Chapter 126: Holy Grail War (4)
~Third POV~
[Grass Plains]
Elsewhere on the battlefield Shakespeare and Shirou soon both found themselves meeting the Berserker of Black Frankenstein holding her mace. Shirou smiles seeing Frankenstein in a neutral tone, "It seems you're my opponent. Frankenstein."
Frankenstein merely growls as Shirou offers her a choice to join up with them in a neutral tone, "Frankenstein. A pitiful monster created by humans in pursuit of an ideal. In a sense, you are both a turning point and a midway stopover toward the goal that humans should seek. You find the fact that I know your true name suspicious. You are quite lucid, despite being a Berserker you retain a certain level of degree of high-level thought process."
Shirou soon extended a hand to Frankenstein in hopes of convincing her to his side with a friendly gesture and said in a neutral tone, "I know you quite well, I understand you. How about it? Would you be willing to come to our side in Berserker of Red's place?"
Frankenstein denies the chance but is startled by Shakespeare's words but is soon confronted with not being involved in the fight in a happy tone, "That's impossible, my dear Master. Oops, pardon me. I assure you I have no intention of fighting, the one to fight you will be this Master here. I will merely watch and support him from the sidelines."
*Click*
Activating his Black Keys Shirou was prepared to do battle against Frankenstein introducing himself in a calm tone, "Yes, I'll be the one to fight you. My name is Shirou Kotomine. If you ever feel like joining our side, please say so at any time."
*Swooosh*
Tossing 6 Black Keys at Frankenstein she immediately deflected them away with Shirou snapping his fingers at his command, "Set."
Surprised the Black Keys that she blocked immediately returned stunning Frankenstein but momentarily as she rushed forward towards Shirou. He responded by drawing his sword which is Rank C Noble Phantasm muttering to himself confidently, "Now then, I suppose it's about time. I'll be putting this to use, Caster."
Shirou soon drew his blade as Frankenstein attacked…
*WOOOSH*
*SHINNG*
Shirou managed to draw first blood slashing a part of Frankenstein's face angering her greatly charging recklessly to demolish him. Shakespeare in the background announces the fight in a prideful tone, "Like a tempest accompanied by raging flames! Like a downpour accompanied by lightning! A never-ending story begins here – "
*SHINNG*
Before Shakespeare could continue, he was soon struck down surprising Shirou seeing Mordred cut the Caster of Black in half in an annoyed tone, "Oi! Shut the hell up already! If you don't want to battle, then don't fucking be here!"
Shirou soon looked surprised by Mordred's actions as he cautiously clashed with Frankenstein who was equally surprised by the sudden departure of Caster of Black. Yet Shirou frowned in a neutral tone to Mordred, "Saber of Red… why have you betrayed your faction? Why did you strike down Shakespeare our Caster of Red."
Mordred grinned underneath her helmet feeling the power increase thanks to the Command Seal lifting her blade towards Shirou in a happy tone, "Easy. My Master commanded me to kill off the snake's head. And for betraying you? What a dumb question to say to me…"
Revealing her face seeing no point of hiding Shirou's eyes widen slightly recognizing her full name in genuine shock, "Mordred… [The Knight of Treachery]. How ironic."
Seeing his shocked expression Mordred grinned happily seeing the stun expression on his face getting into position to kill him activating her Noble Phantasm, "Heh. That will be your final mistake trying to go after my Master's life using your Servant. Now… DIE!!!"
*BOOOOM*
Mordred soon unleashed her Noble Phantasm as her weapon Clarent: Brilliantly Shinging Royal Sword as the air around them began to change. With the change came a sense of dread within Shirou and Frankenstein immediately moved away from the incoming attack ahead.
The space around Mordred and the sword becomes stained with dark red blood, and the blade of the sword, enveloped by the radiance of blood, gives off strange, violent, and furious sounds and begins to transform.
Changing from Clarent's normally pure and beautiful form, her great hatred transfigures the sword into a sinister and wicked blade befitting a demon. Upon raising the sword, she releases the blood radiance upon the enemy as a flash of light, a surging wave with the simple purpose of destruction.
The attack is achieved by Mordred combining [Mana Burst] with Clarent's ability to amplify magical energy and her hate for her father, manifesting red lightning that she directs at her enemy.
It releases a straight line of crimson lightning from the tip of her sword, destroying all in its path. Utilizing it takes a great deal of energy, giving her intense pain throughout her body, but her Master's competency and Command Seals allow her the strength to move immediately after utilizing it.
Mordred grinned as she began her chant with intent on killing Shirou on the spot yelling out loud, "This is the evil sword that destroyed my father… [Clarent Blood Arthuer]!!"
Shirou eyes widened seeing the incoming attack with a thought that annoyed him greatly using his Command Seals on the other Master gritting his teeth, 'I can't die here… not when I haven't saved humanity yet… I was hoping to reveal this later, but I can't die now! By my first Command Seal, I summon Rider here!!'
*Shiii*
Suddenly Achilles appeared in front of Shirou eyes confused eyeing the Priest weirdly as he was fighting Chiron, "What the – "
*BOOOM*
That was as much as he could say when Rider took the attack head-on. Thankfully for his Noble Phantasm [Andreias Amarantos] that grants him immortality and invincibility that allows any type of attack against him to be nullified, including physical damage, the 'normal attacks' of Servants, and even great Noble Phantasms as the A+ ranked.
It cannot be pierced by power alone, but it does have three weaknesses. The first is that only those who possess the blood of a god within their veins are permitted to harm him. It can only be fully negated by those possessing the Divinity Skill equaling or surpassing Rider's C-rank Divinity, so those possessing D-rank Divinity will have their attacks reduced to 75% of their total damage and those of E-rank Divinity will have their attacks reduced to 50% of their total damage.
Those without Divinity but in possession of Divine Constructs can deal damage so long as the Divine Construct is being used to attack, and the damage will be based on the weapon's rank in the same way as Divinity.
The second weakness is that his invincibility does not apply to acts that display friendship. The act of being bitten by a vampire is an act meant to make him into a comrade rather than kill him, so his body will respond by making part of himself weak in response to that request. The third is that damaging his heel will negate this blessing, causing him to lose his immortality as well as reduce his speed by approximately 70%.
Achilles tanking the [Clarnet Blood Arthur] he remained unharmed but mildly surprised by this development eyeing Mordred equally as confused, "What the hell!! I was fighting with Chiron Sensei then I was warped here! How – "
*PEW*
*BOOOM*
Before Achilles could comprehend the Master of Black Caules informed Fiore of Achilles being momentarily distracted which allowed the same arrow to strike Mash was attempted again by Chiron's Noble Phantasm [Antare Snipe].
[Antares Snipe: A Single Shot at the Celestial Scorpion] is the trump card of Chiron, the embodiment of the episode in his legend where he is said to always be aiming at the Scorpion in the sky after being turned into the Sagittarius constellation.
It manifests as a sniping Noble Phantasm that "shoots a shining star", based on Chiron being said to have attained the ultimate shot an Archer can reach by piercing a star. It is a conceptual materialization of the constellation, but it is not limited to being activated when the constellation appears in the sky.
It is not a shot fired from his bow, but a star that shoots a "comet shot", possessing a tracking ability to hit its target. It is capable of being fired the moment the target is decided by simply moving his fingers away from his already drawn bow, and it is unique in that it does not require its True Name to be released or for it to be filled with magical energy to activate it.
Despite having a high rank, it possesses low attack power, making it a weakness that it must be planned out to fatally hit the target as much as possible with each use for maximum efficiency. It can only be used once per night, limiting its usage to around fourteen times in an average two-week Holy Grail War.
And with the assistance of Caules using his familiar and informing Fiore of the news. Soon Fiore telepathically spoke to Chiron of the location allowing him to snipe Achilles while he was distracted and thanks to Mordred's Noble Phantasm the location to snipe at Achilles' heels instantly destroying his Noble Phantasm [Andreias Amarantos].
Achilles' eyes widened feeling a sharp pain and he immediately lost 70% of his speed in an instant growling at Shirou running away from the scene, "Ahhh!! What the hell!! Come back here you –"
*SPLAT*
Before he could argue Frankenstein steamed rolled bashing the un-invincible Achilles in the head instantly splattering his head and dying instantly with the built-up Magical Energy in the area thanks to Mordred.
Sparks shrouded Frankenstein following her Master's command to deal with the Servants of Red trying to take advantage much to Mordred's bitter frustration shielding her helmet annoyed, "Oh, you have got to be fucking kidding me here!! How the hell did I fucking manage to team kill the WRONG guy!! Move it –"
*Wooosh*
That was as far as Mordred could speak before narrowly avoiding a strike from the charged Frankenstein as she grumbly thought in an annoyed tone, 'Oh now you want to fight! Just fan fucking tastic!! Arugh… Master is so not gonna pleased by this. Better inform him of the botched job.'
*KLANG*
Battling against Frankenstein focusing on the battle Mash soon responded to their link in an astounded tone, 'Mordred… Like… what the fuck? How did you get the wrong guy!! I thought you had him! You had one job how did you botch this up?!'
Mordred avoiding another strike clashed with her sword against Frankenstein's mace creating a shockwave as they clashed as she responded to her Master grumbling, 'Ugh… trust me Master I wish I knew how. Somehow for a Master that has Assassin, he can apparently summon Rider. Who the fuck knows maybe he can summon all the other Red Servants how the heck should I know!!'
*BAM*
Avoiding being slammed down Mash sighed at the other end of their talks in an annoyed tone, 'Sigh… fair point. But hey at least Mister Invincible Hero is out of the way if we fought him again. Now just focus on the battlefield since Shirou might command our allies to shoot us down. Be safe… Baeber.'
*BOOOM*
Mordred using her [Mana Burst] to summon red lightning growled pushing Frankenstein as they clashed weapons in a very angry tone, "Master… DON'T… CALL ME!!! BAEBER!!!! AHHHH!!!"
Mordred having been fed up decided to take her frustration out on Frankenstein the only nearby Servant to vent her frustration of killing the wrong guy on accident and letting Shirou live to fight another day.
