Anime: Blue-Eyes Baby Dragon, picked up by the Knight King

Chapter 88 Bai Zhen: Will you feel better if I apologize?

"Joan of Arc!!!"

The citizens were cheering.

They no longer had any fear, but rushed to the city wall, stood behind Joan of Arc, and stood under the iris flag.

When that petite but determined figure appeared on the city wall, these cowards who were frightened by the dragons, zombies and undead suddenly burst out with a courage and strength that even amazed Artoria.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that there was actually someone who could inspire the courage of an entire nation and a people simply by his presence.

Perhaps this is the romance that is unique to France.

Only under the leadership of women and dwarfs can these timid farmers, carpenters, and petty citizens unleash the true strength of this nation.

"Joan of Arc!!!"

Black Jeanne d'Arc was also roaring.

She looked at the golden figure standing on the city wall, and the flames of anger instantly ignited her entire soul.

Betrayal, betrayal again!

This time—even she herself betrayed her!

"I want you to die!!!"

The black flames had been increased to maximum power, transforming into a huge black dragon phantom in mid-air - it swooped down towards the city wall, as if wanting to wipe out everything there.

But Joan of Arc remained undaunted.

"This flag is proof that our Lord is here!"

With the flag at its apex, a white holy light enveloped the entire city. It was an absolutely invincible blessing, a miracle bestowed upon this girl by heaven.

"Everyone, concentrate your firepower immediately and kill that dragon first!"

Jeanne's support came very timely, and as the commander, Artoria also instantly realized what the most urgent task was.

"This sword is the manifestation of the power of the sun—"

"The evil dragon will eventually fall, the world, now is sunset-"

"My sword accuses you, the dragon—"

"O sorrowful dragon who knows no love, now. Like a shooting star—"

Four Heroic Spirits associated with the Dragon release their Noble Phantasms simultaneously.

Feeling the increasingly expanding magical fluctuations, Bai Long vaguely felt that the ultimate purpose of their attack was not to defeat the dragon.

But to completely clean up this world!

"This stupid woman, what is she still doing here?"

"Run quickly!"

"boom--"

A violent explosion sounded in the sky above the city of Lyon.

The disillusioned light and shadow lasted for a full minute, and the smoke and dust produced by the explosion took a full ten minutes to completely dissipate.

"Win, win?"

Looking at the battlefield ahead, smelling the scorched earth, Marda, completely exhausted of both physical strength and magic power, sat down on the ground in an undignified manner, gasping for breath.

"The dragon's aura has disappeared. I can no longer sense its presence."

This was Siegfried's answer.

As the dragon-slaying hero in "The Nibelung", he has a special "connection" with Fafnir and can easily sense the presence of the dragon.

He said the dragon disappeared, so it must have disappeared.

But the witch who summoned the dragon and controlled it...

"She's not dead."

Altria said with certainty.

Even with the ahoge on her head, she could guess that at the last moment, it must have been the white dragon that rescued Black Jeanne d'Arc.

This is also the "tacit cooperation" between her and Shirataki.

There was no need for any words to explain. When Shirataki said, "I've betrayed you. Don't contact me anymore," she understood that Shirataki must have discovered something and had his own plans.

In this situation, her best course of action was to do nothing and let everything proceed as planned.

——She completely handed over the leadership of the mission to Shirataki.

——She also believed from the bottom of her heart that the white dragon, who had always been very intelligent, would be able to do better than her.

"I'll leave that girl to you."

……

Shirataki took Black Jeanne and flew towards Orleans.

Black Jeanne is in terrible shape.

She was seriously injured. Marda had punched her without mercy, and almost every punch was enough to break a rib.

But what really caused Black Jeanne to become the miserable state she is in now was the uncontrolled burning of the fire of [anger].

——She overdrew her strength.

Actually, it can’t be considered an overdraft... After all, she has long known that she was born from anger and will eventually be destroyed by anger.

But this "destruction" was not in her plan at all.

The repeated betrayals had completely driven her to a state of sanity, forcing her to act entirely on instinct. And when that White Jeanne appeared, she abandoned even the instinct to live—all she could think about was dying together with that White Jeanne.

Fortunately, Bai Zhende's treasure is of the [Absolute Defense] type and has no offensive ability. Otherwise, it would be another matter whether she could survive.

"I remember that big-eyed guy probably hid the Holy Grail here, right?"

"Let me look for it... Yeah, I found it!"

Shirataki carried Black Jeanne back to Orleans, which was now a deserted city.

He placed the unconscious witch on a bed and went to the magic workshop in the basement to find the magician's holy grail.

This is not the real Holy Grail, but a fake Holy Grail created by the Demon King Goetia to distort human history... Although it does not have the function of the "Holy Grail" to fulfill any wish, the almost endless magic power contained in it is undoubtedly the best healing medicine for Black Jeanne d'Arc now.

"The next thing to do... should be to wait patiently, right?"

Shirataki melted the false Holy Grail into the body of Black Jeanne d'Arc.

With the nourishment of magic, the injuries on Black Jeanne's body were quickly healed, and it seemed that there was no serious problem on the surface.

However, due to the excessive consumption of her original power, she will probably sleep for two or three days... I don't know what will happen after she wakes up.

"Ugh."

Shirataki sighed.

He had to admit that everything that was happening now was actually part of his "plan".

But at the same time, he had to say...that fool was too cruel.

No one knows whether she did it on purpose or just by coincidence - but the Bai Zhende who appeared at the end was really "murderous and heartbreaking", making Bai Long, a bystander, feel frightened and his scalp tingling.

"Put yourself in her shoes, I would also fight her to the death, right?"

Chapter 89 Pretend It Never Left

City of Orleans.

three days later.

Just as Shirataki had expected, Black Jeanne was in a coma for three full days before she almost recovered the lost root power in her body.

But at the same time, the mental damage she suffered could not be made up for in just three days.

"Get out-"

"Traitor, I told you to get out!!!"

This was the first sentence that Black Jeanne said to Shirataki after waking up.

At that time, Bai Long looked at her with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated - he wanted to do something to comfort her, or take her out for a walk to relax her.

However, looking at the angry look on Black Jeanne's face, he knew that she had not yet recovered from the previous "feast of betrayal".

——No matter who it is, it’s impossible to get out in such a short time, right?

"never mind."

"Let her calm down first."

Shirataki thought silently in his heart, placed a basket of barley bread on the table in the room, then spread his wings and flew out of the window to the outside world.

"Damn it!!!"

Watching Bai Long's gradually disappearing back, Black Jeanne, still feeling unsatisfied, picked up the basket on the table and threw it out the door along with the bread in it.

She is 337 now, still furious.

"Revenge, I want revenge—"

"I'm going to burn them to death!!!"

The witch, born out of anger, struggled to stand up from the bed, wanting to walk out the door and continue the unfinished battle.

but.

"thump--"

Perhaps because she had just woken up and hadn't yet adapted to her frail body, Jeanne Black fell to the ground after only a few steps after stepping out of bed.

"Damn it, are you going to betray me too?"

Black Jeanne cursed her legs while struggling to get up.

But the weakness of this body was beyond her expectations - she didn't even have the strength to stand up again.

"why."

"Why……"

After a long time, the girl who was betrayed by the whole world finally gave up struggling.

She just lay on the ground, clenched her hands into fists, and numbly pounded the cold wooden floor.

"Could this be God's punishment for me?!"

she muttered.

Two lines of tears had already flowed out of her eyes without her noticing.

……

Let’s ignore the witch who is secretly sad for now.

Outside the sky, Bai Taki left Orleans, following the scent of the two monster lolis and flew all the way to the east.

They had left the valley and came to a deserted village.

As expected, when Shirataki found them, they were arguing.

——Although it was a meaningless quarrel, for these two monster lolis who traveled together, it seemed to be a way for them to express their friendship to each other.

"What? Xiao Hei was bullied?!"

"Ah, betrayal! I know that feeling... I guess you want to trap those traitors in a bell and roast them alive in flames!"

Shirataki found these two "dragon" girl lolis, gave them a brief introduction to Black Jeanne d'Arc, and extended a sincere invitation to them.

In their previous encounters, although these two monster lolis did not become true friends with Black Jeanne, Shirataki could see that the compatibility between these three people was actually very good - at least they did not dislike each other.

I hope these two little guys can make Miss Witch feel better.

"Comfort her? Of course! She'll cheer up after hearing my singing!"
