The Battle of Siegeswalda: Brat / The Battle of Siegeswalda: Mother and Daughter

After a slight pause, Wang Xiaoming came to the conclusion: it seemed that Assassin's Master had noticed something was wrong and had used Command Spell to forcibly summon her back.

"We'll be back! (hehehe)"

This was the message Assassin left for Wang Xiaoming just before he disappeared.

Looking at the golden spiritual particles scattered before him, Wang Xiaoming gave a cryptic smile, "No need to come back, I'll come find you later."

Then Wang Xiaoming turned his attention back to Lily:

"Then I'll have to leave it to you, Caster."

Chapter 205. The Battle of Sighisoara. The Mischievous Child

After Jack the Ripper escaped the battlefield using Command Spell, Wang Xiaoming was not worried at all. Instead, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, as if he had a "plan in motion" expression.

--Although I hadn't considered that the opponent's Master would be determined to use Command Spell, the result... wasn't much different from my original plan.

Wang Xiaoming turned around and looked at Lily, whom he was protecting behind him:

"Please, Caster."

Upon hearing her Master's request, Lily nodded slightly, raising her wand in her right hand once more. The next second, a round blue orb of light appeared at the tip of the wand.

After separating from the wand, the orb of light slowly floated to the air in front of Wang Xiaoming and Lily, and then quietly exploded like a soap bubble. However, the exploded magical fragments did not dissipate, but instead slowly arranged themselves in an orderly manner in mid-air.

A moment later--

A sand table composed of blue light and shadow appeared before the two of them. Its content was a 3D Projection of the entire city of Sighisoara, miniature to scale, and the level of detail in its construction would put any architect to shame.

--[Territory Creation], an inherent ability of the Caster class.

This allows Casters to establish their own "territory." The size of this "territory" depends on the Caster's skill and magic.

For Medea, even in the Age of Gods, she was a genius who stood at the pinnacle of all Magecraft of her time. Although Lily's Magecraft skills were not yet comparable to her adult self, she was more than capable of creating a barrier capable of monitoring a small city.

As for when the barrier was created, it was actually something Lily casually set up during the day while sightseeing in the city with Saber, after taking Wang Xiaoming's advice. To put it simply, the entire Sighisoara has now become Lily's "territory."

The moment the 3D image unfolded, two intertwined crimson dots instinctively drew Wang Xiaoming and Lily's attention. Judging from their location, it seemed to be the spot where the two had said goodbye to Saber and Shishigou. Considering the previous situation, it appeared that Saber and Archer were engaged in a fierce battle.

Can you find the location of Jack the Ripper?

Wang Xiaoming asked Lily, "Now is not the time to worry about another battlefield. Rather than worrying about Saber's current situation, we should deal with our own Assassin as soon as possible."

Letting Assassin leave was part of Wang Xiaoming's plan.

Rather than dealing with an elusive Servant, it's easier to eliminate her Master directly, which also reduces unnecessary risks.

"Yes, she's here..."

Upon hearing Wang Xiaoming's question, Lily gently tapped the Projection with her wand. The Projection of the entire city rapidly enlarged, discarding all unnecessary elements.

Once the Projection stabilized, a bright line of light appeared between the two people's current location and a building on the other side of the city.

"So, disobedient brats really do need to be properly disciplined."

Wang Xiaoming, who was eager to get started, said this.

"Mother!"

Golden spiritual particles gradually condensed, and the Jack the Ripper, who suddenly appeared in the room, threw himself into the woman's arms and pleaded with her in a pitiful tone.

The woman Assassin called "Mom" picked the girl up from her arms, and then she discovered—

At this moment, the girl's exposed skin and her endearing cheeks were covered with scratches of varying sizes, and even her right hand was bent at an unnatural angle.

Upon seeing the numerous wounds on the girl's body, he asked anxiously:

"How did it get like this?"

"..."

Before the girl could answer, the woman gently placed her on a chair and then anxiously began searching the room for items that could be used for emergency treatment. However, she realized the next second that her actions were pointless.

The girl is not an ordinary human; she is Servant another world. Healing other than Magecraft is meaningless to her, but her Master is merely an ordinary person unable to use Magecraft...

There was nothing else the woman could do but bandage the wound with a clean towel.

"Does it still hurt?"

The girl shook her head at the woman's anxious question, then gave her a smile as if to reassure her.

"Yes, it's all over now."

"Is that so...?"

Although the girl's words put the woman at ease somewhat, her expression remained grim as she thought about the condition of her right hand.

"Ultraman Jack, what happened to your injury?"

"I just fought Servant."

"Servant refers to someone like Ultraman Jack, right?"

The girl nodded. She had learned quite a bit about the Holy Grail War from the woman, and therefore she was well aware that the enemies she faced were extremely powerful.

"Did we lose?"

"No..."

The girl shook her head, revealing a defiant expression:

"It was interrupted by others halfway through, and ended up being abandoned. How despicable, launching a sneak attack while others were fighting."

"That's really going too far."

Feeling sorry for the girl, the woman gently patted her head. Unable to help with her recovery, she could only consider other options. "Hey, Ultraman Jack, do you want something to eat now?"

"Hmm, I'm actually a little hungry!"

Seeing the girl nodding vigorously, the woman couldn't help but smile.

"Okay. Just a moment, I'll go heat up the hamburger rack right away."

Because the girl's right hand was unusable, the woman cut the reheated hamburger patty into small pieces and slowly put them into her mouth.

Assassin opened his mouth like a little bird waiting to be fed, seemingly having forgotten the pain in his right hand, and a happy smile appeared on his face after the food entered his mouth.

"Is it tasty?"

"Um!"

--That's good

The woman showed a slight expression of relief, then, as if she had thought of something, said to the girl, "Ultraman Jack, we should leave as soon as possible."

If they stay here, they will face endless attacks from other Servant, and the police are becoming increasingly troublesome.

The girl, who had also considered this point, fell into deep thought.

The previous Mordred was already a formidable enemy, but given the nature of the Holy Grail War, there are few Servant of a higher caliber than Saber.

However, for himself, who appears in this Holy Grail War as an [Assassin] class, apart from Saber and Caster, whose genders have already been confirmed, he is not confident in defeating the other Servant.

If other [male Servant] come next time, defeat is inevitable. Therefore, rather than staying here, it's better to go to Trifas and see if we can find some who have slipped through the net.

"Okay, then..."

The girl nodded, seemingly ready to agree to the woman's suggestion, but then there was a knock on the door, followed by a familiar male voice.

"Hello, this is the 'Naughty Kids Education Alliance.' Does your child often misbehave and disobey rules...?"

A naughty kid: o_O

Chapter 206. The Battle of Sighisoara. Mother and Daughter

"Hello, this is the 'Naughty Kids Education Alliance.' Does your child often misbehave and disobey rules...?"

"Master..."

Wang Xiaoming, standing outside the door, had no idea how much of an impact his serious words had on the two people inside the room, but Lily beside him wore a look of bewildered amusement.

What was supposed to be a serious occasion about facing the enemy suddenly took on a lighthearted and playful atmosphere thanks to Wang Xiaoming's antics.

I felt inexplicably ashamed.

"OK, OK--"

Seeing Lily's troubled expression, Wang Xiaoming immediately backed down and turned around to force the door open, but suddenly heard the sound of the door bolt turning. As the door slowly opened, an unfamiliar face appeared in front of Wang Xiaoming and Lily.

"..."

"Is there anything I can help you with?"

The person who opened the door was a woman, a very charming woman who possessed the best qualities of both Eastern and Western women.

Whether it's the fair skin and sensuality of Western women or the delicacy and refinement of Eastern women, it seems that she can find both. And those eyes that seem to stir up the desires in the human heart can make any man fall for her.

Unlike Ruler, whom he had encountered before, whose "sacred beauty" evoked no sense of blasphemy, the beauty of this woman before him was more like a "decadent beauty" born from hardship.

Hello, we are...

After clearing his throat, Wang Xiaoming was about to repeat his previous remarks when he was interrupted by the woman opposite him:

"I've heard that before. I'm sorry, I don't have children. You can leave now."

The rapid shift in her cold expression and the loss of warmth in her voice made one subconsciously wonder if the woman in front of them was on a movie set.

No, this was all just acting.

Both sides know what the other wants, so they use acting to conceal their true intentions. That's why they are now competing to see which side makes a mistake first.

Unfortunately...

A sudden noise from inside the house broke the tense atmosphere.

"It seems you're not telling the truth, ma'am."

After giving the woman in front of him a half-smile, Wang Xiaoming pushed her aside without further ado and went into the room.

Before he could even take a few steps, and before he could even take in the full panorama of the room, Wang Xiaoming felt a cold, hard object pressed against the back of his head, and he instinctively raised his hands.

"So, you're the Master of Jack the Ripper?"

Without answering Wang Xiaoming's question, the woman behind him increased the pressure on him, then said in a cold voice:

"Tell your Servant to leave this place."

"Master!"

Lily's tense voice rang out, and she was about to make a move when Wang Xiaoming stopped her. Waving Lily away to reassure her, Wang Xiaoming instead brought up another topic:

"You... you're not Magecraft, are you...?"

"..."

Hearing the words of the man whose back was to her, the woman felt a strange unease creeping into her heart.

--We can't let him delay any longer.

With this thought in mind, the woman's finger was already on the trigger, and then—

A muffled thud echoed in the somewhat dimly lit room.

The sharp pain in her back and wrists brought the woman back to her senses from the dizziness. When she opened her eyes, she found a dark gun barrel pointed at her lying on the ground, and the owner of the gun still had the same expression as when they first met.

What happened?

All she knew was that what had just happened was completely beyond her comprehension as an ordinary person.

Perhaps, as this man asked earlier...

He wasn't Magecraft, and precisely because he wasn't Magecraft, he couldn't comprehend the terror of Magecraft, let alone someone like Wang Xiaoming who was almost "inhuman"...

The instant he sensed the murderous intent emanating from the woman behind him, Wang Xiaoming instantly turned his head to dodge the gun, leaned back, and grabbed the arm holding the gun, ending the fight—which hadn't even been a warm-up—with a clean and decisive over-the-shoulder throw.
