Book 2: Chapter 26: Analyzing Spatial Jumpâs Principlesâ¦
âCan you let me go?â Chen Heng had hugged Jeanne dâArc Alter by the waist again because of the earlier attack, to prevent her from going too far away and getting finished off by a Railgun.
âAre you confident of blocking the earlier Railgun? If you canât, donât speak. Just wait quietly.â
Jeanne dâArc Alter kept quiet.
Jeanne dâArc Alter was a typical glass-cannon Servant. Her Noble Phantasm focused on offense, and her defense was poor.
While Jeanne dâArc Alter could bring out an attack no weaker than the Railgun, she would have difficulty defending against such an attack.
âLet me use my Noble Phantasm on him!â Jeanne dâArc Alter was also a stubborn person. Since she could not defend, she would just attack.
âItâs useless. This fellow has a spatial jump ability. It is not something you can catch up with using speed.â Chen Heng rejected Jeanne dâArc Alterâs suggestion.
âGood judgment. You must be a defensive Servant, right? Your defense covers all directions, and it is pretty strong. However, how many of such attacks can you block?â As Reincarnator 9527 spoke, he took out another metal nail and aimed it at Jeanne dâArc Alter.
âHey, Jeanne dâArc Alter, use your Noble Phantasm on him.â
âDidnât you say it wouldnât hit him? Why do you want me to use my Noble Phantasm?â Jeanne dâArc Alter thought, When I wanted to use my Noble Phantasm, you said no. Now you want me to use my Noble Phantasm. Well, I wonât!
âWe can observe the range of his spatial jumps, the cooldowns, his habits when using the spatial jumps, and so on.â This was pure nonsense from Chen Heng. He just wanted Jeanne dâArc Alter to use her Noble Phantasm to force Reincarnator 9527 to use his spatial jump several times.
Chen Heng felt confident of grasping the pattern if he observed the spatial jump a few times.
Chen Heng had an attraction ability. He could use it to fold space and perform spatial jumps. However, spatial jumps were very dangerous. That was why he had never tried it. Furthermore, he had never met a spatial ability user.
Now that he had met someone who could spatial jump, he had to observe properly.
If Chen Heng influenced space when Reincarnator 9527 spatial jumped, Reincarnator 9527 might botch the spatial jump and die. After all, spatial jumping required extreme precision.
ââ¦Iâll listen to you this time. Protect me. Iâll use the Noble Phantasm.â Jeanne dâArc Alter decided to obey Chen Heng this once, as she felt his words made sense.
âThis is the roar of my soul that hatred has tempered. La Grondement Du Haine!â The flames and spears extremely familiar to Chen Heng appeared again. However, their target was not Chen Heng this time.
âItâs useless. Itâs useless. How could such an attack catch up with me, who can spatial jump? If you are trying to test my abilityâs cooldown, then pretend I said nothing. Iâll tell you anyway. This great meâs spatial ability has no cooldown.â
Reincarnator 9527 had spent a long time in the Host God Space. He immediately could tell the primary purpose of Jeanne dâArc Alter in using her Noble Phantasm. However, Reincarnator 9527âs boasting only confirmed for Chen Heng that Reincarnator 9527âs spatial jumps had limitations.
Chen Heng did not reply to Reincarnator 9527. Instead, he seriously observed the spatial folds generated by the spatial jumps.
Seeing the effect of her Noble Phantasm weaken, Jeanne dâArc Alter asked Chen Heng, âShould I use my Noble Phantasm again?â
âThere is no need for now.â Chen Heng had already remembered the spatial fold manifestation when Reincarnator 9527 continuously used his spatial jumps. Now, he was analyzing it.
He Who Knows Fate: Does anyone know the principle of folding space to make spatial jumps?
17-Year-Old Beautiful Young Lady: Thisâ¦honestly speaking, Iâm not good at spatial jumps. My Gap simply opens a hole in space.
Queen of Ice and Snow: Your question happens to hit my blind spot.
Iron Fist Teacher: How would I understand something as profound as spatial jumps?
Lord of the White Night: Itâs hard to say without being present.
He Who Knows Fate: â¦
After all, these powerhouses of the chat group were watching through a livestream, so it was normal that they could not provide much help.
âIt looks like you have given up, so just obediently hand over the Holy Grail. My sole objective here is the Holy Grail.â
âI think you are asking for a beating.â Chen Heng also wanted the Holy Grail. If not for not spoiling the storyline, he would not have targeted Fafnir but the Holy Grail instead.
âHumph! Looks like you choose to do it the hard way. I wonât hold back this time.â Reincarnator 9527 threw five nails into the air. The nails hovered in the air, sparking with electric light.
Under Reincarnator 9527âs control, the nails aimed at Chen Heng and Jeanne dâArc Alter. Then, he used his hand to hit the bottom of the nails, sending them shooting at the two like cannonballs.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The five nails struck Chen Hengâs barrier. However, the barrier perfectly stopped them.
âIt does not matter. I have many nails.â Reincarnator 9527 took out another bunch of steel nails. However, he got interrupted before he could launch them.
âSamadhi Through Transforming Flames!â
âBáthory Erzsébet!â
âRequiem for Death!â
Kiyohime, Elizabeth, and Amadeus used their Noble Phantasms.
A large flame dragon and Elizabethâs sound wave attack headed for Reincarnator 9527. Simultaneously, Amadeusâs Noble Phantasm placed a curse on him, lowering his offense and defense.
A metal wall rose in front of Reincarnator 9527, blocking the flame dragon. However, that failed to block Elizabethâs sound wave attack, which ignored defense.
âDamn it! These Servantsâ Noble Phantasms are indeed somewhat troublesome!â Reincarnator 9527 did not get injured, as a barrier of light had appeared to protect him. However, that light barrier shattered. He spatial jumped once more and held four steel nails between his five fingers. Then, he launched the four nails at the group of Servants, using Railgun.
Perhaps because of Amadeusâs Noble Phantasm, Reincarnator 9527âs attack had clearly weakened.
âLuminosité Eternelle!â
âLord Camelot: Now Is a Castle of Distant Ideals!â
The two Noble Phantasms repulsed the four nails, which bounced back with no effect.
What a joke! Mashâs Noble Phantasm could defend against Demon God King Goetia. How could it not block the Railgun-launched nails?
[TL Note: Demon God King Goetia is Beast I, the embodiment of pity, in the same class as Cath Palug. Here is his profile: /wiki/Goetia.]
As Reincarnator 9527 prepared to attack again, a wooden flying sword flew by his face, cutting off a strand of hair. This was after he had turned his head to dodge. Otherwise, he would have been injured.
