In the world of Type-Moon, start by becoming Morgan's husband!

Ryunosuke Uesugi's room was also submerged in a sea of red.

Standing in the flames, Mephisto showed his true madness.

"Lancer, you didn't think I didn't notice anything?"

"Foolish hunters, welcome to my lab!"

290. Scathach/Destroy Caster/Report Provider (4k)

Mephisto really doesn't care about winning or losing the Holy Grail War.

After all, for this demon who had been dead for a long time, he didn't have any wishes that had to be fulfilled.

But if we must impose the shackles of obsession on it——

Then only leaving behind works can meet the requirements.

Burning, explosion, and then smoke rising.

The most vivid flame is described in a painful way, allowing everything to burn up in this red substance until the sound of wailing disappears.

In this way, he could fulfill what the man named "Faust" said.

"Appearance only lasts for a moment, but true beauty lasts forever."

yes--!

If I could leave behind something called "beauty".

Then Faust must be able to see it as well.

and so--

Before that, I would never be defeated by any Servant.

Beauty will never lose.

【This is the truth hidden in the fire. 】

[You and Tousaka Sakura know nothing about this. ]

[But this does not affect your speculation about what happened during that period - because there is actually no standard answer. ]

"Based on the information we have so far—"

"The Servant who defeated Caster should be Lancer."

Mr. Ghost's voice echoed in Toosaka Sakura's ears.

"After all, she was the first Servant to arrive at the scene - it was only natural for her to complete the subjugation."

Hearing this, there was a hint of sadness in Tousaka Sakura's eyes.

Mr. Ghost noticed this and asked gently:

"Sakura, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." There was a hint of worry in Toosaka Sakura's tone.

"I just feel that Lancer was the first one to arrive at the scene...but he didn't seem to do anything to stop it."

"She doesn't seem to care at all whether anyone lives or dies."

"..."

Mr. Ghost realized that Sakura Toosaka was still as kind as she was when she was a child after growing up.

He thought for a moment before answering Toosaka Sakura's question.

“In fact, whether it was stopped or not, we don’t know.”

"After all, this happened ten years ago."

"but--"

“I think at least one thing is certain.”

"Huh?" Hearing this, Toosaka Sakura perked up a little.

"What's going on?"

"That means Lancer at least prevented the situation from escalating further - after all, that was the last arson case, wasn't it?"

"From this point of view, maybe she didn't do nothing, but just encountered some situations that we can't imagine."

"But this is normal." Mr. Ghost continued to explain.

"after all--"

"Caster, who could cause such a disaster, must be quite troublesome, right?"

【You don’t know whether your guess is correct. 】

【But there is one thing you can be 100% sure of. 】

[That is, Caster in the Fourth Holy Grail War was a very tough opponent. ]

Every Servant in the Holy Grail War has a unique class.

For example, Scathach is a lancer;

And Altria is Saber.

Different job classes determine that each servant has a different way of fighting.

And as a Caster, Mephisto would naturally not be excluded.

but--

He also has a very special trait.

According to the job classification, ordinary Casters, because of their insufficient combat attributes, often resort to building magic workshops to win.

But Mephisto is completely different from these traditional Casters.

As an artificial life form created by Faust, he is not good at building a magic workshop.

As a substitute, Mephisto gained the ability to create a magical space called "Laboratory".

This is a product that can be constructed much faster than the Magic Workshop, but its range and effects are also greatly limited.

of course.

The word "laboratory" is already a beautified name.

Its actual performance is more like a man-made prison.

Mephisto himself holds the "key" to these prisons.

Without his permission, no one would be able to leave these places.

The photos that Ryunosuke Uryu had previously obtained of victims struggling in pain in the fire were all taken in these "laboratories".

He himself knew that if he set up his "laboratory" in such a blatant manner, it would definitely not be ignored by other servants.

and so--

In order not to affect the process of creating my work.

When Mephisto committed his seventh arson, he began to painstakingly set up a higher-level "laboratory".

He is indeed the target of the church's encirclement and suppression, and a prey in the eyes of other servants.

But on the other hand——

He is also a hunter, waiting for the servants who come to him because of the "Command Seals" in a wait-and-see manner.

The one who acted the fastest was Scathach in front of him.

"Lancer——!"

Mephisto widened his eye, making it look as if it would bulge out of it at any moment.

In the raging fire, he raised his hands high, his movements and expression as if he was participating in some extremely sacred opening ceremony.

The flames shooting up from the window behind him were like a stimulant to the demon.

His voice became even louder: "Welcome to be the first guest of the laboratory!"

however--

Faced with Mephisto's almost insane performance, Scathach was not moved at all.

On the contrary, she was calmer at this moment and even quickly analyzed the current situation.

The concentration of magic power would never increase without reason.

If it changes, it means that something has definitely been done to the area beneath your feet.

Considering that the Servant in front of him was Caster, it seemed that he had entered a magic workshop set up by the other party.

This was tantamount to invading his territory, so no matter what happened, it would not be surprising.

Scathach wasn't imagining things.

As the queen and gatekeeper of the Shadow Kingdom.

She is like a genius. In addition to being able to perfectly control every Gae Bolg Alternative, she also actually has a lot of knowledge about magic.

In a sense, Scathach can even respond to Kayneth's call as Caster.

Of course, she didn't need to do that, nor did she bother to do that.

The Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows currently doesn't think there is anyone worthy of being her Master.

"so--"

Scathach, who saw through everything, looked at Ryunosuke Uryuu who was standing next to Mephisto.

"You set up such a dangerous thing under your Master's feet?"

"Aren't you... afraid that he will die because of this?"

"..."

After hearing this, Ryunosuke Uryu, who was in the sea of fire, realized that his Servant Mephisto seemed to have done something extraordinary behind his back.

He angrily questioned: "Caster, what did you do?!"

Facing the questioning of his Master, Mephisto remained calm.

He took off his hat and saluted the other party.

"Master."

"I wanted to tell you the truth after the masterpiece was completed."

"Yes, I did set the stage for the show at your feet."

"but--"

Mephisto's expression became extremely happy.

"All of this is for you to be at the center of the stage and admire the most dazzling death!"

"Master, imagine this!"

"As the land beneath our feet explodes...everything nearby will be engulfed in flames."

"Countless people were wailing and screaming in pain around us, but no one had any way to leave this place that made them suffer so much."
