FATE: Target of Grand Master

As it turns out, Xia Yan was right.

When the two arrived near the two points of highest magical reaction, they saw Morgan standing in the void holding a cross wand, and a fox-like monster made of black mist and crimson flames.

Around the fox's head were five eye-like floating objects, giving the overall impression of being on fire.

This is the form Koyanskaya takes when she releases her playful beast. Its power is stronger than her regular human form, but it is not a fully realized beast-level existence.

Morgan stood silently facing Koyanskaya, whose figure was much smaller than his, yet whose aura subtly overwhelmed the monster opposite him.

"Koyanskaya, I'll just call you that for now. If you want to continue, I don't mind wiping you out completely."

"Morgan! Can't you be reasonable?! I'm clearly doing business here honestly, you're the one deliberately provoking me!"

Morgan scoffed at Koyanskaya's accusations, "You call your methods of price gouging and inciting mutual slaughter 'honest and law-abiding'? Then all the fairies in my Fairy Kingdom must be pure and innocent fantasy beings."

"That's the market economy. It's a willing buyer and a willing seller situation; you can't blame anyone else!"

"But you're in my way," Morgan replied coldly.

"Morgan, you're being completely unreasonable!"

Morgan ruthlessly refuted Koyanskaya's accusations: "Reasoning? When have you ever reasoned with those Yaga? You only try to reason with me because you think you can't beat me. I'm just letting you experience what it's like to be like the Yaga."

Morgan waved his wand, and several bolts of black lightning shot out from the magic circle in front of him, aiming straight for the fox's face.

boom!

Three sharp claws appeared from the void, blocking the attack of the black lightning, but Koyanskaya's fox head was forced to retreat more than ten meters.

"Alright, Morgan! I'll remember this debt, and I'll pay it back double in the future!"

After uttering those classic villainous threats, Koyanskaya immediately used her ability to manifest alone to disappear from this trial world.

"Hmph. Howling bark."

Morgan did not pursue the fleeing Koyanskaya. After all, although the previous battle had not caused her serious injuries, it had consumed a lot of her magic power. She did not want to cause any trouble while she had not yet found Xia Yan.

Just then, she saw Xia Yan waving at her from below, and a huge weight was lifted from her heart. She even regretted letting Koyanskaya go earlier.

"Morgan! If you're done with your work, please come and help me out!"

A little further away, Irene's cries for help could be heard.

Xia Yan, Morgan, and Nero rushed over immediately and found Ereshkigal standing alone in the center of a giant crater, panting heavily. She was clearly exhausted of magic power. Opposite her was a sea monster as big as a skyscraper and a mechanical general as big as a mountain, along with a large number of sea monsters and mechanical soldiers that were like their subordinates.

Xia Yan immediately ordered Morgan to deal with the two big bosses, while Nero was responsible for clearing out the miscellaneous soldiers. Black lightning and crimson flames raged over the enemies, and the two of them quickly swept the battlefield clean, like autumn leaves being swept away by the wind.

"Are you alright?"

While the two were cleaning up the battlefield, Xia Yan inquired about Ai Lei's condition.

Upon seeing Xia Yan, Ai Lei immediately smiled, as if her earlier fatigue had been swept away by his appearance.

"I'm fine, I just used up a bit too much magic."

However, before she could even show off for two seconds, Ai Lei stumbled and almost fell. Fortunately, Xia Yan caught her just in time.

"You say you're fine. You can barely stand."

Caught red-handed, Ai Lei stopped arguing. In addition, her actions with Xia Yan at that moment seemed to be the closing move of a waltz, making them appear very intimate. This made Ai Lei, who was already easily embarrassed, blush so much that her cheeks were almost steaming.

Looking at Ai Lei's adorable appearance, Xia Yan also felt the urge to play a little prank, so he looked at her gently.

This turned the already scorching hot Ai Lei into a boiling kettle, with white steam constantly billowing from her head and her eyes becoming blurry circles.

Stare~~~

Suddenly, Xia Yan sensed two unfriendly gazes, immediately pulled Ai Lei up, and pretended to brush the snow off her head.

After doing all this, Morgan and Nero returned to the two of them.

"Ereshkigal, you can use up so much magic power on these ugly and deformed things? You're a bit beneath your dignity as the mistress of the underworld."

If anyone else had said this, Ellie would have surely punished them for disrespecting the gods. But since it was Morgan who said it, Ellie could only defend herself with a slightly aggrieved expression: "These enemies just kept appearing. No matter how many I eliminated, new ones would immediately appear. I could never eliminate them all."

"Then how come all these guys were wiped out as soon as we arrived?"

"I guess the mastermind behind summoning these things probably thought they had no chance after seeing that you repelled Koyanskaya, so they also chose to retreat."

Eresh's words made sense, so Morgan didn't continue the topic.

"Xia Yan!"

Just then, Anastasia, Musashi, Euryale, and the Killer Hunters, who had been chasing after them, arrived.

Seeing two more beautiful women beside Xia Yan, Anastasia's alarm bells went off, but remembering what Xia Yan had told her earlier, she maintained her royal composure and elegantly asked, "Are these two also your Servants?"

Xia Yan nodded and said, "Yes, let me introduce you. This is the Queen of the Fairy Kingdom of Britain, the genius magician Morgan, and this is Ereshkigal, the mistress of the underworld in Mesopotamian mythology."

Eresh had no objection to Xia Yan's introduction and gently waved to Anastasia, but Morgan had a lot of objections.

"Xia Yan, didn't you forget a very important title?"

Seeing Xia Yan's confused expression, Morgan said, word by word, "I am your wife."

These words sent a complete alarm bell ringing in Anastasia's mind.

"What! Xia Yan, you're already married?"

"Um...no, but..."

Xia Yan didn't know how to explain for a moment, so he could only whisper to Morgan, "Your Majesty, isn't it said that when introducing someone outside, they should be called by their official title?"

Morgan glanced at him casually and said, "Didn't I say that? I was referring to other people."

Xia Yan was speechless. Morgan's solution was clearly a last-minute addition.

Morgan, quite naturally, explained on Xia Yan's behalf as his legal wife: "Although we haven't had a wedding yet, it's an undeniable fact that Xia Yan is my husband. Everyone else has accepted this premise and is still willing to dedicate themselves to my husband."
