FATE: Target of Grand Master

Izang made the first move, instantly appearing in front of Musashi, his blade aimed straight at Musashi's chest.

Such an attack posed no challenge to Musashi, who had gone all out from the start and activated the Zero Realm and the Heavenly Eye. As a result, Musashi easily deflected the attack.

"Haaah—!"

Frankenstein's attacks followed one after another.

At Zhang Hao's telepathic request, Frankenstein remained hidden behind Musashi until Musashi's attack was blocked, at which point he revealed his electric hammer and swung it toward Musashi's side.

Musashi withdrew his attack to counter Izo, held his twin swords parallel to the ground in front of the giant hammer, and took a step to the side with his right leg to block the attack.

"I've already seen all of these attacks."

Musashi flicked his wrist, and his right-hand longsword bypassed the hammer head, aiming to strike Frankenstein along the hammer handle.

Pfft!

The blade sliced ​​through Frankenstein's shoulder, and blood gushed out.

Just as Musashi was about to draw his sword, Frankenstein surprisingly abandoned his grip on the hammer and pressed his hands firmly against the blade.

At the same time, Musashi sensed an aura of near death and instinctively bent over and lowered his head.

Suddenly, a blade appeared in the crowd, grazing Musashi's hair. If Musashi hadn't dodged, the blade would have sliced ​​through his neck.

Both Izo's earlier attack and Frankenstein's knife strike were designed to create an opportunity for Ushiwakamaru, who had been lurking in the crowd.

Ushiwakamaru, wielding the blade, thought his timing was precise enough, but he didn't expect Musashi to be able to dodge it.

This plan was designed by Ushiwakamaru in advance before the war began.

After witnessing Izou and Frankenstein's defeat against Musashi, Ushiwakamaru pondered whether he could defeat the opponent if he joined the fight. He concluded that in a direct confrontation, at least one of the three of them would have to sacrifice to defeat Musashi. However, the cost of sacrificing a Servant would be enormous for any Master. Therefore, in order to defeat Musashi more reliably, Ushiwakamaru devised a strategy of sneak attack.

However, Ushiwakamaru did not expect that even after going to such lengths, he still could not kill Musashi.

"It's not over yet!"

Ushiwakamaru was surprised to find that Izo had appeared behind Musashi without his knowledge.

"Don't forget, I'm an Assassin. Noble Phantasm! The Finishing Sword!"

Turning his head to see the blade coming at him, Musashi could only use the short sword in his left hand to defend himself.

clang!

"As expected of the renowned Miyamoto Musashi, even as a woman, she was able to block my first strike under these circumstances."

Even someone as unruly as Miyamoto Musashi felt admiration for the man before him at this moment.

"However, my Noble Phantasm still has one more strike."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Musashi saw another blade slashing straight at her face, and she had no way to dodge or defend herself.

While Musashi was fighting three opponents, Xia Yan's other Servant was also busy.

Before Morgan, who was maintaining the transparent barrier, appeared two of Zhang Hao's and Thrall's followers—Medusa and Nezha.

One is a Gorgon from Greek mythology, and the other is a divine ruler from Chinese mythology; neither of them should be underestimated.

Without any unnecessary words, Medusa and Nezha went all out from the very beginning.

Medusa flung out two short stakes with chains, which then sandwiched Morgan from the front and back.

"You think you can touch me with an attack of this magnitude?"

Morgan didn't even move. The two black spears pierced the first hole in the chain behind the short stakes with perfect precision, instantly driving the two short stakes into the ground.

"So, how about this move?"

Nezha spat out several fireballs the size of his head.

Morgan continued to dismissively throw out the same number of water balls, but in larger quantities.

laugh--!

When water and fire clashed, a large amount of water vapor was immediately generated in the air.

"Reduce visibility, then launch a surprise attack."

Morgan turned to look at Medusa, who emerged from the white mist behind her. Despite being unarmed, Medusa's punch, aided by Super Strength B, was no less powerful than a head-on collision with a high-speed train.

Boom!

Medusa's fist slammed into the wall made of more than a dozen black spears.

The wall shattered and his fist broke, but Morgan didn't budge an inch.

"Noble Phantasm! Earth-Flying Flaming Spear!"

Nezha activated his treasure directly, riding on his Wind and Fire Wheels, his whole body brimming with magic and flames, and charged straight at Morgan.

Morgan immediately recognized the power of Nezha's A-rank Noble Phantasm; this time, magic would be the only way to defend against it.

Just as Morgan was about to activate his magic, he suddenly felt his body freeze.

This feeling is... petrification!

Medusa stood five meters behind Morgan and removed her Noble Phantasm, "Self-Sealing Dark Temple," which was the eye patch on her face.

Without the eyepatch that could seal the Demon Eye, Medusa immediately used the "Petrifying Demon Eye" on Morgan.

Medusa's Eye of Enchantment is of gem quality, and with the added bonus of mystery, it can directly petrify enemies with magic resistance of C or lower, and grant immunity to enemies with magic resistance of B, with a chance to petrify them. Unfortunately, Morgan's magic resistance is A-level, which is not a level that can be petrified by Medusa, but the feeling of "pressure" still occurs.

Medusa was aware of this as well.

She and Nezha never intended to kill Morgan directly; their goal was simply to hold Morgan back and prevent her from providing support to Musashi.

Morgan's movements and magical energy became sluggish. While maintaining a large-scale transparent shield, the speed at which she used magic seemed to be unable to keep up with the speed at which she was defending against Nezha's treasure.

Nezha was confident in his treasure; even if he couldn't kill Morgan directly, he could severely injure him and greatly reduce his combat power.

As long as one is hit by their own Noble Phantasm, their Master has a chance to continue to live!

"Great Sun King, it seems our feint attack has been seen through by the Lion King."

Nitocris was standing on Osmandis's Noble Phantasm "The Sun Ship of the Night" and speaking to Osmandis, who was sitting on the throne.

Seeing that his Sphinx Legion had not encountered any enemies, clearly being completely ignored by Camelot, even Osmandis, who always liked to laugh to ease the embarrassment, felt that he had lost face.

"Tactics are all about feints and real attacks, a combination of both. Since the Lion King thinks our attack is a diversion, then we'll make it the main attack and catch them off guard!"

Osmandis tapped his scepter, and the speed of the solar boat began to increase, with more than a dozen sphinxes following closely behind.

When Osmandis on the solar ship could clearly see the Lion King on the walls of Camelot, the Sun King pointed his scepter forward, and a powerful and dazzling magic began to gather at the front of the solar ship.

A powerful magical beam of light, manifested from the power of the sun and named "The Serpent of Godslaying," shot towards Camelot, where the Lion King was located. Its power was such that it could not only burn the enemy to ashes, but it would not be an exaggeration to say that it could burn the entire earth to ashes.

Such a significant action would naturally not be overlooked by the Lion King.

Raising the holy spear Rungomminiad, a massive wall of light appeared outside the city walls on the side of Camelot.

boom!

The light cannon collided with the light barrier, unleashing an extremely dazzling light and a deafening sound.

Both sides are continuously emitting magic, just like two wealthy people at a gambling table constantly throwing away chips.

"An attack of this magnitude is insufficient to break through the Wall of Light."

As if to prove the king's judgment, the power of the light cannon began to show signs of decline, while the wall of light, although shaking violently, remained undamaged.

"I have more than one way to attack. Hot Sand Sphinx!"

A sphinx as large as the night sky flew out from the Sphinx Legion; it was the king of the Sphinx Legion—the Starry Sky Sphinx.

The Sphinx King, whose face was adorned with a crown identical to that of the Pharaoh, also unleashed a beam of magical energy.

Although this beam of light was not as powerful as the one previously fired by the solar ship, it was enough to influence the outcome of the solar ship's beam of light and the Camelot Wall of Light.

Click!

Cracks began to appear on the Wall of Light, causing even the usually expressionless Lion King to furrow his brow slightly.

"How about it, Lion King? How about trying to enhance the magic of the Wall of Light? Ah, I just remembered, you've only activated 'Holy Extermination' once, and you haven't collected enough human specimens yet, have you? If you open the Tower of the End now, you won't be able to achieve your goal of preserving humanity. But if you don't open the Tower of the End, the magic of this Wall of Light will be all the magic you can use for defense. So, let me see what you choose?"
