I, Fu Yuan, Will Dominate the Holy Grail War

As expected of the Queen of the Land of Shadows, her senses are incredibly sharp.

"It's nothing, I was just curious. After all, you came from the Land of Shadows, outside of the world. Aren't you interested in modern scenery?" Fu Yuan replied.

"You're asking about that? I was interested thousands of years ago, but after a long time, I lost interest," Scáthach said lazily, her eyes closed.

Scáthach, who possesses the 'Wisdom of the Mystic Realm,' saw this modern future thousands of years ago... This is still an unbelievable situation.

"Thousands of years ago, then your age..." Fu Yuan, sighing slightly, suddenly fell silent. He noticed that Scáthach had opened her bewitching, beautiful eyes and was staring at him with a very dangerous gaze.

"Speak, continue what you were about to say," Scáthach said, fixing her gaze on Fu Yuan.

"Then you must be very old."

This was what Fu Yuan originally intended to say...

However, Fu Yuan remembered that his Daily Quest was to gain the recognition and approval of the Queen of the Land of Shadows. To avoid making his quest more difficult, Fu Yuan changed his words.

Changing his tune, Fu Yuan said, "What I was going to say was, after living for so long, you still look so young and beautiful. You look just like a vibrant twenty-year-old girl."

"Is that so?" Scáthach said slowly.

"Yes," Fu Yuan confirmed earnestly.

Scáthach looked at Fu Yuan, who showed no pretense of falsehood. She slowly closed her eyes and returned to her resting state.

Although that last sentence wasn't what Fu Yuan originally intended to say, he genuinely thought Scáthach looked young and beautiful, not at all like an old woman who had lived for thousands of years.

Chapter 22: The Queen's Desire and Wish [4]

Scáthach looked incredibly young.

This was because she, as a human, had slain gods and the undead, thus stepping into the divine realm.

As a result, Scáthach was afflicted with countless curses. One of these curses was similar to the immortality of a god, a curse that allowed her to remain young and immortal, living forever.

Therefore, whether it was thousands or tens of thousands of years, Scáthach would not age, maintaining her current beautiful and enchanting appearance.

She, Scáthach, had a dream!

That dream was to find someone who could kill her.

It sounds incredible, doesn't it? Why would her dream be to find someone who could kill her?

Because Scáthach, having become a demigod, would not face death like a human.

Whether it was a beautiful death or an ugly death.

She could only remain in the Land of Shadows forever, only to vanish when the inner world and the outer world were simultaneously destroyed.

However, Scáthach's essence was still that of a warrior.

Scáthach, who considered herself a 'warrior,' did not wish to vanish in such a boring manner.

Because if a warrior were to die, they should be killed in battle, in a duel.

Scáthach opened her eyes again, which had been closed. She looked at the handsome man driving the car, and a hint of an unidentifiable emotion flickered in her beautiful eyes.

Now... Scáthach believed she had found someone who 'might' be able to kill her.

That person was Fu Yuan.

Firstly, Scáthach, who possessed the 'Wisdom of the Mystic Realm,' could not see Fu Yuan's past or future.

Because she couldn't see Fu Yuan's background, Scáthach didn't know if he possessed the power to kill her.

Therefore, Scáthach was now yearning and anticipating, hoping that this handsome man could bring her surprise and unexpectedness.

The future generates anticipation and hope precisely because it is unknowable.

Scáthach was currently in this delicate state of anticipation. Her heart, which had been like stagnant water, began to ripple because of Fu Yuan.

One didn't know if Fu Yuan could make this Queen of the Land of Shadows, who had been lonely for thousands of years, feel 'passionate.'

If the Queen of the Land of Shadows, who had been dormant for thousands of years, became passionate, she would likely be as powerful and unstoppable as an erupting volcano.

I wonder if this man I can't see through possesses the ability to kill me... If not, I'll have to train [teach] him, to make him grow to a point where he's capable of killing me. Scáthach thought to herself.

Having finally encountered someone whose future she couldn't see, Scáthach didn't want to let him go.

Scáthach believed that even if Fu Yuan didn't have the power to kill her now, he might possess the power to kill her in the future.

Thus, Scáthach developed the peculiar idea: 'If Fu Yuan doesn't have the power to kill me, then I will personally teach him, so he gains the power to kill me.'

Scáthach, who had been cursed in various ways for slaying gods, yearned to be killed by someone. In her eyes, being killed by someone was equivalent to being saved.

Wishing to be killed = Receiving salvation [release].

And Fu Yuan, who was being stared at by Scáthach, felt uncomfortable, as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

It wasn't just Scáthach's senses that were sharp; Fu Yuan's were equally keen.

So Fu Yuan knew Scáthach was staring at him, and the glint of interest in her bewitching eyes made him extremely uneasy.

Right now, Fu Yuan felt that this enchanting and alluring Queen seemed to want to strip off all the clothes he was wearing and then examine every inch of his body, piece by piece.

For this feeling, Fu Yuan could only think of two words to describe it.

That was 'desire.'

Although Fu Yuan knew that using these two words to describe a stunningly beautiful and enchanting woman was disrespectful.

But forgive him, under Scáthach's 'fiery' gaze, these were the only two words Fu Yuan could think of to describe her.

After about twenty minutes of driving, Fu Yuan and Scáthach arrived at the foot of Mount Ensō, and it was then that Scáthach looked in a certain direction on the mountain.

"What's wrong?" Fu Yuan asked in surprise, looking at Scáthach's sudden strange reaction.

"On the west side of this mountain, there are layers of Magic Barriers set up, seemingly protecting something," Scáthach said slowly, her cherry lips parting as she explained what she sensed.

Fu Yuan was slightly taken aback, and then he quickly understood what the Magic Barriers Scáthach felt were.
