The outcome has been decided.
This was the first thought that flashed through the minds of everyone who saw Scathach freeing the Noble Phantasm.
Facing Scathach's Noble Phantasm, Cu Chulainn, who had already activated the Noble Phantasm, had no means of resistance, and he didn't even have the magic spear in his hand.
Therefore, this blow will be the one that determines the outcome.
At least, that's what the others thought.
However, Cu Chulainn was unusually calm.
"I knew that no matter whether my attack was successful or failed, you would be the first person to kill me."
An evil smile appeared on Cu Chulainn's face.
"You certainly did not disappoint me, Scathach."
Saying these words, Cú Chulainn actually stretched out his hand directly towards the magic spear.
"Pfft!"
Scathach's magic spear immediately penetrated Cu Chulainn's palm, causing blood to spatter out.
"idiot!"
Seeing Cu Chulainn like this, Scathach cursed loudly.
Even if you sacrifice one hand to catch this magic gun, what will happen
This first magic gun was not originally used for killing, but was used to pin the opponent to space so that he could not escape.
Therefore, even if Cú Chulainn catches the shot with his hand, the effect of the shot will still be activated, pinning Cú Chulainn's hand to the space, making him unable to move.
Immediately afterwards...
"Go back to your seat and reflect! Setante!"
Scathach threw the second magic spear in his hand heavily.
As a result, the scarlet magic spear turned into a beam of light and swept towards the direction of Cu Chulainn.
Wherever it passed, not only the ground was plowed open by strong winds and sand dust, but also the gravel and rubble were all smashed into pieces and turned into powder.
The magic spear traced a lightning-like trajectory and shot straight towards Cu Chulainn.
This is a magic blow that is sure to hit the heart.
However...
"laugh!"
The magic spear thrown by Scathach not only failed to follow the inevitable trajectory, but hit Cu Chulainn's heart. It even seemed to be out of order and flew directly into the distance, leaving only a gust of wind and disappearing.
"Varied... !?"
Scathach was shocked.
"Liar!"
Matthew also exclaimed.
Even Luo Zhen, who was in mid-air, stood up in shock, and then finally discovered something.
That is...
"There is no heartbeat in Cu Chulainn's body...!?"
Yes.
In Cu Chulainn's body, there was no heartbeat at all.
Luo Zhen's "mind's eye" did not detect the fluctuation of the heartbeat.
In other words...
"He doesn't have a heart...!"
Luo Zhen revealed this incredible fact.
It was precisely because there was no heart that the magic spear missed and missed Cu Chulainn at all.
If it doesn't even have a heart, how can it hit the heart
Combined with what Cu Chulainn said before, everyone immediately understood the reason.
Cú Chulainn, who had already guessed that whether his attack was successful or failed, the first one to attack him would be Scathach, he had already predicted this situation, so...
"The heart that was pierced by the magic spear last time was neither repaired nor cured...!"
exactly.
Even though he planned to use the power of the Holy Grail to repair the damage to his heart and remove the curse of the magic spear when he came back, Cu Chulainn, who had made the attack plan, gave up on this decision.
In order to cope with Scathach's sudden attack, the mad king endured the injury of his heart being penetrated for several days before going to the battlefield.
Cu Chulainn actually endured all this inhuman behavior, inhuman pain, and inhuman calculations.
Just for this moment.
"Pfft!"
There was a tearing sound.
That was the movement caused by Cu Chulainn taking the initiative to tear apart the arm that was nailed to the space by the magic spear, and rushing towards Scathach regardless of the blood spilled.
"...!"
Scathach's expression changed and he retreated without thinking.
But at this time, Cu Chulainn raised a hand.
"call out!"
The magic spear pierced the sky, flashed back and forth like lightning again, and finally fell on Cu Chulainn's body, and was held in his palm.
"You're done, Scathach."
Cu Chulainn made this declaration to Scathach.
Immediately, regardless of his seriously injured body, he rushed towards Scathach and stabbed out the magic spear in his hand.
Scathach, who had just released his Noble Phantasm and threw both magic spears, had not had time to recover the magic spear, and he did not know whether it was because he was too late, so he did not take out the third magic spear at all, so he faced it with nothing. To Cu Chulainn.
At this critical moment...
"Buzz!"
An invisible shield of telekinesis with magic circles and curse lines engraved on its surface spun out in front of Scathach, blocking Cu Chulainn's way.
"clang!"
Cu Chulainn's thrust with all his strength landed on this invisible shield. The result was only sparks from the friction, which were then bounced away.
That is of course Luo Zhen's "Magic Defense".
"Matthew!"
Luo Zhen, who was in mid-air, used his to deflect Cu Chulainn's blow while giving orders to Mashu.
"Drink!"
Mashu, who grabbed his shield, charged forward with all his strength, carrying the roaring wind, and slammed into Cu Chulainn's body.
"Bang!"
In the explosion-like sound, Cu Chulainn was knocked away by a solid blow from Mashu. He kept rolling out under the shock wave. He rolled hundreds of meters before he stabilized his body, and the soles of his feet rubbed against the ground. , bringing up smoke and dust all the way, and finally stopped by kneeling on one knee.
"Hey..."
Cu Chulainn's body was dripping with blood, but he still ignored him. He just raised his eyes and stared at Luo Zhen, his eyes full of murderous intent.
"I couldn't kill you in the attack just now. It was indeed a big failure."
From the very beginning, Cu Chulainn regarded Luo Zhen as the most difficult enemy who needed to be killed. It is obvious that he attached great importance to Luo Zhen.
Like Cu Chulainn, Maeve also felt extremely resentful of Luo Zhen's existence.
"Not only did you entangle my chariot, but you also hurt Xiao Ku. You really deserve death."
Maeve hated Luo Zhen with a passion.
But both Cu Chulainn and Maeve knew that Luo Zhen's status was really the top priority in this war.
Not to mention being the leader of the enemy camp and a Master who provides magical power to many servants, it is this support ability that people cannot ignore.
Apart from anything else, Luo Zhen only took two shots in this confrontation.
Once, Maeve's chariot was entangled with a wooden talisman, leaving Cu Chulainn alone and helpless, and could only face Scathach's Noble Phantasm.
Once, he used the shield of to block Cu Chulainn's unexpected counterattack, saving Scathach and saving the entire situation.
Cu Chulainn tried his best to attack and kill, but was defeated in his hands twice.
This Chaldean master knew his position very well and never pushed forward. He only gave his followers the greatest strength and the most appropriate support, which made the whole situation different.
In view of this...
"Leave Scathach and that sub-servant alone, Maeve."
Cu Chulainn gave the order coldly.
"It doesn't matter even if he's seriously injured. Anyway, kill the human master first."
Hearing this, Maeve smiled.
A very pleasant smile.
"Okay! Xiaoku~~"
Maeve happily accepted this task.
The expressions of Matthew and Scathach suddenly changed.
Luo Zhen also narrowed his eyes, with magic power surging in his body.
