"Hahahaha! Too slow, too slow!"
The Saber in red swung her sword wildly at Cú Chulainn, every strike aimed at a vital point! Her attacks were incredibly frenzied; if she weren't so lucid, people would easily believe she was a Berserker!
"What a fiery one! Ansur!"
Cú Chulainn drew a symbol with one hand, and ancient Rune Magic manifested in this era! Flames! Fierce flames coiled out like fiery serpents, lunging at the girl!
But the girl split the flames with a single sword stroke. Saber is a class with Magic Resistance, and although the girl's Magic Resistance was only B-rank, it was enough to nullify spells below a three-verse incantation. This meant Cú Chulainn was completely countered, and it was only a matter of time before he was defeated in prolonged combat.
However.
"Magic Resistance, huh? That's really unfriendly to us Casters, but! Try this!"
Cú Chulainn had been holding his Druid's Staff in his left hand, continuously accumulating magical power. Once his magic was fully charged!
"*Flaming Hound's Fangs!*"
"*Roar!*"
A surging flame erupted from the staff! In mid-air, the flame transformed into a massive magical hound, spewing hellfire as it pounced on the girl!
This time, the magical hound was above a three-verse level, meaning it could now harm the girl.
The girl blocked the hound's pounce with her sword, and feeling the stinging burn, she smiled.
"Now that's more like it! Hmph!"
The girl's magical energy surged! The sheer output of her magic was terrifying. With a powerful swing, she brought her greatsword down!
"*Boom!*"
Red magical energy transformed into a sword qi, bursting forth! The flaming magical hound opened its maw to bite, and after a two-second standoff, both exploded!
From the scattered flames, a figure shot out! It was the girl! Clad in heavy armor, she charged through, heedless of the burning flames! Her greatsword raised high! Amidst a maniacal laugh, she slashed at Cú Chulainn!
But just then!
"*Swiftness! Fortification!*"
Bazett arrived in a flash! She donned black gloves, infusing them with a massive amount of magical energy to make them harder and stronger!
She instantly appeared before Cú Chulainn, and her punch collided with the greatsword! Intense tremors spread out! The walls on both sides instantly cracked and crumbled!
"Ugh!"
Bazett's throat tasted sweet, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth. The difference in power between a human and a Heroic Spirit was simply too vast. Even with her magical enhancements, she couldn't withstand the radiating force.
"Oh? Is that your Master? Hahaha! No way, a Servant like you needs protection from their Master? That's just ridiculous."
The armored girl didn't continue her attack, instead resting her greatsword on her shoulder and mocking him.
Cú Chulainn frowned, holding the somewhat weak Bazett. A flame flickered in his eyes, and behind him, burning branches sprouted.
"Hmm! That's more like it! A real man should go head-to-head!"
The girl knew he was about to unleash his Noble Phantasm, so her helmet automatically opened, revealing her beautiful face. At the same time, she raised her greatsword high with both hands! Red lightning-like magical energy seemed to pierce through heaven and earth!
"To! My Beautiful Father!"
The girl prepared to unleash her Noble Phantasm to eliminate both of them, but seeing this, Bazett's eyes lit up! She raised her hand and opened the lid of the backpack she carried! Inside were several mysterious spheres!
Just as the two strongest powers were about to collide!
"Saber, do not use your Noble Phantasm. Retreat."
"Hm?"
The girl heard her Master's voice. Her expression immediately turned sour. It was incredibly difficult to retract her power at a moment like this.
"Don't make me use a Command Seal."
However, the white-haired girl's voice came again. The armored girl gritted her teeth and gradually dispersed her magical energy.
"Ah~ Consider yourselves lucky. I'm a bit tired. Next time, I'll take your dog's life."
With that, the girl put away her greatsword, turned, and leaped away.
Cú Chulainn frowned, watching her leave, not understanding why, when victory had been so close.
Bazett, on the other hand, looked regretful. She wouldn't have the chance to use her Noble Phantasm.
"Cough, cough. Are you alright, Caster?"
Bazett coughed as she stood up, securing the lid of her backpack.
Cú Chulainn also retracted his magical energy and gave a hearty laugh.
"Thanks to my Master, I'm not hurt at all."
"That's good."
Bazett breathed a sigh of relief. To Bazett, Cú Chulainn was not only her Servant but also an elder figure. Though they had only been together for a day, Cú Chulainn had given her much life advice—verbose advice, that is.
"I'm fine, but you…"
Cú Chulainn reached out and patted Bazett's head, then thumbed back at what was behind them. This was…
"Woah~ woah~ woah~ woah~"
The shrill wail of sirens rapidly approached, and Bazett's expression shifted! She finally remembered! She had...
...escaped from prison!
"Ah!! Run, Caster!"
"Haha! Alright then, Master!"
With that, Cú Chulainn reached out and scooped Bazett up in a princess carry. Then, with a surge of magical power, he leaped onto a tall building and moved swiftly across the rooftops.
Mo Shuying stood not far away, a smile playing on his lips as he watched the scene unfold. He had witnessed the battle just now and knew who the armored girl was.
Mordred.
One of the Knights of the Round Table from Great Britain.
King Arthur's child—not biologically, but truly his child nonetheless.
She was also the culprit behind the downfall of King Arthur's reign in Great Britain.
She was killed by Artoria on Camlann Hill, but she also delivered a fatal blow to Artoria.
"I didn't expect this person to be summoned. I wonder what it'll be like when she meets Artoria. I'm suddenly a little curious."
A mother-daughter battle? Or a father-son battle?
In any case, it would definitely be spectacular.
As for Mordred's Master, Mo Shuying hadn't found them. The opponent was well-hidden, and Mo Shuying hadn't sensed the presence of any powerful mages nearby.
Seeing that the skirmish was over, Mo Shuying prepared to leave. He leaped to the rooftop of another building, and just as he was about to jump again, Mo Shuying suddenly saw something!
A cloaked figure stood in the shadows. They shouldn't have been discoverable, but the moment they made their move, their aura was briefly exposed! Mo Shuying sensed it!
It was a jade-like hand, so white and smooth, meaning that "he" was actually a "she"!
He watched as a green light glowed in her hand before she shot it out! Its target was the direction Cú Chulainn and Bazett had taken.
"Not good!"
Someone was ambushing them!
Mo Shuying instantly used Flash, lunging forward! In a flash, he was beside the mysterious person!
"Stop!"
Mo Shuying unceremoniously threw a punch! The mysterious person was startled! In their panic, they unleashed a barrier!
*"BAM!"*
Mo Shuying's fist was blocked by a blue water mirror! Although the punch caused cracks to spread across the water mirror, it managed to hold firm!
"Hmph!"
The opponent steadied themselves and let out a cold snort. Gray gas immediately billowed around them!
"Poison gas?"
Mo Shuying quickly retreated. The opponent seized the opportunity to jump off the building, rapidly disappearing into the night.
"Damn it!"
Mo Shuying didn't pursue further. There was still poison gas ahead, and if not dealt with, it could claim the lives of ordinary people.
He waved his hand, summoning two Speed Wolves, and sent them over to haphazardly suck up the gas. The breath of magical beasts was quite potent. They absorbed all the poisonous mist before they died, then quickly decomposed.
"How toxic!"
Mo Shuying frowned. He turned to look in the direction Cú Chulainn and Bazett had gone, then took a step, quickly following after them!
Soon, he found them on the rooftop of a building.
"Caster! Caster! Don't die!"
