Chapter 48

Being described as despicable by Shinji Matou is like being considered a fellow by a mental patient. In necessary battles, Levi never generously displays his mercy and never spares so-called despicable means.

"Is it you? Great! This time I won’t let you off, Berserker, kill him!"

Like almost all the minor villains in movies, Shinji Matou gracefully waved his hands to signal his Servant to attack while swiftly retreating to a position he deemed safe, as skillfully as using chopsticks to eat.

Levi ignored this comical plot and lightly touched the ground after landing. The subsequent deafening explosion and flying debris confirmed the accuracy of his judgment.

The giant, recovering from the shock of the ambush, swung the rock sword in his hand like a club, chasing and smashing fiercely. Unfortunately, several attacks fell short by mere inches, merely helping EMIYA turn the smooth beach into a lunar surface.

While dodging the giant’s frenzied pursuit, Levi secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, he chose to evade at the first moment, ignoring the idiot Shinji Matou. He felt that the current Berserker was more ferocious in both strength and speed than the last time they met.

Perhaps the loss of cognitive ability had enhanced the giant’s intuition. He probably realized that this battle was extremely dangerous, forcing him to choose to destroy all non-allied life in front of him without receiving orders.

Regardless of Berserker’s condition, Levi certainly wouldn’t sit and wait to die. In the blink of an eye, he had been chased over a thousand meters due to dodging attacks. The use of teleportation was almost at its limit; if he didn’t stop, unpredictable situations might arise even for him.

—Come on.

The final teleportation directly escaped Berserker’s attack range. Standing on the soft sand, Levi raised the black decorative gun in his hands, which was clearly wrapped in countless terrifying electric arcs.

Electromagnetic gun—once the move that took the giant’s life. Although according to Rin’s information, the same attack couldn’t kill this opponent again, Levi didn’t mind trying it again.

After all, Heracles, the greatest hero of ancient Greece, was appearing in the Holy Grail War for the first time as a Berserker class. All previous analyses were based on ancient texts and the ambiguous words of his Master.

Boom!

It seemed as if the entire beach was lifted into the sky, with thick dust blocking out the sun. Standing far away, Shinji Matou only heard a loud explosion and was immediately engulfed in rolling yellow sand. The sand and dust that entered his lungs with the air caused him to bend over and cough uncontrollably.

Shinji felt he was about to suffocate. The pain of inhaling sand was unbearable, and the despair of lacking oxygen was even more intolerable. He ran for his life. Thanks to Levi’s attack, which blew all the soft sand into the air, otherwise, with his slow, uneven steps, he might have become the first casualty of the Holy Grail War in a pathetic manner.

"Cough, cough... Ah..."

Finally, he rolled and crawled into the shallow sea. Ignoring the salty water, he scooped up some to rinse his mouth. After several attempts, he finally washed away the sand in his mouth. Compared to the bitter taste, it was already considered delicious.

His eyelashes were also covered with sand, so he scooped up more water to wash his face. Finally able to see clearly, Shinji urgently searched for his Servant. Levi’s attack, which was like a powerful explosive, had shaken his confidence in Berserker.

Could the ‘strongest’ Heroic Spirit really be unharmed under such a powerful attack?

"Berserker! Ha, ha, ha, hahaha!"

Upon closer inspection, Shinji couldn’t help but thank heaven for its favor. Intense fear instantly turned into wild joy, and his疯狂的笑声仿佛要将胸中的压抑一口气释放出来。

只见犹如遭陨石撞击过的地面上，身高接近三米的庞大身躯正以孱弱地姿势蜷缩着。虽然看似狼狈，几乎全身的皮肤都被高温溶解，但那纹丝不动地身体里，明显还残留着生命气息。

受到电流灼烧和暴风撕裂的伤口，以肉眼可见的速度恢复。明显已经断裂成数块，仅靠肌肉勉强连接的双手，也渐渐还原。虽然看上去十分凄惨，可berserker，这位古希腊最伟大的英雄，仍然活着！

“哈哈！我不是说过吗！同样的攻击对我无敌的servant没用！”

Levi glared at his opponent not far away, slightly annoyed. Shinji Matou’s weak voice couldn’t catch his attention.

Seeing his strongest attack fall short, Levi knew this electromagnetic gun was far more powerful than their first encounter. Compared to the casual shot back then, the power of this deliberately charged attack was evident even to the naked eye. Yet, it still couldn’t inflict fatal damage on the giant. Were the Heroic Spirits’ Noble Phantasms really that powerful?

However, Levi soon had no time to be annoyed. A rapidly approaching presence caught his attention.

"Yvonne!"

Above the beach, at a height beyond the average person’s line of sight, a black-clad girl with golden hair fluttering behind her, like an angel, was clearly Levi’s Servant. Her white wings gently flapped, creating an invisible hurricane. In just a moment, she dove from the sky to the ground.

Shinji Matou was still shouting from a distance, but Levi had no time to listen. His eyes were only on his Servant.

Without greeting her Master, Yvonne, who had dived above Berserker, had her beautiful golden hair, which was flowing behind her due to the air current, suddenly gather and transform into countless sharp blades.

Shinji, who had just stood up from the sea, witnessed the angel’s descent. But before he could react, the pure angel suddenly transformed into a vengeful Medusa.

Just as he thought it was his hallucination that made him see the girl’s golden hair as weapons, the countless blades twisted and rushed towards the immobilized Berserker like Medusa’s snake hair.

The most famous hero of Greece, Heracles, whose body was as strong as steel and couldn’t be shattered even by Levi’s missile-like attacks, was now being gently disintegrated by the world’s softest hair right before his Master’s eyes.

Chunks of flesh scattered on the ground, a scene more nauseating than gruesome, which even the perpetrator, Yvonne, hadn’t anticipated.

The wings behind the girl seemed stained with blood, bursting and disappearing like bubbles. The angel, having lost her wings, fell from the sky. As she was about to touch the ground covered in blood, Yvonne instinctively closed her eyes.

"You, not listening again."

Instead of the nauseating, slippery sensation, she felt a warm, comforting embrace. Yvonne opened her eyes, her ruby-like eyes gazing at Levi, who looked exasperated.
