36. Widows

"What exactly is this...?"

"Mr. Giorgios, please be careful, we are probably in the Assassin - the vampire Camilla's Noble Phantasm."

Mashu, who had received a good education in Chaldea, successfully identified the enemy's true name.

Mashu, who was created as a sub-server, was instilled with all kinds of knowledge about the Holy Grail War from birth, which naturally included the legends of the servants.

Matthew was not dissatisfied with this, but was very keen on learning new knowledge.

Therefore, I have a longing for the "predecessors" who have shined in history or legend.

Joan of Arc and Giorgios are examples.

For Matthew, in order to exist in the world as a human being, she still needs to ask her "seniors" for advice on many, many things.

The legend about the city of Chakhedis was among the stories she didn't like very much.

The vampire Camilla is based on Elisabeth Bathory, a Hungarian aristocrat.

The Bathory family, which had included the King of Poland and the King of Bohemia, was prominent in Hungary at that time.

The wealth and fame of the Bathory family even surpassed that of their own lord, the King of Hungary.

This directly led to Elizabeth Bathory living a life superior to ordinary people since she was a child. She was the canary in the ivory tower, singing the praises of a beautiful life every day.

The concept of nobility was deeply implanted in her mind.

Just as today's magicians treat ordinary people, medieval nobles did not treat serfs as human beings.

Elizabeth Bathory, who had a strong background, was given an entire castle and gifts from the surrounding villages as a bride price by her husband when she got married.

This is the later infamous [Chakhetis] Castle.

Elizabeth herself did not even need to change her surname with her husband after she got married, and still kept her own surname of "Bathory".

After that, girls kept disappearing around the castle.

Rumors gradually spread across Hungary.

The last girl who escaped by chance exposed everything in the castle.

The Countess, who is usually kind to others, is actually a devil who is willing to bathe in the blood of virgins for her youth and beauty.

The famous torture device, the Iron Maiden, was the tool used by Elizabeth Bathory to extract the blood of virgins.

She drank the blood of girls, bathed in their blood, and killed nearly 650 girls in ten years.

The shocking rumors eventually swept through the entire Hungarian upper class, and Elisabeth Bathory herself was placed under house arrest in the city of Çakhedis until her death.

But there are also rumors that the countess turned into a vampire during her house arrest, turning into a bat at night and continuing to hunt.

The legend of the vampire Camilla is gradually taking shape.

Mashu frowned and looked at the stairs of blood flowing down like a waterfall.

If we look at the current scene, it is indeed consistent with the legend of vampires.

But she clearly remembered that the Assassin she was fighting had very distinct dragon characteristics.

Why does Assassin Camilla, a vampire, have the nature of a dragon?

This also troubled Matthew.

"A vampire...it's really evil."

Giorgios couldn't help but sigh when he saw the scene around him.

"Now we can't contact Chaldea at all, and we can't find any trace of our senior and Director Animusfia."

Matthew kept trying to contact Leonardo da Vinci in the control room, but failed once.

"hateful------"

The giant cross-shaped shield hit his feet, blood splattered everywhere.

"Don't lose your cool, Miss Matthew."

Giorgios's words brought Matthew back to her senses, and she realized the gaffe she had just made.

"Sorry, Mr. Giorgios."

Georges shook his head and said:

"It's okay, I can understand that you care about the little Master, but the more times this happens, the more you need to stay calm and think."

"yes!"

"Based on the fact that we were not far apart when we were teleported in, the little master girl should also be with your director. Since she is with your director, the only enemy that can pose a threat to them should be assassin.

Already."

Giorgios witnessed the magic of Animusfia twice, once was the shadow of Uranus during the day, and the other was the shadow of Jupiter that illuminated the earth at night.

No matter which time he had to admit that he could not match it on his own.

Animusfia is worthy of being a leader who can lead the human security agency in the future.

If he knew that Animusfia had just landed in Chaldea and had only been the director for less than a week, he didn't know what he would have planned.

"We don't have any way to find them. If we just wander around in this space, it will be more difficult to reunite. The only clue right now is this entrance. The magic power coming from the contract is still stable, indicating that there is nothing big on the Master's side.

question."

"You mean?"

"If I remember correctly, the Assassin we fought has the characteristics of a dragon. Although I don't know why she became a dragon as a vampire, there is no doubt that the breath of a dragon comes from the depths of this entrance."

Mashu looked at the stairs that seemed to extend into hell and said:

"Is Mr. Giorgios saying that the assassin is most likely under here?"

"That's right, if you can defeat the opponent directly, this Noble Phantasm will naturally defeat itself."

Giorgios nodded, holding the holy sword Ascalon, and resolutely walked down the stairs of blood, and Matthew also followed his pace.

...........

Gradually going down the stairs, the blood rose from the original depth of the sole to half of Mashu's calf.

Walking became difficult, the dark red light coming from the entrance slowly disappeared, and the interior of the dungeon became dark.

Fortunately, for Mashu and Giorgos, who are sub-servants, they can still clearly see the things in front of them even if the surrounding environment is dark.

“Gudonggudonggudong————”

A sound like something floating suddenly appeared.

Matthew and Giorgios looked at each other, nodded, and raised the giant shield in their hands.

Move forward gradually.

The sound of messy footsteps and the sound of blood being trampled on came from the distance.

In Matthew's field of vision, a silver-haired lady carrying a black lace dress kept running towards her.

The hanging black veil makes it difficult to see her true face from a distance.

Standard widow attire.

"Help...save me!"

After seeing Matthew and Giorgios, the lady seemed to have seen a straw of hope and called for help.

Then Matthew saw the monster chasing her behind her————

The naked, pale man was lying face up. His limbs were as slender as a spider, crawling in an anti-joint posture.

The head looked like its neck had been broken, twisted at an impossible angle and looking straight ahead. The area where hair should have been densely covered was wrapped in a rag stained red with blood.

"You do what you do, you do what you do, what you do——————"

There are no eyes or ears, and there is nothing under the nose.

There was only a huge mouth on his forehead, opening and closing back and forth, screaming loudly.

Without thinking much, Ma Xiu leaped up and landed behind the lady.

The blood under his feet splashed everywhere, forming a blood curtain in front of Mashu.

"You did it!!!!!!"

The pale head broke through the blood curtain, and a horrifying face appeared in front of Matthew.

"ha!"

The giant shield smashed the monster's body to the side.

"You are a dragon!"

The holy sword followed closely and chopped off the monster's head.

The headless monster fell helplessly into the blood pool, and its body turned into stinking pus and melted into the blood.

Before Matthew could turn around to ask about the lady's condition, more strange creatures appeared one after another from the deep darkness.

"You do what you do, you do what you do, what you do——————"

Either screaming or whispering, the monsters surrounded Matthew and Giorgios.
