Although the Doggo was getting beaten up pretty badly by B-suke, his injuries weren't actually that severe.
After all, with Mo Wang's Reinforcement Magecraft as a safety net, there was no real danger to his life.
He looked miserable, and he was miserable, but who could blame Mo Wang for finding it so entertaining?
However, while Mo Wang watched Cú Chulainn get pummeled without a shred of conscience, Mash hadn't forgotten about him.
She hoisted her shield and slammed it into B-suke, knocking him away and saving the completely bewildered Cú Chulainn from his grasp.
The rescued Cú Chulainn had a vacant look in his eyes, his face pale.
His expression had the distinct aura of a young girl who had just been tricked by that shady Uncle Kyubey.
He'd been beaten into a catatonic state.
"Hey, Doggo, you okay?"
Mo Wang patted the Doggo's face. Cú Chulainn slowly turned his trembling gaze to Mo Wang.
Two clear streams of tears flowed from the corners of his eyes.
His look seemed to say: Why did you only come to save me now?
"Don't look at me like that. Your expression is making me feel kinda bad."
Mo Wang glanced at Cú Chulainn, feeling a pang of guilt at his miserable state.
So... Mo Wang simply covered his eyes with his hand.
There, now he couldn't see him.
May there be no B-suke in heaven.
"Senpai, what is going on with that Servant? Why were Mr. Cú Chulainn's attacks completely useless against him?"
Mash asked anxiously.
Watching Cú Chulainn get thrashed had been a huge shock to her, instantly deflating her previously swelling confidence.
"Oh, that's not surprising. After all, that guy over there is the legendary Heracles. Ever heard of the Twelve Labors? This guy has to be killed twelve times, and each time he's killed, he gets stronger. Just like a Saiyan."
"Heracles?! The strongest hero of Greece?" Romani, who had been lurking, popped out as soon as he heard Mo Wang.
"No wonder Cú Chulainn got beaten so badly—no, sorry, I misspoke. I didn't mean you're not as good as Heracles..." Romani suddenly realized his slip-up and clamped a hand over his mouth.
Cú Chulainn: ... Silence was his only reply.
"Sigh, what can I say? Even though B-suke has become a Shadow Servant, the Twelve Labors is a continuously active passive skill. You already saw Saber Alter spamming her Noble Phantasm, so why did you still charge in headfirst?"
Mo Wang continued with a sigh. It could only be said that he was worthy of the name "Hound," because that was certainly brave.
Cú Chulainn: Please stop talking. Can you give me some face? I already want to die.
But speaking of the Twelve Labors, it brought to mind an interesting fact.
In the original Fate prototype, God Hand was a Conceptual Noble Phantasm of "absolute victory in up to eleven battles." Since there were only six other Servants in a Holy Grail War, it meant he would absolutely win in a proper fight.
However, in the prototype, Gilgamesh, as an Archer, broke it. At the time, Gilgamesh possessed a Noble Phantasm with the effect of "absolute survival," which canceled out the effect of Berserker's "Twelve Labors." Because of the paradox between "absolute victory" and "absolute survival," although he didn't lose, he ultimately died.
Later, in Fate/stay night, because "that's just too absurd, let's scrap it" (in Nasu Kinoko's words), the effect was changed to "eleven revivals," which was still ridiculously strong.
But the interesting thing was, whether in the old Fate or the new, B-suke was fated to encounter Gilgamesh.
They were destined rivals.
"If that really is the strongest hero of Greece, Mo Wang, we might be in trouble."
Dr. Romani said to Mo Wang anxiously.
"Heracles still has eleven lives left. What do we do?"
"What do you mean, 'what do we do'? We just kill him, right?"
Mo Wang stretched his muscles.
"Honestly, ever since we got here, I haven't run into any decent enemies. It's about time I got a proper workout."
"ROAR!"
B-suke let out a deafening roar, the sound echoing like thunder, shaking everything around them. Then, like a moving mountain, he charged towards Mo Wang, his black muscles glistening under the moonlight, exuding an unstoppable sense of pressure.
Mo Wang stared intently at the massive figure.
He casually raised his right hand, his palm growing slightly warm as a powerful surge of magical energy rapidly converged within him, like a compressed sun.
The moment B-suke got close, he threw a punch. The force of the blow whistled through the air, carrying an invisible power.
The punch struck B-suke like a heavy hammer, instantly causing a violent tremor. B-suke's body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing through several tall buildings. Walls crumbled behind him, dust and debris flying everywhere, the air thick with an astonishing sense of power.
The scene left everyone who saw it completely dumbfounded.
"What's going on? With one punch, he sent that Heracles..."
Romani's jaw had dropped to the floor.
Heracles's Strength was an A-rank, one of the highest possible!
And Mo Wang had sent him flying with a single punch.
Even if he was a Shadow Servant, this was too ridiculous!
"I knew it! This guy is a dragon in human skin! No, he's even more ridiculous than a dragon!" Cú Chulainn, who had sat up, was completely rattled.
With a Master this strong, what was the point of a Servant like him?
"Honestly, B-suke, why were you in such a hurry? You gave me a scare."
Mo Wang casually glanced at the downed Heracles, though his face showed no trace of fear.
"Speaking of which, you were already pretty dark before, but now you've really become a black uncle. It's just a shame there's no white-haired loli this time."
"ROAR!" The blasted-away B-suke roared again. Even though Mo Wang's punch had practically knocked his head sideways, his tenacious life force kept him from dying.
"That's right, that's it! This is how you can make me show you... the end of the world."
As Mo Wang's words fell, a vast number of weapons were instantly projected around him.
At this moment, his fighting spirit was completely ignited.
The mindless Heracles knew no fear. His roar, like thunder, tore through the air again as he charged towards Mo Wang. But at this moment, Mo Wang's aura underwent a subtle change.
Unlike his previous berserker-like aura, he now seemed to have transformed into a dark, ethereal current. Everything around him dimmed under his presence, as if time itself had stopped. In the stillness, Mo Wang's presence became more profound, the surrounding chaos and clamor seemingly swallowed by him.
SWISH~! SWISH! SWISH! SWISH! With a rapid flurry of blades, Mo Wang's weapons sliced through the air, flashing with a cold light. The sword flashes fell like a fine rain, making the very air tremble. Heracles's figure blurred for an instant.
When the light gradually faded, Heracles's body stood frozen in place, as if nothing had happened.
His expression was locked in rage, but he could no longer make a sound. Everyone stared blankly at the scene, seemingly unable to comprehend what had just happened.
"In the end, a B-suke without his white-haired loli is just too weak." Mo Wang calmly retracted his weapons and turned, speaking softly. His words were like a gentle breeze.
Following his words, Heracles's figure gradually faded, dissolving into nothingness, as if he had never existed
