It wasn’t just that. Even if they decided that they can’t beat it and run away how can they really prepare for it? It appeared without warning, who’s to say it can’t disappear again?

[color=662d91]“Can it just appear? Was it hiding all along?”[/color] he asked to Ruler. But hiding something like that seemed too ridiculous, how could that hide? Despite the fact that he wasn’t a magus the fact that it did something, that it was improving itself and shifting itself was obvious. Why didn’t it just do that before appearing? Was it that it couldn’t surprise them if that was the case?

But as frightening as the surprise was, confusion sown, if it was so fast and strong then why didn’t it configure itself in this mode, changing its body and “arms” and “blade”. If it was connected to individuals who were interfering with, and watching the war then surely they’d know what a servant was like, and how to exceed them. 

For some reason there was something noble, and yet terrifying in its swing. If it was strong with no apparent weaknesses then why was it strong? Why was it strong? Why why why?

It was strong because it was large.

It was strong because it was fast.

It was strong because it was skilled.

The first thing was the only thing unique to it. IT was just a larger servant, but that made it a threat to the masters. But even if you removed the masters from the battlefield it’d still be incredibly dangerous.

Would it be able to stand a chance against that girl?

...Somehow he felt as though he could imagine her victory. It was not human, but a castle was a thing that protected people . How could that which tormented people not defeat their protections? A castle was strong in the stead of normal people, but it could not conquer that which was beyond people. The dragon always kidnapped the princess despite the castle.

It was strong and fast, and too large to fight as an equal. But it was skilled because it could move with intent. Where was that intent coming from? From this giant of stone. It had to have a will, it had pain after all. It wasn’t just a robot acting according to moves programmed into it, it changed specifically into this. Was it adapting? Or was it mimicking?

[color=662d91]“Why is it changing only now?”[/color] he cried out to Ruler, unable to think of the solution. He knew so little, too little. It was large because it was a castle, it was strong because it was a castle, it was fast and skilled because this was a war of crazy things that shouldn’t be. If that girl was there, then why not a castle like that? What was hiding in this world all along? Would it be strange for a undefeatable castle to appear, in a war like this? If they found a weakness then couldn't it just change to make it disappear? if they turned a strength of it's own self against it couldn't it remove that? What were its limits? what could it not do? 

But if it had a scar then that meant it was hurt, right? In some form, in some way.

[color=662d91]“Why not before? Why is it only fighting like this now?”[/color] It was the only thing he could think of, ultimately. He could only offer dumb, obvious answers as to why it had the physical parameters it did, but why did it change like that and why did it not strike like that in the beginning? 

[color=662d91]"There has to be something, it could have just struck like that from the beginning and been like that before it came!"[/color]

Maybe it'd be a line of thought that would waste everyone's time and get them killed, but it was the only thing still. So he shouted his thought to the overseer until he was heard over the gales and those who spoke, giving their voices to the tortured winds instead of withdrawing within their mental links.
