Honestly, Little Sun is incredibly useful.
Whether it's clearing out minor enemies or fighting bosses, he excels at both.
*BOOM!*
One Eye Beam cleared out a good number of robot puppets. Then, he surged forward, his spear wreathed in golden flames, piercing through the steel puppets as if they were nothing.
"I'm here too! I'd look like a slacker if I didn't join in! Kill!"
Mordred charged out, sword held high, and swept her greatsword, shattering the robot puppets' legs, bodies, and arms.
"Tch, these youngsters nowadays just don't know how to take care of themselves. Don't push yourselves too hard; you need to balance work and rest~"
Child Gil said leisurely, hands clasped behind his head.
Mo Shuying glanced back at him, glaring.
"...Sigh, what can I say, I found a Master who loves to exploit his Servants. If I ever work myself to death, remember, every single one of your commands won't be innocent!"
Child Gil grumbled as he went into action. The Gate of Babylon is also a very effective Noble Phantasm against minor enemies. Once Child Gil joined in, his efficiency surpassed both Karna and Mordred.
With the three of them fighting, these robot puppets were nothing. They were all cleared out in two minutes, leaving only one mechanical puppet Servant holding a massive hammer standing there.
"This is as far as you go, Mr. Babbage."
Mo Shuying walked over and spoke. Karna and Mordred had already blocked Babbage's retreat route, though it seemed Babbage had no intention of leaving; otherwise, he would have run earlier.
"Is that so? Have all my toys been destroyed? Very good, indeed."
Babbage praised loudly. He raised the steel warhammer in his hand. Despite wielding a hammer, he was a mage.
"In that case, as your reward, I shall present this magnificent world to you! Come!"
Suddenly, Babbage began spewing steam wildly from his entire body, the white steam dyeing the surroundings white.
However, this white steam carried extremely high heat. An ordinary person would be scorched just by touching it, and the flowers, plants, and trees in the surrounding park had long since been cooked.
"Watch out! He's activating his Noble Phantasm!"
Karna instantly recognized that Babbage had activated his Noble Phantasm and was preparing to attack.
He immediately manipulated the shield on his shoulder to block himself. At the same time, Mash rushed to the front of the group. At such a moment, the party's shield-bearer truly lived up to its responsibility and mission!
"My Fantasy! My Ideal! My Dream! Behold!
The Splendid World of Ash!!"
Babbage suddenly leaped up, the steam gushing from his body transforming into a phantom of a steam world. The giant hammer in Babbage's hand began to spin, churning the immense power of the steam, and charged fiercely towards Mo Shuying and the others!
"Here it comes! O Sun, Become Armor!!"
"Noble Phantasm, deploy!"
Karna and Mash simultaneously released their Noble Phantasms to defend. Two shields, one large and one small, one white and one gold, appeared, completely blocking the impact of Babbage's descent!
Child Gil waved his hand, summoning a dozen shields to block the remaining shockwaves, but the surrounding heat was already incredibly high.
If they were ordinary people, they would already be in trouble by now, like Fujimaru Ritsuka.
"Ugh!"
The steam's impact sucked away all the surrounding oxygen, combined with the steadily rising temperature. This was far worse than a sauna.
Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately found it hard to breathe, their expression showing pain. Mo Shuying glanced over, and then!
"Deal with him, Gil!"
"Yes, yes!"
Child Gil grinned, and with a casual wave of his hand, a dozen light rings appeared around Babbage!
"Pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft pfft!"
Then, a dozen long-handled Noble Phantasms stabbed out, piercing through Babbage's body and pinning him in mid-air.
"Ugh..."
Babbage's armor was pierced through. Inside was a fantasy world like a Reality Marble, where Babbage's true form resided. However, with the armor damaged and no longer providing support, the power of the internal small world was fiercely compressed by the real world. Babbage's armor suddenly contracted and compressed, quickly becoming a large lump of iron that crashed to the ground with a thud, finally disappearing in a flash of light.
"Another one down..."
Mo Shuying spoke. No one detected a hint of happiness in his tone; instead, there was a certain worry.
"And then there's that spot."
Karna pointed to another location, the last of the three mist-generating points he had seen.
"Alright, let's deal with it quickly."
The group moved again.
Soon.
The old site of the London Mage's Association.
A group of people arrived before the ruins. The once mysterious headquarters of the Mage's Association was now a pile of rubble.
"I've been here before. There are no mages left, and I didn't detect any Servants either. Is this really the place?"
Mordred spoke. She had been here before during her patrols but hadn't sensed any Servants then. Now, however, the black mist continuously rising from the ruins indicated a problem.
"Sometimes, the enemy isn't just a Servant."
Mo Shuying said, and Mordred paused, surprised. If not a Servant, then what? Humans? That sounded ridiculous.
"The Mage's Association goes deeper than just its public-facing areas. The further down you go, the more mysterious it gets."
Mo Shuying tapped the ground with his foot several times. Beneath his feet lay a place filled with countless magical secrets.
"Underground? I hadn't paid attention to that. But there are some strange entities in these ruins that attack anyone who gets close. Be careful."
Mordred recalled being attacked by a swarm of books once. They were clearly magecraft books, but for some reason, they were sentient and had their own consciousness. The magecraft recorded in those books was bizarre and varied, and she didn't want to provoke them unnecessarily.
"Strange? You mean those things?"
Mo Shuying pointed, and Mordred turned, immediately seeing several books flapping their pages like butterflies as they flew towards them.
"Exactly! These weird books! They can cast all sorts of strange magecraft recorded within them! Everyone, be careful!"
Mordred raised her greatsword. Although she possessed Magic Resistance, it was only Rank B, which offered little defense against difficult or high-level magecraft. This was why she hadn't ventured deeper before.
Mo Shuying turned. This time, he didn't even need to speak. Child Gil raised his hand, and the Chains of Heaven shot out, intending to capture the books alive!
The Chains of Heaven appeared suddenly, and as an Anti-Divine Noble Phantasm, their strength was undeniable. The books were ensnared before they could react much.
Once bound, the books glowed, then unleashed various types of magecraft. Though their light quickly dimmed and they weakened, the surrounding area had been completely cleared.
"Heh, these books are quite unique. I wonder if I can keep them as pets. Taking them out for a walk occasionally sounds pretty good."
A faint smile finally appeared on Mo Shuying's lips, but the very next second—
*BOOM!*
A black beam of light suddenly burst through the ground and shot into the sky. The thin mist that had once again blanketed London began to converge on the black light, drawing all of London's magical energy and leylines towards the soaring pillar of light.
