Cú Chulainn's staff swept across, crushing the last Cursed Arm Hassan's Spirit Origin remaining in the air.
The Shadow Servant left no remains.
The black fragments drifted in the air for two seconds before being swept away by the hot wind under the dark red sky.
Benkei's body also disintegrated at the same moment.
The naginata first shattered into three pieces, then the monk's robe, armor, and body, dissipating into black particles in the order from the outside in.
The two Shadow Servant were defeated in less than thirty seconds, from the moment Cú Chulainn made his move to the moment he was defeated.
Medusa still stood in the shadow of the ruins.
A long-handled sickle stood upright in front of her, and her long purple hair was blown about by the hot wind.
Her expression was hidden beneath the black blindfold, but her body language made it clear that she had no intention of continuing the attack.
Cú Chulainn slung his staff over his shoulder and tilted his head toward Medusa.
"What, you're not playing anymore?"
Medusa did not answer.
She took a step back, disappearing into the deeper shadows of the ruins.
The long purple hair disappeared last.
The scent faded as well.
Cú Chulainn stared in the direction she had disappeared, his red eyes narrowing slightly.
"They got away."
He turned back and looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru and the others.
Ritsuka Fujimaru stood behind Mash, her orange eyes still gleaming from the tension of the moment.
Olga Marie stood at the very back, her long silver hair plastered to her face with sweat, but her expression had returned from panic to calm.
Cú Chulainn tapped the ground with his staff.
"You're from Chaldea, aren't you?"
Ritsuka Fujimaru nodded.
How did you know?
"I have my own way of doing that."
"Besides, this wretched place is devoid of any living beings except Servant and monsters. Who else could you two humans be here but Chaldea?"
Cú Chulainn switched his staff to his left hand and tucked his right hand into his cloak.
"I am Cú Chulainn. I've been assigned to the Caster class this time. It's a bit awkward not being able to use a gun, but my Rune Magecraft are passable."
He looked around and saw three people.
"You're here to repair the Singularity, right?"
"Yes."
Olga Marie walked from the back to the front.
" Chaldea's mission is to restore the altered Human History, fix this Singularity, and retrieve the Holy Grail that caused the anomaly."
"Oh? That's perfect."
Cú Chulainn grinned.
"My goal is similar: to defeat all the hostile Servant in this city and end this distorted Holy Grail War."
"Our goals don't conflict. Let's work together."
Mash looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru.
Ritsuka Fujimaru then looked at Olga Marie.
Olga Marie thought for a few seconds and nodded.
"Sure. But I need to understand the information you possess first."
"OK."
Cú Chulainn found a spot against a wall that hadn't completely collapsed from the fire and sat down, his staff resting horizontally on his knees.
"The core of this Singularity is the Greater Grail. The Greater Grail was underground at Mount Enzou, or rather, it used to be underground. Now, the body of Mount Enzou has disappeared, and the Great Hollow is directly exposed to the outside."
" The Servant guarded the Holy Grail in the Great Hollow was King Arthur, the corrupted King Arthur."
"Turning to the dark side?"
Olga Marie frowned.
" Artoria Pendragon, corrupted by the Black Mud of the Greater Grail, has been reversed. She is incredibly powerful."
Cú Chulainn paused for a moment.
"However, she is no longer here."
"What's the meaning?"
" Heracles defeated her some time ago."
These words stunned all three of them.
Heracles?
Mash looked somewhat confused.
" Heracles, the great hero of Greece?"
"Yes. But this Heracles ' class doesn't seem to be Berserker, it's something else. I'm not entirely sure. Anyway, he's very strong, so strong that even the corrupted King Arthur is no match for him."
Cú Chulainn looked up at the dark red sky.
"But strangely, after Heracles defeated King Arthur, he did not take the Holy Grail. He simply left and returned to the vicinity of Einzbern Castle, east of Fuyuki City."
He usually just hangs around that area and doesn't attack anyone unless someone trespasses on his territory.
Olga Marie took a few seconds to process the information.
"So who guards the Holy Grail now?"
"That's the second thing I want to talk about."
Cú Chulainn's smile vanished.
"A while ago, there was a new Servant reaction at Mount Enzou, and it's very strong."
"I sensed it from a distance, and the level of magical power of that being was completely different from that of King Arthur before."
"Stronger than the corrupted King Arthur?"
"It's hard to say, but at least it's not weak."
Cú Chulainn looked at Ritsuka Fujimaru.
"To repair the Singularity, you must reach the Great Hollow and obtain the Holy Grail. Whoever guards it, you must defeat them."
Ritsuka Fujimaru clenched her fist.
She is not Servant, nor does she possess combat abilities.
But she is the Master.
She was the one who made the decision.
"Understood."
Cú Chulainn glanced at her and gave her an approving look.
"You have guts."
He stood up and dusted off his pants.
"However, before we go to Mount Enzou, there's a problem you need to resolve first."
He looked at Mash.
After undergoing special training from Cú Chulainn, Mash successfully used an incomplete Noble Phantasm.
Since Mash didn't yet know the true name of her Noble Phantasm, Olga Marie Mash Noble Phantasm it a name.
"Imaginary Noble Phantasm - Simulated Deployment: Foundation of Human Order."
" The Foundation of Human Order..."
Mash repeated the name softly.
Cú Chulainn nodded.
"Alright. At least now you have a usable Noble Phantasm."
He turned and looked in the direction of Mount Enzou.
"It's time to hit the road."
The group headed southeast along the road through the ruins.
Cú Chulainn walked at the front, staff slung over his shoulder, his steps casual, but his red eyes were constantly scanning the surroundings.
Ritsuka Fujimaru walked in the middle, with Mash close behind her.
Olga Marie was at the very back, maintaining low-frequency communication with Dr. Roman.
It took about twenty minutes to walk.
Cú Chulainn suddenly stopped.
"Wait a moment."
His red eyes were fixed on a crossroads ahead.
Something is moving in the ruins across the intersection.
Not Shadow Servant.
Its aura was many times stronger than that of the Shadow Servant had encountered before.
Purple.
A large amount of purplish-black magical light seeped out from the depths of the ruins, spreading towards the road surface like a tide.
"They've arrived."
Cú Chulainn lowered his staff from his shoulder.
"Tens of times?"
Olga Marie's face turned pale instantly.
"How could Spirit Origin have increased to this extent in such a short period of time..."
Cú Chulainn didn't look at the people behind him.
His red eyes remained fixed on Medusa.
Medusa did not act immediately.
She stood across the intersection, her golden snake-like eyes calmly sweeping over the four people.
