Up to this point in the Holy Grail War, not even a single Servant had been eliminated yet. What was the point of summoning the Greater Grail this early?
Kama quickly answered the question in everyone's minds.
The desire crystals quietly fell into the Greater Grail. They bloomed into blood-colored lotus flowers around the rim of the cup, and every petal reflected scenes of couples throughout the city being intimate.
That included the scene from not long ago where Tohsaka Rin kissed Alvin… and the scene in the temple where Matou Sakura kissed him.
The petals vanished quickly, but everyone felt like they had been struck by thunder.
Illya stared blankly at Alvin as though the filter over her view of him had shattered.
Sajyou Manaka still wore a smile, though her eyes had turned colder.
Reines looked at Alvin with a teasing grin.
As for Tohsaka Rin, who was directly involved, her feelings were complicated.
Even though she knew this wasn't the time to dwell on emotions, after seeing those scenes, it was hard for her to stay calm.
She and her younger sister had actually kissed the same man within such a short time?
"Why do all of you look so surprised? If you hadn't shown up, I would've already been exchanging mana with Senpai just now."
After saying that, Kama smiled as she looked at Alvin's handsome face, her eyes seemingly full of affection, "Isn't that right, Senpai?"
'You really only know how to stir things up at times like this. Once I deal with you, I'll make sure you learn what corporal punishment means,' Storms raged inside Alvin's mind, but his face remained calm.
"Don't let her divide us. Deal with her first."
Even though they knew he was intentionally changing the subject, after seeing the desire crystals pouring into the Greater Grail, none of them had the mood to question Alvin further.
Scathach hurled her red spear toward Kama. The spearhead tore through the air with a sharp howl, yet a rainbow-colored light quietly appeared in front of Kama and blocked the attack.
Clearly, she had prepared for this long ago, "You all actually arrived at the perfect time."
Kama slowly floated into the air as the glow of a Command Seal quietly appeared.
"Because now you can witness the complete form of the Beast of Desire."
As her voice fell, she raised her right hand, "Rider, by Command Seal I order you—"
At the same time, Rider's figure quietly appeared before the Greater Grail.
Merlin froze for a moment as if he realized something, and his expression changed slightly, "No… she wants to destroy the Greater Grail!"
"Tear the Greater Grail apart completely, Rider!"
The Greater Grail floated in midair. Under Rider's Noble Phantasm and strengthened by Kama's power, countless cracks quickly spread across its surface.
Crack!
More and more fractures appeared until, with a loud boom, the Greater Grail shattered completely.
Deep and dense black mud continuously poured out from the Greater Grail. Like crude oil, it filled the entire temple almost instantly.
The desire crystals above the dome had fully bloomed. At this moment, Kama stood with her eyes closed, greedily absorbing the dense magical energy.
"Alvin, get out of this place first!"
Merlin shouted from the distance while raising his staff. Pink light isolated Illya from the surging black mud outside.
Scathach had already picked Reines up and was about to leave through the temple gates.
Yet at some point, the gates had already been completely sealed by black mud.
Scathach frowned slightly, "No… this is the other side's Reality Marble. We can't get out."
Alvin was also troubled.
If he could use the Holy Sword, he might still have a chance to destroy this Reality Marble, but his current class was Assassin, not Saber.
"Looks like you still need my help at a critical moment."
At that moment, he suddenly heard a cold and pleasant voice beside his ear.
The instant she heard that voice, Tohsaka Rin suddenly raised her head and looked forward.
A 'crack' had somehow appeared in the temple gates, which had previously been completely sealed shut. White light seeped in through the opening.
And along with that white light, a woman stepped through.
She wore a gorgeous formal dress and had long silver hair flowing loose. At first glance, she gave off a fairly obedient feeling.
But after looking more closely, there was also a trace of arrogance in her eyes.
"Sensei?"
Tohsaka Rin almost blurted it out.
'Morgan le Fay? I didn't expect her to come too,' Reines' eyes shifted slightly, but she soon noticed something strange.
'Wait… why does this girl look exactly like Gray?'
Although Morgan's clothes and appearance were different from before, that face was identical to Gray's.
Reines had often dealt with Gray at the Clock Tower in the past, so she immediately noticed the problem.
"I am temporarily possessing this girl's body and manifested as the Ruler of this Holy Grail War."
Morgan still looked noble and distant as she continued, "Before Gray handed her body over to me, she specifically told me to take care of you and Alvin."
At the end, her gaze quietly swept over Alvin, and her expression seemed to soften slightly.
'Big Sis Morgan can actually become a Ruler… Last time it was Ishtar, this time it's Big Sis Morgan. How exactly does the Greater Grail decide the Ruler class?'
Even though the situation wasn't suitable for it, Alvin still couldn't stop himself from complaining inwardly.
He quickly collected his thoughts and said, "Leave this place first!"
"Leave?"
But right then, a captivating voice suddenly came from behind him.
"You're only thinking about running now? Isn't that a little too late?"
As the voice fell, a pink pillar of light shot into the sky with Kama at its center. It pierced through heaven and earth as though it had broken through the Reality Marble itself and reached the heavens.
Kama floated in midair. Her crystal dress, brilliant like a starry night, spread around her like clouds. Her silver hair moved with the wind, and her snow-white bare feet made her look like an angel descending from heaven's gate.
But when she opened her eyes, those enchanting red pupils seemed dyed by dense magical power with a layer of pale light. Her silver-bell laughter echoed through the temple, and every smile and glance carried a charm that stirred the mind.
After ten years of planning, mixing black mud with the Sea of Chaos, and feeding on the emotions of couples throughout Fuyuki, she had finally completed her evolution.
In mythology, she was called the God of Love, but at this moment, she was a Beast of Desire that had been transformed by black mud and the Sea of Chaos.
The moment Alvin saw Kama, his gaze lost focus slightly.
His mind blanked for a second, and caution appeared in his eyes.
He already knew the God of Love possessed charm abilities, but he hadn't expected her allure to rise to another level after completing her final evolution.
"You plan on leaving me too, Senpai?"
Kama turned her gaze toward him. Her charming eyes made people's minds blur without realizing it.
Morgan stretched out a pale hand and grabbed Alvin's hand. A cold chill came from her palm, and the slight sting snapped Alvin back to his senses.
His body stiffened instantly as he thanked her sincerely, "Thanks…"
Morgan snorted proudly, "If I wasn't thinking about the bigger picture, I'd already leave you behind here."
'Big Sis Morgan is still as tsundere as ever… But I still prefer it when she acts spoiled and shy. There are probably too many people here, so she feels embarrassed?', Alvin complained inwardly before saying, "Anyway, get the Masters out of here first."
Fighting Kama here might drag everyone else into it.
After evolving once more, Kama was already completely different from before.
Alvin could feel the terrifying magical power coming from her body. That power had already far surpassed the level of Servants participating in this Holy Grail War.
"This temple has already been completely sealed by black mud. I need to open another exit," Morgan said.
"How long?", Alvin kept it short.
"One minute."
'One minute… With several Servants here, stopping Kama for that long shouldn't be difficult.'
"Everyone, let's buy her time together!"
Alvin shouted toward the Servants behind him.
Merlin tossed aside his staff and slowly drew a sword with a helpless look, "Although using a clone to stop a Beast is a little difficult, one minute shouldn't be a problem."
Illya looked stunned, "Aren't you a Caster?"
Merlin smiled, "Even though I'm a Caster, my swordsmanship is actually much better than my magecraft."
"You really don't seem like a proper Caster…"
Illya couldn't help muttering.
"Does Assassin look like an Assassin to you?"
Merlin looked at Alvin, who had already rushed forward, and laughed.
"As long as the enemy dies, that also counts as a form of stealth… Nii-chan actually fits Assassin pretty well," Illya said seriously.
Merlin: "Whose Master are you exactly, Miss Illya—"
"Stop chatting and come help already!"
Before he could finish speaking, Alvin's voice suddenly rang out from the distance.
"Coming! Coming! I don't think we've ever fought side by side before. Let's work together this time, Alvin!"
Merlin carried his sword and followed after Alvin.
BOOM!
Alvin rushed forward like a violent wind. The White Dragon's magical power surged like waves as his golden fist expanded rapidly and smashed forward with unmatched force, causing the entire temple to shake.
Kama's expression did not change at all. She stepped gracefully toward Alvin, every movement seeming to tread through Imaginary Number Space, her feet never touching the ground.
The moment Alvin's punch swung toward Kama, endless black mud surged beneath her feet. It was no longer in the earlier 'oil' state, but something denser and more terrifying, carrying a sinister power that seemed capable of swallowing everything.
Heroic Spirit bodies formed from shadows quietly descended in response to Kama's summons.
Thump! Thump!
Alvin's heartbeat suddenly sped up.
The 'Sea of Chaos' hidden within the White Dragon furnace core was resonating with Kama.
But that still wasn't the end. When Alvin looked up into the air, Heroic Spirit bodies formed from black mud had already gathered behind Kama.
Whoosh!
A golden Noble Phantasm shot toward Alvin and forced him back.
Alvin stopped and looked up.
"This is…"
Very quickly, surprise appeared on his face.
'Gilgamesh?'
Not just Gilgamesh. There was also Iskandar the King of Conquerors, Assassin Hassan, and even Britain's former old king, the White Dragon Vortigern. These were all Servants devoured by the black mud during the Fourth Holy Grail War, yet Kama had summoned them all now.
However, these were not true Servants, but copies created from black mud.
As though she had guessed what Alvin was thinking, Kama let out a soft laugh, "Thanks to our Miss Manaka, there was no winner in the Holy Grail War ten years ago, and the souls of the defeated Servants remained stored inside the Greater Grail the entire time."
