Berserker: ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Berserker let out a terrifying roar which stunned both Rin and Shirou. Then Saber left Primis' side, charged at him, and attacked.
SWOOSH!!!!
SLASH!!!
DING!!!
Though Berserker stopped her attack and pushed her back. Next, he started attacking Saber.
SWISH!!!
SLASH!!!
CLING!!!
CLANG!!!
They both kept on exchanging blows. Still, it was obvious that Saber was no match for Berserker as she was being pushed back again and again. No matter from which angle Saber attacked, Berserker easily stopped all of them and even countered them.
Suddenly, Saber found an opening and attacked. However, before her attack could touch him, Berserker punched her in the chest.
BAM!!!!
CRACK!!!
SHATTER!!!
Saber: Gah!!!
FWOOSH!!!
ROLL!!!!!!!!
Not only did the punch destroy her front armor but also threw her away. Saber rolled on the ground while ravishing the ground in the way.
Rin: No way. If this keeps up, Saber will die.
{Archer: She won't.}
{Rin: Archer?}
{Archer: Don't worry, Rin. Everything will be fine.}
{Rin: How could you say that after witnessing what kind of monster that Berserker is?}
{Archer: Let me tell you this. Let alone that single Servant. Even if all the other Servants will come at you right now, you will still be fine.}
{Rin: Huh?}
{Archer: As long as he is here, everything will be fine.}
{Rin: He?}
Becoming confused Rin looked around but the only male she could find was Shirou and Rigla. She hurriedly removed the possibility of Shirou being the one and glanced at Primis.
{Rin: You don't mean Rigla, do you?}
{Archer: That's exactly who I mean.}
{Rin: You're kidding, right?}
{Archer: I am certain.}
{Rin: Hmm. You really have a lot of confidence in him. It's like you know him well.}
{Archer: ..................I do.}
{Rin: Wha-What do you mean by that?}
{Archer: ..................….}
This time, Archer didn't reply. Even if Rin asked again, he remained silent. In the end, Rin could only give up. She then turned her attention to Primis, looking at him with curiosity.
'Rin: What does Archer mean by that?'
BANG!!!!
Another clash, Saber was thrown away again.
DRIP!!!
DRIP!!!
A deep injury had appeared on her body as her blood was dripping on the ground. She ignored that injury and put her entire attention on Berserker who was charging at her.
TAP!!!
TAP!!!
TAP!!!
Suddenly, Shirou rushed towards Saber.
Rin: Wait!
But he ignored her and increased his speed even more. The only thing that was in his mind was to reach Saber. However.........
Shirou: Huh----
He felt a pull on his collar, and he was shoved back.
FWOOSH!!
BANG!!!
Shirou: Argh!
The force at which he was pulled back, he slammed on the closed Church's gate.
Rin: Emiya!
Rin hastily ran towards him to help. Shirou was currently holding his shoulder in pain. While doing so, he raised his head and looked in front. There he saw Primis looking down on him with cold eyes.
Primis: Where do you think you are going?
Shirou: I am g-going to help h-her.
Said Shirou while grunting in pain. Hearing this, Primis gave him a mocking look before speaking.
Primis: Help? You? Do you think you have the strength to help her defeat Berserker?
Shirou: I don't know if I don't try.
Primis: No need to know. I will tell you now. You will be nothing more than a deadweight to her.
Rin: Hey! That's rude!
Primis: Shut up! Are you participating in this War to win OR to babysit him!?
Without hesitating, Primis reprimanded Rin. Since what Primis said was true, Rin didn't have the words to refute. Once Rin became quiet, Primis returned his attention to Shirou.
Primis: Listen to this, Emiya Shirou. I already told you before that you are nothing more than an outsider here. So, you should mind your own business and stay out of it.
Shirou: I can't just let Saber die ther----
GRAB!!!
BANG!!!!!
Before he could continue, Primis grabbed his collar, raised him, and slammed him on the Gate again.
Shirou: Urg!!!
Primis: Who do you think you are? A Hero? Even if you were a Hero, it doesn't matter one bit. Because this is not the place where you can show your Heroic deeds. This is War.
Letting go of Shirou's collar, Primis continued.
Primis: And in War, many Heroes are born and many of them died. All the Servants are also the Heroes of the past. Yet, they are fighting for the grail. This is reality.
Clenching his fists in frustration, Shirou lowered his head. He also knew what Primis was saying was true. However, as a "Hero of Justice", he should try to save everyone.
Rin, on the side, also kept quiet. She also fully agreed with Primis on that.
Just as Shirou was thinking of replying, Primis continued.
Primis: Or are you thinking that someone will come and save you like Rin and Saber do?
Shirou: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rin: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both were shocked hearing this.
Shirou: What do you mean that Tohsaka saved me before? I saw Saber saved me but when did Tohsaka-----
All of sudden, realization struck Shirou as he turned his attention to Rin.
Shirou: Don't tell me. It was you who saved me in school.
Rin: ..................
Rin didn't reply but Primis did.
Primis: Yes, it was her.
Hearing Primis confirmation, Rin gave a sigh before getting up and looking at Primis.
Rin: How do you know that?
Instead of replying, Primis took out something from his pocket.
RATTLE!!!
Rattling sound of chain was heard before Primis took out a beautiful red pendant. Seeing this, both Rin and Shirou opened their eyes in shock.
Shirou: Wait, isn't that?
Shirou hurriedly checked his pockets but found nothing.
Primis: So, you recognized it, don't you? It fell from your pocket when Lancer was kicking your butt. I picked it up and was about to return it to you when I realized that the Magic signature on it belongs to Rin. And noticing the blood on your uniform it was not hard to guess that you were injured. Putting all the pieces together, it was easy to guess that you suffered a life-threatening injury and Rin used this pendant to save your life.
Shirou: Tohsaka.
Hearing Primis explanation, Shirou looked at Tohsaka who averted her eyes.
Primis: And this is not a simple Jewel. The magic contained in it was so much and so strong that even surpassed Rin's ten years' worth of magic. In other words, this was Rin's one of the trump cards in this War. Yet, she used it on you. So, you owe her too much because she has no obligation to save your life.
Shirou: ...…
Primis: Not only that, but she also even came to save you again once she realized that Lancer would come for your life once he heard that you are still alive.
Shirou: ......…
Primis: And it was also her decision to bring you here to meet the Overseer in order to keep you safe again.
Shirou: ............
Primis: You owe her more than your life and she owe you nothing. Yet, you are trying to commit suicide again by entering the battle between the Servants. This means all her efforts to save you were in vain.
This time, Shirou could only look down in defeat. Rin looked at him but had no words to say since everything what Primis said was true. What's the point of saving someone again and again if that person kept on doing the same thing.
Primis: I have enough of you, Emiya Shirou. I will take the things in my hands now.
Shirou: What you will do?
Primis: You will know.
Next, Primis turned and looked at the Battlefield again. Saber condition was not good. There were many injuries on her right now. Even though her regeneration healed a lot of them, more had appeared.
Saber: *pant* *pant*
Saber was breathing heavily. She had pushed herself to the limit while fighting the Berserker. Holding her sword tightly she attacked again.
Saber: Hah!!!
CLING!!!
This time not only did Berserker stop her attack but also threw her in the air. Before she could stabilize herself, he appeared by her side and attacked her downward.
CLING!!!
FWOOSH!!
BANG!!!
Saber was smashed down the ground.
SWOOSH!!!
Appearing at her side again, Berserker attacked again.
DING!!!
FWOOSH!!!
BANG!!!
BANG!!!
BANG!!!
BANG!!!
BANG!!!
...
…
The attack threw Saber away again while destroying the trees on the way.
DANG!!
She finally stopped once she hit the metal pole. The Metal pole was bent backward because of the force.
Saber: Argh!! *cough* *cough*
Saber started to cough violently. Blood could be seen leaking from all parts of her body.
Witnessing this, Primis decided to move.
Primis: Betty, keep both of them safe.
Beatrice: Ok.
Letting go of Beatrice hand, Primis stepped forward.
Rin: Hey. Where are you going?
.
.
.
THUCH!!
Currently, Saber had already reached her limit. She even needed the support of her sword to even stand properly. But Berserker had no intention of stopping. He charged at Saber again and attacked.
However, this time before his Axe could touch her, a silver blade stopped it.
DING!!!
Everyone was bewildered witnessing this.
Primis: I think that's enough for today.
Saber: Master.
Saber looked at Primis back who was standing in front of her while protecting her.
Berserker: ROAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Berserker let out a terrifying roar in return. He didn't like how Primis interfered in his battle and stopped him.
Though before he could attack, Primis spun and kicked Berserker right across his face.
BAM!!!!!!!!!!
FWOOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!
The force behind the kick was so much that Berserker was sent to far distance like a cannon ball.
BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A huge explosion could be seen in the far distance. Shirou, Rin, and Illya jaws fell on the ground witnessing this.
'Primis: So what if your strength is at the realm of 5th-Dimensional God. Your defense is still that of Level 15 Pseudo-God.'
Archer, who was standing on the Church and watching the fight couldn't help but smile.
'Archer: He really is as strong as ever.'
Saber also steadied herself and stood up. She kept on looking at Primis' back and a smile also found its way on her face.
'Saber: As expected from someone who can take on the entire "Knights of Round Tables" on his own without breaking a sweat.'
Turning, Primis looked at Saber.
Primis: Celebi.
Space wrapped and a green pokémon with large baby-blue came out. This pokémon attracted everyone's attention.
'Rin & Illya: So cute~'
While Rin and Illya were thinking about that, Saber along with Archer who was looking from a distance narrowed their eyes.
'Saber & Archer: Strong.'
Celebi blinked its eyes before looking at Saber. Realizing what Primis wanted, it pointed its hand towards Saber. A green light covered Saber and all her injuries were healed. Saber tried to move her body a little to check before nodding her head and looking at Celebi.
Saber: Thank you.
Celebi: Bi… Bi… Bi…
Celebi replied enthusiastically before started to fly around them happily.
BANG!!!
All of sudden, Berserker shot out of the debris and arrived behind Primis who was looking at Saber and Celebi.
Saber & Rin: WATCH OUT!!
Saber and Rin shouted. Still Primis remained nonchalant, completely ignoring the Berserker. Just when Berserker Axe was about to hit Primis back, a "Shadow Claw" came out of his shadow and deflected it.
SWISH!!
DING!!!
Everyone was perplexed at this. They all looked at Primis shadow and saw a bright blue eye that had opened itself. They could feel an eerie feeling while looking at it. And then in the next moment, a horrible aura imbued with ill intent came out of shadow and hit Berserker. The force behind the attack was so much that Berserker was again thrown away in a far distance like an artillery.
FWOOSH!!
BOOM!!!!!!
That was the "Dark Pulse" which Berserker took at point-blank range.
