful Probe/Miraculous Victory Streak/Awakening (4k)

— Severe pain —

——Tear——

--bleed--

A multitude of feelings intertwined in Ian's head, waking him up.

After that, what came into the boy's eyes was the light yellow wooden ceiling.

This is a very common building structure in this era.

[You realize you are not dead—it is a miracle of survival.]

[But you can clearly feel the piercing pain coming from your body from time to time. ]

[This is the aftereffect of the dragon battle. ]

"Are you finally awake?"

Fafnir's voice came from the black dragon-shaped pendant.

"I thought you would never wake up."

"Absolutely impossible."

Ian responded to his dragon face despite the pain all over his body.

"I told you... I will never die until Jeanne has a good life."

"I hope you can keep your promise." Fafnir's voice sounded a little dull.

"correct--"

"Now that you're awake...there's something I have to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Ian vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"It's not a big deal."

The black dragon-shaped pendant on the boy's neck glowed slightly.

"The battle at Orleans has already revealed too much of my power - your presence is now very thin."

"If you turn into a dragon again... you will definitely disappear completely."

"so--"

"From now on, forget my existence and don't think about turning into a dragon anymore...ever."

[The talent Dragon Corrosion has been replaced with Dragon Corrosion EX: The battle of Orleans allowed the dragon's face to be displayed beyond imagination. The next time you become Fafnir, you may disappear completely. ]

[The talent Endless Rage + has been enhanced to Endless Rage EX: This is the real dragon's rage, you no longer have doubts about it. ]

You realize that Fafnir really didn't want you to disappear - after all, he could have said nothing and taken this body.

"Thank you, Fafnir."

Ian held the black dragon-shaped pendant around his neck.

"but--"

"I will not forget you."

"You said... I am you and you are me. How could I forget myself?"

"..."

Fafnir chuckled.

"you're right."

“Then keep communicating.”

After saying this, Dragon Mask had no further response.

Just at this moment, a noise came from the door - someone was about to come in.

But Ian already knew who it would be.

The wooden door was gently pushed open.

Joan of Arc appeared there.

She was holding a basin of hot water with her head lowered, her eyes filled with gloom from the inside out.

【You know how this works.】

[As your sister and lover, Jeanne cares about you very much. ]

[Knowing that you are unconscious like this, she will naturally not be in a good mood. ]

"Jeanne, my brother doesn't like it if you look gloomy."

"Eh?"

Joan of Arc raised her head, and the moment she saw Ian sitting up, her eyes as blue as the sea began to tremble.

pat-

The basin filled with hot water fell to the ground.

The girl couldn't believe what she saw.

But the body had already subconsciously run towards where he was.

"Brother~"

With a plop, Joan of Arc pushed Ian down on the bed.

She hugged him, whom she had been thinking about day and night, and began to sob.

"Brother, you finally woke up!"

"I'm so scared... I'm so scared that you'll never wake up again!"

"..."

Ian said nothing, just gently stroked his sister's back.

He knew how she felt at that moment - he could even empathize with her.

The brother and sister hugged each other in bed, letting everything around them fall into a warm reunion.

but--

"Well, Jeanne."

"what happened?"

"Can you please let me go for a moment, brother... My body hurts so much."

After hearing what Ian said, Joan of Arc realized that her brother's injuries had not yet fully healed.

She quickly let go of his hand and apologized profusely.

"Brother, I'm sorry!"

"Nothing." Ian reached out and gently rubbed his sister's head.

"I know you did this because you were worried about me, Jeanne."

"but--"

"Can you tell me first, what is going on now?"

"Yeah!" Joan of Arc nodded like a well-behaved kitten.

"Brother, it's like this..."

【Joan of Arc tells you what happened after you lost consciousness.】

[You were seriously injured and were taken back to the French army by Joan of Arc.]

[As the commander of the royal family, she ordered all resources to be concentrated to save you, but the results were not ideal. ]

[You fell into a deep coma, and no sound could wake you up.]

【Everyone thought it was impossible for you to wake up again. 】

[Some people began to persuade Joan of Arc to give up trying to save you - France still has a long way to go in its revival, and we can't waste too many resources on one person.]

【But the young girl was not willing to do so. 】

[She made a promise to everyone that was like a bet - as a leader, she would give up trying to save you the first time she lost.]

【Everyone thought that Joan of Arc listened to the advice. 】

[After all, there has never been a commander in French history who has never been defeated. ]

【However, the result was exactly the opposite.】

[As if she was truly guided by the Lord and instructed by the angel, she won all the next nine battles.]

[This is a miracle in French history - no one else has achieved such a feat except Joan of Arc.]

[And your awakening at this moment has brought the incident to a perfect end. ]

"so--"

Ian looked around the room he was in.

"Where are we now?"

"Lance." Joan of Arc answered directly.

"We have escorted His Majesty the Prince to Reims...He will receive the coronation ceremony here and become the new king."

"That way, that bastard from England won't have the right to say France is his land."
