The vampire suddenly looked in another direction.
His face showed obvious displeasure, and the arrow in his hand was crushed by him. He was not resisting any of the Red and Black Servant present, but the girl who just appeared.
If vampires are the nobles of the dark night, then this girl is the one who cuts through the darkness and brings the dawn.
The holy flag fluttering in the wind releases an incomparably pure holy light, which is incompatible with the darkness surrounding the vampire.
Everyone looked at the girl. Even Karna, who had wanted to kill her in the past, was one of them, but Jeanne paid no attention to him at all—she just stared at the vampire that had just been born here.
In Jeanne's eyes, the attribute panel of the Black Berserker has undergone tremendous changes.
Because he became a vampire, his panel attributes that had been reduced due to his popularity reaching zero returned again, and in some aspects they were even stronger than when he was the Grand Duke of Romania.
His skill panel also changed accordingly.
"Protection of Faith" has been replaced by "Bloodsucking" and "Transformation", and "Battle Continuation" has also been changed.
Bloodsucking: Level A
One of the vampire's powers.
By sucking blood, the target is turned into a servant. Although the target is still alive, it will become the same as dead, and fundamentally become a subordinate of the target.
Furthermore, since this action is not an attack but an act of love, even one with "a body strong enough to withstand all kinds of attacks" cannot defend against it.
Change: Level C
One of the vampire's powers.
It can transform into fog, monsters, countless bats, etc. Although it is very effective in melee combat, it is not very effective against wide-area attacks.
Battle Continuation: Level A
One of the vampire's powers.
They won't die easily. Even if they are seriously wounded, they can still fight, without worrying about the damage to their bodies.
That is to say—
"Vlad III, no, Dracula is a dangerous monster that will destroy the Holy Grail War and a threat to humanity. If we ignore him, everyone, including the Servants, may be turned into his servants. When he leaves the Sky Garden..."
Joan of Arc did not continue speaking, and everyone understood what she meant—this craze would spread to the whole world!
Although the vampire looks rational and calm at the moment, judging from the way he overpowered Achilles and started biting him, what Joan of Arc said should be true.
Even if he doesn't spread the vampire craze to the whole world, for the heroes, the ending of becoming monsters and being dominated by servants of death is unacceptable - regardless of red or black. If they stick to the camp at this time, then when the red side is transformed into a servant, the black side will also be transformed and enslaved. After all, the Holy Grail can only belong to one person.
Whether it is to protect the world, to conceal the mystery, or simply for oneself, he cannot be left alone.
The vampire in front of them has become the number one enemy of all servants. That is why Joan of Arc gave up fighting Semiramis and rushed here in a hurry.
The most difficult thing about the Black Berserker is his concept. In Romania, although Vlad III is a hero who protects the country, the legend of the vampire Dracula does exist, which means that history and heritage are mixed and blended. The glimmer and fame of the ghost general who protects the country may be directly applied to him.
If he reaches the Greater Holy Grail and is freed from the Hanging Gardens... Joan of Arc really doesn't know how to deal with this monster. Perhaps, the legendary tragedy "Night of Varzia" will be repeated again, this time not as a nightmare, but as a reality.
The vampire must be defeated here and he must not be let out.
"Is that so, that's what you judged, Ruler. But please remember that everything I did did not violate the rules of the Holy Grail War. Black Archer attacked me out of his dignity to protect his disciples and heroes, and it was his freedom. As a judge, you are violating your duty by doing this."
Joan of Arc frowned slightly when she heard the vampire's words.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed the case. Nothing the Black Berserker did violated any rules. Transforming into a monster was due to his second Noble Phantasm, "Inheritance of Blood". Sucking blood to become a follower was also an inherent skill of vampires. And there was no rule in the Holy Grail War that enemies could not be transformed into servants or followers.
If he is really not allowed to do this, this Noble Phantasm should be banned from the beginning, just like Diarmuid's twin swords.
Since he was given this treasure, it is reasonable to use it. To impose sanctions on those who have not violated the rules is to violate the duties of the referee and is a black whistle.
"But you would be distorting the world—"
"This is just your subjective inference. The Grand Duke has never done anything to distort the world. Since when did speculation and possibility become the criteria for conviction? It's really hard to convince people with your words."
Danik sneered harshly. His nickname was "Eight Tongues", and he was particularly good at playing with words. He could turn unreasonable things into reasonable ones, and he was right this time.
"this... "
Seeing that Jeanne was hesitant, Danic continued his efforts.
"Besides, the fact that the Grand Duke could say what he said just now shows that there is nothing wrong with his rationality and cognition. The thing you are worried about will not happen. Of course, if you insist on judging it this way, we can only resist it with all means. If something unexpected really happens, it will be because of you. It is you who turned a being who still has human heart into a real monster."
"Pfft, you're talking like you're righteous, even though you're a vampire. Ruler has his scruples, but I don't. Black berserker, I hate you, so I'm going to kill you!"
Jeanne, Chiron and others were shaken by these words, but Achilles curled his lips in disdain. If you like it, you like it. If you hate it, you hate it. No matter if you are right or wrong.
Meteor gun in the right hand, world shield in the left hand, and comet running style with both feet.
Achilles attacked the vampire again. Having suffered a loss once, he would not leave another chance for blood sucking.
A large number of rafters emerged from the vampire's body, which was the most common way to use the "Bloodstained King Ghost". Although it was not summoned from underground, there was no need to worry about being attacked by surprise - but with the vampire's strange power, the rafters thrown out naturally exceeded the speed of sound.
"Tsk, how annoying...!!"
Achilles swung his shield and quickly bounced the rafters away, but the impact of the rafters also affected his unparalleled swift feet.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the vampire quickly approached and struck the World Shield with both claws at the same time.
Of course, the shield was not broken, but Achilles was knocked out by the vampire's super strength, and crashed into the wall of the corridor. Although he was not injured due to the protection of the immortal body, Achilles could not hide his astonishment at the vampire who overwhelmed him with his extremely powerful arm strength.
At this moment, the weapon transformed by the vampire has arrived at the side of Achilles - as long as this great hero of ancient Greece can be transformed into a servant, then the Holy Grail War will be half won.
However, his attempt was stopped by Karna with his spear.
Although slightly inferior to Achilles, Karna was equally agile. When Achilles took action, he also raised his "Immortal Blade".
At the same time, Atalanta, the last servant of the red team, quietly held a black arrow. Her target was not the vampire who was still not at a disadvantage even though he was attacked by two top servants.
She was targeting the vampire master, Danic!
PS: According to Mushroom's new setting, vampires are monsters that threaten humanity and are inherently hostile to heroic spirits, especially heroes like Joan of Arc.
PS2: The new chapter of FGO solves a mystery that has been lingering since the game was launched. In each singularity, in addition to the normal servants, what are the people in the player's own team, that is, the five plus one? The answer is revealed, a new term, the spirit base shadow, specifically, the servants who live in Chaldea and are temporarily summoned by the protagonist in the form of projection, which is a bit similar to the concept of Heroic Spirits and Servants.
PS3: After reading this, I immediately thought of two things. First, the servants of Chaldea are all slacking off. Second, there will be no burden to blow up the big hero in the future. It is just a temporary projection anyway. It is estimated that they may not even have wisdom, let alone die. Bomb, bomb, bomb!
