In the huge courtyard, the surrounding pictures are full of gray and white.
Yami's eyes are extremely scarlet, and in the future he sees, he has already captured everything in front of him.
Soon, that gray feeling completely disappeared.
The red spear light in front of him has disappeared, and instead appeared on his back, stabbing towards his back.
They saw that Yami's movements were very fast. The moment he turned around, his left hand had turned black, not only hardened with armament haki, but also conqueror haki.
He stretches out his hand and pinches the attack directly on his hand.
Terrible magical power erupted instantly, and the impact force sprayed towards the surroundings at this moment.
The huge force pushed Yami back quickly, but it couldn't penetrate his palm at all, thus piercing his heart, and could only keep moving forward.
Under Cú Chulainn's control, the whip-like red spear light was finally exhausted.
Feeling the disappearance of strength, Yami's tense body also involuntarily relaxed.
He lowered his head and glanced at his palm, only to see that the armament haki part had been destroyed, a sharp attack pierced through his hand, and scarlet blood was flowing out turbulently.
"My killing blow! It was actually blocked by you, Archer!"
Cú Chulainn growled in disbelief.
Obviously, he did not expect that Yami would block his attack so easily, only at the cost of broken palms.
What kind of monster is this guy!
"Ah, it's really a terrifying move. If it wasn't for my quick reaction and luck, I'm afraid I'd be lying on the ground right now."
"Cú Chulainn, you are a formidable opponent."
"This level of Noble Phantasm liberation shouldn't consume much for you, right?"
Faced with Yami's questioning, Cú Chulainn, who was already frustrated because his strongest attack was blocked, was even more upset at this time.
"Damn. It's fine if he can't be killed with one blow, but I can't even weaken his combat power. It seems that this is the end of the line!"
Continuing to fight, Cú Chulainn felt that he did not have much chance of winning. However, as an excellent fighter, he would not run away just because he was at a disadvantage. In the Holy Grail War, besides obtaining the Holy Grail that can grant wishes, it was also a rare pleasure to compete with heroes from different ages on the same stage.
"Are you running away?"
"Don't put me on a pedestal. Although you blocked my noble phantasm, it doesn't mean I will fear you and run away. No one has that qualification yet!"
When he said this, Cú Chulainn's expression was indescribably arrogant. Yami almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but in order to save face for the other party, he managed to endure it.
"My Master is a coward. He said that if the attack is dodged, I should retreat. As a Servant, of course, I must prioritize my Master's orders. There's no way around it."
Cú Chulainn summoned the magic spear in his hand, ignored the injury on his waist, and slowly walked out of the courtyard. The words he left behind made Rin, who was nearby, hear them clearly. The young girl stared at Yami with an approving gaze. Although he noticed, he completely ignored her.
"Indeed, but do you really want to follow the orders of that despicable guy? You and Kotomine Kirei should have bad compatibility, right? Not only did he take you away from your original master, but he also seriously injured him. Are you still willing to work under him?"
Cú Chulainn couldn't help being taken aback. Afterward, his vision deepened.
"You're a terrible fellow to know such things."
"Of course, I have my own sources of information. So, let's get down to business. I plan to form an alliance with you and dissolve the contract between you and Kotomine Kirei. In exchange, I can help you cure Bazzett. This should be a good deal, right?"
Yami put away the 'Spear of Hephaestus' and spoke sincerely. This invitation was indeed a move on his whim. After all, this wasn't about prying corners; someone else had sent the opportunity to his door!
In the Fifth Holy Grail War, Kotomine Kirei wasn't even qualified to participate. Cú Chulainn's original master was a woman in men's clothing named Bazett Fraga McRemitz. She was also a descendant of the knight order Cú Chulainn belonged to during his lifetime. However, because Bazett trusted Kotomine Kirei too much, she gave him an opportunity to take advantage of her. Kotomine Kirei used the Command Seal engraved on Cú Chulainn's left hand to seize control. Because of this, Cú Chulainn had always been very cold towards Kotomine Kirei. This could be the key to their split!
"I help you save Bazzett, and you help me win the Holy Grail War. It's fair, right?"
"Sounds really good. How do you justify what you say?"
Although they were still fighting, Cú Chulainn's heart had already wavered. Although he didn't get along with Bazzett for too long, she used to be his master and was a descendant of the Knights. It was only natural for him to protect her. If Yami could truly cure Bazzett, there would be no reason to refuse. He could fulfill one of his wishes and rid himself of his cowardly master. It would be a win-win situation.
However, being a proud person, he had to put on airs a little bit.
"I don't need to lie to you about this. Of course, if you don't believe me, then just pretend I didn't say it. But my Master and Kotomine Kirei have a feud involving her fathers, so the next time we meet, it might be a matter of life and death."
"It's really non-threatening words. If it were someone else, I wouldn't want to believe it at all. But if it's you, I believe you."
After a moment of silence, Cú Chulainn finally nodded.
"I don't have the slightest liking for that guy Kotomine Kirei, so it's obviously a good thing to break the contract with him. So, what are you going to do?"
"Then I welcome you to join us in advance!"
Getting this answer seemed to be expected. Yami smiled faintly, then shook his head and said, "I'm not capable of doing this kind of thing, so we need Medea's help. Just wait for me a little bit!"
After speaking, he disappeared into the courtyard.
The sudden move left Rin frozen in place.
She began to curse in her heart again.
It's too unreliable to keep a powerful enemy in front of her like this!
It's a pity that Yami, who has long since left, can no longer be heard.
Fortunately, Cú Chulainn seems to be a Servant who attaches great importance to the spirit of the contract. Even if Yami left, he did not take this opportunity to continue to launch attacks
Instead, he stood still, holding the magic spear and waiting quietly.
After a while, two figures appeared in the courtyard.
It was Yami who had just left, and Medea who was brought by him from Ryuudou Temple.
"Keep everyone waiting for a long time, Medea, I'm counting on you!"
Yami immediately told Medea about the situation here, although the latter's first meeting with Cú Chulainn was not friendly, she did not refuse either.
On the contrary, having one more helper will undoubtedly increase the odds of winning.
"Rely on her? Is it really okay? I don't trust this witch!"
Cú Chulainn suddenly showed suspicion.
"Hmph, if it wasn't for Yami's request, I wouldn't be willing to help you, a wild dog. Since I am willing to help, you can give me a big thank you!"
Medea snorted coldly, then raised her hand and showed her Noble Phantasm.
Rule Breaker.
It looks like a dagger with a strange shape, and it has almost none of the functions that a Noble Phantasm should have, but it can absorb all the magic contained in the stabbing target.
To put it simply, it is to reset all creatures that contain magic power to before the magic power is used.
Can easily cut off the contract between Servant and Master, and then bring it under her command.
It's such a perverted ability!
Without much explanation, Medea went straight forward and used the Rule Breaker to stab Cú Chulainn in the chest. The latter found out that the contract between himself and Kotomine Kirei had been broken.
Realizing this, he showed a fearful expression.
"What a terrifying Noble Phantasm!"
"And to Heroic Spirits, it's a deadly existence!"
"You talk too much!"
Ignoring Cú Chulainn's words, Medea withdrew her treasure, then turned around and said to Yami who was beside her: "Yami, it's been resolved, this dog is now able to sign a contract with a master again."
"If there is nothing else, please send me back to Ryuudou Temple. The issue about the construction of the magic workshop is not completely over yet."
"Don't worry, there are still some things here that need your help."
Yami spoke quickly, and then waved at Rin, "Rin, I will trouble you."
"Ah, I see. You found another heroic spirit. Don't you know that too many heroic spirits will make my burden bigger? Give me attention to this problem!"
Although she said so, Rin's body is still very honest.
The girl stepped forward without hesitation and signed a contract with Cù Chulainn.
The passing speed of the magic power in her body became faster, which made Rin a little uncomfortable, and even felt that her whole body began to become sore and limp.
It is still too difficult for her to bear two heroic spirits.
"Yami, is there anything else to do?"
"Of course, maybe we can get a powerful helper~"
Yami smiled mysteriously, then turned around and walked straight to Emiya.
His actions immediately confused everyone present, who didn't know what to do at all.
Seemingly afraid of what Yami would do, Rin hurriedly asked, "Archer, what are you going to do?"
"It's nothing, it seems that Assassin and Saber are the only ones left in the Holy Grail War, and this little guy in front of us should be one of the seven masters."
"Nani, you mean Emiya-san?!"
Rin, who heard this, suddenly showed a surprised expression.
Originally, the girl was afraid of what Yami would do, so she opened her mouth. This was also because of her sister's relationship.
Unexpectedly, the other party actually told me that her classmate was also the master of the Holy Grail War!?
What a joke!
Is this half-baked magician who can hardly feel the existence of magic power really qualified to participate in the Holy Grail War?
"No, Yami, to be precise, Saber is the only one who has not appeared. Not long ago, I obtained the qualification of the master through illegal operations, and I have summoned the Asassin.
"Nani?"
Upon hearing this, Rin and Cú Chulainn froze in place again.
On the contrary, Yami's face was indifferent, as if everything had been expected.
"Looking at it this way, if Saber can be obtained, then in this Holy Grail War, we will have a full six Servants here, right?"
What a terrifying amount!
In normal times, having five Servants can almost secure the victory.
But unfortunately, this is the fifth Holy Grail War.
Not only the perverted Hercules, but also a certain golden man hidden in the dark, if there is no way to deal with these two monsters, no amount of Servants will help.
But at least on the surface, it is still very bluffing.
"I'm going crazy!"
Rin scratched her head in disbelief, but there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.
After all, she wanted to summon Saber from the very beginning, but because of the wrong timing, coupled with the lack of holy relics, and the interference of Yami, she couldn't succeed.
If Saber can be obtained later, that's not impossible.
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and ask Emiya-san to perform the summoning ceremony, we can form an alliance."
"No, I don't plan to ally with other people, so these things, I will trouble you, Medea. If my guess is right, there is Avalon hidden in this kid's body. As a medium, it should be able to summon the legendary King Arthur."
"There is also a summoning magic circle on the side of the warehouse."
"King Arthur? I understand!"
After speaking, Medea waved her hand without giving the others time to react, and several dragon tooth soldiers stood up from the ground, carrying Emiya Shirou and walking towards the warehouse.
"Let go of senpai! I choose you—Rider!"
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly sounded.
The next moment, they saw a heroic spirit descending from the sky, and the weapon in her hand was slashing towards the Dragon Tooth Soldier.
"Sakura!"
Rin immediately recognized the identity of the person who came, and even her expression changed, and hurriedly wanted to stop it.
However, Yami is faster than her.
"Calm down, little girl, I won't hurt your senpai, I just want something from his body, so before that, you should be quiet for a while."
As he said that, a terrible shock swept over him.
Before Sakura could react, she was stunned by the terrifying coercion.
As for Medusa who attacked just now, she was also slightly affected at this time, and then was easily blocked by Cú Chulainn, unable to continue to step forward to get in the way.
Emiya Shiro was escorted into the warehouse by the dragon tooth soldiers.
"Hey, Archer, what did you say to Sakura!?" Rin asked hurriedly.
Yami, who was waiting for the ceremony to end, glanced at her faintly, then explained, "Don't worry, I just made her faint. It won't cause any harm. There were others in the way, and it was very troublesome, so I let her sleep."
"And it's for your sake; otherwise, I would have had Medusa and Sakura leave the stage long ago."
"Then thank you so much!!!" Rin's words were almost gnashing of teeth, spoken slowly.
There was nothing she could do about it. Her Servant didn't discuss anything with her and was a complete maverick. She always felt that she, the Master, was no different from a mascot.
"You're welcome. It's all for the ultimate victory. These are things I should do, huh?"
While speaking, a powerful magic suddenly erupted from the warehouse, immediately attracting everyone's attention. It seemed Medea had succeeded! A new Heroic Spirit had arrived! The arrival of the last Heroic Spirit meant that the Holy Grail War had officially kicked off!
"It's done, let's go in and see the situation together!" Yami said as he walked toward the warehouse.
The first thing that came into view was Emiya Shirou pinned to the ground by a few dragon-toothed soldiers. Although they were low-level monsters, they were more than enough to deal with this half-baked magician. The boy, who was held up by the weapon, did not dare to move at all. After all, the coldness from the blade at his neck was no joke.
In the summoning circle not far away, a heroic blond girl in armor was also bound by magic and didn't dare to act rashly. No matter how you looked at this picture, it felt inconsistent. However, King Arthur Artoria had indeed arrived.
