Chapter 845: Yecheng: I'm Just a Passerby
Chapter 845: Yecheng: I'm Just a Passerby
As Sasaki Kojiro was summoned as an Assassin, it also signaled that seven Heroic Spirits of different Classes had been called, marking the official start of the Fifth Holy Grail War.
However, all of this had little to do with Yecheng, as he had initially intended to be a mere bystander in this War.
Due to his previous interference, the old magus, Kuzuki Zangyin, had been disposed of by Yecheng, ensuring that Sakura wouldn't turn into a boss-level threat this time.
After several days of cultivating, Yecheng's household provisions were nearly depleted, so this outing was primarily to restock his supplies.
But despite it being his first outing in days, he couldn't tell if the Type-Moon world was messing with him or if his luck was genuinely terrible.
On his way back, Yecheng carried a tote bag filled with happy water and instant noodles in one hand, while the other held several newly released games, walking with anticipation. Yet, a figure suddenly appeared, crashing down like a meteor right in front of him...
"Boom——————!"
As the figure plummeted at supersonic speed, the concrete road beneath them shattered, creating a deep pit several meters wide.
The gale that followed sent shards of stone flying, and Yecheng, carrying his convenience bag, watched as the stones hurtled towards him. Initially unconcerned, his current physical strength rendered these stone projectiles harmless, akin to bullets ricocheting off his body.
However, just as he stood motionless, a black-haired girl in a red woolen sweater and a black miniskirt took a swift step forward, appearing before Yecheng.
She tossed a gem from her hand, creating a flame magic array in front of her, shielding Yecheng from the impact.
"I had set up a barrier to disperse ordinary people around this area, so why are there still people entering?
Damn it, why do these unexpected situations keep happening? First, it was that guy, Shirou Emiya, and now a random passerby."
Haruka Faruzuki was frustrated, as she had also set up a barrier to disperse ordinary people at school, but Shirou Emiya had managed to break through it.
This time, while fighting other Masters, her dispersal barrier had failed again, allowing an "ordinary person" to stumble into their midst.
Faruzuki even began to question if she had overlooked some crucial step when learning this magic.
"Berserker, take care of Faruzuki first!"
Following the orders of a certain loli, the black-clad muscle brother wielded a massive axe-sword, his terrifying speed contrasting his bulky frame. In an instant, he appeared before Faruzuki.
The Saber, who had been knocked away earlier, wanted to assist, but as Shirou Emiya's Master, she was outclassed in both "Strength" and "Agility" compared to Berserker Hercules.
From afar, the Heroic Spirit Emiya used his 'Far Sight' to witness this scene and quickly employed 'Projection Magic' to attach a spiral sword to his bowstring.
However, as he prepared to provide long-range support, his actions abruptly halted.
The 'Spiral Arrow' possessed immense destructive power, and while it might not harm the great hero Hercules, Faruzuki, as his Master, would undoubtedly be left with no remains.
"Why are you just standing there? Run! Is that guy targeting me, or are you too scared to move?
Damn it, why do these things always happen to me!"
As Berserker's greatsword was about to strike, Faruzuki reached into her skirt pocket and pulled out all the gems from her little treasure trove.
The Faruzuki family specialized in gem magic, and when they were wealthy, it wasn't an issue. But since her father's death and the family's decline, every time Faruzuki used magic, it pained her.
Even Saber couldn't face this Berserker head-on, and of course, Rin Tohsaka was well aware that even with her defensive magic, she would still be in grave danger.
However, even in the face of life and death, Rin didn't forget to urge Ye Cheng, this "ordinary man," to run for his life.
"Boom——————!"
"Rin———!"
"Tohsaka-san———!"
As the Berserker's massive axe-sword descended, Saber and Shirou Emiya, not far away, cried out in unison.
But as the dust in the air gradually settled, the scene before them left everyone present in disbelief.
The Berserker, who had just sent Saber flying with a single strike, now had his black axe-sword caught by a single hand!
And it wasn't just anyone who caught the Berserker's mighty blow; it was the very same white-haired man whom Rin had dismissed as an ordinary man and urged to flee.
The Berserker's strength was evident from how Saber kept getting knocked back during their melee combat.
Yet, this seemingly ordinary passerby had caught the Berserker's powerful strike with one hand. You could imagine how absurd that was.
After catching the Berserker's strike, Ye Cheng stood on a cracked ground, and the Berserker tried to retract his sword, but soon he realized, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge the axe-sword.
"Not bad strength, but you're in the Berserker class. If you had come as an Archer, I'd have liked to see what you could do in this Holy Grail War."
Heracles, the great hero of Greek mythology who accomplished the Twelve Labors, a feat even the gods couldn't match, was a shining figure in the entire Greek pantheon.
Ye Cheng naturally held some admiration for such a figure and wanted to test his skills against him.
Unfortunately, the current Heracles lacked the rationality of his Berserker class, and his strength was significantly weakened compared to the Archer class, which could wield the powerful Noble Phantasm "Divine Bow."
Gripping the Berserker's axe-sword with one hand, Ye Cheng followed up with a kick, striking the Berserker's abdomen.
A circular shockwave appeared behind the Berserker, and the next second, the towering figure, over two meters tall, flew backward as if hit by a meteor, sliding dozens of meters across the ground!
"Black-haired girl, you helped me once, and now I'm saving you. So, we're even, right?"
After kicking the Berserker away, Ye Cheng, like a bystander, picked up the tote bag with the happy water and turned to leave.
Rin Tohsaka, finally snapping out of her shock, called out to Ye Cheng, who was about to leave, "Wait, who are you? Are you also a Heroic Spirit in this Holy Grail War?
If you're a Heroic Spirit, then..."
Before Rin could finish, Ye Cheng, already turning away, waved his hand to interrupt her, "Hold on, I understand your thoughts, but unfortunately, I'm just an ordinary passerby.
I'm not a Heroic Spirit, and I have no interest in this Holy Grail War."
