Suddenly, a playful teasing voice rang out.

"Oh my~ Is little Yukino worried about me? Onee-chan is so happy."

Yukino Yukino said with a smile, patting her cute sister's head.

"Who's worried about you, you sister-complex freak."

Yukino blinked, turned her head away, and wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, stubbornly saying.

[The street was bustling with people, and two figures stood side by side.]

[The blue-clad Lancer's lips curled up, his smile arrogant: "Master, don't worry, go find your person. The Child of Light from Ireland will protect you."]

["Ahaha, I know, you're invincible~."]

[Kogoro Mori smiled, feeling completely at ease looking at his Servant's status.]

[Height · Weight: 185cm · 72kg]

[Alignment: Lawful · Neutral]

["Ever victorious in battle, brave on the battlefield."]

[Origin: Myth]

[Region: Ireland]

[Strength: B]

[Endurance: C]

[Agility: A]

[Magical Energy: C]

[Luck: E (Spears are always unlucky, E)]

[Noble Phantasm: B]

[Class Skills—Magic Resistance: C]

[Can nullify spells with two verses or less when chanted, but still cannot defend against large-scale magic such as great magic and ritual spells.]

[Personal Skills—Battle Continuation: A]

[Allows for action and combat even when receiving mortal wounds.]

(In legend, the dying Cú Chulainn tied himself to a stone pillar before he finally breathed his last.)

[Re-engage: C]

[Skilled at discerning the flow of battle, allowing for a swift return to combat after a brief respite.]

[Rune Magic: B]

[Possesses the ability to use Rune magic.]

(Rune magic that Cú Chulainn learned from Scáthach, the Queen of the Shadow Realm.)

(Can increase the stat B to A for a very short period, and simultaneously use runes to defend against the Petrifying Magic Eye.)

[Protection from Arrows: B]

[As long as the attack target is confirmed with the eyes, any long-range attack can be evaded.]

[Divinity: B]

[As a demigod, Cú Chulainn was born with exceptional talent. From a young age, he was known for his extraordinary monstrous strength.]

[Noble PhantasmGae Bolg]

[Rank: B]

[Type: Anti-Personnel Noble Phantasm]

[Range: 2~4]

[Maximum Targets: 1]

[Cú Chulainn's ultimate skill and trump card, a technique that reverses "causality." The moment it is released, the "result" of "the opponent's heart being pierced" is created first.]

(Due to a certain amount of wind-up required for this technique, it is easy for opponents to evade when it is unleashed.)

(If the opponent possesses extremely high luck, there is a possibility that this spear will miss.)

[Gáe Bolg]

[Rank: B+]

[Type: Anti-Army Noble Phantasm]

[Range: 5~40]

[Maximum Targets: 50]

[Loses the conceptual characteristic of "surely piercing the opponent's heart," but its power and effective range have been increased.]

(The mana consumption is severe, requiring the use of all the mana in my body.)

[The attack range encompasses the opponent's surroundings, executing a move akin to carpet bombing. Even with a strong defense or a swift dodge, it can blast away a group of people in one go.]

Without a doubt, as Lancer, Lancer is one of the strongest Servants!

30. The most wicked Master yet, the Gorgon descends!

[Several days prior.]

[Night falls over the Matou Residence.]

[In the dim and quiet basement, piercing laughter echoes.]

["This is the mirror of Medusa, the Gorgon from ancient Greek mythology."]

["Grandfather truly dotes on me...!!"]

["To think he'd find such a precious Holy Relic for me."]

["That's right, after all, I'm a super genius with forty magic circuits, the sole heir of the prestigious Matou family."]

["The mere Holy Grail is within my grasp!"]

["—The vacant period of the Throne of Heaven has lasted too long, it's time for me to ascend to the divine seat!"]

[Suddenly.]

[On the ground, tens of thousands of jet-black tide worms surge, emitting disgusting hisses.]

[The black-haired youth stands in the center, arms spread, a smug smile on his face.]

[The atmosphere is filled with bone-chilling evil.]

Alaska, New Delhi, Taiwan, Seoul…

Countless people around the world frowned, feeling a chill and a sense of disgust.

Perhaps it was because the previous groups had set their expectations too high, and the sudden appearance of a disgusting individual created too much of a jarring contrast, making them feel deeply uncomfortable.

"So many bugs, it's triggering my trypophobia."

In the Sky Screen world, the actress Sakurajima Mai covered her eyes, her voice trembling.

The surrounding spirits nodded frantically, their eyes filled with confusion.

This guy was too much of an eyesore, radiating an air of smug arrogance.

Despite being a young master from a magical family like Luo-jun, there was a world of difference between them.

One was like standing at the pinnacle of the heavens, elegant and indifferent, exuding noble presence.

The other was like the sludge from the depths of the earth, arrogant and unbearable.

"Speaking of which, summoning the Gorgon Medusa with such an evil Master will bring utter devastation to Fuyuki City, won't it?"

"What if he wins in the end and claims the Holy Grail…"

Katsura Hinagiku's expression was worried, the white of her sleeves and clothes fluttering in the wind beneath.

"The other six Servants should intervene."

Oregai Houtarou mused.

The otaku Natsuki Subaru frowned, "If even someone like this can become a god, then the world might as well be destroyed…"

The Sky Screen footage changes.

Accompanied by eerie solemn prayers, beautiful radiance blossoms in the basement.

[A strong wind howls, gusting through the dark and disgusting insect nest.]

[White light flashes, as if the phantom of a holy Pegasus circles above.]

[In the center of the summoning circle, a woman wearing a purple eye patch appears dejectedly.]

[She has super long purple hair, a fair face with a blank expression, and her ample cleavage is almost bursting from her black attire. Her black stockings and over-the-knee boots further accentuate her irresistible allure.]

["Rider, Medusa."]

["Rider, Medusa."]

[Looking at the Master before her, Medusa calmly introduces herself, like an iceberg in Antarctica, her tone devoid of any color.]

Beau…

Simply stunning!

The aura of an ice beauty seemed to emanate from the Sky Screen.

Countless people were stunned, captivated by the sight.

Any visually-oriented being would be unable to resist such a direct aesthetic impact!

At this moment, countless men and even women worldwide saved this scene as their wallpaper, wishing they could lick the screen.

The Gorgon from ancient Greek mythology?

A mass murderer?

Who gets petrified when you glare at them?

What does that have to do with us being shallow?

However, to everyone's surprise...

["Hello, Miss Medusa. I am Shinji Matou. I look forward to your care from now on."]

[The black-haired youth's attitude was respectful, daring not to show the slightest offense, a complete contrast to his previous demeanor.]

[Arrogant?]

[Presumptuous?]

[He was joking; the other party was the key to whether he could win the Holy Grail War!]

[If he had any brains, he wouldn't offend a Servant.]

[The three Command Spells would be used like a steel blade, all the way to the finish line of victory.]

["I understand, Master. I will protect you in the Holy Grail War."]

[The woman with a snake-like mark on her forehead said calmly, as always, without a ripple.]

[The man didn't mind, the corners of his lips curling up slightly into a wicked smile.]

[He didn't care what attitude the Servant had towards him, as long as he could win the Holy Grail War.]

[Ever since he was adopted by the Matou family a year ago, Ito Makoto... no, to be precise, Shinji Matou, had known his ultimate goal.]

[That was to lift the Almighty Cup and make a wish for his grandfather, Zouken, to have eternal life and immortality.]

[To unblock his forty blocked circuits, Matou Zouken threw him into the insect den. After experiencing unprecedented despair and torment that ordinary people could hardly imagine, he crawled out of hell.]

[He became the super genius of the Matou family and was permitted to participate in the Holy Grail War.]

[It was after this day that his career as a human-shaped mobile artillery began.]
