Or, why don’t you find another savior?

The tornado swirled and gathered, dispersing the smoke and revealing a dark and ominous figure within.

The body of Mad King Cu Chulainn was wrapped by the body of the Demon Pillar, but unlike Machiri in the fourth singularity, he did not completely transform into the Demon Pillar. Instead, he transformed the Demon Pillar into armor wrapped around his body like the Red Spear.

The eyes of the demon pillar on the wrapped head were trembling slightly.

"This is..." Xi Jian raised his wand and stared at the Mad King's current form.

"One of the seventy-two demons, Harpas, no..." Cu Chulainn whispered, "Demon, the Beast of Crushing Death Fangs."

The Death-Crushing Beast is another treasure of the Mad King Cu Chulainn.

The exoskeleton of the red sea monster, the sea beast Krued, which was used to make the red spear, was temporarily materialized and worn as armor, an offensive bone armor equipment.

In the battle in Washington, the Mad King used this Noble Phantasm to break through Scathach's Noble Phantasm Gate.

And now, Cu Chulainn used the power of the Holy Grail to use the demon god Harpas and the red spear to activate the "Beast of Crushing Death Fangs", and transformed himself into a new demon god -

"The reactions of Cu Chulainn and the Demon Pillar have merged..." Romani exclaimed, "That's not the amount of magic power that an individual of this size can control!"

Shiomi twirled her wand slightly, "It shouldn't be strange that he has the power of the Holy Grail and a personality that is like an empty shell."

But the problems were far more than that. The demon incarnated by Cu Chulainn brought tremendous pressure and panic to the American soldiers who had torn the southern Celtic army into pieces with just a glance.

Shiomi caught a glimpse of the soldiers retreating instinctively from the corner of his eye and understood very well.

This fear of original things, which is almost engraved in human genetics, is definitely not something that ordinary people can resist.

Even a heroic spirit needs to overcome this feeling.

As long as it exists here, the demon will bring fear like mental pollution to those who see it.

But strangely, Shiomi found that she was not afraid.

It seemed as if he had already encountered an existence far superior to this at some point, and that feeling of fear had long been overcome by him.

The split second gave the demon a chance to attack, and the four eyes on the helmet-like part lit up.

A huge explosion occurred under Shiomi's feet, leaving several large pits in the desolate land.

However, the real target that should have been torn apart by the explosion and light has disappeared.

The demon raised his head and saw Shiomi appear in mid-air.

"Sorry, I've seen this move before." Xi Jian waved his wand, and the runes formed a concise and clear spell in the air. "If you want to kill me, at least come up with something new!"

From the four spells formed by those runes, four giant flaming dragons roared out, opened their bloody mouths, and swooped down towards the demon.

Sharp, fierce and swift.

The attack range was too wide, even the demon god could not completely open it up, so he decisively chose to hug his arms to defend himself.

The blazing flames burned the armor made of the demon god Harpas, and the parts not covered by the armor kept repeating the process of burning and healing.

The eyes on the armors moved irregularly, capturing the movements around them at all times. The flames of Rune magic were not enough to disable the functions of these eyes that had obtained the power of the Holy Grail.

Finally, when the flames dissipated, an eye caught the shadow of the demon in the blind spot.

The huge claw swung out and hit Shiomi's wand.

Right in the middle.

The demon turned its tail and stabbed at Shiomi from the side at high speed.

However, the opponent used the same trick again. The extremely cold magic power spread rapidly, and the solid ice froze the demonized body of Cu Chulainn again. The tail that was strong enough to pierce through Shiomi's neck solidified at the moment before it was about to be released to the skin.

At this time, the eyes under the ice saw something even more troublesome.

Xijian deliberately engaged in close combat in order to block the demon's movements and then let the sharp blades that had been waiting around fall.

The demon god, who had not lost all his rationality, also guessed that Shiomi would deliberately get closer again to lure the enemy and create an opportunity for his prepared magic.

So there is only one answer, give up defense and launch a counterattack, and never just passively take the beating.

The demon's arm broke free from the ice and was raised high.

"Full Curse Blazing Spear, Burn madly, Beast of Death Fang."

Countless red spears emerged from the demon's body, spreading out densely, taking advantage of the gap when Shiomi was about to retreat and piercing his entire body.

The bloody Shiomi flew out along with the exploding ice, but the frost blade that had lost its stagnation also flew towards Cu Chulainn's body, ignoring the sharp and cursed thorns, and caused a series of explosions after hitting the demon.

The followers, the soldiers far away on the central front, also felt the storm howling from the south.

The wasteland, which was originally desolate with only sparse and scattered vegetation, is now completely covered with frost. On top of the frost, there are spots of blood, dyeing the pure white into bright red.

As long as you take half a step here, you can smell the nauseating smell of blood.

Then, Shiomi fell on the ice, and the Mad King, who had transformed into a demon god, stood in the distance. All the blood in this area was shed by both sides.

The pair of magic spears were inserted a hundred meters away from him.

Xijian just took a glance, turned over, grabbed the wand at hand, and slowly stood up.

At this moment, the Demon God fell to his knees with a thud. There were countless holes in the broken Demon God Pillar armor, and blood was oozing from them. His condition was not much better than Xi Jian's.

Although Shiomi seemed to be in a mess because he was caught off guard, he actually had the advantage at this moment.

Power and the Holy Grail.

Both parties were constantly healing their wounds. Shiomi felt that he was more familiar with this incomplete power than last time. He lowered his consciousness slightly and could clearly distinguish the depth, size, and degree of the curse of each wound.

The body recovered too quickly, causing smoke to rise from Shiomi's body, and making a sound like a bonfire being extinguished by water.

He raised his wand and pointed it at Cu Chulainn, whose recovery speed was slower than his.

The runes gradually lit up and formed a circle in front of the wand.

Chapter 75: Death

"A treasure?"

The demon raised his head and spoke in a low voice.

"It's not a Noble Phantasm, it's just a magic that attempts to touch the illusion of a Noble Phantasm." Shiomi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Really? Then..." The demon raised his head and could only see the glowing eyes on the helmets. "Nothing to be afraid of."

He stared, then shot out a laser that could burn and melt everything, but it was blocked by the protective spell formed by the original rune.

An attack of this level can only be considered a test and is not sufficient as a means of counterattack.

Fierce noises were heard from the northern front. The twenty-eight demon pillars summoned by Maeve were facing an attack from their master and the heroic spirits.

Even though each pillar has enough power to rival a Heroic Spirit, they are still somewhat insufficient in front of a Heroic Spirit with a strong will.

"On the northern front, half of the Demon Pillars have been destroyed." Morgan's voice came from Chaldea, "Don't worry, my husband."

"Really... every time I hear your voice, I feel at ease." Shiomi was slightly distracted.

Before he could finish his words, the demon rushed over.

He fired "Reaching the Ultimate Fantasy", but the opponent blocked it.

After activating "Death-Gnawing Beast", Cu Chulainn's durability will rise to EX. Now with the power of the Holy Grail and the power of the Demon, he can charge forward against the torrent of magic power in this magical attack that is no less powerful than the normal release of the Knight King's Noble Phantasm.

But this was not without cost. As he advanced with difficulty, the demon armor on his body peeled off bit by bit, revealing the body and muscles underneath.

Shiomi really wanted to further increase the scale of her magic, but from the beginning of the war until now, she first fought against Finn and Diarmuid, and then relied on the flaws to forcibly break Maeve's Noble Phantasm from the inside.

Without even having time to catch his breath, he fought a desperate battle with Cu Chulainn, continuously unleashing high-level rune magic.

Even with the enormous magical power, it is almost reaching its limit.

Finally, when Cu Chulainn came close with his treasure, the demon's armor was peeled off, his face and upper body were exposed, and even his claws were broken, Shiomi's magic stopped abruptly.

Both sides were panting heavily and had reached their limits.

The moment their eyes met, they threw punches almost at the same time.

At the same time as his straight punch hit Shiomi, his hook also hit Cu Chulainn's liver accurately.

The impact caused both of them to take half a step back.

Next, the battle turned into a most primitive brawl, with no treasures or magic, and only relying on the most primitive and purest combat skills and instinctive confrontation.

The cheeks, throat, abdomen, all parts that could render the opponent powerless, all felt the taste of the hard fists.

"It's so annoying... even more exaggerated than the master..." Cu Chulainn said in a low and intermittent voice, as if he was sighing.

"It has nothing to do with my master or my responsibility to Chaldea... I will defeat you! I will deny you! Mad King!"

Shiomi gritted his teeth, dodged the oncoming fist, and hit Cu Chulainn on the chin with an uppercut, knocking him out.

Even at the end of his strength, Cu Chulainn's fist should have been enough to smash a human's head directly, but Shiomi was completely unharmed.

Similarly, if Shiomi's fist landed on a human, it would be enough to crush the internal organs and bones in the body, turning it into minced meat.

Even if a first-rate servant took such a punch, he would not feel good.

But the two men, who came from the same school, remained standing and continued to deliver one punch after another.

Originally just an incarnation of Maeve's wish, a being summoned by her, Cu Chulainn could not feel anything. He became a king first and then decided the reason for becoming a king.

As a hero, all his memories of his past and life were sealed up. Even if he knew them, it would be the same as looking at someone else's records.

But with the disappearance of Maeve, and the depletion of the power of the Holy Grail and the Demon Pillar.

Some memories that should not have existed in this Cu Chulainn were awakened again, along with... memories of his time as a Servant that could not be carried by a Heroic Spirit or a Realm Recorder.

He knew the man in front of him.

He lived in a distant era two thousand years later, but he was from the same school as him and had learned the master's teachings more deeply than him. He was the only person who could be called the master's beloved.

The joy of fighting, the boiling blood, the indomitable will.

These things that did not belong to the Mad King Cu Chulainn were waking up little by little.

Obviously, as long as he retreated immediately and relied on the power of the Holy Grail, he could clean up this singularity again.

But it is no longer necessary.

There are only two fighters here.

A blow with all your strength.

Cu Chulainn hit Shiomi in the abdomen, and Shiomi pierced Cu Chulainn's chest.

The two sides were deadlocked there.

Then Cu Chulainn's hands dropped limply.

"...The spirit core can no longer hold on..." he said.

Xi Jian didn't raise his eyes, just looked at the blood on the ground: "Your tone has become similar to before. As expected, once Maeve dies... you will start to deny your current self uncontrollably..."

"Magicians are all so unpleasant... They have to speak out what they have seen through..." Cu Chulainn stood there, staring at Shiomi.

"Hehe..." Xijian let out a low laugh.

Cu Chulainn grinned, looking very satisfied. "It was a really enjoyable battle. This time there was no one like the Magic King to mess things up..."

Shiomi looked at Cu Chulainn without saying a word, and the other party's body became transparent and gradually disappeared.

Above the ground where he disappeared, a golden double pyramid was suspended. It was the holy grail of this singularity.

"Now, the Holy Grail recovery work begins..."

As he activated the magic circuit as usual, Shiomi felt a sense of exhaustion and his feet slipped, falling backwards.

"You did a great job. I am proud to have you as my disciple."

Scathach hugged him and used her magic to help him recover the Holy Grail.

"Master..."

Xijian wanted to ask what happened to the Twenty-Eight Demon Gods, but when he looked around, he saw the servants of the Northern Army and the Central Army standing on the ups and downs of the battlefield, looking at him with approval.

"Take a good rest. There is still some time before the human calculation of the singularity. Recover first and then transfer the soul." Scathach said.

"I have done what my master has given me."

"No need to explain, I saw it, everyone saw it."

The Demon Pillars were destroyed before Cu Chulainn, and the Servants immediately rushed south to support Shiomi, but they saw a pure and primitive hand-to-hand combat.

That was not a battle they could intervene in, and all the heroic spirits witnessed Shiomi's battle with respect.
