Ch 59

It's been a day since Caster arrived in the hideout. He set up his workshop and began working.

Caster spread his wings. He flapped them but nothing happened.

'Should I enchant them to fly? Yeah, I will do it. It feels wrong to have wings that won't fly '

He used his Noble phantasm and gave the wings the concept of flight using his magical energy as an exchange.

This time, he can fly with wings. He used gravity jail to fly till now but he won't have that problem from now on.

Kingu who is staying in the cave along with Caster asked him "Did you sense them?"

"The Chaldea Agents? Yes, they landed just two seconds ago"

"I'll take care of them" Kingu left saying that.

"Chaldea is finally here. Now then, what is my stance after finishing this contract? There is still the contract with the Grail, That's right! I can do that!"

Caster devised his further plans. After that, he experimented with magecraft and its power in this era.

Completing the experiments, he opened up a portal and went inside, where a completely different dimension existed.

This is the imaginary number space where laws of physics or any laws for that matter don't exist.

The sealed space where the Goddess of Life, Tiamat. Beast II resided as a lump of infinite mud.

He could feel her, it was similar to her divine spirit form on the reverse side. She's currently slumbering. He tried to analyze the spell but the strong mystery of Merlin is rejecting his spell effects.

"Forcing her will be inefficient. I should take it slow, I'm sure with creation skills, it should be easy to create a counter"

He left the space to complete the analysis. Seeing Kingu quite irritated, he said "Let me guess? You failed in killing them?"

"Merlin, he put me through a strong illusion"

"It happens, anyway. You haven't shared your plan yet. Do we just wait all time here? Or will you introduce me to that snake girl? I will help you as I'm free"

Kingu didn't bother to hide the fact about Medusa Avenger is with him.

"I believe I don't need to say it out loud but since you are free for now. Gather sacrifices to make the second generation of beasts"

"Okay but you have to let me study the process of making the beasts"

Kingu agreed "Very well"

Caster didn't do much work aside from observing the birth process of beasts and collecting the sacrifices from various remaining cities.

After a few weeks, when flying above the Persian Gulf, both of them sensed Ritsuka and Mash.

"Don't come after me, I will end him once and for all" Saying this, Kingu left him behind and flew at high speed.

Caster sighed "Is it because of his memories as Enkidu? He doesn't even bother about taking my help as a support and does everything on his own"

Both of them flew through the gulf. Once they reached the beach.

Ritsuka Fujimaru and his demi-servant, Mash are talking with each other. Mash who already sensed the servants coming blocked the attack from Kingu.

"Mash-! The commu-----------"

At the same time, her communications are also cut off.

"You people lack a real sense of danger, don't you?"

Kingu continued to attack, mash defended most of his attacks but she was at her limit.

Caster remained a spectator, not interfering with either side.

When Kingu is about to land a fatal blow, Gilgamesh saved Ritsuka and Mash.

"That is certainly surprising"

Gilgamesh said seeing his one and only friend. His gaze then lay on the Angel observing them.

"You must be the Angel I heard so much about. I couldn't believe you saved a city only to destroy a few more"

Caster gave a bow and said "It is an honour to meet you, Sage-King Gilgamesh. I'm merely a spectator who is completing a contract"

Gilgamesh didn't bother to speak with him anymore. He can tell the Angel is speaking the truth.

Kingu on the other hand is having an internal Crisis.

Both Gilgamesh and Kingu fought but Kingu failed to give his final blow. He left abruptly as his memories of Enkidu are messing with his mind.

Caster is about to leave but Ritsuka stopped him to ask "Wait! Why are you doing this, I heard you saved a city, why destroy everything now?"

"As I said before, I'm merely fulfilling my role. I don't take sides"

"That doesn't make sense. Angels are supposed to be a representation of hope"

Caster sighed "Look Kid, first, Angels are messengers of god. Second, stop applying the human common sense to Servants and inhuman beings"

Caster before leaving to find Kingu, told Ritsuka

"Also, Tell Doctor Roman that he has bad taste, choosing to summon over everything else is just lame. And I like his Ars Paulina more than his stupid summoning"

Ritsuka and Mash are confused about his words. As soon as he left, communications returned, Doctor Roman asked frantically "What happened? Guys! Are you alright?"

King Gilgamesh, Mash, and Ritsuka began their journey back to Uruk while they narrated everything that happened.

Roman stiffened when he heard what Angel wanted to tell him. However, he hid it.

Da Vinci, the third servant summoned by Chaldea, who is beside him, asked "Are you sure he's a real Angel? No matter how weak an Angel is, they will have Divinity due to their connection with God"

Gilgamesh examined Caster with his mystic eyes before and said "That Angel of Beauty is strong. His True Name is 'Beauty Angel' from a parallel world. As a Caster, he is extremely capable but doesn't side with Good or Bad. As long as he benefits, he'll do anything. We can deal with him later"

****

A week has passed since Caster met Gilgamesh and he also almost finished the spell to wake Tiamat from her dream.

Kingu arrived from his trips and told Caster.

"Caster, we are going to Nippur"

" Can't you go alone this time? The spell is almost ready to wake Tiamat, I could just cut through the spell placed by Merlin"

Kingu paused hearing Caster "How much time left for the completion?"

"Maybe 1 day?"

"I will stay behind then"

Kingu agreed to Caster. Caster without any problems to face, began his preparations.

As he's almost completed the spell, he said "You can stop pretending now"

Kingu acted confused about Caster's words and said, "What are you talking about?"

Caster looked at Kingu like a clown "You might be a master of illusion but you missed one point. Kingu will never try to depend on me, Merlin. He would go alone rather than ordering or asking me to help him"

The illusion of 'kingu' faded revealing Merlin in a defensive stance

"That caught me off-guard"

Caster calmly asked "You are not here as an actual person, we both know it. So, can you just stop playing pretend"

" I wanted to negotiate with you. Can't you come to our side? Or at least, stop interfering with my spell on Tiamat"

"Not happening, I must complete this contract. What happens to others isn't my concern "

"I take it, you will be our enemy then"

"For now, yes"

Caster replied confidently. Merlin feeling it was a waste of time to negotiate left him alone.

After disposing of the spell he made in front of Merlin. Caster brought the actual completed spell he had made by deceiving Merlin.

"Time for completion of the contract has come"
