Chapter 83 Gahalad's Departure

"Chaldea, Chaldea!"

"You've really given me a tough challenge!"

Mash and Ritsuka, covered in wounds, heard footsteps around them and immediately looked up.

They saw a young man standing there, looking at them as if he was thinking about something.

"Who are you?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu, who had never seen Wang Bai's true form before, naturally did not recognize the Wang Bai in front of them.

But they knew that anyone appearing on this battlefield must be someone connected to magic.

Could it be another Master?

But haven't the other Masters already left the scene?

Suddenly, Fujimaru Ritsuka realized something and said in surprise, "Are you the Master of Caster?"

'

Wang Bai was speechless, not expecting that the other party would guess that he was his master.

He replied somewhat jokingly, "Didn't we just have a big fight? How come we don't recognize each other anymore?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash stared wide-eyed, never expecting such a powerful Caster to be so young.

Compared to other heroic spirits, his temperament was rather ordinary, but upon closer observation, one could sense a subtle charm about him.

"We never expected that we would only see your true colors at the very end, in the face of defeat and death."

The doctor just informed them via communication that the spirit transfer device has been repaired.

After a short wait, they can be teleported directly back to Chaldea from this dangerous place.

We must now delay until the very last minute.

Wang Bai watched as Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka stood up with their battered bodies, facing him, their formidable enemy.

I couldn't help but admire him. He truly deserves to be the protagonist of Chaldea. His perseverance and awareness alone are astonishing.

Of course, Wang Bai could guess what they were thinking.

Runes appeared in his hand, and the surrounding space was once again sealed.

Even a spirit transfer device cannot take it away unless Chaldea breaks through the blockade of runes. However, given Chaldea's current strength, it would take a considerable amount of time to cross time and break through the blockade of runes.

Wang Bai tried his best to comfort the two men: "Don't worry, I didn't come here to kill you. If I really wanted to kill you, I could just cast a magic trick from afar, and you would probably die instantly in your current physical condition."

"And now that I'm here in my true form, I'm definitely here with sincerity."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was somewhat puzzled. What right did they have to make Caster, the victor, negotiate?

Wang Bai's next words directly answered his doubts: "The Holy Grail War is nearing its end, I think you should know that, but there is a problem with the Holy Grail War at this moment."

"Two Heroic Spirits simply couldn't open the hole in Valhalla, so we need another Heroic Spirit to assist us."

Wang Bai's words caused Fujimaru Ritsuka's expression to change drastically. He immediately realized who the Heroic Spirit Wang Bai needed was.

The nameless heroic spirit within Mash.

"Please excuse my refusal!"

Whether considering Mashu's life or the help of the nameless heroic spirits, Fujimaru Ritsuka would never agree to Wang Bai's request at this moment.

Wang Bai thought for a moment, then immediately put on his most ferocious expression: "Have you thought this through? If you don't agree, neither of you will survive."

"However, if you agree, then two of you will survive."

Two survived?

Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately hesitated. He was not familiar with the nameless Heroic Spirit. If sacrificing the Heroic Spirit could save Mash's life, he might be willing to agree.

But immediately, Fujimaru Ritsuka put it out of his mind. Mash and he were able to survive thanks to that nameless heroic spirit. How could he do such an ungrateful thing?

Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka refused, Mashu also breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time became anxious.

Mashu didn't want her predecessors to die, nor did she want the heroic spirits within her to perish because of their betrayal.

Unfortunately, there is no perfect solution in the world.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu were both on guard, thinking that even if it was the last thing they did, they would fight against the Caster in front of them.

There are only Chaldeans who die in battle, not Chaldeans who surrender.

Seeing their unwavering stance, Wang Bai's previously serious and fierce expression transformed into a smile, sending chills down the spines of the two Chaldea members.

"Oh, that's alright, we can think of another way."

"Perhaps we can find an ending that allows Mash to live, ensures the safety of the Heroic Spirits, and is acceptable to Fujimaru Ritsuka."

error?

Both Chaldea members were surprised. Could this really be possible?

Just then, the doctor's communication reached Fujimaru Ritsuka's ears: "The spirit particle transfer device is set up and we can teleport you back immediately."

Fujimaru Ritsuka was overjoyed, finally free from having to face this seemingly ordinary but actually oppressive person.

Keeping her expression unchanged, Fujimaru Ritsuka quietly awaited the moment of spirit transfer.

One minute, two minutes —

Five minutes passed, and there was still no movement from the doctor.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why there's a problem with your space, the process of spirit particle transfer has been blocked."

Seeing that Chaldea and the others remained silent, Wang Bai tentatively asked, "Are you talking to the doctor?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka was taken aback when she heard this, and at the same time realized that the other party was so familiar with them.

They even knew where they came from and what their names were.

It should be noted that Fujimaru Ritsuka had never met this caster before, nor did she introduce herself.

"Who exactly are you?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Wang Bai warily.

"Good question, Fujimaru Ritsuka."

Wang Bai dropped the last trace of jest from his face, his expression becoming focused and sincere.

"As for who I am, you can think of me as a traveler. That's why I know about Chaldea, and I also know Romani Archman, the doctor you're talking about."

""

"I also know the true identity of the noble knight within Mashu: Galahad, a Knight of the Round Table."

Mashu's body jolted suddenly, and Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes widened in surprise.

"Galahad! How did you find out that Mash was a Heroic Spirit? How did you discover that?"

Things that even those who live with you day and night don't know have been discovered by an outsider.

This kind of scene would be incredibly shocking to anyone.

Wang Bai didn't say much. In fact, he only knew a general idea, and saying more would expose his ignorance.

It's still unclear whether Mash knows about the Heroic Spirit she's possessing. If she doesn't, then she's essentially given away a spoiler.

"This is precisely the basis for my ability to negotiate with you."

"I know the mission that Chaldea bears, and I also know the crisis of humanity."

"I also know that Galahad wants to lend you his power in order to protect humanity."

"However, due to some unforeseen circumstances, the Holy Grail system is now missing a Heroic Spirit as the key to unlocking the world, so the Holy Grail ritual cannot be performed."

"But do you know why one Heroic Spirit is missing in the Holy Grail War?"

Wang Bai used a combination of truth and falsehood to manipulate Chaldea and the others.

Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately understood what Wang Bai meant: "You mean, it was precisely because of Chaldea's arrival that the Holy Grail Ritual believed Mash was also a summoned Heroic Spirit, so the Heroic Spirits were now complete, and the Holy Grail War officially began?"

Wang Bai nodded and followed up on Fujimaru Ritsuka's words, saying, "That's right. It was your appearance that caused the Holy Grail War to be brought forward, resulting in the absence of a Heroic Spirit in this Holy Grail War."

"So this time, as the victor, I came to this region as a counterforce to correct this distorted history, thus allowing the Holy Grail War to restart ten years later."

Mash chimed in, "Therefore, I must enter the Lesser Grail as a Heroic Spirit to fulfill the conditions for victory in the Holy Grail War, thus allowing the Holy Grail War to enter the next decade."

It all fits together, everything fits together.

Why did this Holy Grail War start earlier than expected? Why do the records at Chaldea show that the first Holy Grail War was in 04?

Fujimaru Ritsuka finally understood the spacetime problem caused by this spiritual particle conversion: "Did our existence cause a spacetime distortion?"

Seeing that Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu had been fooled, and in order to prevent Chaldea's communications from being interfered with.

Wang Bai even used magic to completely isolate this place to prevent the Chaldeans from causing trouble.

A strange, faint seed, yet seemingly containing infinite possibilities, emerged.

This is the seed of the Imaginary Tree that underwent transformation after absorbing the Lesser Grail.

Wang Bai explained, "Don't worry, when the ritual is activated using this small Holy Grail, it can completely and without any damage guide Galahad's spirit origin out of Mashu's body, and..."

"I can also use its power of prayer to leave a seed of prayer in your body, through which you can still communicate with the power of Gaharad."

"I think you can all rest assured now."

Whether it's Mash's life or Chaldea's power as Heroic Spirits, Wang Bai has already provided a solution.

Ritsuka Fujiman had no reason to disagree.

Mashu looked at her senior and took a deep breath.

This plan is good, but it is entirely based on trust in the caster in front of you.

But now, what other choice do they have besides trusting the caster in front of them?

Given the opponent's strength, they could easily kill the two defeated soldiers on the spot, thus completing the extraction of Gahalad.

Despite being so cruel to Heroic Spirits like Gilgamesh, Mash had a strange feeling that this Caster seemed to have a special fondness for them.

Mashu looked at her senior, took a deep breath, placed her hand on her chest, and felt the calm and sublime power within her: "Senior—Lord Galahad—"

She seemed to be sensing the response within her body.

"I don't sense any explicit rejection—he trusts you, senior. Please decide. If—if doing this can truly help restore humanity and give us a chance to live up to the expectations of all life—"

Fujimaru Ritsuka stared at Wang Bai. There was no need for them to lie; killing them would be a piece of cake.

This plan, though absurd, became the only path to hope. He looked into Mash's resolute eyes and finally nodded heavily: "The plan can be discussed. But two things must be guaranteed: First, Mash's safety must be the absolute priority; there can be no mishaps. Second, throughout the entire process, it must be confirmed that Lord Galahad's will has not been coerced or distorted."

"A wise decision." Wang Bai nodded slightly, the Imaginary Tree seed in his hand emitting a steady, faint light.

The light from the Imaginary Tree seed entered Mashu's body, and Mashu subsequently fell into a deep sleep.

However, in Wang Bai's eyes, he could see a Heroic Spirit being continuously extracted into the Holy Grail.

Instead, another invisible seed of prayer resided within Mashu's body.

This seed of prayer replaced the Heroic Spirit and maintained Mash's body.

At the same time, it copied Gahalad's spirit origin, allowing Mash to still use Gahalad's power.

The only problem is that Mash can no longer talk to Gahalad.

The Gahalad inside the body is similar to a robot with a fixed dialogue pattern.

But in any case, the current outcome is already the best it can be.

"Mashu, she—"

"It's alright, don't worry. It's just a necessary procedure. You can have Chaldea test it if you don't believe me."

Fujimaru Ritsuka then realized that Chaldea was able to transmit its voice again at some point.

"Why did your communication suddenly drop?"

"What happened? I can't see anything!"

"Great, Fujimaru Ritsuka, I finally got in touch with you?"

"Huh? What's wrong with Mashu? The way her magical energy is radiating seems a bit strange, too stable?"

A continuous stream of messages came from Chaldea's communications.

Based on the data transmitted from Chaldea, Fujimaru Ritsuka confirmed that Wang Bai was not lying and had indeed guaranteed Mash's safety.

"I didn't expect you to be a good person, Caster?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly realized that he didn't know the other person's name.

"What's your name? Could we record your information?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's request made Wang Bai's eyes light up. He had been thinking about how to join Chaldea, and now he had the opportunity.

When Chaldea says these words, it means they want to form a bond with the other Servant, and after forming the bond, the Servant will appear in Chaldea's gacha pool.

If this were placed in the real-world Chaldea, it would probably be able to summon Wang Bai at any time.

But as long as Wang Bai has the information and coordinates of Chaldea, he can go to Chaldea at any time.

He could now sense that the Hall of Heroes on the outside of the world was constantly summoning the Imaginary Tree seed within him, or rather, the Heroic Spirits within the Lesser Grail.

When these Heroic Spirits open the holes leading to the outside world, it proves that Wang Bai can use the Holy Grail's immense magical power to fulfill his wishes, and he can also return to his original demi-human world through the power of the black particles.
