FATE: Target of Grand Master

"Everyone, thank you so much for coming to support me this time."

After a thorough exchange with Xia Yan and the Servants who had a connection with him, Xia Yan also bowed deeply to the Servants whose Spirit Origins began to dissipate into golden particles.

After bidding farewell to the supporting Servants, Xia Yan noticed that Linghu Shi had been standing quietly to the side the whole time.

"Big star, I've been waiting for this for so long!"

After fighting alongside Xia Yan and defeating Draco, Linghu Shi finally relaxed and even started joking with Xia Yan.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Xia Yan's politeness made Linghu Shi feel that she was being a bit pretentious.

"Um... let's not talk about that. Um, would it be convenient to add each other as friends?"

Linghu Shi stated his intentions directly.

"certainly."

Xia Yan also took out his phone and added Linghu Shi as a friend.

"Excuse me, are you currently a member of a Master group?"

After observing Linghu Shi throughout the trial, Xia Yan felt that he was quite reliable. He had a simple and straightforward personality but was not lacking in intelligence, and the strength of his five followers was also quite good. He was someone worth recruiting.

"No. I'm actually quite a loner, not very sociable. What, you want to recruit me into your Master group?"

Linghu Shi answered very frankly.

"Yeah, are you interested in joining my Master Group? Our group isn't large, but everyone is talented. I wouldn't say they're exceptionally gifted, but they're all quite interesting. And unlike other Master Groups, we'll never abandon any member."

"Hmm...can I think about it before I reply?"

Although Linghu Shi was somewhat tempted, he still wanted to be cautious.

"sure."

Xia Yan did not urge him.

"By the way, have you ever encountered a situation where the teleportation array hasn't popped up for this long before?"

"no."

After Linghu Shi's reminder, Xia Yan also felt that the teleportation array was appearing unusually slowly this time.

Rumble!

Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet began to collapse, and they immediately fell downwards.

Fortunately, Morgan reacted quickly and immediately cast a levitation spell on everyone.

However, the crisis was not over. The monstrous beast, He, whose body was decaying but whose size was still enormous, suddenly emerged from the ground and attacked the two of them.

"How is that possible? Wasn't Draco already defeated?"

Linghu Shi did not understand.

"Xiao Shi, this isn't the time to think about this, get out of the way!"

Arthur immediately took Linghu Shi and fled, while Charlemagne, Richard, and Gawain also dodged the attacks of the demon beast Hercules.

On the other side, Xia Yan was also taken to a higher position by Morgan, while the other Servants were also trying their best to avoid it.

Because of the previous battle with Draco, Xia Yan's Servants now have to use all their energy to not only retaliate, but even to dodge.

"Cú Chulainn, Musashi, go and protect Nero and Tsuru."

Xia Yan realized that there were only six magical beasts attacking them, and immediately became alert.

The moment Xia Yan gave the order, the last lurking monster, He, burst forth from the ground, its target Nero.

Although Nero was able to stand on his own at this moment, he had almost no fighting ability. Fortunately, Cú Chulainn was fast enough to get him away before the monster Hound could devour him.

Seeing their plan fail, the seven magical beasts immediately distanced themselves, transforming into human form, and shouted at Nero, "We haven't lost! We can still fight! Draco, why did you surrender?"

Faced with the demonic beasts' posture of "We are ready to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?", Nero calmly replied, "I am not Draco, I am Nero. Draco has already disappeared in the battle just now."

"What?"

The leading monster, Heruksuria, exclaimed in surprise.

"Impossible! If Draco disappeared, how could we continue to exist!"

"I have said it before, I am Nero. Whether you believe me or not will not affect my decision to act solely as Xia Yan's Servant. Draco accepted defeat, and he accepted disappearance. That is my answer."

Xia Yan sensed from Nero's words that Draco might not have completely disappeared, but since Nero had made up his mind, Xia Yan decided not to interfere any further.

"I can't understand it."

"Unacceptable."

"I cannot agree with this."

The monsters expressed their bewilderment and anger at Nero's answer.

"Since you have chosen to give up, we will no longer recognize you as the main body. The name of the Beast of Sodom and the position of BEAST VI will be taken over by us."

"Heh, you really have backbone."

Suddenly, a silvery female voice rang out.

Everyone turned to look, and saw a spatial rift suddenly appear in the air. A girl with short golden hair, wearing a bright green dress, and looking as cute and beautiful as a doll slowly walked out from it.

Xia Yan and Linghu Shi's pupils trembled simultaneously, because they recognized the newcomer's identity—Satiao Aika, a well-known eccentric woman from Type-Moon who was connected to the Root from birth and went completely insane once she fell in love.

As for the possibility that the love song in front of the two of them is not crazy, it simply does not exist!

Putting everything else aside, the fact that Arthur was standing next to Linghu Shi was enough to make Ai Ge want to kill her.

Linghu Shi was already drenched in sweat, but Arthur quietly took a step in front of her.

This action was naturally noticed by Aika.

After taking several deep breaths, Aika suppressed the urge to speak to Arthur and turned to look at the monsters first.

"Who are you? Why do you possess an aura similar to ours?"

The monster Heruksuria inquired about Aige.

"It's simple, because I also have BEAST VI within me. Since you've been betrayed by Draco, then submit to me."

The love song slowly descended upon the monster Heruksuria.

"Oh no, what if she gets the magical beast..."

Before Linghu Shi could finish speaking, Arthur had already charged ahead.

Xia Yan also realized the seriousness of the problem, but the battle just now had exhausted the mana of all his Servants, and even Morgan and Tiamat could only launch extremely ordinary attacks at this moment.

Besides Lukesuria, the other six magical beasts immediately blocked the way for the three Servants. Given the state of the three Servants, it would be difficult for them to break through in a short time.

"Hmph, mere humans dare to demand our submission? Don't be so arrogant..."

Before the monster Heruksuria could finish speaking, Aika instantly appeared in front of Heruksuria, who had transformed into human form, and placed one hand on the head of the leader of the monster Heruksuria.

"What I just said was a notification, not a discussion."

Through the hand that Aige pressed against her forehead, the monster Heruksuria sensed an extremely powerful curse and endless magic power that connected to the source.

This human is definitely not simple!

No! Based solely on his current contact with her, the monster Heruksuria could assert that this girl with a human appearance had far surpassed the realm of humanity.

"Submit to me, and you will gain power greater than you did under Draco."

Ai Ge's words seemed to possess a magical power, actually causing the monster Heruksuria to seriously consider the feasibility of submission.

"We are willing to submit."

A moment later, the monster Heruksuria knelt on one knee and offered his loyalty to Aegean.

That's wonderful!

Aigo revealed a warm smile, like the afternoon sun in winter.

"Now, I can finally speak with my beloved prince."
