Oh no, I really became Cao Mengde!

Moreover, she also tried to feel everything given by the nameless heroic spirit, but there was no information at all.

No matter how hard I try I can't feel anything.

"Is that so? Then why would the Master know that?" Tomoe Gozen became curious.

"What?" Mashu didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing." Tomoe Gozen smiled and shook his head, "Let me teach you the techniques of fighting. First of all, and this is a very important point, you need to change your habit of using weapons."

"You can't just use brute force. You have to learn to use the weight and shape of the weapon to attack."

"For example, the shield in your hand is big, heavy, and in the shape of a cross. So, after you use it to block the enemy's attack, what will happen if you use the longest side to fight back?"

Tomoe Gozen was indeed a soldier with rich combat experience. He quickly saw the advantages of the shield held by Mashu and quickly gave a practical fighting method.

"Oh! Is it really possible to do this?"

After receiving these experiences, Mashu showed a look of enlightenment. She didn't expect that her shield could be used in this way.

In fact, even without Tomoe Gozen's teaching, Mashu would have figured out such skills on her own after fighting more.

Tomoe Gozen simply saved Mashu the time of groping.

This is the role of a teacher.

Under the instruction of Tomoe Gozen, and combined with current actual combat, Mashu's combat ability improved rapidly, like riding a rocket.

What surprised Mashu even more was that she seemed to have some resonance with the shield!

Chapter 17 Do You Have the Courage? Mash

The battle was over quickly. With the combat power of the two servants, Mashu and Tomoe Gozen, it was not difficult to deal with a group of skeleton soldiers.

What's more, Cu Chulainn is here, it would be strange if he couldn't get rid of this group of miscellaneous soldiers.

In fact, even without Mashu and Cu Chulainn, Tomoe Gozen could have handled it all by herself.

“Thanks for your hard work!” Roman smiled. “There are no monsters around now. We can move on.”

"Come to think of it, Mashu's fighting skills are improving very quickly! That's amazing!"

Olga Marie said calmly, "How can it not be fast? With Tomoe Gozen, a servant with rich combat experience, teaching you step by step, and even in actual combat. As long as you are not a fool, you will naturally improve quickly."

"It's all thanks to Miss Tomoe's good teaching." Mashu heard that Olga Marie was praising her intelligence, and said it with some embarrassment, and bowed to Cao Mengde to thank him: "Thank you, Mr. Cao too."

She is not stupid and knows who the real key person is.

If Cao Mengde hadn't asked Ba Yuqian to help her, Ba Yuqian might not have taught her so carefully. It's likely that after seeing her fighting was very awkward, she would have given her some advice because of their current alliance.

"No need to thank me, I didn't teach you." Cao Mengde waved his hand with a smile.

Although he said so, he still liked Mashu's attitude.

Obviously Roman taught her well and she is quite smart.

Then, Cao Mengde asked, "Mashu, I just saw you suddenly look happy during the battle, what happened?"

"Yes!" Mashu nodded heavily, "Thanks to Miss Tomoe Gozen's teaching, I was able to feel some resonance between the weapon and me during the previous battle!"

In the battle just now, she could feel that the shield she was holding had become more flexible and easy to use!

It was then that she realized that she was now truly using the weapons and truly using everything of the nameless heroic spirit.

Instead of having no sense of reality like before.

"Mashu, you have resonated with the Noble Phantasm (weapon)?!" Olga Marie was a little happy, "Do you know the real name of the Noble Phantasm?!"

Knowing the true name of the Noble Phantasm means that Mashu's combat power can be raised to a higher level.

After all, a Noble Phantasm is a symbol of a heroic spirit, a weapon or ability that can be called proof of a hero, and a creation that is the product of their legends or heroic deeds.

Servants with Noble Phantasms and Servants without Noble Phantasms have completely different combat strengths. Even if a Servant only has a defensive Noble Phantasm, its role is much higher than that of a Servant without (unable to use) a Noble Phantasm.

A Servant without a Noble Phantasm can only be considered a creature slightly more powerful than a magician.

And now if Mashu could know the true name of the treasure, it would be extremely beneficial for future battles!

However, Mashu said ashamedly: "No, I just had some resonance, and I didn't get the true name of the treasure. Sorry!"

"Is that so?" To be honest, Olga Marie was a little disappointed, but she didn't show it. She just said, "No need to apologize, you didn't do anything wrong. You have resonated with the Noble Phantasm, which means this is a good start. Sooner or later, you will know the true name of the Noble Phantasm, and you will also know the true name of the Servant who gave you everything."

Gudako also said: "Mashu, you will definitely get everything from the nameless servant!"

"Ok!"

With the encouragement from the director and seniors, Mashu quickly got rid of her shame and showed a determined look.

She will try her best to feel herself and strive to know everything that the nameless heroic spirit has given her as soon as possible.

At this time, Cao Mengde said, "I have an idea about your treasure, Mashu. Do you want to listen to it?"

"Have an idea?" Mashu became curious when she heard that.

In her opinion, Cao Mengde is a very mysterious magician who seems to know a lot, although he has never admitted that he is a magician.

However, he did admit that he was Cao Cao, the heroic figure during the Three Kingdoms period. Mashu felt that what he said was true and there was no trace of lying.

With these two impressions, Mashu was very respectful to Cao Mengde and said seriously: "You say, I will listen carefully."

Except for Ba Yuzen, everyone else was also curious when they heard Cao Mengde's words.

Cu Chulainn couldn't help but smile and said, "You don't know which heroic spirit Mashu is possessed by, do you?"

"How is this possible?" Roman in Chaldea couldn't help but laugh. He picked up the coffee beside him and said, "We have a group of top talents and we can't tell which heroic spirit is attached to Mashu. How can Mr. Cao tell it?"

Olga Marie nodded in agreement.

Although Mashu is holding a very distinctive shield as a weapon, there are so many people in history who have used shields as weapons that it is impossible to guess who it is.

And the clothes she was wearing...well, hard to say.

However, Cao Mengde's next words made everyone unable to hold back.

He looked at Cu Chulainn and chuckled, "You guessed right, I actually know the true name of the heroic spirit that possessed Mashu."

"Puff!" Roman spat out the imported coffee he had just drunk.

Olga Marie was also shocked and lost her composure: "Ah?! You know the real name?!"

Cu Chulainn was stunned: "Is it true?"

No way, I was just joking, are you serious?

He himself couldn't tell which heroic spirit it was, so how did Cao Mengde figure it out?

Could it be that he has the same ability to see through real names as that saint?

"This..." Mashu was also stunned. After a few seconds, she reacted and said anxiously: "Mr. Cao, is everything you said true? Then can you, can you tell me--"

"No."

However, before Mashu could finish her words, Cao Mengde directly rejected Mashu's request.

This made Mashu stunned for a moment, and she blurted out: "Why?"

Roman wiped the spurted coffee with a towel and asked curiously, "Is there any unique reason?"

"It's not a unique reason." Cao Mengde explained, "I think Mashu's current state of uncertainty is very beneficial to her. Don't you think it's better to start from scratch and experience everything you have little by little, so that you can fully understand everything you have from the root, rather than knowing how to use these things and how to do them from the beginning?"

"I think this will be of great benefit to Mashu's growth. Isn't the resonance I sensed before a good proof of this?"

Cao Mengde's words made Mashu and others think deeply, and they soon understood what he meant.

The meaning was simple, he wanted Mashu to gain important growth, to allow Mashu to truly merge with the heroic spirit that possessed her, and to greatly enhance her own combat effectiveness.

Instead of letting Mashu know the true name of the possessed Heroic Spirit, she would gain everything from the Heroic Spirit at the cost of losing some of her growth potential.

Totally worth the loss.

"Mashu, you only need to know one thing." Cao Mengde said seriously, "The heroic spirit who gave you the spiritual foundation is a righteous and noble knight."

"If you want to perfectly inherit everything from him, then you need to fight with your own determination and courage. Your courage is the power you possess."

"As long as you have an unshakable heart, that shield can withstand all attacks in the world."

Listening to Cao Mengde's words, Mashu looked at the shield in her hand and a different emotion rose in her heart.

Fight with determination and courage?

As she thought about it, Mashu's eyes gradually became firm.

Chapter 18 Sudden attack!

On the way to the Holy Grail, Cao Mengde and his party encountered a group of skeleton soldiers and were clearing them out.

In fact, they encountered skeleton soldiers along the way and killed quite a few of them.

Only this time, it was a little strange.

"Why are there so many monsters?" Cu Chulainn quickly dealt with several skeleton soldiers who wanted to get close to Cao Mengde and his men, and said curiously, "Compared to before, the density seems to have increased a lot."

Although they had encountered skeleton soldiers before, there were only a few or a dozen of them. With the general Tomoe Gozen and the new recruit Mashu who just learned to fight, it was quite easy to deal with them.

Cu Chulainn didn't even need to take any action. He just let the two beautiful girls fight and he was happy to enjoy such a beautiful scene.

There is nothing better than watching beautiful girls fighting.

However, the number of skeleton soldiers they encountered now was as many as twenty, and some of them appeared when Tomoe Gozen and Mashu went up to fight.

This forced Cu Chulainn to give up his slacking thoughts and concentrate on dealing with the skeleton soldiers who suddenly appeared.

“It’s a bit strange indeed.” Roman said aloud, his hands moving constantly as he looked at the bunch of red dots appearing on the projected image. “But I didn’t notice anything else strange. It must be just a coincidence that we encountered so many monsters. After all, you’re now in a residential area in Fuyuki City, and it’s night time now, so it’s just right that a lot of monsters would appear here—watch out behind you!”

As he was speaking, Roman suddenly exclaimed. He found two red dots approaching Fujimaru Ritsuka and Olga Marie!

"Damn thing!"

Cu Chulainn's face changed and he became a little annoyed. He didn't even notice that there were other monsters approaching behind him!

This is simply an insult to him!

But facing these two sneak attacks from skeleton soldiers, Cu Chulainn couldn't use rune magic at such a close distance - he didn't have the skill [High-Speed ​​Divine Words], and couldn't cast spells quickly at a very close distance. He could only resort to close combat to block the enemy's attacks!

In other words, he has to use his gun skills!

However, Cu Chulainn could only deal with the skeleton soldiers who attacked his master, Gudako.

He didn't have time to deal with the skeleton soldiers attacking Olga Marie!

How could it be such a coincidence that two skeleton soldiers suddenly appeared that he had not noticed, and coincidentally attacked his Master and Olga Marie, two people from Chaldea? !

Damn it, there must be something wrong here!

Such a thought came into Cu Chulainn's mind.

When Olga Marie saw the skeleton soldier coming towards her with a knife, her mind stopped at that moment, her body froze in place, and she couldn't even dodge.

At this moment, she only had one thought: I don't want to die yet! I have just gained recognition from one person, and I need more recognition!

"No!" Olga Marie screamed in horror.

However, at this moment, a figure rushed past her and blocked her way.

clang!

A scarlet sword blocked the skeleton soldier's bone knife.

"Hmph, evil heretic!"

Olga Marie was stunned to see Cao Mengde using his sword that seemed to be soaked in blood to block the monster's attack. His eyes were full of anger and he exuded a domineering aura.

It’s like he’s become a different person!

I was stunned for a moment.

"die!"

Cao Mengde used force to deflect the enemy's bone knife, then used a little bit of the power brought by [Ghost Seed Demon C] to burn the Blood Cherry Sword and slashed it down quickly!

Gala!

A crescent of fire flashed by, and the skeleton soldiers were instantly chopped into pieces, scattered on the ground.

After taking a look around and finding no other threats, Cao Mengde turned his attention to Olga Marie and asked, "Are you okay?"
