I survived by drawing cards after being transported to One-Punch Man.

Chapter 174: 1 Punch, 6 Lives

"Qiang!"

Hercules successfully destroyed all the tombstones in the cemetery, putting Saber at a disadvantage from the start.

"boom!!"

After taking a hit from Berserker, Saber was sent flying. Without her tombstone, her defeat was to be expected.

Everyone else gets buffed when they go berserk, but Hercules gets nerfed, and nerfed again and again, as if they're afraid Hercules will be overpowered.

“Saber!!”

Emiya Shirou, who was cheering for Saber in his heart, exclaimed in surprise when he saw Saber being knocked away. "This monster can be resurrected after being killed, and then it directly knocked Saber away after being resurrected."

"Come here~"

As soon as Lin Yu finished speaking, Saber was pulled to his side.

"Alright, now it's my turn. Let's see how many lives I can take."

Lin Yu began to walk step by step toward Hercules, his figure constantly changing, and streams of white gas emanating from his body.

Rin Tohsaka instantly sensed a large loss of magical energy within her body and immediately realized that Archer had put her Noble Phantasm to use. After secretly glancing at Shirou Emiya and finding that no one was paying attention to her, she...

With a blush, she gently licked the little monster's cheek.

"Hey~"

The sleeping baby immediately reacted, letting out a soft moan.

This sound successfully drew the attention of Saber and Shirou Emiya to Rin Tohsaka and the treasure in her hand.

"Well!"

Rin Tohsaka immediately crouched down, her back to the two people, steam rising from her head.

Why does this Noble Phantasm have such a name?! Even if it has a name, can't it be named something normal?! This kind of naming is so easy to misunderstand!

But soon, Rin Tohsaka felt a warm current spreading through her body, which immediately gave her a sense of satisfaction.

"Hey~"

Rin Tohsaka (?˙ー˙?): It's over.

"Tohsaka-san, are you alright?"

At that moment, Shirou Emiya walked over untimely and asked.

"No...it's nothing! You should still be concerned about your servant."

Rin Tohsaka immediately shouted, her face flushed, her body filled with magical energy, feeling a tingling, numb sensation that was incredibly comfortable and embarrassing.

"Okay...okay."

Shirou Emiya had an itch to do something, but he still went to ask about Saber's situation.

"Hercules!"

At this moment, Lin Yu had completed his transformation, becoming three times the size of Hercules, and his power oppressed everyone present.

boom! ! !

He used his telekinesis to deliver a powerful punch to Hercules, leaving Hercules with only his legs.

Hercules recovered quickly, but Ilya looked terrible.

Although Lin Yu and the others couldn't see Hercules' condition, she knew how many times Berserker had used his resurrection ability in this attack.

Six times! That took away all six of Berserker's lives in one go!

While it is indeed amazing to defeat Hercules six times in one go, Archer can do the same, as can Shirou Emiya and Saber with their "one sword, seven kills".

Actually, these aren't the most surprising things. In other timelines, Rin Tohsaka also defeated Hercules once using Jewel Magic. It has to be said that Berserker Hercules has had a very unfortunate fate.

"Let's go, Berserker."

Realizing the situation was not good, Ilya immediately prepared to retreat. After all, Hercules could only be resurrected eleven times in total, and eight of them had already been used this time. Even if he could recover once every two days, there were not many opportunities left for Hercules to be resurrected.

"Archer, should we give chase?"

Rin Tohsaka asked Lin Yu, "Although that attack was terrifying, I don't know how many lives Hercules lost, but it should be one. For such a troublesome enemy, I need to seek Archer's advice."

"No need, this is nothing. His opponents are not just us."

Lin Yu shook his head, having no intention of killing Hercules. If he were dead, Gilgamesh would probably be Saber by now.

"Alright, let's go home then, Archer."

Since Lin Yu had made his decision, Rin Tohsaka naturally had no objections. She nodded and prepared to go home.

"Tohsaka-san, thank you so much!"

When Shirou Emiya saw Rin Tohsaka and Lin Yu preparing to leave, he quickly thanked them. This thanking startled Rin Tohsaka, who hurriedly said, "Huh? Why are you thanking me? I didn't do anything."

"Haha, of course I'm thanking you for letting me know about the Holy Grail War, and Archer for saving my life."

Emiya Shirou's expression was very sincere. He was a kind person by nature. Although he was going to follow Archer's path, that path could be changed. All that was needed now was to give this young man a nudge to the head.

After Kiritsugu Emiya rescued him from his predicament, Shirou Emiya harbored a dream of becoming a "partner of justice".

However, in his daily life, he is more like an ordinary person who is willing to help others. He almost never refuses to help others and always tries his best to lend a helping hand.

Since he does not yet possess great power, he is not yet qualified to become a "partner of justice".

Lin Yu thinks this kind of life trajectory is actually quite good, if Emiya Shirou can live his life with this kind and helpful nature.

Even if he hadn't accomplished anything earth-shattering, people would remember him after his death and praise him as a truly kind person.

Isn't this a better outcome than simply pursuing becoming a "partner of justice"?

Every Archer regrets his decision, but every Shirou is stubborn.

"No need to thank us. We are allies now, so helping you is the right thing to do."

Lin Yu replied that his goal was simple: Unlimited Blade Works, Saber, Rider, Caster, Illya, and so on.

"By the way, Archer, didn't you say before that the Holy Grail is actually a source of calamity, and even if you obtain it, you can't fulfill your wishes, but instead it will make things worse?"

"Although I don't know exactly what you want, I don't think we need to fight over that kind of thing."

Emiya Shirou looked puzzled, clearly concerned about Lin Yu's earlier words, because he himself didn't have any particular wish, he simply wanted to stop the Holy Grail War.

He wanted to stop the disasters brought by those Servants, and to prevent the Holy Grail from falling into the hands of others and causing a repeat of the disasters of ten years ago. He could not turn a blind eye to this.

"Yes, but the point is that only you are willing to believe me. Besides, not all Servants are after the Holy Grail; some have other plans." Lin Yu said earnestly, placing his hands on Shirou Emiya's shoulders.

This child's kindness is truly rare. Such good character makes him seem less than virtuous, filled with selfishness.
