I, Fu Yuan, Will Destroy the Holy Grail War

Although Scáthach's face was covered by a black veil from the bridge of her nose down, only revealing a pair of beautiful purple eyes formed from condensed flames.

However, judging by the skin exposed by the veil, she must be an exceptionally beautiful woman.

Scáthach's beautiful eyes, filled with demonic allure, were filled with surprise and exuded boundless attraction and enchantment, like flames drawing in moths.

In fact, the most enchanting aspect wasn't Scáthach's demonic red eyes, but rather the clothing she wore on her curvaceous body.

The clothing Scáthach wore was a combination of purple and black, a thin garment resembling a light, form-fitting sheer bodysuit. This attire hugged her exquisite body curves like a second skin.

This Queen of the Land of Shadows perfectly embodied what it meant to be fatally alluring and enchanting.

Scáthach is a legendary female warrior from Celtic Mythology, the Queen and Guardian of the Mystic Realm/Land of Shadows, possessing peerless spear techniques that have reached the divine realm and primordial Rune Magic.

She is known as the Queen of the Land of Shadows, who claims, "When the spear's strike reaches perfection, even slaying a god is but a turn of the wrist."

She has killed countless undead, humans, and even gods.

This most powerful female warrior in Celtic Mythology stepped into the divine realm as a human, possessing the immense power to seal the gates of the Land of Shadows, which is filled with countless undead, and to dominate it.

Scáthach opened her enchanting and mysterious crimson eyes, gazing at the man who had turned around in front of her. She said in surprise, "How did I get here... and why do you 'look' so strange?"

Within Scáthach's lazy yet pleasant voice lay surprise and confusion; she had too many questions right now.

Firstly, Scáthach didn't know why she had suddenly left the Land of Shadows and come to the surface of the world, a place that repelled her existence through the Counter Force.

Mysteries would then recede, and all Phantasmal Beasts, non-humans, and beings transcending humanity would be repelled to the outer edges of the world. It was extremely difficult to appear on the surface of the world.

Therefore, Scáthach was very confused as to why she had suddenly appeared on the surface of the world.

However, the confusion about why she appeared on the surface of the world was temporarily set aside by Scáthach. What concerned her more now was the young man standing before her.

This was because Scáthach could not "see clearly" the man in front of her.

Chapter 21: Youthful and Beautiful Scáthach~[3]

The Queen of the Land of Shadows, Scáthach, possessed an ability called 'Wisdom of the Mystic Realm'.

It was a profound wisdom she gained from transcending humanity, slaying gods, and placing herself outside the world.

Scáthach often used this ability to foresee and predict the future, allowing her to see through one's past and future at a single glance, with absolute accuracy.

However... Scáthach's 'Wisdom of the Mystic Realm' could not see through Fu Yuan's past or future.

This situation surprised her.

Scáthach believed there were two possibilities.

First, Fu Yuan's mystery was superior to hers, causing her 'Wisdom of the Mystic Realm' to be unable to see information related to him.

Mystery would be canceled out by a higher level of mystery. If another person's mystery was higher, one's own mystery might even become ineffective.

Second, something was protecting Fu Yuan, concealing his existence. Therefore, when Scáthach used her 'Wisdom of the Mystic Realm,' she couldn't see his information.

Whether it was the first or the second possibility, both made Scáthach intensely interested in the Fu Yuan standing before her.

However, no matter how Scáthach looked at Fu Yuan, she felt he was just an ordinary person...

Because Fu Yuan cultivated the Great Void Sword Qi, his form and spirit were contained, making him seemingly ordinary. In Scáthach's eyes, apart from his handsome face and skin that would make women jealous, Fu Yuan had no other distinguishing features.

Then Scáthach negated her own speculation.

After all, how could a man she couldn't see through even when using her 'Wisdom of the Mystic Realm' be a superficial existence solely defined by his appearance?

"Young man, you don't seem very surprised by my sudden appearance. Did you already know I would show up? You're the one who brought me from the outer world, aren't you?" Scáthach said, parting her cherry lips.

"That's right," Fu Yuan nodded cheerfully. "Because I want to gain the recognition and acknowledgment of the Queen of the Land of Shadows. Simply put, I want to spar with you."

"Spar?" Scáthach was slightly taken aback. Then, the cherry lips beneath her black veil curved upwards slightly, revealing a pleased smile that Fu Yuan couldn't see.

What an interesting proposition.

Scáthach then continued, appraising Fu Yuan, "You mean you want to spar with me and gain my recognition and acknowledgment, is that it?"

"That's right," Fu Yuan showed Scáthach a smile filled with fighting spirit. "Due to certain matters, I wish to have a match with the Queen of the Land of Shadows!"

"Alright," Scáthach accepted Fu Yuan's sparring proposal without hesitation.

Because Scáthach was now filled with curiosity and interest towards the inscrutable Fu Yuan, she also wanted to fight him. This way, she could understand Fu Yuan's strengths and weaknesses.

And Fu Yuan could also understand Scáthach's depth through the spar.

[Car, such a fast car...]

Scáthach suppressed the long-dormant fighting spirit within her and then looked around. "Are you planning to spar with me right here?"

"Of course not," Fu Yuan shook his head.

Originally, Fu Yuan thought that after activating this Daily Quest, the System would send him to the Land of Shadows in the outer world. He didn't expect the System to directly pull Scáthach over from the Land of Shadows.

If Fu Yuan had known Scáthach was coming, he would have found a spacious place suitable for a match in advance.

"Let's go outside, to Mount Ensō. It's vast and rarely frequented there," Fu Yuan pointed in a certain direction.

"Okay," Scáthach nodded without objection.

Fu Yuan grabbed the car keys and then left the house with Scáthach, heading towards the garage. Fu Yuan planned to drive to Mount Ensō because it was quite a distance from his home.

Driving would take about twenty minutes.

Fu Yuan had initially thought he would need to explain what a 'car' was to Scáthach, as she had always stayed in the Land of Shadows and wouldn't be familiar with modern automobiles.

However, Scáthach seemed to already know what a car was. Without needing any explanation from Fu Yuan, she directly opened the car door, then stepped in with her jade legs encased in a purple bodysuit, and settled into the passenger seat.

Scáthach's bewitching eyes, radiating a demonic charm, looked towards Fu Yuan, who was in the driver's seat. A hint of a smile played in her gaze as she asked, "What? Did you think I knew nothing?"

"I did have that thought just now, but not anymore," Fu Yuan chuckled, finding the situation amusing. He remembered that Scáthach possessed eyes that could see the future, so it wasn't surprising that she knew what a car was.

Afterward, Fu Yuan drove Scáthach towards the rarely traveled Mount Ensō.

While driving, Fu Yuan glanced at Scáthach in the passenger seat. He noticed that the Queen of the Land of Shadows had her eyes closed, appearing to be resting.

"Why are you looking at me?" Scáthach suddenly spoke, her eyes still closed.

Fu Yuan was surprised that Scáthach could tell he was looking at her even with her eyes shut.
