FATE: Target of Grand Master

Chester turned his head and looked at the scene in disbelief. Then he saw Musashi and Nightingale retreat to Euryale's side, and behind them stood an identical Xia Yan.

What's going on?

A doll? A clone?

Chester's thoughts were completely in disarray.

He had no idea that this fake Xia Yan was a thought form specially created by Morgan for Xia Yan. However, perhaps due to the limitations of the laws, Xia Yan could only have one thought form at most.

"Master, let me take you to a safe place first."

Beowulf pulled Chester toward the Eastern Army.

Edison and Helena also witnessed this scene.

"Hey! Chester, I trusted you so much, I even promised you the vice presidency, and you betrayed me!"

Xia Yan's conversation with Chester had already been transmitted to Edison, Helena, and Arjuna using a spell.

Chester remained unmoved by Edison's accusations, and even now, he has not recovered from the immense loss of a follower.

"Master, pull yourself together, or you'll lose even more."

At Beowulf's prompting, Chester forced himself to suppress his grief and said, "Put me down. I'm going to get my money back."

"Master..."

Beowulf instinctively sensed something was wrong, but Chester interrupted him.

"Even with our addition, the Eastern Army still holds the advantage. I will make Xia Yan pay the price."

Seeing that Chester was determined, Beowulf stopped trying to persuade him and instead fulfilled his duty as a follower.

Back on the battlefield, realizing he hadn't truly killed Xia Yan, the Mad King Cú Chulainn charged at Xia Yan again, and Musashi stepped in front of him without hesitation.

Edison and Helena wanted to help Musashi, but were thwarted by a bomb thrown by Mephisto.

At the same time, Li Shuwen and Beowulf rushed over and surrounded Xia Yan's group.

Even after eliminating another Servant, the Western Army remained at a disadvantage.

Just as Chester was expecting Xia Yan's Servants to be dealt with one by one, Xia Yan raised his right hand and pointed at Mephisto.

Immediately afterwards, a loud "bang" rang out, and Mephisto's chest was pierced by the magic bullet, sending him flying backward.

Without a doubt, this was a fatal sniper shot, and Mephisto's spirit core was precisely shattered.

Chester immediately realized who had launched the attack.

Lan Muyan!

But shouldn't he be on the southern front?

How did you end up here?

Chester suddenly realized that the information Xia Yan had given him was false, and that the two of them had been in cahoots all along!

Damn!

Chester's heart was filled with rage, and he no longer felt any sadness at Mephisto's death.

He ran desperately to the city gate of Chicago and shouted to Li Zhuang, who stood there with his hands behind his back, "Li Zhuang, the two Masters on the other side are here!"

"I know."

Li Zhuang merely glanced at Chester before turning his attention back to the battlefield.

Chester was furious at Li Zhuang's arrogant attitude. He was the one who had contributed the most in this trial, yet this arrogant guy looked at him like trash.

But now that things have come to this, he has no room for maneuver and can only do his best to eliminate the Western Army.

Although Li Zhuang was arrogant, he was not stupid. He also saw that Lan Muyan's two followers, Okita Souji and Robin Hood, had joined the battle.

The Servants on the battlefield are currently engaged in a chaotic melee. In order to regain the advantage as soon as possible, Li Zhuang activated the Command Spell.

"I command you with a Command Spell! Minamoto no Tameaki, use your Noble Phantasm to bombard the area with the most Servants!"

Chester was startled; Li Zhuang's servants were still there, and Chester's only remaining servant, Beowulf, was also there.

Chester quickly relayed the message to Beowulf via telepathy.

After using the Command Spell, Li Zhuang mentally instructed Li Shuwen and Zhang Jiao: "Zhang Jiao, go and restrain Arjuna, don't let him interfere with Minamoto no Tameaki. Li Shuwen, you also need to leave a bit."

"Command confirmed!"

Minamoto no Tameaki received his Master's command, and as his Spirit Origin was enveloped in the red light of the Command Seals, his magical power began to rise rapidly.

"Noble Phantasm activated! Mad Moon Convergence - Form Change. Moon Chant Style Rotating Cannon, Boom Sink - Bow-Bound Moon. Countdown begins, three, two, one... Launch!"

The sky suddenly darkened, and the moon in the sky poured its magical moonlight down on Minamoto no Tameaki's body. Minamoto no Tameaki's blue and white armor changed to black and red, and the sharp corners on the armor became more prominent, making the style more imposing.

Yuan Weichao raised the giant bow, which had also transformed into a black and red one. As the countdown ended, the arrow that Yuan Weichao fired contained immense magical power capable of leveling the entire battlefield.

The Servants belonging to the Eastern Army retreated one after another, and even the Berserker King Cú Chulainn stopped his attack to avoid the brunt of the attack. On the Western Army's side, by the time the Servants realized the danger, it was too late to escape.

Neither Xia Yan's Musashi and Euryale, nor Lan Muyan's Okita Souji, Robin Hood, nor the NPC servants Edison, Helena, and Nightingale, possessed the ability to defend against this attack, which was comparable to a nuclear bomb.

Finished!

Lan Muyan stared at the terrifying black and red magic power, and only these two words remained in his mind, but Xia Yan remained fearless.

It's time to reveal our hand!

Morgan!

Xia Yan called out Morgan's name in his heart.

Instantly, a magic circle rapidly unfolded centered on Xia Yan's feet, enveloping all the soldiers of the Western Army. Then, as if to firmly nail the magic circle to the ground, twelve black spears fell from the sky and stood at the edge of the magic circle.

boom!

The black and red magic was blocked by a transparent shield after entering the magic circle area, like water encountering a rock, spreading out along the hemispherical surface of the shield.

Lan Muyan, who had thought he was going to die, felt relieved, but he still found it unbelievable when he looked at the transparent protective shield.

Who in the Western Army can defend against Minamoto no Tameaki's Noble Phantasm attack using defensive techniques?

Could it be Helena?

Lan Muyan looked at Helena and found that she was also staring blankly at the protective shield.

"Xia Yan, you've finally decided to use me."

A girl with long silver hair, dressed in gorgeous black, white and blue clothes, and holding a cross-shaped magic wand appeared beside Xia Yan.

Lan Muyan's pupils dilated. This was Morgan!

Moreover, judging from her tone, she is actually Xia Yan's follower!

How is that possible?

Xia Yan actually has four followers!

Sensing that Morgan seemed a little unhappy, Xia Yan quickly began to flatter him.

"You have to save your trump card for the most crucial moment."

"Oh? You really didn't do this to get rid of me so you could enjoy an extended massage?"

Xia Yan was immediately drenched in sweat. He looked at Musashi beside him and saw that Musashi was pouting and whistling, pretending that he hadn't heard anything.

Explanations are useless in this situation; the best approach is to change the subject.

Click!

A crack appeared in the transparent protective shield, which made the Western Army soldiers inside the shield nervous.

"Morgan, do you have enough magic? Should I use a Command Spell to help you...?"

A golden opportunity presented itself, and Xia Yan hurriedly inquired about Morgan's condition. However, Morgan calmly took out the gem sword, drew away some of its magic power, and the cracks in the protective shield disappeared.

"Don't try to change the subject. Answer me honestly, are you trying to get rid of me?"
