The remaining two servants, Matteo Delaguna and Carlos Sebolt, were working together in support of Lord Salvador.

This was actually the first time that Hector had seen either of them fight. If circumstances were less chaotic, he might've liked to assess their combat prowess a little more, but he was only able make out so much in the unfolding mayhem. He already knew that they both used transfiguration, and he could sense them relying on it now to create soul-infused smokescreens and acid attacks.

Matteo was surprisingly agile, however. Hector wanted to warn him not to go so deep into the enemy's front line, but he was handling it well, bobbing and weaving between claws and flaming acid, only catching the occasional scrape here or there as he pummeled the monsters with fists that were quite literally on fire.

Carlos, meanwhile, was the only servant relying on firearms at all, but he was making interesting usage of them. He had multiple pistols on him, but the one he was currently using did not seem be a normal gun. Its loading chamber was very large, and Hector could sense him loading small chunks of his left arm into it instead of standard ammunition.

The resulting shots seemed to have different effects as well. Sometimes, they would drill through the monsters like tissue paper, and other times, they set the creatures ablaze or exploded on contact.

Carlos was also the first one to to start changing up his tactics, Hector noticed. He stopped trying to use fire and explosives and instead tried using bullets that froze on contact.

It didn't entirely work, since the bullets were small and only managed to freeze parts of the monsters, but it seemed clear to Hector that tactic was at least successful in slowing the little bastards down.
