His battle with Saber had left Wu Yan experiencing long-forgotten fatigue.
There was nothing to be done about that.
After all, Saber had always imposed the highest requirements on Heroic Spirits among the seven classes.
A Heroic Spirit capable of becoming a Saber might not necessarily be the strongest, but they were unquestionably powerful.
What was more, the Saber Wu Yan had faced this time was Artoria Pendragon—the King Arthur of ancient British legend!
In terms of Heroic Spirit rank, Artoria was absolutely one of the very best among all Heroic Spirits!
Even a mere clone possessed a level of 75. Coupled with a Noble Phantasm as absurdly powerful as Excalibur, it was only natural for Wu Yan to be tired when his level was restricted and he could not summon his familiars.
One had to know that Excalibur was not only an Anti-Fortress Noble Phantasm, but an A++-rank Noble Phantasm!
Every Heroic Spirit possessed their own parameters.
Strength, Endurance, Agility, Mana, Luck, and Noble Phantasm—these six parameters were all divided into ranks.
Heroic Spirit parameters were ranked E, D, C, B, A, and EX, clearly indicating the Heroic Spirit's capabilities.
As for the gap between those six ranks, if expressed numerically, assuming the weakest ordinary parameter was 1, then E-rank would be 10. From E-rank onward, every rank increase raised the parameter value by 10.
In other words, under that assumption, E-rank was 10, D-rank was 20, C-rank was 30, B-rank was 40, and A-rank, the highest standard rank, was 50.
EX-rank, meanwhile, did not mean the parameter value was 60. It meant the value did not fit anywhere between E and A—a parameter that had surpassed the norm from the start.
In other words, EX-rank meant it had
