Fate/Type: I Am the Assassin!

"Go!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

Numerous Noble Phantasms launched toward Alcides, instantly filling the sky with golden light.

Alcides frowned at Mo Shuying's move and once again raised his hand, firing an arrow that shattered several Noble Phantasms before dissipating.

But the next second, Alcides's heart tightened, and he instinctively brought his massive wooden longbow down to block!

*"Thwack!"*

A fist slammed heavily into the giant bow. The terrifying force made Alcides frown, somewhat surprised by Mo Shuying's strength.

Mo Shuying had used Flash to get there, but his punch was blocked. The opponent's Mind's Eye skill is too broken; there's no way to sneak attack. If I can't sneak attack, then I'll confront him head-on!

"Baji! Please, instruct me!"

At this moment, Mo Shuying's expression was calm, his tone peaceful. As he breathed, thick Internal Energy circulated, fully activating his physical body!

*"Thwack!"*

Another close-range punch. Alcides raised his hand to block, catching the punch with his palm. He tried to clench his fingers to grab Mo Shuying's fist, but Mo Shuying's hand retracted like lightning. His right leg kicked at the back of Alcides's right knee, causing Alcides to lean forward. The knee of his other leg was already coming straight at him!

*"Thwack!!"*

Although Alcides ultimately blocked the knee strike with his arm, the two-meter-tall Alcides was still sent flying backward by Mo Shuying's impact.

Mo Shuying didn't give Alcides a chance to catch his breath, following up with a quick step! He grabbed Alcides's ankle and slammed him down!

*"Thud!"*

Water splashed everywhere. Don't think that hitting water won't hurt or cause injury—that's because your "force" isn't strong enough yet!

*"Boom!"*

The impact created a large wave. Mo Shuying pulled again, pressing himself tightly against Alcides's body. In an instant, fists, elbows, knees, shoulders, legs—anything he could use—rained down mercilessly!

Alcides, who moments ago had completely dominated, was now utterly suppressed.

"You!"

Alcides tried to counterattack, but before he could finish a complete sentence, Mo Shuying grabbed his long hair and slammed him again!

Everyone in Chaldea, except Li Shuwen, was stunned. They couldn't believe what they were seeing. In terms of stats, legends, and skills, Alcides, with his true Mind's Eye skill, should be stronger. But why?

Li Shuwen stood in front of the screen, a relieved smile on his face. He thought to himself, I truly took on a good disciple. With this disciple, Baji can be passed down for generations.

"Kid, you're fighting well, but some of your movements are still too stiff. Don't be constrained by form. What you need to master is the technique of exerting force, integrating it into every movement. This isn't something you can learn in a short time, but this move, you can! Listen! Foot! Waist! Shoulder! Concentrated force overlay! I've told you about this move! Use it boldly!"

Li Shuwen taught remotely, and Mo Shuying listened to these teachings, internalizing them. The movements of his hands began to change, yet they gave off a more agile and fluid impression.

A punch landed on Alcides's waist. Alcides twisted his body, delivering a whip kick that hit nothing. Mo Shuying squatted and rose, moving to Alcides's side. Alcides's ears were filled with the explosive cracking of Mo Shuying's joints throughout his body! It was as if numerous engines were furiously compressing cylinders within Mo Shuying! A fierce surge of energy erupted!

"Roar! Fierce Tiger Hard Mountain Climb!!"

Mo Shuying's entire Internal Energy converged into a single impact! An incredibly powerful, mountain-splitting blow. This impact! It would surely cause irreversible damage to Alcides!

Alcides understood this as well. In the critical moment, he chose to defend!

"Whoosh!"

The lion hide tied around Alcides's waist suddenly unfurled! The Ark of the Covenant, wrapped inside, fell towards the sea. The lion hide, as if alive, roared as it enveloped Alcides's back. The next second!

*"Boom!"*

The shocking explosion even generated a shockwave that pushed away the surrounding seawater.

Alcides shot out like a torpedo, skimming across the surface of the sea, while Mo Shuying, clutching his fractured shoulder, wore a serious expression.

That last hit didn't deal any damage. The defense of that lion hide was quite astonishing, especially since it was a Noble Phantasm capable of even wrapping the Ark of the Covenant.

And then there was the Ark of the Covenant. It was a wooden box, floating on the sea, but who would dare to retrieve it?

Mo Shuying certainly wouldn't. He looked back at the Golden Hind and saw that their battle was already resolved. Hector had been cleaved by the Minotaur's axe, turning into golden light and disappearing in the air.

Ophiuchus's combat strength was never strong, and he had been overwhelmed by the encirclement long ago. This meant that all enemy Servants, except Alcides, had been eliminated.

Mo Shuying turned back and shouted towards the Golden Hind.

"David! Come retrieve the Ark of the Covenant!"

Mo Shuying released his hand from his shoulder. This was his first time using Fierce Tiger Hard Mountain Climb, and he hadn't fully dissipated the force, so some damage bounced back.

Newton's third law applied; there was nothing he could do. He just needed more practice in the future.

David on the ship only reacted when he heard Mo Shuying's shout. The Ark of the Covenant hasn't been retrieved yet!

So the Golden Hind quickly sailed over. David grabbed a rope and jumped down, retrieved the Ark of the Covenant, and was then pulled back onto the ship.

Mo Shuying handed the Holy Grail to Mash, then asked Dr. Roman.

"Roman, the Holy Grail has been retrieved. Has this Singularity recovered?"

Mo Shuying quickly received a reply.

"It's recovering, but very slowly! It seems some power is preventing the Singularity's recovery—it must be Alcides."

Although the Singularity would eventually recover this way, it would take a long time. Leaving Alcides unchecked could lead to further trouble.

"Alcides is now half-Heroic Spirit and half-human, able to absorb Mana and exist without a Master. If we don't do anything, Drake and her crew will surely be in danger after you leave."

Even after a Singularity's history is restored, some things, like death, cannot be undone.

If Mo Shuying and his group left now, and Alcides went on a rampage afterward, Drake and her crew would still die.

This was not the outcome Mo Shuying, or rather, the people of Chaldea, wanted to see.

"How about this: the Holy Grail is also very important, so Mash and Fujimaru Ritsuka should go back first. Gilles and I will deal with Alcides before returning."

After this battle, Mo Shuying felt he should still be able to handle Alcides, and with Child Gil, it wouldn't be a big problem.

They fought through it even without preparation this time; with a little more preparation, it should be fine.

"How can you say that! No, we won't leave you two behind."

Fujimaru Ritsuka immediately spoke up, looking at Mo Shuying with determined eyes.

Mash, standing nearby, nodded, agreeing with Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"While saying this might hurt your pride, you wouldn't be much help against Alcides. If he targeted you, protecting you would be very difficult."

"In short... we'd be a burden, wouldn't we?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka's eyes dimmed slightly. Mo Shuying opened his mouth but had nothing to refute.

"Alright, then we'll head back first. Mr. Mo, please take care."

Seeing Mo Shuying's lack of reaction, Fujimaru Ritsuka took a deep breath and said.

Mash, beside them, didn't dare to speak, given the strange atmosphere.

Finally, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mash, taking the Holy Grail, returned to Chaldea first.
