I, Fu Yuan, Will Blow Up the Holy Grail War

Actually, these Skeleton Soldiers aren't as easy to deal with as Scáthach made them out to be... even bullets have a hard time piercing their skulls.

The reason Scáthach crushed the Skeleton Soldiers' heads so easily just now wasn't because they were fragile... it was simply because Scáthach is too strong.

Fu Yuan shifted his gaze away from Scáthach, glancing at the Skeleton Soldiers surrounding them. "They really do look easy to deal with."

"Yeah~" Scáthach replied with a hint of a pleased smile, crossing her arms. Her ample chest formed a captivating curve between her hands.

Then, with a slight push from her feet, Scáthach leaped up. Her shapely, perky behind landed directly on top of the gate to the Land of Shadows.

Scáthach looked down at Fu Yuan, who was surrounded by the Skeleton Soldiers of the Land of Shadows, from her elevated position.

Sitting atop the gate to the Land of Shadows, Scáthach crossed her legs and spoke with a hint of languor, "Young man named 'Fu Yuan,' you've disappointed me. If you can't even handle these few Skeleton Soldiers, you're not qualified to spar with me."

These few Skeleton Soldiers?

There were probably four to five hundred Skeleton Soldiers emerging from the gate of the Land of Shadows. How could that be described as "a few"?

"Hoo~" Fu Yuan let out a soft breath and said, "Of course, I won't disappoint you."

Scáthach, sitting on the gate of the Land of Shadows, looked at Fu Yuan, who was unarmed. After a moment's thought, she extended her hand. A purplish-red magical glow appeared in her open palm.

Then, the magical glow emanating from Scáthach's palm began to stretch and lengthen. After the magical light dissipated, a scarlet spear appeared in her hand.

Chapter 25: Swift Feather Transformation: Azure Pine

This scarlet spear exuded an extremely ominous aura; it was clearly no ordinary object.

In fact, this spear was named 'Gáe Bolg,' also known as 'Gáe Bolg'.

The tip of Gáe Bolg's spearhead contained thirty sharp barbs. Once it pierced an opponent's body, these thirty sharp barbs would tear them apart from the inside.

Therefore, being struck by Gáe Bolg would leave behind terrible wounds like those from a saw.

For others, such a weapon would be an extremely rare Noble Phantasm.

But for Queen Scáthach of the Land of Shadows, she possessed many identical Gáe Bolg spears in her domain.

Scáthach performed a formidable flourish with the materialized Gáe Bolg and then lightly threw it towards Fu Yuan, who was surrounded by the Skeleton Soldiers.

The thrown scarlet spear pierced through several Skeleton Soldiers blocking its path before embedding itself into the grass beside Fu Yuan with a thwump.

"Here, for you. I saw you didn't have a suitable weapon, so I generously provided one. You should accept it with gratitude," Scáthach said with a smile.

Fu Yuan glanced sideways at the scarlet spear stuck in the grass, then spoke, "I don't need a weapon, because my hands are my weapons."

After saying this, Fu Yuan lightly stomped on the ground, and the scarlet spear embedded in the earth immediately flew up.

Not only did the scarlet spear fly up, but it also incredibly flew back towards Scáthach, who was sitting on the gate of the Land of Shadows.

Seeing the scarlet spear flying back, Scáthach reached out her hand and caught it. Feeling the force transmitted from the scarlet spear, a look of surprise immediately appeared on Scáthach's beautiful face.

This man didn't even touch the Gáe Bolg just now. With a mere stomp on the ground, he made the Gáe Bolg fly back to me... An interesting man. Scáthach's pretty face began to show an expression of 'anticipation.'

Fu Yuan's action just now made Scáthach realize that he was not a weak individual, but someone who could precisely control force.

To make the Gáe Bolg, embedded in the ground, fly back without using his hands... Scáthach was becoming increasingly interested in Fu Yuan.

"Since you don't need the weapon I provided, then so be it," Scáthach casually tossed the returning Gáe Bolg into the gate of the Land of Shadows and said to Fu Yuan, "Are you ready? We're starting now."

Fu Yuan, who had already been prepared, replied, "Bring it on."

"Then let's begin. Let me witness your valor, enigmatic man," Scáthach waved her hand towards Fu Yuan, issuing a command like a queen.

"Skeleton Soldiers of the Land of Shadows, drown him!"

As Scáthach gave the order to attack, the Skeleton Soldiers, wielding their rusty greatswords, began to move. They took steps, and with chilling clack-clack sounds, they started to approach Fu Yuan, who was within the encirclement.

Scáthach, with her legs crossed, sat on the gate of the Land of Shadows, narrowing her enchanting, beautiful eyes. She wanted to see how this inscrutable man would act when facing an onslaught from so many Skeleton Soldiers.

She hoped he wouldn't be overwhelmed by those Skeleton Soldiers and cut down, otherwise Scáthach would be truly disappointed.

Rest assured, Fu Yuan would absolutely not disappoint this peerlessly beautiful queen of the Land of Shadows.

Fu Yuan calmly watched the approaching Skeleton Soldiers, their clack-clack echoing. He assumed a starting stance, his left hand forming a sword shape and his right hand clenched into a fist. This was the posture for Swift Feather Transformation: Azure Pine.

Fu Yuan had previously used this technique to send Matou Zouken flying and then obliterate his entire body.

However... the Swift Feather Transformation: Azure Pine used against Matou Zouken was not its correct application. The correct way to use this technique was to unleash it with one's hands.

To be precise, Swift Feather Transformation: Azure Pine was an attack launched from the hands, from the fists.

The reason Fu Yuan had used his leg back then was simply because he was holding Matou Sakura with one hand and his phone with the other, leaving him no free hand to execute the technique.

Facing the Skeleton Soldiers attacking from all directions, Fu Yuan's expression remained calm. Orange-yellow arcs of electricity began to flow around his body. Seeing this, Scáthach showed a look of surprise.

"What is this? He's activated magecraft without any prelude?" Scáthach asked, slightly surprised, looking at the suddenly changed Fu Yuan.

Scáthach, who had seen much, wouldn't normally be surprised by such a thing, but the change in Fu Yuan was truly incredible.

The fact that Fu Yuan, who appeared to be an ordinary person, transformed into a warrior radiating an imposing aura in the blink of an eye wasn't what truly surprised Scáthach.

What surprised Scáthach was the situation of faint electrical arcs flowing around Fu Yuan's body.

"Hmm... he's currently in a state similar to 'Mana Burst'," Scáthach murmured, observing Fu Yuan.

Mana Burst.

It refers to strengthening one's own weapons or body by consuming mana, thereby gaining immense power.

Simply put, it's about consuming the mana within oneself to enhance oneself.

If it's an A-rank 'Mana Burst,' it can grant a previously weak and frail girl the strength to easily overpower several strong men.

Furthermore, 'Mana Burst' can manifest in various peculiar ways depending on the user.

For example...

When Karna, the Little Sun, uses 'Mana Burst,' his body emits crimson flames.

When Minamoto no Raikou uses 'Mana Burst,' purple lightning appears around her body.

When Artoria uses 'Mana Burst,' an air current swirls around her body.
