With this permission, Ian explained his origin.

"Cu Chulainn, it's like this..."

The man briefly explained the whole incident.

After listening, Cu Chulainn nodded thoughtfully.

"So that's it...is Fuyuki City now special?"

"Then I can understand why things are like this now."

"Become like this?"

Ian felt that there was still something hidden behind everything.

Cu Chulainn's next words also proved his thoughts.

"Ian, this Holy Grail War has gone bad."

"Has it gone bad?"

"Let's get out of here first." Cu Chulainn picked up his staff, "We'll talk on the way."

"Row."

According to Cu Chulainn's words, the group left their original place. The next destination seemed to be a big mountain.

After a moment of silence, the blue magician walking at the front began to speak.

"According to convention, the Holy Grail War should be a battlefield where the Servants strive to seize the Holy Grail."

"but--"

Cu Chulainn sighed.

"This time it's very different."

"The swordsmen in this war did not make any wishes when they had access to the Holy Grail."

"Didn't you make any wishes?"

Ian was a little surprised - after all, the Holy Grail is known as the "universal wishing machine".

"Yes." Cu Chulainn nodded.

"Not only does the swordsman not intend to make a wish, but she also does not allow others to make wishes - she just stands next to the Holy Grail, destroying anyone who tries to contact the Holy Grail or the servants."

"This indirectly caused countless disasters - fires, earthquakes and other terrible events followed one after another, and humans also perished at this time."

"Now of the first seven servants to participate in this Holy Grail War, only me and the swordsman are left."

"Then those black shadows just now are..." Ian couldn't help but ask.

"It is the assassin (Assassin) who has become her subordinate." Cu Chulainn continued to explain, "She can turn all the people she defeats into her subordinates."

"Wait a moment!"

Olga Marie realized something.

"If this continues, won't this Holy Grail War never end?"

"There's no way the Holy Grail can be taken away - everyone will be trapped here?"

Because instead of killing the servant, he transforms the servant into a subordinate.

Therefore, the conditions for ending the war by "killing" other servants will naturally not be met.

The possibility of ending all of this through the Holy Grail is strictly guarded by the swordsman himself.

Is this...a dead end?

"Yeah." Cu Chulainn smiled bitterly.

"I didn't understand why everything was twisted like this."

"After meeting you, I understand - this shouldn't be a normal thing at all."

Ian understood.

"So you are looking for foreign aid now?"

"Correct."

Cu Chulainn looked back at Ian.

"I think you are the powerful foreign aid."

"But this isn't right -"

Olga Marie, who was holding Ian's arm, looked directly at Cu Chulainn in front of her.

She realized an extremely critical issue.

"If you are really Cu Chulainn, there shouldn't be many heroic spirits who can be stronger than you, right?"

Hearing this, Cu Chulainn forced out a wry smile.

"If I had a gun, I'd probably be more than happy to agree with you."

"but--"

"I'm holding a wand now."

"And that swordsman's real name is the legendary Artoria Pendragon—that is, King Arthur."

"No one has truly conquered her, right?"

182. Artoria, I... miss you so much/Shield of Heroes/Two Wishes (4k)

Arturia Pendragon.

The moment he heard the name, Ian felt as if his soul was being pulled out by tentacles.

All the scenes from the past impacted every nerve in him, leaving him stunned.

This reaction surprised Cu Chulainn somewhat.

"Are you...scared?"

"I thought you wouldn't be afraid."

Before Ian could answer, Olga Marie explained.

"not like this."

"That's probably because of blood relationship."

"Blood relationship?" Cu Chulainn showed a confused look, "What does this mean?"

"Because Ian's full name is..."

Olga Marie cleared her throat.

"It's Ian Pendragon."

"What?!" Cu Chulainn was shocked again.

But he was soon laughing.

"Hahahahaha!"

"It turns out he is a descendant of the King of Knights! No wonder he was able to fight against me for so long in a human body!"

"But this way..."

Cu Chulainn looked at Ian with a little more hesitation.

"I'm afraid you wouldn't be willing to confront your ancestors, would you?"

"..."

Ian shook his head.

"Do not."

“If that’s the case, it’s even more important for me to get involved.”

"I...can't just watch this happen."

"..."

Cu Chulainn was silent for a moment, and then showed a smile of approval.

"As expected of a descendant of a hero, everything he does follows the standards of a hero."

"So--"

"Come with me to defeat King Arthur and end this twisted Holy Grail War!"

"Ok!"

Once the goal is confirmed, the pace of progress will become more determined.

The group soon arrived at the foot of the mountain where Arturia was.

A road leading to the top of the mountain was displayed in front of the three people.

"This is too high!"

Olga Marie looked at the stone steps in front of her with a fearful expression.

"If you climb up like this, you will die!"

"It's okay, Director, you don't have to climb."

Ian knelt down.

"I'll carry you."

"...Is this okay?" Olga Marie hesitated, "Aren't you going to confront King Arthur later? Isn't it a good idea to waste your energy on such things?"

"Director, you seem to look down on me."

"A girl like you... I can carry her back and forth a few times without any problem."

"..."

Hearing this, Olga Marie said nothing more.

She meekly leaned on the man's back, being carried like a child.

Tears fell from the young director's eyes, and finally turned into a choked thank you.

"Ian...thank you."

"You're welcome, you are my strength."

Looking at this scene, Cu Chulainn once again felt that he was a bit redundant.

But this time the feeling didn't last long.

Because Ian quickly asked the next question.

"By the way, Artoria...how long did it take for Fuyuki City to become like this?"

"Half a day." Cu Chulainn answered truthfully, "It's only been about half a day since she arrived."

"...Only half a day."

really.

Even now that she has arrived as a "Servant", Arturia, as King Arthur, is still as powerful as ever.

"I understand, let's go."

But things are far from as simple as imagined.

On the mountainside, Ian saw a pair of unexpected figures.

Those were Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka.

Fujimaru Ritsuka's appearance is almost the same as usual.

But Matthew seemed to have changed.

I saw that she was no longer wearing the pale white Chaldean costume, but was replaced by orange-purple armor.
