go up on the stage

The Reincarnator faction had already begun to move, and all of this did not escape Kaoru's watchful eyes.

"What do you think, Fiore-san? Isn't this an amazing stage?"

Kaoru then looked at the crippled girl sitting in a wheelchair beside him.

Hearing her name being called, Fiore, who had not expected that Kaoru's power was truly beyond human comprehension, could only nod.

Especially when she learned that Merlin, often dubbed as the great sorcerer, was the servant he had summoned.

Not only that, the second figure that had appeared alongside him when he first arrived at the Yggdmillenia residence was also a servant.

And maybe the fame of this second servant was also no less renowned than Merlin, the great sorcerer.

This made Fiore begin to give up trying to understand just how powerful this lord named Kaoru truly was.

Back on the battlefield, Mordred was surprisingly aided by Atalanta and Achilles as they fought against Spartacus, who had turned into a monster.

Meanwhile, Sieg, assisted by Astolfo and Frankenstein, faced Avicebron and his golem, Adam.

Chiron, stationed in the rear, helped the homunculi fend off the summoned monsters from Semiramis.

On another front, Semiramis and Karna were struggling against Vlad III, who had transformed into his Dracula form, a transformation that was further strengthened by the fact that they were fighting in Romania, indirectly amplifying the power of Vlad's Dracula myth.

This put Karna and Semiramis, who were considered invaders within Romania, at a disadvantage.

Despite Karna's solar power, Vlad's regeneration was much stronger, and no matter how they attacked, Vlad would always recover perfectly.

Kaoru then checked the battle in the Hanging Gardens, where Jeanne was facing Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, a Ruler-class servant who had violated the Holy Grail War's rules.

However, in the midst of the battle, a figure very familiar to Jeanne appeared—her former comrade-in-arms from her time in the war, Gilles de Rais.

A comrade Jeanne had once respected, but also someone she deeply despised for the horrific deeds he committed during his life.

Thus, Jeanne attacked Gilles de Rais without hesitation.

While all this was happening, several large mana surges suddenly emanated from the forest.

Anyone highly sensitive to mana could instantly tell that these were servants.

"So, this is the anomaly Kaoru-san was talking about. As expected of Kaoru-san!"

Although Jeanne was still dealing with Gilles de Rais, she never ignored what was happening outside.

With her authority as a Ruler, she could easily sense that there was a group of masters and servants intending to disrupt this Holy Grail War.

Meanwhile, beside Kaoru, a servant whose face was perpetually shrouded in black mist rose from her throne.

After she released her camouflage, a strikingly beautiful woman became visible to Fiore.

She wore a dark, elaborate outfit that blended royal attire with sorcerous elements, often in shades of deep purple and black, symbolizing her connection to both nobility and the arcane.

Her dress was intricately detailed with patterns evoking ancient symbols and magical runes, hinting at her mastery over magic.

Her long, flowing silver hair cascaded in smooth waves down her back, and her piercing blue eyes reflected immense power and a cold, calculating demeanor.

"Hooo... it seems you're interested in something, Morgan-san?"

Kaoru, believing that his servant would not actively participate in this war, was surprised when she stood from her throne.

"Yes, lord husband, I sense a very familiar mana. And if I appear, it will surely make things more exciting for you, won't it?"

Without waiting for Kaoru's reply, Morgan quickly teleported to the battlefield.

"Kaoru-san, was that..."

"That's right, *that* Morgan—Morgan Le Fay!"

Fiore was stunned to learn that Kaoru's second servant was the queen of the fae from Arthurian legend.

When she had discovered that Kaoru's first servant was Merlin, she had already been shocked by the presence of the great sorcerer.

And now, with the addition of the fae queen, Fiore's heart nearly gave out from the surprise.

She then glanced at Kaoru's third servant, who was simply sitting and watching the battle while snacking.

Fiore began to think that Kaoru's third servant might also be someone connected to Arthurian legend, and perhaps Kaoru was a collector of such figures.

Moreover, as a lord, it would surely be easier for Kaoru to obtain relics connected to Arthurian legend.

Unfortunately, what Fiore didn't know was that Kaoru's third servant had nothing to do with Arthurian legend, and Kaoru wasn't actually a lord.

Kaoru had simply used himself and Merlin as catalysts to summon Morgan Le Fay.

But of course, Kaoru wasn't going to reveal that.

It all depended on how Fiore's imagination worked.

As for the third servant, it was purely a matter of luck.

When that servant appeared, even Merlin and Morgan had been slightly panicked.

Fortunately, that person had been summoned as a servant and wasn't in a berserk state, so with a little persuasion, it was enough to get him to follow Kaoru.

-----

On the battlefield, seven mysterious figures dressed in black cloaks suddenly appeared followed by another seven person with special traits.

Even though their identities were hidden, the presence of seven other figures beside them made it clear to everyone that they were a group of masters and servants.

However, two individuals displayed unnatural reactions when they saw the newly appeared servants.

"KING ARTHUR!!!!!!!"

"ARJUNA!!!!!!"

Mordred recognized a woman she knew all too well.

Artoria Pendragon, a figure of quiet strength, embodying the ideal of a noble and righteous king, and also Mordred's father.

Meanwhile, Karna, who recognized one of the figures among the new servants, immediately struck Vlad and threw him toward them.

Arjuna, a master archer and Karna's brother, radiated an aura of calm intensity and divine grace, embodying the essence of a noble warrior blessed by the gods.

Mordred and Artoria, Karna and Arjuna—two pairs of servants with complicated relationships were now brought together in the Holy Grail War.

But at the same time, the starry night sky suddenly turned pitch black, bringing a chilling and ominous atmosphere.

As the atmosphere shifted, the voice of a woman, melodious yet commanding, echoed through the air:

"'Tis a ruinous dream I cannot bear to see."

"No recompense, no salvation to be had."

"At the world's end, a bird sings of tomorrow."

"Let this be a sign...Roadless Camelot."

With each verse she spoke, dozens of pillars emitting a bluish-green light descended from the sky, striking the ground with explosive energy, destroying everything around them.

And now, it was Mordred and Artoria's turn to be shocked by the arrival of this figure.

Hovering in the air, the figure gazed down at the servants who were the target of her master.
