So facing this inevitable causal curse, with only an ordinary stabbing attack left, there was only one thing Lin Qi needed to do - use all his strength to activate his treasure and protect his internal organs!
With a thought, golden light flickered on the flag and poured over Lin Qi's whole body.
If someone could see inside Lin Qi's body at this time, they would find that the internal organs were already tightly wrapped in golden light, and just looking at it would make them feel full of security.
After doing all this, Lin Qi felt a little more relaxed, but he didn't dare to relax too much. He was still watching Scathach's movements and the treasure in her hand carefully.
The closer it got to Scathach releasing her Noble Phantasm, the more he could feel the "thing" that was locking him down.
The next moment.
"【Gae Bolg Alternative】!"
Finally, Scathach let out a loud roar and released the treasure that she had been holding in her hand for some time.
It was also at this moment that Lin Qi saw a twisted red thread connecting the tip of the magic gun to his heart.
——Can I break free from “cause and effect”?
Such a sentence suddenly flashed through Lin Qi's mind.
At the same time when this thought came to his mind, Lin Qi laughed, a little arrogantly.
The answer is – of course!
There was no chance for "My Heart Is Like This" to function, and the "red line" was torn apart the moment the answer appeared!
The magic spear still in the air was confused. It flashed in the air and finally rushed into Scathach's hand.
Scathach reached out to catch the magic spear, looking at Lin Qi with complicated eyes, it was unclear whether she was depressed, entangled or something else.
"It actually broke free, my Noble Phantasm..."
Now, the only weapon she had that could threaten Lin Qi was not as threatening as just throwing the spear.
……

Chapter 113 The enemy attacks again.
"It actually broke free, my Noble Phantasm..."
With Scathach's keen eyesight, she had actually anticipated this situation, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Originally, she had imagined that she would have to smash down more than a dozen treasures before the effect would appear. However, it turned out that the effect was over just after she used the treasure.
Lin Qi's [Tiger, Burning Brilliantly] is very similar to the Earl's Noble Phantasm in form, but the way it works is slightly different.
The Count's Noble Phantasm is to think at super-speed and force a reaction in the body, allowing him to subjectively achieve super-speed actions comparable to "time stop".
Lin Qi directly broke free from the constraints of "time" and "space", and achieved ultra-high-speed action, which essentially highlights the concept of "breaking free" or "freedom".
The former [Escapist] was of the same nature.
Scathach had vaguely sensed this, so she deliberately tried to test him at this time, but she never thought...
For a moment, Scathach didn't know what expression she should have when her unique skill was broken in this way.
"I did break free, but it was just luck, just a fluke."
Looking at Scathach who seemed a little lost, Lin Qi's arrogant smile just now suddenly changed, and he looked at Scathach with a smirk.
"Oh, have you learned it?"
Scathach sneered.
"Just do it..."
Lin Qi said this subconsciously, but halfway through, he suddenly felt that he had let something slip, and his voice became quieter again.
Looking at Lin Qi who looked like he had done something wrong, Scathach couldn't help but hold her forehead and let out a long sigh:
"Alas, I can't do anything about you. Anyway, I'm just like him. I guess I won't accept any more disciples in the future..."
It is not without reason that Shenzhou always says that it is better to teach the apprentice than to starve the master to death.
Although this is not particularly true for her.
But at the same time, she also clearly sensed from Lin Qi's mental perception that Lin Qi would never kill her just for such a trivial matter as wanting to die.
"If you have learned it, just simply lock onto me. This is your homework before you become my apprentice."
Scathach decided to make one last struggle.
"Oh."
Lin Qi didn't think much about it. He stared at Scathach and locked her with what he had just learned.
Scathach: "..."
"It's boring. If you're in the mood, just keep teaching."
After a moment's silence, Scathach said something to Li Shuwen and left without looking back.
Lin Qi knew that his performance was a bit hurtful, but he had no choice but to thank Scathach loudly as she left:
"Master, thank you! What you taught me is really important!"
Scathach didn't respond, but just kept walking forward.
Only when Scathach's back disappeared from his sight did Lin Qi sigh and look away.
If saving humanity wasn't so urgent, he would actually be happy to hide his clumsiness a little and appear closer to ordinary people.
But saving humanity is not a job for ordinary people, so how can he behave like an ordinary person?
He could only use his utmost strength to make himself stronger as quickly as possible, strong enough to defeat a beast, a top beast among beasts.
"Master Li, shall we start learning now?"
Lin Qi turned his gaze to Li Shuwen who was sitting stiffly beside him.
Li Shuwen: "..."
What should I do if I suddenly don’t want to teach?
……
Skills acquired:
【No two hits (——)】
【Circle (C)】
In the end, Li Shuwen still taught.
Then he saw right before his eyes how Lin Qi, who was surrounded by the murderous "qi swallowing" formed by his [Wu Er Da], broke free from it in a dignified manner.
"With your talent, you basically don't need a master to teach you. If you see someone with great martial arts skills in the future, just ask him to spar with you, and you will be able to learn it."
Li Shuwen patted Lin Qi on the shoulder and spoke earnestly.
After saying that, he left without looking back just like Scathach.
As an apprentice, Lin Qi is really too worry-free. He can learn it after being taught once and can quickly turn it into his own. As his master, I don't even have the chance to guide him in the right direction.
Now, they have taught everything they can, and Lin Qi has memorized it all. He is still a little immature in using it at the moment, but it probably won’t take long for him to master it, right?
The only thing that could limit Lin Qi was probably the fact that his right arm was a prosthetic arm, which meant that no matter how he tried to cover it up, holding weapons with both hands would always reveal certain flaws.
Especially when using a weapon like a gun that requires the coordination of both hands, the flaws will be even greater.
Li Shuwen could only hope that the other party could find a way to make up for this as soon as possible.
As for now.
He and Scathach had the same idea and didn't want to see Lin Qi again in the short term!
Even regarding the matter of finding someone to spar with in a fight, Master Li wouldn't have any idea at all for the time being!
……
……
Lin Qi didn't know where the two masters went in the end. Anyway, when he found Geronimo and others who were retreating to Edison Base, he didn't see them.
With Revelation and Rune, Lin Qi could certainly find the two of them, but since they were probably not in a good mood, Lin Qi did not disturb them.
Lin Qi, who had some free time, summoned two two-legged flying dragons to help the residents and soldiers in the town transport supplies, and escort the group to Edison's base camp.
The town was not very far from Edison’s base camp. With Lin Qi joining them, the group arrived at their destination around the evening.
"You mean, Cuchulainn is attacking us again?"
Lin Qi, who was pulled into the meeting room by Karna as soon as he came back, said with some surprise.
If he remembered correctly, it seemed that at the same time when Cuchulainn Alter attacked the town of Geronimo, their side launched a large-scale offensive against Edison.
It was considered a covering attack, but the number of troops used was no less.
"That's right, but there's nothing we can do about it. The Holy Grail is with them, and the one who used it was that Maeve."
Helena spread her hands helplessly.
Among all the Holy Grail users, Maeve is undoubtedly the best one.
Not only did he create the exceptional servant Black Dog, he also summoned a group of warriors from Celtic legends, and was able to use his own legends as a template to perform certain miracles.
The most classic example is that Maeve absorbed the genetic information given by the soldiers and replicated it in her body. She cut the tip of her index finger with a blade, and when her blood dripped onto the ground, this small drop of blood turned into a pool of blood, and the soldiers were "created" together with the blood bubbles.
This is why there are almost endless Celtic soldiers.
"They probably organize a normal force that is enough to start a large-scale battle every day, and launch two or three attacks on the cities we occupy. If we were not servants, we would probably be exhausted to death."
Helena continued.
"Hehe, only I can organize the productivity to compete with them. If you let Tesla come, I'm afraid mankind would have been finished long ago!"
Edison said proudly, not forgetting to step on Tesla.
……

Chapter 114 A very hot, very fast person.
"The situation now is very simple. We have an advantage in the quality of our soldiers, but we are at a disadvantage in terms of the number of our soldiers."
"We can easily retake the occupied city, but the other side doesn't have to think about armaments or anything like that. All they need to do is attack fiercely and send a random Servant to take the city back with mass-produced Celtic soldiers."
"Before this, as you know, we only have three servants here: me, Karna, and Edison. To be precise, Karna is the only servant that can be called upon. It's already very good that we can hold the defense line."
Helena first explained the battle situation so far.
Edison: "But things are different after you came! Master, you not only have the power of Rama, but you also brought back a lot of servants who were unwilling to join me before. As long as we make some preparations tomorrow, we can directly launch a counterattack!"
"In fact, the other party thinks so too."
Helena said, projecting a map with two thick red arrows on it.
"Did you see these two arrows? This is the enemy's marching route detected by my familiar. They probably divided all the Celtic soldiers into two parts, and are attacking us from the north and south sides all over the mountains. At their marching speed, they will arrive tomorrow afternoon."
"As for tonight's attack, I guess it's the vanguard. They're trying to find out our movements while harassing us. They probably don't intend to let us get a good night's sleep?"
"Ah, I feel like everything has moved a lot faster since you came here, Kobayashi."
Helena, who was the most versatile and also the hardest working, couldn't help but sigh. God knows how much hair she had lost during this period?
——By the way, will Servants lose their hair?
Lin Qi felt a little embarrassed when he heard Helena's complaint.
In fact, he also discovered that almost every singularity plot he added seemed to be much more urgent than the original plot.
So far, only the early and middle stages of the Rome singularity were relatively easy, while the rest, even the third singularity, seemed to be more urgent overall, and the fourth singularity was over in just half a day.
Lin Qi has hardly stopped at the fifth singularity. He landed in the east, which is close to the White House occupied by Cu Chulainn Alter. In order to find Rama, Lin Qi almost crossed the entire America.
Then he obtained the power of Rama, found Geronimo and others, solved Edison's problems, and learned martial arts from two masters. He never stopped.
In just over half a day, they completed the work that would have taken the original protagonist group about three or four days.
However, it is hard to say that this situation occurred without Lin Qi's intelligence reasons. Lin Qi has never been a headless fly, and his goals have always been clear.
