Chapter 456 Do you want to really live?
The wind is howling--

A violent gust of wind blew from the flat ground, casting a huge shadow on the scorched land, and the jet-black dragon kept flapping its wings and suspended in the sky a thousand meters above the ground.

It quietly overlooks the scorched earth below, its golden vertical pupils are full of the majesty of the predators at the top of the food chain, and the faint dragon's might spreads around, oppressing all directions.

This reborn giant dragon was given relevant instructions, that is, to monitor this land and not allow any living creature to escape.

Especially those soft-bodied creatures, or flexible reptiles with a dark hard shell and full of mechanical sense, they are all targeted.

Although the probability of them surviving the previous thunderstorm washout is very slim, they must not be careless because of this.If you find it, just spray a mouthful of dragon's breath and burn the earth, you're welcome.

"Humph!"

The wind was blowing fiercely, and Jeanne Alter raised her head on the ground and looked at the huge dragon species in the sky. She didn't know what she was thinking. After a while, she snorted again impatiently.

She felt very contempt for Fafnir, who had completely rebelled. Although this dragon species still obeyed her orders, it was only because that guy didn't take back control.

God-created creatures have no way to resist the gods, and the same is true for creatures endowed with divinity. As long as the power of divinity is activated, it is basically equivalent to being implanted with a control plug from the soul.

Unless it is strong enough to actively absorb divinity, in turn obliterate the will and imprint in it, and use pure spirituality for its own use.

Otherwise, as long as the other party has a single thought, they will be completely involuntary at that time.It can't even be said to be a marionette, but has no self at all, and will be influenced from the mind, so as to be loyal to the gods from the heart.

However, just like Joan of Arc Alter's current form of existence, Fafnir's soul has also been materialized, which is equivalent to being reborn, so it can exist apart from that world.

It is precisely because of this that an illusory ghost like myself can obtain a real life form.The Dragon Witch smiled self-deprecatingly, lowered her head and stopped staring at the dragon species in the air.

but……

This is of no use, what should be entangled is still entangled.

Looking at the silver hair fluttering in front of her eyes due to the strong wind from the wings of the dragon, she seemed to realize that she had changed from short hair to long hair after a while——

There is no particular reason, but after reshaping the body, it became like this.

At that time, Jeanne Alter also questioned her very angrily, but according to that guy, it had nothing to do with him at all, but her own fault.

Joan of Arc Alter is not a real Heroic Spirit, and there is no record on the Seat of Heroic Spirits, just a lonely ghost.But in any case, her existence was summoned by referring to the Holy Maiden of Orleans with the power of the Holy Grail as a template.

Even if it is a fake and imitated spirit foundation, at least it is really imitated, and the basic values ​​are the same as the real Joan of Arc.

Basically, it can be said that apart from the fundamental difference in essence, Joan of Arc Alter is almost exactly the same as Joan of Arc in other aspects, especially on the surface level, whether it is appearance, body, or other details of appearance.

Theoretically speaking, Joan of Arc Alter had only deliberately changed part of her image before, in order to distinguish herself from that hateful saint.

But when the third method is activated and the materialization of the soul begins, the power of magic will only follow the essence of her soul to materialize her body, and all disguises and disguises will not be able to change anything.

She also naturally... revealed her true colors.

"Damn...Damn, hate, hate!..."

Grabbing a strand of her long hair, Jeanne Alter stared at it blankly for a while, then suddenly felt inexplicably...uncomfortable!
Very upset.

Waving the curse flag in her hand vigorously, she cursed as if venting, and the burning red lotus flames followed the direction of the flag and quickly burned out on the ground along a straight line.

Soon, the ground area was cut in a criss-cross pattern, turning the surrounding area into a scorching hell.

Not long after, she stopped panting slightly.

The magic power in the body is extremely full, and it is still overflowing. It seems that the crazy release of skills just now will not consume mana.According to the rules of the Holy Grail War, her muscular strength is also A-level, and if it is converted into muscle tissue strength, it is probably more than [-] points.

This attribute is enough to support her to maintain a very high amount of exercise for ordinary people for a long period of time.

However, even though she didn't consume much physical strength and magic power, she suddenly felt a sudden sense of exhaustion—it didn't appear on her body, but rushed to her heart.

"..."

The girl stared at everything in front of her in a daze, the curse flag in her hand was slowly lowered, and the other end, which was powerless, leaned against the ground, letting the bright red flames lick it.

How should I put it, when she was just taken away from that world, her first feeling was actually very relaxed, as if she had completely let go of the burden in her heart——

Many times, people do not choose to escape, just because they cannot escape.

However, as long as one completely leaves the original environment, or even goes to another causally isolated universe, then all the original things will naturally not be so important.In the final analysis, Jeanne Alter herself was born only at the wish of Gilles de Ray.

Because the man felt that the saint who was burned to death should be angry and should take revenge on those people, so there was such a reason.

To put it bluntly, the real Joan of Arc has never had such an idea, so she has no possibility of being summoned from the perspective of an anti-hero.

Joan of Arc Alter is not the other side of that saint, but a dragon witch who has nothing to do with it and was born because of the power of the Holy Grail.

Whether it was anger, resentment, or thoughts of revenge, they were imposed only because of Gilles de Ray's wishes.The same is true of the memory and experience of being burned to death, which belonged to Joan, not her, and she had nothing to do with those who wanted revenge.

At the beginning, Jeanne Alter felt quite unhappy and angry about the fact that "she was the other side of that disgusting saint".

But when she was later told that the essence of her existence had nothing to do with that saint, she didn't feel relieved.

On the contrary, she became even more disgusted and confused——

"Why...was I born this way?"

This kind of thing is too cruel...Why me?Even if you are already in another universe, many times this kind of emotion will rush out from the bottom of your heart unintentionally.

Why do you have such an idea?Why bother with such a thing?As long as you make up your mind to ignore that world, then you will never have the chance to meet each other in the future, and you don't need anyone to prove your existence.

She stared blankly ahead, only feeling extremely tired for a moment, and also a doubt about the meaning of her own existence?
Maybe I shouldn't have escaped from the beginning, just be defeated and eliminated at that singularity, how good would that be?
Anyway, I am not a Heroic Spirit, and there is no record of the Spirit Base being engraved on the Throne of Heroic Spirits, so it would be a complete death...

The surrounding red lotus fire had no "fuel" to continue burning. After the magic power released was exhausted, the fire gradually became smaller and subsided slowly.

The gust of wind has long since subsided, because the giant dragon in the air decisively hit its wings at the beginning and quickly lifted off to leave this area. It is very afraid of the fire of the red lotus.

Because Jeanne Alter is no longer a Servant, and she doesn't have any treasures. Although she still has the ability to control and dominate the dragon species, but only this ability is undoubtedly not enough.

So Mu Xiu simply reduced the scale of the forbidden spell he created before, and after retaining the strength, loaded it on her flag. As long as the magic power is infused, it can directly activate the red lotus fire——

The effect is to burn all sinful targets, using the sinful karma itself as fuel, no matter what life form exists, as long as there is sin, it will cause the karmic fire to swim past, and it will prey on its own prey as if it is alive.

If the straight-line distance between them is only a thousand meters, even if the giant dragon is high in the sky, there is no guarantee that the red lotus fire will directly rush up to wrap around it.You know, this thing doesn't make sense, so it's better to just stay away.

I don't know how long it took before the surrounding flames were all extinguished.

The witch with long silver hair and black skirt bit her lower lip, regained her senses listlessly, retracted the curse flag hanging from the ground, and then turned around.

Immediately afterwards, her figure froze slightly: "You!... When did you come here!"

Mu Xiu tilted his head thoughtfully, gave her a strange look, and then tried his best to speak as if nothing happened, pretending to be relaxed: "It won't be long, let's..."

"Wait, wait! How long is not long! Tell me clearly!" Joan of Arc Alter became angry in an instant.

Because she is no longer a Servant, she is no longer bound by the previous command spell, so naturally she will not call Mu Xiu a god or something.

In fact, as if to vent out the previous anger, she was not polite in addressing her, always speaking directly in the second person.It is impossible for her to become a devout believer. The relationship between the two parties is more like the relationship between an employer and an employee than a master-slave relationship.

How should I put it, in fact, it can be understood like this: Mu Xiu helped her obtain a real life form, and took her out of that world, and as a price, she helped Mu Xiu to do things but not for him. .

"Be clear..." The young man's tone became weird, "Are you sure you really want to play such a shameful game? How about everyone pretend that nothing happened too much?"

"you--!!"

The Dragon Witch's face turned red all of a sudden, she was almost mad at the other party, but felt that her anger was constantly accumulating.

"What is there to worry about? Don't you just feel that you don't understand the meaning of life and want to truly live?" Mu Xiu waved his hand nonchalantly, "I've had this kind of confusion before, and it's normal. Don't feel embarrassed..."

"It's easy for you to say, but how can my situation be the same as yours!"

Jeanne Alter stared at him, gritted her teeth, and was furious.

"I have been different from you since the beginning of my existence. I am just a copy of that woman! A copy of another person, do you know!! How can you understand my mood!"

"..."

"..."

"Is it just for this reason?"

The next moment, Mu Xiu smiled lightly, without any sense of irony, and only felt a sense of indifference from him.

"You obviously don't understand anything..."

However, this made the witch's anger even higher. She lowered her head and squeezed her ten fingers tightly, especially the knuckles of the hand holding the flagpole turned white, making a weird rattling sound.

Mu Xiu looked at her quietly for a while, as if he didn't pay attention to her at all: "No, I understand very well. Because when I first started—it was actually the same situation as yours."

"……what?"

When the witch looked up in surprise and suddenly, it was as if she saw it by coincidence.

The boy in front of him was looking up at the sky without any concern, as if he was looking at something important that he would never see again.

It's like expressing a feeling of loneliness that no one understands.
