Fortunately, the two of them knew not to make any strange expressions and quickly restrained themselves.

"So, we are here to help Archipelago truly reach the pinnacle of glory. However, interfering with the past through time travel is accompanied by various prohibitions. Although we cannot provide overt assistance, we can provide intelligence..." El-Melloi II quickly stated the key point of the matter.

"Yes, once you intervene, we can seize the initiative against the enemy at all stages of the battle."

Kenneth nodded.

"First, we must eliminate Caster. The other Masters still don't know where the target is hiding. As long as we attack the stronghold first, the additional Command Spells promised to be granted by the Supervisor will be in your pocket." El-Melloi II said slowly.

"Excellent! Not even a single Command Seal has been consumed yet, yet we can engrave a fourth on these hands. Hehehe, isn't victory in this war a sure thing for us?"

At this moment, Kenneth seemed to have seen his own victory, and the pride on his face became even more intense.

Just like that, this monarch, whom Koizumi and the others had secretly despised countless times, obeyed El-Melloi II's words and, under his guidance, slowly headed towards Caster's location.

Koizumi and the others silently followed El-Melloi II, ready to strike at any time.

If it was someone like Caster, Koizumi would be more than happy to stab him.

After all, Koizumi doesn't like Gilles de Ray that much, so he's happy to shoot him. He's just a little frustrated because Gilles de Ray has a very strong ability to hide.

Since El-Melloi II knows where the opponent is, the key is to rush over and strike him.

Walking in the damp and dim drainage channel, Kenneth looked at El-Melloi II and spoke slowly.

"However, for a battle that was half-for fun, a descendant of my family would deliberately intervene... This means this war is even more significant than I thought, right?"

"Please consider this possibility, which cannot be ignored," said El-Melloi II.

"Since we interfere with the past, we can only speak of confirmed events. We must remain silent on matters not yet observed in this timeline. Otherwise, the repercussions of tampering with history would be too great, triggering the activation of restraining forces. Furthermore, since we have intervened in this way, the future has also been gradually tampered with, losing its accuracy. What will happen next is also unknown to us."

"After all, it's a secret technique comparable to the realm of magic, so it's naturally not easy to use. The key is how to use it."

Kenneth couldn't help but nodded and spoke slowly.

It was precisely because Kenneth had a profound understanding of magic that he believed in El-Melloi II's words. In addition, El-Melloi II did not lie about the transfer of spirit particles, so the half-true and half-false language was even more confusing.

Slowly, El-Melloi II stopped and looked ahead.

"Well, we're almost within Caster's magic workshop. It won't be so peaceful any further."

There was a faint fluctuation of magical power deep in the drainage channel before them, and Koizumi and the others frowned slightly when they noticed this.

Diarmuid and Youmu stood up at the same time, one holding two guns and the other holding two swords, ready for battle, their eyes fixed on the depths of the drainage channel in front of them.

"No, it seems we've crossed the boundaries of the workshop... Something's coming!"

"Lancer is right. If I'm sensing correctly, this should be Caster's familiar!"

As if to echo the words of the two, a group of dark blue sea monsters, which looked like both octopuses and giant carnivorous plants, with green eyes all over their surfaces and a round mouth like a pistil on the top, and a large number of disgusting tentacles wriggling in their mouths, emerged from the drainage channel.

Chapter 456 Like Hell

Facing Caster's familiar in front of him, El-Melloi II appeared very calm and slowly explained to Kenneth.

"This is likely one of Caster's familiars. This Heroic Spirit's Noble Phantasm is powerful, and his abilities as a magus are somewhat lacking. However, a being that relies solely on numbers to suppress others is still somewhat troublesome."

"Hmph, this lowly creature, ignorant of the secrets of magecraft, has somehow managed to acquire such out-of-bounds power... Fuyuki's so-called Holy Grail truly needs to be handed over to me for proper management."

A look of disdain appeared on Kenneth's face, and then he gave orders to his servant, Diarmuid.

"Go ahead, Lancer! Eradicate everything that stands in my way!"

"Mashu, Ritsuka, don't take any action for now. Youmu, eliminate the enemy as quickly as possible!"

There is no need for Mashu and Ritsuka to exert their fighting power in this kind of battle. It is better to let Youmu end it quickly.

After all, there is no need to waste too much time on this place, so it is better to solve it as soon as possible.

Moreover, Youmu himself also hopes to fight with Diarmuid and show off his two-sword swordsmanship here. Maybe Diarmuid will have some special comments on this, isn't it?

Therefore, Koizumi is very much looking forward to this, thinking that if the two of them work together to defeat the enemy, there might be some surprises.

As expected by Koizumi, the moment Youmu's dual swordsmanship was displayed, a hint of surprise flashed in Diarmuid's eyes. After all, Diarmuid was also good at using two swords. The moment Youmu made a move, he roughly guessed Youmu's swordsmanship attainments. There was no doubt that Youmu's skills were top-notch among Sabers.

If you are summoned as a Saber, you will not be able to defeat the opponent without releasing the Noble Phantasm.

With a strong fighting spirit, Diarmuid's mouth corners slightly raised, and his attack became more fierce.

Mashu couldn't help but stare in amazement. Why did it feel like the two guys in front of her were fighting?

If Mashu told this to Koizumi, Koizumi would probably laugh, because Mashu was right.

Diarmuid was indeed aroused by Youmu's fighting spirit and wanted to have a good fight with Youmu.

However, since he couldn't really do what he wanted, Diarmuid had no choice but to fight in this way.

These familiars, which were not very powerful in themselves, became increasingly weaker under the fierce attacks of the two servants.

Almost every blow from both of them could kill a familiar directly, and this trend completely forced the familiars into a dead end.

"The enemy's momentum has weakened! Let's break through now!"

As Youmu said this, he attacked the familiar in front of him fiercely, the two swords in his hands flashing with cold light.

Diarmuid silently retreated to the side of his lord and slowly asked.

"Break through in one go. Is that possible, Master?"

"Yes. In the name of El-Melloi, I will slay these filthy followers!"

Kenneth nodded heavily and gave the order without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Diarmuid rushed forward without hesitation with his double guns and continued to fight with the familiars.

However, what Kenneth said caught the attention of Ritsuka and Mashu.

"El-Melloi... is he related to this Kayneth after all..."

The same thought came to Ritsuka and Mashu's minds, and they glanced at El-Melloi II at the same time.

El-Melloi II just glanced at Ritsuka and the others, saying that he would explain to them sooner or later.

However, after that, El-Melloi II still glanced at Koizumi secretly.

Koizumi didn't ask any questions, which meant he had already guessed his identity...

As expected, he is not an ordinary master. He was able to guess my identity based on just a few words.

Thinking of this, El-Melloi II couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was great that he didn't have to become an enemy of the other party.

No one wants to be an enemy of a guy who has both great wisdom and powerful military force!

Plus, this enemy is full of extremely powerful servants...

With the two of them working together, Koizumi and the others rushed into the heart of Caster's workshop without stopping.

It was a diverging point in the intricate low drainage channel, a hollow area connecting several drainage outlets that flowed to different places. Tall stone pillars responsible for supporting this area were neatly built and erected in the field.

In a place like this, where nothing but drainage water should exist, the first thing Koizumi and the others saw was—

Corpses... countless corpses, and all of them were children around ten years old. What was even more shocking was that none of these children's bodies were intact. Heads, limbs, internal organs, broken flesh... and so on were scattered everywhere. The disgusting smell of blood was so strong that it made people feel uncomfortable. Even Koizumi couldn't help but stare wide-eyed, his eyes full of shock and anger.

The moment he saw this scene, Ritsuka's pupils suddenly shrank and he was deeply shocked.

"This, this is..." As if falling into an ice cave, Mashu's body suddenly stiffened and she stood there in a daze. Her beautiful eyes were wide open, her pupils constricted, and an unprecedented feeling of fear was madly impacting her heart.

"Don't look!" Ritsuka quickly reached out his hand, but it was undoubtedly too late.

"Senior..." Mashu's voice and even her body were trembling slightly, and it was obvious that she had not recovered yet.

Although Mashu had experienced battlefields like the one in the first singularity, and casualties were something she could accept, this was different. This was a one-sided massacre! It was a massacre! It was a desecration of life!

Even Koizumi couldn't completely calm down, let alone Mashu, who was originally pure in heart!

"I'm sorry for letting you see this scene. I should have told you this in advance."

A look of apology appeared on El-Melloi II's face, and he glanced at Mashu. He actually forgot about this girl.

It goes without saying that Koizumi and Youmu are the same as Ritsuka, the Master, but this Mashu is completely different.

At least with this one, after getting to know him, I should be able to see the immaturity revealed in his words and actions.

A sub-servant like this, I shouldn't treat her the same way I treat an ordinary servant...

"It's too late to say anything now. It's okay to let Ritsuka and Mashu experience the cruelty of the battlefield sooner. Orleans was relatively safe, but there will definitely be purgatory-like singularities in the future. Facing a hellish scene, if they can't overcome the psychological barrier, they won't be able to repair the remaining singularities."

The shock and anger in Gu Quan's heart only lasted for a moment, and he quickly recovered. After all, Gu Quan had experienced many things and would not lose his composure because of such things, so Gu Quan quickly recovered completely.

"How horrible... to play with the corpse like this!" Diarmuid was obviously also greatly shocked.

"Well, it seems that the supervisor will indeed be eager to get rid of them." Kenneth nodded slightly.

Gu Quan took a deep breath, and as a breath of air entered Gu Quan's sensing range, Gu Quan's eyes became even colder.

Slowly, Koizumi turned his gaze towards the figure that slowly emerged from the hell of corpses ahead.

"Gil de Ray! You're the first scumbag who has ever made me want to kill you so badly!"

Chapter 457: Two People Working Together in Perfect Harmony

"Be careful! The Servant's reaction is very close to you!"

After Koizumi sensed the other party's approach, Dr. Roman also sensed the other party's presence.

But then again, how is this so similar to the police, who always only realize what happened after the fact?

Looking at the Caster in front of him, there was no doubt that he was the Gilles de Ray whom he had met in the first singularity.

His appearance didn't change at all. Compared to before he went crazy, he was like a completely different person after he went crazy.

"You hateful fools, how dare you block my pursuit of beauty! Do you also want to prevent the awakening of the Holy Virgin?"

Seeing the scenes in his workshop, Gilles de Ray couldn't help but reveal a deep anger on his face.

Gilles de Ray, who had seen Artoria through a special method, had already determined that Saber Artoria was Joan of Arc. He had been preparing to meet her, but this happened instead. This made Gilles de Ray very dissatisfied. However, if Koizumi heard what he was thinking, he would definitely be speechless.

Are you blind? Artoria and Joan of Arc look alike in every way except for their faces! How could her curvy figure be the same as Artoria's?

You have been following Joan of Arc in battles for many years, but you are actually dizzy. It seems that you are really not able to do it anymore.

"Marshal Gil de Ray!?" Mashu, whose eyes were blindfolded by Ritsuka, was slightly stunned when she heard this.

Even though she couldn't see him, Mashu had fought him in the past, so how could she not recognize his voice?

"This person is just like always. No matter where he's summoned, I can't communicate properly..."

Dr. Roman couldn't help but reveal a helpless look and sighed slightly in his heart.

Although I had seen him before in the first singularity, Orleans, I still had this feeling when we met again.

"This time, under the influence of the Master who summoned him, he has become even worse. Even if we can bypass the intrigues of the Holy Grail War, he needs to be eliminated immediately." El-Melloi II said slowly with a calm look on his face.

"How ridiculous! You are the ones being sacrificed here!!"

As he spoke, Gilles de Res had an ancient book wrapped in human skin in his hand. This was Gilles de Res's treasure, called the Prelatis Spellbook, which recorded forbidden knowledge about the ancient evil gods before the emergence of humans. However, the one Gilles de Res had was the Italian translation by the magician François Prelatis. However, even with just such a translation, it had the power to connect with the Outer Gods.

At least the moment the other party took it out, Koizumi felt a sense of discomfort in his heart.

I've had this feeling before in the singularity, but now it seems to bring me more discomfort...

The moment he opened the Prelatis Spellbook, a magical black mist with an evil and strange aura slowly emanated from it. Sea monsters appeared around him one after another, and their number kept growing. In just a moment, they had filled the surrounding area.

"We can't let him continue summoning! This is his workshop, and he undoubtedly has the advantage of terrain. We must get rid of him in one go!" El-Melloi II said immediately.

Kenneth also nodded and immediately gave orders to Diarmuid in front of him.

"Well! We can't allow such lowly people to continue to act so presumptuously! Lancer! Give me victory!"

"Yes, my master!" Diarmuid nodded and rushed forward without hesitation.

"Youmu! No need to stay! Kill Caster quickly! Lancer! Caster can summon those sea monsters because of the power of the grimoire in his hand! So, we just need to get rid of his Noble Phantasm, and Caster will no longer be a threat! That red magic spear in your hand should be able to do that!"

While giving orders to Youmu in front of him, Koizumi also gave a reminder to Diarmuid beside him.

Hearing this, Diarmuid couldn't help but smile with pride, waving the red magic spear in his hand.

"Thank you for your guidance, sir! On the hazard of my honor and reputation, this spear will pierce through the opponent's evil book!"

This is one of Diarmuid's Noble Phantasms—the Red Rose of Demon Breaker (Gae Dearg). A sharp spear approximately two meters long, it can negate even magical defenses. Its attacks are particularly effective against armor constructed from magical energy, and any magical enhancements or additional abilities applied to weapons lose their effectiveness upon contact with this spear.

Moreover, this spear has a very useful feature. Compared with those Noble Phantasms that require the release of the True Name, this Noble Phantasm is a permanent activation type Noble Phantasm and can take effect without the chanting of the True Name.

Incidentally, Diarmuid's other Noble Phantasm is called the Yellow Rose of Inevitable Destruction (Gae Buidhe), a 1.4-meter-long yellow spear cursed with "unhealable wounds." Damage from this dangerous spear inflicts irreversible damage, and even healing magic or regeneration cannot cure the inflicted wound.

These two Noble Phantasms are both anti-human-level Noble Phantasms, and they will still be at a disadvantage when facing anti-military or anti-city Noble Phantasms.

Youmu's combat power is only at the level of humans. Perhaps some of her sword skills can reach the level of fighting against the military, but her overall comprehensive combat power is only specialized against humans, and is not yet at the level of being able to deal with an army.
