Okay, you might not believe it when I tell you.
Uncle B, this big guy, has a greater advantage in speed than in strength!
Although Pendragon looks thin and seemingly vulnerable, he is still a Berserker with a Strength rating of A, making him a superhuman.
It was precisely because of this huge contrast in visuals and effects that Rin and Artoria, who were watching the battle, couldn't help but gape, their bodies stiffening as if petrified.
"..."
After a long while, Rin Tohsaka finally reacted and looked at Artoria with an incredulous gaze.
Will this guy become this brave in the future?
However, the situation on the field is still not optimistic. Berserker's strength is obviously superior to Saber's, and his speed is also slightly suppressed. Is it just my imagination?
Rin even felt that Berserker was superior to Saber in terms of techniques...
Isn't it only heroes who excel in swordsmanship and are the most powerful who are chosen to appear in the world as Saber-class Servants?
Chapter Sixty-Two: Replenishing Magic
Chapter 62
Hmm, it must be because my knowledge is too limited, and I can't understand the mystery behind it!
Rin shook her head vigorously, her twin tails, even covered in dust, remained silky and soft, fluttering like ribbons.
"boom!!!"
Accompanying the enormous explosion was an ear that was almost shaken to the point of bleeding. It wasn't just the clash of swords; in the instant Saber and Berserker clashed, the magic that was blasted out like cannonballs was the main force behind the flash.
If they weren't magicians who could control the flow of magic within their bodies, they would have already fainted at such close range of the battlefield, or even been killed by the shockwave!
In terms of both physical strength and power, Pendragon was completely outmatched after a brief exchange.
Incidentally, Rin's combat skills are quite good; even Pendragon's martial arts were suppressed by this mountain of flesh in front of him.
No, or rather, Pendragon was never skilled in martial arts!
Since her debut, she has always relied on overwhelming power or direct confrontation to overcome any challenge, without needing to use such fancy tricks.
However, after limiting his abilities this time, he surprisingly found a sense of excitement that he hadn't felt in a long time. If it weren't for his ancestral intuition that allowed him to predict all of Berserker's attack patterns, Pendragon would probably have been crushed by Berserker by now if he had only relied on his basic abilities.
It is precisely because Pendragon can always predict Berserker's actions and prepare in advance, as if he has seen through everything, that Rin thinks her level is too low and she can't see the trick.
But this kind of suppression of power...
Pendragon gripped the hilt of her sword with both hands and slashed at Berserker several times. Then, the ground beneath her feet began to swell with holes from the weight of her blows, and her body was violently pushed back under the immense power of this giant monster!
Despite the long battle, his gleaming leather shoes sank deep into the grass, carving two deep furrows in the earth as Pendragon slid backward.
"call……"
Pendragon paused slightly, letting his numb arms rest for a while.
On the other side, Berserker wasn't having an easy time either. Although his monstrous physique meant he could completely ignore cracks in his arm bones, the powerful recoil from colliding with Pendragon prevented him from immediately readjusting his movements to launch another attack.
“…Saber?”
As the battle progressed, Rin's heart began to race. Even though she didn't know the details, it was clear that Saber was being suppressed.
Therefore, Rin, who had originally planned to use magic to provide remote support, agreed without hesitation when Pendragon requested to draw on his magical energy.
"Tch, that's all the magic power you have."
Through the connection between master and servant, Pendragon sensed the magical power within Rin Tohsaka in the darkness, like a candlelight in the night, which was quite noticeable.
Compared to other magicians, well, Artoria, Rin Tohsaka's magical power is certainly vast and boundless.
However, compared to Servants, the magical power generated within a magician's body pales in comparison.
"It's barely enough."
With his Master's permission, Pendragon immediately and without hesitation took away more than 80% of Rin's magical power.
This caused the young lady's expression to instantly become extremely ferocious, and she was so distressed that she almost bit her teeth to pieces.
That's a full 80% of the magic!
This is far more mana-intensive than when Rin summoned a Servant a few days ago. Summoning Pendragon only used up half of her mana!
Magic is the life force of a person. Losing four-fifths of it at once gave Rin the feeling that she was about to die suddenly. The weakness of having her internal organs removed made her unable to stand steadily.
It was as if he had aged decades in an instant, becoming a frail and elderly man.
"Tousaka!"
Artoria saw the girl's body swaying and falling backward, and rushed over to support her, using her own body to brace her back.
"what happened to you?"
Seeing the concerned and panicked expression on the face in front of her that was exactly the same as her Servant, Rin Tohsaka weakly shook her head.
"I'm fine. Saber, she really doesn't hold back when using other people's magic..."
Muttering to herself, Rin Tohsaka had been somewhat resentful that Pendragon had almost drained her dry, and wanted to retaliate by cutting off her food for a few days.
However, after seeing Artoria's adorable face, he couldn't stay angry anymore.
She had a unique, delicate fragrance, and her body was very supple, but her breasts…
Miss Rin recalled the feel of Pendragon, then looked at Artoria with pity through her already somewhat weak eyes.
The future looks bleak.
"???"
Artoria's expressive eyes seemed to be asking a question with that look, and Rin quickly and awkwardly looked away, turning her gaze to the battlefield between Saber and Berserker.
"Don't disappoint me, Saber."
However, the large amount of magic she lost left her limbs weak and powerless, and she could only stand up by supporting Artoria.
Therefore, they had to stay away from the battlefield to avoid being caught in the crossfire and powerless to resist.
"The final blow, crush her, Berserker."
Like Rin, Illya held high expectations for her Servant and confidently gave her instructions.
Pendragon, having replenished his mana from Rin, activated the second form of the Evil Holy Sword: the Twin-Headed Lightsaber!
"Buzz!"
A section of light blade trembled and popped out from the extended hilt of another sword, slicing the air into pieces.
"I……"
Miss Rin was stunned and almost swore. What was this mysterious sense of technology? Are all the Heroic Spirits of the future this high-class?
"This sword can be used like this?"
Artoria was also stunned, her lips slightly parted, unable to utter a word.
"Where's the sword that's supposed to be able to cleave stars? It can't even cut a big salted fish! Unscrupulous merchant, I'm going to file a complaint for false advertising!"
In Pendragon's memory, this evil holy sword, which cost nine yuan and had free shipping, possessed the terrifying power to cleave a planet in two, which is why his master had taken a liking to it and bought it for him.
P.S.: I slept in late today, then got up, cooked, ate, and took a nap. When I woke up, there was a League of Legends match, and by the time I finished watching it, it was very late, lol.
Chapter Sixty-Three: The Second Sword
Chapter 63
The difference between the seller's photos and the buyer's photos is just too real, but...
"When I draw my second sword, no one will be able to stand in front of me. Bam! Starburst Slash!"
The magical flames that erupted from the two blades gave Pendragon terrifying kinetic energy, like an aircraft engine, and it tore through the sound barrier in an instant!
The glasses that seemed to be his true form had been removed at some point, and Pendragon appeared in front of the Berserker, who was preparing to charge, in an instant, with blazing dark flames and lightning.
Although the speed of this attack exceeded the limits of the character panel, reaching a point where even a Servant couldn't react in time...
But Berserker is still amazing. It's as if he foresaw it in advance, and he even completely saw through Pendragon's attack.
The light blade, slashing down from above at an incredible speed, was blocked instantly by the magical stone bar in Berserker's hand!
But it's not a big problem.
The extreme speed brought unimaginable kinetic energy, making Pendragon's attack far exceed her usual limits, directly overwhelming Berserker with power!
The figure, as large as a mountain of flesh, slightly bent its knees, and the ground instantly shattered into pieces.
The blade, resembling a light bulb, began to bend under the immense force of the swing, then rebounded with remarkable resilience.
Berserker's massive body was actually cleaved into the air by Pendragon's sword, flying uncontrollably!
And this is just the beginning of the combo.
Despite being called the Starburst Abandoned Healing Slash, it is actually the Black Dragon Double Victory Sword. Even though Pendragon had no prior experience, this was the first time he had activated this seemingly impressive Noble Phantasm.
But it was as if the body had instinctively memorized these moves; thinking about them, it naturally used them, creating a combo.
The twin lightsabers danced endlessly in Pendragon's hands, unleashing beams of light like crescent moons, each one a dazzling and magnificent display of power, like the petals of an elegant rose in full bloom.
Berserker was overwhelmed by the torrential sword dance, or rather, the outcome was already decided the moment he was knocked into the air.
Berserker's stone slabs, which he used as an axe, were completely unable to stop the storm of attacks.
A blade of light, powerful enough to cleave a planet, sliced through the gaps in his defenses!
Even the indestructible body forged through countless trials was rendered utterly useless in the face of such extreme sharpness and heat, and was easily severed!
The scorching temperature instantly charred the flesh and bones within the wound, creating a carbonized seal that prevented certain graphic and violent scenes unsuitable for children from appearing there.
"Successful!"
Miss Rin's smile revealed her exhaustion, but having dealt with such a formidable enemy, what was a mere mana replenishment? Even draining her dry wasn't out of the question.
The mountain of flesh was hacked to pieces by Saber's high-tech sword, turning into dark, lumpy objects; it was clearly dead beyond any doubt.
"By the way, how do you stop this thing?"
Pendragon thought so too; she had already cut Berserker's body into eight pieces, enough to take one of his lives.
There's no need to waste mana using the remaining Noble Phantasms...
This was contrary to her wishes. The price Pendragon paid for being able to perfectly unleash the full power of her Noble Phantasm without any practice was that her control over the Noble Phantasm was almost zero.
It's like a pre-programmed activation sequence; once activated, it can only wait for itself to stop, and the operation is irreversible.
And so, under Pendragon's pained gaze, she couldn't control herself and began to brutally whip Berserker's corpse, inhumanly and cruelly tearing him to pieces, finally finishing him off with a curry stick—
With an intense burst of light, Pendragon and Berserker passed each other, landing with their backs to the direction of the explosion. A lonely, proud, and aloof demeanor, like snow, emanated from their cold backs.
Then, Pendragon, expressionless and silent, wielded his double-headed lightsaber in a dazzling display of swordplay before sheathing it and withdrawing his powers.
"it is good……"
"good?"
Rin Tohsaka and Artoria looked at Pendragon, who was already incredibly handsome, with a puzzled expression. She... seemed to have left something unsaid?
"So shameful..."
Holy crap, it's one thing to not be able to control the power of your ultimate attack, but was this ridiculously embarrassing and cringeworthy ending animation also forced on you?
God knows how embarrassed Pendragon must have felt when he couldn't skip that cool sword-flailing move.
"It's really the same..."
When Artoria saw Pendragon without his glasses for the first time, she hugged Rin Tohsaka's waist and stared wide-eyed in surprise.
At this moment, Pendragon's expressionless face, which had never shown any emotion before, turned bright red for the first time, like a ripe red apple. This sight made Miss Rin's heart tremble, and she unconsciously swallowed.
She seems genuinely embarrassed; even the expressionless woman blushed. However, Rin thought the Noble Phantasm was incredibly cool, especially the final scene where she didn't look back at the explosion and made an incredibly cool sword-wielding gesture... It almost melted my heart.
"Don't come any closer."
Seeing another blonde Pendragon, supporting Rin who was experiencing a leg cramp, about to walk over, Pendragon almost cried out in disbelief and quickly told them to stop.
"What's wrong, Saber...?"
Rin Tohsaka didn't notice Illya's expression not far away, which was a helpless sigh and a hint of impatient boredom.
