Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group?

Book 2: Chapter 13: Another Companion

The next morning, the group discussed finding the Masterless Servants after eating the breakfast Chen Heng prepared.

“Firstly, my True Name Discernment detected three Masterless Heroic Spirits. Furthermore, two are together.” Chen Heng took out a rough map that Jeanne d’Arc had drawn from memory.

“One is in Bordeaux’s direction, and the other two should be in Thiers. Everyone, which one do you want to go to first? Let me preface this first; we cannot split up, never. If we split up and the team without me runs into the Dragon Witch, Jeanne d’Arc Alter, with the evil dragon Fafnir, that team would be finished. There would be no saving them. If we move together, I can deal with the evil dragon Fafnir and beat the boss in advance. Oh, that’s right, Merlin, what can your Clairvoyance see?” Although Chen Heng had seen the story and knew who those Servants were, he could not state it directly; he could only make use of Merlin’s Clairvoyance. Although Divine Spirits might notice when Clairvoyance was being used on them, there was no one with such a high level of combat prowess in the 1st Singularity.

“You ask me what I see? The Servant in Bordeaux’s direction is a male Servant filled with a holy aura. He might be a saint or something. As for the two in Thiers, they are both females. They are currently fighting due to an argument. Furthermore, these two females seem to be dragons. Speaking of which, can you remove this evil beast from my head? It keeps pulling my hair and even scratches me sometimes. Even after I toss it away, it runs back. Are you going to discipline it or not?!” As Merlin spoke, he pulled Fou off his head again and tossed it on the ground. However, Fou jumped off Mash’s shield and landed back on Merlin’s head.

“Fou, stop messing around. Quickly come down.” Mash removed Fou from Merlin’s head and held it in her arms. Only then did Fou stop.

“That’s why I say Fou is an evil beast,” Merlin said through clenched teeth as he watched Fou nestle in Mash’s embrace.

“Alright, alright. Since Merlin already told us the information about the three Servants, which Servant are we going to first?” Chen Heng sought everyone’s opinion, especially Fujimaru Ritsuka, the Master.

“Let’s go to that male Servant who is possibly a saint. A saint should be pretty strong and would be more likely to help us. Doctor, what do you think?” Fujimaru Ritsuka concluded after some serious thought. However, she did not forget to ask for Doctor Roman’s opinion.

“Sure. If that male Servant is really a saint, he should be of great help to us.”

“It is happily decided, then. Well, this old driver is going to start driving. Everyone, fasten your seatbelts!”

In fact, Chen Heng had considered telling them about Kiyohime and Elizabeth. After all, stopping the two from fighting would be somewhat problematic. However, they possessed significant combat prowess, so it would be better to collect them. As for how to stop them from fighting? How about understanding “Dragonslayer: A” a little better?

This time, the first stop was Bordeaux. Actually, Thiers was closer than Bordeaux. However, there was a saint in Bordeaux.

This time, Chen Heng flew with seven others, so he was slower—at least not as fast as when fleeing. Going too fast would drain more mana. He slowed down to conserve mana and keep himself in a good state in case an enemy appeared.

After flying for two hours, Chen Heng’s group finally reached Bordeaux.

At Bordeaux, the group discovered a Servant fighting wyverns.

Since Mash saw this, she could not ignore it. “Master, Mash Kyrielight seeking permission to fight!”

“Fight, then.”

“I’ll help!” the rest said.

All the Servants rushed over to help that dark-orange-armored Servant with a holy aura. Even Chen Heng applied a debuff on the wyverns. Everyone contributed except for Merlin, who stayed by Fujimaru Ritsuka’s side. His excuse was protecting the last Master of the human race. However, Chen Heng felt that Merlin was just being lazy, so he placed Fou on Merlin’s head before charging forward, giving Merlin something to do.

Soon, the many Servants successfully beat the wyverns attacking the city into retreat.

“Who are you?” The dark-orange-armored Servant did not seem overly wary, likely due to the group helping him push back the wyverns.

“Hello, Mister Servant. I am Fujimaru Ritsuka from Chaldea, a Master. I am currently leading a group of Chaldea Servants and this companion that we got to know in this world to fight the Dragon Witch, Jeanne d’Arc Alter.” As the only human Master in the group, it was up to Fujimaru Ritsuka to step forward.

“Oh…I see. Hello. I am Georgios, a Servant summoned to this Singularity by a Holy Grail. I am currently protecting this city.” Georgios looked at the Servants before introducing himself. He apparently believed Fujimaru Ritsuka.

“Georgios, the saint also known as Saint George? It looks like Merlin’s trashy Clairvoyance is a little useful.” Doctor Roman did not forget to criticize Merlin’s Clairvoyance while praising it.

Doctor Roman still did not know that Merlin was Magi☆Mari and looked down on him. If he knew…

“Just address me as Georgios.”

“Then, are you willing to fight alongside us? We should be starting our final attack on the Dragon Witch after we gather two more Servants.”

“The people in the city have already started taking refuge. We can depart once they have all withdrawn.”

“Alright, sure.”

The waiting went smoothly. With Merlin’s Clairvoyance, Chen Heng’s True Name Discernment, and Chaldea’s Servants monitoring the place, nothing untoward happened.

Perhaps the Dragon Witch, Jeanne d’Arc Alter, had already discovered the situation here. After all, Jeanne d’Arc Alter was also a Ruler and could detect Servants. However, there were seven Servants at Bordeaux, including Georgios, a significant force. Jeanne d’Arc Alter would not be so foolish as to come here with one or two other Servants. After all, even with a Holy Grail’s help, she might not be able to defeat everyone here.

If she came, she would bring all her Servants and ride the evil dragon Fafnir. However, the situation was already plain. Due to Chen Heng’s gravity field, Jeanne d’Arc Alter’s side did not have any advantage in small-scale skirmishes.
