Dragon of the Root

Chapter 87: Maria the Ripper

After leaving the millennium fortress walls, Wu Ming came to the dining room. The others were basically finished eating. Only Jeanne and Astolfo were still waiting.

Jeanne ate in the dining room because she needed to physically eat. And Astolfo didn't need to eat, but he would eat with Sieg.

Likewise with Wu Ming, he will eat with Jeanne.

"Yo~ Soderlake." Astolfo greeted enthusiastically.

"What's the situation?" asked Jeanne.

"He can't understand it for a while, after all, the days are still long, so don't worry about this for a while," Wu Ming replied with a smile.

"Then come and eat, Soderlake."

In a few moments, Wu Ming and Jeanne had almost finished their meal, and Sieg had not yet arrived.

"Why hasn't Sieg come yet?" said Astolfo bored as he crawled across the table.

Coincidentally, as soon as Astolfo finished speaking, Sieg entered the dining room.

"Oh, Sir Soderlake."

Since Sieg had just faced Wu Ming sermon, he was a little embarrassed now as if a student had seen a teacher.

"Fast! Sief, let's eat, we have to act later," Astolfo said.

"Un, alright."

.....

Soon everyone was ready.

Fiore and Caules sat on the Millennia Fortress, and Frankenstein followed Caules and Fiore and was responsible for protecting them both.

Wu Ming and Jeanne acted as the main force and decoy. Astolfo was probing in the sky. Sieg had to overcome a special situation with Astolfo, so he rode a Hippogriff with Astolfo.

And finally Chiron used his Clairvoyance skill for a sniper.

As for Sisigou Kairi and Mordred, however, the two camps were different, even if Wu Ming was present, Sisigou Kairi still insisted on acting separately.

After discussing how to deal with Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, the two found a grave near Trifas and left Millennia Fortress.

"Let's go, Jeanne."

"Un."

Wu Ming took out a bottle of potion, opened it and drank it.

This is a high-grade potion with special invisibility in YGGDRASSIL that can protect skill detection and can only be seen through items with detection.

After drinking, Wu Ming instantly became transparent.

After seeing Wu Ming disappear, Jeanne suppressed her own magic power and began to act as bait on the way.

Due to the murderous ghost incident in Trifas during this period, Trifas at night can basically be said that nothing has come out.

The moonlight shone on the ground, and Jeanne in school uniform walked down the street step by step.

Many residents are already asleep, not a few households whose lights are on. Even so, the surroundings weren't dark. After all, the moon tonight was much brighter than usual.

Wu Ming hid his figure and followed behind Jeanne.

(Although the plan is good, I am afraid that the other party will not play the cards according to the routine.) Wu Ming thought this way.

And just in case, Wu Ming has rearranged the magic scrolls around the Millennium Fortress, and there is Chiron and Frankenstein, it can be said to be safe for now.

Fortunately, Black Assassin was not as cunning as Wu Ming had imagined.

Slowly fog began to form around.

Whether it was Chiron who was watching closely with Clairvoyance with a bow and arrow, or Astolfo who was flying over Jeanne with Hippogriff with Sieg, both tensed up and watched Jeanne.

Right in the front corner, a dark shadow flashed past, and Jeanne happened to see it.

This seemed to tempt Jeanne to leave.

"It seems that the other party is not a simple person, she still knows to seduce the enemy."

Wu Ming said behind Jeanne.

"So, do we need to catch up?" Jeanne asked softly without looking back.

"Of course, the other party has created an opportunity for us, there is no need to do anything. Don't worry, I will follow you closely."

"Um."

After that, Jeanne rushed to where the black shadow disappeared.

After a series of throws and spins, the shadow carried Jeanne into a residential area that stretched out in all directions.

Jeanne stood where it was still empty, observing her surroundings carefully.

On the roof of a residential building behind Jeanne, the figure of the Black Assassin Jack the Ripper appeared.

"Yeah, let's kill"

Jack the Ripper posed while holding his dagger upside down, and muttered in his mouth.

"Hell begins...."

"We are fire..."

"Rain..."

"Strength..."

"Let there be a massacre..."

"Maria the Ripper (The Holy Mother of Dismemberment)"

At that moment Jack the Ripper shouted his real Noble Phantasm name and rushed towards Jeanne.

Jeanne suddenly realized the danger, and quickly condensed the armor and holy flag.

*Clang--!*

"What!" shouted Jack the Ripper in disbelief.

His pair of daggers were blocked by something invisible.

Wu Ming showed his figure, held Exsilver, and hit a dead end with Jack dagger.

"Long time no see, Black Assassin Jack the Ripper."

The moment he saw Jack the Ripper, Wu Ming recalled all kinds of information from Jack the Ripper.

Wu Ming swung his sword and knocked Jack away.

Jack turned in midair and stabilized when she landed.

"Why! How can you be okay!"

Noble Phantasm Jack, Maria the Ripper, wields a set of four oddly shaped blades and is classified as a Rank D Noble Phantasm.

This Noble Phantasm causes curse-type damage to enemies under certain conditions. When these conditions are met, there will be a hateful curse effect of "hatred against children who are denied everything, even the opportunity to sell their own meat, children abandoned by 80,000 prostitutes in the London ghetto to maintain their own livelihood" Will have the effect of a hate curse.

There are three conditions, namely <Night>, <Female>, and <Misty>. If Jack uses this Noble Phantasm again when all conditions are complete, the target internal organs will immediately be pulled out of the body and become a dissected corpse.

If the condition was not complete, only pure damage would be dealt, but currently, every time the condition was completed, the strength would also increase.

But...

"Why are big brothers and sisters nothing at all!"

Noble Phantasm Jack is not an attack with a dagger, but a curse, so it can be used over long distances.

Meaning that it could be locked remotely, even if one received this Noble Phantasm attack for a moment, the previously targeted person would be harmed.

Jack couldn't understand, even if she couldn't inflict a fatal blow on the opponent, they should be slightly injured.

But Jack looked at Wu Ming, and she clearly felt his attack hit Wu Ming, but she couldn't see any impact.

And Jeanne behind her also looked unfazed.

"Using a curse on a dragon, how can it be effective?" said Wu Ming mockingly.

Evil Dragon EX:

At a time when Europeans cursed the Evil Dragon and were cursed as a giant dragon with great magical power, it basically ignored all negative influences.

"The curse of 80,000 abandoned babies is not enough!" shouted Wu Ming.

"Moreover, I have resistance to curses. Even if you attack me, it will only cause a small amount of damage, and it won't cause me any fatal injuries at all." Said Jeanne holding the holy flag.

What was needed to maintain the effects of this Noble Phantasm was not physical defense, but power against the curse. Coincidentally as a Saintess, Jeanne was naturally resistant to curses, and her level wasn't low.

"Give up obediently, Jack, if you surrender now, I will not kill you."

"!!!"
