Chapter 520: The Human Completion Begins
Pfft!
Golden Qi pierced through his eye sockets, and the dark giant stood still, seemingly frozen, but the next moment, as a massive rock crashed down from above,
An incredibly violent roar erupted.
Roar!
Boom!
With a horizontal slash of his axe-sword, hundreds of meters of giant rocks and already accumulated sand were instantly cleared as if exploding.
There was no longer any obstruction between Bai Cangshu and Berserker.
This dark giant possessed an unimaginable keenness towards enemies; not only did he realize that Bai Cangshu had not sustained a fatal injury, but his revival speed was also faster than Bai Cangshu had imagined.
Whiz!
Golden Qi condensed again and shot out with a bang, but as expected, it struck Heracles without any effect, directly bouncing off.
Is this the Twelve Labors…
In Bai Cangshu's eyes, countless information converged, and the transparent Heart Vortex seemed to envelop Berserker as the dark giant suddenly accelerated and descended from the sky.
Amidst the furious dance of his axe-sword, he delivered a powerful slash.
Bai Cangshu stepped on air, and the next moment, he flew upwards like a broken line.
Air Dance!
Bai Cangshu displayed his flying ability; even if the consumption of Qi would increase, he instantly intersected with Heracles.
Boom!
That slash landed in the underground leyline, and terrifying vibrations began to violently shake the surroundings, as if an earthquake had begun.
To prevent the magic-storing leyline from being damaged by the two of them, Bai Cangshu consciously began to fly upwards, with Heracles, like a rampaging destroyer, in hot pursuit.
When Bai Cangshu broke through the ground and arrived at the dilapidated Ryudoji Temple, the others had already disappeared.
Bang!
The dark giant also reached the surface.
Bai Cangshu knew he might have missed a good hidden quest or hidden plot: why was the Berserker, corrupted by black mud, hiding there with Emiya Kiritsugu?
Who was the true identity of the golden-haired woman he saw in Emiya Kiritsugu's mind? Was she that Crimson Moon?
These matters would likely become difficult to uncover for a while with the disappearance of the cave.
But he no longer cared much.
A more intuitive power had appeared before him.
Creak, creak…
Bai Cangshu's physique began to expand little by little; he was using Life Return to consciously alter his physical form.
It wasn't to enhance his combat power, but to… better experience Heracles's state.
In fact, to experience the feeling of being consumed by madness, Bai Cangshu deliberately removed the Killing Intent Engraving - Restriction from his earlobe.
Whoosh!
Crimson Killing Intent Ripple, like a mountain fire, began to burn behind Bai Cangshu, and in Bai Cangshu's pearly white eyes, the Killing Intent Ripple flickered like a red speck of light.
"Ha~"
"You've also been craving an opponent like me, haven't you, Berserker…?"
"No, Heracles!"
The dark giant's body stooped slightly, and the next moment, a terrifying roar echoed through the mountains, met by a chilling, maniacal laugh.
—
"Those two guys…"
Rin Tohsaka felt some lingering fear; even after leaving that area, she could still hear the sound of that violent force shaking the leylines.
She didn't need to bend down to hear the ground; she could feel the continuous vibrations.
Those were two monsters who had completely transcended the human realm.
Emiya also frowned; he had sustained many injuries, and this Berserker possessed a daunting combat ability.
Not only in destructive power, strength, and defense, but even in close-quarters combat skills, he was no match.
Yes, a Berserker who should have lost his sanity in madness and been unable to use most techniques, used that overly large, clumsy axe-sword to suppress Emiya, who wielded dual blades.
"That guy, he's a bit abnormal…"
Emiya wanted to say something but didn't know how to describe it.
But he certainly felt a great strangeness and discomfort from Tao Pai Pai.
He had never heard of a Servant Servant being able to fight Berserker head-on, let alone seemingly suppressing the others on the field.
Moreover, Tao Pai Pai's previous actions were also quite bizarre.
Looking at it now, rather than saying that the mysterious Master was arranging Tao Pai Pai's actions, it seemed more like this Servant was orchestrating everything himself.
Whether it was gathering them all together, claiming to confront some powerful White Mask, he had never seen the White Mask appear.
He only heard from Saber and others that Gilgamesh had indeed appeared.
According to current information, Gilgamesh was not a Servant who appeared in this Holy Grail War, but rather a Servant who survived until the end of the previous Holy Grail War.
"This Holy Grail War, there's a problem…"
Rin Tohsaka, of course, also noticed this; so far, it seemed no Servant had died.
Under Tao Pai Pai's arrangement, they had not fought each other but had all been gathered together, as if… waiting for something.
Rin Tohsaka and Emiya quickly ran down the mountain and soon saw Emiya Shirou and Saber waiting at the foot of the mountain.
And also… Emiya Kiritsugu.
At this moment, this man with vacant eyes leaned in the rain and mist, not too close to the others.
Suddenly, Emiya Kiritsugu seemed to sense something, and the others also simultaneously turned to look towards the city.
There, a huge explosion suddenly occurred.
A massive mushroom cloud, like a scene from the apocalypse, erupted from the center and swept outwards.
The heat was so intense that it could be felt even tens of kilometers away.
"Is that… a nuclear explosion?!"
Rin Tohsaka didn't know how to speak, her voice trembling.
Emiya Shirou instinctively looked at his adoptive father.
Emiya Kiritsugu looked at the sky, and the next moment, a giant magic circle appeared, the explosion slowly contracting inwards, and even the surging airwaves wrinkled back.
Some extremely sophisticated magic was being cast…
"Perhaps, it's not magic…"
Emiya Kiritsugu clutched his heart, inexplicably feeling that there was some special person or entity residing there.
"Shirou, you wait here with Saber for a while, I'll go see…"
"I want to go too!"
Before Emiya Kiritsugu could finish, Emiya Shirou interrupted his adoptive father with a firm tone; he didn't want to lose his adoptive father again, didn't want to lose track of him again.
And… at this moment, he was not powerless.
With that, he looked at the golden-haired Servant lady; he trusted Saber with all his heart, he accepted his powerlessness, but he still wanted to uphold his justice in his own way.
He absolutely refused to wait here and let others face danger.
The red-haired youth raised his hand, the crimson Command Seal on the back of his hand dazzlingly bright, and he smiled at his adoptive father, saying,
"I am now Saber's Master!"
"The Master of the most excellent Servant!"
Saber looked at the youth, who was completely different from Emiya Kiritsugu, and her eyes softened considerably.
Clang.
She plunged her sword into the ground and stood in front of Emiya Shirou.
Emiya looked at the youth's actions, his eyelids lowered; perhaps it was precisely because of this that he wanted to… kill himself…
The group returned to the city, moving against the large crowds fleeing for their lives, and arrived at the location of the explosion, watching the intense magical power scatter.
A massive golden-red battle armor wreckage lay in a shopping street, with a huge hole in its chest, and only blood inside.
And in front, outside a huge barrier, a Short Hair woman merely swung her blade once, and the barrier covering several city blocks shattered with a crack.
Revealing the Heroic King inside, covered in black mud and constantly distorting.
And in the sky, translucent fields in perfect hexagonal shapes completely isolated a white-robed girl in the air.
She was covered in blood, her neck already severed, but she was still smiling.
At the Heroic King's feet, large ripple-like things began to spread outwards, with some kind of text flowing within those ripples.
