Chapter 809: Medea: My Master is Surprisingly Powerful!
Chapter 809: Medea: My Master is Surprisingly Powerful!
Medea, despite her conviction in her actions, felt a twinge of unease and glanced towards the direction of Yecheng. She couldn't help but recall how her beloved, Jason, had grown weary of her ruthless methods, finding them distasteful.
As a "witch," Medea considered many of her actions insignificant, but to Saber and the other heroic spirits, her tactics were despicable and underhanded. When she first heard Saber's rebuke, she feared Yecheng might be angered, but then a voice, transmitted through the bond between Master and Servant, echoed in her mind, causing Medea to smirk beneath her black cloak.
Her instincts had been right; Yecheng was nothing like Jason. He accepted and understood her actions, embracing her for who she was. Hearing his voice in her mind, Medea's confidence soared, and her gaze towards Sakura, standing beside her, grew more profound.
Medea had not anticipated that Berserker's Master was Yecheng's disciple, making her a sort of stepmother to the child... well, at least that's what she thought. Regardless, this connection meant Berserker was on their side.
However, Yecheng wished to keep this relationship hidden from the other Masters, asking her to continue her role.
To be honest, when Medea was first summoned, she didn't think they had much of a chance. After all, Caster was the weakest class against those with Anti-Magic abilities.
If she had been summoned earlier, Medea could have utilized her class skill, Fortification Construction, to her advantage, but unfortunately, she was the last Heroic Spirit summoned, leaving her with insufficient time.
Additionally, Yecheng had used up all three Command Spells in a seemingly reckless manner.
While Medea was touched by Yecheng's actions, the loss of three Command Spells made their already slim chances even slimmer.
Medea, renowned in mythological history, felt that Yecheng understood her well, but she knew little about him as a Master.
Yecheng's unconventional methods set him apart from anyone Medea had ever known. She was surprised to see him, a Master who should be supporting from the rear, assuming the role of a Servant and engaging in combat with other Heroic Spirits.
Medea, who had once fought for her love, now experienced being protected by another for the first time.
Unable to interfere, Medea could only respect Yecheng's decision, but she secretly kept a watchful eye on him during his battles.
Regardless of the reason, if Yecheng ever found himself in peril, Medea would not stand idly by.
As a Caster, her direct combat skills were lacking, but she had her Noble Phantasm!
The Golden Fleece (Argon Coin), an EX-Rank Noble Phantasm, was undoubtedly one of the most powerful among all treasures.
The golden fleece, sought by Jason and the Argonauts, was of immense value, and Medea's lineage made her its rightful owner.
The Golden Fleece, a legendary treasure, is said to summon a dragon when thrown to the ground, but Medea, lacking the ability to summon mythical beasts, could not bring forth the dragon. However, she could use the Golden Fleece's healing and defensive powers. The fleece's wool could withstand most attacks, and its healing abilities were incredibly potent, capable of mending not only physical injuries but also healing mental damage that transcended the flesh.
This very treasure, the Golden Fleece, was also the root cause of Medea's tragic fate in her previous life. The hero Jason sought the Golden Fleece, and as its rightful owner, Medea was cursed by the goddess Aphrodite to fall in love with Jason.
Medea, hiding in the shadows, was ready to use the Golden Fleece to save Yecheng and then make her escape with him. However, Yecheng's actions surprised her greatly. She never expected that Yecheng, a modern Mage Master, could be so formidable.
First, there was the formidable Archer, the ancient King, followed by the Lancer and Saber, all of whom Medea had never heard of possessing such extraordinary strength. These Heroic Spirits, in a sense, were also strengthened by the Holy Grail to some extent. To them, Mages were merely slightly stronger ants.
Medea was truly astonished when she saw the fake Caster, Yecheng's disguise, overpowering other Heroic Spirits. She came to understand why Yecheng had shown such indifference towards her loyalty after summoning her.
It was no joke; Yecheng, as a Master, possessed the strength to suppress Heroic Spirits. Whether he had a Servant or not was not a significant concern for him.
Moreover, he had a hidden trump card, the Berserker, and their chances of winning in this Holy Grail War were slim. They were like the top-seeded team in this competition!
Medea was delighted that Yecheng did not get angry at her for holding him hostage. When she saw Saber's petite figure and adorable face, Medea's mind was filled with various ideas.
Medea, possessing the Noble Phantasm "Thousand Spell Breaking Dagger," could sever the connection between a Master and their Servant. And now, Saber's Master was in her hands.
If she used her Noble Phantasm to cut off Saber's connection with her Master and transferred the Command Spells to herself, she would gain an additional Saber-class Servant... Ahem, the strongest class.
"Bang!"
Just as Medea was fantasizing about how she would pose Saber if she obtained her, a gunshot rang out in the distance! Shirou Emiya, lying in wait in the upper levels of the amusement park, had locked onto Medea's head through the scope of his sniper rifle and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Modern firearms, even when used in a surprise attack, could not significantly affect supersized beings like Heroic Spirits. However, the situation was entirely different for ordinary human Mages.
The previous Caster Master had been in hiding, so Shirou had no chance to strike. But now that the opponent had revealed themselves and believed there were no other Masters nearby, Shirou would not let this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity slip away!
