Facts proved that Shinji's choice was right. After realizing that the monsters were disappearing at an alarming speed, Caster, who had been dormant for a day, finally took action.
Although Caster was as careful to hide his traces as he was last night, Scathach still found some clues.
Caster left the city and moved southeast.
After receiving this message, Shinji immediately guessed the other party's destination - Einzbern Forest, where Saber is.
Gilles de Rais has an obsession with Joan of Arc that is difficult for ordinary people to understand. Since he believes that Saber is Joan of Arc, how could he give up his "dream" and "wish" because of this small "obstacle"
"Even hateful people can have their pitiful sides." Scathach sighed after hearing Shinji's analysis.
"But I won't forgive him just because he's pathetic."
As he spoke, Shinji swung his sickle and a monster lurking in the water, preparing for a sudden attack, was split into two.
"No matter what, he must die—Master, I can't leave for the time being, so I'll leave everything to you and Yustisa."
"Understood. A strong will is a prerequisite for becoming a qualified warrior. You are one step closer to becoming a warrior, my little Master."
After saying that, Scathach cut off the communication magic and jumped down from the top floor of an apartment building.
There is a black motorcycle parked in the carport on one side of the apartment. This is the vehicle that Tsuruno provided to Scathach. Scathach mostly relies on it to travel around the city these days.
Accompanied by a thrilling roar, the dark phantom broke the silence of the night.
Scathach moved quickly, but Caster moved even faster. Before the former left the city, the latter had already invaded the Einzbern Forest.
Caster was still alone, wearing a jet-black cassock with scarlet patterns stained on it, like blood, looming in the dark jungle, emitting an ominous evil aura.
This scene was captured by Einzbern’s barrier and, through Irisviel’s hands, was displayed on the crystal ball placed in the center of the conference room.
"Is this the Caster?"
It was the first time that Emiya Kiritsugu saw Caster, and Irisviel nodded at him.
"Where is his place?"
"Less than two kilometers northwest of the castle, Caster doesn't seem to have any intention of going further into the forest."
This answer made everyone in the conference room feel regretful. They knew that the Einzbern barrier was divided into two layers. The outer layer was for isolation and early warning, while the inner layer had a defense mechanism.
Caster was at the border of the barrier. If Caster went deeper into the barrier, Irisviel could use the power of the barrier to help Saber fight.
But Caster seemed to see through Irisviel’s motives and stopped at the outer edge of the barrier.
Those eyes, like those of a ferocious beast, slowly lifted up and met the gaze of Irisviel beside the crystal ball. He had already sensed the surveillance from the castle.
Caster raised his arms courteously and gave Irisviel a somewhat ridiculous gentlemanly greeting.
"Gilles de Rais, here for a visit."
The hard surface of the crystal ball began to shake, and the sound came from the surveillance location.
"I hope I can meet the beautiful Joan of Arc."
Irisviel was hesitating, Emiya Kiritsugu was also hesitating, Saber's left hand was injured, and they were worried about Saber facing Caster alone without any external help.
Caster seemed to see through the thoughts on the other side of the crystal ball and spoke in a tone that was both apologetic and arrogant.
"Because of the obstruction of the damned lackeys of God, I don't have much time. If you can't make up your mind, I will have to use some rough means. Please don't mind."
As he spoke, a thick book appeared in his hand. The cover of the book was wet and shining, and a piece of human skin was stuck on it. A huge amount of magic power surged from the human skin book, turning into substantial mist and spreading rapidly in all directions.
Caster began to flip through the book.
Every time you turn a page, a hideous monster will be born from the magic fog.
Amid the rustling sound of pages turning, an army of monsters quickly formed.
Among them, there are more than a hundred cannon fodder small sea monsters.
Eight tentacles that serve as Caster's personal guards.
There is no sign of Caster's summoning stopping. In the summoning channel opened by the "Luoyan City Textbook", even greater magical fluctuations are brewing.
This wave of magical power shook the large barrier that the Einzbern family had operated for sixty years, and also made Saber and others in the castle aware of the danger.
"This is the magic book left to me by my ally. With this book, I gained the spell to command the demon army and freed myself from the shackles of the abominable god. What do you think, Joan of Arc? No army gathered in Orleans in the past was as magnificent as this one."
Caster laughed, as if celebrating his victory.
Everyone knew that they couldn't continue to allow Caster to summon, otherwise not only Saber herself but everyone else in the castle would be in danger.
"Master, please give the order."
Saber stared at Irisviel, she was ready for battle.
At the same time, Emiya Kiritsugu nodded to his wife.
"Saber, go defeat Caster."
"Yes, sir."
The King of Knights' answer was unusually brief.
Just as Saber turned into a gust of wind and rushed towards the battlefield with an unstoppable momentum, the Einzbern Forest welcomed the second wave of visitors of the night.
This is a master and servant pair. The master wears a blue robe and has short lemon-yellow hair combed meticulously. Even when walking in the wilderness, he still holds his head high, making people feel his strong self-confidence - Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelud.
The follower was wearing a blue-gray tights that outlined his slender yet toned figure. His handsome face and the teardrop moles at the corners of his eyes made him an irresistible attraction to the ignorant girl - his real name was Diarmuid Odinah.
After escaping the explosion caused by Emiya Kiritsugu, the two moved to an abandoned factory. The factory was located near the national highway, and Caster's action of stopping passing vehicles with a hint was seen by Kenneth, so the two tracked Caster all the way to the Einzbern Forest.
Kenneth looked at the magic fog that had spread around him, then turned towards the direction of the castle and spoke slowly.
"Lancer."
Lancer got down on one knee.
"Deal with Caster."
"As you command, my Lord."
