Type-Moon, the Path of a Magician

Several people present were breathing heavily, and it was obvious that the battle just now was not easy for them.

First, the Chaldean master and servant who finally reunited, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu hugged each other tightly and began to talk about their experiences during the time they were apart.

Unlike Ritsuka Fujimaru who is just a mortal, Mashu is a half-servant carefully created by Chaldea. His physique and combat power are by no means comparable to those of mortals.

Although she was also attacked by monsters on the plains of Mesopotamia, she did not face the same desperate situation as Fujimaru Ritsuka due to her own outstanding strength.

Then, while clearing out the surrounding monsters, she headed towards a certain direction of Mesopotamia, looking for traces of Fujimaru Ritsuka along the way.

While moving forward, Mashu met a mysterious older brother who claimed to be the flower magician Merlin.

Although Merlin told her that it was just a wonderful encounter.

But seeing how he was panting, Mashu felt that it was not just a simple encounter.

The white-haired figure in front of her who called himself Merlin probably came here from far away specifically to find her.

Although there are still many doubts, the matter is urgent and Merlin does not have time to continue explaining to Mashu. The trap arranged by Xia Yuan is about to begin, and he must rush over to help.

The plan to trap and kill Jin Gu was a matter of great importance. If it succeeded, the benefits would be unimaginable, so he had to help.

So, on the condition of finding Fujimaru Ritsuka, Merlin started a crazy journey with Mashu that lasted several hours on the plains of Mesopotamia.

Thanks to his illusion that blocked the perception of the monsters, the two of them passed through the beast tide directly. This allowed them to catch up with Xia Yuan's plan and join the battle.

Looking at the messy bushes on the ground and the burning forest around them, Xia Yuan and Merlin, who met for the first time in real life, looked at each other and laughed together.

"Haha, it's been a long time, Yuan. We finally meet in real life for the first time."

"You too, Merlin. Long time no see."

This was the first time the two met in real life, and they were both very happy. Merlin took off his hood and gave Xia Yuan a happy smile. Then he coughed twice and showed his signature cheesy smile again.

"Okay, let's get back to the point, my friend. I hope you can give me the same sincere praise as the Master of Chaldea. After all, my appearance was just right and perfectly solved the dilemma just now."

"Yes...! Thank you so much for your help!!"

Hearing Merlin's words, Mashu, who was still hugging Fujimaru Ritsuka, immediately turned her head and very formally thanked the strange man who brought her here.

Fujimaru Ritsuka also followed suit and thanked him.

"Thank you so much!!"

"Well, although it has been a long time since I wielded the holy sword, it seems that big brother's swordsmanship is still quite impressive~"

Merlin's smile became even more provocative after receiving the thanks from the two men. Xia Yuan couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand, looking a little helpless.

At this moment, a pure white furry little animal quietly crawled out of the bag on Fujimaru Ritsuka's chest.

"Fu~"

“Fufu!!”

Mashu was a little surprised to see the little white beast appear, and Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't expect it to follow.

"Huh? It's Cathy Parug?!"

As the original owner of this little animal, Merlin called out its name the first time he saw it.

However, what followed was not a touching reunion between master and servant, but Mr. Fu Fu's wrath.

Under Merlin's surprised gaze, the little white beast suddenly jumped up, spun 360 degrees in the air, and kicked him in the face.

The movements are very beautiful and powerful.

"Fufu... Fufu, Fu!!"

Translation:Merlin must die!!

Paji——

In the blink of an eye, a small cat's paw print with a clear outline suddenly appeared on Merlin's face.

Using the rebound force, Fu Fu landed on Xia Yuan's shoulder, then rubbed him affectionately, showing an attitude of a winner, mocking Merlin who was kicked over.

Although he was not very familiar with this little white beast, at this moment, Xia Yuan still wanted to give it a thumbs up.

"Well done, Mr. Fufu."

“Fufu!!”

Our lovely Mr. Fu Fu was also very happy about Xia Yuan's praise. He jumped happily several times on Xia Yuan's shoulder.

“Ahhh… It hurts so much, you white-eyed beast, have you forgotten who took care of you for so long?”

Merlin, who was kicked, covered his swollen cheek and slowly climbed up.

Then he rushed to Xia Yuan and continued arguing with Mr. Fu Fu.

The situation was out of control for a moment, leaving Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu and others who were watching the fight speechless.

He actually quarreled with Fu Fu. This Mr. Merlin always seemed unreliable...

Anna on the side couldn't stand it anymore and kicked Merlin in the butt, then said, "Stupid Merlin, if you want to play, go back and play by yourself tonight. Now we have work to do."

“Ahhh…!! Please wait for a moment, Anna. After I deal with this ungrateful wolf, I will take you out of the forest.”

“Fufu!!”

"Idiot...that's not what I meant."

However, compared to the playfulness among the few people here, Karna, as a servant, was still a little confused.

With an attitude of responsibility for the battle and the safety of the Master, he quickly stepped forward and asked Xia Yuan: "Master, why did you deliberately let that guy go? Most of his body has been shattered, and he will definitely not be able to recover in a short time. If you let me catch up with him, I can..."

"Yes! If that guy is really an enemy, his strength is too terrifying!! He was able to escape safely under the siege of so many top servants. If he is allowed to recover from his injuries, there will definitely be big trouble later. Why not chase him and get rid of him once and for all."

Not only Karna, but Roman who was on the Chaldean side also couldn't help but ask anxiously.

Although he was very shocked to see Merlin appear.

But at least he was sure that Xia Yuan was indeed a friendly force standing on the side of human reason.

After all, he knows Merlin inside and out. Although he is a big loser who has been staying in Avalon all year round and is reluctant to go out even on the end of the world, his position and strength are still reasonable.

Since he calls the Master in front of him named Xia Yuan a friend, it means that Xia Yuan also stands on the side of human reason and is a partner of Chaldea.

In other words, the fake Enkidu was the enemy of this singularity.

However, the golden chains released by the opponent, as well as this terrifying amount of magic power, even if he is not the real Heaven's Chain Enkidu, he is definitely not an ordinary person, otherwise he would never have been able to escape from the encirclement of so many Servants.

Although he could also see that Merlin and Xia Yuan did not use their full strength at the last moment, it seemed that they deliberately left a gap to let him go.

But what is the point of doing this? Isn't this just letting the tiger go back to the mountain?

If that fake Enkidu recovers, he will definitely be a very difficult enemy again.

Thinking of this, Roman couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Haha, calm down, Romani Akiman."

At this time, Merlin, who had finished fighting with Fufu, suddenly appeared next to Ritsuka.

"Although you may not be able to detect it with your short-sighted vision, I can tell you responsibly that the fake Enkidu, Kingu, will never be able to reach the Blood Temple."

"Even if he thought he had a chance to escape, it was just part of my friend's plan."

Merlin, who had seen through everything, said very confidently.

"Huh? Who are you calling short-sighted? You're the more useless one, okay!!"

After being ridiculed by Merlin, the usually calm Dr. Roman, who was sitting in the command room, suddenly lost his composure. As if he had received some great stimulation, he stood up and started a fierce rebuttal to Merlin.

This abnormal scene also surprised the employees around Chaldea.

"I don't know how you got out of Avalon, but you are the most useless guy! You have the qualifications of a Grand Master Magician and possess Ex-level clairvoyance, but you can't see the past or the future, you can only see things in the present. Did you grow such a pair of eyes for convenience?!"

"Haha, what a simple and efficient self-introduction."

Hearing what Roman said, Merlin didn't refute, but just smiled slightly.

"The reason why I can appear in this singularity is very simple, because the time of this era is earlier than the time when I was born. In other words, the me of this era does not exist. Do you understand this?"

An era that does not exist...

"So, you are using this non-existent assumed death to appear in this singularity as a Servant, right?"

After hearing Merlin's simple narration, the knowledgeable Dr. Roman immediately understood what he meant and why he was here.

"That's pretty much it."

Hearing this, Merlin nodded, "Of course there are still many requirements that need to be met. I won't go into the specific details."

"As for the reason why I am sure that Jin Gu will die, it is..."

Merlin glanced at Xia Yuan standing beside him, took a step back and gave the commentary position to the planner of the encirclement and suppression plan.

"The reason why I didn't let you guys chase him is very simple. I'm worried that he'll fight to the death and end up in a fight with everyone else."

At this time, Xia Yuan stood up and began to answer the doubts in Karna and Roman's minds.

"Although most of that guy's body has been broken into pieces, the body he used is a divine creation of this era, the Heaven's Chain Enkidu. And the magic furnace core he used is also the Holy Grail."

"If we continue to pursue him, we will definitely be able to kill him. But if he uses the Heaven's Chain and the Holy Grail to launch a suicidal counterattack against us, we will never be able to escape unscathed. We might even lose most of our personnel, so I didn't let you go after him, Karna."

"..."

Hearing this, Roman fell silent and nodded to Xia Yuan to show his understanding.

If the other party really carries the Holy Grail and is determined to fight to the death, there is no way these people present will be safe and sound.

However, he still felt a little regretful that he was not able to keep the fake Enkidu Kingu.

Karna asked without hesitation: "Master, please let me chase the enemy alone. I am not afraid of death!"

"No, there is no need for a meaningless pursuit."

Xia Yuan shook his head and did not agree to Karna's request.

"Besides, as Merlin said, he definitely can't run away. There are more suitable people waiting for him on the other side of the forest, and they have already prepared a fatal blow. We just need to wait here for him to come back."

Someone more suitable?

Hearing this answer, Karna couldn't help but frowned and thought carefully for a moment. Suddenly, a not-so-good image appeared in his mind.

He looked at Xia Yuan with some surprise and asked, "Could it be him?"

Xia Yuan nodded slightly.

"Well, I guess he has successfully intercepted Jingu at the other end of the forest by now."

Chapter 182: Death of Jin Gu (Updated)

Wu Xiao~!!

On the other side of the forest.

“Ahhh…! Damn it!!”

In the dense forest, Jin Gu, whose body was already in pieces, limped and tried to run, looking behind him from time to time, fearing that something was chasing him.

There was no movement, which meant no one was chasing. There was no sound of pursuit from the ground, could it be... the sky? ! !

At this moment, a sharp rustling sound came from above his head. Jin Gu suddenly raised his head and looked towards the sky with fear. However, after staring for a long time, he only saw a few birds that were scared away by him.

There was still no news of pursuit from the land, and there was no trace of the enemy, which meant...

Did they really not chase after me? ! !

Seeing that there was really no Servant coming to continue chasing him, Jin Gu felt a little bit unbelievable.

However, he did not stop his movements at all, and was still running desperately towards the Blood Temple.

Even though he was worried that there was a trap ahead, the current situation did not allow him to continue lingering here.

The damage to his body this time was too severe. In order to escape, he almost detonated half of the Heavenly Chains. This level of damage is absolutely impossible to recover by self-healing ability alone. If he doesn't return to the Blood Temple to repair his body quickly, his body might really be ruined here.

So Jin Gu used his remaining strength to hang on to his last breath, and always carried the magic furnace core in his body, the Holy Grail? If he really encountered a situation where he could not escape, he would detonate this source of magic power and die with them, clearing away the subsequent obstacles.

Although it was not worth dying together with several servants or humans, for the sake of his mother's resurrection, even if Kingu had to sacrifice himself, he would never blink an eye.

So under the dual pressure of extreme pain and tension, Jin Gu walked carefully through the forest where he had traveled back and forth countless times.

Normally he would only need to lift his toes slightly to return to the Blood Temple in an instant. Although the distance was only less than two kilometers, it seemed so far away at this moment.

As time goes by, the distance becomes shorter and shorter.

But nothing happened, which is very abnormal.
