In the final battle in the forest, Cú Chulainn cut countless trees as thick as bowls into strips.

However, to use the words of the Cursed Arm, Cú Chulainn was merely making a death throes.

Cú Chulainn delayed killing him to obtain information about his Cursed Arm, but wasn't he also exploiting this very mentality to lure him into a trap?

But Cú Chulainn's warrior instincts were not to be underestimated. Realizing that the "shadow" was not to be trifled with, he immediately decided to finish the fight quickly.

Gathering intelligence was predicated on ensuring one's own safety; Cú Chulainn had no intention of dying here.

Using his spear for support, Cú Chulainn leaped out of the water in one breath.

On the other side, the shadowy figure wearing a skull mask also extended its demonic arm.

"Your heart—I'll take it!"*2

Almost simultaneously, the two Heroic Spirit uttered the same words.

Pity--

"What?!"

Cú Chulainn watched helplessly as his heart was ripped out of his chest by the hand opposite him.

And so, the powerless spearman's body fell onto the black water.

Thump.

It was as if fish bait had been thrown into a pool, causing the water to churn violently.

Countless black ribbons burst forth from the water, eagerly, ferociously, and brutally devouring the humanoid heroic Heroic Spirit.

"This is... really bad..."

Leaving behind these last words, the blue-clad spearman's body was completely swallowed by black.

On the lake, the black-clad assassin gazed gleefully at the scene before him, and contentedly swallowed his spoils—the heart of the Heroic Spirit named Lancer.

The noise returned to silence, both on and off screen.

Chapter 153 Kirei Kotomine: Maronpo is Maronpo, the more you eat, the better it gets.

Everything happened so fast that not only did Cú Chulainn on TV not react in time, but the viewers watching from behind their screens were also caught off guard.

They had guessed that Lancer would eventually lose, after all, it was impossible for the newly introduced Hassan to be defeated right from the start.

But they did not expect Cú Chulainn's defeat to come so quickly.

Cú Chulainn, who had initially held the upper hand, was suddenly affected by the shadow and prepared to use his Noble Phantasm to finish off the enemy. However, instead of securing the kill, he lost his heart first.

"How exactly did Hassan manage to do that?"

"It seems that the eerie hand used Magecraft to simulate a heart, and then crushed it?"

Azu wasn't entirely sure either; the time it took for the Cursed Arm to activate its Noble Phantasm was too short, and she only caught a fleeting glimpse.

"It seems to be called... Zabaniya (Delusional Heartbeat)?"

Azu frowned as she recalled that even she had never seen such a bizarre Magecraft before.

"I remember that in the lore, all the orthodox Hassan's Noble Phantasm are called Zabaniya, right? Is there anything special about this one?"

"It looks like they're faking heart destruction, and then the heart really is gone... That's a bit twisted."

"Should we go back and watch it again?"

"No, let's postpone the Magecraft research until tomorrow... It's too late to finish watching the TV series now."

Smack

Azu placed her hand on the shoulder of the person who said those words.

"As Magecraft, don't you have a thirst for knowledge about the mysterious? Sleeping and all that can wait until you die; right now, you should be researching Magecraft!"

"... I see."

The other party really wanted to say "no," but Azu's firm attitude clearly showed that she didn't take his thoughts to heart.

"Waaaaah!"

Bound, Aoko struggled to move, as if trying to join the discussion or taking advantage of this rare opportunity to break free.

Azu glancing at Aoko's anxious expression, Yuzhu stretched out her palm, which radiated green magic, and slapped Aoko with a "smack."

The large caterpillar that had been struggling immediately stopped moving.

"Is Miss Aozaki alright?"

Shibamatsu felt that as the conscience of the team, he should care about the situation of the second-in-command (?) within the small group.

Azu calmly replied, "Don't worry, she's just weak. I deliberately controlled my strength so she didn't faint." More novel resources are available in our group.

"Is that so..."

Shibamatsu sensed something was wrong, but he wisely chose to remain silent.

You might as well just knock me out! That way, I could just open my eyes and it would be dawn, and I'd be free!

Aoko could do now was roll her eyes frantically. She felt that if this happened a few more times, she could go to the Hyuga clan in the Hyuga Clan ancestors.

Under Azu's powerful aura, the group of young Magecraft wisely chose to ignore Aoko and began to repeatedly watch the footage of Cú Chulainn's defeat.

So the scene of the Doggy having its heart ripped out was repeated over and over again in the club, until all the Magecraft had the image imprinted in their minds.

Although the scene of the battle only lasted a few seconds, those present were all young talents in the Japan Mage world. After watching it repeatedly, they were able to analyze some information.

Of course, the Azu others were able to conduct their analysis was largely due to the fact that Second Master filmed the movie strictly according to Magecraft theory.

It's a pity that the Cursed Arm Master wasn't summoned, but Shinji still tried his best to recreate all of his abilities.

We have to restore it. This world has a mysterious side, and even though the mystery has faded considerably, there are still gods watching over us. Second Master felt he should still show some reverence.

Otherwise, what if one night, a demon dressed in black armor, speaking with a Middle Eastern accent, but with the voice of Father Mapi appears at the Matou Residence?

"You dared to tamper with Zabaniya? Hand over your head!"

Just imagining that scene sent chills down Shinji.

He didn't want to die!

Azu didn't know the reason why Second Master followed his heart; all they knew Shinji Matou was incredibly kind, managing to recreate these lost Magecraft one by one in film and television works.

"This kind of Noble Phantasm, which can only attack the heart, is actually quite weak after you learn about it!"

After watching it repeatedly, Shibamatsu expressed his feelings.

"Putting everything else aside, judging from the situation, this Noble Phantasm can only be activated within the range of that arm. Although the arm is very long, it is still just an arm after all."

You're right.

A man named Fujita standing nearby nodded. "But the problem is, aside from Archer, most Heroic Spirit would have to engage in close combat with Hassan, right?"

"Given the mobility of Heroic Spirit, most Servants can escape the battlefield before he activates his Noble Phantasm, right? Cú Chulainn died because he was held back by the shadowy figure," Shibamatsu retorted instinctively.

"Actually, it's not just a matter of attack range. This arm can only attack the heart. If it's someone like Kirei Kotomine who doesn't have a heart, this Noble Phantasm is completely useless, right?"

Azu gave a simple example: she didn't know she had unintentionally predicted something.

Fujita tapped his palm. "I see. Cú Chulainn's chances of defeating this guy aren't even as high as his own Master's. He's truly a disgrace to the Heroic Spirit."

"Heroic Spirit with a bugged Noble Phantasm like this is an exception, isn't it?" Shibamatsu curled his lip. "Besides, it's not like Kirei Kotomine will win more easily Cú Chulainn. Maybe Hassan can kill that scoundrel priest without even using his Noble Phantasm."

"It's hard to say."

Fujita discussed with Shibamatsu in a serious tone, "Kirei Kotomine's combat strength is not bad. The gap between Heroic Spirit and humans is not as big as you think. Otherwise, how could Shirou Emiya have killed Gilgamesh?"

"Where did he die? Lord Gilgamesh only lost an arm! Lord Gilgamesh lost to the shameless Archer's sneak attack!" a young woman retorted loudly.

It's clear that this person is a Gilgamesh fan.

What's the difference?

That's what he thought in his heart, but Fujita still nodded in agreement. "You're right!"

"Speaking of which, Lancer's luck is just too bad," Shibamatsu sighed. "The setting book clearly said he could win a normal Holy Grail War, but in all three versions of FSN, he died in a more frustrating way than the last."

"Otherwise, why would his luck be E? It's all a predetermined ending."

"Is there such a saying?!"

Shibamatsu's eyes widened, and he nodded in sudden realization.

"As expected, luck is very important."

Fujita smirked smugly. "Of course, luck is the most important statistic for Heroic Spirit! Look at Saber, although she drew a terrible lot, and Shirou Emiya as her Master is practically unqualified, she was lucky enough to win all three completely different Holy Grail War routes."

"No, right?" Shibamatsu retorted, "Isn't this HF event still going on?"

"What's the difference? As the female lead, Saber certainly won't lose!" Fujita waved his hand.

"Isn't the female lead Matou Sakura?"

"Besides the stench of romance, what makes her resemble a female lead?" Fujita chuckled. "Tohsaka Rin has more presence than her; at least she has legs, legs, and more legs."

("Tsk, I suddenly feel really annoyed." Sakura glared at her brother, who seemed completely oblivious to the danger.)

"It's a good thing Lancer died early," Shibamatsu said thankfully. "Otherwise, the mess he made along the way would have definitely caused his Master Kirei Kotomine's, blood pressure to skyrocket."

The thought of Kirei Kotomine having to deal with the "gas explosion" caused by Cú Chulainn's fight made Shibamatsu feel a little sorry for that Mapo Tofu.

"Idiot, Kirei Kotomine doesn't even have a heartbeat, where would he get blood pressure from? At most, he just has a perforated stomach."

"Who knows? Anyway, it's better if that stinky priest leaves sooner rather than later."

Having already seen two versions of FSN, the young Magecraft who know he's utterly corrupt all think it's good that Kirei Kotomine left the stage sooner rather than later.

After all, this priest who pursues pleasure is very unpleasant to behold. The pursuit of the root is a long-held aspiration of the entire community among Magecraft, but this priest is doing it entirely out of selfish desire.

Such a character might seem charming to outsiders, but to Magecraft, it's practically the opposite of what they seem.

Unfortunately, this priest is far from being ready to retire.

Instead, the priest even appeared at a Chinese restaurant and performed a food show called "A Bite of Mapo Tofu" for everyone.

"Ugh... I can't take it anymore, let's go in quickly," Cú Chulainn said, covering his mouth. "I'm allergic to this stuff, just looking at it makes me uncomfortable."

"I agree."

Gilgamesh nodded repeatedly. "Kibo is right. Anyway, we already know what Kirei said, so let's fast forward."

"Yes, yes, yes! Fast forward, fast forward, my tongue is starting to go numb."

Yan Qing, Red A, and the others exchanged glances, all seeing the agreement in each other's eyes.

"Then... shall we fast forward?"

Enkidu with great hesitation, but his hand speed in pressing the remote control was anything but slow.

The male Heroic Spirit remained relatively calm, but Artoria at the Matou Residence fast-forwarded through the entire scene as soon as she saw the sign for [Red Sea Banquet Hall - Mount Tai].

"Master, you wouldn't want me to feel nauseous and throw up all over you in the middle of the night, would you?"

With her eyes fixed on Shinji, who seemed about to speak but hesitated, Artoria threatened him.

Meanwhile, at the church in Fuyuki City.

"Mmm... it smells so good."

Kirei Kotomine ate his Mapo Tofu slowly and deliberately—both on and off screen!

"Watching myself eat Mapo Tofu, the more I eat, the more I want! Indeed, Mapo Tofu is the most perfect food in the world... I'll bring each of them a local specialty tomorrow."

Kirei Kotomine said with a half-smile, "As for the flavor... how about Hellfire Extreme Spicy MAX?"

"Damn! It's so cold!" *N

The Magecraft and Heroic Spirit of Fuyuki City simultaneously shuddered.

Chapter 154 Black Saber: Tell Black Jeanne that I'm on TV

I didn't realize it when I watched the Heaven's Feel movie, but after watching Shinji and rewatching the game, I discovered that the movie's plot had been changed quite a bit.

The outline and storyline still follow the original work, but there are quite a few changes in the details, especially the order of some events. The differences between the theatrical version and the game are very large.

In the movie, immediately after the Cursed Arm kills the Big Dog, Shirou and Rin's two groups encounter Zouken in the park.
