Chapter 184: Battle with Scathach

Scathach, Cu Chulainn's teacher and the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, was looking at the man who called himself a magician in front of her, and she couldn't help but reveal the attitude of a teacher looking at a student again.

Maybe it’s because the other person is too young, not like a mature man. Even if he is a mature man, how can his age and life experience be compared to yours?

Perhaps because of this reason, although she was holding a spear, she was like a teacher, waiting for the other party to attack first.

Morpheus did not use the power of the angel necklace, he wanted to keep this power. The symbols of the four elements of earth, wind, water and fire appeared around Morpheus, and the scepter was in his hand again.

He said calmly, "Han Jiagan."

Scathach's heart tightened, and her muscle reflex, which had been formed through countless battles, made her dodge to the left involuntarily. She saw a sharp stone appear where she had just stood. The stone drilled out directly from the ground, as if it wanted to penetrate everything!

"Magic that controls the earth? There's almost no warning. If I weren't so experienced, this attack alone would have hit me. But it's not that easy to penetrate my defenses."

Scathach made a secret judgment in her heart, exerted force with her feet, and rushed out at an extremely fast speed in an instant.

"If this is all you know, it won't be that easy to deal with me!"

She was extremely fast and rushed in front of Morpheus in the blink of an eye, but what she didn't expect was that Morpheus was not surprised at all, but raised his hand instead.

It was clearly a wooden scepter, but at this moment it blocked the spear in her hand. At the same time, a spark appeared due to the impact where the scepter came into contact.

"Wengagan." Morpheus said with a smile.

As he spoke, the spark instantly expanded and turned into an orange light. A flame appeared and rolled towards Scathach like a fire snake, burning the surrounding air and surrounding Scathach!

Scathach quickly waved her spear to block all the surrounding flames, and at the same time jumped up and jumped out from the gap above that had not yet closed.

However, the flame did not disappear, but continued to coil towards her like a living snake!

It may not seem like much, but it is so strong and tenacious that it cannot be broken apart by ordinary attacks.

Scathach couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise. She activated the magic power in her body, poured it into the spear in her hand, and struck out fiercely.

"boom!"

This time, the flames finally dissipated and no longer chased her.

"It seems that your magic is not just magic that controls the earth. It's not based on the four elements, right?" Scathach did not rush to attack, but asked.

"As expected of the Queen of Shadow Country, you saw through my basic magic right away." Morpheus smiled and uttered the words of attack again, "Warm and humid."

The air was compressed into a transparent blade, which cut through everything in front of it at an extremely fast speed and attacked Scathach again!

Scathach dodged quickly, and the wind blade flew past her and hit the ground, leaving a deep mark on the ground!

"It seems those four items are your ceremonial attire. The scepter corresponds to fire, the dagger to wind, the green plate to earth, right? As for the remaining blue cup, does it correspond to water?"

"That's right." Morpheus didn't deny it. He just looked at him and said, "Well, now that you know the basics of my magic, can we start fighting seriously?"

"You don't seem to be trying to hide your moves?"

"No need, these are just very basic things, anyone with some relevant knowledge can see it." Morpheus said, and the techniques around him began to exert their power, allowing his physical strength to continue to increase. At this moment, he assumed a fighting posture.

"Then I'm going to be serious from now on!"

"Seriously?" Scathach smiled when she heard Morpheus' words, "Come on!"

Then, she was surprised to see Morpheus' body breaking the speed of sound in an instant and rushing towards her in the exploding wave!

"boom!"

It was a pure battle of strength. Scathach used her spear to block the stick that was thrown down by Morpheus. Feeling the power of the blow and the wailing of the ground beneath her feet, she became more and more surprised.

For a human being to be able to display such powerful physical strength is exaggerated even with the enhancement of magic.

Even compared to the heroes of the Age of Gods who were famous for their strength, this power does not seem weak!

Moreover, the opponent this time is not just a warrior, but also a sorcerer who can use magic, or sorcery!

"Oh!"

Flames appeared again from the place where the scepter and the spear collided, turning into an exploding ball of light. The scorching flames burned everything around them, and instantly turned all the grass and trees here into ashes!

Runes appeared around Scathach, blocking the attack. She also raised her gun to fight back. The gun shot out like a dragon, like a red meteor, stabbing towards Morpheus!

Morpheus dodged, and several wind blades emerged from his side and rushed towards Scathach again!

This time, Scathach failed to dodge, and three wind blades hit her flesh. The runes appeared again, blocking these attacks, but also knocked her back a few steps.

Just as Scathach was beaten back and had not yet regained her position, the ground rose up and several spikes shot out from the ground towards Scathach!

Seeing this, Scathach jumped up and tried to avoid the attacks, but what she didn't expect was that these spikes actually flew up from the ground like cannonballs and attacked her in mid-air!

Scathach, who was in mid-air, found it difficult to dodge at this time. She immediately drew her gun again and blocked the attacking stone spikes at an extremely fast speed. However, along with the stone spikes, there were also several water blades!

There were numerous water blades and stone spikes, and they were moving at an extremely fast speed. Scathach kept intercepting them. At this moment, she suddenly felt a warning in her heart, but it was already too late to hide. She felt something hit her from behind, breaking the protection around her body. An orange light appeared in front of her and turned into an explosion of fire!

"boom!"

In the explosion, Scathach only felt that she was enveloped by violent high temperature. The horrible impact hit her body at this moment, blowing her directly from a high altitude to the ground.

She was beaten so badly that she was covered in dirt.

Scathach looked at Morpheus, who had stopped, and asked, "Did you deliberately use the stone spikes to force me into the air?"

"No, no matter how you respond, I will have a way to deal with it." Morpheus said, "After you fly, my attacks will be based on your own choices."

"You used water blades and stone spikes to constantly disrupt me, exhausting my ability to cope. Then you attacked me from behind with wind blades, breaking my protective spell that had already blocked several of your attacks. Then you used fire spells to injure me."

Morpheus said nothing, just watched the other party analyze.

Scathach asked, "But why don't you continue to attack? Although your spells have many combinations, they still can't cause enough damage to me. If you only have this much strength, you can't deal with Cu Chulainn now.

"Actually, after breaking my defense just now, I was able to take advantage of the gap in the explosion and attack me with my own strength. The power displayed by your body is much stronger than your technique."

"This power needs to be demonstrated bit by bit. I just showed my basics. So, how about trying this next?" Morpheus smiled and took out a sword.

This sword is not Durandal, but the Sword of Ares.

Looking at the weapon Morpheus took out, Scathach's eyes flashed with surprise.

"This is a very powerful Noble Phantasm!"

"Ares gave it to me. I like it very much." Morpheus waved the dagger lightly, "Come again!"

This time, without using elemental magic, Morpheus relied purely on spells to strengthen his body. He rushed to Scathach at an extremely fast speed. Facing Morpheus's attack, Scathach immediately responded.

The collision of spear and sword caused the air to explode, creating a momentary vacuum!

At this moment, Morpheus showed his experience in close combat with cold weapons. Even when facing the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows, he was not afraid and fought with her.

The air was filled with explosions, various holes kept appearing on the ground, and figures kept moving, even so fast that they left afterimages!

Scathach was very excited at this moment. Every collision made her extremely happy. At this moment, the power displayed by the young man named Morpheus was much stronger than before. At this moment, the power displayed by the other party was no worse than her own!

He released his strength to the fullest and displayed his skills. He continued to swing his gun and sword, and streaks of cold light flashed across this already devastated place. They were like green and red lights, constantly twisting and clashing!

Finally, with a slight sound, the red spear was pressed to the ground by a foot, and the cyan dagger pointed at Scathach's neck. Morpheus smiled and looked at the queen: "I win."

The defense has already been penetrated. As long as the sword goes one step further, it will pierce the skin, muscles, and bones!

Scathach felt the coldness coming from the sword, but she was not afraid. Instead, she laughed.

"You are very powerful, but if your strength is limited to this level, then it will still be difficult to deal with Cu Chulainn." Scathach said, "But at least you are qualified to fight him now."

"Don't worry, this isn't my full strength. If I exert my full strength, it will probably increase several times, or even dozens of times."

Scathach opened her mouth slightly when she heard Morpheus' words, and finally smiled: "Really?"

"I was the main force in killing Typhon. I think this answer is sufficient."

Scathach was well aware of Typhon's power. When she heard him say this, she had to admit that the man in front of her was indeed qualified to challenge the current Cu Chulainn and to save this era.

Then she put away her weapons and said, "Cuchulainn is now king, but he has lost everything except the king."

"What do you mean?"

"He was summoned by the Holy Grail. The one who summoned him was Maeve." Scathach said helplessly, "Maeve used the Holy Grail to interfere with Cu Chulainn, allowing him to become king and gain greater power, but also causing him to lose his own nature."

At this point, she asked again: "Do you want me to help you?"

Morpheus shook his head: "No need, I saw that when you said you would solve it yourself, something like destroying this era, there was always a feeling of unwillingness, as if you were forcing yourself. Since you feel that this kind of thing is forcing yourself, then there is no need to take action. After all, I am here now.

"Besides, I'm a human being. It's reasonable for me to save humanity."

Scathach was slightly stunned. She was surprised that her heart was seen through, but then she shook her head: "It's not that I don't want to, but... I no longer belong to this world. The Shadow Kingdom and I have already separated from the world, as independent as gods. If I take action, wouldn't that deprive you of the opportunity to save yourselves?"

Morpheus chuckled, "Yes, you are a good teacher. Now that it has been confirmed that it was caused by Cu Chulainn and Maeve, I won't waste my time. See you later!"

"In the future?"

"Click!" With the sound of a snapshot, Morpheus shook the camera in his hand: "Of course, I will try to summon it."

Looking at Morpheus who was leaving after taking the photo, Scathach smiled.

"If it's him, a powerful human, he might actually be able to kill me in battle... and then my wish would come true!"

After leaving Scathach, Morpheus continued to move forward quickly.

At the same time, he was recalling what Scathach said, or the information.

"Maeve, the Queen of Connacht in Irish mythology, once led her soldiers to attack Ulster and even took part in the battle herself, bearing weapons.

"And this woman was a notorious sea king. She had several husbands and demanded three things from her husband: one, no fear; two, no stinginess; three, no jealousy. The first two are fine, but the third is a bit more difficult... Anyway, she ended up being killed in the swimming pool by her own nephew, who hit her with cheese.

"Come to think of it, does what I know about Maeve in the Type-Moon world is the same as what I know?"

Morpheus fell into deep thought. He found that his biggest problem in the Type-Moon world was not his lack of understanding of the ancient times, but the discrepancy between his own knowledge and the various magical modifications of this damn world.

This difference stems from the self-satisfaction of Mushroom and a group of writers, which has caused huge deviations in many places, forcing him to consider more factors and consume more brain cells.

Finally, Morpheus gave up thinking.

"Forget it, just fight and it's over. My super wisdom tells me that now is the time to use super force!"

Chapter 185 Arjuna

When Fujimaru Ritsuka, Mashu and Black Jeanne went to the place where the third-party force was located, they met other people.

A flat-chested loli with purple hair and a book in her hand stopped in front of the group and looked at them with a puzzled look.

"Servants? Two of them at that. Where are you from?"

Mashu looked at the woman who suddenly appeared and immediately showed a look of vigilance. Black Jeanne d'Arc stood there, not nervous, just watching.

Fujimaru Ritsuka was not nervous either. At this moment, there were not just two servants here, but actually three of his own servants!

Because Jack Loli, who possesses the ability to assassinate, had already hidden himself and had never taken action.

Conceal your own breath to prevent being discovered, and take action at the critical moment. This is the correct way to use Jack Loli.

Mashu, the usual diplomat, asked, "You are also a Servant, right? May I ask who you are?"

"Aren't you going to answer me first? But it doesn't matter. I'm from the United States of the American West. My name is Helena Petrovna Blavatsky. Although Madame Blavatsky is more famous in the world, it's really annoying that I have to change my last name after getting married."

The girl said this with a look of distress on her face.

This caused Roman, who was inside the communicator, to exclaim in surprise, "Helena Blavatsky?! The most iconic female occultist of the 19th century! She had nothing to do with the Magic Association, but was a brilliant woman who, through her own perspective and strength, compiled occult knowledge—but since she's here as a Servant, could she be an agent of the Magic Association?"

Helena Blavatsky immediately protested this sudden statement: "No way! Frankly, in this world, all major nations except America have been destroyed!"

Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately asked, "Who do you serve?"

"Oh, are you the Master this time? But what a shame, we already have a Master, the King. If he conquers the world, there won't be any problems. I'm afraid it will become a lost continent separated from another dimension, wandering forever, like something like the Throne of Heroes. Don't you think that ending can actually be considered a kind of redemption?"

Listening to the other party's answer, Fujimaru Ritsuka recalled what Morpheus said, saying that this place is now ruled by a servant named Edison, which made Fujimaru Ritsuka shake his head.

"It's really ironic that the United States now has a dictatorial king."

Another person also directly denied this possibility.

“Impossible,” Roman said. “You’re wrong.”

"Wrong?" Helena Blavatsky was puzzled by the voice that appeared again. "Where is the evidence?"

"The destruction of human principles will destroy human history, and you, who exist solely for human history, will naturally be destroyed as well. Even if you were to leave this world, the result would be the same. You haven't been destroyed yet simply because the time hasn't come yet. The explosives you put into the bridge are meant to collapse it, and when the time comes, you will naturally destroy yourself."

Roman's words startled Helena Blavatsky. She narrowed her eyes slightly. "What on earth do you know? How did you come to such a conclusion?"

"The mastermind behind this incident doesn't have the ultimate goal of destroying human history; that's merely a byproduct. Once his goal is achieved, everything, including the Throne of Heroes, will be wiped out. This very continent, including yours, will also be destroyed due to the collateral damage."

"What is the purpose?!"
