A Villain's Journey Begins in the Type-Moon World

The Assassin, who was suddenly attacked in the city, hid for a long time and, after not sensing the enemy's next attack, finally led the monsters and zombies out to investigate the source of the inexplicable attack.

Unfortunately, for Siegfried, who had already gone far away, The Phantom of the Opera was destined to be a fruitless endeavor.

Wang Chong turned his gaze away from The Phantom of the Opera, but he still couldn't sense Andusias's figure there.

Yes, Andusias, the Demon Lord. In fact, after hearing Siegfried describe the attack he had suffered, Wang Chong immediately thought of the corresponding Demon Lord Pillar.

In fact, Andusias was in charge of the First Singularity, but it did not manifest because of Mozart.

Mozart has yet to find it, but the strange sonic attack method of the Music Demon has emerged, which makes perfect sense.

"So it really was the Demon God Pillar behind all this? But how did the Demon God Pillar know my whereabouts?"

Wang Chong frowned deeply, pondering the reason behind it, and thought to himself:

"I still haven't been able to feel the gaze. You know, when I used Wang Cai and that guy Gilgamesh just now, I felt Gilgamesh's gaze from the past."

Meanwhile, Siegfried's side had not received any news of being attacked from the unknown, and it seemed that the other side had completely gone into hiding, just as he had expected.

"Siegfried, there's no need to try using Noble Phantasms for now. You should lie low near Lyon."

Wang Chong transmitted a message to Siegfried through the black mist, and then got up from the stone platform.

Seemingly noticing Wang Chong's movement, Mary quickly asked, "What's wrong? Did you discover something?"

"No...no, the other party didn't come out. It seems you guessed right, Mary," Wang Chong shook his head and said.

“This is really boring… Is that mastermind also such a coward? So where do we go next?” Mary asked.

“Let’s go, rescue some passersby, make some road signs, and then wait in Lasa Ritai.”

After Wang Chong finished speaking calmly, he enveloped Mary and the sleeping Albion in black mist, and together they began to fly towards other cities.

"Speaking of which... we could also try to make contact with the young Jill who is still alive in this world."

Wang Chong narrowed his eyes, his mind racing.

……

The war between monsters and humans continues to rage throughout France, and even at night, things have only calmed down slightly, nothing more.

The exhausted soldiers began to succumb to despair and self-doubt. Could they truly protect their homeland from being defeated by those vengeful demons?

Night eventually fell deep, and regardless of their emotional turmoil, people eventually drifted into a deep sleep, praying that God would bring hope for tomorrow.

The next day, in the morning.

Near the small village of Domrémy, the former hometown of Joan of Arc, a ripple appeared in a certain space.

Then, a purple-haired girl wielding a shield and an orange-haired girl in white appeared together on the fertile plain. Around them, a blue-and-white four-legged beast hopped and skipped around them.

"Phew... We successfully transferred, senior."

The visitors were none other than Mash, the Demi-Servant of Chaldea, and her Master, Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Seemingly celebrating the two's successful transfer, the four-legged beast merrily emitted "Fuwoo! Fuwoo!" sounds.

"Huh? Fou? Why did you follow me again?" Mashu said, somewhat surprised.

"Did Fou run into Mash's basket?" Ritsuka asked, slightly surprised when she saw Fou.

"Maybe, but thankfully Fou arrived unharmed. Since Fou came with us, she'll probably go back with us too," Mashu said. After discussing Fou's situation, Mashu checked the current timeline and then gave Ritsuka a brief explanation.

However, Ritsuka wasn't interested in the historical content. As she looked around, she suddenly noticed the large halo above and exclaimed, "Mash, look up at the sky!"

"What's wrong... Huh?" Mash looked in the direction of Ritsuka's voice and naturally saw the same sight of the large halo.

Just then, Dr. Roman's video finally connected. After noticing that the two of them were looking at the sky, he asked them a few questions.

Mashu's transmission of the images from the sky caused a series of surprises from Dr. Roman. However, with so many things to do, Ritsuka and the others simply didn't have the energy to explore the great halo.

Therefore, after Dr. Roman entrusted the task of analyzing the Great Light Wheel to himself, he instructed Mashu and Ritsuka to search for information in the city, find the ley lines to establish the summoning formula, and most importantly, find Wang Chong, who had entered this singularity in advance.

“Hey, senior, look, this seems to be a symbol left by Mr. Wang Chong.”

When Mash and Ritsuka arrived on the road from the fertile land, they immediately noticed a trail of black mist on the road sign, and the code information on it had already pointed them in the right direction.

"Northwest? We should just follow this road," Ritsuka said, recalling the meaning of the symbols.

So the two of them quickly ran along the path, hoping to meet Wang Chong as soon as possible. After all, with such a powerful magician as Wang Chong around, the subsequent tasks would be much simpler and easier.

However, neither of them expected that they would be greeted not by Wang Chong, but by a French unit.

Chapter 27 Showdown

"Has it finally arrived?"

Wang Chong opened his eyes, feeling the black mist symbols he had set up being triggered, followed by the fluctuations of battle. Wang Chong knew that this was because the Chaldea team had arrived.

Without any hesitation, he pinched Mary's cheek, who was still fast asleep, and then began to prepare for departure.

"The timing is perfect; Jeanne Alter and her men are also preparing to launch their attack on La Salite today."

After confirming the situation with Jeanne d'Arc Alter through Martha, Wang Chong began to condense a black mist platform, preparing to march towards Lasarita as well.

"As expected, Elizabeth, Kiyohime, and Saint George only showed up today. As for Siegfried, he still hasn't brought out Andusias. In that case, don't blame me for pressing the fast forward button."

After sensing the situation in other regions again, Wang Chong, along with the awakened Mary and Albion, began to fly slowly towards Lasarita.

Meanwhile, at Chaldea, Ritsuka and Mash temporarily repelled the French soldiers after their battle. They then followed the French soldiers to Vaucouleur Castle.

Soon, the two sides made contact again. This time, Mashu communicated with them in French, pretending to be travelers, which successfully put their hostility at ease. However, before they could exchange much information, a large number of skeleton soldiers and wyverns attacked the city.

So Mash and Ritsuka threw themselves back into the battle. But it was far too difficult for Mash alone to fight such a large number of dragons. The other French soldiers were also in disarray, and their resistance against the dragons was very limited.

Fortunately, at this critical moment, Joan of Arc made a successful appearance, not only giving orders that finally calmed the soldiers down and allowed them to fight, but also successfully making contact with the Chaldean side.

However, although Joan of Arc appeared earlier this time under Wang Chong's arrangement, it did not change the French soldiers' attitude towards her.

Perhaps it was because Jeanne d'Arc (Black) did things that were even more outrageous and flamboyant that, although she saved Brutus, she still could not escape the soldiers' pursuit.

Fortunately, Joan of Arc, now knowing the whole story, did not hold it against her.

After meeting Mash and Ritsuka, Jeanne d'Arc, following Wang Chong's instructions, did not reveal her true identity directly. Just as depicted in the original story, she said that she did not know why she was summoned to this era.

“Senior, it seems that this Joan of Arc is different from the one we have in Chaldea. I originally thought that the Joan of Arc who came was Mr. Wang Chong’s.”

During the journey with Jeanne d'Arc to La Salite, Mash couldn't help but have a private conversation with Ritsuka.

"This phenomenon is quite normal. In fact, there may even be Servants with the same hero but in different states at the same time. To put it simply, Servants are like projections of Heroic Spirits."

At this moment, Dr. Roman's voice said:

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen Lord Wang Chong's two Servants named 'Jeanne' much these past two days... Could it be that they both went to the Singularity with him?"

"Speaking of Mr. Wang Chong, I just saw the road signs again, which seem to be guiding us to Lassarita Castle as well. However, in addition to the directional signs, there are also several signs indicating the danger level."

At this moment, Ritsuka also spoke up appropriately.

"A close call... which means we might encounter a similar monster again? Anyway, you need to search for information and find out what's going on with that 'Dragon Witch' Jeanne. That might be the key to solving this singularity."

"Dr. Roman said."

So, the Chaldea group finally arrived at Lazarite Castle, following the original plan. But what awaited them there was indeed the "surprise" they had imagined.

"Wait! The Servant who just left has turned back! Oh no, it seems they've noticed your presence!" Dr. Roman's urgent voice rang out.

"How many people?" Mashu asked hurriedly.

"Hey, stop joking... This isn't a close call at all! The enemy has five Servants! And one of them is a guy with an extremely high rank!"

Looking at the analytical data in front of him, Dr. Roman hurriedly said:

"They're moving very fast... Could they be cavalry or something?! Anyway, run! Since we can't outnumber them, we have no choice but to run!"

"But--"

Mashu was about to say something when Dr. Roman interrupted her:

"If the numbers are equal, you can certainly fight each other! But how can I let you fight against an opponent whose fighting power is many times greater than yours?!"

"Let's retreat! Anyone would choose to run away in this situation! That's what the Thirty-Six Stratagems say too!"

Dr. Roman's urgency made it clear to everyone that the other party was coming on strong.

Martha tried to dissuade Jeanne from leaving, but Jeanne, who knew the script, knew that this first encounter was a test for the Chaldeans. Therefore, just as depicted in the story, she refused to retreat until she understood the reason behind Jeanne's alter ego.

In the midst of this struggle, the three humans and one beast lost their chance to escape. The five Servants, riding flying dragons, descended slowly through the sky before the three humans' eyes.

The group of people who came were a host of enemy Servants, led by Jeanne Alter, followed by Vlad III, Camilla, Martha, D'Eon, and Atalanta.

The moment Jeanne Alter's eyes met Jeanne's, the exchange was complete. Jeanne Alter's expression turned cold, and she slowly said, "—I really didn't... expect it. I never... never expected this to happen."

Then, as if mocking himself, he raised the corners of his mouth, as if he had seen a joke, and continued:

"Hey. Please, can someone pour some cold water on my head? This is terrible, this is really bad, I'm going crazy. Because if it weren't for this, I'd probably die laughing at this ridiculous scene!" "Hey, look, Jill! That poor little girl! What is that? Termites? Rats? Earthworms? They're all pretty much the same! So insignificant they don't even evoke my sympathy!"

"Ugh, really—a country that can only rely on this little girl is even worse than a rat kingdom!"

As if venting her emotions, she spoke at length. However, Jeanne Alter seemed to realize that no one was responding to her, and said with some dissatisfaction:

“Hey Jill, you say something too—oh, right. I didn’t bring Jill with me.”

It has to be said that even Joan of Arc seemed to be seeing the Black Joan of Arc before her for the first time. She couldn't help but sigh, there is indeed a difference between those who have memories and those who only read the script. Just this vivid and expressive delivery made her feel somewhat ashamed of herself.

However, now is not the time for lamentation. As the only one who can act opposite Jeanne d'Arc Alter, he is also having his own thoughts stirred, and he asks Jeanne d'Arc Alter all sorts of questions, only to be mercilessly mocked back by Jeanne d'Arc Alter.

Seemingly tired of Joan of Arc's "boring" questions, Black Joan of Arc finally gave the order to send Vlad III and Camilla to deal with Mash and Joan of Arc.

Thus, the battle between Servants began at this time.

However, unseen by them, a platform of black mist quietly appeared.

"Oh dear... have they already started fighting?" Mary exclaimed, looking at the scene below.

"Yes, it's Vlad III and Camilla from yesterday. Both are infamous vampires." Wang Chong revealed their backgrounds completely.

“Then, my dear, let’s go down now and take them all down!” Mary exclaimed.

"No rush, wait a little longer. Have you forgotten what I told you before? These people from Chaldea need some battles to hone their skills."

Wang Chong instructed:

"First, rescue the surviving civilians in the city and lead them to the nearest location where the French soldiers have set up camp. Also, don't forget to spread the word that there are two Joan of Arcs."

“Yes, that’s right. Protecting the people of the country is the responsibility I’m here to bear.” Mary nodded.

So Wang Chong marked the locations of the survivors he had detected with the black mist and inputted them into Mary's mind.

Mary then prepared herself and rode off at breakneck speed in her steed—a magnificent horse made of glass.

After Mary left, Wang Chong continued to survey the entire city of Lasharita. Chaldea had now encountered the anomalies of this world, and he would continue to wait and see if any further disturbances would occur.

"System, please check the situation for me as well. If there is anything unusual, or if anyone is spying on me, immediately pinpoint the target," Wang Chong said slowly.

"Yes! Host, just watch, I will definitely find that hidden rat." The system assured him confidently.

Chapter 28 Mary Saves the Day

"You couldn't even take down a little girl... or did you suddenly go easy on her?"

Camilla effortlessly dealt with a saint who was deliberately putting on an act, while simultaneously mocking Vlad III for failing to subdue Mashu.

"Your kindness is completely at odds with your appearance. You don't seem like a vampire known as the 'Dracul' at all, do you?"

“'Dracul'... Could it be..." Upon hearing this word, Mashu seemed to remember something, and her gaze towards Vlad III changed.

“Vlad III…the greatest hero of Romania. Commonly known as the ‘Piercing Prince’…!” Dr. Roman revealed the other’s real name.

"...I never expected you to reveal my real name in public. It's unpleasant. It's really very unpleasant."

Vlad III sheathed his weapon and stared coldly at Camilla.

"What does it matter? Even if it's a bad reputation, as long as I'm not forgotten by the world, I'll choose to do it. Besides... I prefer people to call me by my real name. With despair and terror, plus a little bit of seasoning called hope."

Camilla, too, sheathed her weapon, and with a slightly dangerous smile, continued:

"Because no matter when, the most beautiful cries always come from the little squirrels who think they can finally escape."

"Yet in the end, it was you, Elizabeth Bathory, who was driven to your doom by those who truly escaped. No, Camilla, what a pathetic and ridiculous end."

At this time, Vlad III not only mocked the other party, but also revealed Camilla's real name.

"...They really don't understand romance. That's why I dislike people who have a samurai spirit at their core. They've all fallen into vampire ways, yet they still cling to their noble ideals."

Camilla sighed and said.

"—Are you saying that I haven't given up my faith yet?" Camilla's words made Vlad III ponder. Could it be that the reason he couldn't win over this little girl named Mash was because of this?
