One soul, two twins, the other half is Bronya

"When did Saber become so weak?"

Shinji was a little confused. He had seen Saber before, and she was very strong then, so she couldn't be this bad, right? Until he saw Emiya Shirou... well, this was because of the Master holding him back~

"You two, I'm going to get on."

Shinji greeted Rin Tōsaka and Shirou beside him, then, with one hand on Tensa Zangetsu, rushed towards the front of the battlefield. As he ran, the Build Driver appeared, and then...

"Hensin!"

Accompanied by a sound effect, two mold-like doors appeared and pressed towards Shinji fiercely... Metal Build made a brilliant appearance.

With the added power of the Build Armor, Shinji's attributes were further enhanced. Under the shroud of night, the Tensa Zangetsu, with its completely black blade reflecting no light, struck towards Uncle B's neck.

However, Uncle B noticed Shinji's sudden attack, and his scarlet and violent eyes locked onto Tensa Zangetsu, and then... the remaining fighting instinct from his lifetime drove him to move.

Leaning back to avoid Shinji's blade, he used his hands and feet to launch a fierce attack on Saber and Shinji. With the blessing of his huge ability value, any part of his body can become a deadly weapon.

Even though Saber and Shinji were consciously cooperating, they were still knocked back a distance by Uncle B.

——This guy is so strong!

258. Immortality

"Is that really the Master?"

While Saber and Shinji were surprised, Illya was even more surprised than them—how could a human being withstand Berserker's attack?!

"Kill them, Berserker."

The innocent voice seemed to have no malice at all, it just wanted to do it, nothing more.

???

Oh my goodness, is this really Illya? As expected... for a person, upbringing is very important. Shinji sighed inwardly, the Illya in this world was so different from the one he knew.

However, he quickly gathered his thoughts and focused on the battle - after receiving Illya's instructions, Uncle B exploded again!

"Roar--"

Like a ferocious beast, Uncle B's aura, which should have been invisible, almost solidified into a substance, crushing the two men fiercely. Then, Uncle B exerted force with his legs, crushing the ground with one foot and rushing towards the two.

“Fuck, again…”

Shinji felt very difficult to deal with Uncle B, but this was no reason for him to back down. He was a man trained by Scathach and never lacked the courage to fight.

The dark compound eyes flickered with light, and Shinji took the lead to meet Uncle B. His speed was even faster than Saber, and the Tensa Zangetsu in his hand pointed directly at the opponent's neck.

Uncle B had no thoughts about this. He was a Berserker, and his fighting was based on instinct, not overthinking.

The stone axe and sword smashed down fiercely, suppressing Shinji with pure physical strength.

But Shinji is not fighting alone.

Saber rushed in from behind, the invisible holy sword stabbing at Uncle B at a tricky angle. Unfortunately, Uncle B seemed to have sensed it and nimbly avoided the blade, even having enough time to counterattack.

Accompanied by a strong wind, Uncle B's right leg swept past quickly, and the power was no less than that of a sword.

Fortunately, Saber was agile enough to dodge in time.

In this way, the three of them gradually moved the battlefield during the battle, and came to a nearby empty cemetery. At this point, Red A was finally able to relax a little.

After a few more rounds of fighting, Toosaka Rin suddenly rushed into the battlefield and threw out the gem she had treasured for a long time, "Archer!"

——As the Master of Red A, she is the only one who can communicate with the other party in real time and form the most perfect cooperation.

The gems shattered and turned into pieces of barriers that enveloped Uncle B, restricting his movements.

"Oh, is Archer going to take action?"

Shinji also noticed Toosaka Rin's intention, jumped back and withdrew from the battle circle, then pressed one hand on the ground... a barrier rose up, amplifying Toosaka Rin's technique.

At this point, under the cover of the double-layer spell, even Uncle B was restrained for a while and was forced to the ground by the heavy pressure.

"Really strong."

Shinji estimated that this technique could only last a moment, and Berserker would soon break free. However... he looked up at the night sky. "The rest of the story depends on you."

Several arrows came from afar, wrapped in red magic, and fell at the most appropriate time.

"boom--!"

A small mushroom cloud slowly rose. Tsk tsk, it really is another day of nuclear destruction in Fuyuki City~

After Red A's bombing, the cemetery was partially blasted open, and flames burned across the ground. However, amidst this, Uncle B's tall and mighty figure emerged, without even a scratch on his body.

“This is impossible!”

How could it be unscathed from that level of bombing?! Shinji was shocked, and soon had a guess—Byakuya and Scathach's teachings had greatly broadened his horizons. "Is it immortality, or perhaps self-healing?"

"Roar--"

When Uncle B recovered, the battle broke out again. Swords flashed, gravel flew...Shinji and Saber joined forces, supporting each other and holding Uncle B back.

With roars, the three men plowed several furrows in the cemetery like demolition workers.

"This won't work."

Seeing that the two of them had been unable to defeat each other for a long time, Tohsaka Rin clenched her fists slightly and finally made up her mind. However... before that, she still had to make arrangements for Emiya Shirou, after all, he might become her "brother-in-law".

At least at this stage, Toosaka Rin still regards Shirou as her brother-in-law.

"Hey, listen up!"

She cast her gaze in Illya's direction and warned Emiya Shirou before leaving, "Run away quickly."

Emiya Shirou was speechless. Until tonight, he was just an ordinary person. He knew a little bit of magic, but how could he possibly get involved in a battle like this?

but……

"Should I say he's worthy of being called the 'protagonist'?"

At this moment, in the woods not far away, Bai Ye was leaning leisurely against a big tree, and even had the leisure to drink a sip of wine - after all, with his strength, no one could discover him.

He saw Emiya Shirou hesitate for a moment, then quickly made up his mind to follow Toosaka Rin. This courage alone was commendable.

Then, he turned his gaze back to the church. "Oh, are the Joyful Duo meeting too?"

He could probably imagine that at this moment, the dark church was probably echoing with the joyful laughter of the two people.

……

On the other side, Toosaka Rin successfully caught up with Illya, and then was severely taught a lesson by the other party's controlled demon. If it weren't for the support of Red A, she would probably have been killed.

As for Red A... He's a guardian, or a "scavenger," and killing is his forte. Of course, he could pinpoint Illya's location. But she's his sister, so how could he possibly lay hands on her?

“Clang, clang—!”

The battle in the cemetery continues.

Saber held the holy sword and seized the opportunity created by Shinji. She rushed in front of Uncle B and thrust out a sword, pointing it directly at the opponent's heart.

"Pfft~"

Blood splattered.

The holy sword pierced through Uncle B's hand, but was stuck by the solid muscles and bones, failing to achieve Saber's expectations. However... this is not over yet~

——The Wind King’s Hammer!

Saber released the Wind King barrier, and a violent hurricane erupted in one direction, piercing Uncle B's heart with one blow. At this point, Uncle B finally calmed down and stopped moving.

"Huh, that's the end..."

!!!

Shinji was speaking when he suddenly became alert. At the same time, Saber also noticed something strange—the Berserker, who should have been dead in their eyes, had stood up again!

"I see. A Noble Phantasm?"

—It wasn’t that the previous attack was ineffective, but rather that Berserker had already regenerated when the smoke and dust obscured his vision, so he appeared unscathed.

Of course, we can't rule out the possibility that the previous attack wasn't strong enough and the opponent just took it. "But this kind of immortality is quite tricky~"

259. Hercules

Almost immediately, Shinji grabbed Saber's hand and pulled her back. He could already sense a faint sense of danger coming from afar. Archer?

After retreating a certain distance, the accumulated power was complete, and he suddenly kicked out a dark track with a roundhouse kick - Rider Kick!

At the same time, Red A's spiral sword (arrow) also arrived.

A streak of light streaked across the night sky, flashing across the city before finally falling towards Berserker.

"boom--!"

With a loud bang, a larger mushroom cloud rose from the night sky. A terrifying gust of wind, carrying a heat wave, spread out, melting the earth into huge orange-red pits, which were molten rock.

"That's a bit outrageous~"

Witnessing the destructive power of that arrow, Shinji felt he probably wouldn't be able to catch it... Tsk, tsk, is this Archer? Sure enough, compared to these Heroic Spirits, he's still a little behind.

But there are exceptions. Thinking of this, Shinji turned his gaze to Saber beside him...

Unfortunately, this time she was dragged down by Shirou Emiya. If a fight really broke out, as long as he paid attention to avoiding Saber's Noble Phantasm, he might have a chance of winning.

(Saber:??? Are you polite?)

Of course, because Shinji was covered in armor, Saber couldn't see his eyes. But relying on her ancestral intuition, she still felt vaguely as if she had been offended again?

A huge fire burned in the cemetery, and a dark figure, as if cast from steel, stood in the midst of it—it was Berserker! Even under such an attack, he remained unshaken.

"Isn't this Noble Phantasm supermodel?"

Seeing this scene, Shinji thought it was outrageous and planned to ask Brother Bai Ye when he had time to at least have a general understanding.

"Not bad, Rin~"

Illya's innocent and lovely voice rang out, but after the previous battle, no one would be confused by it - she was dangerous! Even though she looked like a child.

At this moment, pale golden spirit particles gathered and condensed into the figure of Sasaki Kojiro beside Shinji, "Hey, Master, Lord Bai Ye ordered me to come and help."

"...Okay, come back, Berserker."

Seeing that the opposing camp had one more servant, Illya finally decided to retreat after weighing the pros and cons.

"What, you want to escape?"

Toosaka Rin was quite rude, but she didn't expect Illya to agree directly:

"Yes, I changed my mind. Although I don't need Saber, I am very interested in your Archer. Also, that big brother is really strong~"

Illya stood at the edge of the fire, waiting for Uncle B to come over very obediently, looking super cute, "That's all for this time, bye~ Let's play together again when we have time, Onii-chan~"

There was silence.

"It looks like tonight is over."

After a long while, Shinji spoke slowly, the dark armor on his body fading and dissipating. "Then Rin, Shirou, I'll be leaving first."

This time, Emiya Shirou wasn't injured, so he didn't need their special care. Shinji said goodbye to the two of them and left with Sasaki Kojiro.

"That rascal……"

Then came Toosaka Rin. She was as blunt as ever. "Then I'll be leaving too. We'll be enemies next time we meet, so be prepared."

"Hey, Tousaka!"

Even though there was a lack of communication this time, Emiya Shirou still unconsciously called out to Tousaka Rin, worthy of being the face of a woman in trouble, "Um...thank you for before."

"Huh? We are enemies!"

"But Toosaka did help me a lot, didn't she? Of course, and Mumei too." As he said this, Shirou Emiya scratched his head, looking very honest. After all, this guy is a good guy.

"……,Fool."

After hearing this, Tōsaka Rin remained silent for a moment, then left without saying anything. Once she was a good distance away, she cursed softly, a voice only she could hear.

At this point, the battle that night was over.
