The Master's Going to Eat the Shield! / You Tricked My Hero-Did You Think You Could Get Away?

Yuxian silently mourned for Osakabehime. She was persecuted even when she wasn't present. Just how bad was her image in the children's eyes?

"One more thing," Da Vinci continued, "Each group has only one slot to choose a random Servant's ability; you decide for yourselves who will use it."

"I have already selected the battle scene for you. You will appear in different corners of the map at the same time, eliminating each other. The last survivor will be the winner, and the other rankings will be arranged according to the time of survival."

"Now you guys discuss this first. Just a friendly reminder, this isn't a game you can win with brute force alone!"

After explaining the rules in detail, Da Vinci fell silent and waited quietly for their final decision.

"I want to use a random Servant."

"Me too." "Me too."

The children said that randomness was unreliable, but when it came time to decide, they all chose to use the abilities of other Servant.

They are already highly skilled, so of course they want to try new things; that's what makes things interesting and fun.

Others naturally had no choice; compared to Servant, Magus were ultimately slightly weaker.

Only Rin Tohsaka and Sakura Matou are still hesitating; their discussion is no longer just a simple matter between sisters.

Such a fun thing naturally prompted Ishtar and Kama to join in.

Therefore, it is difficult to draw a conclusion in a short time.

Finally, seeing that everyone was waiting for them, the two sisters used an internationally recognized method to resolve their disagreement.

Mora.

At this point, it was no longer a competition between the two sisters, but a competition between two deities.

Ishtar and Kama stared at each other, their eyes flashing with tension.

"One two three!"

"Haha, as expected, my beautiful goddess is still the better one. Cupid is useless."

Ishtar laughed out loud; she had won the rock-paper-scissors game.

Although Kama was unwilling to accept defeat, he had no choice but to admit defeat.

"Alright." Da Vinci said, seeing that everyone had made their choices. "You can start with random matching. And let's make it clear, you can't change your minds."

The screen displays the names of twelve people who need to be matched, and behind their names appear portraits of Servant that keep jumping and flashing.

Everyone watched the constantly changing Servant portraits with bated breath, anticipating the abilities of the next Servant they would use.

Ding ding ding...

Everyone in the living room held their breath; all was silent except for the mechanical sounds constantly playing on the screen.

P. S.: Right now, all I can think about is Berserker Lancelot's Noble Phantasm.

Ar...thur...

It's a pity I'm not Earl, otherwise, my mind would definitely be filled with...

Our journey was from Wenzhou to Canada.

Chapter 77, Section 298: The Master to Eat the Shield!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the flickering on the screen gradually subsided and stopped one by one.

Jack Astolfo

Illya = Shiduri

Little Jeanne d'Arc (Black Jeanne)

Kuro = Semiramis

Gretel = Scathach

Abigail Anastasia

Fujimura Taiga = Panther

Olga Marie = Summer Tamamo

Bazett = Medb

Irisviel = Artoria

Waver = Zhuge Liang

Rin Tohsaka = Ereshkigal

"Whoa!"

Yuxian looked at the names and Servant portraits on the screen and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

If Da Vinci hadn't been secretly manipulating things, Yuxian would have dared to eat Mash's shield on the spot.

Look who these people are!

Irisviel = Artoria? What about Mordred, who's in the same group as her?

Bazett = Medb? Cú Chulainn must be crying!

Waver = Zhuge Liang? Are you sure he and Sima Yi won't fight each other?

Other pairings such as Tamamo Cat and Tamamo no Mae, Ishtar and Ereshkigal, Jeanne d'Arc and Black Jeanne Alter are also very interesting.

And now, the hot-tempered Mordred has already started to quit.

She stared blankly at Artoria's portrait, her face filled with disbelief.

"Huh? Father King? I can win without her help!"

Irisviel couldn't stop smiling. She had a very good impression of Artoria, after all, they were very compatible partners ten years ago.

Da Vinci wouldn't give them a chance to question it; she had already stated that this was an irreplaceable choice.

She quickly said to Scathach, "We can begin now."

Scathach gave Da Vinci a meaningful look, then waved her hand to open a door, letting everyone in.

Inside the door are individual rooms, with each group's equipment placed separately to prevent those who leave first from disturbing others.

Soon everyone appeared on screen, and the competition officially began.

Yuxian and the others sat in the living room to watch.

After Gretel appeared in the virtual scene, she held a red spear in both hands, twirled it, and performed a spear flourish, looking quite professional.

However, her height was disproportionate to the spear; Gae Bolg was almost twice her height, making it look somewhat comical in her hands.

"If you weren't so useless, I would definitely have won this time. I actually drew the best possible lot."

Gretel said to Hans Christian Andersen was standing next to her, with a hint of disdain.

She was certainly very satisfied with drawing Scathach's abilities. As the queen of the Shadow Land, Scathach was undoubtedly very strong, but how much of her potential could Gretel unleash?

This remains unknown, after all, she is not Scathach herself, she does not have Scathach's well-trained body, nor Scathach's profound and wise mind.

In reality, she is still Gretel, only temporarily possessing some of Scathach's abilities. Perhaps her original abilities are not as useful, a point they did not consider.

What is borrowed is ultimately borrowed.

On the other side, Kuro, who shared the same idea, burst into laughter.

"Great hero, we've got this in the bag!"

"Come forth, Hanging Gardens of Babylon of Babylon!"

Without hesitation, Kuro summoned a massive aerial garden fortress, its immense power making no attempt to conceal it, and was clearly noticed by the other participants.

She didn't care. With such an aerial fortress, it was difficult for ordinary people to get close. They could wait and take their time to deal with the others one by one.

Kuro's actions were rough, and she instantly became the focus of everyone present. Groups of people slowly approached her.

She and Arash sat smugly in the heart of the fortress, watching the movements of groups of people.

Having gained the advantage in the air, she was very confident that she could win this competition.

"This is truly a remarkable Noble Phantasm. It seems we've drawn a favorable lot. Is it the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Or is it truly a miraculous existence?"

Arash looked around at the aerial fortress with great interest.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, Kuro is over there! Let's hurry over and find her!"

Jack summoned his Hippogriff, pointed to the fortress in the sky, and was eager to find Kuro.

She climbed onto the Hippogriff and, as was her habit, began to talk to it. She had played with the Hippogriff times before, and they were very familiar with each other.

"Hippogriff Hippogriff."

However, this was just a phantom Hippogriff, not the real Afu's Hippogriff, so it wouldn't react at all. It was like a puppet, completely ignoring Jack's interactions.

Jack pouted in dissatisfaction, somewhat disappointed. This Hippogriff was no good at all; it wouldn't play with her.

King Hassan shook his head. In his opinion, Jack's choice to use the abilities of other Servant was a complete loss.

If she were still the original Jack, King Hassan would be 100% certain of winning this match.

It's easy to imagine how terrifying it would be for two assassins to approach each other silently in such an environment.

However, he did not complain about it. King Hassan stayed by Jack's side and followed her to stand on the Hippogriff's back.

He had a premonition that this time, things would be difficult.

Assassins who cannot move flexibly are significantly less of a threat.

He wielded a greatsword and decided to stop concealing himself. King Hassan had never relied on Presence Concealment to win; he was equally confident in facing his enemies head-on.

Killing everyone you see is also a form of assassination.

The Hippogriff soared high into the air, heading straight for the aerial fortress.

Sniff, sniff.

As soon as Tamamo Cat entered the scene, she kept sniffing around Olga Marie, having just seen what the Servant Olga Marie had drawn looked like.

That is definitely her real-life Tamamo no Mae. Don't think that just because she changed her clothes she wouldn't recognize her. That is definitely Tamamo no Mae.

Tamamo Cat was absolutely certain. She was sniffing Olga Marie's scent, and as soon as she smelled Tamamo no Mae's scent, she would definitely sacrifice her.

"There's no trace of that guy..."

Tamamo Cat stopped what she was doing, looking quite disappointed.

"What are you doing?" Olga Marie was puzzled by Tamamo Cat's actions.

Tamamo Cat pouted and replied, "I thought you really became that guy, but it turns out you were just pretending."

"Speaking of which, you are a tail of Tamamo no Mae. Do you wish to see her?"

Olga Marie clearly knew very little about their relationship.

"Yeah, if I see her, I can ask for her autograph and then perform a blood sacrifice on her!"

Tamamo Cat's unwavering answer surprised Olga Marie.

"Huh? Why is that?"

"Why? What do you mean why? Isn't this just common sense?"

Olga Marie could never have guessed the wild and untamed behavior of Tamamo Cat.
