Back at Einzbern Castle Once More
Walking towards Einzbern castle felt quite nostalgic to Ren.
It reminded him of the time when he revealed his true identity as Magician.
Before that he used to have so much free time...now all he does is teaching a bunch of kids who believe that they are a gift from the world to humanity.
While the same time behind the scenes he started to plot something much bigger.
The best part is that there is no rush, as someone who has a limitless lifespan he is in no rush, not that he feels a sense of time rush anymore…
Well, he has some rush which usually comes from overwork when he has to fix his wife's and his knight mess.
Once the group arrived at the Einzbern boundary field, Rin slightly stiffed, the girl remembered the brutal lesson in magecraft she had to experience from her so-called Guardian who brought her here to show how a real boundary field looks like before telling her she is far away from creating something like that.
The fake priest known quite well how to 'motivate' his student…
"Should I?" Morgan asked with a casual look towards her husband.
"All yours dear."
Morgan for second a smirked hearing all clear.
It has been some time since she 'revealed' herself to the world…
Ren's students who have not seen Morgan in action before looked with interest at what a Queen of Fae can do, while the Blue Saber instinctively got on edge waiting for something yet knowing that there won't be any threat to her, it still an instinctual thing.
For second the pale blond simply lifted her hand, and a blue-greenish aura surrounded her, next moment whole forest around them simply came to life.
The vegetation got more colourful and blue-greenish particles started to manifest from the leaves, trees, grass…
As if the vegetation itself is creating them.
Before long this effect has spread as far as one could see.
Indicating that Morgan is taking over, nature itself…
Before long Morgan casually... just snapped her fingers and the boundary field which was protecting and hiding Einzbern castle simply shattered like glass…
Rin eyes went wide seeing the barrier which suppose to be borderline impossible to break in her eyes simply ceased to exist.
The twin tail girl knew already that Morgan is an extremely powerful magecraft user. But, seeing things first-hand like that…
There was no intricate magecraft, no chants, no staff waving, no foci… nothing just casual hand wave…
How can someone fight something like that?
The most affected by this was of course King of Knights…
She know that Morgan from her time was nothing like this, the blond knight already established that when they met for the first time.
The fact that she looked around in her early twenties was enough to put her on edge as Morgan of that time was still her ally, and was not at her peak of power.
Yet, this one appeared looking like in her twenties and simply screamed power under a tight leash.
Now Blue Saber saw a casual demonstration of her half-sister's power, how on Earth someone suppose to fight someone like that?
Once the boundary field was down Morgan motioned to enter. She alongside her husband lead the way.
Both of them looked like they were having a casual walk-in a forest.
Not looking that they were in the middle of war or inside enemy territory.
After walking for around fifteen minutes the group spotted the castle.
Once more Morgan snorted seeing that It was very much identical to the one she remembers.
"So, you came to finish me off?" Illyasviel said with a frown, seeing the very same group who had beaten her last time.
The homunculus girl was not that afraid more like annoyed, that's why she is already waiting for them outside.
King of Knights took a step forward her invisible sword manifest on her hands.
Normally Artoria would try to establish some sort of dialogue. But, from what she was told by her Master the white-haired girl won't going to listen to any reason for the simple reason that she believes that with her Berserker she can do whatever she wants.
"This time I will be facing Berserker!" The blonde declared to the Einzbern Master.
Illyasviel didn't say anything, instead her Servant manifested next to her.
Saber's eyes slightly widened, before turning into a frown.
Something was off with Berserker, and she can't put her finger on what.
The only thing she can tell is that something was different with the massive Demi-god.
"Berserker kill her!"
The white-haired girl ordered sharply, her Servant nodded and rushed with a burst of speed.
Artoria quickly intercepted the rapid attack, her eyes slightly widened once more after feeling the amount of force behind the attack!
'Just how strong is my Alter form to take this attack head-on!' The King of Knights grimaced as she was sent flying, she could feel how her hands started shaking from that recoil created from the collision of their weapon!
'Don't lower your guard, the girl lowered Madness Enchantment of her Servant, that in turn made the Demi-god stronger.'
Artoria's eyes went wide comically when she heard this absurd thing!
'What? But how does this even work!? Madness Enchantment suppose to make Servant stronger for price of sanity!' The girl argued while same time she landed with a flip on the ground her combat boots left a trail on the ground as she finally stopped.
Not that Heracles allowed her to get hold of herself.
As the massive Son of Zeus rapidly advanced at her with quick steps and engaged in combat befitting a Demi-god of his calibre.
'This is not good! I can't take direct hits from him!' Artoria very quickly realised that she can't fight him like this as her whole body started screaming in protest from the punishment she was receiving!
'Don't worry, it's time for me to show you why I am your Master.'
The moment she heard her Master speak directly in her head she felt power rushing through her body.
Not only that. But, her body started rapidly healing as well!
'T-This… is Avalon!?' Artoria's eyes went wide when she felt the familiar energy of her sheath wash her over.
One could visibly see her wounds glow gold before simply vanishing.
'Can't upgrade your parameters much since your vessel was not created for that, this is the limit of the empowerment, if I add more your vessel will start breaking apart, on better part the Avalon healing factor will remain.'
Blonde Knight slowly nodded she could not believe her Master has Avalon! But then she remembered how he has Morgan, her Alter version, Lancelot…
It's like he is collecting everything related to her Legend…
'This is enough. Much appreciated... Master…' For now, the blonde decided to focus on the enemy in front of her.
The King of Knights started fighting back while empowering her attacks with her 'Strike Air'.
The difference quickly manifested between them, Artoria's weapon was far stronger than Heracles.
And since she doesn't need to care about her Prana reserves she can quite simply spam Strike Air and underpowered Excalibur blasts.
Not that Artoria will ever tell anyone that she copied this style from her Alter version, she saw how the darker version of her simply and constantly used empowered swings of that black Excalibur.
Dismantling is the greatest hero from Greece little by little.
Before long the Golden Sword went through the Demi-god's guts.
'Don't let up! use your Excalibur, you have my permission.'
Artoria was about to pull her sword out but she heard her Master's order.
She was baffled from disbelief when she heard that, Ren wants her to use Excalibur blast when the blade is still inside Heracles guts?
Before she can complain, she saw the massive Son of Zeus start coming back to life just like that!!!
"Very well, since this is how you come back to life, let's see you do that with a full blast of this!!!"
Instead of releasing Excalibur while inside the Demi-Gods gut Artoria pulled the blade out, and quickly positioned herself that the blast would go away from the castle.
She does not doubt that her group will survive a simple Excalibur blast since they all are monsters.
The blonde King of Knights simply doesn't want to cause unnecessary collateral damage.
So, once she positioned, Saber lifted her blade and started rapidly charging the sword with prana.
Since the amount of prana she has is way above anything she had before, the charge was nearly instantaneous…
Just a few moments later she lowered the golden sword.
"EX-CALIBUR!!!"
Torrent of golden light descended on nearly regenerated Berserker, the Demi-god had no chance to dodge such blast which was done so close to him…
Very next the greatest hero of Greek myths has been consumed by the Sword of Promised Victory.
~~~
"N-No Berserker!" Illya shook her head when she felt a connection with her Servant being severed.
"Hmm, so she used my style. Well, it does work better against such a large opponent." The fallen knight said with a casual shrug as she observed the battle from the side.
Of course, ignoring the uprooted trees and craters created by this short but destructive battle.
"That enchantment on sword, is Merlin's work isn't it?" Morgan asked from the side, she did wonder where this Noble Phantasm originated from.
"It is, it was added to the blade when I lost my scabbard." Tyrant of Knights answered with a simple nod.
"And how on Gaia name did you lost a Divine Construct of Primordial God?" Morgan slowly turned to the side and looked at her half-sister with wide eyes.
How does such a thing even happen? Aren't this kind of weapons bonded with its users?
The paler Artoria scratched the back of her head from embarrassment.
"Well, it's your fault you know?"
"How it is my fault? If you kept them close to yourself such a thing never would have happened!" Morgan said with an eye roll.
The paler Artoria grimaced, soon enough an amusing argument started between those two…
Which Ren simply ignored, and instead looked at Illya who had a look like someone stole the very ground she was standing on.
While Ren's students slightly got closer to the Sorcerer as they saw that those two blondes might start a catfight which can level the whole forest…
"Ignore them, it's a regular event with those two." Ren saw how his two students nerviously looked at Morgan and Alter and calmed them down.
*Boom*
Earth cracked underneath Saber Alter as she stomped with her foot.
"Do they regularly destroy things as well?" Rin asked with a gulp.
"Yeah, sort off… I already forgot how many times I had to fix up things in Westminster…" The True Magic-user said with a sigh.
The amount of mind wipe Ren had to do is annoying as well, this is another one of the reasons why the Sorcerer started actively working on his plan, eternal life or not, he is annoyed with the amount of work he has to do when his ladies start throwing a fit.
Mostly his fallen Knight who gets pissed of by Morgan, well that lowered down recently and instead he had to calm his lovely wife down…
Which usually evolves into a steamy situation…
"I see…" Rin said with a gulp, thankfully she does not live in that timeline…
Ren only smirked seeing her relieved face expression, if only the girl knew what will happen tomorrow…
Nonetheless, there are some other things to deal with, and that is the white-haired girl in front of them.
"Einzbern, your Servant is gone, and I have a proposition for you." Ren's casual voice snapped the girl out from her disbelief, her gaze went on him.
"Just get on with it, kill me already…" She said with a sigh, she has failed what else there is to do? The homunculus would rather offer him to kill her, maybe he doesn't know her true purpose as Lesser Grail.
*Snort*
"You Einzbern are quite bad at this…" Morgan said as she walked over, her hair is slightly a mess as she was pulling Artoria Alter by a collar like some sort of disobedient animal…
"Yes, my dear wife, they are, my offer is simple I will give you a new body and in return, we will get the one with Lesser Grail inside of it." The Sorcerer casually offered.
Which made the girl's mouth open wide...
