By the time Momon reached the battlefield the battle was already over. Animusphere who was embarrassed and red to the very tips of the ears and tried not to look at Momonga also came with him, just in time to see how Caster's last spell finished Saber. So at the moment when Momonga stepped forward looking at the people in front of him, his surprise knew no bounds. But not at the level of self-destruction. This was expected and did not surprise him at all, but the crystal which unexpectedly shone in the crumbling smoke remains left over from Saber did.

"What's this?!" Momon was shocked in a split second before his strong emotions were extinguished by his emotion suppression. He whispered to himself almost unbelievingly "A data-crystal?"

What Momonga saw in front of him really turned out to be a data crystal. The sparkling silver uneven crystal looked exactly the same as the one in his game of Yggdrasil. Moreover, judging by the size and brilliance it was a good mid-level data crystal.

"This is, she dropped loot after her death?!" Momonga quickly headed for the flashing stone, then picked it up. And indeed in his hand was a real data crystal.

"So, this means, the rest of the monsters..." - From that thought Satoru's pupils widened. All other monsters probably dropped data crystals when they died as well. And he... He violated the first main rule for any player in a DMMORPG.

He did not collect the loot!

With horror at the realization of this, he squeezed his hand. No, maybe if he hurries back, then he still has time to collect the drops...

"Hey, Master." Caster drew his attention to him. "Something is dragging me back, so sorry and bye. If you call me next time call me as a Lancer!"

Immediately after these words Momonga felt his connection with Caster become thinner. And although he could resist it he chose to simply allow it, allowing Caster to crumble into black smoke, like the many defeated monsters and Servants before.

"Monsters and Servants from whom I did not collect their drops..." Momonga clenched his teeth and closed his eyes. What carelessness, he should have checked out this possibility from the very beginning!

"S-senpai..." Mashu who appeared next to him with her ragged breath reminded him that besides the missed loot there was something else in the world. "Senpai, we won..."

"Mashu." Despite the fact that at this moment Momonga strongly wanted to make a command like 'get ready and run back to inspect all the destroyed monsters for data crystals!' he still restrained himself and merely smiled and nodded to the girl. "Thank you Mashu. It's all thanks to you."

"Huh?" instantly the girl was confused bt these words, but she immediately looked away. "N-no, this is all thanks to Caster..."

"Really?" Momonga looked at the girl with surprise, after which he tried to remember. "But, as I remember Caster said that he would not have stood a chance without your intervention, or something like that..."

"S-senpai!" However Mashu as if she was not exhausted just a moment ago, instantly covered herself with her shield to hide from the eyes of Momonga. "Do not say such embarrassing things please!"

However Momonga reply was interrupted by yet another new voice.

"Just imagine it!" The voice seemed to Momonga to be vaguely familiar. "It is surprising that only you were able to get this far! This is beyond my predictions. No, I must say that this is beyond even my wildest dreams."

"I didn't like your fashion taste right away." Momonga instantly replied withthis. But instead of answering to the Servant the only person in Momonga's memory who wore a fur coat at work only looked at the man condescendingly. Even scornfully, it can be said, before choosing to ignore the seemingly lowest - although Supreme, unknown by everyone - life form.
