Book 2: Chapter 25: Trashy Reincarnator, You Will Die Sooner or Later

“Alright. Since we have stopped fighting, let’s discuss how to bring you back to Chaldea.” Chen Heng watched as Jeanne d’Arc Alter sheathed her sword, then stabbed her flagpole into the ground. This showed that Jeanne d’Arc Alter had some interest in joining Chaldea.

“Who...who said I’m joining Chaldea?”

Chen Heng ignored Jeanne d’Arc Alter’s textbook tsundere speech. Instead, he strolled toward her.

“What are you doing? Don’t come too close to me!” Jeanne d’Arc Alter crossed her arms, protecting her chest as she watched Chen Heng approach slowly.

“...” Chen Heng did not follow up on those words. Instead, he walked straight to her side.

“I say, you...” Jeanne d’Arc Alter wanted to draw her sword to defend herself, but Chen Heng stopped her. Then he pulled her into his embrace.

Jeanne d’Arc Alter: “Wha...ah!”

“Wow! He Who Knows Fate is extraordinarily bold!”

“Jeanne d’Arc Alter is still a child....” This was Jeanne d’Arc, elder-sister mode.

“I did not expect He Who Knows Fate to like this style.” Fujimaru Ritsuka now felt her earlier explanation was pointless.

As Chen Heng hugged Jeanne d’Arc Alter with one hand, his other hand reached for the spatial folds.

Jeanne d’Arc Alter was about to struggle when she saw a sharp dagger stab at Chen Heng’s other hand.

However, there seemed to be a transparent barrier blocking that dagger.

“What is this?” Jeanne d’Arc Alter stared at that dagger in shock. If Chen Heng had not pulled her away earlier, that dagger would have struck her Spiritual Core.

“Not bad. To think there is someone among the natives of this world who discovered and blocked my attack. Heroic Spirit, tell me your name.” The dagger instantly vanished after the attack failed.

Shortly after, the dagger and its wielder appeared ten meters in front of Chen Heng.

Jeanne d’Arc Alter was still in Chen Heng’s embrace and was obviously blushing.

“Oh! Sorry. This matter was urgent.” Chen Heng quickly let go of Jeanne d’Arc Alter.

“It’s fine. Also, thank you.” Jeanne d’Arc Alter was not a person who did not know to be grateful.

“You are still flirting at this moment? You are...” As Reincarnator 9527 spoke, he suddenly appeared behind Chen Heng and Jeanne d’Arc Alter and thrust his dagger toward Jeanne d’Arc Alter’s back.

“...Are you looking down on me?” Unfortunately, Reincarnator 9527’s fatal strike failed again, blocked by Chen Heng’s barrier.

“Everyone, attack together!” Fujimaru Ritsuka issued a command after recovering her wits.

“Don’t! Don’t come over. Stay where you are, in a circle. Protect the Master. I’ll protect Jeanne d’Arc Alter.” When the other Servants wanted to charge over, Chen Heng stopped them. He feared Reincarnator 9527 would assassinate Fujimaru Ritsuka instead.

After the Servants heard that, they immediately formed a human barricade around Fujimaru Ritsuka.

They stuck very closely to Fujimaru Ritsuka, fearing this person who appeared out of nowhere would stab her in the back.

“They are truly surrounding her tightly!” Reincarnator 9527 saw the encompassing defense and felt a slight headache. He had just figured out that Fujimaru Ritsuka was the core of this group, and assassinating her would not be easy if she was so well protected. However, his target was the Holy Grail. Furthermore, his Holy Grail detector indicated it was in the body of the person called Jeanne d’Arc Alter.

“Since an assassination won’t work, let’s go with a frontal clash.” Reincarnator 9527 stored his dagger and took out a steel nail with his right hand. After that, electricity crackled out of his hand as he aimed the nail at Jeanne d’Arc Alter. This attack seemed like an electromagnetic cannon.

Umaru-chan: I know this! I recall this was called Railgun. It is the signature move of A Certain Scientific Railgun’s main character. That is the Lvl 5 Electromagnetic Control in the mission details.

[TL Note: A Certain Scientific Railgun is a Japanese manga series. Here is the Wikipedia entry on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Certain_Scientific_Railgun.]

This Railgun was indeed powerful. Although Chen Heng’s repulsive barrier blocked the nail, it pressed against the barrier for a while before running out of energy and falling to the ground.

“Oh ho! You are quite powerful. To think you can block my Railgun! Still, I have not used my full power. What ability is this?”

“Do you think I am an idiot? Would I tell you my ability?”
