FATE: Target of Grand Master

Xia Yan called out to Morgan in his mind, but there was still no response.

It seems I really have to rely on myself now.

"Draw your weapons and prepare for battle!"

Xia Yan drew the sword he had borrowed from the rebels for self-defense and cautiously looked at the sea demon in front of him.

Hu Qiu also drew his sword like Xia Yan, but his trembling hands couldn't even hold the sword properly.

Xia Yan glanced at him and then gave up hope on Hu Qiu.

The sea demon didn't give the two any more time to prepare, and directly sprayed a pool of thick liquid at Xia Yan.

Thanks to Morgan's previous Spartan training, Xia Yan nimbly dodged the attack and then swung his sword at the sea demon.

The sea demon naturally wouldn't let Xia Yan hit it so easily. A tentacle quickly wrapped around Xia Yan's leg, throwing him and his sword away.

Xia Yan felt a burning sensation on his back as he was slammed against the wall, and his whole body felt like it was about to fall apart.

These things that seem like simple slicing of vegetables to the Servants actually possess such great power.

Before Xia Yan could even get up, he heard Hu Qiu shout from the side, "Brother Xia Yan, help!"

Xia Yan turned his head and saw that Hu Qiu's limbs had been firmly bound by the sea demon, and the sword in his hand had long since fallen to the ground.

If you replaced Hu Qiu with a beautiful girl, the rest of the content could be released as a late-night paid content.

However, the sea monster was clearly not interested in toying with the old man. It held Hu Qiu upside down in mid-air, ready to devour him with its upward-pointing mouth.

Looking at the mouth filled with sharp, dense teeth and emitting a foul stench, Hu Qiu was so frightened he almost wet his pants.

"Uncle, there's nothing else I can do to help you, but I can help reduce your fear."

After saying that, Xia Yan turned off the light sphere he had summoned, and the basement was immediately swallowed up by darkness again.

"Brother Xia Yan, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

Although Xia Yan's vision was also obscured by the darkness, Hu Qiu's shouts still gave him guidance.

Xia Yan silently counted the steps in his mind, bent down and walked to the side of the sea demon, and stabbed at the sea demon's body.

"Arrrr!"

The sea monster let out a miserable scream.

It worked!

Xia Yan immediately drew his sword and stabbed the sea demon several more times until it fell silent. Then he used a light magic spell to restore light to the basement.

The sea monster was now limp and lifeless on the ground. Hu Qiu, who had been entangled by tentacles, was now wildly slashing at the sea monster with his sword, and several severed tentacles fell to the ground.

Xia Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, saying nothing, but the pain in his back made him unconsciously squat down.

"Brother Xia Yan, how are you?"

Hu Qiu knew that Xia Yan had not abandoned him, so he naturally became concerned about Xia Yan's injuries.

Xia Yan took out a plastic bottle and said to Hu Qiu, "Spray this on the wound on my back."

Hu Qiu immediately did as instructed, and the wounds sprayed with the liquid from the plastic bottle healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Brother Xia Yan, what is this? The effect is truly amazing."

This was naturally the healing magic spray that Xia Yan had obtained by spending 1 point.

"The Repair Magic Spray that can be redeemed in the BB Shop costs only 1 point and can be used 3 times. It is very effective for external injuries other than fatal ones."

Xia Yan didn't hide the information about the spray. Something that was openly displayed in a store had no value in keeping secret. On the contrary, he could use it to do himself a favor.

"Your leg is injured too, right? Don't be shy, just use it. We still need to move on in a bit, and it must be inconvenient for you with an injury."

Hu Qiu didn't refuse. After thanking them, he sprayed some water on his legs, which were entangled by the sea demon's tentacles.

After both of them had recovered from their injuries, Xia Yan picked up his sword and prepared to explore the outside world with Hu Qiu.

Clang!

Xia Yan gestured for Hu Qiu to be quiet, then listened intently to the sounds coming from the dark corridor.

Clang!

It seems this wasn't an illusion; the sound of metal clanging came from the front of the corridor.

Hu Qiu had obviously heard him too. He looked at Xia Yan and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xia Yan, should we go over and take a look?"

Thinking that whether he sticks his neck out or not, he'll still get stabbed, Xia Yan steeled his heart and said, "Let's go take a look."

The two walked slowly down the corridor, the clanging and jingling sounds growing louder and louder, accompanied by shouts from human soldiers.

They are human soldiers of the resistance!

It seems that they weren't the only two who were teleported here.

Xia Yan and Hu Qiu quickened their pace and soon saw the marshal leading half of the soldiers in a battle against the sea demons.

The number of sea monsters was small, but because the soldiers could only use torches for lighting, they could not see very far in the dark, making them vulnerable to sneak attacks from the sea monsters.

Xia Yan immediately threw the light orb in his hand into the air, and then summoned two more light orbs in one go. The illumination from the three light orbs in total was enough for the soldiers to see the surrounding enemies clearly.

"Warriors, the Lord is still protecting us. Join me in slaying these monsters."

Jill rallied the troops at the opportune moment, and they quickly wiped out the sea monsters from the area.

"Thank you so much for earlier."

Jill told the soldiers to rest for a while and then went to Xia Yan and Hu Qiu to thank them.

"That's all the help we can offer right now."

Before setting off, Xia Yan had informed Jeanne and Gilles about the situation of the three Masters in person, so Gilles also knew that Xia Yan and Hu Qiu were currently unable to serve as combat forces.

"We've gotten separated from Joan of Arc and are trying to reunite with her. Would you two like to come along?" Gilles asked very politely.

"Of course. The enemy has scattered us to defeat us one by one, so we should stick together even more."

Jill wholeheartedly agreed with Xia Yan's point of view. Since everyone had decided to act together, Jill did not waste any more time and immediately called on the soldiers to advance.

After following the rebels uphill for a while, Jill suddenly stopped the troops from advancing.

A man in a robe who looked very much like Jill, but with bulging eyes and holding a strange grimoire, appeared before the crowd.

"Hehehe, welcome to my workshop. The great Joan of Arc is currently undergoing a crucial summoning ritual and is unable to receive guests at the moment, so I, Gilles de Rais, will be in charge of entertaining you all."

The soldiers immediately started discussing among themselves.

"How come this person has the exact same name as our leader?"

"It's not just their names; if you look closely, the two also have many similarities in appearance."

"Don't be fooled by the enemy!"

Marshal Jian loudly silenced the whispers and continued, "The enemy is a cunning scoundrel who can even imitate Joan of Arc, so it's not surprising that they can imitate my appearance. Raise the swords you speak of and fight alongside me."

Marshal Jian was the first to rush forward.

Marshal Shu opened the teachings of Luoyan City, and countless sea demons immediately appeared around them.

"So it was you who summoned these monsters."
