"Next, let me give you the blessing of the goddess!" Stheno turned sideways and pointed forward with his little hand.

"Keep walking along this road, and you will see the entrance to a cave. At the deepest part of the cave, I have prepared a treasure. It is a hidden treasure that does not exist in this world or this era. I will give it to the interesting hero!"

"Hehe... Remember, as a goddess, I rarely give out rewards like this directly..."

"Are you sure this isn't a punishment, but a reward?" Koizumi raised his eyebrows slightly, his tone filled with distrust.

"Distrusting the goddess will bring divine punishment! And I did put a big gift inside..."

Koizumi didn't completely believe what Stheno said, and simply looked at Leone silently.

At least Leone should be very clear whether it is a gift or a so-called trap.

Feeling the gazes of the people around him, Leone suddenly felt a great pressure and could only nod slightly.

"Although I really hope there's a pitfall there, I have to admit that from a results-based perspective, you did make a profit, little brother!"

Chapter 824: Trial for the Brave

Koizumi went to the cave that Stheno mentioned anyway. The reason was simple: Koizumi was very interested in what the other party said.

Koizumi had thought about it for a long time, and he felt that Steno wouldn't try to trick him. Even if he did, Koizumi could only blame himself for his bad luck. Furthermore, Leone had said that, judging from the results, he had actually made a profit, right?

Even if he doesn't trust Stheno, shouldn't Koizumi trust Leone? After all, he's still his comrade.

Although that guy has cheated me several times, judging from the results, I haven't been cheated that badly, right?

And to be honest, Koizumi had a very subtle intuition that there was someone in there who had some connection to him.

As for who it could be, Koizumi would have a pretty clear idea once he saw it.

In the dim cave with very low visibility, the sound of light footsteps could be heard faintly.

The damp air made Koizumi frown, and then she continued to walk deeper into the uncomfortable cave at a moderate pace. She could vaguely sense the presence of some powerful magic inside.

Gu Quan held the Bailou Sword and Louguan Sword in his hands. Although a fight might be necessary later, Gu Quan tried to end it as quickly as possible.

Physical health is more important. I'll go back immediately after taking a look inside. I hope there aren't any troublesome people.

Outside the cave, Akagi and the others looked at the dark interior of the cave with worry.

Among them, the Little Emperor and Akagi knew that Gu Quan had an old illness. In this situation, if Gu Quan still went to fight the enemy, it would not necessarily be beneficial for Gu Quan, and it would likely aggravate his injuries. This was their main concern.

Mine, Ciel, and Murasa Mizumi looked at each other in bewilderment. Although they all wanted to help, they had no choice but to stay where they were. After all, Koizumi had said so, and the goddess didn't want them to intervene.

The goddess only wants to test human heroes, not these servants...

Furthermore, the goddess was only interested in human heroes, and coupled with Koizumi's certain traits, she was genuinely interested.

The aura of Medusa on Koizumi and the special feeling rising from Koizumi made Stheno extremely curious.

Once a goddess develops curiosity or even possessiveness towards someone, she will never be able to get rid of it.

"Brother, are you okay like this? Akagi, the trap set by that goddess in there is not that simple..."

Leone's face was full of worry as he stared at the cave in front of him, his head leaning towards Akame beside him.

"I don't know. The Master is very powerful, but the problem is that he has an old illness... and it can't be cured yet!"

Akado's face was stern, and the current Master was just like himself now, almost to the point of collapse.

However, even though she knew this in her heart, Akame had no reason to stop him, because she knew exactly what Koizumi was thinking.

"But I won't stop him. Master knows that if we go together, it will be difficult to retreat if we encounter danger. If it's just Master, it would be much easier for him to go alone. He's also trying to protect us!"

"It's really interesting, as a Master, you actually stand in front of your Servant..."

Stheno, standing by, also kept smiling, his gaze fixed directly on Koizumi, as if he could see through the darkness before him.

"Brother is still the same... although I don't hate that!"

Leone nodded deeply, his face full of admiration.

"Who wants a newcomer to protect? You're really being sentimental!"

"Main, you're obviously very happy, aren't you?"

Hill looked at the blushing Marin in front of him with a natural expression, and not knowing whether he was a sinister person, he stabbed her mercilessly.

"Who... who is blushing! Hill, don't talk nonsense!" Maine was suddenly filled with shame and anger.

"Oh~~~Main, you don't like our Master, do you? Now that Ciel has exposed you, you're so shy!"

Murasa Mizumi is not unaware of the love between children and parents. After all, she has lived for so long, how could she not be aware of this?

As soon as she saw the blush on Mayin's face, gossip immediately came to her cheeks, and Murasa Mizumi started playing with Mayin again.

Hill cooperated with Maine from the side, but he would stab Maine from time to time.

The little emperor, who was watching a show to kill time, had his eyelids twitched. Is your Hill an idiot or a sinister person?

The little emperor seemed uninterested in Gu Quan's affairs, but in fact he knew that Gu Quan was a man of measure.

Since Koizumi chose to do this, he must have his reasons...

However, the young emperor should get to know Koizumi better, and then he would know just how suicidal his Master really is.

Although he knows his limits, when facing a strong enemy, his passion will start to rise again!

“Click, click, click, click, click, click, click…”

Faintly, dense and strange sounds were heard from the cave, causing Guquan to pause in his steps.

"A massive amount of magic power is reacting. The sound of these footsteps... Skeletons? No, they're even deeper than Skeletons' footsteps..."

Koizumi's hearing was also very strong. Scarlet magic gathered in front of Koizumi's eyes. In an instant, his originally dark pupils turned into scarlet pupils, seeing through all the darkness in front of him and taking in all those foreign objects.

That was no ordinary skeleton soldier. Both the skeleton that made up the body and the color of the bones were completely different from those of a skeleton soldier.

That is--

"Dragon Tooth Soldiers!"

Dragon Tooth Soldiers are a type of monster created by adding dragon teeth to the materials used to make Skeleton Soldiers. Their strength is undoubtedly much stronger than those Skeleton Soldiers.

"This is what she calls a hero... Now it's like giving the hero a trial..."

A cold look flashed across his face, and the Bailou sword in his hand suddenly turned into a streak of light and slashed across.

With just one strike, all the Dragon Tooth Soldiers at the front turned into dust and dissipated into the air.

Carrying the blade of Bailou Sword on his shoulders, Gu Quan felt a wave of fatigue, but he was not going to leave like this.

Koizumi had a rough guess as to who was in the innermost part; it was undoubtedly a Servant.

As he walked, Gu Quan kept thinking, this guy is just a guy with no fighting ability, why did the little emperor's half send people to defeat him so seriously? Gu Quan thought that they don't even need to send servants.

Furthermore, this place was clearly not formed naturally, so there was no doubt that it must have been arranged by Stheno out of boredom. Although that person wasn't a Caster, but an Assassin, she was still a goddess from the Age of Gods, so it was perfectly normal for her to understand the creation of such monsters. However—

How did she get the raw materials? Did Leone get them? It's unlikely. Besides, Koizumi hasn't encountered many dangerous species around here. Most of them were probably taken to that island. So where did these materials come from?

"It seems that the guy inside is quite unusual... If that's the case—"

With a light laugh, a dazzling light burst out from Koizumi's body, even bringing a ray of light into the dark cave.

Around him, a large number of Dragon Tooth Soldiers were densely packed and continuously rushing towards his location.

"Let's finish this quickly, and then let me have a good look at the servant inside!"

The sword flashed, leaving a deep scratch even on the wall of the cave.

In just a moment, all the Dragon Fang soldiers disappeared from their original positions, and the ancient spring turned into an aurora and went straight to the deepest part.

As if sensing the light in the cave, a very tall and plump girl slowly raised her head.

A sense of oppression suddenly filled the entire space.

Chapter 825 Medusa, make a contract with me!

Although Koizumi had long guessed that there was a Servant inside, and that he had a special relationship with the Servant, after actually seeing the other person, Koizumi was still a little surprised and felt extremely strange about it.

The reason was simple, because the other party was indeed a Servant, but Koizumi did not recognize him.

There was a woman with a strange aura about her, and the familiar feeling that came over her made Koizumi feel puzzled.

Taking a closer look at her, her tall and voluptuous figure was enough to make any normal man's blood boil. She was wearing a tight black dress that exposed her shoulders and thighs. She also wore black shoulder-length sleeves and stockings that covered her thighs. Her long purple hair that reached below her knees was almost as tall as her own.

There is also a protective shield on the eyes, which covers the pupils tightly without leaving any gaps.

Seeing the other person like this, Koizumi couldn't help but wonder, can the other person really see with the eye patch on his face?

However, only after feeling the other person's gaze on him did Koizumi conclude that this guy could see.

That eye patch should have other functions... For example... to seal the Demon Eye...

For some reason, Koizumi could sense a strange aura in Medusa's eyes.

She seemed to be looking at someone familiar. Did we know each other before?

"Medusa..." Koizumi silently sorted out the clues in his mind and immediately realized the other party's real name.

Medusa said nothing, but it was clear that she was startled when Koizumi pronounced her real name.

Obviously, that was an unexpected behavior...so there is no doubt that Medusa is the other party's real name.

At some point, Medusa's hand was already holding a short spike-like dagger connected to a chain, and a trace of magic power began to flow out, then rushed on the chain dagger, causing a cold arc of light to flash at its tip.

"Looks like you're the boss of the final stage... I think I understand what your eldest sister meant by the reward! Indeed, if I can pass it, I'll really make a killing... Rider..."

A graceful curve crossed Koizumi's lips, clearly a cheerful mood. Gungnir transformed into a crimson aurora, merging into Koizumi's palm before slowly elongating, revealing its original form...

Medusa said nothing, but silently raised the weapon in her hand.

How should I put it? This guy might be unexpectedly the quiet type, but—

For some reason, when Koizumi mentioned your eldest sister, Medusa's body trembled slightly.

However, now is not the time to worry about these things. You know, now is the time for trial!

The scarlet tip of the spear seemed to have turned into a poisonous snake, piercing Medusa's neck cunningly and viciously, heading straight for her throat!

Koizumi had no intention of showing mercy. He had been restraining his strength to prevent his old ailment from worsening. Would he be willing to die if he showed mercy in such a situation? Heroic spirits were not easily defeated.

Especially for a hero killer like Medusa, Koizumi doesn't think the opponent's strength is that weak.

Facing Koizumi's ferocious attack, Medusa retreated, as if vanishing, suddenly and violently retreating.

"So fast!" That's right, it's not that Medusa can teleport, but that Medusa's speed is simply too fast.

Even Koizumi couldn't catch sight of Medusa at that moment, but—

It was only for that instant. As soon as Gu Quan stepped on the ground, there was a loud thud and his figure disappeared from the spot. Then, bursts of sparks and crisp collisions appeared in this space.

At this moment, Medusa also showed a hint of surprise. How could she put it? A Master's speed could actually keep up with the speed of a Rider like herself, and he could also withstand every attack of hers and even counterattack!

No wonder onee-sama is interested in him. He is indeed an unexpected hero...

Of course, that's all. For Medusa, apart from her Master, only her two elder sisters can make her express some emotional fluctuations. The life and death of other humans are nothing worth caring about to Medusa. This is Medusa, and she exists like this.

In fact, Medusa's attitude towards the Master is even better than that of her elder sister. Even if she has her own opinions on the Master's position or orders, she will cut off personal feelings and assist him, just like a Doberman.

The tricky scarlet spear tore through the air and pierced out like lightning with a sharp sound.

The chain dagger was also flying at a very fast speed, blocking the spear that was stabbing at him like lightning, causing a crisp sound.

"It's really fast! I almost thought he was fighting that bastard Cu Chulainn!"

Gu Quan's face turned ugly. His attack was almost perfectly neutralized by the opponent, who didn't even show any concern.

This is without using the Noble Phantasm, but in such a narrow space, it is not easy for the opponent to use the Noble Phantasm.

However, if it is a fierce battle like this, the current environment is still acceptable. It can be seen that this space was created by Medusa herself, otherwise it would be difficult for the highly mobile Rider to fight here.

Suddenly, the chain dagger in Medusa's hand spun half a circle in mid-air, and then, with an extremely sharp force, it stabbed heavily towards Guquan.

With a stern look in his eyes, the scarlet spear in Koizumi's hand began to swirl with crimson air currents. The bloody aura made Medusa frown. Then, the air around them seemed to be completely torn apart, accompanied by bursts of piercing sounds, and the spear tip slammed heavily into the incoming chain dagger.

The sound of metal clashing, loud enough to pierce the eardrums, continued to echo in this space.

In an instant, the two separated and just stared at each other silently.

"Vampire?" Medusa tilted her head slightly, and a cold voice slowly came out of her mouth.

I only borrowed the power of blood for that moment, but the other party actually captured the power of a vampire.

Is the other party's perception so sharp? But it seems understandable, because -

Independent Action C: Even if the master's magic power supply is cut off, Medusa has the ability to temporarily act independently. At Rank C, even if the master loses (or the contract is rescinded), Medusa can continue to manifest without magic power for approximately one day. Furthermore, since Medusa can gain magic power by sucking blood, she can also attack humans depending on the situation, allowing her to remain in the world for even longer periods of time.
