Lu Mingfei is transforming into the final boss.

"It feels like a road movie." Lu Mingfei squatted on the side of the street, watching the two who had become close. Who knows what happened between them after she fell asleep.

"Road movie? What's that?" Richard squatted down next to Lu Mingfei, imitating her squatting posture.

"It's the kind of film where one or two people, or a few people, travel all over the country and tell stories along the way." She explained the genres of modern films to this old-fashioned person, as she quite liked road movies.

"That does look very similar." He nodded in agreement. "Next, we'll head deep into the forest, where the magic is so concentrated it's like a barrier, maximizing our protection against detection by other masters and servants."

"Will there be a lot of mosquitoes?"

Lu Mingfei suddenly blurted out this sentence out of the blue, and then realized what she meant.

"Oh, sorry, I said something stupid."

"How could that be? Mosquitoes are a major enemy on the march." He didn't know that before, but with the enlightenment of modern knowledge, he realized that mosquitoes are the carriers of pathogens, and even Alexander the Great fell victim to the plague. "It is indeed worth noting, but under such concentrated magic, there should probably be no problem."

"Okay, I thought I was going to have to spray some floral water." Lu Mingfei glanced at the department store not far away.

But they probably don't sell floral water there.

Clock Tower, England

Waver Velvet, who participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War and is now a monarch and lecturer, is sitting in a chair, looking at the two people in front of him.

"Given the experience of the past Holy Grail Wars, the decision to forbid the monarch from going to the area is said to be the decision of the Clock Tower," he said helplessly. This decision also had some connection to him, because only one monarch had died in the Holy Grail War, and that was his former teacher, Kenneth, and even the cause of his teacher's death was related to him.

So all he could do was express his understanding.

"Any new information besides that?" he asked.

Since we can't go there in person, we can only rely on information from others to find out.

The scarecrow-like creature spoke in a deep voice, "Yes, there is, and I think I should tell you first."

The freckled boy behind him pulled out a laptop, which was unusual in the Clock Tower, since people here weren't particularly fond of modern technological gadgets. "It's a video uploaded by an indie rock band."

"First it was on the news, now it's online video?" The secrecy surrounding the Holy Grail War has completely collapsed, but most people will just think it's cosplay, so it doesn't really matter. He looked at the paused screen; it was Saber, whom he didn't recognize. Then he looked at something else—a girl playing the piano. "Golden eyes? Who's this girl? Do you have any information?"

He had a vague, uneasy feeling, not much better than when he saw Gilgamesh back then.

"This girl? No. Besides, it seems something unpleasant has been discovered in the Arctic Ocean," the scarecrow added.

"Something not so good?"

"A huge, slumbering black shadow suddenly appeared in the depths of the Arctic Ocean, something never seen before. The area has now become a no-man's land, where most creatures cannot survive. Judging from the blurry shadow... many people believe it is a dragon."

"Dragons? How could that be? Such things don't exist in modern times." Webber Velvet immediately refuted this claim.

"Indeed, but, looking at it from another angle, perhaps it's related to the Holy Grail War, a summoned... byproduct?"

"You mean?"

"Furthermore, according to our intelligence, a rather astonishing surge of magic energy erupted in Snowfield City, which is one of the reasons why it is believed to be a dragon."

"But the Holy Grail War can't summon such things," he said, speaking from experience of the Holy Grail War. "Due to the scale of the ritual and the Master's ability, summoning fantasy species and gods is impossible." He hadn't been idle in the past few years either, researching and learning a lot about the Holy Grail War.

"Then let it be so, Your Majesty," he said calmly.

As Lu Mingfei walked, she kept marveling, "There really isn't a single mosquito!"

When she was in elementary school, she would always bring a bottle of mosquito repellent with her when she went on field trips to avoid getting bitten all over by mosquitoes. It was also a must-have in the summer because mosquitoes are really annoying.

"This is indeed a nice place, but I still advise you not to go any further."

Suddenly appearing before her was a beautiful green-clad figure. Her face was so beautiful that Lu Mingfei's limited vocabulary could not even begin to describe it, yet she spoke words of resistance in the gentlest of tones.

"Eh..."

"This is really something." Richard arrived beside Lu Mingfei with astonishing speed. "I was thinking of forming an alliance with the first Servant I encountered, but it seems that plan has fallen through." He believed that since the other party didn't like Lu Mingfei but didn't attack, there was still room for the situation to ease.

"I don't care about alliances." The green-clad figure moved away from Lu Mingfei. "But what good would that do for my Master? And do you really need an alliance?"

"Oh, what do you mean?" Richard suddenly became interested. From any perspective, he was not the strongest person in this Holy Grail War. Therefore, according to simple logic, Lu Mingfei beside him and him together would be enough to become the strongest team in this Holy Grail War.

"The girl beside you has a very ominous aura, and her power is astonishingly immense," 'she' commented, glancing at Lu Mingfei from time to time. Lu Mingfei felt that this beautiful woman wasn't looking at a person, but rather at an object, which was a little unpleasant. But she was a beautiful woman, so she decided to forgive her.

"Me...me?" She held up a finger and pointed to herself, looking puzzled.

Lu Mingfei had to admit that she was shocked when she heard others describe her as powerful. It was as if someone said she was more dazzling, better, and more amazing than Chu Zihang, the campus star of the academy. To her, it was an unrealistic thing, even more incomprehensible than her winning the game championship.

"It seems you yourself don't realize it. You clearly possess that kind of nature."

"Know what?" She really wished these people could speak clearly. What exactly was she? What was her true nature? She really wanted to know, but these people just wouldn't say.

"In terms you can understand, it's probably a monster. The one I've seen is one of the largest ever, and it even has the aura of a dragon."
