FATE: Target of Grand Master

The azure sea was eroded by black mud, turning into the murky Black Sea. As sea levels continue to rise, the Black Sea will eventually engulf the entire land.

Furthermore, due to Tiamat's power "Cellular Coercion," all creatures touched by her will turn into monsters like Lahem, and Servants will also be corrupted into "Tiamat's Children." Therefore, the only way to defeat Tiamat is through aerial combat.

However, even with Vimana, breaking through the Rahm Group, which had almost dyed the sky black, was no easy task.

"You...cannot...get...close...to...Mother..."

The Rahms all cried out, and then began to kill each other.

"What are they doing?" Lan Muyan asked, puzzled.

"They're merging!"

Feng Yan saw through the intentions of these Rahms. He saw that one out of every four Rahms pierced through the other three, and the three pierced Rahms were absorbed by the remaining one, and then merged into a Baal Rahm.

Although their numbers have been reduced to a quarter of their original size, the army of Balrahim is stronger than before.

"Who cares what they do? Just wipe them all out!"

Ishtar, who had come with them, was still furious. Before Xia Yan could give the order, he flew towards the army of Balrahim and began his attack.

Xia Yan finally understood the meaning of Gilgamesh's words, "Gods are troublesome, goddesses are more troublesome, and Ishtar is the most troublesome." However, they couldn't just stand by and watch Ishtar be surrounded. Since they were here to attack anyway, they might as well just start the attack.

"Ibuki, go and assist Ishtar in clearing out the airborne Rahm. Musashi and Cú Chulainn, you two will assist in the same way, riding in your pterosaurs."

"Quetzal, Jaguarman, Diarmuid, the three of you will each ride your pterosaurs to clear out Rahm. Blackbeard, Ginako, you will stay on Vimona for defense."

"Sōji, you stay on Vimana to protect everyone. Nobunaga, Robin Hood, each of you find a suitable angle to fire."

The three Masters simultaneously issued commands to their respective Servants.

"Xia Yan, why don't you assign me any tasks?"

Morgan didn't believe Xia Yan would forget him.

"Morgan, this will be a long battle. I'll trouble you to cast the spell that converts the true ether in the air into magic power to support the Servants on Vimana. Also, please store up some magic power yourself, as we'll need enough firepower to deal with Tiamat later."

"it is good."

Morgan summoned his cross wand and gently touched the bottom of the wand to Vimana. Instantly, several complex spells unfolded around Morgan, and all the Servants present felt strengthened, their bodies filled with inexhaustible energy.

"attack!"

As the three Masters simultaneously issued the attack command, the Servants on Vimana immediately sprang into action, and the sky was instantly ablaze with the flames of war.

Ibuki simultaneously manipulates the forces of wind and lightning to launch a wide-area attack on the Balrahim in the air.

Ranged attackers like Ishtar and Nobunaga unleashed a barrage of magical and physical projectiles upon the Barraham horde, while melee attackers like Quetzalcoatl, the Jaguarman, Cú Chulainn, Musashi, and Diarmuid skillfully weaved through the barrage, eliminating any Barraham that dared to approach.

Although each of the Barrahams possessed the strength of a demon beast leader, their opponents were either god-level Servants or powerful Servants that had been enhanced, and a large gap instantly appeared in the Barraham army.

"Looks like we'll have to do it."

Suddenly, several figures emerged from the Black Sea. They leaped continuously by stepping on the bodies of the Balrahim, and in the blink of an eye, they landed on the deck of Vimana.

clang!

As the strongest combatant remaining on Vimana besides Morgan who cast support spells, Souji took the lead and blocked one of the blades that was swung at Lan Muyan.

The other two figures also stopped in their tracks under the gunfire of Blackbeard, Nobunaga, and Robin Hood.

"Ushiwakamaru, Musashibo Benkei, and Ibaraki-dōji."

Xia Yan, Feng Yan, and Lan Muyan immediately recognized the three of them.

Unlike the original story where only Ushiwakamaru was assimilated by the black mud, the three Servants who appeared on the Vimana deck all had jet-black skin, indicating that all three were contaminated by the black mud.

It seems that Kingu had done quite a bit in this trial. Apart from the Servants who died in battle, Musashibo Benkei, who left alone, and Ibaraki-dōji, who secretly hid in the mountains, were both captured by Kingu and given to Tiamat.

Without dialogue or pleasantries, the two sides, in the instant of their confrontation, confirmed that the only way out was to eliminate each other.

Ushiwakamaru charged forward with his sword, once again engaging Okita Souji in battle. One was a renowned general, the other a genius samurai; the two swordsmen unleashed their skills and immediately clashed.

Bang bang bang!

Musashibo Benkei wanted to help Ushiwakamaru, but Oda Nobunaga stopped him.

"The monks who served alongside Minamoto no Yoshitsune, going to extremes is also a mistake."

"What do you know!"

Musashibo Benkei reacted strongly to Oda Nobunaga's words.

Musashibo Benkei always felt guilty towards Minamoto no Yoshitsune, also known as Ushiwakamaru.

On the one hand, he fled during the Battle of Korekawa and did not witness the end of Lord Minamoto no Yoshitsune, which was a complete disqualification for him as a retainer. On the other hand, after being summoned by King Gilgamesh, he once again witnessed Ushiwakamaru's sacrifice in the monster horde, while he himself once again fled Uruk.

Therefore, when he was captured by Kingu, he did not resist. When he discovered that Ushiwakamaru had also been captured by Kingu and his spirit origin had been corrupted, he calmly accepted the corruption.

He could not bear to abandon his lord again and again. Therefore, even if his lord turned into a vengeful ghost, he would go to hell with her this time.

Musashibo Benkei, wielding a long sword, quickly approached Oda Nobunaga.

boom!boom!

The bullet fired from the matchlock gun pierced Musashibo Benkei's spirit core, but it left two holes as if it had pierced through mud.

Immediately, black mud emerged and filled the two holes again.

"Nobunaga! Watch out!" Lan Muyan hurriedly warned.

Nobunaga then noticed Musashibo Benkei Reiki's unusual behavior and immediately retreated to create distance.

"Don't even think about running!"

Musashibo Benkei had arrived and, with a swift stroke of his long sword, severed one of Nobunaga's arms.

"Hmm!"

Despite the pain, Nobunaga retreated once more.

Musashibo Benkei, who had intended to give chase, drew a short sword and simultaneously drew his bow with both hands, blocking the attacks of Robin Hood and Blackbeard.

"Master, could this guy's Spirit Origin be...?!"

Nobunaga, who had retreated to Lan Muyan's side, guessed the answer.

"That's right, the spirit origins of all three of them have been corrupted. They are now no different from the Rahms, but their spirit origin level is even stronger than that of the Barrahams."

Lan Muyan looked at Morgan.

"Morgan, please treat Nobunaga."

"Healing isn't my forte, but I can restore her spirit core to its original state."

Morgan extended his left hand, which was not holding a staff, and aimed it at Nobunaga. Nobunaga's severed right arm immediately regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
