FATE: Target of Grand Master

"Impossible! I saw you frozen in place with my own eyes!"

Matou Ryouken turned to look at where Morgan had originally stood, where a stone statue of Morgan did indeed stand.

"It was just petrification of one of my mental clones, and that makes you so happy?"

Matou Ryuken finally realized just how unusual the Servant in front of him was.

Wielding a magic wand, her attacks primarily consist of magic spears and magic. Despite seemingly fitting the Caster class in every way, she is actually a Berserker.

Moreover, as a Berserker, he is able to communicate like a normal Servant.

Oh, and when this Servant was summoned, the summoning circle floating in mid-air and the color of the light it emitted were different from those of a normal Servant summon.

Matou Ryouken has witnessed so many Holy Grail Wars, and no Servant's summoning has ever been as magnificent as the one before him, as if everything was tailor-made for her.

No, the Servant summoning system doesn't change on its own. Only the Servant itself can make changes to this extent.

As if to show off his skills, this Servant analyzed the entire Servant summoning system the moment he summoned it, made adjustments, and created the effect he wanted. Such magical skill is beyond description; even calling him a genius is not enough.

But is that really possible?

For the first time in his long life, Matou Ryogen questioned the concept of a familiar, a Servant.

However, Matou Ryouken's conclusion remains unchanged: abnormal. This Servant can only be described as abnormal.

"Who exactly are you?"

Matou Ryouken asked the question without realizing it.

"You are not worthy to know my true name."

Morgan wasn't naive enough to reveal her identity. Although she didn't think that revealing her real name would make the other party target her, the fact that the familiar of the person in front of her was an insect was enough to disgust her.

"Avenger! Attack!"

Unable to obtain any useful information, Matou Reiken once again ordered Kyogoku.

Several magic circles appeared at the front of the giant serpent formed from Gorgon's hair, and they all shot beams of magic at Morgan, who was suspended in mid-air.

These attacks, imbued with the magical aura of the Age of Gods, would have left an ordinary Servant with no choice but to flee and dodge. Even Medea, who was previously hailed as the "Great Witch of the Age of Gods," was not confident that she could completely defend against them.

However, using magic to attack Morgan, the king of the Lostbelt, was a fatal mistake.

Morgan was confident that throughout all of human history, including the gods of the Age of Gods, the number of those who could manifest as servants and whose magical skills were on par with his own could not be counted on one hand.

The deity and its master, who could only be described as a half-finished product, were naturally not among them.

Several beams of magical energy rushed towards Morgan with overwhelming force, but in the next instant, Morgan simply stirred his wand, and the beams of magical energy were rolled into a large magical bullet by the wand, just like cotton candy, and the color of the magic changed from the original pink to black.

"Here you go."

Morgan aimed the tip of his cross wand at Gorgon, and a magic circle appeared at the front of the wand. Then, the large, black magic bullet transformed into a beam of magic like a magic cannon fired from a magical girl, piercing straight through Gorgon's eyes.

"what!"

For the first time, Gorgon, who had never shown a single expression, displayed a human-like expression of pain due to the severe damage to his spiritual foundation.

Compared to that, what Matou Ryouken found even more unbelievable was that Gorgon's spirit origin, which was roughly equivalent to a god, was as fragile as a piece of paper under the attack of the opponent's Servant.

Although Gorgon's eyes quickly recovered automatically, Matou Ryogen was deeply shocked by Morgan's powerful attack.

No, if this continues, the divine spirit foundation I painstakingly created will be destroyed before I can possess it.

Left with no other choice, Matou Reiken had to bring forward his plan to possess someone's body.

"Command Spell activated! Attach my soul to the Gorgon!"

A flash of red light, and Matou Ryouken's body vanished. Gorgon, whose eyes had been empty and whose expression had been numb, instantly revealed a wicked smile.

"Ah, this is filled with a divine feeling, yes, this is the posture of eternal life that I have been longing for! Hahahahahaha."

"You've finished giving your last words, now I'll send you on your way."

Countless magic bullets appeared around Morgan, then rained down on Gorgon's enormous body like a curtain of rain.

"Don't think that I'll remain an empty shell like before, standing still and letting you beat me."

Gorgon opened his mouth, and a beam of extremely dense black magic swept back and forth, shattering all the magic bullets that Morgan had fired.

"Oh, it seems that no matter what, this almost divine spirit base is not just for show. With the soul driving it, the output of magic power is finally starting to look decent."

Morgan's calm and composed demeanor greatly displeased Matou Ryogen.

Ultimately, even the strongest Servant is nothing more than a familiar, while I am the man who created the Command Seals system to control Servants!

"Then let me show you the true power of my Gorgon."

As the Gorgon's massive body began to rise, the hollow stone walls and roof began to collapse.

Because Morgan had destroyed Gorgon's Eye of Eden, the petrified people were freed from the curse and began to flee out of the Great Hollow.

Morgan realized that Xia Yan was looking at him. After giving his Master an affirming look, he smashed the falling rocks while covering the rear for Xia Yan and the others.

It turns out that the Gorgon's body had always been bent over, and the large, empty space was not even able to accommodate the Gorgon when it stood up completely.

Boom!

Gorgon ruthlessly blasted a huge hole in the mountain that was blocking his way, and bright sunlight shone into the large cavity from the outside, shining on Gorgon with a sense of holiness.

Unfortunately, what the Gorgons were doing had nothing to do with the word "sacred".

In order to have enough space for the Gorgons to move around, Matou Ryouken blasted down the entire mountain above the Great Hollow, then straightened the Gorgons' backs and looked down at Morgan, who was much smaller than himself and was suspended in mid-air.

The enormous hands came together, targeting Morgan, with a loud, muffled "smack," which, from Gorgon's perspective, looked like swatting a fly.

"Hahaha, you can feel it now, can you? The power contained in these hands that are full of divine strength."

As Gorgon spoke, he rubbed his palms together, ensuring that anything between them would be ground into a meat patty.

"not good!"

Seeing Morgan pinned between Gorgon's hands, Rin hurriedly unleashed a magic bullet at Gorgon. However, such an attack was barely enough to scratch the surface of Gorgon's being, which was roughly equivalent to a god's spirit origin.

Shirou was about to forcefully project the image, but Xia Yan stopped him.

"Don't rush, just watch, my King Morgan won't be taken down so easily."

As if to prove Xia Yan's words, Gorgon suddenly felt a sharp pain in his palm. When he released his grip, he saw a thorny iron cage made of dozens of black spears floating in mid-air.

The black spears that made up the iron cage unfolded and moved in mid-air as if programmed, eventually transforming into a staircase leading to the Gorgon.

Unharmed, Morgan gracefully ascended the steps, holding her cross wand, until she reached eye level with Gorgon.

"Stop playing these childish games. If you're still not willing to use your Noble Phantasm, I'm going to use it to destroy you."
