Chapter 285: A Servant Beyond Expectation

To be honest, Li Ang had always found it a bit baffling why villains always insisted on making their basements pitch black—didn't they know good lighting was better for research?

By now the renovated basement was brightly lit, completely shed of its previous gloomy look.

Drawing on Old Bug's memories, Li Ang quickly finished carving the ritual array the summoning required.

After being an alchemist for so long, something like this posed him no difficulty at all.

'Come to think of it, most magicians choose to summon a Servant when their mana is at its fullest.'

'In that case—'

A cyan-white robe woven from energy instantly draped itself over Li Ang's body; he gazed at the array before him and thought silently to himself.

'At this point in time, the Dagailu Society probably only has Caster and Berserker left.'

In a Holy Grail War, Servants are divided into seven Classes: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker.

Honestly, for Li Ang it didn't matter which Class of Servant he summoned—after all, he had already prepared to take the field himself in the coming Holy Grail War.

But even so, he was still curious about what kind of Servant he might summon.

If he could choose, he'd still have liked to summon a Caster-Class Servant like Caster-mama, since he could use the chance to learn some techniques that had already been lost to the ages.

Thinking this, Li Ang didn't hesitate any longer, and began channeling mana into the array while starting his incantation.

"Thy body shall be under my command; my fate shall be with thy sword."

As mana poured in and the incantation began, the array gradually started to glow a pale blue.

Incidentally, using an item from a Heroic Spirit's life as a catalyst will very likely summon that corresponding Heroic Spirit.

For example, taking the Second Battalion Commander's Italian cannon. Nope.

Letting his thoughts wander, Li Ang uttered his final line: ". Cross the suppression wheel and appear—Guardian of the Scales."

As his words fell, a blinding flash of light swept past, and a human figure instantly appeared amid the drifting mana.

And upon seeing the figure, Li Ang's expression couldn't help turning strange.

You've got to be kidding me.

How could the Fourth War summon out something like this?

But if one had to say it, the other party did indeed seem to have some connection to him; just from this, it looked like this world wasn't simply the Fourth War after all.

As the dust gradually dispersed, the figure revealed itself as a mature woman wearing a deep-purple gauze dress.

". How interesting." The mature woman looked at the man before her and couldn't help slightly furrowing her brow. "You are my Master?"

"That's right."

Li Ang nodded—he had already recognized the other's identity.

Scathach, or more precisely Scáthach-Skadi, the Ruler of the Norse Lostbelt.

But judging from the fact that she could be summoned as a Servant, the Norse Lostbelt was probably already done for.

Hearing this, Skadi fell into a brief silence, and only after quite a while did she speak: "You and the Great God—"

"What is your relationship?"

She sensed a familiar yet somehow off-kilter aura from the man before her.
