Chapter 157: Chapter 150

Is this how I die, suffocated in the bosom of a busty older woman?

[You just take all the joy in my existence and drag it into a dark alley to do unspeakable things to it. I expected a great warrior of legends, and you summoned a dominatrix.]

Oppai~

[Kill yourself.]

Alright, time to be serious.

I had to put a little bit of strength into pulling myself away, and not entirely because I didn't want to move.

I looked up at the woman who I had just summoned, this servant, a being I could feel the power seep out from, and she just gave me this affectionate look.

"It's nice to meet you, Berserker." I introduced myself, though I hadn't expected to have an actual conversation with a Berserker servant. "I'm Wilhelm Henry Schweinorg, I'll be in your care."

"My son is so polite" She beamed.

Had I just been adopted?

"Can I have your true name so I know who I'm working with?"

"I am Minamoto-No-Raikou, Leader of the Four Heavenly Kings." She proudly proclaimed.

Huh.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised, I personally knew the female version of King Arthur, and I had a lot of knowledge about other Servants, some of which did not have their gender recorded correctly into the annals of history.

Still, it's pretty neat to meet a hero from my home country.

I used my authority as a Master, knowing her true name now, to mentally pull up her status to the forefront of my mind.

--------------------------------

Fascinating. The information of her abilities filled my head. "Berserker, how are your stats compared to a normal summon?" I asked.

"My mana rank is far beyond what I would normally have. Otherwise, my other stats are all higher to a certain extent as well." She happily replied.

As expected, I suppose. My magical energy thoroughly enhanced her upon summoning, and she essentially doesn't have to worry about depleting my own magical energy through the bond.

Her Mad Enhancement is 'Ex' Rank, meaning it surpasses any reasonable measuring system. Yet, she's standing here having a conversation with me, looking perfectly lucid…

Atleast she is obscenely strong if these stats are anything to go by. She also has some interesting abilities, and I can see why she was summoned when I just opted for someone that could match me. If my memory on her story is correct, she's a half-Oni or something like that, the son(daughter) of a god who had ties to Indra, or was Indra that had come to Japan.

And her elemental alignment was lightning.

I would have to be an idiot to not see the resemblances there.

I rubbed my chin as I continued looking them over. Her 'Mystery-slayer' Skill was rather interesting and it should give her a huge leg up against opponents who heavily rely on such things. She's probably the perfect counter to Casters.

"Berserker…." I paused my musing, looking up at her. "What wish do you have for the Grail?"

"Wish? I don't have one." She said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Then why did you accept my summons?" I looked at her in confusion.

"You were willing to reach out to a demonic being like me, how could I not accept?" The way she looked both sad and happy at the same time, it was tugging at my heart strings. "I will do my best to support my son and dote on him as much as possible." She gave a little fist pump in the air, like she was encouraging herself.

Cute.

I let out a sigh. "No wonder the Grail chose you as my servant."

"Hmm?" She looked at me.

"If we're going to be working together, I guess we shouldn't keep secrets." I ran a hand through the air. "As far as 'demonic beings' go, I think I have you beat here." I let my wings sprout out of my back, revealing my devil heritage.

She looked at me in surprise, but oddly enough, there was no trace of hesitance nor scorn. "You're not an Oni." She muttered, mostly to herself.

"Devil, actually. Bastard son of Lucifer." I said flippantly. "Mom was a normal human though, so half-Devil."

Wasn't really a point in hiding it, she might see them in the Dream Cycle anyways.

The bond a Master and Servant shared is an odd thing. It's strong enough that when sleeping, each dreams of the other's life, called the Dream Cycle.

With a blink, I was once again being suffocated by her ample cleavage, a distraught Berserker practically crying ontop of me. "Master! It must have been so hard for you. Don't worry Momma is here and she'll take care of you for now on."

I'm starting to think her Mad Enhancement has to do with her clingy personality.

Despite the weirdness of the situation…..this did bring back memories of my own mother…without the face in boobs part, obviously.

I had to forcefully pull myself away again, it seems like she was intentionally using more strength this time.

"Do you know everything that's going on in this war?" I finally asked, I need to get an idea of what she did and did not know to better plan out our next course of action.

"A Great Grail War, two sides of seven Masters and seven Servants, I am Berserker of Red." She nodded.

"Good, that makes things easier." It was a bit odd how the Grail imparted knowledge. Even Artoria had some strange holes in her understanding due to the nature of the transference. "I'm not here for a wish, like you." I stated, earning her apt attention. "I'm going to take the Grail, and I don't plan on letting anyone stand in my way."

"Master, I'll help however I can."

"I have a general idea of where it is right now." I could recall the information that Zelretch gave me quite easily. "The Black Faction, the Yggdamillennia family, they're hiding it somewhere in their fortress. And I doubt I need to tell you how heavily fortified it is." I could easily sneak in, but I had no idea where I was going to find it and I didn't like my chances with being ganged up on by 7 Servants, and to a lesser extent some competent Magi.

Her mood shifted to something more serious. "A frontal assault would be foolish." She paused in her words, looking a little in thought. It was truly strange to see a Berserker servant with such high intelligence and sense of reason. "Do you want form an alliance with the Red Faction?"

"I doubt they'll take kindly to me wanting to monopolize the grail." I chuckled. The battle was a seven versus seven, but once a side was destroyed, it turned back into a regular Grail War, so everyone had to be careful of their own teammates. "Perhaps we should meet with our 'team' before deciding our next move."

"Do you know where they are?" She asked.

"I do not." I blinked in realization. "They should be gathering in the nearby town, which sat a little distance away from the Black faction's seat of power." I tapped my chin. "I'll let my familiar scout." I pulled out my hat, and Sir Wiggles poked his head from within.

"Cute." Berserker looked at him, biting her finger as if to hold herself back.

"You can pet him if you want, he likes the attention." I picked him up. My familiar wiggling his cute little butt in the air.

"Kya~" She happily accepted the rabbit into her arms, immediately loving on the animal.

It never fails.

"Will he be alright?" Berserker asked, already smitten with Sir Wiggles.

"He's fast." I reassured her, and as the words left my mouth, Sir Wiggles crackled with Lightning, zipping out of her hands and darting all over the room to show off.

Berserker clapped excitedly. "A phantasmal species, my son is so talented."

I just shook my head at her antics, it would take some getting used to. "Sir Wiggles, you have a mission." I called his attention, he immediately stopped, waiting for me to continue. "I need you to find the nearest town, and search for the largest concentration of Magical Energy." I commanded, adding in some thoughts through the mental link to better help him understand.

****

Of course it's a church, why wouldn't it be a church?

I mentally groaned, walking down the street.

The town wasn't very far away, and there was a Church that sat on a hill, practically radiating magical energy compared to the remainder of this place.

I looked up to see a dove sitting in a nearby tree, it was staring at me intently as I narrowed my eyes at it and flashed my command seals. At the very least, I don't think I'll be attacked just for approaching, but I was on guard and Berserker was astralized near me.

Getting closer, the old wooden doors of the church opened up and a priest walked out. He had an odd look about him, and the fact that he appeared to be Japanese made me do a double take. I didn't want to make assumptions about people, but it was surprising to see out here like this.

"Welcome." He said politely with a kind smile plastered on his face. But….something seemed off about him, I just couldn't put my finger on it.

"Are you the representative of the Red Faction?" I stopped a dozen or so feet away.

"I am Shirou Kotomine, a Master, just like you." He took off a glove to show off the command seals on his hand. "I'm glad you've finally arrived. Deimlet Pentel was supposed to have come over a week ago, but we were told last minute that he had sold his position as a master without any further information."

"How inconvenient for you." My lips tinned. I didn't know why, but I had a bad impression of him right off the bat. The fact that his family name was 'Kotomine' was throwing up red flags all over the place.

"No matter, you're here now." His expression didn't change. "Why don't you step inside and we can discuss our next step for fighting the Black Faction?" He gestured towards the Church.

"I quite enjoy this night time air, why don't we just speak out here?" I countered.

"Well, you never know what eyes are on us." He smiled innocently. "Magi can be quite the deplorable bunch." Ah, the thinly veiled distaste for those who use Magecraft.

"Eyes?" I questioned, feigning ignorance about the dozen or so Familiars that were watching me from every angle right now. "Oh, I see what you're talking about. Why don't I handle them if it's making you uncomfortable?" I mentally called out to Sir Wiggles.

Shirou was about to speak until a bolt of lightning zipped around everywhere, and he just started at me with a blank look on his face, Sir Wiggles now on my shoulder and chunks of doves falling to the ground all over the place.

"Birds are always an excellent choice for a Familiar, but I prefer Rabbits." I gave him a little pat for a job well done.

{Master, I believe there are several Servants close by in spirit form.} Berserker informed me over the mental link we shared.

Astralization, or spirit form as it's often called. It was an ability of servants, almost being completely imperceptible to the greater world, requiring another spiritual existence to sense them.

"I'm curious." I spoke up again. "Where are the other masters?"

"They're busy." Shirou said bluntly, seemingly unperturbed about me taking out the obvious familiars. "They deemed it below them to partake in such a task." He explained, taking a step forward. "I would be pleased to have a conversation at length with you, but I feel a more private setting is appropriate."

I looked at the church and a small shiver went down my spine. For being such a shabby little place, the holy presence there felt a bit too…..palpable "I'm quite fine where I am."

"Do you not trust the house of God?" He raised an eyebrow. "All are safe inside these hallowed walls."

"Oh? Tell that to all the children your priests have 'sheltered'." I snorted. I don't know why I was being so combative, just something really irked me about this guy. I don't particularly like priests, but I'm not usually so abrasive for no reason….

There was a visible twitch on his stoic face. "Is there a reason you don't want to approach?"

Did he notice…?

"Yeah, there's a priest giving me major 'stranger danger' vibes." I narrowed my eyes at him. "I thought I would alteast be safe since I was a bit too old for the average clergyman."

"I'm afraid, I will have to insist regardless." His smile dropped off unto something more neutral, and his whole stance shifted. "I would prefer to do this without any violence."

Wow, throwing away the charade already?

"Interesting. Here's my answer." I held up my middle finger. "Saber!" I called out, having Berserker Materialize. Let them figure that one out. She in no way acts like a Berserker, and she uses a huge sword….if the glove fits.

"Archer, Rider." The priest responded; two servants appeared by his side. "Don't kill him, but make sure he can't escape."

"Sorry, kid." The apparent 'Rider' spoke. He held a spear in hand, green hair and a cocky smile on his face.

"I don't like being ordered by someone other than my master." The woman, Archer, shot Shirou a sideways glance, clasping her bow tightly. She had cat ears and a tail, I wondered if she was some type of Youkai in life.

Without another word, Archer already sent a handful of arrows flying towards Berserker, who easily deflected them.

Rider moved, and he was fast. It was enough that I saw Berserker's eyes widen in surprise. He slipped by her in that brief moment when she was focused on the Archer servant.

{It's fine, I got this.} I mentally sent towards Berserker. I didn't know if her 'clingy' nature would win out over her more rational side, but she seemed to accept my words and focused on Archer.

I reinforced my body, and cast all the strengthening spells I knew.

"It's nothing personal." The Rider servant said, almost bored, as he got in my face, his spear arching towards me and I could easily see it would be a non-lethal blow, but enough to take me down.

Lightning crackled along my skin, and I sidestepped, the spear passing through the air and missing me. The utter surprise on his face said everything about the situation, and it shifted to complete shock when I gripped his face, and slammed him into the ground, cracking the stones beneath us.

"Nothing personal." I smiled at him, summoning Dawnbreaker from my ring, and stabbed it down at him.

Chapter 158: Chapter 151

Dawnbreaker's light illuminated the dark night, its razor ship edge falling down onto the servant I had under my grasp. His widened eyes revealing the utter surprise at having found himself in this position. No doubt a Servant would have never expected a 'Master' to get the better of them like this, even if they were lackadaisical in their approach.

He muffled something under my hand that was grasped firmly around his mouth, my muscles tensing to keep him on the ground. I had a better position in this brief contest of strength, and I was able to hold him down as Dawnbreaker came down.

A quick jab by him towards my face was only met by me quickly moving my head to the side. He was in no spot to throw a proper punch either. He growled under my grip as Dawnbreaker touched his armor, pushing through the magical steel that was his Servant Armament and struck true…..is what I would like to say, but my sword would no longer budge even after puncturing through his armor.

I blinked, looking at my sword, then the fuming Servant. A passive Noble Phantasm...huh, that's unfortunate. "Errors have been made."

His eyes twitched in anger, and I could make out a snarl as the magical energy around him visibly exploded.

"Master!" Berserker called out as I was already a dozen feet away. I turned to see her deflecting several arrows, barely paying Archer any attention, much to the feline Servant's annoyance.

"Saber." I still decided to play that little joke as long as I could. "If any other servant activates a Noble Phantasm, immediately use yours on their Master." I pointed towards Shirou who was watching off to the side.

He seemed a bit frail at first glance, but my instincts were telling me he didn't join in not because he couldn't but because he didn't want to.

Normally, I would relay information like that over the mental link, but I wanted them to know. Even Shirou frowned at my command, so it would at least serve its purpose.

"You!" The Rider servant stood back up, the dust around him clearing as he flicked some dirt off his silver armor.

"Sup." I greeted, acting as if he was no one in my eyes. I was making some guesses that he was one to get riled up easily, which should be to my benefit. Despite what had just happened, he wasn't an opponent I could take lightly. And his defenses did give me pause for concern, I had to figure out the limitations or his identity.

Despite having quite a bit of my former self's memories' I didn't have an encyclopedic knowledge of every servant and their looks. I knew most legends and what not, but I couldn't identify most by appearances, but I was able to narrow the list down exponentially by our first encounter.

"Bastard." Rider growled, holding his hand out, his spear erupting in magical energy and jutting back into his hand from where it sat on the ground a few feet away. "I was gonna go easy on you, make it as painless as possible."

I call bullshit!

Can everyone do that!? Why was it so hard for me to learn!

"Calm down, princess. It isn't like you haven't had another man stab you with his 'sword' before." I grinned. "Speaking of, want to give me a very detailed explanation on how you were able to no-sell my sword from piercing you?"

"Oh, sure." His expression shifted, a nonchalant smile on his face, spear swinging over his shoulder.

"Wait, really?"

"Haha. No." His eyes narrowed and the ground below him exploded at his steps, a whirlwind kicked up at his movements.

It was my turn to be surprised, a very sharp spear only inches away from my eye.

What insane speed.

My Aura flared up and lightning crackled across my skin, I jerked my head to the side and felt a chunk of aura taken as his spear passed by my head. I thought I had a moment to regain myself, but there were a half a dozen more spears covering my vision.

I couldn't help but laugh. He completely abandoned the idea of 'catching' me, each of these was meant to take my life. I force myself to swing my sword, to meet each one even if I was barely to catch them all in time, either deflecting them just enough, or dodging by a narrow margin.

He had me on the back foot completely with this obscene speed of his. It was either start losing ground, or reveal some of my cards, and I don't think he's even hitting his top gear right now.

With a shout, I knocked his spear away with a full swing, as if he found an opening, his speed increased by an entire fold, and its sharp tip found my face again.

There was a cheeky smile on his face, as if to tell me I lost.

Instead of a 'desperate' attempt to block or dodge, I took a deep breath.

"FUS ROH DAH" My shout bellowed out; the invisible force rippled the very space infront of me.

The Servant's spear couldn't move forward an inch and he was swept up, blown back into the church behind him, collapsing the side wall.

"Rider, you idiot, stop playing around!" A shout grabbed my attention as I looked to the side. Archer had a line of blood down her chest as she managed to get away from my Berserker, a little wounded.

"Your opponent is me." Berserker swung her sword and a burst of purple lightning shot out in the direction of the Archer servant.

Archer leapt up into the air, firing off more arrows, dancing around the surroundings to evade more lightning strikes.

"Hahaha, you bastard." Rider finally walked out of the semi-destroyed church, a grin on his face. "Were those Divine Words? I didn't think something like that existed anymore."

Divine Words, weren't those predominantly used over in Greece during the Age of Gods?

"And you're still unharmed." I clicked my tongue.

"Rider stop playing." Shirou spoke up from the side, he didn't look all too pleased that the Church was ruined.

Rider shot him a look of clear annoyance. "You're not my master." His lips thinned. "Besides, it's not like I can capture this guy." He jabbed his thumb towards me. "It's gonna be either killing him or nothing, boss man."

Shirou let out a sigh. "Fine, deal with him then."

Really curious what's gotten going on with him to want to remove me so quickly.

"Well, you heard him." Rider turned his attention back at me. "I'm surprised, I didn't expect anyone of this caliber to exist anymore."

"I drink plenty of milk." I grinned, gripping Dawnbreaker tight.

"I'm not one for words, usually. I mostly like to just fight, everything else isn't important, but I'm curious." He cracked his neck and tapped his boots against the ground. "Are you really human?" His eyes narrowed.

"My mom was human." I rested my sword on my shoulder. "Though, I don't think you're one to throw stones. Glass houses and all that."

"Haha, can you tell that much?" He ran a hand through his hair. "You definitely don't' have any divinity though."

"Well, I was taking a shot in the dark, thanks for confirming my suspicions." I smirked.

Rider let out a grunt in annoyance. "This is why I hate fighting you wordy types, always trying to scheme something."

And his comment about me 'definitely' not having divinity….curious. I could put money on his 'armor' correlating to divinity in some aspect. Well, putting all the pieces together, I think I can guess who he is. "Too late for regrets, I know your true name now."

Rider raised an eyebrow.

"That kind of skill, not fully human, and a passive defense I can't penetrate? There's only one person I can think of with those characteristics."

Rider just let out a sigh, but looked pleased all the same. "I guess it'll make it more interesting, and I can't help how famous I am." He held out his arms with a 'what can I do' expression.

"You're Siegfried." I declared.

He wasn't.

Rider paused, staring at me. "What…?"

"You're Siegfried. I have seen through your identity."

"I'm not Siegfried." He looked rather annoyed.

"Enough, your lies won't work on me. Who else could have such defenses like that, why you could call them the scales of a dragon."

"I'm not Siegfried" Rider said more adamantly, a subtle growl encasing his words.

"Come, Wandering Knight of the Netherlands, face me." I held my sword up.

[Why are you calling him Siegfried, he's clearly Achilles.]

Because I find it hilarious.

[Carry on then.]

"I'm going to stab you. I don't know when I'll stop." His expression turned dark.

"Hmph, you can try. I know your weakness now; I just have to find the spot on your back." I raised my sword leveled with him.

"Die." He said without much emotion, disappearing from the spot he was in.

My Aura pulsed, as there was now a Spear trying to push through it into my Stomach. I looked down, then up at the face infront of mine, a sneer of anger only inches away from my eyes.

How fucking fast is he?

It was practically instantaneous.

He didn't seem to stop, his free hand reeling back, clench fist coming for my face.

{Berserker} I called out through our link and my servant came barreling towards Rider like a force of nature. The Rider Servant, being as fast as he was, was able to intercept my servant's blade, but his arms slightly buckled.

I waived my hand in the air, summoning several Rune Circles, firing off bolts of lighting at an incoming hale of arrows from the Archer servant who had been doing a good job of keeping Berserker occupied.

"You can actually wound me!" Rider shouted in joy, a small bit of blood dripping down his arm as I turned my head for a moment to catch the last moment of their brief exchange. Rider just continued to cackle as they traded blows.

I was right, divinity is the key to getting around his 'armor', though I don't know the true limits.

{Berserker, get ready, we're going to retreat.}

It wasn't an idea situation at the moment, I wanted to regroup to get a better understanding of what's going on.

{I believe there are several more servants waiting around us, do you have a plan?} She asked.

Well, good enough reason as any to leg it. I was confident to take on Rider, maybe even Archer added on by myself, but several more Servants with Noble Phantasms? I wasn't suicidal.

{I do, wait for my signal.} I mentally nodded, putting Dawnbreaker away and taking out Mirage. There was no point in hiding Mirage since I would be using it more often.

"One Hundred Birds." I swung out my sword, the lightning-infused Sword Phantoms filling the space between me and Archer, as she quickly jumped off her sniping position to avoid my attack, giving me a moments reprieve.

"It's pretty unfair that your master isn't participating, Rider." I took out one of the little gifts that Jinn gave me. "I wouldn't want to leave anyone out." I pivoted and threw it towards Shirou.

Shirou wasted no time taking out a Black Key, I felt a little shiver down my spine as the conceptual armament of the Church was actualized. A holy weapon that could definitely give me a bad time. Why did this guy give me a worse feeling than Rider?

He threw the sword-dagger-rapier towards the Dust Bomb I had thrown a moment prior.

"NO, YOU FOOL." A new voice called out, a servant materializing to grab Shirou. A woman with long black hair and an elegant dress...I was not staring at her extremely cute pointy ears.

As soon as the Black Key made contact with the dust bomb, it exploded out in a burst of pure Ice. The element basically given form and compressed down, then further enhanced and turned into a bomb.

{Now.} I called out as Berserker Astralized and Rider turn to look, dumbfounded.

"Later, Siegfried."

I sliced through the air and jumped through a portal while everyone was distracted, heading back to our initial safe house, leaving behind a massive, jutted sphere of ice that had almost instantaneously formed at the point of contact. I was saddened that I couldn't take the time to truly appreciate Jinn's hard work.

***

"Are you hurt anywhere!?" Berserker was immediately on me, looking for any kind of wound.

"I'm fine." I grumbled out, letting her inspect me. It was strange how quickly she went from combat mode to…..doting 'mother'. "More importantly, we should go over what happened." I waved my hand, weaving an illusion in the air to show the images of everyone we had just met.

"Shirou, the Master, though he doesn't appear to be the Master of Rider or Archer. Definitely some strange things going on here." It wasn't particularly hard to guess what was truly going on and why he wanted to capture me. "What did you think of Archer?"

"I would have defeated her, given more time. I feared if I pressed her too quickly, she may have taken the battle into the city." Berserker stated. "I do not believe she is a Youkai, but I don't know who she is. There have been many women in history with archery skills like she displayed."

"Yeah, and I can't think of any 'cat girls' off the top of my head like that." I agreed with her thoughts. "Rider is Achilles." I said plainly.

Berserker blinked at me. "Why were you calling him Siegfried?"

"To rile him up. He seemed like the type to tunnel vision when angry." I shrugged.

I also thought it was funny.

"That was very dangerous, what you did. Fighting a servant all by yourself." She crossed her arms, like she was chastising me.

"I was fine." I waived off her concerns. "I could take him if we kept going." I reassured her, though she still looked worried.

Well, he wasn't either. I doubt anyone there was putting all their cards on the table, too much to lose this early on without any kind of decisive victory in view.

Admittedly, my Aura was running low. Anymore and It would have burst. His last attack was very – very fast and I did not anticipate it at all. Something I'll have to pay attention to in the future.

I had a handle on the situation, even though I retreated quickly, I didn't feel too threatened at that moment. There were clearly more Servants around, but it was obvious that the Red faction was trying their best to deal with us without taking any loses. With us not allying with them they were already down one servant, if we managed to even take one with us, in their eyes, they would be down two then. It was in their best interest to slowly wear us down with their other Servants stepping in if it looked bad.

They also couldn't recklessly use their Noble Phantasms since I very vocally gave Berserker a command to go all out on Shirou if anyone used theirs. That should have also given them pause for concern.

Adding onto all of that, who knows if anyone else was peeking. An enemy Assassin, a Magus that specializes in information gathering, or even an expert Caster on the other side. It was one of the reasons I wanted to stay in the open. It hurt them as the greater 'faction' to reveal their cards than it was for me as a 'singular' individual.

I closed my eyes for a moment to check on Sir Wiggles, he was already almost back, having escaped as the fighting started.

Good boy.

With a thought, I created some Illusions into the air, weaving them to based on my memories of the people we had just fought. Little screens that showed the Servants and Shirou.

"We did good." I stated, tapping my chin. "The situation wasn't as I would have preferred, but we made out with some valuable information." I pointed towards the 'screens'. "Three servants identified, as well as the mastermind behind the Red Faction. We have Rider's true name, which is also good, so we know his weakness.

"Was this the servant who appeared at the end?" Berserker was pointing towards the woman.

"Yup, I'm guessing Assassin or Caster." I nodded. "Though I'm leaning towards caster since she was able to perceive the threat of my bomb that quickly." What a shame, it could have done some damage if she didn't interfere, though I feel like he still received a little bit of my gift.

"Did you approach them knowing we would fight?" She looked at me.

"It was a coin flip, if I were to be honest. A team fight like this, with a guaranteed fight once a single side wins? It was basically asking for someone to take control right off the bat."

While I would have loved to have taken Rider out in a surprise attack, it was still to my benefit that Red didn't lose too much strength yet. They would be useful in my plans.

On a side note. "That lightning of yours, it was very beautiful." I was the teeniest bit jealous of hers.

"Kya~ You're so sweet." She grabbed me again, something that was quickly becoming normal. "Mommy is going to spoil you."

Oh, well, I can take a moment to enjoy my face being pushed between a pair of magnificent breasts.

***

Kind of tradition for the first fight of every grail war to just be a probe. To answer some questions, Dawnbreaker is not a Divine Construct. Explained this before. Being created by a 'god' does not make something a Divine Construct. It's a bit of a misnomer because even Excalibur, a creation of the Fae, is a Divine Construct. You can just consider the term to mean anything that can't be attained by mortal craft. Dawnbreaker was created by Meridia, but it was created with the intent to be wielded by Mortals.

Things will start escalating when Noble Phantasms are thrown around.
