"Ryuunosuke."
"Master?"
"Tilt the knife a little to the left, use moderate force, and don't be in a hurry. We have plenty of time for artistic creation in this war."
Caster looked at the child pinned to the stone pillar and gave instructions to his Master and bosom friend in a gentle and kind manner. In his view, his Master had excellent potential and was fundamentally different from those driven by greed; his heart was very simple and straightforward.
The child's screams continued until nightfall. Finally, under Caster's magecraft, the child pinned to the stone pillar watched while fully conscious as Uryuu Ryuunosuke sliced the flesh off his body bit by bit.
"Master, is he still alive?"
"Correct."
"But he seems dead."
"Correct."
Caster stood up, walked to Uryuu Ryuunosuke's side, and reached out to grab the boy's head. With a slight application of force, blood sprayed all over Caster's face. This act, which would be incredibly terrifying to an ordinary person, only caused confusion for Uryuu Ryuunosuke.
"Master?"
"He's already broken." Caster looked at Uryuu Ryuunosuke with a smile. "But fortunately, there are many materials, so there's no need to be frugal. Completing the work while maintaining the screams is what you should consider."
"Cool~!"
Caster narrowed his eyes and imitated Uryuu Ryuunosuke's tone, saying, "Cool."
Just as the two were immersed in this twisted "creation," a chilling wind swept through.
Caster became alert. "It seems we have an uninvited guest."
Uryuu Ryuunosuke laughed nonchalantly, "Is there a guest?"
A figure slowly stepped out from the shadows.
"A hideous hobby. Gilles de Rais, is this really the sight Jeanne would want to see?"
Hearing his own name and Jeanne's name, Caster laughed loudly: "Hahaha, I am the one chosen by the Holy Grail, because my wish has already been fulfilled! The Saint in my heart has been resurrected!"
As he spoke, countless Sea Demons crawled out of the blood around Caster, their twisted bodies rushing toward Akatsuki.
"Master?" Uryuu Ryuunosuke looked at Caster in confusion. "Is it an enemy?"
"Just a mere spirit, Ryuunosuke, you continue your creation..."
Before he could finish his sentence, the Sea Demons attempting to approach Akatsuki were instantly crushed into meat paste by an invisible force.
Caster narrowed his eyes, a trace of wariness rising in his heart. "——————."
As he chanted an incomprehensible incantation, countless Sea Demons crawled out of the blood, rushing toward Akatsuki like a plague of locusts.
"Caster, your time is up."
The icy atmosphere instantly made Uryuu Ryuunosuke shiver. At that moment, snowflakes actually began to fall one by one inside the underground sewer.
Akatsuki remained standing still, but both Caster and Uryuu Ryuunosuke felt a coldness that seeped into their very bones.
Akatsuki raised a hand, and an invisible force directly shattered the Sea Demons that had been frozen into ice blocks. Seeing this, Caster accelerated his chanting, and even more Sea Demons crawled out of the blood only to be frozen and shattered.
Uryuu Ryuunosuke stood behind Caster, his eyes filled with both excitement and fear.
"tibi magnum innominandum, signa stellarum nigrarum, et bufaniformis sadoquae sigillum."
With Caster's chant, the surrounding space instantly became somewhat blurred. However, to Akatsuki, his chanting seemed like the final struggle before death, far too weak.
There seemed to be something in the air, but an ordinary person could only see a blurred outline.
That invisible creature from the stars would perhaps only reveal its true form after drinking its fill of blood, as recorded in books.
It was entirely red, seemingly dripping with blood. Countless tentacles pulsed on its deep red body, looking like a wriggling, throbbing mass of jelly.
At the tips of the tentacles were mouthparts like octopus suckers, which were hungrily opening and closing... the monster was bloated and disgusting.
That large mass had no head, no face, and no eyes; it only possessed an insatiable mouth and claws befitting an interstellar monster. After drinking the blood of the "works" created by Caster and Uryuu Ryuunosuke on the ground—human blood—it finally manifested.
"Subarashii! Totemo subarashii!"
Upon seeing the monster's full appearance, Caster waved the human-skin book in his hand excitedly. "I didn't expect to actually be able to summon a Star Spirit! Ahhh! How sacrilegious! But even so, God has not condemned me!"
"Master?!!"
The scream of Uryuu Ryuunosuke behind him made Caster calm down slightly, but he did not step in to stop the Star Spirit. Instead, he quietly watched as Uryuu Ryuunosuke's blood was rapidly sucked dry.
"Is this your trump card?"
Akatsuki smiled. Since a moment ago, the two major branches of the counter force of this era had been frantically reminding Akatsuki to stop Caster's actions. Although they didn't know where Akatsuki, this earth uo, came from, when facing an existence from the depths of the cosmic abyss, the earth's counter force was fully capable of excluding it.
However, Caster had summoned this "alien" directly inside the Earth, making it difficult for the counter force to respond for a time. They could only place their hopes on Akatsuki, the earth uo.
"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder Artoria doesn't like octopuses; it looks too terrible."
The ice ignored everything, directly freezing the Star Spirit's twisted body. At this moment, no matter what abilities or authorities it possessed, it had no way to use them.
In the next instant, under Caster's astonished gaze, the Star Spirit's body gradually cracked and dissipated into the world as dust.
"Time to exit."
Caster, retired!
Inside the Fuyuki City Police Station, the chief, who was currently frowning over the recent series of child disappearances in Fuyuki City, was suddenly hit in the head by a stone in his office.
Just as he was about to roar in anger, he suddenly discovered that the stone was wrapped in a piece of paper.
Tonight, some people in Fuyuki City were destined to lose sleep.
When Akatsuki returned to her residence, she saw a middle-aged man standing not far away, seemingly waiting for something. When Akatsuki opened the door, he walked over slowly.
Tohsaka Tokiomi!
Akatsuki's future father-in-law!
