-807- Berserker

"Hum—!"

A chaotic surge of magic emanated from outside the forest, akin to boiling water, intensely vibrant.

Rozen and Mash simultaneously sensed this chaotic magic, causing a subtle change in their expressions.

Being no novices, they both knew the reason behind such a chaotic surge of magic.

"Is someone engaging in battle?" Mash quickly concluded.

As for Rozen, he added, "Many people are in battle, there's a significant number."

This statement was immediately confirmed by Chaldea.

"A few kilometers north of your location, there are numerous life reactions and magical responses," Roman's image appeared on Rozen's communicator, urgently informing them. "Many people are engaged in fierce combat, and some of the reactions are incredibly powerful. Though it's too far to confirm, it's highly likely they are Servants."

"Servants."

Upon hearing this term, both Rozen and Mash became alert.

"Senpai."

Mash looked at Rozen expectantly.

Rozen nodded immediately. "Let's go."

Saying this, Rozen didn't rush forward. Instead, he formed hand seals.

"————————."

Chanting the mantra of Mahakala, Rozen utilized the spell of Invisibility, enveloping himself and Mash in a subtle flux of magical energy, making their figures disappear from sight.

The forest regained its tranquility, and the stifling air continued to linger.

Meanwhile, at a considerable distance to the north of the forest, a fierce battle was underway.

It involved two legions engaged in mutual combat.

However, these two legions were far from ordinary.

"Ooooooooh!"

Amidst the deafening shouts, a group of soldiers wielding long spears charged forward.

They were soldiers dressed in ancient, almost archaic attire, resembling warriors from antiquity.

Each soldier was robust and vigorous, exuding extraordinary vigor. Their eyes and faces were filled with a dense combat spirit and killing intent. Unfazed by their opponents, they genuinely relished the battle, continuously shouting and wielding their long spears as they charged into the fray.

Facing this group of soldiers were magical creatures.

A group of skeletal beings, each with a different body size and appearance, yet all wielding weapons made of bones.

"Click clack click clack!"

The skeletal creatures produced a crisp, grating sound as their entire bodies moved violently, as if all their bones were grinding, colliding, and frictioning against each other. It was an exceptionally jarring noise.

However, this group of skeletal creatures was equally unyielding, rushing towards the battlefield like animated skeletons. Although lacking the grandeur of the ancient soldiers, they displayed no hesitation, charging directly into battle.

The two legions clashed on the battlefield, creating a cacophony of shouting, roaring, howling, clashing, and weapon impact noises that reverberated throughout the entire scene, evoking a tense atmosphere.

In terms of strength, the ancient warriors seemed to have the upper hand. Their powerful thrusts with long spears could smash the skeletons upon impact, a level of strength that modern soldiers would find hard to match.

Yet, in terms of numbers, the skeletal creatures held overwhelming superiority. Even if they didn't number in the tens of thousands, there were nearly a hundred thousand. Often, a large group would confront a single warrior, surrounding and killing them. Even if a comrade was slain on the spot, the skeletal creatures showed no hesitation. Seizing the opportunity, they would chop off the weapons of the fallen foe, causing blood to splatter on the battlefield.

For a moment, the two legions created a spectacle of flying dust and rocks, resonating with the thunderous sounds and whistling, generating an exceptionally grand scene.

Rozen and Mash arrived at the scene under the protection of Invisibility, witnessing the ongoing struggle.

"What is this?"

Upon seeing the battle, Rozen's eyes immediately narrowed.

Mash, too, wore a surprised expression, looking at the skeletal creatures battling the valiant warriors, voicing her astonishment.

"Dragon tooth warrior?"

—Dragon tooth warrior.

They were a type of very low-level magical beings, created by using dragon fang as a conduit.

Each individual among them was exceedingly weak, possibly even on par with an average human. They were undoubtedly inferior magical beings.

However, their advantage lay in being easy to produce. As long as there were dragon fangs and the necessary crafting techniques, hundreds or even thousands could be made in a single day. The most advanced magus could instantly scatter countless dragon fangs, transforming them into numerous Dragon tooth warriors. Hence, it was effortless to gain a numerical advantage, and amassing a certain quantity could even pose a headache for Servants.

Thus, the technique of creating Dragon tooth warrior could be traced back to ancient times, and in the modern era, it was almost a lost art.

Now, witnessing so many Dragon tooth warrior on this continent with relatively weak magical properties, even Mash couldn't help but be surprised.

However, compared to Mash, Rozen's attention was more captivated by the group of ancient warriors battling the Dragon tooth warrior.

With just one glance, Rozen could be certain.

"That's definitely not a soldier from this era."

Indeed.

In the year 1783, North America had already developed firearms, making warfare dominated by artillery.

The group of warriors possessed extraordinary strength and morale, far surpassing the soldiers of this era. However, they wielded spears, a melee weapon, and their attire did not match the customs of the Western Continent. They could not possibly be soldiers appearing in this era.

In other words,

"Whether those soldiers or Dragon tooth warrior, their existence in this era and this place is not appropriate."

In this era, twisted into a singularity, these two legions were responsible for the distortion.

"Both groups are anomalies?"

Rozen furrowed his brow.

"Then where are the humans of this era?"

As Rozen just had this thought, the following scene left him in awe.

"Roar————!"

A ferocious, frenzied, and powerful roar echoed.

"Boom!"

Amidst the heavy landing sound, a massive shadow descended from the sky, leaping from the side of the Dragon tooth warrior and instantly appearing at the forefront of the battlefield. It stirred up a burst of explosive dust, blowing away many of the ancient warriors.

"Roar————!"

The massive figure roared, tilting its head back and creating a shockwave that reverberated through the earth.

Upon closer inspection, it was a giant, over two meters tall, with wild black hair, bulging and muscular, clad in a battle skirt, wielding a stone axe. The upper body and feet were bare.

Seeing this giant, both Rozen and Mash were shocked.

"It's him!?"

Rozen's breath caught.

"Berserker!?"

Mash exclaimed.

It was the berserker who had appeared in Fuyuki City.
