"Why didn't it hit?!"
Cú Chulainn stared in disbelief as the spear grazed past Heracles's heart and pierced his shoulder.
Though it was still a serious wound, it was far less severe than having his heart pierced.
The next moment, having exhausted the mana within him, Cú Chulainn could no longer maintain Battle Continuation. His body crashed heavily to the ground. He died with his eyes open!
"Uh... lancers have had Luck E since ancient times. If you want to blame someone, blame Kinoko Nasu's setting..." Su Ning silently shook her head.
Compared to his other attributes, Heracles's Luck was not particularly high, only Rank B... about the same as Artoria under Shirou Emiya!
Artoria had Instinct, while Heracles had Mind's Eye. Thus, after regaining his sanity, Heracles was on the same level as Artoria when it came to evasion.
With Cú Chulainn's Rank E Luck... it would be stranger if he actually hit~
Without time to think further, Su Ning hurriedly put on the Dress of Heaven and stored Cú Chulainn in one of its openings.
Both were Lesser Grails. Her pull on Heroic Spirits was stronger than that of an ordinary Sakura Matou's, though weaker than Sakura Matou's when corrupted. However, with the Dress of Heaven's enhancement, Sakura Matou should not be able to absorb more than her.
"Hehe, I'll be taking Cú Chulainn's soul~" Su Ning grinned smugly.
On the other side, Rin Tohsaka was completely dumbfounded.
She had not even finished arguing with Red A over whether they should fight without honor, and Cú Chulainn was already dead? That was way too fast, wasn't it?
Red A's expression was equally grave. He saw things more clearly than Rin Tohsaka did. Even Berserker was using technical tactics now—was there still any justice? Any law?
Watching Heracles dispatch Cú Chulainn in just a few moves, he felt like quitting the game altogether.
"Rin! We need to retreat!"
"Huh? Retreat?"
"Yes! That boy is fine now, and he has become a Master as well!"
Following the direction of his finger, Rin Tohsaka finally spotted Shirou Emiya hiding behind Artoria. Her expression became complicated for a moment.
"Emiya-kun actually became a Master too... and he even summoned the strongest Saber..."
"Yes, he is our enemy now!"
Rin Tohsaka lightly bit her lip, then suddenly thought of something.
"Right, if Emiya-kun summoned Saber, then the other one fighting her is?"
"Probably Avenger!"
Seeing Rin Tohsaka's baffled expression, Red A could not help a flicker of helplessness passing through his eyes.
If it had been Zouken Matou, he would likely have already guessed that Mordred was of the Avenger class. Yet although Rin Tohsaka was the current head of the Tohsaka family, her understanding of the Holy Grail War was not much greater than that of those visiting magi.
"In any case, she is a troublesome opponent, and she is probably allied with Berserker. So it would be best for us to withdraw first," Red A earnestly advised.
But after hearing that, Rin Tohsaka refused once more.
"If that's true, then we definitely can't retreat. Once we withdraw, they might gang up on Saber... If they can gang up on Saber today, they can gang up on us tomorrow. We should help Saber drive them back instead!" Rin Tohsaka said rapidly, her face serious.
