Moreover, it would be difficult to retreat in this situation because there were several big guys blocking his way.

What's more, there is Kirisame Marisa in the sky who is responsible for sniping him, so it is really difficult to resist.

Realizing this, Jeanne Alter felt a surge of anxiety in her heart. There was nothing she could do. It really was...

"【Meteor Spear——Gungnir】!"

The energy spear in Remlia's hand instantly turned into a physical spear, and then flew towards Jeanne d'Arc Alter.

"Look carefully, servant! This is how to use Gungnir!"

Remlia's power seemed to surge, completely different from the feeling when she used the energy body [Gungnir] before.

Even Jeanne Alter was shocked, after all, Remlia actually possessed such power, and she didn't even know it.

You should know that Remlia and Fafnir had fought before, but at that time, Remlia did not take out this gun.

Now that I have taken out this gun, my combat effectiveness is completely different, as if a drastic change has taken place.

Koizumi stared at Remlia in front of him, as if trying to memorize Remlia's spear-wielding form completely.

This was simple. Remlia was effectively teaching Koizumi how to use the physical Gungnir. Koizumi felt he needed to seize this opportunity, as it was rare for Remlia to teach him. Speaking of usage, Koizumi felt that besides Odin, Remlia was the only one qualified to teach him.

Koizumi silently paused, staring at Remlia...

Koizumi memorized Remlia's movements and magic usage techniques in his mind without any distraction.

At the same time, Kuronetsu and Seleu respectively commanded Destaguru and other puppets and Xiaobi to go towards Jeanne d'Arc Alter.

Mashu stood silently in front of Kuroneko and Sero. Generally, servants who summon puppets like this are very weak.

So at this time, Mashu's protective power came in handy, and Mashu was very clear about this.

“ROARRAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Destaguru and Xiaobi roared wildly and slammed into Jeanne Alter.

The huge impact force directly knocked Jeanne d'Arc Alter away, and Jeanne d'Arc Alter couldn't help but show a look of pain.

At this moment - Remlia's eyes lit up, this is a good opportunity!

"Noble Phantasm released—pierce through it! [Meteor Spear—Gungnir]!"

Like a meteor streaking across the sky, Gungnir flew towards Jeanne Alter at a speed too fast to be seen by the naked eye! Seeing the meteor spear approaching her, Jeanne Alter suddenly sensed a hint of danger.

This kind of attack is obviously not so easy to block, you know, even Fafnir's dragon scales were pierced through.

"Roar! My anger (La Grandement Du Haine)!"

The flag held by Jeanne Alter is completely different from Jeanne; it is the cursed flag held by her when she descended as the Dragon Witch.

There's no doubt that Jeanne d'Arc is qualified to be an Avenger...

This Noble Phantasm transforms Jeanne's own and the surrounding resentment into magical energy, burning it to the very bone marrow, consuming the opponent's impurities, filth, and goodness. While it can withstand enemy attacks like Saint Jeanne's, this Noble Phantasm amplifies the attack and reflects it back. Furthermore, its power increases when allies die. Regardless of whether it's a slashing attack, a striking attack, or a cursed blow, it converts all attacks into physical damage. The flames emanating from the banner are similar to the breath of a supreme dragon.

Destaguru, Caesar Giant Frog and Appleman, three extremely dangerous species, quickly stood in front of the Noble Phantasm.

The flames of resentment engulfed the three extremely dangerous species, and countless iron stakes rose from the ground and pierced them.

Seeing that the flames would continue to spread, Jeanne and Mash quickly stepped forward and stood in front of everyone.

"My Lord is Here (Luminosite Eternelle)"

"Imaginary Noble Phantasm, Deployment—Pseudo-Deployment/The Foundation of Humanity (Lord Chaldeas)"

The two protective forces sheltered everyone within and blocked all the remaining energy of the flames of resentment.

Normally, the two's protective power couldn't block Fafnir's attack, so they shouldn't be able to block Jeanne Alter's attack either. However... most of the energy was consumed by the three extremely dangerous creatures.

Furthermore, Gungnir was also attacking, completely piercing through the Flame of Resentment.

Jeanne and Mash gritted their teeth and held on, their expressions distorted.

There is no way. Even if most of the energy is offset, it is still too difficult to withstand it.

"Second level barrier!"

At this moment, Koizumi's sharp shout suddenly rang out, and a large barrier suddenly appeared on Jeanne and Mash's protective power.

The triple protective power gathered together, and the flames of resentment slowly dissipated as the protective power was consumed.

The light of the meteor pierced through the flames of resentment, and in Jeanne Alter's eyes, it was just a flash of light.

The next moment, Jeanne Alter spat out a mouthful of blood, and saw that Gungnir had pierced Jeanne Alter's chest.

"What...what..." Jeanne Alter's eyes were full of disbelief.

"How... could this be? This is ridiculous. It's impossible, this is a lie! Because I possess the Holy Grail! The one who possesses the Holy Grail cannot lose! This is how it should be...!"

Koizumi breathed a sigh of relief. It was a close call just now. Jeanne and the others almost failed to block it.

"Ha? You can't lose if you have the Holy Grail! Stop joking, idiot! You just have the Holy Grail, but a mere counterfeit dares to defeat the original. It's simply foolish!" Remlia sneered, her face full of arrogance.

The next moment, Remlia slowly stretched out her right hand, and Gungnir quickly returned to her hand.

From what Remlia said, we can know that Remlia actually saw through the other party's true face.

"Jeanne, it seems you've figured it out too..." Koizumi said slowly.

Joan of Arc nodded silently. It was true. She realized it when Marie comforted her.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared beside Jeanne Alter, surprising Koizumi and the others.

Chapter 316: The Truth About the Dragon Witch! The Final Battle!

"Oh, Joan of Arc! Joan of Arc! You look so heartbreaking...!"

Gilles de Rais was summoned as a Caster, and was also summoned as Bluebeard.

It is obvious that Jill in this state was summoned after she became obsessed with alchemy and slaughtered children.

It must be admitted that Joan of Arc felt very complicated when she saw Gilles de Rais in this state.

"Gil...el..." Jeanne Alter's eyes were a little dazed.

"But you can rest assured now that I, Gilles de Rais, have come to your aid. Now, rest assured."

Jill's face was filled with a deep sense of softness.

"But I haven't been able to... to... to... destroy France..."

There was a strong persistence in Jeanne Alter's tone, and a hint of unwillingness appeared on her face.

"I'll inherit this. Leave everything to me. It's okay, you won't die. I'm just a little... a little tired, that's all. Close your eyes and sleep well. When you wake up, I'll make everything over."

Jill's tone was very gentle, which finally made Jeanne Alter feel relieved...

Indeed, whether in her lifetime or now, Joan of Arc has always trusted Jill very much. Similarly, Joan of Arc Alter also has absolute trust in Jill, so when she heard Jill say this, she was completely relieved.

After saying that, Jeanne Alter turned into dots of light and disappeared before Jill's eyes.

“…” Looking at the nostalgic existence in front of him, Gilles de Rais’s face darkened and he didn’t know what to say.

"It's just as I expected." Joan of Arc sighed slightly and looked at Jill in front of her with regret.

"Your intuition is really sharp." Jill lowered his head slightly and kept a low profile.

Facing his saint, Jill did not show any neglect, because he respected her very much from beginning to end.

No, it can even be said that he has a certain admiration for Joan of Arc, but Joan of Arc only treats her as a friend.

"Um, Miss Jeanne. What's going on?" A look of doubt appeared on Mashu's face.

"It's not the Dragon Witch who possesses the Holy Grail. No, to put it bluntly, she, the Servant, doesn't even exist in the Throne of Heroes. Since she's not my dark side, I can only draw this conclusion... If that's the case, how did she acquire such immense power? Power can only come from the Holy Grail. In other words, the Dragon Witch herself is it."

As she said this, Jeanne's eyes were fixed on Gilles in front of her, as if she already knew everything.

Yes, she knew everything, as she should have known very well.

As Joan of Arc died, she might have had some regrets, but she absolutely did not have any hatred. It can even be said that she never hated France for betraying her. She just felt regretful for dying like this.

"That's right. The Dragon Witch is my long-cherished wish." Jill didn't deny it. After all, given the current situation, there was no need to hide it. "That is, the Holy Grail."

"What...!?" Mashu was slightly stunned, as if she didn't understand at all.

"Huh? Huh? Huh? What's going on? Is the dragon the Holy Grail? And me too!?"

Elizabeth suddenly fell into inexplicable excitement, with an unknown smile on her face, but——

"You big stupid dragon. It was not Jeanne who used the Holy Grail that she obtained to do evil." Qingji looked very disgusted and said with contempt.

"You created Jeanne d'Arc Alter, didn't you? You harnessed the power of the Holy Grail." Koizumi stated the truth directly.

"I made a wish, hoping to resurrect you. This is my sincere wish. This is normal... However, the Holy Grail rejected me. It is obviously an omnipotent wish-granting device, but it said that this is the only wish that cannot be fulfilled! But I only want you! In this case, let's create a new one...!" At this point, Jill's face showed a strong fanaticism.

"The Saint I believe in! The you I long for! Let me create you! I used the Holy Grail to create Jeanne d'Arc and the Dragon Witch!"

"...Is that so." Joan of Arc shook her head as if sighing, a trace of pity appearing on her face. She felt pity for the [Dragon Witch] because even Joan of Arc Alter's own existence was fake... This was heartbreaking.

"I guess she didn't know about this until the very end."

After saying that, Joan of Arc turned her gaze to Jill, her eyes flashing with determination.

"Jill. If you truly succeed in resurrecting me, I will never become the Dragon Witch. I was indeed betrayed, and indeed mocked. The phrase 'dying with my eyes wide open' might indeed apply to me. But I do not hate my country. It is impossible for me to hate it. Because, this country still has you."

"...You are so kind, and you only say kind things. But, Jeanne."

There was a hint of regret in Jill's tone, but after saying this, her anger was immediately evident.

"Because you're so kind, you've forgotten one thing. Even if you don't hate your country, I hate it to the core...! I swear to destroy this treacherous nation!"

"Jill..." Joan of Arc sighed softly and didn't intend to say anything more.

"You might forgive them, but I never will! Be it gods, royalty, or even nations...!! I will destroy them all, I will kill them all. This is my wish for the Holy Grail...! Do not stand in my way, Jeanne!!"

As he spoke, an unusually strong magical power began to surge from Jill's body.

"...Yes, that's right. You're right. It's understandable that you feel hatred. It's understandable that you, having gained power through the Holy Grail, would attempt to destroy this country. It's truly understandable, though deeply saddening. And I will stop you. As the judge of the Holy Grail War, I will stand in your way. Gilles de Ray...!"

The next moment, Joan of Arc pointed her holy flag at Gilles de Rais in front of her.

"Then you are now my enemy. Let us face off, savior of the nation, Joan of Arc!"

As he finished speaking, countless monsters were summoned by Jill, and they swarmed towards Koizumi and the others.

"So disgusting..." Looking at these tentacle monsters, Marisa, Kuroneji and Seriu immediately showed disgust on their faces.

They had to admit that this was the first time they had to deal with such a disgusting enemy. It was really...

"So... this is the final battle... I didn't expect it to be decided right here in Bordeaux. Let's defeat Gilles de Rais with a single blow..."

As he spoke, Koizumi aimed his energy form, Gungnir, at the monster in front of him.

After responding to Koizumi's words, the Heroic Spirits headed towards Gil de Ray and the monster before them.

End of Chapter 317

[Gungnir] pierced directly through Gil's chest, and the scarlet magic burned his flesh.

Remlia snorted coldly. Only these monsters blocked her steps for a while. But with the help of others, she didn't need to waste so much time. Although Gilles de Rais's Prelatis Spellbook was a little troublesome, it was not a problem for Remlia.

What's more, the current Gilles de Rais is completely no different from the previous Joan of Arc Alter.

You challenged all of us alone. Are you sure you didn't get kicked in the head by a donkey?

Even if there is a Holy Grail, it can't be expanded like this! The emperor of that empire has self-awareness!

So... are you too arrogant... Who else should I beat if not you?

“How… could this be…! Even with the power of the Holy Grail… I can’t achieve this…”

Gil de Rais's face was full of disbelief. Due to the power of Gungnir, his cheeks were distorted. There was no way around it. The magic power was like extremely high temperature, burning his flesh and blood.

If you don't know, you might think they're making some roasted whole lamb or something like that...

"Impossible! I will never accept such an unreasonable result! I... haven't... yet!"

Joan of Arc couldn't help but sigh deeply, and slowly walked forward, staring at Jill in front of her.

"Jill. That's enough. It's okay now. Go and rest. You've worked hard."

"You were willing to trust a young girl like me, so inexperienced, to help me liberate this city... No matter what you've become now, I still believe in you back then. It doesn't matter. I won't regret it until the very end. If my corpse can pave the way for those who come after me... I'll be satisfied. Okay, let's go back. Back to our original time."

Looking at the saint who seemed to be illuminated by light, Jill felt as if he had been completely healed.

"... Jeanne. If hell is to happen, I alone will be enough."
