Chapter 1614: Lancers are quite weak
The night breeze rustled the fallen leaves.
The courtyard fell silent.
Emiya Shirou looked at the Command Spell on his hand and then looked at Su Xiao. The magic circuits in his body were already connected to the Command Seals, and the Command Seals led to the person who had just stepped out of the summoning circle.
Emiya was obviously a smart guy, and he immediately understood what was going on. This man wearing a long leather jacket and carrying a long sword at his waist seemed to be a friend?
But he didn't know what the man was going to do at all. There was obviously a serious incompatibility between Su Xiao and Emiya, they were actually the exact opposite of each other, although Emiya was a bit lucky, as Su Xiao didn't have the habit of killing ordinary civilians indiscriminately, and in this world, he still had to deal with the Blood Gate.
— Boy, so you're the seventh Master, I underestimated you, " the spearman said.
He was one of the seven Servants in this Holy Grail war. His name was Cuchulainn, and he was a famous hero of Ulster in Ireland, as well as the "son of the Sun God". True, they often called him not" the son of the Sun God", but "the dog of Kulann". Because of the incident that gave him such a nickname, he also set a rule for himself that he should never eat dog meat.
Cuchulainn was definitely one of the most beautiful Servants. Although usually Lancers weren't very strong, each of them was one more beautiful than the other.
After looking at Su Xiao for a while, he still couldn't figure out which legend this guy was from. Judging from the weapons, Su Xiao was undoubtedly a melee master, which made Cuchulainn instinctively think that Su Xiao was an Assassin.
As a Lancer, Cuchulainn was no less skilled in close combat than an Assassin, so he swung his spear and stepped forward, letting Su Xiao know that he was serious.
Su Xiao took a deep breath. The air in that space was very murky, and the environment was dim. As for this Lancer, Cuchulainn, right now he could fight 2-3 such Servants at the same time. If it wasn't for the fact that Cuchulainn's Master was abnormal and the people from the Blood Gate hadn't appeared yet, he would have activated the Devouring Core long ago and eaten this Servant.
Yes, among other things, this world was very useful for Su Xiao. He could raise Qing Gang Yin's energy level quite well. Heroic Souls were all made up of life energy, and this energy was quite pure. He had already "eaten" some of them. The most delicious of them would have been Arturia Pendragon, but unfortunately, he never got to eat it.
— Lancer, go back and tell Kotomine Kirei, that parricide, that I'll visit him when I have time. Although he has forgotten who I am, his father is an old friend of mine.
Su Xiao's words stunned Cuchulainn. He immediately thought that Su Xiao was most likely a Heroic Soul who had participated in the Fourth Holy Grail War.
— You... are you looking down on me? Cuchulainn had just said that when he suddenly heard a sharp whistle from behind him.
*Clang-bang-boom!*
Cuchulainn broke through the courtyard wall and rolled twice on the ground, stopping and getting to his feet.
They were... on completely different levels.
A bright flash of light immediately sliced through the courtyard wall and flew at Cuchulainn. Being a Heroic Soul, he wasn't weak, so he immediately raised his spear and jumped up.
With a twist of his spear, he created a blood wheel in front of him...
*Ding-ding-ding...*
Sparks flew in all directions, and all the flashes released by Su Xiao were blocked by Lancer, but before Cuchulainn could catch his breath, Su Xiao appeared in front of him.
The long blade whizzed across Lancer's cheek, leaving a trail of blood on his face.
Cuchulainn turned his spear and the point of the spear was aimed at Su Xiao's jaw.
Su Xiao tilted his head slightly and released the hilt of the sword from his hand, while also bending down and attacking Lancer's calf with his foot.
Cuchulainn was thrown back a step with a crash, and his right leg was completely numb below the knee.
Before he could regain his stance, Su Xiao linked his fingers together and a dragon Flash immediately flew into his hand, followed by a flash of light from the sword.
A flash sliced through the air and three crisscrossing cuts appeared on Cuchulainn's chest.
Before he could even cry out in pain, a hand wrapped in blue smoke was already grabbing his throat.
Blue smoke enveloped most of Cuchulainn's body, and his entire body was immediately filled with powerlessness, then pain.
He felt as if his soul was being gradually sucked out of him right now.
As the son of the Sun God who had galloped across battlefields in the past, Cuchulainn certainly didn't scream, but only groaned in pain.
The devouring core also worked at maximum, causing Lancer's figure to quickly disappear into the blue smoke.
After a few seconds, Su Xiao threw Cuchulainn aside.
Lancer coughed as he knocked over a street lamp with his body. At this moment, he was very confused.
How could this guy even summon a Servant of this level?
The energy of the Heroic Soul flowed down Su Xiao's arm into the Devouring Core and finally began to turn into colorless energy, which was quickly absorbed by Qing Gang Yin's energy. Because the level of this energy was too high and Su Xiao didn't fully absorb Lancer, the energy level didn't increase in the end.
— What a pity, " Su Xiao muttered, feeling a little regretful. If he had stuck to his usual style, he would have already turned Cuchulainn into a dummy and then killed him, however, compared to the fleeting benefits, eliminating the Blood Gate was obviously a much higher priority. If a Heroic Soul died because of just one small skirmish, the people of Blood Gate, unless they were complete idiots, would immediately try to eliminate the strange anomaly that caused one of the Servants to die so early.
Lancer, becoming somewhat transparent, got to his feet.
A moment earlier, he thought he was about to be devoured.
Cuchulainn didn't talk nonsense, but got to his feet and was out of sight in a couple of strides.
He had lost, but he wasn't going to lose his dignity, even though he hadn't lost in a wild battle.
Emiya stared blankly at Cuchulainn's retreating figure through the large hole in the wall. Earlier, this Lancer had killed him without any right to survive, and now it was running away as fast as if its life depended on it.
— Thank you... for saving me, " he said. Although Emiya was vaguely aware that Su Xiao wasn't from the law-abiding citizen camp, he still thanked him, after all, he had just saved his life.
— After saying that, Emiya looked at the hole in the house and the hole in the fence and winced in pain.
He was a simple student and all this was inherited from his foster father and supported by his casual earnings.
— If I'm not mistaken, aren't you Emiya Shirou? Su Xiao asked as he sat down near the hole in the wall of the house and lit a cigarette with a click.
— Do you know me? Emiya was clearly confused and didn't understand what was going on at all.
— I'm friends with your foster father.
— Truth?
At this moment, Emiya's impression of Su Xiao changed slightly.
— Yes.
Was it true? Of course not. In that Holy Grail war, Su Xiao used the Spider Queen to smash Emiya Kiritsugu to pieces through the wall.
Of course, no one in this world knew about it right now.
