[Black] Caster's Exit, and...

However, after hearing Caster's words, Wang Xiaoming still looked up and greeted her calmly.

"Yo, Caster."

"..."

Seeing the human unharmed from his attack—no, he couldn't possibly be human; no human could survive a full-force blow from [Adam].

Avicebron has that confidence.

Therefore, after a long silence, Avicebron suddenly asked Wang Xiaoming a meaningful question—

"Who exactly are you, you rascal?"

Looking back, I realize I was meddling in some things too much. I won't worry about them anymore, haha.

Anyway, sorry, but I'm back.

"Who exactly are you, you rascal?"

Looking at the man before her who remained completely calm, Avicebron asked the question that had been buried deep in her heart from the very beginning.

It was able to withstand [Adam's ] attack without sustaining any damage. Moreover, Caster had personally witnessed, back at the aerial fortress, the inhuman power that Wang Xiaoming saw capable of tainting the entire world with gray...

In fact, not only Avicebron, but everyone present who witnessed this scene, as well as those watching the battlefield through Magecraft Projection in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, all shared the same question: how could someone who is merely human possess strength comparable to Servant?

Under everyone's gaze, Wang Xiaoming wore a nonchalant expression: "Although I really want to answer you with something like 'I was just passing by,' we're on the battlefield now. If we're not vigilant, we'll suffer a great loss." "Wh... what...?"

Avicebron could finish his astonished words, he suddenly realized that the golem was falling backward uncontrollably.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared amidst the surging shockwaves created by the falling golem, and gradually became clearer.

--It is Siegfried.

It turned out that, taking advantage of the brief moment when Avicebron's attention was entirely focused on Wang Xiaoming, Siegfried, who had arrived from behind, swung her demonic sword and quickly shattered the golem's leg joints.

Without its support, the golem could no longer stand still. Its massive body created a shockwave upon impact with the ground. Although Gordes was covered in dust, Gordes safety was at least temporarily ensured.

"I am extremely grateful, Caster's Master!"

When Saber arrived in front of Wang Xiaoming, she immediately expressed her gratitude to him for saving her Master.

"It's nothing. Saving him was a strategic decision; you didn't need to do that."

"Even so..."

"Ptooey, ptooey... Saber, you bastard!!!"

At this moment, Gordes had finally managed to spit out all the dust and sand from his mouth, began to vent the anger that he had been holding back due to fear towards Saber.

As for Siegfried --

"I'm sorry, Master, the situation here is quite dangerous. Please find a safe place to take shelter as soon as possible."

After hearing his Servant's neither humble nor arrogant reply, Gordes snorted coldly and then sullenly left the battlefield.

"Having this Master hasn't been easy for you, Saber."

Saber shook her head at Wang Xiaoming's slightly sympathetic remark. "Master was just being a bit harsh with his words."

"Hey, Saber!"

The sudden sound drew their attention, and they saw that Gordes, who had previously fled the battlefield, had reappeared at the edge of the battlefield.

A panting Gordes yelled at Saber:

"If you fall here, I definitely won't let you off the hook!"

Watching Gordes's obese figure disappear again at the edge of the battlefield after leaving behind his "harsh words," Wang Xiaoming shrugged and readily admitted his mistake:

"Okay, I admit I misjudged it."

Saber chuckled softly, offering no further advice to her Master. At that moment, Wang Xiaoming received a telepathic message from Lily...

"Caster, how are things on your end?"

[No problem, Archer's Master and Rider are both fine~]

The reason Lily wasn't with Wang Xiaoming was because the moment Rider jumped off the cliff with Fiore, Lily, at Chiron's urgent request, used Magecraft to teleport him there.

Although we don't know the situation there yet, since Lily said there's no problem, then there must be no problem.

As he breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Xiaoming stared at Lily on the other end of the phone and said:

"Since there are no problems, let's take those two away from the battlefield for now. The fighting here is likely to get quite intense."

[Master, please be careful!]

"Okay, don't worry."

After cutting off his telepathic communication with Lily, Wang Xiaoming explained the situation with Rider to Saber.

"Is that so? It's good that they're alright."

Having witnessed the two jump off the cliff to escape the golem's attack, Saber instinctively wanted to rush to their aid. However, the golem's target had already shifted to Gordes, leaving Saber powerless to help.

However, upon hearing that the two were safe and sound, Saber breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"So, all that's left is this big guy..."

Wang Xiaoming and Saber simultaneously turned their gazes to the colossal creature before them. As time passed, the golem whose leg joints Saber had previously damaged had recovered, and its stone sword was now raised high, ready to strike—

Saber took the lead and blocked the attack with her magic sword. When the magic sword and the stone sword collided, the stone sword, which had lower durability, was shattered almost instantly.

However, because they were also [Primordial Human], the shattered stone sword began to regenerate in the next second, and Wang Xiaoming seized the opportunity to jump onto the golem's shoulder along its outstretched arm.

The golem, whose weapons hadn't been fully repaired, was completely unable to block Wang Xiaoming's attack.

The next second--

The giant made of mud and wood could not cause any trouble or hindrance to Wang Xiaoming's weapon. His arm, which had been pierced by "Durandal," was torn open directly from the wound.

Seeing the arm, which had broken off like a piece of wood and flown away, fall to the ground and turn into dirt, Wang Xiaoming had returned to Saber's side, frowned.

The golem's repair has already begun. The attack just now was less of a damage and more of a delaying tactic, because neither Saber nor Wang Xiaoming possessed a decisive means to destroy the golem.

"Saber, do you have any ideas on how to counter its healing abilities?"

This can't go on forever, so Wang Xiaoming turned to Saber for advice, but received a disappointing answer.

"Sorry."

Saber shook her head to express her apology, but as if she had thought of something, she said to Wang Xiaoming, "However, Ruler said before that this golem's regenerative ability comes from the 'blessing' of the ground. If we want to get rid of it, we first need to sever the golem's connection with the earth, and then destroy its Spirit Core and furnace at the same time."

"Cut off contact...?"

Wang Xiaoming stared thoughtfully at the expanding barrier beneath the golem's feet, but Saber's next words pulled Wang Xiaoming back to reality:

"Even if the connection is severed, my Noble Phantasm can only destroy one part of it."

"Ah, you're right."

As Wang Xiaoming skillfully dodged the golem's attack, he nodded helplessly. Just as Saber had said, his side still lacked the element to deliver a fatal blow to the golem.

"If Mordred were here..."

"Who called me?!"

Wang Xiaoming's mutterings were interrupted by a whirlwind of sound the next second, followed by a streak of crimson lightning that shot into the battlefield.

--It was Mordred. She raised the Clarent, which was twisted by hatred, and launched the first attack on the golem.

Ruler arrived at the battlefield with her.

"Sorry to keep you waiting!"

Ruler paid his respects to Siegfried and Wang Xiaoming, who were facing off against each other.

"Ruler, do you have a solution yet?"

Before Wang Xiaoming could even speak, Siegfried, contrary to her previous calm demeanor, asked Ruler a question.

Because he could clearly feel the rate at which his magical energy was draining from his body, and since the [Black] faction's magical energy supply system had been damaged by the puppets, all the magical energy he used in battle was now supplied by his Master. Although he could still move freely, considering the burden on Gordes, he needed to stop the continuous release of his Noble Phantasm. Otherwise, there was a risk of self-destruction.

That's why Saber couldn't wait to ask Ruler.

"Don't worry, Archer said he has a way to cut off the golem's magical energy supply."

The instant Ruler finished speaking, a massive surge of magical energy suddenly erupted from the rear of the battlefield. Without a doubt, this was the "method" Archer had mentioned.

Because it wasn't just them; anyone on this battlefield would not ignore the immense magical power emanating from the rear, and the puppet was no exception.

Although he hadn't yet formed a concrete thought, his innate intuition allowed him to sense the sense of crisis emanating from the central source of that magic.

So, the puppet abandoned the Mordred in front of it and ran straight towards the back of the battlefield. It wanted to eliminate this "danger" before it could take shape!

"Then, I'll have to trouble you again, Saber."

"Um."

After hearing Ruler's instructions, Saber silently nodded, picked up her cursed sword, and stood in the puppet's path. Her task was simple and clear—even if it cost her everything, she had to protect the puppet!

"Perhaps it doesn't have to be that complicated..."

Unexpectedly, the pre-battle preparations, which should have been tinged with a sense of tragic grandeur, were suddenly interrupted by a single sentence from Wang Xiaoming.

Suddenly, Wang Xiaoming, who was facing the golem, asked Ruler a puzzling question, "Ruler, do you think if we just knock this big guy away, would that cut off his magic supply?"

Although he didn't understand what Wang Xiaoming meant, Ruler still answered his question seriously, "That makes sense. As long as its feet can leave the ground, it won't be able to absorb magic from the ground to repair its losses."

"Is that so? Then there's no problem."

As the enormous golem approached, Wang Xiaoming casually weighed the "Durandal" in his hand. Immediately afterward, an immense and undeniable surge of magical power erupted from his body.

"How is that possible?!"

Inside the golem, the Avicebron instinctively tried to deny what he was seeing; he could actually sense Servant's aura emanating from this man?!

But there was no time for him to question it, because the next second, his vision was filled with a dazzling golden light—

"Target confirmed, location fixed -- [The Durindana (Durandana)]! Get blown away!"

The golden meteor pierced straight through the golem, and with the immense kinetic energy it carried, the golem's massive body was lifted into the air without any chance to struggle.

Meanwhile, [Black] Archer, who was chanting at the rear of the battlefield, could only helplessly swallow back the rest of his chant after seeing a golden meteor shooting into the sky.

(What should I do if my dad steals my thunder? Urgent, waiting for answers online.)

Chapter 256. The Departure of Avicebron and...

"Target confirmed, location fixed -- [The Durindana (Durandana)]! Get blown away!"

The moment the golden meteor pierced through the golem, everyone present was momentarily stunned. The reason for their astonishment was nothing more than the meteor-like Noble Phantasm and the Noble Phantasm aura emanating from its Servant...

As for the person who started all of this—

"Stop standing there! Let's take care of this guy first!" Wang Xiaoming's loud shout pulled the two Servant beside him back to their senses.

At this moment, the golem in mid-air had stopped its ascent. If left unattended, it would be difficult to find such an opportunity again after it landed.

"Don't order me around like that!"

Coming to her senses, Mordred glared at Wang Xiaoming with displeasure, but then refocused her attention on the battlefield.

"Wang Jian!"

As Mordred proclaimed, crimson lightning danced and scattered across her body, and the Sword of Hatred began to unleash its magical power.

At the same time, Siegfried also raised her demonic sword.

In mid-air, Avicebron, sensing the massive magical fluctuations on the ground, manipulated the golem, attempting to adjust its posture to dodge the attack.

--But it had no effect.
