Miss Surtr will ignite the world

That's the only word to describe it.

Surtr and Medea, led by Ilya, arrived at the Einzbern family castle. After explaining the situation to the two anxious maids, while they were still recovering from the shock of their mistress having given away the Berserker while she was out the door, they swaggered into the castle's collection.

As a family of magicians that has been passed down since the first year of the Gregorian calendar, the Einzbern family's collection is undeniably extensive.

Although it is not Germany's stronghold, they still prepared quite a lot of resources for this Holy Grail War.

Now everything is cheap for Surtr.

All I can say is that robbing people is indeed fast.

After a whirlwind of activity, the group, carrying their packed bags, returned to Ryudong Temple by car.

Ilya's two maids, Sera and Lyselle, also came along.

Sera is Illya's head maid; she has little combat ability and her main job is to take care of Illya. Lyserite, on the other hand, has a weak sense of self due to technical limitations and, unlike Sera, excels in combat.

Now that the Holy Grail War has been lost, the only remaining purpose is to take good care of the master.

For the two of them, the Holy Grail War was never as important as Illya.

Now we don't have to worry about Ilya's meals anymore.

After returning to Ryudong Temple, the group didn't linger. After quickly tidying up, they went to the underground cavern of Mount Enzang.

This is Surtr's second time visiting this place since his last exploration.

It still had that same cold, damp appearance, and that unsettling malice.

However, the layout inside the large cavity has changed.

At the deepest part of the Great Hollow, in front of the stone pillar at the center of the Holy Grail ceremony, a huge magic circle is engraved.

Candles were lit around the magic circle, and various materials were placed in specific positions. In the center was a set of objects that looked like an altar, on which was placed a tree branch whose name was unknown.

Next to the magic circle was a smaller magic circle, about the size of a little girl lying down.

If Surtr is right, Ilya will be lying on that spot soon to charge the magic circle.

It looks like some kind of cult sacrifice ritual.

Surtr thought to himself.

"Stand on it."

Medea pointed her staff at the ground towards Illya.

"Wait, this really won't cause any harm to the young lady, will it?"

Behind them, Sera quickly asked.

She had already gotten a general idea of ​​the situation from the other party before she came, but she still couldn't help but feel excited when she saw this place that looked like an altar.

"It's just drawing some magic power; at most, it'll be a bit tiring."

"Don't worry, Sera, I'll be fine."

Ilya offered the other person a word of comfort.

She didn't completely trust the other person, but if they really wanted to do something to her, there was no need for them to be so gentle.

Wouldn't it be better to just turn her into a silent power bank?

"But......"

Sera wanted to say something more, but she quickly realized that it was no use even if she objected.

They were facing an opponent that even Hercules could not defeat, so they didn't need to care about their opinions at all.

It's really unpleasant to be under someone's roof like that.

In the end, all we could do was helplessly remind them to be careful.

Surtr naturally observed the interaction between the master and servant. She thought she was quite friendly, but the words of a robber who had just robbed someone's property were obviously not so trustworthy.

But won't such a grand gesture cause problems? This is practically provoking Angolan Mainyu.

If she doesn't step forward to show her strength, wouldn't it make her seem like she's easy to bully?

Surtr expressed his concerns to Medea.

"There will probably be some resistance, but given their current state, they can't do anything too significant. We just need to keep the ritual running smoothly."

Will it take a long time?

"It takes about half an hour, and I only need three minutes of chanting time before the ceremony can proceed on its own."

So it's a tower defense game.

The area of ​​the magic circle doesn't seem very large, and it looks quite simple.

"Let's begin then."

Under the worried gazes of her two maids, Ilya stepped into the magic circle.

Medea stood outside the magic circle, tapping the ground with her staff, and uttered obscure words.

The magic circle activated automatically, a light shone, and a bright red Command Seal appeared on Ilya's body. A large amount of magic power was drawn from her body and gathered to the side.

Immediately afterwards, Surtr felt the surrounding environment gradually warming up, as if some higher-dimensional power was descending upon the place through a ritual.

Rituals, in essence, involve pleasing a higher being through offerings and then borrowing their power.

The high-ranking beings mostly refer to deities.

Considering Medea's birth, she was most likely that Greek goddess.

As the ceremony progressed, the cold air inside the cave disappeared, and warmth rose in our hearts, as if we were basking in the sunlight.

Deities associated with the sun or fire.

Thinking of the tree branch on the altar, Surtr's mind conjured up the image of a certain sheep.

Ok

Thinking about these things at a time like this doesn't feel quite right, but once you start thinking about them, you just can't stop.

Fortunately, the ritual does not necessarily attract the attention of the gods.

It's a function similar to automatic recovery; as long as the ritual is correct, it allows you to use your power.

Apollo.

The ancient Greek god of light, prophecy, music, and healing.

From the perspective of the other party's divine role, this thing is indeed most suitable for purifying the evil of this world.

This time it's probably a sure thing.

Although I really want to say this, it's best not to make any promises before things are over.

Thinking this, Surtr suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly.

A flame suddenly rose up from ten meters away.

A dark shadow could be vaguely seen emerging in the firelight and quickly retreating to avoid the flames.

The darkness was dispelled, revealing the figure of the newcomer.

Those were figures that almost blended into the darkness.

He was completely covered in a black robe, even his face under the hood was pitch black, and he held an old iron sword in his hand. He looked similar to a Servant, but it was something else entirely.

There are quite a few.

So that's how it is; this is the Angolan Manuel's rebellion.

"Is that... a Servant?"

Sera, who was standing near Ilya, also noticed what was happening. Surtr's sudden attack startled her, but her attention was quickly drawn to the dark figures that suddenly appeared around her.

"Protect, Ilya."

Lisellet spoke monotonous words as she stood in front of Ilya and Sera.

Although Lyselette is weak-willed, she is quite formidable in combat.

His strength alone could even rival that of Medusa.

But since Surtr is here, there's no need for them to intervene.

"Those are shadow followers, heroic spirits that become shadows because their summoners are not strong enough, or simply spirits that are not qualified to be heroes. They are not very strong opponents; I can handle them alone."

"How can this be? Even just a quick glance reveals more than a dozen names."

Even if they aren't all Servants, this number is troublesome enough.

"Well, you guys just stay over there and watch."

Let me enjoy the experience all to myself.

FSN: Chapter 30 Shooting Game

The Holy Grail summoned the Shadow Servant.

This shows that Medea's methods were indeed effective; otherwise, the other side would not have retaliated in this way.

No black mud was seen appearing, so the other party was probably still asleep, or perhaps could only stay in the Holy Grail, so they chose to use this method.

But isn't this quantity a bit too small?

Only ten or so, who do they think they are?

Despite being called a Servant, they are nothing more than remnants and resentment, lacking self-awareness and unable to unleash their Noble Phantasms, making them completely different from true Servants.

There may be some strong ones among them, but their strength is still quite limited.

To Surtr, these guys were like walking rough stones; he couldn't let Sera and the others steal his kills.

Please let her enjoy the experience all to herself.

Surtr raised his hand, instinctively intending to unleash an area-of-effect attack to burn all of these guys to ashes.

But the thought that the ceremony was still underway behind her made her movements too large and caused it to be interrupted was alarming.

Let's be a little more careful.

That's what Surtr thought.

In the blink of an eye, a dark figure lunged at Surtr from behind.

The target was Medea, who was chanting a spell behind them and was completely unprepared.

But before he could get close to his target, a fireball the size of a fist flew from his side and struck the dark figure squarely in the chest.

boom.

An explosion rang out, and the shadowy figure was blasted away like a rag doll, disappearing completely from the chest up, dying instantly.

hit.

Surtr made a gun-shooting gesture with his right hand and pretended to blow on it.

If AOE attacks are out of the question, then let's just use precision sniping. Come to think of it, she really enjoyed shooting games in her past life.

Especially a certain wonderful game that disguises itself as a shooting game but contains 18+ content.

At the same time, a system notification also came to my mind.

[Defeat the Shadow Servant, Reward: 10 Primogems]

That's very little.

It was only one-tenth of Hassan's, and not even as much as the old bug.

However, since it's something that can be killed with a single fireball, we can't expect too much.

Fortunately, there are still quite a few of them, and with the Holy Grail, this thing is practically inexhaustible.

Da da da da

Sounds like machine gun fire echoed through the large cavern, followed by a series of muffled explosions.

The constant stream of kill notifications echoing in his mind made Surtr unconsciously curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

Although you can block it, it's definitely more enjoyable to leave it on in situations like this.

Lyselette, who had originally intended to help, also stopped in her tracks due to Surtr's highly efficient killing methods. The group of Shadow Servants couldn't even get close to the ritual area, let alone launch a sneak attack.
