A Not So Evil God In Fate/Grand Order

After a short-lived battle, the bandit group was tied up and handed to the French soldiers guarding the little town. Of course, this was done by Seth as he was the one who had the most soldier-like appearance not taking into account Jeanne who for obvious reasons didn't get near them. He did get questioned but a hole in the wall by a punch gave the soldier the answers he needed.

Once that was over, they departed toward the city of Lyon. They didn't find any enemies along the way so the group decided to chat to pass time. Seth didn't join them as he was going a bit ahead of the group to detect if a Servant appeared seeing as Romani was unreliable as always.

Looking at the Ring of Light in the sky, he couldn't help but find it familiar but still the answer didn't come to him. Thinking a bit about the recent events, he guessed he must have seen it in one of his many reincarnations. He just needed a trigger to remember it.

Shaking his head he decided to think about the future. The battles were only going to become harder. If he didn't regain strength he won't be able to change anything, worse, he might even cause the death of those children.

'Well, I learned my lesson. If worst comes to worst, I will remove my limiters by my own volition and go all out even at the cost of my body breaking. I know I can beat the other Jeanne with that so it's a plus I guess...'

"I can see the city at the distance!" Seth was brought out of his thoughts by Mash's voice, looking ahead he indeed noticed a city, or what it was a city. Now what was left were just ruins.

Getting closer, they could see better the state Lyon was in. There was not a building intact, either they were totally destroyed or half burned down.

"So it was true, the city was destroyed..." Jeanne said with a disheartened tone.

"My detection range doesn't cover the whole city but there is no one alive in the range it does." Seth said shattering the little hopes Jeanne had.

"What about you, Doctor?" Mash asked but there was no response.

"It seems the connection was cut off, we will need to split up to cover more space." Mash said.

"Okay, Amadeus and I will go to the west side. Saber, do you want to come with us." Marie decided for both her and Amadeus and then asked Artoria.

"I don't mind." She agreed.

"Then Master, Ritsuka, Mash and I will go to the east side." Jeanne said but was met with a negative answer from Seth.

"No, you go to the east side with the kids. I'm going north in case one side needs help so I can get there faster." He didn't like the idea of splitting up but the city was big so they didn't have many alternatives if they wanted to find the Dragon Slayer quickly.

"..." Jeanne looked at him for a second before nodding. "I understand. Please be careful, if you need my help just use a Command Spell."

'At least she doesn't disobey anymore.' He thought but outwardly he hummed in agreement.

Having decided their next course of action they separated in their respective direction. Once he saw all of them go, Seth materialized his spear and started walking north while putting its tip on the ground to make screeching noises. He didn't lie when he said he didn't detect any people who were alive, but that didn't include the dead ones.

The noise would make them gather toward him and make the others have an easy time searching for that Dragon Slayer. True to his words, undead soldiers appeared from inside the buildings, some even sprouted from the ground.

Seth extended his left hand forward and black fire materialized around it, said fire morphed into the shape of a serpent and toward the group of undead at incredible speed. In less than a second, all moving corpses turned to ashes.

He kept eliminating all the undead he came across in the same fashion. If he had to say a strong point about himself right now it wouldn't be his combat prowess but his mana pool. It was kind of sad that he was not a magical God but a physical one. if that weren't the case he would have already killed Jeanne and her goons long ago.

The fire serpent from before was just a degraded version of one of his skills, he was using it to expend his mana instead of keeping it serving no purpose. Of course, if he were to use the original skill then the serpent would be enormous. Sadly, even with his large mana, it wasn't enough. He calculated that ten times the amount of his current mana was necessary to perform his weakest skill.

While he was strolling around the ruined city, he met Artoria, Marie and Amadeus who were coming from the west.

"Did you find the one we are looking for?" He asked seeing them coming closer.

"Unfortunately, we didn't. We did notice undead surging so we were going to help Jeanne and the rest. What about you?" Marie asked in a hurry, it seems she really wanted to go to the rescue.

"Just did, I'm going to go look for it. You can go ahead and help the others." Seth said earning a nod from the three.

Once they departed, he went to the direction where he had detected the Dragon Slayer. He didn't walk much when he heard a growl from the skies, a group of green Wyverns led by a red one was hovering over him.

Thinking of him as easy prey, one of them rapidly descended with its claws ready to grab Seth and rip him to shreds.

Seth looked at the incoming beast, grabbed its legs and slammed it into the ground. Not happy enough, he put his foot on top of the fallen Wyvern's head and then proceeded to crush it into meat paste.

Seeing the death of their comrade, more Wyverns came to the ground but all met the same end. This kept repeating until only the red one was left. But seeing as it had no chance of survival it retreated.

Not having any reason to chase after it, Seth let the Wyvern go. That was until he noticed the presence of a Servant near the rest. Quickly deciding something he looked at the direction of the retreating beast.

Grabbing a medium-sized stone, he threw it at the flying Wyvern. Upon contact, it shattered into dust and made the lesser dragon fall to the ground.

He got closer to it just as the Wyvern was getting up and shaking its head to snap out of its stunned state. Clutching its neck, he made eye contact with the beast. Eyes flashing golden, he said just one word, "Submit." and the beast fell under his control.

Jumping on its back, he commanded it to go east where the others were. The beast took flight with Seth on its back and departed.

Meanwhile, the rest of the group had just finished fighting the Wyverns that also attacked them.

"Finally, the battle is over. Not only undead but Wyverns too. They didn't lie when they said this city was plagued by monsters." Mash said with a little helplessness on her tone.

"Right...at least we managed to free those poor souls from their suffering." Jeanne said but that was when an unknown voice joined in their conversation.

"Do they even have the d.e.s.i.r.e to be freed? They don't hold such emotions I fear." A man with long red claws in a black coat with a white mask that covered the right side of his bandaged face made his appearance.

"A Servant...?" Fujimaru asked unsurely.

"That is correct, young man. People call me The Phantom of the Opera and I'm in charge of this city, the city where hell is on earth by orders from the Dragon Witch herself." The man said confirming his status as a Servant and also revealing his True Name without care.

"Now, let me hear your beautiful voice as you die. This destroyed place will be your stage, where I shall partake in the sound of your agony. Oh, Christine, will their voices ever compare to your magnificent one—" He didn't even finish his sentence when a spear pierced his head from high above.

The group looked up only to see Seth mounted on a red Wyvern with a face that said 'Really?' They couldn't blame him, though. No one expected the battle to finish this quickly.

Now dead, the Phantom of the Opera faded in yellow lights.

'I came all the way for this? Seriously?' He g.r.o.a.n.e.d in his mind. The majority of his battles were always like this.

"U-Um...Master?" Jeanne asked, not knowing what to say.

Artoria was more direct. "Bastard, have you taken the side of the enemy already?" She coldly asked.

"Go bark somewhere else. I never left your side." He said while lightly tapping the Wyvern's neck to make it go down.

While almost everyone was confused by the situation, Fujimaru's eyes were sparkling. "Kuro-san, how did you do to make that Wyvern let you ride on it?! That's so cool!"

"I just saved him while he was being attacked by other Wyverns, he was so grateful that he decided to follow me." Seth lied with a straight face, the red beast just looked the other way while a small tear fell from its eye, even a mindless beast like him could understand this was pure injustice.

"I see, that makes sense! By the way, have you thought of a name?" Fujimaru asked, still interested in the matter.

"No, he doesn't need one." Turning to look at the Wyvern he gave it a light slap. "Go, you are free now." He said and faster than someone could blink, it flapped its wings and flew into the distance.

Saber quickly covered her mouth trying not to laugh.

"He looked happy to go, though...?" Fujimaru asked with confusion.

"Don't mind it, some people's gratitude doesn't last very long. Anyway. I found the guy we were looking for, now that we have cleaned most of the undead we can finally go and rescue him." Seth said totally unaffected by that prick's readiness to flee.

"Really?! Where is he?" Mash asked

Pointing at an enormous building he replied, "In that big castle over there. I guess he is hiding to recover or something."

"If that's true then we need to find him as soon as possible." Jeanne said with urgency.

Agreeing with her words, the group marched to meet the Dragon Slayer. That was when Dr. Roman's voice was heard by everyone.

"Finally, the connection is back. Guys, you need to retreat! I'm detecting an ultra-size lifeform heading your direction, plus there are three Servants with it!"

"So Fafnir is coming, huh? Then I guess the crazy kid is coming too." Seth said, completely unfazed by Romani's words.

"Then why are you so calm?! I can sense the hate of that Dragon even from here! If he sees you then it will all be over!" He said appealing to his reason.

"Why don't you drink a tea or something and stop bothering, Romani? Finding that guy takes priority." Seth dismissed his words.

"Master is right...if we retreat now we may not get a chance to come back for him in the future. If what Master said is correct, then the other me might be here to kill that Servant to avoid a future threat." Jeanne agreed with Seth.

"It will be a real problem if the Dragon Witch comes, that's why we need to hurry." Marie said with a serious voice this time.

"I don't like the melody produced by the other Jeanne but if you fight I will do it too, Maria." Amadeus said after Marie.

"We just have to buy some time, don't worry." She smiled again.

"If you all finished with your cloying words, I suggest we get going. Considering they are on top of a dragon then they will come here sooner than later." Saber coldly remarked from the side.

Releasing a frustrated sigh, Romani spoke. "Okay, okay. If you already came to a decision I won't stop you. Wait for a second, I will check for readings on any Servant nearby."

"That's not necessary, Doctor. Kuro-san already spotted the Dragon Slayer before, it's in the castle." Mash said.

"Okay then, but please hurry!" He remained them once again.

Seth put Fujimaru on his shoulders to save time, thanks to that, they reached the castle in ten minutes. Going through multiple corridors they finally found the Servant they were looking for.

A silver-haired man with white armor and a big sword in a black sheath. The man had a green tattoo-like mark on his c.h.e.s.t and was so wounded you would have to question yourself how was he still alive.

"That wound...!" Mash was surprised by its gravity, you could even see some organs.

Seeing someone approaching, the wounded man got up and brandished his sword at them but was blocked by Seth's spear. "They still keep coming...one after...the other." He said with difficulty.

"Calm down, slayer of dragons. We came here for your help, not to fight you." Seth said easily parrying his sword. The Servant, using his weapon as support, looked confused at them.

"You have the same aura as Fafnir, so I guess you are Siegfried. Listen, that Dragon is coming here so we need to go now. With those wounds, you won't do anything more than throw your life away if you were to fight." Seth easily discovered the Dragon Slayer's true name, making him surprised again but for a different reason.

"I see... Then it makes sense I was summoned here." He said, coming to an understanding of the situation.

"Artoria, you carry Fujimaru this time. I will help Siegfried." Seth said then proceeded to put Siegfried's arm over his shoulder.

"Don't order me around, I don't remember becoming your Servant." Despite her words, she got closer to Fujimaru and carried him like a sack of potatoes.

Exiting the castle, the group tried to make their way out of Lyon. It was at that moment a roar filled with hate shook the skies.

The enemy was here.

*******************************************

Writing here because limit count on AT.

Ha. You thought I was going to do an epic battle for the worst Servant in the game? Keep dreaming!

Didn't expect for Seth to control Wyverns, eh? He has better control over serpents (for obvious reasons) and lesser dragons like that one. However, real dragons are out of the question. Also, he can control sphynxes if that wasn't obvious enough.

Welp boys, Happy New Year! My wish for 2020 is for MrMoist to come back and keep writing his awesome novel. I have the right to dream, okay?! Btw, I'm going to take a 3-4 days break, I have to spend time with my family as it's new years and all that.

I will still be around to answer any doubts you have, just not as often as before xP

Also, prepare for the sumanai jokes.
