The golden long spear turned into a grimoire with strange characters; Saber sensed something was wrong in that instant. In her field of vision, Berserker opened his mouth as if reciting something, but she and Assassin couldn't hear any sound.
Carbuncle Summon! A blue multi-tailed creature appeared on the ground. Cat? Rabbit? What kind of species exactly it was... neither Saber nor Kenshin could know.
At least it wasn't an animal they had seen in their cognition. But describing it solely by appearance, it was "cute." However, paired with an existence like Berserker, the two didn't feel it was anything to be happy about.
"Chanting..." "Could it be?!" Looking at Berserker opening his mouth again, Saber reacted first, then attempted to launch a surprise attack.
She figured it out; not only swords and long spears, Berserker also had the talent to use "Magecraft." But there was one point she found hard to understand.
According to the Class bestowed by the Holy Grail, the abilities a Servant could use should be limited. Just as said before, Saber (Swordsman) wouldn't deviate from "Sword" no matter what, and Lancer (Spearman) would always have "Long Spear."
It was almost impossible to have a setting violating the Class like Saber using a spear or Lancer using a sword. But Berserker seemed completely unaffected...
No one could give an answer; she could only think of a way to stop the opponent with Assassin first.
Although she didn't know how strong Berserker's magecraft ability was, she didn't want to test and experience it. Judging from the exchange just now, this was a thorny strong enemy.
"Intercepting me?" Blocked by that small strange creature, Kenshin dodged a tail whip, his heart sinking. This strange creature also possessed power that couldn't be underestimated.
Although he could shake off the opponent quickly, this time was enough for Berserker to complete the chant. So he could only leave it to Saber to handle it frontally.
Bang! But in his vision, the moment Saber approached, she was blasted away by a flash of white light.
"Ugh!" Thud! Scritch... Her body hitting the ground heavily and sliding, Saber smashed into an uninhabited building before stopping.
'The chanting of magecraft is so fast...' 'And locked onto me in an instant.' Clutching her abdomen and feeling the pain in her body, Saber propped the Holy Sword on the ground to support herself up.
Although her speed wasn't as flexible as Assassin, it was quite excellent, but even so, she couldn't touch Berserker.
"The next shot is coming!" Instinct was triggering. Saber immediately blocked the Holy Sword in front.
BOOM!! The uninhabited building collapsed with a crash, stirring up thick smoke accompanied by a burst of rubble and debris.
"..." Forcing back the attacking blue "Cat-Rabbit," Kenshin found it hard to imagine how to defeat this opponent. Too strong... This was the first time in history he encountered such a terrifyingly strong enemy.
He simply couldn't see any hope of winning. Relying solely on the sword in his hand, he was completely not a match.
"!" But subsequently, he saw the strange creature disappear, and the grimoire in Berserker's hand turned into a giant golden axe. Paired with that heavy armor worn on his body, it looked too mighty.
'Sure enough... he is not an ordinary person, stronger than Master!' Confirming that the opponent could switch weapons to fight at any time, Kenshin felt more and more surprised.
This was also a cognitive washing for Kenshin, who was only a teenager. Excellent equipment, excellent personal martial arts, impeccable fighting style... This was something he had never seen before.
Whoosh! The giant axe had already swung over; he could only dodge awkwardly. He couldn't counterattack at all.
With the mass of that golden giant axe, the scabbard and broken sword would probably be disintegrated in an instant. If not relying on his agile movement, he probably would have been beaten off the field long ago.
'But dodging like this is no solution either... sooner or later I will be hit.' "Mn?" His mind running wildly, Kenshin sought a way to reverse the situation.
Then he found a shining light in a pile of building ruins in his eyes. That was where Saber was before... Berserker used magecraft to blast Saber away, but Saber's Holy Sword was still stuck in the ground.
Sword... Something seemed to be connected in his mind; Kenshin ran towards there at once. Whoosh! Berserker chased closely behind.
Hah! Running in front of the Holy Sword, Kenshin reached out to grab the hilt, and Berserker just happened to swing the giant axe down vertically.
"Assassin!" This scene just happened to be seen clearly by Saber rising not far away.
She knew what Kenshin intended to do; he wanted to use her Holy Sword to replace his weapon for fighting. 'If it's him... just swinging normally might really have a chance.'
Excalibur, Kenshin certainly couldn't use its Noble Phantasm release, but if just used as a normal weapon to fight, it was more than enough.
Clang!! Kenshin turned his body, his body horizontal in mid-air, and simultaneously pulled out that Holy Sword, blocking above.
The Holy Sword clashed with the giant axe, bursting out a huge impact. Kenshin was suppressed on the ground; the powerful force suppressed him firmly.
Crack! Crack! The ground his back leaned on was shattering... "!" Kenshin took a deep breath, tilted his body, and slipped out from the side.
The giant axe smashed on the ground, stirring up airwaves. "Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu!" "Ryutsuisen (Dragon Hammer Flash)!!" Taking the opportunity to leap up from the side, Kenshin held the Holy Sword with both hands and slashed down from above.
Berserker sensed his movement and retreated facing him. But Kenshin's speed wasn't slow. Crack! This time there was no bouncing off or sparks, but indeed cut open Berserker's thick heavy armor.
"Success?" Looking at the forced-back Berserker, Saber hesitated. Although there was no blood splattering, undoubtedly, Assassin indeed achieved breaking the defense.
Looking down at the damaged armor on his chest, the corner of the mouth hidden under the helmet raised. These two unknown heroes... Indeed had incredible skills and techniques.
Being able to tangle with him for such a period of time, they were already quite powerful. Bang!! Just at this time, the sound of an explosion came from nearby, and a figure rolled out awkwardly.
"Ptui ptui ptui..." "Dust got into my mouth!" The golden-haired figure climbed up from the ground, making weird actions. "Just how many traps do you have?!"
Still handcuffed by the magic circle, Kyoko Sakura jumped down from high above and said angrily. This Magus was too underhanded!!
She didn't know how many "pits" she stepped into, just failing to catch the opponent, but instead getting herself covered in dust. "This is...!" "Lancer and Caster?"
Two people suddenly popping out also shifted Saber and others' attention over. Unexpectedly, while they were fighting fiercely here, that side also got involved.
"Mn? Is there a battle here too? Not good!" Realizing it later, Kyoko Sakura then discovered there were three not-quite-right "people" existing not far away.
Able to clearly feel the aura of the opponents as Servants, she didn't want to face that group of guys at this time. A Spearman with hands sealed unable to use a spear, what kind of matter was this!
But just at this time, golden light flashed... A burst of untimely loud laughter came from the street lamp nearby. "A-hahahahahaha!!"
