"Brother, you're still young, and the war isn't over. It'd be a real shame for you to die now. If you must die, at least let it be in battle against an enemy Servant."
Mo Shuying patted Achilles on the shoulder, smiling as he spoke.
Achilles was fine. Karna's attack had no negative effects like curses, so once his wounds healed, he'd be back to being that unkillable cockroach.
"So you mean… you're going to exploit me no matter what?"
Good grief, even when you're dead, they'll drag you back to work. Is this what capitalists are like? I love it, I love it.
"Nonsense! Am I that kind of person? Edison wouldn't want you to leave like this either! At least you should contribute some light and heat! Right, Edison?"
Mo Shuying looked at Edison. Edison was startled, and feeling Achilles' gaze on him, he could only force a smile.
"It's a joke! Just a joke, I just don't want to lose a good brother and friend."
Edison also patted Achilles on the shoulder, but Achilles' expression clearly showed he wasn't convinced.
"Sigh~ If you won't let me die, then fine. Karna, I'll concede this round, but next time I get the chance, I'll definitely win it back."
Achilles was actually a bit bothered by losing to Karna. He hadn't expected Karna, that seemingly honest, thick-browed kid, to resort to sneaky attacks.
"Hmph, you're always welcome."
Karna looked arrogant. He had won, and that was an indisputable fact.
"Alright, alright, everyone go back. Get some good rest. There are definitely more major battles to fight after this. You two are the main force. If you want to compete, then compete on the battlefield, see who defeats more and stronger opponents, and whoever does, wins."
Mo Shuying spoke, and both Achilles and Karna nodded in agreement.
"Very good, I have no objections."
"I agree too."
"Ha! Then you're doomed, Firebird! With my speed! I'll definitely leave you in the dust!"
Achilles laughed loudly at Karna.
Karna's veins throbbed in his temple when he heard Achilles' nickname for him. His eyes flared with fire as he looked at Achilles and said coldly,
"Oh, then you better be careful not to get your leg broken on the battlefield; that would make my win far too easy."
"What did you say?! Say that again if you dare!!"
"Are your ears not working either? You want me to say it again!"
"You!"
"Hmph!" x2!
The two snorted coldly and turned their heads away, neither looking at the other. Mo Shuying watched them and couldn't help but smile awkwardly.
But he didn't stop them.
It was quite enjoyable, wasn't it?
Soon, it was the next day.
At dawn, Mo Shuying ran two laps around the castle, completing his daily training first.
Yesterday night's sign-in had given Mo Shuying a pleasant surprise. After Silas's By His Own Means, Mo Shuying had finally signed in his second ultimate ability!
Awe-Inspiring (B-A+)
Grapple a target, interrupting and immobilizing all their movements, then slam them to the ground.
Deals massive damage to the slammed enemy.
Slamming creates a shockwave, dealing massive damage and slowing surrounding targets.
The larger and higher HP the slammed target, the more the slam damage and shockwave damage will increase.
Here it comes, here it comes! Finally! Mo Shuying had acquired all of Sett's abilities!
*Battlefield Valor! Overwhelming Might! Intentional Blast Punch! Crushing Hand Splitter! Awe-Inspiring!*
Mo Shuying was very much looking forward to it now. He heard the boss this time, Medb, was a woman? Heh? A woman!!
Have you heard of the "Embrace and Kill"?
He hoped he could try it this time!
After finishing his two laps, Mo Shuying began various exercise routines outside the castle. With Mo Shuying's current physical condition, exercises like push-ups and sit-ups were no challenge at all.
As he was doing his last push-up, Mo Shuying felt someone approach from behind.
He looked back and saw Black Lancer Alter.
"What's the point of this kind of training?"
Black Lancer Alter asked Mo Shuying.
"Heh, just practicing for fun."
Mo Shuying didn't stop, but he sped up a bit. He still felt a little uncomfortable being watched while training.
However…
"Oh~ Fun, you say? Then this King shall join."
Black Lancer Alter chuckled. Mo Shuying thought she was going to do push-ups too, but instead, he felt his waist go soft as something springy landed on his back.
"Hm!?"
Mo Shuying froze, looking back at Black Lancer Alter in surprise. He saw her sitting on his waist, her legs lifted off the ground, as she spoke to him.
"I'm adding some weight for you, hurry up, keep going. You're not giving up already, are you??"
Giving up?!
How could a man be seen as giving up!
Mo Shuying's eyebrows furrowed! He turned his head and resumed his push-ups!
"298. 299. 300 cough cough 1. 2. 3. 4."
Mo Shuying figured the weather was nice today, perfect for another 300 push-ups, so he started counting again from the beginning.
Black Lancer Alter watched the steadily moving Mo Shuying with a smile. She then looked out at the flat expanse before them and spoke.
"This is indeed a vast land, much larger than Great Britain. The resources must be much richer too. It would be good if we could claim a territory here."
Wanting to occupy a good place is perhaps a common ailment of kings. Black Lancer Alter didn't mean any harm; she was just speaking casually.
But...
"Huh? Your Britain occupied quite a bit of land here. My history isn't great, but I think I remember there being 13 of your colonies here alone."
"Really?! Is it that impressive?"
Black Lancer Alter paused, then revealed a surprised smile.
"Of course. Later, this territory formed its own country, but they still speak your country's language. See how deep the influence is."
Mo Shuying said casually. Black Lancer Alter's smile widened, a hint of pride in her eyes.
But then she froze.
"We had 13 colonies, so how did this place establish its own country again?"
Black Lancer Alter asked, puzzled.
Mo Shuying paused his movements, looking thoughtful. After a moment, he said,
"It must be because you did too many things that angered both heaven and man during your colonization, leading to resistance. And then you didn't even win; you were driven out. Heh, you know, it would have been so much better if you had been stronger back then."
Mo Shuying still spoke casually, but Black Lancer Alter was stunned.
After a few seconds, Black Lancer Alter stood up and jumped off.
"Hm? What's wrong?"
Mo Shuying stopped his movements and looked at Black Lancer Alter. His waist felt empty, and he was a little unaccustomed to it for a moment.
Black Lancer Alter walked in front of Mo Shuying and looked into the distance, gazing at the rising sun. Suddenly, she turned to Mo Shuying and spoke.
"My Rider."
"Yes, my King."
"No matter how chaotic this world gets, it will recover, right?"
"...Yes, yes it will."
"Then tell me, how about I unify this continent?"
"..."
Mo Shuying was stunned. Was unifying a continent really that easy?
Just saying it like that?
