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

The red stigmata on her face lit up, but soon went out again. In the quiet space around her, circles of purple-black ripples suddenly surged.

Illya's Command Spell was like throwing a stone into the ocean, which caused brief ripples before quickly returning to calm.

——The Command Spell failed?

No, it's not shielding, it's distortion.

Berserker's roar came from a distance.

The Command Spell was indeed effective but it could not enter the barrier before him.

Illya raised her head suddenly and looked at the three people in front of her, but there was no clue on those three faces which were also full of ignorance.

"If it's not them, then there is a third party?"

"Four... no, three Masters came at once?"

With the appearance of this strange female voice, four purple translucent barriers suddenly rose up around them, trapping the four people in the center.

A woman in a purple robe with most of her head hidden in the shadow by a hood appeared out of nowhere in mid-air.

Such an obvious feature allows people to identify the other person at a glance.

"Caster!"

I'm stuck. I've been feeling very uncomfortable these past few days.

Chapter 308 Caster

2023-07-29

What caught the eye was an indigo and purple hooded cloak and a purple robe. Her true face was hidden by the hood. She looked like a mysterious wizard in the legend, quietly floating above everyone's head.

The cloak behind the woman stretched to both sides and hung on both sides like wings. Two purple-black magic spots lit up inside the cloak. It was obviously not a magic that a normal human magician could achieve.

Cold sweat unconsciously flowed down Toosaka Rin's face. She turned her gaze to the other side, where Berserker was transferred by Illya's Command Seal but was blocked outside the barrier. There was a gleam in her eyes. It was not difficult to guess that this barrier of Caster was set up to suppress the teleportation of Servants.

In order to avoid Berserker's interference, she deliberately let Archer lure Berserker away from here, but she didn't expect that this would become the source of her own trouble.

"There is no other choice but to use the Command Spell to summon Archer and Berserker to break through the barrier together."

Now Toosaka Rin can only hope that the four servants can break the barrier in an instant.

Rin clenched her fists quietly. She was about to call on Shirou Emiya and Shinji Matou to use the Command Seal to transfer the Servant together, but four purple-black chains suddenly appeared at her feet and bound her limbs tightly. The black magic power flowing on the chains suppressed Rin's magic circuits. She felt a stinging pain as if she was pierced by a steel needle when she just mobilized her magic power a little.

Not only her, but also Shirou Emiya and Illya were trapped by the chains, and there were twelve chains wrapped around Illya, almost entangling the petite girl's body. Only Shinji Matou was spared, but without the support of Shirou Emiya, Shinji Matou's already injured body finally collapsed to the ground.

The Command Spell that was originally in an activated state quickly dimmed after losing the stimulation of magical power.

As the sound of Berserker's violent collision rang out, the purple barrier began to tremble with each collision, but the barrier never showed even the slightest crack.

Caster's robes trembled, and she slowly lowered her body. Finally, she landed beside Illya, and she stretched out a hand to touch Illya's face. Illya's body was bound, so it was difficult for her to even move her fingers. She could only watch the pair of black-gloved hands getting closer and closer to her. A strange touch came from her cheek. Illya, who had always maintained a strong attitude when facing Tohsaka Rin and the other two, could only bite her lips tightly when facing Caster, and her eyes were almost filled with anger.

"As a doll, you are truly a masterpiece of art. I really want to add you to my collection."

Illya, who thought Caster was going to use magic to kill her, said: "?"

Caster's sinister words made Illya shudder. For no reason, she had a picture in her mind of her hands tied and watching Caster feeding her in an extremely shameful posture.

Caster ignored it, she suddenly raised her hand, and the barrier suddenly opened a hole. The barrier that had been shaking suddenly stopped shaking at this moment, but the surrounding air suddenly became rapid, a pure black magic turbulence attacked, followed by a huge monster.

His black scales were scattered, his body was soaked in blood, his head was pierced, and there were dozens of wounds of varying sizes on his body. Only his red eyes that were not moving showed that he was not dead.

“Aaa…”

The roar became weaker, and if it weren't for the obvious physical characteristics, it would be difficult to associate the dying behemoth in front of him with Berserker.

As he roared, blood flowed out from the damaged scales. He arched his upper body and roared at Caster in front of him in a bluffing manner.

"Berserker."

Seeing Berserker's miserable state, Illya's voice weakened a bit. But at this moment, Caster completely ignored the meaning of this collectible android. She stretched her cloak to its maximum, and Caster's figure rose. She clenched her palm in the air and the barrier was closed again.

Caster approached Berserker at an extremely fast speed, her palms spread out, purple magic power gathered, and the space around her hands seemed to be distorted by the deep purple, gradually revealing a uniquely shaped dagger.

The dagger was brightly colored, but its blade was in an extremely irregular spiral shape. It was hard to imagine that such a dagger could be used as a weapon.

In fact, this is not a weapon used to "kill" the enemy.

Rule Breaker, the real name of this dagger. It is a conceptual Noble Phantasm that has transformed Caster's life into a tangible object. It is a short dagger that can break all kinds of magic. It is an anti-magic Noble Phantasm that can return objects strengthened by magic, relationships formed by contracts, and lives created by magic to their original state.

In short, the purpose of her Noble Phantasm is not to "kill the enemy" but to "break the rules", and her purpose at this time is clear - to break the contract between Berserker and Illya, and then sign a contract to become Berserker's new master.

She knew her own strength and thought clearly that no matter how well she hid in Ryudo Temple, the moment she showed up, Caster's hiding was gone. Even if he killed all the masters present, not to mention Lancer who was not here, Caster was not confident that he could defeat Archer who had the ability to act alone. The anti-magic power of the "Three Knights" was like a natural enemy to Caster.

So her target from the beginning was Berserker.

She deliberately chose this time period to appear when Berserker was besieged by the other three servants and was extremely weak, just for this moment.

——Even with the protection of the position, Caster did not have the confidence to fight Berserker in close combat, but Berserker was weak at this time and no longer had the extra strength to resist.

The closer he got to Berserker, the faster Caster's heartbeat became.

There was no way back for her. Berserker's recall would inevitably cause the other three servants to come back for reinforcements, and by then her barrier wouldn't be able to delay for even a second.

Caster raised his dagger, and Berserker raised his claws towards Caster.

As the two figures came closer and closer, and were about to cross each other, Caster loudly read out the true name of his Noble Phantasm.

Colorful spots of light bloomed on the dagger. Caster simply turned her body and dodged Berserker's claw attack like a leaf in the wind. The pillar of magic power that exploded from under her cloak also suppressed the tail that was stabbing at her.

She clenched the dagger in her hand, and only Berserker was left in her eyes.

"Rule Breaker!"

"Berserker, kill yourself!"

Illya suddenly screamed. She wanted to use the Command Seal, but the pain from just invoking magic power almost made her faint. Her voice and Caster's voice rang out almost at the same time.

But her voice reached Berserker's ears.

The already dull eyes suddenly burst into red light. Berserker suddenly swung his tail and let Caster's magic column pierce his chest.

The chest that had long lost the protection of scales was turned inside out and charred by the intense magic power, and Berserker's body quickly lost all life.

Caster adjusted his body unexpectedly, and her dagger arrived only then.

puff-

The sound of the dagger entering flesh was heard, but Caster's expression darkened.

The activation of her Noble Phantasm failed and it took effect on a corpse.

Why not Morgan? Because Crazy Mi can't beat Morgan.

Chapter 309 Bloody Death Knight

2023-07-29

Berserker's originally tall body now looked like a piece of broken porcelain that was about to break. Most of the black scales all over his body, especially on his chest, had shattered, revealing the charred flesh and broken bones inside.

The monster in front of him had completely lost its life, and the remaining scales on its body were peeling off inch by inch.

Shirou Emiya's eyes widened, but his open mouth and throat seemed to be stuck, preventing him from making any sound.

He didn't expect that Berserker, whom he listed as the strongest enemy, would be the first Servant to leave.

Toosaka Rin was also shocked by the scene that happened in a flash before her eyes, but she reacted earlier than Emiya Shirou - after dealing with Berserker, Caster's goal was undoubtedly to eliminate them, the Masters.

Trying hard to pull the chain, Toosaka Rin's hand moved closer and closer to her shirt pocket, but the "clang" sound of the chain still exposed her actions.

The dagger in Caster's hand disappeared, and she flew up from Berserker's corpse, looking angrily in Illya's direction. Caster raised her hand, and the chains wrapped around everyone were tightened, showing the bodies of the three people in a "big" shape in front of Caster.

Caster's facial expression could not be seen clearly because the upper half of his face was covered by the hood, but everyone present could see the gloom that was almost overflowing from Caster.

She looked at Illya, the woman who would rather let Berserker commit suicide than let her successfully sign Berserker.

She didn't understand why Berserker would obey her when she couldn't use the Command Spells even though she had suppressed his Magic Circuits. But Caster wanted to capture Illya and humiliate her severely.

But there was no time.

The familiar she released has sent back news that the other three servants have arrived near the barrier.

The chains grabbed Emiya Shirou's limbs and stretched him in all directions.

"Emiya-san!"

Toosaka Rin's voice trembled. She looked up and saw Caster turned around and walked towards her.

Under the dark purple cloak, purple magic power surged. It was the magic power beam that defeated Berserker earlier.

Knowing that she could not withstand this attack, Toosaka Rin's eyes darkened at first, but then they widened again as if she saw something.

Caster noticed Toosaka Rin's strangeness, but didn't care. The purple magic ball under her cloak shone brightly again.

boom--!

A tail hit Caster before the magic beam was launched, knocking him to the ground like a bug.

"Aaaaa!"

"Berserker?"

Toosaka Rin's voice revealed disbelief. She looked at the black monster that knocked down Caster. His body was covered with shiny black scales, and there was no trace of his dying appearance just now.

"Rin, are you surprised?" Illya, who was tied to Rin, laughed softly: "As long as I want, Berserker can be resurrected like this countless times."

Caster, who is not good at close combat, could have easily killed Berserker with magic, but he chose to attack with a dagger. Moreover, when he knew there were four servants, he did not destroy the Master immediately but put Berserker into the barrier. All these doubts made Illya instinctively have a bad premonition.

At that moment, Illya had all the guesses.

"Caster's Noble Phantasm may need to rely on a Servant to obtain something."

But no matter what Caster wanted, the fact that she chose to attack Berserker while he was still alive showed that her Noble Phantasm was useless against corpses.

It is for this reason that Illya chose to let Berserker commit suicide.

"……resurrection……"

Toosaka Rin felt her mouth dry, and she seemed to understand why Illya dared to deal with the three of them at the same time even though she knew about the trap.

That kind of monster can actually be resurrected infinitely - how is it possible to defeat it!

Illya did not tell anyone that Berserker would become weaker every time he was resurrected. Looking at Toosaka Rin's pale face, Illya satisfied her own evil taste a little.

The long blue hair fell down, and the hood covering the face was torn into pieces by the explosion. Caster's forehead was affected and blood was flowing down. He had pupils of the same color as his hair and a pair of slightly pointed ears that were elf-like and had a braid hanging from his left ear. He had purple lipstick on his lips, but no other makeup.

No matter who you are, after seeing Caster, you will subconsciously think that the person under the cloak is a charming woman, but when the hat is broken, the face revealed gives people a simple and exquisite feeling.

Caster looked at the deep pit created by the blow from Berserker's tail, and her eyebrows couldn't help but twitch. If she hadn't used the transfer spell that she had drawn up long ago before being knocked to the ground, her body would have collapsed the moment it hit the ground.

The barrier trembled once again, much more strongly than any previous time. In just two or three breaths, the barrier was covered with spider-web-like cracks.

He had originally intended to fight back after signing a contract with Berserker, but now he was injured by Berserker instead.

Caster looked at Berserker, who had returned to Illya and violently tore off the chains. She couldn't help but curse him as a mad dog in her heart.

Her body turned into purple particles and disappeared in an instant.

……

After Caster left, the chains controlling Toosaka Rin and Emiya Shirou also dissipated.

But Toosaka Rin knew that the crisis was not over. The moment she landed, she activated the magic engraved on her legs and rushed towards Matou Shinji while holding Emiya Shirou.

Sure enough, the next moment, Illya's order came.

"Berserker, I don't want to play anymore, just kill them."

The black beast twitched its tail and crushed over mercilessly.

The tail was blocked by a sword halfway. Ezequiel held the sword in his right hand and pressed his left hand on the blade, barely supporting his body. Behind him, Archer and Rider picked up the three humans present one by one and quickly distanced themselves. Seeing that the Master was safe, Ezequiel used the force to jump out of the path of Berserker's attack.

He glanced at the unharmed Berserker, but couldn't help but wonder in his heart - although Berserker's power was still strong, the suppression on him seemed to have decreased.

"Archer, be careful, Berserker has the ability to resurrect!" As soon as Toosaka Rin was put down, she shouted to Archer.

She had seen with her own eyes the resurrection of Berserker, who had died once, and his body, which was covered with scars, all disappeared after his resurrection - Toosaka Rin was very sure that it was not a Command Seal, because even the Einzbern androids could not have activated the Command Seal at that time.

She didn't believe Illya's threat of unlimited resurrection, but she had to be cautious before knowing the number of resurrections and the conditions.
