Chapter 50: Bloody Battle of Mion River

The Mion River, which is more than ten to twenty meters deep, has now become a massive water tank with flowing water.

The monsters housed in this bizarre tank are gigantic creatures summoned by Caster.

Rushing from the shore to the river, the vision that had been obscured by the thick fog created by Morgan's magic became clear again.

Only then did Artoria realize how much the sea demon had multiplied. She swung her sword fiercely, slicing through the tentacles in front of her that were two or three people wide.

However, the tentacles began to regenerate the moment they were severed, and other tentacles were attracted by the attack, quickly gathering around her and forcing her to retreat each time she cut one off.

Unlike the skirmish in the forest last night, there was indeed only one sea monster in the Mion River, but its countless tentacles were far more troublesome than those dozens of smaller sea monsters.

"Saber! Back off!"

Tatsuya's voice came, and Artoria leaped out of the water, evading the tentacles that were about to ensnare her. After a nimble somersault in the air, she landed beside Tatsuya.

Without Artoria having to ask, the water surface quickly solidified into ice after Tatsuya tapped it lightly with the end of his magic spear, extending toward the sea demon.

The tentacles that had been writhing and waving wildly gradually slowed and were frozen in an instant.

"Has the operation been sealed?"

Iskandar's chariot stopped mid-air.

He did not merely observe from the sky but used his Chariot to repeatedly attack the group of tentacles. However, his means of attack were limited. Whether it was lightning or weapons, they could only inflict minimal damage.

"Now is not the time for you to be sentimental, King of Conqueror" Tatsuya Suzuki raised his hand, and a strong wind suddenly blew across the river.

The two Servants quickly understood Tatsuya's plan.

First, use powerful magic to freeze the sea monster's movements, then employ other methods to sever the sea monster and its tentacles.

"Then I will take the lead! You two, don't get my chariot involved!"

Iskandar laughed and drove the chariot along the frozen river toward the sea monster, tearing apart the ice and sea creatures along the way.

But a more extensive attack was needed than a straight-line assault.

Artoria was already prepared.

Without any warning, Tatsuya's warrior instinct made him attack simultaneously with her.

"Strike Air!"

"Vacuum Wave."

A gale strong enough to tear a person apart swept across the Mion River, and as Iskandar's chariot flew into the sky, it carried all the other frozen sea monsters with it, crushing them.

But even so, the thick fog on the river was unaffected, showing no signs of dissipating.

The attack, which condensed a considerable amount of magical power, naturally caused a frenzy that affected both sides of the Mion River.

Waver and Irisviel, observing the battle from the shore, immediately realized that the wind pressure was about to hit them. They instinctively raised their arms to shield themselves. However, after closing their eyes for a long time, they only heard the sound of the wind passing by on both sides, with no other impact.

Upon opening their eyes, they saw clearly that the strong wind had been blocked by Morgan and diverted around their location.

And Morgan hadn't even lifted a finger.

"That's not enough," Morgan said calmly.

As soon as she finished speaking, the tentacles that had sunk into the water along with the ice began to grow wildly as if they had lives of their own, breaking through the surface and creating waves several meters high.

"That guy! Is he immortal?" Waver exclaimed in surprise, holding his head and stamping his feet anxiously.

A battle of this scale was beyond the capability of a rookie magician like him to influence.

He even envied Tatsuya a little for being able to fight alongside those heroic spirits.

"The thick fog in this area was created by you, Your Majesty the Witch of Britain." An elegant male voice sounded from the side.

A man in a dark red suit, holding a jeweled wand, walked towards them.

"You are——" Irisviel recognized.

Morgan glanced at him and said, "You are Sakura's father, the Master of the King of Heroes, Tohsaka Tokiomi?"

"I am not suitable to be called Sakura's father right now." Tokiomi smiled apologetically, "Her father is fighting on the Mion River."

"Can't you let your servant do something?" Morgan asked calmly.

Tokiomi smiled bitterly, "The King of Heroes has his own considerations."

As he spoke, he looked up at the sky. Through the thick fog, Waver and Irisviel could vaguely see a golden aircraft, which seemed to be a treasure made of gold and emeralds.

"Really?" Morgan didn't care. She turned and walked to the other side of the river bank. "The thick fog will soon spread to the whole of Fuyuki. Then, the people from the Holy Church and the Magic Association won't have to worry about covering up the facts."

"As the manager of the Fuyuki land, I am grateful." Tokiomi bowed, "But, I don't know what the witch wants to do at this moment——"

Morgan stopped and said, "That low-ranking magician servant said that it was his Master who wanted him to do this. How could an outsider who doesn't even know what the Holy Grail War is know how to use Command Spells to command Servants?"

The implication is that there must be someone behind the scenes, intending to interfere when the Holy Grail War begins to intensify.

"Then please allow me to accompany you as the head of one of the three major families in the Holy Grail War." Tokiomi hurriedly made the request.

If Morgan later kills Caster's Master, then the credit for defeating Caster will largely go to the Berserker camp.

At this point, Tokiomi was still thinking about getting a piece of the pie as legitimately as possible.

"That's not necessary. No matter what kind of help the magicians of this era want to give, they will only be a burden to me." Morgan refused coldly, and then turned around and added, "Of course, if you think you can be as capable as my husband, that's another matter."

After saying this, Morgan's figure disappeared into the thick fog.

When the three masters came to their senses, they found that the visibility on both sides of the Mion River had become shockingly low.

Even if he used all his magic to assist his vision, he could only barely see Tatsuya and the two servants fighting among the repeatedly regenerating sea monsters.

"Ah, that's why I'm talking about these heroes of the past…" Tokiomi sighed to himself.

Although Waver and Irisviel were wary of him to varying degrees, he had no intention of starting a fight here.

"Please rest assured, the main event right now is to defeat the Caster camp that has ignored the rules of the Holy Grail War and abandoned its secretiveness. I will not be an enemy of you two."

"That couldn't be better." Irisviel responded seriously, "We don't intend to fight secretly at this time."
