Mo Li still had a lingering doubt. Even if it was Darius III, he should be a Berserker, not a Rider. That didn't make sense.
This subtle change made Mo Li feel uneasy, as it was different from the Holy Grail War in his memory.
This means that this place is very likely not the site of the Fifth Holy Grail War.
However, characters like Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka match up, and even Artoria was summoned through Avalon, so the timeline should be correct.
Mo Li's mind went blank for a moment; it seemed this time things really weren't so simple.
"Oh dear, I thought I would be the first to summon a Servant, but it turns out someone else beat me to it."
The Rider's Master spoke first; judging from his attire, he was probably a student with a faint amount of magical energy within him.
After hearing what he said, Mo Li didn't have time to think about anything else and just wanted to deal with the person in front of her.
"You're not bad either. With such weak strength, you dare to act wildly in front of me."
"Tch, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you summoned Saber. It's not certain who will win."
"I don't know who would win between Saber and Rider, but if I find a chance to kill you, Rider definitely can't save you!"
Mo Li was confident that ordinary magicians would be no match for him, let alone students.
Mo Li's words caused the opposing Master to lean back and hide behind Darius III.
"Hmph, don't be so smug. My Rider is invincible. There are too many of you today, so I'll let you off the hook for now!"
After the student finished speaking, he left with Darius III.
Darius III seemed quite obedient, showing none of the Berserker's ferocity.
"Interesting. It seems someone is going to be the first to leave this Holy Grail War."
"Master, there is one thing I must make clear: your only responsibility is to provide support from behind me. Leave the battles to me!"
"I'm sorry, I can't do that!"
Mo Li's refusal made Artoria's expression turn somewhat unpleasant, as she still vividly remembered what Kiritsugu Emiya had done back then.
But Mo Li's next words made Artoria realize that he was fundamentally different from Kiritsugu Emiya.
“Servant against Servant, Master against Master, I am the Demon King, how could I hide behind you?”
"But, Master, you..."
"Don't underestimate your Master, Saber, let's battle!"
Mo Li formally challenged Artoria to a battle, wanting to know just how far he was from becoming a Servant, so he could plan for the future.
Artoria was about to refuse, in her mind, humans were absolutely no match for Servants.
But this time Mo Li was serious. His golden eyes lit up, and he knew he couldn't refuse the Demon King's challenge.
"Master, I see your eyes. Servant Saber, whose true name is King Arthur Artoria Pendragon, accepts your challenge!"
Mo Li nodded, his golden eyes temporarily extinguished, and he returned to his residence with Artoria.
The place is sparsely populated and rarely visited, and it also has a large open space, which is perfect as a battleground.
The two stood facing each other. As the Knight King, Artoria had changed into blue armor and drew her holy sword.
However, in Mo Li's view, he couldn't see through the appearance of the Holy Sword at all.
Mo Li knew that this was because of the Wind King's barrier, which completely made the Holy Sword invisible.
"Master, prepare for battle!"
"Ah, come here, Saber, let me see the heroic figure of the King of Knights."
A furious rage appeared in Mo Li's hand. The horse-slaying saber moved with the ease of a fingertip in his hand, and his golden eyes suddenly lit up.
Knowing that Artoria wouldn't attack first, Mo Li stepped forward with his sword and thrust it straight at Artoria's face.
With a clang, the fury was stopped by the holy sword, and the aftershocks of the Wind King's barrier even grazed Mo Li.
It seems that under normal conditions, there is absolutely no way to damage it, so the only option is to unleash its full power.
After a second burst of blood, Mo Li's skin was covered in dragon scales, and his golden eyes shone even brighter.
Mo Li attacked again, leaping more than three meters high and following up with a powerful split, this time using all his strength.
Caught off guard, Artoria raised her sword to block, but was struck by Mo Li's full-force attack and staggered back a few steps.
Because Artoria possesses the Dragon Factor, she feels a sense of kinship with the hybrid within Mo Li.
"It's my turn next, Master!"
After two unsuccessful attacks, Artoria raised her holy sword and charged at Mo Li.
With his Observation Haki, Mo Li was able to clearly sense the direction of the Holy Sword's attack each time and dodge it with ease.
But they had no chance to fight back and could only keep retreating.
"Third burst of blood!"
With his passive invulnerability skill and remaining rational, Mo Li wasn't worried about becoming like Deadpool.
After her third burst of blood, Mo Li now had the power to retaliate, occasionally finding openings in Artoria's attacks and launching counterattacks.
The presence of Observation Haki has saved Mo Li countless times, allowing him to dodge fatal blows time and time again.
Judging from martial arts skills, Mo Li could barely fight him after his third blood surge, but the final result would definitely be his defeat.
However, the boost to blood volume isn't just limited to one's physical attributes.
"Yan Ling·Jun Yan!"
The enormous flames emanating from Mo Li headed toward Artoria.
Sensing its temperature and power, Artoria dared not be careless, raising the holy sword and unleashing a burst of magic.
"Wind King Hammer!"
The Wind King Barrier wrapped around the Holy Sword was released at once and collided with the flames.
With a deafening roar, an explosion rang out, and a fiery tornado tens of meters high shot up from the spot.
Chapter 8: Cú Chulainn the Big Dog, and the Surprising Appearance of Rafe
The sight before them surprised both Mo 852 and Artoria, who never expected that their skills could be combined to create a new form.
At that moment, Mo Li's strength was also running out, and he deactivated his dragon form, reverting to his original appearance.
Through this battle, Mo Li also clearly realized how big the gap was between himself and the Servants.
Without the Servant unleashing their Noble Phantasm, Mo Li can handle the situation with her Bloodlust and Observation Haki.
This gave Mo Li considerable confidence, making him more certain of his ability to face other Masters.
"Master, are you okay?"
"It's nothing, I'm just a little exhausted. I'll be fine after a rest."
With Artoria's help, Mo Li returned to his room, lay on the bed, and pondered the future.
Artoria will definitely take one of the three available slots for her family.
Mo Li has no target yet for the other two spots. As he is on the elite path, he is destined not to choose some weak relatives. At the very least, they must have a special skill.
Mo Li has never mentioned taking Artoria as a familiar; his current focus is on increasing their bond.
After the Holy Grail War is over, perhaps we can finally win her over completely.
Right now, intelligence is still the most important thing. Even if we know it's not the Fifth Holy Grail War, Mo Li will not give up on gathering intelligence. After all, knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory.
Mo Li slept for a day and a night, while Artoria stayed by his side to guard him for the same day and night.
When Mo Li woke up again, it was already the morning of the next day.
"Master, you're awake. Are you feeling better?"
"It's alright, don't worry!"
After getting out of bed, Mo Li stretched and twisted her neck, only to find that her stomach was growling.
After sleeping for a day and a night, this situation is inevitable. Before gathering intelligence, let's fill our stomachs first.
"Saber, I'm going out to buy some groceries. You've had a long day, and the spiritual energy here is concentrated, so you can rest for a bit!"
"No, Master, I'll go with you."
"No need. You saw it in the last battle. There won't be any problems. Just focus on guarding your base."
Without giving Artoria another chance to refuse, Mo Li strode out of the house.
The last time I treated Artoria to dinner, I spent all of Mo Li's money. This time, I went out specifically to borrow money.
If she were to be brought along, Mo Li's little tricks wouldn't work.
She'd inevitably start nagging in his ear again, so Mo Li decided to just go by himself and not let Liya know.
As the saying goes, even a hero can be brought down by a penny; it seems that even the Great Demon King can't do without it.
Mo Li left the deep mountain town and arrived at a commercial street, a paradise for the rich.
This is also the best time for Mo Li to make her move; I doubt any Servant would be strolling around here.
As Mo Li thought this, he searched for a target to strike.
Fortunately, cash payments are the norm in Dongmu. If they used QR codes, Mo Li would be devastated.
Just as Mo Li was about to make his move, his hand was suddenly grabbed by a force, and he heard a voice in his ear.
"Hey, young man, with such a handsome face, doing this kind of thing is utterly shameful!"
The Demon King, in order to support his servants, had actually fallen to this state and was even caught red-handed. Mo Li couldn't help but feel the deep malice of the world.
Mo Li turned around and saw a person wearing a black inner layer and a blue robe on top grabbing her.
Seeing this familiar makeup, Mo Li immediately recognized that this person was none other than Cú Chulainn, the Prince of Light of Ireland.
But why is it a Caster class, a blue spearman who spins and charges? How did it turn into a mage?
Before Mo Li could figure out why, Cú Chulainn had already become impatient.
"Hey buddy, I'm asking you a question. That's really rude of you!"
"Wang-chan, are you calling me?"
Mo Li habitually used Cú Chulainn's nickname, which made Cú Chulainn both angry and helpless.
"Who's called Wang Jiang? By the way, how do you know who I am?"
Mo Li casually hid the other hand with the Command Seal, but it was still spotted by the sharp-eyed Cú Chulainn.
"So you're a Master too. How bold of you to come out alone without a Servant!"
"Caster, who are you talking to? Come help me with these things, I can't carry them."
As the two were locked in a stalemate, a woman's voice came from behind Cú Chulainn; it seemed to be his Master.
Upon hearing his Master speak, Cú Chulainn released Moli's hand and took the package from the woman's hands.
At that moment, a scene suddenly appeared in Mo Li's mind: a burning, polluted city.
Memories of Singularity F, Chaldea, the Holy Grail, and Solomon resurfaced in Mori's mind.
The fact that Rider, Caster, and Saber have all appeared in the world means that the destruction of the world is not far away.
"I'll spare your life this time for the sake of your Master. Remember, kid, next time you go out, remember to bring your Servant!"
After Cu Chulainn finished speaking, he quickly followed the woman in front of him and did not choose to attack Mo Li.
Cú Chulainn is the only Servant who survived the Singularity, and Mo Li felt it necessary to remind him.
"Hey, Wang-chan, after the world is destroyed, remember to find me at the Fuyuki Bridge dock."
"Huh? What are you talking about? The end of the world?!"
Cú Chulainn wanted to say a few more words, but found that Mo Li had already left quickly.
Although he didn't understand what the destruction of the world in Mo Li Kou 89 meant (Part 4) (Part 4) 60, Cú Chulainn still kept it in mind.
At this moment, Mo Li was rushing home. Based on the timeline, Leif appeared shortly after the Holy Grail War began, and she needed to inform Artoria as soon as possible.
But shortly after Mo Li left, a dark figure appeared in front of Artoria from the void.
