"Berserker?!" Hearing Assassin's words, Saber gazed intently at the newcomer. Heavy armor made of unknown material, a heavy greatsword inserted into the ground, emitting a gloomy aura... perhaps it was the culprit that caused the tremors just now.
This Servant, just from his appearance, looked quite strong!
"!" "?" Without speaking, the other party grabbed that heavy sword with one hand, then waved it. Whoosh! The wild wind howled; violent air pressure blew over, lifting the bangs of both Saber and Assassin.
"Intervening in my duel with Assassin, do you intend to fight one against two?" Standing while holding her sword, the brilliance of the Holy Sword not yet dissipated, Saber looked at the other party and asked. Whoosh!
"?!" And in just a moment, the other party gave an answer. Holding such a huge sword, his movements weren't slow at all; on the contrary, they were abnormally fast. Clang! He had already slashed down from above; Saber immediately raised the Holy Sword to parry.
In the instant the Evil Sword clashed with the Holy Sword, blinding sparks burst out. Crack! The ground where Saber stood collapsed due to the heavy pressure, her feet sinking entirely into the soil.
'Such a heavy force...' Being suppressed like this for the first time, she even felt a sense of being unable to hold it.
"Saber! Don't open your eyes to look at his sword!" Having suffered a loss once, Kenshin got up and shouted loudly immediately.
"What?" Hearing Assassin's reminder, Saber was stunned first, but looking up, she had already seen the purple-black aura emitted from the other party's sword body assembling into a scarlet "Dragon Eye."
'Is this the Dragon's resentment and anger?' Sensing the will contained in the "Dragon Eye," her body stiffened for a moment, simply unable to exert force. At the same time, the greatsword had already pressed down with the momentum.
'Bad!' If she bore it like this, she would inevitably suffer serious injuries. Clang! At the critical moment, Kenshin already held the broken sword and scabbard, swinging both in unison.
"Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu: Soryusen (Twin Dragon Flash)!" A violent two-hit combo struck Berserker's helmet. He indeed couldn't cut the fully armed Berserker with a sword, but using strong inertial force to repel the opponent was still achievable.
Scritch! His feet creating dragging gullies, Berserker was shaken back a little distance, and the greatsword suppressing Saber was withdrawn accordingly.
"Thanks, Assassin!" Naturally thanking him, Saber said with lingering fear. If not for Kenshin's help just now, she definitely would have been injured.
That exaggerated greatsword... once it hit her, her own armor definitely couldn't completely defend against it. Crack... But subsequently, Saber saw cracks appear on Assassin's already half-broken sword.
"Did you fight Berserker before too?" Suddenly understanding why Kenshin's sword broke in half, Saber realized with a start.
"Although this is not Sessha's intention, since he insists on coming for us, I can only cooperate with you." Nodding, Kenshin assumed a defensive stance.
Although he could have chosen not to help Saber just now, that would undoubtedly be seeking his own death. Only by cooperating with Saber would there be a chance to repel or defeat Berserker. He couldn't do it alone.
The enemy of an enemy is a friend; this sentence was universal everywhere. "Let's decide the victory or defeat between you and me after defeating Berserker."
The corners of her mouth raised into an arc; Saber didn't dislike this development. On the contrary, she appreciated upright people.
From the rescue just now and the current attitude, it could be seen that Assassin wasn't a foolish and disgusting guy.
Although he had a record of attempting to assassinate her "Master" before, that belonged to the other party's duty and position, nothing to blame. "Be careful, he's coming!"
Tensing his nerves, Kenshin then spoke in a deep voice. Whoosh! Kicking the ground with a single leg, rushing over like a rocket, the greatsword slashed horizontally with the momentum.
It greatly meant to behead both Saber and Assassin together. Saber stepped forward actively, waving the Holy Sword to resist the heavy sword slashing horizontally. Her feet gripped the ground firmly at the same time to stabilize her center of gravity.
Scritch... But that posture of being pushed back several meters at once appeared abnormally difficult. 'As a Berserker...' 'This strength is too abnormal!'
In the confrontation of strength, she was pushed away... And Kenshin instantly avoided the front of the greatsword, using the scabbard to heavily strike the opponent's leg joints from the side.
As a killer, he knew very well how to target the enemy. Using a broken sword couldn't cause damage; he could only use the scabbard to create trouble for the opponent as much as possible.
"What!" But in the next moment, before Kenshin's attack arrived, he found the opponent released the greatsword, and the other hand grabbed a golden long spear that suddenly appeared, stabbing towards his forehead with the momentum.
'No!' Trading injury for injury... Judging this situation, Kenshin's figure retreated violently to the side.
Coincidentally avoiding the opponent's heavy blow, but at the same time failing to attack successfully. If he had hesitated even a trace just now, he probably would have been injured again.
Whether his scabbard hitting the opponent would cause injury was hard to say, but he himself would definitely be either dead or crippled. "What fast reaction ability."
Saber couldn't help but feel surprised seeing Berserker able to counterattack even like this. Being countered by the opponent even with Assassin's speed... this was too exaggerated.
'The greatsword full of Dragon's resentment...' 'The golden long spear...' 'Does he actually possess multiple Noble Phantasms?'
Saber looked at Berserker's actions with strange doubt. Generally speaking, it wasn't strange for Servants to possess multiple Noble Phantasms, but due to Class issues, the weapons usable were relatively unified.
In layman's terms, Saber generally used "Swords," Archer used "Bows," Lancer used "Long Spears," and Rider definitely had to "Ride."
And a Servant who could hold a "Sword" and use a "Long Spear" was quite rare. "Putting away the greatsword and switching to a long spear to fight us... do you think you are a Lancer?"
'And judging from the structure of the weapons, it seems they are not made of conventional materials.' 'Which country's hero is he anyway?'
The dissipated greatsword withdrew its figure, leaving only that golden long spear with dragon motifs rising and falling. It was the first time Saber had seen such a special Heroic Spirit.
And next, she witnessed the opponent's terribleness. Whoosh! Whoosh! Smack! The held long spear attacked with a sharp posture; that tricky attack made her have no time to even counterattack.
'This spear technique?' Completely unfamiliar offensive, Saber found it hard to describe. Berserker wasn't fighting chaotically without method...
The opponent was simply like a familiar long spear master; every "stab," "pick," "stir," "mix," "collision," etc., was controlled quite well.
Bloodstains appeared on the side of her face; that was a "thrust" she failed to avoid.
"Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu: Doryusen (Earth Dragon Flash)!" Using the scabbard to hit the ground heavily, raising violent air pressure and crushed stones to strike Berserker's back.
This sudden attack caused Berserker's action to lag, also giving Saber a chance to gasp. "Truly an unexpected strong enemy..."
Taking the opportunity to pull away distance, Saber wiped the bloodstains on her face and spoke. She never thought Berserker would be so tough. Suppressing with a greatsword was one thing, but playing the long spear so well too.
But at this moment, the two suddenly discovered the golden long spear in Berserker's hand turned into an old and gorgeous grimoire engraved with unknown text. "Weapon changed?"
PS: Consider this a bit of explanation, placed here. The protagonist of FF14, the Warrior of Light, is abbreviated as "WoL" (or "Light Fool" in Chinese fandom), because his early performance was very dull, only able to express emotions by shaking or nodding his head, hence such a nickname. But the combat power of "WoL" after actually experiencing the plot is impeccable. Fighting Evil Dragons, helping restore nations, defeating Empires, defeating Despair capable of endangering the universe... these cannot be finished in a simple narration. His biggest characteristic is that he uses too many equipments. Greatsword, Katana, Long Spear, Gun, Machine Cannon, Grimoire, Staff, Astrometer, Scythe, Knuckles, Axe, Fishing Rod... Almost all are proficient. To describe with one of them, using the long spear in the plot, he also has the title of "Azure Dragoon," while during the greatsword period he is called "Dark Knight."
