Dragon of the Root

Chapter 98: Illusion shattered

Before that, Jeanne who rushed to the Greater Grail earlier than the others, faced the greatest irony in history.

"Saintess Jeanne, welcome to my stage!"

Shakespeare whispered strangely in the neighborhood where Jeanne was.

Jeanne didn't just frown as she looked at the changing scene around her.

"This is my hometown, Domremy." Jeanne looked at the clothes that changed into a country girl style on her body, then looked at the small village not far away.

"Jeanne!?" A soft female voice came.

Jeanne turned to look at the source of the voice.

"Mother!" Jeanne was a little surprised, she didn't expect this environment to have such a realistic simulation.

"Why why are you called a Witch and burned to death!! Why! Jeanne!"

Jeanne mother crawled on the ground crying sadly, holding her hand tightly.

"Come with me back to the village, Jeanne, don't worry about anyone else anymore." Jeanne mother begged.

But Jeanne paid no attention to her mother, not because Jeanne was unfilial, but because the environment in front of her was none other than the environment created by Shakespeare Red Caster.

"Red faction caster, are you satisfied like this." Jeanne said calmly into the air...

Then Shakespeare voice rang in the air.

"How is that possible, the drama has just begun. Let's start the second half!"

When Shakespeare voice finished, Jeanne found that two curtains appeared before her eyes, like curtains on an opening and closing stage, opening and closing.

As the curtain opened, Jeanne gaze changed again.

Jeanne stood on high ground, holding the holy flag in her hands, and ordered the French soldiers behind her to rush towards the British enemy.

For a time, the entire battlefield was covered in blood, and many lives continued to pass.

In addition, several people from the enemy army begged for mercy, but they were killed.

Suddenly, around Jeanne was full of corpses.

"Absolutely covered in blood, Saintess." Shakespeare voice rang in the air.

However, Jeanne did not produce many mental fluctuations.

"There's no point in showing me anything."

Jeanne then raised her hand and looked at it.

"Because the hands of the people following me are dirty, my hands are dirty too. I've never been afraid of this."

Suddenly, like a corpse deception scene, a beautifully dressed corpse suddenly appeared, but the face was Shakespeare face.

He looked at Jeanne and asked her, "Then let me ask you as an agent of Charles VII."

Then the corpse next to Jeanne suddenly raised its head. Needless to say, that's another face of Shakespeare.

"You stepped forward and rushed into the battlefield. Let blood stain your hands and win France back."

Then the many corpses around him raised their heads and asked Jeanne.

"But in the end you burned."

"How sad."

"I think this"

"betray!"

"tragedy!"

"hopeless!"

"Even so, do you still believe in God? Do you still think fighting is meaningful?"

However, Jeanne still ignored him and replied calmly: "Of course!"

"My death was a fate I never avoided."

Then Jeanne raised the holy banner in her hand and said: "Ever since I raised this banner, I have lost the right to die in peace in my hometown."

Shakespeare was not disappointed with the unfazed Jeanne.

A certain corpse snapped its fingers in between, and the image changed here.

Jeanne watched as she was wearing her prison uniform, her hands were handcuffed, the rope was connected to the lock, and she was being carried forward by a knight on horseback.

With this, how could Jeanne not know which environment she was in now.

"This is really evil, Caster." Jeanne sarcastically said to Shakespeare.

"No, no, it wasn't you who got burned this time, Saintess." The knight riding the horse in front of him turned his head and looked at Jeanne.

Sure enough, it was Shakespeare face as expected.

Shakespeare pointed ahead, and Jeanne looked in the direction he was pointing.

"!!!" Jeanne pupils shrank slightly, looking extraordinary.

"Soderlake!!"

That's right, the person burned in this illusion is really Jeanne childhood friend, the French rescue general Soderlake, namely Wu Ming.

She saw Wu Ming tied to a pillar with iron chains, and the flames around his body lit up.

Jeanne ran in a hurry, but caught the rope in her hand while she was still a certain distance from Wu Ming.

"Why! Why not burn me!" Jeanne hastily asked a priest who was standing below the execution stage.

The priest turned his head, looked at Jeanne with a Shakespearean face, took out his own Noble Phantasm, and replied to Jeanne: "The fantasy that my Noble Phantasm constructed is all your memories, namely General Soderlake death was because of you Saintess Jeanne!!"

Shakespeare last words cut the heart literally, making Jeanne start to panic.

"No no, how could that be" Jeanne couldn't help but think of the scene of Soderlake rushing at her with all her wounds during the execution, holding herself burn to death together.

"...Could it be... it really is me..."

And Shakespeare said like a kidnapper: "Yes, yes! This is all your fault!"

At this moment, an incomparable magic power hit this side in Shakespeare perception.

Because this magic power was so terrifying, even Jeanne who was in an illusion realized it.

The illusion that Jeanne was in it shattered instantly like a shattered mirror.

"What! My Noble Phantasm"

Outside, Shakespeare and Jeanne were still standing there.

However, on the other side of the hall, a piece of the originally beautiful hall suddenly disappeared, revealing the vast sky.

"This magic It's Soderlake!" said Jeanne.

At this time, Jeanne who came out of the illusion created by Shakespeare Noble Phantasm <First Folio>, would no longer be fooled by Shakespeare rhetoric.

In comparison, the opponent has lost the current Noble Phantasm bonus

After that, half of the aerial fortress, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, had been completely lost.

Even if the center was slightly damaged, this bit wouldn't help Hanging Garden which had lost half of it in midair.

Hanging Garden can float because Magecraft is upside down inside.

Both water and plants will flow and grow in opposite directions.

The water will flow from the top down, and the plant will stay from the bottom up.

At this time, in the middle area with the Greater Grail, a large number of streams of water began to fly into the sky, and fell to the ground after leaving the Hanging Garden Magecraft range.

Not only a stream of water, but a large number of damaged buildings began to fall to the ground, and only half of the Hanging Garden collapsed, slowly falling to the ground.

Faster and faster, faster and faster, until it fell into the forest below, with a tremor and sound like an earthquake, and a large amount of smoke rose into the sky for a long time.
