FATE: Target of Grand Master

Although the two sides are 500 meters apart, they can still communicate clearly through magic.

Looking at Craig opposite him, Xia Yan could sense a unique military aura emanating from him. Although the chances were slim, Xia Yan would be happy to conserve some magic power if he could negotiate with Craig to leave the trial.

"Okay, what should I call you?"

"Craig. What is your name, sir?"

"Xia Yan, aren't you going to introduce the lady next to you?"

Xia Yan naturally wouldn't overlook Cecilia standing next to Craig.

"Cecilia".

The answer was extremely concise, with not a single word added.

"Sorry, that's just how Cecilia is; she's not very talkative."

Craig, standing nearby, offered an explanation for Cecilia, then, as if suddenly realizing something, asked, "Xia Yan, you're the Xia Yan mentioned in the world chat, the one with Morgan, right?"

"I think there is no one who shares my name and can summon Morgan at the same time."

Xia Yan's words were tantamount to an admission.

"We really did draw a terrible lot."

Craig gave a wry smile and said frankly, "I was originally thinking of trying to persuade you to give up this trial. We can provide the teleportation orb, but if it were you, you probably wouldn't give up the trial so easily."

Although Craig wasn't familiar with Xia Yan's character, putting himself in Xia Yan's shoes, he realized that when someone possesses power that surpasses those around them, it's impossible for them to easily back down.

To dispel any such thoughts in the other party, Xia Yan replied directly, "That's right, I won't give up the trial. However, I can also return that to you. Although I don't know which Servants you have, their strength is definitely inferior to mine. Rather than suffering losses here, using a teleportation orb to leave would be a wise choice. If you don't have one, I can provide one."

Craig was also amused by Xia Yan's words.

"It seems there's no point in negotiating. While neither of us would stand a chance against you in a one-on-one fight, if we join forces, we might be able to put up a fight."

Upon hearing Craig's words, Xia Yan simply replied, "Then let's give it a try."

"Berserker!"

After the negotiations ended, Cecilia immediately summoned her Servant.

He was a robust man with long, emerald-green hair and dark skin. His thick arms were bound by golden shackles, symbolizing his imprisonment in his previous life.

Xia Yan naturally recognized this follower. He was Samson, the unclaimed Berserker who had been replaced by Morgan in the trial of the Moonlit Ceremony, a hero of ancient Israel in the Old Testament, a warrior of immense strength who could kill a lion with his bare hands and defeat many enemies.

"roar--!"

Samson, a berserker who had lost his mind, roared and charged toward Xia Yan.

"Musashi, if it weren't for my intervention, you would have been Takao Tayu's Servant during the Moonlit Ceremony, and this berserker Samson charging towards us was originally stationed in Yoshiwara, guarding Takao Tayu as an unclaimed Berserker. So, there's some connection between you. Moreover, he's a formidable enemy..."

Musashi's injuries had healed, and she could no longer contain her desire to spar with a powerful enemy. Unusually, she interrupted Xia Yan before he could finish speaking, saying, "Leave it to me."

After saying that, Musashi rushed out, leaving behind a cloud of snow dust.

However, just as Musashi charged toward Samson, Morgan said, "Ereshkigal, fire a few spears at that big guy's back."

Seeing Morgan's serious expression, Xia Yan immediately added to Ai Lei, "Do what Morgan says."

Ereshkigal immediately summoned six golden spears, which circled around Samson in an arc and shot towards his back.

Dangdang Dangdang!

Dangdang Dangdang!

The golden spear did not hit the berserker's back; instead, it was knocked away by two sharp metal blades.

"really."

Morgan summoned his cross wand and cast a spell around Samson. Instantly, as if a mirror had shattered, the space behind Samson cracked, and two new Servants emerged from it.

"I didn't expect our invisibility to be discovered so quickly."

Holding a spear taller than himself, a woman with a beautiful face that always revealed a sense of sadness spoke.

"There's nothing we can do about it, after all, that great witch is on the other side."

The man holding the demon sword Grammoth beside him pushed up his glasses and replied.

Upon seeing the two of them appear, Xia Yan immediately issued an order to support Musashi.

"Nero, Ereshkigal, hurry and help Musashi."

Xia Yan was in such a hurry because he recognized who the two newly appeared riders were.

One is Brunhilde, the eldest sister of the Valkyries and daughter of Odin, the chief god of Norse mythology; the other is Sigurd, the dragon-slaying hero hailed as the "King of Warriors" in the "Volsunga Chronicles".

Both of these Norse couples are top-tier fighters. If they were to attack Musashi alongside Samson, even though Musashi is extremely powerful, she would inevitably suffer significant injuries, which could even threaten her Spirit Origin.

What surprised Xia Yan even more was that the two of them actually used rune magic to hide behind Samson. This was obviously a tactic that had been practiced beforehand. If Morgan hadn't seen through the invisibility effect in time, Musashi might have really been ambushed.

On the other side, Craig couldn't help but sigh when he saw that Cecilia's tried-and-true tactics had been seen through. "As expected of the Great Witch Morgan, even Brunhilde, who is proficient in divine runes, cannot deceive her in the realm of magic."

Cecilia glanced at Craig and casually reminded him, "Now is not the time for lamenting."

"I understand. You've accomplished your task of holding back three of their Servants; now it's my turn."

Craig stretched out his right hand and waved it forward.

"Go, Beowulf, Martha."

Beowulf, standing behind, and Martha, who had been freed from her spirit form, advanced together, rushing towards Xia Yan's direction.

"Overestimating one's abilities."

Anastasia stepped forward, placed Vy in front of her, and blew a blizzard cold enough to freeze an ordinary person instantly at the two charging Servants.

Beowulf and Martha instantly felt their limbs begin to go numb, and it became increasingly difficult for them to take a step. Within seconds, Beowulf was the first to be frozen solid, while Martha, who had an A-level magic resistance, was still persevering, but had not yet reached a distance where she could launch a counterattack against Anastasia.

A dozen seconds later, Martha was completely frozen.

"See? This is the power of V. In this Russian Lostbelt, no one can defeat the wind and snow."

However, before Anastasia could finish speaking, several runes appeared around Martha and Beowulf.

The next second, the runes turned into flames and burned, instantly restoring the two frozen people.

Craig looked at the somewhat surprised Anastasia and said calmly, "Don't underestimate us. Since we saw Vi yesterday, we naturally knew that Her Highness the Princess was on the other side. How could we not have made preparations in advance?"
