Fu Fu and Merlin Are Mortal Enemies!
Alcides didn't move an inch, completely ignoring the arrow, letting it hit him.
"You should know that this weapon is useless against me."
"Besides, your archery skills are terrible!"
Alcides was qualified to say such a thing; he had just fought Chiron, and compared to this arrow, the difference was vast.
If he wants to, it's not entirely impossible for him to avoid it.
The true Rider, Hippolyta, appears in the underground factory, her wrist wrapped with the belt of the god of war.
As the Amazon Queen, this is the product of her father Ares's banner being transformed into a belt, which greatly enhances her strength.
In fact, Alcides also possessed this belt of the god of war, but he used it in a different way.
Hippolyta knew she couldn't hurt Alcides with weapons, so she turned to close combat, her angry fists slamming into Alcides.
Alcides smiled contemptuously and retaliated without hesitation.
"I could kill you once when I was alive, and I can kill you again now!"
The battle between the two unfolded in an underground factory on the remote outskirts of Snowfield.
The loud noise instantly caused a commotion; even in the daytime, this remote place still has a large number of people.
Ordinary citizens are constantly fleeing the city. There have been too many accidents in the city recently, and even if they don't know what is happening, they still instinctively choose to stay away.
"Let's go, let's go take a look!"
Yuxian and his group headed in the opposite direction of the fleeing crowd towards the scene of the incident.
At this time, any major disturbance in the city is most likely caused by the Holy Grail War.
The so-called secrecy vanished on the very first day.
Boom!
A massive collapse occurred; the underground factory crumbled into a huge hole during the battle between Alcides and Hippolyta.
"It's Alcides. Who is the Heroic Spirit fighting him?"
When Yuxian arrived, the place was already devastated, with only two figures fighting amidst the rising dust.
Alcides had the upper hand and seemed to be in complete control.
But Hippolyta gritted her teeth and refused to back down, supporting herself with her tenacious will and unwavering determination.
Should we go and help?
The children were eager to try; they still remembered the grudge against Alcides and were unwilling to let such a good opportunity slip by.
Yuxian shook his head and warned, "Don't do anything reckless."
He didn't want to fight Alcides here, especially since it was daytime and the battle could spread too far, which wouldn't be a good thing.
"Let's see how things go first."
Meanwhile, Francesca, who had noticed the battle, said to the real Caster beside her, "Go and stop it, and while you're at it, see if that child is really Jeanne-chan."
The real Caster is Francesca herself, François Plelatti.
He poured all the snacks in his hand into his mouth and swallowed them down with a slurping sound.
"You really know how to order people around. You're just like me."
Francheska swung her legs, leisurely munching on snacks. "Aren't you curious? If it really is Jeanne-chan, that would be so interesting! Hehehe..."
François scratched his head. "I've never actually seen Jeanne-chan when she was little. After all, she grew up in the countryside and was already a grown woman when she joined the army!"
"Right, right, hurry up and go!" Francesca urged.
François chuckled softly, "Then I'll have to prepare a special entrance ceremony to leave a good impression on Little Jeanne of Arc."
With that, he leaped from the sky.
Francesca's Magecraft workshop remained above Snowfield, François flew straight toward the location of the underground factory, his descent accelerating faster and faster.
He flew towards the battlefield like a cannonball, and as he approached, everyone realized that this unexpected guest's entrance was quite unusual.
Before anyone could react, François unleashed his Noble Phantasm with a maniacal laugh.
"The Great Abyss City does not exist, therefore the madness of the world will never end!" (Grand Illusion)
Buzz!
The surrounding environment changed instantly; the dilapidated underground factory disappeared and was replaced by an unfamiliar place.
"Bounded Field?"
Yuxian's first thought was of Bounded Field, as the current situation was extremely similar to that of Bounded Field. Moreover, he had just heard the Noble Phantasm shouted by the Servant had flown in.
"Who could be the Servant connected to the Great Abyss City..."
While Yuxian was still wondering and guessing, Fou called out softly.
"Fu—"
As it cried out, ripples appeared in the surrounding environment, just like ripples on the surface of water.
Yuxian's eyes widened in disbelief, "Illusion!!!"
It was an illusion! This level of illusion could almost be considered Bounded Field enchantment.
Throughout Chaldea, he had only ever seen such exquisite illusions with Merlin.
To achieve an illusion so realistic and flawless that it is indistinguishable from reality.
If it weren't for Fou's soft cry just now, he wouldn't have realized that this was actually just an illusion.
Chapter 30, Section 544: I, Fou, am irreconcilably opposed to Merlin!
Yuxian was no stranger to illusion magic; Chaldea had many people skilled in it.
However, Yuxian was still very curious about this large-scale illusionary Noble Phantasm, as its realism was comparable to Merlin's illusions.
It is clear that this is a Servant who excels in illusion magic.
Despite being trapped in an illusion, Yuxian remained calm, especially since he already knew it was an illusion. It wouldn't be easy to harm or launch a sneak attack on them.
"F- Fou!"
Fou's urgent cries rang out again, as if she had sensed something.
At this moment, a figure slowly appeared in front of Yuxian.
"Oh... it can actually affect my illusions." François appeared in front of Yuxian with a smile, looking at Fou with curiosity.
"Fu—!"
Fou jumped off Mash's shoulder, completed a triple somersault in the air, and flew forward in a parabolic arc.
He kicked François in the face.
François was completely unprepared for Fou's sudden outburst and was kicked to the ground by Fou, his eyes blinking rapidly.
He began to question the meaning of life.
"I... got kicked by a pet...?"
He was, after all, a Servant; even a familiar couldn't have knocked him down so easily, yet now he had actually been knocked down.
The fluffy white creature in front of him not only kicked him down, but also bounced around on his face repeatedly, as if it were playing on a trampoline.
Most importantly, he still couldn't get up.
"I'm being suppressed!"
François was utterly shocked.
"F-! Fufufufu, fu!"
Although Yuxian didn't know why Fou was so hostile to the cool-looking Servant in front of him, it didn't stop him from watching the show from the sidelines, letting Fou jump around on François's face.
"You are... Lord Kay... Kaysi Pa**!?"
François finally found his memories of Fou deep in his mind; she was his master's master, Merlin's familiar, Kaysi Pa**.
"Fu?"
When Fou heard François call her name, she stopped bouncing and tilted her head in surprise.
Then it jumped even more fiercely, "Fou! Fu, Fou! Fu!"
Originally, Fou only kicked because she sensed a trace of Merlin's aura on the person beneath her feet. Now that the other party actually recognized her, it proved that she hadn't mistaken him for someone else.
Fou wouldn't stand on ceremony.
There isn't a single good person associated with Merlin!
Prepare for my punitive kick, Fou!
"No! Lord Kaysi Pa**!" François pleaded. "Is Lord Merlin here? He must be hiding somewhere, right?"
Huh? You actually dare to Merlin?
Don't you know that I, Kaysi Pa**, and Merlin are sworn enemies?!
Fou kicked wildly, leaving countless footprints on François's face.
Yuxian looked at François with pity as he was being ravaged by Fou. This Servant, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, actually Merlin in front of Fou. How pitiful...
It seems to be Servant some connection to Merlin, but since they don't know the story of Merlin and Fou, their relationship must not be very close.
Inside the Magecraft workshop high in the sky, Francesca clutched her stomach, kicked her legs wildly, and laughed until tears streamed down her face.
"Hahaha... hahaha... ha... ha..."
"He actually got his face covered in footprints from Lord Kaysi Pa**... Hahaha... Hehehe..."
"How lame... How ridiculous... How funny..."
"They even said they'd make a grand entrance, how interesting!"
"Magnificent...truly magnificent...incredibly magnificent...pfft..."
As she laughed, Francesca realized a very serious problem, and her smile temporarily faded.
"Isn't he just like me? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to laugh at myself like that?"
Francesca tapped her chin with her finger, thought seriously for a second, and then burst into laughter.
"Whatever... whatever... it's just too funny... haha..."
Laughter echoed continuously, and you could even hear that Francesca was struggling to catch her breath. No one else could laugh like that at themselves.
After venting her anger, Fou let François go and returned to Mash's shoulder.
It felt a little tired, so it simply lay down, but its face showed great spirits, clearly indicating that it had had a great time stomping.
François stood up with a blank look in his eyes, his face covered with Fou's little footprints, which made people laugh.
"Why is Lord Kaysi Pa** here?"
He asked with an innocent expression, while glancing at Fou out of the corner of his eye.
"You mean Fou? She's Mash's little sidekick now," Yuxian explained with a smile.
François paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Isn't it Lord Merlin's familiar?"
"Fu!"
Upon hearing this, Fou showed signs of standing up again. Seeing this, François's expression changed drastically, and he took a step back as if facing a formidable enemy.
Mash quickly stroked Fou a few times to signal her to be quiet.
Fou shook her body, lay down again, and stopped moving.
François let out a long sigh. He really didn't want to be pinned to the ground and trampled on again. Although there was no real harm done, it would still be too humiliating.
Yuxian curled the corners of his lips and said, "Since you know Merlin, haven't you heard about the falling out between Merlin and Fou?"
