Magic surged upwards, carrying killing intent and madness. Lancelot's helmet glowed with a heart-stopping red light as he aimed the anti-aircraft machine gun mounted on the armored vehicle at the wyvern flock in the sky and opened fire!
"Ar... Arthur!!!!!!!!!!!"
A chilling roar erupted from Lancelot as countless bullets made of steel rained down upon the wyvern flock.
Soon, explosions of blood bloomed in the air, flesh and blood splattering everywhere. The wyverns let out miserable cries as they were riddled with the sudden barrage of bullets, falling from the sky one after another, dead.
"So... so amazing!" Seeing this scene, Mash and Kiyohime's eyes widened. They had so easily eliminated half of the wyverns. If the remaining ones hadn't broken into the city, Lancelot would have annihilated them all, right?
"Hurry and go rescue reinforcements in the city! Don't let them destroy our resting place for the night!"
With an order, Su Mo pulled Mash and Kiyohime onto the armored vehicle and commanded Lancelot to drive it through the city gates and charge inside.
Inside the city, a young girl in silver armor and a metal headdress was fighting the wyverns that had broken through alone.
The girl had light blonde hair braided into a waist-length pigtail, with bangs of moderate length in the front. She held a white military flag with patterns in her hand, using it to shatter the fireballs shot by the wyverns.
"Everyone... please retreat behind me! I'll lead you to a safe place!" The girl desperately endured the wyverns' attacks, anxiously shouting to the surrounding soldiers and civilians.
"Who would run behind a witch!"
"Damn witch, isn't destroying our homeland enough? Now you want to kill us all!"
"Witch, go die!!!"
The civilians and soldiers of France looked at the girl fighting the wyverns with hateful eyes. Instead of thanking her for saving their lives, they hurled malicious insults at her.
Seeking flowers! Seeking collection!!
Chapter Thirty: They Look Alike
The girl's name was Jeanne d'Arc, but she was not the Dragon Witch people spoke of.
Summoned suddenly as a Ruler-class Servant, her summoning was incomplete. She lacked knowledge of the Holy Grail War, and her class skills, True Name Discernment and Command Spells, were unusable. Most infuriatingly, even her parameter stats were lowered. If they hadn't been lowered, these wyverns wouldn't have been so rampant in front of her.
Glancing at the hateful French soldiers and civilians around her, Jeanne d'Arc didn't understand why they called her a witch and hated her so much. However, being kind-hearted, she wouldn't abandon them.
"I must protect them!"
Thinking this, before the wyverns launched their next wave of attacks in the air, Jeanne d'Arc raised her military flag high and activated the true name of her Noble Phantasm!
"Luminosite" (My Lord is Here!)
Although her Magic Resistance had been significantly weakened due to the incomplete summoning, she could still handle the wyverns' fireballs.
She successfully converted her Magic Resistance into protective power against all physical or spiritual attacks, blocking the wyverns' assault. After the first wave of attacks ended, before Jeanne d'Arc could breathe a sigh of relief, the second wave followed closely!
"Endure... If I fall here, the surrounding soldiers and civilians will!"
Aware of this, Jeanne d'Arc endured with great difficulty. She poured all her strength into the military flag. Everyone's lives now rested on this flag; she had to hold on!
"Is that saint, who is desperately protecting us, truly the Dragon Witch?"
The surrounding soldiers and civilians wavered. The panic and hatred on their faces disappeared, replaced by tears of regret streaming from their eyes, as if they had found salvation once more.
