7 Roadless Camelot

Zouken Matou was living on edge for the past few days, it started just before the Grail wars have started.

As someone who has a connection with nature, he immediately felt something weird through his bugs.

Influx of prana of which he never felt before spread out through the whole City of Fuyuki.

It didn't take a genius to realise what this was, still the old bug man doubts any of his family members would pick that up even if they had talent for magecraft…

Nonetheless, he realises that it was Caster, the old man has experienced all the Grail wars before and he can safely say that this was the strongest Caster he has ever seen.

He had little hope for Kariya and now he has none, especially after seeing how Caster took care of Tohsaka's servant, what a laugh it was.

As the old bug man lost his hope for this war and started to think about preparing for the next one.

He felt his house boundary field has been breached.

~~~

Here we are, Matou residence, it looked just like from Fate...Hmm, did they showed this house in Unlimited Blade Works?

Well, it doesn't matter, they did show it in Heavens Feel, a lot…

I inspected my new clothes for a second, they felt amazing, Morgan's craftsmanship and fashion sense is quite something else…

Combining Magus robes with a modern hoodie is a very appreciated addition.

Not only that but, she added her colours too, probably the side effect of her obsession with me.

"From that frown, I can guess you felt what is happening inside," I said to her while looking forward.

I do love the new senses I have, picking up a frown from her without even looking is an awesome skill to have.

"Gross, disgusting!" Morgan had the look of utter loathing on her face.

It's the first time I have ever seen such...extreme reaction from her.

Getting such a reaction from her is an achievement on its own, and I am sure Zouken is in the front seat of receiving such 'Reward'.

"I have seen many things in my long reign. But, this… this is…" a chilly smile crept on her face.

"This is a new a low… Husband… I want to use my main Noble Phantasm on this place." She said that very seriously.

My eyes went wide for a second.

Lordless Camelot is a combination of multiple Rhongomyniad's and Territory Control of a Fae…

If there was a rank above EX… Then this Noble Phantasm would be EX+++ or even above…

Just imagining putting those world anchors on one's body and then making them go boom…

Thankfully it happens inside her territory or otherwise, we would be experiencing the Age Of Gods again…

"You...sure?" I turned around and looked at her.

"Most...definitely…" She said with a slow nod.

Yes…

Matou Zouken will truly get a front-row seat…

"Very well, remember the little pink-haired girl is our goal, once she is secured do whatever you want." I seriously said to her, I do not care about other Matous.

"Of course…remember to who you are talking to Husband."

~~~

Ren and Caster looked at the doors in front of them.

There was a small smile on his face, as he lifted his hand and an orb of water manifested without any indication of magecraft usage, one could say it's a miracle…

Next second the water was imbued with prana as it accelerated like a cannonball into the doors.

It smashed into pieces as Ren alongside Caster started to stroll towards the interior of the house.

Seconds later, lots, lots of buzzing noise spread through the house.

The pale blond witch did a clawed hand motion and lots… lots of greenish-blue energy rushed into the house interior destroying everything in its path.

Multiple walls exploded, shattered and just disintegrated with a single motion from the Fairy Queen.

'I saw this move in Fate Grand Order… but, this is just sheer madness…' Ren though with slighly opened mouth, thankfully, no one saw it.

"What is the meaning of this?" The old bug man voice spread through the destroyed hall.

"Your ugliness offends me, bug man…" Morgan said while creating a ball of red energy with her free hand.

Next moment the ball simply disappeared from her hand and the next moment every single bug in the room self-imploded and then exploded and disintegrated…

*Painful Scream*

"So, you are connected to them in THAT way… Fufufu…" The pale blond witch said with a giggle.

A giggle, which made Matou Zouken panic and start rushing back into his catacombs.

"You can run little bug man… But, you can't escape from me…" Morgan said while she was 'looking' where the man disappeared too.

Ren that moment realised that she can 'see' through walls.

"He has retreat where he keep the 'hive' of these disgusting creatures." Caster said to Ren who nodded at her words.

"I am impressed husband that you did not even react when I erupted those bugs organs." She said that with a small amount of happiness.

"Oh, I did, I was disgusted by the creatures," Ren answered with a shrug.

"That is fine, I am saying about the act on its own." She clarified to him.

*Snort*

"Please, my speciality lies in Homunculi art, I know the human's body in-depth as much as any healer or doctor, besides I expected body explosions and blood control from you Caster." He shook his head for a bit, did she though that Ren didn't knew her speciality?

"Blood control is my daughter's speciality." That moment she said that her eyes slightly widened, it looked like she for some reason panicked.

"I mean my adopted daughter's speciality." She clarified with a little bit of panic.

This made Ren slightly raise his eyebrow at her panic at this time and place, he already knew that she adopted the vampire fairy…

What with out of character response from her…

"Baobhan Sith, I know. Your Fairy Knight Tristan." Ren offhandedly mentioned that to her before motioning to move.

"Can you sense the girl?" He said while looking around.

"Yes, she is upstairs." She said that with a neutral voice, her panic long gone.

"Good let's secure her first then you can deal with the bug man," Ren said that as he started to walk towards the stairs.

Morgan slowly nodded, her Master can feel Caster's confidence took a sharp dive down.

'Is she that bad with children?' He shook his head internally.

They went up to the first floor of this two-storey western-style house.

Eventually arriving at a specific door, Ren looked at his Servant who nodded at him, telling him that the girl is here.

He then opened the door and saw a purple-haired girl hiding in the corner.

Ren was about to say something but Morgan just waved her hand and the girl fell asleep the very next second.

"Really?" He said with a questioning look, he did want at least to say something to one of Fate Stay Night main characters!

The Magus has already accumulated some power that he could act casually in certain situations! He was in one of his favourite franchises and yet he can't do stuff!?

"We don't have time to play babysitter!" She sharply said, with a hand wave the girl floated into Ren's hands.

Sakura looked like a chibi version of herself, he needed to remind himself of what this girl is capable of in Fate's Heavens Feel route.

So, he quickly did a scan of her body, while regular thaumaturgy is out of his capacity for the sole reason that he simply cannot do cheap stuff because of his First True Magic.

His control over Ether crumbs allows him to scan everything if he wants to…

And so, he quite easily fixed her worm ravaged body, even her original hair colour returned.

"You could just told me that you are bad with kids," Ren said with a sigh.

This time Morgan stiffed like really stiffed.

She probably did not expect him to see through that, while she always has that cold poker face, he started to see through it.

"It's fine, it's impossible to be good at everything." 

The pale blood witch softly sighed, didn't say anything instead she just turned around.

"Let's go, I am already tired of this place." She started to walk before finishing saying that.

Instead of following Zouken into the catacombs, Morgan went outside, then faced the house.

"Stand behind me Husband." The Fairy Queen said seriously, as she looked at the house with even more disgust.

Not only this house is housing some filth which she in a normal situation would nuke half across the world, this place even exposed one of the things which she never wanted her husband to see any time soon.

While Morgan was internally seething, Ren followed what she said and stood behind her.

The moment Ren was behind her she closed her eyes and the surroundings changed into something similar to the Throne room.

Ren looked around with slight awe, this reminded him of Emiya's reality marble, it was not quite like it.

It was close to a one but, it's not it.

He then saw several Rhongomyniad's descent forming something similar to a road.

Before converging into a single spot.

"Lordless...Camelot."

The very next moment blinding light consumed everything, it was so bright that Ren need to look away and even use his hand to cover his face.

Once the light disappeared he was able to look back at Matou Residence…

Or what was Matou residence…

Now it was just a deep hole…

"Theoretically I could breach reverse side of the world Husband…" Morgan clarified to him with a somewhat smug voice which she tried to hide under a poker face.

As they looked at the hole, it was not an explosion in a literal sense… more like a complete erasion in tower/spear shape…

"The radius of Lordless Camelot depends on me, that's why I said theoretically, I never tested it in the outside world." She clarified to him.

"Impressive to say the least," Ren said while trying to see the bottom.

"Of course, it's my most powerful Noble Phantasm."

"Yes, while it's destructive, now we need to patch this hole." He pointed out.

*Snort*

"That's the work for peasants." She said with a huff. But, then she saw that he was quite serious.

"You serious are you?" She said with wide eyes.

"But, it's at least 2 miles deep!" The witch nearly shouted at him.

"Yes quite deep. Still, I want you to set up a boundary field with a timer and a specific set of imagines it can display." He acknowledged the fact that Morgan has overkilled, something he does as well.

Caster slightly blinked at this order which came out of nowhere.

"Fine, tell me what you want and I will do it." She sighed while giving up, and here the witch thought that she started to see through her husband, it appears he still has some weird tendencies.

'Humans and their weirdness…'

"Sure, then listen up…"

~~~

"Husband, I noticed that you don't use any thaumaturgy, is that the side effect of True Magics?" Morgan asked him as they were walking through the empty streets of Fuyuki.

Ren was carrying Sakura in princess carry, they were walking to Kariya's location.

That moment in other side of Fuyuki a skyscraper exploded and collapsed to the ground in a very controlled fashion.

'Emiya…' 

"Yes, regular magecraft is in the literal sense beneath me… mind you I am not trying to sound arrogant, but simply I am incapable to produce it because my magic became tuned towards 'miracles' instead of 'Prana' usage.

"Instead of converting Prana into magecraft, I can only do basic among basics with it." He explained to her.

"Hmm, that why you order your Homunculi to do those things." She said with an understanding look, she did remember seeing him ordering them to do certain mage crafts at home.

"Correct, before my magecraft completely disappeared I did build several Homunculi just for that." He continued to explain.

"Oh? You could use it before?" She looked intrigued for a second.

"Yes, I used my First Magic to Improve my circuits, which made me more powerful over ether but completely incapable of regular Magecraft." He explained with shrug, he doesn't regret that at all, after all, he has over 300+ circuits now more powerful than any human should have.

"I see, we talk about this later, we have arrived." She said that as her voice slowly turned indifferent voice again as they arrived at the alley where Kariya Matou is.
