My Upgrades Are Invincible - Chapter 142
-Quick little note- I am a hairs breadth away from throwing my pets through my window as my cat has turned off my computer by going behind its setup and decided the warm power converter was a perfect place to nap and in its violent dreams it managed to kick the cord out and made my computer die and lose this chapter when I was some 75% through it. Then my dog thought it would be the height of entertainment to knock over my Wi-Fi modem, and I live in a shitty apartment so let me tell you the pain of having the internet cord attached to the wall get pulled out and then have to unscrew the old breaking plastic electric cover with a butter knife as you attempt to reconnect the internet to the outside line for several hours…
With that bitching said, here’s the chapter that I had to write three times.
I quickly flew over to where the pillar of fire was after grabbing Olga an carrying her princess style as Nero sprinted after us. Then a bright blue light formed in front of the fire, and I calmed down knowing that Mash had unlocked the first form of her Noble Phantasm.
When we arrived at the sight of where Cu obviously attacked the Chaldean master in the name of ‘training’ Mash in a trial by fire method and obviously put Fujimaru’s life at risk in order to get Mash to unleash her Noble Phantasm at the fear of her master being made into charcoal.
Just as I landed and put Olga on her feet and was going to question the situation and whether I needed to punt Cu back into the metaphorical doghouse I looked around and saw Mash and Fujimaru seemed to be in good condition and I didnt seem to need to do anything as Tamamo was being… very through in her physical chastisement with Cú Chulainn.
I stared with a deadpan expression as Tamamo showed off her specialty in punishing men as she snuck up and shot a brutal kick upwards and the impact of her shin into Cú’s groin literally lifted him off the ground and a full meter in the air as Cú Chulainn folded over like a shrimp.
“Damn… You knew I needed to give her the motivation you shitty cat-fox.” Cu said as he landed and impressively he didnt collapse to the ground in tears though I saw his knees shake a bit as he leaned on his staff and looked ready to shoot a few fireballs at the woman who just assaulted him.
But he took a deep breath, and I could see his thought process as he contemplated the fact that he used a possibly fatal attack on the master of a Berserker and was lucky she didnt attempt to directly take his head off,
“Fucking can’t win with women, no matter what I do ugh…” Cu groaned as he walked a bit away from Tamamo who was being corralled back by Fujimaru.
Honestly Cu should just be a monk as all the women he was involved in hated his guts and attempted to kill him or fucked with him except for Scáthach but I could be wrong about her as she certainly attempted to kill him at times with his training and the initiation into her training.
“Mash do you have a handle on your Noble Phantasm?” I asked as this whole comedy skit albeit entertaining, we needed to get going to defeat Artoria Alter.
“Yes Jake!” She said brisky seeing how strict I was looking.
“Alright good… Now we need to get going as we cannot stay here for long as we don’t know if other threats other than the Archer and Saber Servant are around.” I ordered and Olga nodded to my analysis to the situation
“Romani, has sent a message stating that the machines the surviving Chaldean crew has managed to salvage has locked the signal from the grail to be just past the Fuyuki Temple.” Olga said and broadcasted a holographic message saying just that though I wonder why Romani couldn’t just video call us as he was so found of doing in the game.
Could be some surviving wards the founding families that hosted the Grail had here in Fuyuki though as they with the help of Zeltretch needed to block out the outer god nonsense like Giles-Blue Beard summoned.
And look at here in the FGO timeline without Zeltretch acting as a deterrent you got the whole Lost Belt and other Foreigner class servant causing trouble everywhere…
“Alright let’s get going to the Grail and keep an eye out for Archer.” I said and we took a diamond shaped formation as we made our way to where the temple was located.
–
A while later after having Mash give Fujimaru a piggyback ride and I did the same for Olga we made great time dashing across the city until we crossed over the destroyed remains of the temple and let down the ‘deadweights.’
I would honestly give Fujimaru one of the magic brooms I fused and fixed from Harry Potter, but this world has plenty of people who would love to simply shoot her out of the air as she would be too easy of a target, no matter which Singularity. So that would be a bad idea in every sense of the word.
As we were walking my instincts kicked in and I saw out of the corner of my eye a silver glint racing towards us accompanied by the sound of a loud sharp noise as Emiya shot a sword twisted into the shape of an arrow at us at high speeds.
My sword flashed into my hand in mid motion and I sent powerful wave of flames at Emiya’s location obscuring our view of one another and allowing us to get Olga and Fujimaru behind Mash.
My flames collided with the red glowing sword he shot at us and exploded violently creating a dense smoke screen that took a couple seconds to fade away. Once the smoke faded away, I looked at the grey skinned Archer Servant as he stared back at me, with another sword cocked in his bow’s strings.
I then mentally snorted and pointed at Emiya. “You Lolicon! Illya needed you in the kitchen not being a useless hero, you Gary Stu bitch!” Everyone froze staring at me incredulously, but I took that moment where Emiya had the equivalent of the Blue Screen of Death and space skipped in front of him with my sword mid swing as despite his great reaction speed and literally countless more combat experience.
A single fuck up in high ended combat can choose the winner instantly.
“Aghhh!” Emiya groaned and snarled as my sword easily took off his arm as he franticly attempted to use his bow to block my attack but bows inherently are not good shields as my sword destroyed his projected bow taking his right arm in the process and my sword made a large gouge across his armor and giving him enough time to back pedal as I got my bearings from my space skip.
