章節 28: Chapter 27: Battle of Einzbern Forest (2)
"It seems I made all the preparations. I am not the only one who came to see you." After venting his anger, Caster once again showed a dangerous smile, "You also brought a magician who can blaspheme the gods with you."
"You say that, Caster. I don't think you are worthy of bathing in the glory of the Lord overflowing from the Holy Grail." Tatsuya also mocked him as much as he could, "You are different from this 'Joan of Arc.'"
Of course, he knew that Fuyuki's Holy Grail was not the true Holy Grail of the Church.
"Hahahaha! The glory of the Lord is no longer needed by me, Gilles de Rais!" Caster had a thick bound book in his hand.
The cover of the book had a wet and shiny look as if it had been touched by water. It was made by sticking human skin on it.
Although it was just a book, it flowed with magical power that was no less than the level of a treasure.
"My comrade Prelati left me this magic book, which gave me the ability to control the demon army." Caster was very proud, opening his arms and cheering to the sky, "This is my happiness, my belief, and my ideal!"
Ignoring Caster's ecstasy and joy, Tatsuya took the child from Artoria's hands and held him in one hand.
"It's not good. The flow of magic power in these summons is very unusual. I'm afraid they are not something that can be killed slowly," Tatsuya looked at the strange child in his arms. "And we are carrying a burden, Saber..."
Saber certainly understood what Tatsuya said.
If the child was placed aside to fight, not only would it distract the two of them, but it might also make the child, who had escaped from danger, fresh food for the sea monster.
"What should we do?" Artoria waved the sword in her hand.
She was now caught in a dilemma. The sea monsters on both sides were just as Tatsuya said. If she killed one, two or three would immediately spawn and surround them tighter and tighter.
"Of course, we have to use some great magic to kill Caster as well," said Tatsuya.
Artoria immediately responded, "Like when you fought Lancer last night?"
"Well, the magic resistance of these sea monsters is not simple. We need to improve the power and accuracy of the big magic." Tatsuya slowly squatted down and half-knelt on the ground, letting the boy lean against his legs and half-lying in the wet soil. "Now, I need your help to deal with the monsters around. Give me time to prepare."
"How long?"
Artoria swung the invisible sword vigorously again, and this time killed five in one breath, but even so, it still didn't work.
"One minute," Tatsuya said.
Hearing this, Artoria suddenly felt a surge of fighting spirit.
"If I can't even hold on for a minute, I'm not worthy of continuing to participate in the Holy Grail War." She smiled and stared at the sea monster and Caster behind the sea monster with sharp eyes.
Caster had observed the battle last night and had an impression of Tatsuya. He knew that the other party was a powerful magician, and his overall strength could even compete with his followers.
So he spread out the magic book in his hand, muttered a spell, and the sea monster grew again on an exaggerated scale.
In a blink of an eye, there were more than thirty sea monsters, and Tatsuya and Artoria could hardly see any trace of Caster.
It is precisely because of this proliferation rate that Tatsuya attaches so much importance to "one minute."
"But don't worry, if we can't hold on for a minute, someone will be happy to use a super-large magic to catch both of us," Tatsuya joked.
"Including you?" Saber was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Then I can only do my best to not become the ghost of the sister's magic."
This was the first time they had worked together, and they were in opposing camps. Artoria was actually quite nervous, and worried whether this "hostage exchange" could restrain Morgan.
After all, Tatsuya is much better at fighting than Irisviel.
But Tatsuya dispelled Saber's doubts with his actions.
"One last question, how do you want Caster to die? Burned by fire, struck by lightning, frozen, or torn apart by the wind?" Tatsuya had already started preparing for the big magic.
Saber couldn't help but laugh, "Then try to choose the kind that won't set the forest on fire and has lethality."
"It's up to you, my Lord."
————————
At Einzbern Castle, in the guest room.
"You look very happy, my husband," Morgan's voice sounded a little unhappy.
Iris couldn't help but feel confused. She was also a wife, so she immediately understood where Morgan's displeasure came from.
"I think this is probably just Mr. Tatsuya's way of lightening the atmosphere so that Saber can concentrate on fighting and covering him and the rescued child," Irisviel smiled bitterly and tried to comfort Morgan.
After all, being in the same room with servants from other camps was beyond Irisviel's expectations.
"Don't be so nervous. Even if you are the Master of that Artoria, I will not attack you," Morgan stared at the crystal ball and said lightly. "After all, without the Lesser Holy Grail, the Greater Holy Grail cannot be activated, right?"
Irisviel was shocked, but then she understood, "I already know."
"It is indeed a very special system, but if the true purpose is not concealed from the Servants, the war cannot be carried out," Morgan pointed out the inside story of the Holy Grail War as if chatting with her family.
"As expected of a magician from the Age of Gods," Irisviel acknowledged what Morgan said. "But… the fact that it is a wish-granting machine for the Holy Grail War is not false either. So—"
Morgan turned and looked at Irisviel, "Seriously?"
"What?" Irisviel didn't respond.
But Morgan did not continue to explain, but lowered her eyes slightly, "It seems that the time for small talk is over. Your precious place is really full of guests."
"?!"
Irisviel realized that she was distracted by the battle between Tatsuya and Artoria and ignored that someone had broken into the barrier from other directions.
"Keyneth El-Melloi..." Iris turned the monitoring point of the crystal ball and saw Keyneth walking into the forest.
However, Kayneth went to the castle alone, while his servants... went to Saber and the others.
"It came quickly."
Morgan rose gracefully from her chair.
The barrier of the Tatsuya family was damaged to a certain extent, as if a thief had broken into the house and picked the lock.
This fact was also known by Morgan, who was synchronized with the barrier status.
"Want to fight back?" Iris looked at Morgan.
"Isn't this why I was left here? Even if there is magic powerful enough to destroy the city, this room will be safe."
Morgan calmly walked out and closed the door.
Irisviel felt a powerful barrier suddenly open up, and no one could enter or exit unless the barrier was broken.
However, this barrier did not cut off contact with the outside world, and Irisviel could still use the crystal ball to observe the battle situation in the forest.
And Emiya Kiritsugu was in the forest outside the castle, monitoring the battle situation around him.
