FATE: Target of Grand Master

After defeating the Dragon Tooth Soldiers, Drake arrived at Asterius's side, but he did not see Theseus and Euryale.

"Was it still too late?"

Drake placed his tricorn hat on Asterius's head as a sign of respect.

Drake then rushed back to Xia Yan's side without stopping, and fortunately, Xia Yan was not attacked.

At this moment, Cú Chulainn returned to Xia Yan's side. According to his description, halfway through the battle, Hector released a large group of Dragon Fang Soldiers and then fled.

After eliminating the Dragon Fang Soldiers, Cú Chulainn did not pursue them rashly, but rushed back to Xia Yan's side as soon as possible.

Seeing Xia Yan's furrowed brows and silence, neither Drake nor Cú Chulainn rushed to speak.

The thick fog around them began to dissipate, and the group was able to see their surroundings more clearly.

The Golden Deer suffered numerous casualties among its crew, and the ship itself sustained severe damage, inevitably affecting its speed. Catching up with the nearly invisible Argo was now impossible.

To their shock, a woman's corpse was floating on the sea. Her body and limbs had been dismembered beyond recognition, but her head was a stunningly beautiful woman's face.

While Drake was still wondering who this person was, Cú Chulainn exclaimed in surprise, "No way, how could this witch just die like that?"

The scene was so shocking that Cú Chulainn even forgot that Xia Yan was still beside him, and for a moment he didn't know what to say to make amends.

A moment later, Morgan's figure leaped out of the sea, raising a cloud of mist, accompanied by Hercules, who was tightly gripping her foot.

"That persistent guy."

Morgan said angrily to Hercules, who was also a Berserker but completely uncommunicative.

At this point, Hercules only had two lives left. In the previous battle with Morgan, Morgan used a top-tier replica of the Black Gun and a single genuine Rungomminiad to end Hercules' eleven lives, but that was the end of it.

Hercules' Noble Phantasm, The Twelve Trials, not only grants him twelve lives but also allows him to withstand attacks below Rank B. Furthermore, it has the effect of "making an attack that has been taken once ineffective the second time." It is an extremely troublesome opponent, except for exceptional individuals like Gilgamesh who possess countless Noble Phantasms.

Morgan could use even stronger offensive methods, but that would inevitably involve the entire surrounding area.

Xia Yan saw Morgan's predicament and hurriedly shouted to her, "Take Hercules to the island, and we'll attack him together."

Following Xia Yan's advice, Morgan tossed Hercules onto the beach at the edge of the island.

Xia Yan, Cú Chulainn, and Drake also rushed over.

Drake's pistol attack couldn't hurt Hercules, and the captain was still human at this moment and couldn't use his Noble Phantasm. Therefore, Cú Chulainn had to eliminate this penultimate life.

"Noble Phantasm! The Lance That Pierces Through Death!"

He specifically chose a Noble Phantasm with a rank of B+, and after Gaeberg was imbued with magic, it was projected onto Heracles by its master.

Unable to dodge due to Morgan's restraints, Hercules took a direct hit from Cú Chulainn's Noble Phantasm, losing another life and leaving him with only one.

This stumped Xia Yan.

He had already played all the cards in his hand that could harm Hercules, and his meager damage was insufficient to kill Hercules.

Seeing that Morgan was continuously suppressing Hercules with different magic, should Morgan be forced to use an attack of the level of a divine magic?

In that case, I would have to use the Gemstone Sword. If we are attacked by the enemy tomorrow, I will lose one of my trump cards.

Just as Xia Yan hesitated, a lively female voice entered his ears.

"Noble Phantasm! The Moon Goddess's Love Arrow!"

An arrow, as swift as a meteor, pierced Hercules' heart, releasing immense divine power that shattered his spirit foundation.

"Did you see that? Darling, my arrow killed that famous hero! Isn't that amazing?"

Xia Yan looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white-haired girl holding a golden mechanical bow and wearing an extremely revealing red leather outfit, floating in mid-air, excitedly talking to a teddy bear doll lying on a metal ring behind her.

"Yes, yes, Artemis, you are indeed very powerful."

The teddy bear did a perfunctory job, then muttered under its breath, "The thought that the greatest hero of Greek mythology died by Artemis's loving arrow gives me a comical and tragic feeling, like someone who has gone through hardships and is finally going back to his hometown to marry his childhood sweetheart, only to accidentally fall into a ditch by the roadside and drown."

"Honey, what are you muttering to yourself over there?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Alright, now that we've made a move, we should go and say hello to the human Master over there."

The teddy bear began to direct Artemis.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Artemis landed in front of Xia Yan, waving her hand and saying warmly, "Nice to meet you, I am Artemis, and this little bear plushie is my darling, Orion."

"Hey, human Master. Feel free to complain about my current appearance," Orion said helplessly.

Xia Yan was actually quite clear about Orion's spirit foundation.

In short, Artemis fell in love with Orion, but was worried about this fickle womanizer. So when Orion manifested, Artemis also manifested, and because she was a god, she took up most of Orion's spirit core, leaving only enough for Orion to make a small bear doll.

As for strength, it is greatly reduced. It has neither the strength of a god-level Servant nor the strength of Orion at his peak. It is a typical case of one plus one being less than one.

"Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you both. My name is Xia Yan. I know a little about your situation. All I can say is that if you had been a little more careful, you wouldn't be in this state now."

"Exactly, exactly. Darling, you already have me, yet you still go around flirting with other women. Xia Yan, you're absolutely right, I've decided to help you."

Artemis was very pleased and gave her the promise.

"Hey, Artemis, you're giving this away way too fast."

Orion avoided the core issue and instead complained.

Suddenly, Orion spotted Morgan back beside Xia Yan and immediately adopted a frivolous expression, feigning cuteness as he said, "Pretty lady over there, my name is Orion. As you can see, I'm a lonely but adorable toy bear. Could you hug me with your beautiful and warm hands?"

The Orion teddy bear was only halfway through its flight path towards Morgan when it was pierced by countless arrows and pinned to the ground.

"Darling, I'm still here. You seem to be getting more and more reckless lately."

Artemis wore a fake smile, but a vein bulged on one side of her forehead, showing signs of anger.
