FATE: Target of Grand Master

boom!

When Surt revealed his complete form, even outside the distant city of Moscow, Craig and the others could clearly see the figure of the Flame Giant King.

"This is Surute? It's huge!"

Frenata exclaimed in shock.

Not only Freynetta, but all four Masters present felt an immense sense of oppression.

When they were working on the Type-Moon lore and story, they naturally knew that the Norse Lostland featured the fire giant Surtr, but the appearance in the game was completely incomparable to its real-world counterpart.

The towering figure, as tall as a mountain, exuded a powerful sense of oppression even when it remained motionless, not to mention that the fire giant was launching an attack in another direction.

"Frenita, have the mechanical soldiers met the natives of the Norse Lostbelt?" Craig asked.

"We've received them and are currently escorting them back."

"Alright, Cecilia, I'll leave this to you. I'm going to the front lines to assist Xia Yan."

Upon hearing Craig's decision, Cecilia immediately followed suit, saying, "I'll go with you."

"No, someone needs to be here to take command."

Craig knew very well what going to the front lines meant now; it was a place where death was a near certainty. It wasn't that Craig didn't value his life, otherwise he wouldn't have made it this far. But he knew very well that Xia Yan was very strong, but if someone as strong as Xia Yan fell, then the four of them left wouldn't have a chance to survive either.

Although his strength was not comparable to Xia Yan's, he was still somewhat capable of fighting. Even just going to the front lines to help Xia Yan share some of the pressure was better than waiting idly in the rear.

"Aren't there still two people left?"

Cecilia did not back down in the slightest.

Frena spoke up, "Xia Yan hasn't given us the order to attack. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to act on our own at this time?"

Freynetta herself was unwilling to go to the front lines. On the one hand, she knew her own strength was simply not up to par in a battle of this level. On the other hand, she was indeed deeply shocked by the Giant King Surt.

At that moment, humanity's innate fear of colossal creatures was awakened, and unless the situation had become unavoidable, she really didn't want to get close to that fire giant at all.

Villeneuve expressed the same view.

As the first Master controlled by Xia Yan, he was well aware of Xia Yan's power and knew that Xia Yan must have a complete plan. If he acted on his own at this time, he might ruin Xia Yan's plan.

Anyway, he didn't consider himself to be very bright, so in this situation, it was better to just follow instructions.

The four immediately fell into a disagreement.

Craig could understand Frenitta and Villeneuve's thoughts; in fact, neither viewpoint was right or wrong, but rather different inclinations when faced with a choice.

In that case, Craig said to Frenitta and Villeneuve, "Cecilia and I will go to provide support. You two will stay here, but you need to give me that mechanical soldier unit equipped with pseudo-noble artifacts."

Seeing Craig's resolute attitude, Freya stopped trying to persuade him. As for the mechanical troops, they were useless to keep in the rear, so it was better to hand them over to Craig.

"Okay, I'll have Edison hand over control to you immediately."

Moments later, Craig gained control of the mechanical forces and gathered all his followers, including Alexandre Dumas.

Cecilia also summoned her Servants to her side and informed them of the next steps.

The two exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, and without saying a word, immediately ran towards Surut's direction.

Watching the two men walk away, Villeneuve sighed, "While I don't support what they did, I have to admit, they were very manly."

Freya was silent for a moment, then sighed and replied, "Although it's hard to admit, as Masters, there is a clear gap between us and them."

Then, she turned her gaze to something further away.

"And they are also different from Xia Yan. It's strange, even though I suffered so many setbacks in this trial, and even the last bit of hope in my heart to make it to the end was shattered, my heart is very calm. I don't know about the others, but I believe that Xia Yan will definitely make it to the end and become one of the seven Grand Masters."

Villeneuve nodded, affirming, "I feel the same way. It's like encountering the eventual champion in the knockout stage; even though you lost, you don't feel that your loss was unjust, and you even feel a sense of honor that you lost to the champion."

Frena looked at the big guy next to her with some surprise: "I didn't expect you to say something like that."

"What? Although I don't consider myself very bright, I'm not stupid either. Anyone who has been educated can come up with some witty remarks."

"That's true. You also have a very clear understanding of yourself."

"Hey, you're just deliberately picking a fight."

After traveling for about half an hour with the help of their Servants, Craig and Cecilia encountered a force escorting the natives of the Norse Lostbelt.

Actually, thanks to Morgan and Skadi's magic, the two of them wouldn't have noticed, but Nero and Otrind took the initiative to speak up and remove the concealment effect.

The two sides exchanged information and learned that this place could be considered the border between the Russian Lostbelt and the Norse Lostbelt. Most of the giants had been summoned by Surtr to attack Xia Yan and the others, so there was not much of a threat here.

Therefore, Nero proposed to return to the front lines with Craig and Cecilia.

After meeting Brunhilde, who was by Cecilia's side, Otlinde also decided to follow her sister to the front line to support the great goddess Skadi.

Avisbro immediately conjured several puppet guards on the spot, and then returned to the front line together.

Thus, Craig and Cecilia's support team on the front lines received three more Servants.

boom!

The high-magic ray shot from Surut's mouth was blocked by two giant spears emitting blue light that descended from the sky.

Surtur looked at Morgan, who was floating in mid-air, holding a cross wand, her skirt fluttering in the magical ripples, with a hint of surprise.

It could naturally see that its attack was blocked by the petite figure in front of it, but it didn't understand why the other party had the strength to resist it.

"I see. You're an elf. And a fairy from Paradise at that. I can see you've been corrupted, transformed into an evil being. But that's perfect. As a companion to the World's End Device, someone as wicked and powerful as you is most suitable. So, beautiful fairy, how about becoming my wife and witnessing the destruction of this world together?"

Everyone present stared wide-eyed. Was this a marriage proposal?

The most surprised of all was Xia Yan. Although the other party did not know about his relationship with Morgan, the words were clearly aimed at him.

Very well, so you're the King of Giants, right? The World's End Device, right? Soon, you'll be nothing!

With veins throbbing on his forehead, Xia Yan raised his right hand and shouted, "In the name of my Command Seal, Morgan, use your Noble Phantasm to utterly crush the enemy before you!"
