' If I don't have any more techniques then I will beat him using my fists ', I thought as I gave resurrected Hercules a bloodthirsty smile," Come here you King of cockroaches have a taste of my fists", he roared as he leaped towards me while swinging his sword axe at me.
*Boom*
I grabbed his sword axe- to his surprise, after coating my whole body in Touki our strengths were pretty similar but it didn't change the fact that his base parameters are stronger than my base, and well I could feel my hand burning in pain as it bled, with my other hand I have his free hand grabbed and right now we both are facing each other with menacing smiles.
*Boom*
Using my superior agility I left the hold of his free hand and punched him in his jaw using all the strength I could muster up, a sonic boom sounded as my punch sent him flying away meters away as he crashed against tens of trees though he managed to stop and leaped at me again, in the meantime I decided to go all out and chanted quickly," Maximize Lesser Dexterity, Maximize lesser strength, Maximize Haste, Maximize penetrate Magic".
(Author's Note: Bruh I had to read about how overlord magic works and it's f*cking complex thankfully while I missed some knowledge previously it didn't leave any plotholes and yah this Maximize magic can also be used for all the tier spells so no plotholes here, I have decided to write a small note on Overlord Tier Magic and how it works later on, so make sure to check it in case you don't understand how he uses spells that sometimes don't make any sense)
I again grabbed his incoming axe attack but this time was different, my strength has become way superior for a short period, I gave kick on his knee making him fall on the ground and quickly punching on his face making him lose his balance, he tried to punch me but I simply took it as it didn't affect me even a bit, I grabbed his leg and started swinging him round and round at an extreme speed and threw him away.
"*ROaaarrrrr*", he roared as he flew away hundreds of meters in a second, I grinned maniacally as I could feel my strength become four times my base along with my other parameters as for my agility it was whooping eight times, but it wasn't without any cost I could feel my remaining mana draining like crazy and just three minutes were left before I will be out of mana.
(Author's Note: Please note that he still has nearly half of his mana at this point)
I ran towards Hercules thrown away half a kilometer, I reached there in half a second, and using my legs I kicked at his head with my full strength on top of that the immense force of my speed stacked on it as his skull cracked due to immense speed, he again was thrown away but with my speed, I quickly moved.
Everything seemed in slow-motion to me, Hercules's body was flying away tens of meters before my eyes which saw everything in slow motion, he couldn't even understand what was happening my attacks were just too fast, I moved at supersonic speed along as his body and using my hand I gave a powerful chop on his neck from down to upwards.
*Crack*
His neck cracked as the force of my attack changed his direction, and he flew straight up hundreds of meters, I jumped following after his dead body which shone in mid-air, just as he was resurrecting I got above him and I chanted," Maximized Burn Lance!", a lance made of pure fire appeared on my hand.
"*ROarrrrrrrrrhhhhh*", resurrected Hercules roared in fear apparent in his eyes, as I grinned while we fell both down with my body above him, he tried to change his direction but not letting him do it I stabbed the lance at his heart, the fire lance penetrated his chest, burning his heart into crisp.
*Boom*
We both fell to the ground, and his sturdy body below me took all the damage even if it was not needed, I grabbed the jaw of his dead body, thankfully there was a short period of delay in his resurrection and I took full advantage of it and threw him in the air like a ball as his body broke this sound barrier.
*Boom* *Boom*
I followed after his flying body and decided to repeat the same thing I did previously, getting above his flying body quickly, I quickly chanted," Maximized Crytal Lance!", as I finished chanting Hercules has already resurrected he quickly attacked me with his both hands, I grabbed both of his hands with all my strength as we fell.
*Crack*
Both of his wrists cracked causing him to roar in pain, I left the grab of his hand and pointed my hand toward his chest a cold lance manifested after my hand launching at his chest and barely penetrating it.
*Boom*
After we fell with my body above him, the force of inertia made a spear-like ice object come out of his chest going upward, I grabbed it, and using both of my hands roaring I quickly stabbed his chest," Take this!!!".
*Splurrrt*
A small fountain of blood gushed out from his chest as the ice lance pierced deep in his heart, he roared in pain loudly,"*Roarrrr!!*", mercilessly I took out the lance from his chest and stabbed his neck finishing off again. This time I decided to not throw him away air again.
His body shined brightly as a huge amount of fog came out of his body as he titan resurrected, meanwhile I quickly chanted, "Penetrate Shock Lance!!", a spear of pure thunder manifested in my hand, and just the moment Hercules resurrected trying to get up, I stabbed the lance directly in his heart, it penetrated through his heart, he roared in pain again as he died.
Without waiting any longer I again chanted another spell," Penetrate Holy Aura!", and the moment he got resurrected again I pierced his heart with a super hot ray of light but this time somehow it didn't kill him, seeing this I stabbed his chest which had a deep wound due to my spell and with my bare hand I pierced through his flesh and grabbing his beating heart I crushed it.
I quickly used another spell," Maximized Silver Lance!", I tried to attack his chest again but this time Hercules resurrected faster and quickly punched me away, without having any guard I was thrown away like a ragdoll before I was able to balance myself again, in the meantime Hercules had quickly approached me and swung his Axe aiming my head, unable to dodge it he successfully hit the area around my jaw.
*Crack*
Some of my teeth broke as my jaw bent slightly in an unnatural direction, I quickly dodged another of his attack, grabbing the Lance of Silver Elemnt in my hand with a strong grip using my superior agility I quickly got behind him leaving after mirages in front of him which he didn't attack due to his budget spider sense and tried moving backward.
But he was way slower and I successfully managed to stab his neck, his body stopped as his mouth opened wide roaring in pain, to my shock he turned backward still alive, and attacked me with intense anger visible in his eyes, I smiled bloodthirsty seeing this and chanted while meeting his attack head on," Penetrate Silver Lance!", another silvery lance manifested on my hand.
I stabbed him in his heart with my full strength before he could do anything, unfortunately for me the lance broke in the middle leaving a deep wound in his chest, seeing this I quickly performed a kick bending my body and kicking his elbow sideward, he lost his balance as I chanted again," Penetrate Silver lance!".
A Silver Lance manifested again but taking the opportunity of the short period where I chanted he successfully hit me with his sword-axe on my chest with his full strength, a shockwave ran throughout my body as I felt the side of my chest rib cracking, ignoring the pain I stabbed the silver lance through his eyes deep inside to his brain killing him brutally.
I made some distance between us breathing heavily tired from the ordeal and groaning in pain,' How many lives he has left?! ', I asked System.
[Master! He has only 1 life remaining!], the system replied to me quickly.
I grinned upon hearing that, I could feel less than 10% of my mana remaining and Hercules resurrected one last time ready to face, now it was a battle of attrition if he can survive till my mana finishes then I am done for, but if I manage to kill him then I win, he approached me roaring swinging his sword-axe, I managed to dodge it but my speed had decreased and just ten more seconds remained before all of my enchantments wear off.
I continued dodging his attacks thinking about how to kill him, I had no more attacks that could deal damage to him, even if I had several other spells in my arsenal I already had used the strongest spells of every element and by now attacking him even with a different spell wouldn't affect him as it was of the same element I used earlier.
I was nearly out of options, thankfully I had a plan for this before just in case something similar happens and I chanted the last spell which emptied almost my whole remaining mana, "Summon 4th Tier Angel!", a Principality Observation appeared behind me and I shouted," Give me your mace!", suddenly my all enchantments wore off making me return to my base parameters.
*Crack*
Due to that Hercules managed to land another hand on me but somehow I managed to take the hit on my hand which broke my entire right hand, I roared in pain as I fell on the ground, Hercules seeing this opportunity again swung his sword-axe, I looked at the approaching attack completely tired unable to dodge it.
*Boom*
Fortunately, the angel that I had summoned blocked the coming attack with his small shield, and threw over his lance towards me Hercules seeing this angrily threw him away like a ragdoll, I grabbed the mace with my left hand and ignoring all the pain I went at my full base speed, and managed to hit his neck twisting his head 180 degrees.
His body stopped as he fell dying the final time, I balanced myself holding the lance and watched the body of Hercules disappearing into small particles," I hate cockroaches", I said groaning, I used my left hand to fix my slightly bent jaw, finally when he disappeared I fell on the ground unable to move even a bit.
"I guess, it was not bad for the first time", I muttered in a slow voice closing my eyes knowing that I will die probably, despite not winning the Holy Grail I was content with the fact that I managed to defeat one of the strongest Servant while having a no superior advantage against him like what Artoria alter and Gilgamesh had and thus I let my consciousness go away as I left my survival to fate.
...
"Is he alright?", asked Morded as Kairi Sisigou checked on him, he sighed and said," He is still alive and thankfully due to being a servant if he is treated quickly then he won't die", a smile came on Morded's face as she heard him," Nice Master! Let's go and get some medical supplies from the Yggdmillennia fortress".
Hearing that Kairi hesitated and asked her," Are you sure Saber? You have seen his fight with Hercules, if we were to heal him then your chances of getting the Holy Grail will be almost none", Morded snorted and said," What are you talking Master? Even if that's the case, as King Arthur's son and a Knight I can't kill an opponent who is at his weakest! If I were to win the Holy Grail this way then it will be a stain to the name of the Pendragon which I can't allow it!!".
Hearing his servant he sighed and said," Then let's go, from what we saw earlier most of the servants should be in that flying fortress so their fortress should be empty of any servants so we should get the medical supplies quickly", Morded smirked and said," Now let's save a God!".
To be continued...
