Chapter 1603: Lancer is always a noob

The night breeze rolled up withered leaves, and the courtyard fell into dead silence. Emiya Shirou looked at the Command Spell on his hand and then at Su Xiao. The magic circuits in his body were already connected to the Command Spell, and the Command Spell was connected to the man who walked out of the summoning array.

Emiya Shirou was clearly not stupid and immediately thought of the clues. This man who appeared later, wearing a long leather coat and a long blade on his waist, seemed to be an ally?

The bewildered Emiya Shirou might not know yet what the ally he thought of now would do shortly after. Obviously, Su Xiao and Emiya Shirou's compatibility was seriously incompatible; they were completely two extremes. However, Su Xiao didn't have the habit of killing civilians indiscriminately, and his relationship with the Blood Gate was an irreconcilable hostile relationship.

"Kid, so you are the seventh Master. I really underestimated you."

The Lancer holding the blood spear spoke. He was the Lancer class of this Holy Grail War, one of the seven Heroic Spirits, named Cú Chulainn, a famous hero of the Ulster region in Northern Ireland, the "Child of Light." But compared to the title "Child of Light," more people called him the "Hound of Culann," and some affectionately called him Dog Brother. Cú Chulainn had also said himself that he wouldn't harm any canine creatures.

Cú Chulainn's appearance was definitely among the top of the Heroic Spirits this time. Although the strength of Lancers was generally not very good, they were more handsome than the last. The previous Lancer who died in Su Xiao's hands was because of a grudge involving the Master's fiancée, and was finally sent by the Master to deal with Su Xiao, thus dying miserably.

Cú Chulainn glanced at Su Xiao. For a moment, he couldn't guess what legend Su Xiao came from. Judging by his weapon, Su Xiao was undoubtedly a melee fighter, which made Cú Chulainn instinctively think Su Xiao was an Assassin.

As for the melee ability of an Assassin, Cú Chulainn, as a Lancer, certainly didn't fear it, so he waved the long spear in his hand and stepped forward, signaling Su Xiao to go ahead.

Su Xiao took a deep breath. The air in the different space was very turbid, and the environment was dark and lightless. As for the Lancer Cú Chulainn, this level of Heroic Spirit, he could fight 2-3 at the same time. If it weren't for the fact that Cú Chulainn's Master was an old schemer, and the people from the Blood Gate Adventure Group hadn't shown up yet, making it inconvenient to cause too much of a stir, he would have already used the Devouring Core to convert the other party into energy.

That's right, Su Xiao had another advantage in entering the Holy Grail world, which was that he could improve the level of his Qing Gang Ying ability. Heroic Spirits were composed of high-purity life energy. He had devoured them many times, and the sweetest taste among them was, of course, Artoria Pendragon. Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to devour that Knight King in the end.

"Lancer, go back and tell Kotomine Kirei that I will 'visit' him when I have time. Although he doesn't remember who I am anymore, his father was my old friend, that brat who killed his father."

Su Xiao's words stunned Cú Chulainn. He instinctively thought that Su Xiao was very likely a Heroic Spirit who had participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War.

"Are you... underestimating me?"

As soon as Cú Chulainn finished speaking, he suddenly heard the crisp sound of a blade. Su Xiao had already appeared behind him at some point.

Bang, Clang, Boom!

Cú Chulainn crashed through the courtyard wall and stood up after rolling twice on the road. The speed... was simply not on the same level.

Dense blade light slashed through the courtyard wall and headed straight for Cú Chulainn. As a Heroic Spirit, he wasn't a soft persimmon either. He flicked the long spear in his hand, jumped up from the ground immediately, and rotated the long spear with both hands, forming a blood wheel in front of him.

Clang, Clang, Clang...

Sparks splashed, and the blade light slashed by Su Xiao was all blocked. Before Cú Chulainn could catch his breath, Su Xiao's ghostly figure appeared in front of him.

With a "swish," the long blade slashed across Cú Chulainn's cheek, leaving a bloodstain. He missed with the long spear in his hand, the spear tip stabbing toward Su Xiao's chin, clearly wanting to pierce Su Xiao's head.

Su Xiao tilted his head slightly, actually releasing Checking Zhan Long Shan in his hand. While crouching to dodge the spear, he kicked Cú Chulainn's calf.

With a "bang," Cú Chulainn was kicked back a step, his right leg completely numb below the knee. Before he could retract the spear to defend, Su Xiao's finger hooked, and Checking Zhan Long Shan flew back into his hand on its own. Releasing the blade was just to attract Cú Chulainn's attention.

The blade slashed through the air, and three crisscrossing slash marks appeared on Cú Chulainn's chest. Before he could let out a cry of pain, a hand wrapped in blue smoke grabbed his throat.

Blue smoke wrapped around most of Cú Chulainn's body, and a sense of powerlessness filled his whole body, followed by severe pain. This feeling was like gradually stripping away his soul.

Cú Chulainn, as the Child of Light who galloped on the battlefield, certainly wouldn't let out a scream, only letting out a muffled grunt.

The Devouring Core was instantly activated to the maximum. Cú Chulainn's figure faded rapidly in the blue smoke. A few seconds later, Su Xiao threw the Lancer in his hand out.

With a "boom," Cú Chulainn crashed into a street lamp, half-squatting on the ground, coughing repeatedly. At this moment, he was very confused. With that boy's magic level, how could he summon such a monster?

Heroic Spirit energy surged into the Devouring Core along Su Xiao's arm, finally turning into a colorless energy, which was absorbed by the Qing Gang Ying energy. Because the Qing Gang Ying ability level was too high, and he didn't completely devour Cú Chulainn, the Qing Gang Ying level didn't improve.

"Pity."

Su Xiao felt a bit regretful. If it were according to his usual style of doing things, he would have completely converted Cú Chulainn into Heroic Spirit energy just now, thereby silencing him. But compared to settling old scores with the Blood Gate Adventure Group, the remaining Heroic Spirit energy in Cú Chulainn wasn't worth the risk. If a Heroic Spirit died at the beginning of the war, as long as those people in the Blood Gate weren't all idiots, they would definitely investigate to the end, thereby resolving unknown risks.

Cú Chulainn, whose figure was somewhat transparent, stood up. Just a moment ago, he had a feeling that he was about to be completely devoured.

Cú Chulainn didn't continue to talk nonsense and jumped up gracefully, disappearing into the night in a few leaps. He could lose, but he absolutely couldn't lose his cool, even though he had been pressed to the ground and beaten just now.

In the courtyard, Emiya Shirou looked blankly at Cú Chulainn's retreating background through the hole in the wall. Just now, this Lancer had chased him to the point where there was no way to heaven and no door to enter the earth, but now he was retreating in a sorry state.

"Thank you... for saving me."

Although Emiya Shirou vaguely sensed that Su Xiao was not from the Lawful Good camp, the other party had just saved his life, so he still had the politeness to thank him in person.

"If you don't mind, please come in."

Emiya Shirou looked at the holes in the house and the wall, his expression a bit painful. He was just a student, and his source of money was only the inheritance left by his foster father and part-time jobs.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are Emiya Shirou?"

Su Xiao sat on the wall and lit a cigarette with a "snap."

"You know me?"

Emiya Shirou was clearly a bit confused, or rather, he didn't know what the situation was yet.

"I have some friendship with your foster father."

"Really?"

Emiya Shirou's impression of Su Xiao improved a bit at this moment.

"That's right."

Was it really so? Of course not. In the last Holy Grail War, Su Xiao used the Spider Queen to shoot through the wall several times, sniping Emiya Kiritsugu into pieces. Of course, there was no such history in this Holy Grail world.
