Chapter 125
A faint pink glint seemed to flicker in those moist eyes. After gazing into her eyes for a moment, Lan Ze's heart pounded wildly.
He was almost certain that this beast was definitely up to no good!
Matou Sakura just used her charm ability again!
Lan Ze shook his head and laughed, "Last night... I was just helping someone out, you don't need to repay me."
As he spoke, his gaze suddenly shifted in surprise to Matou Sakura: "Huh, Miss Kishinami?"
Matou Sakura's expression changed slightly, and she turned her head sharply to look. Almost at that moment, Lan Ze had already transformed into a blue demonic dragon, which spread its wings and soared into the air.
"Berserker!" Matou Sakura suddenly shouted.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the Mad Enhancement Lancelot had already uprooted the billboard next to him. He stomped his foot on the ground, leaped into the air, and then smashed towards the dragon in mid-air.
The azure dragon showed no fear, and with a flick of its tail, it slammed heavily into Lancelot's body.
Boom!
A loud bang came from the ground, but Lan Ze didn't even look and flew towards the sky.
But just then, a voice that suddenly turned cold came from behind:
"Hesitant with longing, for it is love itself (Samsāra Kāma)."
An arrow shot out from the ground, Lan Ze's Instinct allowed him to dodge it in an instant. But he suddenly felt a strong wind behind him, so he turned his head sharply and his huge beast eyes widened.
What came into Lan Ze's view was a girl with long purple hair. She no longer looked like the little girl she had just been. Now she seemed to be a high school girl in the prime of her youth. She was dressed in clothes that looked like crystals, and her hands were a translucent, ghostly blue. There were even ghostly blue flames burning in her hands.
"Big brother, you had a lot of fun playing tricks on me last night, didn't you?"
Matou Sakura, or rather Kama, slowly raised her head, while dark mud quietly surged in mid-air.
Lan Ze's gaze sharpened slightly, his eyes showing a hint of surprise and wariness.
This thing seems extremely similar to Mother of All's Sea of Life... The energy it contains is enough to corrupt a Servant!
"You seem quite surprised?" Kama gave him a pure and innocent smile.
"Let me introduce myself, I'm beastⅢ/L. You probably won't understand if I say it like that, so let me put it another way."
"Kamadeva." Gazing into Lan Ze's eyes, the beast took the initiative to introduce himself.
Lan Ze's eyes slowly widened, staring intently at the beast in front of him.
This guy... really is a beast?
At that time, in that space of Beast, there were three women with extremely soft and charming voices. One of them had been confirmed to be Kishinami Hakuno of Beast III/R, and the other one, who also had a bewitching effect, was Beast III/L, Kama, the Kamadeva!
Is this Singularity Kama is up to...?
As Lan Ze thought of this, Kama, who was blocking his way, suddenly revealed an extremely beautiful and charming smile, and whispered:
There's something I just can't figure out after I got home last night.
"Why is it that even though she's just Servant, she's immune to my charm effects? She doesn't even feel the slightest lust towards me. This is truly baffling."
Lan Ze didn't speak; he was already considering the possibility of a rout and a retreat.
He alone could never be a match for such a being, but if he wanted to escape, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. Lancelot couldn't stop him, and this beast... might not be able to stop him either.
Lan Ze's eyes flickered slightly as he secretly scanned his surroundings, searching for the exact location to escape.
At this moment, Kama suddenly sighed softly and said in a low voice:
"Never mind, although I don't know why the charm ability has no effect on you, it doesn't really matter... I can just take you back and study you slowly."
Don't worry, I won't kill you.
Having revealed his true form Kama raised his slender fingers, a gentle, alluring smile curving his lips.
"You will be baptized in the Black Mud, and then obediently become my servant, Caster!"
In mid-air, the Black Mud surged like a tsunami, engulfing Lan Ze in a massive, overwhelming rush.
When the Black Mud swept in, Lan Ze was not afraid at all. It had the body of a demonic dragon, but golden light shone behind it, and the Noble Phantasm from the Golden Gate was unleashed.
As the golden ripples spread, the Noble Phantasm forcefully blasted open the Black Mud.
However, the Black Mud healed itself instantly after being blasted apart, and rushed towards Lan Ze at an even more ferocious speed, engaging in a fierce chase with Lan Ze in mid-air.
"Aaaaa!"
Lan Ze raised its proud, giant dragon head and uttered an ancient and mysterious song. The sound waves surged one after another, even slowing down the healing speed of the Black Mud.
"Huh?" Kama was following closely behind Lan Ze. When she heard the mysterious singing, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, staring at Lan Ze's back with a look of astonishment.
"This magic doesn't seem to belong to him... and this singing... although it's unpleasant to listen to, it seems to contain some special power."
"Could this guy's true form be the Beast?" Kama's eyes flashed slightly, then he quickened his pace and chased after Lan Ze.
"Just give up struggling, big brother! Maybe then I'll give you a chance to kiss the goddess's jade feet!"
Do you think I'm some kind of perverted foot fetishist? I don't dislike them, but that's all I do. I don't have any weird fetishes... Lan Ze thought to himself. The dragon flapped its wings and, with a whooshing sound, transformed into a streak of light and hurtled away into the distance.
Despite her incredible speed, Kama remained close behind, raising her right hand with flames dancing at her fingertips.
A beam of intense light shot out from behind Lan Ze, but his Instinct allowed him to perfectly avoid it, though this also significantly reduced his flight speed.
Almost instantly, the surrounding air seemed to become incredibly hot. Kama unleashed the flames in his hand, the brilliance of the flames mixing with countless oxygen molecules. The intense light seemed to illuminate the entire sky, and the flames formed a massive tornado that slowly flew towards the direction of Lan Ze.
It wasn't fast, but it was extremely large. Beneath Lan Ze's feet was a large bridge, but the surrounding railings were burning fiercely.
It was as if countless sparks were flying in the air, and the entire ground looked like it was on fire.
Lan Ze suddenly stopped flying and then plummeted straight down to the ground.
Above his head, the pitch-black mud had almost covered the sky and was slowly pressing down to the ground.
It seemed there was no way out... Lan Ze sighed inwardly and looked up at the girl in front of him.
"Aren't you going to run away anymore?"
Kama stood on the other side of the bridge, toying with the flame in her hand, a faint smile on her face that seemed to be either mockery or pity, as she looked up at the boy who had landed on the ground.
Above his head was black Black Mud that could corrupt Servant; to his left was Lancelot, who was poised to strike; to his right was a fire tornado slowly moving toward him; and she stood right in front of Lan Ze.
This can be described as a desperate struggle.
"Don't worry, big brother, I told you, I won't hurt you." Kama revealed an innocent smile. Just a moment ago she had been acting like a mature young girl, but now she had reverted to her previous short-haired loli appearance.
"It's just a slight modification to your body, and then a check-up to assess your condition, that's all."
"Don't worry, you won't be too lonely. Soon, other people will come to keep you company."
As soon as Kama finished speaking, Lan Ze suddenly paused, his gaze fixed on Kama: "The others?"
"For example... your Master, or other Servant from Britain?"
Kama rested his chin on his hand, looking as if he were deep in thought, "If I remember correctly, Saber in this Holy Grail War is also Knights of the Round Table from Britain, isn't she?"
"Anyway, don't worry, you won't be lonely soon--"
As Kama smiled and looked up, she saw a dazzling beam of light hurtling towards her. By the time Kama reacted and tried to dodge, the scorching beam was already right in front of her. She had no choice but to raise her hand, and several crystals condensed into a shield in front of her. However, the beam broke through the crystal shield in an instant and headed straight for Kama.
With a loud bang, Kama, bathed in the Noble Phantasm released by Lan Ze, let out a piercing scream. Her body changed from the original loli figure to an older sister figure, and then further advanced from an older sister figure.
As the dazzling light beam subsided, Kama swayed slightly, took two steps back, and breathed heavily, speaking in an annoyed tone:
"You only get angry when other people are mentioned; you're such a strange person!"
"Don't touch anyone else." Lan Ze's gaze was fixed on Kama's eyes.
"What right do you have to bargain with me?!"
Kama abruptly raised her head in annoyance. Not long ago, this Servant was the one being chased and beaten, and even now he was on the defensive, yet he dared to speak to her in such a tone?
But when she recalled the Noble Phantasm the other party had just unleashed, her anger subsided. Staring at Lan Ze, she calmly asked, "Aren't you Merlin? Why is Nightmare so concerned about the people around him?"
Lan Ze, who had just been looking serious, suddenly paused, then coldly snorted, "I have been entrusted by King Arthur to take good care of the people around him."
Kama's eyes flickered slightly, as if he were deep in thought.
It seems best to avoid provoking him; there's no need to really fight him to the death...
With this in mind, Kama no longer hesitated. She raised her hand, and Black Mud poured down from mid-air, completely enveloping Lan Ze in an instant.
Sensing the condition of the Servant's body within the Black Mud, Kama's face quickly revealed an expression of ecstasy. She licked her sensual lips and said, as if in awe, "Big brother, your magical power and such immense protection are truly astonishing."
Although not a beast, isn't this Servant even more monstrous than a beast?
At this moment, the Black Mud had formed a huge black egg that enveloped Lan Ze. Suddenly, she seemed to see a golden light flash within the black egg, as if the Noble Phantasm had been released once again.
But the moment it broke through, new Black Mud immediately descended, covering the damaged black egg once again.
Lan Ze felt as if he were in the deep sea. He suddenly felt a strong drowsiness coming over him, and slowly, his consciousness became hazy.
"Sleep peacefully, big brother."
Kama revealed a bewitching smile, "After you wake up, you will be completely transformed into my Servant by the corruption of the Black Mud."
She had just finished speaking and was about to leave with the black egg when, as if sensing something, the smile on Kama's face slowly faded.
"Tonight, there are really one daredevil after another. Since I'm in a good mood tonight, I'll give you ten seconds to get out of here."
Feeling a chill creeping up her back, Kama spoke calmly, turning her head slightly to look at him.
I don't know when it started, but on the other side of that bridge, a girl dressed in a gorgeous kimono stood there. She had long, flowing hair and held a sharp katana in her hand, which seemed to reflect a chilling luster in the moonlight.
She gazed calmly at Kama, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a radiant light, and whispered, "Release him from that lump of Black Mud."
"This guy, is Master too...?" Kama glanced at Ryougi Shiki Ryougi Shiki times, then a cute smile appeared on her face, and she said softly, "That won't do."
"The Black Mud hasn't completely eroded him yet. I can only release him after he truly becomes my Servant."
"If you really want this child, why don't you just take it yourself? But let's make this clear for now—"
Suddenly, Kama raised her head, a smug smile spreading across her face, "What you're about to face is a god, big sister!"
As these words fell, Lancelot, who had been baptized in the Black Mud, let out a chilling voice, grabbed a section of the railing, and charged toward Ryougi Shiki.
"Your opponent is me, Berserker!"
Mordred's voice came from mid-air. She was wearing full armor and wielding a greatsword, swinging it heavily at Lancelot. Soon, she was locked in combat with Lancelot.
Ryougi Shiki, her beautiful eyes gleaming with a magnificent yet dangerous light, and whispered:
"I'll kill anything that's alive, even if it's a god."
"A mere Master dares to speak so arrogantly?!" Kama sneered. At that moment, Ryougi Shiki suddenly raised her eyelids.
Those eyes, as bright as the starry sky, suddenly lit up!
In the next instant, Ryougi Shiki rushed towards Kama from afar, her eyes gleaming with a sharp, dagger-like light.
Kama's pupils widened suddenly, and he felt a chill rise in his heart.
This guy... is no ordinary Master!
The moment Kama had this thought, Ryougi Shiki appeared before Kama in a flash. All of this happened in the blink of an eye, and Kama suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of crisis creeping into his heart.
Without a doubt, this Master wasn't just being defiant; he genuinely possessed the ability to kill her!
"Tch... There are so many tough opponents in this Holy Grail War!" Kama clicked his tongue in sudden annoyance.
Not only Merlin, the oldest King of Heroes, but even Master are now in such trouble!
Kama suddenly raised his right hand, and a blazing beam of light shot out towards Ryougi Shiki.
Ryougi Shiki Kama's sword, which was about to strike, paused in mid-air. Then, she dodged the scorching light at an extremely tricky angle and swung her sword down at Kama.
"Why would you save other Servant? This is during the Holy Grail War!" Kama held a crystal shield in front of her, staring intently at Ryougi Shiki as she asked angrily.
"He is my man." Ryougi Shiki simply replied, her katana slowly pressing down as if to cleave Kama in two.
Suddenly, Kama raised his finger, and a beam of light shot towards Ryougi Shiki. Although she was wearing a kimono, Ryougi Shiki was still incredibly agile. She retreated several steps, but the beam of light seemed to be automatically tracking her.
