Crossover Anime: Offering Myself as a Sacrifice to the Sword? I Choose to Be the Great Demon King

Page 7

The original owner of this mansion was apparently a magician, but unfortunately, he couldn't stop the fire from that day.

Mo Li entered the magic workshop. Because she was unfamiliar with magic, she didn't dare to move around. She found a bed and slowly lay down.

When Mo Li woke up again, countless days and nights had passed.

The lights in the magic workshop had long been turned off, and Mo Li could see nothing in complete darkness.

Based on his memories, Mo Li found his way out of the magic workshop and left the house.

The outside world had long since turned into a sea of ​​fire, and skeleton soldiers were roaming around.

"How long have I been asleep? I've changed so much!"

Mo Li looked at the dilapidated streets and the buildings on the verge of collapse, even though she had only taken a nap.

Before Mo Li could react, a roar came from afar, interrupting Mo Li's thoughts.

"Saber has already made her move? Oh no, I wonder if Cú Chulainn is still around?"

Mo Li recalled his promise to Cú Chulainn and hurried towards the dock.

However, the docks were now occupied by skeleton soldiers. After Mo Li cleared a space, there was no sign of any living people, let alone any followers.

However, the sharp-eyed Mo Li still noticed some clues: there was a ? mark on the cargo box not far away.

Runes...it seems Cú Chulainn was here before, but then left.

Mo Li stepped forward and stroked the symbols on the cargo box, hoping to glean some clues from them.

The moment the hand touched it, the rune suddenly emitted a white light.

This flash of light immediately attracted a large number of skeleton soldiers. Seeing that things were not going well, Mo Li quickly took out his Fury and fought against them.

Meanwhile, Caster, who was not far away, sensed the unusual movement of his runes. A glint of light flashed in his eyes. After repelling the skeleton soldiers in front of him, he ran towards the dock.

"So, Saber's Master has finally appeared!"

At this moment, Mo Li was unaware that Cú Chulainn was on his way and was still excitedly farming Demon King Points.

Skeleton soldiers like these have low attack power and almost no defense, yet they appear in large numbers, making them excellent sources of Demon King Points. Mo Li can easily gain dozens of Demon King Points with a single slash.

I easily earned back the 200 points from the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill, and I'm even just a few points away from 1000.

Just as Mo Li was about to reach 1000 Demon King Points, several fireballs interrupted his spellcasting, shattering all the skeleton soldiers around him, leaving none alive.

This infuriated Mo Li. Who was this guy who dared to steal the Demon King's head? Did he have a death wish?

Mo Li looked up and saw Cú Chulainn casually draw a few runes in the air, which turned into fireballs and rushed towards the skeleton soldiers beside Mo Li.

Upon seeing this scene, Mo Li couldn't help but blurt out:

"Stop killing! Stop killing 893 and 964! Leave some for me, you bastard!" 460

"What are you talking about, you idiot? I'm saving you!"

Cú Chulainn had no idea of ​​the existence of the Demon King's Point, and when Mo Li shouted at him like that, he was immediately enraged.

I kindly came to save you, and this is how you repay me? What do you mean by leaving you some?

Mo Li ignored Cú Chulainn and destroyed all the remaining skeletons, but unfortunately, the Demon King's points were stuck at 999, just one skeleton away.

Cú Chulainn approached Moli and tapped the ground with his staff, trying to wake him up.

"Hey, aren't you going to thank your savior?"

"Ugh, you jerk! We were so close! Couldn't you have come a little later?"

"Huh? What kind of attitude is that? I just saved you!"

Mo Li was clearly unable to explain the Demon King's Point to Cú Chulainn, and his complicated feelings made him look rather unpleasant.

Cú Chulainn was somewhat puzzled. Why was this person so strange, looking so mournful even after being rescued?

"Fine, I won't argue with you. Tell me, do you know something?"

Mo Li did not answer Cú Chulainn's question, and continued to stare blankly at the 999 points in front of him.

Just then, a clattering sound came from not far away. Mo Li knew that it was the sound of skeleton soldiers walking.

Seeing that the Demon King was approaching, Mo Li's expression immediately returned, and he ran towards the direction of the skeleton soldiers.

But Cú Chulainn thought differently. While skeletons were easy to deal with, there were too many of them, and it was not advisable to fight them now. He should take this guy back to the front lines first.

With that thought in mind, Cú Chulainn grabbed the running Mori, leaped into the air, and left the dock.

Mo Li watched helplessly as the Demon King Points, which were almost within her grasp, slipped through her fingers once again.

"Let me go, you bastard, my lovely skeleton soldier, let me down!"

"Are you out of your mind? How could you call those things cute? Why would someone like you be allowed to survive when the world is destroyed?!"

"No, my lovely skeleton soldiers!"

Mo Li's voice faded into the distance, and Cú Chulainn began to suspect that the guy's brain had been damaged by the destruction of the world.

Cú Chulainn brought Moli to a place brimming with magic. Taking advantage of his Caster class, Cú Chulainn set up a base there that would remain undetected by monsters.

"Now, you better explain to me what exactly happened."

Chapter 11 Temporary Contract, Archer's Attack

"Hey, hey, kid, speak up, Saber's Master, do you know something?"

Faced with Cú Chulainn's questioning, Mo Li also came to her senses for a moment and looked at him with resentment.

But considering that he would have to fight alongside this guy for a while, Mo Li could only say seriously:

"To be honest, I don't really understand either, but the Holy Grail War is far from over!"

"Huh? You don't understand either? Didn't you order Saber to attack us?!"

Mo Li gave a wry smile, showed Cú Chulainn the Command Seal he had already used, and said dejectedly:

“Command Spells are no longer effective against Saber. I almost died at her hands a few days ago.”

"What do you mean by saying the Holy Grail War isn't over yet? Doesn't Saber already possess the Holy Grail?"

"Are you an idiot? If you had obtained the Holy Grail through normal combat, you would have been back in Valhalla long ago."

"You mean someone is plotting all of this in secret!"

"You're not completely stupid after all. You're saying Saber has already contacted you?"

Mo Li didn't know how long she had slept, but from Cú Chulainn's words, she knew that Artoria had already begun to act, and perhaps other Servants had also fallen victim to her schemes.

Upon hearing this, Cú Chulainn's eyes were filled with lingering fear, for the situation at the time was one of near-death experiences.

However, it seems that now only he and Mo Li are left in this world, so telling him won't hurt.

“Saber came with Archer. If I hadn’t run fast… cough cough, if I hadn’t been agile, I probably would have been defeated by them.”

"They've already defeated Archer? Damn it, I wonder when the Chaldea people will arrive!"

"Chaldea, kid, is there some secret you haven't told me yet?"

Cú Chulainn could always find key words in Mo Li's words, as if the changes in this world were somehow related to Chaldea, and he stared intently at Mo Li.

Looking at Cú Chulainn's cautious gaze, Mo Li explained:

“I don’t know anything about that place, but I can tell you that only they can resolve this issue.”

"So we just have to wait for them to come? Damn it, can't we do anything about it?"

"Of course, Caster, would you like to form a temporary contract with me? You're using your own magic right now, aren't you?"

"Tch, you figured it out. Not bad. If it weren't for this spiritual vein formation, I would have disappeared long ago."

Even Cú Chulainn had to admit that without his Master's magical energy supply, he was now incredibly weak.

A flicker of gratitude crossed Cú Chulainn's mind as he faced Mo Li's invitation.

"Well, although I don't really like you, I have no other choice now, so I'll form a temporary contract with you, Master!"

A flash of light appeared, and Mo Li sensed that Cú Chulainn was connected to the Demon Seed.

Mo Li chuckled to himself. Saving the world? That's not something a demon king should do.

He just wanted to earn more Demon King Points. With Cú Chulainn's help, those Shadow Servants would probably be able to provide Mo Li with a large number of Demon King Points.

As for whether they will cooperate with Chaldea, that depends on whether they are capable of defeating Saber.

Ultimately, Mo Li's purpose in coming to this world was to subdue his followers; as for saving the world, Mo Li expressed absolutely no interest in it.

Whom one cooperates with depends entirely on whether it aligns with Mori's interests; this applies to Cú Chulainn as well as Chaldea.

"Master, what should we do next?"

"Hunt down other Servants to reduce the enemy's combat strength!"

"Oh, that's exactly what I was thinking. It's just a pity I'm not Lancer, so we can't have a real fight."

Cú Chulainn was very satisfied with Moli's suggestion. He was originally a Celtic warrior, known as Cú Chulainn's Hound, and his wild nature naturally gave him a unique yearning for battle.

Meanwhile, Mo Li was also communicating with the system.

"System, can I obtain Demon King Points for the monster Cu Chulainn killed?!"

"No, only killings by family members can be counted as killings by the host; killings by others cannot be counted."

The idea of ​​inviting Cú Chulainn to work for them fell through, so it seems they'll have to resort to underhanded tactics.

Mo Li made up his mind to just deliver the final blow, since the kill would count as his own. As for the early battles, he would leave it to Cú Chulainn. It wasn't a bad deal.

Just as the two were plotting their own schemes, a red light shot towards Cú Chulainn's position.

Mo Li and Cú Chulainn quickly jumped away, dodging the attack, and looked at the person who had come.

"There are still humans alive? Oh, I see. You must be Saber's Master!"

"Heh, who do we have here, Archer? What, looking for death again?"

When Cú Chulainn saw that the visitor was the Heroic Spirit Emiya, the two already disliked each other, and Emiya's sneak attack only fueled Cú Chulainn's rage.

Emiya doesn't seem interested in Cú Chulainn, but rather in Mo Li.

"I'm very curious, how did you escape the curse of the karmic fire, and how did you manage to injure Saber?"

"No comment. Since you're here, you might as well stay, Archer!"

"It seems you still have many secrets you haven't told me. But never mind, prepare for battle, Master!"

Cú Chulainn brandished his staff a few times, seemingly trying to use it as a spear.

Meanwhile, the Heroic Spirit Emiya projects Gan Jiang and Mo Xie, also wanting to engage Cú Chulainn in close combat.

Only Mo Li, standing to the side, was speechless. "At least use weapons that belong to your own class! A mage acting as a spearman, an archer playing melee combat—this is so FATE!"

The two clashed in close combat, and after several rounds, neither could gain the upper hand, but overall, Cú Chulainn was slightly inferior.

After all, it wasn't the Lancer I was familiar with; its melee attributes like strength, durability, and agility weren't as high as Archer's.

"Big Dog, you're Caster! Use runes on me, you bastard!"

"Shut up! Who's the big dog? You jerk!"

Although Cú Chulainn said that, his hands were not idle. He drew runes in the air, which transformed into several fireballs and shot them toward the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

With his high agility, the Heroic Spirit Emiya quickly dodged and took advantage of the opening after Cú Chulainn finished his attack to quickly close in and launch a sneak attack.

Cú Chulainn was prepared to be injured, but in the next moment, Mo Li unleashed a second burst of bloodlust, using Rage to block Cú Chulainn's path and knock Emiya back.

"Oh? No wonder Saber warned me to be careful. I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"

"Stop talking nonsense, Caster, assist me."

With his golden eyes gleaming, Mo Li swiftly advanced and engaged the Heroic Spirit Emiya in battle.

It's not that Mo Li insists on saving Cú Chulainn, but Cú Chulainn is still very useful to him right now, and if he gets injured, it will be more difficult to deal with other Servants in the future.

Cú Chulainn frowned, but the situation was urgent and he couldn't worry about anything else. He stared intently at the gap in the two's battle, ready to attack the Heroic Spirit Emiya at any moment.

However, the Heroic Spirit Emiya clearly underestimated Mo Li's combat strength and was at a disadvantage in close combat.

With Cú Chulainn watching him intently from the side, Emiya already had a plan to retreat.

Mo Li was not about to give in, and unleashed a third burst of blood, launching a storm of attacks at the Heroic Spirit Emiya.

Caught off guard, the Heroic Spirit Emiya was struck in the chest by Mo Li's furious attack. At that moment, Mo Li suddenly roared:
