Chapter 64: Cuchulainn, you still cannot grasp a battle of this level
Within the Land of Shadows, a purple-haired, red-eyed queen was training as she always did.
She had seen the unchanging scenery of the Land of Shadows too many times, and she, Scathach, the Queen of the Land of Shadows, still looked forward as always to the moment a being capable of killing her would appear.
Of course, it would be even better if it were her good-for-nothing disciple.
Suddenly, she stopped the movements of honing her spear technique, a hint of curiosity appearing in her red eyes.
The wisdom of the demonic realm, which she had trained to reach the state of Omniscience, told her that an interesting existence seemed to have appeared above this world.
She narrowed her eyes and looked out, looking toward the inner side of the world; although she was a demigod who had been banished outside the world and was ageless and immortal, she could still observe the developments on the inner side of the world just like Merlin.
In fact, within the perspective of Omniscience, it could not be said that she and Merlin had never interacted.
It was just quite unexpected that the Counter Force had actually lowered its exclusion of the Land of Shadows, which gave her the possibility of descending to the inner side of the world.
A moment later, the wisdom of the demonic realm told her the reason for the matter: an unknown existence that might destroy the world had appeared in the world.
"Interesting? An existence capable of destroying the world? Then, can it kill me?"
Scathach was very curious about this, or rather, this was exactly what she was looking forward to.
Whether it was a beautiful death or an ugly death, she only hoped that she could one day welcome her own demise.
As she spoke, she shifted her gaze toward the Heroic Spirit Summoning Array that was still vacant.
Watching the blue figure holding a crimson long spear gradually appear in the array, the corners of her mouth could not help but curl into a smile.
That was the disciple she was most proud of, Cuchulainn, who she had looked forward to for so long to kill her.
The Child of Light of Ireland.
And now, she really wanted to test the caliber of her disciple, to see his progress in martial arts, and whether there was a possibility he could kill her.
"Gate of the Demonic Realm, overflowing with death!"
Now that she was a demigod, the Boundary gate she used would naturally not be as restricted as a Noble Phantasm, now that there was no suppression from the Counter Force.
She could completely bring anyone from the inner side of the world into the Land of Shadows.
"Cuchulainn, let me see your caliber, let me see if you have grown to the point where you can kill me."
Scathach said with great anticipation; whether she was killed by her own disciple or by that unknown existence, it was about the same to her.
But if possible, she would rather have the deed of killing her be done by the warrior she had taught with her own hands.
"As expected, is it Master?"
Cuchulainn smiled quite helplessly; the moment he was summoned, he had already thought of the possibility of being sought out by his master.
It was just that he did not expect to be pulled over before he had even landed.
Cuchulainn gave up resistance and allowed this Gate of the Demonic Realm to pull him into the Land of Shadows.
Looking at the tall, violet-haired figure holding a demonic spear, Cuchulainn did not hesitate and charged straight up with his long spear.
After several days and nights of battle, it ultimately ended with Scathach thrusting her long spear into Cuchulainn's Spirit Core.
"Sure enough, I am still far from killing Master."
Cuchulainn said very magnanimously; since he had failed to descend and save the world, crossing blades with his master again had fulfilled his wish.
"After all, in these years in the Land of Shadows, the only thing I have left to do is hone my own techniques."
Scathach smiled and put away the Gae Bolg, looking at the gradually dissipating Cuchulainn with satisfaction and admiration, and treated the wounds on her body.
If it weren't for a breakthrough in the heat of battle, perhaps Cuchulainn, having obtained a Grand Spirit Foundation, really could have killed her?
But for now, Cuchulainn, you still cannot grasp a battle of this level; let Master handle it!
Although Scathach and Cuchulainn fought in the Land of Shadows for several days and nights, because the Land of Shadows was a realm outside the world.
The flow of time was not linked to the inner side of the world, so Scathach did not arrive too late before appearing in Kayneth's summoning array.
"You, are you my Master this time?"
Fuyuki City, inside the Holy Church.
Kirei Kotomine looked at the silent, tall figure holding a great sword that appeared in the array and began to check the Heroic Spirit's information.
Strong, just one word: very strong.
Old Man of the Mountain, Grand Assassin, possessing the Concept of bestowing death upon all things, the ability of instant death for everything.
This would be their trump card when facing that demon.
Matou Residence.
Su Nian curiously poked Merlin, who was observing the situation of the Heroic Spirit summoning with Clairvoyance.
"Hey, Merlin the Heartless, tell me what Heroic Spirits those Masters have summoned now."
After all, this was the only use Merlin had left now; well, his role as a Grand Magus had already been completely snatched away by Aika.
Whether it was setting up a boundary field, manufacturing items, or staying by Su Nian's side to assist him.
Aika could do it all perfectly.
"Oh King, can you not say it like that? I will have a heartache too, you know."
Merlin clutched his chest and said with a look of being deeply hurt.
Although he admitted that he had no emotions, where did he not have a conscience?
"Alright, tell me your findings."
Su Nian resisted the urge to give him a punch and said.
Although he was confident he wouldn't flip the car, gathering intelligence was a good habit.
And being confident you won't flip the car—if you actually did flip it, that would be too funny.
There are a bunch of monsters and demons in the Type-Moon world; what if he accidentally gets flipped by a car?
So, mastering information was still very necessary.
"Except for Lancer and Assassin, the other Heroic Spirits are not much different from those summoned in this Holy Grail War."
Merlin was naturally speaking of the Holy Grail War in the original World Line; he didn't know if the Counter Force was doing this because its interference was limited.
The only way is to use the foundation of this Holy Grail War to deal with him.
"Boring, I was actually looking forward to seeing what kind of Divine Spirit the Counter Force could come up with to deal with me."
Su Nian yawned with some boredom, then rubbed Sajyou Ayaka's head and said very affectionately.
"Then, Aika, I'll leave the rest to you."
Sajyou Ayaka suppressed the crimson flush on her face, clapped her hands, and directly severed all abilities connected to the Root here.
Including but not limited to the Star of Omniscience and Omnipotence, Wisdom of the Abyss, Clairvoyance EX, and so on.
Although the Sun Authority on Su Nian's body came with a high-level passive Anti-Divination and anti-observation, he was not afraid of being observed by those things.
But this did not stop him from backhanding and sealing others' cheats.
"Alright, Prince."
After getting it done, Sajyou Ayaka leaned toward Su Nian with a look of seeking praise.
Su Nian also pinched Aika's cheek as a reward; as for more rewards, those would be discussed later.
