Mo Li nodded, and just like in any battle, he prepared to go and support Cú Chulainn.
But this time, Cú Chulainn chose to refuse.
"Master, you and little sister go in together. I'm going to settle things with this guy!"
"Ha, are you crazy? The two of us could easily defeat Archer."
“I’m sorry, but this time I want to defeat him myself. And Master, it’s time for me to fulfill my responsibilities as a Servant. I can’t keep hiding behind you.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Li fell silent; it was the first time he had ever heard Cú Chulainn say such a thing.
Having fought side-by-side for so long, Mo Li hadn't even considered the fact that Cú Chulainn was a Servant.
But Cú Chulainn didn't think so. He had met many Masters, some with very poor compatibility and some with very good compatibility, but basically none of them had the same combat power as Mo Li.
This resulted in Cú Chulainn not truly fulfilling his duties as a Servant in combat, except for assisting Morpheus in setting up fireballs from the rear.
This time, facing Archer (Red Archer), Cú Chulainn wanted to truly do what a Servant should do.
Looking into Cú Chulainn's expectant eyes, Mo Li slowly nodded, revealing the Command Seals on his hand for the first time, while the Geass symbol appeared in his eyes.
"Since it's your request, then do it; in the name of Demon King Moli, Caster, bring me victory!"
With the Command Seal and the Eye of Geass activated simultaneously, Cú Chulainn felt his magical power increasing at an unprecedented rate, and his physical abilities also greatly improved.
In addition to making others obey orders, the Eye of Geass can also be used to unleash the potential of others.
"Yes, my Master!"
After doing all this, Mo Li took a deep look at Cú Chulainn, turned around, and ran deeper into the cave.
Red A saw Mo Li disappear and was about to give chase, but was blocked by Cú Chulainn.
"If you want to find my Master, you'll have to get past me first!"
A powerful beam of fire shot straight towards Red A, demonstrating Cú Chulainn's determination.
Cú Chulainn turned his head, watching Mo Li's figure gradually disappear, his eyes growing increasingly resolute.
"I didn't expect that my luck would change along with my Spirit Origin becoming a Caster?"
Cú Chulainn had never felt such a strong sense of responsibility before. His gaze toward Archer grew increasingly calm as he charged toward Archer, staff in hand, seemingly intending to engage in close combat.
After being subjected to Geass by Mori, Cú Chulainn felt that his physical abilities seemed to be developing in the direction of Lancer.
Red A, unaware of the changes that had occurred to Cú Chulainn, also abandoned his bow and sword, projecting Gan Jiang and Mo Xie to launch an attack on Cú Chulainn.
With a clang, the staff and the twin swords clashed together.
Archer (Red A) clearly sensed that Cú Chulainn's strength had increased significantly compared to before. Out of caution, Archer used his speed advantage to engage in a prolonged battle with Cú Chulainn.
"Hmph, don't forget, I'm a Caster!"
Cú Chulainn immediately saw through Archer's plan and continuously drew runes around himself. Once Archer launched an attack, he would definitely be hit by the runes.
Chapter 25 The Tacit Understanding Between Mo Li and Mashu
Deep within the cave, Artoria, wielding the black holy sword, slowly opened her eyes. She could sense that the person she was waiting for had arrived.
The red markings on his face emitted an eerie glow, sending chills down one's spine.
After catching up with Mashu and the other two, Mo Li gave a brief explanation and then entered the interior of the magic workshop with them, where the Greater Grail was located.
Looking at the enormous Holy Grail and the terrifying purple light it emitted, Gudako couldn't help but tremble.
"what is this?"
"Isn't this an ultra-high-grade magic core? Could this be the Greater Grail?!"
Olga said in disbelief, unable to believe what she was seeing.
Mo Li was prepared, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings, presumably Artoria was here.
"What an interesting Servant, Master. You've found quite a few helpful assistants."
Artoria's voice came from the top of the Greater Grail, and everyone quickly looked up.
Clad in jet-black armor, the dark holy sword in Artoria's hand radiated magic. Her ahoge (cowlick) had long since disappeared, and her entire being exuded a dangerous aura.
"Saber, it's been a long time!"
"She is Saber, her magic is so powerful!"
It seems that Artoria has become even stronger since her last attack on Moli.
However, Mo Li is no longer the same person who only knew how to unleash his blood, although he is still not as good as the current Artoria.
"Is she the Servant with the new contract with Master? She looks quite weak."
"I'm sorry, Mashu is not my Servant."
"Is that so? Then, unknown girl, what brings you here?"
Upon hearing that Mash was not Moli's Servant, Artoria's lips curled up slightly before she questioned him.
Mashu quickly stepped forward, not daring to be negligent in the slightest, and replied:
"To resolve the singularity and save human history!"
"Oh? So it's you then. Get ready, Shield Servant. Let this sword prove your defenses are impenetrable!"
Once Artoria was certain that Mash was the person she had been waiting for, she pointed her holy sword directly at Mash and unleashed her full magical power.
Mo Li, Mashu, and the others were also prepared to deal with any possible attacks from Artoria.
The black holy sword slashed down, but Mash successfully blocked it with her cross shield and launched a shield bash.
Artoria's previously expressionless face showed a hint of surprise. Mash's spirit origin was clearly weak, yet it was able to block her attack.
The aftershocks of the clash between the holy sword and the shield continued to impact Olga and Gudako behind them.
Seeing this, Olga threw the magic stone she had previously carved on the ground, forming a protective shield that protected the three of them. At the same time, she shouted to Mo Li:
"Why aren't you going up to help? Mashu alone can't defeat Saber!"
"No rush, this is something Mashu has to go through. I will naturally help if there is any danger."
"You, really..."
Olga looked anxiously at Mash, but the dust kicked up by their battle made it impossible for her to see anything except the clanging of metal coming from inside.
While attacking the shield, Artoria said to Mash:
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to attack? Don't you need to ask someone for help?"
Under passive defense, Mashu even found it difficult to speak, but remembering what Mo Li had once told her, she gritted her teeth and persevered.
Gudako couldn't stand it anymore and was about to step forward to help when Olga stopped her.
"Even if you go to help her, you'll only be a hindrance. No, you won't even qualify as a hindrance!"
"But Mashu, she..."
"If you have the same strength as Mo Li, I will never stop you."
Olga's words left Gudako stunned, unsure how to respond, and she lowered her head.
"I understand how you feel, but there's nothing you can do right now."
Another powerful blow struck, and Mash finally couldn't hold on any longer. She released her grip on the great shield and collapsed to the ground.
Artoria slowly stepped forward, carrying the holy sword; her footsteps sounded like the approach of death.
Mashu trembled as she crawled forward with all her might, trying to raise the great shield again to fight back.
Despite her injuries, Mash moved at a snail's pace, and the dark holy sword was about to strike her.
clang!
At the critical moment, Mo Li, wielding the Blade of Rebellion, blocked Artoria's fatal blow.
This relieved Gudako and Olga behind them. It seemed that as long as Mo Li was on the field, everyone felt reassured and believed that they would definitely win the battle.
Artoria seemed to have known all along that Mo Li would come to block her way, and her expression remained unchanged.
"Master, do you remember our last encounter?"
"Of course I remember. I was no match for you in either of our two encounters!"
In one normal sparring match and another life-or-death struggle, Mo Li suffered a crushing defeat, even nearly losing his life.
Even after transforming into a Blood Dragon four times, she still couldn't defeat Artoria.
"This time, I won't hold back!"
"I couldn't ask for more, Saber, but I'm not fighting alone."
"That little girl? Forgive my bluntness, but if it were that person wielding the shield, perhaps they would have a chance."
"How will you know if you don't try, Mashu!"
"Haa ...
Mashu leaped up from behind Moli, raising her shield high before slamming it down heavily on Artoria.
With a loud bang, the shield smashed a large crater into the ground.
Although she missed, Artoria seemed to see Galahad's shadow in Mash's eyes.
"I see. You are indeed very suitable for this shield. I take back what I just said!"
Mashu clearly didn't understand what Artoria was talking about, but that didn't affect her resolve.
Artoria has already come to see Mash as a formidable opponent, and she will show no mercy from now on.
The second round of battle begins!
This was the first time Mo Li and Mashu had fought together, but the effect they displayed was astonishing.
Three blood surges, the Blade of Rebellion awakens, and the Eye of Geass is fully activated.
Mo Li unleashed all the skills at her disposal to engage in a direct battle with Artoria.
Mash, on the other hand, provided support for Moli on the flanks, occasionally using her large shield to block Artoria's attacks.
The two fought side by side, sometimes attacking together, sometimes defending separately, each showcasing the charm of battle in their own way. Their tacit understanding was also on full display.
Gudako and Olga watched with great delight, as it seemed that victory was already assured.
Even with such a high frequency of attacks, Artoria was still able to handle them with ease.
Despite facing two opponents alone, Artoria held her own and even overpowered them at times.
The presence of Observation Haki allowed Mo Li to dodge wave after wave of sudden slashes, and Mash also launched an attack on Artoria based on Mo Li's knowledge.
In the end, Mo Li and Mashu had a higher level of understanding, and the Blade of Rebellion cut Artoria's waist.
Chapter 26 Oath 04278 Sword of Victory
Artoria quickly jumped away, covering the wound with her hand. Soon, a purple magical power covered the wound, and it was completely healed in just a few seconds.
However, this was within Mo Li's expectations. With Artoria's infinite magic power, healing a small wound would be a piece of cake, and his weapon didn't have any curse attributes.
Seeing their wounds heal, Gudako and Olga's hearts leaped into their throats again, and their hands clenched involuntarily.
"I must commend you, Master, you have indeed improved a lot since last time."
"It is truly an honor to receive praise from King Arthur!"
"But this ends here, Master!"
Artoria exuded black magic, raising her jet-black holy sword high, with magic continuously surging from the sword, eventually transforming into an ultimate pillar of light.
Mo Li's eyes were solemn. His Noble Phantasm, Excalibur, was the only attack that Mo Li could not withstand.
"As the King of Knights, let me greet you with the most solemn ceremony."
"Excalibur Morgan!"
A jet-black beam of light shot towards Mo Li and Mashu.
The beam of light struck Mash's large shield, and the resulting shockwave caused Gudako and Olga to fall to the ground.
Faced with such a massive energy beam, Mash's eyes showed not a trace of fear.
Mo Li could only hide under Mashu's large shield, and in this situation, his close combat was of no use.
"Mash, let's unleash our Noble Phantasms too!"
