The Undying Death Knight failed to achieve the ending of the Heroic Spirit

But this short time was enough for Merlin to continue chanting.

The wind whispering magic from the same master wrapped around Merlin, and violent air currents swept towards the approaching Knight of Uprightness from all directions.

Under the cutting of the wind blade, the mortal knights were instantly crushed into powder.

Blood mist diffused in the air, but as the instigator of everything, Merlin's face still had that calm and elegant expression of being at peace with the world.

"Minanako, I've taken care of this."

There was no response - or rather, Caster did not answer her, and the explosion was accompanied by smoke.

Minanako let out a light breath and turned to Merlin, but before the girl could even say anything, the golden chain on her body was suddenly pulled.

Caster didn't react and was pulled away.

"Mysterious Standpoint"

Knight of the Round Table Percival [Puppet Knight] is enhanced by the camp/self-status. Durability is increased by two levels, and tendon strength is increased by one level.

The magic power of the Camelot court magicians Merlin and Minanako (caster) is affected by the faction, and the magic power is reduced by one level, and the magic power is reduced by one level.

Chapter 217: The Fourteenth Act: The Old Days: 7

2023-07-29

Standing in the setting sun, Merlin looked at the unconscious Fujimaru Ritsuka lying on the ground with a somewhat distressed look on his face.

"If you don't wake up, I'll have no choice but to take you out by force."

Naturally, her words received no response.

"Ah, really - I've already done preliminary treatment, but it's still a problem with the sealing ritual." Merlin muttered, she reached out and grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka's collar and lifted the girl onto herself.

"Although the Holy Grail asked you to summon me, I still left here. After completing a tour, this place has exceeded the scope of the [Singularity]."

——Even the restraining force probably didn’t expect that the agent it sent down would become the source of the change.

Her body began to flicker irregularly, and even Fujimaru Ritsuka on top of her was also stained by this curtain.

First escape from the dream, then——

His consciousness came to an abrupt end here. Merlin's body flew out like a torn sack, and a figure in blood-red armor slowly walked out of the shadows.

Merlin raised her head with difficulty, her bloodstained hair stuck to her forehead, but it did not block her sight. Merlin saw the scene in front of her clearly, the black and red knight armor holding a huge knight sword, that was the first knight of Camelot [Menechel] on the surface, but in fact it was a magic puppet used to cover up the truth that the [first knight] was actually a weak woman.

The knight puppet picked up Fujimaru Ritsuka from the ground and did not take any further action, but a slight rustling sound was heard from the forest nearby.

Then a woman with silver-white hair slowly walked out of the forest. She approached her puppet and looked down at the fallen Merlin from a condescending attitude.

She closed the magic notebook in her hand.

She placed her palm on Fujimaru Ritsuka's forehead, which immediately alerted Merlin:

"Minanako, what do you want to do——No, who are you!"

As soon as she opened her mouth, she discovered something was wrong. The technique that Minanako had originally engraved on Fujimaru Ritsuka actually lit up a blue arc of electricity, instantly causing the white-haired half-elf to shake his hands and take a few steps back.

"Damn it, not only did he tamper with his own memory, but he also took measures to prevent others from modifying his memory?"

Merlin looked at the half-elf in front of him and couldn't help but reveal a hint of sneer: "I thought that as a fellow Minako, you would have some way to crack it."

The half-elf glanced at Merlin coldly, but Merlin was not afraid at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "You'd better save your energy. Your tour has already failed. Now, you don't have any chance at all."

Minako ignored Merlin's ridicule and tilted her head towards Merlin: "Are you going to leave?"

"What else? There's no need to stay here any longer."

"It is a pity that the restraining force activated the Holy Grail and summoned a deserter like you."

"Whatever you say, Mina-chan. Except for me and the me in the other world, all the seven servants are probably puppets. It's better to keep the last spark than to fight a battle with no chance of winning."

Merlin didn't care at all that she was seriously injured by the opponent. She wanted to get up from the ground, but just as she stood up, she saw the armor approaching her.

"I'll fix this."

"You? You're just a loser. You've already failed your first time."

Minanako said nothing, but the knight in armor slowly approached Merlin.

“You…you?”

The lifeless indifference on Minanako's face suddenly disappeared, replaced by a bright smile. But facing such a shy and innocent smile, Merlin frowned as if he had seen some disgusting creature.

She hated this kind of emotion that was superficial but rotten inside - just like Minako at this moment. She had no emotional fluctuations at all but could perfectly simulate the emotion of "joy".

——It's really disgusting.

Minanako didn't care at all. She adjusted the expression on her face, and the shy and childish smile turned into a mocking and vicious smile in an instant as the corners of her eyes changed.

"I need her to cruise again. I need her to cruise with me."

Merlin understood instantly that she, Minanako, wanted to take his place and disguise herself as Caster!

As Minanako waved her hand, the silent knight in armor slowly approached and smashed down Merlin's head with the greatsword.

Merlin quickly rolled over to avoid the sword's blow. She squeezed out the magic power in her body and showed a look of confidence to Minanako.

"Do you think that person will notice you if I use all my magic power now?"

Minanako stopped moving and her face darkened.

Merlin got up from the ground and raised her chin towards Minanako. Minanako immediately understood and asked the knight armor to put down Fujimaru Ritsuka. Merlin walked towards Fujimaru Ritsuka cautiously.

She reached out and grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka, her whole attention was on Minako and the knight's armor. Just before her fingers were about to touch Fujimaru Ritsuka, her eyes blurred.

The magic spell bullet exploded from Merlin's back, and the next moment the silent knight's armor exploded, turning into countless tiny fragments that covered Merlin's body. The scales that isolated the magic ended Merlin's last thought of destroying himself and the enemy together.

"Don't reveal your position unless you have a perfect chance of winning." Mr. Merlin, you should be buried now."

Minanako stood still with her hands behind her back, and as she waved her hand, [Minanako] who was originally standing next to the knight's armor gradually faded and disappeared.

Minanako was a little surprised that she couldn't kill Merlin with one strike, so she whispered the spell again, trying to end this bastard with the next strike.

"Goo~"

But at this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka let out a soft moan, and Minako's face instantly turned gloomy.

——We have to kill Merlin quickly!

As her mind moved slightly, she couldn't help but chant the spell faster, but she bit her tongue without noticing.

Caster let out a slight gasp. She covered her mouth and was about to squat down, but she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Fujimaru Ritsuka's trembling eyelashes.

--That's too late.

As she waved her hand, Merlin, wrapped in armor, involuntarily picked up Fujimaru Ritsuka and put the girl on the bed in the room.

After doing all this, she waved her hand quickly, and Merlin immediately flew backwards and disappeared into the open cellar.

The pain on his tongue lessened a little, and Caster pressed his tongue hard against the roots of his teeth.

At this moment, she heard a slight rubbing sound coming from the front hall.

She walked out from the backyard with a perfect smile on her face.

She extended her hand and walked towards the staggering Fujimaru Ritsuka.

She had her first encounter with her "Master".

----

ps: Because there is no clear master-master contract between the two, in order to prevent Fujimaru Ritsuka from noticing the abnormality, Shumi had to deceive Fujimaru Ritsuka into signing a self-enforced contract before he woke up, eliminating the bug of "no contract" between the two.

In this chapter, Merlin forced Gudako to review his memories from his own perspective in the form of a dream.

Chapter 218 Scene : Head sucking without martial ethics

2023-07-29

Merlin narrowed her eyes, and the magic barrier she deployed protected Fujimaru Ritsuka very well.

The content of the self-enforced contract she signed was to [protect Fujimaru Ritsuka's safety], and it did not explicitly require her to fight alongside Caster - not to mention that the overly cautious little girl was not confident in fighting alongside her.

The magic barrier isolated her from the clash of external magic. Watching Caster being gradually forced back by Percival, Merlin smiled knowingly.

——When she dies, the contract will be invalid.

She had no doubt that Caster would lose, even if she took the field herself. Percival's spiritual base had obviously been strengthened by more than a little, and her magic power was faintly suppressed in this area.

Suddenly, she noticed the change in the girl's breathing, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't see her open her eyes.

Merlin understood, so she took the initiative to say, "Awake, Master?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka didn't respond, but Merlin continued without caring, "Do you have any impression of the memory you just saw in your dream?"

Knowing that she couldn't pretend any longer, Fujimaru Ritsuka opened her eyes. She looked at Merlin with a pale face and said, "You...it turned out that you were the one who caused the dream just now."

"Those are my memories. After all, you were still in a coma at that time. However, I can guarantee that those memory fragments are absolutely true."

Merlin showed a hint of a smile on her face - just like Caster's smile, it gave people the feeling that "this girl is definitely a bad woman", but unlike Caster's provocative smirk that made people want to bully her, Merlin's smile just made people want to punch her.

Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled noncommittally. She was not stupid enough to easily believe the instigation of someone she had just met. She wanted to say something, but suddenly a muffled sound erupted from Merlin's magic barrier.

The magic barrier was instantly shattered by the violent collision, and the humanoid object surrounded by golden chains fell at the feet of the two people.

The golden chains peeled off layer by layer, finally revealing Caster who was wrapped in the innermost. The silver-haired half-elf looked a little embarrassed, but fortunately she was not injured. She dispersed the chains around her and raised her head with some vigilance: "What are you talking about... I can't stop that guy alone."

"Hey, what a coincidence?" Merlin narrowed his eyes and smiled teasingly, "But my contract does not include rescuing you."

"Now that I think about it, I just said I'd let you go [at that time]."

The chains rose from Caster's feet, and the half-elf's lips curled up into a sneer.

In this weird atmosphere of tit-for-tat, the "cracking" sound of armor hitting the ground was particularly prominent. Percival approached this side with a silver-white spear emitting a cold and eerie light.

Percival's body had obvious signs of being torn. His dislocated left hand and exposed white bones in his calves all showed how fierce the battle had just been. However, there was not a single expression on Percival's face. As he walked forward, a long trail of blood was dragged on the ground.

But such a tragic wound could not shake him in the slightest.

The Servant who had already been transformed into a puppet would not delay his actions due to physical damage. The only way to defeat the opponent was to destroy his spirit core or -

"Hey, bitch." Caster turned to Merlin: "Do you have a way to seal him?"

"Merlin was stunned for a long time before she realized that Caster was calling her. She glared at him in dissatisfaction.

"Respect your teacher! At the very least, call me Miss Avalon!

But before she could say a word, chains rose from her feet and tied her in place. Then Caster quickly picked up Fujimaru Ritsuka and hid behind Merlin.

Merlin seemed to sense something as she felt the restless magic in the air. She raised her head and saw Percival's long holy spear gradually lighting up. She was so angry that she no longer cared about the insignificant issue such as the title.

Merlin propped up his hands and quickly recited magic. A translucent magic barrier that was even thicker than before appeared translucent and blocked the three people.

"You didn't tell me he could still use a Noble Phantasm!"

Caster said nothing, she just watched the barrier breaking rapidly and chanted a spell.

"Use your notebook! Don't bite your tongue again!"

As if his words were followed by magic, as soon as Merlin finished speaking, Caster's chanting of the spell on the other side stopped abruptly. She once again covered her jaw in pain and half squatted down.

"Meli, is that you!"

She stared at Merlin despite the pain, but Miss Avalon was not in the mood to argue with Caster. She shouted again, "Use your notebook!"

"It's so annoying. If I had stored it, I would have used it a long time ago!"

At this time, Caster's voice was a little unclear. She grabbed Fujimaru Ritsuka and hid behind Merlin who was unable to move. The magic mark on her arm lit up with a holy green fluorescence.

Caster unceremoniously covered Merlin's back with her hands, and the magic seal on her hands connected to Merlin's body.

"Leave it to you, Merlin."

The moment the strange magic power invaded his body, Merlin realized something was wrong - the little bitch Minako didn't want to use her magic power to help her open the barrier, but wanted to transform her body into a shield to resist defense.

But unfortunately, her body was restrained by the chains and could not break free immediately.

With a crisp creaking sound, tiny cracks began to appear on the golden barrier under the bombardment of Percival's treasure. Although the light column was reduced, it was still far from being negligible.

"Just wait!"
