FATE: Target of Grand Master

"Tsk, but if we go back empty-handed, those other guys will definitely give us a hard time."

The burly man irritably touched his bald head, then, as if making a decision, said, "No, I need to find them alive or dead. We must find them."

"Master, they are all Servants. If they die, there will be no corpses."

Billy the Kid pointed out the big man's mistake.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and find that female swordsman named Musashi and that little goddess named Euryale."

Not long after the burly man gave the order, the sound of wind and snow around the four of them suddenly intensified, and the visibility decreased.

"Damn it, why is it snowing at this time of year?"

The burly man put on a down hat and unleashed fire magic around himself, but he was still shivering from the cold.

"Something's not right. This doesn't seem like a natural blizzard. The concentration of magic in the air is three times higher than before."

Henry Jekyll sensed something was amiss, and the other two Servants immediately became more vigilant to prevent an attack from an unknown enemy.

However, they soon discovered that their worries were unnecessary.

Good news: the enemies did not resort to a sneak attack, but instead walked openly towards the four of them.

The bad news is that the enemy has far more people than expected: one Master, two Servants, and a full thirty Killer Hunters.

"This is bad, Master."

The woman with a scar on her face, holding a musket, looked at the number of enemies and said helplessly.

For her, one formidable enemy is better than a hundred ordinary ones, after all, the musket in her hand is a weapon that is suitable for single kills but ineffective against multiple enemies.

"Do you even need to tell me? I know the situation is terrible. What I need is a solution! Is it too late for us to run away right now?"

"I'm sorry, Master. If we could escape, we wouldn't be wasting our time here; we would have run away long ago. The enemy used the blizzard to trap us."

Billy the Kid poured cold water on his Master.

"Then we'll have no choice but to fight with our lives."

The burly man took out a bottle of strong liquor that he had acquired after arriving in this world, tilted his head back, and took a swig.

"attack!"

"Hyde, I'm counting on you from now on. Noble Phantasm! The Hidden Game of Sin!"

Jekyll immediately used his Noble Phantasm to summon his evil personality.

Although Jekyll dislikes his evil personality, Hyde is still much stronger than his usual self in terms of combat power.

Bang bang bang!

Billy the Kid and Zenjubo Sugitani immediately pulled the trigger and attacked the enemy.

However, all of these bullets were blocked by a thick ice wall that rose from the ground.

This is naturally Anastasia's masterpiece.

"To dare lay a hand on the royal family is a capital offense."

Just as Anastasia was about to turn the three Servants into ice sculptures in one go, Xia Yan spoke up: "Your Highness, spare their lives. I need to interrogate them alive."

"Just leave one alive, won't that solve the problem?"

Anastasia intended to spare only the Master's life, but still wanted to demonstrate her strength to Xia Yan by killing three at once.

"No, Your Highness, there's no difference between keeping only one and killing them all."

Xia Yan hurriedly stopped him.

"Why? As long as we use some tricks, I don't believe they won't confess."

Xia Yan looked at Anastasia with a slight speechlessness. It has to be said that she is indeed a Slavic people, and her fierce style is engraved in her bones.

"Your Highness, for us Masters, losing all our Servants is practically the same as being killed. If the other side is desperate, the information that could have been obtained through negotiation will become much more difficult to acquire. Of course, torture can probably extract information, but if the other side is deliberately playing us, we'll just be wasting our time. Our priority now is to find the whereabouts of the other Servants; any actions that waste time are a mistake."

Anastasia pursed her lips and didn't say anything more, clearly having taken it to heart.

"Your Highness, you can still demonstrate your strength, which is still necessary, only the degree will be changed from killing to rendering them powerless. Let me think, I'll just freeze them from the neck down."

Anastasia accepted Xia Yan's suggestion and immediately floated Wei into the air, where countless ice spikes fell from the sky and shot towards the four opponents.

Bang bang bang!

Billy the Kid and Zenjubo Sugitani immediately shifted their shooting targets, shattering many ice spikes.

However, the ice spikes were just a feint by Anastasia. Her real purpose was to use the ice spikes to attract the opponent's attention, and then exhale cold air from her mouth to freeze the opponent's legs to the ground.

By the time the two people realized what was happening, their feet were firmly stuck to the ground, and their legs were almost numb.

Unable to move, the two were sitting ducks, constantly eroded by Anastasia's ice, which soon covered the two Servants from the neck down.

On the other side, Hyde fought desperately and did kill two Killer Hunters, but he was surrounded by a full thirty Killer Hunters and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

After Anastasia, who had freed her hands, froze her body with the Siberian cold wind, she received the same treatment as the other two Servants.

As for the burly Master, Anastasia didn't even need to intervene; the aftershocks of the previous battle were enough to freeze him.

"Done!"

Anastasia was satisfied with the outcome of the battle.

Actually, while none of the opponent's three Servants were top-tier, they shouldn't have been able to be defeated by a single Servant in just a few minutes. The problem was that the one who made the move was Anastasia from the Russian Lostbelt.

Of course, besides Her Highness's own strength, the environment of the Russian Lostbelt is also an extremely important factor that enhances her abilities.

This is also why Xia Yan did not send Nero into battle.

Nero's flames will be weakened in the icy world of the Russian Lostbelt. Since Anastasia has a field advantage and wants to perform well, Xia Yan doesn't need to add anything unnecessary.

After giving Anastasia a thumbs up, Xia Yan, accompanied by two Servants and twenty-eight Killer Hunters, walked up to her Master.

"Name, number of Servants, and the main quest of this trial. I'll give you ten seconds to answer. If you lie to me or exceed the time limit, I'll have the Killer Hunter perform the complete Russian torture manual on you."

After Xia Yan finished speaking his concise yet threatening words, he began to count to two.

"one two three......"

"Wait...wait a minute!"

The burly man tried to stop them, but Xia Yan remained unmoved.

"Four, five..."

Seeing this, the burly man dared not waste any more time and immediately replied in the fastest possible speed: "My name is Villeneuve, and I have three Servants. The main mission this time is to defeat the Lostbelt King."

Just as Villeneuve finished speaking, Xia Yan had just counted to ten.

Xia Yan was quite satisfied with Villeneuve's cooperation, and then asked the question he really wanted to ask: "Who did you fight here before?"
