Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

If it weren't for its extraordinary immortality, which allowed it to revive the moment it died, it would be dead by now!

This situation was far beyond what Aozaki Touko and Golden Wolf had anticipated!

The golden wolf was lying on the ground, still a little stunned, not quite understanding what had just happened...

Aozaki Touko realized what was going on the moment Artoria removed her disguise.

This girl isn't a magician at all, she's a Servant!

He was planning to ambush others, but ended up getting tricked by them!

......

21. Cú Chulainn's Prophecy Star

Cú Chulainn is now in dire straits.

Before him lay swirling yellow sand and countless enemies.

And the opposing king has already roared.

"Our opponents are the Light of Ireland, the great hero who is half-human and half-god—my legion, let us show them our might!"

The king with red hair, driving a chariot, spread his arms before the army.

Then his incomparably elite legion, each member a heroic spirit, which could be called invincible, followed the king's declaration and launched a direct charge against the enemy!

Although the king seemed to be rough around the edges, Cú Chulainn knew that the other party was not a rough guy at all.

Otherwise, if the enemy were to launch an attack while driving their own chariot alongside their own legion, then at the moment of contact, the instant the enemy entered the range of his gun, Cú Chulainn would be confident of piercing their heart and ending the battle immediately.

But once the other party knows his real name, they obviously won't do something so foolish.

He stood in the center of the army formation, his battle-hardened troops protecting him firmly, and at the same time, they cleverly used a nibbling encirclement to restrict Cú Chulainn's range of movement.

On this battlefield, Cu Chulainn could only trust the gun in his hand, and everything else... was the enemy, one after another, an endless stream of enemies!

No matter which way you look, there are enemies around you. An enemy's attack could strike from any point around you at any time, piercing your vitals and killing you!

He is now like a bird trapped in a thicket of thorns.

They are undoubtedly in dire straits!

Faced with such a desperate situation, it is difficult for anyone to remain calm. Most people, after realizing this, either cry and howl and collapse on the spot, or shout "Desperate situations make people grow" and then erupt in despair.

Even if the latter dies, he is still worthy of being called a hero.

But Kukul Churin was not that kind of hero.

Of course, he was not a weakling who would collapse on the spot.

He is the rarest kind of person. Even after realizing he is in dire straits, he remains himself, the carefree and free man!

Cú Chulainn looked at the thicket of thorns formed by his enemies, assumed a fighting stance, and his smile gradually became more pronounced, his wide eyes revealing a hint of wildness.

"Hey, bring it on."

He whispered calmly.

This situation reminded him of the shooting star he had seen when he was young.

It was a star that streaked across the sky and then burned itself out.

It was also the prophetic star that seemed to foreshadow his future when he embarked on his adventure.

His friends were saddened by that fleeting brilliance, and some even considered it a very ominous sign.

But only he was calmly certain at that moment.

—This body will eventually be like that star, exhausting everything at a young age and disappearing without a trace.

Cú Chulainn, who had this idea at the time, found himself smiling without even realizing it.

That smile is just like his today.

Because this is fine for him.

This is a very good fate for a soldier.

He accepted all of this when he was young, and his existence here as a Servant is proof that he has carried it through his entire life!

A battle fought alone.

A battle that never stops.

This wasn't the first time Cú Chulainn had faced such a desperate situation!

Even when he had to give up the freedom of his left hand and his magic spear because of his oath, he still smiled and enjoyed the battle, and accepted his death with equanimity.

So

"Come on, let's enjoy the battle together!"

Cú Chulainn, spear in hand, charged straight into the thicket of thorns that bound him, like a blue shooting star amidst the dark mass of people.

At this moment, he is just like the flying star he saw back then.

He has already begun to streak across the sky he has chosen, bursting forth with light.

but...

Cú Chulainn used his experience to assess the battlefield and quickly pinpointed the location of the king who had released the Reality Marble and commanded the army.

He has already started burning.

But before he burns out completely, he will try his best to make his brilliance shine as brightly as possible!

For example—piercing through the heart of that king!

Iskandar had been watching Cú Chulainn's every move.

Choosing to use the legions within the Realm of Boundary to surround and kill the opponent was already Iskandar's way of showing respect for Cú Chulainn's bravery. As for being any more conservative? What difference would that make from being scared off by the opponent!

What he has always wanted is not simply to kill his opponents, but to conquer them!

Therefore, Cú Chulainn's actions appeared to Iskandar as a challenge.

The enemy moved swiftly through the enemy lines. Logically, Iskandar, having discovered this, should have retreated by now, but he did not.

As a king, he stands with his people, and his figure should be admired and aspired to by his subjects.

Therefore... he will never back down!

"If you can do it, then come on, hero! Make a ruckus and fall before our ambition and our tyranny!"

Iskandar did not retreat.

After confirming this, Cú Chulainn pursed his lips in displeasure and quickened his pace!

He tore a gap in Iskandar's army and then leaped toward Iskandar atop his chariot, brandishing his magic spear.

When Iskandar faced Cú Chulainn in this state, he immediately grabbed the reins of his chariot and drew his sword!

"On the road of conquest and ravage, there is no room for retreat!"

As Iskandar tightened the reins, his second Noble Phantasm—Distant Devastation and Domination—was unleashed!

The thunderous bull pulling the chariot charged toward Cú Chulainn, its divine wheels carrying immense power and simultaneously unleashing the thunderbolts symbolizing the power of Zeus!

During the last Holy Grail War, Iskandar used this Noble Phantasm against Artoria. However, after releasing the Divine Wheel, Artoria was still able to release the Noble Phantasm. Both the Flying Hoof Thunder Bull and the Divine Wheel were reduced to ashes by the energy torrent unleashed by the Holy Sword.

But that was for dealing with Artoria.

Artoria possesses extremely strong magic resistance and magic release abilities, and her luck rating is also exceptionally good. Even when paired with Kiritsugu Emiya, with whom she has extremely poor compatibility, her luck still receives a D rating.

Unfortunately, the power of the Divine Wheel's thunderous force depends on luck.

If you're lucky, the probability of being hit by freely emitted lightning is low; if you're unlucky, the probability of being hit is high.

Defense and luck combined to destroy the A+ rated Noble Phantasm, "Distant Devastation and Domination," before it could even unleash its full power.

But Cú Chulainn's luck...

It can be said that its magic power rating is only C, and the protection against projectile attacks is just the right thing to do when facing wide-range, diffuse attacks.

In addition, because Bazett's Command Seals were temporarily cut off, Cú Chulainn directly lost his mana supply. After the Command Seals were transferred to Medea, Cú Chulainn hadn't recovered much before Aozaki Touko and Iskandar came after him—this was already proof of his bad luck!

Now it's even more so.

The lightning that occasionally struck Artoria was almost continuous when facing Cú Chulainn!

This greatly hindered Cú Chulainn's operations.

However, he probably already knew his luck was up to par—or perhaps he simply treated the lightning as part of the opponent's attack and didn't even consider the issue of luck.

So even in this situation, he hasn't given up; he's even still assessing the distance between himself and Iskandar.

Pulling the opponent into the gun's range and launching a guaranteed hit attack is probably no longer an option.

The lightning had already begun to numb his body. If he got closer, the speed of the enemy's chariot would definitely exceed his current speed!

Before you can even fire a shot, you'll probably get rammed by the enemy's tank!

So Cú Chulainn didn't intend to close the distance any further. Instead, he assumed a fighting stance, intending to throw his magic spear at Iskandar!
