Skill extraction starting from Dragon Clan

"It's been such a long time since we last met. We haven't seen each other for maybe a thousand years, right?"

Facing the Wind King's Hammer issued by Arturia, the witch still appeared calm and indifferent, and even thought about chatting.

She just raised her hand slightly, and a bright wall of light blocked her face.

boom! ! !

The broken wind hammer bombarded the light wall, but it was completely unable to break through the seemingly thin layer of protection. The light wall blocked Artoria's blow without even a trace of fluctuation.

"This is, 'Tower'? Is it you?!"

After seeing the silver-white wall of light and feeling the familiar aura of power inside, Artoria's charging steps suddenly stopped. She even cautiously took two steps back, and her gaze towards the enemy became abnormal. complex.

"Are you so wary of me? It really makes me sad."

Although she said teasing words, the witch still maintained a cold expression on her face. She flipped up her hair and looked directly at Arturia, with unconcealable anger in her eyes.

"After all, we lived together as lovers for a while, didn't we, Arthur?"

"Morgan..."

Arturia looked at the woman who was his wife in history, her eyes full of complex expressions.

In the history of Xingyue, Morgan is a trinity. She is a fusion of the three characters of King Arthur's two sisters, Morgan le Fay, Morgause and the Witch of the Lake Vivian.

Morgan Le Fay, the half-sister of King Arthur, is also the first villain in the legend of the Knights of the Round Table.

Morgause, King Arthur's other half-sister, is also a theoretical villain, but she is also the heroic mother who gave birth to five Knights of the Round Table.

Unknowingly, he fell in love with his younger brother (sister) Artoria and fell in love with her. Later, he even used Artoria's genetic factors to create the artificial human Mordred, although he did not have the name of queen. Although she is not worthy of being called Artoria's wife, she is indeed her wife.

In addition, the four knights of the Round Table, Agagui, Gawain, Gahoris, and Gareth, were also artificial humans created by her, but the origin of the mother (father) body was not clear.

However, although she is called a villain, Morgause actually did nothing. Even in the orthodox legend, she only seduced King Arthur to give birth to Mordred, which indirectly led to the destruction of the kingdom.

As for the Lake Fairy Vivian, she is the adoptive mother of Lancelot, the Knight of the Round Table, a disciple of Merlin, and the Lady of the Lake who awarded King Arthur the Holy Sword.

Yes, there are at least a dozen nymphs in the lake in the original version of King Arthur's legend, but in the world of Xingyue, they are all concentrated on Vivian.

So many personality traits are completely concentrated in Morgan, so in the history of Xingyue, she is basically in a state of mental instability all year round.

Anger, guilt, fear, nostalgia... In the end, Artoria mixed all the emotions together and turned them into a calm coldness.

"I didn't expect you to also participate in this Holy Grail War. You must have caused the current situation!"

"Huh! How rude! Do you think that I did it when you saw any conspiracy?"

Morgan was a little dissatisfied with Arturia's "slander", but then he thought that this incident seemed to be all because of him, so he became silent.

After seeing her performance, Arturia knew what she was doing, so she solemnly grasped the invisible sword and made a battle-ready posture.

"As expected, it was you who did it, so are you here this time to end things with me again?"

"Finish it? Humph! You thought well, but it's not me, but my child!"

Morgan waved again, and a pool of mirror-like water appeared under her feet. Immediately afterwards, Mordred, who was imprisoned downstairs, was teleported up from the water.

"I really didn't expect that you didn't kill her immediately after you captured her. Could it be that the king who doesn't understand people's hearts finally has feelings?"

Morgan sneered and casually supported Mordred. Mordred, who had been imprisoned by various magics and fell into a coma, immediately emitted magic circles, and then in a silvery white light, these The magic circle carefully arranged by Medea immediately shattered and turned into spirits and dissipated.

But before Mordred could wake up, an angry shout came from downstairs, and Medusa brandished her weapon and punched through the ceiling and jumped up from downstairs.

"who?!"

"Be careful! Don't get close to her!"

Faced with Medusa's attack, Artoria was the first to issue a warning.

Unfortunately, Medusa's sprint speed was too fast, and she had no time to adjust her body shape before she rushed to Morgan's side.

Under Morgan's expressionless gaze, the originally menacing Medusa suddenly disappeared.

"you?!"

Artoria saw Medusa disappear in front of her, and her whole body burst out with a powerful aura, but she still lingered around and did not dare to get close.

After Medusa disappeared, Morgan also showed a look of disgust: "Really, this was originally a 'court' prepared for you, but I didn't expect that this guy came in first."

The great magic mastered by Morgan can be roughly divided into "mirror", "tower", "courtyard" and "coffin".

Among them, "mirror" is the magic of time and space transfer, such as the "water mirror" that transfers time and space, and the "combined mirror" that transfers dimensions through the connection of sub-mirrors and main mirrors.

"Tower" refers to the magic developed with reference to the holy spear Lungominiad. Its specific manifestations include the form of a spear that can pierce people, and a wall of light that can protect. When fully used, it can A super giant barrier that completely envelops an entire country.

"Court" is a type of magic tool that can trap objects, such as "Sweet Dream", "Abyss", "Frustrated", "Innocent", etc. Among them, "The Court of the Innocent" is the magic that traps Merlin. , and the "Garden of Frustration" is a repeated negative psychological attack on the trapped person.

The "coffin" is similar to artificial hibernation, and artificial humans such as Mordred are also created using this magic.

After being summoned as an Assassin class, these four great magics appeared as her Noble Phantasms.

The ability to make Medusa disappear out of thin air just now was the "court" that Morgan had arranged in advance around his body, and it was a specialized court of frustration.

The reason why Medusa disappeared was actually because she was trapped in another small space by the "court".

This is the "court" specially chosen by Morgan for Artoria. Once Artoria is tricked, the battle between her and Mordred will be replayed all the time, allowing her to experience the pain of her failure over and over again.

But now they have been destroyed by Medusa, so Morgan seems very angry, but fortunately she has another plan.

"Mother?" After Mordred woke up and looked at the scene in front of him, he almost thought he had traveled back in time.

"Mordred, my most proud child, you are a sword, a sword of courage. In that era, no one except you had the courage to stab the hero Arthur with a sword."

Morgan stroked Modre's head like a mother would her own child.

The words she spoke were like poison to Mordred, just like irrigating a thirsty knight. He couldn't survive without these poisons for even a second.

Being praised and affirmed.

It would be a lie if Mordred was not happy about this, and it would also be a lie if he said he was not grateful to his mother for seeing through this.

Mordred, who had just woken up from the magic blockade, suddenly heard such praise again, feeling as if he was still in a sweet dream.

"Yes, you are the sword that challenges the king. Even if no one recognizes your rebellion, I will agree with it. Your rebellion is the right thing to do. Even though no one in the world understands this, I can still understand it."

Morgan looked at the shaken Mordred with kind and caring eyes. In this shabby room, the witch wanted to kidnap the knight, and she was gradually succeeding.

"So, go! My child, continue the battle you have not completed during your lifetime. This time no one else will hinder you. Defeat King Arthur, win the Holy Grail War, and realize your wish. Tell me, you What is your wish?"

"my wish……"

The wish hidden deep in my heart almost burst out of my mouth. As long as I listen to my wish, my mother will help me realize it.

Mordred felt the wavering in his heart. His body had not recovered under the blockade of magic, so he was in pain all over, and his spirit was exhausted from the battle in front of him. In this state, could he get rid of this temptation? ?

"You will one day defeat the king and become the king."

"I do not recognize you as my son, and I do not intend to inherit the throne to you."

"You must face your father properly."

Various words spoken during his lifetime emerged before his eyes.

Why do I want to be a king?

Is it the pride of being the son of the famous King Arthur, or is it the idolization of his father's figure?

I have dreamed of the Chosen Sword appearing in front of me several times, but why do I feel hesitant to hold this sword as a sin?

The scene of King Arthur pulling out the Chosen Sword seemed to reappear in front of Mordred's eyes. It was a scene that was engraved in his soul when it was "produced".

At the moment when she drew the sword, the magician beside her told her that if she got the sword, only the worst ending was waiting for her, and everything accumulated would be destroyed bit by bit, and it would be too empty and lonely to meet her. Death, the magician even carefully let the girl know that he affects all developments before death.

"No!"

Even after receiving such a prophecy, the girl still flatly refused.

Facing the reality that becoming a queen will become more and more miserable, the girl said in soft words: "That's not the case. Many people smiled during this process. I think this must not be a mistake."

…

At this moment, Mordred, who had seen this scene countless times, suddenly woke up.

Her father was so different. From the beginning, she did not want to protect people after becoming a king, but became a king because she wanted to protect people. Even though the magician showed the tragic ending, he still chose to hold the hilt of the sword tightly.

That’s why I was able to survive such a miserable life and never look back. The background she yearned for was not majestic and majestic, but delicate and sentimental.

The illusion in front of them continues. No one intends to help the girl who draws the sword. The other knights have an attitude of "Only I should be the king" and are keen on riding horses.

However, at this moment, the illusion that she had seen thousands of times suddenly changed. The magician who was speechless after speaking suddenly turned to her side and asked with a sly smile:

"Okay, what are you going to do?"

…

…

"Then tell me your wish."

The witch's bewitchment continued, and Mordred also "awoke".

"My wish is to draw the sword of choice and become the king."

"Oh, then..."

Mordred suddenly interrupted Morgan's temptation. She smiled softly and shook her head.

"But this seems wrong. I made a mistake in my dream. In the end, I just wanted to heal my father's loneliness at the beginning. I just wanted to pick up the things that that person gave up because he was a king."

I want to tell that person – don’t worry, you can smile too.

Mordred did not say this sentence because he knew that he who had made huge mistakes was not qualified to say this sentence.

"……I see."

Morgan nodded clearly, and when he raised his hand, a figure was caught in his hand.

"It seems that you have learned a lot after being summoned. You can come out so quickly. This guy must be helping you."

"What?! When did you..."

Mordred looked at Morgan's palm in shock. The figure on it was his master, Lion Jie Li.

"Ever since you were arrested yesterday, this guy has been hovering around, seemingly trying to find a way to rescue you. It's really ridiculous. As a magician, he wants to break through the guard of two servants, so in order to prevent him from letting go He lost his life, and I chose to 'protect' this guy into the 'court'."

The gentle smile on Morgan's face disappeared in an instant and returned to his cold look. He looked at Mordred with cold eyes, no emotion at all.

"It only took a few days to change your mind. From the perspective of a master, this guy is qualified. Then, choose! Fight for me? Or give up your master?"

Mordred fell silent. He wanted to seek his master's opinion, but the contract between the two had been broken at some point, so he could not use "Reading Words".

Mordred, who was silent with his head lowered, was not sure what to do when he suddenly saw the gesture on his master's hand.

That was the code they had agreed upon in advance. Mordred was slightly startled, and then smiled in his heart.

"okay, I get it!"

Hearing Mordred's response, Morgan showed an expression that he had expected.

She knew her child's character very well. Although she looked arrogant, he was actually a very emotional guy. This magician in her hand could help her get out of her psychological shadow within a few days. There must be a strong bond between the two. Therefore, she will never give up her master casually...

"I'm going to chop you!"

Mordred's roar interrupted Morgan's thinking, and faster than the sound was the sword in her hand.

The red thunder was released regardless of the cost, pushing the long sword to slash out at a speed that exceeded the visual limit.

A white wall of light tried to form on the surface of Morgan's body, and a water mirror expanded behind her, trying to teleport her away, but the speed was still too slow.

The heavy sword swung by Mordred slipped past his shoulder and tore a huge wound in Morgan's chest.

However, Morgan's counterattack came quickly, and a huge silver-white spear blasted Mordred away.

After suffering such a situation, Lion Jie Jieli, who was caught in her hand, felt that his hands and feet that had been imprisoned could finally move. Seizing this momentary opportunity, he suddenly raised his hand and held it. Morgan's arm.

"asshole!"

Morgan's expression suddenly changed, and he threw the lion Jie Jieli out of his hand, and at the same time gave him a silver-white spear to pierce his heart.

The teleportation of the water mirror was completed, and Morgan was teleported to a pre-set safe house outside Emiya's house.

The failure of this plan made her angry, but what made her even more angry was that she was actually tricked by an inconspicuous magician.

On her arm, there was what looked like a very shallow wound, and there was a dagger on the ground that looked like a toy.

Because of the timely protection of the wall of light, the dagger did not penetrate very deep. It only scratched a wound and was then blocked by the wall of light.

But Morgan's face was quite ugly. He decisively cut off his arm and kept applying a "coffin" to the broken arm to block the flow of blood.

Although it would take less than ten minutes for her to completely dissipate due to such a violent loss of magic power, the effect of this poison was enough to make her taste the ultimate pain before she died.

Because Morgan has recognized that the material of the dagger in the ground is the "Hydra poison" that once caused the ancient Greek hero Hercules to die of pain.

"Damn it!"

There is not much time left, and it is simply impossible to execute the plan again in the remaining ten minutes. In this way, Morgan's plan to make Artoria suffer again can be declared a failure.

"It seems you hit a wall there."

A voice came from behind, scaring Morgan to quickly summon a "tower" to surround his body.

Morgan was shocked, and quickly built a "courtyard" around her body, and a silver-white light wall "tower" also surrounded her.

Behind her, Zheng Shu opened the door at some point and stood at the door looking at her.

"It's you?"

Zheng Shu ignored Morgan, but carefully looked at the safe house and the large monitor behind Morgan. Judging from the picture above, it should be the display screen of the monitor.

"I see, did that guy Matou Kariya still choose to participate in this Holy Grail War?"

Zheng Shu nodded silently. He also knew the location of this safe house because it was the property of the Matou family. Coupled with the surveillance pictures in the room, he almost instantly guessed who the master of the other party was.

"Are you talking about my master? After that guy summoned me, he was controlled by my magic. Are you saying you are good friends?"

"A good friend? Not really, just a former collaborator. But I didn't expect that just ten years would be enough for a person to undergo such a big change. It's touching."

Zheng Shu shook his head, and suddenly he understood why the ancient gods regarded human beings with bright souls as treasures.

The human mind changes so fast. For many immortal species, in just the blink of an eye, they have become completely different people.

Matou Kariya, who once risked his life to save the one he cherished, has now become a person who lives for his own desires.

After sighing, Zheng Shu began to look directly at Morgan, his cold eyes filled with murderous intent.

"What a scary look, but there is only such a short time left before everyone disappears. Can't we sit down and have a good talk?"

Morgan was so frightened by Zheng Shu's momentum that he was trembling inside, but he was still not too worried.

She had used surveillance cameras to carefully observe Zheng Shu's fighting performance, and knew that although the opponent was very strong, he was actually a physical warrior, and Morgan's "Ting" was the most capable of restraining such an enemy.

No matter who you are, as long as you step into the range of the stop, you will be pulled into a different space by the stop. It is impossible to escape before completing the necessary conditions.

Coupled with the "tower" created to imitate the "anchor", after the "tower" is fully expanded, the surrounding space has been fixed.

Ordinary attacks are ineffective against her, and even attacks that exceed the threshold can be offset by the "tower" in a self-destructive manner.

The combination of the two gives Morgan a sufficient advantage when facing the strong men of the physical school.

Zheng Shu said nothing, but a magic light flashed in his eyes.

This is the magic he obtained from Asagami Fujino, and it can also be regarded as the best gain in this future trip, besides the method of resurrecting the gods.

It is not the "distortion" obtained from the Distortion Demonic Eye, but the magic obtained from Asakami Fujino's other magical eye, the Clairvoyance Demonic Eye: "clairvoyance".

Perspective + Instant Noodle Summon!

"Well!"

In just a moment, Morgan was horrified to find that her body suddenly expanded evenly. Before she could say anything else, her whole body exploded from the inside out, turning into a pool of blood mixed with the remains of instant noodles.

Looking at the blood that had begun to turn into spirits and dissipate, the traces of magic in Zheng Shu's eyes also faded away. This was the method he used when he met the first Deadpool, but it was only now that he was able to use it completely again.

Use clairvoyance magic to see all the gaps in the opponent's body, and then summon instant noodles in the gaps to fill the gaps in the opponent's alveoli, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and even muscle fibers and burst them.

Unless Zheng Shu's enemies could quickly digest the instant noodles that were suddenly summoned from their bodies, or were energy creatures without any specific cell structure in their bodies, it would be impossible for any ordinary carbon-based creature to be able to withstand this move.

After dealing with the last enemy and feeling the speed of his body dissipating, Zheng Shu did not continue to replenish instant noodles to extend his existence, but flashed to Wei Gong's house not far away.

At this time, the situation here seemed a bit strange. Medusa finally penetrated the "court" and ran out, but she stood there at a loss, while Artoria looked at the person kneeling on the ground in front of her. Mordred was at a loss.

She had also seen the changes in Mordred before. Of course, the most important thing was that at this moment when it was about to disappear, she was not willing to fight swords with her child again.

Mordred ignored everyone and just sat in a daze beside the body of Lion Jie Jieli.

Zheng Shu took a look and walked silently to the two of them. He actually saw what happened just now with perspective from a long distance. Although he couldn't hear the sound, he roughly understood what it was like.

"Um?!"

Sensing someone approaching, Mordred stared at Zheng Shu like an angry beast.

"Don't make trouble, everyone is about to disperse. If you spend your energy on this, I won't be able to treat him."

"Treat... cure?"

Mordred's common sense told her that the person in front of her was teasing her, but her intuition told her that the other person was not lying.

"He's already dead?!"

"It's just a mortal wound... get out of the way. If it were any later, this guy would really be dead."

"oh."

Mordred lowered his head and obediently moved away.

Zheng Shu stood next to Lion Jie Jie Li's body and just took a look. Then he casually moved, and a little bit of the revived divinity that had just recovered flowed out of his hand and "dropped" onto the body of Lion Jie Jie Li whose heart was penetrated.

Then a miracle began to happen, as if time was turned back, the fatal wound on Lion Jiejieli's body healed quickly, and with a violent gasp, Lion Jiejieli's lifeless body recovered again.

No longer paying attention to the various things between the few of them, Zheng Shu came to Medusa and touched her head.

Her eyes narrowed in comfort. Medusa also knew that this was the last moment. She didn't say anything more and just followed Zheng Shu downstairs.

Here, Matou Sakura and Asagami Fujino have been waiting anxiously. They have now understood what is happening now, and their eyes are full of tears.

Zheng Shu smiled and touched their heads, and then the four of them sat together and chatted about the past.

…

…

When Zheng Shu regained consciousness, he opened his eyes and saw the starry sky that he had not seen for a long time, as well as the nostalgic temples around him.

Taking a deep breath, feeling the strong magical atmosphere around him, he shook hands and felt the huge power in his body.

Zheng Shu knew clearly that he had returned to the age of gods.

"I hope those two little guys won't be too sad."

He sighed silently in his heart, and the tail that was pressed under his body exerted force, causing his body to stand up in a daze.

Looking at the horizon that was gradually lighting up in the distance, Zheng Shu showed a relieved smile after confirming the knowledge in his mind.
