When Mo Shuying arrived, he saw Cú Chulainn collapsed in Bazett's arms, blood at the corner of his mouth, and a terribly pale face.
"What happened?!"
Mo Shuying appeared and walked over. Bazett turned to look at Mo Shuying, a glint appearing in her eyes. She felt that Mo Shuying was a mysterious person, and perhaps he could save Cú Chulainn!
"A monster! A monster snake suddenly appeared just now! Caster was bitten trying to save me, he's poisoned!!"
Poisoned? Any poison that could fell a Heroic Spirit had to be terrifying.
Mo Shuying walked to Cú Chulainn's side and bent down. To be honest, Cú Chulainn's condition was not good.
"Cough, cough!"
Black blood spurted out with his coughs. Cú Chulainn looked very weak. He gave Mo Shuying a rare, uninhibited smile.
"Just now, you made your move?"
"Yes, it was a woman. I didn't get a clear look at her, but her poison is indeed potent. She got away."
Mo Shuying nodded. If the opponent was determined to escape, he truly had no way to forcefully keep them.
"Cough, cough! Heh heh, so it was a venomous woman... Cough, cough... It's ironic, my downfall throughout my life seems to be related to women. First that damned crow goddess, and now this venomous woman. It seems... I can no longer protect you, little girl."
Cú Chulainn could already feel his life slipping away. He extended a finger, a flicker of Mana glowing at its tip. He touched his fingernail to Bazett's brow, leaving behind complete Rune Magic.
"No! Caster! You'll be fine! I! I!"
Bazett's eyes were bloodshot. This normally incredibly resolute girl had truly broken down today.
Cú Chulainn shook his head and said,
"Stay away from me. Don't let my poisoned blood touch you. I can feel it, this is the legendary Hydra's poison. It's frustrating, if I didn't have so-called divinity, the damage wouldn't be so great. Now... I can't hold on anymore."
Cú Chulainn closed his eyes, awaiting the end of this journey. He was already content to have seen his descendant on this outing.
Mo Shuying watched the two of them in their dramatic farewell, scratching his head.
"Well... don't die just yet. Here, drink this."
Mo Shuying took out a potion bottle, opened it, and poured the contents into Cú Chulainn's mouth.
"Cough, cough, cough! This? What is this?"
As the potion entered him, Cú Chulainn regained some spirit. He opened his eyes and looked at Mo Shuying with surprise, because he could clearly feel that the severe poison's damage to him had greatly diminished.
"Iron Potion. Adds 3000 HP and 25% resistance to all negative effects, lasting five minutes. Poison is a negative effect, so it can barely resist it."
Mo Shuying shook the miraculous potion bottle in his hand. Compared to their in-game effects, the potions Mo Shuying received from daily sign-ins had undergone Magic Modification and enhancement.
"This! Do you have more?! Please save Caster!"
Bazett asked excitedly, as if she had found a lifeline.
Mo Shuying nodded and then shook his head.
"I still have potions, but this isn't a cure for the severe poison. It can only barely sustain his life. We still need to find a way to completely resolve this poison, otherwise, it will ultimately be futile."
"Then? What should we do?"
Bazett looked at Mo Shuying, already completely deferring to his arrangements.
Mo Shuying frowned. This girl really doesn't like to think, does she?
"I don't have a solution either. Let's take him back and have Rin and the others take a look. If they can save him, they will. If not, there's nothing we can do. Do you agree?"
"..."
Bazett hesitated, seemingly reluctant to seek help from Tohsaka Rin and the others. Cú Chulainn noticed Bazett's reluctance and was about to refuse Mo Shuying's help when Bazett spoke.
"Okay! I will sincerely beg them!"
Bazett's expression was firm. Mo Shuying smiled and waved his hand, summoning a Speed Wolf.
Caster was currently covered in poison, so it was better to keep a distance.
...
Inside the gloomy bunker, Matou Sakura stared blankly at the chains that should have held Matou Shinji. Matou Shinji, who should have been locked here, was now gone, leaving only broken chains.
"Hmph~"
A surge of Mana appeared behind Matou Sakura, revealing the figure of the mysterious cloaked woman.
"Master, although there was a slight mishap, Caster has been poisoned by me. Heh heh, my poison has no antidote. Death is only a matter of time."
Matou Sakura showed a faint smile upon hearing the cloaked woman's words.
"You've worked hard, Assassin. Don't go running around for the next few days. Finish that task soon, and we will surely achieve final victory."
"Yes, Master."
The cloaked woman nodded slightly. In the gloomy bunker, the shadows of the two women seemed to stretch infinitely under the light.
...
In a building dozens of kilometers from the Matou ancestral home, in a luxurious suite, Matou Shinji furiously smashed the wine glass in his hand! His eyes were filled with anger and rage!
"That bitch! How dare she treat me like this! You just wait! One day I'll trample you underfoot! And utterly ravage you!!"
Matou Shinji roared hysterically at the window. On the sofa behind him, a muscular, red-haired brute sat, a fork in his hand piercing a piece of steak, which he was devouring.
"Hmm, good texture, Master. Have them send up a few more."
The burly man yelled at Matou Shinji, whose eye twitched as he turned to look at him.
"Lancer! You too! When you saved me back then, we should've charged in and killed that bitch! Not run away like rats to this place! Hmph!"
Matou Shinji thought back to the situation.
He had been locked in the bunker, desolate and helpless, thinking his life was over, but fate had other plans. He actually became a Master and summoned Lancer.
After Lancer rescued him, Matou Shinji immediately cried for revenge. But when Lancer learned his opponent was a girl, he said,
"We Spartan Warriors will never point our spears at women or children, unless they strike first."
After saying that, he sensed the appearance of other Heroic Spirits, so to protect Matou Shinji, he chose to retreat, taking Matou Shinji away from the old castle.
Now, hearing Matou Shinji's complaints again, the burly man said,
"Master, bullying women is the most unchivalrous thing one can do. A true man should face challenges head-on. Besides, your Mana supply is truly too weak. With this amount, I even doubt if I have enough Mana to unleash my Noble Phantasm. Sigh, you should eat more."
The burly man sighed helplessly. Although his Master this time was also a Mage, he wasn't even third-rate. His Magic Crests were pitifully few, and his Mana was just as scarce. Because of his Master, the Servant's full strength couldn't be unleashed, just like Saber, who was dragged down by Emiya Shirou.
"..."
Matou Shinji was speechless, rebuked by the burly man, but then his expression became even more resentful!
"It's all that bitch's fault! She's clearly someone else's mongrel, yet she got our family's Magic Crest! Damn it! You old geezer! You're truly blind!!"
