Fate/Magus Path

101 Battle

At the secret chamber in the El-Melloi family mansion.

The closed underground chamber was incredibly spacious, far larger than the Ryougi family's training grounds. This was the designated location where Kayneth tested his mystic codes and jewel magecraft.

Thus, the place was very safe and concealed.

Since it was a secret chamber, only a few people in the entire family even knew of its existence. Its excellent concealment and high safety level perfectly met Roy's criteria.

Roy stood silently at the center of the chamber, closing his eyes and allowing his consciousness to re-enter the dream world.

Once again, he found himself in the familiar sea of flowers and towering spires, along with a certain white-haired trickster napping nearby.

"You're back again, huh~"

Merlin, who had long since grown accustomed to Roy treating this place as his home, wasn't surprised at all.

Seeing Roy approach, Merlin simply greeted him before continuing with his own business.

Merlin knew that Roy wasn't here to see him this time but to meet another troublemaker. So, with tact, Merlin left the area.

Roy then turned to the elegant lady seated at a tea table, enjoying a cup of floral tea.

"We meet again, Lady Morgan."

Morgan was dressed exquisitely, no longer appearing in the hasty attire of the simulated Morgan. This time, she presented herself in her true form.

Her face bore a striking resemblance to Artoria's, about 90% similar. She had long, beautiful white hair and wore a noble gown in shades of blue and black, topped with a silver-black crown. As she saw Roy appear, she walked toward him with regal steps.

However, there was a playful smirk at the corner of her lips. She glanced casually at Roy with her pale blue eyes and then snapped coldly in anger.

"You little thief who dared to steal the power of Avalon, how dare you come here in person? Are you here to provoke me?"

To this, Roy shook his head.

"Lady Morgan, you were the one who made the first move back then. If I hadn't fought back, I wouldn't be alive right now."

"Hmph, I'm not interested in wasting words with you."

Clearly, Morgan had no intention of engaging in a lengthy conversation with her enemy. Her disdain for Roy was evident, her expression openly showing her disgust.

"Now that my sister has been revived, that village built for the ritual is no longer of any use. The experimental subjects there can do whatever they want."

But out of respect for Artoria, Morgan still explained the matter of the Gravekeeper's Village before decisively leaving.

And as a final act of simple revenge against Roy, Morgan deliberately shattered the dream world on her way out, forcibly severing Roy's connection and ejecting him from the realm.

...

"Ah? She really is a witch who does things her own way... I was hoping to ask her about bounded fields."

Roy, who had been expelled by Morgan, rubbed his slightly dizzy head.

He couldn't help but grumble inwardly about how petty Morgan was.

She was clearly the one who made the first move, and his counterattack had been purely in self-defense.

At the same time, he felt a bit regretful for not being able to get her guidance.
