A draconic roar instilled itself into the Reality Marble as Rayquaza took shape, a hideous yellowness taking root over its magnificent green scales.
With a massive, hissing sound, it fired a Hyper Beam, a golden-black ray burning across the atmosphere.
It hit Berserker squarely on its chest and dragged it across the bloody ocean.
Boooooooooooom!
My House, My Rules' range still wasn't enough to cover such a big space.
However, Kai didn't need to cover the entire Room to activate the Skill, either. All he needed was something that stood true to a Room's definition. Then, upon activation, the Skill covered a maximum area of 1500 square feet (139.35 m²) around him.
If the Summoned Pokemon didn't leave this space, then the rejected and imposed Rules would keep working on them, regardless of their attack's range.
On the other side, Illya had already lost a part of her hope when she saw so many Magic Circuit-less people taking shape within the Reality Marble.
With her knowledge, she could acutely tell that only a few of the monsters were part of the Reality Marble, not the people. So, their sudden presence here didn't make any sense.
Then, purple, transparent walls had sprung up around the white-haired man.
As if that wasn't enough, the yellow star overhead that repulsed her to the core had fallen, becoming another monster.
As Illya used magic to keep herself from getting thrown away, she saw Berserker getting blasted by a golden-black beam.
The explosion that resulted was nothing less than a Noble Phantasm.
"BERSERKER!!!" Illya cried, her screams melting away into the yellowed darkness. "FIGHT FOR ME!!!"
The growl that oozed out of the explosion, then, was divine.
Berserker, now surrounded by a redness and blackness, as if bloody, cursed flames had taken over him, walked out unscathed, his eyes locked on the target.
The entire ocean floor shook as the Servant crouched and shot across the space beyond the speed of sound.
Unfortunately, a ridiculous existence was waiting for him midair.
Cr-ackk-kkkkkkk!
Yellow bolts of lightning snaked around Black as he took a basic stance, planting his left foot into the seams of reality.
Berserker never saw the attack coming.
Renewal Taekwondo —
Black spun three times in succession, landing kicks at Berserker's left and right temples, followed by the heel striking the back of its head.
With a splitting boom, half of Berserker's head exploded.
— Recoilless Three Stage Hoechook!
Berserker fell with a splash.
Behind him, far into the distance, Illya's throat went dry as she screamed.
Suddenly, the Servant that had just lost its life stood up, its head regenerating.
Terrifying magical fluctuations oozed out, becoming a cocoon around it. In the next instant, Berserker was already standing tall, stronger than ever.
ROARRRRRRRRRRR!
Like a wraith, Berserker snapped into existence in front of Black.
Black never saw the attack coming, though. The stone axe struck him like a mountain getting hit by a tiny rod.
And the mountain was sent flying with a hissing, screeching boom.
Kai planted his hazel gaze on the Spirit and commanded, "Go."
Shooting like a black beam of death, Cersei appeared over Berserker and fired Magic Bullets. Petyr tore through the surroundings, using the Forbidden Sword Art.
Magneton's lightning surrounded it like a cloak. Deoxys' energy balls landed on its face. Gyarados' Hyper Beam tore a hole through its stomach. And the man-sized Kaiju, with six legs, two spear-like tails, and a hideous mouth, latched onto its back, tearing its flesh.
Berserker lifted the stone axe and hacked.
Cersei and Petyr got shredded.
Magneton, Gyarados, and Kaiju followed the two Characters.
Deoxys survived the blow, using its Defense Forme, but it also got blasted away.
Krrrrrrrrrrrr!
Growling like a mad beast of pure rage, Berserker shot toward Kai, its speed blinding the senses.
Before it could even enter the purple walls, though, Black's hand came for it.
With a logic-defying agility, despite Black's buffed Stats, Berserker spun midair, dodging the grab.
Too bad, Black had predicted the move.
Renewal Taekwondo —
Black's leg wrapped itself around Berserker's head like a snake, his bones becoming muscles using Biokinesis.
Spinning round and round, he took the Berserker up and then threw it down, a massive shockwave splitting apart eardrums.
With a tearing crack, Berserker's head snapped, rotating a full 720 degrees.
— Recoilless Dragon Catcher!
As Black landed, fighting the feeling of collapsing inward because of the sheer buffs, Kai's eyes narrowed as Berserker got up again after getting killed a second time.
If this kept going on, the Reality Marble would disappear long before he could finish the Spirit.
For the Fate Borrower Skill to work, he needed to borrow Berserker's fate just before its death. Only then could he go for Illya's fate.
At the same time, when he was having these thoughts, the Rayquaza curling overhead disappeared.
A Cooldown of 60 seconds imposed itself on the Eon Soul Dew, preventing Kai from summoning other Pokemon.
Kai rejected it. "Skip."
Another yellow star fell.
It's the Mad Enhancement and Battle Continuation of Berserker… Kai contemplated with cold precision. I need to take care of them first, if I want a chance of winning it within the next few minutes.
As Black and Berserker blurred and boomed within the House Common Room, causing terrifying fluctuations, a Pokemon took shape in the sky, with the yellow star burning in the background.
Coooooooooo!
The Corrupt-Latios' eyes shone blue and black as per Kai's wishes, using the move Confusion on Berserker.
Suddenly, just as Berserker was about to pierce Black's body with the stone axe, his vision blurred for a moment.
It was like he forgot what he needed to do next.
Of course, this wasn't enough to give Black an instance that he needed to deal another blow, Kai knew.
So, he canceled the Summon and — Skipped.
The Corrupt-Uxie's eyes glowed purple as a multicolored ray of light left the gem on its head and hit Berserker.
The Extrasensory Move didn't deal much damage, but applied a Cringe status to Berserker, making it unable to attack or move.
The two moves compiled over one another, giving Black the chance he had been looking for.
Renewal Taekwondo —
Leaning back, Black kicked Berserker's neck two times in rapid succession.
In the next moment, the Servant's head fell forward, dangling boneless against its chest.
— Recoilless Goryeo!
Three lives done.
Nine to go.
But Kai still wasn't happy. "Mayuri…"
The Captain of the 12th Division unsheathed his sword, grinning ear to ear.
"Exactly what I had been waiting for to test my modifications…" the Shinigami said, licking the blade. "Bankai —
"— Konjiki Aokami Ashisogi Jizō!"
