FATE: Target of Grand Master

The following day, Xia Yan and the other two gathered again.

Xia Yan, as the leader of the three, was in relatively good condition, but he almost didn't wake up after being soothed to sleep by Tiamat's EX-level hypnotic effect.

Although Linghu Shi had a nightmare, she managed to get a good night's sleep thanks to the comfort of her male model troupe of followers.

Only Tianye and Cai looked somewhat haggard, still feeling uneasy. But there was no more time for her to process her negative emotions; the three of them had to conquer the Great God Tower today.

After having breakfast prepared by Tiamat, Xia Yan and his two companions, along with their Servants and Enkidu, arrived at the entrance of the Great God Tower.

By this time, the fully equipped Babylonian army had been waiting for them for quite some time.

Since arriving at this trial, Xia Yan has been constantly thinking of Morgan, not only because of Morgan's powerful combat strength and beautiful appearance, but also because none of the three of them can find a magician among their followers who can release invisibility or aura concealment effects, so that they can silently infiltrate the Great God Tower.

If Morgan were here, there would be no need to waste time and magic on these Babylonian soldiers. But reality is that there are no "ifs". Xia Yan and his two companions could only charge in head-on without any strategy.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

"Noble Phantasm! Sword of Eternal Victory!"

With Tiamat and Richard's Noble Phantasms clearing the way, Xia Yan and his group finally managed to enter the Great God Tower after some effort.

Upon entering the Great God Tower, Xia Yan and the others saw a large number of richly dressed people lying sprawled on the ground. Their faces were joyful yet deathly pale, as if their life force had been drained away at the height of the banquet.

Even Tiamat frowned upon seeing this scene.

"Little one, this is the work of that beast. She's not just satisfied with absorbing the city's concept of 'corruption,' she's even sucking away the magic of the corrupted."

"Hmph. You saw right through me? As expected of a remnant of the goddess Tiamat, you are indeed a creature to be wary of."

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw Nebuchadnezzar II sitting on the throne at the highest point of the Great Tower, with four attendants below him: Saber Suzuka Gozen, Lancer Elizabeth, Berserker Salome, and Assassin Hassan.

However, unlike the three female Servants who stood below Nebuchadnezzar II, Hassan of Cursed Arms had his arms tightly bound and suspended by chains extending from the pillars on both sides of the hall, and his body was in a kneeling position, like a prisoner being interrogated.

The numerous wounds on his body and the various magical artifacts still stuck in the ground also prove that he had been severely tortured by Nebuchadnezzar II.

Xia Yan was somewhat puzzled. In the original work, Hassan with the Cursed Arm did not appear in this singularity. However, the world of the trial always has many things that do not conform to the original work. Perhaps this is the combat power that this world has added to make up for the lack of Tamamo-no-Mae, Kintoki and Kyouran.

Judging from his appearance, Hassan the Cursed Arm was clearly not in league with Nebuchadnezzar II.

Xia Yan believes in the famous saying of a great man: "Unite all forces that can be united. No matter what, even a mosquito's leg is meat." As long as it can help him, Xia Yan will strive for it.

The group immediately rushed to Hassan's side. Although they hadn't yet taken action to rescue him, they could at least provide timely protection.

"It wasn't enough that you invaded my golden city; you even defiled this throne room with your filthy feet. You bastards, you should be prepared to die, shouldn't you?"

Nebuchadnezzar II stood up, summoning a giant axe and books in his hands, preparing for battle.

The three Servants beneath him also drew their weapons, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

The two sides were already at irreconcilable positions, so Xia Yan didn't waste words refuting him this time. He directly commanded, "Tano and Aya, as we discussed yesterday, send out your three Servants. The target is the three below Nebuchadnezzar II."

"OK."

Tianye and Cai immediately did as instructed.

The six Servants immediately leaped out and each matched up with an opponent.

Suzuka Gozen approached Taira Kagekiyo, who also wielded a sword, while Elizabeth and Camilla tacitly stood together, and Salome was automatically paired with Astolfo.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Suzuka Gozen and Taira Kagekiyo did not exchange any words; rather, they communicated entirely through their swords, and the clanging of metal echoed continuously.

Elizabeth and Camilla even reenacted a classic Type-Moon scene: I hit myself.

On one side, she kept saying, "I will never admit that you are my future, and I never want to become you," while on the other side, she kept saying, "Knowing your fate, yet still insisting on that naivety, it's disgusting." Both sides went all out, and the intensity of their attacks even exceeded that of Suzuka Gozen and Taira Kagekiyo, whose spirit origin levels should be above theirs.

In contrast, Salome and Astolfo on the last side of the battlefield seemed to be completely slacking off.

Salome looked at Afu with no interest whatsoever. What she longed for was a noble and pure man, preferably one who could reach the level of a saint, rather than this irrational little boy dressed in women's clothing in front of her.

Because there wasn't enough space for the eagle to fly inside the Great God Tower, Afu had to go up himself this time.

Seeing that the other party had little interest in him, Afu was happy to have some peace and quiet.

The two then took turns responding to each other, playing a game of turn-based strategy.

Overall, the three battlefields are currently evenly matched.

Xia Yan withdrew his gaze from the battle and looked up at Nebuchadnezzar II, but spoke to Enkidu beside him.

"Enkidu, this false king in Gilgamesh's skin, it would be a little uncomfortable to call him by his real name. Let's just call him Nebuchadnezzar 2.5."

Enkidu, standing to the side, also unusually echoed Xia Yan's wicked intentions.

"Yes, it definitely feels much more comfortable to address you like that."

"You bastards!"

Nebuchadnezzar II naturally overheard Xia Yan and Enkidu's undisguised conversation, and in his anger, he immediately activated the spell hidden within the Great God Tower.

"You bastards, I will show you that entering my Great God Tower is a thousand times more foolish than breaking into the workshop of an ordinary magician's servant."

Everyone on Xia Yan's side immediately felt their bodies become several times heavier, and even their movements became much more sluggish. In particular, Ping Jingqing, Camilla, and Astolfo, who were in the middle of the battle, were caught off guard by this sudden change and all suffered injuries of varying degrees.

Tano and Aya immediately realized this couldn't continue and pleaded with Xia Yan, "Xia Yan, I'm following your orders, but if this continues, my three Servants will have sacrificed themselves in vain. Could you please retract your decision last night not to provide support and help my Servants?"

After Tianye and Cai finished speaking, they bowed deeply to Xia Yan.

Xia Yan understood that he couldn't leave things unattended at this moment, so he looked at Linghu Shi and said, "Linghu Shi, go and lend a hand."

Linghu Shi had no objection and immediately ordered, "Gawain, you go help Ping Jingqing. Richard, you go help Camilla. Charlemagne, you go help Astolfo."

The three Servants immediately joined the battle upon receiving the order.
