Blue-Eyes White Dragon: Adopted by the King of Knights [100]

In the end, the completely drained Jeanne Alter took the brunt of the attack with her own body.

Good news: She survived the strike.

Bad news: Surviving was all she managed.

Under the scorching flames of the sun, she had nearly lost all resemblance to a human being. Now, she was reduced to a blackened, charred figure barely holding itself upright.

Yet, she was still alive—and conscious.

The pseudo-Holy Grail Bluey had placed within her was desperately working overtime, supplying the energy needed to sustain her battered existence.

It hurts… It hurts so damn much…

Burning agony consumed her, dragging her in and out of consciousness. Jeanne Alter couldn’t tell whether she was dead or alive anymore.

So, this is how painful being alive is…

Her eyes were too scorched to see clearly, only catching faint, blurred rays of light. Yet she fought to keep them open, desperately wishing to behold once more this world—one that filled her with anger and resentment, yet also brought her happiness and longing.

“So… can I still keep fighting?”

Jeanne Alter asked herself that question.

Her rational mind knew she couldn’t continue fighting; she was barely capable of controlling her own body, let alone engaging in battle.

Yet, her soul and intuition told her otherwise. They insisted she should keep fighting, that she could still fight.

Within her charred body, something stirred, ready to burst forth at any moment.

BOOM—!

Flames erupted from her.

Born of hatred, they would burn as long as she existed.

Yet now, what those flames nurtured was no longer hatred, but rather fervent passion and blessings for life itself.

“Hear this—”
“The roaring flames are the howls of hell itself.”
“Yet your hope shall become a new dawn.”
“Gather all power, cross beyond the barrier of life and death.”
“In the name of the White Realm, cleanse the countless sins; bound by the Abyss, reforge a body of annihilation.”
“O dragon of eternal reincarnation, awaken now.”

“—Descend, [Alba‑Lenatus the Abyss Dragon]!!!”

…

What followed was a scene impossible for ordinary humans to comprehend.

In plain view, a dragon and a human… fused into one.

It was a dragon whose primary color was black, with vivid crimson scales covering its body. From afar, it looked like a black dragon encased in blazing, fiery armor, radiating dominance and power.

But beyond mere appearance, what was even more alarming was its sheer size—it was massive!

Hovering in mid-air, its scorching heat distorted the air around it. Even heroes like Siegfried winced in discomfort as the dragon flapped its wings, blasting waves of intense heat toward them.

As for ordinary people like Fujimaru Ritsuka—well, she'd long since ducked obediently behind Mash, refusing to stick out even a single strand of hair.

“Th-th-this… this is just ridiculous!”

“All they did was go whoosh~! and suddenly there’s this gigantic dragon?!”

“How does something like this even happen?!”

Having never witnessed anything like this before, the bewildered orange-haired girl could only express her shock with frantic shouting.

Meanwhile, Dr. Roman, who roughly understood what had occurred, was equally stunned, perhaps even more than Ritsuka.

“That dragon… could it actually be a real deity?”

He couldn’t believe it—but had no choice but to do so.

Only true gods possessed such extraordinary might—turning impossibilities into possibilities, conjuring miracles at will.

“This is truly eye-opening…” murmured the doctor in his white lab coat subconsciously. However, realizing what he'd just said, he quickly slapped a hand over his mouth.

—Facing an omnipotent god, he couldn’t afford to let his guard down.

Who knew whether such a being might travel through timelines, visit this distant future, slap him silly, and return without a second thought?

…

A new dragon had appeared on the battlefield.

All present were overwhelmed by its immense power.

“Be careful—its strength rivals even Fafnir from before.”

As a dragon-slaying hero, Siegfried keenly sensed the magnitude of this dragon’s might.

Those flames seemed belched forth straight from hell, scorching all life in their vicinity. Facing such a monster, just standing nearby required significant mana, let alone actually fighting it.

“It’s incredibly hard to approach!” Martha grumbled, frustrated.

She had tried attacking the burning black dragon, but before her fist even made contact, hellish flames leapt forward to burn her hand. The searing fire was so intense it even scorched the soul itself.

“I can resist its attacks,” said Jeanne d’Arc, who stood holding her iris banner. “However—”

She was actively defending against the black-and-red dragon’s assault, successfully deflecting each attack—but merely defense was all she could manage.

“This strength… this power…”

“It’s simply… just…”

“It’s magnificent!!!”

“Ahahahaha—!”

Jeanne Alter, who had previously believed herself trapped in certain death, now found herself suddenly reversing the impossible. Reveling in the overwhelming torrent of flame and power surging forth from her body, she unleashed a merciless barrage of hellfire upon the enemies before her.

One breath followed another without pause.

Under this relentless attack, she truly managed to suppress all five enemy Servants at once—single-handedly turning the tables completely in her favor!

“What should we do?”

“I've already used my Noble Phantasm twice and have little strength left. Facing such a powerful foe… we have no choice but to retreat for now and reconsider our strategy.”

It was a perfectly reasonable excuse, flawlessly concealing Artoria’s actual intention—she had no desire to see Jeanne Alter perish here.

However—

“Tch…”

After issuing the retreat order and preparing to turn away, Artoria shot one last irritated glance at the smug black dragon, clicking her tongue in displeasure.

—Even though she'd anticipated something like this might happen…

Actually seeing Bluey fuse with Jeanne Alter still left her feeling extremely irritated.

It felt like the well-behaved child she'd raised herself had suddenly run off with the delinquent neighbor girl!
