"Victor Frankenstein... he seems to have been investigating our news. If he doesn't have the idea of joining the plan, in order to have sufficient time to summon the Servant who will destroy the entire Singularity, it seems we have to deal with him first."
Paracelsus walked on the street, sorting out the intelligence he knew.
'Is this just too fast? The human Master has only descended for a day. If their movements are too slow and they can't find the crux of the problem for a long time, humanity will really be finished...'
Thinking and thinking, Paracelsus sighed.
Unfortunately, no matter what he thought, being summoned by a Demon God Pillar, the pinnacle of Summoning Arts, he had no room for resistance.
"By the way, Mephistopheles and Jack have been investigating for so long; why haven't they returned yet..."
Sensing something wrong, Paracelsus couldn't help frowning.
Thud thud thud thud...
Rapid footsteps approached quickly in his direction.
'This speed doesn't seem like something a normal human can achieve.'
Feeling bad, Paracelsus took out his Mystic Code, the prototype of the Azoth Sword, staring intently at the thick fog ahead.
The thick fog broke open, and Takumi, holding a flag, ran out from it.
Just when Paracelsus thought Takumi was going to attack him, or planned to have a routine pre-battle trash talk.
He saw Takumi glance at him, then turn around and run back into the thick fog.
His entire figure disappeared consequently.
"?"
Paracelsus slowly typed a question mark.
What is this Master doing? Running over just to take a look at me?
But the next second, Paracelsus understood what Takumi ran over for.
"[Clarent Blood Arthur: Rebellion Against My Beautiful Father]!"
Crimson light bloomed grandly in the thick fog where Takumi disappeared ahead. Electric arcs shot in all directions. The thick fog was wrapped by the huge magical aura, like clouds swept by a tornado. The surrounding thick fog gathered spirally and then spread out distortedly.
'Fck!!'*
Unleashing an ultimate move right upon meeting, and in the urban area too. You guys really are something!
Paracelsus watched with his scalp tingling, unable to stop cursing in his heart.
He hurriedly waved the ceremonial sword in his hand, attempting to construct Pseudo-Ether to release his Noble Phantasm.
Five elements turned into light clusters rotating around his body. His Noble Phantasm release speed was already considered fast among Noble Phantasms, but unfortunately, with the calculated striking the unprepared, he had just started brewing his Noble Phantasm when Mordred's Noble Phantasm had already charged up.
As Mordred swung down the royal sword in her hand.
The crimson beam of light flashing with unbridled lightning instantly dispersed large patches of surrounding thick fog, allowing both sides to see each other clearly.
Beside Mordred was Takumi holding the glowing Holy Flag, and behind him were two Author-type Servants holding glowing book Noble Phantasms.
A full four people!
After this fleeting glimpse, Paracelsus's vision was completely occupied by crimson.
The hastily released Noble Phantasm was completely no match for the beam used by Mordred. The colorful light was dispersed by the crimson in the blink of an eye.
Feeling the wind pressure and terrifying heat brought by Mordred's Noble Phantasm with his body, Paracelsus's mind went blank, leaving only a sentence—
'Doesn't this mean I don't need to worry at all?!'
Paracelsus Exit!
Sensing the only obstacle was defeated, Mordred hurriedly guided the power of the Noble Phantasm upwards, simultaneously trying her best to reduce the Noble Phantasm's output.
Hers was an A+ rank Anti-Army Noble Phantasm!
In a proper beam struggle, Paracelsus might not necessarily be an opponent, let alone him fighting hastily?
However, precisely because of the power of the Anti-Army Noble Phantasm, releasing it in this prosperous city might cause some terrifying destruction, so Mordred basically wouldn't use it.
Even if used, she had to learn from her Father and guide most of the output into the air.
Otherwise, even if many residents in London were dead now and it was generally much emptier, thousands or tens of thousands would still die.
"Go go go! No time to rest; there's one last one!"
Waiting until Mordred's Noble Phantasm energy completely converged, Hans Christian Andersen and Shakespeare put down the concealment of its magical fluctuations, and Andersen hurriedly urged.
At the same time, he took the lead towards their next destination—underground in the London Metro.
It was also the location of the Holy Grail in this Singularity, and the source of the magical fog shrouding all of London.
The two Author-type Servants could do limited things. For now, they could barely hide it from the final Makiri. If they waited a bit longer, they would definitely be discovered by him.
To achieve a quick victory, as said at the beginning, they had no time to rest.
Aside, Takumi, who used his Noble Phantasm to protect the surrounding buildings to prevent the residents inside from being killed by the aftermath, also put down his Noble Phantasm upon seeing this and hurriedly followed.
---
More than twenty minutes later.
"Strange..."
In the Great Underground Cavern, Makiri Zolgen looked at the huge machine embedded with the Holy Grail in front of him, suddenly feeling uneasy in his heart.
The machine in front of him was named [Angrboda], passionately built by his "ally" Babbage, using the Holy Grail as a power source. It could continuously produce magical fog. Shrouding the entire UK was only a matter of time.
And his plan was also very simple: find a way to summon a Servant who could utilize this magical fog shrouding all of Britain. With this Servant's power, activate the magical fog, thereby destroying all of London, or even all of Britain.
In his plan, Tesla, as a [Pioneer of the Stars], was the most suitable existence.
Unfortunately, summoning Heroic Spirits wasn't something you could do just because you wanted to. Even the Demon God Pillar, which could be called [Summoning Arts] itself, couldn't completely ignore the will of the summoned Heroic Spirit.
Now he could only ponder while modifying the summoning ritual, hoping to forcibly drag Tesla down or trick him down sometime.
Feeling his contract connection with Paracelsus still intact, Makiri gradually dispelled the uneasiness in his heart.
Just that Paracelsus's location seemed a bit far, seemingly having run to the outskirts of London at some point.
"Must have found another newly summoned Servant, right?"
Makiri thought so.
Perhaps because he constantly tried to summon Tesla on a large scale, the London Singularity was different from previous Singularities. Servants were summoned one after another.
Instead of being summoned all at once.
So he also didn't know if there was an existence among these successively summoned Servants that could replace Tesla. Therefore, he dispatched Paracelsus and Babbage and other Servants to search continuously in the city.
Even if not, tying back the summoned Servants could also add combat power to his side.
Truly killing two birds with one stone!
"[Clarent Blood Arthur: Rebellion Against My Beautiful Father]!"
"Hah?"
The sound of the Noble Phantasm True Name release, like thunder, rang out, instantly making Makiri shiver all over.
Subconsciously looking behind, that is, the direction the sound came from.
But only saw crimson light, nothing else.
The beam carrying terrifying heat and impact submerged Makiri's figure, hitting the huge machine [Angrboda] behind him directly.
After the crimson light flickered a few times, it completely dissipated.
Only then could one see a deep mark plowed out on the ground along the way. The hit [Angrboda] was also half shattered. The golden Holy Grail fell from it with two clangs, landing on the ground.
A black shadow suddenly rushed out, scooping up the Holy Grail.
"Phew..."
Looking at the Holy Grail in his hand, Takumi, who accelerated over using [Escapist], breathed a sigh of relief.
Then without saying a word, he used the device on his wrist to recover the Holy Grail.
