"Take this!"
The blazing gaze of the little sun!
*Boom!!*
The intense flames directly engulfed the Earth Elemental and the Fire Elemental.
The already shattered Earth Elemental disintegrated instantly, while the Fire Elemental frantically absorbed the flames, but cracks continuously appeared on its crystal body. Soon, countless flames erupted from within, causing it to explode.
"Water! Wind!!"
Just as the Eye Beam was about to rush into the Workshop, two elemental spirits, one blue and one green, reappeared. Surging water currents and roaring storms formed the final defense, ultimately blocking the attack.
"...Not bad."
Karna slowly wiped away the flames from the corner of his eye, admiring the two tottering elemental spirits.
Just then.
"To be called 'not bad' by a strong individual like yourself, I'm quite pleased."
A slender man emerged from the Workshop and walked over to the two elemental spirits.
He placed his hands on the two elemental spirits, and Mana flowed into them, causing them to recover quickly.
"You're the mastermind behind these mists? State your name, Caster. I don't kill nameless nobodies."
Karna pointed his Lancer at the opposing man.
The handsome, slender man effortlessly conjured new Fire and Earth Elemental spirits and spoke.
"I'm just an obscure Alchemist. You can call me Paracelsus."
Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim Paracelsus spoke calmly, an aura of rationality surrounding him. This legendary Alchemist had reappeared in the world as a Heroic Spirit.
"Paracelsus?"
Karna frowned. That name… I really haven't heard it before!
"Philippus Aureolus Theophrastus Bombastus von Hohenheim Paracelsus, if your alchemy is considered 'obscure,' then there are no excellent Alchemists in this world."
Mo Shuying stepped out. Since he had forced his opponent into the open, there was no need to hide anymore.
"You are??"
Hohenheim's heart stirred upon seeing Mo Shuying. Like Piglet Sister before, there was a faint sense of familiarity.
"I'm just an ordinary, obscure Assassin. My name isn't worth mentioning. Hohenheim, I ask you, why do you commit evil? Or rather, why do you help others commit evil? And where is the person who made you commit evil now?"
Mo Shuying vaguely remembered that this guy was working for someone else; the true mastermind was someone else entirely.
"I'm sorry..."
Hohenheim actually apologized. He bowed deeply with great remorse, then looked up and said,
"As a Servant summoned, I no longer have the right to choose. I'm merely following orders. Although my dear friend's orders fill me with revulsion, I cannot resist. I know I have committed countless evils, but I'm afraid I cannot surrender and let you do as you please. My apologies again. From now on, I will fight to the very end."
Hohenheim regretfully pulled out a Demonic Sword—an Elemental Demonic Sword, very familiar to Mo Shuying.
At the same time, inside the Workshop! Inside the surrounding buildings! Numerous white Clay Dolls appeared, with circular mouths, roaring as they charged!
"It seems further talk is pointless, Hohenheim. I'll send you on your way and end your crimes."
Mo Shuying sighed and stepped forward.
*Whoosh!*
He *Flashed* in front of Hohenheim, their gazes meeting face-to-face. The next second, Mo Shuying's fist had pierced Hohenheim's chest.
"Ugh... so... so fast."
Hohenheim showed a surprised expression, looking down at the arm that had pierced his chest. It was too fast; he didn't have any time to react.
His heart destroyed, his Spirit Origin shattered, Hohenheim still smiled.
"To possess such power... and you still say you're an ordinary Assassin? But you have my aura on you... So that's it. Did my power help you?"
"..."
Mo Shuying looked at Hohenheim with a complex expression. Just as Hohenheim said, Hohenheim's Class Card had always been used and cherished by him.
"Yes, it helped me a lot. Thank you."
Mo Shuying nodded in thanks. Then, Hohenheim disappeared with a smile.
The surrounding elemental spirits and Clay Dolls, now without a controller, shattered and collapsed. The surging mist also began to dissipate, eventually vanishing.
"Is that it? Is it resolved?"
Mordred walked over, carrying her Saber. She felt like she hadn't participated at all.
"What else do you want? To fight for hundreds of rounds? I don't have that much free time. There are two more places. Solving them quickly means you can get off work sooner, right?"
Mo Shuying turned around. Karna nodded, then pointed in another direction.
"There, there's one more."
"Alright, let's keep going."
The group moved quickly, and in less than ten minutes, a thin mist had already settled over London again.
This was already the result of having lost one mist-maker; if Hohenheim were still around, the mist would probably have become extensive by now.
"These misty particles are huge, and they smell of machine oil, with Mana mixed in. It seems the Servant controlling the Mechanical Dolls is up ahead."
Child Gil spoke.
Mash, standing by, brightened, feeling as though many figurines awaited it ahead.
*Rumble!*
The group soon arrived at a park, or rather, a place that used to be a park.
Now, the park was filled with numerous Mechanical Dolls, large and small, spewing steam, standing ready for battle. In the midst of these Mechanical Dolls, a Servant, very much resembling a Mechanical Doll itself, sat there, belching grey smoke from its back, the grey steam rising straight into the sky, polluting the entire area.
"Target acquired! Master, should I engage?"
The warlike Karna asked, though his face showed no expression, those familiar with him knew his desire for battle was surging.
*Rumble!*
Before Mo Shuying could give an order, the Mechanical Dolls in the park began to riot.
*Boom!!*
The Servant sitting in the middle of the park, even more so, erupted with black smoky flames from its back, rumbling as it stood up. Its several-meter-tall body was like a fortress.
"Are you enemies?!"
A dull sound, like grinding machinery, rang out. That Mechanical Doll-like Servant commanded its army of Mechanical Dolls to advance towards Mo Shuying.
Seeing that Mo Shuying and the others didn't respond,
"Hmph!!"
*Buzz!!*
Massive amounts of steam spewed from the seams of his armor, making a sound like boiling water. His voice suddenly became high-pitched, vibrating as he spoke.
"I am Charles Babbage! I have no valor, no grand achievements, no honor, but I possess a heart that wishes to change the world! You, do not stand in my way!"
*Rumble!*
Hundreds of Mechanical Dolls suddenly accelerated, each spewing steam as they charged towards Mo Shuying. Karna stepped forward, golden flames already burning in his right eye.
"Brahmastra Kundala!!"
