Hollow/FGO Chapter 31 (Patreon)

I had decided that killing Fafnir needed to be done as soon as possible. And to do so... I got brutal in tearing the massive dragon apart.

The shape-changing sword God Killer morphed into large golden claws that covered my arms and then I burrowed... Dug into the dragon's chest cavity and just...

Tore that shit up from the inside with my great strength driving the Anti-Dragon blessed claws through its organs and flesh.

There was no great battle through the air or me valiantly meeting claw with sword. No, I was a Hollow and I was just going to kill this demonic dragon.

Also... God Killer was gleefully absorbing all the blood from the dragon in order to enhance my natural stores of mana so I didn't need to absorb as much mana from Ritsuka. As well as allow me to provide for Tiamat who was my Servant.

But Fafnir didn't die quickly even as I tore him apart from the inside. It took the damned dragon a good five minutes of me being a murder blender within the dragon for God Killer to give a hum of satisfaction to tell me that it had collected the draconic essence.

"Now to check on Jeanne." I muttered as I tunneled out of the soon-to-be corpse of the dragon and as I came out I saw that Jeanne was a couple miles down using her flag in large sweeping motions to smash the hordes of undead.

"Blake! I am glad to see you well and Fafnir defeated!" She said happily and I nodded as I used my spiritual energy to blast away the remaining dragon gore in my clothes before I pointed a finger past her with the weakest possible Cero blasting past her to evaporate the lines of undead and clear our surrounding area.

"Let's go deal with-" I spoke as I as pinged outwards with my spiritual pressure and my sword flashed upwards to block as a darkened burnt flag smashed into the sword that was above our Jeanne's head.

The corrupted Jeanne was here. And I frowned as I saw she was missing an arm and had a massive rent from undoubtedly Artoria's sword that carved open her chest with blood pouring from her form.

With only her mad hate keeping her going as she snarled and our Jeanne stepped away from me to block the corrupted Jeanne who kicked her summoned sword into the air to kick it towards Jeanne.

"This is enough!" I snarled as I batted aside her flag with God Killer and I allowed the flag to hit me into the side burning me with the unholy flames that covered it. As I came in and grabbed the corrupted Jeanne by the throat.

And then slammed her into the ground with earth-shattering might that broke the cobblestones beneath our feet as I used a Sonido in the air to push us downwards.

I could feel Jeanne's spine crack in her neck from the force I put onto it and with that I paused.

Seeing that Jeanne's remaining hand froze as her body couldn't send a signal to the arm. "Kill me... Properly you feckless bastard. You ruined everything after all." Jeanne spat with her spittle hitting a hand I raised up to catch the spit.

"Maybe see you again Jeanne," I said with an exhale as I grabbed Jeanne's chin and jawline with one hand and then the back of her head with the other. And then using my entire body's strength I did a firm twist followed by a harsh upward jerk that made Jeanne's neck crack like a gunshot.

And I knew her Soul Graph was broken with her dying as her remaining body glowed with golden light as she began fading away with myself jumping out of the pit I made with Jeanne's body.

"Jeanne, let's go. They are dealing with Bluebeard, who knows what must have happened to let the corrupted Jeanne over at us." I spoke firmly with Jeanne nodding with us running towards the obvious Servant battle on the other side of Paris.

-

'Damn... Fucking Bluebeard did manage to tap into Prelati's book for a while.' I cursed slightly as I saw Tiamat's summoned Lahmu dealing with the fucking hordes of eldritch spiders, and thorn-covered starfish that were vomiting acid powerful enough to melt the flesh of the Lahmu.

With myself now carrying Jeanne as we avoided the horde of fighting on the ground as it seemed damn near endless I saw in the distance as Tiamat glared at Blue Beard sending a pink of light that shot from her eyes that blasted at Blue Beard like one of my own Cero's.

But in response, Blue Beard just opened up a portal that absorbed the magical blast and then as Artoria came up beside him with Excalibur Morgan flaring with malignant energy. A massive tendril slammed into the beam from Excalibur Morgan.

'Some servants when they have unlimited mana via a grail are just broken.' I thought as I dropped Jeanne a couple of meters off in the air next to Ritsuka to protect her as I used a chunk of my mana to Space Skip forward in Gillies's blind spot.

And coming out of the blind spot I gagged I as Gillies cackled even as I punched a hole through his chest with my sword.

"The domain of the stars are here! You are choking on the emptiness of space and the eldritch Grain of the stars that you an earthbound soul cannot absorb haha!" He cackled.

"Grain huh... Didn't think I would run into that in this timeline. But you would be someone who has access to it." I muttered before Gilles's eye's bugged out a full three inches as I took a deep breath with my chest visibly expanding.

As I absorbed the Grain in the air that was literally dozens of times thicker in magical energy than the magic in the air during the Age of the Gods.

"Thanks, Gillies... This is the first time since I came to this world that I feel at home haha!" I laughed as I remembered my counterpart feeling of magical energy comfort being in the heart of the Fairy Lands in the DC Universe.

I pointed my finger at Gillies and I said. "Portal this asshole. Cero Oscuras!" And he tried...

Gillies fucking tried to make a big enough portal to send my Cero into the void. But the thing was... The bigger the portal and longer it was out. The more Grain I was able to absorb which enhanced the Cero even further until I felt his portal wink out of existence.

"Ah." I heard Gillies speak dumbfoundedly as the roar of the Cero flowed over him and my spiritual energy exploded like a bomb with said spiritual energy being the perfect weapon against a Servant like himself.
