Chapter 1089

Is this guy also a killer—

【Caster waves her staff to cast a strengthening spell on Soichiro Kuzuki, letting her Master go vent his anger himself, while she summons Dragon Tooth Warriors to block Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka, preventing them from getting in the way.】

【Video paused.】

【Question: What will be the result of the battle between Soichiro Kuzuki and Medusa?】

【A: Soichiro Kuzuki wins.】

【B: Medusa wins.】

【C: A third party intervenes, and the battle is aborted.】

【D: Both sides perish together.】

【Answering time is 1 minute, the quiz starts now.】

"This question..."

Luvia did not ask Extra Feng Xi directly, but analyzed it herself first.

D can probably be ruled out; with that woman Medea there, how could she let her Master perish together with the opponent? The probability is too low.

Soichiro Kuzuki wins...

Medea isn't mentioned, so does that mean she didn't intervene in the battle? But if so, is it really possible for a human to defeat a Servant? It's not like he's Extra Feng Xi, who has a bunch of cheats.

The probability of Medusa winning isn't high either; after all, she doesn't look to be in very good condition in the video.

As expected, is option C the one with the highest probability?

"How about it?"

Luvia stated her guess, wanting to hear Extra Feng Xi's opinion.

"Very reasonable, but it carries too many of your own subjective thoughts."

Extra Feng Xi laughed: "Why do you think Soichiro Kuzuki is no match for Medusa just because he is a human?"

Luvia: "Isn't that the case?"

Extra Feng Xi: "Most Heroic Spirits were also human in their lifetimes; don't underestimate the power of humans."

"(*~︿~)"

Medusa was a bit annoyed, feeling that Extra Feng Xi was looking down on her.

Even if she is in poor condition in the video, she shouldn't be unable to beat a mere human!

"So, your idea is to choose A."

Luvia frowned: "You think that highly of this guy?"

Extra Feng Xi: "I'm just providing an idea; if we can't agree, then everyone can stick to their own opinions."

Luvia: "(???)"

【The answer is now being revealed.】

【Looking at the murderous Soichiro Kuzuki, Shinji Matou was completely terrified.】

【"Wh-why? Why can you still move..."】

【Looking at Soichiro Kuzuki's cold and ruthless eyes, Shinji Matou only felt his legs go weak, and he couldn't move at all.】

【"D-don't come over! Can't you hear me telling you not to come over! Rider! Kill him quickly!"】

【"..."】

【Medusa wanted to curse in her heart, but she still brandished her long nails toward Soichiro Kuzuki.】

【Although her current situation is very bad, dealing with an ordinary person is—】

【The next moment, something jaw-dropping happened.】

【Soichiro Kuzuki crouched down, swung his hands forward like two lightning-fast pythons, grabbed Medusa's neck with one hand, plunged the other into her heart, and threw her against the wall with force.】

【"Boom!!!"】

【Medusa's body sank into the wall and vanished into specks of light.】

【That's right, Rider Medusa was eliminated just like that.】

【Killed by a human.】

【"... I'm sorry, Sakura. If only you were my Master."】

【This was Medusa's final thought.】

【She wanted to help this pitiful girl, but unfortunately, there was no chance left.】

Everyone: "..."

Rider: "..."

She actually lost, and was even insta-killed by a human! What kind of joke is this!

Taiga Fujimura: "So, so strong!"

Li Shuwen: "The strike was clean and decisive, aiming for the opponent's vitals; this is a killing technique created from years of combat!"

Li Shuwen: "Haha, I never thought such a person could be born in the modern era."

Rin Tohsaka: "But, insta-killing a Servant is just too..."

Waver: "No, this result is actually not surprising."

Rin Tohsaka: "???"

Waver: "Have you forgotten Medusa's inner monologue earlier? Her current Master, Shinji Matou, can't provide her with much magical energy at all, so like King Arthur, her own strength was likely severely weakened from the start."

Lord El-Melloi II: "Moreover, under Shinji Matou's orders, she is currently overdrawing her energy to activate her Noble Phantasm; even maintaining her own existence is a struggle. It can be said that her combat power had already dropped to the lowest point."

Waver: "Finally, the most critical issue is underestimating the enemy."

Rider: "..."

That's right, even though she was weak to the extreme in the video, she didn't take the human Soichiro Kuzuki seriously; this was the biggest key to her downfall.

Simply put, the key was having the wrong Master.

That bastard Shinji Matou!

Rider wished she could drag Shinji Matou out right now and drain him dry.

【Regarding Medusa's sloppy defeat, Soichiro Kuzuki didn't show it on his face, but he was still a bit bewildered inside.】

【Because his opponent was a Servant, he had specifically prepared to deal with her seriously, but he hadn't expected the opponent to be so weak.】

【But never mind, dead is dead; he had no interest in caring about a dead person.】

【Glancing coldly at Shinji Matou, Soichiro Kuzuki intended to end this trouble, but suddenly receiving a message from Medea, he walked away without looking back.】

【Medea felt that trash like Shinji Matou wasn't even worth killing; for Soichiro Kuzuki to kill him would just dirty his own hands. It was better to leave him alive to continue disgusting Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka.】

【Afterward, Medea took the early-leaving Soichiro Kuzuki home.】

Caules: "I feel like Caster is going to mess this up."

Gordes: "Huh? You think this trash can make a comeback?"

Caules: "Uncle Musik, you forgot; during the pairing on the first day, Shinji Matou wasn't just Medusa's Master, he was also Gilgamesh's Master."

Gordes: "Uh..."

Rin Tohsaka: "In other words, this menace really might make a comeback."

Guna: "It really fits the saying: the good don't live long, but the menace lives for a thousand years."

Shirou Emiya: "..."

Ishtar: "Gilgamesh, your eye for talent isn't that great either; even if you want to cause trouble, you shouldn't just pick any trash to be your Master."

Gilgamesh: "Shut up!!!"

He didn't think much of Shinji Matou either, and didn't understand how he had agreed to become the Servant of such trash in the original story.

【The crisis was resolved, the Dragon Tooth Warriors retreated, and Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka finally found Shinji Matou.】

【This guy was still sitting foolishly in the classroom, unable to accept the fact that he had lost his Servant.】

【Rin Tohsaka didn't care if this guy was acting stupid or was actually stupid; she went straight up and beat him into a severe injury.】

【Shirou Emiya didn't stop her, because Shinji Matou had really gone too far this time.】

【But they still couldn't bring themselves to kill him, so they eventually sent Shinji Matou to the hospital along with the other students.】

【And the late-arriving Archer was questioned by Rin Tohsaka.】

【How much time had passed? Shirou Emiya had rushed over immediately despite being injured, while Archer, who was just idling at home, arrived only now. No wonder Rin Tohsaka was angry.】
