Chapter 139
We didnt need to walk all that much further when we heard a wrathful roar that shook the air, not only that, but a series of thundering explosions also seemed to be aimed at us and even in the relative darkness we were able to see the trail of dust trailing towards us.
"Here comes that big bastard. Berserker you help me out on the front line." Cu ordered obviously not trusting the frankly untrained in any sort of Chaldean master, but he seemed to have some trust for me as he didnt bother giving me or Nero any orders.
Finally, the myth, the legend Hercules broke through the tree's blocking our vison of him but the moment he came within view a series of explosion fiercely collided with him as Cu's primordial runes shot blue fireballs and Nero summoned two golden cannons to shoot a large laser into Hercules.
"Roar!!!" Hercules was undaunted by the hastily shot fireball by Cu and Nero's laser's shot by her two golden cannons although tore small chunks of him as it hit the corners of his body, they were unable to directly pierce into the giant man's chest.
Hercules dead sprinted at us wildly waving his large stone sword that was more than five meters long and Berserker Tamamo met his charge by dashing forward and rather than suicidally attempting stonewall Hercules's charge she slid across the ground to dodge his swipe with his sword and used her claws to rake bloody gashes on the back of the mad servant.
Hercules rolled across the ground from being basically hamstrung for a moment and the loss of motion allowed to fully take in the monstrous man.
I knew the corruption from the tainted grail would change him but I didnt think it would be this bad. The once ash colored giant of a man was near completely black and had large red streaks going through his body and his eyes glowed a truly mad crimson demoting his complete insanity even as he roared again and shook the air with the strength of his voice. nove(l)bi(n.)com
But thankfully he wasn't capable of using sound as a weapon like Alfia could.
Seeing the massive iron block starting to fucking tilt as Hercules screamed his rage to the world I wordless smash another four blocks of metals around the first one and then put the fused high quality stone I saved from both Moria and the time when me and the Familia went out on that stupid camping trip and stumbled into a damn descendant of the One-Eyed Black Dragon which further crushed Hercules.
"This kinda feels like cheating..." Fujimaru muttered to Olga and Mash who were just awkwardly standing there as me and Tamamo didnt give Hercules any time to go after the Caster's harassing him, let alone the three girls standing off to the side not contributing anything.
Cu then used a series of Runes he had been working on by scraping them onto the ground with his feet and the ground around my metal blocks became lava and had lightning coursing through it and although it clearly exhausted him, a couple minutes later he said that Hercules died and already faded away.
I nodded hearing how he faded away and then collected my metal and the stones ignoring Fujimaru and Olga's deadpan stares of my method of combat.
"Alright, guys let's loot the Einsbern Castle and I will reward anyone who can bring me the notes or a guide on the creation of Homunculus. Other than that, its first come, first serve." I said after I got my breath back as it was frankly a little out of order after my first real fight using the Sun Breathing style.
I wasn't sure if they had such knowledge here, but I wanted the Einsbern method of making Homunculi as the Chaldean way, obviously had its problems seeing how Mash was the only survivor up until this point.
"Alright!" Fujimaru said excitedly, she knew her limits and if she came across it, she knew she would get more out of whatever I gave with her lack of talent with mage craft.
However, Olga knew the value of the Einsbern families Homunculi and Wishcraft, a magecraft where you basically throw so much mana at something that reality basically buckles under the weight of the mana and gives you your desire. But in reality, it was highly inefficient as for example if you were to use a simple like magecraft to summon a finger of flame to light a candle and then did the same with wishcraft, the wishcraft would cost more than five times as much.
But although it had its ups and downs, it could do still do some crazy stuff like rewrite reality through the use of a holy grail and it's infinite mana as that was the whole goal of a Holy Grail War which is to use the mana accumulated and the energy from servants souls to grant a wish to the winner.
