FATE: Target of Grand Master

"Merry."

Still lost in her own fantasies, Meili snapped out of her reverie when Xia Yan called her name.

"Um?"

"Why must you Merlins stir up the feud between Artoria and Morgan? Although my Morgan is not the Morgan of Pan-Human History, she still has memories of Pan-Human History. If possible, I hope you can apologize to her on behalf of Merlins. I know this is all in the past, but if past mistakes are not faced squarely, they will only continue, and the feud caused by those mistakes will never be resolved."

Seeing Xia Yan's extremely serious expression, Mei Li shook her head helplessly.

"Xia Yan, some things are beyond our control. The decline of the Age of Gods, the destruction of Britain, the fate of Arthur or Artoria were all predetermined, which led to Morgan's fate being predetermined as well. This is destiny. From an individual perspective, destiny is unpredictable, but from the perspective of humanity as a whole, destiny is predetermined."

"So, you're saying that everything you've done is for the sake of the human race as a whole?"

"No, I'm not that noble or great. I just want to say that even without me, the hand of fate would have turned Artoria and Morgan against each other in another way. The ending is predetermined; it's just that the process is different."

Xia Yan remained silent for a moment.

"What you say may indeed be true, but at least in the world as I know it, you played a part in Morgan's downfall. I'm not trying to force you, I just want to confirm your thoughts. Even so, you don't think you should apologize, do you?"

This time it was Mary's turn to remain silent.

Perhaps it was because of the fundamental difference in values ​​between humans and dream demons, or perhaps because Meryl truly didn't think she had done anything wrong, in any case, after a long silence, Xia Yan drank the last sip of red tea and then stood up.

"I understand. I've eaten what I needed to eat and said what I needed to say. Can you let me go back now?"

For some reason, Xia Yan felt a nameless fire burning in his heart when he saw Mei Li's silent appearance.

"Wait a moment."

Mei called out to Xia Yan.

"I made all these cakes myself, and I brewed the black tea myself. Don't you have anything to say?"

"The food was delicious, thank you for your hospitality."

The cake and black tea were indeed incredibly delicious. Xia Yan could even say that it was the best afternoon tea he had ever had in his life. Even though it was in a dream, the taste was exactly the same as in reality.

"Then...would you like to try something even more delicious?"

Meili flashed in front of Xia Yan and tackled him to the ground. Xia Yan, who thought he would fall on the cold ground, felt a soft and elastic touch.

Meili conjured a bed out of thin air, and at this moment, Meili was sitting on Xia Yan's waist and abdomen.

"Merry, what are you doing?"

Xia Yan's hands and feet were bound by the four corners of the bed sheet, which seemed to have come to life.

"Of course I'll treat you to a good meal. You're my only guest in Avalon today, so I'll naturally do my best to be a good host and treat you well in every way."

"You've done a great job, now let me go!"

Xia Yan's struggles were futile.

"Don't you humans have three basic desires? The desire for food, the desire for sleep, and the desire for sex. I just satisfied your first one, and you're dreaming right now, so that also satisfies your second one. But the third one hasn't been satisfied yet."

Meili struck an incredibly alluring pose, her fingers beginning to trace patterns up and down Xia Yan's body.

Xia Yan's breathing became increasingly heavy under Mei Li's movements.

No, something's not right.

"Merry, you really did put poison in the food!"

Faced with Xia Yan's accusations, Mei Li simply smiled faintly.

"I didn't tamper with the food at all. Do you feel like your senses have been amplified? That's because this is Avalon. To give you the ultimate experience, I've enveloped the entire Avalon with a sensory enhancement technique. Whether it's fear, satiety, sadness, anger, or sexual desire, it's several times stronger than in the outside world."

Xia Yan then realized that his emotions had indeed been amplified after arriving in Avalon, and that Meryl's seemingly illogical actions of pushing him to jump off the tower, giving him food, and chatting with him were all aimed at constantly amplifying his senses until this final step.

Everything was for this step.

As for why? Xia Yan knew without asking.

It was all to spite Morgan, to satisfy the desires of a pleasure-seeker.

Xia Yan was so certain because Meryl was unlike any of the female Servants who had ever liked him. Xia Yan did not sense a single trace of genuine emotion from her. This woman was full of pretense, and everything she did was just to satisfy her own desires.

"Merry, Morgan won't let you get away with this!"

Now that things have come to this, the only way to stop Meryl is to bring up Morgan.

"Morgan, she is indeed terrifying, but that would only be possible if Morgan knew about it. This is a dream, a place only beings with the ability to invade dreams, like us dream demons, can enter. Morgan is powerful, but she can't get in. Afterwards, I will blur your memories of this place, preserving your feelings while ensuring you don't remember who the person was. Anyway, this is a dream; don't you humans often forget many details of your dreams after waking up?"

"If that's the case, Morgan will never know that your goal of provoking Morgan is unattainable."

While Xia Yan was still trying to persuade Mei Li, Mei Li's actions did not stop at all. Xia Yan's whole body was burning hot, and the dam of his rationality was about to collapse.

"So, once you leave this trial, the spell I cast will stop working because I'm not around, and you'll remember everything. At that point, whether you choose to keep it a secret or tell Morgan, I think it will be quite interesting. Hehe."

A sickly blush spread across Mary's face, revealing her most despicable side.

"Xia Yan, you're not at a disadvantage at all. I'm super confident in both my looks and skills. I'll make you experience the ultimate pleasure."

Meili gently pressed her body against Xia Yan, enjoying a morbid sense of satisfaction while properly entertaining him.

Click!

boom!

Just then, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky above Avalon. Then, the sky shattered like glass, and a figure flew out from it, instantly arriving beside Xia Yan and kicking Meryl away.

"it hurts!"

Before she could even process what was happening, Mary rubbed her side and found herself trapped inside a cage made of more than ten black guns.

"Morgan! What are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be unable to enter the dream world?"

The figure she had just seen was Morgan, who was holding a cross wand. Her face was contorted with rage. She never expected that someone would try to force themselves on her husband.

Tolerable or unbearable!

What's more, this person is Merlin (Meryl is also Merlin), so he deserves a death sentence for eight lifetimes! Execute him immediately!
