[The light screen projection did not pause for these discussions. The plot continued to advance, and this time, it shifted to the pair of Ryuunosuke Uryuu and Bluebeard.
The two were currently in a sewer—the large kind with water storage capabilities, wide and supported by many pillars.
The ground here was already inscribed with numerous magic circles drawn in fresh blood. An ominous aura permeated the space. Wooden torches had even been set up, burning with an eerie, blue flame.
Because the location was damp and dark, the atmosphere of the entire video became incredibly grim and terrifying, as if it had suddenly switched from a lighthearted daily comedy to a horror film.
Without a doubt, this was the 'Workshop' of the fake Caster team, their base of operations. Territory Creation—this was a skill that every Servant summoned into the Caster class should possess.
It's just that some territories were bright and magnificent, like the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, while others were incomparably dark, like the scene before them now.
It had to be said, the last few scenes shown on the light screen had all carried this dark and bizarre style.
Next, Ryuunosuke Uryuu was seen entering from the entrance with a cheerful smile. Behind him, more than a dozen children, aged only between four and eight, followed him in.
Each of these children had vacant eyes and dull expressions, clearly under some form of hypnotic control.
Bringing these children here, Ryuunosuke immediately ran excitedly to the fake Caster, showing off a metal bracelet on his wrist with a smile of delighted surprise, "Master Bluebeard, this is super useful! All these kids followed me so obediently, it's so COOL~~~~!"
Bluebeard's eyes widened, revealing a 'cordial' smile. "Excellent, Ryuunosuke-kun. Thank you for bringing these. I assure you, I will make good use of these sacrifices."
Ryuunosuke said happily, "Alright, alright! Master, hurry up, hurry up! Let me see the most awesome killing technique! I absolutely can't wait any longer!"
As this exchange concluded, under the angry, heavy, or horrified gazes of countless people in the real world, all the children were lifted by an invisible force. Then, one by one, they were fixed to the sewer pillars in a crucifix-like posture.
That pose was highly reminiscent of the religious inquisitions in medieval Europe.
Afterward, Bluebeard, holding his book bound in human skin, stared with eyes as wide as copper bells and chanted a series of obscure and difficult incantations.
Then, a horrifying scene unfolded. Dark purple energy enveloped each child, and the hypnotic effect ended. The children regained their senses, their initial confusion about their surroundings quickly turning to terror. Then, as if enduring immense pain, they began to let out blood-curdling screams.
In that agony and despair, the children's bodies were stretched open from the inside. Like a xenomorph bursting from a chest, soft-bodied, tentacled monsters, a mix of octopus and squid, tore themselves out from within the children.
These monsters were all purplish-black, slimy, and stained with the children's flesh and blood, looking utterly terrifying.
The most horrifying part was that after these tentacled monsters, each about a meter tall, burst out, the children were not yet dead. With the tentacles still connected to their bodies, the children were kept alive.
And next, while they were still alive, the monsters began to devour the children's bodies. The sounds of chewing echoed one by one.
Watching all this, Ryuunosuke Uryuu let out continuous, fanatical cheers.]
---o---
The disgusting nature of this scene was not much less than that of the Matou family's Worm Pit.
Fortunately, after having witnessed the Worm Pit, everyone's tolerance for such nauseating images had increased significantly.
Eriri Spencer Sawamura: "I am so done. Can you people in the Holy Grail War just fight properly? Why do you always have to involve innocent people?"
Kiana Kaslana: "The more I watch, the harder my fists get. I can't take it anymore! If it were me who transmigrated, I would definitely smash that Bluebeard's eyes and grind his face into the ground—"
Conan Edogawa: "Speaking of transmigration, we haven't seen Elysia in a while. Did something happen to her?"
Otto Apocalypse: "Not exactly. The light screen has been showing events that are all laying the groundwork for the upcoming punitive expedition against Elysia and the fake Caster. So, in reality, not much time has passed. Elysia should be about to be forcibly dragged into the Holy Grail War now."
Eden: "To think they would put Ellie on the same punitive list as people like that. Tokiomi Tohsaka, you have truly caused a great deal of harm—"
Raiden Mei: "Look, that's... Elysia—"
Following Mei's comment, a familiar face appeared on the light screen.
That's right, it was none other than Elysia.
---o---
[Outside the fake Caster's magic workshop, Elysia was looking around, seemingly searching for something.
According to the information provided by that Marisbury fellow, the demon who was murdering and abusing children everywhere should be here.
Seeing Elysia's face once again, many people couldn't help but be moved to tears. Although the video clip that just played was not long, its content was more R-18 than R-18. Many people who watched it still hadn't recovered.
Now, seeing Elysia, who stood in stark contrast to the dark and bizarre style, they were so moved that tears were about to fall. No matter how strange and disgusting the style was, as long as this girl appeared...
An overwhelming sense of security filled the audience's hearts. They did not believe that the fake Caster could defeat a person who even the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, was wary of.
Please, kill that perverted duo quickly—
At this moment, so many viewers couldn't help but want to cheer for Elysia, wanting her to annihilate that sinful Caster team, and then go to the Matou household, kill the old worm, and save that poor child.
Unfortunately, the Elysia before them could only be watched from afar, not communicated with. They knew what was happening, but Elysia didn't have Clairvoyance like Solomon. All they could do was die of anxiety as outside observers.
"Hmm... According to Marisbury, that Caster's Master is the Fuyuki serial killer. They often target women and children, killing them with extremely cruel methods."
Elysia's face was ashen as she recounted Marisbury's words. Targeting innocent girls and children, and with such cruel methods... she absolutely could not forgive such people.
Never mind not intervening in the Holy Grail War. From this moment on, she would use her own power to let these Servants and Masters who dared to harm ordinary, innocent people know that humanity was not something they could hurt as they pleased.]
