Illya's Multiverse Odyssey

The luxury car had already been discovered by them the moment it drove out of the castle and into the forest.

So... Su Ning was never in the car at all.

On Heracles' broad shoulders, Su Ning and Chloe sat one on each side. Though the sky had not yet darkened, with magic to avoid the notice of ordinary people, they weren't worried about being discovered by civilians.

Of course, even if they were found, it wouldn't matter.

As everyone knows, the Holy Grail War is conducted in secret~

"If that Medusa dares to show up this time, I'll make sure she doesn't escape again!" Mordred, in spirit form, followed beside Heracles, grinding her teeth as she spoke.

Last night's battle had been a sure win, yet the enemy had managed to flee—a humiliating blow to her pride.

Unfortunately, Medusa did not appear tonight. Instead, Cú Chulainn and Red A showed up.

Kirei Kotomine had not yet revealed his true face, and using his position as Rin Tohsaka's teacher, he kept close tabs on her movements. Thus, he sent Cú Chulainn to probe Red A's identity and abilities.

"Clang-clang-clang—"

On the school field, Red A kept projecting Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, engaging Cú Chulainn in close combat.

For a magus to trade over a hundred exchanges with Cú Chulainn, one had to admit Red A's martial skill was impressive. Still, his base stats were somewhat lacking, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Although Lancer is the fastest of the seven classes, as far as I know, there are no more than three spearmen who possess such speed. And among them, only one has this kind of beast-like instinct and fighting style!"

As a Guardian, Red A quickly identified Cú Chulainn's identity. After all, Cú Chulainn's legend as a spearman was quite famous.

But Su Ning didn't buy that he was among the top three spearmen in speed.

"Cú Chulainn's speed is top three among spearmen? Where do you put Scathach, Karna, Li Shuwen, and Achilles? Any of them could wipe the floor with Cú Chulainn! Even Diarmuid from the Fourth War has better martial skill than Cú Chulainn..." Su Ning couldn't help but complain.

He was more inclined to believe that Red A had encountered Cú Chulainn in another parallel world.

"Hey, Illya, do you know where this guy comes from?" Mordred asked curiously.

Both Cú Chulainn and Red A could match her in martial skill, which made her itch for a fight.

"The half-divine Great Hero of Celtic Mythology—the 'Child of Light,' Cú Chulainn. His Noble Phantasm is quite formidable, possessing the ability of Causality Reversal. Servants without an immortal body or a special defensive Noble Phantasm had better not give him a chance to activate it."

After Su Ning finished speaking, Mordred was left speechless.

"No way, you even know that?"

Su Ning shrugged, wearing an expression that said, "Can you not be so surprised?"

At the same time, having been identified, Cú Chulainn wasted no more time. He pulled back, and the long spear in his hand ignited with crimson magical flames.

Unlike Matou Shinji, that blind fool who gave terrible orders, Kirei Kotomine had fully entrusted the command of battle to Cú Chulainn himself—this was the correct mindset for a Master.

Do you really think a magus, no matter how skilled, can surpass a Great Hero who has fought countless battles and left glorious deeds in history and legend? Don't be ridiculous.

Not to mention anything else, at the speed these Servants fought, an ordinary magus could only see two flashes of light clashing.

If you can't even follow the movements, how can you command?

"Farewell, you coward who won't even give your name—"

Cú Chulainn shifted his center of gravity back, his right arm pulling the spear to its limit. The red flames on the weapon had condensed to their peak.
