Oh no, I really became Cao Mengde!

"Fine!"

So Cu Chulainn sighed helplessly, picked up Mashu with one hand, waved his staff with his right hand, drew a rune, and hit it into Tomoe Gozen's body.

In an instant, Tomoe Gozen could feel that his eyesight had greatly improved. Everything around him became extremely clear and he could see the surface of all objects clearly.

Then, Tomoe Gozen looked up in the direction where the attack was coming from, and his eyes instantly saw through everything, and he kept searching forward for Archer's figure.

Not long after, she soon spotted the enemy Archer on a tall building, and he was drawing his bow and arrow, ready to attack again.

"Found the enemy!"

The moment she spotted the enemy, Tomoe Gozen drew her bow and arrow, with three flaming arrows between her four fingers, and attacked Archer first.

He let go, and three fire arrows flew rapidly towards the enemy Archer.

But it wasn't over yet, Tomoe Gozen transformed another arrow, but this arrow didn't have any flames and shot out in a different direction.

"That's all, let's leave here now!" Tomoe Gozen said, "He won't be able to interfere with us in the short term!"

"Then let's go!" Cao Mengde nodded.

So Cao Mengde and his companions quickly left the scene and ran towards the designated private school, Hogunhara Gakuen, which had not been affected by the fire.

Meanwhile, on the enemy Archer's side.

Archer naturally noticed the three fire arrows Tomoe Gozen shot at him, which were as fast as the Noble Phantasm arrows he had fired before, leaving a bright red trail in the night sky, like a meteor.

Moreover, these three arrows were aimed at his head, chest and abdomen, all aimed at his weak points!

Archer couldn't ignore these attacks, so he turned his arrows around and fired three arrows in rapid succession, each of which was aimed at the three fire arrows flying towards him and destroyed them all.

Just when he wanted to look at Cao Mengde and the others again, he suddenly threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, and projected a black and a white dagger in his hands at an extremely fast speed.

Cross them in front of your chest.

It was at this moment—ding! Sparks flew off the dagger, and the huge force knocked Archer off the edge of the rooftop and hit the wall hard.

Looking at the dagger in his hand, there was actually an arrow that was red and black embedded in it!

That was Tomoe Gozen's fourth arrow! It managed to successfully hit Archer silently, hiding behind the obvious arrows!

Unfortunately, Archer reacted in time, otherwise this attack would have been enough to make him disappear immediately!

"What an amazing guy..."

Archer chuckled.

He actually didn't have to block the attack, but he had something he had to do and he couldn't retreat now.

Archer stood up again, walked to the edge of the rooftop, and jumped down.

Chapter 24: Almighty Rune

"Huh, we've finally reached our destination. We're temporarily safe now." Roman couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Cao Mengde and others enter the teaching building.

After experiencing a series of battles and encountering Archer's terrifying attack, everyone was already exhausted.

Of course, this is for the two girls, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Olga Marie.

As heroic spirits, Cu Chulainn and Tomoe Gozen did not feel much, as the battles they had experienced in their lifetime were much more tiring than the one they were facing now.

Cao Mengde was similar. However, perhaps because of the lack of physical exercise as a modern person, Cao Mengde only felt physically tired, but mentally he was full of energy.

"Let's take a break first and then go look for the Holy Grail later." Cao Mengde said.

No one had any objection.

Mashu was still unconscious, so everyone moved a few tables into the classroom and put them together to make a bed for Mashu to lie on.

"Is Mashu okay?" Gudako asked worriedly.

"She's fine." Cu Chulainn replied, "I checked her body with rune magic. There's nothing serious. She just consumed too much energy and fell into a coma."

"I have already used rune magic to treat her. She will recover after a short rest."

"Is that so?"

Hearing this, Gudako felt relieved and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, rune magic is really omnipotent. It can do everything. Not only can it heal, but it can also make Mashu fly and let Tomoe Gozen see the enemy in the distance clearly."

Since they were out of danger, the usually talkative Olga Marie now had the leisure to talk to the newcomer, Fujimaru Ritsuka, about science.

"The Rune is a magic that required the Norse God King Odin to permanently sacrifice one of his eyes. Its preciousness and power can be seen from this incident."

"The omnipotence of runes is entirely due to their ever-changing combinations. Every time a rune is added, or an existing magic combination is disrupted, a new rune magic can be born."

"And those who learn the Runes will all have Caster aptitude and will become Caster-class Servants and emerge from the Throne of Heroes in the lower world."

Listening to Olga Marie's explanation, Gudako soon realized: "Oh, so that's how it is!"

"These are common sense for a magician... no, for a Master. Don't you know anything about them?" Olga Marie held her forehead helplessly.

"Well, I just came to Chaldea and there is no one to teach me these." Gudako scratched her head embarrassedly.

"I remember I handed you over to Romani." Olga Marie looked at the projection on the side and said seriously: "Romani, didn't you teach the newcomer well?"

"I also want to teach you well!" Roman said helplessly, "But shortly after Li Xiang came to my room, the control room exploded, and you were dragged into the Fuyuki singularity."

"Forget it, I don't want to talk about these bad things!"

Hearing this, Olga Marie became a little annoyed. She didn't understand why the control room suddenly exploded?

What made her even more irritated was that she always felt that there was something she had forgotten, which made her feel uneasy.

"Since you, Miss Olga Marie, don't want to talk, let Mr. Cao do the talking."

Suddenly, Cu Chulainn changed the topic to Cao Mengde.

Cao Mengde, who was chatting with Ba Yuzen, was slightly stunned: "Why did you suddenly throw the topic to me?"

He is communicating his feelings, could he not be so ignorant of the air!

Revenge, this must be revenge, right!

"Tell me about your origins. I am still a little concerned about this." Cu Chulainn chuckled. "You were a little vague before. Now that I have some time, why don't you just tell me in detail?"

"I'm a little curious too." Roman also became interested. "Mr. Cao said that he can be considered Cao Cao himself. That means, Mr. Cao, you are actually two people? One is a modern person named Cao Mengde, and the other is an ancient person named Cao Cao?"

Huh?

How did Roman guess the correct answer so quickly?

Cao Mengde raised his eyebrows, feeling a little surprised.

I can only say, is he worthy of being King Solomon? Even without the Ten Commandments and becoming an ordinary person, he still has extraordinary wisdom.

At this time, Olga Marie suddenly remembered something: "I remember that there is a kind of servant called a pseudo-servant. It is a kind of servant that uses humans as a container and allows the heroic spirit to possess the container."

Hearing this, Gudako suddenly interrupted: "Like Mashu?"

Mashu also carries the Heroic Spirit in a human body, so it seems that she can also be considered a Pseudo-Servant?

"Mashu is indeed a Pseudo-Servant, but there are still some differences." Olga Marie explained, "Pseudo-Servants are usually dominated by Heroic Spirits, and the humans possessed are usually in a sleeping state."

"Like Mashu, the Heroic Spirits leave everything to humans to lead. The Heroic Spirits will not interfere with human behavior at all, and abilities and Noble Phantasms can be used at will. This state can be called a Sub-Servant rather than a Pseudo-Servant."

Gudako nodded repeatedly, showing an expression of "I have gained more serious knowledge", and then said: "I understand! So Mr. Cao Mengde is a pseudo-servant or a sub-servant, with a heroic spirit named Cao Cao attached to him!"

Her tone was very confident, giving off the feeling of someone saying "I see through everything" in some detective novels or comics.

"That's true..." Cao Mengde showed a subtle smile, "But I'm not a pseudo-Servant! I'm a complete human being!"

"Ah? You're not a pseudo-Servant?" Fujimaru Ritsuka and Olga Marie were both stunned.

This analysis makes so much sense and it all makes sense, and you tell me the answer is wrong?

So weird!

"He is indeed not a Servant." Cu Chulainn testified for Cao Mengde, "I can guarantee this. And this is why I am curious. Because I see some abilities in him that are very similar to those of a Heroic Spirit, but he is also a real human being, which is very contradictory."

As expected of Cu Chulainn Caster, he can see this.

Everyone present showed a curious look towards Cao Mengde, even Ba Yuzen was smiling with curious eyes.

"Master, can you tell me?"

Cao Mengde was helpless: "Since you are all so curious, I will tell you."

"First of all, I woke up like you did and found myself in this disaster scene full of flames."

"Then I discovered that I had an extra memory - my soul and that of Emperor Cao Cao of Wei were strangely fused into one. This may be the cause of this incident, I'm not sure."

Everyone nodded slightly. It sounded very much like that and there was nothing suspicious about it.

"As for my ability, this may be the ability brought by the fusion of Cao Cao and me, which allows me to obtain part of the abilities of the servant I contracted."

Cao Mengde simply talked about his situation without giving too much details.

For example, the system and his time travel were never mentioned at all.

But even so, it was enough for Cu Chulainn and everyone in Chaldea to believe it.

Seven parts truth and three parts falsehood is always the most perfect statement.

Chapter 25: Mashu's spiritual base returns, and the exposure becomes lower!

Hearing Cao Mengde's words, Roman was surprised: "Ah? You can obtain part of the abilities of the contracted servant? Is this true?!"

"of course it's true."

Cao Mengde then gave everyone a brief demonstration. He pulled Tomoe Gozen's Blood Cherry out of the scabbard, used [Demon Seed] to resonate with the Blood Cherry, and successfully ignited the blade.

It really is!

Olga Marie had the same expression as Roman. Being able to obtain part of the abilities of a contracted servant was totally unheard of in the magic world!

I have never heard of anyone gaining the ability of a Servant.

Suddenly she asked Cao Mengde: "Are you Chinese?"

"Correct."

"Chinese people, could it be the so-called immortal arts from the East?"

In the East, China has a completely different magic base from other places. It is the "Thought Magic" that originated from the local area and has nothing to do with Western magic, and most of them belong to the magic organization "Helix Hall" there.

The Spiral House has nothing to do with the Western Magic Association. It is an independent magic organization in China, and their purposes are completely different.

And it occupies the vast majority of influence in the East.

Simply put, people in the East just entertain themselves and don't care what happens in other places, and other places don't care what happens to them.

However, the more terrifying thing is that it is said that there are still immortals in China - immortals who have lived from the Age of Gods to the present day.

They belong to the minority of the East, the magic organization "Mountain Court" that controls the connection to the "Disk". And these immortals are the cadres of the Mountain Court.

These immortals are all true immortals. They are the very essence of mystery. Even the breath they exhale and the tears they shed are wrapped in a powerful mystery.

"I don't know, maybe."

Cao Mengde certainly knew that his ability was not some kind of magic, but he would certainly not admit it. It would be more beneficial to him to keep it vague.

Anyway, he really doesn't know what the system is, so there is nothing wrong with you saying it is a magic technique.

As long as Cao Mengde himself thinks so, it's fine.

Then, Cao Mengde slashed down casually, and a crescent-shaped flame flew quickly towards Cu Chulainn.

"Hey!"

Cu Chulainn was immediately startled and quickly raised his staff to knock away the flame.

Although it is not very lethal, if you accidentally get it on you, you will definitely be burned black.

"Are you taking revenge? Absolutely?!" Cu Chulainn gritted his teeth.

“How could that be?” Cao Mengde smiled gently, scimitaring his sword and putting it back into the scabbard. “I just waved away the flames on the blade. I didn’t mean to take revenge. After all, we are allies, hahaha!”

Why don't you just take it back? And you waved it towards me on purpose, who would believe it?

Just when Cu Chulainn was about to curse back, there was suddenly some noise behind him.

"Well......"

Everyone turned around and saw that Mashu, who was lying on the desk, had woken up and was struggling to get up.
