-809- Once and for all

That was an astonishing and intense battle.

As this battle unfolded on the battlefield, the war turned into a simple duel, and the combat became direct slaughter, losing all meaning.

Under the intense clash of the three Servants on the battlefield, neither the Dragon Tooth Warriors nor the ancient warriors could play a decisive role. Even staying on the battlefield became an immensely challenging task.

This battle unfolded in front of everyone in such a way.

Berserker had transformed into a deadly storm, leaving a trail of devastation wherever he went. His axe-sword, a formidable weapon, unleashed pure power with every swing, creating either a storm of sand and stones or a tumultuous wind and clouds—a terrifying sight.

If Berserker was a deadly storm, then the two Lancers were lethal gales.

The two Lancers, unwilling to compete with Berserker in strength, turned into shooting stars, constantly hovering around Berserker. Their long spears, resembling the fangs of ferocious beasts, flashed with magical energy in every thrust, frequently striking Berserker. Their exceptional skills were evident.

However, Berserker wasn't just about overpowering strength. He showcased unmatched speed, comparable to even the highest-ranked agility Servant, despite his massive physique. Roaring, he kept pace with the two Lancers, proving to be an agile giant. Each swing of his axe-sword was both splendid and fluid, not resembling a Berserker who had lost his sanity; instead, it looked like a masterful and controlled display.

In this situation, even two skilled Lancers collaborating were momentarily incapable of dealing with Berserker.

No, if this continued, victory would undoubtedly belong to Berserker.

Because...

"All the attacks from those two Lancers were completely deflected by Berserker's body!"

Mash, who had been observing the battle, tightened the grip on her shield with a changing expression.

Even the members of Chaldea were awestruck.

"What's going on with that body!?"

Olga Marie exclaimed.

"Attacks from Servants can't even cause harm when they land? It's like breaking the rules!"

Roman couldn't help but exclaim.

"It's like a humanoid tank, not only possessing terrifying strength but also sturdy armor."

Da Vinci, too, was left dumbfounded.

Even Rozen stared intently at Berserker, who remained unscathed amidst the attacks from the two Lancers, deflecting each spear strike effortlessly. His expression turned serious.

In that moment, Rozen recalled the words of Caster Cu Chulainn, with whom he had formed a temporary contract in the singularity of Fuyuki.

"You only killed him once. If Saber hadn't taken him down early, depleting his Noble Phantasm, you wouldn't have had any chance of defeating him."

Those were the words of the Child of Light from Ireland.

"That Servant possesses a Noble Phantasm and combat prowess that even Saber finds troublesome. If it weren't for the magical power of the Holy Grail supporting her, whether Saber could defeat Berserker would still be unknown."

Thanks to this, Rozen and Mash were able to defeat the opponent because Berserker's Noble Phantasm had lost its effect.

The true Berserker possessed the ability to recover even after being defeated. Even King Arthur found it challenging to deal with him, and it was only through the power of the Holy Grail that the Noble Phantasm was eventually overwhelmed.

So...

"Is that the true Noble Phantasm of Berserker?"

Although the effect of the recovery was not yet seen, the power to stand up again even after being defeated had not been demonstrated. However, the defensive power that nullified the attacks of first-class Servants alone was enough to feel the threat.

Under the effect of this Noble Phantasm, even with the combined efforts of the two Lancers, they still couldn't smoothly take down Berserker, and there was even a trend of being gradually overwhelmed as time passed.

It wasn't that the two Lancers were too weak; it was just that Berserker was too strong.

Moreover...

"Indeed, facing a Servant using a Noble Phantasm, victory seems impossible without using a Noble Phantasm, right?"

"It's only natural. After all, the opponent is no ordinary person."

The golden Lancer and the black Lancer both stepped back violently.

"No other choice, release the Noble Phantasm, my loyal knight."

"As you command, my lord."

The golden Lancer and the black Lancer simultaneously raised the spears in their hands.

"Hum!"

Magical energy trembled, causing the spears to glow simultaneously.

Different from each other, the area around the golden Lancer's purple spear began to ripple like concentric waves, while the black Lancer's hands emitted red and yellow light, dazzlingly bright.

"Roar!"

Facing this scene, Berserker continued to roar fearlessly.

And upon witnessing this, not only Mash but even Rozen subconsciously held their breath, awaiting the arrival of the most intense conflict.

However, what happened next was something that no one had anticipated.

"Bang!"

As if glass had suddenly shattered, a surge of magical energy swept through Rozen and Mash, dispelling the Invisible Air cast on them. They appeared at the edge of the battlefield, losing the protection of the spell, surrounded by a burst of magical energy.

"What...!?"

Mash was greatly surprised.

"This is...!?"

Rozen was also slightly shocked, raising his head abruptly and looking in a certain direction.

At the same time, the Servants on the battlefield also keenly noticed the commotion here.

"Oh?"

"That's..."

The golden Lancer and the black Lancer were equally astonished, never expecting that there were others around.

As for Berserker, he had long been staring in the direction of Rozen and Mash.

Seeing the young boy and girl appearing at the edge of the battlefield, Berserker's expression unexpectedly froze for the first time.

In his mind, a scene slowly emerged.

The image of the boy being struck by his powerful blow in a city reduced to ruins, causing the girl to scream in grief. She rushed forward and fiercely collided with him, slamming the heavy shield into his body, shattering his spiritual core.

This scene brought forth a trace of emotion in Berserker's eyes for the first time.

Then...

"Roar!"

No longer ferocious and mad, but filled with determination and fighting spirit, a roar erupted from Berserker.

The mighty hero, forsaking the two Lancers, stomped on the ground, stirring up a violent gust of wind. Like a rocket launching, he created a sharp sonic boom and charged toward Rozen and Mash.

"Be careful!"

The members of Chaldea inside the facility exclaimed in shock.

"Senpai!"

Mash immediately leaped forward, standing in front of Rozen.

"Tsk...!"

Rozen clicked his tongue, but his eyes also glowed with dazzling brilliance.

"If that's the case, let me reclaim the disgrace of that battle once and for all!"

With these words, an astonishing magical power also burst forth from Rozen.

The battle was about to begin.
