Euryale / Topples at a Touch

"..." Jeanne d'Arc sighed helplessly. She had never heard of a hero named Mikaela in history.

This name sounds like a fake name, as if it was chosen to fit into society, which is why she doesn't believe it.

"Hey, you're back?"

At this moment, Red Hare and Red A also dismounted, with Medusa standing beside them.

Medusa was badly injured at the moment. She put her blindfold back on and stood obediently in place.

"After Vlad III died, she gave up resisting, and I didn't know what to do, so I had no choice but to bring her here," Red A explained as he walked to Mikaela's side.

"Give up resistance?" Mikaela looked at Medusa, somewhat puzzled. "Are you surrendering?"

"Why are you able to transform into Brynhildr?" Medusa looked at Mikaela and said calmly, "I spent some time with Valkyrie, and I can say that among the Black Faction Servant, I am the one who understands her the most."

"If it weren't for the real Brynhildr, we would never have let her betray us."

"?? Just for this?" Mikaela looked at Medusa with a strange expression and said, "Your wish isn't to see your sisters, is it?"

Medusa remained silent, but finally nodded.

P. S.: "I'm fully recovered. That's all for now, back to writing."

PS: First update

Chapter 240 Euryale (Second Update)

Medusa can be described as a very tragic figure.

She did nothing, yet she was persecuted by Athena and banished to the "Shapeless Isle" near the Golden Apple Island.

Similarly, her two older sisters, who had always been harsh and abusive towards her, also went to the Island of No Return with her, Shapeless Isle reasons such as "If you leave, who will clean for us?" and "Without you, wouldn't we have to cook for ourselves?"

While it may seem that Medusa followed her to the 'Shapeless Isle' for her own benefit, Medusa herself knew in her heart that her two older sisters were worried about her, which was why they gave up their goddess status and followed her to the island where there was nothing.

This is why the three sisters were called "Gorgon," monsters feared even by the gods, and heroes constantly came to challenge them. Medusa, in order to protect her two sisters, continuously killed the attacking heroes, transforming herself into a killer.

As a result, Medusa's divinity diminished, and she went mad more and more often, until finally... she transformed into a true monster— the Gorgon.

And she did something she could never forgive herself for: she couldn't forgive herself for turning into a monster!

If she saw Gorgon during the Holy Grail War, she would absolutely give everything to kill him!

Even if Gorgon was herself.

"...Then it's fine if it's only one side." Medusa lowered her head and said in a very calm voice, "Now I am the only Black Faction Servant. I am no match for you, so it is only right that I surrender."

Medusa's sincere words seemed to move her Master decisively used Command Seal to activate Medusa's Noble Phantasm! Killing the Red Faction!

"In the name of the Command Seal, cancel the Noble Phantasm." Jeanne d'Arc d'Arc spoke decisively, using her Ruler class to make Medusa give up using the Noble Phantasm.

"Thank you." Medusa gave up releasing her Noble Phantasm, and said calmly, "Now I am free. My Master has used up all three Command Seal, but my contract with her has not been broken, so..."

Medusa looked at Mikaela, who seemed to be both expectant and afraid.

"You will have to help us attack him then." Mikaela also made a request, pointing to the Crown of Wisdom and saying in a very calm tone, "I believe you also know that it is Noble Phantasm that cannot remain in this world."

"I..." Medusa was about to readily agree.

Mikaela continued, "It's not over yet. For my own reasons, I need your Spirit Origin, just like Valkyrie did."

"I..." Medusa agreed to Mikaela's request, because if she lost her Spirit Origin, that was all that mattered; seeing her sister was far more important!

"And another thing is..." Mikaela seemed to be about to make a third request.

"That's enough! Stop talking nonsense!!!" Cú Chulainn roared, controlling the Willow Man, "I've been holding them off for over an hour!!! Aren't you coming to help? Are you still chatting over there?!"

"But it's no use if we go over there, Lord Cú Chulainn." Hassan of the Arm looked at Cú Chulainn, who was struggling to hold on, and said with some helplessness, "Even if we keep attacking, we can't keep up with his recovery speed, so we have to seize the right opportunity to eliminate him in one fell swoop."

"Mmm-hmm." Red Hare. He found a carrot from somewhere, put it in his mouth and chewed it, saying as he chewed, "The capable should do more. Hang in there a little longer."

"Alright, let's not waste any more time talking." Seeing Cú Chulainn struggling to stay afloat, Mikaela decided not to say anything more and took out two cards.

The cards were printed with images of Stheno and Euryale. Mikaela looked at the stunned Medusa and said calmly, "Which one do you want to see? I can conjure one up for you."

"Huh?!"

This is somewhat different from what Medusa had imagined. Logically speaking... shouldn't the other party have directly summoned her older sister? Why is it a transformation?

"You seem to have some misunderstanding about me." Mikaela shrugged and explained, "I'm not a summoner. My current state is similar to being possessed by a deity. I take on their appearance and gain their power, but I can't access their memories."

"Can we summon both of them together?" Medusa asked tentatively. To be honest, she didn't dare to summon only one.

"..." Mikaela stared at Medusa, sighed, and said in a somewhat subtle tone, "I only have one person. Do you think you can summon two?"

"Choose! It's Stheno, Euryale!!!"

Mikaela placed the cards in front of Medusa, as if drawing initial cards, allowing her to choose her ideal card.

For Medusa, this choice was nothing short of torture! If she chose one of the sisters, then afterwards, the other sister would definitely question her!

'Oh! So you did choose me after all?' Stheno smiled, quite pleased with Medusa's choice.

'You've gotten bolder, haven't you? You definitely need to be properly disciplined!' Euryale revealed a cruel smile.

NO!!!!!

Seemingly contemplating something terrifying, Medusa felt utterly unable to extend her hand; choosing either option meant certain death!

"...Fine, I'll choose for you." Seeing Medusa's hesitant expression, Mikaela sighed and directly chose her second sister, Euryale.

After all, his second sister had helped him a lot in the game, so Mikaela's choice of her now was also driven by personal motives.

As for the eldest sister... well! Even Merlin couldn't lift her up! Forget about her! A disgrace to the Gold Card!

"Wait! I'm not ready yet!"

Medusa instinctively tried to stop Mikaela, but it was too late. Mikaela had already crushed the card and was radiating a dazzling light.

Meanwhile, having had the experience of having Brynhildr possess her, Mikaela emptied her mind as she crushed the card, allowing the other party to enter her body and have a 'friendly conversation' with her sister.

"Huh? Where am I?"

At this moment, Mikaela had transformed into Euryale. She looked around in surprise, as if she didn't understand why she was there.

Then, as if she had gained knowledge from the Servant, Euryale also gained corresponding memories from Mikaela. She seemed to understand something, looked at Medusa with a somewhat subtle gaze, and finally revealed a devilish smile.

"!!!!"

Medusa's heart clenched at that smile! She knew it all too well! It was definitely her older sister, without a doubt, because whenever she showed that smile, she was sure to do something.

Moreover! It's definitely not a good thing!

"Oh~ Silly sister? It's been a long time." Euryale looked at Medusa, whose figure was still as tall as ever, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "And you actually dared to make me look up at you, that's unforgivable..."

Before Euryale could finish speaking, Medusa immediately abandoned her dignity, half-squatting down to show that she had no intention of making her sister look up to her.

PS: "Second update."

Chapter 241 Falls Down When Touched (Third update)

After a friendly conversation, Mikaela returned to his normal self. He looked at Medusa with a somewhat subtle gaze and calmly said, "If the Black Faction saw what you looked like just now, they would be utterly shocked."

In fact, not only the Black Faction, but even the Red Faction was surprised by Medusa's performance. She had always acted like a cool and aloof older sister, and even when she surrendered, she showed a very calm attitude.

Both Red Hare and Sigurd acknowledged that she was a highly qualified warrior (general).

Then, after her sister appeared, this composed female warrior suddenly transformed into a... humble slave? Or perhaps a sycophant?

"This is just normal playfulness." Medusa breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mikaela return to her original form, but she was still worried because the other woman carried the aura of her older sister.

Medusa spoke to Mikaela in a softer tone, maintaining a humble attitude so that the other would not look up to her.

"Alright, everyone, let's begin to eliminate the last enemy..."

After fulfilling Medusa's wish, Mikaela turned her attention to Cú Chulainn, who was struggling to hold on for a long time.

If Cú Chulainn hadn't activated his Noble Phantasm —Wicker Man—which temporarily blocked the Crown of Wisdom, the outcome of this battle would have been far more uncertain.

After all, a giant who can walk around at will, along with the powerful Siegfried and Vlad III, is enough to make the Red Faction pay a heavy price.

Fortunately, Cú Chulainn was clever enough to use his Noble Phantasm directly, using the tall figure of the Willow Man to temporarily block the Crown of Wisdom.

By allowing the other Servant to freely unleash their full potential, the enemy was completely wiped out, leaving the Black Faction with only the Crown of Wisdom's Noble Phantasm.

"I believe you've already found the solution." With all her Servant by her side, Mikaela approached Cú Chulainn with a relaxed air. Cú Chulainn was currently holding his staff, persistently controlling his Noble Phantasm to prevent the Crown of Wisdom from running amok.

"Saber, you bastard."

Cú Chulainn revealed a rather fierce expression, but he was too lazy to say anything now. Although he was helpless about Mikaela slacking off, she had unconditionally given him the Gae Bulg to use, so he couldn't complain.

"Hurry up and tell me, I'm a little hungry." Mikaela ignored Cú Chulainn's fierce expression. He rubbed his stomach. After a night of fighting, he was a little hungry. He wanted to finish the Crown of Wisdom and have a midnight snack.

"Ugh, never mind, never mind." Cú Chulainn shook his head, looked at the Crown of Wisdom, and said calmly, "First, we need to find a way to get him off the ground so that we can inflict real damage on him."

"This guy is really tough."

Red Hare nodded slightly. He had just seen Cú Chulainn struggling so much, and even attacked Crown of Wisdom, only to find that although his attack was effective, the opponent recovered quickly.

This self-healing ability is many times stronger than Vlad III's!

No matter what kind of attack it is, it cannot cause him any real harm!

The Crown of Wisdom is blessed by the earth and will never be destroyed as long as its feet remain attached to the earth!

However, if he is separated from the earth, the damage inflicted on him by other Servant will take effect, and although his injuries will heal, they will not be as severe as before.

"So, as long as we can briefly lift him off the ground and simultaneously attack his core and head, inflicting fatal damage, he will naturally be destroyed."

By now, everyone understands that inflicting fatal wounds on the furnace core and head is simple; the key is... how to get this giant off the ground?

The opponent is incredibly large. Even if you wanted to use Noble Phantasm to sever its leg in an instant, its regenerative abilities are undeniable. Even if you were to use a beam attack on its leg, it would likely be blocked by the opponent, maintaining a balance between destruction and recovery.

So in a sense, there's really no way to solve this unless you create a giant of the same size with terrifying strength and throw him into the sky.

In that case, perhaps the only option is to ask Ultraman from Nebula M78.

"I'll attack his legs, you guys take care of the core and head." Mikaela calmly crushed the card, and a knight's lance appeared in his hand. He looked at the other Servant and said calmly, "This Noble Phantasm can temporarily deprive him of the ability to recover from 'Paradise'."

"Oh?" Cú Chulainn looked at Mikaela with interest, half-jokingly saying, "Why do you seem to have everything? Are you the legendary Noble Phantasm collector?"

"Enough talk, let's begin!" Mikaela glanced at the Servant behind her, then gripped her knight's lance and charged forward.

"Noble Phantasm - Falls Down When Touched!!"

Mikaela and released the true name of his Noble Phantasm. Although it was somewhat speechless, it was indeed the true name of the Noble Phantasm.

This Noble Phantasm originally belonged to the knight Argalia, but during a competition, Astolfo's lance was destroyed. So, in a daze, he found a brand new lance and, in the manner of saying, "Ah, here's a lance," stole Argalia's lance without informing him.

Therefore, this Noble Phantasm also belongs to Astolfo in a certain sense.

Just like its name suggests, the Noble Phantasm can forcibly atomize the opponent's body below the knees or cause them to fall. No matter where it touches the body (even armor woven with magic), the spear will forcibly cut off the magic supply to the area below the knees, making the reconstruction of the body impossible for a period of time.

Even if the opponent is the Crown of Wisdom, it's the same; this point also appeared in the original work.

"Roar!!!" Crown of Wisdom's body seemed to grow to twice its original size. After his body grew larger once again, he roared and then punched the Willow Man who had trapped him for two hours, sending him flying.

"Right now!"

Mikaela charged past the giant at incredible speed, and in that instant, he slashed his spear across the legs of Crown of Wisdom.

"Imaginary Number Space Collapse!"

"Gram: Gram!"

"The Bellerophon!"

"The Pseudo- Army God Five Weapons!"

"Zabaniya!"

As the giant collapsed, having lost both legs, the Servant unleashed their Noble Phantasm, attacking the head and core of the Crown of Wisdom.

With a loud 'boom', the Crown of Wisdom exploded.
