Book 2: Chapter 26: Analyzing Spatial Jump’s Principles…

“Can you let me go?” Chen Heng had hugged Jeanne d’Arc 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.

“Are you confident of blocking the earlier Railgun? If you can’t, don’t speak. Just wait quietly.”

Jeanne d’Arc Alter kept quiet.

Jeanne d’Arc Alter was a typical glass-cannon Servant. Her Noble Phantasm focused on offense, and her defense was poor.

While Jeanne d’Arc Alter could bring out an attack no weaker than the Railgun, she would have difficulty defending against such an attack.

“Let me use my Noble Phantasm on him!” Jeanne d’Arc Alter was also a stubborn person. Since she could not defend, she would just attack.

“It’s useless. This fellow has a spatial jump ability. It is not something you can catch up with using speed.” Chen Heng rejected Jeanne d’Arc Alter’s suggestion.

“Good 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?” As Reincarnator 9527 spoke, he took out another metal nail and aimed it at Jeanne d’Arc Alter.

“Hey, Jeanne d’Arc Alter, use your Noble Phantasm on him.”

“Didn’t you say it wouldn’t hit him? Why do you want me to use my Noble Phantasm?” Jeanne d’Arc Alter thought, When I wanted to use my Noble Phantasm, you said no. Now you want me to use my Noble Phantasm. Well, I won’t!

“We can observe the range of his spatial jumps, the cooldowns, his habits when using the spatial jumps, and so on.” This was pure nonsense from Chen Heng. He just wanted Jeanne d’Arc 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.

“…I’ll listen to you this time. Protect me. I’ll use the Noble Phantasm.” Jeanne d’Arc Alter decided to obey Chen Heng this once, as she felt his words made sense.

“This is the roar of my soul that hatred has tempered. La Grondement Du Haine!” The flames and spears extremely familiar to Chen Heng appeared again. However, their target was not Chen Heng this time.

“It’s useless. It’s useless. How could such an attack catch up with me, who can spatial jump? If you are trying to test my ability’s cooldown, then pretend I said nothing. I’ll tell you anyway. This great me’s spatial ability has no cooldown.”

Reincarnator 9527 had spent a long time in the Host God Space. He immediately could tell the primary purpose of Jeanne d’Arc Alter in using her Noble Phantasm. However, Reincarnator 9527’s boasting only confirmed for Chen Heng that Reincarnator 9527’s 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 d’Arc Alter asked Chen Heng, “Should I use my Noble Phantasm again?”

“There is no need for now.” 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: This…honestly speaking, I’m 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: It’s hard to say without being present.

He Who Knows Fate: …

After all, these powerhouses of the chat group were watching through a livestream, so it was normal that they could not provide much help.

“It looks like you have given up, so just obediently hand over the Holy Grail. My sole objective here is the Holy Grail.”

“I think you are asking for a beating.” 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.

“Humph! Looks like you choose to do it the hard way. I won’t hold back this time.” Reincarnator 9527 threw five nails into the air. The nails hovered in the air, sparking with electric light.

Under Reincarnator 9527’s control, the nails aimed at Chen Heng and Jeanne d’Arc 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 Heng’s barrier. However, the barrier perfectly stopped them.

“It does not matter. I have many nails.” Reincarnator 9527 took out another bunch of steel nails. However, he got interrupted before he could launch them.

“Samadhi Through Transforming Flames!”

“Báthory Erzsébet!”

“Requiem for Death!”

Kiyohime, Elizabeth, and Amadeus used their Noble Phantasms.

A large flame dragon and Elizabeth’s sound wave attack headed for Reincarnator 9527. Simultaneously, Amadeus’s 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 Elizabeth’s sound wave attack, which ignored defense.

“Damn it! These Servants’ Noble Phantasms are indeed somewhat troublesome!” 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 Amadeus’s Noble Phantasm, Reincarnator 9527’s attack had clearly weakened.

“Luminosité Eternelle!”

“Lord Camelot: Now Is a Castle of Distant Ideals!”

The two Noble Phantasms repulsed the four nails, which bounced back with no effect.

What a joke! Mash’s 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.
