Kapitel 870: -859- [ Gáe Bolg Alternative ]
"Hah!"
In the midst of the steel's chanting, the two crimson spears crossed each other, their tips like the beckoning of death, reaching towards their respective opponents.
"Clang!"
Cú Chulainn's spear solidly landed on Scáthach's heart, but it was bounced off by the thin membrane of "Magic Defence" covering her, leaving only sparks bursting, resembling hitting an iron plate.
"--!"
Scáthach's magic spear similarly reached its target but, because Cú Chulainn had strained to turn his head aside, it grazed his cheek and landed in empty space.
However, the "Magic Resilience" imbued in the magic spear still acted like an incredible force lump, hitting Cú Chulainn.
"Spurt!"
In the tearing sound, a portion of Cú Chulainn's cheek and shoulder were sliced off by the psychic blade on the tip of the magic spear, spewing a large amount of blood.
"Tsk...!"
Cú Chulainn couldn't help but click his tongue, and his entire body rebounded like a spring, attempting to create distance from Scáthach.
But...
"It's useless!"
Scáthach didn't hesitate at all, swiftly flashing towards Cú Chulainn. She easily caught up with him.
This was an incredible feat.
You see, after the modification by the Holy Grail, Cú Chulainn's strength had reached an astonishing level compared to his time as a Caster.
Leaving aside other aspects, just talking about his parameters, the parameters of Cú Chulainn in his present state as a Berserker were surprisingly high.
At least, Rozen had already seen through Cú Chulainn's parameter capabilities.
...
Class: Berserker
True Name: Cú Chulainn
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
————Parameters————
Strength: A
Endurance: B+
Agility: A+
Magic: C
Luck: D
Noble Phantasm: A
————Class Skills————
Mad Enhancement: EX (C)
As a result of strengthening abilities at the cost of losing reason, raising all parameters, it's forcibly transformed into this class by the Holy Grail, hence even though it's at the rank of breaking the norm, it's equivalent to C. Theoretically, dialogue is possible, but any attempt at persuasion is ineffective as he won't consider options other than advancing. Therefore, actual conversation between enemies is completely impossible.
Divinity: C
Indication of the presence of divine essence, the higher the rank, the more it's mixed with the blood of divine spirits. As the son of the sun god, he possesses a high level of divinity, but it's reduced due to his darkening.
————Personal Skills————
Battle Continuation: A
Manifestation of the beastly tenacity not to easily die; even if heavily injured, it's possible to continue surviving through willpower. At rank A, as long as it's not a fatal wound, it's irrelevant. Even a fatal wound won't be absolutely fatal.
Protection from Arrows: C
Effectiveness against projectiles attached with magical energy. With a casual glance, magical projectiles can be completely avoided. However, due to Mad Enhancement, this effect has greatly decreased.
Madness of the Spirits: A
The low-pitched chant of the Mad King awakens the spirits sleeping in the land, shattering the minds of enemy soldiers. It's a form of mental interference, temporarily decreasing the strength and agility of all enemy troops.
Rune Magic: B
Nordic rune magic. In this state, he uses it to strengthen his body, turning it into an effect similar to "Magic Resistance."
...
This is the current parameter of Cú Chulainn, and it's terrifying. Not only does he have the highest strength level, but his agility has also reached the level of A+, and even endurance is at B+.
Combined with the blessing of the Holy Grail, Cú Chulainn has the ability to dominate, suppressing even Karna and his mentor Scáthach. Numerous skills are extraordinary, far beyond the comparison of an ordinary Servant.
This is the only way Cú Chulainn could have previously killed so decisively on the battlefield, suppressing even Berserkers and eliminating three Greek Servants, or else Greece would surely have more Servants, not just the remaining four.
This kind of Cú Chulainn in full burst, the strength is imaginable.
And Scáthach is unexpectedly able to surpass the current Cú Chulainn, easily catching up with him, who has agility at A+ level. The strength is unimaginable.
"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh...!"
In the next moment, Scáthach's spear surged, turning into numerous gunshots that covered the sky. It shattered the air, sweeping over like a wave.
"Clang, clang, clang, clang...!"
Cú Chulainn also displayed amazing skills. Faced with Scáthach's godly spear technique, he wielded his magic spear, unexpectedly intercepting each beam of light.
In an instant, a strong wind rose, a sandstorm stirred, and the two users of spears fought like true gods. Accompanied by flashes of spear radiance, the earth was cut open by cracks, incredibly awe-inspiring.
"So powerful..."
Rozen watched with a serious expression.
"Is that the true strength of the Celts?"
Atalante's eyes were equally solemn.
"So those two are this strong..."
Even Arjuna held his breath.
As for Jason and Medea, they were completely stunned, even Karna was fully focused on watching. Berserker also suddenly became obedient, quietly observing.
"Senpai..."
Only Mash understood that behind this intense battle, there was still one person standing. Her gaze turned towards Rozen.
But Rozen closed his eyes.
If it were Mash, Rozen would surely use "Mind's Eye" to guide her in combat, enabling her to analyze the enemy's spear techniques and strike at their weaknesses most comprehensively.
However, against Scáthach, Rozen didn't need to worry about this. Scáthach understands Cú Chulainn's spear techniques even better than Rozen, and she knows better how to fight herself.
Therefore, Rozen doesn't need the additional power of "Mind's Eye" to help Scáthach analyze the enemy's spear techniques. He also doesn't need to instruct Scáthach on how to fight. Instead, he only needs to wholeheartedly enhance her strength and create opportunities for a decisive blow.
So, Rozen's entire body swelled with magical energy.
All that magical energy was converted into jutsuryoku.
"————————"
Rozen chanted this mantra.
If the "Omnipotent Sword" Kogure Zenjirou from the "Twelve Divine Generals" were here, he would surely recognize this mantra.
Because it's the incantation he favored, the true words seeking the protection of the war god Bishamonten.
"Boom!"
Scáthach's magical energy erupted once again.
This God-Slayer, blessed by the war god, was filled with an astonishing power that even distorted the space.
It's somewhat ironic that one who can slay gods receives the protection of a god.
However...
"Occasionally, it's not bad."
A proud smile appeared on Scáthach's delicate face.
In her hands, the speed of the spear suddenly doubled.
"Pfft!"
Finally, Cú Chulainn couldn't block Scáthach's fierce attacks, and the spear tip grazed his ribs.
The "Magic Resilience" bestowed upon the magic spear shaved off a chunk, causing blood to once again splatter.
And this was the trigger for a chain reaction.
"Pfft!" "Pfft!" "Pfft!"
In countless beams of fierce attacks, one after another, spear radiance leaked through Cú Chulainn's defense. Each touched his arms, thighs, and abdomen, cutting away one piece of flesh after another.
In the blink of an eye, Cú Chulainn's entire body became covered in scars, and blood continued to spill.
"Clap!"
At a certain moment, Rozen suddenly clapped his hands.
"Dong!"
An invisible shockwave exploded in front of Cú Chulainn.
This is Rozen's Taoism spell — "Hitting a mountain from afar."
Of course, Rozen didn't chant the incantation, so the power of the spell was reduced by more than half.
However, even if Rozen were to chant the complete incantation, using magic to harm Cú Chulainn would be nearly impossible.
After all, Cú Chulainn can utilize the power of the Primordial Rune to form a "Magic Resistance," requiring spells at the level of grand rituals or high-tier magic to cause any damage.
But Rozen employed this spell not to inflict harm but to create interference. The intense shockwave interrupted Cú Chulainn's movements and destabilized his stance, causing him to stagger backward.
"Right here!"
Scáthach keenly seized this opportunity.
"Hmm!"
In her hands, the crimson magic spear emanated an ominous aura.
"Pierce through!"
Scáthach shouted loudly.
"〈Gáe Bolg Alternative〉!"
A crimson lightning bolt was unleashed from her hands.
