“Curse. No, this is the Spur of Death that pierces through cause and effect.
"You are the Light-Bearer of Ireland!"
Seeing the moves of the gunner, the same English warrior immediately recognized the true identity of this spirit.
The Holy Grail War has an unwritten strategy.
That's right. At the beginning of the Holy Grail War, all the heroes try to keep their real identity hidden.
If their identity is recognized, it's possible to deduce the abilities of the possessed relics through myths, thus coming up with a way to suppress them.
The summoned heroes do not know each other unless they were summoned and encountered each other in a previous Holy Grail War.
After all, although they are all heroes, they are not heroes in the same era.
"Damn, I've been recognized."
The master took a casual glance at the long lance and retreated.
"Nevertheless, it doesn't matter. No one can evade my shot. So, I'll take you with me too; it's a good thing I have one less competitor!"
Despite being recognized by his identity and having his techniques observed by the other party, he was not at all concerned. He had enough confidence in his own abilities and techniques.
Just now, wasn't that powerful sorcerer easily dealt with by a single shot from me?
"Mr. Maple, how are you?"
Upon seeing George pierced through the heart by the long spear, Guardian Yoroi Sarato quickly picked up an enhanced branch he found nearby, courageously charging out and protecting George from behind.
He may not be a match for the lancer, but he must protect Mr. Maple, who saved him.
However, another figure stood in his way.
"You take him to the side to treat his wounds first, and leave the lancer to me to deal with."
Standing in front of Guardian Yoroi Sarato was the female warrior. With a clap of her hands, an invisible and formless long sword appeared in her hand.
The other party intends to deal with her here, and she's also here to take out the lancer, reducing a competitor.
"Well, I'm fine. Maybe you guys should give me a chance to fight first, and then you can come in if I lose?"
Otherwise, this would give the impression that we lack chivalry and are ganging up on him.”
As the swordswoman and the gunner were about to engage in battle, a leisurely voice echoed behind them.
"Mr. Maple. Are you... are you okay?"
Guardian Yoroi Sarato stood there with a dazed look on his face, staring at the hole in George's heart that was healing at an incredible speed. At the same time, he let out a scream of surprise.
"This is impossible! I hit him for sure!"
Guardian Yoroi Sarato and the swordswoman stepped aside, and Kuu looked at George's chest, which was completely unharmed, with a shocked expression.
"I'm sorry, I'm a tree. Trees don't have hearts, so the best you could get is a tree hole."
George stepped forward two steps and wiggled his fingers at the lancer with a smile.
"Come on again, let me see what other tricks you have."
The fatal technique with causal laws from the other side had indeed broken through his defense and pierced his body.
But this purely physical attack, even if it succeeds, would do him no harm.
Don't say that his duplicate is a tree, trees don't have hearts. Even if it were a human body, piercing the heart wouldn't be fatal to him.
Even if he turned his entire body into cells, with his current regeneration and magical abilities, he could regenerate them quickly.
Unless his soul is directly annihilated and sealed away, he is an indestructible being.
"Well, it seems like you're a tree after all. Hmph, my employer is a coward who used a charm to order me to retreat immediately if this move fails. Looks like I'll have to deal with you guys another time."
Kuu did not continue the attack but instead retracted his long lance and leapt onto the roof.
"Are you retreating?"
The swordswoman furrowed her brow and asked in a stern tone.
And that question clearly hurt Kuu's pride, he turned his head with a cold expression:
"Retreat? I'm just temporarily leaving. But if you come after me, then come with the resolve to die!"
With that, he leapt up and prepared to leave.
"BANG!"
Too bad the next second, he seemed to collide with an invisible glass window and was reflected back into the courtyard.
"What happened?"
Kuu rolled over to his feet, rubbing the bump on his forehead, his eyes showing confusion.
George stepped forward two steps and smiled.
"I'm sorry, but I had just set up a barrier around the yard. Without my permission, no one can leave this yard."
"If you seek death, then I shall grant it to you!"
Kuu heard this and was enraged. He injected all his magical power into the long spear, leaping into the sky and assuming a throwing pose:
"You are a tree without vital organs, so I will vaporize your entire body and let you die—Spear of Death: Burst Penetration!
If his relic were to be activated alone, it would be a strike that hits the target inevitably due to causality.
But it required him to assume a posture, which could not be interrupted prematurely, and also within the range of attack.
Encountering an enemy who can heal their wounds, or whose normal injuries are ineffective, requires the second ultimate move of the relic.
At this moment, the relic transformed from being used against individuals to being used against an entire army. Although it no longer had the effect of hitting the target inevitably due to causality, it became a terrifying attack that could destroy an entire city.
But this attack would also drain all his magical energy.
The long spear, red with immense energy, shot downward towards George from high above.
The immense pressure caused the swordswoman's brows to furrow, and she clenched her grip on the transparent sword in her hands, ready to step forward and help if George couldn't handle the attack.
As an apprentice mage, Guardian Yoroi Sarato could barely catch his breath, his body rigid.
"Such an attack is meaningless."
Facing such a terrifying attack, George shook his head.
To him, the previously executed attack that was bound to hit the target due to causality was quite valuable for study.
Skills focused on destructive power are trash to him. There are too many magical skills that can achieve the same effect, or even surpass it.
"Stop!"
Just as the red lance was about to touch the center of George's brow, a soft word escaped from his mouth.
As George's voice echoed, the lance seemed to be under a petrification curse, and it stopped mid-air.
The colossal red energy within the lance dissipated into thin air without a trace.
"Seems like that's all you've got. Time to end this."
George sensed that new masters and heroes were approaching from afar, and he grabbed the red spear, quickly moving to stand in front of the stunned gunner.
"Faint into darkness!"
The modified sleeping spell struck the gunner, temporarily trapping them in their own little world.
The red spear may be a relic, but it is also made of metal, and all metals can be controlled by him.
And why did the colossal energy on the relic disappear?
Of course, it's because he practices the Qi-body Source Stream and the Absorption Magic; energy attacks are completely ineffective against him.
"What an terrifying magician!"
The swordswoman watched as George effortlessly neutralized the gunner's attack, rendering them unconscious and sealing them away into an unknown space. She couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.
You see, even she would have a hard time resisting those two moves from the lancer if she didn't have the information.
