Is It Too Late to Leave the Chat Group? Book 02 Chapter 020: Pet +1

“This? It is a tool that can capture monsters. I can become a dragon knight if I can capture this Fafnir.” Chen Heng did not mind explaining to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Chen Heng could not act in a way that disrupted the story. However, they were already at the decisive battle. No matter what, Fafnir would disappear. Whether he captured it or killed it, the process did not matter. The most important thing was the result: Fafnir’s disappearance.

“This seems quite interesting. Is there more?”

“I have another one. I have a total of two. This one is for capturing Fafnir. The other is for capturing Jeanne d’Arc Alter. Your Chaldea does not have much combat force, right? If you use this to capture Jeanne d’Arc Alter, it would be like having a Servant. Even if Jeanne d’Arc Alter does not have a Holy Grail supporting her, she is still a strong Servant. Most importantly, you can summon her Servants using her bonds. However, Jeanne d’Arc Alter was created by Gilles de Rais using a Holy Grail. If she dies, she dies for good. She will not return to the Throne of Heroes.” Of course, the disposal of Jeanne d’Arc Alter after her capture would be up to Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Capture other Servants? Which proper Servant would be willing to enter a Poké Ball? This method was quite suitable for Jeanne d’Arc Alter.

Typically, a Servant would just be a clone of the main body in the Throne of Heroes. They already had a master, which was their main body—or rather, the Throne of Heroes. However, Jeanne d’Arc Alter had no main body or records in the Throne of Heroes. She could be captured because she was a faux Servant.

“Oh! He Who Knows Fate, can I use this to capture you?” Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly asked Chen Heng a strange question.

“…You are truly a crafty little thing. Even I had not thought of such a troublemaking method. Unfortunately, that will not work.” Chen Heng did not expect that Fujimaru Ritsuka had not given up on bringing him back to Chaldea.

Fujimaru Ritsuka could actually say she wanted to capture Chen Heng with the tool he gave her.

“Alright, alright. The more injured the monster is, the higher the chances are of the Poké Ball capturing it. Let me go and stab Fafnir a few more times.” As Chen Heng spoke, he did as he said, then tossed the Heavy Ball again.

Thud. Ding! Congratulations, Chen Heng, on failing again.

Chen Heng pulled the Heavy Ball back into his hand and looked at Fafnir.

“Hey, Fafnir, if you surrender now, I can let your Master accompany you. Otherwise, I will kill her after I kill you.” Since force did not work, Chen Heng tried persuasion. After all, Jeanne d’Arc Alter was called the Dragon Witch. Since she summoned Fafnir, they probably had a good relationship.

Chen Heng tossed the high-grade ball for the third time. Fafnir entered the Poké Ball, and the Poké Ball flashed red a few times before spitting Fafnir back out. Chen Heng’s face, which already showed a smile, congealed.

Right then, Fujimaru Ritsuka dashed back behind Mash’s shield. Her instincts told her to stay farther away from him for now.

Chen Heng’s expression turned increasingly darker. As his mood worsened, the gravity field covering the surrounding 500 meters suddenly shrank. Thus, the situation of the enemy’s side, which was losing, improved.

However, the gravity Fafnir endured increased rapidly. Five times…ten times…15 times…20 times…25 times…30 times…

Crackling came from the severely injured Fafnir’s bones.

Roar! Roar… Fafnir’s roars weakened, and it continuously vomited blood. It was already bleeding from its wounds. Now, it lost blood at an even more rapid rate.

Even Mash, who specialized in defense, did not dare to approach Chen Heng. Looking at the sunken ground, she wisely stepped back before dropping a reminder. “He…He Who Knows Fate, that…Fafnir is about to die. If you keep attacking it, it will really die.”

“…” Although Chen Heng did not reply, he restored the original range and magnitude of his gravity field. The enemy, which was about to counterattack, got suppressed again.

“I say, Fafnir.” Chen Heng walked to the debilitated Fafnir.

“I’ll give you one more chance. If you dare to resist capture this time, I will blow you up. Do you believe that?”

After Chen Heng spoke, he tossed out the store’s special-edition Heavy Ball.

This time, after Fafnir entered the ball, the Heavy Ball flashed red a few times, shook a few times, then released golden sparks (capture complete). The stubborn had finally submitted to Chen Heng’s show of strength.

“You captured it?” Fujimaru Ritsuka asked Chen Heng as she looked at the high-grade Poké Ball that returned to his hand after shrinking.

“What’s else? Capturing a mere Fafnir is easy for someone as suave as me.” Now that Chen Heng had captured Fafnir, he became cocky and started guffawing.

Fujimaru Ritsuka wanted to remind Chen Heng that he had failed three times and lost his temper. However, Chen Heng glared at her just as she opened her mouth. She immediately shut up.

“Fafnir died? Damn Dragonslayer!” Jeanne d’Arc Alter had summoned Fafnir using the Holy Grail, and the Holy Grail was still with her.

When Jeanne d’Arc Alter’s connection to Fafnir broke, she glanced in Chen Heng’s direction, found Fafnir missing, and concluded that Fafnir had died.

In reality, that was not the case. Right now, Fafnir was recuperating in the Heavy Ball, slowly recovering from its injuries. This was one of the reasons this Poké Ball was so expensive. (The original Poké Ball cost 200 points.)

Jeanne d’Arc’s battle with Jeanne d’Arc Alter was entirely verbal. Otherwise, how could she fight on equal terms with Jeanne d’Arc Alter, who had a Holy Grail supporting her?

When the two Jeanne d’Arcs fought, and the real Jeanne d’Arc asked her question, Jeanne d’Arc Alter had already guessed her situation.

After all, she was not a fool, just rash.

However, Jeanne d’Arc Alter did not want to admit it. She did not want to admit it at all. She did not want to admit that she was a counterfeit. She did not want to admit that her rage was pointless. She did not want to admit that her life was fake. She did not want to admit that what she was doing was meaningless. She did not want to admit…

So what if she did not want to admit it? Then, fight and forget everything in battle.

After defeating Fafnir, Chen Heng wanted to help Merlin. Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka wandered around, going to whichever place needed their help.
