"Curse and Magic Potion!"
The light of the Curse landed on Melusine, and the Magic Potion bottle shattered on the ground, spreading various powders and liquids. The potions interacted, creating many miraculous effects!
A strange light appeared around Melusine. She could feel her speed and strength weakening. Though it wasn't enough to completely incapacitate her, this feeling of weakness greatly annoyed her.
"Damn humans!"
Melusine utterly detested humans, not just psychologically but also biologically. Being attacked by humans made her rage surge uncontrollably!
"You'll all die!!"
*"CRASH!"*
Azure blue water currents erupted around Melusine, rapidly expanding and instantly turning into a tidal wave that crashed outwards!
The two Lords immediately retreated, but as they did, the power of the Curse faded, and the Magic Potion's power was washed away by the currents. Melusine slowly raised her head from the water! Several Dragon Scales had already appeared on her once pretty cheeks!
"Ah!!"
With a loud shout, Melusine, now in her dragon-human form, burst forth with incredible speed! She wielded two swords, simultaneously thrusting them at the two Lords!
The speed was too great! The two Lords, not proficient in close combat, could barely react.
However, the Lords weren't the type to watch their teammates get cut down without acting!
*"BOOM!"*
Hard granite shot up from the ground. The Lord from the Mineralogy Department had made their move, followed by the Lords from the Archaeology and Astronomy Departments, who also displayed their skills.
As the battle began here, the human side, with their numerical advantage, suppressed the two Fairy Knights.
Meanwhile.
Lorelei, Bartholomew, and another white-haired elder quietly made their way to the node, which was where the Fairy Queen was located.
Not far from them was Shuten Doji, who was using Presence Concealment.
Tomoe Gozen was also in the rear, observing the other Lords' battle, ready to intervene at any moment. Shuten Doji, on the other hand, was with Lorelei's group, beginning their Decapitation Strike.
Since one Fairy Knight hadn't appeared yet, not all the Lords had made their move. The elder, closely following the group, was one of the top-tier members among the twelve Lords, a Mage of the Color rank, whose strength was no less than Bartholomew's.
The elder was Rufus of the Yulifis Family, the Lord of the Necromancy Department, a figure of great status and power.
It's worth noting that Rufus was Professor Kayneth's prospective father-in-law. He had high hopes for Professor Kayneth and even gave him his daughter, Sola-Ui. Unfortunately, in a Holy Grail War, both his daughter and prospective son-in-law perished.
Although his daughter wasn't his direct heir and wasn't extremely important to him or his family, Professor Kayneth's death greatly displeased him.
This was also why he disliked Waver; he believed Waver had indirectly caused Professor Kayneth's death. If Professor Kayneth had summoned The Great Emperor, they might have won the Holy Grail War.
However, dwelling on that now was useless. As fellow Lords, Rufus couldn't act against Waver, but his dislike was genuine.
As the four approached.
"Tristan" at the node gritted his teeth.
"Those two are utterly useless! Mother, please finish the connection at ease; I will deal with these bugs."
With that, a longbow appeared in the red-haired princess's hand. She lightly tapped her high heels on the ground and soared into the air, drawing her bow and aiming at Lorelei and the others who were approaching. Suddenly, she released the string!
*"TWANG!"*
With a snap of the bowstring, a large number of sound wave arrows suddenly condensed around Lorelei and the others!
"Watch out!"
Lorelei shouted, and the next second, the four were engulfed in an explosion!
"Hmph! We've been discovered!"
Lorelei leaped out of the smoke, a glove on her right hand. The vibrations from the glove blocked all the incoming attacks.
And behind her.
*"WHOOSH!"*
Bartholomew and Rufus jumped out one after another, also unharmed.
"Our King! This little girl is mine to handle; you two continue forward!"
Rufus whispered to Lorelei, then clapped his hands together with a forceful smack!
*"WOOOOOOOSH~"*
It was as if the Gate of the Underworld had opened at Rufus's chest, and countless spectral spirits roared forth! They transformed into an army of undead, charging towards the Fairy Princess.
"Let's go!"
Lorelei decisively left the Fairy Princess to Rufus. This was part of their plan, and besides, they had a Servant as backup; there would be no problem!
"None of you are getting past!"
The Fairy Princess drew her bow and fired arrows, a barrage of sound wave arrows exploding the undead. Seeing Lorelei's and the other's path, the Fairy Princess aimed at them! But suddenly!
"My poison~ has no antidote~"
A faint, strange fragrance drifted into the Fairy Princess's nose! The Fairy Princess's body trembled, and she couldn't help but go limp.
"Poison!"
The Fairy Princess couldn't help but look back, only to see Shuten Doji drinking.
Shuten Doji took a long swig, then smiled and pointed behind the Fairy Princess. The Fairy Princess spun around abruptly! The next second, she was engulfed by a massive horde of undead.
As the three Fairy Knights found themselves at a disadvantage, the tide of the battle began to turn in humanity's favor.
The Mages pressed their advantage, victory seemingly within reach.
Mo Shuying and Waver stood together, quite bored.
"Why aren't you going? Aren't you a Lord too?"
Mo Shuying spoke, looking at the battlefield, as the two chatted idly.
"I'm well aware of my own abilities; this kind of battle isn't for me. If my disciple were here, perhaps I could put up a fight."
Waver lit a cigarette. Mo Shuying turned to look at him, watching him tuck the cigarette pack into his waistband. Click!
"Looks like this situation is wrapping up, boring. No chance for me to get involved. Oh well, didn't one of the Lords get injured? I know a bit of Healing Spell. Take me to see him."
Mo Shuying was bored, and suddenly remembered there was a severely injured Lord. He could go help heal him and earn some goodwill.
"Magdaniel? I think he's in the back. Let's go check."
With that, the two walked back together, finally arriving in front of a tent.
"Gentlemen? Our master is quite severely injured and needs rest."
A Mage stood at the entrance, likely a member of the Magdaniel family.
"This gentleman possesses Magecraft that can help Mr. Magdaniel recover."
Waver spoke. Although his status at the Clock Tower wasn't high, as a Lord, his words still carried some weight.
"This…"
The Mage at the entrance was a bit flustered, unsure how to proceed, when at that moment,
"Come in."
A male voice came from inside the tent.
"Yes, please come in, gentlemen."
With the command, the Mage immediately opened the tent flap. Mo Shuying and Waver entered, seeing a man sitting on the bed, his upper body bare.
"Cough, cough, heh heh, Second, you've seen me in quite a pathetic state."
The man was well-built, but his chest was bandaged, and the bandages were already stained with blood.
Waver frowned and stepped forward. He could tell how serious the injury was. He turned to look at Mo Shuying, his gaze asking, Can you even treat an injury like this?
Mo Shuying walked forward and raised his hand.
"*Star Infusion!*"
