"Xuanyuan, tell me what the situation is!" Luo Fengyun was in contact with Xuanyuan Hao at this time, using the communicator left by Xuanyuan Hao. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Caster showed up, come to the river as soon as possible. ”

"I see. Luo Fengyun nodded, his wings opened on his back, and then quickly flew out.

Because of the strange aura before, Luo Fengyun had to remain vigilant and quickly get in touch with Xuanyuan Hao.

"It turned out to be that guy. Luo Fengyun frowned, but his speed was not slow at all, and he quickly rushed to the river.

……

The fluctuation of the spell released near the Unanjiang River is equivalent to the multiple chanting of ceremonial spells, and it is the kind that can only be activated by using the magic power of dozens of people. All the magicians in Fuyuki City, in other words, all the masters who participated in the Holy Grail War, must have felt it.

Lancer, and the newly acquired rights to its master, Sola Nazelle Sofias, are standing on the roof of the Winterwood Center under construction from a high vantage point with the best view for the purpose of seeking out the enemy. Tonight, a strange thick fog appeared over the Weiyuan River, making the view west of the central building extremely bad. With human eyesight, you can only faintly see the illuminated Fuyugi Bridge.

"-Can you see what's going on?lancer!"

Hearing Sora's question, Lancer, who had seen through the fog with the Servant's unusual vision, nodded.

"Sure enough, it's Caster. It seems that standing in the middle of the river intends to do something. I can't see the specifics. ”

It's still the same, there is no intention of hiding at all, and in the case of Caster, it shouldn't be defenseless at all.

Due to the overseer's bounty handling, the other servants targeted him, but he didn't seem to be aware of it.

"There's never been a better time to deal with him, right?"

"Yes, no matter what he's doing, it's best to get rid of him before it gets results. ”

Of course, it's not just that—Sola looked at the spell engraved on the back of her hand and took it from her fiancé, Kenes Achipolud, and pondered—the appearance of Caster must have been noticed by the other masters. In order to receive additional spells from the Overseer as a reward, the caster must be defeated before the competitor.

By the time you successfully claim Caster's head, the spell that had been missing due to Keneth's stupidity will revert to its full form once again. The thought of the spell's original three-in-one form, the bond with the Heroic Spirit Dilumudo, was about to be restored intact, and Sora couldn't contain the excitement in her heart.

"It's up to me to fight, Soradans, please stay here and enjoy the exploits I have built. ”

"Why, I'm the master now, too. Cover on the side. ”

Looking at her pleading look, Lancer shook his head resolutely.

"That's not going to work. With all due respect, you don't have the abilities of Lord Kenas. It's dangerous to go to that riverbank. It was very difficult for me to fight while protecting you who could not defend yourself. Thank you for your understanding. ”

"But ......"

Despite what he said, for Sora now, even if Lancer left her for a second, she would be heartbroken with worry.

"Do you mean, Lord Sora, that you have doubts about my skills, and think that it is too childish for me to fight without permission?"

Lancer asked, narrowing his eyes. Sora quickly shook her head. Aside from that, Sora remembers the humiliation that Kenays inflicted on Lancer. For Lancer, who still swears allegiance to Keneth, it is important for him to understand that Sora is the one who is truly worthy of allegiance.

"Lancer, it's up to you to make the judgment on the spot. Fight to your heart's content. ”

"Understood. ”

Lancer lowered his head quietly, then kicked the steel bars under his feet and jumped into the brightly lit street.

Looking at the back of the servant who was jumping on the roofs of the houses and galloping all the way to the river, Sora sighed with a heartbroken sigh.

Never since he became Master in place of Keneth, the Heroic Spirit, has not smiled at Sora.

Saber drove the Mercedes and arrived at the source of the anomalous magic, Futokawa, in just a few minutes, from the stronghold prepared by Kiritsugu.

The old streets of the small mountain village are narrow and complex, and it usually takes more than 30 minutes anyway, but the Servant's riding skills completely overturn common sense and accomplish this miracle. The silver-white hull sped through slender corners, and its speed had broken through the laws of physics.

As he galloped onto the riverside boulevard, Saber made a spectacular left jerk and stopped the Mercedes, jumped out of the car before the Gullwing doors were fully opened, and sped off towards the embankment. The fog, which was enough to cause ordinary people to lose their vision, had no effect on the servant's vision at all.

Finally, the enemy appeared in front of his sight, and he stood leisurely in the center of the two-hundred-meter-wide river. Alice Phil, who got down from the co-pilot's seat and stood on the embankment, also stared at the figure in the fog with her magically enhanced strength, frowning anxiously.

"Sure enough, as expected, it's Caster. ”

Saber nodded, warily observing the hostile servant's movements. There is still no caster with a master, and standing in the middle of the river without an island is like standing on the water. If you look closely, you will find that the water under his feet has gathered a large number of terrifying alien shadows. Not long ago, the hordes of monsters that had fought in Senli now gathered at the foot of the caster to form a shallow.

Judging by the extremely unusual release of mana, there is no doubt that the caster is performing some kind of large-scale magic. The dense fog formed by the river as its source is probably caused by the aftermath of this magical power. Not only did Caster not chant, he didn't even show any signs of concentration, he just stood there nonchalantly—from the magic book in his hand, a frenzied vortex of magic poured out continuously, and the space around him became distorted as a result.

As an unconventional magic furnace, it is also a treasure that can unleash magic on its own...... If it falls into the hands of a madman, it becomes an extremely dangerous murder weapon.

"Welcome, Holy Maiden. It is a great honor for me to see you again. ”

Caster still bowed earnestly, anger burning in Saber's pupils.

"Unrepentant fellow...... What are you going to do tonight?"

"I'm sorry, Joan of Arc. You are not the guest of honor at tonight's banquet. ”

Caster replied with a wicked smile on his face.

"But I will be glad that you will be able to take the seat. Gilles de Raybutt, a feast of death and depravity, please enjoy it!"

Caster laughed out loud. Beneath his feet, the dark waters began to stir. The countless monsters gathered at the summoner's feet shot out countless tentacles in unison, engulfing the caster who stood on their heads in cloaks.

At first glance, it seems that the rebellious demons are attacking the caster, but the caster, who is covered in tentacles, raises his voice and laughs wildly. The arrogant laughter bordered on screaming.

"Now I will once again raise the banner of the Savior! The outcasts will gather to me! The despised will gather to me! I will rule you! I will lead you! The resentment of our oppressed will soon be conveyed to 'God'! O Lord of heaven! I will wash away my sins and praise you!"

The foaming surface of the water swells up and pushes up the caster engulfed in tentacles. The number of monsters that used to be his foothold has increased dramatically. Estimated from the depth of the river bottom, the number is unimaginably terrifying.

“caster…… Absorbed?!"

Saber felt a shudder all over her body, and in her eyes, the number of monsters gathered around the summoner's body continued to increase. The summoning ability of the "Luoyan City Textbook" is really endless. Countless tentacles tangled and fused together to form a piece of flesh.

The pieces of meat are covered with disgusting slime and glow, and it is really a sticky beach island. Not only that, but the meat cuts still continue to swell.

Caster's form was completely invisible, only his voice still echoing haughtily.

"O arrogant God! O cold God! We will pull you down from the throne of God! God's beloved lambs! Those who have bodies like God will be humiliated and torn apart by us! The ridicule of our rebels will knock at the gates of heaven with the sorrow of the Son of God!"

The filthy pieces of flesh gradually expand and take shape. Or it can be said that this image is the essence of the otherworldly monster. The monsters that Caster has driven so far are all fragments of this, just miscellaneous soldiers.

"That's ......"

The alien shadow towering in the darkness, the image was hateful and had a great sense of oppression, Saber couldn't help but sigh.

Even the overlords of the deep sea, the whale and the king squid, do not have such a huge body. This nightmarish figure that reigns over all the seas of the world is an aquatic giant beast worthy of the title "Sea Devil".

Fortunately, there was no one on the embankment where she and Alice Fell stood, but the lights were on in the houses on the other side of the river, and even though it was late at night, a loud commotion could be heard. Such a strange thing happening in front of everyone's eyes will certainly cause a commotion. Thankfully, due to the dense fog obscuring the view, there were only a few places where the monster could be seen. The panic of the inhabitants is also confined to a specific area.

Despite this, the tacit principle that the Holy Grail War must be fought in secrecy was completely undermined.

"I underestimated this guy...... I didn't expect him to summon so many monsters. ”

"No, no matter how powerful the servant is, there is a limit to the 'character' of the demon it can summon and drive - but if you don't consider the 'drive', there is no such limit. ”

Alice Phil, who was originally very calm, also revealed fear in her voice this time.

"If you don't consider the 'control' after the summoning, it's just 'summoned'...... No matter how powerful a monster is, it can be summoned in theory. All that is needed is to expand the magic and magic of the 'gate'. ”

“…… So, that monster isn't under the control of Caster?"

"I guess that's right. ”

Alice Phil was surprised precisely because of this fear that only a magician could understand. However, it is not difficult for Saber to understand the seriousness of the matter.

"The so-called magic refers to the 'magic of mastery', but the kind of real 'magic' that can't be understood by such a small concept. The whole body is full of gluttony, devouring the product of this desire and materialization. The act of summoning such a thing in itself can no longer be a 'technique'. ”

Saber clenched his fists in anger and thought of the magician's madness.

"So, who is this monster not trying to challenge?"

"Yes. It's just an invitation to eat. Such a town will be swallowed up by it in a few hours, and there will be nothing left. ”

“！！！”

It seems that the caster did not realize the purpose of the battle at all, and the meaning of victory. That crazy servant is intent on sabotaging the Holy Grail War itself. and the destruction of all life in this city.

Hearing a familiar voice, Saber turned around. Holding the reins in his hand, the big man servant who was about to land the glittering Kamui chariot in the park square where the two of them were, smiled extremely disrespectfully at the first comer.

"Hey, Knight King, it's a nice night...... That said, but it doesn't seem like the time to say hello. ”

"King of Conquest...... You still don't know what to do, are you just here for fun?"

Seeing that Saber was not letting his guard down at all, Rider waved his hand.

"Don't do that. There will be a truce tonight. If you leave that big guy alone, I won't be able to fight you with peace of mind. I've called out just now, and Lancer has responded. It should be right away. ”

“…… What about the other servants?"

"The Assassin has been killed by me. Berserker will not discuss. Archer - It's useless to say it, with that kind of guy's personality, he wouldn't say yes easily. ”

Saber nodded, and placed his hand in front of the breastplate with a solemn expression.

"Understood. I have no objection to fighting with you. The King of Conquest, although it is a temporary alliance, let's take an oath together. ”

"Huh...... You were pretty sober when you were fighting...... Well, what, does the master have any objections?"

“……”

Of course, it wasn't that he was dissatisfied, but seeing Rider and Saber happily put aside their past grievances, Alice Phil was a little overwhelmed, while Webb showed obvious determination and carefully poked his head out of Rider's chariot console, with no intention of getting off.

It is consistent that the dialogue between people on the battlefield, whether it is killing the enemy or forming an alliance, is a calm judgment without any personal feelings. This is the spiritual will shared by those who have been in troubled times.

That being said, the Caster's madness must now be stopped anyway. If the oath can be kept, then joining forces is the right thing to do.

"I don't mind. I-Einzberen promised a truce!Rider master, what do you think?"

Hearing Alice Field's call, Webb nodded reluctantly.

“…… Einzbelen, do you have any strategy? Rider just heard about it, isn't it the first time you've fought with Caster?"

Indeed, for Saber, this can be said to be a reproduction of the offensive and defensive battles in Senli, which is his own position. Although he had barely repelled the Caster with the help of Lancer, he was now fighting back with more power. However, this time there is not only a lancer, but also an alliance with the rider. There is absolutely no need to be pessimistic.

What's more, Xuanyuan Hao, who is an Avenger, is also on the way, and Saver Luo Fengyun is already very close to here, and Luo Fengyun has a skill that can deal with the big guy in front of him.

In any case, it can only be solved quickly. The monster was still sustained in the present realm by the caster's mana, and if it started foraging for food and sufficiency on its own, it wouldn't be able to cope with it. The caster must be blocked before that. ”

Saber nodded in understanding.

"That guy's, that magic book. ”

The self-discipline summoning magic furnace, the "Snail City Textbook" - this unconventional treasure has now become the heart of the sea devil along with the caster.

"I see. He must be dealt with before he goes ashore to forage for food. But—"

Rider looked at the dark green behemoth with a sad face.

"Caster is in the center of that pile of meat, what to do?"

"Get him out, that's the only way. ”

An answering voice came from behind the rider. In the glow of the street lamp, a figure with two guns appeared. A little later than the vehicles that soared through the sky, the Lancer also joined. In this way, three servants against the Caster League arrived.

"I'm coming!" Xuanyuan Hao jumped down. He handed Sakura to Alice Phil, "Miss Alice Phil, help take care of my master." ”

"Good. Alice Fell nodded.

"If I can strip that guy's treasure out, I can use the 'Red Rose of Demon Breaker' to destroy the spell in one fell swoop...... Of course, that guy wouldn't easily hit the same move twice. ”

"Lancer, can you aim at Caster's Noble Phantasm and shoot the gun from the shore?"

Hearing Saber's question, Lancer smiled disdainfully.

"Something of this magnitude is not a matter of effort. Don't underestimate the Heroic Spirit of the Gun. ”

"Okay, then, I'll be the striker with Rider. No problem, right? ”

"No problem. My chariot doesn't need roads, Saber, how are you going to deal with the enemy in the river?"

Saber smiled at Rider's question.

"I am blessed by the goddess of the lake, and no amount of water can stop me. ”

"Oh, that's a rare creature...... I want to take you under my command even more. ”

Saber, who had always been angry when he heard Rider's jokes in the past, only glanced at him sternly this time.

"I'll remember your nonsense. Now the most important thing is to expose the caster from the monster. ”

"Haha, that's right! Then I'll get the first shot!"

Rider laughed loudly, spurred the bull pulling the chariot, and rushed into the sky with a high-pitched thunder. Ignoring Weber, who was still mentally prepared and screaming, the Conqueror King's galloping Noble Phantasm rushed towards the giant Sea Devil.

"Good luck, Saber. ”

The Knight King nodded to Alice Phil and jumped from the shore into the river.

The glittering boot armor stepped on the water, splashing silver - but her toes didn't sink into the water. The water beneath Saber's feet was as solid as the earth, supporting her as she ran. This is exactly the miracle that can be triggered by the king who has been blessed by the spirit of the lake.

As she approached, the sea devil's body grew larger, as if it was about to overwhelm Saber, and its ugly and hideous form shocked her.

Countless tentacles stretched out like snakes, meeting the approaching Knight King.

However, its weirdness and ugliness could not stop her from moving forward, and now Saber had nothing to fear.

"I'm going to make a break here, Caster!"

Filled with fighting spirit, she raised the Wind King's enchantment and slashed at the Sea Devil mercilessly.
