Chapter 51: The lingering ghost
Ryuunosuke Uryuu didn't know what the Holy Grail War was. He only knew that the blue-bearded man who called himself Caster, whom he had summoned a few days ago, had an "artistic aesthetic" that was beyond his understanding.
Just follow that master, and you will be able to enjoy cool art and stunning views that you have never seen before.
Lying on the bridge over the Mion River, Ryunosuke grabbed the railing, so excited that he was already raising the flag. He loudly expressed his praises to Master Bluebeard.
He no longer cared about the destruction of his workshop some time ago.
In fact, he had begun to forget how he got here and how he used the Command Seal to order Caster to perform this kind of magic.
He didn't even understand Caster's words: "If it's my Master, my dear friend who asks for it, I, Gilles de Rais, will never refuse."
"Ah…ah…"
Ryunosuke began to wonder if he was too excited and lacked oxygen, which caused his thinking to become slow and only supreme happiness to fill his body.
Then, the crisp sound of high heels walking by rang in his ears.
Confused, Ryunosuke turned around and noticed that before he knew it, there was a thick fog everywhere, and even the huge sea monster was shrouded in it so that only the outline could be seen.
There was no one else around, and no cars were passing on the bridge.
It was so quiet all around.
Then how did he see those scenes just now?
"Hey, do you know what's going on? It's suddenly foggy here."
Looking at the silver-haired woman walking out of the fog, Ryunosuke didn't even pay attention to that beautiful face, thinking about how to get pain and despair from it, but just asked stupidly.
"Are you Caster's Master?" Morgan ignored Ryunosuke's question.
Ryunosuke was very dissatisfied and staggered toward Morgan. "I said, did you hear me? Why is it foggy here?"
He reached out to grab Morgan and question her.
But before he could get close enough to touch her, he flew backward and fell to the ground.
"It hurts…"
Ryunosuke raised his head and the world was spinning. Although it was a winter night, he felt warmer than ever.
Something bright red filled his vision, and Ryuunosuke fell to the ground helplessly, "It's so warm…"
Morgan just stood there, looking coldly at Ryuunosuke, whose limbs were cut off and a pool of blood was beneath him.
"After my limbs were cut off, I only felt the pain of falling to the ground, and the strength to survive," Morgan said to herself. "I have warned you once, magus. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you live long enough?"
As the words rang out, a dark blue flame suddenly rose up, sweeping across the sidewalk on the side of the Mion River Bridge.
Ryunosuke's body swelled, and at the moment when the winged blade insect was about to break out of his body, both he and his body began to burn.
More than a dozen sea monsters, over one meter tall, fell down along the railings or from the beams.
There was no doubt that Ryuunosuke Uryuu had been controlled by the insects of Zouken Matou without the other party noticing.
Although he still had his own consciousness and could move freely, he had actually become a puppet of the magus.
Even Zouken "thoughtfully" used Ryunosukeand asked Caster to arrange for the sea monsters to ambush here, waiting for any master who intended to snipe Ryuunosuke Uryuu to appear.
"Hehehe~ I originally wanted to hook another Master, but I didn't expect to hook a Servant in the end. What a bad decision~"
The voice of Zouken was heard in the thick fog, but he never showed up. It was obvious that the corrupt old man was deeply afraid of Morgan.
Other Servants might be fine, but she is a magician from the Age of Gods, and her magic level is definitely not comparable to Caster's.
"Now that you can't even train a Master, you're still trying to pursue the Holy Grail. As one of the three major families, you don't even know the situation of the Greater Holy Grail," Morgan said contemptuously.
However, Zouken laughed sinisterly, "Hehehe~ Of course, I know what the Holy Grail looks like better than you guys who were attracted by the omnipotent wish-granting machine."
"Really? That's commendable, but that's all." Morgan could not hide the disgust in her voice.
Be it sea monsters or insects, they were all ruthlessly crushed and burned to ashes by her magic.
The section of the Mion River Bridge where she was standing suddenly turned into something that looked like it had just been hit by a major disaster.
"It's really scary. He didn't even have to move a finger to kill all the groups of familiars." Zouken was still smiling sinisterly.
He didn't need to step to the front of the stage, he only needed to hide in the dark and watch. Naturally, he could always maintain the complacent attitude of watching from the sidelines.
"But Caster's sea demons are endless. How long can you last without a weapon? You'd better run for your life."
Leaving behind a final taunt, Matou Zouken's presence completely disappeared from the thick fog. Even Morgan couldn't immediately capture his location. She wanted to get rid of the annoying bugs, but she always failed.
Morgan couldn't help but feel a little irritated.
The surroundings were in a mess, but the sea monsters continued to appear.
If she cannot destroy the treasure that serves as the furnace of magic power, it will take some time for Morgan to destroy them all.
Morgan, who was losing patience a little, prepared to use a bigger magic to clear the surroundings. As for the bridge, she would try her best not to damage the main structure to the point of collapse.
—After all, she still have to take the kids out to play with Tatsuya later, and the bridge can't be broken.
In an instant, a cold light flashed, and another group of sea monsters around Morgan was cleared away, but it was not her who did it.
Tatsuya slowly landed on the crumbling, charred railing, weapon in hand.
"Caster's sea demon suddenly stopped. What happened?" asked Tatsuya.
Morgan stopped preparing her magic, "Nothing, I just killed Caster's Master, and probably the contract was cut off, leaving him open. Compared to this, why did you come here?"
"I felt uneasy seeing you fighting here and Caster stopping, so I took the opportunity to come over and take a look," Tatsuya said.
As soon as he finished speaking, the sea demon in the river began to move violently again, obviously realizing that the Master was dead, and Caster began to act recklessly.
"I've made you worry. It seems I've failed in my duty as a wife," Morgan said jokingly, a soft light flashing in her eyes.
"It has nothing to do with whether you are derelict in your duty or not." Tatsuya held out his hand. "It's no use staying here any longer. Do you want to go to the front lines together?"
Morgan took his hand without hesitation and was pulled up by him, holding it in her arms with one hand.
Then, the two of them jumped down from the railing of the Mion River Bridge, passed through the thick fog, and slowly descended into the Mion River.
"If we keep going on like this, there will be no result even if we fight till dawn," Morgan said.
"So what you're saying is—"
"I plan to use my Noble Phantasm."
