Berserker, who was in a violent state, turned a blind eye to the other heroic spirits present, uprooted a small tree and rushed towards Arturia.
This unconventional weapon is difficult to use, as the overgrown branches and roots prevent the user from wielding it smoothly.
But Lancelot possesses the Noble Phantasm that prevents knights from dying with bare hands. Any item that can be recognized as a "weapon" can be upgraded to a D-level Noble Phantasm in his hands.
The difficult-to-use tree-shaped weapon became powerful under Lancelot's swing, and it was able to stand still for a moment even when it collided with Arturia's holy spear.
However, it is still difficult for a D-level Noble Phantasm to last long when faced with a Holy Spear that can reach the highest A++ level.
Although Artoria was confused about the identity of this berserker, she quickly put aside unnecessary distractions when she entered the fighting state, and used her superb marksmanship to destroy the Noble Phantasm tree in Lancelot's hand bit by bit.
"Bang!"
The final blow that pierced the trunk split the Noble Phantasm-shaped tree into two halves in the middle. When everyone onlookers thought that Arturia was about to win, Berserker suddenly made an astonishing move.
"clang!"
Berserker's hands wearing black gauntlets managed to narrowly clamp the tip of the spear thrust into his eyes. Not only Arturia, but also all the Heroic Spirits and Masters watching the battle showed surprised expressions.
"Oh?"
Gilgamesh raised his eyebrows slightly: "A mere rabid dog is quite capable."
At Tosaka's mansion in the distant town of Miyama, Tokiomi humbly made a request to Gilgamesh.
"King of Heroes, please cooperate with Lancelot to kill Lancer, or at least test out her..."
"Shut up! Tokiomi!"
Gilgamesh angrily scolded through the contract connected with his master: "Before I decided to attend the banquet, I made a promise to the conquering king. I would not use force at the king's banquet. Do you want me to break the promise?"
"
"But……"
"Enough!"
Gilgamesh's face turned gloomy and he disappeared in the small garden of the castle, leaving only his last warning at the scene.
"The heroic spirits who have left legends in history, try your best to survive. I will patiently wait for the challenger to arrive."
Iskandar looked sideways at the place where Gilgamesh disappeared, and quickly returned his attention to the battle between Berserker and Artoria. The long sword that summoned the wheel of power had been drawn out, and he could attack Altoria at any time.
Tolia provides support.
Berserker unconsciously let out ghostly roars during the battle, and occasionally mixed some "Arthur"-like roars into his unformed words.
In terms of martial arts alone, Lancelot, who has infinite inherent skills and martial arts training, is even better than Arturia. The high panel attributes of the berserker job also allow him to gradually suppress Arturia in close combat.
signs.
Regardless of whether she is a sword or a lance, Arturia Pendragon possesses a strong sense of combat. Certain attacks that her brain cannot make evasive judgments will cause her body to react instinctively.
Without riding horses, the battle between Arturia and Lancelot barely maintained a 37-open situation, with more defense and less attack.
Although Lancelot's fighting style of picking up things from anywhere and using them as treasure phantoms was very changeable, Arturia still saw some familiar traces in his attack routines.
"Could it be?"
"Ahhhhh!"
Picking up the shovel and smashing it down, Lancelot used his stronger strength to knock Arturia back.
At the Tosaka Residence, Tokiomi clenched the ruby scepter in his hand with an aggrieved look on his face. Gilgamesh's shameless scolding made him, who had always been elegant, a little embarrassed.
Tokiomi's embarrassed look made Kotomine Kirei's mouth curl up slightly unconsciously: "Master, what should I do next? Do you want to use the last command spell to call Berserker back?"
"Huh~"
The furious Tokiomi tried his best to adjust his breathing, and after thinking about it for a moment, he gave the order with a cold face.
"No, use the last command spell to make a gamble and order Berserker to give up the attack on Lancer and instead use all his strength to kill Assassin."
A strange look flashed in Kotomine Kirei's eyes: "My master, there are multiple heroic spirits in the castle. If they help Assassin..."
"No."
Tokiomi's eyes flashed with calculation: "Not just us, Lancer's Master and Rider must also hope to see some of Assassin's trump cards. There is a high possibility that they will sit on the sidelines in this battle."
"If berserker can defeat Assassin, which is the best result, we can get a command spell supplement from Father Risei."
"If not, at least let Assassin reveal more clues about his identity in a difficult battle."
The true name of the heroic spirit is very important. Once the true name is known, the master can use the weaknesses and loopholes left by the opponent in the legend to formulate targeted tactics.
The mystery of assassin is that no one knows his true identity, so naturally no plan can be made against him.
However, Tokiomi actually had other ideas when he asked Kotomine Kirei to use the last stroke of the Command Seal to issue such an order that carried the risk of self-destruction.
Kotomine Kirei is indeed his disciple and ally, but there will only be one winner in the Holy Grail War in the end, and even allies have to guard against it.
If Gilgamesh could completely obey Tokiomi's orders, he wouldn't have to guard against Kirei's Lancelot, but Gilgamesh's increasingly bad attitude made Tokiomi feel uneasy.
He was not sure that when an emergency occurred, Gilgamesh would respond to his call and come over as soon as possible.
'The last stroke of the Command Seal must be reserved for Gilgamesh, and the remaining strokes of the Command Seal must be used with caution, Kirei, I'm sorry.'
Seeing that Tokiomi had made up his mind, Kotomine Kirei stopped trying to persuade him and expressionlessly raised his right hand with only the command incantation left.
"Berserker, command him with a command spell and attack the assassin with all his strength."
…
"Ugh!"
After receiving the command of the Command Seal, Lancelot's body suddenly stiffened for a moment during the battle. Arturia, who was fighting closely with him, immediately seized this opportunity.
In the midst of doubts, Artoria did not attack the enemy's vital points. Instead, she swept across with her spear and knocked away the berserker who had stopped moving.
"boom!"
The berserker that was shot to the outer wall of the castle stirred up a large amount of dust. Arturia pointed the spear at the fallen berserker with a solemn expression.
"Who are you, Your Excellency? Why do you hate me so much? Tell me your name!"
"Uh...uhhhhhhhhh!"
The thick black mist around Berserker's body suddenly boiled. He ignored Arturia's question and immediately changed direction after standing up, rushing towards Lu Xiao who had been watching the show with his hands folded.
"Um?"
Lu Xiao did not expect such a change and was somewhat unprepared to face unexpected situations.
However, relying on his A+ agility, Lu Xiao leaned back in an iron bridge position when Berserker took off and kicked, and narrowly avoided the enemy flying from above.
Using his left hand to support the ground, Lu Xiao maintained an irregular recumbent posture and kicked out in the direction where Berserker flew. The toe of the Hermes boots immediately popped out with a sharp blade.
"Qiang!"
The sound of metal colliding was heard, and the armor on Berserker's back was scraped with a long white mark by the blade of his boot.
"oh?"
Iskandar's eyes widened slightly as he watched from the sidelines, and Arturia also showed a surprised expression. Apparently, neither of them expected that Berserker would suddenly change the target of attack.
"Webb."
Iskandar patted his Master on the shoulder and asked seriously: "Is that the restraining effect of the command spell? It can actually force berserker, who has a strong obsession with the King of Knights, to attack Assassin instead."
"Well, it shouldn't be wrong."
Weber activated his detection magic and scanned back and forth on both sides of the war.
Compared with the forged attributes of Assassin, Berserker is more completely hidden under the effect of the Noble Phantasm "Not for His Own Glory", and Weber cannot see any of his attributes at all.
Arturia temporarily retreated to Kiritsugu and Maiya: "Master, do we want to help the assassin? That berserker seems to have some connection with me. If I can defeat him, I hope to keep his life temporarily."
"No."
Emiya Kiritsugu's eyes flickered as he watched the scene of the two heroic spirits fighting.
"We'll wait and see what happens for the time being. Depending on the situation, you may be needed to help Berserker attack Assassin together."
Seeing the surprised look on Arturia's face, Kiritsugu took a deep drag on the cigarette in his mouth.
"Huh~ don't forget, Aili is still in his hands. You also have a promise to Illya to fulfill, right?"
