Chapter 124 Five Special Operations (VI)
Lin Qi had to stop thinking and swung his sword to block Cu Chulainn's magic spear.
Cu Chulainn's Alter's stats were not low, and he stabbed at him with all his strength. Lin Qi had no choice but to retreat after his hasty defense.
Lin Qi absorbed the impact from the sword and stopped where he was. A thoughtful expression appeared on his face, and then he suddenly realized:
"...I see. The Holy Grail is in your possession."
With a tone of understanding, Lin Qi looked at Cu Chulainn Alter who had repelled him.
There is really no place where a valuable item like the Holy Grail could be safer than by placing it directly in the hands of the strongest person.
Cu Chulainn Alter did not respond to Lin Qi's words, but looked at Maeve who was lying in a pool of blood.
"...Tsk, you are too weak, aren't you? You couldn't even block a single sword attack."
Cu Chulainn Alter was silent for a moment, then said with some disgust.
He was created by Maeve with the Holy Grail, so naturally he would have different emotions towards Maeve, but overall he still had no emotions. In addition, he was created based on the original Cu Chulainn, so being able to say such an awkward sentence was already his limit.
Maeve, who was on the verge of death, was speechless for a while, and could only say weakly:
"I'm not a warrior, how can I possibly react?"
Not far away, Lin Qi, who was standing there watching the two of them, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
No, you guys are making it seem like I'm the villain!
"It seems some people can't wait..."
Glancing at Lin Qi who might attack at any time, Maeve smiled a beautiful yet miserable smile with blood on the corner of her mouth:
"But I tried really hard this time, so Ku-chan..."
"Could you please compliment me a little?"
As she spoke, Maeve's body emitted a red light, which contrasted with the golden light emitted from the Holy Grail in Cuchulainn Alter's body.
A strange wave suddenly echoed throughout the battlefield.
Feeling this familiar feeling, Lin Qi's pupils suddenly shrank.
It's a summoning style!
To be more precise, it should be a variation of the "Twenty-Eight Warriors" that defeated Cu Chulainn in the legend of Maeve - the Twenty-Eight Demon Pillars Summoning Style!
"Damn it! Was he prepared long ago and used his own death as a condition for the summoning?"
Lin Qi cursed inwardly and couldn't help but look towards the Celtic army that was currently fighting against him.
An irreversible illusory summoning array had appeared there in the blink of an eye. The large, crisscrossed shadows that could make one's Sanity score drop drastically were beginning to appear. A huge black and red flesh pillar with eyes all over it had begun to appear.
It will probably take only a few seconds before it completely appears at this singularity.
Lin Qi was a little anxious, but he still knew what was most important now.
Without looking at the Demon Pillar team building over there, Lin Qi swept his cold eyes towards Cu Chulainn Alter.
At this time, Maeve had disappeared, and Cu Chulainn Alter was also holding the magic spear and looking at Lin Qi coldly.
"That's right, the Holy Grail you want is with me. If you are able, come and get it for yourself!"
Cu Chulainn pointed to his heart with his thumb, as an answer to Lin Qi's question just now.
"I will, of course, take it myself, and in the meantime—"
Lin Qi sneered and raised the Immortal Blade in his hand and pointed it at Cu Chulainn Alter.
"I will let you see Rama's true power!"
Cu Chulainn Alter grinned, held the magic spear in both hands, and said:
"It doesn't matter. If I can beat him once, I can beat him a second time!"
When Lin Qi truly entered into combat mode, there was only indifference in his eyes, and the power of his mind was faithfully piercing the murderous intent in his heart into the enemy's heart like biting ice.
"This time it's different—"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Qi directly entered super high speed state and rushed forward with sword in hand.
[Release the magic power of flowing fire to shoot and kill hundreds of Romans]!
The first move is the ultimate move!
A black shadow flashed by, and an endless stream of light attacks appeared in front of Cu Chulainn Alter.
The real battle between the two is about to begin!
Rune turned into a raging fire attached to the blade, and the magic power released was like putting on a larger flaming blade for it. Combined with the high speed of the attack, from a distance it looked like Lin Qi was holding a small sun and fighting with Cu Chulainn Alter.
The strength of these two is among the best in the entire singularity, so naturally the sound of their attacks would not be small. Wherever they go, the ground cracks and gravel flashes. If you don't know, you might think that these two are here to demolish something.
But now if we only talk about the numbers, Lin Qi, who has A+ strength and the skills of [Super Strength] and [Magic Release], is naturally better than Cu Chulainn Alter.
In addition, Lin Qi was incredibly fast, and his proficiency in [Shooting a Hundred Heads Roman Style] had also improved a lot in the battle with Beowulf. For a while, Cu Chulainn Alter could only take a beating. His burly body was knocked back by Lin Qi's high-speed attack, and hot blood kept falling along the way.
Sword marks that tore the flesh apart, blood holes deep enough to reveal the bones... and all kinds of injuries that were enough to cause a person to lose some of their body functions kept appearing on Cu Chulainn Alter's body.
Cu Chulainn Alter seemed to have not suffered any of these attacks at all. Not only was there no expression on his face, but even his body movements did not show the slightest deformation, which made people wonder, is this guy's flesh growing on his body?
'so hard! '
Lin Qi couldn't help but frowning slightly as he felt like he was hitting some special alloy with every attack. This was after he added a bunch of buffs. If some weak servants were to attack, they would probably have difficulty even breaking the defense.
I have to admit that Lin Qi has met an opponent of the same type as himself this time. Cu Chulainn Alter not only has amazing output capabilities, but also has extremely strong defense.
The animal-skin-like covering his entire body was his extremely hard armor. In the original plot, he even withstood a shot from Karna's [Sun Disc, Submit to Death] with his own body, and was only forced to return to the base to rest due to burns all over his body.
Although this record was largely due to the fact that Karna was ambushed and severely injured, and it was a hasty attack that almost shattered his spiritual base, it also shows how strong Cu Chulainn Alter's physical defense is.
While recalling, Lin Qi glanced at the wound he had just made on Cu Chulainn Alter.
I saw the flesh and blood growing at the wound, as if it had come alive, and it returned to normal in the blink of an eye.
This is the power of Rune.
If Cu Chulainn Alter only had a very high physical strength, Lin Qi's attacks during this period would be enough to kill him once or twice, but who can blame him for still having Rune to continuously recover his health?
Cu Chulainn's method of using Alter is somewhat different from Lin Qi and Scathach. He directly discarded the other functions of Rune and only used it as a tool to strengthen and restore the body. He even chose to use Rune to recover when there was still destructive fire magic remaining in the wound!
This would certainly allow for a stronger recovery ability, but the problem was that it was equivalent to destroying and repairing at the same time, which was extremely painful. Even Lin Qi would generally not choose to use this method to treat his injuries.
"But that alone won't be enough to keep up with my speed of destruction!"
How fast is Lin Qi's attack speed when he uses the Roman-style shooting to kill a hundred heads? If Cu Chulainn Alter only intends to defend like this, he will be killed by Lin Qi sooner or later.

Chapter 125 Five Special Operations.
"This is the Demonic Pillar... Can it be summoned like this?!"
Before the final battle officially started, Lin Qi had already told Helena about this possible situation, and Helena was more or less mentally prepared. But no matter what she said, after actually seeing it, Helena's pupils still trembled.
The Demon Pillars are not just some small fry, not only do they have immense magical powers, they are also tank-turret-type existences. Each one of them requires multiple servants to deal with it. Now there are twenty-eight of them, and they will only be more powerful than just one or two normal ones!
(Note: This multiple servant must be averaged from all servants.)
Moreover, with this level of summoning, even if you let Solomon himself appear in the world with a normal spiritual base, I am afraid that he cannot summon twenty-eight at once. From this point of view alone, we can know how good Maeve is as the best user of the Holy Grail so far.
From this perspective, the interstellar player Demon Pillar who once said that he was born to be "summoned" is not even worthy of licking Maeve's feet.
Although she was shocked, Helena did not stop and hurriedly ordered the mechanical soldiers to stay away from the location of the Demon Pillar. She also notified the servants who were about to wipe out the Shadow Servant Team to go and stop the Demon Pillar.
But actually there is no need to notify, the Demon Pillar is so huge that even ordinary people can easily see it standing in the corner of the battlefield, let alone the servants?
The servants had already discovered their existence before they fully appeared.
"This, this, what is this?!"
Elizabeth tilted her head back and opened her eyes wide.
Didn't she just come here to fight the Shadow Servants and kill the minions? How could something like this appear?!
"This must be... the big boss."
Robin Hood looked at the exquisite little bow in his hand, then looked at the absurdly large demon pillars in front of him, and the corners of his eyes twitched twice.
With his attack power, if he doesn't use a treasure, he can probably just give this guy a scratch, right?
"No matter what it is, it is currently the biggest pathogen on this earth, so we have to fight it!"
Nightingale looked serious, took out his pistol and fired several shots at the Demon Pillar.
The bullet sank into the huge pillar of flesh without even a splash.
Nightingale: "..."
"Master Li, do you have any way to deal with this big guy?"
Sighing, Robin Hood looked at Li Shuwen, the strongest among them, who was standing aside.
"……No."
Li Shuwen was speechless. He was indeed very accurate in dealing with humans, but what was this thing in front of him?
Does anyone still expect him to run over to the other person's face and perform a set of Bajiquan?
"If it was just a single Demon God Pillar, I would be able to fight it, but the one in front of me is a collection of Demon God Pillars..."
"I really have no choice."
Li Shuwen shook his head and explained.
The demon pillars that appeared on this battlefield were not 28 arranged in a row, but a super demon aggregate formed by interlacing, entangled and twisted with each other.
Just standing there, it blocked out half of the sky. It was clearly noon, but in the eyes of the followers, it seemed like night. The strange demonic energy of the demon god aggregation dyed everything in sight into a dark color with flashes of lightning...
And the twisted and huge figures under the black and red light seemed to be saying: At this moment, they are the only ones worthy of standing on this land.
Before anyone could think carefully, the demonic aggregation had already begun to act.
The magic cannons, like a barrage of Gatling guns, rained down on their location, and their ferocious tentacles were not idle either, smashing down on all the enemies around them like swatting flies.
Upon seeing this, the pupils of several people shrank and they hurriedly ran away from where they were, using their respective abilities to avoid the attacks of the demon aggregation.
"Boom-boom!!!"
Several people were fleeing when a scarlet track suddenly streaked across the sky, and with one strike, it broke a huge tentacle into two pieces.
Although the tentacle did not lose its vitality directly and was slowly recovering, it successfully slowed down the offensive of the demon aggregate, allowing the three people who had barely dodged its intensive attacks to breathe a sigh of relief.
Great! It's the old lady with two guns!
Scathach did not stop, but used the same posture to break off several huge tentacles mainly composed of the Demon Pillar's body, and then fell back to the ground.
Seeing this, everyone hurried over.
"Do you have any idea how to deal with them?"
Li Shuwen asked.
Scathach, who had just dealt with the subspecies dragon and used the Noble Phantasm several times in a row, breathed a sigh of relief, adjusted her breath and said:
"There is definitely no way to get rid of them using conventional methods... However, I have a solution that is not a solution. It is to open the gate of the Shadow Kingdom that I am guarding and try to suck them in."
"Once they enter the Shadow Kingdom of Death, they won't be able to survive even if they want to."
Elizabeth blinked:
"So why don't you use it?"
Scathach glanced at the Dragon Lady and said:
"The problem is that I can't open a [door] big enough to suck them all in under normal circumstances. I can only try to open a [door] big enough at the cost of damaging my own spiritual foundation. But if I fail and I can't fight anymore..."
Scathach didn't say anything else. Everyone present was not stupid and would definitely understand what she meant.
"That means if you fail, we will lose another powerful fighter, and the subsequent battles will be difficult, right?"
Elizabeth thought for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on.
After saying this, Elizabeth raised her little face proudly, as if asking everyone to come and praise her.
