At present, Berserker had already destroyed half his tanks. Even that major had been cleaved in two by a single axe strike from Berserker and died on the spot. Only half the tanks remained, struggling to hold their ground, while the tank crews inside were suffering miserably.
If Su Mo had not given them a death order to stop the mindless Berserker, these soldiers who only knew how to fight easy battles alongside Su Mo would probably have driven their tanks away long ago, right?
Ten minutes later, after witnessing the entire battle between dozens of tanks and Berserker, Kiyohime was stunned as she looked at the billowing smoke and crater-ridden ground.
Kiyohime did not know what she had been thinking throughout the fight. Terrified, she kept glancing at Su Mo inside the tank, only to see him sitting calmly in the face of danger, his gaze filled with resolve! (In truth, he had already fainted from fear.)
Kiyohime did not know how to describe how she had felt at the time, but she was certain of one thing: the calm expression her Master had shown gave her an unprecedented sense of security! She believed that as long as Master was there, no danger would be impossible to overcome.
And that was indeed the case. Under Su Mo's proper command, dozens of tanks slowly wore down Berserker's twelve lives...
After the battle ended, Director Olga Marie slapped Su Mo twice to bring him back to his senses, and the group once again headed toward the Greater Grail.
With Berserker already defeated, the road to the Holy Grail was completely clear. No one could stop them from taking down Black Saber now, and they reached the underground Greater Grail in only a few minutes.
Su Mo could no longer remember the origins of the underground Greater Grail, but the Director recognized its true nature, as well as that of the Holy Grail—it was an ultra-high-grade magical furnace core!
The communication from Dr. Roman also confirmed that this Holy Grail had once been made by the Einzbern family.
But those were minor matters, because Black Saber, standing atop the raised platform in the underground Greater Grail, had already noticed their group.
"You really are an interesting bunch. Even I would have to put in some effort to defeat that Berserker, yet you passed his trial so easily."
A cold, emotionless voice rang out. The petite woman had her light golden hair elegantly tied atop her head. Her slender body was clad in armor marked with blood-red patterns, and her indifferent golden eyes radiated boundless savagery!
Unlike the others, upon seeing Black Saber, Su Mo carefully examined the swell of her chest and could not help complaining inwardly, She is clearly flat-chested, so why is her chest armor designed to be so suggestive? It is not bad like this, but does it not feel strange?
"Is that... the legendary King Arthur?"
Facing an enemy who emanated a crushing pressure as heavy as a mountain, Mash's grip on her shield loosened slightly.
"It is fine, Mash. Do not be afraid. She is much weaker than Berserker just now."
Just as Mash began to fear Black Saber, Su Mo placed a hand on her trembling shoulder to comfort her. He also injected his magical energy into her body, using Reinforcement Magic to strengthen her armor and slightly improve its defense.
"Oh... I could not tell. As a Magus, you are quite skilled with Reinforcement Magic."
Black Saber rested both hands on Excalibur's hilt and gave Su Mo an interested look.
"When did you learn Reinforcement Magic? There was clearly no record of it in your profile!"
Director Olga Marie was somewhat astonished. The records of Chaldea's Masters only described Su Mo as a fairly outstanding Magus, whose only known magecraft was the beginner-level Projection Magic. So how had he managed to use Reinforcement Magic, which was extremely difficult even at the introductory level? And with such proficiency?
"Do not worry about that." After casually brushing off the Director, Su Mo patted Mash on the shoulder and said, "Mash, protect Kiyohime and give her room to attack. The Director and I will support you from the rear!"
"Understood, Senpai!"
Mash nodded heavily. With her armor strengthened by Su Mo's magecraft, the fear in her heart somehow faded, and her body stopped trembling. She felt that even if the coming battle against Black Saber was brutal, she would not lose.
"Hmm... the shield in your hands? Is that not my dining table?"
Watching Mash charge forward with her shield, Black Saber's gaze sharpened. As though she had seen through everything, she raised the Darkened Excalibur in her hand!
"No wonder I could never find my dining table. So you stole it! This is simply... unforgivable!"
Before the immense magical energy, her black armor instantly burst apart. Black Saber stared coldly at Mash, and with the support of the Holy Grail behind her, she unleashed her most powerful strike!
