"Berserker, go test this guy's strength," Li Zihan's voice came from the owl.
The black giant suddenly burst out of the mist. It was a ferocious conglomerate over two meters tall, with a thick body like flesh and steel. However, it wasn't a dull, monstrous brute. Its blood-red pupils emanated madness. Wielding a massive, heavy obsidian great axe, it charged towards the church with a speed no less than Lancer's.
Sensing Berserker's killing intent, the Sea Monster reacted immediately. Countless tentacles stretched out as if from the church's ruins, looking like a multitude of ugly, deformed pythons from afar.
However, its strangeness and ugliness could not stop Berserker's advance. Driven by immense strength, the nameless great axe easily tore through the tentacles attacking him head-on, splattering the Sea Monster's strange blood into the air.
At the same time, a sharp whistling sound suddenly echoed. Countless small tentacles burrowed out from underground, transforming into chains that wrapped around Berserker's limbs. Then, a giant tentacle turned into a spear and shot straight at Berserker.
If it were hit by this, even a Servant might be severely injured or even killed.
That is, if it could hit.
Berserker's muscles bulged as he was bound by the tentacles. With a sudden spread of his arms, the tendrils strong enough to restrain a magical beast snapped like ropes tied to an elephant.
He stomped the ground fiercely, crushing the earth beneath his feet along with the tentacles hidden underground. Berserker leaped up and swung his stone axe fiercely at the attacking giant tentacle.
A dull thud reverberated in mid-air at that moment. A large section of the tentacle fell from the sky along with Berserker.
The tentacle writhed on the ground with difficulty, while Berserker was unharmed.
"Whoa, whoa. This guy is a bit too strong," Rider clicked his tongue. The monstrous strength he displayed in easily breaking free was simply unbelievable.
Watching Berserker dominate the battlefield, Rider laughed heartily. "This King can't let him hog all the glory." He pulled on the reins, driving his chariot towards the Sea Monster. Electricity crackled between the chariot's wheels and the hooves of the oxen, and Rider's laughter was soon drowned out by the thunderous roar of lightning. Lightning spread out like a spiderweb from the chariot, dancing in the air.
The charging chariot galloped through the air. The tentacles it struck turned into charcoal under the high temperature of the lightning, completely losing their vitality. They fell heavily to the ground, creating deep pits.
"Master, please permit me to engage," Lancer requested of the crow on his shoulder.
The scene was rather peculiar, with the peerless knight respectfully asking permission from the crow on his shoulder. But it couldn't be helped. Kaineth and the other two Masters were still luring Caster out from a distance. At this time, communication between master and servant could only be done through familiars.
"Go, Lancer, don't disgrace me," Kaineth quickly issued the order to engage through the familiar.
"Yes." A smile spread across Lancer's face. After so many years, he finally had the chance to fight alongside his Lord. The man, as beautiful as a demon, twirled his spear and said solemnly, "I will certainly not bring shame upon my Lord."
Holding his spear with both hands, he stepped onto the battlefield once more.
The Sea Monster's tentacles emerged from the ground. Lancer used his spear like a sword, drawing a crescent moon in the air with the tip of his red spear. Like a knife and fork cutting through butter, this spear rendered the otherworldly monster utterly defenseless.
Gae Dearg (The Red Rose of the Piercing Evil), about 2 meters long, was inscribed with Runic characters such as "Yew (Sacred Tree)," "Binding," "Gift," "Birch (Fertility)," and "God of War (Victory)." It was a sharp spear that could nullify defenses made of Magic Power. This Noble Phantasm with its anti-magic properties was particularly deadly to the Sea Monster, whose entire body flowed with Magic Power.
However, even with two other Servants holding it back, the Sea Monster could still spare the energy to attack Lancer. The tentacles that had just been severed gathered together and regrew, lunging towards Lancer's heart.
"Hah!" Lancer, of course, wouldn't be hit by such a clumsy attack. He roared and swung his yellow short spear with lightning speed, cutting off a tentacle that seemed to be composed of countless protruding flesh buds and viscous tendrils.
The tentacle severed by this strike fell limply and could no longer regenerate.
Gae Buidhe (The Yellow Rose of the Blighted Demise), a gift from the sea god Manannán mac Lir to Diarmuid Ua Duibhne, was a magic spear that had the effect of hindering the recovery of opponents wounded by it.

ps: In the earliest settings, the Sea Monster seemed super OP.
A true demon, isn't that on the same level as Kishinami? (Lost in thought)
How many settings did that certain fungus consume?
