Chapter 4: Singularity F: Capturing The Hound of Ulster

They continued to discuss of the current situation until a series of explosion can be heard not far from the place they were at. As the sound coming nearer, they could have heard some Irish and English profanities being yelled coming from the servants that was the chasers and the one being chased.

Maiya had the argue to face palmed. Her assassins and riders of uncles had found the Irish caster and now were using forces to draw him out. Clearly the hound of Ulster was putting up a bit of a fight in which causes Percival, Agravain, Key and Gareth to retort using such method. But why on earth did they not calling for the others to help?

"Maiya, deploy the traps. That hound will not stop until we could cornered him properly," Percival's voice rang through their bonds. The knights' master responded quickly, arranging traps that were invincible to their target, but not for his knights. Once the snares were set, they could saw the four knights working to cornered the caster into one of them. Well, only Maiya and Mash could really see their figures, while the other two only several blurs heading to another direction.

As soon as they managed to direct him into one of the gravity trap, Maiya quickly activated the gravitation seals. Once she did, she could hear some Irish curses that she wouldn't surprise could filled her dictionary of profanities. More members of the round table gathered around the trapped servant as they made their way towards them.

Maiya could hear her father, Arthur questioning the caster she known as Cu Chulainn in Irish language, fluently speaking in it like it was his natural language. Well, she shouldn't be surprise since her Arthur, as the king of Britain had to deal with political and international issue during his reign. Then again, their version of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table were very different from the one in this world...

After confirming that the Irish man wasn't a hostile or corrupted servant, the ruler class servant gestured his granddaughter to approached them. Once the young woman was on his side, Arthur said, "Take down the gravity runes and let him go, master. The caster won't be causing any harm with us around." His words were true since they were practically surrounded by knight classes and caster class servant who was capable to take down a single mage.

Heading her adopted father's word, Maiya wave her hands towards the runes that causes all of this. The symbols began to change in colours before fading away. The Camelot count mage, Merlin who was one of Maiya current caster class servants made his way to his fellow caster before holding out his hand towards the Irish man who, in return grab the hand and pulled himself upright.

Once he was balance, the Irish caster turned his gaze towards the female master who set the traps. She was mclearly older than the other three, yet was younger than him when he was alive. Powerful prana flows out of her like a beacon to any spirits nearby. Yet somehow, these servants around them... no, mostly the male servants are bonded to her was containing their master powerful prana from spreading around them. Then again, Arthur? Don't tell him that these were the legendary king and the knights of the round table? But he was much more different that the Arthur he had known of and was currently facing.

"Well lassie, your runes pack a punch. I never thought that someone could create a spell to manipulate gravity itself. Makes me think you're a servant if not for those command spells on your arms," Chulainn said as he point out the unique patterns that runs up her arms to her shoulders, where from her origin, they were known as 'Bond Marks'. They might look like tattoos, but he could feel the prana coming out of them even if it was barely there, and judging by how that silver hair knight and the male King Arthur protectiveness over her, means he was right.

"Marely a rune I come across when I was experimenting on them...before anything, I'm sorry for our action to get you out of the shadows. You were watching us for a while, weren't you? Ireland's Child of Light." Maiya said, whispering the last words, the man's tittle softly.

It was clear that only the servants could hear her since the said man was currently throwing her a suspicious gaze while her adopted fathers and uncles were standing protectively around them, ready to strike in case the caster made a wrong move. But it didn't come. Instead, the man fell into a laughing fit, causing the knights to throw a deadpanned expression while the three Chaldean looked at them in puzzlement.

When he finished laughing, the Irish caster throw her a grin, saying, "Few would recognize me because of my spear. But you and your servants seems to already figure out who I am, young lady." The respond was positive, causing Arthur and his knights to lower their guard slightly while their master through him a soft smile. "A mare guess. Though I've met you as a lancer before, so I'd easily recognize your identity despite from different class," Maiya replied.

This causes the caster to look at her curiously, before a blipping sound interrupt them. A cylindrical hologram appeared to reveal Romani contacting them from the headquarter. "Director, Fujimaru-kun, Mashu. Oh thank goodness we managed to gained connection. And it seems like Mizuo-san also with you," the doctor exclaimed as he saw the female Master with them. "Romani. What's the meaning of this? Why did you let an outsider master involve in this?" Olga yelled, which was wisely being ignored by those around them, leaving the doctor to fend for himself.
