That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

Jeanne Alter let out a painful groan, her delicate body covered in black armor trembling uncontrollably, and bright red wings lit up on her back.

The silver-haired saintess laughed wildly: "More! Even greater power!"

"Boring! Boring! Boring! This ending is just like being burned at the stake back then... Utterly boring."

Hall's expression changed slightly as he witnessed this scene, gradually becoming more and more strange.

So that's how it is.

Inherent skill: Self-modification

Skill Level: EX

Functions that originally required the Holy Grail can now be performed solely through the magic of Command Seals.

The Ruler-class spirit origin is being reversed. In pursuit of greater power, Jeanne d'Arc Alter has chosen to reverse and become the [Avenger] class. It can be said that Jeanne d'Arc Alter is becoming the one in FGO, but there will be differences in essence. The Jeanne d'Arc Alter in this world is not a fantasy or fiction, but a cursed summoning of Howl mixed into the evil of this world.

By changing her class from Ruler to Avenger, Jeanne Alter will lose her EX-level Magic Resistance, but will significantly enhance her offensive capabilities and activate some skills that were previously unusable.

It's hard to say whether it's good or bad; rather than struggling and dying helplessly, Jeanne Alter chose to fight to the very last moment.

"This is truly...unexpected joy." Hall's eyes sparkled, and his delighted smile deepened.

The flames of hatred spread rapidly, and their curse-like nature became even more pronounced and intense.

The operation of the inherent barrier was hindered and burned away by the karmic fire of hatred from hell.

The line dividing the world was stained crimson, and the earth was scorched and melted, turning into a boundless lava lake.

Hall, the culprit who created Purgatory, slowly raised his head, revealing his signature wicked smile: "Sorry to keep you waiting. What a nice view. You burned through the Reality Barrier so quickly."

Jeanne Alter underwent a dramatic transformation. She originally had short, silver-white hair, wore a skirt armor, and a black cloak. The hem of her skirt was dyed reddish-purple like burning flames, exuding a wild and awe-inspiring aura.

Now, Jeanne d'Arc Alter's silver-white hair almost reached the ground, and her purple-black cloak had disappeared. Although she was still wearing a purple-black skirt armor, her temperament was more mature and charming.

It feels like she's transformed from a chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) girl into an elegant lady, further highlighting her wicked nature.

In short, it went from being upgraded from the first to the third level, and not only its abilities but also its "artwork" received an epic upgrade.

Jeanne d'Arc Alter now possesses the ability to threaten the continued existence of this Reality Marble.

Conversely, having lost her EX-level anti-magic power, she will be threatened by Howl's magic.

Chapter 216 The Dragon Witch (It's best to refresh the page after clicking in)

Before long, heaven and earth turned upside down, indistinguishable from one another, and the concept of the world was swallowed up by more than half.

The dark red sun in the sky revealed its true form, getting infinitely closer, transforming from the size of a coin into a black hole that filled the field of vision, slowly devouring the distant horizon.

The direction of gravity was reversed, and from Hall's perspective, who was floating in mid-air, the world was spinning, and it was spinning along the horizontal axis. The land, which had long since turned into a sea of ​​lava, was being drunk up by the black sun.

When the last of the matter is consumed, the world will return to peace.

Before that, Hall needed to deal with the troublesome Servant at hand—the Avenger-class Jeanne d'Arc Alter.

On the surface, she lost her EX-level magic resistance by changing from the Ruler class to the Avenger class, which would inevitably weaken her defense. However, Hall ultimately underestimated Jeanne Alter.

Ruler, who is supplied with mana by the Greater Grail system, possesses almost inexhaustible mana. However, it's not that she has an endless supply of mana; the mana she receives from the Grail is like a small water pipe continuously releasing water. Although it's endless, it's not the kind of mana that bursts out all at once.

Nevertheless, the dual-class skills of the Avenger class can compensate for the lack of burst damage, allowing for a continuous release of Abomination Fire.

[Self-reply]

Grade: A+

Magic will flow continuously until the revenge ends.

【the Avengers】

Grade: B

Born from resentment, the stronger the hatred, the higher the supply of magic power one will receive.

Flames! Flames! Flames!

The witch's maniacal laughter filled the crumbling world, and the subterranean fire, drawn by gravity, connected with the heavens and eventually enveloped the entire world.

That was not simply hatred and karmic fire; due to the class change, another hidden skill of Jeanne d'Arc Alter was activated.

Dragon Witch

Rank: EX

Possessing the power of the dragon race is a reversal phenomenon seen in saints like Martha or Giorgios, who are known for their ability to dispel the dragon race.

Even more exaggerated than Saber's red dragon bloodline, the dragon factor within the witch's body is almost equivalent to the dragon itself, hence the concept of dragon breath is given to the hatred fire.

What the witch saw and felt, the only thought that sprang from her wicked nature, was to burn! Burn! Burn! To burn everything before her eyes to ashes!

"All evil is here! My hatred, my loathing... feel it!" With Jeanne Alter's unruly and evil laughter, flames gathered and formed a flying dragon several meters long, which spread its wings and roared as it crashed into Hall in the sky.

The fiery dragon was terrifying in appearance, opening its mouth as if to swallow Hall whole.

The Abomination Fire, which embodies the concept of dragon's breath, possesses both destructive and cursing properties. It is virtually impossible to analyze its internal workings in a short period of time, meaning that it cannot be defended against using any tricks.

"Oh."

Hall squinted, holding up the miniature sun in one hand. With nowhere to step in this burning, broken world, and seeing the fiery dragon approaching, he simply threw the miniature sun into the sea of ​​lava.

After the fall, the sea of ​​lava continued to boil.

Boom!

Due to the unstable state of the world, the sea of ​​lava was directly detonated, creating a giant wave of lava hundreds of meters high that submerged the Fiery Dragon.

On the other hand, Jeanne Alter, utilizing the characteristics of the Dragon Witch concept, created real dragons. Hundreds and thousands of evil dragons were born from the flames of hatred and took flight.

Beneath Jeanne d'Arc Alter's feet was a colossal dragon gradually materializing from the flames of hatred. Its entire body was jet black, with blue light flowing through its black scales—a typical image of a Western dragon.

Hall sensed its concept and recognized its true identity as Fafnir, the giant dragon slain by the great hero Siegfried, a being that ranked among the top even among all dragon species.

The Lord of Evil Dragons and all the evil dragons soared into the sky, forming an overwhelming dragon army. Jeanne Alter stood atop Fafnir's head, raising a black banner and unleashing the flames of hatred, using them as her sharpest spear and her strongest shield.

"Burn, burn, burn everything to ashes! This is the roar of a soul baptized by hatred, roar! My wrath!!"

She's gone mad, Jeanne Alter has gone completely mad, and then the world has gone mad too. Is there any reason for her not to be happy?

"In the name of the Command Spell, use all magic and all means to banish Joan of Arc to the ends of the earth."

Hall chuckled with pleasure, his immense magical power converging in his right hand, the seven-colored halo gradually unifying into a pure silver-gray, like a thunderclap.

"Pierce through!"

Hall raised his right hand high and threw the True Aether Lightning. The moment it left his palm, the True Aether Lightning instantly split into thousands of beams, each with the power equivalent to a B-rank Noble Phantasm.

Sizzle~ Sizzle~ Sizzle~ Sizzle~ Sizzle~!

The myriad birds, in unison, were engulfed by a rain of thunder, and one after another, they fell from the sky with mournful cries, only to be swallowed by the sea of ​​lava on the ground.

Only Fafnir, who was at the forefront, was unharmed. He did not need the protection of Jeanne Alter's Abomination Fire. Fafnir's scales had A-level magic resistance and B-level physical immunity. Under the effect of dual immunity, even if True Aether Lightning hit his scales, it could only leave a white mark.

Jeanne Alter, her body enveloped in a raging inferno, fearlessly sneered as she commanded, "Roar, Fafnir! Let the enemy witness the power of a dragon!"

Hey~

The dragon Fafnir opened its mouth, and karmic fire burned within it, forming a huge sphere of karmic fire. With each breath, it spewed out a torrent of hateful karmic fire that surged toward Hall like a monstrous wave.

Hall reached out and activated a magic circle. The next second, his body was engulfed by dragon breath and instantly burned away, but he had no physical form.

"A trick of spatial teleportation, ugh, annoying magician."

Jeanne Alter looked around, a sense of unease creeping into her heart. She looked up and saw the magical symbols embedded in the sky, much larger than before, each one brimming with immense magical power.

"That bastard, were all those magical spells in the sky meant to accumulate power from the start? That means even if he's at a disadvantage, it's still part of his calculations," Jeanne Alter cursed under her breath.

The magic circles linked together, transforming into a single ritual circle that blotted out the sky. Magic flowed and gathered at the front, forming a massive wind pressure field.

Pseudo-Divergence Sword

Although Hall's Mystic Eyes cannot analyze Ea, he is very clear about Ea's setting information, and can imitate it based on this concept.

The wind pressure field shattered the magic circle shortly after it appeared, falling from the sky into the evil dragon legion and crushing hundreds of evil dragons in a matter of moments.

The sky was filled with the wails of evil dragons. Jeanne Alter and Fafnir were both within the killing range of the wind pressure field, barely managing to stay safe under the protection of the abomination fire.

The raging wind pressure field continued to spread, weakening its power and increasing its range, until it enveloped and cleansed the entire evil dragon army.

A rain of dragon teeth, bones, blood, and remains fell upon the shattered world, cascading into the sea of ​​lava and filling the air with the aroma of roasted meat.

"It's much quieter this way, and it won't get in the way."

Hall appeared out of thin air in front of Jeanne Alter, face to face with her, holding an energy sphere in his hand. He slammed his hands together and drew a sword burning with flames from his palms.

Standing atop Fafnir's head, Jeanne d'Arc in Black gripped her black flag spear, raised her chin, and arrogantly praised, "You're quite capable, magician."

Chapter 217 The Pure Saintess

Hall has never had a fixed fighting style. As a Caster-class fighter, he can make full use of the class's abilities and also possesses martial arts skills rarely seen in Caster-class fighters. Overall, he is similar to Archer Shirou Emiya.

On the other hand, Hall's abilities as a magician and his martial arts skills are all superior to Archer Shirou Emiya, bringing more flexible and varied tactics and fighting styles.

Both being magicians, Archer Shirou Emiya, who only excels at projection magic, is as different from Howl as an immortal being and a Lord of Cinder.

buzz~

Hall manipulated the concept of elements, manifesting it in his hand as a flaming longsword. He twirled it gracefully, the blade pointing towards Jeanne d'Arc Alter in the distance. As he casually slashed down, the sword extended infinitely, transforming into a boundary that cut through the world.

Where the sword fell, all the floating lava fragments were cut in two, as if it were meant to cleave Jeanne Alter and Fafnir, the evil dragon lord beneath her feet, in two.

The powerful sword strike did not frighten Jeanne Alter. Her delicate and beautiful face was adorned with a cruel smile. She raised the Saint Catherine's Sword, which she had never used in her life, with her left hand. The flames of hatred clung to the blade, and she swung it out calmly, without any sharp swordplay or any remarkable movements.

boom!

The flaming longsword that clashed with it instantly collapsed and broke into several pieces.

The seemingly ordinary sword strike was as heavy as a mountain, no less than a defensive treasure. Hall could not find any possibility of breaking through the feedback from the flaming sword.

"As expected, it didn't work."

Hall's heart was solemn and serious. The Black Jeanne d'Arc, who had completed her self-modification, far surpassed him in terms of status. It was only because they were within the Reality Marble that they had room to maneuver. Without hesitation, he activated the magic circuit of his right eye to the maximum extent. Waves of pain stimulated Hall's nerves, and his face turned an abnormal red due to the blood pooling. He used his Mystic Eye to see, activating the magic crest of the broken flaming sword remotely.
