Crossover Anime: Picking up Medea at the Start

While using a javelin to activate a Noble Phantasm doesn't guarantee a hit, it's more powerful.

so...

Having calculated the distance perfectly, Cú Chulainn, after his run-up, poured all his strength into the magic spear in his hand.

At this moment, he ignored the thunderous attack and no longer dodged the attacks from the surrounding soldiers who were charging towards him despite the lightning.

All of these attacks landed on him, instantly creating numerous cuts on his body.

But it didn't work.

Cú Chulainn possesses a remarkably high level of combat continuation, so unless he is instantly killed, no attack can stop his next shot!

This is the moment when the meteor burns at its brightest!

It is also the moment when the stars are about to burn out!

"—Piercing through the Death's Breath Spear!"

The crimson light ripped through the sky like a thunderclap.

But at that moment, the original barrier that had been filled with yellow sand began to dissipate, and the surrounding soldiers and Iskandar driving the chariot in front of them all disappeared. Cú Chulainn's all-out attack also flew straight into the night sky and was swallowed up by the darkness of the sky.

At this moment, Cú Chulainn collapsed to the ground, severely injured. Iskandar, who was standing in front of him, was somewhat surprised to find that he was no longer on the battlefield. He had appeared beside his Master, who had summoned him back using a Command Spell!

Moreover, they used two Command Seals without his permission and summoned him back as quickly as possible!

He was very unhappy.

But he couldn't get angry at his Master.

When he arrived, he saw that his Master had been captured, and even his Master's wolf had been knocked away by another Servant.

Faced with such a scene, even Iskandar, the King of Conquerors, could only sigh, let the night wind carry away his brief regret, compose himself, and turn his gaze and pent-up anger toward the guy who had kidnapped his Master.

"Have you been prepared to pay the price for arbitrarily interrupting our war?"

"I won't show mercy to an enemy who doesn't understand romance."

Upon hearing Iskandar's words, Roland, who had been visibly surprised when he first saw him, now regained his usual smile.

"Conqueror King... I have the same words for you—you lured us here without permission and set a trap. Are you prepared to be our enemies?"

......

!

22. Artoria: Conqueror King, I'm already in my second playthrough!

After Roland finished speaking, Artoria moved closer to him.

Iskandar, like Hyakko, has no memory of the last Holy Grail War, but Artoria does.

This conqueror king, like that hero king, is the kind of guy you'll never forget once you've met him.

Artoria still remembers the other party's inherent barrier and his army.

Therefore, she was wary of the other party, lest she get too far away from Roland and the other party pull Roland into their Reality Marble, just like they did with the sea monster in the last Holy Grail War, or if they were in a bad position and were all pulled into the Reality Marble, they wouldn't have time to protect Roland.

She was like that, and besides her, Bai Mao and Medea also began to take action.

After all, in addition to being responsible for the frontal attack, Roland and Artoria's main force also had the task of drawing the enemy's attention from the front, thus creating opportunities for Hyakko, who was hiding in the shadows, and Medea, who was in the rear.

Medea previously assisted Roland in clearing out Aozaki Touko's arrangements via remote means.

After that, Aozaki Touko lost control of the abandoned factory area, while Medea, along with Roland, Artoria, and Cú Chulainn, distracted the area. Medea then secretly had Hyakko carry the various materials she had been given to her and began setting up the abandoned factory area as well.

Compared to direct combat, Medea's true strength lies in her research into magic, her ability to create magical artifacts, and her skill in setting up battlegrounds.

So during this time, Bai Mao, who had been keeping a low profile, secretly transformed the entire abandoned factory area into a magical base set up by Medea under Medea's remote command, using his aura to conceal his presence.

It was during the time that Hyakko set up his position that Medea led Hyakko to the location of the spell set up by Aozaki Touko to interfere with the Command Seals.

Even Medea had to admit that Aozaki Touko's technique was extremely ingenious.

Moreover, even if a spell is well hidden, Aozaki Touko designed defensive and countermeasure measures when setting it up, making it particularly annoying to break even if the spell is discovered.

To be fair, even Medea had a very positive opinion of Aozaki Touko's magic skills.

But it's useless.

Although Hyakko has many professional skills, she is not good at magic. Therefore, in order to prevent her from having problems when setting up spells or encountering spells that need to be broken, Medea gave Hyakko a short sword that looked like lightning, which was formed from her Noble Phantasm, Manjushri-Breaking.

Bai Mao came with this thing.

So when faced with Aozaki Touko's disruptive spell, he simply slashed at her and destroyed the spell on the spot.

With the interference from this side gone, Medea was able to break free from the state of having only a vague connection with her Servant and re-establish a relationship with Cú Chulainn.

Then she realized that Cú Chulainn was in very poor condition.

Although she could cast some ranged support spells for Cú Chulainn, and she even had Hundred Faces bring a number of magical artifacts with different functions, it was still far from enough to help Cú Chulainn recover from his current injuries.

So after facing Iskandar on Roland's side, Medea thought for a moment and then used a Command Spell.

On Cú Chulainn's side, a voice that only Cú Chulainn could hear rang in his ears.

"In the name of the Command Seal, Lancer is restored to his fighting prowess!"

"In the name of the Command Seal, Lancer, heal your wounds!"

Compared to magic that requires a little healing, the boost that Command Seals can provide when there is enough magic power is obviously more powerful and more flexible.

So under the influence of the Command Seals, Cu Chulainn's injuries disappeared at a visible speed. He then got up and moved around a bit, discovering that even the physical strength he had lost and the magical power he hadn't had time to replenish because of the change of Master had been fully restored.

then

"In the name of my Command Seals, Lancer, go to support the battle on the other side!"

As Medea issued the order, she directly connected to one of the two rings she had given to Roland, activating this magical artifact specifically designed for teleportation magic.

With the help of the Command Spell, Cú Chulainn was directly summoned to Roland's side.

"Hey, hey, you've already used up three Command Seals..."

Cú Chulainn scratched his head, realizing to some extent the capriciousness of his new Master.

However, after he sensed the contract, he realized that something was wrong!

Even though he, the new Master, had already used three Command Seals, he could still sense their aura from the contract... and far more than three!

Based on the part he could sense... there were at least a dozen!

This caused him to stop halfway through his exclamation.

Where did my new Master get so many Command Seals?!

He was a little puzzled by the situation.

However, after being teleported over and confirming from the Command Seals that Roland and Artoria were allies, and then seeing Iskandar, who had just disappeared, on the other side, Cu Chulainn stopped thinking about these messy things.

He took up his magic spear, assumed a fighting stance once more, and smiled as he spoke to Iskandar.

“Unknown king, we meet again, and this time it seems you are the one in dire straits.”

Cú Chulainn was saying this, and his appearance was just the beginning.

Because Bai Mao transformed the area around this abandoned factory into Medea's magic domain, countless magic circles opened up in the sky at this moment.

No one doubts that if these spells were activated together, the barrage of spells, like raindrops, would instantly wipe out everything in this area!

Then, outside this area, a fog that shouldn't have appeared suddenly appeared around them, surrounding everyone present.

Dense footsteps echoed from the mist. One of Medea's signature magic tricks, the Dragon Tooth Soldiers, was activated. Countless Dragon Tooth Soldiers emerged from the mist. As long as Medea gave the order, these Dragon Tooth Soldiers would launch attacks tirelessly and fearlessly.

Finally, Medea's phantom appeared beside Roland.

She revealed her wrist, which was covered with a dense array of Command Seals.

This was a trophy found by Roland's Hundred Faces clone on Kirei Kotomine's headless body while cleaning up the battlefield after Roland saved Bazett and killed Kirei Kotomine.

After Hyakko retrieved the items, Medea transferred all the Command Seals to herself.

At this moment, the phantom Medea, having revealed her Command Seals, moved slightly behind Roland, indicating that Roland was the one in a dominant position on her side.

Medea and Roland always had a tacit understanding.

So after she learned about Roland's actions through the spell, she realized that Roland didn't intend to kill the other party—presumably because, apart from that Servant, the magician and even the other party's wolf probably met the conditions to join the gods.

Roland's continued presence by the magician's side was likely a way of telling Bai Mao that he wanted to spare her life.

That's why Medea took such a grand and elaborate action.

This action might seem like a prelude to a decisive battle, but both Aozaki Touko and Iskandar could tell that the other side was actually intimidating them, probably not wanting to fight, but rather to negotiate.

Faced with this situation, Iskandar breathed a sigh of relief.

With Aozaki Touko in the opponent's hands and given the opponent's current setup, he wasn't particularly keen on fighting.

And negotiations...

To be honest, if he hadn't found an opportunity with Cú Chulainn, he would have actually been planning to initiate a negotiation.

So after thinking about it for a moment, Iskandar took the opportunity to express his thoughts.

"Stop your protests... Although I don't know what you want to talk to us about, I happen to have something to say about the ownership of the Holy Grail."
