Merlin: A Nightmare's Life Matters Too!
I don't think so...
Why did you have to shoot me with Gungnir?
Logically speaking, one would inevitably be shot; even if one used illusion magic to escape, one would still be hit.
After all, the "sure hit" attribute is Gungnir's most magical, famous, and powerful attribute.
If you were to ask which element in mythology is guaranteed to hit its mark, the most famous one wouldn't be Scathach's Magic Spear, but rather Gungnir.
Or, to put it another way, if you don't play FGO, how many people would know Scathach?
It's like if you don't watch Fate, who would know about the King of Heroes?
That might be a bit of an overstatement, but there are definitely not many people who know them.
But Gungnir, the famous God's Spear, is renowned far and wide.
"Master, I think you need to do something about your Morgan. We are all from the same root, why are you fighting each other so fiercely?" Merlin said weakly.
"Don't worry about that, I have plenty of Command Seals here, they'll definitely bring you back to full health," Chen Luo assured Merlin.
"The point isn't about being fully resurrected, is it? And Morgan, you should know that I can be resurrected even if you kill me, since I can't possibly die. So how about we make peace?" Merlin tried to suggest.
"..." Morgan held the blood-red Gungnir and began to think.
After a moment's thought, Morgan reached out his hand to Chen Luo again.
[Ding! You have a new request!]
"... Huh? Is this appropriate? Fine, fine, I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you, but you can only use it once." Chen Luo said helplessly.
Chen Luo said that he definitely wouldn't be able to get a good night's sleep if his two followers met.
Reality has proven me right.
"Excuse me, what are you two discussing this time?"
For the first time, Merlin felt how inconvenient it was that his high-level clairvoyance could not see into the future.
These two are like riddle tellers.
"You'll find out soon enough," Chen Luo said, handing Morgan the Friendship Revolver he had taken from his backpack.
"Bang!" The next moment, Morgan fired a shot at Chen Luo.
Merlin, who quickly hid behind Chen Luo without revealing any opening, watched helplessly as a bullet curved towards him.
What is that?
"Haha, hahaha, what's going on? Hahahaha..." Merlin burst into laughter.
[Ding! Mission complete]
Hearing the sound of the mission being completed, Chen Luo liked Morgan more and more.
This isn't Morgan, this is a walking Primogem!
"Primogem ... cough cough, Morgan, if you don't want to speak, then you really don't need to force yourself. Speak when you're ready, really, I can wait." Chen Luo said after coughing twice.
"..." by Morgan
Although Morgan didn't know why Chen Luo said that, Morgan was very satisfied with Chen Luo's attitude.
"Help... me. Hahaha..." But the next moment, Merlin pulled Chen Luo back to his senses by tearing off his clothes.
The other person seems to be laughing so hard they're about to die.
"Sorry, this gun is guaranteed to hit once the trigger is pulled, and you'll definitely laugh for 10 minutes after being hit. There's nothing I can do about it," Chen Luo said after tossing the Friendship Revolver that Morgan had returned into his backpack.
"Hahaha, what kind of crappy prop is this? Hahaha..."
"The Church has informed me that the seventh Servant has arrived." Kirei Kotomine stood on high ground, looking down at the brightly lit scene below, and said as if to himself.
But the next moment, a Servant suddenly appeared from the shadows, standing behind Kirei Kotomine.
This is one of the incarnations of Kirei Kotomine, Hassan of the Hundred Faces...
"Has the last Servant been summoned? Then the Holy Grail War..."
"That's right, the Holy Grail War has officially begun, so I want you to go to the Tohsaka family immediately."
"Oh, you mean..." Hassan of the Hundred Faces's heart stirred.
"If it were you, even facing the fortress-like magical barrier of the Tohsaka family would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?" Kirei Kotomine's voice was devoid of any emotion.
"Is this really a good idea? I heard that you and Tohsaka Tokiomi are allies."
"You don't need to worry about that. Even if you have to fight Archer, there's no need to be afraid," Kirei Kotomine continued.
"So you say there's no need to fear the archer, one of the three major knight classes? Well then... as you wish." The servant, dressed in a bodysuit and wearing a bone mask, leaned forward slightly and said.
"Merlin, move to the left, the signal is a bit weak. Move closer, I told you not to be more than a meter away." Chen Luo instructed Merlin from the sofa.
"... That's so unfair!" Merlin groaned as he held up an antenna and approached the television.
Holding up an antenna for so long is really tiring.
"Alright, alright, the gymnastics master's magic show is about to begin. Everyone watch carefully and learn well," Chen Luo said to the crowd after the television returned to clear.
Samsung's prop - Human Antenna.
This is also one of the main reasons why Chen Luo kept Merlin around.
This prop doesn't refer to an antenna made of a person, but rather that if someone holds an antenna and stands next to a television or any video device, others can see what the person holding the antenna is seeing or thinking.
And if you combine that with Merlin's ability to see far and wide, then... it becomes a live broadcast.
However, the person holding the antenna cannot move more than one meter away from the TV or any video equipment, otherwise the signal will drop rapidly.
And so Merlin became a mere sign-holding tool.
After a while, the gymnastics show that Chen Luo had mentioned finally began.
Everyone could clearly see that the Servant, who was an assassin, was holding a few pebbles and using them as a way to navigate, moving gracefully and elegantly through the barrier of Tohsaka Tokiomi's back garden.
In a swift and agile maneuver, they dodged the barrier fluctuations, which had both detection and damage effects, by the narrowest of margins.
"Wow, Master, this uncle is amazing! Can you do it?" Sirin asked, her eyes sparkling.
Although the other party didn't cause any damage, I have to admit he was quite handsome.
"... Yvette, give me your ID card." After a moment of silence, Chen Luo didn't answer Sirin, but instead extended his hand to Yvette.
"?" Although Yvette was a little confused, she still handed Chen Luo the maid card that represented her identity in this world.
"Clang!" The Night Bell tolled, sounding both extremely distant and extremely close.
"Here you go." After hearing the bell, Chen Luo returned the card to Yvette.
"?" Yvette was somewhat puzzled.
"Bang!" Just as Yvette was wondering, everyone could see that the assassins who were easily and gracefully dodging various infrared scanning devices seemed to have also heard the bell. Then, they suddenly froze, as if they had encountered something extremely terrifying.
"Buzz!" The assassin collided with the oncoming barrier scanner, triggering the barrier alarm.
The next moment, golden waves rippled out, and Assassin was instantly riddled with countless weapons, turning him into a pincushion.
"Look, he's not that powerful now," Chen Luo said, pointing at the assassin on TV while holding Sirin in his arms.
"Sirin, never learn from that assassin. He made a mistake because he was too arrogant. So, never get arrogant after you achieve something."
Chen Luo didn't mention anything about the Grand Assassin, but instead used the assassin as a negative example to educate Little Sirin.
"Okay, Master. But that golden-haired big brother is also very handsome, and quite arrogant, so will he get into trouble?" Sirin nodded seriously and pointed at the Golden Flash on the TV screen, asking.
"... Don't worry, all negative examples will get into trouble!" Chen Luo assured him.
Deceased: Golden Flash
Cause of death: A negative example.
Chapter 624 Merlin: Nightmare's fate is also a fate.
Chen Luo's actions left Merlin speechless.
Merlin didn't know what Chen Luo had done, but he did know that another Grand rank being had appeared just now.
Merlin, as one of the Grand Slam candidates, can vaguely sense the other Grand Slam champions.
Especially when the opponent's Grandmaster is right next to you.
Of course, Merlin was just overwhelmed by the display of skill.
However, the assassin was so thoroughly outmaneuvered that he lost his skull.
According to the script, this was supposed to be the case...
Kirei Kotomine an assassin to kill Tohsaka Tokiomi, and then when the Assassin broke in, he showed off the Assassin's skills to make the other Servants think that he was indeed a Servant.
Then Gilgamesh, the Golden Flash, took action and killed the assassin.
The purpose of this was twofold: first, to demonstrate Gilgamesh's power and intimidate others; and second, to allow the assassins to make a smooth exit.
Chen Luo knew that the assassin was Hassan of the Hundred Faces, who could create many clones, but the other Servants didn't know that. They would assume that the assassin was out of the game after seeing a Servant die.
Then Kirei Kotomine will be able to legitimately apply for asylum at the Holy Church.
This way, the assassins can be truly hidden in the shadows.
I have to say, that was originally a pretty impressive move. (No comment)
Although Chen Luo's thoughts influenced the opponent, it did not change the opponent's fate. The opponent was still blasted to death by a wave of sword rain.
"This is... Gilgamesh?" After Merlin glanced at Gilgamesh's performance through Hassan of the Hundred Faces' perspective, he quickly deactivated his Clairvoyance.
After all, the other party also possesses the ability to see far.
"Alright, don't worry, there's no need to be so nervous. Although Gilgamesh is indeed one of the candidates for Grand Caster, this Gilgamesh is an Archer-class mage, and his actions are somewhat confusing. He directly turned off his Gate of Babylon, so naturally he didn't activate Clairvoyance."
"So don't worry about being detected by the other party, as long as the subject you are detecting is not the other party," Chen Luo said to Merlin.
"I see... It seems this Holy Grail War is indeed quite complicated. Iskandar, Artoria, Morgan, me and the King of Heroes, quite a lineup."
Merlin subconsciously ignored the fact that Diarmuid had been killed twice and the assassin.
"Yes, it's a pity I didn't get the top three riders."
In the Holy Grail War, there is no fixed distinction between strong and weak Servants, but the Archer, Saber, and Spear Servants are also referred to as the "Three Knights," the Upper Three Knights.
Because they are mostly heroic spirits from a time when magic was abundant, they possess extremely high magical resistance, and modern Magus (except for certain special Magus) cannot harm them in the slightest.
Berserkers, assassins, Magus, and cavalry are known as the lower four classes.
Magus are generally considered the most useless of all.
Because these Servants possess some degree of Magic Resistance, especially the Three Knights whose Magic Resistance is exceptionally high, Caster is generally considered the weakest class.
Secondly, there are berserkers or assassins.
Berserkers are generally strong, but they lack intelligence.
As for assassins, most of them don't have any outstanding achievements.
It refers to the majority, not just isolated cases.
In particular, the assassins summoned in Fuyuki City all seem to be Hassans from the Assassins lineage.
To be Chen Luo, aside from King Hassan, 90% of the other Hassans are rubbish.
Of the four riders, only one was relatively good, since the opponent had a rather impressive mount.
Of course, these are all general observations.
As for Chen Luo... he directly drew two of the three least desirable lower-ranking riders.
The Magus would be useless if he hadn't been summoned beforehand.
The very purpose of the Magus class is to help the Master exploit a bug and summon an extra Servant.
But this time, the Magus was the last one to be drawn.
"Don't look at me like that, can't I think about it?" Chen Luo muttered softly, feeling Morgan's gaze.
