Book 2: Chapter 4: Chaldea Finally Arrives

Chen Heng had been playing for two days. During these two days, he kept changing locations, choosing desolate places with no one around.

He had even considered helping the people who were being killed by the wyverns. However, he eventually dismissed that thought, as it might cause a disturbance that might attract many Servants over. These Servants were quite challenging to deal with when paired with wyverns. More importantly, Chen Heng did not have a Master. If he exhausted his mana, it would be over for him.

[TL Note: Masters are the people commanding and supporting the Servants. Here is more information: /wiki/Master.]

That did not mean Chen Heng cared about surviving. After all, this was just a Servant body. After he died, he would return to his true body, so he did not fear death. What he feared was no one being able to deal with Fafnir if he died. Then, Chaldea would get wiped out without clearing the 1st Singularity. If that were the case, wouldn’t this world be over? Order would be destroyed, and humankind would perish.

This was Chen Heng’s third day in this world. The night he arrived in this world did not count.

Just as Chen Heng was engrossed in the game, the mission system’s tracker suddenly sent out an alert.

Ding! Target is 15 kilometers southeast of your current position.

When Chen Heng heard this information, he immediately perked up. He had gotten tired of waiting in the tent over the past few days, spending his time grinding the game’s story.

He quickly dismantled the tent and stored it in his spatial storage. Then, he set off toward Chaldea’s group.

Chen Heng flew extremely fast, arriving at the location indicated by the system’s tracker in minutes. There, he saw a young woman brandishing a large shield, using it to chop down soldiers wearing French-style armor. An orange-haired young woman wearing Chaldea’s uniform was commanding the shield-wielding girl.

Chen Heng did not appear immediately. Instead, he used his attraction ability to twist the surrounding space to hide himself. This concealment method was not very effective, but Chen Heng was in the air, quite a distance from the ground. If one did not look closely, one would not notice anything. This should be Chaldea’s first battle in the 1st Singularity, so he did not intend to interfere.

“Alaya? You are a Counter Guardian!” Doctor Roman was Solomon, indeed. Rather, all those people who had any knowledge about magic would know about this.

[TL Note: Counter Guardians are Heroic Spirits that Alaya uses to eliminate threats. They do not have autonomy, doing Alaya’s bidding to the letter. They tend not to be subtle, causing collateral damage in the process. Here is more information: /wiki/Heroic_Spirit#Counter_Guardian.]

“No, no, no. I’m not a Counter Guardian. Counter Guardian? Is that even humane work? Even if I die, I will not be Alaya’s Counter Guardian.” Indeed, Counter Guardians did not get treated well. Just look at Heroic Spirit Emiya and his father, named Emiya Kiritsugu. They worked all their life and never had a holiday.

[TL Note: Here is more information on the two Emiyas: /wiki/EMIYA_(Archer), /wiki/EMIYA_(Assassin).]

“Then, who exactly are you? You say Alaya sent you, but you say you are not a Counter Guardian.” Chen Heng did not need to see to know confusion filled the face of Doctor Roman, who was in Chaldea.

“Actually, you don’t need to care who I am. You just need to know I am reinforcements. I am here to help you deal with the evil dragon Fafnir.”

“Wait, wait! Evil dragon Fafnir? Will a dragon of such a level appear in this Singularity? It looks like this Singularity is quite difficult.”

“Uh-huh. Just wait for a while, and you will know what enemy you are facing. For now, young woman, how about we sign a contract? I am currently Masterless,” Chen Heng asked the orange-haired young woman.

“Doctor, what should I do now?” Although Gudako had already cleared the First Order in the burning Fuyuki City and had some practical experience, she was still a beginner and felt Doctor Roman’s opinion was critical.

“Sign the contract. After all, we just arrived in this Singularity and don’t understand the situation yet. Having another person to fight is good.” Furthermore, once you sign the contract, you will have the Command Spell. That way, you don’t have to worry about this Heroic Spirit having malicious intentions. Of course, Doctor Roman did not say the last bit lest he anger the Heroic Spirit facing the two.

[TL Note: Command Spells are absolute commands that a Master can give in battle. There are limited uses. Here is more information: /wiki/Command_Spell.]
