Why fight the Holy Grail War? Let's play cards!

Jiang You burst into laughter. He wasn't buying it. "He doesn't even care about my Master, so how could he care less about me? There's no point in talking any more. Let's duel!"

"In that case, it's my turn!"

Bazette quickly took the initiative.

"First, I activate [Inheritance of the Knights of the Red Branch]. Card Name: Once per turn, I Special Summon a Servant related to the Knights of the Red Branch from my Deck. The card I want to summon is [Fergus MacRoy]!"

A muscular man with his upper body bare appeared on the battlefield. He was holding a giant sword that looked like a drill in his hand, his eyes narrowed into a straight line, and he looked honest and simple.

Fergus

Saber 6 stars, attack power 2400.

Fergus looked around in confusion and soon saw a familiar figure.

"Hey, isn't that Cu Chulainn? I'm surprised we can meet again as Heroic Spirits. Good things must have happened to him!"

However, Cu Chulainn, who was fighting Lancelot, did not notice the appearance of his friend and adoptive father. He had become so presumptuous that he had lost control of his facial expression and looked like a hunting dog looking for food.

"Fergus, the Celtic hero, please help me defeat Caster, who is disrupting the order!"

Bazette made her request to Fergus. Although Fergus could not resist her duel order, Bazette still did so.

This behavior naturally earned Fergus a lot of favor: "Oh, such a beautiful Master's request, how could I refuse such a thing? Let me use the 'Spiral Sword' to deal with them beautifully!"

"Next, I use [Inherited Bacteria Keeper], the card name is once per turn, discard a card, and add a Servant card of [Red Branch Knights] and a Counter Trap Card [Backlight Sword] to my hand! The Servant card I want to add is [Cu Chulainn]!"

"Then I usually summon myself, [Bazett]!"

Bazett summoned himself into battle.

Bazett

4-star attack power 1800.

"Using my own effect, I discard a card from my hand to Special Summon a [Red Branch Knights] Servant from my hand! Come, create a legend once again with your former comrades, [Cu Chulainn]!"

Cu Chulainn, who was competing in martial arts with Lancelot, was locked by the rules. The rules wrapped around Cu Chulainn spread out Lancelot's attack, and with Cu Chulainn looking regretful, he summoned him to the duel.

"Master, I'm having a great time fighting here."

Cu Chulainn had already ignited his fighting spirit when he met an opponent who could match him, but after reading the knowledge of Jiang You's treasure, he also knew that the battle between him and Lancelot could not be decided here.

"What a troublesome Noble Phantasm. So, Caster and the like, it's really annoying."

【Cuchulain】

Lancer 7 stars, attack power 2500.

"Hey, isn't this Fergus? This Noble Phantasm can actually summon you as well."

Cu Chulainn greeted his acquaintances and soon realized something.

"So, my master is also in that thing called a deck? That would be truly invincible! Isn't victory guaranteed?"

Cu Chulainn knew how outrageous his master was in this world, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes when he looked at Jiang You.

79

Chapter 79: All appearances can dance.

"Finally, I covered a card in the backcourt to end my turn."

It is almost clear that Bazette's backfield trap card is [Backlight Sword].

Jiang You looked at Cu Chulainn, who had a resistance-breaking effect once per turn thanks to his Arrow Protection, and Fergus, who had the "Cut Three Hills" legend that allowed him to declare three attacks per turn. He decided to deal with the face-down card in the backfield first.

"My turn, draw a card!"

Because Jingmi's addition to Jiang You's Hassan deck expanded a lot of cards, the management is still very tight. Illya and Matou Sakura's cards are not allowed to be used due to plot reasons. Therefore, if you don't stack Zealot, all Hassan servant cards combined will not exceed 2,000 attack.

Jiang You said that if all else fails, he would just summon Romulus to overturn the table and give these servants a little crown shock.

"First, I Normal Summon [Hundred Faces], the effect of Hundred Faces..."

Jiang You started his move very conventionally.

"Want to summon a horde of Assassins? No way!"

Bazett had seen the Faces in groups before in battle and quickly realized the general effect of the Faces.

"I activate the Counter Trap Card [Reverse Light Sword]! This card can be activated when the enemy declares an attack or uses an effect, negating and destroying that card!"

Before the Hundred Faces formed by the shadows could fully appear, their heads were cut off by a sword.

"After activating the effect of [Backlight Sword], this card is not sent to the Graveyard but is directly placed face down!"

As a Noble Phantasm that still exists in the world, Bazette's understanding of the Sword of Backlight is perfect, and he can activate it continuously as long as he replenishes his magic power.

"That's the effect I want. Hundred Faces has an endless supply of clones. I activate the magic card [Delusion]! Summon Hundred Faces to the field once again!"

【Hundred Appearances】Attack power 800*3.

【Morning Glory】Attack power 0.

"Then, I will stack three [Hundred Faces] and summon——[Fanatical]!"

The girl next door appeared on the battlefield again, quickly putting on a hood and a veil.

[Fanatical] Attack power 1000 → 2500.

Kuang Xinzi glanced at Jiang You with a resentful look. She could sense that she would be called out to work overtime from time to time.

"From now on, it's a continuous paranoid heartbeat!"

"First, first shot! Target [Fergus]!"

A twisted arm stretched out from behind Fanatic and grabbed Fergus directly.

"I didn't expect such a cute girl to be so cruel. You really can't judge a person by appearance!"

Fergus looked at his heart being taken out by Fanatic and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It is a warrior's fate to die before fulfilling his ambition. Now I leave it to you..."

"You're still the same, you can't handle women."

Cu Chulainn held the magic spear and shook his head helplessly. He knew Fergus's character. In a normal battle, Fergus would not be able to muster the full intention to kill a woman, so it was natural for him to die at the hands of a woman.

"But don't think you can defeat me so easily!"

"Come to think of it, you died easily from this skill in a certain world line. So, the second Delusional Heartbeat!"

In the HF world line, Cu Chulainn also died at the hands of Hassan the Curse's Noble Phantasm. Although the delusional heartbeat of Fanatic Xinzi is a bit specious, it is enough.

The twisted hand reached out to grab Cu Chulainn again. Cu Chulainn raised his magic spear and dodged the attack on his heart with a very tricky posture.

"[Cuchulainn] effect, once per turn, cannot be destroyed by the effect!"

Bazette didn't know that Jiang You could see the effects of other cards, so he explained.

"I'm better at hunting for other people's hearts than having my heart ripped out."

Cu Chulainn pointed the red spear at Fanatic. He didn't mind this kind of legendary competition on the card.

"It's not over yet, third shot!"

Jiang You removed the last ingredient of Kuang Xinzi, and this time Cu Chulainn's defense-breaking effect was lost, and he could not rely on himself to defend against this attack.

[Fanatical] Attack power 2500 → 1000.

"Master, I leave it to you!"

Cuchulainn entrusted his life to Bazette.

"I won't let you down Lancer!"

Bazette raised his arm, and blood began to emerge from the arm that held the Command Seal.

"When the servants associated with the Red Branch Knights are destroyed, you can free myself as a replacement!"

Fanatic's delusional heartbeat fell on Bazett, and his bright red heart was ruthlessly pulled out, and Bazett was destroyed.

The pain in his chest was so real that Bazett, returning to the main station area, clutched his chest and gasped.

"How heartless! He let the little girl get hurt instead of himself."

In fact, Jiang You also felt phantom pain, but it did not stop him from talking about Cu Chulainn.

"It's really hard to bear, but how can you say that?"

Cu Chulainn pointed the tip of his spear at Jiang You and said, "It's all your fault. Only by winning can my Master be spared from further harm! This little girl can no longer activate her effects, right? Come on, try to break through my defenses!"

"As you wish! I activate the Quick-Play Spell Card [Pale Dance of Death]. Card Name: Once per turn, I Special Summon another [Hundred Faces] from the Graveyard and destroy you, [Cu Chulainn]!"

"What!?"

A quiet shadow appeared behind Cuchulainn, and its slender fingers gently stroked his neck.

The purple poison then covered Cu Chulainn's entire body.

"Just wait, kid. I'll be back on the field next round!"

Cu Chulainn struggled in vain and was dissolved by the poison and sent to the grave.

Another effect of Cu Chulainn is that he can Special Summon himself in the next turn after being sent to the Graveyard. However, unlike Heracles, Cu Chulainn summoned by this effect will be banished when leaving the field.

"I understand. The battle continues. See you next round."

Jiang You waved his hand towards Cu Chulainn who had returned to Lancelot, only for Cu Chulainn to click his tongue in disdain.

Because of the duel, all the servants present stopped fighting and just watched quietly. Because there was no need to fight at all, they were summoned to the battle area from time to time, and they couldn't tell who was the winner.

"Although it's a bit excessive, the effect of [Hundred Appearances] doesn't last once per round, so I can directly fill up my frontcourt!"

The place was covered with densely packed Hassans.

【Hundred Appearances】Attack power 800*3.

"There are 5 Hyakumos on the field, so I activate [Encyclopedia Mastery], and all its effects apply! Hassan on the field gains 500 attack points, destroys your [Reverse Light Sword], and draws a card!"

[Hundred Faces] Attack power 800 → 1300*3.

[Morning Glory] Attack power 0 → 500.

"Total 4400 damage! Time to say goodbye, Miss Bazette!"

80

Chapter 80 Scathach, where is the novice protection period when you first appeared?

The two Hassans stabbed Bazett's waist with daggers from the left and right, bringing out a large amount of blood.

Bazette LP 4000 → 1400.

Just as the third Hundred Faces launched their attack, Bazette's graveyard lit up.

"The effect of the Spell Card [Warrior's Boiling] in the Graveyard: When the enemy declares an attack, banish this card and flip a coin. If it lands heads, destroy that Servant and restore half of its original attack power to health. If it lands tails, reduce its health to half of its current value!"

This is the secret of the Knights of the Red Branch. Even a warrior who has lost half his body can regain his vitality by drinking this. However, it requires a successful Luck check to be effective.

A golden coin appeared out of thin air in Bazette's hand. Bazette flicked his finger, and the coin spun and fell to the ground, bouncing several times.

It's the front.

"Beautiful! Luck is on our side, Master!"

Cu Chulainn cheered and said that surviving from desperate situations is also part of the battle.

A transparent silver-inlaid wine glass appeared above Bazette's head, and crimson liquid poured over her head like a waterfall.

The last Baimao couldn't launch his attack at all. Instead, he was sucked into the vortex of red liquid and disappeared without a trace.

Bazette LP 1400 → LP 1800.

"Well done, then, finally, [Morning Glory] will make a direct attack!"

Jiang You launched the final attack declaration of this round, lowering Bazette's health.

The little black loli headbutted Bazett into her arms, causing her stomach to churn.

Bazette LP 1800 → LP 1300.

"So, in Main Phase 2, I activate [Hundred Man Library], release [Fanatical Child], draw a card, and then cover two cards in the backfield. End my turn."
