Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War!

Chapter 9. The Mysterious Berserker!

"The fighting outside is so intense, are you really alright?"

Matou Kariya stood in the courtyard, watching Sakura running happily ahead, and asked the "person" beside him.

He was wearing jet-black armor and a double-horned helmet that obscured his face.

They had no idea which country the hero came from or which legend he was from.

He's less a hero and more like a demon king from a story.

Just by standing next to him, Yan Ye already felt immense pressure from his invisible aura.

So much so that he never dared to speak too loudly.

"."

Shaking his head without answering, the servant seemed "unmoved".

"Is that so? Now I can only trust your judgment."

"I just hope she can grow up healthy."

"It's too dangerous to get involved in such a dispute."

Whether the other party was too disdainful to answer or was unable to speak due to the influence of the "Berserk" element, Kariya could only agree.

After the elder was captured and killed by this Servant, he looked at Sakura, who had regained her freedom, and had no regrets.

Now, all we can hope for is that the other side can get through this war safely.

If possible, it wouldn't matter if he became the "sacrifice" instead.

It's fine when there's no fighting, but once it involves...

A Servant like Berserker is clearly not someone Sakura can fully control right now.

The consumption of magic power could easily cause problems, so Kariya planned to serve as a magic-supplying member despite being only a novice.

But Berserker himself doesn't seem to mind this?

Although they hadn't received a response before, the other party seemed to have a special ability to cope with the consumption of magic power.

At least in daily care, he did not notice any discomfort in Sakura.

"Berserker!"

"Look! I got it!"

Sakura, who had run over, smiled happily, holding a beautiful flower in her hand, and shouted at the Servant who could be called a "Demon King".

"."

The rough hand rested on the armor and gently stroked the little girl's head, looking so tender.

Watching from the side, Yan Ye was a little unsure how to describe this feeling.

"Over there?"

Berserker pointed in a certain direction and gestured with one hand. Sakura turned her head, glanced at it, and happily ran over.

"That's fine."

Seeing Sakura so relaxed, Kariya felt gratified, but then he saw Berserker staring intently in another direction before his figure vanished in an instant.

"!"

"Is there an enemy?"

Realizing that Berserker had deliberately sent Sakura away, Kariya became wary.

...............

"How could you detect my presence so quickly?"

"You're no ordinary person either."

With his hand already on the hilt of his sword, Kenshin looked at his opponent and said in a deep voice.

He had barely gotten close when the other party already noticed him.

That keen sense of perception was even stronger than Saber's!

The smell of blood.

Unable to speak, Berserker could see the true nature of the swordsman before him.

He was an executioner who had killed countless people and whose blood was stained with countless wounds.

Even without any murderous intent, the bloodlust surrounding him is what Berserker can sense most.

A somber perspective emerges, the past is read by it.

"!"

In that brief moment, Kenshin noticed that his opponent stiffened for a split second.

However, he did not launch a reckless attack.

The person before me, judging from his clothes alone, exuded an ominous aura and was definitely not an easy opponent to deal with.

Even without exchanging blows, merely gazing at each other, his killer instincts reminded him that his opponent was a master no less skilled than Saber.

Assassin

Kenshin Himura

A Executioner with the People's Heart

Not only can they see a person's real name and job class, but Berserker can also see their past.

This is not as simple as "seeing through the true name" or "clairvoyance".

Rather, it's his innate ability.

The power to transcend!

By interacting with specific groups of people, Berserker can see into their past lives.

Therefore, concealing the truth is pointless for Berserker.

A contradictory individual.

After assessing the assassin before him, Berserker conjured a greatsword out of thin air.

「!?」

"This...evil aura?"

A terrifying aura erupted, and Kenshin was astonished as he looked at the greatsword filled with resentment.

A dark aura swirled around the greatsword, and one could even faintly see the dragon's eye forming within it.

Putting aside the origin of this sword, the fact that it can be lifted with one hand so easily is enough to warrant caution.

His hand had already subconsciously drawn the sword from his waist, and Kenshin also harbored a probing thought.

Although this violates the Master's request, as a Servant, there will inevitably be a moment of confrontation sooner or later. So why not take this opportunity to probe his strength? If all else fails, he can always escape later.

He was still confident about withdrawing from the war.

"!"

But the next moment, he realized how naive his idea was.

That burly man's agility was in no way inferior to Saber, whom they had encountered before.

In the blink of an eye, it was already right in front of me.

"Oh no!"

As it tried to move, the greatsword held in front of it emitted a dim, gray light.

The power of longan!

Because this "Dragon Greatsword" was forged from the evil dragon "Nidhogg" that was slain, the sword itself contains immense resentment, which Berserker can easily suppress and wield.

Suffering from mental erosion, Kenshin's movements froze.

At the same time, the greatsword swung down.

"Sizzle!"

…………

"Sakura, wait a moment, Berserker went to get something."

"That's a lie."

"Well"

"I know, other annoying guys are coming."

He had intended to give a perfunctory greeting, but Yan Ye noticed a completely different attitude from the other person's cold expression.

"But if it's a Berserker, there definitely won't be any problems."

"He will win no matter who he faces."

Holding a white flower in her hand, the purple-haired girl made a confident declaration.

That appearance was truly unfamiliar to Yan Ye.

However, his guilt and care for Sakura prevented him from paying too much attention to it.

At that very moment, a dark figure appeared beside them.

It was as if he had done something insignificant; Berserker didn't even bother to explain.

Although he couldn't speak

…………

"Ha ho."

"My Flying Sword Style is completely useless against him."

"Who exactly is he?"

Leaning against a tree, panting, Kenshin had never encountered such a "terrifying" opponent before.

It was almost like he was confronting his master, Hiko Seijuro.

(No, even stronger than Master)

Looking at the knife that had broken into two pieces in his hand, he felt a lot of complicated emotions.

Ignoring the abrasions on his chest, he recalled that when he swung his knife, it only sparked against the opponent's heavy armor.

The opponent doesn't even need to make any defensive or blocking movements.

He only swung his knife a few times before it snapped in two.

Despite being dressed like that, the other person's speed was no slower than Saber, whom he had encountered before.

Moreover, its fighting style is unlike anything I've ever encountered before.

Perhaps for him at present, facing such a formidable opponent is too difficult.

"Is this what they mean by 'there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding'?"

Using the broken sword to support himself as he stood up, Kenshin felt a heavy weight in his heart.

He came into this war with different ideas, but the enemies were getting stronger and stronger.

As the executioner, it seems that he has no advantage in a direct confrontation.

These opponents are far superior to the shogunate's top fighters.

Compared to such a formidable opponent, he still seems to lack some skill.

It ends with an image of the Warrior of Light.

His image during this period actually fits the description of a "berserker".
