-896- [ Curruid Coinchenn ]

"Oooohhhhhhh!"

On the blazing battlefield, Cú Chulainn roared loudly, erupting with an astonishing ominous magical energy that covered his entire body, creating a crimson aura.

Within that aura, Cú Chulainn's entire body underwent a transformation.

Specifically, he appeared as a monstrous entity with thorn-like protrusions all over, covered by scale-like armor, and his head replaced by a beast-like skull. His hands turned into sharp claws, completely altering his appearance.

In this state, Cú Chulainn's magical energy surged like a hurricane, sweeping across the entire battlefield.

"What...!?"

Mash was greatly surprised.

"That is...!?"

Scáthach was equally astonished.

Rozen, with contracted pupils, expressed profound amazement.

"What's going on?"

Did Cú Chulainn transform into a monster?

"Could it be the influence of absorbing the Holy Grail?"

Rozen speculated.

However, this idea was immediately refuted by Scáthach.

"No, that's not the power brought by the Holy Grail."

While continuing to evade incoming dragon breath, Scáthach focused on the transformed Cú Chulainn with a serious expression.

"That is the power of the demonic spear."

Scáthach stated firmly.

"The spear?"

Rozen was initially puzzled but quickly understood.

It was said that, unlike the ancient plant material used for Scáthach's old-version spear, Cú Chulainn's demonic spear was crafted from a different substance.

Scáthach's spear was made from an ancient plant from a distant era, but Cú Chulainn's demonic spear was different.

It is a magical spear made from the bones of a sea creature in the crimson sea, naturally carrying a fierce aura and cursed power.

Now, if you carefully examine the bone armor covering Cú Chulainn's body, it's identical to the legendary sea creature.

Furthermore, as he puts on this armor, Cú Chulainn's spear disappears, replaced by the release of the same ominous magic and crimson flames as the magical spear.

What does this indicate?

"He completely unleashes the magical spear. As a result, does he awaken the power of the legendary sea creature?" Rozen immediately revealed this truth.

Indeed.

In his Berserker class manifestation, Cú Chulainn not only can use the magical spear he was proud of in life but also gains a Noble Phantasm.

This Noble Phantasm allows him to temporarily materialize the power of the legendary sea creature from the red sea, forming an exoskeleton that wraps around him like armor.

Once activated, Cú Chulainn loses his magical spear and cannot exhibit the terrifying power of a one-hit kill.

However, as a trade-off for sacrificing the magical spear, he gains the power of the sea creature.

Not only does his endurance increase to an exceptional level, but even his strength parameter reaches Ex rank.

This is the A-rank anti-personnel Noble Phantasm cherished by the Mad King Cú Chulainn.

"〈Curruid Coinchenn〉!"

The Mad King Cú Chulainn unleashed this Noble Phantasm, transforming himself into the monster of the crimson sea.

Immediately...

"Boom!"

With a resounding burst of energy, Cú Chulainn shattered the ground beneath his feet. With a terrifying sonic boom, like a red flash, a ominous magical spear-like entity instantly surged towards Rozen and Mash.

"...!"

"...!"

Both Rozen and Mash's expressions changed simultaneously as they watched Cú Chulainn, who had suddenly appeared before them in an instant, their eyes filled with astonishment.

Cú Chulainn's speed has reached an extreme level.

"Die!"

In the next instant, Cú Chulainn's deep voice resonated from his helmet, and his clawed hands, like the cursed magical spear itself, suddenly thrust forward.

His speed broke the sound barrier in an instant.

"Senpai!"

Mash tried to raise her shield for defense, but it was already too late.

"Roar!!"

Hokuto, who carried Rozen and Mash on his back, reacted only at this moment, but it was too late.

The only one who could clearly perceive Cú Chulainn's speed and attack was Rozen, thanks to his "Mind's Eye" skill.

However, even if he could perceive it, Rozen's body couldn't keep up with Cú Chulainn's speed, making evasion impossible.

In this critical moment...

"Kinu!"

Rozen could only pray for the protection of the deity that had always guarded him.

"Woosh!"

Upon hearing Rozen's prayer, his elegant black coat immediately responded. With a howl, the coat fluttered open like a cape, standing in front of Rozen and Mash.

"Clang!"

Cú Chulainn's sharp claws landed heavily on the raised coat, producing a crisp clash, causing sparks and feathers to scatter wildly.

The shockwave raged like a hurricane.

Under the strength of the Herculean level of strength, even the coat transformed by Kinu, appeared on the verge of collapse, showering sparks and feathers.

This was something that had never happened before.

However, at this moment, under Cú Chulainn's astonishing power, even the transformed coat of Kinu, a deity, seemed to be barely holding on.

Being able to make the deity Kinu resist so strenuously undoubtedly astonished Rozen.

Although due to not providing magical power at full strength, Kinu's power was not fully unleashed.

Still, no matter how you looked at it, it was a tool formed by the incarnation of a deity.

The fact that Cú Chulainn could make Kinu appear so turbulent with one blow indicated just how strong he was at this moment.

This was definitely not as simple as awakening the power of the legendary sea creature.

In addition to the power of the sea creature, Cú Chulainn was also using another kind of power.

"The Holy Grail...!"

Yes.

The Holy Grail, absorbed into Cú Chulainn's body, was also providing him with power, enhancing his strength and continuously supplying magical energy, making him extraordinarily powerful.

Cú Chulainn at this moment is undoubtedly approaching the pinnacle of strategic class, almost exceeding the power levels Rozen had set.

"Hmm...!"

Just as if to confirm Rozen's thoughts, Cú Chulainn swung his claws again, disturbing the air, creating shockwaves.

Like the scythe of the Grim Reaper, it ruthlessly struck the coat of Kinu, unleashing astonishing power.

"Clang!"

The second clash sounded.

However, this time, the coat of Kinu, acting as a cape to cover Rozen and Mash, was like a cannonball, heavily knocked away.

At first glance, it looked like a black meteorite was being shot out. While Rozen and Mash, shielded by the transformed coat, did not suffer the impact, they still followed the cloak into the ground below, shattering and burying the area.

For a moment, cracks in the ground proliferated, and debris and gravel flew everywhere, filling the air with dust.

"Roar!!!"

Watching Cú Chulainn blast Rozen and Mash away before his eyes, Hokuto roared in anger, opening his huge mouth and directly swallowing Cú Chulainn, who was hovering in front of him.

The next moment...

"Splurt!"

Amidst the tearing sound, an evil and ominous red figure pierced through Hokuto's abdomen, creating a hole in Hokuto's belly, scattering golden particles.

"Bztt...!"

Hokuto's entire body suddenly became like static noise, becoming blurred.

This phenomenon, a cracked phenomenon, only appears when a shikigami undergoes a massive impact.

"Roar!"

Hokuto also let out a painful howl.

At this moment, Cú Chulainn had already flipped in the air and arrived above Hokuto. He swung down a powerful kick towards the fallen Hokuto.

"Boom!"

With a muffled impact, Hokuto's enormous body was directly kicked by Cú Chulainn, crashing onto the ground.

The ground trembled suddenly.
