Chapter 81

【Even Yukinoshita Yukino, the Archer, and the noble youth in white were stunned.】

【When did they hire such powerful reinforcements?】

【"Not bad, I am indeed Lancer~."】

【Cu Chulainn did not deny it, nodding his head. He was slightly surprised when he saw the position of the noble youth in white, and he revealed an admiring smile: "Yo~ little brother, are you participating in the Heroic Spirit battle? Not bad at all!"】

【"Just muddling through. This guy is even stronger than Saber; he really is a monster-level existence~."】

【Luo Shu also smiled freely, not denying it.】

【Although not the main force, his Gem Magecraft and Reinforcement Magecraft also shouldered some of the damage.】

Witnessing the atmosphere of heroes cherishing heroes between the two, the world could not help but reveal a motherly smile.

At the same time, many people, in their relief at Artoria's narrow escape from death, happily tapped away at their keyboards to vent their emotions, and countless bullet comments flooded in like a tide.

"Great, my King of Knights survived!"

"The big dog is incredibly cool!!"

"Wang-chan is a peerless good man~."

"Since ancient times, Lancers have always been brave and loyal!"

"I have to give a special shout-out to Zilong here!"

"I like Cu Chulainn; his personal charm is maxed out."

"Hehehe... my King of Knights... hehehe, the King of Knights survived."

"Damn it, if Lia had been summoned normally and the magical energy pathway had been established properly, she wouldn't have been humiliated."

"If she had lifted her hand and released the true name of the Sword of Promised Victory, the torrent of light would have killed the Hercules directly; a solo kill would definitely have been no problem."

"Emmm, although that sounds very domineering, does no one like Berserker?"

"I love Heracles; I grew up watching Ancient Greek mythology, but his Master is the brutal Purge King, sigh."

"Um, the Purge King is actually quite pitiful too..."

"Yeah..."

"It's all Yukino's fault!"

"That's right, it's all Yukino's fault!"

……

【The scene seems somewhat harmonious; even Yukino arrived at some point.】

【"Lancer, why are you helping us?"】

【The King of Knights asked with a frown, although she was grateful for the Lancer's assistance.】

【But there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world; how could there be someone who helps others without any connection?】

【What's more, in this cruel Holy Grail War!】

【Cu Chulainn curled his lips in a rough and wild manner, revealing a sense of clarity that was inherently upright yet firmly believed in loyalty.】

【"Ah~ that's a question for my Master. Anyway, the order I received was to prioritize protecting Yukinoshita Yukino; other than that, I can do whatever I want."】

【"But I can't protect this little girl completely on my own."】

【"..."】

【The King of Knights fell silent instantly, understanding what Cu Chulainn meant.】

【So saving her was a helpless move he had to make.】

【Even so, she silently noted this favor. Although she would not hand over the Holy Grail directly, if Cu Chulainn were in trouble, Artoria would definitely step in to help; this was her way of life.】

【As one problem was solved, another undoubtedly arose.】

【"Lancer, why does your Master want you to protect me?"】

【Yukino frowned deeply and couldn't help but ask.】

【She didn't have many acquaintances in Fuyuki City, and none of them had become Masters.】

【"It's a secret~."】

【Cu Chulainn placed his finger on the corner of his lips and smiled, refusing to answer.】

【Yukino's confusion deepened, but she then earnestly pleaded: "Can I ask you to block that monster? Saber needs a little time to recover."】

【Hearing this, Cu Chulainn's smile turned cruel, revealing his white teeth as his body slowly lowered.】

【"It wouldn't matter if I killed him, right?"】

【"?"】

【A question mark appeared above the girl's head as she looked blankly at the air in front of her.】

【Yes, the moment the voice fell, the Lancer's body vanished instantly, appearing above Berserker a moment later, and with a spear thrust, he struck into the gaze of the burly giant, who was clearly filled with shock and anger.】

【Heracles retreated flexibly, baring his teeth and raising his giant axe at the same time.】

【"Clang!!"】

【Sparks flew, crisp sounds overlapped, and the air rippled with almost tangible waves.】

【Cu Chulainn was full of excitement; his body would boil during battle, and he wielded the magic spear in his hand like a ghost or god.】

【This terrifying strength, the muscle memory of slaughter perfected to the peak...】

"Compared to Sasaki Kojiro, Cu Chulainn is the real battle maniac, right?"

In the Sky-Curtain World, a short-haired muscular young man sighed.

As a Baki-verse human, Baki keenly sensed the Lancer's fanatical love for battle; that pure passion made him admire him as well.

It was simply like...

A warrior who followed his own beliefs and loved to fight with all his might!

"Yes, Sasaki-kun wants to fight more to verify his training."

Sakurajima Mai analyzed calmly, discerning the vastly different essences of the two Heroic Spirits.

"The Lancer and the Berserker are both incredibly shining European Heroic Spirits."

The internet-addicted youth Sora couldn't help but exclaim.

……

【So strong!!】

【He's a great opponent to vent against!】

【Under the moonlight, the silver shoulder armor draped over the Lancer's shoulders shone brightly.】

【The light reflected Cu Chulainn's wild smile, and the red spear shaft in his hand looked like a spear soaked in blood; this appearance was like a god of war descending in person.】

【Facing Berserker's angry counterattack, the magic spear slashed horizontally, whipping up a violent whirlwind.】

【"——Clang, clang, clang, clang!!"】

【The sound of metal friction resounded through the sky, erupting into the most beautiful light under the moonlit night.】

【In just a few breaths, the two ancient beings galloped across the battlefield and fought countless rounds.】

【The magic spear and the giant axe collided, clashing incessantly, interweaving.】

【On the grand stage of Fuyuki City.】

【These two great heroes from different time and space were slaughtering each other.】

【Each brave and unparalleled martial art seemed to be the embodiment of the heroes' ideals, the huge passion submerging everything, splashing out incomparably beautiful waves,】

【Life is fleeting, and time is worn away between the waxing and waning of the sun and moon...】

【But the epics sung by people from generation to generation, that immortal light will be passed down forever.】

"Another wonderful battle, ho ho~."

In the real world, many martial artists laughed heartily, feeling a sense of refreshing joy.

……

【"Yukino, please treat my wounds."】

【At the edge of the battlefield, Artoria looked sharp, staring at the two.】

【"Are you talking to me?"】

【The black-haired girl's eyes were somewhat apologetic, "I'm sorry, I don't know such high-level magecraft; the only magecraft I've been good at so far is Reinforcement Magecraft..."】

【"Then let's face it like this; there should be no problem dealing with that guy together."】

【Artoria paused in her tone and prepared to fly into the battlefield calmly.】

【It's strange that she's from the Yukinoshita family but doesn't know healing magecraft...】

【What on earth did Yukino teach this child?】

【Suddenly, a humble, gentle, and magnetic voice emerged.】
