Chapter 172: Saber King vs. Bethesda
"Don't move."
Lin Yu spoke, and his telekinesis instantly immobilized Hercules. He walked towards Hercules step by step, his hands gradually transforming into claws, and then struck Hercules.
"Pfft!"
Hercules' shoulder was ripped open by claws, muscles torn open, and blood gushed out instantly.
"Roar!!"
With a roar, Hercules broke free from Lin Yu's telekinetic control. He quickly took two steps back, leaving a deep wound on his shoulder, but fortunately, it did not hit any vital organs.
"As expected of Hercules, he managed to dodge that."
Lin Yu originally intended to take Uncle B's life with this attack, aiming directly at his neck, but unexpectedly, he was able to break through Uncle B's telekinesis.
He could have simply pulled Ilya in front of him, but he would have done it if he wasn't worried about her having a violent reaction.
Of course, Lin Yu would never do such a thing, and his current Master and his two other "allies" would probably not support him doing so.
The point is that he would never do such a thing, nor would he need to use someone's wife and children to threaten them, because he could beat them. He would only do such a thing with the "partner of justice" from the first generation and the clock tower director who was tormented by his lover.
"Can I come?"
At this moment, Saber saw that Lin Yu had stopped fighting Hercules and also wanted to fight this powerful Berserker.
She had been observing the battle between Lin Yu and Berserker and had already gotten a clue about the fight.
"Are you sure, Saber? You have a way to deal with him?"
Lin Yu asked out of curiosity, after all, Saber had killed seven people with one sword, directly taking seven of Berserker's lives. If she wanted to use Curry Stick in advance, he wouldn't refuse.
"Roar!!!"
Hercules was clearly getting impatient with Lin Yu and Artoria's oblivious conversation, and although he probably didn't know exactly what they were talking about, he charged at them again.
"Let me do it!"
Saber gripped Excalibur tightly, her steps steady as she approached Hercules, like an unshakeable fortress.
Lin Yu nimbly stepped aside, a slight smile playing on his lips; watching the drama unfold was the most interesting thing.
At that moment, Hercules roared as he charged toward them, his muscles taut, his ferocious aura sweeping over them like a whirlwind.
But Saber remained unmoved, facing the battle with composure.
Although this battle may seem like a series of attrition warfare, it was actually a crushing defeat. Whether from the Servant's perspective or the Master's perspective, Illya's choice to attack them was a mistake.
If Lin Yu goes all out, he could destroy Fuyuki City. If he has enough time and endurance, he could even break through this planet, provided that the two wills don't intervene.
To be honest, the Holy Grail War players didn't play dirty enough. Take Lancer Cú Chulainn, for example; even Servants struggle to withstand his Piercing Thorn Spear. If you were to choose a Master, it would be a guaranteed hit, instantly killing the Master.
"Qiang!"
With a crisp metallic clang, Lin Yu had just arrived beside Rin Tohsaka when Saber and Hercules clashed fiercely.
The clash of swords and weapons instantly sparked dazzling sparks, as if drawing bright trails in the air.
Only when they truly clashed did Artoria Pendragon truly realize the terror of Hercules.
The violent force struck like a storm, and her arm trembled slightly under the enormous impact, as if it were bearing a thousand pounds of pressure.
Every clash of weapons with Hercules felt like fighting a moving mountain; the immense force was truly formidable, forcing her to fight with all her might.
"boom!"
However, Saber has never relied on brute force to win. She relies on powerful [Magic Release]. For her, who possesses the Red Dragon Factor, [Magic Release] is the most suitable way to fight.
The Red Dragon Factor granted her an extraordinary source of magic, allowing her to continuously unleash powerful magic in battle, thus compensating for her lack of physical strength and preventing her from being hampered by the opponent's brute force.
Those who possess the "Dragon Factor," the heart of the Red Dragon, do not need complex magic circuits. They only need smooth blood circulation and a deep breath to unleash powerful magic within their bodies.
This is a "magical core" that is difficult for ordinary magicians to achieve. With each breath, Artoria can generate a large amount of magic power on her own, providing a continuous source of energy for her weapons and body.
The essence of [Magic Release] is to comprehensively enhance one's weapons and body through magic. In other words, it is to inject magic into the weapons and body like a "Jet jet" to greatly improve their performance.
During Artoria's battle, her [Magic Release] reached Rank A, which instantly gave her originally weak female knight body the power to easily overwhelm several strong men.
Each swing of the sword contains immense magical power, causing the blade to move with an invisible storm that can easily tear apart an opponent's defenses.
The armor she wears in battle is also woven from magic. This armor is not an ordinary metal product, but a protective layer formed by her own powerful magic.
Under the effect of [Magic Release], the armor clung to her body like a second skin, both light and sturdy, providing her with all-around protection. In the fierce battle with Hercules, the armor, empowered by magic, constantly shimmered with a faint light, resisting one fierce impact after another.
Despite Artoria using [Magic Release], she still struggled to withstand Hercules's fierce attacks. Hercules's reaction and movement speed were astonishing, causing her attacks to often miss and even resulting in her being countered and put on the defensive.
Saber realized that without changing her tactics, it would be difficult to turn the tide of the battle. She needed to find a battlefield that suited her own strengths while limiting the opponent's advantages, which was the key to turning the tide.
Although Hercules possesses excellent speed and reflexes, its massive size and sweeping fighting style make it difficult to maneuver in confined spaces. Therefore, Artoria quickly adjusted her strategy and began guiding Hercules to smaller areas such as forests and cemeteries.
Lin Yu saw through Saber's intentions at a glance, and when Rin Tohsaka tried to take the opportunity to subdue Illya, Lin Yu decisively intervened and stopped her, saying:
"My Rin, to be honest, you can't beat this cute little girl, so don't put pressure on me."
