How was the relationship between Scáthach and Cú Chulainn? Naturally, it was excellent.
As Scáthach's most prized disciple, she personally bestowed upon Cú Chulainn a Demonic Spear, and it was this very spear that helped Cú Chulainn achieve countless victories.
Scáthach was proud of her disciple, but as she guarded the Gate of the Land of the Dead, she couldn't leave, even though she could slaughter Deities. When she learned of Cú Chulainn's death, though furious, she was powerless.
And this woman before her, this woman named Medb! She was the one who caused Cú Chulainn's tragic death, committing evil deeds in the name of love! Such a person!
"Die!!"
*Boom!!*
Scáthach struck with hatred! The force was even stronger than her previous spear attack! The red Demonic Spear conjured bloody demonic flames, rushing towards Medb, but Medb on the throne remained calm!
"Flame God's Roar!"
A flaming arrow suddenly shot out from behind Medb's throne! Although it was a flaming arrow, it felt more like a cannonball! It precisely collided with the Demonic Spear!
*Boom!!*
A deafening explosion! Flames flew everywhere!
Medb still smiled calmly, but in an instant, Cú Chulainn moved!
"Teacher! You shouldn't have attacked her!! Beast of Devouring Death Fangs!!"
Cú Chulainn charged at Scáthach, his Demonic Spear merging with him, truly becoming one. Black bone armor quickly covered his entire body, making Cú Chulainn resemble a demonic beast even more!
"Hmph!"
Another Demonic Spear appeared in Scáthach's hand. She seemed to have many such Demonic Spears; they were mass-produced Noble Phantasms.
However, when Scáthach used her spear to parry Cú Chulainn's attack, the Demonic Spear and the bone spear made contact!
"Bang!"
"What!"
A terrifying force transferred, causing the Demonic Spear in Scáthach's hand to let out a clear, mournful cry!
Scáthach's tiger's mouth burst, and she almost couldn't hold the spear!
In his Beast of Devouring Death Fangs state, Cú Chulainn's strength increased dramatically. Scáthach understood with just one touch that when it came to a contest of strength, she couldn't win anymore.
"Swish swish swish!"
Suddenly, three more flaming arrows flew in. Scáthach immediately dodged with a jump. Her previous Demonic Spear throw had been nullified, the Demonic Spear blown away. Only then did Scáthach notice a dark-skinned young man next to Medb, holding an extraordinary longbow.
"Arjuna! Don't interfere!!"
Cú Chulainn pointed his spear at the dark-skinned young man. This was a battle between him and his teacher! He didn't want anyone else meddling!
Medb saw Cú Chulainn's attitude and raised her hand. Arjuna retrieved his bow and retreated. Only then did Cú Chulainn turn to Scáthach and say,
"Admit defeat, Teacher. This time, I've won."
Cú Chulainn felt a mix of emotions. He had never defeated Scáthach before, and this time, his victory wasn't exactly honorable.
Meanwhile, Scáthach smiled.
"Lose? Not by a long shot! If I wanted to leave, could you stop me?"
Scáthach seemed very confident, but as soon as she spoke.
"Creak~~"
The palace door suddenly opened a crack, letting out a creaking sound.
Everyone immediately looked over, but they heard or saw nothing. Cú Chulainn frowned; a warning flared in his heart. Something had definitely entered!
"Watch out! There's an infiltrator!!"
Cú Chulainn shouted! As soon as his words fell! A fierce flame erupted out of nowhere on the steps in front of the throne!!
"Whoosh!"
Karna's face emerged from the flames. With a surprised expression from Arjuna, he blasted a spear forward!
"Karna!!"
Arjuna blocked with his bow. His bow and arrow were a Divine Construct, so they wouldn't be so fragile, but Karna's strength was terrifying. Arjuna was sent flying back entirely! He slammed hard against the wall!
"Cough!"
Arjuna spat blood! Clearly, Karna had shown no mercy whatsoever!
"Arjuna! Let's settle this!"
Karna's golden shields on his arms spewed flames. He hooked Arjuna's bow with his spear, then carried Arjuna as he burst through the roof and flew outside.
All of this happened in an instant. Medb was still surprised, still trying to understand what was going on, when suddenly!
A fist, silently appeared in front of Medb, a light, effortless punch like a dragonfly skimming water, touching and leaving instantly, but...
"Pfft!"
Medb's body trembled, and blood spurted out. She stared in shock at her chest. Although there seemed to be nothing wrong on the outside, her heart had been pierced.
Li Shuwen slowly materialized, his hands clasped behind his back, and said,
"No Second Strike."
...
"Medb!!"
Cú Chulainn shouted, rushing straight for Medb, but suddenly a sense of danger struck him. Cú Chulainn saw a fist growing larger right before his eyes! He quickly raised his arm to block!
*BOOM!*
A terrifying force shattered the bone armor on Cú Chulainn's arm! He was sent flying!
"Long time no see, Doggo."
Mo Shuying appeared from his hidden state. Cú Chulainn slid back a distance on his feet, then frowned as he saw Mo Shuying.
"It's you!!"
Cú Chulainn remembered Mo Shuying; he was his roommate!
"Just surrender, Doggo. You've already lost."
Mo Shuying said, looking at Cú Chulainn. Now that Arjuna was held back by Karna, Medb had been successfully assassinated by Li Shuwen, and with himself joining in, the assassination plan was a complete success!
"Lost? Heh! Where do you get such confidence?!"
Cú Chulainn clearly wouldn't admit defeat. On the other side, Medb, sitting on her throne, saw Cú Chulainn's expression and her face flushed crimson.
"Ah~ That's my king, my little Cú! So domineering!"
...
Li Shuwen stood nearby, feeling a bit awkward. He'd punched Medb's heart to pieces. For her not to die from that was a bit much to explain.
Just then, Medb looked at Li Shuwen and said with a smile,
"You're very strong too~ I love strong men the most. It's a pity you're too old, otherwise, I could have a romance with you."
...
Li Shuwen frowned. He said nothing, but his foot moved, and another punch shot towards Medb's face! But this time!
"Chariot!"
Medb's entire body suddenly glowed! Li Shuwen quickly retreated, tapping his toes on the ground. The next second, an ox-drawn Chariot enveloped Medb and charged towards Li Shuwen.
*MOO!*
The Chariot rumbled forward, emitting a captivating power that men couldn't resist.
But Li Shuwen wouldn't be affected by such mental status effects. He dodged it with a tap of his toes.
Mo Shuying, with Li Shuwen's Veteran's Intuition, was also unaffected. He sidestepped the Chariot, and the two oxen quickly stopped beside Cú Chulainn.
They thought this was to help Cú Chulainn escape, but then the Chariot door opened, revealing Medb inside, a smile on her face.
"How are you?"
Cú Chulainn asked coldly. Medb still smiled and said,
"My heart has been shattered into pieces. I probably won't last much longer. But even with a broken heart, I still love you, my little Cú~"
...
Hearing Medb's words, Cú Chulainn turned to look at Li Shuwen, his eyes icy.
"Before I leave, I still have to do what little I can, to properly help my little Cú! Eliminate these people!"
Saying this, Medb reached into her chest and pulled out a Holy Grail. She spoke to the Holy Grail.
"Haven't you guys always wanted to come out and stir up some trouble? Then devour my Mana, and using this Holy Grail as your vessel, descend!!"
Medb shouted, and the Mana in her body surged into the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail glowed faintly, and then...
*ROAR!*
