Child Gil just killed someone.
His opponent was named Mephistopheles.
An evil sinner, branded with the name of a demon.
Mephistopheles wasn't human, but he wasn't a demon either. He always appeared as a clown, which was actually because his appearance had been twisted by a demonic pact.
And it wasn't just his face and body that were twisted, but his mind as well.
This guy enjoyed tormenting humans, using his power to hypnotize them, then creating terrifying bombs and attaching them to people.
Just now, when Child Gil fought him, he was quickly surrounded by dozens of hypnotized humans, each strapped with a bomb.
Their spirits were dead, and their bodies had been tormented beyond recognition, but they were still human, still alive, at least.
However, the bombs had already fused with them. Even if Child Gil didn't act, these walking bombs would self-detonate. Even killing Mephistopheles wouldn't change the outcome.
So, before these "bombs" could self-detonate, Child Gil acted, swiftly destroying them with lightning speed, and then proceeded to kill Mephistopheles. Now, in that alley, only crushed fragments remained.
Child Gil felt a certain discomfort about killing those innocent humans. The playful banter with Mordred offered a brief moment of relief, but it was quickly interrupted by others.
*"Rumble!!"*
Giant robot puppets and white clay figures reappeared, and their numbers were more than double what they had been before.
Gazing at the approaching figures, Mo Shuying looked at Karna.
"Did you note the location where the mist appeared?"
"Yes, it's clear. If they don't move."
"Good. Then we don't need to waste time with these iron guys. Karna, just take us there directly."
Mo Shuying spoke, and Karna nodded.
"Follow me."
With that, Karna turned and led the group towards one of the birthplaces of the Mana Mist, a Magecraft Workshop.
London is a city steeped in magic. The Mage's Association was once located in London, though now only ruins remain, completely deserted.
Because this place was once filled with mages, it was quite normal for some mages to create a Magecraft Workshop. For mages specializing in creation, mineralogy, or botany, having their own workshop was essential.
The place Karna was leading them to this time was an apparently abandoned Magecraft Workshop. As they approached, they could see a wisp of mist escaping from it in the distance, attempting to envelop all of London once again.
The group stopped, and then…
"There's a Servant's presence inside, seems to be a Caster."
Child Gil spoke. Now that the mist had dispersed, his detection abilities had recovered significantly.
"Caster? Just one?"
Mordred leaned closer and asked.
Child Gil paused, then turned his head to look at Mordred and said,
"Why did you follow us?"
Child Gil looked at Mordred, completely speechless.
Mordred glared at Child Gil.
"I came out to patrol to find the creator of the mana, and then cleave them with my sword to solve the problem. Now that I've found them, of course I'm coming along."
Mordred began to explain the situation in London to everyone, and why she was there.
Unlike previous summons where she had a Master, this time Mordred was summoned without one.
She didn't know what the purpose of her summoning was, nor how many Servants had been summoned. Everything was chaotic.
But seeing humanity in peril, this knight still chose to save them.
Another Servant shared her ideals. Unlike Mordred, who excelled in combat, that one was a cunning individual.
Mordred had come out today to patrol the surroundings, hoping to find the source of the mist. She hadn't expected to run into Mo Shuying and the others, which was truly an unexpected gain.
"If you're willing to help, it would be a huge boost to our strength."
Mo Shuying thought highly of Mordred's combat prowess.
Mordred, uncharacteristically, blushed at the sudden praise, then covered it up with a loud laugh.
"Hahaha! Mo Mo, you have such good judgment, unlike some midgets who act cheeky despite their size, even trying to scheme against my father king! Hmph!"
Mordred was practically reciting Child Gil's ID. Child Gil's eye twitched uncontrollably, and he looked ready to draw his sword.
"Alright, let's solve the problem first, then you can bicker."
Mo Shuying shook his head slightly. Mordred and Child Gil's playful squabbling, to him, seemed like two children arguing, but for now, they needed to focus on the main task.
"Let me charge straight in!"
Karna raised his spear and pointed it at the workshop. Mo Shuying thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Alright! Gil and Master, stay alert to your surroundings. Mash, protect Ritsuka. Karna, you go on the offensive. If they don't come out... then make sure they can't come out!"
Mo Shuying gave the command. Karna nodded and charged forward.
Karna rapidly approached the workshop, and as soon as he got close, he triggered its defense system.
"Beep beep beep~"
Sirens blared, and irregular crystals appeared on the walls surrounding the workshop. Mana surged forth, then unleashed various elemental mana rays at Karna!
"Hmph!"
Facing the attack, Karna swept his spear, shattering a few rays that came too close. Then, he reached for his shoulder, and Kavacha and Kundala shone with golden light, appearing before him to block the incoming beams.
Next, Karna leaped up, soaring high into the air, and gripped the golden spear in his reverse hand!
"Brahmastra! Cover the Earth!!"
Karna possessed multiple Noble Phantasms! This was one of them!
"Whoosh!!"
Golden flames instantly enveloped the spear. This scene was somewhat reminiscent of Cú Chulainn's Gae Bolg. The next second, the Noble Phantasm was thrown! It hurtled towards the workshop!
Faced with an attack of this magnitude, the enemies inside the workshop clearly didn't choose to sit idly by. A rational voice rang out!
"Earth Elemental!! Block it!"
"Rumble!!"
In front of the workshop, a brown Earth Elemental rapidly solidified. This was a crystal entirely condensed from earth elements. Although called an Earth Elemental, it was an artificial construct created by humans, characterized by its hardness! Harder than diamond!
"Boom!"
The golden spear, wreathed in golden flames, slammed hard into the Earth Elemental! In an instant, the Earth Elemental began to crumble. Against a true Noble Phantasm, such an artificial spirit was difficult to withstand.
"Fire Elemental!"
That rational voice spoke again, and then a massive, fiery red crystal appeared. As soon as this crystal emerged, the golden flames on the golden spear were absorbed; it could actually devour flames!
"Hmm?"
Karna's eyebrows rose at this sight. He raised his hand and pulled! The golden spear returned to his hand, and then a golden flame bloomed in Karna's right eye!
"A true hero slays enemies with his eyes! Hah!"
"Whoosh!"
A terrifying golden flame shot forth from Karna's eye! Instantly engulfing both elemental spirits. This was another way to use Brahmastra Kundala, known as the Eye Beam!
