It's normal for an evil god to raise an Abyss.

"So, how is Xueyue's fighting ability?"

Lancer was obviously more interested in the other party's strength.

"As far as I know, in that war, the Lancer-class Diarmuid, the Rider-class King of Conquerors, and the Archer-class King Gilgamesh were all defeated by her one after another."

"Wait, stop for a moment. Saber, you just said that Xueyue participated in the Holy Grail War as a Master, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Saber nodded.

"So that means she, as a Master, has defeated three Servants in succession?!"

Toosaka Rin was shocked.

"Although it's outrageous, I have to admit that Miss Xueyue's strength is at least above mine."

After receiving Saber's confirmation, everyone fell silent.

Because this news is really too outrageous.

"Where in this world did such an outrageous guy come from? I've never heard of him before!"

Toosaka Rin scratched her head in distress.

"What if Miss Xueyue is from another world like us?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka made an assumption.

Chapter 169 Spiral Sword

Although this speculation may seem a bit of a sham, it is indeed the most likely possibility if you think about it carefully.

Ritsuka Fujimaru and Mashu proved that it is possible to come from other worlds. Combined with Xueyue's strength, it is impossible for her to be an unknown person in this world. So if Xueyue is from another world, everything makes sense.

And Xueyue's motive...

After discussing for a long time, everyone still couldn't figure it out.

"I can only ask Miss Xueyue in person tomorrow."

Yes, no matter what the problem is, everything will be revealed in tomorrow's final showdown.

-------------------------------------

The next day, everyone who had rested well gathered together and prepared to go to Yuanzang Mountain.

"Come to think of it, Ms. Fujimaru Ritsuka, your Command Seals seem to be different from ours."

Toosaka Rin seemed to have discovered something.

"Does your Command Seal have one more stroke than yesterday?"

Toosaka Rin remembered that the Command Seal she saw yesterday had one stroke consumed, but the Command Seal in Fujimaru Ritsuka's hand that she glimpsed today was still complete.

"Ms. Toosaka, you have indeed observed carefully. Our Command Seals of Chaldea are indeed slightly different from ordinary Command Seals. Our Command Seals recover one stroke per day."

"Hey! Isn't this a bit unfair?!"

Toosaka Rin was shocked. It turned out that the organization called Chaldea had developed the Command Seals to such a powerful level!

"No, Ms. Toosaka, you may have misunderstood something. Our Command Seals are somewhat different from yours. Our Command Seals can basically only be used as crystallizations of magic power. They do not have advanced functions such as forced orders or forced summons."

Fujimaru Ritsuka explained.

"Oh I got it……"

Toosaka Rin roughly understood that if it was only a magic amplifier that restored one stroke a day, although it was also very powerful, it was not that outrageous.

As everyone walked and talked, Yuanzang Mountain soon came into view.

Perhaps it was because Xueyue didn't intend to hide anymore. The closer they got to Yuanzang Mountain, the more blurred the original mountain became, turning into a larger phantom of the snow mountain. As everyone got closer, the phantom of the snow mountain gradually solidified.

When they reached the foot of the snow-capped mountains, everyone had almost forgotten that this was the territory of Fuyuki City, because when they looked around, they could only see glaciers that had never been seen in Fuyuki City.

"If this is some kind of magic, then the caster is too scary..."

Toosaka Rin couldn't help but sigh like this, and gained some further understanding of Xueyue's strength.

At the foot of the mountain, two figures, one big and one small, were waiting.

Abigail lifted the hem of her cyan dress and bowed slightly:

"Everyone, thank you for coming to this fairy mountain. It's hard work, but I can't just let you go up like this~"

When Saber saw the figure with long golden hair, she showed an expression of "as expected":

"It's you... Caster, you're still here..."

"Um, Saber, long time no see~"

Abigail responded to Saber with a smile.

"In other words, that little girl is the Caster of the last Holy Grail War. Regardless of why she is still alive today, why can a Servant still be a Master?"

Emiya Shirou was greatly surprised.

"This is indeed a loophole in the Holy Grail War. If Caster is a magus, then he can naturally summon more Servants. This can be considered a hidden advantage of Caster. However, in order to keep Caster under control, most Masters will not allow Caster to do this."

Toosaka Rin explained,

"From this perspective, Xueyue doesn't seem to care about this."

"But there is not enough time for you to whisper~ If you don't attack me, then I will attack you~"

Abigail said this, as if she was imitating someone's way of speaking.

Bazette took a step forward:

"Then let Lancer and I take on the challenge."

"But Lancer's injury..."

Mashu was a little worried about Cu Chulainn's injuries. Although he had received treatment, such a serious injury would not be healed in one day.

"This is what the Master and I decided. If there is a battle, I should be the first to fight! As a warrior, how can I be afraid of a little injury?"

Lancer is full of fighting spirit.

"Then I'll leave it to you! You better hurry up and catch up."

Fujimaru Ritsuka did not say anything to refuse. Except for Bazette and Cu Chulainn, the remaining five people stepped onto the straight ice stairs.

"Sacrificing yourself for others?... You guys are quite conscious~"

Abigail nodded.

"We are not that noble. In other words, we have made plans to defeat all of you."

Lancer showed his red spear.

"Berserker, use the Command Spell to defeat Lancer!"

Abigail cast a Command Spell without hesitation.

Berserker's magical power surged:

"Don't worry, I won't give up on the wounded. Even if they don't cooperate with the treatment, I will still do my best, even if it means killing them!"

Nightingale continued to talk to herself, but Abigail's purpose was indeed conveyed.

"Berserker, go on!"

Abigail threw a weapon at this moment, and Nightingale caught it steadily.

"Thank you, this will allow us to subdue the wounded faster!"

Nightingale waved his new weapon casually, treating it like a scalpel.

But when Cu Chulainn saw the weapon, his face turned unhappy.

It was a somewhat strange sword with a spiral blade, like a drill.

That is Caladbolg, also known as the Rainbow Sword and the most well-known Spiral Sword. According to legend, it is the magic sword held by Cu Chulainn's adoptive father, Fergus ma'Roy, an Irish hero in Celtic mythology. This sword is also the prototype of many holy swords or magic swords in later generations.

This is a treasure that Cu Chulainn regards as his natural enemy, because if the user of the spiral sword is someone who has a connection with Ulster, then Cu Chulainn must bear the fate of being defeated by this sword again because of his promise.

Fortunately, neither Abigail nor Nightingale has much to do with Ulster, but the spiral sword still has a special attack effect on Cu Chulainn.

Nightingale's operation has not yet ended. The magic power in her body is still boiling, and she looks like she is about to unfold her treasure.

Chapter 170 Is there a problem with the mage's close combat?

"Are you going to use your Noble Phantasm right from the start?!"

Cu Chulainn cursed inwardly and began to prepare for defense or escape.

"Lancer, use the Command Seal to defeat Berserker with all your strength!"

Bazette also used the Command Seal to amplify Lancer.

"Destroy all poisonous and harmful things! Do my best to bring happiness to people!"

Nightingale sang, and as she sang, a huge human figure wearing a nurse's hat appeared behind her.

"[I will eradicate all poisons and all harmful things!]"

The human-shaped shadow holding the greatsword slashed downwards.

Cu Chulainn nimbly dodged the attack from the phantom, but subconsciously he felt that it was not that simple.

If the opponent's treasure was used for attack, its performance was too weak. It only made a single, ineffective attack before dissipating.

Then there must be other effects. If it is not an attack, then it must be a weakening effect.

Cu Chulainn's guess was not wrong. One of the effects of Nightingale's Noble Phantasm was indeed to greatly reduce the opponent's attack power, and even the power of the Noble Phantasm itself could be reduced.

After dodging Nightingale's attack with his Noble Phantasm, Cu Chulainn quickly approached with his swift movements.

Nightingale was not to be outdone. He waved the spiral sword in his right hand to block Cu Chulainn's spear, and then he saw the opportunity to clench his left hand into a fist and hit Cu Chulainn.

In terms of hand-to-hand combat, Cu Chulainn is better than Nightingale. After all, Nightingale is just a nurse at the end of the day. Even with the blessing of berserk, she cannot be compared with a legendary warrior like Cu Chulainn.

However, Nightingale was holding the Spiral Sword, a special attack weapon against Cu Chulainn. Although Nightingale could not unleash all the power of the Spiral Sword and could not release its true name to unleash the terrifying power to cut through mountains, Cu Chulainn still found it quite difficult to deal with. The gap in strength between the two was not so great that Cu Chulainn could completely ignore the special attack threat of the Spiral Sword.

Moreover, due to the problem of Cu Chulainn's left arm, although the influence of the left arm is almost non-existent, it is indeed not in perfect condition. This will also affect the battle against Nightingale to a certain extent. If he is hit by the spiral sword again, although he will not lose his combat ability directly, the situation will not be much better.

The flying snow was easily picked up and shattered by the aftermath of the battle between the two, adding a hazy feeling to the place.

After several rounds, Cu Chulainn confirmed another not-so-good news. Nightingale's previous Noble Phantasm not only had the effect of debuffing the enemy, but also greatly improved some of its own attributes.

In this case, even the [Piercing Deathly Thorn Spear] with the [Guaranteed Hit] attribute cannot consistently kill. As for the hit, the opponent should not be able to dodge, but the piercing attack is very likely to be ineffective.

Of course, these are just Cu Chulainn's [intuition]. Even though the [Piercing Death Thorn Spear] is a treasure that can reverse cause and effect, he does not seem to intend to use this treasure at the beginning.

The situation was briefly deadlocked during the confrontation between Spiral Sword and Gae Bolg.

While Nightingale and Cu Chulainn were fighting, Bazette was not idle either. In the duel between Servant, there is another way to win, that is to eliminate the Master. After all, in most cases, the Master is weaker than the Servant.

Although she looked like a little girl of only eleven or twelve years old, she was Caster, the Master of Berserker, so she could not be treated as an ordinary girl.

Even though the opponent was a Servant, he was of the Caster class and was not good at close combat, and Bazette was the executor of [Seal Designation] and was very good at dealing with magicians.

Bazette's sprint raised a cloud of snow, and in the blink of an eye he was less than a foot away from Abigail.

"I'm sorry, but you have to fall here."

Taking advantage of the momentum, Bazette threw a straight punch.

According to Bazette's expectations, this sudden punch would be enough to take out most magicians. Even Caster, a class with thin skin, would not be able to withstand this attack.

But the facts were beyond Bazette's expectations.

The moment she noticed Bazett approaching, Abigail changed her attire, quickly changing from her everyday green dress to a black dress with an orange and black bow, which was her combat attire.

Abigail then crossed her arms over and over, using her forearms to protect her chest to block Bazette's punch.

Due to the force of the impact, Abigail slid back several meters, leaving two scratches on the snow, but she was not hurt in the end.

"Ms. Bazette, please don't underestimate me~"
