Bab 296: There is no salvation for treacherous
Even Tamazuki was unable to listen any longer and swallowed Matou Zouken whole even though he felt disgusted, but compared to "being" in the One Punch Man world... somehow Zouken was better?
Nevertheless, Saber, who also came out with Tamazuki, frowned, feeling extremely disgusted by this place as it was covered in crawling disgusting worms.
Still, the two noticed a figure in the corner.
In the corner, a figure could be seen, lying weakly on the ground as his body spasmed uncontrollably as if he was in great pain.
Yet, even with such a miserable appearance, he seemed... happy?
Suddenly, however, a shrill voice filled with hatred aimed at Saber.
"ARTHUURRR....!!!"
The armored figure was surrounded by hatred and evil as his entire body was corroded, staring at Saber.
Saber frowned and raised her sword while wondering why this Servant had such a big hatred toward her.
Tamazuki knew that Zouken hadn't fully died, but he could take care of that old worm later since he thought he needed to face Berserker first. He looked at Saber and asked, "Saber, don't you know him?"
"...I don't know." Saber shook her head since she had never seen someone like this.
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
Yet, the blackened Servant was like a wild beast. Even if there was nothing on his hands, he approached Saber crazily, ready to fight him.
Facing this attack, Saber was at ease, and she didn't think that she would lose, especially when all of her statuses were enhanced due to Tamazuki's Prana.
At the time of their confrontation, there was no resistance.
Berserker, who moved like a wild beast, was blasted and slammed into the wall of the dungeon, causing the entire foundation of the mansion to shake as if being hit by an earthquake.
"Arthur....!!!"
Even so, Berserker was still staring at her with such hatred. Even if his head was covered in a helmet, his eyes, which could be seen through the gap of the helmet, were staring menacingly and obsessively at Saber's visage.
Yet, Saber didn't seem to realize the identity of this Servant. However, she might not care about him as she only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
Still, if it was on the original, she might feel doubt about who this Servant was, especially when she was targeted several times.
Nevertheless, at the end of the original story, she realizes the identity of the Berserker, but it doesn't change her decision and slay this Servant.
However, Tamazuki knew that facing Saber, Berserker had never been serious.
Even if Berserker lost his mind, he would never raise his sword against his King.
Especially when Berserker never summoned his Noble Phantasm, Arondight.
Saber was about to end this Servant, but she was stopped.
"Tamazuki?"
"Let me end him, Saber."
Saber raised her brow. "But if you do so, then I am afraid that I haven't done anything for you." As a Servant, she felt that she was the one who was being taken care of by her Master instead of otherwise.
"It's okay. It's too cheap if you are the one who kills him. Instead, it should be more painful for him to be killed by him instead of you."
"...is it only me, or do you hate this Servant so much?"
"Oh, I hate him so much."
"Why?"
"Because this person had caused so much pain for you."
"........"
Saber blinked her eyes before she connected the dots of her doubt. She quickly realized the identity of this blackened knight, and she couldn't help but cast a doubted yet complicated gaze.
"...Lancelot?"
This time, Berserker, or Lancelot, seemed to be in silence, hearing his name being called by his King.
Under Saber's order, Lancelot was a brave and handsome knight admired by thousands of people.
Yet now?
What was he?
Lancelot had become mad, crazy, and ugly.
As Tamazuki had said before, there was no good ending for a knight who had betrayed his Lord.
A knight was just someone who was being paid and given glory due to the tradition, yet when that knight was betrayed, then they should prepare for the consequence as their position was nothing but was given by their Lord.
When Lancelot became the knight under Arturia, he was given everything and even had the body of the wife of his King; he enjoyed his life much, yet when his action was known, he should be prepared for the price of his action.
"Even a god is better than you since it has never bitten the Master who has taken care of it, yet you? Not only have you caused the destruction of her kingdom and even ran away from the woman who had entered her everything to you; before appearing once again in front of her, asking her to kill you as if asking for salvation.
"I have never seen someone as shameless as you!"
Except for himself, of course.
After all, Tamazuki knew that he wasn't someone good either, but he wouldn't abandon his woman like this woman.
"If I am in your place, I might as well commit suicide due to shame!"
"ARGGHHH! ARGGGHHH!"
Berserker was screaming as if in pain.
Tamazuki's words were like a sharp lance that stabbed into his body.
Tamazuki was correct.
What did Berserker want to do?
Didn't Berserker just want to have salvation from the King that he had betrayed?
Wishing her to kill him with her hands for what he had done?
If so, then why should he run away in the first place, even abandoning the woman that she loved?
In front of Arturia, Berserker should just commit suicide, yet—
His head was beheaded by Tamazuki.
His eyes widened as his head slid down from his neck.
If he could have a chance to return alive once again, he would scream, 'How dirty!'
Yet, against this treacherous knight, who cares about the method of killing?
Tamazuki killed Berserker and devoured him.
Tamazuki devoured Berserker without mercy and swallowed everything, including his Noble Phantasm.
In his hand, he summoned the legendary sword, Arondight in his hand.
Unlike Arturia's Excalibur, which had a golden color, Arondight was dark like a night.
"He died?"
Tamazuki turned and looked at Saber, who had a complicated expression on her face.
"You okay?"
"Yes." Saber nodded before she sighed and shook her head. Her trust in someone was something that couldn't be gained that easily, so when she trusted someone, she would give her everything. Naturally, when she was betrayed, it hurt her.
However, this was over.
Tamazuki burnt all the worms in this dungeon before he hugged her, so she could calm down.
"...I am not weak."
Saber showed resistance.
"I am the weak one. I am afraid of the worms."
"..."
Saber was speechless, but she didn't push him this time and hugged him. "Then... I will hug you."
"Thanks."
"...no, I am the one who should thank you."
Saber sighed and wondered why she became so weak by his side. She knew that it was dangerous since the feeling of relying on someone was so addictive, and she was afraid that she might not be able to wake up from this feeling.
Still, if there was a problem, the place where they hugged was a bit strange.
So, after Saber felt better, she asked, "What about Berserker's Master?"
"It should be over there..."
