Chapter 30: ·My King VS Bluebeard
(Bluebeard)
If gods want to descend today, the only choice is to become a Heroic Spirit.
But it is not easy for powerful gods to become Heroic Spirits.
One is to downgrade their divinity; the representative figures are the Gorgon sisters.
Two is to become a Pseudo-Servant; Ishtar and Ereshkigal are both this choice.
Three is a clone; turning one of their clones into a Heroic Spirit to descend; Quetzalcoatl is like this.
For modern mages, the existence of gods is really too far away from them.
[Ding! The first question is about to begin!]
The start of the quiz successfully interrupted the commotion of Kayneth and the others.
[This question is a three-part quiz, please pay attention, group members.]
[Please watch the following video; there will be three questions in succession, each with 5 minutes to answer, and all group members can rush to answer.]
[Answering correctly earns 3 Saint Quartz, answering incorrectly deducts 1 Saint Quartz.]
[If no one answers correctly within 5 minutes, that question is void.]
[Please pay attention to the video below.]
[In the forest at night, Artoria is hurrying forward.]
[When she arrives at a clearing in the forest, she sees the ground full of children's corpses.]
["Welcome, Jeanne."]
[Bluebeard's figure appears behind Artoria, holding a child in one hand, dancing and saying: "What do you think of this tragic scene? It's very heartbreaking, isn't it."]
Tohsaka Rin: "Ah! What is this!"
Tohsaka Tokiomi: "Rin, Sakura, close your eyes and don't look at this scene."
Waver: "Bluebeard, you bastard! You actually killed so many children!"
Bluebeard: "Ah, what a beautiful scene."
Bluebeard: "It's a pity I couldn't descend, otherwise Jeanne, I would definitely prepare a grander banquet to entertain you."
Artoria: "You mongrel, if you dare to appear in front of me, I will definitely beat you until not even a residue is left."
My King is so angry she's swearing, which shows how furious she is now.
["Let go of that child, you bastard!"]
[Artoria turns quickly, wanting to act, but because she is worried about hurting the child, she can only stop.]
["Jeanne, since you want to save this child so much..."]
[Bluebeard lets go of the child directly, giggling: "Alright, little friend, be happy, the pious messenger of God says he wants to save you."]
[The terrified child immediately runs to Artoria and hugs her.]
["Alright, it's dangerous here, hurry and run..."]
[Artoria is comforting the child, but sees the child's body suddenly explode, turning into a pitch-black octopus monster, binding Artoria tightly.]
[And the surrounding children's corpses also turn into octopuses at the same time, surrounding Artoria.]
"What kind of monster is this!"
Everyone was startled by this scene.
Artoria: "Bluebeard, you guy!"
Lord El-Melloi II: "Gilles de Rais, no matter where I see you, you are so detestable." ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
Zhang Jiao: "Actually using humans as sacrifices to summon evil things, this is an evil path."
Waver: "Sorry, Feng Xi."
Feng Xi: "Hmm? What are you apologizing to me for?"
Waver: "Before, you killed that Ryuunosuke Uryuu, and I thought you went a bit too far, but now looking at it..."
Waver: "I should thank you for not letting this bastard descend, otherwise I don't know how many people would have died."
Diarmuid: "Indeed, I didn't expect such a villain could also become a Heroic Spirit, it's really..."
["I should have said, I will make the corresponding preparations before coming."]
[Bluebeard holds a book, excitedly saying.]
["Alright, I won't think this is competing for the Holy Grail anymore."]
[Artoria activates the ability of the Invisible Air, directly shattering the black octopus wrapped around her, and the anger in her eyes is clearly visible.]
["Ah, Jeanne, how noble and heroic you are."]
[Bluebeard still laughs: "Saint, even God would be eclipsed in front of you."]
["Shut up, Caster!"]
[Artoria angrily interrupts Bluebeard, shouting: "Now, I only swing this sword to kill you!"]
Conqueror King: "What exactly are these monsters?"
Waver: "They look a bit like sea monsters similar to the Kraken."
Feng Xi: "Then let's temporarily call them Sea Horrors."
Tohsaka Rin: "You actually gave them a name."
Feng Xi: "It's just a code name, otherwise just call them octopuses."
Tohsaka Rin: "Let's call them Sea Horrors."
[Artoria kills her way toward Bluebeard, and the Sea Horrors blocking her path are all cut down by her sword.]
[But the number of Sea Horrors is too many, and Artoria cannot break out of the encirclement for a while.]
Conqueror King: "Strange, King of Knights, your movements look a bit uncoordinated."
Diarmuid: "It should be because of the injury on the left hand."
Diarmuid: "This video should be in the same world as yesterday's video; the King of Knights' left hand should be unable to act because of my Yellow Rose of Mortality curse."
["Damn it, if only my left arm could still move..."]
[Artoria charges again, but these Sea Horrors seem endless; no matter how many she kills, the number doesn't decrease at all.]
["Damn it, is that guy's mana infinite?"]
[Artoria has already seen that it is Bluebeard who is constantly summoning new Sea Horrors.]
[But summoning such a large group of Sea Horrors should consume a lot of mana, but Bluebeard still has that smiling expression, as if nothing happened.]
["Could it be!"]
[Artoria suddenly discovers the problem, which is the book in Bluebeard's hand.]
Waver: "It seems that book is Bluebeard's Noble Phantasm, and its ability is to summon Sea Horrors."
Conqueror King: "Does anyone know what that book is?"
Lord El-Melloi II: "That book is called 'Prelati's Spellbook', it is both a Noble Phantasm and that guy's mana core."
Lord El-Melloi II: "Because Gilles de Rais is not a regular Jewel Jewel Mage and has no magical aptitude, he can only use magecraft relying on this grimoire, and the mana is also supplied by the book itself."
Kayneth: "No wonder that guy's mana seems endless."
Tohsaka Tokiomi: "He can't use any magecraft himself, and he can still be a Caster." ===== CHAPTER 60 =====
