Oh no, I really became Cao Mengde!

Then Altria closed her eyes again, and the cave returned to silence.

It was as if nothing had happened.

......

"What?! Hercules?!"

When Roman heard Cao Mengde's words, his voice was distorted with shock.

Olga Marie's expression also became very ugly.

"Hercules? I remember it was..." Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was not very good at history, began to ponder.

She felt that the name was very familiar, obviously she had heard of it before, but she couldn't remember the details.

But this is not her fault. After all, she is just an ordinary high school student who was pulled here to be a Master without even knowing what magic is.

Mashu answered immediately: "A great hero in Greek mythology! The most famous legend is the twelve trials that were initiated by his feud with the goddess Hera!"

After Mashu's reminder, Fujimaru Ritsuka finally realized, "Oh! It's him. I've heard of the story of the Twelve Trials! It's said that he was a superman of that era!"

Olga Marie bit her finger and said, "Hercules is not just a superman, he is the child born from the union of the main god Zeus and humans, which means he is also a demigod!"

"In the Holy Grail War, if someone summons a Divine Servant, he will definitely be beaten up by other Masters. Because having a Divine Servant means having victory."

"As a demigod-level Servant, even if Heracles appears as a Berserker, who is prone to going berserk and losing his mind, his combat power is extremely terrifying. It can be said that he crushed the entire Holy Grail War."

"If we face him..."

At this time, Roman's helpless voice interrupted: "The winning rate is not even half."

For a moment, a negative atmosphere spread among the Chaldeans, and even the somewhat careless Fujimaru Ritsuka was slightly affected.

Mashu was even more worried, looking at the shield she was holding with a worried look on her face.

"Berserker is actually a demigod-level Servant?" Tomoe Gozen became serious after hearing this. "Although it may be difficult to fight, but——"

She looked at Cao Mengde and said seriously: "If the Master wishes, I will defeat him with all my strength!"

His eyes revealed a fiery fighting spirit, as if they were about to burst into flames.

As expected of someone with demon blood, she is a natural fighter. If she were born in modern society, she would be a hot-tempered girl.

Cao Mengde couldn't help but smile and said, "There's no need to defeat him. We won't meet him anyway. If we do meet him, we can just run away. I can't bear to see you fighting to the death with such a dangerous Servant."

"What you said..." Tomoe Gozen blushed and laughed.

“Although I think there’s something wrong with your relationship, but—” Roman interrupted at an inopportune moment, “Mr. Cao, what do you mean by ‘we won’t meet’?”

"It means literally that we can't meet each other." Cao Mengde replied, "Although what Caster said is correct, he is wrong in one aspect."

"Oh?" Cuchulain raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "What did I say wrong?"

"It's about Saber controlling Berserker." Cao Mengde said calmly, "First of all, Berserker is very difficult to control. Apart from his own Master, anyone else who wants to control him will definitely have to pay a huge price."

"Besides, Saber's method of controlling people will drive them crazy, right?"

“In reality, that’s true.” Roman nodded.

He has measured the data of those shadow servants and indeed there are signs of frenzy.

"So what do you think will happen to Berserker, who was already in a frenzy state, if he is suddenly subjected to frenzy again?"

Cao Mengde said this with a smile, which was a little subtle.

Cu Chulainn and Roman thought of the correct answer almost immediately, and Olga Marie, who had some knowledge of magic, also got the answer after thinking about it.

Tomoe Gozen thought for a moment, tilted his head and said, "Will the frenzy become more severe and uncontrollable?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu nodded, they also agreed.

"On the contrary." Cao Mengde laughed, "It will directly cancel it out."

"Ah? Directly cancel it out?" Tomoe Gozen was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Wait, in this case, that means—"

"Berserker will wake up from his frenzy." Cu Chulainn gave the answer directly, and then laughed. "Although it may only be temporary, it will be enough to cause big trouble for those who want to control him. I didn't think of this."

Some of the settings in the Type-Moon world are sometimes quite counterintuitive, or completely different from what you understand.

For example, when ordinary people see the most well-known human evil, they will definitely think that human evil is actually the [malice born among humans].

In fact, all human evil is caused by love for human beings. It is just that this love is too heavy for human beings and is not understood by human beings, so it is human evil.

The same setting also exists in magic. In Type-Moon's magic, the effect of fake objects is stronger than the effect of real objects. It's quite counterintuitive, right?

But in fact, it is true. The true eye (false) can see through everything, but the true eye (true) can only obtain some information.

"So, we won't encounter Berserker, because Saber has difficulty controlling him. He should be wandering around a castle right now, guarding his Master. Even if she has disappeared."

Looking at Cao Mengde who was inexplicably sad, Roman said in surprise: "Mr. Cao, you seem to know a lot of things. Are you a great magician?"

"No, I'm just an ordinary person who knows a little bit of fighting." Cao Mengde answered honestly, "At most, I just have a very special identity."

A special identity is okay.

If what Cao Mengde said about his identity as Cao Cao is true, then it is not a special identity.

After a brief exchange of information, everyone decided on the target.

That is to find the Holy Grail and Saber, and see if the change happened there.

After that, Cu Chulainn chose Fujimaru Ritsuka as his temporary master and established a temporary contract. After the matter was resolved, he would disappear and return to his seat.

The reason why Cao Mengde was not chosen was very simple. It was obvious at first glance that Fujimaru Ritsuka was more reliable than Cao Mengde.

If he chose Cao Mengde, he always felt that he would do something like self-destruct.

If he had to choose, Cu Chulainn felt that the Archer with the devil's horns would not allow it.

After that, everyone set out together, led by Cu Chulainn, to find the Holy Grail.

But soon, they ran into trouble.

Chapter 16: Possessing the same blood as Tomoe

Cao Mengde and his companions didn't expect that just after leaving Dongmu Bridge and walking for a while, they encountered a group of skeleton soldiers.

"Can we go around it?" Cao Mengde asked Roman in Chaldea.

It's not like we're at war, so if we encounter an enemy we'll just go around them if we can.

Fighting is only necessary when there is really no way around it.

He, Cao Mengde, has never been a warlike person.

After using the spirit particle calculation device to scout, Roman said: "There is no way to go around, there is no other way around!"

Cao Mengde nodded: "It seems that we have no choice but to fight."

At this time, the skeleton soldiers also discovered Cao Mengde and his group. They rushed towards them with a crackling sound of bones, waving bone spears and bone knives in their hands.

Those holding bows and arrows simply drew their bows and aimed, then shot bone arrows one after another.

"Then fight them, they're just a bunch of skeletons." Cu Chulainn spun and swung his staff, knocking away all the bone arrows shot at him, and said eagerly.

This made Cao Mengde feel that he seemed to want to use the staff as a gun and then rush forward.

Why do all magicians like to engage in close combat? Wouldn't it be better to just cast some spells from behind?

"Don't go up, just stay back and protect us and your master." Cao Mengde said helplessly.

"I don't want to fight him." Cu Chulainn laughed, "I am a magician now."

Bullshit, you actually wanted to go up and hit me!

Mashu stood up, holding up a shield to block all the bone arrows, and said seriously: "Master, please give me instructions!"

It seems that she has gradually gotten used to her identity as a combatant.

Gudako also began to adapt to her role as the Master and ordered: "Mashu, defeat the enemy!"

"Yes!"

Mashu responded and rushed forward, swinging her shield to knock a skeleton soldier with a knife away.

The force was so great that it broke the skeleton soldier into pieces and sent it flying into the air.

At this time, Ba Yuzen looked at Cao Mengde and said with a smile: "Master, what are your instructions?"

"Well, you should go and fight too." Cao Mengde glanced at Mashu, whose movements were a little awkward, "But you have to take care of Mashu and teach her how to fight. And by the way, tell her... forget it, that would be a bit of a hasty move, so just teach her how to fight."

"Yes. Her fighting skills are definitely lacking."

"By the way, there's one more thing."

"Ok?"

"Don't get hurt, it doesn't look good."

"it is good."

Tomoe Gozen responded with a smile as beautiful as a flower.

【Tomoe Gozen's favorability increased by 5 points.】

[The current favorability is 90 points. ]

[The relationship changes from "love" to "obsession."]

[Achieve the stage reward requirements and obtain the skill "Bloodline Stimulation B" from Tomoe Gozen. ]

Cao Mengde also smiled back.

It seems that once the favorability is high, it will become very easy to increase it later.

However, this experience may only be useful for certain servants. Some servants may be more difficult to deal with if they have high favorability, and it is difficult to increase their favorability.

"I have acquired the skill of Bloodline Stimulation so quickly, that's great!"

In this way, he can make full use of the skill [Demon of Ghost Seed] to a great extent.

To put it simply, you can become a Super Saiyan and increase your strength even more.

The mood is somewhat good.

I just don't know, after using this skill of blood stimulation, will I become like Tomoe Gozen, with red eyes and horns on my head.

Although he looked quite handsome, Cao Mengde didn't want to grow horns, as he felt it was weird.

It's okay for others, but I can't really adapt to it.

Could this be influenced by Cao Cao?

[Please rest assured, host, you can freely adjust the appearance changes brought about by changing skills. 】

At this moment, the system suddenly popped up to explain.

"Oh! I can adjust it freely!" Cao Mengde was even happier. "Then don't show the ghost horn, and keep the others."

In this way, when he uses [Bloodline Stimulation B], his hair may turn white, his eyes may turn red, but he may not have any demon horns.

It seems quite handsome just thinking about it.

On the battlefield.

Mashu was fighting with several skeleton soldiers.

Facing the enemy's attack, Mashu recklessly used her strength to suppress her opponent and knocked the enemy away head-on.

After two or three times, you can see some signs of fatigue, and the strength is not as strong as before.

When Tomoe Gozen saw this, he killed all the skeleton soldiers around Mashu with his naginata and said, "Mashu, you can't just use brute force to attack the enemy in battle, unless you are a Berserker."

"Ms. Tomoe Gozen?" Mashu was a little surprised to see Tomoe Gozen coming to help her.

"Master, let me teach you some combat experience." Tomoe Gozen said with a faint smile, then threw away the naginata in his hand, transformed it into a longbow and aimed at the skeleton soldiers who were shooting arrows in the distance.

Once an arrow is shot, it leaves a trail of fire like a meteor, quickly hitting the target and blasting it into ash.

"I heard from them that you accepted everything from other servants and became a sub-servant. You don't even know the true name of the servant, the Noble Phantasm, or anything else?"

"Yes." Talking about this, Mashu felt a little depressed.

All of his previous battles were fought relying on his superior physical fitness as a Servant, without using any of his Servant's abilities or skills.

If he had known the servants' true names and treasures, he wouldn't have been so embarrassed in the previous battle against the two shadow servants, to the point where he needed others to rescue him.
