FATE: Target of Grand Master

Aside from Astolfo, all three of Tano and Aya's Servants were somewhat unhappy with Linghu Shi's addition of Servants, especially Carmilla. After all, her duel with Elizabeth could be summed up as "this is just my business." However, considering that Nebuchadnezzar II activated the Great God Tower's spell, which could be considered as providing Elizabeth with assistance, she reluctantly accepted Richard's help.

"I don't care where you are the king, but I must lead the attack in this battle. Your job is to help me hold her back."

These words represented Camilla's last line of defense for her dignity.

Richard nodded indifferently. Although he was there to assist Camilla, he had not forgotten what his Master had done for his little poet. He was happy to see Camilla suffer a setback.

After saying this, Camilla threw the Iron Maiden at Elizabeth, but the little dragon girl nimbly dodged the direct attack.

"ah!!!"

Elizabeth immediately put her hands to her mouth and launched a sonic attack at Camilla.

Camilla immediately pulled Iron Maiden back and shielded her in front of herself, blocking the little dragon girl's counterattack. However, due to the spell's effect, Camilla's abilities were weakened, and she and Iron Maiden were blasted several meters away by the sonic wave and fell to the ground.

Although Elizabeth is a comedian, she doesn't hold back when it comes to taking action. Seeing Camilla reveal a weakness, she immediately raised her gun and leaped up, ready to give her future self, who has a terrible reputation, a good whack.

clang!

Just as the spear was less than a meter away from Camilla, a cross-shaped sword with a crimson-gold hilt blocked its tip.

"I'm sorry, miss, I can't let you kill her."

Richard followed Camilla's instructions and did not attack first, only blocking attacks for her when she showed an opening.

"Hmph! Don't think I won't hit you just because you're handsome."

Elizabeth immediately turned her attack on Richard. Although Richard was also affected by the spell, his spirit origin level was still higher than Camilla's, so he could hold his own against Elizabeth for a while.

"Your Majesty, you've come to help Afu! Hehe, we can finally fight side by side again after so long."

On the other side, Afu practically welcomed Charlemagne's arrival with a cannon salute.

"Ah Fu, you're not being polite."

Although Charlemagne said that, he was also delighted to be able to work with Alfred again.

"Ah, you are His Majesty the King. I'm not very good at dealing with kings, but since you're so handsome, I'll ask you one question. Would you be willing to offer me your head? Don't misunderstand, I'm still devoted to John, but who wouldn't want a beautiful head?"

Salo's beautiful face showed no sign of madness, but her words were full of madness.

Any other monarch would likely have been enraged by Salome's outrageous words, but Charlemagne simply smiled and refused, saying, "I'm sorry, this is not the end of my adventure. Since our positions are irreconcilable, I can only ask you to leave the stage and leave after murdering the girl of Saint John."

"Fine, I'm used to being rejected anyway. But even if I'm rejected, I still have ways to get your head."

As soon as she finished speaking, Salome summoned three floating blue skulls that flew toward Charlemagne. At the same time, the giant skull sitting on the green-haired dancer also floated up, dodging Alfred's slash.

Charlemagne immediately displayed his superb swordsmanship, his impenetrable defense preventing the three skeletons that were trying to bite him from getting close.

After discovering that the skeletons only changed angles to bite and attack, Charlemagne stopped wasting his energy. He raised one hand, and three swords identical to the holy sword "Gouvayus" appeared in the air. As Charlemagne swung his hand down, the three "Gouvayus" accurately pierced the three annoying skeletons.

However, Astolfo on the other side was not so lucky.

The battle space was cramped, and there were many friendly forces around, which made it difficult for Astolfo to use his Noble Phantasms. Without the hawk, Astolfo had no way to effectively attack Salome who was floating in mid-air. Instead, he was chased around by the lasers shot from the mirror.

Charlemagne, left with no other option, immediately charged toward Salome from the side. Unexpectedly, the skeleton beneath the green-haired dancer suddenly turned toward him, its size rapidly expanding, ready to swallow him whole.

Charlemagne immediately summoned six "Gouvayus" swords, which blocked the large skeleton's upper and lower teeth, buying him time to retreat.

"Your Majesty, what should we do? Afu is completely useless!"

After being chased all the way, Astolfo finally found a pause in Salome's attack and ran back to Charlemagne's side.

"We'll attack simultaneously; at the very least, we need to suppress her."

Charlemagne didn't rush to use his Noble Phantasm; if possible, he hoped to conserve some magic power for Linghu Shi.

Ding ding ding ding ding!

The battle between Suzuka Gozen and Taira Kagekiyo intensified after Gawain joined the fray.

The three of them barely spoke to each other; interjections like "drink" and "ha" were among the few words exchanged during the battle.

Unlike the other two, Taira no Kagekiyo and Gawain both had decent Spirit Origin levels, and even with the weakening of their spells, they were still able to fight Suzuka Gozen to a standstill.

One sword against three swords, one of which was a holy sword, Suzuka Gozen began to feel a bit tired as the fight went on.

"Ugh, this is so troublesome, my lord! I must use my Noble Phantasm!"

"I grant permission. Elizabeth, Salome, you too shall use your Noble Phantasms. I will make these bastards taste the pain of being surrounded and killed!"

Having said that, in order to coordinate with the attacks of the three Servants, Nebuchadnezzar II also opened the Royal Treasury and fired it towards Xia Yan and the others' location.

"Leave Nebuchadnezzar 2.5 to me."

Enkidu stepped forward, activated his Noble Phantasm, Wisdom of the People, and clashed with Nebuchadnezzar II once more.

The three Babylonian Servants who received the order immediately increased their magical power and unleashed their Noble Phantasms.

"Grass, read its words, and your fame will spread throughout the land. Like a rooftop covered in clouds, it stands tall, slaying hordes of evil spirits with its thorns. Manjushri's Wisdom Sword, a great divine power, a love explosion! Noble Phantasm! Heavenly Demon Rain!"

Suzuka Gozen unleashed as many as 200 longswords composed of golden light, aiming them at Xia Yan and the others.

"Let me show you the hottest single in the Servant world! This is the final track! Noble Phantasm! Blood Witch! Laaaaa!"

Elizabeth, taking into account the size of the Great God Tower, only summoned a miniature version of the city of Chachdis. She then used its off-key, earth-shattering song to unleash a dual physical and mental attack on Xia Yan and the others.

"My dearest, my dearest. Come, give me your head. My Noble Phantasm! I have already kissed you!"

Salome flung the plate in her hand, and the plate, which grew larger and larger in the air, stuck in the path of Charlemagne and Alfred as they retreated. Then the skeleton she was sitting on grew even larger, ready to swallow them both whole.

With the addition of three Noble Phantasms and Nebuchadnezzar II's attack, Xia Yan and his companions were immediately surrounded and besieged.
