Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

[It's probably because his master was captured by the female fox. I can understand, but I don't feel sorry for him.]

As a swordsman, thinking about other things during battle will cost you your life.

[“Drink!!!”]

Impatient, Artoria switched from defense to offense and charged towards Kojiro.

The reason she dared to be so reckless was because her intuition had been ready after the brief exchange.

Kojiro swung his sword horizontally towards her neck, but she grabbed it with her left hand, which was covered by an arm guard. He then raised his sword with his right hand, preparing to sever her wrist in one blow.

Chapter 448 - C's Strength

Faced with this situation, Kojiro remained calm, loosening his grip on the hilt with his right hand and slamming his palm hard against the end of the hilt.

The force from the arm was transferred to the blade, which trembled rapidly, deflecting the enemy's arm from its grip.

[Immediately, Kojiro swung his longsword forward with his left hand, but Artoria's intuition predicted it, and she jumped back to escape the sword's attack range.]

[Our king's expression was grim; Kojiro on the other side was indeed no ordinary person.]

Even with the help of intuition, without unleashing its power, it's impossible to defeat the enemy before you.

Charlemagne: "Amazing! It really was a matter of life and death hanging by a thread!"

Artoria: "Not bad reaction and counterattack, swordsman."

The gatekeeper: "Haha, we're in the same boat."

[Kojiro: "That was truly spectacular. I had at least seven chances to cut off your head, yet you remain unharmed. It seems Western swordsmanship has its own unique charm."]

[Our King: "Likewise, your skills are also commendable. It seems these are the only tricks you're good at."]

Kojiro: "Yes, you have the upper hand in both strength and momentum, so I can only rely on my own strengths."

"I've grown accustomed to the invisible sword in your hand."

【"..."】

Artoria took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

[At this rate, forget about rescuing Shirou Emiya; I'll probably be worn down and die first.]

The gatekeeper said, "As expected of the legendary Knight King, he can still exert such strength even when weakened. It seems my training is still insufficient."

Sharpshooter Li: "It's a pity I don't use a sword, otherwise I would really like to have a match with you."

The gatekeeper said, "It's okay not to use a sword. Being too fixated on one type of weapon will only limit a person's skill ceiling."

Sharpshooter Li: "Hahaha, well said!"

Let's return our gaze to Ryudong Temple.

"Judging from your tone, your master really is in cahoots, isn't he?"

[Red A probed, "The fact that the Assassin guarding the door and the Caster lurking inside are working together is obvious, and it's not exactly uncommon."]

[“Hehehe——”]

Red A's words almost made C's mom burst out laughing: "You actually said I'm going to team up with that watchdog? With that assassin who's just a pawn at best?"

The gatekeeper said, "Hey, even though I was summoned by you, saying that is going too far."

C's mom: "Yeah, you're not even as good as a watchdog. You didn't even notice when the enemy came in."

The gatekeeper: "..."

[Red A: "You actually talked about chess pieces..."]

[C Mom: "That's right, in the end, that watchdog didn't actually have a master."]

[Red A: "What! Caster, you actually broke the rules?"]

"Heh heh heh! What's so strange about me, a magus, summoning Servants?"

[Caster sneered, "Winning the Holy Grail War is easy. I'm only putting in so much effort because I'm considering what will happen after the war."]

Red A scoffed, "Huh? You think you can easily defeat us? With your ability to run away in fear like a coward?"

【"Witch!"】

C-Mom's eyes instantly turned incredibly fierce; she couldn't understand how this bastard knew her true identity.

Kenneth: "Who is this woman? How can she break the rules to summon a Servant?"

Waver: "Emiya called her a witch, and she got angry. She clearly doesn't like the title of witch."

Kenneth: "A witch from the Age of Gods... Damn, that's quite a range!"

Ta-Miao: "..."

Regarding C-Mom's identity, apart from Feng Xi and Red A, who are both overpowered, only Ta Miao, who was on the same boat, knows. However, she has never mentioned it in the group.

After all, C-Mom's reputation isn't very good.

Oh, Hercules must know her too, but now that he's Berserker, he can't say who Caster is.

[C Mom: "Phew—that's right, you won't be able to hurt me here. Anyone who calls me a witch will be punished accordingly!"]

[Red Archer: "You said it yourself, so let's give it a try. If that doesn't work, then we'll leave it to Saber to handle."]

[The verbal sparring is over; now it's time to get physical.]

[Video paused.]

[Question: What will be the outcome of the next battle?]

[A: Archer (Red Archer) made a mistake; Shirou Emiya's Command Seals were stolen by Caster.]

[B: Artoria defeats Kojiro Sasaki and joins forces with Archer to defeat Caster.]

[C: Red A defeats C's mother alone, the opponent retreats.]

[D: Caster successfully defeated Archer, but Shirou Emiya managed to escape.]

[You have 1 minutes to answer the questions. Please begin now.]

Rin Tohsaka: "So there are four completely different results...?"

Blonde Rin: "Archer versus Caster?"

Blonde Rin: "Although Archer seems to be hiding his true strength, Caster is clearly not someone to be trifled with. As a magician from the Age of Gods, he must have quite a few ways to deal with Archer alone."

Zabiko: "But Red A seems rather cunning, while C-Mama... seems a bit dim-witted."

C's Mom: "!!!"

Mom: "(^_^#) Little girl, who are you calling not smart!"

Zabizi: "(-_-|||)"

Red A: "Hmm, that's a very fair assessment. You have a good eye."

C's Mom: "Hmph, ╰(`□)╯ You think you can beat me? Don't even dream about it!"

[Time's up, the quiz is over.]

[The answers will now be revealed.]

[Red A swiftly charged towards C's mother, bending down to dodge her magic attack, and projected Gan Jiang and Mo Xie into his hands.]

[A flash of light, and Red A slashed through C's upper body with his right hand, then sliced ​​her waist with his left, but felt no impact and no blood flowed.]

[Fake! This C-mom is a fake!]

[When Shirou Emiya saw Archer's attack method, for some reason, he subconsciously memorized it and unconsciously began to imitate it.]

Despite disliking the archer before me, his strength is undeniable.

For some reason, his opponent's dual-sword fighting style felt strangely familiar; he even thought it was a move he could easily execute himself.

He had previously studied swordsmanship with Saber, but no matter how much he practiced, he couldn't grasp its secrets.

Wuming: "...Is this guy an idiot! Instead of taking the opportunity to escape, he's observing, uh, my swordsmanship."

Red A: "(ーー゛)"

Stay-at-home husband: "..."

Stop talking, it's embarrassing—

He felt an urge to rush into the video and punch his own reflection, asking him what he was thinking.

He finally understands the feeling that Red A had of wanting to kill his past self!

"What a pity, Archer."

[C-Mom appeared in mid-air, surrounded by nine magic circles, and then a half-meter-thick purple beam of light shot towards Red A.]

[“Boom!”]

The ground was melted by the scorching Shakespearean magic beam, which then collided with Red A's Gan Jiang and Mo Xie.

[C's mother wore a confident smile, floating in mid-air watching Red A, not in a hurry to attack.]

[C-Mom, possessing the power of high-speed divine words, has become incredibly arrogant.]

[After all, he has the advantage in magical power, and this is still his magical territory. As a magus from the Age of Gods, isn't it normal for him to look down on the unknown Archer?]
