Walking in the Question and Answer System of Heroic Spirits

[It has to be said, the combination of a cute little girl and a muscular hunk is just too incongruous.]

Rin Tohsaka's expression was solemn. As the heir to the Tohsaka family, she naturally knew some information about the Einzbern family.

[The big guy next to her, with that irrational look in his eyes, was definitely a Berserker.]

[But what kind of monster is this?! It's nearly three meters tall, and its wrists are almost as thick as my waist!]

Standing before Hercules, she felt as if she might be torn to pieces at any moment.

Kaules: "I have to say, Hercules was really too oppressive."

Rin Tohsaka: "Yeah, with such a huge size, who wouldn't be scared?"

Ilya: "Of course, Berserker is invincible!"

Rin Tohsaka: "Even if you were invincible, it wouldn't be for you now."

Ilya: "(｀^)"

"Good evening, big brother. This is our second time meeting."

Illya wore a sweet smile, as if she had simply brought Berserker to visit Shirou Emiya.

[In this way, those who are unaware of the situation might actually be fooled by her.]

Ilya stepped forward gracefully, touching the hem of her skirt as she greeted, "Nice to meet you. I am Ilya, Illyasviel von Einzbern."

Upon hearing this name, Shirou Emiya looked completely bewildered.

[What? Such a long name! Are they European?]

Afu: "Women are indeed born actors."

The women in the group: "Mmm!!!"

Afu: "Private Marseille (ΩДΩ)".

Chapter 426 VS Hercules (Part 1)

(I had something to do yesterday and missed an update. Sorry.)

[Looking at Berserker, Artoria had already entered battle stance.]

The massive figure before her was definitely not just a tough cookie; the terrifying aura it constantly emanated made her heart pound.

[And that ridiculous weapon in their hand—it's neither a knife nor an axe, made of what looks like stone. Could a human really wield that?]

Furthermore, the opponent wasn't even wearing armor, only a heavy skirt armor. How confident must they be in their physical abilities?

[So engrossed in observing Hercules, she completely missed Ilya's self-introduction and failed to recognize her.]

"That's truly amazing..."

Rin Tohsaka also noticed this and exclaimed in shock, "If we only look at abilities, that monster's stats are actually higher than Saber's!"

"This is terrifying... With this monster's strength, it could easily take on six Heroic Spirits by itself."

Archer (Red Archer) is hiding beside Rin Tohsaka, ready to run away with her at any time.

As for Emiya Shirou, who is he? I'm not familiar with him.

Everyone: "..."

No matter how many times I watch it, I still find this scene utterly absurd.

How much does Archer hate his younger self? Every word he utters is a wish for Shirou Emiya to die.

"In other words, this is not an opponent that can be dealt with by brute force alone..."

Rin Tohsaka whispered, "Archer, this time we need to stick to your usual attack methods."

[Red A: "In that case, how do we defend? You won't be able to withstand that guy's attacks, will you?"]

Rin Tohsaka naturally understood Archer's meaning, but she immediately rejected his suggestion.

[Selling out Shirou Emiya and using the opportunity to escape is not in my style.]

[Rin Tohsaka's subtle actions naturally didn't escape Illya's notice, but she didn't seem to care.]

Because Berserker is the strongest!

Tokiomi Tohsaka: "Sigh..."

He didn't know how to evaluate Rin Tohsaka's mindset in the video.

Kindness is good, but in the Holy Grail War, it can become a death sentence.

[Rin Tohsaka: "There are three of us here. If we can hold out, we should have a chance."]

Red A: "...Understood."

[Red A had no choice but to run quickly towards the tall building two kilometers away.]

He planned to go there to provide remote support to Rin Tohsaka; the 2-kilometer distance was considered absolutely safe.

[After all, judging by those massive legs, the opponent could probably jump over a hundred meters away in one leap.]

"Let's begin! Go, Berserker!"

[Ilya gave the instructions in a cute way.]

【"aaaaaa——"】

Hercules, standing behind her, roared.

[Video paused.]

[Question: What will be the outcome of this battle?]

[A: Hercules wins.]

[B: Artoria and Red A win.]

[C: A third party intervenes, and the battle is aborted.]

[D: Hercules retreats on his own, ending the battle.]

[You have 1 minutes to answer the questions. Please begin now.]

Zabiko: "This won't be a multiple-choice question anymore, right?"

Weber: "Probably not. If this is also a multiple-choice question, then there will be too many branches in the Fifth World War."

Ilya: "Berserker is the strongest! He'll definitely win!"

Uncle B: "aaaaaa——"

Junior Director: "..."

Achilles: "I also believe in Heracles' strength; he's not someone who's easily defeated."

In terms of pure strength, Hercules does have a high chance of winning, but there's always the risk of unforeseen circumstances.

Unexpected events are common occurrences in the Holy Grail War.

[Time's up, the quiz is over.]

[The answers will now be revealed.]

【"aaaaaa——"】

Hercules roared, his muscles bulged, and the path beneath his feet instantly crumbled.

[Simply entering battle stance, the magical power spreading within his body was like a raging storm.]

The next moment, Hercules leaped into the air, his massive body soaring more than ten meters off the ground, charging towards Shirou Emiya.

Even though he had lost his mind, Hercules still possessed a very clear logic in combat.

Pick the softest persimmons first.

[After killing the weakest Shirou Emiya with a single sword strike, I can then conveniently deal with the Servant who has lost their Master. Perfect.]

With Shirou Emiya's small physique, let alone taking a direct hit, even being caught in the aftershocks of Hercules' battle would likely be fatal.

Emiya Shirou: "..."

Why did they target him?! Everyone wants him dead!

Don't be such a bully!

[Red A, already in position, immediately launched an attack, dozens of arrows tracking Heracles and striking him.]

[“Boom!”]

The magical arrows exploded, engulfing Hercules in a series of blasts.

Unfortunately, the explosion, powerful enough to destroy the building, only stopped Hercules in his tracks; it caused no damage whatsoever.

A crater ten meters in diameter had been blasted into the ground beneath Hercules' feet, yet not a single hair on his head had fallen.

King of Conquerors: "Such a powerful physique! No wonder he is the great hero Hercules!"

Diarmuid: "The strength of this body is probably comparable to a Noble Phantasm. Just breaking through this defense will take a lot of effort."

Sharpshooter Li: "Hahaha, not bad, I really want to have a match with him."

Sharpshooter Li: "It's a pity he doesn't use a gun."
