Facing Cú Chulainn, she decided to act quickly, close the distance, and take advantage of the Saber class.

"Ha—!" Artoria and Cú Chulainn stood still, their weapons flashing rapidly, swords and spears clashing constantly, sparks flying everywhere.

In just a few seconds of close combat, the weapons of both sides had already clashed dozens of times.

Artoria's wielding of invisible energy forms an impenetrable shield, blocking all attacks from the spearmen. When facing Lancer, one must switch from defense to offense, as the weapon's length is at a disadvantage, and one cannot rush into an attack.

She used the unknown length and width of the weapon in her hand to make Cú Chulainn's defense somewhat painful.

"Hah—!" Artoria deflected the Death Thorn Spear with her sword, then thrust forward with her legs and waist, closing in on Cú Chulainn. She gripped Excalibur tightly with both hands, transferring all her strength into the sword, and slashed heavily at Lancer. The concrete ground beneath her feet shattered, creating a two-meter-wide crack.

Cú Chulainn shifted his feet backward, ceasing his attack. The Death Thorn Spear guarded the center gate, using the heavy blow to retreat and create distance, preventing the enemy in front of him from exploiting his advantage.

The next moment, the two sides charged at each other again and clashed.

This time, Cú Chulainn wouldn't have it so easy! Artoria had gotten used to his wild marksmanship and activated her intuition, predicting that Cú Chulainn's next move would be a straight thrust.

She bent down, flicked her sword upwards, shattering the ground and sending Cú Chulainn flying into the air, his feet leaving the ground. Then, an invisible sword grazed Cú Chulainn's cheek, severing the blue hair on his forehead.

Now that Cu Chulainn's feet are off the ground, he can no longer use the ground to adjust his posture and is instantly put on the defensive. His offensive spear, the Death Thorn, guards his chest and keeps blocking the fierce sword attacks in front of him.

Artoria, like a tiger descending from the mountain, relentlessly pursued her enemy, giving him no chance to breathe. She was currently about half a meter away from Cú Chulainn, a distance from which she could not attack the nearly three-meter-long Death Thorn Spear!

She had already calculated the attack range and shooting habits of the Lancer in front of her, and now was the perfect opportunity to press her advantage and kill him outright!

Unfortunately, the magical power within her body is extremely weak right now, and she is reluctant to use her precious magical power to release it here.

Otherwise, she would have already used her magic to quickly close the distance to Cú Chulainn and crushed the enemy in front of her.

Although Saber was difficult to deal with, Cu Chulainn was not without options. He finally created some distance, and the Death Thorn Spear came to his left hand. He continued to retreat while counterattacking with his spear techniques.

when--!

Artoria closed in again, unleashing another heavy slash that struck the Death Thorn Spear with brutal force. The crimson spear bent, and Cú Chulainn gritted his teeth, resisting the blow with all his might, using his legs and waist to withstand the powerful force.

He absolutely could not be sent flying by that sword again; once his feet left the ground, he would be finished.

He poured magical power into the Deaththorn Spear, and the spear tip exploded into the ground with crimson magical energy. Using the recoil from the outward release of the magical energy, he leaped into the air and flew away from the enemy.

The unfortunate Cú Chulainn and Artoria are now fighting using their own martial arts skills, and neither of their masters' magical power can match the magic power they are expending.

The Artoria who appears here is made of flesh and blood; the Counter Force has directly revived Artoria through an unknown method, manifesting her here.

Cú Chulainn is a spirit, a spirit constructed from magic.

Shirou Emiya stared in disbelief at the battle between the blonde girls in front of him. Even as a layman, he could tell that Saber was currently in the lead.

The mysterious man who nearly killed him twice is now no match for Saber!?

"Despicable scoundrel! What kind of skill is it to hide your weapon?!" Cú Chulainn shouted angrily. If he hadn't been unable to gauge the length of his opponent's weapon, he wouldn't have been in such a passive position.

Cú Chulainn did not engage the enemy in front of him, but kept retreating and increasing the distance, not giving the blonde woman in front of him a chance to get close to him.

"What's wrong, Lancer?" Artoria understood the situation. The lancer before her was strong, not a reckless fool. "Stopping your advance is unworthy of the name of a lancer. If you don't attack..."

If they come this way, then I'll attack.

"Before that, there's something I want to ask you. Your Noble Phantasm, is it a sword?"

"What could it be? It could be an axe, or a spear." Artoria looked at Cú Chulainn seriously, then joked lightly, "No, it could also be a bow and arrow, Lancer."

"Ha! Nonsense, you're just a swordsman." Cú Chulainn twirled the Death Thorn Spear, assuming a stance to use his Noble Phantasm, and the instructions from the Joyful Father followed.

"That stance..." Shirou Emiya recognized it. The stance that made the man in red look serious earlier... meant he was about to unleash a powerful attack!?

....................

Age of Gods Britain.

"What...!? This guy can actually fight Father to a standstill?? Waaah, how did Father get so much weaker!?" Mordred stared wide-eyed at his father on the screen in disbelief.

How come King Arthur's power, which could easily shatter mountains and sever rivers with a single sword strike, has now decreased by hundreds of times...?

Given Father's strength, even if he appeared in the body of a Heroic Spirit, with his power reduced by hundreds of times, he shouldn't have become this weak, right?!

With my father's almost precognitive intuition, no matter how fierce his marksmanship, he wouldn't be able to gain an advantage unless he broke through with his bare hands!

Unless they are powerful figures like Lü Bu, Guan Yu, and Xiang Yu, known for their strength, who can overpower others with sheer force, they will soon be found out by their father and killed.

My father's greatest skill was to defend first and then attack, seizing an opening to shatter the enemy.

"The King's power has indeed diminished considerably, but his skills from his lifetime are still functioning normally, so we need not worry. Moreover, this Lancer Cú Chulainn opposite us is also a powerful spearman, a formidable enemy. His power has also weakened considerably..."

Parvati couldn't help but recall the Berserker Cú Chulainn she had seen in the Deep Sea Cyber ​​Paradise—his ferocious power and regenerative abilities akin to those of an ancient dragon...

Presumably, Cú Chulainn wouldn't have been much weaker before the changes.

If Cú Chulainn were weak, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Queen Medb's army of thousands and escape the clutches of the goddess of death for so long.

However, he knew that in Mordred's heart, the strongest person in heaven and earth was our King Arthur.

"Eh—! There's nothing I can do. Shirou Emiya's magical power is so low that he can't even cast a power-enhancing spell. The magical power within an ordinary person is simply not enough to make our king do anything..." Gareth said helplessly, spreading his hands.

If Rin Tohsaka's Servant were Saber, that would be great. Although she's a bit of a scatterbrain and has a somewhat irritable personality, she's still very compatible with the calm and collected King.

Moreover, she wouldn't try to harm ordinary people like that foolish magician.

"According to the information I have gathered... the King's body is currently a manifestation of the magical power provided by the Holy Grail. The magical power within the King is currently only what the Holy Grail gave him. After forming a contract with Shirou Emiya, supplying magical power is now the Master's responsibility."

Agorvin was speechless, looking at the king in the picture with a heavy heart. Their king had really drawn the worst possible lot, how could he have been stuck with a master who had almost no magical power?

He estimated that King Arthur could only use his spiritual power and swordsmanship to fight now, and could not even exert one-tenth of his strength when he was alive. If it weren't for the high status of the king, he would have disappeared after one battle.

Knight Gawain of the Round Table smiled broadly. "Actually, judging from the current situation, it's not entirely bad luck for the King of this world to encounter Emiya. At least this young man is upright and brave. Everyone, you wouldn't want to see the King encounter Lancer's Master, or that Master who tries to kill ordinary people, would you?"

“That’s natural. If a master with ill intentions wanted to use Command Seals to order our king to do something that violates the code of chivalry…” Tristan opened his eyes and looked at the scene with a kind expression.

Upon hearing this, Lancelot, Galahad, Gareth, Gawain, Mordred, Agorvin, Percival, Tristan, Bedivere, Kay, and Geraint all had murderous intent flashing in their eyes, which turned crimson.

Anyone who dares to insult the King of the Round Table will be subject to their wrath, even at a heavy price, as they will forcefully descend upon Fuyuki City in the pan-human history to launch a war of annihilation.

Gareth's eyes sparkled as he watched the King's heroic figure in battle on the screen. "Cú Chulainn is quite clever! He was holding back when he fought the Heroic Spirit Emiya before, but now that he's faced the King, he's finally showing his true strength. Hmph! Holding back in front of the King will only lead to a terrible death."

When Cú Chulainn fought King Arthur, he no longer held back his strength. The mysterious swordsman in front of him went all out from the start, almost unleashing his Noble Phantasm.

He's following the foolish priest's orders to conserve his strength and go easy on others; if he does that, he's doomed.

Lancelot and Galahad remained silent, their expressions grave as they watched the battle unfold on the screen.

They believe that although the king currently has the advantage in close combat, it is very small... Cú Chulainn's Noble Phantasm has not yet been used, and the king's situation is still not very good.

They also did not know whether the king they had summoned was from a period of upheaval or a period of decline.

Cú Chulainn's master was at least a magician, and even if he was weak, the magical power he could provide was still greater than...

The current Shirou Emiya...

The King certainly doesn't want to use his Noble Phantasm, trump cards, or the five Servants waiting to be defeated. What if he uses his trump card here to kill Lancer Cú Chulainn, only to have new enemies join the battle? Wouldn't that just give someone else an easy advantage...?

The magical power that overflows after using a Noble Phantasm is so dazzling that even ordinary people can see it, let alone the Master.

"Ughhhhh! This Holy Grail War is so stupid! These foolish magicians dare to make us Heroic Spirits participate in this meaningless thing!" Mordred said angrily.

She now wants to go to Fuyuki City and kill these Masters one by one, and then destroy the Clock Tower and the Church that started the Holy Grail War.

Emiya Shirou in this world is too weak and useless, which makes her feel a bit disappointed. Since you are your father's master, you should at least be able to tear apart Servants with your bare hands.

This Holy Grail is useless. The power it summons from my father is so weak. How am I supposed to fight?

Under normal circumstances, the area within several kilometers of Shirou Emiya's house would have been razed to the ground long ago. It's outrageous that these foolish magicians are holding a Holy Grail War in the city.

Merlin, who was hiding to the side, watched Shirou Emiya and wanted to shout, "Heroes create!"

Emiya Shirou's gaze piqued Merlin's interest in raising him. What could be more interesting than raising a ally of justice?

Fou stood on Merlin's shoulder, licking her ice cream. "Fou... [Merlin, don't go and harm others.]"

Morgan LeFée whispered something in Artoria's ear that made her blush.

She looked at Shirou Emiya from another world with great interest; he was quite different from the Shirou Emiya who juggled five relationships.

12 Piercing Thorn Spear, Bazett's Doubt

Bless this beautiful world.

Axel, a city inhabited by novice adventurers.

Inside a grand medieval-style mansion, Megumin sits on a sofa, holding Tomosuke, and excitedly watches the scene unfold:

"Wow, so cool!! Although the surrounding buildings are intact, and although they are no match for me, the fighting moves were so gorgeous!"

She loved this kind of spectacular battle, watching the invisible sword clash with the crimson magic spear, and watching Artoria unleash sword techniques she couldn't understand at all. She felt incredibly cool.

"So Artoria is a knight! She's never worn armor before. Her profession is similar to Darkness's? Then the sword she's holding must be a knight's two-handed sword, right?" Aqua stared wide-eyed at Artoria, who exuded a holy aura.

She's already hatching a wicked plan. Such a powerful Heroic Spirit, if she could become her follower...!

Darkness watched the scene with embarrassment, seeing the battle between the Knight King and Cú Chulainn. She felt extremely ashamed, as her attacks were completely ineffective.

If she were to encounter Cú Chulainn, one could only expect a truly embarrassing and memorable scene.

Kazuma Sato stroked his chin, looking at the weapons in Cú Chulainn and Artoria's hands. "These are insane... these overpowered Servants. I wonder if my stealing ability can remove the weapons from their hands."

He imagined what he would do if he were fighting a Heroic Spirit.

Use water magic followed by ice magic, stealth skill followed by theft skill, and then finish off the enemy with a weapon when you get close.

No, no, these freakish heroic spirits could easily kill me even without weapons, in their bare hands.

Kazuma Sato remembered Gawain, who had bare-handedly ripped out Robin Hood's heart in the Deep Sea Computer Paradise... Gawain, who killed Elizabeth and Cú Chulainn with his bare hands, was too inhuman.

If we're going to make him fight these heroic spirits, then we'll have to switch to team battle mode, sacrificing ourselves to entangle the heroic spirits so that Megumin can unleash her explosive magic on him.

Tears streamed down Sato Kazuma's face. He knew that this was the only way he could fight these perverts—by trading his life for theirs.

However, Sato Kazuma is completely immune to Cú Chulainn's Death Thorn Spear. He has a luck stat even higher than Fujimura Taiga. If he is favored by a god, then he is favored by the goddess of fortune.

The Shining Hathaway Timeline.

"...Shirou Emiya's family background means he still needs to work?? Why? That's unbelievable! Cú Chulainn and Artoria's battle didn't even cause any complaints from the neighbors...no noise pollution or anything?"

Hasavi stared at the screen in bewilderment. Shirou Emiya's house was enormous; it occupied a third of the school's area.

Moreover, the people living in the surrounding houses didn't seem to react to the noise.

"Could it be that Cú Chulainn used magic to set up some kind of soundproof barrier? Since magic can shape a heart and make someone jump that high, eliminating sound shouldn't be difficult, right?" Kiki guessed.

"The Earth Federation and these magicians are cut from the same cloth. Equally shameless, equally indifferent to life, and equally disregardful of human beings."

Kaynas looked at the Federation's recently exposed operational plan in his hand. In order to recreate Amuro's miracle, the Federation actually sent a group of children who were the same age as Amuro and had not received much training to the threatening space battlefield.

Let them fight against... those Zeon remnants, those Zeon remnants are veterans who survived the brutal space battles.

The fate of these children is obvious; there is only one outcome—death.

"The world where Fujimaru Ritsuka is located will be the First Emperor."

The Emperor's decree for an eternal paradise is utterly foolish... I now feel that there is no hope left in my world..."

Kainas looked painfully at the azure sky outside the window. Although the sky was blue now, the atmosphere and ozone layer were almost unable to support human activities. Life on the planet was decreasing every day, and this beautiful planet was becoming uninhabitable for humans.

Instead of trying to improve the planet's environment, those selfish federal officials are driving these people into space, caring only about expelling them from Earth and not about their lives...

"Since we're meeting for the first time, let me ask you one more question." Cú Chulainn assumed a stance to unleash his Noble Phantasm, looking at the mysterious swordsman before him. "Don't you intend to stop here?"

“I refuse! You will be defeated by me here, Lancer.” Artoria was not going to miss the opportunity to kill Lancer here.

"...Is that so? I originally just wanted to observe and see."

Since that's the case, Cú Chulainn activated his Noble Phantasm without hesitation. Crimson magical power overflowed from his cursed spear, and his eyes turned ferocious.

Artoria Pendragon mentally visualizes the enemy's next attack and assumes a defensive stance. If she can block this attack, she will have a chance to kill Lancer.

"I'll take your heart!!"

Cú Chulainn stomped heavily on the ground, his legs sinking into the concrete, and hurled the Death Thorn Spear in his hand at Artoria. "Pierce—Death Thorn Spear!"

The long spear, emanating an aura of curse, underwent a transformation, its sturdy shaft connecting with a crimson causal line that intertwined with Artoria's heart.

Artoria saw the image of the Death Thorn Spear piercing her chest in her mind. She calmed herself, stood still, and swung her sword to block it. However, the Death Thorn Spear did not strike the sword but appeared on her other side. This outcome had already appeared in her mind and was foreseen in advance.

Artoria swiftly swung her sword to the right, shifting her body. The Death Thorn Spear transformed into a causal attack, striking the sword and deflecting its trajectory upwards. A bolt of red lightning pierced through Artoria's right shoulder and passed through her body, flying backwards. Her body was pulled directly into the air by this attack.
