In just two exchanges, the wooden sword in both hands knocked the wooden spear away, followed by a horizontal slash that sent the Artificial Lifeform flying.
"Weak! Weak! Weak!"
Mordred rested the wooden sword on her shoulder and looked down at the Artificial Lifeform on the ground.
The silver-haired Artificial Lifeform with shoulder-length hair was named Dur. She was the leader of the Artificial Lifeforms of the Kaiser Family and commander of their combat forces.
Although she possessed top-tier combat skills and physical abilities among the Artificial Lifeforms, she still couldn't withstand Mordred's slashes—even though the Rebellious Knight had swung that sword merely in play.
"...Urgh."
Dur rose with the help of her companions, and Mordred snorted disdainfully.
"Weaklings like you want to stay here and participate in the Holy Grail War?
"Don't make me laugh. Hurry up and find a hole to hide in... There's no place here for trash like you."
Not long ago, Fiore, acting head of the Kaiser Family, had announced that she would cancel the Artificial Lifeforms' compulsory participation.
She had given the Artificial Lifeforms the right to choose for themselves. They could leave on their own, or choose to continue serving Yggdmillennia.
Dur had chosen the latter—
However, as an Artificial Lifeform designed for combat, she wasn't good at housework. Even if she stayed, all she could do was continue fighting.
After hearing about this, Mordred had come over on her own without telling Shirou.
Using "a sparring match" as an excuse, she had forcibly demanded that the Artificial Lifeforms train with her, then beaten every Artificial Lifeform combatant, including Dur, into the ground.
Her purpose—of course—was to make them stop meddling in the Holy Grail War.
"Compared to fighting, I think raising children for humans would suit you much better, hahahaha!"
"...!"
Dur
