Chapter 843: Mother C and Sister R's First Encounter
"Ahhhhhh!"
Aratram, who had always lived a life of luxury, suddenly found himself in excruciating pain as his arm was severed at the root.
They couldn't quite grasp why the situation had taken such a drastic shift.
Those 'Dragon Fang Soldiers', weren't they created by the other Heroic Spirit? Then why would they suddenly turn on their own Master?
Could this also be part of the opponent's scheme? But severing one's own arm seemed like an overly high price to pay.
After cutting off Aratram's arm with the Command Spell engraved on it, the Dragon Fang Soldiers completed their task and were swiftly defeated by Saber's punches and kicks.

It was a fact that Caster had betrayed him, and with the Command Spell gone, it was unrealistic to expect her to save him.
T
Caster is the infamous Betrayal Sorceress Medea from Greek mythology. If you spare my life, I can tell you about her ability parameters, inherent skills, and Noble Phantasm."
To survive, Aratram could only try to prove his worth.
Moreover, if he could find a way to reattach his arm, he still had the ability to use the Command Spell to seek revenge on that damned woman, Medea!
"Rin, this guy is lying. I've already investigated, and it seems that this kidnapping incident was mostly orchestrated by him.
This guy is named Aratram Garistas, a hypocrite who excels at deceiving others with his kind demeanor.
I've released all the children and women he captured, but when I ventured deeper into their territory, Caster seemed to have already fled."
A
After all, his Servant was the notorious Medea, perfect for taking the fall.
But what Aratram didn't anticipate was that the Heroic Spirit Shirou, who had been responsible for scouting, immediately sentenced him to death upon his return.
It was only when the Heroic Spirit Shirou appeared that Aratram realized Medea hadn't deceived him; the other Master had indeed sent a Servant to infiltrate.
What Aratram didn't expect was that the red-haired boy before him, with his mediocre mana and seemingly kind demeanor, was also a Master!
M
Thus, Aratram had the honor of becoming the first Master to meet his end in this Holy Grail War.
Although Caster, without her Master, couldn't remain in the present world for long, her reputation in mythology, combined with her willingness to betray her own Master, was concerning.
If they didn't deal with her swiftly, Fuyuki City might witness many more innocent casualties.
Medea, fleeing from the scene, felt a sudden wave of weakness the moment Athram died.
Although she had gained her freedom, without the mana supplied by her Master, Caster's already limited mobility became even weaker.
Taking out the mana crystal that Athram had created by converting the vitality of a child, Medea absorbed the crystal. Only then did the feeling of weakness begin to subside slightly.
Previously, Medea had completely dismissed such low-quality mana crystals created by Athram's magic.
However, given the current situation, without a source of mana, she would not last long. If she did not quickly obtain a supply of mana, she would not be able to stay in this world for more than a month, let alone encounter other Heroic Spirits.
"I didn't expect that not only me, but the King of Knights has also been summoned again by the Holy Grail.
But from her appearance, it seems the memories of the Fourth Holy Grail War have been sealed by the Holy Grail's mechanism."
When Medea was cutting off Athram's arm with the Dragon Fang Soldiers, she saw Saber through the soldiers' perspective.
Medea had not anticipated that two Heroic Spirits from the previous Holy Grail War would be summoned again and that she would encounter them with such low probability.
Saber was an ally in the last Holy Grail War, but that was only because she was bound by Medea. A knight and a sorceress could never truly stand together, so after a brief hesitation, Medea decided against making contact with her.
After Athram's death, what Medea needed most urgently was to find a new Master. Otherwise, without a source of mana, she would not be able to continue her plans.
For this reason, the weakened Medea, trembling, followed her memory to the Kuzuki Mansion.
Indeed, the only person Medea could think of who could help her and whom she could trust was Sakura Kuzuki.
Regardless, the other party was still a disciple of Night City, and although their relationship ten years ago was not particularly good, it was not terrible either.
At the very least, while Medea wanted to kill everyone, she had never wanted to kill Night City's only disciple.
The moment the weakened Medea stepped into the Kuzuki Mansion, the hidden Rider, Medusa, immediately sensed the intruder and appeared behind Medea, placing a dagger with a chain around her neck.
"So, Sakura is participating in this Holy Grail War and has already summoned a Heroic Spirit, huh."
Feeling the hostility and Heroic Spirit aura from behind, Medea did not resist. Aside from her weak combat abilities, her current state of weakness meant that even a moderately skilled Master could defeat her.
"Stop, Rider, she is not our enemy."
Just as Medusa was about to strike and eliminate Medea, a young girl's voice suddenly called out from inside the house. Soon, Sakura Kuzuki ran out, her face filled with excitement and anticipation, and approached Medea. "Medea, did Night City Teacher send you to find me?"
With just one sentence from the girl, Medea realized that Sakura did not know Night City's whereabouts.
After a brief exchange, Sakura finally understood why Night City had been missing for ten years.
"So, after passing through that spatial rift, Night City Teacher might have gone to another time and space?" Sakura asked.
"He might also have been sealed along with the Greater Holy Grail in the magic barrier where the Holy Grail resides.
Regardless of which scenario, we must obtain the Holy Grail to see Night City again!"
