Rider: "Let's get an atomic bomb"

"Weird! It's weird!"

"What's wrong? Why do you keep saying that?"

The huge figure, Iskandar, looked at the small figure of his Master, who seemed to be panicked.

Waver Velvet had always been like this after he saw the aftermath of the battle on the outskirts of the town. He had always felt something weird was happening, and it must be related to the mysterious Caster.

After all, Waver had seen all the Servants on this Holy Grail, and the only one that he hadn't seen was Caster.

Caster was extremely elusive.

Not only was it impossible to find him; even now, no one knew the appearance of this Servant.

Yet, there was no doubt that this Servant was dangerous, and if Waver wasn't wrong, then Lancer, the Servant that was summoned by his lecturer, Kayneth, and could wound Saber, was defeated.

Yet, how?

Lancer definitely wasn't weak, but from that battle... even if Waver didn't want to admit it, Lancer must have been defeated without being able to do anything.

The only remains and traces of their battle were just the scorched earth.

Yet, even if the earth scorched, it didn't leave any heat, which made him wonder whether the battle had ended a few days ago, but he knew that it was impossible.

In other words, Caster should be someone with an extremely deep mastery over a fire.

'Fire...'

Naturally, this was the most common element, and it could be seen anywhere.

It was also the most important thing that humankind had found.

So, what kind of Servant could represent a fire and could become a Caster class?

Waver had a hard time imagining since there should be many figures that were related to a fire, or even worse... it might not be a human. Instead, it might be a god.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Iskandar looked at his Master weirdly.

Even Iskandar was the descendant of Zeus, so it wouldn't be weird for a god to appear, right?

If that was the case, then this Holy Grail would be difficult.

Moreover, Saber...

With the life of Kiritsugu gone and the disappearance of Saber and Irisviel, Waver was afraid that everything had something to do with Caster.

"Say, Riser... can I ask you something?"

"Finally, you want to talk with me instead of murmuring like you have become a fool."

"I am not a fool!" Waver was angry before he sighed, feeling pointless for getting angry at Rider.

"So, what do you want to talk about?" Iskandar asked as he looked at his Master curiously.

"Do you... Do you think that you can defeat a god?"

"Haaa...?" Iskandar looked at his Master weirdly as if saying, "What are you talking about?"

"Listen to me carefully!"

Waver was furious, but he explained his conjecture and his understanding of what kind of enemy they might face, and this enemy was extremely dangerous as it might have taken down Saber and Lancer.

"Hmm... I see." Iskandar nodded. "So you think the identity of this Caster is a God?"

"Yes." Waver nodded, then explained. "There are many gods that are related to fire, right? Like Ra, Agni, even in your country, there is a god of fire like Hephaestus."

However, suddenly, Iskandar laughed heartily.

"......"

Waver blinked his eyes, feeling confused, as Iskandar suddenly laughed when he explained how serious their situation was.

"Why did you laugh?! Have you gone crazy?!"

"Hahaha... if that's the case, then you don't need to worry."

Waver frowned and asked, "Do you have so much confidence in your strength?" Well, he knew that Iskandar wasn't weak and strong, so he thought that Iskandar should be confident.

"Of course!" Iskandar replied loudly. "Especially against a god who doesn't even dare to face me and meet me. I am not afraid of such a cowardly god! If God appears, this Iskandar will slay it down!"

There was no doubt in his voice.

Even if his opponent was a god, there was no fear in Iskandar's voice.

Instead, Iskandar was more excited as he thought that he might be able to meet a god.

"Hmm... or should I recruit him into my army? If I have a god in my army, then my army will be invincible! Then this world will be conquered by me!"

Iskandar then laughed once again as if feeling happy with the idea that he had thought.

However, Waver was speechless, without being able to say anything.

"YOU IDIOT! HOW CAN YOU BE CARELESS?!

"Also, what kind of an idiot will invite a god into their army?!"

Waver felt that this Servant of his had become dumb!

"But boy, if I have a god in my army, then my army will be invincible."

"Then, do you think that god will accept your invitation?!"

"Well, enough of this matters. If we really meet this Caster, the only way we can do it is to fight. You don't need to worry. I still have my Noble Phantasm."

"Noble Phantasm..." Waver murmured as he thought of Diarmuid's two lances. "So, is your Noble Phantasm powerful?" He was curious.

"Well, one of them is the bulls that we often use."

"Oh..."

"Of course, there is more."

"There is more?"

"Yeah, if I use this, I believe no one will be my opponent."

With this Noble Phantasm, whether it was Lancer or Saber, Iskandar didn't think they could stay alive.

While Waver was in doubt, he didn't question Iskandar and decided to believe in him.

"But it is such a shame that Saber has been defeated..."

Iskandar sighed.

"Why so? Isn't it great for the strongest Servant to be eliminated early?"

"You fool! This is a rare chance where many kings from various times can be gathered together! There is no such chance in the future! Don't you want to set up an event where the kings gather together and talk about their views? I want to do such a thing! The King of Knights! Also, that golden Servant! I want to know what they want to do with the Holy Grail."

Waver fell in silence since he could imagine how grand such a talk would be when many famous kings from various eras gathered together.

"Unfortunately...." 2x

Golden Servant aside, the Masters of a Saber was already eliminated.

As for Irisviel and Saber?

They hadn't seen their figures in the Einzbern castle, and with Saber's character, it should be impossible for her to hide, so even if they felt shame, the only answer was that they must be defeated.

Nevertheless, even if Iskandar appeared carefree, he knew that Caster was a fearsome opponent, especially when Caster was capable of defeating Lancer instantly. Even if Caster was using the Noble Phantasm, it didn't change the fact that Lancer had been defeated.

As for why Caster didn't appear and quickly hid, it might be because Caster wished to eliminate all of the Servants one by one.

This was the most troublesome opponent, but for one thing, Iskandar knew that Caster would come sooner or later.

'Come.'

Iskandar wasn't afraid. Instead, he was ready for the battle that would be initiated by Caster, so before that, he was going to learn more about this world superpower and, if possible, get his hands on their weapons, such as... an atomic bomb.

Either way, before they met Caster, the lives of the Master and the Servant were pretty peaceful.
