I'm in a mess, starting with a meteor shower!

Even though that experience hasn't been revealed yet, a few astute gods have already guessed it.

Loki and Freya were two of them.

"I'm really looking forward to the journey of the 'Savior' from another world to save the world."

Meanwhile, the "savior" they spoke of was waving a lamppost on the riverbank in Fuyuki City, engaging Medusa in a real hand-to-hand battle.

"Who exactly are you, you bastard?"

After being repelled once again by Fujimaru Ritsuka's lamppost, Medusa's gaze towards Fujimaru Ritsuka grew increasingly serious.

I originally thought he was just a Master, but it turns out this person really fought me to a standstill with just a stick, and even pushed me away with considerable force just now.

"No, to be precise, are you even human?"

Medusa possesses superhuman strength; what makes you, a mere human, think you can rival me in power?

"How rude of me, I am a pure human."

Fujimaru Ritsuka spun the lamppost in her hand, then suddenly exerted force with her feet and charged towards Medusa.

"However, I used a little too much force!"

A club swung straight at Medusa, but Medusa didn't take the blow head-on. Instead, she used her agility to dodge the heavy strike.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's lamppost crashed to the ground, creating a crater and sending dust flying everywhere.

Suddenly, Fujimaru Ritsuka burst out from the smoke and rushed towards Medusa, swinging the lamppost in her hand and smashing it down on her.

However, Medusa did not dodge Fujimaru Ritsuka's attack. Instead, she suddenly stared at Fujimaru Ritsuka with wide eyes.

Fujimaru Ritsuka, who was about to swing the lamppost, suddenly stopped in her tracks, as if time had been frozen in place.

Then, starting from her legs, grayish-white stones began to spread from Fujimaru Ritsuka, and soon her whole body turned into a stone statue, just like the other humanoid stone statues around her.

The sudden transformation into a stone statue caught the onlookers off guard and made them realize what was happening.

"It's the Petrifying Eye! She's Medusa!"

The director immediately shouted out Medusa's real name.

"Hehehe, do you recognize me now? Too bad it's too late."

Medusa strolled over and put her arm around Fujimaru Ritsuka's shoulder.

"He has become part of my collection."

Is that so?

"That's right."

"Then, Miss Medusa, please look this way."

Medusa looked in the direction from which the sound came and saw another Fujimaru Ritsuka drawing her bow and aiming an arrow at her.

"A shooting star!"

Volume 1: Chapter 112. Cú Chulainn, who can't pretend to be cool

The meteor-like arrow struck the head of the Fujimaru Ritsuka statue and then exploded.

The stone statue of Fujimaru Ritsuka, along with Medusa who was embracing it, was directly hit by the impact of the explosion and instantly turned to ashes in the flames.

After the explosion, all that remained was a large, red-hot crater and a large area of ​​human-shaped stone statues surrounding it.

Servant Medusa is now out of the running!

Fujimaru Ritsuka breathed a sigh of relief as she watched her archer clone turn to ashes with a satisfied smile.

In the original storyline, Medusa was taken away by Cú Chulainn using runes, and throughout the process, Medusa displayed an extreme underestimation of her opponent.

She clearly possessed an extremely powerful petrifying eye, but she never used it from beginning to end. All she knew was to swing her spear and fight Cú Chulainn. As a result, she stepped on a rune that Cú Chulainn had already set up, was blasted into serious injury, and was then taken away by a series of rune bombardments from Cú Chulainn.

Throughout the whole process, she seemed both incompetent and playful.

Especially considering that Cú Chulainn appeared as a Caster, he didn't use any Noble Phantasms at all except for throwing a few rune spells, which made Medusa seem very weak!

But when facing Medusa, Fujimaru Ritsuka dared not think she was weak. Just because the Petrifying Eyes were useless did not mean they were nonexistent. For Fujimaru Ritsuka, that thing was a mechanism that could instantly kill her.

Without anti-magic power, if you don't prepare in advance when facing the Petrifying Eyes, you'll be instantly killed once petrified. Although Fujimaru Ritsuka has quite a few cards, she doesn't have a high-level anti-magic power that can make her immune to the Petrifying Eyes. Although Berserker Lancelot has anti-magic power, it's only E-rank, so the petrification process was gradual. This is already the maximum resistance effect brought by E-rank anti-magic power.

Therefore, clones became the best tool to resist the Petrifying Eye and to test the enemy.

Using the smoke created by the heavy blow, Fujimaru Ritsuka summoned two clones. One clone rushed up with a lamppost to attract Medusa's attention, while the other drew its bow to end the battle.

The result was gratifying. Medusa, unaware that Fujimaru Ritsuka possessed the ability to create clones, was immediately fooled. She used her Petrifying Mystic Eyes on the clone and, after succeeding, became so smug that she was caught off guard and was easily killed by Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"What...what's going on?"

The three Chaldea members looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka, then at the large crater created by her explosion, and were momentarily stunned.

"Weren't you petrified just now? Why... and what was that thing next to you just now?"

The director pointed at Fujimaru Ritsuka, saying that the one who was petrified was one thing, but she had just witnessed another Fujimaru Ritsuka turn into fragments and dissipate next to her.

"What kind of magic is that? A clone? Or a puppet?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka did not answer, but instead turned her gaze to the rooftop next to her.

"Director, how about we let our friend hiding in the shadows explain this problem?"

"Oh dear, we've been found out."

A voice came from the darkness, magic gathered in the air, and a mysterious man with long blue hair, an unruly smile, and a hooded appearance appeared.

"Originally, I was planning to step in and save the day when you guys couldn't withstand Lancer's attacks."

"Looking back now, I've missed the perfect opportunity to make my entrance."

"It's a real shame that he missed out on a chance to make a dashing appearance."

Who are you?

The director stood in front of Gudazi and questioned him.

"I am the caster of this Holy Grail War."

Caster stated his job title but did not reveal his real name.

"Let me also answer the question from the guy earlier."

"He just used a Noble Phantasm, not some kind of magic."

After saying that, Caster looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with interest.

"A Master who can fight Servants in close combat and even use Noble Phantasms, and a Goddess's Regalia whose divinity is so strong that she is almost a god herself, you two are quite an interesting combination."

The deity cannot descend to the realm in its physical form, but can summon vessels. He saw that Astraea possessed a normal physical body, so like Medusa, he believed that Astraea was summoned into a vessel and appeared in the real world as a vessel.

"A Noble Phantasm?"

The director looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a puzzled expression.

Although he is human, he can use Noble Phantasms. Isn't he a pseudo-Servant? Chaldea spent a lot of time and only succeeded in creating Mashu today by chance. Is this person also one? Which organization researched and created him?

"You don't need to worry about things that concern me."

Fujimaru Ritsuka casually waved her hand.

"Isn't the most important thing now to solve this singularity problem?"

No, no, no, how could I not care about something like this!

The director was internally complaining.

However, the key point is to resolve this singularity. We can ask Fujimaru Ritsuka, this pseudo-Servant, and the goddess card behind him properly after we return to Chaldea!

Seeing that the director did not refute, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at the mysterious man again.

"Then, Cú Chulainn, share your information."

"Ok?"

The man, or rather, Caster Cú Chulainn, looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a surprised expression.

"You actually figured out my real name?"

"Cú Chulainn, the son of light of Ireland, the son of Ruger, the god of light, a great hero who is half-human and half-god, am I right?"

"That's right."

Cú Chulainn looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka with a face full of curiosity.

"But I'm curious, how did you figure out who I am?"

"Your staff bears the symbol of the sun."

Fujimaru Ritsuka pretended to be analyzing the situation seriously.

"And you also have a lot of Lune runes on your body."

"The sun and the Rune runes basically confirm that you are a member of Celtic mythology. Then there's your stance with the staff. Although you say you're a caster, the way you hold the staff isn't a staff, but a gun-wielding stance, indicating that you personally enjoy fighting with guns."

"The symbol of the sun, skilled in runes, possessing the qualities of a caster, but also fond of using guns. In Celtic mythology, there is only that demigod hero, the Son of Light Cú Chulainn, who was taught by the Queen of the Demon Realm Scáthach."

***——

Cú Chulainn clapped his hands vigorously.

"Brilliant! You actually deduced my identity from such a small detail. You're even more amazing than I thought, buddy."

Of course, I can't say that I'm explaining things according to the plot.

After gaining the identity of a caster, the director regained his confidence and began to take the lead.

"So, Cú Chulainn, tell us about the situation here, and why you've come to us."

Having lost control, Cú Chulainn could no longer be as assertive as in the original storyline, and instead began to explain himself in an equal manner.

"The purpose of my visit is simple: you are wanderers who have strayed into this place. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so I want to cooperate with you to end this Holy Grail War!"

Volume 1: 113. They're all actors

"This Holy Grail War changed suddenly, I don't know when."

"A huge fire suddenly swept through the entire city, and all the humans disappeared, leaving only the servants."

The team of five had gained another member, Cú Chulainn, who earnestly explained the situation of this singularity.

Chaldea's Cú Chulainn was really listening, while Fujimaru Ritsuka and Asteria, as before, stood at the back, listening to Cú Chulainn's explanation while trying not to laugh.

Of course, the one trying not to laugh was mainly Fujimaru Ritsuka. Because after defeating Medusa, this world was essentially free of trouble. If there was any trouble at all, it was probably the Berserker controlled by the black mud, namely Hercules, but...

Hercules is just so-so.jpg

As for Saber and Archer, who are the bosses later on, they are not even enemies in a certain sense.

After all, the prototype of this world is the Fifth Holy Grail War, and in the Fifth Holy Grail War, Saber and Archer are the iconic characters, Saber and Archer respectively. These two characters have a history throughout the Type-Moon universe.

To them, it can be put simply: Don't we know what the Fifth Holy Grail War is all about?

On the surface, they appear to be the main villains of the Holy Grail War in this singularity, but in reality, they have been keeping an eye on this singularity all along, and even maintaining its existence.

And this Cú Chulainn in front of us is even more extraordinary.

On the surface, he is Cú Chulainn, but in reality, his power does not come from himself, but from Odin, the great god of Norse mythology.

This great being saw everything with his own eyes, so he began to plan ahead. Even while planning, he was unwilling to personally participate, and he didn't even want to wear the disguise of his own pantheon. Instead, he found Cú Chulainn from the neighboring Celtic pantheon to be his disguise, stuffing all his own stuff into Cú Chulainn's spirit origin, forcibly transforming Cú Chulainn, who was absolutely suited for the Lancer class, into a mage skilled in Rune Runes, and making him a Caster.

In this way, Cú Chulainn did the things he needed to do, and carried the pots and pans for him. He only needed to keep an eye on things from behind and lend a hand when necessary. As for the rest, Cú Chulainn could handle the work.

In fact, this Cú Chulainn has already returned to the present after filming wrapped up on the future set. You could say he traveled from the future to the past to meet Gudako and the others.

Therefore, from now on, all the servants the team encounters will essentially know that there is a problem here, and they will also know what they need to do.

Then, this group of omniscient servants, facing a group of people like Gudako who knew nothing, all acted like madmen.

For example, Cú Chulainn is performing right now.

"Anyway, that's how it is. I need someone to help me take care of the remaining Saber and Archer."

"And you just happened to drift here, and you also happen to have a master, so you are my best choice."
