One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

When Mashu successfully unfolded her Noble Phantasm, this phase of training came to an end. However, since she still didn't know the true name of the Noble Phantasm, she devised a temporary spell:

——[Imaginary Noble Phantasm, simulated deployment!]

Everyone rested for a while in the church near Yuanzang Mountain, and then the decisive battle would begin.

"How about it? Mashu, Ritsuka, the decisive battle will be soon, are you two ready?" Bronya walked over slowly with a gentle smile on her face, very friendly.

"Ms. Bronya."

Seeing Bronya approach, Mashu wanted to stand up from her seat and salute. As expected of her junior, she was very polite.

"Okay, okay, you can be as casual as you want, Mash. We're already friends, aren't we?"

Bronya stopped Mashu and took the seat next to her. Then, she looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka who was sitting on the other side of Mashu and said, "And you, Ritsuka, you have to work hard too~"

???

"But I'm just an ordinary person." It was obvious that Fujimaru Ritsuka had not yet adapted to the situation.

"No, when you become the last Master of mankind, you are no longer an ordinary person." Bronya said in a faint voice, inadvertently revealing something.

"What are you talking about, Bronya? What about humanity's last Master? Are you talking about me?"

"You have to find the answer yourself."

Bronya didn't explain, just smiled gently at the two of them and left.

……

After a while, Mashu's physical strength and magic power that had been lost in the previous battle gradually recovered. It was time to embark on the final journey to defeat Saber.

then……

"call out--!"

The group had barely reached Mount Yuanzang, but they were already within Red A's range. An arrow, swirled with crimson magic, pierced the air from afar—an ultra-long-range shot from Red A.

"Senior, be careful!"

Mashu and Cu Chulainn reacted almost simultaneously. Mashu quickly blocked Fujimaru Ritsuka with a cross shield, protecting him firmly behind her.

At the same time, Bronya also began to move. The opponent was Archer, and his arms were indeed very long, but they were not without countermeasures.

Light blue magic gathered and formed a sniper rifle in Bronya's hands... The overall structure was extremely sophisticated, a true cutting-edge technology, embodying advanced technical concepts.

“Shoot——!”

Bronya gently squeezed the trigger, and light blue particles gathered at the cold muzzle. It took only a moment for the energy to be fully accumulated, and then... a beam of light instantly cut through the sky and headed straight for Red A.

"Fight back?"

Having suffered a loss at the hands of Bai Ye before, Red A didn't dare underestimate this shot and quickly dodged it. Unfortunately, he still underestimated Bronya's methods.

"boom!!!"

The beam of light landed on the position where Red A was before, suddenly triggering a terrifying energy fluctuation. The earth trembled and a huge pillar of light shot up into the sky.

——This is totally going to blow up the place!

"Ahem, you're really not polite at all."

At the last moment, Red A's combat instincts kicked in, and he still made some defensive moves. But even so, he still coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood with difficulty.

On the other side, while the two were sniping each other, Cu Chulainn also rushed towards the position of Red A with a staff.

"This guy……"

The black mud surged within Red A's body, gradually healing his wounds. He saw Cu Chulainn—the Lancer who had stabbed him that year! (Don't think I don't recognize him just because I've changed my staff.)

Red A gripped the pitch-black bow tightly in his hand, and several arrows were quickly projected out.

"Shhhh-"

He released the bowstring, and the arrow instantly cut through the sky, falling towards Cu Chulainn along a perfect parabola.

"That won't do. Since Bronya is here to cover us, we can't let you interfere with our attackers~" Bronya fired several shots in succession, accurately intercepting the arrows.

"Is that Bronya?"

Seeing this, Cu Chulainn stopped his evasive movements and showed a smug smile on his face, "You're really reliable. Now I can let go of my hands and feet."

After that, he just charged forward, ignoring Red A's sniper attack, and left everything to Bronya behind him.

And Bronya did not disappoint him. She shot down Red A's arrows again and again, protecting Cu Chulainn as he approached the top of the mountain little by little.

"Don't even think about escaping this time!"

Finally, Red A entered Cu Chulainn's casting range. He swung his staff, and the familiar fireball started, and under his control, it fell towards Red A.

"Then let's compete."

Red A quickly drew his bow and arrow, firing down the fireballs one by one. Cú Chulainn rushed too fast, leaving the main force far behind. And in a one-on-one fight... the outcome was still uncertain.

Then, Red A advanced instead of retreating, instantly creating Gan Jiang and Mo Ye to charge towards Cu Chulainn! He was still more accustomed to hand-to-hand combat.

“Ding, ding——”

Not to be outdone, Cu Chulainn wielded his wooden staff with great force, blocking Red A's double blades. "Hahaha, Archer, is this all you can do?"

"It's enough to use against you."

As he spoke, Red A suddenly threw the short knife in his right hand, and then quickly projected a connecting attack. The blade spun in his hand and slashed towards Cu Chulainn with his backhand.

"clang--!"

Because he was a Caster, Cu Chulainn's strength was greatly weakened and he was pushed back a step. But then, a smile of triumph appeared on his face, and he tapped the ground lightly with his staff.

"What?"

Red A finally noticed the faint fluctuations of magic power beneath his feet, but it was too late. Rhizomes as thick as dragons emerged from the ground and quickly closed in on him.

Of course, Cu Chulainn also knew that this would not trap Red A, so...

"boom--!"

The next moment, the roots exploded rapidly, sparking a red wave of fire that spread out in all directions.

A figure rushed out from the waves of fire. Red A was covered in black smoke and looked quite disheveled. He knew that Cú Chulainn had retrieved the magic spear and was specifically prepared for this, but he ignored the other party's ability as a Caster.

"Hahaha, as a Knight of the Third Rank, your 'anti-magic power' is exceptionally weak~ Even a slightly stronger magus could break through this level of anti-magic power, let alone someone like me who can hold the Caster rank."

While taunting Red A, Cu Chulainn was weaving a new great magic trick, and was just about to use his Noble Phantasm.

"Boom boom——!"

Another explosion, Red A rushed out from the heat wave of the explosion, and quickly threw out a large number of treasures with both hands, responding to Cu Chulainn, and then... the fantasy collapsed!

285. The Dark Swordsman

"boom--!"

Accompanied by a shocking explosion, a small mushroom cloud rose above Yuanzang Mountain, with billowing black smoke coming out of it.

After a while, two figures retreated from the area, their bodies still emitting a scorched smell. Even Cu Chulainn was at a disadvantage. Caster's body was so fragile.

"You're not that great either. Do you want to try with a gun? I saw you take the gun back earlier." Red A spun Gan Jiang and Moye in his hand, then challenged Cu Chulainn.

however……

!!!

At that moment, Red A felt a thorn in his side. A graceful figure appeared behind him, a deep blue blade wrapped in a jet-black lightning, slashing down at him fiercely.

Red A blocked with his backhand, but his response was too hasty and Bronya slashed him on the back.

"I'm sorry~ Although I also want a fair fight, this battle involves too much, so let's resolve it quickly." As he spoke, Cu Chulainn finally took out the scarlet magic spear.

The magic power was burning, wrapping around the gun blade bit by bit, and had already locked onto Red A.

——The spear that pierces the death thorns!

"Damn, this is trouble."

Only that one Noble Phantasm could block the causal spear, but...

"I'm sorry, Archer, but this time you have to leave here. We will defeat Saber and end this singularity."

Bronya almost turned into a phantom, appearing in front of Red A in an instant. A severed arm was thrown high into the air, splashing a large amount of blood. It really is karma!

"Pfft-"

Without the Seven Rings of Blazing Sky, the demonic spear pierced Red A's heart, and his eyes dimmed. (Tears welled up in my eyes. The Deaththorn Spear finally hit someone!)

……

"Great, now only Saber is left." After all, Fujimaru Ritsuka is still young and not that steady.

"It's too early to celebrate now~"

Having defeated Red A, Cu Chulainn was clearly in a good mood, his tone becoming more cheerful. But then, when he mentioned Saber, his expression grew serious again: "That Saber is not easy to deal with."

"Caster, from what you said, you know that Saber's real name?" (Olga Marie)

"Of course."

Cu Chulainn nodded, his tone becoming more serious. "Anyone who has been struck by that fellow's Noble Phantasm can guess his true name. After all, it's so recognizable."

"What kind of Noble Phantasm is it?" Mashu asked softly, her voice very soothing.

"The second Excalibur of the Chosen King is arguably the most famous holy sword of your time—the Sword of Promised Victory, the sword of the world-renowned Knight King."

!!!

Knight King?

A person's name is like a tree's shadow. Upon learning Saber's true name, everyone felt a surge of pressure. That was the Knight King; could they truly defeat him?

Neither Bai Ye nor Cu Chulainn said anything about this. They needed to figure it out on their own.

"We can, or rather, we must win! After all, there's no other way out, right?"

In the end, it was Fujimaru Ritsuka who was the first to cheer up. She was the Master after all, and she couldn't lose her mind, even for Mashu.

"That's right, Ritsuka, it's up to you now. You must find out the truth about this singularity. We will also provide you with assistance in Chaldea." The doctor also appeared.

——It’s time to start the final boss battle!

"come yet?"

A clear yet cold voice echoed from the dark cavern. Saber, clad in pitch-black armor, appeared before everyone with firm, powerful steps.

She possessed an astonishing magical power that was enough to crush everything, and just standing there made people feel a huge pressure.

"It seems he has failed."

At this time, Ritsuka and the others were finally able to see Saber clearly. With her short, light-blonde hair, unusually pale skin, and delicate features, she looked incredibly cute.

In contrast, Saber's ferocious magic power spread throughout the entire cave like a dark wave. The terrifying power was terrifying.

"Eh?!!"

Mashu, Fujimaru Ritsuka, and the others cried out in surprise: "Is the legendary Knight King actually a girl? What? Legends are not reliable at all!"

"Hey, Saber, how long have you been here? Would you like something to eat?"

At this moment, Bai Ye's cheerful voice rang out, tinged with a hint of mischievousness. He produced a pile of hamburgers out of thin air and manipulated gravity to send them towards Saber.

???

Bai Ye's actions were confusing. Cu Chulainn leaned over to him, put his arm around his shoulder, and lowered his voice, "Hey, Bai Ye, what are you doing?"

"Isn't this just making friends?"

"Ah, just based on this..."

Of course, Cu Chulainn didn't believe it. He had fought Saber before and knew her ferocity well. But... before he could finish his words, he heard a "cooing" sound.

He turned his head somewhat stiffly. The voice seemed to come from that Saber just now?

"Saber, can you talk to Bronya about the truth behind this singularity?"

Bai Ye was distracted by Cu Chulainn, so Bronya came forward to negotiate with Saber.
