Chapter 1410 Unfavorable situation, but it has nothing to do with me
Sis-Con with Dimensional Chat Group
The Fortress of Millennia, Trifas.
When Haru and Fiore returned to the fortress and entered the hall, the entire hall was presented with a depressed, heavy, and gloomy atmosphere.
Vlad III, who sat on the throne, would usually show a calm expression, but at this moment, his face distorted with anger.
Even Darnic, who stood beside Vlad III, was also very gloomy.
Roche and Caster stood next to each other silently, without saying a word.
There were also two masters who were present in this hall with complex emotions on their faces.
"......."
Celenike bit the nail of her thumb and looked at Command Spells on the back of her hand several times with frustration.
"It's not my fault... It's not my fault..."
Gordes completely lost his calm and spirit, the arrogance that he had before also disappeared. He slumped on the ground, lowered his head in depression, and muttered blankly clearly didn't want to believe the fact that was presented in front of him.
Raikou and Chiron also materialized behind Haru and Fiore at the same time, looking at the scene in front of them and fell into silence.
Haru entered his act, before looking at everyone, then looked at Darnic in worry.
"Ojii-sama.." Fiore stepped forward and said to Darnic with a heavy expression.
"We're back."
"...Are you back?" Darnic raised his eyes, but his face was still ugly, taking a deep breath, and said to Fiore, and Haru, "Have you two heard everything?"
"Yes." Fiore nodded heavily and said in a low voice, "It's really hard to believe..."
Haru only nodded, but he didn't say much since he knew how to read the mood after all.
After all, who wanted to believe a crazy thing happened on the Black Faction?
"Yes." Fiore nodded heavily and said in a low voice, "It's really hard to imagine this fact."
In just one night, two servants of the Black Faction had a problem.
One had decided to commit suicide and the other one decided to defect.
For the Black Faction, it wasn't only a shame, but it also related to their victory on the Holy Grail War since the matter of death or life of their clan was related to the result of the Holy Grail War, without doubt, the loss of two servants would affect the result of this war.
"We still don't know why Saber chose to commit suicide, but with the intelligence obtained by the Magecraft around the area... Siegfried chose to end his own life by himself, rather than be killed by Rider." Darnic frowned and said, "The only thing that we can be sure of right now is that Rider chose to betray us in order to save a homunculus."
This sentence made both Gordes and Celenike who had lost their servants react!
"That's right! It is all your fault!" Gordes pointed his finger at Celenike. His face was full of madness and shouted, "If it isn't because of your useless servant then how could my servant commit suicide?!"
Gordes had lost his servant after all, and his mind had been clouded by anger, the only thing that he wanted to do was someone to take responsibility for this matter!
In response, Celenike gave Gordes a cold gaze and a strong smell of blood began to emit from her body.
"You should look in the mirror, you Useless Fatty!" Celenike wasn't as irrational as Gordes as she tried to suppress the anger in her heart. "If it wasn't for the flawed homunculus that you had created, then my servant wouldn't do something as stupid as this. It is obviously your fault and now, you want to put all the blame on me?!"
"Who... Who knows why that kind of trash can suddenly cause such a problem?!" Gordes yelled with bloodshot eyes, holding his head, spinning crazily. "That homunculus is obviously a tool! Battery to provide Magic Power! A mere homunculus that I can throw anytime....! ARGGG!!!!!!" He plopped on the ground and couldn't handle it anymore.
Not only Gordes, but all the masters present could hardly understand why a homunculus who was originally used to provide a Magic Power to be capable to cause such a big problem.
"Homunculus, after all, is a living being. Just like a human, they also want to stay alive, and it might be because they don't understand such emotion that they don't care about their life or death and you can treat them as much as you wish before, but you underestimate them. Just like a human, one in thousands, ten thousand, or millions, there is probably going to be one with a very special ability or born as a special being, and this homunculus is one of them," Haru said calmly.
"..."
His words caused everyone to look at him in silence since the young man in front of them was also such a special existence.
"Everything has happened, and there is no turning back, we should think about the countermeasure of this problem." Haru looked at Celenike and asked, "Can you use Command Spell to summon Rider back?" He didn't care much about the condition of the Black Faction, but he was acting as a Darnic's admirer after all so he needed to show one or two concerns.
"I will use it if I can, but if I do so, I might lose control of the Rider," Celenike said and really wanted to grab Astolfo back then tortured him! But still, being asked, by Haru, her mood felt slightly better.
Using a Command Spell to summon Astolfo back was one way to catch Astolfo, but that wasn't a good choice since one of Astolfo's Noble Phantasms made him capable of shattering any Magecraft and with that Noble Phantasm, his Magic Resistance became extremely high which was enough to make him block of any Magecraft.
Of course, a Command Spell was included.
Celenike might be able to summon back Astolfo, but that process might make her use two Command Spells at the same time, and cause her to lose control of Astolfo at that time since she only had two Command Spells left on the back of her hand. and even if Astolfo was able to return back, there was a huge chance that he might defect to the Black Faction again.
Everyone in the hall understood this fact, and they were wondering whether there was any way to hold Astolfo or make him obey Celenike?
The best way was to kill Astolfo, but there was no way that they would do that since that meant that the power of the Black Faction would become worse with the loss of Astolfo.
"We have lost Saber and even Assassin has also lost control, which is equivalent to losing combat power of two servants at the same time." Darnic had a heavy face and said, "Under such circumstances, we can no longer lose Rider in this Holy Grail War."
Darnic had made a decision so no one said anything.
"The situation is very bad." Chiron also had a difficult expression on his face and said, "We have lost two servants at the same time which is going to hurt our combat power."
Saber is known as one of the strongest class types of servants on the Holy Grail, and without doubt, if Siegfried was still here, it was possible for him to stay until the end of the Holy Grail easily.
Assassin is also known as the most dangerous type of servant, and this type of servant was very good at sneak attack, if Jack the Ripper didn't defect the Black Faction, it was possible for the Black Faction to win the Holy Grail by assassinating all the masters on the Red Faction.
Both Saber and Assassin could be called trump cards by the Blacks Faction.
Losing those two servants hurt the Black Faction very much.
Therefore, in this situation, they didn't want to lose Astolfo and since they had decided not to kill Astolfo, they needed to think about how to use him.
If Celenike used two Command Spells to summon Astolfo back then when he had returned, he couldn't be controlled, then it would lead to a very big problem.
"I will find a Rider." Celenike looked at Darnic, gritting her teeth, and said, "Give me some time."
Hearing those words, Darnic closed his eyes and nodded helplessly.
Celenike showed a cruel smile, turned around, and left the hall directly, but stopped when she was right beside Haru. She wanted to say something, but Raikou glared and didn't hide her killing intent toward her. She snorted before walking away.
Haru only shook his head helplessly but didn't say anything. He was sure if Astolfo was caught without doubt Astolfo's end would be miserable on the hand of Celenike, but then again, he had a feeling that it would be difficult to catch Astolfo, considering Astolfo's luck.
Well, but, if Astolfo was caught, he was sure that Celenike would do a lot more things to Astolfo, but still he didn't have a hobby to save a male, even if Astolfo's appearance could be mistaken as a girl, but he couldn't be fooled since, under Astolfo's skirt, there was a canary.
