Chapter 309 Gathering of Heroic Spirits
Just as Yu was about to catch up with the energetic young man, she suddenly heard the chirping of insects.
Following the sound, they saw a man wearing a hooded sweatshirt standing not far from Rin Tohsaka and the others, gazing into the distance.
The man was surrounded by a dense swarm of insects, a sight that made one's skin crawl.
Shi Chen frowned and looked away. His eyesight was excellent, so he could clearly see the body structure of the insects.
It's so densely packed, it's disgusting.
But the thought of even more disgusting worms inside that man made him want to vomit.
Toki naturally recognized him: Matou Kariya, the representative of the Matou family in this Holy Grail War.
He's just a pitiful person.
But that shouldn't be the case. He already took Shi Ying away, so why is this guy still participating in the Holy Grail War?
But it doesn't matter.
In case the food eaten at night is actually vomited up, the hour will pass by quietly.
He quickly found the trail of the energetic young man.
It's amazing how fast this guy can run, with broken ribs and a broken hand, his will to survive is so strong.
Shi Chen still has some memory of him. He is mentally unstable and is a murderer who wants to understand and master death.
That guy deserves to die.
Because his injuries were so severe, the young man staggered for a long time, leaving bloodstains all the way, before finally reaching his destination.
It was in a stone cave by the sea.
Shichen concealed his presence, preparing to follow him into the stone cave, but before even reaching the entrance, he smelled an extremely strong stench of blood.
Because of his vampire nature, he should normally like blood, but the strong, fishy smell that hit him made him particularly disgusted.
It even had a fishy, foul smell mixed in.
The child we just rescued is one of those who recently disappeared; the children who disappeared before that have not yet been found.
The stench says it all.
Shi Chen held his breath, frowned, and mentally prepared himself before slowly walking into the cave.
Then, once inside, he underestimated his own capacity to accept things.
Deep inside the cave was a large open space with something resembling an altar in the middle, and the ground was covered with a layer of red and black liquid.
It's all blood!
Not only that, but the surrounding area was littered with corpses and severed limbs, all of them children.
It was like purgatory!
A normal person would absolutely not be able to stand it and would vomit immediately.
The scene that Shichen saw through the screen back then was too conservative.
Damn it!
But after sensing the time, the culprit was nowhere to be found!
"Master? Master? Are you there? I'm in so much pain!"
The young man cried out, but received no response. So he sat down on the ground next to the altar, which was covered with red and black liquid.
Shi Chen stared at the energetic young man, but managed to resist the urge to kill him right then and there. This guy was the master who had instigated this whole mess.
If you kill him, the Servant will sense it.
Just in case, let's wait for him to come back and solve it together.
Even if a Servant kills its Master, it will quickly dissipate without a new Master or a supply of magic.
But Shi Chen wanted to deal with him personally.
Moreover, there's no guarantee that the guy won't just stand there and plunder the lives of ordinary people to replenish his magic power.
After waiting for a while, just when Shichen thought the young man would bleed to death, a man in a long robe walked in.
The man was surprisingly young, and his facial skin looked quite smooth, but his eyes were rather unusually large, almost as if they were about to burst out.
"Ryunosuke, I'm back! I saw the saint! It must be Joan of Arc! It must be her! She's still so beautiful!"
§」
Ok?
Upon hearing the man's words, Shi Chen raised an eyebrow.
Joan of Arc was not involved in this Holy Grail War, and the only one who resembled her was Saber.
In other words, this guy met Saber.
"Sir..." the energetic young man called out weakly.
"Ryunosuke!"
The man noticed the young man's unusual behavior and rushed to his side, only then seeing his condition clearly.
"Ryunosuke! What happened to you? Who hurt you like this?"
"Sir... I'm so sorry, I messed it up."
"No! This isn't the time to talk about that, I'm here to save you!"
Hearing this, Shi Chen decided not to hide it anymore; these two were acting quite affectionate.
A red spear appeared in his hand, and without hesitation, he threw it at the two men.
"Who goes there?!" The man realized what was happening and turned to avoid it, but the spear pierced the young man's heart.
He died instantly.
"Ryunosuke!"
"Unfortunately, we couldn't kill two birds with one stone." Shi Chen revealed himself, stepping onto the altar.
"You are... the Saintess's Master?" The man recognized Shi Chen at a glance.
The man was Caster, and he naturally witnessed the situation when Saber and Lancer were fighting.
Shichen also recognized him, and stared at Caster with icy eyes: "Jill, you deserve to die."
"You actually...recognize me? Did the Holy Maiden tell you? She really does remember me!" Caster's face lit up with joy, no longer caring about the young man's life or death.
The only person so obsessed with Joan of Arc was Marshal Gilles de Rais. He was an invincible commander in his lifetime, but his greatest strength was not his own military prowess but his wealth.
However, he later went astray because of Joan of Arc's death.
His purpose in participating in the Holy Grail War was solely to resurrect Joan of Arc and obtain her.
Shi Chen can only say that he's dreaming. He still wants Joan of Arc, but unfortunately, he can't meet her.
"Don't even dream about it. Saber doesn't know you, and she's mine."
"What...did you say?" Caster suddenly asked in a cold voice.
"I'm telling you, Saber is mine, so stop daydreaming." Shichen sneered, making no attempt to explain Saber's true identity.
The effect was very good. Caster paused for a moment, looked down at the lifeless young man, and said calmly, "Ryunosuke, don't worry, I will avenge you."
"I won't give you that chance."
As Shichen spoke, a yellow spear appeared in his hand, which he threw at Caster without hesitation.
But the yellow spear missed its mark, piercing nothing, and Caster suddenly vanished from the spot.
"Master of the Saintess, you deserve to die! How dare you lay a hand on my Joan of Arc! I will not let you get away with this!"
Inside the cave, only Caster's furious roar remained.
As the sound disappeared, an astonishing burst of magic suddenly erupted outside, accompanied by the sound of ocean waves.
Shichen underestimated the Heroic Spirit, allowing the opponent to unleash its final move, but it wasn't a big deal.
Shi Chen looked around, sighed, and golden flames appeared in his hand, then surged up and spread throughout the entire stone cave.
These children cannot be saved; we can only use his sacred fire to help them pass on to the afterlife.
They burned the entire cave clean before finally arriving outside.
"Roar!"
A roar like that of a wild beast pierced the heavens and the earth.
On the sea, a huge monster appeared out of nowhere, its body covered in tentacles and shrouded in purple mist, resembling a giant squid.
The deep-sea monster, Caster's Noble Phantasm—the Curiosity of the Conch City.
Shi Chen only glanced at the monster's appearance before looking away.
That's disgusting, even more disgusting than insects.
The messy, animal-like tentacles covered the entire body in dense, tumor-like lumps, enough to trigger trypophobia.
At the appointed time, a barrier was erected, completely covering the area to prevent ordinary people from entering. Then, the equipment was summoned to summon the Phoenix King to deal with the guy directly.
He could easily deal with any of his familiars.
But just then, Saber's voice came.
"Time!"
With the sound, Saber descended from the sky and landed beside Shichen, already dressed in her armor.
"Saber, what brings you here?"
"Such a big commotion... what is that monster?" Saber stared seriously at the monster in the sea.
"The monsters summoned by Caster."
"Caster?"
"You should have already met him."
"That guy who mistook me for Joan of Arc?"
"It was him, and he's the one who caused the disappearance of so many children. He has already brutally murdered quite a few children."
"What?" Saber's expression changed, and a hidden weapon appeared in her hand.
"I'll kill him right now!"
She was angry, which is understandable; her sense of justice wouldn't allow a Servant like Caster to exist.
"No rush," Shi Chen said, grabbing her wrist.
"Shichen, you?" Saber looked at him in confusion.
"Other Servants have arrived," Shichen said, looking up.
"What?"
Saber looked up at the appointed time and saw a spaceship-like object made entirely of gold, upon which sat a man clad in golden armor with an exceptionally handsome face.
"Hahaha!"
Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter rang out, and another burly, red-haired man riding a horse-drawn carriage flew through the air. Beside him was a young man in a suit, looking terrified.
The burly man quickly drove the carriage to the ground, picked up the young boy, and walked over without any suspicion.
"Saber, and Saber's Master, hello."
The four heroic spirits have reunited once again!
