"Don't look at me like that. If you're not planning to just fight your way through, are you thinking of finding teammates here or something?"
"There are no other helpers in this godforsaken place besides us. If we don't fight our way through, what other choice do we have? We can't just slack off here, can we?"
Hearing Mo Wang's words, everyone looked at each other.
Alright, his words were a bit crude, but they were surprisingly reasonable.
In this situation, Chaldea couldn't provide much support, and they were surrounded by enemies. It seemed like fighting their way through was indeed the only option.
"So, you see, we're like a hero's party that has entered the Demon King's castle. We just need to find a way to fight our way to the Demon King."
"They're the ones who have a lot more to think about."
"Senpai, the analogy of storming the Demon King's castle is quite good, but... why do I feel like you're the Demon King?"
Mash retorted from the side.
Rather than a hero storming the Demon King's castle, this was more like a Demon King breaking into the royal castle, right? And the kind of Demon King who likes to kidnap princesses. (Artoria: ?)
"Never mind that! Let's hurry up and take back our Saber, comrades!"
Under Mo Wang's leadership, the group from Chaldea set off towards the location of the Holy Grail.
Along the way, their progress was surprisingly smooth.
Aside from a group of mindless skeleton soldiers, there were no other enemies worth noting.
And this was the perfect opportunity for Mash to level up.
Under the Doggo's guidance, Mash quickly learned how to use her Noble Phantasm: Lord Chaldeas - Hypothetical Noble Phantasm Deployment.
Although it was only a D-rank anti-personnel Noble Phantasm and could only summon a portion of Camelot's walls, and it wasn't very useful at the moment, it still made Mash excited for a while.
"Senpai! Director! Did you see that? I successfully deployed my Noble Phantasm!"
Mash panted as she spoke to Olga Marie and Mo Wang. Although she looked a little tired, the excitement on her face hadn't diminished in the slightest.
"Good, good, our Mash is so amazing. You've already learned how to use your Noble Phantasm so quickly. I'm sure it won't be long before you become a reliable Servant."
Mo Wang praised Mash as if he were praising a kindergartener.
"Well... ehehe."
Being praised by Mo Wang, Mash became a little shy.
"I'm only able to use my Noble Phantasm crudely. I still have a long way to go before I can become a proper Servant."
However, at this moment, Olga Marie couldn't help but interject.
It was hard to tell whether she was dissatisfied with Mash being able to use only that level of Noble Phantasm, or simply because Mo Wang had praised Mash and left her out.
"Don't say that. It's already quite an achievement for Mash to be able to use her Noble Phantasm. Besides, this Noble Phantasm is already this powerful at this level of use. I'm sure it won't be weak when it's fully released."
Mo Wang looked at the shield in Mash's hand and commented.
And in fact, the thing in Mash's hand was indeed quite strong.
As the table where the Knights of the Round Table held their meetings, its strength was linked to the user's mental fortitude. The setting was that as long as the heart did not yield, the castle walls would never crumble.
From this point alone, this thing was already powerful enough.
It was like WarGreymon's Brave Shield in Digimon Adventure. As long as I'm not scared, the shield won't break. If the shield doesn't break, I won't be scared.
It could even be used to perfectly exploit bugs. And it could also reflect attacks.
Moreover, it could directly summon Camelot, using a whole castle to smash people. Literally, taking a whole castle to fight someone.
But after hearing Mo Wang explain things for Mash again, the expression on Olga Marie's face became even more displeased.
There were already two slackers in the team before. Now that Mash had become stronger, didn't that just make her look completely useless except for being the straight man?
Thinking of this, Olga Marie puffed out her cheeks and turned her head away.
And looking at the sulking Director, Mo Wang scratched his head.
Of course, if he knew what Olga Marie was thinking, he probably would have been baffled.
Mo Wang: You've got to be kidding! The straight man is the soul of the entire team, okay?! Without the straight man, it's like losing the mascot. You're guaranteed to lose!
Just then, Cú Chulainn materialized and suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.
"Hey, Master. The situation up ahead doesn't look too good."
Cú Chulainn frowned as he spoke to Mo Wang and the others.
Earlier, Mo Wang had complained that Cú Chulainn was slacking off too much in the team, so he had sent him out to scout.
And from his current state, it seemed the situation wasn't very good.
"Don't rush. How bad can it be? Is Saber charging right at us?"
Compared to the anxious Cú Chulainn, Mo Wang was much calmer.
"In a sense, it's worse than that. The other Servants have already found us and are rushing over here!" Cú Chulainn said anxiously.
"Oh? The other Servants are already here? How many?" Mo Wang continued to ask.
"Four. Besides Saber, all the other Servants are here. Even that Berserker was drawn over. We made too much of a commotion."
From Cú Chulainn's expression, he probably wasn't worried about the other Servants. It was more likely that the psychological trauma caused by Berserker in a certain parallel world was too great, so much so that he was still instinctively afraid.
"So? Should we take care of this Lancer and Rider first? That Berserker isn't an easy opponent." Cú Chulainn walked over to Mo Wang and asked.
"Listening to you, it sounds like you can take care of two Shadow Servants in a short amount of time," Mo Wang said.
At the same time, his eyes glanced at a tall building in the distance.
If he wasn't mistaken, Archer seemed to be setting up a sniper nest over there.
"No can do. Even though they're Shadow Servants, as a Caster, I can't do it." Cú Chulainn spread his hands and decisively admitted defeat.
"Tsk, useless. It's not like you were that strong as a Lancer either," Mo Wang couldn't help but complain, hearing Cú Chulainn's words. This guy definitely wanted him to do the work, right?
Being questioned, Cú Chulainn grumbled unhappily, "You say that as if you've seen me as a Lancer. If I were a Lancer, I would have taken care of that Saber a long time ago!"
"Pfft!" However, hearing Cú Chulainn's words, someone couldn't help but laugh.
"What are you laughing at?" Cú Chulainn was stunned.
"Nothing. I just remembered something happy," Mo Wang waved his hand.
He wondered which doggo it was that couldn't even beat a half-dead Saber.
As for defeating Saber, that was more like a job for a Berserker.
At least he was a boss-level existence.
Speaking of which, Mo Wang seemed to have realized something.
He glanced at Cú Chulainn, his expression becoming stranger and stranger.
"Hey, what are you looking at? You're being weird." Mo Wang's expression was giving Cú Chulainn goosebumps.
"Nothing. I just suddenly understood something. A normal dog can't beat a mad dog."
Mo Wang said calmly.
This Cú Chulainn was really like a dog. The more he used his brain, the weaker he got.
It was recommended that he fight without his brain. Guaranteed to be strong.
