Lancer: Cu Chulainn 2



Cu Chulainn grew up to be a strong man and went into an evil land called the Country of Shadows to satisfy the requirements to marry a particular woman.

Cu Chulainn overcame many difficulties and reached the Country of Shadows. He was well liked by the ruler of that country, the witch Scathach, and he trained under her and learned many sorceries and techniques.

He obtained the cursed lance Gae Bolg that later became the symbol of Cu Chulainn, and he left the Country of Shadows.

In the legend, it is said that Cu Chulainn was brave, compassionate, and a likeable young man.

Cu Chulainn mercilessly killed his enemies in the battlefield, but he respected faith, and was noble enough to never break a promise once made.

Celtic warriors had the custom of making an oath called a "geas", and those warriors who broke this geas were cursed.

Cu Chulainn, like his nickname, had a geas that said he must never eat a dog, and he faithfully tried not to break that promise.

This geas later became the cause of his death.

During a battle with an opposing country, to protect his weaker country of Ulster, Cu Chulainn made several geasa accepting even his own ruin in exchange for forcing the opposing country to make geasa unfavorable to them.

Some of the famous geasa Cu Chulainn made were "fighting just one warrior a day", promised with his rival Queen Maeve, and "one win, one loss" promised with his old friend Fergus.

Unlimited Blade Works Chapter 9: Player 2 Has Joined the Game

Let's try this again!



>I can pull out this "nail" in my right arm...!



OW OW GO FASTER OW



Dynamic entry!



Rider retreats immediately at this point. Sup Tohsaka!



FOCUS, SHIROU



Just saying, Rin!

If you decided not to fill me with magic bullets that would be super awesome.



Rin deres.

TO TOHSAKAHOUSE WE GO



Rin probably has the second sweetest pad in the game, after Ilya.

In we go!



MUTANT HEALING FACTOR ENGAGE



Yes, we'll go with the Saber Power theory for now. Not that it's as important on this route.



Oh right, this plotline still exists!

Shinji is bad.



It's teamup time!

This time because of Rider instead of Berserker.



Tsun tsun.



I love that first sentence there.

Exposiitiondump occurs!



I'm not sure that Suggestively means what you think it means, Shirou!



Oh right I should probably be getting home huh.

COME MAGIC ARCHER



Shirou and Archer share a special, intimate level of hatred.

TO SHIROUHOUSE



The walk home is very uncomfortable!



Archer chats for a while about how he can't ever accept Shirou as a magus because he's a pussyfooting suckface!

LET'S TALK ABOUT GRAILS



What a lofty guy!

Or maybe he knows that the Holy Grail is giant Cup O' Evil.



Heroes don't choose to seek the Grail! The people who admire them make the choice for them.

Huh.



And he's gone.

What a weirdo!



GREETINGS, MY HAREM

I hope Saber isn't upset that I was a huge dumbass again.



Saber's upset that I was a huge dumbass again.

HERE GOES NOTHING



But first, some reconnaissance!

Mitsuzuri isn't dead!

Shinji's still missing!

Let's go receive punishment!



Even Shirou seems to be tiring of all those training scenes, so he skips this one!

Just go back and read Fate again if you want more Saber Training Antics.



Saber supports an alliance!

Also Shirou not being a dick.



WELL

>I can't say for sure.



Aw, come on.

It's not like this is a brutal war of attrition where only one can remain standing.



To be continued
