The Clock Tower has twelve departments and twelve Lords.
Excluding Magdaniel from the Individual Foundation Department, who is no longer active, there's Bartholomew Lorelei from the Forensics Department.
Bartholomew from the Creation Department.
Solonia from the Individual Foundation Department.
Yulifis from the Spiritualism Department, an old man who looks particularly gloomy.
The Modern Magecraft Department's Lord is El-Melloi II, Waver.
Then there's Gaius Ling from the Animal Department, skilled in creating Homunculus Beasts and transformation Magecraft. He's the one who spoke up for Lorelei and is actually supported by the Bartholomew family.
Brisisan from the Inheritance Department. Legend has it their family possesses forbidden knowledge, being descendants of one of Solomon's disciples. However, the current Lord's strength is quite ordinary, which goes to show that the position of Lord isn't always tied to power.
Next is Acherlot from the Plant Department, dressed in traditional witch attire with what appear to be special potion bottles at her waist. She'd definitely be throwing things in a fight.
And Animusphia from the Astronomy Department, which is the young director's family, though they've fallen on hard times, and the current Lord is just a young girl.
Finally, there's Jigumale from the Curse Department and Meastya from the Archaeology Department. While they are all Lords, their strengths truly vary wildly and are inconsistent.
Moreover, some among them aren't good at fighting, or even don't want to fight. So, when Lorelei initially asked the remaining Lords to stop the three Fairy Knights, they were quite troubled.
It wasn't that they didn't want to stop them; they simply couldn't.
There are only a few truly powerful individuals among the Lords. While various families still have formidable members, the Six Fairy Clans are no pushovers either. Excluding the rare royal family, there were many fairies from the other clans—Wind, Earth, Fang, Wing, Mirror, and King—who entered the Spirit Tomb this time.
The Clock Tower's fighting forces had already been dispersed. Fortunately, their obstruction prevented the massive Magecraft Circuit from activating.
But now, things were looking up.
They had two additional Servant combatants. This should at least be enough to block the attacks of two Fairy Knights, right? As long as they could hold off two, the remaining Lords could team up against one—that would be effortless!
And so!
The full-scale offensive against the fairies began.
"Charge!"
A large number of Mages in their robes launched their attacks. They had been holding back for a long time, and after being informed that today would be the decisive battle, they could finally unleash all their accumulated fury!
Meanwhile, within a node where a massive Magecraft Circuit intertwined, three Fairy Knights were poised to strike.
"These humans seem very serious this time. Have they finally decided to go all out?"
The beautiful girl with red hair and clothes wasn't happy. She was tired of fighting humans. She thought humans were like insects—you could easily crush them, but new ones would quickly emerge from everywhere.
"Princess, leave these human ants to us. You must protect the Queen well."
Beside her stood a tall fairy woman in heavy armor, exuding an incredibly composed presence.
"Barghest, the enemy is coming fiercely. Don't charge too deep later, lest I can't keep an eye on you."
There was another Fairy Knight, a cute, petite girl in light armor, wielding two longswords.
Despite carrying longswords, this girl's class was Lancer. She was Melusine, a Fairy Knight transformed from Lancelot's Spirit Origin.
"Alright, alright! So annoying! Melusine! Hmph, let's have another match today. You won last time, but I'm definitely winning this time! If I win this time, I want you to prepare 10 portions of Fairy Pie for me!"
Barghest, who possessed Gawain's Spirit Origin, charged out after speaking, clearly wanting to get a head start.
"Hey, hey, hey! I haven't even agreed to your wager yet! That one... Your Majesty, Princess, Lancelot! I'll be right back!"
Melusine also turned and, with a pair of dragon wings extending from her back, quickly flapped them and flew off.
Accompanying the two Fairy Knights were numerous fairy clans.
Each clan had its own characteristics; apart from the Mirror Clan, all were skilled fighters. Neither the fairies nor the humans employed any fancy tactics. Since they had already launched a full-scale attack, they would crush their opponents head-on!
*BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!*
For a time, explosions continuously echoed on the second floor. Various attacks collided and detonated, and intense energy waves spread ceaselessly.
The air was filled with chaotic Mana, but even such a battle failed to shake the massive Mana Circuits.
Mo Shuying stood at the very back of the battlefield, observing the situation. It was his first time seeing such a grand battle up close. He never expected to witness such a fight in modern times. How fantastical, he thought.
"They're here!"
Someone shouted, and Mo Shuying looked up, immediately spotting two streaks of light flying toward them.
A blue and a red streak of light, like wild beasts, plunged into the Mages' battle group. As sword light flashed, the slaughter began!
Barghest wielded Gawain's Holy Sword, while her left hand clutched several Mana chains.
The Holy Sword spun, and no Mage could withstand its might.
Melusine was equally agile, with a fairy Holy Sword in each hand. Her petite body was incredibly light, like a butterfly flitting through the bodies of Mages. The Mages' Mana shields were utterly useless against her attacks; anyone she passed through was basically bisected at the waist!
"Damn it! How could I let you take the lead!"
Seeing Melusine "mowing down" the enemies, Barghest grew anxious. If she lost, she wouldn't get any pie, and that would be very upsetting!
"Kill!"
With that, Barghest unleashed her Mana, red Mana wrapping around her greatsword. As she swept it, a wave of destruction spread out! Mages shattered in her path.
"Haha! I'm in the lead now! Keep going!"
Barghest laughed heartily, completely unburdened by the act of taking a life; if anything, it only made her more excited!
But just as she gathered Mana again, preparing to strike once more,
"Roar!"
A low growl! A Magecraft Array suddenly unfolded beneath Barghest's feet! Immediately after, a gigantic maw shot up from the ground, swallowing Barghest whole in one bite!
"Summon Evil Spirit Dog! You detestable Fairy Knight! Become fodder for the hounds!"
Unbeknownst to them, the Lords had already joined the fray.
The one who summoned the Evil Spirit Dog was Gaius Ling, and the Evil Spirit Dog was a Homunculus Beast he had created!
"Barghest!"
Melusine saw Barghest being devoured and turned to rescue her, but two Lords suddenly appeared before her, and the Mages, already prepared, immediately cast their Magecraft!
In an instant! Curses! Potions! All were unleashed upon Melusine!
