Type-Moon Crown Master

"Do I really attract you that much?"

Red A, who was fleeing frantically in the distance, didn't dare to look back. He looked genuinely terrified.

You want to fight? Fine, but why bring an auxiliary to help you? Is there any fairness in this?

"Of course! Honestly, among all the Servants in this Holy Grail War, you're the one I admire the most!"

Everyone stared blankly as Dog Brother and Red A, one chasing and one fleeing, quickly disappeared from sight.

After a long moment, Su Mo was the first to react. He coughed and said, "Let's go. The final barrier to the Holy Grail is gone. Nothing can stop us now."

Seeking collections and flowers!!!

Chapter 17: The Final Barrier

The dog mage and Red A, a mage and an archer respectively, were locked in a close-quarters brawl using a baseball bat and dual blades.

It was fine for Red A, an archer who excelled at close combat, but Dog Brother, a mage, had his stats significantly boosted by Su Mo, surpassing Red A. He abandoned his Rune Magic and swung his baseball bat with vigor against Red A, even managing to suppress him!

Alright, enough about those two. Su Mo, Mash, Kiyohime, and the Director proceeded unimpeded. The low-level monsters that appeared along the way were either burned to death by Kiyohime or smashed to death by Mash's shield.

"Senpai, are we really going to the great cavern like this without worrying about Cú Chulainn?" Mash asked with some concern.

"Mhm, Cú Chulainn can hold off Archer. He's happy to do it anyway. We're going to defeat Saber. That's the plan," Su Mo explained as he walked ahead. "Remember, Saber is the key figure in this Singularity. She guards the Holy Grail and is the most crucial element of this Holy Grail War. So don't overthink it. Defeat Saber with all your might, claim the Holy Grail, and repair this Singularity. That's our mission!"

Su Mo was incredibly nervous about facing Saber, the iconic character of Fate. He knew that her Excalibur, especially when corrupted, was far more powerful than before, and her Noble Phantasm was still intact!

If Su Mo hadn't possessed excellent support abilities as a Heroic Spirit, he wouldn't have dared to bring a starting-level Mash and a low-star Kiyohime to fight their way through openly. Instead, he would have cautiously taken Mash's shield, placed Saint Graphs on it to summon powerful allies, or waited for the daily Summoning Ticket to try again.

Continuing according to plan, if the anime's plot was correct, they should be able to face the corrupted Saber directly after breaking through this area.

However, just as they were about to pass through the cave, a massive impact sound echoed through the air!

As the dust settled, a Heroic Spirit with a colossal physique revealed itself from the shadows.

The giant axe shrouded in black mist, the abs that would make a fitness coach weep with envy, the melancholic aura, and the mop-like black hair undoubtedly gave away his identity!

"Didn't they say Berserker had lost his mind? If you don't provoke him, he won't come? But who can tell me why this傻大个 Berserker is here?" Su Mo felt a million "grass mud horses" stampeding through his mind the moment he recognized Berserker!

That's right! He was Berserker Heracles, the strongest hero in Greek mythology, standing like a towering pillar before them!

This is totally not the movie plot, it's the game's plot! Su Mo grumbled inwardly.

"Master... Master, I feel an intense pressure from that Shadow Servant. It's strange... I've never felt this way from the Shadow Servants we encountered before."

Kiyohime, showing a rare vulnerable side, hid behind Su Mo with a pale face. This moved Su Mo deeply.

Yes, he was so moved that he clutched his face in pain.

"As a Servant, and a Berserker at that, you're hiding behind me? How am I supposed to handle this? Shouldn't you be showing a fearless expression and saying something like, 'Don't worry, Master, as long as I'm here, I won't let you get hurt one bit...'? You know you'll be sent back to the Hall of Heroes if I die!"

"Be careful, Senpai!"

The only thing that made Su Mo happy was Mash, who fearlessly stood in front of him, shield raised.

But it was useless, because Su Mo knew that even a fully upgraded Mash wouldn't be a match for Heracles. After all, he was the Berserker in FGO who dared to challenge the developers, saying, "Go ahead and release events, if I lose, I lose!"
