Chapter 13: I Don't Want to Go Back to the Hall of Heroes Yet

Looking at Mash, who was exhausted, Cú Chulainn narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Little girl, is your will to protect your Master that fragile? Fine, if you still can't unleash your Noble Phantasm, I won't hesitate to kill you and your Master together!"

As soon as Cú Chulainn spoke, everyone exploded.

"What are you talking about? What does this have to do with Su Mo!"

The Director stepped forward to stop Cú Chulainn. In her opinion, Mash's inability to release her Noble Phantasm didn't warrant risking Su Mo's life.

"Master, shall I teach this disrespectful Servant a lesson? Just support me a little, and I can burn this trash to death in an instant!"

Kiyohime glared at Cú Chulainn with a dark expression, her words filled with killing intent.

"Kiyohime, don't cause trouble. Don't make a move no matter what danger I encounter later. This is an order!" Su Mo commanded with a headache.

"I... I understand." Kiyohime stared at Su Mo for a long time. Realizing she couldn't change his decision, she reluctantly retreated to the side.

Am I really doing the right thing by trusting Mash so much?

Su Mo looked at Mash in silence but finally gave her an encouraging look. Everything was understood without words.

"Senpai... me?" Mash was incredibly touched. It was true; Su Mo was risking his life to train her, a Servant who was "flawed." It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved.

"Even if I'm a fake Servant, nameless Heroic Spirit, please lend me the strength to protect Senpai!"

Mash gripped her shield tightly. Although she was utterly exhausted, her eyes were more determined than ever before. The resolve to protect Su Mo was so strong!

"Then, let's begin a true battle between Servants!"

Cú Chulainn etched golden, shining Rune Magic symbols in the air, chanting incomprehensible incantations.

"My magic is the Flame Cage, like a thorny Green Giant. Retribution, purification of human affairs -- sacrificial offering of destruction! Come, returning all to dust without questioning good or evil!"

As the last word of the incantation fell, Cú Chulainn swung his baseball bat towards Su Mo and Mash. A giant engulfed in blazing flames burst from the ground of the training field, appearing before everyone!

"Holy crap... that dog mage is actually using a Noble Phantasm!"

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from the fire giant, Su Mo couldn't stay calm. He quickly raised his hand and cast a Divine Command skill on himself and Mash to steady their nerves.

"Hey, Master, didn't we agree not to use skills to help the little girl's defense? How is she supposed to train like this?" Cú Chulainn roared indignantly.

"Shut up, I don't want to go back to the Hall of Heroes yet!!!" Su Mo glared at him fiercely. Cú Chulainn immediately swallowed the words in his throat, looking like he had grievances he couldn't express.

Thus, during the 10 minutes of the Divine Command effect, Mash felt her strength recover, and the sense of crisis wasn't as strong. She held her shield, blocking wave after wave of Cú Chulainn's Noble Phantasms.

However, Mash also realized that the effect of Su Mo's support wasn't permanent. As the skill was about to disappear, the intense sense of crisis filled her heart again.

Glancing at Su Mo, who looked uneasy, Mash gritted her teeth. "I must protect Senpai. Nameless Heroic Spirit, lend me your strength, lend me the strength to protect Senpai!!!!"

The burning fist of the flame giant swung towards Mash and Su Mo with terrifying heat. The next moment!

A miracle happened. Mash's firm belief in protecting what was important finally resonated with the shield in her hand. This resonance spread outwards from the shield, forming an invisible wall emitting pure white light, blocking all the attacks from the flame giant!

"Damn it, your Round Table's dinner table finally woke up, crap! You scared me to death!"

Su Mo clutched his chest, gasping for breath. He looked at the shield in Mash's hand and complained fiercely. As an FGO player, how could he not know that the Heroic Spirit fused with Mash was Galahad? And the shield in Mash's hand was the Round Table's dinner table. He just didn't expect this dinner table to be so sensitive. It only "woke up" when he was about to die.
