"Everyone, be careful! That's Bashmu, one of the beasts created by Tiamat, and the last divine beast Semiramis summoned! It's incredibly poisonous, so be sure not to get hit by its venom. Its poison is even stronger than Hydra's!"
Mo Shuying landed. The Wind King Hammer effect on his Sword of Promised Victory had temporarily worn off, so the air currents reformed, concealing the holy sword. If you looked closely, this sword was quite different from Saber's Sword of Promised Victory.
"Bashmu, you say? Then where's Semiramis?"
Luvia arrived at that moment too. She shot out thin strands from her hands, like Spider-Man, sticking to the wall and pulling herself up.
As for Tohsaka Rin, having lost her Servant, she was now evacuating with Matou Sakura, with Bazett protecting them.
"She's probably dead, swallowed by this thing."
Mo Shuying pointed his sword at Bashmu, and the big beast clearly wasn't happy, letting out an angry roar!
"*ROAR!! POOF!*"
Bashmu opened its mouth and spat! A green mist of poison surged out! Astolfo pulled out its Noble Phantasm, the Magic Flute. The flute instantly grew larger than itself, and it puffed out its cheeks, blowing hard!
"*PUFF!!!*"
Terrifying sound waves created a turbulent airflow that blasted out! It blew the toxic breath back, and the sound made Bashmu incredibly uncomfortable. While it didn't cause any damage, it was extremely unpleasant! Physiologically unbearable!
"*ROAR!*"
Since the poison gas was useless, Bashmu charged directly at Astolfo, its massive mouth scraping the ground! It looked like it would swallow the ground along with everything else!
"I've got this!" x2!
At that moment, Mo Shuying and Saber showed incredible teamwork. They quickly blocked Astolfo, simultaneously releasing the wind barrier on their swords!
"*WIND KING HAMMER!!*" x2!
"*BOOM!!*"
Both of them attacked at the same time! Two sword winds merged into one and violently slammed into Bashmu's mouth!
"*ROAR!*"
Any creature's mouth is its weak point, and Bashmu was no exception. Hit by two Noble Phantasm-level attacks at once! Bashmu spewed dark green blood and threw its head back!
Immediately after!
"*ROAR!*"
A roar! A dark figure charged with great force! Like a wild bull, it slammed hard into the left side of Bashmu's head!
"*BANG!*"
Bashmu's truck-sized head was knocked askew by Heracles's impact! One of its poisonous fangs was broken off and sent flying!
"Nicely done, Berserker!"
Illya excitedly cheered for Heracles, but no sooner had she spoken than she saw Bashmu suddenly turn its head! It sprayed a stream of venom at Heracles, drenching his entire body!
"*Sizzle!*"
The sound of flesh corroding instantly rang out. Heracles let out a low growl and knelt to the ground. His once sturdy body's muscles were completely corroded, leaving only his indestructible bones!
"*ROAR!*"
Seeing the enemy who broke its tooth annihilated, Bashmu let out a joyful roar.
Illya's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but shout!
"*BERSERKER!!!*"
A single cry! It was like a Command Seal charging! Like the miraculous effect of Spirit Origin restoration! Heracles, now reduced to just bones, suddenly moved!
"*ROAR!!*"
A roar came from who knew where! Heracles's body suddenly burst into brilliant red light!
The light twisted, and in an instant, Heracles's body fully recovered! To Bashmu's astonished eyes! He threw a punch!
"*BANG!*"
The crisp collision was even accompanied by a sonic boom! Bashmu rolled its eyes and fell backward, slamming into the large hole behind it, breaking through the roof, and falling further down!
"*ROAR!*"
Heracles raised his hand, summoning his axe-sword, and also leaped down. Immediately after, a series of chopping sounds echoed!
Everyone moved closer and, through the crack in the roof, saw what was happening below. Heracles was utterly dominating Bashmu! Punching, kicking, and hacking, making Bashmu howl in pain! He clearly had experience!
Bashmu resisted frantically, but unfortunately, when it sprayed venom onto Heracles again, it had little effect because Heracles had already developed resistance!
"*ROAR!!*"
With venom useless, Bashmu tried to use its physical advantage. Its massive body coiled up! It trapped Heracles in the center and began to constrict!
Heracles held his arms out, propping up Bashmu's constricting body, resisting the squeeze. But the possibility of escape was also sealed, allowing Bashmu to open its massive mouth and bite down directly! It was preparing to swallow Heracles into its stomach, which was said to be able to digest even gods!
However!
"*Ex!*"
"*BOOM!*"
Mo Shuying stood at the edge of the hole, unleashing the Sword of Promised Victory! The sword glowed with brilliant golden light! The Saber nearby's eyelids twitched!
As soon as the Mana accumulation was complete—Mo Shuying might not have much of anything else, but his Mana was definitely top-tier! The moment Sword of Promised Victory was fully condensed!
"*CALIBER!!!*"
Mo Shuying used Flash to appear directly in front of Bashmu's head! Grasping the sword with both hands! He plunged it straight into Bashmu's mouth!
"*BOOM!!*"
Golden light erupted, flowing like an endless river! It engulfed Bashmu's head, blasted through the walls of the Matou Residence, and shot straight through! It finally exploded only after hitting a distant mountaintop!
"*RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!!*"
A massive blaze shot skyward, vivid even in broad daylight. Everyone knows the Holy Grail War is supposed to be conducted in secret, so this must have been because a meteor fell and leveled the mountain. Yes, that must be it.
"Thud!"
Mo Shuying gently landed after releasing his power, facing Bashmu's headless corpse.
"*THUD!*"
The colossal body crashed to the ground, green blood oozing out. Mo Shuying thought for a moment, then waved his hand to collect a small amount.
He's an Assassin, after all. It's not too much to put some poison on his weapon, right? And it probably wouldn't be too much to drip a couple of drops into an enemy's food either, right? It's all for work, you know.
In any case, the immense body of the defeated Bashmu then began to disintegrate, dissolving into Mana.
Ding~ Congratulations on defeating the advanced monster Bashmu. You have gained 8000 experience points. Experience meets upgrade requirements. Level has increased.
Ding~ Host has been marked. You have gained [Tiamat's Grudge].
Tiamat's Grudge: The Earth Mother Goddess Tiamat will bear resentment towards those who kill her children. The marked individual will become the primary target of monsters created by Tiamat.
His level increased; he was finally level 23.
As for this Tiamat's Grudge, Mo Shuying merely frowned slightly and ignored it. Tiamat couldn't possibly cross dimensions to deal with him anyway, and if more monsters showed up, they'd just be free experience.
Finally, Mo Shuying looked at the ground, where nothing remained except an Assassin Class Card, and secretly thought it was a shame. And they call this a divine beast?
While these summoned or modified monsters did give experience, they didn't drop any items. He wondered if it was because they were modified, or because they weren't in another dimension, or perhaps because he used a Lancer Class Card today?
Still, Mo Shuying had collected the poisonous blood, so it wasn't a complete loss.
"Roar"
Heracles stared coldly at Mo Shuying. He seemed expressionless, but he was actually angry, angry that Mo Shuying had stolen the kill at the end.
Mo Shuying didn't notice this, but Illya, at that moment, pounced onto Heracles's shoulder.
"That was amazing, Berserker! Berserker really is the strongest!"
The little girl was incredibly excited. Heracles glanced at Illya and quietly, softly, responded.
"Ah."
That single "Ah" was already the second word Heracles could utter in his Berserker class, aside from roaring.
Mo Shuying scratched his head, thinking, Didn't I just take care of Bashmu? How is Heracles the strongest? But seeing how close Heracles and Illya were, Mo Shuying didn't have the heart to say anything more.
Fine, Berserker is the strongest then. If you're cute, everything you say is right.
