Pendragon's Infinity Gauntlet

Page 37

Rin's gaze quickly shifted from Pendragon to behind her, to the spot where Berserker had been torn to pieces and vaporized.

"Self-regeneration? No, this is already time reversal!"

Behind Pendragon, where Berserker was annihilated, time seemed to reverse. Vaporized flesh and entrails appeared in the air, then pieced together like jigsaw puzzles, quickly reforming into a monster body resembling the Mountain of Flesh.

"It's getting tough..."

While Berserker was on the countdown to respawn, Pendragon seized the opportunity to slash him a few times.

She's not some chivalrous, quilt-bound queen. Those guys who need to transform and pose, try transforming and casting a spell in front of her.

Pendragon will absolutely not give his opponent the chance to transform into a little fairy!

However, Berserker's resurrection ritual doesn't come with a time-stop ability; it seems to grant invincibility...

P.S.: RW played really well! If it weren't for the 2-0 score, today's update would have been much more exciting. I'll try my best to release a second update now, so you won't have to wait after midnight.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Gods Fighting

Chapter 64

Pendragon's evil holy sword could only leave conspicuous white marks when it struck, not even breaking the skin!

No, this seems to be Berserker's Noble Phantasm effect, preventing him from being killed twice by the same power.

After losing one of his lives, Berserker's body became virtually indestructible, completely immune to Pendragon's weapons!

Once he's fully resurrected, Pendragon can use the evil holy sword to attack him again. He probably won't be satisfied with just paralyzing him with electricity, or he could just punch him in the face.

Alternatively, by using power exceeding the limits of his Noble Phantasm—what's commonly known as cheating—one could break through the limitations and achieve something like killing seven people with a single sword strike.

Even a snap of the fingers could turn twelve lives into six, how ridiculous.

Of course, Pendragon didn't want to do that.

Seeing that Rin Tohsaka needed Artoria's support even to stand, Pendragon suddenly had a bold idea...

"I'm hungry, I've lost my sugar... I have no energy!"

Pendragon, whose magic power was still relatively abundant, abandoned Berserker and Illya, the master and servant pair, and appeared before Rin Tohsaka, pretending to be unsteady.

Although she sounded listless and spoke in a weak tone, the single ahoge (cowlick) on her head, which was out of her control, seemed full of energy and swayed mischievously.

Based on Rin's experience over the past two days, when Saber is truly exhausted, her ahoge (antenna-like hair stick) will also become listless or even disappear.

So, is the ascension to Heroic Spirit status all-encompassing? Even the ahoge (cowlick) has evolved into a life form along with it?

At this point, Rin didn't know why she still had the mind to let her thoughts wander; perhaps it was the still-active ahoge (cowlick) that gave her a sense of security...

Immediately afterwards, Rin held up three fingers with her arm around Artoria's shoulder, implying that the late-night snack would be tripled again, and that she should stop showing off.

Pendragon understood Rin Tohsaka's gaze, but she was determined to cause trouble, so how could she give up just because the client's Master saw through her plan?

"No, I really can't do anything about it. He attacked a few times while he was resurrecting and casting, and you saw it."

Pendragon sheathed his sword, glanced at Berserker who was recovering in place, and continued, "I estimate that his Noble Phantasm is not just a simple resurrection, but also makes him immune to previous fatal damage."

"If I'm not mistaken, Berserker should still have eleven lives left, making him immune to twelve types of damage. How can we possibly defeat him? Even if we call all the Servants together, we still won't be able to break through his defenses."

Pendragon pushed up his glasses to hide his wicked grin, and shrugged expressionlessly.

"Have you already seen through their identity and their weapon? In such a short time?"

Rin looked on with suspicion. "Do you think I'm stupid? We've only been fighting for a few minutes, and you've already dug up all my secrets? Even if I read the script beforehand, this is ridiculous... There's a limit to how much you can slack off!"

"This Berserker is Hercules, and his Noble Phantasm is the Twelve Trials. He even tested out the effects. If you don't believe me, go ask his master. Such an invincible Noble Phantasm, even if others knew about it, they wouldn't care, let alone that the other party is just a self-important brat."

"Hercules... Hercules? A demigod?"

Rin Tohsaka wanted to take a deep breath, but since she wasn't feeling well, she held back and decided to conserve her energy.

Encountering two demigods in one night, is this some kind of Dragon Ball war or a battle of gods?

Are there any normal Servants this time around?

The young lady was nearly driven mad, and then Pendragon delivered another piece of devastating news—

Hercules not only possesses the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill to protect his body, but also has the Duan Yu brand eight-core Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique), perfectly combining "strength to lift a cauldron" and "lightness as a swallow".

The difference between fighting and retreating is that one is to directly experience his immense strength; the other is to first be "light as a swallow" during the retreat, and then be forced to have a philosophical exchange with Berserker about lifting a tripod.

Fighting is out of the question, and running away is impossible; the only way to maintain appearances is to call in new Servants.

"Archer! Right, Pendragon, quickly summon Archer with a Command Spell!"

Saber's attacks were no longer effective, and Rin cleverly remembered that there was another Servant on her side who was traveling somewhere. At this point, it was clear that she couldn't afford to waste Command Seals.

"How to do?"

Artoria handed Rin over to Pendragon, whose clothes were neat and spotless, and placed the back of her hand, which was engraved with three Command Seals, in front of Rin.

Although participating in this ritual was like honing her swordsmanship, this monster was not among her targets.

Although she has enough courage to face even a crisis with a nine-out-of-ten chance of death, she would rather avoid a situation with no chance of survival if possible.

The deeper Artoria's understanding of kendo became, the more she realized that humanity has its limits.

Only monsters can defeat monsters!

Of course, in this situation, she had already taken her wooden sword out of her scabbard and was holding it in her hand.

When necessary, Artoria will never sit idly by and lack the courage to resist.

"Actually, the situation isn't that bad."

Pendragon and the others chatted for a long time, but Berserker's resurrection scroll hadn't finished loading. This was probably because this world was similar to the Dragon Ball world, with many people needing resurrection services and queuing in the underworld. Berserker didn't have any banknotes printed by the Heavenly Bank to cut in line, so it took a while…

The above is pure speculation. The truth is that Pendragon slowed down the flow of time in that region, simply like snapping his fingers.

Even Ilya is definitely not right. Berserker has been inactive for so long, there must be something wrong with him.

Rin Tohsaka glared at Pendragon with her beautiful eyes, urging him to hurry up and tell her his solution. If she weren't too weak, she would have bitten him.

"If Rin is in good condition, I can lend you my power. Dealing with that big guy shouldn't be a problem."

Pendragon cleared his throat slightly and spoke in a raspy, emotionless voice.

"???"

You can ignore things like not being in good shape, but can you still borrow the power of a Servant? Don't try to fool me, I'm not that well-educated.

Rin-sama feels that ever since she summoned Saber, her worldview is being reshaped at a bizarre pace.

"No problem, trust me."

P.S.: This book has already used the trope of kicking someone's head away. By the way, you can probably guess what will happen next, *winks*.

Chapter Sixty-Five: True Mana Replenishment (This is definitely not clickbait)

Chapter 65

Pendragon confidently gave Rin a thumbs-up and said, "The main question now is whether your mana reserves can withstand my power?"

"What do you want to do?"

Miss Rin's gaze instantly turned wary, but her body was limp and powerless to resist.

"For the sake of our lives, I've decided to make a sacrifice. Accept it, and be grateful, woman, open your mouth."

"Yamero!"

The only way the young lady could resist was to glare fiercely at Pendragon with her beautiful, jewel-like eyes, then be held in her arms and have her lips smelled.

After confirming that there was no bad breath or odor, Pendragon brought his lips closer.

Soft, chewy, and slightly warm, it tastes similar to fruit gummies, but without any flavor...

Pendragon's lips are just so-so, a bit bland. Aren't all beautiful girls' lips supposed to be as sweet as honey? Rin Tohsaka's lips, on the other hand, look like they have a really great color.

Neither Pendragon nor Rin Tohsaka closed their eyes, and neither admitted it was a kiss, so they both stared at each other with wide eyes.

The distance was incredibly close; all Pendragon could see were piercing blue-green eyes, their luster as clear and lustrous as polished gemstones, almost unfairly beautiful.

Rin's lips tasted alright, but the flavor was very bland, and Pendragon's tongue didn't linger there before venturing inside.

Despite the fierce resistance, Rin Tohsaka's jaw muscles were as swollen as a British Shorthair's face, but her tongue, with its A-level strength, easily pried open her neat pearly teeth.

Hmm, the tongue also has no taste and is very soft, but it has a lot of strength when you close your lips. The texture is slightly inferior because it has a gritty, grainy feel.

Since it didn't taste good, Pendragon began to replenish her mana. Although it was far from the legendary sweet taste, which greatly disappointed her, she had already started eating it, so she had to finish it even with tears in her eyes.

Whether it was due to Pendragon's nourishing properties or not, Rin Tohsaka's cheeks quickly heated up afterward, becoming frighteningly hot, and her eyes slowly closed.

Rin: Actually, I was reluctant at first...

However, after realizing that she could not resist and could not waste her Command Seals on such a thing, Rin Tohsaka had no choice but to accept it.

Besides, Saber is just as beautiful as me, so this is a win-win situation.

So, after quietly convincing herself, Rin slowly moved her hands from Pendragon's shoulders, encircling her neck, and began to respond with a forceful kiss.

It's actually quite fun?

Rin Tohsaka moved her head slightly and then took Pendragon's lips into her mouth, teasing and sucking them gently with her tongue.

As Saber's slightly sweet saliva was sucked in and swallowed, the ritual of exchanging bodily fluids was successfully completed, and Rin felt her empty body instantly begin to surge with magical power...

And as time went on, under Artoria's bewildered gaze, Rin felt her body getting hotter and hotter, not knowing whether it was because she was shy or because this guy was too nourishing and her body couldn't handle it.

"Berserker!"

Ilya was somewhat annoyed by Hercules's dazed behavior, and the girl's call already carried a clear urging tone.

Perhaps the revival effect of a Noble Phantasm takes this long to take effect...

After all, this was the first time they had been forced into this situation, and they had absolutely no experience in reviving.

"Boom!"

There was still no stringy texture when their lips parted, and Pendragon looked at Rin with disdain.

Because her experience wasn't very good, she was almost completely drained by Rin, and was so thirsty that she wanted to drink some divine happiness water.

"Your NP gauge is full, hurry up and get going!"

Berserker, who had been "trapped" there by Pendragon and was quietly waiting to be resurrected, finally recovered, and his rock-like muscles began to gleam with a coppery sheen.

The monster spewed out a long plume of white steam, like a cruel machine coming to a complete start, and then vanished in the next instant!

He was carrying out his master's orders, charging forward to kill the three girls at incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Artoria, and his rough axe-sword crashed down on her like a stone pillar!

With her eyes still glazed over, Rin Tohsaka was pushed away by Pendragon and involuntarily flew towards Berserker.

At the same time, Pendragon used his telekinesis to pull the blushing Artoria over.

"???"

The overwhelming pressure and strong wind finally brought the absent-minded Miss Rin back to reality, and she immediately made a hilarious facial expression.

WTF? ? ?

I was just kissing the breathtakingly beautiful Saber when, in the blink of an eye, she turned into a muscular, devilish man.

There was no time to think about it. A huge stone slab, big enough to be used as a shield, came crashing down on her head. The heavy air blast felt like a small mountain pressing down on her. If she got hit, she would definitely turn into Rin-chan!

"what are you doing!"

Artoria watched helplessly as Pendragon pushed Rin under the monster's greatsword, as if she would be crushed in the next instant. She immediately stared at the Servant with the same features as her as an enemy, while struggling to rush over and help Rin.

"Don't worry, we'll just watch."

Pendragon gestured for her to calm down, indicating that his decision to replace Rin with Rin was definitely not simply to sabotage the client.

In fact, when Rin was forced to use her magic-enhanced fist to withstand Berserker's weapon, she was already mentally prepared to have her entire arm crippled.

By proactively reaching out to catch the weapon, you might create a momentary opening, allowing you to dodge Berserker's attack and hold out until Saber comes to your rescue.

Sacrifice the pawn to save the king; you have to give up something to gain something.

This poor child still hasn't realized that it was her "Saber" who sent her to take the blame.

"what?"

His magically enhanced eyesight was fixed on the axe-sword that Berserker was hurling down, and at the moment of contact—
