The world of Type-Moon starts with saving Altria!

Then came the second and third sounds.

Suddenly, flames shot up into the sky and broken walls flew everywhere.

The powerful shock wave caused Ian to faint.

He lost consciousness.

I don’t know how long it took.

Ian heard a man's voice in his ear.

"Yo."

"Why is there still a person here? It looks like they haven't dealt with it properly."

Hearing the sound, Ian slowly opened his eyes.

I saw a man wearing a blue cloak, who looked like a magician, appeared in front of me.

Ian had seen this man's appearance many times in simulated battles.

That was Cu Chulainn.

but……

Seems a little different?!

180. C-rank Cu Chulainn/Master who fights personally/Multiple Noble Phantasms released (4k)

As a "target" tested in the simulated battle, Cu Chulainn's appearance had been deeply engraved in Ian's mind through repeated simulated battles.

correct.

The man in front of me is him.

only--

The difference from what he saw in Chaldea was that at this moment he was not wearing the familiar blue armor, nor was he holding the gun that shone with a dark red light.

Instead, a wand appeared in his hand.

However, Ian, who had learned basic summoning knowledge from Ophelia, could roughly understand what was going on.

Just as there is nothing static in the world.

Heroic spirits are not static either.

Among their lifetime experiences, there are many time periods that deserve to be engraved in human history.

Therefore, correspondingly, if one could find the relics they left behind during this period, one would be able to summon them from different periods of time, thus making them present different classes.

This is the situation of Cu Chulainn in front of us.

Normally, he should have carried the [Piercing Death Thorn Spear] and become a Lancer.

but--

At some point in his life, he did something that was enough to be recognized as a magician by human history, thus giving him the possibility of becoming a Caster (magician).

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Cu Chulainn looked at Ian in front of him and asked.

"You should know that fighting is inevitable."

"..."

Just this one sentence made Ian realize that the man in front of him was definitely not that friendly.

Although he was always used as a "target" for testing during simulated battles.

But Ian was not stupid enough to underestimate Cu Chulainn under the current circumstances.

——Memory Projection——

The man allowed the power to be activated in his heart.

The particles gathered in his hands at an unimaginable speed and finally formed the shape of a sword.

That's Excalibur Galatine!

Ian was a little surprised.

This surprise did not refer to the replica of the wheel-shaped sword of victory that he summoned.

But it’s the degree of realism at this moment—very close to the original.

Ian realized that there was an extremely powerful source of magic nearby that was emitting magic power.

They offset the drawback of the constant depletion of memory projection and further strengthen it.

Ian was not the only one who was surprised. Cu Chulainn also showed a surprised expression.

"It's actually a sword?"

"Interesting, let me meet you!"

Cu Chulainn's eyes began to burn.

"Flame Falls!"

"Burn it all up here!"

In an instant, Cu Chulainn was engulfed in flames beyond imagination.

It rushed towards Ian like a surging wave, as if it wanted to swallow him up.

If a normal person saw this scene, he would probably give up the idea of ​​resisting on the spot.

But it's a pity.

Ian is not a normal person.

Since there is a sufficient source of magic power nearby to improve my "memory projection" to an effect comparable to the real thing -

There are so many things that can be done!

Ian raised the Excalibur Galatine in his hand.

With the blessing of high magic power, the chanting words echoed in his mind.

"This sword is a symbol of the sun. Wherever it is swung, fire will sweep across the land."

"Excalibur Galatine!"

In an instant, the imitation sword in the man's hand burst into a dazzling light.

The flowing light of the sun was concentrated on the sword like a thread in an instant.

It's now--!

Ian held the Excalibur Galatine horizontally and then slashed forward.

A blaze of fire, strong enough to touch all of Cu Chulainn's flames, flew forward.

Bang!

The flames collided together, forming a powerful explosion.

When the smoke cleared, a deep pit appeared on the ground.

"Ah."

Cu Chulainn looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but reveal excitement in his eyes.

"So he's a swordsman who uses fire?"

"You... do have some skills."

Ian did not answer Cu Chulainn.

Because he wasn't here to chat with this legendary hero.

Since the other party initiated the attack, it can be said that he is hostile.

So--

Make a few more effective attacks before your Excalibur Galatine disappears!

There was a bang.

The flames that emanated from the sword swept across the ground again.

In a short period of time, the offensive and defensive situation of Ian and Cu Chulainn was reversed.

but--

Looking at the flames flying towards him, Cu Chulainn also had no intention of dodging them.

"Ha, it's really interesting."

"If possible, I really hope to have a face-to-face confrontation with you after getting a gun."

"but--"

"Even with a staff, I can knock you down!"

Cu Chulainn raised the magic wand in his hand and pointed it to the sky.

He began to chant the words to release magic, and the time around him seemed to slow down a little.

"~My magic is a cage of blazing flames~"

"~A green giant like thorns~"

"~Karma~"

"~The Shrine of Purification of Human Affairs~"

In the heavy pit formed by the previous flame collision, hard trees began to grow at a speed beyond imagination.

They overlapped according to a certain pattern, and then grew wildly to form the shape of a human.

On this framework, their branches continue to intertwine, finally forming an extremely hard shell.

The giant in the sky rose up from the ground, casting a dark shadow on the pit-like ground.

Ian gasped.

Just as he thought, the Cu Chulainn in front of him was a true Caster (magician).

The tree giant in front of you is his magic.

but--

Ian was somewhat puzzled about the countermeasures Cu Chulainn was taking at this moment.

Magic, after all, is just a way of reproducing basic principles.

It does not have the ability to break the laws.

No matter how strong a tree is, it cannot withstand fire.

Moreover, this was sunlight swung out by a replica of the Excalibur Galatine. How could it be countered?

Ian's idea was of course correct.

But Cu Chulainn's solution to the problem was far simpler than he had imagined.

The tree giant swung his huge fist and smashed it at the bottom of his feet.

With a thud.

It actually tore off a large piece of the ground and then lifted it up.

Huhu——!

The flames blew over the "shield" formed on the ground, and soon died unwillingly.

"It seems that I am still better."

Cu Chulainn looked at Ian with great interest.
