Chapter 694: Chapter 693: Let me show you what a real Mage is!
At this moment, within the forest not far from the Castle of the World Tree, it was already pitch black.
"Everyone has already started to move, big brother."
Standing on a tree branch, Little Hei glanced over into the distance and then whispered.
"What should we do next? Should I go search around for a bit?"
"No need for such trouble."
Facing Little Hei’s suggestion, Fang Zheng waved his hand.
"I am a mage after all. Leave it to me to handle. This will be a good chance for you to see what a real mage’s battle looks like."
"Eh?"
Upon hearing this, Little Hei showed a surprised expression.
"Are you a mage, big brother?"
"...What kind of reaction is that? Can’t I be a mage?"
Facing Little Hei’s question, Fang Zheng rolled his eyes with annoyance. Ever since he burned away the Magic Power of that Elf World, Fang Zheng’s spellcasting ability had also recovered. However, since coming to this world, he had not yet used his spellcasting abilities...
"Because big brother, you don’t look like a mage at all..."
"Then I’ll just have to show you my side as a mage."
Fang Zheng decided it was time to clear his name. After all, he was officially recognized as a mage. Now even the little one by his side didn’t think he was a mage... How could this be?
Moreover... Fang Zheng was also planning to see, in this world, whether his magic or those Servants were more formidable. Although he currently could not pinpoint everyone’s location, this was not a difficult task for Fang Zheng. The Servants may possess considerable strength, but fundamentally, they were still Spiritual Bodies, and by the standards of the Main World... these Servants were merely Undead Creatures with great power.
Since that was the case...
"Undead Detection."
Fang Zheng raised his right hand, and quickly, a Magic Aura flashed before his eyes. The next moment, Fang Zheng’s vision was filled with several dazzling moving points of light.
Although he couldn’t label information on the points of light like the system could, Fang Zheng could still discern who they were based on their composition and the patterns of their movement.
There were a total of five points of light starting from the castle’s direction, divided into two groups. The one comprised of two people was most likely Black SABER and Black BERSERKER. The remaining three were probably Black LANCER, Black CASTER, and Black RIDER.
Meanwhile, deep in the forest, the Undead light point charging ahead in a straight line like an idiot must be the Red Faction’s BERSERKER, and behind it...
"There really is someone following, huh."
Looking at the two points of light following behind Red BERSERKER, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes and let out a soft hum. Indeed, just as he had thought, even if the Red BERSERKER truly had gone berserk, that didn’t mean the enemy would just let him go so easily. It appeared that whether they were using Red BERSERKER as bait or something else, they still had backup plans.
Although Fang Zheng didn’t yet know who those two points of light were, this wouldn’t stump him.
After all, starting a game by scouting the map with an Observer is a standard tactic.
With this thought, Fang Zheng waved his hand and quickly took out three Star Spirit Observers from his inventory. Then, the three observers swiftly turned invisible and vanished into the night sky.
After that, Fang Zheng reached out and activated the terminal on his wrist. It didn’t take long before several images appeared before him. Seeing this, Little Hei, who was beside Fang Zheng, pursed her lips and started to grumble.
"...Big brother, this doesn’t seem mage-like at all."
"A qualified mage will make all necessary preparations before the battle begins and won’t foolishly rush around like an idiot. You’ve watched too many novels and movies," Fang Zheng shrugged in response to Little Hei’s comment. There are many ways for mages from the Main World to fight, but unfortunately, aside from the Shaping Type, other mages rarely have the kind of flashy and splendid battles seen in movies and animations. And this is especially true for Prophecy Mages, whose battles are almost devoid of any trace of fireworks... often, their enemies don’t even know how they were taken down.
It’s hard to say for mages in this world, but if it were in a world like Harry Potter’s, Fang Zheng could eliminate the entirety of Gryffindor while sitting at home with just a flick of his finger. He wouldn’t even need to act personally; by merely tweaking the threads of fate a little, he could change everything. In front of Fang Zheng, the magicians from Harry Potter’s world stood no chance at all.
```
As for those worlds where the written magic reads as superpowers, they are even less useful. Basic attacks of the Elemental System can be completely annulled by Fang Zheng’s Elemental Shield...
However, Fang Zheng still exercised caution regarding the mages of the Moon World, not to mention the freakish level of those termed as Mages. This world’s magecraft had already moved beyond the crude stage of simple application of power and involved various magical tactics. Although most of these tactics could be ignored from Fang Zheng’s perspective, still... it’s always good to be careful.
After releasing Little Ding Dong, Fang Zheng casually cast Human Detection on himself, but the feedback information surprised him.
"...The Red Faction didn’t send out a MASTER?"
Fang Zheng initially planned to handle things as he had with Red Saber previously, by directly eliminating the opponent’s MASTER. But to his surprise, after casting Human Detection, he found not a trace of anyone in the entire forest... which meant that not a single MASTER from the Red Faction had come?
Were they scared off by his previous trickery, or was there another reason? Normally, unless sticking together, it would be safer to have a MASTER accompany the servants. On his side, six servants were deployed along with one to assist from afar, allowing the MASTERS to sit comfortably in the rear. Since the entire force had mobilized, it could be said that if anything were to happen, they would be able to respond immediately.
But with just three servants on the opposing side, to be so recklessly confident... was it overconfidence in their own strength, or simply a lack of intelligence?
As Fang Zheng was pondering this, Little Ding Dong had already reached the designated position. Soon, images of the servants appeared on Fang Zheng’s screen, and he immediately overlooked the muscle-bound lunatic and his own servants, zooming in on the two Red Faction servants in the background.
It was a man and a woman. The man was a cheerful looking young man with a long spear, and next to him was a girl in a one-piece dress with emerald green hair, and more notably, she had a pair of lion’s ears and tail...
Holding a longbow in her hand, she must be ARCHER...
For Fang Zheng, identifying the identities of these two people was not difficult.
"Ratziel!"
After confirming the targets on the screen, Fang Zheng quickly summoned the Omniscient Angel "Ratziel," and soon a hefty "encyclopedia" appeared in his hands. The originally blank pages rapidly filled with information about the two servants.
"Red Faction’s ARCHER Atalanta and RIDER Achilles, huh? Why is a RIDER holding a spear anyway, don’t they know Lancers have been historically unlucky with rank E luck?"
"...Big brother..."
"Hmm? What’s up, Little Hei?"
"Don’t you think... this is kinda cheating?"
As she spoke, Little Hei’s expression was complex as she pointed at the "Ratziel" in Fang Zheng’s hands. No wonder she felt that way; she understood very well what the mages of this world could achieve, and yet, in this Holy Grail War, while others remained ignorant of their opponents’ locations, battling largely by guesswork, Fang Zheng was broadcasting live from a satellite, and even used an encyclopedia to thoroughly investigate his opponents... there was no sport in that anymore.
"This is what a true Mage is, little girl. What do you know?"
Fang Zheng snorted lightly and patted Little Hei’s head.
"Those in the cartoons are Superpower Users! A Mage’s battle must seek stability, being cautious rather than reckless is key! Do you, an ARCHER, also hold a dagger and rush to engage in close combat... well, never mind, forget I said that."
Mid-sentence, seeing Little Hei’s black and red combat suit, Fang Zheng promptly corrected himself.
After all, there’s a saying that a Bow user who doesn’t wish to engage in melee is not a good Bow user...
"Eh? Look, big brother!"
But Little Hei wasn’t concerned with these trivialities, she intently pointed at the screen with curiosity. Fang Zheng looked at the screen to see that the Red Faction’s ARCHER and LANCER—no, RIDER—had exchanged a few words, after which the RIDER charged forward with his long spear while Red ARCHER rapidly retreated into the forest.
"Looks like Red RIDER is planning on battling Black SABER and BERSERKER."
Fang Zheng pulled up the map and quickly located Red RIDER not far ahead of Black SABER and Black BERSERKER who were swiftly approaching. Simultaneously, on the other side, Muscle Bro was about to encounter Vlad III’s group.
Red ARCHER’s choice to not retreat... meant she planned to act as backup support?
"What do we do now, big brother?"
"Let’s go, Little Hei."
With that thought, Fang Zheng made his decision.
"The target is decided, let’s go after the Red Faction’s ARCHER."
