Shinji Matou At Your Service

Chapter 36: Lancelot goes berserk

Views:

Many people heaved a sigh of relief at Archer's retreat, but now was not the time to be at ease, as Berserker, who was just as threatening as Archer, was standing in front of everyone.

The eyes emitted infinite light from deep in the gaps of the armor. Perhaps because they had lost their original opponent, they were wandering in the void boredly, and then they found new prey, and their eyes burned again.

His eyes, filled with hatred, stared at Saber, causing a chill to rise up from Saber's back.

"Ah!"

It was as if the sound was rising from the ground. Like a demon causing trouble or cursing. It was a human moan full of resentment, without any meaning.

This was the first time anyone heard Berserker's voice.

"Ahhhh—"

The black knight was like a human-shaped curse, his body filled with murderous aura, and he charged towards Saber in silver armor.

"Runaway!"

Seeing this scene, Shinji's face turned slightly blue and his mind was thinking quickly.

The Servants are able to survive in the real world only because of the magic power supplied by their Masters. The spiritual state consumes the least magic power, while the physical form, actions, and combat consume more magic power. Berserker is the one that consumes the most magic power among the seven classes. Even if the uncle prepared rune stones to store magic power in advance, he may not be able to bear such consumption.

The contract between the Master and the Servant in the Holy Grail War is very overbearing. If the Master cannot generate enough magic power, his vitality will be forcibly squeezed until he is exhausted.

Lancelot's obsession with his master Artoria is extraordinary. His uncle has just graduated from the rookie level and can only barely control her. If this continues, his uncle's body will -

Thinking of this, Shinji knew he couldn't stand by and watch any longer.

"Justisa, go to your uncle and help him suppress the out-of-control Berserker. You should be able to do it."

"There is a way... but—" There was obvious hesitation in Justisa's voice.

Shinji, in his youthful state, showed a decisiveness that matched his appearance. He raised his hand slightly behind him and said, "That's all. Once you regain control of Berserker, take Uncle away immediately. We can talk after he's rested."

"I understand. Einzbern's side—"

"I will ask the Master to follow them."

Shinji responded to Yustisa's concerns in a calm tone, and added another sentence silently in his mind.

There is more than one big show tonight, how could I miss it.

"learn."

Justisa's unique voice and breath moved away and quickly disappeared from Shinji's perception.

... ...

In a warehouse on one side of the battlefield, Kariya was laughing.

Although he looked tired and haggard, not at all as fresh and clean as usual, it did not affect his good mood which was about to take off.

The result of his hard work, the resentment and anger that had been suppressed for many years, were released in one day, and Kariya's brain was trembling.

"Haha." sneered.

I did it.

"Humph. Haha." A dry laugh.

Finally, that arrogant magician, the guy who looked down on ordinary people, was made to look bad.

"Ahahahahaha." Laughing.

This is just the beginning. I will break your arrogant mask bit by bit, Toosaka Tokiomi!

The wanton, unrestrained laughter caused protests from his lungs, and the tingling in his nerves gradually restored Kariya’s composure.

At this moment, he felt something was wrong. It was not only his lungs that protested against his brain, but every part of his body was protesting against the loss of vitality. The little magic power in his body had long been exhausted, and the master-slave contract began to squeeze his vitality.

The battle tonight ended here. Archer, the old enemy, retreated. There was no reason to endure the pain and fight again. The other Servants were left to fight each other.

Just when Kariya was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Berserker locked onto his next target, Saber, and began to charge towards her.

The most embarrassed person at this moment was Kariya himself.

"Stop! Come back! Berserker!"

Kariya called out to his Servant, conveying his worry and anxiety.

Such a simple instruction could easily be transmitted to Berserker from where Kariya was standing, but the black knight did not respond at all. Instead, he became even more excited and craved for magic power from his Master.

"Berserker! Stop it!"

Kariya trembled as he took out a rune stone, preparing to replenish his magic power and take back control of Berserker, but the severe pain made his hands weak, and he couldn't even do a simple "pinch" action.

The pain became more and more severe, and his body shook more and more violently. Yan Ye could no longer stand and fell to his knees. The rune stone flew out of his hand and was about to fall to the ground with a crisp sound.

"No, you must use the Command Spell."

Kariya was no longer allowed to hesitate. He tried to gather his last bit of consciousness before being swallowed by the torrent of pain.

"Give orders with the Command Spell—"

However, the characters that were squeezed out with great difficulty were interrupted by the magic power that was suddenly injected into the body.

The rune stone did not fall to the ground, but was picked up and crushed just before it hit the ground.

The magic power generated and stored by Kariya returned to Kariya's body again, making up for the consumption of Berserker and gradually relieving the pain in the Master's body.

Having finally regained control of his body, Kariya raised his head with difficulty and looked towards the familiar figure.

"Justisa?"

... ...

The black knight kicked the asphalt off the road with the momentum of a ferocious beast and advanced towards Saber. There was only Saber in his eyes, and his whole body was filled with black murderous aura.

Needless to say, Saber did not dare to be careless at all and immediately picked up her sword again to defend herself.

"-call out."

Berserker hurled the weapon in his hand toward Saber's head with a terrifying momentum as he clung to the ground.

Saber fearlessly blocked Berserker's attack with her invisible sword, but when Saber saw the true face of the weapon, she was stunned.

That was an iron pillar, the remains of a street lamp where Archer had just stood, which Berserker picked up and used as a weapon.

Holding the two-meter-long, broken iron filings in his hand like a gun, Berserker pressed towards Saber's sword with terrifying force. But what was surprising was not Berserker's arm strength, but the fact that the so-called weapon was just a pile of iron filings.

Saber's sword hidden in the Wind King's barrier is the most precious sword among all swords, an unparalleled supreme treasure that can truly cut through iron like mud.

If it has the strength to fight against Saber's sword, the only thing that comes to mind is the Noble Phantasm of a Heroic Spirit.

However, Berserker is now using this iron pillar to fight against Saber's sword.

The iron pillar has been dyed black, and red stripes like leaf veins have been wrapped around it layer by layer, and are still spreading on it.

The ink-like black and the branch-like red appeared.asxs.the two hands of Berserker. Starting from the place where the black hand armor grasped, the black and red expanded like a spider's web to the entire iron pillar.

That was Berserker's magic, soaked in murderous intent and hatred, the magic of the Black Knight.

This magic power permeated the entire iron pillar through the hand.

Saber, Lancer, Rider, and Assassin understood the effect of Berserker's Noble Phantasm at the same time.

"Obtaining ownership of a Noble Phantasm is only one of the uses of 'Knights Do Not Die Unarmed'. Another use is to use magic to give the object in your hand the attributes of a D-level Noble Phantasm, which is considered a qualitative change caused by the extreme of 'Enhanced Magic'."

Although there was no listener, Shinji was still talking to himself, and his imagination was becoming more and more wild - if Emiya Shirou's attribute was not a sword but a strengthening one, maybe he could eventually reach this point.

"In theory, if the magic power is infinite, Lancelot can grab the earth upside down and turn the entire earth into his treasure, so that's why Type-Moon can walk across the Four Heavenly Kings."

That's right, even with the limitation of magic power, Lancelot still possesses nearly infinite treasures and the martial arts to control them. This is his strength.

Second strike.

The third strike.

Berserker used his beautiful spear throwing skills to repeatedly press Saber.

Saber could only passively defend herself, her left hand holding the hilt without any strength.

The wound caused by Lancer's Noble Phantasm, the Yellow Rose, began to hurt again. Saber wielded the sword with only her right hand, barely fighting with the support of magic, but her swordsmanship was far less flexible than before.

However, facing Berserker's fierce and raging attack, Saber, who was in poor condition, found it increasingly difficult to even hold on, let alone counterattack.

"Saber!"

Irisviel called out anxiously, and beads of sweat appeared on the Knight King's forehead without him noticing.
