Chapter 173 Battle in the Graveyard

"Archer? You mean I can't beat that girl? Or are you worried about her?"

Rin Tohsaka said angrily, "Although Lin Yu said that this little girl is older than them, she is only a year older. How much difference could her strength be?"

“Both of them. You really can’t beat Ilya. As for what I’m worried about, it’s not her, but you, Rin.”

Lin Yu pulled back Rin Tohsaka, who was eager to show off, and said...

“Take Shirou away now. He’s practically useless here. If he dies, Saber will be finished.”

Lin Yu pointed at Emiya Shirou, who was very nervous and might do something unexpected.

"Can't we just let him walk back by himself? It's not like I'm completely defenseless."

Rin Tohsaka felt that Lin Yu was insulting her intelligence. Shirou Emiya was a person, not a pet. He couldn't go home without someone to take him. Besides, she was much more useful than Shirou Emiya.

"What if he gets attacked? Listen to me, retreat with Shirou Emiya."

Lin Yu patted Rin Tohsaka's head and then went to find Saber and Illya.

"Tohsaka-san, what do we do now?"

Left behind, Shirou Emiya asked Rin Tohsaka a question. He had thought he could help, but now he could only say that he was overthinking things. The battle between Heroic Spirits was beyond his ability to participate in.

"Your mission is simply to escape, to get out of here."

Rin Tohsaka imitated Lin Yu by patting Shirou Emiya's head before striding away.

"Damn it, does knowing how to run away mean I can't fight?!"

Emiya Shirou felt powerless. They had agreed to fight together, but now he was having thoughts of running away!

He clenched his fist and chased after Rin Tohsaka in the direction she had gone.

cemetery.

The two brothers, Saber and Uncle B, got into a fight and damaged many graves. Fortunately, the deceased were magnanimous and did not come out to argue with them, but lay quietly in their coffins.

Saber was in charge of choosing the tombstones, while Berserker was in charge of knocking them away.

"Archer! How is it now?"

Lin Yu, who was quietly observing the situation, noticed that Rin Tohsaka had sneaked up to his side.

Damn it, he knew these main characters weren't obedient children and wouldn't listen to reason.

Just as Lin Yu was about to complain, he saw Shirou Emiya sneaking over as well.

(●—●)

"Sigh, I'm so tired."

What could Lin Yu say? He couldn't very well slap his master to death, could he?

Meanwhile, in the battle, Saber began to gain the upper hand, taking advantage of the aftershock caused by Hercules' attack, and aimed the tip of her sword at Hercules' head.

boom! ! !

A powerful surge of magic erupted from the Excalibur sword, and Artoria's magic instantly coalesced into a sharp blade, piercing straight towards Hercules' face.

Although Hercules reacted quickly and turned his head, at such close range, he was unable to completely avoid the fatal blow. Half of his body was blasted to pieces by the terrifying [magic release], and his life signs disappeared instantly, as if he was about to die.

sizzle.

But soon, Hercules' remaining half of his body began to produce flesh and blood, and within seconds it returned to its original state.

"As expected, there are no effective countermeasures. This resurrection is truly abnormal."

Lin Yu couldn't help but admire it, because he knew how annoying this thing was, having relied on all sorts of tricks and cheating.

If Hercules hadn't been summoned by the Berserker class, besides the Twelve Trials, he would have had another Noble Phantasm, [Shoot Down a Hundred Heads], which accounted for half of his combat power.

"Roar!!!"

The resurrected creature roared in anger; if it had any sense, it wouldn't have died such a pathetic death.

Lin Yu glanced at Saber and Berserker, attributing it all to Kiritsugu Emiya. Saber had left a significant shadow on the Einzbern family, which gave them Hercules as their trump card. They chose the obedient Berserker class, after all, Hercules was a noble hero who might very well repeat Saber's mistakes.

The Einzbern family's micromanagement in the Holy Grail War was absolutely masterful.

During the Third Holy Grail War, they created Angela Mainyu, thus corrupting the Holy Grail.

In the Fourth Holy Grail War, they paired the ruthless magician assassin Kiritsugu Emiya with the single-minded knight King Arthur, Artoria.

In the Fifth Holy Grail War, they transformed the originally incredibly powerful Archer-class Hercules into Berserker-class Hercules, turning a wise and brave hero into an obedient 'perfect punching bag'.

Ironically, they found a good, obedient tool, but assigned it to a user who knew nothing.

If Kiritsugu Emiya knew, he'd probably be so angry he'd rise from the dead. If the Einzbern family could create such obedient tools, why did they even bother pursuing the 'strongest Saber' in the first place? If they had obtained such a tool from the beginning, his path in the Holy Grail War wouldn't have been so difficult.

"His skills were as fierce as a tiger at first glance, but his final score was 0-5."

They have never won a single one of the five Holy Grail Wars.

And the reason why Uncle B turned out like this is partly due to the influence of the Saber King.

At this moment, Hercules fought Saber again, but in the instant of the battle, she found that the effect of her [Magic Release] seemed to be not very good.

"Well, Hercules develops resistance to attacks that could kill him, so the same methods are unlikely to work," Lin Yu reminded Saber, noticing her confusion.

Lin Yu's voice reached Saber's ears, confirming her suspicions. This made the Knight King quite uncomfortable. If she had known Hercules would be resurrected, she would not have used [Magic Release] to attack him so easily, since it was her primary means of combat.

However, despite feeling somewhat distressed, Artoria did not give up the fight. [Magic Release] was a skill she added to her normal attacks, and while Berserker Hercules was incredibly powerful, he could not be immune to all normal attacks.

If Hercules were to descend to earth as an Archer-class Servant, he might indeed be immune to some attacks, since Archer-class Servants descend with some of the 'Twelve Glories' Noble Phantasms, which could very well include "First Trial: 'Divine Beast's Robe'".

The first trial, "The Fur of the Divine Beast," originates from the Nemean Lion that Hercules once defeated. The lion's fur was impervious to blades and spears, and Hercules processed the Nemean Lion's fur to create this treasure.

Hercules's Robe: It can deny human reason and reject all attacks from human civilization. With this treasure, Hercules can withstand thousands of "Gate of Babylon" attacks without being hurt. He also used it to successfully block an arrow shot by Hippolyta into his back.

However, the Divine Beast's Fur is useless against attacks that come directly from the body without the use of weapons. After all, it can only reject attacks from items, and it is a lion skin that is worn on the body. Like a tortoise shell, once you put it on, you can only passively take hits.
