Chương 6: Chapter 6: A Brief Battle

The saber of white and the berserker of black started to fight.

The berserker having no sense of reason was easy for saber to dodge.

They both locked in a clash again, with berserker pushing both of his battle axes down onto sabers great sword. Berserker was stronger than Saber, but Saber had more skill and smarts than him.

He used his wings to get extra force as he pushed back against his axes. The axes were pushed back and saber moved backward as berserker then swung down his axes again in a rage making a crater in the ground where saber was before.

"You really are strong. It's a shame you have fallen into madness." Saber said while giving berserker eyes of pity.

Apparently berserker sensed that as he shot forward in a burst of speed that surprised saber as berserker attacked with the axes again, swinging them towards his chest.

It actually got good damage this time as Saber had a cut across his chest that was bleeding blue blood. It would have been worse if saber hadn't jumped back at the last second.

Saber then decided to stop playing the defensive as he moved faster than berserker with his wings pushing him along.

Saber had his sword at his waist, but not sheeted, ready to do a slash attack. Berserker saw that and swung his axe straight towards sabers head.

But Saber jumped at least second and got above berserker as he put a deep gash into berserkers left shoulder. The left arm was practically useless now.

Berserker swung his right axe behind him in hopes of getting saber as he landed but saber was nowhere to be seen, as he was currently in the air.

Berserker looked up and saw him and let out an enraged roar that saber wasn't fighting him on the ground.

But that didn't stop berserker from flexing his legs and jumping up towards him. The left axe had been dropped on the ground by now and with only the axe in his right hand, he used that single axe to do a downward strike to saber.

Saber put his guard up and blocked the axe coming down on top of his head. But doing so made him go back to the ground.

Saber managed to get his fall under control as he flipped and landed on the ground sliding back. He looked back and saw his master farther away them, far away from the fight.

But that split second of checking on his master was a mistake as berserker had charged at him again, and the attack probably would've worked if not for the roar he let out before his charge.

Saber, seeing and sensing the berserker practically flying towards him, grabbed the sword tightly with both hands as he pushed mana through it.

He swung the sword into the air, the sword itself hitting nothing but the effect of the attack working.

The sword itself was only created for two reasons. To have a weapon that wouldn't break easily and channel his mana through it. Making magic attacks used through it more powerful.

And the second use what was Osiris did now. When he swung that sword he unleashed a wave of powerful ice towards his opponent.

It was dark in the middle and lighter on the outside. It started as a skinny line on the ground before expanding and gaining spikes on it and making a mini hill.

It also managed to trap the bottom half of berserker, who struggled to get out of the ice that would be visible from a good vantage point.

Berserker was about to break out and Saber was about to heal any wounds he had before reengaging in the battle between himself and berserker.

But before either of them could continue their fight an arrow was shot towards saber who hit the arrow with his sword.

The arrow blew up the second it came into contact with the sword. It exploded into a blue fire that surrounded saber and when the fire and smoke cleared a pissed off saber was standing there.

He had burns around his key and the ice attached to him like armour had melted a bit. Saber would admit, he wasn't expecting the arrow to explode. Although that was a slight oversight in that as he knew he should be prepared for anything it still pissed him off that he didn't see that coming.

He turned to look what shot him and so did berserker, to see if he had another enemy but once berserker saw who it was he knew it wasn't an enemy, it was a man with white hair pushed back, tanned skin, and holy armour on.

"Who are you?!" Saber barked out his question. He didn't mind getting his fight interrupted or the fact that he was sneak attacked. He did that to his enemy's all the time, he was a demon after all, but it still pissed him off when it happened to him.

"You can call me archer. Retreat, enemy saber, and we'll continue this another night. Even if you're strong I don't think you can handle two servants on your own now, can you?" Archer asked him with a smirk that saber found really infuriating.

Meanwhile the only reason archer didn't want to continue this fight was because he wasn't sure if even him and berserker together could win this. Yeah, they could probably kill him, but they would be dead as well.

And archer had just analysed the sword in sabers hands. The sword itself wasn't the most powerful, but the history of it was bloody. Whoever this saber was, he had cut down armies by himself, which isn't unheard of for heroes, but he had cut down armies from heaven, like actual angels. And apparently had managed to piss off two of the most powerful archangels.

He wasn't willing to risk getting eliminated on the first night for just one servant. One servant for the price of two wasn't worth it in archers opinion.

Saber clicked his tongue as his wounds and armour started healing as he focused on that. "It's only the first night, so I'll be nice and accept your proposal." He put his sword on his shoulder and turned around and started walking towards his master, but also ready to strike in case they shot him in the back, he turned his head to the side and gave archer the side eye. "Don't think you're fooling me, archer. We both know I could kill the both of you… but then I would die as well. And I'm not willing to be known as one of the first servants to die in this war."

Archer dematerialised his bow and arrow. "It seems we think the same. I'm not willing to be known for that either." He put his hands up to the side in a sort of 'what can you do' manner.

Saber just laughed loudly. "But just because of that, don't think I'll spare either of you next time." With that he grabbed his master who was hiding behind a building and flew off back from where he came.

Back with archer he finally let out a breath, thankfully the saber wasn't just all pride and actually had some brains. If he was all pride he would have stayed and fought, but he actually had a Brain and actually realised what would happen if he fought. In Archer's opinion that made him even more of a dangerous enemy.

Archer heard the sound of ice cracking and when he looked back at it ice flew at him, he managed to duck down and avoid it but when he looked at the big pile of ice asterios, the berserker had broken free and was roaring at the sky in rage.

"Calm down berserker. He's gone." Archer said he didn't know how to deal with a berserker.

Asterios roared one more time before shaking his head aggressively before calming down to a reasonable level.

The berserker then dematerialised as berserkers and archers master came over to archer himself.

"What were you thinking?! Are you trying to get eliminated on the first day?! If it wasn't for us you wouldn't even be alive now!" Rin shouted at shiro who only shook his blonde head of hair as he glared at Rin.

"I could have handled it by myself. I don't need the help of a woman." Shiro refuted. "I could have even beaten that servant by myself, but I don't see a reason to use my power on someone lower than myself." Shiro said with absolute confidence.

Rin absolutely hated this guy, people like him were the most common people in the magus world but they were also the worst. Most of them having god complexes and believing that they could beat anyone and do anything, it annoyed the hell out of her.

"Fine! Next time you're going to die, I'll leave you to die! Let's go archer!" Rin shouted angrily. She turned and walked away with archer following behind her.

Shiro only clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Stupid bitch. If I get the chance I'll kill her myself, of course not before having my fun." With a smile only a mentally insane person could have, he walked away from the battlefield.

The ice is still there, broken from berserker, but not melting. If anything it made the surroundings of the ice even colder as if the ice was going to spread around.

"Can you believe him?! We saved him and he treated us like that!" Rin shouted, still angry. But she knew she had to calm down, they could be being watched right now so she had to be on guard, there was no way no other servant noticed that. "Did you find out who the saber was, archer?"

"Yeah, I found out a bit. But not his true name. It seems he is hiding it, like a protection spell. But from what I have gathered from the history of the sword he is a demon from the abyss, and he is an enemy of powerful angels, killing whole armies of them at once. There was a bit more but nothing of importance." Archer informed her. "The only thing that matters is that he is dangerous. Me and berserker could have fought him and killed him but we would have died as well, it wasn't worth the risk. He knew that as well and that's why he walked away."

"This'll be difficult." Rin mumbled.

Archer scoffed. "You're telling me, I might have to fight him."

"Don't worry archer. We won the last war, we can win this one too." Rin reassured him, although she was also slightly nervous. Not just because of that sabers legend, as most powerful servants had legends involving them destroying whole armies. It just always put her on edge knowing that these powerful people were walking around without a care in the world and could attack at any time.

Archer had a small smile on his face after watching Rin for a bit. She might look like she's not worried but he could tell by her clenched hands and slightly faster pace that she was on guard and nervous. She was like this during the last war as well, but the fact that she could act like nothing was wrong just made him feel like he- no, they had to win this.

"Yeah. Well win. And even if we don't I'll have killed at least one servant." Archer said. He knew he wasn't the strongest servant so even if they didn't win, killing one enemy servant would be good enough for him. Because as long as he protects Rin so she doesn't die and she survives till the end, she might get a chance at making a wish.
