Chapter 18, Annihilation
Conflicting swords and swords.
Even though they were suppressed by Berserker's sword, the swordsmen did not let the sword slow down in the slightest
Two silver rays of light running in the dark.
How much magic is in that little body?
Obviously, they should be at a disadvantage in terms of strength, but they have not taken half a step back.
The giant with the eyes of a demon god wielded a stone sword, and the two of them caught it, bounced it back, and slashed it down from the front.
"Fighting—why?"
It's impossible, obviously I couldn't even withstand a blow just now.
At that time, Tosaka and I could only stare blankly, trembling in the face of that power.
"I see—"
"Huh?"
"What, can't you see it?"
Tosaka was engrossed in the battlefield, her hands clenched and trembling, squeezing her composure.
I know how she feels.
Nothing can be done, nothing can be done. Even if it is a meat shield, it has no value.
A feeling of weakness.
"The way they fight is different from what they were now. Red Defense, Blue Attack...... It's an amazing trick, and the red Saber was in action before Berserker made a move. ”
“?”
It's completely confusing.
Tosaka isn't a person who can say meaningless things, so I guess I just don't understand it.
"In terms of the simple attack action of [swinging the sword], it can be roughly broken down into three phases. Start, act, end. Which stage of attack do Emiya-san think is the most terrifying? ”
“…… Let's do it. That's when the attack happens. ”
"That's right, so the red Saber was already in action when Berserker's [Action] was still in the [Start] stage. Thus, the Berserker attack was forcibly ended. ”
"Emiya-san's from the Kyudo Department, right? That should be understandable. This is similar to archery, after attaching the arrow, and then pulling the bow, the farther the bowstring is drawn, the more powerful the arrow will be. What Red Saber did was pull only a little bit on the bowstring...... No, even before that, before he even started pulling. ”
In other words, no matter how powerful the force is, as long as you don't get to act, it's fine.
Like slashing and wielding a spear with a greatsword in a narrow area, the red Saber itself becomes a wall that limits Berserker's range of movement.
But
"Can you do such a thing?"
"Huh?"
"Because that monster is Hercules."
Heroes are the limits of humanity.
And Hercules is the monster that is also the apex in the middle of it.
☆
One look can understand the other person's meaning, and one action can penetrate the other person's thoughts.
Tactics were decided at the beginning.
Even if there is no verbal exchange, the two sides work together perfectly as the established procedures.
It was a tacit understanding dissolved in the blood and cooperated after countless battles.
【Why fight?】 Obviously, with the tactics set before, the winner can be determined in an instant. 】
The Crimson Longsword could not comprehend the Red Knight's actions. It's not logical to have a better way to do it, but you don't need it, you have to get hurt and suffer.
Of course, it didn't understand what the Red Knight was thinking.
It was Hercules in front of him. Big heroes. The apex of heroes.
As a warrior, don't you want to take on a challenge when you meet a warrior who is stronger than you?
What's more, he won't die at all! So let's fight to your heart's content!
Himself is the shield, Saber is the sword.
Defend yourself, Saber takes care of the attack.
As soon as the giant wants to give up on himself to attack Saber, he will immediately attack his foothold.
On the contrary, they use their senses to dodge and defend. Then add a few more blood streaks under Saber's sword.
Under this tactic, there is even a faint tendency to suppress Berserker.
Swing the sword, swing the sword constantly
This body is amazing.
Sharp eyes can see every step of the way.
Keen skin could feel the magic surging beneath his skin.
Knowing what he wants to do before he makes a move is why it's so smooth.
"!!Ahh
Perhaps suppressed for too long, Berserker unleashed an unprecedented blow.
But
"Muda!!"
The blade of the sword had begun to dodge before it could touch the body, and the stone sword simply swept in front of it, taking away an arm, and then splitting a furrow in the earth.
"Tsk. I'll give you one or two arms or something, but first I'm going to take your [once]! ”
Trace────
on
The action begins.
A sword hovered in the air behind the red knight's back.
Its name is Excalibur Gallatin.
It was definitely a holy sword of the same level as Saber's Noble Phantasm
The silver-like blade is as hot and dazzling as the sun
"Gao Wenqing! It's up to you to lead the victory the first time! ”
Even Berserker sensed the threat
But there was no way for him to dodge. No matter how great a hero he is, he cannot change the simplest principle. That is, there are only a few actions that can be done at the same time. Wasting an action represents an opportunity to attack.
Holy Sword Piercing.
The steely flesh could not stop the sword from piercing the heart.
It's like a machine that has been robbed of power. The giants cease to act. The right eye, which glowed red, went out.
"Huh~? Well done. He was able to kill Berserker once. ”
Ilya complimented with a smile, but didn't feel a trace of nervousness about Berserker's death.
"Twelve times in a row!"
The holy sword that had fulfilled its mission was gone.
It should be said that there is no need to allow it to continue to exist. Originally, I just needed the attribute panel of this sword Gundam A+. It only needs to be summoned for a moment, and it is lifted before Gawain's personality affects him.
The Clarent is only C-tier as a weapon, and there is no possibility of breaking through Berserker's defenses other than liberating the Noble Phantasm. So it was necessary to project new weapons on an improvised basis. Fortunately, when he was in the Dojo of the Emiya family, Ori had already considered this situation and did some weapon projection exercises.
The severed arm was picked up and attached to the broken wound, and the wound quickly healed. Neither the Red Knight nor Saber stopped moving. Saber quickly pulled away, the sword in his hand glowing with a blinding golden light. The Red Knight is also preparing for his next attack.
The Berserkers could not be given a respite, as warriors they were not as naïve as Ilya. As long as one blow strikes the advantage, the next is endless attacks. Until dealing with death.
All that is left to wait for Berserker to be resurrected.
“Ex────!”
The sword began to weave beams.
"────Roar!"
"Oh no! So fast! ”
Resurrection speed beyond imagination. The red knight's severed arm is still being repaired, but the monster has returned from Hades again.
"Roar...... Ahhhh......h Ahh......hhh Ahh
The right eye is lit up again. There was no need to observe, and Saber, who was gathering the beam, was undoubtedly his target.
Putting down the heavy axe and sword, the monster ran.
Legend has it that Hercules drove out the king in the city-state of Elis who was unwilling to pay him. To celebrate the victory, he held a sports day in Olympia, to which numerous Greek heroes were invited. That was what became the Olympiad.
Of course, the winner of that Games was undoubtedly himself.
This legend has a very simple meaning.
That is, "no one can beat Hercules in motor nerves."
"Cal—uh, uh!!"
A punch large enough to shatter the rock, Saber's Noble Phantasm was interrupted before it could be released. Not only that, but the whole person was also sent flying. It was sent flying dozens of meters above the ramp.
Saber slammed straight up, like a steel ball, from the ramp to the cemetery in the distance.
"Oops!"
The Red Knights have been able to fight Berserker for so long, and a large part of it is because Saber attracts attention. The two of them took turns harassing each other in order to fight Berserker back and forth, and even managed to kill him once.
What if, one of them, is suddenly sent flying?
Is it possible for her senses alone to hold Berserker back?
"Roar—──"
The roar of a giant was heard in my ears.
Faster than sound.
When you hear a sound, it's too late.
The speed that went from rushing past to flying Saber and back back even surpassed the sound.
The pitch-black iron arm easily grabbed the red knight's head.
And then
Clench.
Syllable!
The sound was reminiscent of a popping watermelon.
Plasma spilled from the monster's fingers.
A momentary mistake wiped out the entire army.
P.s: Complete 2500 words. Ah, I feel like Yu is really going to become a 2Klux Klan. The next chapter is the projection of the treasure, is there really no one who can guess what it is?
