The gods descend into reality

"Bang~"

A sonic boom echoed through the air, and Cú Chulainn charged towards the black-robed servant in front of him without hesitation.

No matter what the opponent's Noble Phantasm has, as long as you kill the opponent before they can activate it, everything will be resolved.

"Bang~"

The water in front of them suddenly exploded, and black tentacles emerged from the bottom of the water.

It's hard to imagine that so many black tentacles could be hidden in water that's only waist-deep.

But we can't think about that now.

Cú Chulainn abruptly shifted his body and leaped into the air, the sense of danger in his heart growing stronger.

If I get grabbed by these black tentacles, I might have to leave right here!

"pierce--"

Without hesitation, Cú Chulainn raised his spear.

Unleash your Noble Phantasm! At this point, only by unleashing your Noble Phantasm can you kill the Servant in front of you and break the deadlock.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa~"

Countless tentacles, carrying an ominous aura, stretched out towards Cú Chulainn.

"Om~"

At the same time, a strange fluctuation occurred.

A phantom heart suddenly appeared before the servant in the black cloak.

"Fantasy Heartbeat~"

A faint, somewhat indistinct voice came from the mouth of the black-cloaked servant. Then, his club-shaped right hand slowly extended, more like a claw than a hand, about to grasp the illusory heart. But then, as if sensing something terrifying, it stopped.

The servant wearing a skull mask and a cloak suddenly retreated, looking disheveled.

The illusory inner voice that had been activated at the crucial moment suddenly stopped.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa~"

Under the moonlight, a cold glint flashed, and the black tentacles that stretched out from the water's surface were easily severed, not physically, but as if they were being severed conceptually.

This sudden turn of events was something even Cú Chulainn hadn't anticipated.

Following the normal course of events, Cú Chulainn's Noble Phantasm should have been activated at this moment to kill that third-rate Heroic Spirit.

However, Cú Chulainn was in a daze at this moment, as if he had sensed something incredible, and had no intention of continuing to activate his Noble Phantasm.

"As expected, you're still a long way from being a fierce dog."

The familiar voice made Cú Chulainn's body tremble involuntarily, not out of excitement.

It is a terrifying memory etched into the body.

In short, he was terrified!

Why would an old woman come out of the Land of Shadows?

What about Gaia?

What about Alaya?!

Labor and management reported someone attempting to illegally cross the border!

Chapter 277 When it comes to flirting, I, Cú Chulainn, am willing to call you the strongest!

The old woman has come in from the outer reaches of the world. Gaia and Alaya, aren't you two going to do anything about it?

This was Cú Chulainn's only thought at that moment.

As for that third-rate heroic spirit next door that almost killed him.

Sorry, at this moment Cú Chulainn would rather he had just been killed by a third-rate Heroic Spirit, because the being he was facing now was many times more terrifying than death!

Even though countless years have passed since my own time.

The scene of being trained by Scáthach is still vivid in my mind.

That's definitely training that puts you on the brink of death, where you could die at any moment if you couldn't swallow your last breath.

This is not the most important.

Most importantly, which god-like figure in this Holy Grail War was able to resonate with this old woman who hides in the Land of Shadows all day?

Although he was a little flustered, Cú Chulainn gripped his Noble Phantasm tightly.

Always be vigilant, no matter what. This was the first lesson the other side taught me, and I even got two more holes in my shoulder because of it.

Moreover, he and the other party are no longer in a master-disciple relationship.

Having been summoned by the Holy Grail, the two sides are now adversaries.

It's a life-or-death struggle, so I can't afford to be careless in the slightest!

"Whoo...whoo...whoo~"

The servant wearing a black cloak seemed unable to speak directly due to the method of summoning, and could only make sounds similar to the roar of a wild beast, resembling a black baboon.

But at this moment, Cú Chulainn no longer dared to underestimate the existence of this seemingly third-rate Heroic Spirit in front of him.

Although I reacted quickly in that instant and prepared to unleash my Noble Phantasm in time.

But if this old woman hadn't intervened, Cú Chulainn would have had to admit that his chances of dying were much higher.

This is definitely not some third-rate heroic spirit; it is at least a being that has left its mark on history. If underestimating it before was due to carelessness, then underestimating it now would undoubtedly be foolish.

"Bang~"

The next moment, the Servant used a tree nearby for leverage and charged towards Cú Chulainn Scáthach.

Although he is an assassin, it would be a disgrace to his title of hero if he didn't even dare to fight his opponent.

Scáthach didn't even glance at the assassins, and simply swung her spear lightly in her right hand.

"Boom!"

"Wow!"

The magic exploded instantly, and the terrifying shockwave caused the assassin to scream in agony. The next moment, he was sent flying backward at an even faster speed.

"roll!"

Her voice was indifferent, as if she didn't take the assassin in front of her seriously at all. In fact, that was the case. From beginning to end, Scáthach never even looked at the assassin.

"Ho...ho ho~"

The assassin scrambled to his feet in a disheveled state, then turned and fled into the darkness.

"Master, after all these years, you've really become a monster!"

Cú Chulainn tightened his grip on his spear.

"Ha~ Is this how you talk to me when we meet again?"

Scáthach tossed her purple hair like a young girl, her face full of mockery and amusement.

The fierce dogs of Kuran.

Before meeting Xiao Se, Cú Chulainn was undoubtedly the most talented and the most likely to kill him of all the students he had ever taught.

For a long time, he had hoped that he would kill him.

Unfortunately, Cú Chulainn never reached that limit, even after he died and became a Heroic Spirit.

While becoming a Heroic Spirit might seem like a great achievement, for Scáthach, it would be the strangest thing if her students couldn't even become Heroic Spirits.

However, once you become a Heroic Spirit, you completely lose the possibility of progress, and it becomes completely impossible to defeat or even kill yourself.

In other words, this is the ultimate achievement of Kuran's Hounds.

Seeing Cú Chulainn at this moment, Scáthach felt only regret and nostalgia.

He was, after all, his apprentice; I never expected to meet him in this way.

"Ha~ Can you please stop acting like a little girl at your age? It makes me feel like you're still a teenager—"

"Bang~"

With a swing of his spear, Cú Chulainn leaped into the air, his body tilting at an angle.

The sharp air swept across his face, revealing a clear scar that made Cú Chulainn's pupils shrink.

"How is that possible!"

His body slid backward, his eyes filled with disbelief.

In Cú Chulainn's view, your ability to sneak into the mortal world must also be due to the Holy Grail as your medium of descent.

That is not the true form.

Although the base stats of Servants differ across classes, those are just base stats.

Just as Saber has the strongest base stats among all Servants, it doesn't mean that other Servants are weaker than Saber.

The mutual restraint of classes, inherent skills, Noble Phantasms, and even the battlefield are all factors that determine the outcome of the battle. In Cú Chulainn's view, even if Scáthach came to the world as a Servant, her strength should still be limited.

and so--

I'm not a coward, I can fight, and I can even turn the tables and kill someone.

Such an idea naturally arose.

"Still no progress, my foolish disciple~"

The voice that came from the Land of Shadows was completely different from the one that spoke in the past, making Cú Chulainn almost feel like he was facing a chuunibyou (a person with delusions of grandeur) instead of Scáthach. But before he could even utter that old complaint, under the influence of magic, his body flipped over in mid-air, and several wounds instantly appeared on his blue bodysuit.

However, this gap also allowed them to widen the distance between themselves and Scáthach.

"Tch~"

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Cú Chulainn looked at Scáthach, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

"Alright, Master, Hassan is almost there. Kim Pikachu has already gone over."

The sudden sound in the air made Scáthach stop her next move, who was about to continue disciplining her unworthy disciple.
