Cú Chulainn watched the duel between the two with great interest, showing no intention of intervening.
At the same time, Rin Tohsaka sensed the astonishing disturbance coming from the Emiya residence and hurried Red A, who was carrying her, to move faster.
"Master, someone else is coming... It's Archer!"
Heracles was the first to notice Red A's approach.
Su Ning's mind raced, and he quickly made a decision.
"Berserker, fight without holding back. Go take down Lancer!"
"Yes, Master!"
Heracles hesitated only briefly before ultimately deciding to trust Su Ning's command.
"You're... Berserker?"
Heracles's extraordinary size was simply too distinctive. Cú Chulainn had nearly immediately guessed his class, and his expression turned grave.
Although the Saber class was widely acknowledged as the strongest class, when it came purely to close combat, Berserkers were usually the strongest.
Clang!
Cú Chulainn raised his spear with both hands and chose to take the descending Axe-Sword head-on, testing Heracles's strength.
But his expression changed drastically in the next instant. With a bang, his right knee slammed heavily into the ground.
Heracles's strength far exceeded his imagination!
"Aaaahhh!"
Unprecedented humiliation and rage sent Cú Chulainn into a frenzy. With his strength pushed to its limit, he even managed to force up the massive sword nearly as large as his own body.
Yet even in his fury, he had not completely lost his reason.
The instant he knocked aside the giant sword, Cú Chulainn shifted his footing and retreated beyond the Axe-Sword's range. He then thrust his spear backhandedly at Heracles's heart.
Unfortunately, this thrust was not a Noble Phantasm and lacked Causality Reversal's guaranteed-hit effect.
Why Can Berserker Use Bow and Arrow?
Clang—
With speed utterly mismatched to his enormous frame, Heracles deflected the attack with a backhanded block. The immense difference in strength nearly knocked Gáe Bulg from Cú Chulainn's grasp. At the same time, Heracles swept out with his right leg, kicking Cú Chulainn dozens of meters away like a powerful soccer strike. He crashed through who knew how many buildings before finally coming to a stop.
Unlike an ordinary Berserker, Heracles possessed not only A+ rank Strength, three full ranks above Cú Chulainn's Rank B Strength, but also Rank A Agility, equal to Cú Chulainn and Medusa. On top of that, he had regained his reason and recovered martial skill that had reached the Divine Domain. If Scathach had been here, perhaps she could have matched him.
But Cú Chulainn... it was like a father beating his son.
It was a completely one-sided crushing defeat.
"Run away?"
Not a chance. Cú Chulainn was usually fairly sharp, but after being beaten so badly, he was getting heated. Besides, he still had his Noble Phantasm unused.
The Berserker class's weaknesses were as obvious as its strengths: it lacked long-range attack methods and possessed even fewer defensive options.
Ordinary Berserkers could only rely on their high endurance to withstand attacks or dodge them, but his Noble Phantasm possessed Causality Reversal's special attribute and could pierce straight through the heart.
