Chapter 1619: Be Cunning

Matou Shinji, Gilgamesh, and Cú Chulainn appeared at the same time because they were now in the same camp.

Cú Chulainn's master was Kotomine Kirei. Although Kotomine Kirei had never shown his face, he was a party that could not be ignored in this Holy Grail War. He was both a master and the supervisor of this Holy Grail War.

Not only that, because Kotomine Kirei had participated in the previous Holy Grail War, his Heroic Spirit last time was Gilgamesh. In the final battle last time, because the Blood Gate adventure group wanted to set up the Artificial Holy Grail plan, they had to let the Holy Grail be corrupted. Only by achieving this condition could they possibly create an artificial Holy Grail.

Precisely because of this, Stan had led people to purge the Fourth Holy Grail War. They slaughtered all the rogue Qiyuezhe, allowing the plot to progress to the final battle, so that the Holy Grail could be successfully corrupted.

It was also for this reason that Gilgamesh, who was originally a Heroic Spirit, gained a physical body. He was now a human + Heroic Spirit with demigod characteristics.

As for Kotomine Kirei himself, he didn't even know whether he was dead or alive now. His heartbeat had stopped, but his bodily functions were intact.

After the Fifth Holy Grail War began, Kotomine Kirei summoned a Heroic Spirit again, which was Lancer, Cú Chulainn. As for Gilgamesh, he was no longer a complete Heroic Spirit. For the reason that Kotomine Kirei found him interesting, he had been acting with Kotomine Kirei all along.

Therefore, Kotomine Kirei, Gilgamesh, and Cú Chulainn were in the same camp. Cú Chulainn was controlled by Kotomine Kirei, while Gilgamesh cooperated with Kotomine Kirei, and there was no superior-subordinate relationship. However, most of the time, Kotomine Kirei still had to respectfully call Gilgamesh the King of Heroes; after all, Gilgamesh had the ability to kill Kotomine Kirei.

These three were undoubtedly a powerful force that could not be ignored. As for Matou Shinji, this third-generation magic descendant, he belonged to the type who was mediocre in aptitude, had no magic talent at all, but was unwilling to be ordinary.

Matou Shinji sought out Kotomine Kirei. Against Kotomine Kirei, this old schemer, Matou Shinji was at best a small fry. Perhaps considering that the situation in this Holy Grail War was somewhat complicated, Kotomine Kirei readily agreed to Matou Shinji's request for cooperation and encouraged him, letting him become the proxy master of Cú Chulainn and Gilgamesh.

Golden Flash Gilgamesh naturally didn't care about this proxy master. He understood Kotomine Kirei's meaning: to use Matou Shinji as cannon fodder to attract the attention of others.

As for this combination of Golden Flash + Cú Chulainn + Matou Shinji, it was because Su Xiao had educated Cú Chulainn to the point of doubting life, and had extracted a large amount of Heroic Spirit energy from his body, and directly stated that he would let Cú Chulainn go back and tell Kotomine Kirei that Su Xiao would find an opportunity to visit that brat who killed his father.

Kotomine Kirei naturally didn't recognize Su Xiao, but he sensed Su Xiao's threat, so he sought out Golden Flash, letting him, Cú Chulainn, and Matou Shinji come forward to solve this Saber of unknown origin, which was why the scene before them happened.

When they first fought, Cú Chulainn, whose strength was greatly reduced, could no longer do anything to Amu, and there was even a possibility of being exhausted to death by Amu. Golden Flash acted decisively, and something that surprised Golden Flash happened: he actually couldn't solve Amu in a short time either.

Out of the King's arrogance, Golden Flash was clearly disdainful of continuing to attack Amu, who was in a seriously injured state, not to mention that it was two against one before, which made him very dissatisfied.

Boom, boom!

The ice warhammer and the blood spear collided. Amu stood in front of Tohsaka Rin. Although it was beaten back repeatedly, it wouldn't be defeated in a short time.

Cú Chulainn, who was fighting Amu, had a very ugly expression. In his view, Amu was a warrior worthy of respect. The other party was already seriously injured when fighting him. If it weren't for the forced order of the Command Spell, he wouldn't have continued to fight Amu at all. He, the Child of Light, Cú Chulainn, was ashamed of this kind of battle.

"Amu, are you okay?"

Tohsaka Rin's state was also very bad. She was almost shot to death by Golden Flash, belonging to the kind that was almost killed in seconds. Against a top-tier Heroic Spirit like Golden Flash, a magician seemed very powerless.

"Moo!"

Amu roared. White air drifted around it. As its hand gripped tightly, the area within dozens of meters around it was instantly frozen by ice.

Crack, crack, crack...

Ice wrapped Cú Chulainn inside. Seeing this scene, Matou Shinji behind the iron railing in the distance exclaimed.

"Gilgamesh, are we just going to watch? Although I don't care much about the life or death of that Lancer."

"Shut up. Once Lancer dies in battle, I will naturally end this boring play. Kirei actually let this King do such a boring thing; he is becoming more and more presumptuous."

Golden Flash glanced at Matou Shinji, the meaning being obvious: if the other party dared to chatter again, he would slaughter this blue-haired guy.

Matou Shinji turned his head away sullenly and continued to watch the battle. His fists were subconsciously clenched. Even if he was a salted fish, he still had no small ambition. He wanted to obtain the Holy Grail, because by then, no one would dare to look down on him, whether it was his grandfather or the Heroic Spirit beside him.

With a crisp crack, Cú Chulainn broke free from the ice layer. The long spear in his hand swept across, first forcing Amu back, and then stabbing straight at Amu's head. Amu looked clumsy, but in reality, it was a flexible minotaur.

Amu leaned back with all its might. Just as it was about to lie on the ground, three ice pillars broke through the ground from behind it, propping up its leaning figure.

"Amu, remember, when you are not a match for a certain enemy, you must be cunning."

Su Xiao's voice seemed to appear in Amu's ear. Leaning back, it raised its arms, looking like it was about to slam the ground to freeze the surrounding area.

Cú Chulainn was currently maintaining a forward-stabbing posture. This spear had already missed. Seeing Amu's action, he immediately guessed what the other party was about to do, so he shifted his steps and leaped backward.

Amu's raised arms stopped in mid-air. Its palm gripped empty air, and an ice spear suddenly formed. Amu stood up straight and threw the ice spear with all its might.

With a bang, the ice spear pierced through with a sonic boom. Cú Chulainn, leaping in mid-air, rotated the long spear in his hand and shattered the ice spear with a clang, and a large mist of blue dust exploded.

The moment the ice spear shattered, Cú Chulainn's pupils contracted rapidly, because this thing wasn't solid at all and wasn't meant for stabbing; the rich ice-type energy inside was the trump card.

Crack, crack, crack.

Ice crystals climbed onto Cú Chulainn rapidly. Only then did Amu's hands slam down.

Pfft, pfft...

Five ice spikes broke through the ground, piercing through Cú Chulainn's lower limbs and lower abdomen. These five ice spikes formed a tent shape, and Cú Chulainn couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

An ice warhammer appeared in Amu's hand. This ice warhammer was very huge, so huge that it was somewhat exaggerated; the hammer handle alone was nearly ten meters long.

Amu held the hammer handle with both hands, and the hammer head, the size of a house, slammed toward Cú Chulainn.

Boom!

Dust and smoke rose high, and shattered ice crystals flew everywhere. Tohsaka Rin behind Amu blocked her face with one hand. She looked at the blue energy at the center of the hammer strike, her expression somewhat dull.

"So, so strong."

Tohsaka Rin had always thought Amu was Su Xiao's little follower. Today, she finally knew what it meant to be a minotaur who didn't talk much but was fierce.
