It was no matter, as Caster's own help was providing minimal effect onto the course of the battle but if seconds were enough to be bought then it would work. But it seemed like the [color=8dc73f]Servant[/color] that Caster was working with seemed to have had the wrong idea on who he was his companion but it was fine, to distort one's knowledge was fine as the possibilities of finding out his true identity would be kept low. However, with other pressing matters such as presence finally being noticed, not like they were planning to be discrete about their approach. However, it was a concern now that the other [color=ed1c24]Servant[/color] seemed to have noticed them and thusly assume that whoever assisting him would try to disrupt him if they could. [color=darkslateblue]"Master, prepare ourselves a defensive area around the map and get ready for when I call upon you. It may not be discrete if we continue like this but our options are much more diverse if we do this"[/color] Caster said to Jonathan and waved his feathered fan at his describing more details on what he wanted to do which Jonathan agreed on. [color=cadetblue]"I am assuming the best I can do then? A bounded field it is then!"[/color] He smirked before getting to work on building a protective bounded field as he watched as Caster pace around deep in thought. Caster was briefing Jonathan as he was working on his spell, telling him about the situation so that he was aware of what was happening. Finally, Caster turned himself away from the window and went back to the inside of the building was a central area that was empty, except for the map that depicted the scenes happening outside which Caster updated. Taking in the surroundings as he contemplated on what to do with the limited resources he had before looking at his feathered fan and raised it up as a surge of magical energy activated his weapon's secondary ability. Within this space of his, the creation of soldiers to provide the power needed was indeed possible and made simpler through channeling with his fan that was able to create twenty-five warriors who were engorged with mana to fight for him. It would be suitable for fulfilling the need of providing firepower against the lone Servant who had overwhelming power. As each attack was backed behind a dense form of mana which created it form that was stronger than most humans. Sadly, Caster knew he wasn't able to help much in the physical department but his reservoir of magical energy would allow him and his master to fill up the gaps. Looking around for his Master, spotting him in the corner of his eye as he wondered if he had finished his preparations which he received a nod. With a wave of his hand, he could feel the dormant structure of the barrier and raised it up by supplying the energy needed for it. The amount of mana that he had on hand was more than enough for him and could prove to support his Master's own spells for the meantime. Watching as the magical energy he provided to his Master's rune begin to glow as they began to build a barrier around the central area defending it. [color=darkslateblue]'Perfect Master, this will be the ideal place for you to stay while I am commanding the different sides of this battle'[/color] Caster said with a sly smile [color=cadetblue]'Wait... What?'[/color] Jonathan blinked several times but with a wave of the crane fan, many things went unsaid and could be felt instinctually. With the sudden movement for ten of those soldiers that Caster had made, were suddenly armed with bows and began heading to the rooftop while the rest remained on standby. [color=cadetblue]'Wait, you sure about that? The last time they did that it didn't work but we can try again...'[/color] Jonathan said as he received his own orders but remembered Caster telling him some important things earlier. [color=darkslateblue]'It doesn't hurt to try on our end and learn more about that Servant, but if it doesn't succeed then it would be a problem for our fighter in the front.'[/color] Caster said mentally as watched Jonathan finish inscribing his spell onto one of the soldiers who were purely built from mana, they would function as remote detonators for the spell that his Master would create. Looking at the runes that his Master had written, he questioned the purpose of the spell that he had created [color=cadetblue]'Oh, those runes are combined to create a fire spell which considering our resources is the best that I can do right now.'[/color] Jonatan said before continuing [color=cadetblue]'The Laguz rune (ᛚ), Gebo rune (ᚷ), Ingwaz rune (ᛜ), Sowilo rune (ᛊ) and the Tiwaz rune (ᛏ) work together to form essentially a bomb. Of course, science and magic don't usually mix well together but in this case, they compliment each other and in this weather it will work!'[/color] Jonathan said as he droned on about the abilities of the spell [hider=Inscribed Spell] The Spell that is inscribed onto the soldier can be explained as a 'thermal bomb' in the most simplest of terms. As when prana is charged into the runes, the surrounding water vapor in the air will be transmuted into oil by the Laguz, Gebo, and Ingwaz runes as a component for the spell. Then the oil will be then set on fire by the Sowilo rune which the combustion of such a large amount of oil will cause a chemical reaction to suck in the surrounding oxygen molecules according to how much oil was burned (following the law of conversation of matter). The consumption of the nearby gas would cause any normal person to pass out from the lack of oxygen and pressure being pulled against them into the reaction. This effect is possible through the Tiwaz rune which is not only a rune of air but also analysis and rationality which increases the power of the spell by taking advantage of the law of physics and chemistry to turn a moderately powerful fire spell into a powerful and quite a potent one. Operating in the same way as an air-fuel bomb or in essence a thermobaric weapon. Which excludes a tremendous amount of heat and light from the energy being produced as the main effect being used in this spell. To say the least, the spell is fatally deadly to any magus and equally dangerous to a Servant as well. With it being a unique blend of modern civilization operating with the old system of rune magic to create a spell impossible back in the old days. This spell is almost second to none in terms of explosive prowess and destruction (with the exception of nuclear weapons). [/hider] Knodding to his Master's explanation, he was only partially listening as he watched the position of his archers began to set themselves of the rooftops. Waving his fan as an order was given to them [color=darkslateblue]'Fire at our Lone Target, avoid hitting our ally.'[/color] he commanded as he knew they would follow his commands as best they could. The soldiers in the room with Caster and Jonathan also received their own mission as they became armed with their own weapons. Fifteen soldiers armed with various weapons that would cover the different ranges in close and personal combat. Some were armed with short swords and shields, others with lances and a few with chain whips that would cover each other weaknesses. Watching them in awe as Jonathan looked at Caster who commanded them and saw him return the windows once more to observe what was going to happen now. However, before he left [color=darkslateblue] 'Remember, stay in this room and you shall be safe. I trust in your capabilities Master but just in case I have left some soldiers to defend you.' [/color] he said before leaving. Jonathan sighed at his Servant's command but there were five other soldiers guarding him. Sighing at his situation, at least he should take his time and hide so he wasn't so obviously spotted, and thus stowed away in the room. Looking back outside the battleground, he watched as the Lone Servant was continuing his clash. He watched as his mana-created soldiers began exiting the building, exposing their position but as they rushed the [color=ed1c24]Lone Servant[/color] it would serve as a distraction. With loud noise echoing as the doors crashed to the side announcing the presence of the ten men [color=darkslateblue]'As a note of caution, avoid the arrows and get far back when my soldiers approach the brute, lest you want to get burned again. I'll do my best to allow yourself to get some room'[/color] Caster said to the [color=8dc73f]Servant[/color] he was cooperating with a wave of his fan before his ten archers on the roof took aim and began firing in a systematic way. Trained with experience as if decades of military service were drilled into them, they would be able to fire three shots in per every minute like the [color=00aeef]Servant's support[/color] earlier if given the time. However, a hail of ten arrows was something not simple to defend from even in the case of the mana soldiers. It, however, was only a veil to distract the advancement of Caster's soldiers on foot who were moving forward. Together the two groups moved in perfect synchronization, as expected of Caster who was the military tactician during the era of The Three Kingdoms. Within moments, the soldiers were participating in the melee combat as the surrounded the [color=ed1c24]Lone Servant[/color] who was now even further outnumbered. Five soldiers in the front with swords and shield, three behind them to support with spears and two with chains to cover any openings. Of course, Caster wasn't going to fight fair, as the formation of soldiers was purely numerical advantage to cover their lack of strength with skill and knowledge ingrained into them. Their approach to the situation was quick to be aggressive and entered the range of the [color=ed1c24]Lone Servant[/color] before entering the defensive before holding out. It was the perfect moment to escape the [color=ed1c24]Lone Servant's[/color] attention for the cooperating Servant that Caster was helping out. As his soldiers sparingly would retaliate with their own attacks but it only served to encircle the Servant. Once the [color=00a651]other Servant[/color] had disengaged from the battle, the soldier that was written with Jonathan's runes approached the [color=ed1c24]Lone Servant[/color] and locked hands with the other soldiers. By the command of Caster, these walking batteries of magical energy was consumed to activate his Master's spell. Upon activation, it would take more than a simple leap back as the mystery contained within the spell released itself upon everyone in the direct vicinity. Consuming the soldiers in their entirety as a generous amount of mana was packed into generating the strongest result from the spell. Its effects were further empowered as the wet atmosphere of Fuyuki City fueled the spell along with by being near the docks and air heavy with water as evident with the snow. As the widely available water resources were turned into oil suddenly that slathered the ground and uncomfortably in the air for a moment which ignited. The next events that happening was a vacuum suddenly centralized by the [color=ed1c24]Lone Servant[/color] as a fiery inferno consumed it in the center if it hadn't managed to escape. Even if they did, the force of the winds generated by the flames sucking in oxygen could be felt by the [color=00a651]other Servant[/color] who would have to ground themselves as best they could. Luckily, spiritual beings such as Servants needed no such things as oxygen to survive but other things did such as humans or like the fires in the general vicinity that had their own fuel stolen from them as they quickly were extinguished from the sheer reach of the runic spell that Caster had just activated. Consuming it blindly and indiscriminately, the flames raged as it burned with sheer heat that the surrounding snow had turned into water as it could be felt quite a distance away. Had the other Servant not sufficiently ran away far enough, it wouldn't be a surprise that they got second-degree burns from the scale of the spell as Caster did warn him. To say the least, there were no more fires in the surrounding area like before but only black scorch where Caster's soldiers had once been. The air seemed thinner and unnaturally warm that was obvious to anyone who could feel the change in temperature. With the surrounding area devoid of snow from the sheer heat, that was produced as it rained for a short time before turning back to snow of the slushy kind. Whatever the aftermath was, it was clear that if that didn't work was time to run more or less for everyone involved... [/hider]
