Chapter Thirty-Seven The Curtain That Temporarily Falls
The sky was illuminated by the fluctuations caused by the collision of two beams of light. Looking at the beautiful scenery like an aurora displayed in the distance, many people enjoying the nightlife in Fuyuki City had expressions of wonder on their faces.
"Look, it's an aurora!"
"Isn't that a landscape that only appears in the Antarctic and Arctic?"
"Who knew? It's so beautiful!"
"..."
In Xindu, a red-haired high school student who was working moved a box of goods to the door and looked at the place where the aurora appeared, slightly stunned.
"Shirou, hurry up!"
However, after hearing the shouts from the people behind him, the high school student hurriedly ran out of the store.
…
On the other side, a figure hurriedly walked out of the villa area, his whole body hidden in a cloak. Looking at the aurora in the distance, he couldn't help but frown.
"With a collision of this level, could it be said that in this Holy Grail War, a hero with the status of a god was summoned?"
Shaking his head, the man hiding in the cloak looked at his somewhat blurred hands and smiled coldly.
"Forget it, what does this have to do with me? I will disappear soon anyway."
…
In Deep Mountain Town, looking at the fluctuations that erupted in the church in the distance, the eyes of an old man who looked unknown how old he was, leaning on a cane, flickered, and a terrifying smile appeared on his face.
"Even a heroic spirit of this level appears, so I have to make some preparations."
…
In a luxurious old-fashioned villa, a girl who was sleeping soundly on the bed buried her face in the pillow and uttered a few words as if talking in her sleep.
"Holy Grail...war..."
…
For ordinary people, the aurora that broke out that night was just something they would talk about the next day. After that, countless experts and professors would definitely rack their brains to explain this phenomenon.
For those who know the inside story, this light heralds the official start of the first battle of the Holy Grail War.
Even the Kotomine Church, which is a neutral party, was moved to the ground due to the collision between two servants. This time, the Holy Grail War may be more cruel than everyone imagined.
In the ruins that were bombarded to the ground, a handsome young man lying on the ground looked at the sky and suddenly burst into exaggerated laughter.
"Haha, interesting, it's so interesting that you can actually explode with such a level of power. In this way, wouldn't even I be at a disadvantage?"
"Moreover, you dare to abandon me and pursue your master. It is really bold. He is obviously such a powerful person, but he is like a loyal rabid dog."
"Unknown hero, I will forgive you this time, but next time, I will definitely take your head."
…
In the dark jungle, Bazett, who was running with Illya in his arms, suddenly felt his eyes go dark, tripped on a branch, and fell to the ground together with Illya in his arms.
"Have you reached your limit?"
Bazett wanted to stand up, but found that his hands and feet couldn't even use any strength.
Even though he was so seriously injured, he was still able to run for a kilometer with Illya. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was probably no different from a monster.
However, the unwillingness in Bazett's heart was still so strong that it was about to overflow.
Why? Why betray her? If you want to become a participant in the Holy Grail War, you don't need to use this method at all. Isn't the reason why she participated in this Holy Grail War precisely because of Kotomine Kirei's recommendation?
Bazett knew very well that if Duen and Ilia hadn't come to save her this time, she might have died by now.
The person who was supposed to be her companion betrayed her, but the person who was her enemy saved her. No matter how firm Bazett's will was, her heart could not help but waver.
Although they have carried out so many missions together, Bazett only truly realized the true nature of Kotomine Kirei today.
Because of her innocence, she gave Kotomine Kirei a chance to take advantage of her, otherwise she would not be in this situation.
Looking at his left wrist, Bazett gritted his teeth and stood up again.
But at this moment, Illya's exclamation sounded from the side.
"careful!"
A heavy kick kicked Bazett several meters away. Bazett hunched over, barely raised her head, and finally saw who was attacking her.
"lan...cer..."
After struggling to utter these two syllables, Bazett saw Cu Chulainn's indifferent gaze.
"It's really embarrassing. If you were a normal person, you would be fine even if you fight me head-on."
Looking at Cu Chulainn, Bazett smiled, but reluctantly stood up.
"Yes, because I was too stupid to let things turn out like this."
She regained her stance, and even though she could hardly open her eyelids due to blood loss and lack of oxygen to her brain, she had no intention of lowering her head.
Even though Cu Chulainn was once her servant and the two of them lived happily together, Bazett knew that as long as he became an enemy, the man in front of him would not be merciful.
"So, goodbye!"
After giving Bazett an indifferent look, Cu Chulainn raised the spear in his hand.
"Really, I can't stand it anymore."
At this moment, Illya's dissatisfied voice sounded from the side, and several white familiars made of hair flew towards Cu Chulainn.
After knocking down these familiars with one shot, Cu Chulainn glanced at Illya and coldly snorted: "A meaningless struggle."
Taking advantage of this moment when Cu Chulainn was distracted, Bazett once again launched an attack on Cu Chulainn. However, Bazett, who was already so weak, failed even if he tried his best to attack Cu Chulainn.
Put in his eyes.
"This time, it's really over."
Cu Chulainn shook his head. Just as his spear was about to fall again, an earth-shattering sound erupted from the distant battlefield where Dun and Gilgamesh were fighting.
Cu Chulainn looked at the place where the two people were fighting with some envy. Such a battle was exactly what he wanted to experience, but he also understood that his bastard master would definitely not let him get his wish.
With so many command spells, even if he wanted to resist, he couldn't.
The spear in his hand fell down without hesitation, but something unexpected happened again.
"berserker!!"
Following Illya's cry, a figure covered in blood crossed the obstacles of space and came to Cu Chulain's side. The moment Cu Chulain's spear fell, he blocked the spear.
"What?"
Seeing the sudden appearance of Duen, Cu Chulainn's expression changed, and then he showed an ecstatic smile.
"Haha, the fact that you appear here means that you have won. In this way, the battle between the two of us can continue."
Nothing excites him more than having Cú Chulainn fight against a powerful enemy. Cú Chulainn is quite shameless towards Kotomine Kirei's practice of single-mindedly picking on his master.
In his opinion, even if it is a sneak attack, the servant should be attacked by surprise. What is the point of attacking and killing the weak servant?
Now, seeing Du En appear here, it means that Du En has probably defeated that arrogant King of Heroes.
However, after hearing Cu Chulainn's words, Du En smiled bitterly.
"It's not about who wins and who loses. If we really have to fight that guy with all our strength, we won't be able to tell the difference for a whole day and a night."
Even if he risked his life like this, he could not kill Gilgamesh. At most, he could only repel him. It took a long time to kill Gilgamesh who took out the Lock of Heaven and the Sword of Deviation.
It can be done in half an hour.
"So, do you want to fight me now? If you want to continue, I can accompany you."
He received a look of affirmation from Illya, and with Illya's magic power, he could continue to fight.
After hearing Du En's words, Cu Chulainn didn't hesitate at all and laughed loudly.
"of course, I……"
However, the smile on his face disappeared in the next second.
Putting away the spear in his hand boredly, Cu Chulainn turned his back and glanced at Duen.
"Forget it, who told me that my current master is a coward, and because of the oath, I can't exert my full strength even if I fight you now. Let's leave the battle between us to the next time, I hope before that
, you don’t want to be killed by other servants.”
After hearing Cu Chulainn's words, Du En shook his head and smiled.
"I should be telling you this, don't leave the show so early."
Looking at Cu Chulainn's leaving figure, Du En knew that tonight's battle had finally come to an end.
Chapter completed!
