That protagonist is trash; I could do better!

"What do you need me to do?"

"If it were Master, they would definitely be able to maintain this world."

"Can you tell me why? What happened in this world?"

"You'll understand someday, but it should never come out of my mouth."

Hall frowned: "If you have any memories related to me, you should know that I hate keeping people in suspense."

Black Saber shook her head: "This is not what I wanted. Only Master is an exception. As the scabbard of the king, you should know the king's duties better than anyone else. Besides, there is nothing worth pursuing in this world for Master. This is a responsibility that the people of this world should bear themselves."

"..."

Meeting Black Saber's narrow, golden eyes, Hall remained silent for a moment, then sighed softly, "Fine, I will assist you."

"Thank you. Then I'll leave this place to Master for now." Black Saber leaped down from the platform.

"Where are you going?"

"Master does not need to deal with the remaining Servants from this Holy Grail War; simply protect this place."

"It would be too boring if we couldn't do anything."

"I won't let Master get bored." With that, the dark figure disappeared into the darkness.

After Black Saber left, Hall focused his attention on the Greater Grail system. He already knew the composition of the Greater Grail by heart and had no particular interest in it. If he had to say anything, he just wanted to summon the Winter Maiden for a chat.

However, the Winter Maiden has already become a vessel for the Greater Grail, making this action essentially pointless.

Hall has essentially graduated from this world, and besides, he doesn't belong to this world. As Black Saber said, he has absolutely no reason to get involved in the human conflicts of this world.

Although Hall is not a Servant, the principle of a Servant is to avoid getting involved in conflicts of an era that are unrelated to oneself.

Just as Hall was getting so bored that he yawned, he raised an eyebrow and a smile appeared on his lips.

Just like Lia said, it won't be boring; fun is coming your way.

Caster Cú Chulainn's body appeared below the platform, his clear voice murmuring, "That guy is finally gone."

"Then, who are you?"

Caster Cú Chulainn looked at Hall sitting on the high platform with curiosity. In his eyes, Hall was just an ordinary magician.

But an ordinary magician shouldn't be sitting here, much less staying here.

Hall smiled as he looked at the familiar figure before him: "Could I be considered Saber's Master for now?"

Caster Cú Chulainn scoffed, "What a joke! I've seen that guy's Master with my own eyes."

"I am the next one."

"How about we end the joke here? After all, does Saber really need Master's existence? She has endless magic power of her own."

“You know very well, Cú Chulainn.”

Ok?

Upon hearing Hall call out his real name, Caster Cú Chulainn's expression turned solemn, his eyes flashing with a dangerous glint: "You know my information too, huh? Since you know my real name and haven't run away, that means you've made considerable preparations to deal with me, haven't you? What a nuisance."

Hall shook his head: "You misunderstood. I only learned your real name when you appeared. To be precise, I recognized you immediately upon seeing you."

Caster Cú Chulainn looked Hall up and down, and for some reason he felt a strange sense of familiarity with Hall, as if he had met him somewhere before, and the human magician in front of him had left a strong impression on him.

"Hey magician, have we met somewhere before?"

Hall truthfully replied, "Yes, in a Holy Grail War held in a parallel world, you were also summoned as a Caster."

Parallel world···

Caster Cú Chulainn stroked his blue hair, looking troubled: "I have absolutely no idea what's going on. It's utterly absurd, yet it feels strangely real. The idea that Servants return to their thrones with their memories but don't take them with them is like a dream for them. So, I can be sure you're not lying. Even though you're just a human mage, my intuition tells me you're a formidable enemy."

"You can't beat me now."

"Sorry, I feel the same way, but everything needs to be tried. Let's finish you off before the Knight King returns!" Caster Cú Chulainn slammed his wooden staff into the ground, and magic drew the primordial runes.

However, after the runes lit up, no changes occurred.

"..."

Hall looked at Caster Cú Chulainn's pose with a half-smile.

"The primordial runes... have been sealed away!?" Caster Cú Chulainn stared at Hall in horror, noticing the eerie light emanating from Hall's demonic eyes.

What did he do?

Is it the influence of that eye?

No, there's also a certain decisive influence!

Caster Cú Chulainn was an excellent magician who knew that sealing the primordial runes was not possible with just the Mystic Eyes; one would also need knowledge of the primordial runes equal to or even greater than his own.

The guy who gave Archer a hard time before was very likely him! A human magician...

Caster Cú Chulainn finally understood the strangeness of the human mage before him. Recalling Archer's previous setback, the guy who unleashed such immense magical power was very likely the human mage before him.

"Who are you? Why are you using primordial runes?"

Hall said unhurriedly, "Scáthach told me to say hello when I encounter her proud disciple."

The name of the Queen of the Land of Shadows clearly shook Caster Cú Chulainn's resolve: "You know my teacher?"

"She has now gone to the Throne of Heroes, just like you."

"What a joke! How could the teacher possibly go to the Throne of Heroes!"

“I personally sent her in, destroyed her Shadow Kingdom, stripped her of her divine spirit foundation, and then removed the curse of immortality.”

"..."

Caster Cú Chulainn couldn't tell if Holl was telling the truth or not. Could his invincible teacher really lose? But he didn't think Holl was lying either. Holl had just explicitly mentioned the spirit origin of a god, an ability that he and more than twenty fellow disciples had forced out of their teacher.

"You, with such great power, shouldn't be sitting idly by and doing nothing about this."

"Do you think Scáthach will get involved in this? I'm just an observer, entrusted by Saber to temporarily take care of this world, so I won't kill you, nor will I let you destroy the Greater Grail."

Caster Cú Chulainn snorted, "Unfortunately, in my previous life I was a single-minded warrior who would challenge even the impossible! That's what makes it interesting!"

Before her death, Scáthach had prophesied Cú Chulainn's fate. Knowing he would die, Cú Chulainn continued to join the war. Here are the fierce dogs of Culan.

interesting.

“I’m a little bored, I’ll play with you for a bit.” Hall stood up with a smile, and radiance condensed in his hands into two materialized true ethereal rapiers.

"Close combat? Just what I'm looking for!"

For mages to engage in melee combat, increasing strength and agility is common knowledge among Type-Moon magicians.

Cú Chulainn has never been weak in melee combat. Although he was summoned as a Caster, he retains the memories of a warrior, and his abilities combined with magic are no weaker than those of a Lancer.

He stared intently as Hall, wielding two swords, leaped down from the platform. Instead of using the original runes, Hall employed Celtic Druid abilities, his wooden staff bursting into flames as he twirled it like a spear.

Caster Cú Chulainn exclaimed excitedly, "Come on, let me see just how powerful an enemy can defeat my teacher!"

"Be careful, don't lose too quickly."

Hall's body was illuminated with light patterns, his body enhanced by magic, and he vanished from his spot in an instant.

So fast!

Caster Cú Chulainn was startled; his instincts, honed on the battlefield, made him raise his flaming staff forward.

Clang!

Caster Cú Chulainn clearly heard the sound of metal clanging together, felt as if his body had been hit by a train, his hands trembled violently, almost losing sensation, and at the same time his body was thrown back by the immense force.

Is this the kind of power that humans can unleash?!

Still in disbelief, Caster Cú Chulainn hadn't even regained his footing when he sensed a murderous intent coming from the side. He quickly sidestepped and narrowly dodged the sharp sword strike.

Almost simultaneously, another sword light pierced through from an odd angle, and Caster Cú Chulainn could almost feel the chill on his neck.

will die.

Although Caster Cú Chulainn had raised his vigilance to the highest level, he admitted that he had underestimated Hall.

"Go!"

Caster Cú Chulainn gave a rapid, low shout. Without needing to chant any incantations, the wooden staff in his hand grew wildly, transforming into a shield wall to block the sword light.

Swish!

The sword pierced through the shield wall and grazed his neck, leaving a bloody mark. Caster Cú Chulainn also took the opportunity to successfully increase the distance between himself and Hall, retreating to a distance of several dozen meters.

In close combat, he was at a disadvantage, thus not even having the chance to use his Noble Phantasm.

Caster Cú Chulainn was extremely frustrated, never expecting to be completely outmatched in just a few rounds of combat, without even the power to retaliate.

Hall gracefully twirled his sword, a half-smile on his face, and said, "What's wrong? Aren't you going to attack? Speaking of which, I've heard a saying that the louder a dog barks, the less effective it usually is."

"You're quite the smooth talker."

The harsh sarcasm struck a nerve with Caster Cú Chulainn, igniting his anger and calming him down.

Even when he was a Celtic warrior, he knew that anger could not solve anything, and that the stronger the opponent, the more he needed to deal with them calmly.

"I was just startled. I didn't expect that there would be a magician who is good at fighting in this world besides me. Your martial arts skills are already comparable to those of a martial arts-type Servant."

“Martial arts are now a required course for magicians. Next…” Hall smiled and chanted a spell: “Time Control – Four Times Speed”.

Caster Cú Chulainn's expression changed drastically in an instant, finally catching a glimpse of the tip of Hall's power. The terrifying magical power that had erupted from Hall's body was completely contained in less than a moment.

The Magic Eye accelerated time within Hall's body, speeding up his metabolism and making the flow of magic even faster.

The world in Hall's eyes slowed down, allowing him to clearly observe changes in the world, including Caster Cú Chulainn's movements and the flow of magic.

It was a very strange feeling, one that Hall had only experienced after becoming the God of Truth in the No Game No Life world.

With the support of the time control, Hall can exert five times the normal output.

"Growth!"

A strong sense of crisis overwhelmed Caster Cú Chulainn's consciousness, and his instincts drove him to chant incantations, wanting to use druidic magic to summon Nocturne to protect himself.

what?

As he made a move, he was horrified to find Hall already beside him, and a sharp pain spread from his shoulder to his chest.
