Book 2: Chapter 22: This Rotten Old Woman Is Too Much

Chen Heng wanted to engage in close combat, as the spear’s advantage would increase significantly with distance. Furthermore, he could not use the sword regularly at such a range.

He pressed hard, but Jeanne d’Arc Alter maintained the gap, preventing him from approaching, and occasionally used her mana to push him back. The two ended up in a stalemate.

However…however, Jeanne d’Arc Alter did not attack normally. She targeted Chen Heng’s lower body. That was right—that specific spot.

This was called attacking the enemy’s weak point. There was nothing wrong in principle, but…

Chen Heng was a man. Although dying here would not affect his true body, a man’s dignity was on the line.

A soldier could be killed but not humiliated. Chen Heng took advantage of a gap in Jeanne d’Arc Alter’s attacks to draw a sword radiating a sharp aura.

The sword in Chen Heng’s hand was quite incredible. It was called the Sharp Metal Sword, possessing great offensive might and extreme sharpness. His father had used it as a Mind Dividing Realm cultivator.

In the following clashes with Jeanne d’Arc Alter’s weapon, Chen Heng aimed at the same spot on the flagpole. With a few strikes, he had already chipped it. Perhaps the flagpole would break after a few more strikes.

Jeanne d’Arc Alter quickly noticed this problem and retreated after one more clash.

Jeanne d’Arc Alter was no fool. If her weapon could not match Chen Heng’s and she persisted in clashing head-on, she would be the one to suffer in the end.

“What’s wrong? Are you not fighting anymore?” Chen Heng did not pursue Jeanne d’Arc Alter when he saw her put her weapon away. Instead, he gave her a strange look.

“Humph!” Jeanne d’Arc Alter did not reply, only snapping her fingers.

Chen Heng suddenly sensed danger and jinked. When he turned his head to look, a flame appeared where he initially stood. If he had not dodged…

Chen Heng looked at the wisp of cursed flames’ position before glancing at the area between his legs.

“Are you done yet? Why do you keep aiming for that spot? What happened to a close-combat battle? You are playing with fire?” Chen Heng felt enraged. This rotten old woman was too much, always aiming for his most important organ.

“I say, is your brain damaged? Of course, I have to aim for the most important place in a fight. Furthermore, who said I would fight in close combat with you?” Jeanne d’Arc Alter glanced at Chen Heng disdainfully.

“…” Chen Heng wanted to object to the first reason, but he could not. As for the latter reason…

If we aren’t fighting in close combat, you probably cannot even stand now. I have already set aside my most powerful ability for a close-combat battle with you. To think you attacked without following the rules!

“Come on, then! Receive the punishment of flames!” Jeanne d’Arc Alter waved and hurled a vast amount of flames at Chen Heng. Furthermore, these flames contained the aura of a curse.

What else could Chen Heng do? Dodge! He did not know where these cursed flames came from, so he did not know if his attraction barrier would work against them. His only choice, for now, was to dodge.

Since Jeanne d’Arc Alter gave up on close combat, Chen Heng put his Sharp Metal Sword away. Then, he took out 12 ordinary flying swords and used the Cyclic Demon Slaying Ritual Array’s control method to guide them.

The effect of these flying swords’ flight under Chen Heng’s attraction ability was the same as controlling them with spiritual energy. If he added mana to the flying swords, the result would be a simplified Cyclic Demon Slaying Ritual Array.

Chen Heng made the 12 flying swords charge Jeanne d’Arc Alter at different angles and speeds. The Cyclic Demon Slaying Ritual Array functioned by showing thousands of variations (chaotic and messy); it was famous for its unpredictable trajectories.

The 12 flying swords continually flew around Jeanne d’Arc Alter at extreme speeds, occasionally charging down to attack from behind and catching her off guard.

At times, Jeanne d’Arc Alter’s cursed flame damaged the flying swords. However, Chen Heng would immediately retrieve that flying sword and replace it with another.

These flying swords were mass-produced, so he did not feel any heartache over their loss. However, the flying swords embittered Jeanne d’Arc Alter extremely.

“Who told you to play tricks instead of continuing with close combat? Do you regret it now?”

Since Chen Heng clad the flying swords in mana, the standard-quality flying swords were much sharper. Jeanne d’Arc Alter’s armor could not completely block them. She suffered severe injuries in vital areas. However, those injuries were not deep.

“How frustrating! La Grondement Du Haine!” The more Jeanne d’Arc Alter thought about it, the more frustrated she felt. She immediately used her Noble Phantasm.

Noble Phantasms were crucial to a Servant’s victory. Few would use their Noble Phantasm over a disagreement like Jeanne d’Arc Alter did. However, she had a Holy Grail to support her with endless mana.

After Jeanne d’Arc Alter used her Noble Phantasm and swung her weapon, Chen Heng suddenly sensed danger and quickly took to the sky.

Chen Heng checked his initial position and saw many crisscrossed spears and vast flames there. As they had not struck him, they now pursued him.

If these things reached Chen Heng, it would be like getting barbequed. There were skewers and fire, after all.

Chen Heng continuously flew about in the sky with flames and spears on his tail. He did not dare to fly too far lest Jeanne d’Arc Alter run to help Gilles de Rais, so he simply circled around her at a low altitude.

Jeanne d’Arc Alter watched with great interest as the flames and spears harried Chen Heng. When the flames and spears weakened, she would use her Noble Phantasm again. Chen Heng could not take a breather, as the flames and spears flew too quickly.

Because of Jeanne d’Arc Alter’s harassment, Chen Heng had not landed for ten minutes already; she had used her Noble Phantasm five times.

Even a single use of the Noble Phantasm should have drained a lot of mana, what more her prodigality? Nevertheless, she did not have to care about her mana consumption due to the Holy Grail’s support.

However, she seemed to have forgotten something because she was occupied with happily attacking Chen Heng.

Gilles de Rais remained surrounded by Merlin, Jeanne d’Arc, and the French army. Oh, that wasn’t right. Mash and Georgios had also joined. The two had defeated Lancelot when they worked together.

Defeating Lancelot had not been easy, but it had not been difficult, either, as Lancelot had not dared to go all out against Mash. contemporary romance

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka did not know why, that did not stop her from exploiting this constraint to send Lancelot back to the Throne of Heroes.

Due to Chen Heng’s information, everyone knew that Gilles de Rais was the true owner of the Holy Grail, but the Holy Grail was with Jeanne d’Arc Alter. This was a rare opportunity.

Therefore, everyone had agreed beforehand to join the battle against Gilles de Rais after they dealt with their opponent and freed themself up.
