With the sound effect of a Divine Artifact's Forbidden Hand, Jeanne erupted with an incredibly powerful aura, one comparable to the highest ranks.

Immediately after, Miss Moonlit heard a deafening dragon's roar, and then a massive giant dragon appeared beside Jeanne.

This was a variant Forbidden Hand of Jeanne's Divine Artifact, 'Demon Sword Creation,' named 'Holy Executioner?'!

"A Holy Dragon that's highest ranked, possibly even touching Quasi-Demon King level..."

Looking at the giant dragon that appeared before her, Miss Moonlit's crimson eyes showed no change, but she could sense that this dragon, created by 'Demon Sword Creation,' was no simple entity.

It seemed to contain countless Holy Sword characteristics, not just a single attribute, and its damage might be from different dimensions.

If facing a Demon, it would have no pressure in suppressing even the highest-ranked demons.

"This is my Balance Breaker, Holy Executioner?!"

Jeanne stood beneath the Holy Dragon, Holy Sword in hand, looking heroic and valiant.

"..."

Why is it that no matter which world Jeanne is from, she's always related to dragons? Even her Forbidden Hand for Demon Sword Creation creates a Holy Dragon.

With no time to think, the giant dragon lunged towards Miss Moonlit.

Miss Moonlit raised her right hand, her palm facing the incoming giant dragon, and an invisible pressure enveloped both the dragon and Jeanne.

Unlike the Noble Phantasm meant for individuals in the Fate world, in this 'Unlimited Blade Works' world, Miss Moonlit could affect everyone to a certain extent.

Sensing the invisible pressure, the dragon's movements stiffened, almost causing it to fall to the ground.

Even though it didn't fall, its speed was affected.

At this moment, Miss Moonlit acted again.

"Rise!"

The sword mountain beneath her feet and the Demon Swords on the ground were affected, rising on their own. They transformed into countless Demon Swords, flying towards the dragon under Miss Moonlit's control.

They became countless streaks of sword light, shooting towards the giant dragon.

The scene was incredibly shocking, with thousands of Demon Swords slashing madly at the giant dragon, continuing even after breaking.

"What a shame, it's not a Sacred Gear after all. Otherwise, its power would definitely be even greater. Myriad Swords Returning to Origin, that's true supreme swordsmanship."

Looking at the thousands of sword lights before her, Miss Moonlit felt a bit unsatisfied.

Her current maximum Forbidden Hand capability was creating over four thousand Demon Swords simultaneously, which was simply not enough to kill beings of Demon King Class or higher.

Moreover, she was only creating Demon Swords; not a single Holy Sword was present. The unilateral demonic power damage was a level below the combination of demonic and holy power. It was still too far from a true Sacred Gear.

If she could simultaneously possess 'Demon Sword Creation' and 'Bible Creation,' she could not only create ten thousand swords at once but also imbue them with holy and demonic attributes.

The creation of light and darkness would encompass almost all swords.

While controlling the stream of Demon Swords against the Holy Dragon, Miss Moonlit herself charged towards Jeanne with two greatswords, intending to capture her.

Seeing Miss Moonlit charge, Jeanne also refused to back down, meeting her with her Holy Sword.

However, it wasn't long before Miss Moonlit completely suppressed her.

Only in this world of unlimited restrictions could Miss Moonlit's strength be enhanced while her opponent's was suppressed. Her Holy Dragon was also being held back by the stream of thousands of swords and couldn't help her at all.

"Human, you lost."

Pinning Jeanne beneath her, her knee pressing on Jeanne's stomach, and her Demon Sword held against her neck, Miss Moonlit said expressionlessly.

"...I lost!"

Completely suppressed, Jeanne couldn't resist and gave up fighting.

The Forbidden Hand was canceled, and the Holy Dragon vanished.

Miss Moonlit also canceled her Balance Breaker, and the two returned to the beach. Jeanne was a bit dazed, having thought she was just playing with Miss Moonlit, but she had completely fallen into the other's hands.

"What do you want?"

Having regained her senses, Jeanne realized the girl before her had no intention of letting her go.

Her expression darkened, and she asked in a low voice.

"Human, you lost, so you're a prisoner, my spoils of war!"

"It's only natural that I can do whatever I want!"

Miss Moonlit grinned, revealing her cute, pointed fangs. She didn't intend to kill the girl before her, only to strip her of her Divine Artifact.

"You... you don't plan on biting me, do you?"

Looking at Miss Moonlit's cute fangs, Jeanne suddenly thought of something, her expression changing slightly. This girl before her was a vampire, and now that she had captured her, was she going to suck her blood?

How dare she!

She was Jeanne's reincarnation, after all. Sucking her blood would be asking for trouble, wouldn't it?

"Human, who do you think you are? Why would I bite you!"

If she hadn't mentioned it, Miss Moonlit herself hadn't even considered it.

Then, she placed a hand on Jeanne's chest and slowly said, "Don't worry, I only need something from your body, I won't kill you."

"You…"

Feeling Miss Moonlit's actions, Jeanne's cheeks flushed, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

She wants the thing inside me?

Miss Moonlit offered no further explanation and prepared to seize the Divine Artifact. However, before she could begin, she suddenly felt a sense of danger.

With no other choice, the girl had to release Jeanne and dodge.

In the next moment, a terrifying Demon Sword appeared where Miss Moonlit had been.

"Jeanne, you look awful like this! To fall into the hands of a mere vampire."

A voice rang out, and a figure appeared not far away—the owner of this Demon Sword. Miss Moonlit looked at him with a grim expression; it was a white-haired youth holding a Demon Sword, quite handsome.

"Siegfried, you've been nearby?!"

Jeanne quickly got up, staring at the newcomer with a blank expression, and said coldly.

"Not exactly, I just arrived."

"And then I saw you… Hahahaha…"

The man shook his head and burst into laughter.

Seeing the man's attitude, Jeanne's face turned incredibly ugly that he had witnessed her state, but she said nothing, as he had after all saved her.

"Siegfried?"

Miss Moonlit nearby, upon hearing this, immediately thought of Kiana's father, but dismissed the thought the next second; they were not the same person at all.

Siegfried is the dragon-slaying hero from the epic poem "Nibelungenlied," and a man who achieved great feats after joining the Burgundian army.

Furthermore, his legend includes becoming impervious to weapons and armor after bathing in dragon blood.

However, the one before her was not the true Siegfried of history. That hero had died long ago!

He was merely someone who inherited the name Siegfried and a member of the Hero Faction.

Moreover, he was neither a reincarnation nor a descendant of Siegfried.

The Siegfried before them was an artificial warrior created by the Church using the genetic material of the hero Siegfried. He possessed the sub-type Divine Artifacts [Dragon's Hand] and [Demon Emperor Sword Gram], along with several legendary Demon Swords.

Siegfried's Divine Artifacts were considered ordinary compared to others in the Hero Faction, but his swordsmanship was exceptional. Even "Holy King Sword Arthur" from The Order of the Fallen was merely his equal.

"Demon Sword Creation? You managed to defeat Jeanne. Little vampire, why don't I have a go with you!"

Siegfried stopped talking to Jeanne and looked at Miss Moonlit, saying with great interest.

The Demon Emperor Sword Gram in his hand emitted an incredibly dangerous aura.

"Sure!"

Miss Moonlit replied calmly.

If it weren't for this guy, she would have already obtained "Holy Sword Creation." There was no way she would let him go so easily.

Moreover, although Siegfried's Divine Artifacts were nothing special and quite ordinary, Miss Moonlit was very interested in the Demon Swords he wielded.

Those were top-tier Demon Swords that Demon Sword Creation couldn't replicate yet.

Especially the one in his hand, the @Demon Emperor Sword Gram".

It was a Demon Sword possessing both ferocious sharpness capable of cutting through anything and immense dragon-slaying power.

Simply put, it had the properties of Durandal and Ascalon combined.

However, as the Demon Emperor Sword, it placed a significant burden and curse on the user, which was nothing to Miss Moonlit.

To deal with the Siegfried before her, Miss Moonlit had no intention of using Demon Sword Creation. Instead, she unleashed the power of her Evil Eye right from the start.

End it quickly!

With a flash of light, Siegfried's movements were halted. Miss Moonlit took out her Chainsaw and violently slashed at him without mercy.

However, the next second, the Chainsaw was blocked by a Demon Sword.

"Eh?"

Miss Moonlit tilted her head adorably. This guy had actually broken free from the Evil Eye's control.

Chapter 44: Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash!

"Phew, that was close!"

"You little vampire, that's really dishonorable, a sneak attack, and using such a strange Divine Artifact!"

Siegfried blocked the Chainsaw with the Demon Emperor Sword, feeling a moment of danger. He hadn't expected Miss Moonlit to possess another peculiar Divine Artifact besides "Demon Sword Creation."

It seemed to be able to stop his time, and he almost capsized in the gutter.

It was indeed not simple if it could defeat Jeanne!

However, this only further ignited Siegfried's fighting spirit. Such an opponent was worthy of his full effort.

Pushing Miss Moonlit away forcefully, Siegfried gripped the Demon Emperor Sword with both hands and ferociously slashed at her. The Demon Emperor Sword in his hand was the Demon Sword among Demon Swords, capable of cutting through anything!

Miss Moonlit, not to be outdone, violently swung the chainsaw in her hand towards him.

The two clashed once more, only emitting a grating sound, with no weapons being severed.

"Your chainsaw is quite good. It actually withstood Gram's slash without a scratch!"

Seeing that her sword strike hadn't cut through Miss Moonlit's chainsaw, Siegfried couldn't help but show surprise. Most Divine Artifacts and weapons couldn't resist the Demon Emperor Sword Gram in his hand.

This wasn't just true for weapons, but for dragons as well.

Even Dragon Kings dared not face the Demon Emperor Sword directly; its terrifying dragon-slaying power could suppress most dragonkind.

"You're not bad either, human. The sword in your hand is good, I'll take it!"

Continuously hacking at Siegfried with her chainsaw, Miss Moonlit's crimson eyes were fixed on the Demon Emperor Sword in his hand as she directly declared her intention.

The chainsaw in her hand had transformed from a special weapon, possessing the attribute of never breaking. Under normal circumstances, enemy weapons would be cut by the chainsaw, or at the very least, its teeth would leave some nicks.

Yet, after so many blows from the Demon Emperor Sword, not a single mark was left on it.

"You want Gram in my hand? Hahahaha..."

Hearing Miss Moonlit's words, Siegfried burst into laughter. What an audacious brat.

"Then let's see if you have the ability!"

His expression turned serious. Siegfried immediately had the Divine Artifact "Dragon's Hand" enhance his body, and then another unknown top-tier demon sword appeared in his hand.

Wielding the demon sword, Siegfried displayed a perfect dual-wielding style towards Miss Moonlit.

In terms of swordsmanship, he possessed the highest level of skill in this world, even enough to suppress Archangels and Holy Sword Users.

"Disappear!!"

Facing Siegfried's powerful swordsmanship, Miss Moonlit was slightly strained but quickly stabilized her rhythm, wielding her chainsaw in a broad, sweeping battle.

To compensate for her lack of swordsmanship, Miss Moonlit occasionally used other powers to interfere.
