I dashed forward and my sword t dusa's spear/scythe combination weapon with a loud crash, but I was forced back with swiftly as I franticly dodged the swipes and stabs from the spear.
"Fuck!" I cursed as dusa swiped upwards with her 'lance' and I was launched into the air.
I had to be extrely careful not to even be scratched by her weapon as she wielded the Noble Phantasm Harpe, which had the conceptual ability to prevent targets hurt by it from healing with magic or otherwise enhanced healing in anyway other than naturally healing over a longer ti period than normal.
I was also frowning at how even with how reduced this dusa was as a Shadow Servant and unable to even use a decent Noble Phantasm and her stats being lowered significantly, she still could match blow for blow easily in terms of strength though it felt like I was faster but her cursed weapon and the inhuman reflexes she had overca my physical speed advantage.
But I had a massive bag of tricks to bully my opponents.
dusa leaped into the air to et in the air while steeping on chains she sohow anchored in the air and just as she went to dash higher past with her lance aid at gutting with the motion, I ignited my rocket boots making a massive explosion in the air when she was right beneath and I could hear the crack of the ground shattering as the Lancer class Servant was violently throw back into the ground.
"Hmph Perseus had a similar trick with his Hers Sandals." dusa spat as she stood back up only lightly burned on her exposed skin and the explosion burned off her hood showing a set of glowing light purple eyes with square pupils.
I could feel my body stiffening under her gaze, and I ntally applauded my decision to take Magic Resistance during my last level up as my armor wasn't all that effective at blocking magic of this level.
When dusa leaped forward to take advantage of my stiffening body, Mash had finally regathered herself and blindsided dusa as she was maintaining eye contact with to keep frozen in place.
A loud crack rang out as Mash's large and more importantly very heavy shield smashed into dusa's chest and threw her into one of the buildings.
"Woah, kids these days are just vicious aren't they Lancer?" A male voice asked and then out of one of the neighboring alleys a blue spiky haired man wielding a staff and wearing a robe over a muscle shirt confidently strode over.
"Mash, protect your master!" Olga yelled and Mash hesitated at leaving and the two servants with one of them certainly hostile.
"Oh, little lady, don't worry I am not an enemy Haha!" The male servant then put his back to showing his stance as he rounded on the set of wrath filled glowing eyes. "I am not one of these corrupted Servants... I am the Caster Servant of this grail war and more importantly I am Ireland's Child of Light, C Chulainn!" He said boisterously as he looked back and pointed his thumb at himself proud of his identity, which I understood what with him being the Celtic Pantheon's, Hercules equivalent.
Before C could go on further dusa had already attacked him, but sadly all that grand standing previously was just a muse as he had used his foot to etch runes into the ground and when she dashed forward, he retreated and when she crossed over where he previously stood, she was engulfed in a deluge of white-hot flas that looked like soone aid a massive cutting torch onto her.
The flas soon cut off and dusa was already glowing a soft golden as she began to dissipate into motes of light as she stared at .
"If you summon at so point, I will recall that trick... Boy." She whispered and I could only exhale in relief as, far as I am aware her actual Lancer class from shows her much younger from and shouldn't have the mories of other grails wars.
And when she said 'Boy...' It sounded almost wistful or sothing?
I shook the thoughts out of my mind as Shadow Servants were basically mutated, lesser forms of their true forms, so I shouldn't focus on that.
I turned to check on Mash but could only deadpan at how she was already being harped at by Olga and Cu for stepping away from her master.
"Little Miss, I admire your gumption, but you need to protect your squishy and helpless kitten of a Master." C Chulainn gently explained to Mash as Fujimaru pouted at being called a kitten.
"But what about Jake! He was fighting dusa and was being turned to stone !" Mash shouted refusing to see her actions as wrong what with how I kept the fight away from the magus duo and with our speeds we would have a couple seconds to pounce and deal a great blow should dusa try to separate and attack the weak duo.
"Bah that kid?" Chu snorted and gave a look rolling his eyes. "I don't know what nonsense that kid is up too, but I can feel a divine signature radiating off of him like he is a demigod, not to ntion that sword?"
C Chulainn didnt have bother to explain as my sword was obviously capable of smashing head on with Noble Phantasm's.
I just shrugged as I had zero way to explain my demigod 'scent' or whatever and could only thank Hestia that the Nasuverse Hestia didnt get up to any nonsense as far as I was aware.
"Lets get going! We may have gotten another Servant and one that is capable of battle but Mash still hasn't figured out her Noble Phantasm and we need to summon our own Servant at the Leyline." I ordered strictly making Fujimaru and Mash stiffen at the weight in my voice though Olga glared at for avoiding the topic and C Chulainn honestly didnt seem to give a damn.
Though that wasn't all that much of a surprise, seeing as he was the son of the sun god Lugh in the Celtic Pantheon
As we quickly made our way over the river and through the city only pausing briefly to destroy so skeletons and other weak undead, we finally made our way into an abandoned building that Roman said was over the Leyline and we could use Mash's shield as a catalyst to initiate the summoning ritual.
I watched Fujimaru holding her hand over the shield now lightly glowing as the Master of Chaldea's command seals glowed as she said the incantation to summon her servant and I had to wonder.
"Which Servant will I summon?" I muttered.
