Chapter 186 Persuasion

"Ring ring!"

Without hesitation, Rider unleashed her Noble Phantasm, "Rings of the Hero." This Noble Phantasm is essentially a pair of extremely precious reins and whips, capable of dramatically enhancing the abilities of summoned mythical creatures. Her mythical creature was a winged, silver-white Pegasus, beautiful and elegant in form. This was Pegasus, one of the most well-known fantastical creatures in Greek mythology.

The reason why Rider Medusa was able to descend in the Rider class is entirely due to the legend of Pegasus, the celestial horse. Her fate was also quite tragic. Although her fame even surpasses that of King Arthur and Hercules, since most of her fame comes from the deeds of the monster Gorgon, in order to allow her to descend in human form, she had to be forcibly given the Rider class and paired with Pegasus. If Matou Sakura had summoned the monster Gorgon, it would have been an even more difficult existence to deal with than Hercules, after all, it is a true fallen god monster.

Pegasus was actually a descendant of Medusa and Poseidon. After Perseus killed Medusa, Pegasus and his giant brother Chrysaor were born from the blood that gushed from Medusa's severed neck.

Pegasus was the guardian companion of the Muses, the goddess of art and literature. He helped the Greek hero Bellerophon defeat the monster Chimera. In the end, Zeus promoted him to the constellation Pegasus. The invincible hero is the Saint of this constellation. In terms of origin, Hercules has a close relationship with Pegasus and Rider Medusa.

Hercules' mother, Alcmene, was the granddaughter of Perseus, the son of Zeus who transformed into the constellation Perseus after slaying Medusa. Therefore, Alcmene can be considered Zeus' great-granddaughter, a relationship that connects Hercules with Pegasus and Rider Medusa.

Zeus then seduced his great-granddaughter, resulting in the birth of Hercules. This led Hercules to be able to call Zeus both "father" and "great-grandfather," a truly classic Greek myth where everyone schemes against each other and gets involved with each other if they like each other.

One of Hercules' twelve trials was to bring back a herd of brownish-red bulls for King Eurystheus. The herd was owned by Geryon, a giant with three heads and six arms, who was the son of Chrysaor and the grandson of Rider Medusa.

From this perspective, Rider Medusa had every reason to take action against Hercules, after all, Hercules' ancestor Perseus had killed Medusa, and Hercules had killed her grandson, a deep-seated hatred that spanned generations.

Furthermore, Rider Medusa's attitude towards Matou Shinji is also related to Perseus. Matou Shinji's appearance is extremely similar to Perseus, almost identical except for his hair color. It is not surprising that Medusa does not have a good attitude towards Matou Shinji, after all, his appearance reminds her of Perseus, who killed her.

Rider Medusa leaped onto Pegasus, harnessed it, and brandished her whip. Powered by the newfound strength, Pegasus immediately took flight, rearing up and charging towards Lin Yu and his companions. This was a horse with an A+ rank anti-army Noble Phantasm, powerful enough to withstand Saber's Excalibur.

Lin Yu reacted before Saber could react. After using the rule card, a chair appeared out of thin air in his hand, which he threw out and it collided with Rider's Pegasus.

"boom!!!"

The seemingly ordinary chair collided head-on with Rider Medusa, who was riding Pegasus. Rider's magical energy fluctuations were extremely powerful, but they were all blocked by the chair in front of her. However, the aftershocks made Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya lose their footing and were pushed back several steps, but they disappeared after reaching Lin Yu.

As for Shinji Matou's "stone statue" version, he was blown to the ground by the shockwave and rolled a long distance. It seems that some stone fragments were knocked off his lower body.

Emiya Shirou (?Д?)

Their gaze wasn't fixed on the shattered stones, but on the chair that had blocked the attack. It didn't look like an ordinary chair at all. Could it be that the Noble Phantasm was deliberately made in the shape of a chair?

"Ring ring~"

Rider Medusa realized that her powerful attack had been blocked by a chair, so she immediately retreated to look for an opportunity, while the chair turned to ashes and disappeared into the air.

"Rider, we're on Sakura's side. Aren't you afraid Sakura will blame you for attacking us like this?"

"Besides, you don't want Sakura to continue suffering, right? After all, your existence only causes Sakura pain. Wouldn't it be better to change Masters and let Sakura be relieved? Or do you not care about Sakura at all?"

Lin Yu's words struck a chord with Rider Medusa, and she was indeed hesitant because of the last sentence.

"You are indeed strong, I can't beat you."

The taciturn Rider Medusa, who always kept everything to herself, finally spoke again. She had come to terms with reality. She had even used Pegasus, but the effect was not ideal. Lin Yu's words had almost completely robbed her of the will to fight. She knew clearly that once she started fighting, Matou Sakura would suffer from the bites of the Crest Worms inside her. Therefore, she believed that this unnecessary battle should be stopped.

"Have you accepted reality? If you don't resist, Caster has the ability to help Matou Sakura adjust her physical condition~"

Lin Yu smiled and said to Rider Medusa. Upon hearing this, Caster Medea's lips twitched involuntarily, feeling like she was being used as a free tool.

She couldn't understand why Archer knew her so well, trusted her so much, and could be so certain that she could do that without even asking her.

Does he not care about the outcome and is he just deceiving Rider? Does he actually have no intention of helping?

"is this real?"

Rider Medusa was tempted. If it could really help Matou Sakura, she was even willing to change her Master and obey her commands.

"Of course, the methods of the magicians of the Age of Gods are far beyond those of modern magicians. She can even make her own miniature Holy Grails, and dealing with those filthy and disgusting insects is a piece of cake for her."

Lin Yu made a welcoming gesture, welcoming everyone to this happy and harmonious family.

C's Mom (?Д?)

Lin Yu's answer startled her, as she hadn't expected him to know about her making the Lesser Grail, which left her feeling confused.

Since Archer knew she could create the Lesser Grail, why did he still go looking for trouble with Hercules?
