He was absolutely unwilling to be defeated by Shirou Emiya here. Watching Shirou Emiya interact with Rin Tohsaka and seeing how Rin Tohsaka took such good care of Shirou Emiya, he was extremely jealous.

"I'm the one who should be standing next to Rin Tohsaka right now!! Emiya, you're just an insignificant ordinary person. I really don't know what kind of luck you had to be chosen by the Holy Grail and even summon King Arthur."

He firmly believed that he was the one who would have the last laugh.

Medusa gazed at the towering Berserker in the image, "Eh... if it's a tall female Heroic Spirit."

"There are others who suffered the same misfortune as me. You were cursed by Hera, and I was cursed by Athena..."

She thought that Hinako was extremely lucky. With Yu Ji's beauty, Hera and Athena would be so jealous that they would descend to earth to curse and persecute her.

Two unlucky fellows from ancient Greece have reappeared in the Holy Grail War...

She estimated that with Shinji Matou's intelligence, he probably couldn't understand that Hercules' strength was astonishing even in his berserk state.

16 Martial Arts Skills That Even King Arthur Admired

Ancient Greece, a parallel world.

The Argo sailed on the sea, the goddess Hera bound by black ropes, Lina Inbas glaring at Hera with displeasure:

"I've made you stupid gods feel threatened...?? You're all idiots! I have no interest in you, don't mess with me. Otherwise, I'll annihilate you!"

Lina Inbass appears on Jason's ship, intrigued by the upcoming adventure: the Greek treasure.

But she never expected that she would be harassed by the Greek god Poseidon so soon after she appeared in this world. She retaliated without hesitation with the God-Slaying Slash, almost turning the sea driver Poseidon into a grilled fish.

Jason's face lit up with an incredibly bright smile as he looked at the newly joined crew members, Gauri, Lina, and Gamelia. These visitors from another world were just too strong!

Now we no longer need to worry about being bothered by those Greek gods.

"The reason these foolish magicians turned Hercules into a berserker is because the wishes they wanted to make, or the things they wanted to do, would not be approved by Hercules. That's why they did it. It's really stupid to forcibly reduce Hercules' power."

"The magicians of the Einzbern family, you have audacity! How dare you do this!"

To my friends.

"Humans are always so foolish. They finally get a great ace, and then they deliberately weaken its power." Dioscuroi Castor stared at the screen with disdain.

If Heracles were in his normal state, this Holy Grail War would be unnecessary, and knowing Heracles' identity would be useless.

He has no weaknesses, and these heroic spirits cannot contend with him; the difference in power between the two sides is too great.

“King Arthur is going to have a tough fight. Her holy sword is sealed, and the master she’s facing is so weak.” Kennis whispered, his arm around Lina Inverse’s neck, “After this adventure, let’s storm Olympus together. Let’s wipe out all those gods; she has a lot of treasures on her.”

“No, no… Although I’m very interested, if I do that, I’ll be kicked out by that Gaia guy,” Lina Inbas said regretfully.

She had already removed everything from Hera's body. Since she had come to her of her own accord, she should consider this trouble as a gift to apologize.

Grand Carnival World.

Mordred, Gareth, and Tristan waved their glow sticks, cheering for their king.

Although the queen is still hungry, she still has a chance of winning!

Although his physical abilities are not as good as Hercules', the king has the holy sword given to him by the Lake Fairy!

“The problem now is that Illya in this world might have Hercules target only Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya. The King of Knights might not be able to harm such a young Master,” Moriarty said.

A wicked smile crept across his lips. He had successfully transformed Lancelot into his Fou form; his next target was King Arthur and his knights.

It's wonderful to see righteous knights gradually falling into depravity while heeding their own advice.

"—Then let's begin! Go, Berserker!" Ilya gave the order, swaying her body cutely.

Hercules, standing behind her, roared and stomped on the granite road beneath his feet, his muscles bulging.

The moment he entered battle mode, the magic power emanating from his body stirred up a raging storm.

Under the dumbfounded gazes of Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka, Hercules left the ground and easily appeared in the air, several meters above the ground.

Hercules' target was Shirou Emiya. After killing Shirou Emiya with a single sword strike, he dealt with the nearby Heroic Spirit. Although he entered a berserk state, he still maintained a very clear combat mindset.

The Berserk level of Hercules appearing here is not very high.

He charged straight at Shirou Emiya, who was standing next to Artoria. If he got close, even the shockwave from his battle with Saber would be enough to kill Shirou Emiya.

Suddenly, dozens of arrows appeared in the sky, tracking Hercules' body.

Rumble——!

Dozens of arrows struck Hercules' body at the same time. The arrowheads bent upon impact with his tough skin, and the magical arrows exploded in a series of bangs.

The explosive arrow, powerful enough to destroy the building, merely changed Hercules's direction without causing any damage.

This series of arrow shots was all planned by the Heroic Spirit Emiya, with the aim of keeping Hercules away from Rin Tohsaka, giving her enough time to leave.

The billowing dust vanished, and the series of attacks had only enraged the opponent. This scene astonished Rin Tohsaka. "What a joke! He's completely unharmed...!"

The ground beneath Hercules' feet, which was ten meters in diameter, sank half a meter deep, but Berserker, standing in the pit, was completely unharmed, not even a single hair had fallen from her head.

The adorable Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka, thinking Archer's attack had damaged the enemy, excitedly ran over to watch. This foolish act directly landed them in the arms of the goddess of death.

Hercules used the same tactic again, continuing to charge towards Shirou Emiya and Rin Tohsaka using the explosive power of his legs.

In a fraction of a second, he appeared between Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya, wielding his exaggeratedly heavy sword and striking Shirou Emiya.

The two adorable masters are truly evenly matched.

If it weren't for Illya's kind mercy [wanting to play a little longer, such a playful little cutie], Rin Tohsaka and Shirou Emiya would have died dozens of times over.

when--!

Artoria appeared just in time to Shirou Emiya and blocked the fatal blow.

The Excalibur clashed with the heavy sword, and the resulting shockwave sent Shirou Emiya flying, landing him on his backside.

Emiya Shirou stared in shock at the terrifying enemy before him, his entire body covered in blood, his muscles red, his killing intent ferocious. If Saber hadn't arrived in time, that attack would have crushed him like a clove of garlic.

In the Saber route, Shirou Emiya, who was hit by Hercules, was not instantly smashed to pieces. It's truly thanks to the protagonist's halo, Avalon!

Even skyscrapers can't withstand this blow, so what can flesh and blood do?

Artoria struggled to block, now she had to get this guy away from her master. Her feet were buried in the mud, her arm muscles tense.

Her hands, holding the sword, were trembling; the enemy's monstrous strength was almost too much for her to handle.

Her current stance is to raise her sword to block, while the enemy is slashing down with a heavy blow. The way the enemy exerts force is easier for her than for her.

at this time.

She guided the terrifying force on the sword downwards, deflecting it with a single strike.

The terrifying heavy sword, following its own force and Saber's pull, slashed straight past.

"Ha—!" She swung Excalibur with all her might, releasing the Wind King's Barrier and magic entangled around the blade forward.

The gale and force focused on a single point, directly knocking Hercules backward.

This sword strike used one-tenth of the magical power within her.

If it weren't for some wicked troll using third-rate methods to smear Artoria Pendragon, she would have been sent to Diarmuid's death upon their first meeting, given her abundant magical power.

Director Ken, do you still dare to stand around the battlefield and watch? The aftershocks of your magic will send you to your death.

The intensity of Artoria's battle with Hercules was astonishing.

Artoria adopted a dash stance, staring at the Berserker with its exaggerated power in front of her. Based on the information she had previously obtained, she prepared for the battle to come.

Although she had just resisted the terrifying force from his arms, she was able to hold out against it for a short while; brute strength alone was not enough to defeat him.

The opponent charged at Master both times; I can't let him have a chance to get close to the weak Shirou.

Artoria's jade-like eyes calmly gazed at the enemy, her expression serene and unwavering, her mind always focused on calm contemplation.

She decided to figure out the enemy's fighting style and habits. Once she understood the number of moves they made, she could use her intuition to find their weaknesses.

Her advantage lies in her petite figure and agile movements; with the Wind King's Barrier, her speed surpasses that of her opponent.

The next moment, Hercules stood still, swinging his heavy sword and slashing at the enemy in front of him.

Artoria approached Heracles, dodging his heavy sword strikes while counterattacking with her own. She wasn't in a hurry; instead, she was constantly testing her enemy's strength and attack patterns.

She moved with graceful ease, flashing from the enemy's left to the right, shifting back and forth. Since she was a Heroic Spirit whose rationality had been consumed by berserk mode, her reaction speed and swordsmanship would definitely be affected by the berserk mode.

She kept analyzing, imprinting every detail of the enemy's moves and wrist movements into her mind.

Half a minute later, she had memorized Hercules's sword-wielding habits and used the heavy blade to retreat, creating distance once again.

She had already envisioned a future where Hercules and she were battling each other.

The enemy will habitually perform a series of horizontal slashes followed by a heavy strike to finish the attack; this is her opportunity.

Dangdangdang——!

Artoria charged at the enemy again. This time, she didn't move left or right, but stood still and clashed head-on with the enemy. After the enemy slashed repeatedly, she jumped up and at the same time, a heavy slash followed, shattering the ground where she had been standing.

She stomped hard on the heavy sword, shifting her weight onto her legs. The momentum of the downward slash combined with the force of her stomp, causing the blade to sink into the ground. The enemy's tall body bent down, and he tried to lift the heavy sword with his right arm to attack again.

But the heavy sword beneath Artoria's feet remained motionless. She judged that the enemy, in this posture, could not exert the strength of his powerful legs, and therefore could not draw his weapon from beneath her feet to counterattack.

She wouldn't let this golden opportunity slip by. She swiftly swung her sword, delivering a horizontal slash towards the enemy's neck. With her magic fully unleashed, the invisible sword appeared with incredible speed in the blink of an eye at Hercules's neck, about to sever his head.

The scene slows down, entering bullet time.

Hercules' crimson eyes were fixed on the longsword hidden by the Wind King's barrier. He released the heavy sword with his right hand and leaned back quickly, the tip of Excalibur just a hair's breadth from his neck.

King Arthur's tactics failed this time.

Hercules braced his thick arms on the ground, leaned back to dodge, and then transformed his legs into giant axes, fiercely kicking towards Artoria. His legwork was as fast as lightning, displaying his martial arts skills with incredible agility.

Artoria calmly parried three heavy kicks to the sword, refusing to rashly attack the unarmed Berserker.

She had already missed her chance. Even though the enemy in front of her was unarmed, his fierce legwork and agile movements made her realize that he was very skilled in combat. Moreover... although he was in a berserk state, it did not prevent him from displaying the amazing martial arts skills he had before his death.

Rin Tohsaka stared in disbelief at the scene, watching the berserker seemingly breakdancing on the ground. If Saber hadn't remained calm and refrained from continuing her attack, those legs, capable of easily crushing granite, would have landed a kick to his chest or head...

She couldn't believe that the Servant in front of her was a Berserker, and that after forcing Saber back, they hadn't continued their pursuit!

How can a Berserker be so calm?

"He must be a very famous Heroic Spirit. His mind was corrupted by rage, yet his martial arts remained unaffected. I have nothing but admiration for him," Artoria exclaimed. While she was scheming against her enemy, her enemy was also scheming against her.

She no longer regarded the enemy in front of her as a berserker, because he possessed great strength and combat skills.

She decided to change tactics; since she wasn't winning in close combat, she would try a different approach.

Her and the other party's martial arts

Their skill levels are similar, but their opponents have an advantage in both magical and physical strength. She must now play to her strengths and minimize her weaknesses.

Fate/stay night, UBW timeline.

"As expected of Heracles, who can turn Cú Chulainn into a Noble Phantasm in another world and easily defeat the three Heroic Spirits..." Artoria carefully observed Heracles' battle.

She was devising tactics in her mind; her advantage lay in her exceptional intuition, an intuition that bordered on futuristic.

Even though Hercules was excellent in martial arts and swordsmanship, she had the upper hand and was not completely unable to fight back.

Knowing that the other party's Master was Irisviel's daughter, she abandoned the decapitation tactic... She had promised Irisviel that she would protect her, and this promise also applied to Illya.

She was curious whether her gluttonous self in another world had ever fought Hercules.

"Wow... This is too strong! What's wrong with this guy? He gives me the feeling that he could take down most Heroic Spirits even without using weapons...!!"

Rin Tohsaka watched in frustration as Hercules unleashed his immense power.

What frustrated her most was that Hercules was currently at his weakest state. The reason she and Shirou Emiya were still alive in the future was because Hercules, the most skilled archer in front of them, hadn't brought his bow!

Hercules' arrows, like Archer's rain of arrows, also possess an automatic target-locking function.

"King Arthur is truly amazing...! Even summoned by a third-rate magician like Shirou, in an incomplete state, he was still able to fight such a powerful enemy to a standstill, without falling behind!"

Rin Tohsaka is increasingly envious of Shirou Emiya's good fortune. King Arthur's calm mind is truly terrifying; it's not something a human could do.

Presumably, she quickly accepted the fact that she now had to fight on her own.

Complaining is pointless; she will only think about how to obtain the Holy Grail and fulfill her wishes.

Medea's expression was solemn. Artoria Pendragon, whom she really wanted to bully, was very strong and not someone she could bully through normal means.
