Fate/Lust break

Chapter 87: Kadoc is here



Kadoc then arrived to the place of the group, as he looked at Mash. "I am here to help and rescue my dum ass best friend (Ritsuka), now any leads".

Mash looked at him and sighed. "Not yet, but we are trying we knows there is castle they are in but we can't find it".

Medusa then spoke. "I have flying for hourse again today and yet I still can't find it"

Morgan just sighed. "They probably turned it invisible"

Kadoc then spoke. "So what not we just hope to just bump into a walk or something".

Anastasia chuckles as she looked at him. "Will that is silly, My darling Kadoc".

Kadoc just sighed, as he still looked at the ice collar. "Can you take it of here"

Anastasia looked at him and spoke. "Nope".

Kadoc groaned, feeling the weight of the situation settling in. He had no patience for this kind of waiting game, but it seemed they were stuck with it. He could feel the pressure mounting—not only from Olga back at Chaldea, but also from his own team. They were counting on him, even if it was Ritsuka they were ultimately trying to rescue.

"So, we're just going to wait around for a miracle then?" Kadoc asked, raising an eyebrow at the rest of the group. "I mean, if the castle is invisible, how do we even know it exists? We can't just keep stumbling around hoping for a break."

Morgan, who had been quiet until now, finally spoke up, tapping her chin thoughtfully. "There is a way. But it's risky. If the castle is hidden through magecraft or some sort of anti-detection field, we might be able to bypass it—using something like an Aetheric Distortion Field, or—"

Medusa interrupted her, sensing the frustration in the air. "Enough of the technical talk. We don't need theory, we need action. We could use an item to bypass the invisibility spell, or perhaps we could create a distraction strong enough to draw them out."

"Or we could do what Kadoc suggested," Mash added, giving him a look. "Hope to bump into something... or someone."

Kadoc rolled his eyes but couldn't suppress a small grin. "Yeah, that sounds like my kind of plan, honestly. Just walk around, and hope we get lucky. Can't say it doesn't have a certain charm."

Anastasia, still standing beside him, was fiddling with an ice sculpture she'd conjured in her hands, absently molding it into a small figure. "You know, if you really wanted to make this work, I could always freeze the entire castle," she said with a smirk, her voice laced with mock sweetness. "It would be hard to hide something when it's encased in ice."

Kadoc looked at her in exasperation. "You're not making things easier, you know. I could use a little less sarcasm, and a little more action."

Anastasia just shrugged and patted his shoulder playfully. "You know I can't help it, darling. Besides, you're the one who wanted to do this the hard way."

There was a pause as everyone fell into a thoughtful silence, considering their options. The idea of waiting idly was unsatisfactory, but the reality was that they didn't have much else to go on. They had to act carefully.

"Alright," Kadoc finally said, breaking the quiet. "I'll take the risk. If we can't see it, let's see if we can't make them reveal themselves."

Mash gave him a solemn look. "Be careful. We don't know what Jalter might do if she senses us."

Kadoc smirked. "I've got Anastasia to freeze anyone who tries to get in my way."

Anastasia gave a teasing smile. "I don't freeze everyone, Kadoc, just the ones that need it."

"Not the answer I wanted to hear, but I'll take it," he replied, cracking his knuckles as he moved toward the edge of the group. "Alright, let's get this over with. Time to find Ritsuka."

As they prepared to move forward, the tension in the air was palpable. Everyone knew the stakes were high, but it was also clear that Kadoc was ready to face whatever came their way, even if it meant getting into a battle he wasn't prepared for. After all, this was his best friend they were talking about, no matter how much he complained about Ritsuka's antics.

Then Kadoc pumped into something, as he released that something was invisible, they got happy

Morgan then used a spell, the Invisibility stopped as then Everyone was disappointed as it was rock. "It is officially they made invisible object to throw us of, I am going to kill the Caster responsible for this"

Kama then spoke as well. "Not before I get my hand on them first, I will kill them then bring them to alive just to kill them again"

Kadoc let out a frustrated sigh, staring at the rock that had been revealed by Morgan's spell. "Well, this is just great. A rock. Really?" His eyes narrowed as he thought about the possibility of the enemy caster's intentions. "They've really gone to this much trouble to mess with us? Hiding behind rocks now? That's pretty low."

Morgan shot a glare at the stone, clearly seething with frustration. "I swear, when I find the caster responsible for this... there won't be enough of them left to resurrect. Not even Kama will get the chance to do her thing."

Kama, standing nearby, gave Morgan an amused look. "Oh, I will get my turn, don't worry. But you're right—these mind games are irritating. They've underestimated our patience. Which is unfortunate for them."

Anastasia, ever the tactician, stepped forward. "I think we've been led into a trap, yes? They probably expect us to grow impatient and rash. But that's not going to happen. We stay calm, we analyze, and we find a way around this."

Kadoc nodded. "Anastasia's right. They want us to lose focus. They're trying to misdirect us with tricks. And we're not going to fall for it."

Medusa, always focused on the mission, spoke up next. "We need to think bigger. If the rock was just a distraction, the real goal is to wear us down. So let's take a step back. There's something we're missing here. We need to keep looking for clues. Whatever's behind this—whether it's the castle or something else—they won't stay hidden forever."

Mash, who had been silently observing the group's reactions, raised a hand. "Maybe it's not about finding a physical castle. Perhaps the key is something more... spiritual? If they're using high-level magecraft to conceal it, there could be a magical signature we're overlooking."

"Exactly," Morgan said, her voice serious now. "If we can trace the magical energy used to hide it, we could at least locate the general area. It's not easy, but it's possible."

Kama grinned, the usual playful demeanor replaced by a glint of determination. "I can help with that. A little bit of divine magic should stir things up nicely. If we need to catch the caster, I'm more than ready."

Kadoc took a deep breath. "Alright, then. Let's give this one more push. We know they're here somewhere, and we're not leaving without Ritsuka."

With renewed focus, the group began their preparations. Each member of the team had their own role to play, their abilities unique but complementary in their pursuit of Ritsuka's location. Kadoc, still wearing the ice collar that Anastasia refused to remove, took a deep breath and prepared himself for whatever came next. He wasn't about to let Ritsuka—his best friend, no matter how annoying—stay locked up in some invisible castle for much longer.

The game of cat and mouse was on. And this time, they were determined to win.

As a few days passed, as Ritsuka was in his dungeon, as then he heard an explosion.

Ritsuka got up. "Alright time to escape"

As he activated Fire of the heart, it melted the chains, as then he destroyed the gate, he left his cell, he then went to Isabelle cell as he got good look at her and will he had to admit she was definitely motherly.

Isabella looked at him and spoke. "Ritsuka?... How did you escape and you could have just done that".

Ritsuka looked at her and spoke. "Ye, anyway for why, I think I can help Jalter".

He melted the door in her cell, carried in bridal carry, he then as he then activated hiper speed and ran, she yalled a bit but Ritsuka didn't stop he then broke a window and actived his skill Pegasu as the four Angelic wings where back as they landed next to Kadoc of all people will be didn't question why Kadoc was here

While everyone else charged in Kadoc and Anastasia was the last two people left to go, but before they can they heard a crash and low and behold there was the person they wanted to saved.

Ritsuka set Isabelle down gently after landing, still a bit winded from using his Pegasu skill to get them both out of the castle. The moment they landed, his eyes scanned the area quickly. He saw Kadoc and Anastasia standing in the distance, along with the rest of the group coming closer. His heart skipped a beat—he'd made it out, and now it was time to face the reality of what was to come.

As he turned toward Kadoc, he spoke with a quiet yet firm tone, "Kadoc, Jalter isn't a lost cause. I know she's not in the best place mentally, but she needs understanding. Not force. We can't just fix things by removing her like some broken tool."

Kadoc crossed his arms, still processing the situation. His gaze flickered between Ritsuka and Isabelle before returning to Ritsuka. "I see... so now we're playing the 'understanding' card?" He let out a dry chuckle. "Is that the Stockholm syndrome kicking in? Because if that's what we're dealing with, I'm gonna need a spell to reverse it fast. I'm not here to babysit some crazy woman with a deluded idea of what family is."

Anastasia, who had been quietly observing the exchange, shook her head but couldn't suppress a smile. "Already starting, huh? I knew you'd take the bait, Kadoc. Ritsuka always had a way of making the impossible sound possible."

Ritsuka shot Kadoc a glance, his face serious. "I'm not saying she's perfect. But she's not a monster either. I know you want to rescue me, but let's not forget that we're all in this together. Jalter has issues, yes, but with a little patience, I believe we can help her."

Kadoc groaned but then sighed, obviously not thrilled about it. "Well, if she hurts anyone else, though, I'm holding you personally responsible, Ritsuka."

Anastasia raised an eyebrow, "Let's not jump to conclusions just yet. The last thing we need right now is to make everything more complicated."

Ritsuka nodded at both of them, a sense of resolve building within him. "I'm serious about this. If we can get through to her—"

Before Ritsuka could finish, a loud crash echoed from the castle behind them. It was followed by an explosive burst of magic, and the familiar shape of Jalter appeared from the smoke and dust, flying toward them with reckless abandon. She landed gracefully, her eyes locked on Ritsuka. Her expression was a mix of anger and something far more complicated, but Ritsuka could see the flicker of doubt in her gaze.

"I knew you'd try something like this," Jalter said, her voice rough but with an underlying vulnerability. "You... You're not leaving me, are you?"

Ritsuka took a deep breath, walking toward her with a calming motion. "Jalter, you don't have to do this. You don't have to go through this alone. If you want to be a mother, you can be one. But you need to accept that you don't have to control everything around you to make that happen."

Her eyes flickered with confusion, and for a brief moment, the anger seemed to recede. But then, as if reminding herself of something, her expression hardened once more. "I won't let you take them from me. I won't lose my children again."

Ritsuka's heart ached at the desperation in her voice. He couldn't imagine the pain she'd been through, nor the fear that drove her to act the way she did. But he wasn't going to give up on her—not now, not ever.

"You won't lose them," he said gently. "But you need to trust us. We can work together. There's a way to help you. But it starts with you opening up, not shutting everyone out."

Kadoc shook his head but walked forward, looking at Jalter with a strange, somewhat pitying expression. "I have no idea if I buy your whole 'I want to be a mom' act, but if you hurt anyone here again, we'll handle it. And trust me, we're not going to let you do this alone anymore."

Jalter's gaze softened for just a moment, and it almost seemed like she was on the verge of breaking. But the walls she'd built up around herself were strong—stronger than anyone had expected.

Ritsuka stepped forward, placing a hand on her shoulder. "Jalter, I believe you can change. But I need you to understand that hurting people isn't the way to do it. Let me help you. Let us help you. You don't have to be alone in this anymore."

For the first time since Ritsuka had been brought to this strange place, he saw a tear slip down Jalter's cheek. It wasn't anger or hatred in her eyes, but confusion, fear, and a desperate longing for something that she had never truly allowed herself to have—love, acceptance, and family.

The silence stretched for a moment longer before she finally spoke, her voice barely above a whisper. "Can you really help me?"

Ritsuka nodded. "I can, and so can all of us."

Kadoc scoffed, but it was clear that even he was starting to reconsider his stance. "Fine, but you're not getting away with anything. We'll keep an eye on you."

Anastasia smiled faintly, glancing at Ritsuka. "Let's just hope you're right about her, Ritsuka."

Ritsuka looked at Jalter, his expression determined. "I believe in second chances. And right now, you've got yours."

With that, the group stood united—unsure of what would happen next, but willing to give Jalter the chance she needed. The journey to understanding was just beginning.
