Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 48

Lily tried to notify Archer through the communication between Master and Servant, or to summon him with a Command Spell, but Caster clearly didn't give her that opportunity.

Since that's the case, Lily could only concentrate all her attention on her hands and feet.

Although she didn't know what had been done to her, she was certain that Caster's magic controlled her body.

So, you can recover as long as you expel all the demonic power that has invaded your body!

"So you'll be free then, that's what you're thinking, right? Hmph, you're so adorable. You actually think you can break my curse this way? You're so naive."

The chilling voice seemed to be mocking her.

Indeed, a half-baked person who hasn't even met the basic requirements actually dares to try to crack the magic of the God of Magicians. In Caster's opinion, this girl is quite adorably silly.

"What... happened...?"

He mobilized his only remaining sense of freedom to explore within his body—

The magic of Caster.

The foreign magical power that invaded her body in order to complete the so-called curse.

...Open your eyes and look at your body.

It's okay, it's not a big deal as long as you calm down.

Lily comforted herself with this thought. Mastering the flow of magic in magic circuits was something she did every night, and she couldn't be more skilled at it.

Now, just repeat the process once more to find the Caster magic within your own body.

Even if it can't be expelled from the body, as long as it's trapped inside an arm, the legs and right hand should be able to move.

"--Huh?"

How is this going?

Lily did not sense any other person's magic entering her body.

There was only one spot, like a toxin, on the back of my neck.

"..."

Chapter 83 The Otaku's Room

Chapter 83

The flowing blood showed no abnormalities.

It wasn't the blood itself, but the entire blood vessels that were abnormal.

That location is where the spinal cord connects to the brain. Caster's magic severed the brain's signals, deceiving his own body...

It was just that simple, yet it caused abnormalities all over the body.

While Lily was still reeling from Cater's methods, they had unknowingly entered a room in the temple.

"..."

Is this really Caster's room? Are you serious?

A sense of absurdity suddenly overwhelmed Lily. The room was filled with several cabinets of beautiful girl figurines, as well as all sorts of cosplay outfits that were not worn normally.

Even the home of an average otaku wouldn't look like this. Only a legendary otaku could possibly go to this level!

how to say……

The witch, who had just seemed incredibly evil and cruel, suddenly changed her image in Lily's eyes.

In an instant, she went from a vicious enemy to the quirky aunt next door. The contrast was so great that Lily screamed in panic only after her pajamas had been removed.

"what!!!"

This witch's hobbies are so strange! She cast a spell to bring herself here just to do such weird things?

"Hold... stop..."

Lily's face turned bright red, whether from embarrassment or anger, she couldn't tell. She made broken, indignant sounds as she tried to stop Caster, this crazy woman's evil deeds.

You should know that, for comfort, the girl only wore pajamas on when she slept...

"Come on, try on this dress. I made it to your measurements."

"No...don't come any closer..."

In front of Caster was a floating mannequin, dressed in a pure white dress with blue ribbons adorning the waist and head. The ribbons, far from disrupting the harmonious color scheme, actually enhanced the purity of the white.

Just like the green leaves adorning a pure white lily, they serve a perfect, finishing touch.

Lily, whose body was controlled by magic, was unable to resist. She kept saying no, but she still obediently let Caster do as she pleased and put on that off-the-shoulder white dress.

The white elbow gloves that went with it were fine, but the low-cut design of the dress and the blue lace trim on the white stockings made Lily, who had never dressed like this before, feel incredibly ashamed.

How could I possibly wear this kind of clothing out in public?!

As the blue headdress ribbon seemed to come alive, it coiled Lily's blonde hair into a beautiful butterfly shape, and Caster waved a mirror over to stand in front of her.

"So lovely!"

The beautiful girl appearing in the mirror made Lily's eyes widen in amazement.

This is so beautiful! Even as a girl myself, Lily was stunned by the other woman's beauty.

No, the person in the mirror is myself...

"Mmm! They really match perfectly. Only someone petite and slender can pull off this kind of figure."

Caster rested her chin on her hand, commenting with fervor. It seemed that after getting Lily as her model, she was inspired with boundless creativity, and she kept drawing and writing in a small notebook.

-

When did you first realize something was wrong?

Archer, who was crouching near the guest room in his spirit form, suddenly felt a sense of incongruity, like a spider's web. He then materialized into a physical form and left the corridor.

"...Master?"

At first, Archer thought she was practicing some kind of magic trick taught by Rin Tohsaka.

Because the strange noise was coming from Lily's room.

"...Seriously. Aren't you asleep yet, it's so late?"

With a soft sigh, the red knight, Archer, let out a soft sigh.

Such enthusiasm is certainly good, as it can help her better survive the war. However, if she doesn't rest properly when she needs to, her body won't be able to hold on.

As Archer was about to tell her to get some rest, he realized his mistake.

"—"

His two white eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

The anomaly did not originate from Lily's room.

Under the moonlight.

There was a thin line, like her hair, that shimmered in the darkness.

The only wire was extended from outside the house toward Lily's room.

The fine lines were so invisible that even the protective barrier surrounding the house couldn't detect them.

If the enemy manipulating these thin threads deserves praise, then Archer, who can sense them even through several walls, is truly remarkable.

"------"

There was no time to think too much. The red knight transformed into a spirit in an instant, passed through the ceiling and roof, reappeared in physical form, and immediately leaped out.

A red blur streaked through the deserted town. Archer's mind was completely clear, his purpose was perfectly defined.

Simply follow this line to find Master Artoria's location.

All he had to do was get there as quickly as possible.

Even if the enemy camp is in the middle of the road ahead, or if it is a deadly place full of traps like the tiger's mouth, we are not afraid.

This is a mountain polluted by immense magical power.

The undead hovered overhead like crows.

The gathered magic, the remaining stripped spirit, the barren mountain swallowing all visitors.

If there is such a thing as a place of death, then this is undoubtedly the best example.

However, the red knight did not pause at all; he stepped inside without hesitation.

If this place is hell, then I am even more determined to rescue my master.

Running quickly up the stone steps, I encountered no obstacles as expected. The gate of Ryudong Temple was already in sight, with only a short distance remaining.

With the physique of a Servant, one can easily leap across the steps to enter the mountain gate.

"..."

But his steps stopped there.

On the steps leading to the mountain gate.

A servant was standing there.

A handsome guy named Sasaki Kojiro.

The assassin in Servant wields a long sword—a clothesline pole—and is a gatekeeper at Ryudou Temple.

Archer silently projected the twin swords Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, assuming an offensive stance.

His master was right across from that mountain gate.

But there are just too many unknowns about this servant in front of us.

P.S.: Goodnight. I haven't slept well since the cat came back.

Chapter 84 Passing By with Force

Chapter 84

I gave my name without any hesitation.

There was no air of authority, but the chilling hostility was almost transparent.

"—"

This detached and desireless nature makes it impossible to grasp the extent of his power.

A servant can tell the opponent's level.

Assassin isn't a particularly good servant; he should be easy to deal with.

As this thought crossed my mind, I naturally recalled a servant who once called himself an Assassin.

Then, I crossed out that wishful thinking that had been in my mind.

"Assassin, get out of the way."

Archer's tall figure was slightly hunched, looking like a beast crouching low, ready to pounce.

The two sides will clash at close range, separated by only one step.

Neither Assassin nor Archer are the type of classes that engage in direct one-on-one combat. However, at the entrance of Ryudouji Temple, a noisy breeze swept by, bringing elegance while also solidifying the murderous aura before the gate.

Assassins and archers, a head-on battle like a knightly duel, is about to erupt!

-

"Ok?"

Pendragon, who was fast asleep, sensed an unusual magical fluctuation nearby and was instantly awakened.

"Well--"

Rin, fast asleep, sensed the movement in her arms and made a sound that seemed to indicate dissatisfaction through her nose. Then she buried her face in her long, silver-gray hair and hugged her even tighter.

Pendragon had intended to get up and check on the situation, but the soft, warm embrace of the bed completely sealed her off.

"It was probably C-Mom who did it..."
