Unfortunately, Mordred was a careless person by nature, so she naturally didn't notice Reines' disappearance at all.

When she saw Qin Chuan appear before her, a look of surprise and delight appeared on her face. She then raised her sword at the still-unresponsive Qin Chuan and shouted excitedly:

"You finally showed up! Last time you weren't interested in me at all, but this time I'll make sure you understand that I'm worth being eaten too!"

"……what?"

Rin Tohsaka, standing not far behind Mordred, was also stunned when she heard Mordred suddenly make this strange declaration.

Chapter 498 Mordred the Brat

To Rin Tohsaka, Mordred's statement was naturally riddled with problems.

What normal person would strive to be eaten? But Mordred's words just now seemed to suggest that she hoped Qin Chuan would eat her.

Rin Tohsaka was momentarily confused about the meaning of Mordred's "eat," wondering if it meant "eat" in the literal sense, or something more profound.

However, based on common sense, Rin Tohsaka still felt that Mordred's "eat" might refer to the emotional aspect of "eating" rather than her literal meaning.

After all, the idea of ​​cannibalism was too bizarre, and she simply couldn't imagine such a scene.

But this time Rin Tohsaka was wrong – Mordred's "eat" really meant literally eating.

"...I see, so you have memories left over from the singularity."

Hearing Mordred's explosive statement right off the bat, Qin Chuan couldn't help but chuckle, understanding Mordred's situation.

He hadn't expected Rin Tohsaka to summon Mordred... after all, the two didn't seem to be very compatible.

To be honest, when he saw that Illya's Servant was actually Shitonai, he wondered if Rin Tohsaka would summon Ishtar or Ereshkigal.

In FGO, these two goddesses also possessed Rin Tohsaka's body, manifesting in the world through possession, which is similar to the way Shido-nai did.

Qin Chuan was quite puzzled when he saw that Rin Tohsaka's Servant was Mordred.

What surprised Qin Chuan even more was that Mordred, summoned by Rin Tohsaka, actually had memories of the singularities Qin Chuan had experienced before.

The Servants are merely projections of the Heroic Spirits on the Throne of Heroes. After these Servants who appear in various worlds die, the Throne of Heroes may not necessarily receive their memories.

Therefore, it is common for the same Servant to be summoned in different worlds and at different times, but without any memory of being summoned before.

Unless it's a Servant clone with some particularly memorable memory, the Heroic Spirit itself might deliberately try to remember it.

"Your differential treatment of me and Gawain is something I will definitely remember."

Upon hearing this, Mordred grinned, her gaze towards Qin Chuan as sharp as a wild beast's—just like the "Rampage" blessing the Lion King had bestowed upon her.

"This time, I'll make you understand my worth!"

In the singularity, Qin Chuan devoured Gawain but spared her, which was hardly a mercy to her; instead, it fueled Mordred's competitive spirit.

Therefore, this memory was eventually remembered by Mordred himself in Valhalla, and if nothing unexpected happens, Mordred will remember this in every world's Servant in the future.

Her current goal is to make Qin Chuan recognize her value, and she won't let him off the hook until he fully acknowledges it.

With a low shout, Mordred's figure vanished from the spot and reappeared in front of Qin Chuan, his greatsword slashing fiercely at Qin Chuan's head!

A tremendous force emanated from above Qin Chuan's head. As a Heroic Spirit, Mordred's greatsword was naturally far more powerful than Lyselette's giant axe.

However, just as 1 and 2 are small numbers compared to 10000, Mordred's power is stronger than Liselite's, but it is still only a scratch on Qin Chuan.

Clang!

The sharp greatsword struck Qin Chuan's forehead, producing a crisp sound like metal clashing, and Qin Chuan couldn't even tilt his head.

"so hard!"

Mordred was startled—although Gawain's miserable state in her memory was enough to prove Qin Chuan's strength, the fact that her attack couldn't even break through the opponent's defense still made her heart sink.

"Damn it, since that's the case... then let's unleash our Noble Phantasms and settle this once and for all!"

Mordred originally intended to test Qin Chuan first, but this probing attack made her realize how big the gap was between herself and Qin Chuan.

Mordred came with the goal of proving her worth, but ended up not even being able to leave a scratch on the other party, which was unacceptable to her pride.

Moreover, this scene always reminded Mordred of her "father"—Artoria.

She had been trying to prove her worth to Artoria throughout her life, but she failed in the end and instead personally caused the downfall of the King of the Round Table.

For a moment, Qin Chuan's face seemed to faintly overlap with Artoria's—the roar of pride made Mordred unleash her Noble Phantasm without hesitation:

"Clarent BloodArthur (rebellion against my magnificent father)!!!"

Mordred's "Radiant King's Sword" emitted a blinding red light, condensing into a terrifyingly large sword aura, which he fiercely swung towards Qin Chuan.

In an instant, the entire street was enveloped in red light. Rin Tohsaka stared blankly as Mordred unleashed her Noble Phantasm on Qin Chuan without even asking a question, and felt a chill run down her spine.

Although she had noticed that Mordred's personality was somewhat impatient, this level of impatience was truly beyond her imagination—did this Servant release her Noble Phantasm without even telling her Master?!

297 And more importantly... Although Mordred unleashed her Noble Phantasm, directly blasting Qin Chuan head-on with a red beam of light.

However, the effects of that A+ rank anti-military Noble Phantasm are probably not as satisfactory as expected.

"How about that? Taking a hit from a powerful weapon without any warning..."

Mordred unleashed her Noble Phantasm with all her might in one breath, using up almost all her energy. She looked ahead, panting, and saw that the spot where Qin Chuan was standing was shrouded in smoke.

That was the dust kicked up after the entire street was blown up—at the very least, the Church of Christensen will have to deal with the aftermath.

Who knows, we might have to bribe the gas company and have them say it was a gas explosion or something...

However, the smile on Mordred's face froze the next moment—because as the smoke cleared, Qin Chuan appeared unharmed in front of her.

Mordred's Noble Phantasm "Rebellion Against My Magnificent Father" is indeed powerful, as evidenced by its A+ rank rating.

However, Qin Chuan had already been bathed in the light cannon of the A++-rank "Excalibur" during the previous Holy Grail War, not to mention that Qin Chuan's current strength is more than a hundred times stronger than it was then.

"Disobedient brats need to be taught a lesson."

Qin Chuan grinned, his gaze towards Mordred seeming quite dangerous.

Chapter 499 Negotiation Skills with Unruly Children

The atmosphere in Reines's base living room was rather subtle.

The coffee table in the center of the living room was moved aside, and Mordred, whose hands and feet were tightly bound by zippers with "steel chain fingers," lay there, clearly Qin Chuan's prisoner.

However, judging from Mordred's still eager expression, it was clear that Mordred did not feel like a prisoner and even wanted to continue challenging Qin Chuan.

Meanwhile, Mordred's Master, Rin Tohsaka, sat on the sofa to the side, her face full of helplessness, speechless at Mordred's actions.

She truly regretted telling Mordred about Qin Chuan. Now, Mordred had taken it upon herself to attack Reines, only to be captured alive by Qin Chuan.

Reines, on the other hand, was sitting on another sofa—she had some wounds from Mordred's attack, but they had mostly healed by now.

That was the healing effect of Avalon. In the original work, Avalon could even heal fatal wounds, so Reines's minor flesh wounds were naturally no problem.

As her wound healed automatically, she also looked at Rin Tohsaka with a very dangerous gaze.

Although Rin Tohsaka just said that Mordred acted without authorization, Rin Tohsaka is Mordred's Master after all, so she should take responsibility for her injuries.

For Rin Tohsaka, a participant in the Holy Grail War, the responsibilities she bears are quite simple.

"Mr. Qin Chuan! Quickly eliminate this heroic spirit!"

Reines glared at Mordred through gritted teeth—she didn't care who Mordred was. Even if King Arthur himself came, she wouldn't be polite, let alone if Mordred was a member of the Knights of the Round Table.

"This woman is our enemy; we cannot show her any mercy!"

Reines was chased and made a mess of things by Mordred just now, which could be considered a dark chapter in her life, given her usual politeness.

"You guy...!"

Rin Tohsaka also looked at Reines with displeasure—although the name El-Melloi was intimidating, Rin Tohsaka wasn't easily intimidated.

The Mage's Association is now taking good care of the Tohsaka family because of Qin Chuan. So what if El-Melloi is the ruler of the Clock Tower? He still has to listen to Qin Chuan.

The fact that Qin Chuan didn't immediately send Mordred back to Valhalla, but instead tied her up and brought her back inside, means there's still room for things to turn around.

Although from the perspective of the Holy Grail War, Rin Tohsaka and Qin Chuan are indeed enemies, putting aside the Holy Grail War factor, she and Qin Chuan are close former Masters!

……shrink from

Leaving aside the standoff between Reines and Rin Tohsaka—although Reines was eager to eliminate Rin and Mordred as soon as possible, she still relinquished control to Qin Chuan.

Normally, as the Master, she should be in control, but Qin Chuan's strength is too great, so it's not Qin Chuan who relies on Reines's magic, but rather Reines who relies on Qin Chuan's protection. (8)

While Reines and Rin Tohsaka were bickering, Qin Chuan squatted down and looked at Mordred, who was restrained and lying on her side on the floor, with a somewhat subtle expression.

"Mordred, do you really want to be eaten by me that badly~?" (5)

The reason Qin Chuan didn't kill Mordred outright and send her back to Valhalla was mainly because he sensed Mordred's somewhat exaggerated obsession.

Mordred's pride was deeply wounded by her actions in the singularity, so much so that her original Heroic Spirit remembered it. (Lin)

If Qin Chuan doesn't deal with this guy properly, he might not be able to live peacefully in the Type-Moon world anymore—who knows when this guy might come and challenge him. Si

Although Mordred's strength posed no threat to Qin Chuan, just as an adult finds insects annoying, he didn't want to be constantly bothered by Mordred in the future. (Lin)

"That's right, I'm no worse than Gawain!"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Mordred's gaze immediately burned with intensity. She stared intently into Qin Chuan's eyes and spoke earnestly.

"I'll show you that I'm far more valuable than Gawain, and therefore more worthy of being devoured!"

Mordred's remarks made Qin Chuan facepalm—this kind of brainless thinking was very much in line with Mordred's personality. Who would want to compete with others in this regard?

Qin Chuan suddenly felt that he might have become Mordred's new target for approval—did this guy want Artoria's approval when he was alive, and now he wants his approval after he dies?

However, since she wants recognition, Qin Chuan will give it to her:

"Alright, I'll devour you now. Are you satisfied now? Don't bother me again."

Although Mordred didn't have much value to be devoured, Qin Chuan wouldn't mind using "Blackbird Requiem" to devour her in order to prevent her from causing trouble again in the future.

Anyway, this guy is only in the form of a Servant in the present world, which is a kind of familiar. Eating her will not affect Mordred's Heroic Spirit body, and Qin Chuan will not feel guilty.

However, after hearing Qin Chuan's words, Mordred suddenly frowned and said to Qin Chuan:

"You're only eating me now because you find me annoying, not because you acknowledge my abilities, right?"

Qin Chuan's lips twitched—he had already agreed to eat her, but she still seemed unwilling, insisting on getting Qin Chuan's approval first.

The problem is that Mordred's abilities are limited. Although Qin Chuan had limited knowledge of the Type-Moon universe before his transmigration and wasn't a deep fan of its lore, he still had a basic understanding of Mordred's abilities.

Aside from the armor and the special royal sword artifact, there was nothing particularly special about her. Qin Chuan couldn't think of any value in her that would make him want to actively devour her.

"...Well, you want my approval, right?"

After thinking for a while, Qin Chuan finally said this to Mordred.

“I will let you go this time and give you plenty of time to prepare—(Liao Nuo Zhao)—whether you want to gather intelligence, ask for outside help, or plan a sneak attack, I will give you another chance to attack me.”

As he spoke, Qin Chuan held up one finger to Mordred and gently shook it:

"This is the only chance I'm giving you. All you have to do is hurt me during this opportunity—Gawain didn't even leave a scratch on me. If you can do that, it proves you're stronger than Gawain."

Although this sounds like sophistry, it's very effective against someone like Mordred whose thought process is like that of a child.

Ultimately, the reason Mordred was so resentful was because Qin Chuan ate Gawain but didn't eat her.

Now that Mordred has a chance to prove she's better than Gawain, wouldn't she obediently listen to him?

Sure enough, Mordred's eyes lit up upon hearing this:

"Alright! It's settled then! We'll decide the winner with this opportunity!" said the slave.

Chapter 500 Matou Sakura is furious.

"You really let them go? It was such a good opportunity to get rid of an enemy."

After Rin Tohsaka and Mordred left, Reines, sitting on the sofa, looked at Qin Chuan with a somewhat resentful gaze and couldn't help but say something.

“I am your Master now. Rin Tohsaka was just your Master in the past. You should look at me more now, instead of worrying about old feelings.”

Reines' tone was exactly like that of a current girlfriend who is extremely jealous of her boyfriend still contacting his ex-girlfriend, which made Qin Chuan both amused and exasperated.

She believes that Qin Chuan let Rin Tohsaka and Mordred go because he still cared about his past relationship with Rin Tohsaka.

Reines didn't know what was going on, but the thought that Qin Chuan, who was clearly a Servant she had summoned, was still entangled with someone else made her feel very uncomfortable.

For Reines, who has lacked a sense of security since childhood, she finally felt a sense of security from Qin Chuan, and at this moment she really didn't want to share this feeling with anyone else.

As the heir to the El-Melloi family, Reines was very polite to Qin Chuan, but deep down she was still somewhat willful.

"Don't worry, I've already made things clear with Mordred. Even if she attacks, she'll only target me, not you, 297."

Qin Chuan was unaware that Reines' possessiveness was acting up. He assumed that Reines was worried about being attacked by Mordred again, so he comforted her.
