Fangzheng had to admit that he was truly astounded by this series of actions.
He had never seen such a spineless person. As soon as he made a move, she actually knelt down and begged for mercy. She even surrendered and asked to be incorporated?
How could this happen?
Although Fangzheng wanted to ask Jeanne what was going on in her mind, the battle between him and Jeanne had attracted the attention of other servants. Right now, these servants were approaching the location of the battle between the two sides. Therefore, Fangzheng lifted Jeanne up, and then used a teleportation spell to run away as a sign of respect …
When the servants of the Black Faction arrived at the battlefield, apart from the ruins, Fangzheng and Jeanne were nowhere to be seen.
"Whoosh!!"
A magical glow flashed in the air. The next moment, Fangzheng carried Jeanne to a flat ground in the mountains. He looked around and then threw Jeanne, who was still weak, to the ground. Although Jeanne was still conscious at the moment, perhaps because she had consumed too much power in the previous battle, she couldn't even stand up at this moment.
And ….
Thinking of this, Fangzheng glanced at Jeanne. Noticing his gaze, Jeanne could not help but curl up her body and stare at him in horror. At this moment, she had completely lost her previous majestic appearance. She was just like an ordinary girl …. Huh?
"You're Jeanne's body?"
Fangzheng observed carefully and found that there were two souls in the girl's body. One of them was quite weak, and the other was very ordinary. It seemed that Jeanne had consumed too much energy in the battle with Fangzheng and had now curled up in a corner to sleep. But now, the girl had regained control of this body.
"Y-yes."
Hearing Fangzheng's question, Jeanne – no, the girl replied with a trembling voice. Fangzheng was not surprised by her reaction. After all, he had just pierced her chest with a sword. Although it was obvious that Jeanne had saved her life, even so, it must have left a very deep impression on her.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Leticia …"
"I'm Fangzheng … Well, I'm sorry to have startled you, but this is the Holy Grail War. I think you should understand now."
As he spoke, Fangzheng found a rock and sat down. Then, he took out a piece of cake from his inventory. After fighting for such a long time, he was a little hungry. He wanted to eat some supper to fill his stomach. But just as Fangzheng was enjoying his cola and cake, a voice broke the silence.
"Gulp …"
Hearing this voice, Fangzheng looked at Leticia again. The girl blushed and lowered her head.
"I'm sorry, I haven't eaten for a long time. Jeanne has been busy traveling all this time …"
"That's why you abused your body? The Saintess' hobbies are really special. "
While saying that, Fangzheng reached out his hand again and pulled out a Fat Otaku Happy Meal from the void. He was originally saving it for Illya and Blackie as snacks, but now it seemed that someone else needed it more than them.
"Try it. It's a little cold, but it should taste good."
"Huh?"
Leticia was stunned when she saw the Fat Otaku Happy Meal that Fangzheng handed over.
"Can I … eat it?"
"Of course, you're not my enemy. I'm not that cruel to watch a little girl starve."
"Thank, thank you …"
Leticia hesitated for a moment when she heard Fangzheng's answer, then reached out to take the Fat Otaku Happy Meal and began to enjoy it. At first, perhaps because Fangzheng was next to her, she tried to maintain her composure with small bites, but after a few bites of the burger, hunger quickly overwhelmed her will. Soon, the girl in front of her became like a bear before hibernation, sweeping away the entire meal like a whirlwind. Of course, she also finished the large glass of Fat Otaku Happy Drink.
"Phew … Thank you, Mr. Fangzheng."
After eating, Leticia couldn't help but burp. Then, she lowered her head in embarrassment and thanked Fangzheng. Fangzheng waved his hand.
"You're welcome. It's nothing."
"Then … Mr. Fangzheng, can I ask you something?"
Perhaps because Fangzheng didn't look as scary as before, coupled with the kindness of the meal, Leticia didn't seem as afraid of Fangzheng as before. She carefully raised her head and looked at Fangzheng uneasily. Although she didn't say it out loud, Fangzheng knew what she wanted to say.
"You want to ask me why I broke the rules and attacked Jeanne?"
"Yes …"
Leticia nodded when she heard this.
"Miss Jeanne is a good person …"
"It has nothing to do with whether she's a good person or not."
Fangzheng waved his hand, interrupting Leticia's explanation.
"Whether it's the Black Side or the Red Side, there are good people, but that doesn't mean anything. The Holy Grail War is still going on, and we still have to kill each other. The Great Holy Grail hasn't been activated, so after we eliminate the enemy, we have to attack those who we think are good. The winner takes everything, and the loser dies. This is the rule of the Holy Grail War. For me, whether it's Jeanne or the Followers of the Red Side, they are all enemies who stop me from getting the Holy Grail, so whether she's a good person or a saint, only death awaits her. "
"… I'm sorry …"
"There's nothing to apologize for. It's not your fault."
As he spoke, Fangzheng reached out his hand, picked up the stone beside him, and placed it on the ground in front of him.
"It's normal for people at this age to be full of fantasies. The Holy Grail War, the battle of the past heroes, this kind of thing does sound romantic. But in the end, it's just a group of fools chasing after their own hopes killing each other. Betrayal, conspiracy, assassination, these are not uglier than a beautiful duel. By the way, how is Jeanne now? "
"She's resting. She seems to have suffered a serious injury …"
After all, if it weren't for the three tokens that suddenly appeared, he would have burned her soul.
Hearing Leticia's answer, Fangzheng shrugged. Of course, he would not attack an ordinary person who had nothing to do with him. Although Fangzheng's sword pierced through Leticia's chest, it avoided the most important heart and blood vessels, and the First Flame of the Soul burned Jeanne's soul …. Jeanne's soul had probably become quite weak by now.
It was already lucky that it was not directly burned.
"Okay, I have something to do. You can rest there for a while."
After Fangzheng said this, Leticia curled up her body obediently and stared at Fangzheng curiously without saying a word. Fangzheng did not care about the little girl anymore. He stretched out his hand, took out precious gems from his inventory, and chanted an incantation in a low voice.
Soon, magic power began to dance on Fangzheng's fingertips again. It absorbed the magic stored in the gems, and the wandering magic runes formed invisible chains. They crossed the distant boundary and entered the hidden realm that ordinary people could not reach, calling out to the ancient, mysterious existence.
Soon, with Fangzheng's casting of the spell, the randomly placed stones in front of him slowly floated into the air. Following that, sparks spread across the ground, attracting the stone fragments like a magnet, condensing them into a constantly spinning golden sphere. Fangzheng could vaguely feel the aura coming from this golden sphere, which was the same aura he felt in the command incantation.
"You know why I called you."
Fangzheng stared at the golden sphere in front of him.
"We are not children anymore. We should speak and do things more straightforwardly. I am not interested in the guidance and prayers of the gods, and I am even more unwilling to guess the riddles given by others. So if you have something to say, don't make such a roundabout move. Isn't it better to say something practical? "
The golden sphere began to rotate, and soon, a mirror image appeared in Fangzheng's mind.
The cracked, dry land was in the wilderness, and gray clouds shrouded the entire sky. The whole world was shrouded in the shadow of death. The planet was about to die, like an old man about to step into his grave, with only his last breath left. In the clouds, humans riding steel and huge monsters were fighting each other. Explosions, destruction, and death. All of this seemed to be the last microcosm of the planet …
The planet was not afraid of death. Even if it was destroyed by the race it gave birth to, it would not feel resentment because of this. Because it believed that after the destruction of its mother, those races would also usher in destruction.
But this was not the case.
Humans had surpassed the limits of the mother planet. Even if the planet was completely dead, they could still survive.
This made the planet afraid.
The planet had developed an unprecedented fear of the human species.
They would not care about any planet, let alone other wills. They would be like locusts, greedily destroying everything for their own survival. What they left behind was only death and destruction.
For this reason, before the planet died, it sent out its last message, calling the supreme wills of the other eight planets and making a request to them.
Please kill all living things.
"So, you need my help."
Fangzheng narrowed his eyes and stared at the sphere in front of him.
"… … …"
The golden sphere began to rotate again. Then, lines of information appeared in Fangzheng's mind.
Is this your condition?
Closing his eyes, Fangzheng carefully felt the will coming from the mysterious distance. He thought for a moment and shook his head.
"This is not enough. Since you desire redemption, show me your sincerity."
"… … …"
The golden sphere paused for a moment. Then, a new image appeared in Fangzheng's mind. Seeing this image, the corners of Fangzheng's mouth curled up slightly.
