FATE: Target of Grand Master

"Aside from spotting a few scattered magical beasts, nothing unusual was found."

Lan Muyan took off his military binoculars and reported to Xia Yan beside him.

It was nearing noon, and the two, aided by Morgan's flying magic, had arrived near the Temple of Blood.

"The quantity is less than we expected. Could there be some kind of trap?"

Based on the previous calculations by the two regarding the efficiency of the Gorgons' production of magical beasts, there should be more than this number of magical beasts defending the Blood Temple at this time.

"Perhaps Euryale's influence on him has not yet disappeared."

As Xia Yan spoke, he met Yuri Ellie's gaze.

Before setting off, Euryale took the initiative to find Xia Yan and expressed her determination to communicate with Gorgon again. Xia Yan could understand, after all, no one could stand by and watch their sister turn into a monster without doing anything.

"Let me just kick it open," Quetzal suggested.

Unlike the original work, this time Quetzal and Feng Yan signed a temporary contract. They are not bound by the "Three Goddess Alliance" and will not be tricked by Merlin. They can unleash their full combat power without reservation.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Yan decided to support Quetzal's seemingly reckless, but in fact very reckless, action.

But recklessness is not always wrong.

Judging from the current situation, both Uruk and Jingu are well aware of each other's next move. A sneak attack will not yield greater benefits than a frontal breakthrough. On the contrary, rather than secretly infiltrating the unknown terrain within the Blood Temple, it would be more efficient to have Quetzal blast open a gap and strike at the heart of the enemy.

"Yes, go ahead, blast a passage through which we can see the Gorgons."

"Leave it to me."

Quetzal leaped high into the air, his magic increasing in tandem with the rising altitude.

"Gorgon, don't blame me. Although I feel sorry for you, I have no choice but to do this so that the Masters can clear the game smoothly."

When it had risen to an altitude almost to leave the atmosphere, Quetzal's figure was finally no longer far from the ground.

"This body will transform into burning rock, into a comet that pierces the earth. Noble Phantasm! Ultimate Impact Flying Kick!"

Quetzal's figure began to fall, his entire being transforming into an ancient meteorite that had wiped out all life, carrying scorching flames and high-density magic as it plummeted toward the Temple of Blood.

With such power, even Morgan released a defensive spell in front of Xia Yan, Lan Muyan, and the group of Servants beforehand.

boom!

The entire earth trembled violently, as if the heavens and earth were about to collapse. Xia Yan and Lan Muyan were only able to maintain their balance with the help of their respective followers.

Meanwhile, even Gilgamesh, inside the Uruk temple, couldn't help but curse, "Why did they have to make such a fuss?" He then activated a spell, saving Uruk from a massive earthquake that could have completely destroyed it.

"As guests who have come to visit, your way of greeting us is far too impolite."

Kingu released the Chains of Heaven at the last moment before Quetzalcoatl's Noble Phantasm struck the Blood Temple, which reduced Quetzalcoatl's output to some extent. Even so, it still created a huge hole directly above the Blood Temple and caused the previously devastating effect.

"Sorry, our South American gods revere wildness."

Quetzal exerted force with both arms, and the taut Chains of Heaven creaked and groaned, showing signs of breaking at any moment.

"Tch, the main gods of South America are such a hassle."

Upon seeing this, Jingu immediately withdrew the Heavenly Lock.

"Don't take it away! I want to try and see if I can break that golden Gilgamesh's proud anti-god treasure."

Quetzal looked disappointed.

Kingu's face darkened, and without further ado, the two immediately engaged in combat.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xia Yan, Lan Muyan, and the others immediately entered the Blood Temple through the large hole blasted open.

Due to Quetzalcoatl's previous Noble Phantasm attack, the interior of the Blood Temple was already a mess, but the strong smell of blood and disgusting flesh and tissue had not yet been completely eliminated.

Although they were mentally prepared, Xia Yan and Lan Muyan still felt extremely uncomfortable after witnessing this scene.

Fortunately, both of them had gone through a lot of trials and tribulations, so they were able to suppress the discomfort.

"Waaah! Waaah!"

Crunch!Crunch!

As the two and their entourage ventured deeper, the sounds of an extremely distressed woman and the metallic clanging of taut chains continued to emanate from them.

Euryale immediately recognized the voice of the Gorgon and ran forward, with the others following behind.

The lingering smoke and dust from the depths of the temple were blown away, revealing Gorgon's figure, bound tightly by the Chains of Heaven, unable to move and suffering terribly.

Medusa.

Euryale floated slowly to the Gorgon's tormented head and asked with pity, "Do you still remember me?"

"Waaah! Waaah!"

Gorgon's eyes were glazed over, as if he had lost not only his memory but also his language abilities.

Suddenly, two arrows shot towards Euryale from the left and right.

Ding!Ding!

Cú Chulainn Alter and Musashi struck down the arrow aimed at Euryale with a spear and a sword.

"Come forth, Typhon Ephemeros."

Xia Yan and Lan Muyan began to act separately according to the plan. Xia Yan would hold off the enemy head-on, while Lan Muyan would search for Typhon's location.

"As expected of a Master who can control that fairy, he has even seen through my true name."

Typhon no longer concealed himself and appeared before Xia Yan, accompanied by a large army of Shadow Followers.

"There are quite a few of them, but these small fry are no match for my Servants. I'll give you a chance; release Nero willingly, and maybe we can even cooperate."

"Hahaha. Even now, you still think there's a possibility of cooperation between us. Should I say you're too naive or that you think I'm a fool?"

Typhon didn't believe that even after he had kidnapped Nero, Nero's Master would be so kind as to reconcile with him.

"I understand your needs and I know your system, so I can grant your wish."

Xia Yan's words caused Typhon to waver for a moment, but she immediately retorted, "Don't get too cocky, human. You don't understand anything at all. Besides, you don't actually think I'll treat your Saber to good food and drink after kidnapping her, do you? No, in a way, I did treat her to food and drink."

Seeing Typhon's wicked grin, Xia Yan frowned and asked, "What did you do to Nero?"

Typhon shrugged: "It's nothing, I just found that she got along really well with this mud, so I gave her some to drink."

"I see."

Xia Yan's face instantly darkened.

"Then we have nothing to talk about. Morgan, make your move!"

"Wait a minute, don't you care where I hid Nero?"

Typhon clearly hadn't expected Xia Yan to change his attitude so quickly.

"I'll ask you after I've beaten you half to death."

In the few seconds that Typhon and Xia Yan had their last conversation, Morgan had already unleashed magma, instantly annihilating the army of shadow followers made of black mud.

Typhon was also present, but this was, after all, the other side's home turf, and Xia Yan did not think she would be eliminated so easily.

"Morgan, go find Typhon's main body. We'll handle Gorgon's situation."

After directing Morgan to leave, Xia Yan looked up at Euryale, who was still talking to the Gorgons, and his expression instantly froze.

Gorgon's chaotic eyes suddenly flashed with a strange light, a sign that the Petrifying Demon Eye was about to be activated.
