Chapter 33

"Classic corruption makes one ten times stronger."

Amidst the audience's gleeful mockery, the screen gradually dimmed.

As if by convention, the ability panel for the Rider class surfaced.

【Medusa】

【Race: Divine Spirit】

【Height/Weight: 172cm · 57kg】

【Origin: Mythology】

【Region: Ancient Greece】

【Alignment: Chaotic Good】

【"Bravery is not something to boast about; sometimes, it is better to be clear-headed."】

【Strength: B】

【Endurance: C】

【Agility: A】

【Mana: A】

【Luck: E】

【Class Skill—Magic Resistance: B】

【Can cancel out magecraft chants of three verses or less; even high-level magecraft or ritual spells struggle to cause her harm.】

【Riding: A+】

【An incredible riding ability; she can easily master various divine and phantasmal beasts. Even supersonic fighter jets can be driven with consummate skill, though dragon-kind cannot be tamed.】

(Due to her excessive riding ability, using the Noble Phantasm "Bellerophon" causes her mount, Pegasus, to temporarily receive a massive boost to all ability values.)

【Personal Skill—Mystic Eyes: A】

【——The highest grade of petrification Mystic Eyes.】

【Depending on the Magic Resistance of the enemy being viewed, they will receive different debuffs.】

(Magic Resistance C or lower results in unconditional petrification.)

(Magic Resistance B provides a certain degree of resistance.)

(Magic Resistance A is highly likely to resist petrification, but physical functions will decline significantly.)

【Independent Action: C】

【Even if the master's mana supply is interrupted, she has the ability to act independently for a short time.】

【Monstrous Strength: B】

【Can increase strength for a short time, allowing her to engage in melee combat with powerful Three Knight class Servants.】

【Noble Phantasm—Self-Sealing Dark Temple (Breaker Gorgon)】

【Rank: C】

【Type: Anti-Unit Noble Phantasm】

【Range:?】

【Maximum Targets: 1 person】

【Seals the opponent's will inside Rider's heart and dominates them.】

(A Noble Phantasm used primarily to seal her Mystic Eyes; its effectiveness is not high.)

【Other-Sealing Blood Temple (Blood Fort Andromeda)】

【Rank: B】

【Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm】

【Range: 10~40】

【Maximum Targets: 500 people】

【A barrier spell that only takes effect after prior preparation; it can slightly drain the physical strength of humans within the area.】

【However, once formally activated, all humans within the barrier are rapidly dissolved.】

(This is a barrier created by Medusa, who absorbs blood to gain mana, in order to gather blood more efficiently; it is somewhat unsatisfactory in terms of combat.)

【Bellerophon】

【Rank: A+】

【Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm】

【Range: 2~50】

【Maximum Targets: 300 people】

【A physical attack that utilizes the phantasmal species Pegasus from the Age of Gods to crush the target with a supersonic charge!】

"Holy crap!"

Countless people gasped, their faces filled with shock.

The powerful double-A panel appeared for the first time, nearly blinding the viewers.

Compared to the Three Knight class Servants, Rider was actually stronger?

This was not just due to Medusa's own strength, but also seemed related to Wang Zhi's magic circuits.

Could it be that Wang Zhi was destined to become the winner of the Fifth Holy Grail War?

The dim sky-curtain shifted, and the footage regarding the Berserker team slowly emerged.

31. The Magecraft Tyrant, the terrifying Purge King!

【One year ago, the Einzbern residence.】

【The winter chill drifted, and pristine white snow covered the ancient castle.】

【Inside the castle, it was empty, gloomy, and deathly silent to the point of being hair-raising.】

【A young girl from an ancient magecraft family knelt on the ground in terror, fear invading her entire body, fine beads of sweat dripping from her forehead.】

【Cold dread...】

【Trembling...】

【Despair...】

【At this moment, her extreme confidence in her own beautiful appearance, the speech she had carefully prepared before coming to the Einzbern clan, the substantial leverage in her hands...】

【All seemed to have become a humorous joke.】

【Her mind was a blank slate; she could not think...】

【The moment she saw that brutal figure, she understood the fact that she was a discarded pawn.】

【The girl lowered her head; the figure sitting at the head of the round table lingered in her heart like a nightmare, impossible to shake off.】

【On the throne, the Purge King looked down at her, revealing a hearty smile.】

【"Speak, what is your purpose for coming?"】

【"I, I want to form an alliance with you to obtain tactical support from the Einzbern."】

【She prostrated herself on the ground, her throat trembling as if her soul had been frozen.】

【The man pondered for a moment, then walked down from the throne, took a silver coin from his hand, and smiled: "A plea for help from the Orpheus clan? I agree."】

【"Thank you... thank you so much!!"】

【She was stunned at first, then choked up, shedding tears of disbelief as she kowtowed repeatedly.】

【Whoosh.】

【In the air, the sound of a coin spinning at high speed suddenly appeared.】

【Accompanied by a beautiful light falling.】

【The girl caught it subconsciously.】

【——It was tails.】

【She suffocated, staring blankly upward, completely frozen.】

【"Another untrustworthy person..."】

【The king of dictatorial tyranny said faintly: "Dispose of her, Berserker."】

【"ROAR!!"】

【Beside the Purge King, a disheveled, hideous giant roared, his aura of brutality overflowing.】

【He raised his stone axe and, in the girl's despairing gaze, brought it down fiercely.】 ===== CHAPTER 34 =====
