To fully understand what happened after Joan of Arc disappeared, we need to go back in time a little.
The collapse of [Saint of the Red Lotus] started with Jeanne as the center, and eventually completely dissipated on the periphery.
Just like how it unfolded back then.
Before everyone in Chaldea, including Animusfia, who was waiting outside the inherent barrier, observed, Gil de Rey and Bluebeard witnessed Jeanne returning to the "seat".
The torture is over.
Be it the fire of revenge or the holy fire of God, all the flames have been completely extinguished at this moment.
After Joan of Arc disappeared, the French army that symbolized the "Hundred Years' War" was no longer complete and could not continue to exist in the form of secondary heroic spirits, so they disappeared one after another.
Fortunately, their opponents had also been defeated. At this time, Fafnir only had the body of the evil dragon remaining on the ground.
Even the holy fire cannot burn out the evil dragon.
The dark dragon stretched out its wings and completely froze its posture at the last second before roaring to the sky.
The frightening momentum still came like a tide, but the dragon's usual golden eyes were no longer bright.
Now it's more like brass than gold.
The huge green sigil on Fafnir's chest no longer shines.
It's time for the curse of greed and greed to end.
After paying the price with his life, Fafnir was freed from the curse.
However, Bluebeard and Gil de Rey never paid attention to the evil dragon from the beginning. In this person's heart, the first priority was always Jeanne d'Arc.
For Bluebeard, Fafnir is just a tool used to help Joan of Arc get revenge; for Gil de Rey, Fafnir is just a powerful enemy that hinders Joan of Arc.
"Jane...Jane...Jane...Jane!!!!!"
Bluebeard ran like crazy to the place where the two Joans disappeared.
Then, while shouting Jeanne d'Arc's name, she stretched out her hands and waved them in the air, as if she was trying to put together the spiritual base of Jeanne d'Arc that had dissipated in the air.
Or maybe he was just trying in vain to retain the saint who had passed away.
Gilles de Rey did not stop him.
He is unwilling to stop "himself".
It's funny to say that Gil de Rey found that after Joan disappeared, he even lost the definition of "self".
He was clearly looking at Bluebeard, but it felt as if he was in the middle of the battlefield trying to catch the air in vain.
Forcing himself not to look at him, Gil de Rey turned his head and looked at the ground.
it's all over......
Thinking of this, Gil de Rey's legs lost strength and he collapsed on the battlefield.
Once again he lost the people and beliefs that had sustained him for so long.
Once again, he lost his saint.
Gilles de Rey struggled to pick up a sword that had lost its owner and stood up leaning on it.
His own sword had already fallen into the mouths of the Star Familia summoned by Blue Beard. Even if the Star Familia were eliminated by Joan of Arc's Noble Phantasm, his sword would have disappeared.
But Gil de Rey is no longer a man who cannot fight without his sword.
If the reunion with the saint made Gil de Rey, a middle-aged man, grow in any way.
Then he must be freed from his cowardice.
Gilles de Rey stared at the human skin book abandoned by Bluebeard - the Luoyan City Textbook.
"Is this the book..."
Looking at the plain-looking book, Gilles de Rey said to himself.
Faintly, Gil de Rey seemed to hear the book calling him.
It must be because of the existence of this book... that my future self can commit so many crimes driven by the darkness in my heart...
Just having a bullet called darkness is not enough for Gil de Rey to rise to the "seat". There is darkness in everyone's heart. What really makes Bluebeard infamous is the gun called "Luoyan City Textbook".
Gil de Rey raised the sword in his hand towards the book on the ground.
Then let him atone for his sins——————————
The huge force coming from his waist and the pain that followed filled Gil de Rey's brain in an instant.
Before he realized what was happening to him, Gil de Rey's vision turned 360 degrees, flying high, and then fell.
Then came the pain that felt like the whole body was falling apart, and the limbs in the lower body completely lost all feeling.
Then what appeared in Gilles de Rey's field of vision was a hand picking up the book, and a tentacle returning to the page.
"Yes! Yes! I almost forgot, thank you! Thank you so much, 'me'!"
Bluebeard picked up the blue book with a look of enthusiasm.
"That great being must still have a way... As long as that person can be summoned, as long as he can follow the description in this book... Joan of Arc, Joan of Arc De will definitely come back again!"
Ignoring Gil de Rey whose lower body was crushed, Blue Beard walked to the vicinity of the Holy Grail holding the Luoyan City Teaching Book.
He also caught Fafnir's body in his sight.
"If...if you take these as sacrifices————"
With a crazy expression on his face, Bluebeard opened the human skin book in his hand.
The Luoyan City Jiaoben Wufeng automatically rose from his hand slowly.
"Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!"
"Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!"
"Iä! Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!"
Crazy people, shouting crazily about the indescribable existence under the deep sea.
——In the eternal mansion R'lyeh, the sleeping Cthulhu awaits you in your dreams.
But now, the dream is waking up.
It's not yours, it's his.
