Chapter 126

Ryougi Shiki was not afraid at all. She raised her sword and slashed down, cutting through the blazing light along with it, and a violent explosion was heard in mid-air.

"What's your relationship with this guy?" Kama asked, staring at the girl in the kimono.

"Couple." Ryougi Shiki said expressionlessly.

"A couple? You're in a relationship with a Servant?" Kama suddenly burst into laughter, as if he had heard a joke.

Ryougi Shiki frowned slightly and said softly, "Is that not allowed?"

"Sure." As Kama said this, his slender fingers gently brushed against the black egg beside him.

"However, from this moment on, your lover belongs to me."

"Soon he'll be calling me master--"

Almost the instant those words were spoken, Ryougi Shiki, without uttering a word, raised her sword and thrust it at Kama.

A piercing sound rang out at the brightly lit bridgehead as the sharp blade of the katana struck the crystal shield that Kama had constructed using Magecraft, causing the air itself to vibrate.

Immediately afterwards, a cracking sound came from the katana in Ryougi Shiki's hand, and the blade shattered!

Kama sneered, "It seems your weapon isn't very sturdy."

Ryougi Shiki did not answer. She released the katana, grabbed Kama's wrist with one hand, and deftly twirled the blade she had picked up when the katana shattered with the other, throwing it at Kama.

"You think you can kill someone with just a razor blade? You're incredibly naive—"

As soon as Kama finished speaking, she suddenly felt a chilling sensation on her back. She quickly dodged the seemingly unremarkable blade, and her crystalline right arm suddenly sprouted icicle-like spikes, forcing Ryougi Shiki to subconsciously let go.

At the same time, Kama took several steps back, staring at the girl in front of him with suspicion and uncertainty.

What's truly strange about this girl isn't her weapon... but rather her herself?!

She had initially thought that the weapon in Ryougi Shiki's hand posed a threat to her, but now it seemed that wasn't the case.

This woman is somewhat similar to Lancelot. Lancelot can turn anything around him into a weapon at will, and this woman, no matter what weapon she holds, is likely to kill someone with a single blow!

The kimono-clad girl wasn't just bluffing when she said, "I'll kill even gods for you." She really could do it!

Kama stared at Ryougi Shiki in shock. She was confident that she held the greatest initiative in this Holy Grail War, but when facing a Master, she felt a strong threat.

You'll die... If she hits you, it could really be an instant kill!

... At the very least, the body she's attached to will definitely die.

She would have to reveal the Beast's true form then... She didn't want to reveal her true form so soon unless absolutely necessary; she wasn't strong enough yet and needed to develop further.

Ryougi Shiki gazed silently at Kama, her Mystic Eyes, as cold as the starry sky. Even though she was the Beast, Kama felt that this woman before her was more of a monster!

... because at this moment, there was absolutely no human emotion in Ryougi Shiki's eyes.

Although she appears to have a human body, she is not human at all!

Ryougi Shiki took another step forward, a small knife appearing in her hand... The weapon didn't seem very threatening, somewhat like a fruit knife used for cutting fruit at home, but Kama didn't dare to underestimate it at all.

Any weapon she holds, no matter what it is, will pose a great threat!

Click.

Just as Ryougi Shiki took a step forward, a slight cracking sound suddenly came from the black egg not far away, as if an egg was hatching.

Has the Black Mud finally completely corrupted him...? Kama's eyes slowly brightened, and he turned to look at the black egg.

Ryougi Shiki also turned her head to look over, and a sliver of light returned to her cold eyes.

In the distance, Mordred, who was fighting Lancelot, subconsciously turned his head to look. The black egg quietly shattered, and then the figure inside the black egg came into view.

His face was indifferent, his body was tanned brown as if by the sun, and his golden eyes shone with an air of majesty. He exuded immense psychological pressure at first glance.

"Father King..." Mordred called out softly, almost instinctively.

"Congratulations on your rebirth, big brother." Kama opened his arms as if welcoming his Servant, a smug smile on his face.

"From today onwards, I am your master."

"Now, I'm going to give you my first order—"

Kama glanced at Kama Shiki, who was staring intently at Ryougi Shiki, and a charming smile curved her lips. She gazed tenderly at Lan Ze and whispered in a soft, melodious voice:

"Kill them, Caster."

"Kill them, Caster!"

When Kama heard Kama's alluring yet arrogant voice in her ear, Ryougi Shiki gaze narrowed slightly, her Mystic Eyes fixed on Lan Ze, who had unlocked a new skin.

Then, she unconsciously frowned slightly.

It wasn't that she found it difficult; she simply felt that she preferred the somewhat frail-looking child from before to the now imposing Caster.

"Father King..."

Mordred muttered to himself, then abruptly looked up at the extremely sexy woman and said angrily:

"How dare you turn him into this?!"

In a fit of rage, Mordred raised his greatsword and slashed at Kama, but almost instantly, Lancelot stepped in front of Mordred.

"Roll!"

Mordred swung his greatsword at Lancelot with great force, but with a clang, Lancelot drew his iron bars and blocked Mordred's furious attack. Then, he let out a roar and resumed his battle with Mordred.

"Caster, what are you standing there for?"

Kama's voice came again, as if she were declaring her victory. Under Ryougi Shiki's gaze, she gently placed her slender Lan Ze's face, then brought her lips to his ear and whispered:

"Kill them, and I'll give you a reward when we get back, big brother~"

Kama's voice floated softly in Lan Ze's ear, accompanied by a faint fragrance. Lan Ze slowly raised his head.

Those golden eyes shone with a kingly majesty, but upon closer inspection, one would find a multitude of bewildered questions within them.

Um???

Big brother... is Kama talking to me?

Wouldn't that be a bit strange?

Why does she think I'll listen to her?

Just because she said she'd give me a reward after I dealt with Shiki and her gang?

... Is something wrong?

Putting aside whether I could beat both of them by myself, the real question is, why would I lay a hand on my girlfriend and my daughter...?

Lan Ze was completely stunned; he still didn't quite understand what was going on.

Lan Ze possesses the Blessing of the Creation Mother Goddess, also known as the Favor of Mother of All, or perhaps it can be translated as Aaaa. Back in Uruk, even the Sea of Life, which could corrupt Heroic Spirit, was ineffective against him, so naturally, these Black Mud have no effect on him either.

However, the Black Mud did not have any corrosive effect on him, but it did change his body... or rather, unlocked a new skin.

Moreover, being inside the Black Mud, he was completely isolated from the outside world and had no idea what had just happened outside.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that Sister Shi and Mo Zai discovered the battle here and came to rescue me... Lan Ze thought to himself.

As for why Kama asked me to kill them, and why she seemed so confident that I would obey her... it must be because of the Black Mud?

Kama can manipulate the Black Mud, so in her eyes, I have become her Servant under Black Mud influence...?

"Strange... Could it be that the Black Mud isn't working?"

Just then, Kama's puzzled voice came from behind. Looking at Lan Ze, who hadn't moved, she muttered, "Could it be that the Black Mud isn't working on him...?"

But how is that possible?

The opponent is merely a Servant; even if they possess some kind of protection, the Black Mud should still be able to corrode them...

Thinking of this, Kama suddenly called out tentatively, "Big brother?"

Lan Ze slowly turned his head and saw Kama's figure. She had a sexy figure, with long purple hair that was loose and strands of hair hanging down her snow-white neck.

She is alluring and seductive, yet retains a touch of innocence.

"I'll play along with her for now, and then find some time to slip away with Sister Shi and Xiao Mo..." With that thought, Lan Ze said in a completely emotionless voice, "Master, please give your orders."

Kama paused for a moment, then a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"What? Looks like the Black Mud is actually working?"

"But why didn't they obey my orders earlier...?" Kama rested his chin on his hand, pondered for a moment, and his eyes brightened slightly.

I see.

Servant heroes from history or the future. This guy, it seems, even after being corrupted by the Black Mud, still retains some of his will to resist Black Mud erosion, refusing to attack his fellow Britain friends and his lover?

If that's the case, then it can be explained clearly.

Lan Ze's eyes were as blank as possible, but his brain was working at high speed.

When Kama told me to attack Shiki, I took the opportunity to transform into a dragon and escape with Shiki and Mori...

Just as Lan Ze was thinking this, he suddenly felt something emerge from under his feet.

He glanced down instinctively—it was Black Mud!

The Black Mud wrapped around Lan Ze 'Lan Ze legs, and then slowly covered his upper body.

"I respect your will, big brother." Kama's lips curled into a smile as he looked at Lan Ze with considerable appreciation. "Since you don't want to lay a hand on your little girlfriend, I won't make things difficult for you."

Let's retreat tonight.

Lan Ze: "?"

NMDWSM?!

Why the hell aren't you playing by the rules?!

Lan Ze roared inwardly.

What is this guy even imagining?!

"Don't worry, I'll make sure you retain a sliver of your sanity; it'll be good for me too."

"After all, it's not very interesting if you're surrounded by irrational tools."

As Kama finished speaking, she looked up at Ryougi Shiki, a beautiful smile spreading across her face, "Saber's Master, your lover, I'll take her with me now."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of him, both physically and emotionally."

Kama turned his head slightly to look at the boy beside him and said softly, "You agree, right, big brother?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than a sharp, whistling sound came from afar. Ryougi Shiki finally lost her patience and swung the blade in her hand toward Kama, her beautiful eyes filled with icy indifference.

Immaculate Consciousness - the Garden of Sinners, Unleashed!

In the blink of an eye, Ryougi Shiki, who had just been keeping a certain distance from Kama, had flashed in front of Kama, the blade in her hand emitting a dazzling light.

Kama reacted just as quickly, her magic spreading rapidly from her center. The Black Mud and crystals in the domain quickly covered her, but even so, she still felt a strong threat.

Damn it, what's wrong with this woman? She's not Master, she's a monster... No, she'd believe it even if you told her Ryougi Shiki was a beast!

As Kama complained inwardly, Ryougi Shiki's Ryougi Shiki struck the crystal on Kama's surface. The crystal and even the Black Mud were rapidly shattering, but Kama didn't even look at it. The Black Mud quickly swallowed Lan Ze and then dragged him into the air.

Ryougi Shiki's eyes narrowed sharply as she reached out to grab Lan Ze, but it was too late. At the same moment Ryougi Shiki reached out, Kama had already carried Lan Ze into the air.

She looked down at the girl in the kimono on the ground, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Even if she's incredibly strong, as long as she can't fly, she can't stop herself from escaping.

This is also the biggest reason why Kama can be so confident. She is a beast and can fly in mid-air. No matter how dangerous Ryougi Shiki is, it is impossible to kill her.

"What's your name?" Kama asked, looking down at the girl on the ground.

Ryougi Shiki did not speak, but simply stared into Kama's eyes.

"Put him down," she said again.

"Won't you give your name?" Kama's lips curled slightly as she stretched her sexy figure and said softly, "Never mind... Anyway, I'll take big brother with me first. Don't worry, I won't hurt him."

"After all..." she tilted her head slightly, gazing at Lan Ze, and said softly, "He probably still has quite a few secrets."
