A yellow star fell, taking the shape of corrupt-Xerneas, its horns shining with a multicolored hue magnificently.
With a charge that felt like a shooting star, it slammed its horns into Berserker, who was hung motionless in spacetime.
Move — Giga Impact!
Such signature moves, especially the ones that affected the physical status of the target, were nearly close to being called a Noble Phantasms.
However, as Berserker's body boomed across the Reality Marble, skidding on the bloody sheet, Kai noticed that it hadn't left even the tiniest dent.
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...….
Magical fluctuations ruptured the Limitless Blood Firmament as Berserker stood up, brandishing its stone axe.
Instantly, the Three-Headed Devourer again used the same Skills, locking space and time around the Servant.
Not only that, Kai summoned Latios and Uxie once more, skipping the time within the House Common Room.
For a fraction of a second, Berserker again became a statue.
Then, with a solid jerk, he came back to his senses, his terrifying sunken eyes landing on Kai.
As I thought, Kai contemplated, seeing the effect. He's like a virus becoming resistant to the drugs… No wonder he's a Myth beyond Myths…
Even though the combination of different Moves and Skills had only lasted for less than a second, it had given Black enough time to take shape.
Black opened his eyes, and his dark gaze fell on the Berserker.
The tip of Berserker's axe shifted in Black's direction.
In the next moment, their fists struck each other.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!
Blow-by-blow, kicks by kicks, booms and bangs rang around the Reality Marble as Black and Berserker went above and beyond to eradicate each other's existences.
One moment.
Merely one moment.
That was the amount of time they needed to finish each other.
However, the red and black flaming magical energy surrounding Berserker was only getting stronger.
As if the power behind his attacks wasn't enough, it was getting faster as well.
Then, suddenly, something happened that gave Berserker the chance it direly needed.
Letting go of the axe, Berserker took a stance, leaning back on his left leg. With its hands, it balanced out its massive stature.
The Ad Infinitum halted all processes, taking in the absurdness of this event with Black's wide, shocked eyes.
Renewal Taekwondo —
Berserker let out a beastly growl, kicking straight, scarring the Reality Marble in front of it.
— Recoilless Front Kick!
And Black disintegrated.
Of course, killing Black wasn't enough.
The Myth manifested over Kai's head again, completely ignoring the bindings of Selenes' spacetime.
Renewal Taekwondo —
Berserker's first foot landed on Kai's left temple.
But before he could follow it with another kick at Kai's right temple, the Demon King blinked out of existence.
Far into the distance, Kai appeared next to Black, who was regaining his form, the three Selenes taking shape behind them.
Suddenly, the left part of Kai's body disintegrated, becoming dust.
Opposite them, Berserker landed in the blood ocean — creating ripples.
Kai snatched Biokinesis from Black, regenerated his body, and returned it, eying the baffling phenomenon. -How?- he hissed in disbelief.
-He's making you his 13th labor,- Ayin hissed in reply, sounding shocked herself. -You need to finish him now or…-
"I've had enough of this debauchery," Black said, sounding pissed. "Come out. I know you are still there."
"Kekeke…" Orochimaru slithered out of the bloody ocean near them, licking his lips with his long tongue. "Was just gathering data…"
As Berserker took another step, waves of blood rising behind him, Black's eyes narrowed. "Do it."
Getting the command, the Character's neck elongated instantly.
Then, Orochimaru bit Black on the neck, tiny swirls taking shape on the skin.
This time, when Berserker took another step, Black stepped forward as well, Orochimaru making a hand seal behind, activating the Cursed Seal.
Black's entire body vibrated.
He lifted his hands, and the Ad Infinitum found even his cells shaking… so much, in fact, that it couldn't accurately tell their positions.
"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Black let out a powerful shout, distorting the surrounding space, and disappeared.
From the other side, Berserker couldn't be seen anywhere, either.
The next time they appeared, they were standing in front of each other, both assuming their stances.
Berserker's body had taken a stony tinge. It was as if on whatever fuel it was running to go beyond his own myths had almost run out.
Opposite him, the Yellow Sign manifested on Black's head, strange, cursed marks covering his entire body, glowing yellow.
Renewal Taekwondo —
Black and Berserker blurred, passing right through each other.
— Recoilless Black Hoechook!
— Recoilless Berserker Hoechook!!
Silence.
With a thud, Black's knees struck the blood ocean, his head twisting at odd angles before exploding with a bloody squelch.
Behind him, Berserker took one more step.
In the second step, he became stone.
"Now!" Kai rushed with an urgency, blinking over Berserker's blackened, stony body. "Fate Borrower!"
…
[
Contestant Kai D. Stormborn, you are trying to borrow Berserker's Present Fate of being a Heroic Spirit.
If you proceed with it, you will be subjected to all the rules that Heroic Spirits of Berserker-Class are subjected to as per the Fate Random World.
Do you wish to proceed?
]
…
Just as Kai accepted the notification, a massive glow shrouded him and Berserker.
In the next moment, Kai landed slowly in front of the Heroic Spirit, feeling the Rage within.
Meanwhile, Black, twisting his neck and regaining Calm, walked up to Illya.
The white-haired girl had gone blue and black, her magical circuits barely keeping her alive by forcibly beating her heart.
Black smiled gently at her.
"There's a girl I know," he said, patting her head. "Darcie. She calls me Uncle, but she's like a little sister to me. You… look like her."
Illya stared at the monster with dead eyes.
"It's OK to hate me," Black said, but the voice didn't come out of his mouth. His lower jaw was getting lower and lower, becoming wider and wider. "I will devour your hate and keep it inside me…
"… Just like I will devour you."
Grabbing her head, Black activated the Fate Borrower and ate Illya alive.
