Arash / He Smiled Like a Child

Even if she is just a tool, it doesn't matter. As long as she can help her Father King in the slightest, she will be content.

So now Mordred moved, faster than Lancelot, and crimson lightning erupted from her body, a terrifying aura bursting forth.

This is a blessing called "Rampage," which allows Mordred to unleash her Noble Phantasm without restraint, maximizing her violence.

"Wait!" Lancelot instinctively tried to stop Mordred, feeling that they should conserve their strength and report the information here.

However, Mordred is faster than Lancelot.

Or rather... while Lancelot was still in shock at the appearance of Servant this caliber, Mordred had already rushed over.

"..."

Seeing Mordred charging towards him, the 'swordsman' wearing a black robe and a skull mask didn't say much. He simply flicked his black robe slightly.

"Crimson Lightning!" Mordred shouted. She wanted to unleash her Noble Phantasm, but the distance was so close that she couldn't unleash Noble Phantasm immediately. So she could only unleash Crimson Lightning to attack the unknown Servant.

Crimson lightning shot out from Mordred's sword, instantly striking the skeleton swordsman's black robe.

"How is this possible?!" Lancelot exclaimed in shock, for Mordred's attack had not caused any damage to the black-robed figure at all!

"Why?!" Mordred was also very surprised, but she couldn't be surprised now, because an ancient and unremarkable black stone greatsword was coming down towards her head.

Die!

Mordred didn't know why those words came to his mind. If he were to be hit squarely by this attack, he would surely die!

"Clang!!"

Lancelot rushed forward to help Mordred withstand the attack. He felt a slight weight on his body, realizing how terrifying the skeleton swordsman's strength was!

So this guy is a Saber-class Servant after all?!

"Let's stop here." The skeleton swordsman said calmly. He flicked his black robe slightly, enveloping Mikaela, and then disappeared into the desert like a ghost.

"Call!"

Lancelot was covered in sweat, but he breathed a sigh of relief, clearly having been frightened.

The skeleton swordsman clearly didn't want to kill Mordred and himself. Although his motives were unknown, if he had really intended to attack, the two of them would have been dead without a doubt.

Because with just one sword strike, Lancelot felt an absolute suppression of power.

It's not just about strength, because if it were just about strength, Lancelot could be fearless; he's a knight who makes his living through skill! He may have great strength, but he also has ways to deal with things.

But the one just now was different; the aura of death emanating from the sword chilled Lancelot to the bone.

"Huh?" Holmes was stunned.

What's going on?! You only saved that maid, what about me? Shouldn't I have saved her too?!

"..."

Holmes took off running. Mordred and Lancelot were both in a state of shock. If he didn't run now, he would be dead if they reacted.

"Don't run!!"

At this moment, Lancelot realized that the terrifying Servant was protecting the one dressed as a maid, not the male Servant.

"Would I be an idiot not to run?" Holmes thought to himself, "Holy crap!" He was starting to regret standing by and watching.

Others have powerful figures to help them out, but where do I get powerful figures to help me out?

"Stop right there!!!" Mordred snapped out of his daze and charged at Holmes without a word.

Letting two Servant escape is already a grave sin; if we were to let this one Servant as well, it would be a testament to our incompetence.

On the other side, after rescuing Mikaela, King Hassan released him from his black robe and said calmly, "Contractor, you do not need to fight to the death with the knights. Your goal is the gods in the Holy City."

"Hmm." Mikaela nodded slightly. He stepped out of King Hassan's black robe and said with a hint of helplessness, "My original target was that god, but those two are determined to stop me, so I have to defeat them."

Lancelot and Mordred are not Mikaela's targets; the Lion King is the real scourge.

Mikaela knew this, but sometimes, just because he knew it didn't mean the world would revolve around him.

"Grandpa, how did you know I was in trouble?" Mikaela looked at King Hassan and called out "Grandpa" very easily. According to their ages, King Hassan could easily be Mikaela's ancestor.

In the mental space, King Hassan also fought with Mikaela several times.

Every time, Mikaela could not withstand three moves from King Hassan.

"..."

Seemingly because of the title 'Grandpa', King Hassan paused for a moment. He was silent for a while before speaking, "I went to assassinate the Pharaoh King who obtained the Holy Grail, but the immortality inside the Pharaoh King's temple is too strong. Even I cannot kill him easily."

"This..." Mikaela didn't know what to say. It seemed that Ramesses II had been beheaded by King Hassan.

"Because I couldn't kill the Pharaoh King immediately, I chose to retreat temporarily. On my way back, I happened to encounter the contractor," King Hassan said calmly, as if rescuing Mikaela was merely a casual act.

"Then, contractor, begin your journey. If needed, I will answer your call." King Hassan continued walking into the depths of the desert, not intending to travel with Mikaela.

Everyone has their own path to walk; this was just an 'accident'.

Because it was an accident, King Hassan stepped in to help Mikaela avoid unnecessary magic consumption, and also allowed Mordred and Lancelot to survive.

If the three of them had fought, Mikaela would definitely have eliminated them completely! She would have killed Mordred and Lancelot no matter what.

Since the magic power has already been used up, we might as well use more to kill the two powerful Servant under the Lion King's throne.

Chapter 340 Arash

King Hassan left; he had saved Mikaela just like that, and then quickly departed.

Clearly, he didn't want to influence Mikaela's will.

After King Hassan left, Mikaela did not follow him, as he had his own things to do.

The world hasn't been ravaged by the Lion King's holy spear yet. Although there are some monsters and refugees on the road, they are harmless and can be avoided.

To resolve a Singularity, the most basic requirements are strength and influence.

Mikaela is quite powerful. If given enough magic, the Lion King wouldn't be a difficult opponent to defeat.

However, the Lion King is still a bit too weak compared to the next boss, so in this Singularity, Mikaela will choose to preserve most of her strength and intend to take advantage of the situation to fight the Lion King.

The Lion King's overall power is not yet fully formed. This can be seen from the knights that Lancelot and Mordred brought. Unlike in the future, they do not yet have a large number of Purification Knight who can rival ordinary people.

"It's a pity that Holmes isn't a combat-type Servant." Mikaela walked across the desert and sighed deeply. If Holmes were a good fighter...

He might pull the other party over to serve as additional fighting force.

However, he has no intention of fighting the Servant. Perhaps, just like in the original story, he came to this Singularity only to investigate something, and what happens in this Singularity is none of his business.

Because of Holmes's mindset, Mikaela did not suggest that King Hassan take Holmes with him when they left.

Holmes is probably being hunted down by Mordred and Lancelot right now.

"Sigh... It's difficult. To completely resolve this Singularity, we must first address the magic problem. As for the magic problem... there is a solution."

Walking in the desert, Mikaela once again transformed into Victorious. In this state, she was able to calm down and deduce the most advantageous information from various sources.

Even in Victorious's transformed state, Holmes didn't gain much advantage over her.

Therefore, it is clear that even if the transformation is not power-type, it still has many benefits for Mikaela; it just depends on whether she can continue to develop it.

First, regarding the issue of magic power, Mikaela has two options. The first is to do what Fuyuki City did: find an area rich in magic power, stay there for a period of time, and absorb about a year's worth of magic power using the Holy Grail within her heart.

The second method is to directly take the Holy Grail. For example, in Romania, Mikaela, Emiya Kiritsugu, Irisviel, and others raided the base, took the Holy Grail, and almost drained its magic power.

Currently, there are two people who possess the Holy Grail in this Singularity: the Lion King and Ramesses II, whose head was cut off by King Hassan.

The Holy Grail in the Lion King's hand is the true Holy Grail, the Holy Grail that God gave to mankind in legend.

The Lion King used this Holy Grail to grant the Knights of the Round Table power, greatly increasing their overall strength.

The Holy Grail in Ramesses II's hands was a pure magical Holy Grail created by Goetia, and it did not grant any human power to others.

If Mikaela wants to quickly gain magic power, she must obtain one of the Holy Grail.

Accumulating magic power slowly takes at least several years. Singularity don't have that much time to slowly grind it up, Lostbelt are more like that.

The Lion King's Holy Grail is obviously unlikely, since it's questionable whether the opponent's Holy Grail even still exists.

In the original storyline, her Holy Grail only appeared in the introduction and never actually appeared.

"Ramesses II ..." Mikaela fell into deep thought as she walked across the desert. In a sense, obtaining the Holy Grail from that Pharaoh King was not difficult; all she needed to do was gain his approval or defeat him.

Ramesses II did not particularly value the Holy Grail. He shared Gilgamesh's sentiment that it was his treasure and that anyone else should prove themselves capable of obtaining Holy Grail.

Then what's wrong with me giving it to them?

But if any bandits try to steal the Holy Grail, I will not give it up so easily.

Gilgamesh and Ramesses II gave the Holy Grail to Fujimaru Ritsuka, essentially because the latter proved his ability to obtain the Holy Grail from them.

Rather than attributing the Holy Grail to Fujimaru Ritsuka, it would be more accurate to say that Fujimaru Ritsuka earned the recognition of the two kings through his own abilities.

"We're going to fight Ramesses II."

Within minutes, Mikaela made up her mind to meet with Ramesses II and then use her own abilities to obtain the Holy Grail from him.

"Roar!!"

Just then, as if it had discovered an intruder, a Sphinx pounced on Mikaela in her Victorious form.

This is a desert region. The Sphinxes are mass-produced by Ramesses II. They are responsible for acting as eyes and guards, killing any Servant and enemies who intrude into this area.

Because Mikaela had only recently fused with Medusa's Spirit Origin, she carried the aura of Servant Spirit Origin, and the Sphinx, attracted by her scent, attacked.

"Sigh..." Mikaela conjured a card in her hand, ready to slay the Sphinx.

"Shuashuashua——!!!"

But at that moment, a dozen arrows flew from nowhere and turned the Sphinx in front of Mikaela into a pincushion.

"Oh my, oh my, I never expected to encounter humans in such a desolate desert!" A hearty male voice came from afar. He did not stop attacking, and countless arrows pierced the Sphinx's body.

In a mere second, the Sphinx, who had just been fiercely preparing to attack Mikaela, was instantly killed by her opponent.

"You think I'm human?" A hint of surprise flashed in Mikaela's eyes. She turned around, looked at the man dressed in simple armor and holding a red longbow, and continued, "Strictly speaking, I'm now Servant."

"Hahaha, Miss, you really love to joke. Servant are dead beings, while you are undoubtedly a living one."

Seemingly knowing there were no enemies around, the man who had come to help put away his bow, looked at Mikaela with a childlike smile, and said, "Let me introduce myself first. I am Arash, known as the great hero of the East. I was summoned here for unknown reasons. Please take care of me, Master."

"Master? Me? You want to sign a contract with me?" Mikaela looked at Arash with a strange expression, feeling that the world had become somewhat peculiar.

Having just shaken off Holmes, how long had it taken before encountering someone comparable to a top-tier Servant?

Escape from the Ark

Introduction:

"Hello, fellow humans, how have you all been lately? As for me, I have no interest in performing any reproductive rituals recently. Let's talk about it another time."

The words spoken to the beautiful, silver-haired woman standing naked amidst the ruins.

Lin Feng, a transmigrator who started as a slave in the lowest rungs of society, what will his next choice be...?

Chapter 341 He smiled like a child

"That's right, I think you're perfect to be my Master." Arash smiled like a child, his smile possessing a unique charm.

How should I put it? Compared to those Servant who claim to be the embodiment of the sun every day, Arash is more like the sun at this moment, his smile as warm and comforting as the sun.

However, the title of Master made Mikaela pause for a moment, after all, she hadn't been Master for a very long time.

Moreover... why would Arash call her Master?

"Why?" Mikaela wondered. More than Holmes's deliberate approach, she was puzzled as to why Arash wanted her to be his Master.

It's not that Arash has any problems, but rather that the other party is a little too perfect in some ways.

As Servant, he doesn't consume a lot of magic power after signing a contract with himself, just like Sigurd who was summoned in Romania.

Both of them are Servant, and they don't consume much magic power, so their strength can rival that of top-tier Servant.

Arash for example. Even without using his Noble Phantasm, he could fight to the death against Servant of Gilgamesh, Ramesses II, and Karna.

He would definitely not win under normal circumstances, but if he uses his Noble Phantasm, he might be able to get a quadra kill.
