FATE: Target of Grand Master

"The Grand Master of the Knights of the Round Table? Could we really be that unlucky as to have run into two overpowered individuals? Should we adjust our previous plan?"

The fourth Master was clearly starting to panic.

"Who cares who she is? We have no way out now. Let's stick to the original plan!"

The fifth Master is still trying to salvage the morale of the six-person alliance.

"That's right, let's just do it. Everyone listen up, once we start, immediately order the Servants to use their Noble Phantasms and amplify them with Command Spells."

Kirei Kotomine, who had quietly appeared at the elevator entrance without warning, gave the Masters no more time to discuss and announced, "The second round of the elimination tournament begins!"

As soon as he finished speaking, four of the six Masters in Group B ordered their eight Servants to use their Noble Phantasms on Morgan and immediately applied Command Seals.

Immediately, the red light of the eight Command Seals fell on the eight Servants one after another.

With Xia Yan's brief description and battle plan, Morgan did not hesitate. Holding the jeweled sword, he unleashed six giant spears emitting blue light towards the eight Servants.

Each giant spear unleashed immense magical power the moment it hit the ground, instantly blasting even the eight Servants empowered by Command Seals to annihilation in the arena, where there was virtually no room to hide.

Meanwhile, facing the remaining two Masters and their four Servants, Artoria Altera (Lancer) raised her black holy lance high, and a storm of dense magical energy formed around it.

"Noble Phantasm! The Spear That Shines at the End!"

Artoria Alter (Lancer) aimed her black holy lance at the four charging Servants, and a terrifying storm, like a natural disaster, instantly tore them apart, ravaged them, and crushed them.

Like Morgan's battle, the fight here ended almost instantly.

However, Artoria Altera (Lancer) still looked sullen. The reason was simple: Morgan had instantly killed eight Servants, while she had only managed to take down four. Clearly, those six blind fools thought Morgan was a greater threat than themselves.

"No...that's all?"

Everything happened too fast. The six Masters of Group B are still in shock from the reality that as many as twelve of their Servants were instantly wiped out.

"Hey, are you kidding me?! I must be dreaming! I must be dreaming! I must be dreaming!"

One of the Masters, unable to bear the outcome, crouched down, burying his face in his hands, and muttered to himself as he looked at the floor.

The other five Masters weren't much better off. Some stared dumbfounded at the giant spear and magical storm that hadn't completely dissipated in the arena, while others knelt on the ground, pounding their fists, unable to accept that their fate had come to an end.

The outcome is decided.

This was a fact that every Master present knew perfectly well; however, the battle in the arena was not yet over.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Almost at the same instant, Morgan and Artoria Alter (Lancer) once again engaged in a terrifying duel.

The dense barrage of black spears collided with several tornadoes, the force of which caused the entire arena to tremble.

"Morgan, stop! We've already won, there's no need to fight anymore."

The noise from the battle temporarily deafened all the Masters in the arena, and Xia Yan could only try to persuade Morgan through telepathy.

"Xia Yan, you saw it too, she clearly attacked first. Anyway, all the Group B Servants have been eliminated, so let's take this opportunity to finish her off as well, and then we won't have to compete in the final round."

Did Artoria Altera (Lancer) strike first?

I get the feeling that you two are kindred spirits and are launching attacks at the same time!

Xia Yan was internally cursing, but still patiently said, "Calm down, Morgan. It's not that I doubt your ability to defeat Artoria, but defeating her now won't benefit us at all."

Why?

"Based on my understanding of BB and the Candy Vine, since they've set up a final decisive round, they definitely have other tricks up their sleeves. Even if we defeat them here, we probably won't skip a round. Besides, continuing like this doesn't guarantee victory for us. Even if you defeat Artoria here, how much mana will you have left? Are you going to turn your victory into another life-or-death battle between Nero and Zenobi? Don't you care about my safety anymore?"

If Morgan could stubbornly refute the first two questions, then Xia Yan's last question was a direct and decisive blow.

Morgan couldn't possibly give an answer like "I don't care."

While Xia Yan was trying to persuade Morgan, Hu Xia was also communicating with Artoria Alter (Lancer).

"Artoria, do you intend to take this opportunity to eliminate Morgan as well?"

Why not?

"What are your chances of killing your opponent? I mean killing, not defeating."

Artoria Alter (Lancer) remained silent.

"Based on the current offensive posture of the two of you, you have a 50% chance of defeating Morgan, but less than a 10% chance of killing her. You're just being stubborn and defiant."

Artoria Alter (Lancer) fell silent again.

After much persuasion from their respective Masters, Morgan and Artoria Altera (Lancer) finally laid down their weapons.

At this point, the side of the arena closest to Xia Yan and Hu Xia was completely undamaged, and the residual magic in the air made it difficult to breathe.

Just as Xia Yan and Hu Xia breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly, two figures, using the black guns that had fallen to the ground in the previous battle as cover, drew their pistols and pulled the triggers at Xia Yan and Hu Xia's heads respectively.

boom!boom!

Clang! Clang!

Almost simultaneously, Nero and Zenobi each used their swords to deflect the attacker's bullets.

"It seems that since I haven't made a move, some people thought I didn't exist."

Without hesitation, Nero flashed to the side of the B-class Master who was trying to shoot Xia Yan and slit his throat with a single sword strike.

Zeno Bia didn't even say a word before the high-tech floating crossbow on his shoulder shot straight through the forehead of another B-group Master who was trying to assassinate Hu Xia.

"This round of the knockout stage has now concluded, with Group A emerging victorious."

Only then did Kirei Kotomine slowly walk to Xia Yan and Hu Xia's side and announce the results of this round of battle.

"The battle just now was spectacular. Personally, I really wish I could have watched it continue. However, due to pressure from my superiors, I still have to give you a warning. Tomorrow, you will have a chance to have a proper fight. But until then, don't cause any more trouble in the school building, otherwise, the Candy Vines will give you the punishment you don't want to see."
