Berserk and Unexpected Situation

Rushing to the inside of the castle, I then meet up with Rider and Sieg, seeing him trying to evacuate with the group of Homunculus, seeing this I ask both of them to run as far away as possible and forget about the other Homunculus, hearing that Sieg showing an unwilling expression, but the other Homunculus hope him to evacuate and saying the will deal with the problem themselves.

Rider then came towards me and said. "Alex I have a commission for you, I hope to use the gold coin to help deal with Berserker."

hearing this I regret giving her the coin but her request is not impossible. "Rider I can accept the request but I need your help."

"thanks Alex, here's the coin, so what should I do?"

"I need you to convince Jeanne to help dealing with Berserker, I need her Noble Phantasm for a guarantee."

"ok then Alex I will rush to Jeanne." with that he summon his hippogriff and now are locating Jeanne.

with that I summon the golem and turn it into a bird again, and fly to the sky, I intend to use the mana stone and insert it into Berserker and let it absorb the rampaging mana, I took out the rest of mana stone, which only amount to 5 of them, I hope they can survive since one of them is quite expensive since this is a high quality mana stone I need to pay a huge amount of money to buy it.

I first use one of them as the bow and then put one of the mana stone and different from the arrow I fired before where it will scatter after releasing the arrow, this one increase the piercing power with adding a spinning motion after releasing it.

I fired them one by one until I shot all four of them, the final shot this time I condense an arrow until the limit of mana that it can hold, with that I am waiting for the right moment until Berserker mana was absorb so the arrow to finish him off can pierce it's core and sending him back to the throne of hero.

***

in the dark dungeon beneath the Black Faction Castle a woman was watching the scene outside with spying device.

"I won't let you finish of berserker that easily." she then send her mana to berserker seeing this she showed a sickly and sadistic smile towards a man in the picture. "I hope you die in this explosion along with that lowly Homunculus, how dare you steal Rider from me."

after that she went outside from the dungeon slowly disappearing.

***

seeing that Berserker mana is not reducing but rather increasing at a fast rate I know that something went wrong, I control the mana stone to increase the absorbing rate and make it release the mana slowly by absorbing it into my own body.

I then redirect the mana to support Gramps in the battle against Atlanta and Achilles this operation took a large amount of concentration to do this, doing four thing at the same time is very exhausting.

the body of berserker started to become smaller and smaller, and finally seeing this I release the arrow that I condense and also increase it's speed to increase the penetrating power.

the arrow penetrate the body of Berserker, making him started to dissipate, but he didn't intend to disappear without a sound.

Berserker then roared at me and said. "Oppressor I won't let it end that easily." the body then started to shine seeing this I land my self beside Sieg and transformed the Giant Bird made of wind into a Giant golem made of rock to make a shield for me, Sieg and the Homunculus.

Berserker then release all of the mana in his body while also disappearing, feeling the Golem body was slowly being penetrated by Berserker outburst I strengthen the Golem body while also letting it regenerating but it will only slow the attack down.

"Sieg help by making a Shield of mana ." hearing my Sieg made a shield using mana some of the Homunculus that see this started to help by making another layer of mana shield.

"Sieg can you contact Rider and ask where is he right now?"

"ok let me ask." he then send a telepathy to Rider and ask him where is he, he then said. "Alex, Rider is on his way with the Saintess."

I keep holding on to support the shield, but cracks started to appear and some of the attack started to touch the Barrier made by Sieg and the Homunculus, some of the Homunculus started to faint.

the Golem core finally shatter because of the enhancing, seeing this I started to sweet, I then Immediately made my own mana Barrier to buy some time, I am very thankful of having a mana reactor since if I was a normal mage I would probably already dead, well if I was a normal mage I won't even consider helping Sieg and the Homonculus at the first place

after a long time finally I heard a hippogriff cry and from the sky Jeanne jump down in front of me and then look at me and said. "Alex after this, we need to have a conversation." she showed me a smile, but I don't know why it remind me of when Isabella smile when she knows I was about to do something dangerous, it made me sweat a little bit on my back.

"hahaha, ok..." I can only let out an empty laugh.

hearing this she Immediately unfurled her banner and it started to shine then said. "Spartacus I can't let a hero like you to hurt the innocent people."

"Our Lord is with us!"

"Oh flag of mine, protect our comrades!"

"Luminosité Eternelle!"

seeing that I was out of danger I finally let out a sigh of relief, I use this chance to recall Gramps to my side. while other servants was also called back, at the same time Shirou use this time to order the Hanging Garden of Babylon to stop on top of the black faction castle and use a magic to pull the holy grail.

sensing this the Yggdmillennia master and servant reacted, the servant took this chance to enter the Hanging Garden of Babylon.

the attack from berserker finally stop and Jeanne look towards me who is sitting on the ground because of exhaustion, she then look towards my direction, she showed me a gentle smile, but the smile remind me of when Isabella was going to scold me when I'm doing something dangerous and idiotic.

after seeing my exhausted face she can only sigh and said. "Alex are you okay?"

"I am fine, just a little bit tired because of multi tasking and heavy mana expenditure."

"good now follow me." she then pulled my hand and took me behind a wall and then do a wall slam towards me.

"Jeanne, you're now so brave." I tried to tease her to but this time she show a angry expression. "Alex I am being serious, do you know normally a master wont have a duel with an servant, especially in their most advantageous subject, and you're being very reckless to tank a Noble Phantasm from a servant on your own...." she was scolding me very harshly, I know she is worried but my vision is starting to get blurry because of exhaustion.

feeling a little tired I just close my eyes and let myself fall into Jeanne Chest, it would be very comfortable crossed my mind, after letting my body fall, she noticed and caught me in her embrace, before I lose my consciousness I see her worried expression.

"Alex.. Alex.. what hap-." I heard her talk, well I leave it to you Jeanne was I thought.

***

"Alex are you all right?" Jeanne started to panic because Alex fainted suddenly, Hassan I Sabbah then appear beside her and talk.

"Saintess, my Contractor hath succumbed to unconsciousness. May I implore thee to assist in tending to his condition, for I must attend to a duty entrusted to me by the Contractor."

"ok then leave it to me, may I ask what are you doing?"

Hassan I Sabbah ignore her and leaving Immediately to deal with a certain woman.
