In an instant, a surge of fighting spirit burst out from Lu Bu.

Tong Shen was slightly startled and looked in the direction where Lu Bu was looking.

In the morning mist, two figures, one large and one small, slowly emerged from the street ahead.

The tall figure on the left was over two meters and five centimeters tall, with wild black hair draped behind his head. He was only wearing a dark and heavy metal combat skirt, with his upper body and legs naked, revealing his muscles as hard and coiled as steel.

At the same time, the fighting spirit that erupted from Lu Bu also attracted the attention of the people behind him.

"Be careful, Shirou!"

Saber, wearing a hood, stood in front of Emiya Shirou with a serious expression.

Red A also stopped, protecting Toosaka Rin behind him, and looked ahead with a calm expression.

"...Berserker?"

Toosaka Rin looked at the tall figure in front of her with astonishment.

As a class that deprives one of rationality in exchange for going berserk, Berserker is one of the most easily recognizable classes among Heroic Spirits.

As long as you see the other person's eyes emitting red light, you can easily recognize the other person's identity.

Tong Shen came back to his senses and a smile appeared on his handsome face.

As expected, following Emiya Shirou is the fastest way to meet other Heroic Spirits...

"Good morning, Onii-chan."

A soft, pleasant voice with a hint of childishness came from the front.

Everyone turned their attention to the petite figure beside Berserker.

She was wearing an exquisite purple dress, had long silver hair and red eyes, and had an angelic smile on her pretty face.

"And Rin-sister and Shinji-niang..."

Illya's eyes swept over Toosaka Rin and Tong Shen in succession, and then she pinched the hem of her skirt and bowed slightly.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Illya, Illyasviel von Einzbern."

"When you mention this name, you must understand, right?"

Einzbern...

Toosaka Rin's pupils shrank, and then she frowned tightly.

Saber, who was standing in front of Emiya Shirou, was also startled. She couldn't help but frown and looked at the silver-haired and red-eyed girl in front of her. A very complicated emotion flashed in her eyes.

...Could this child be Irisviel's?

Just as everyone was thinking different things, Emiya Shirou couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"What does Einzbern mean?"

"Is now the time to explain this?"

Toosaka Rin glanced at him and said unhappily.

Instead, Tong Shen laughed and explained softly, "The original three great families of the Holy Grail War were Matou, Tousaka, and Einzbern."

Emiya Shirou suddenly realized, "I see. So, you and that girl are actually old friends?"

“……” Tong Shen’s expression became strange, and he couldn’t help but glance at Emiya Shirou.

Didn’t this guy realize that the Onii-chan that Illya was talking about was actually himself?

"Let's not talk about these trivial things for now. The other party is not friendly. Anyway, let's explore Berserker's ability value first!"

As she spoke, a blue light flashed in Toosaka Rin's eyes, and she checked Berserker's ability values ​​with the authority of a Master.

You don't know until you see it. When she saw it, Toosaka Rin immediately gasped.

“Hiss—Strength A+, Endurance A, Agility A, Magic A, Luck B, Noble Phantasm A… Judging from the ability values ​​alone, that monster is actually far superior to Saber and Rider!”

"……monster?"

The girl named Illya smiled slightly and cast her eyes on the tall figure holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji behind Tong Shen: "Don't you have a monster over there too?"

"But why can't I see your ability values?"

"Is it because there are related abilities that can be hidden? This is a bit too much of a cheat!"

Can't see ability values?

Hearing Illya's words, Toosaka Rin and Tong Shen were both stunned and couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Lu Bu.

[Strength? ? Durability? ? Agility? ? Magic? ? Luck? ? Noble Phantasm? ? ]

"Wait, how is this possible?!"

Toosaka Rin's face was filled with astonishment. When she first met Lu Bu, she had already checked Lu Bu's ability values. At that time, Lu Bu was still a reckless man with extremely serious academic imbalances. Only his strength, endurance and agility were A, and the rest were B or C.

But now, Lu Bu's six basic ability values ​​are all question marks in Toosaka Rin's eyes!

And not only her, even Lu Bu's nominal master Tong Shen, was unable to get a glimpse of the specific values ​​at this moment.

"Uncle Bu, what's going on?"

Tong Shen couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Lu Bu remained silent. He understood that this might be due to Lin Zhongtian's interference, so he did not dare to answer.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, until Lu Bu slowly took a step forward and asked irrelevantly: "Boy, you have already accepted two allies, you are not planning to accept a third one, are you?"

“…”

Seeing that Lu Bu avoided his question, Tong Shen sighed softly.

"Okay, Uncle Bu, I believe you have your own difficulties that you cannot tell. In that case, let's fight!"

"Are we going to start fighting now?" Red A frowned. "Just looking at the ability value, the monster over there can fight one against six!"

"One against six?"

Lu Bu sneered and said arrogantly: "Why do we need six people? You can retreat now. I am enough!"

As he spoke, Lu Bu swung the halberd in his hand, and black and red air surged all over his body, pointing at the Berserker in front of him.

"Who are you? Tell me your name!"

As Lu Bu's voice echoed in the early morning streets, an aura of arrogance emanated from him unscrupulously.

Illya stared at Lu Bu in a daze, and suddenly burst out laughing.

"...As expected of the unrivaled Lu Bu!"

"I don't mind telling you Berserker's real name, but it would be better to wait until you are completely desperate before revealing it, right?"

Lu Bu smiled and said, "Really? That's such a pity. Such a brave warrior has to die as an unknown person under someone's Fang Tian Hua Ji!"

"You are too arrogant!"

Illya put her hands behind her back, a hint of anger faintly revealed on her smiling face.

But even so, her tone was still gentle: "Although you are the pinnacle of human military commanders, if you were facing a hero from mythology, would you still be able to maintain such calm confidence?"

Hong A said thoughtfully: "So Berserker is a heroic spirit in mythology..."

Illya realized that she had said something wrong, and pursed her rosy lips, saying angrily: "I didn't expect that the famous Lu Bu would actually use ghost tricks. In this case, let's kill him~ Berserker!"

A soft voice spread, and Berserker's eyes glowed red.

He roared to the sky, waved his hand to condense an exaggeratedly huge weapon, and leaped forward.

"Bang——"

The hard road collapsed in an instant, and a tall figure over two and a half meters tall instantly crossed a distance of dozens of meters, came in front of everyone, roared and swung the axe and sword in his hands.

"boom!!"

A deafening roar echoed between the streets. Exaggerated weapons that looked more like giant iron plates than axes and swords smashed to the ground, instantly crushing the stone bricks that came into contact with into powder, leaving a giant circular pit with a diameter of about six or seven meters on the ground.

Lu Bu, who was originally standing here, had already grabbed Tong Shen by the collar and jumped back more than ten meters.

Looking at the axe and sword deeply embedded in the huge pit, Saber and Red A both had solemn expressions.

"It's indeed a monster's strength... Rider, are you sure you don't need our help?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Lu Bu threw Tong Shen to the side of the street. Black and red air currents surrounded his body. He looked at the tall figure in front of him with a cold and arrogant look.

"He is just a reckless man who only knows how to use brute force. One of my family is enough to deal with him!"

“Pfft—” Illya chuckled, put her hands behind her back, and said cutely, “You’ve already run away in fear, so why don’t you say such arrogant words?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu grinned, and an extremely arrogant aura emanated from him.

"What a joke... How could someone escape?!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Bu instantly cracked the ground with his feet, holding the Fang Tian Hua Ji in one hand, and turned into a beam of black light and rushed towards Berserker.

"roar--"

Berserker roared while holding the huge axe and sword. The sound waves turned into a fierce gale, which swept up the broken bricks on the ground and rushed towards Li Lu Bu.

“Knock knock knock—”

The flying debris all hit the black armor.

Lu Bu did not dodge or evade. He raised the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand high up in an extremely violent manner and chopped it down at the Berserker below.

Berserker roared, and scarlet light flowed wildly in the blood vessels under his skin. The huge and daunting red magic power suddenly erupted in the simplest and crudest way.

"boom!!"

There was a deafening explosion in the air as the axe sword and the Fang Tian Huaji collided violently.

A strong shock wave swept wildly in all directions in a circular shape with the collision point as the center.

Berserker raised his axe and sword to block Lu Bu's vertical blow. The ground beneath his feet was almost instantly shattered by the terrifying force. His feet, which were as big as an ordinary person's waist, sank deeply into the ground and continued to sink layer by layer due to the accumulation of power.

Lu Bu's eyes were wide open, his arms were wrapped with black and red air currents, and he held the Fang Tian Hua Ji tightly, intending to split the axe and sword in front of him, along with the black mountain of flesh below, in half.

"Come and die!"

Lu Bu roared, and his muscles swelled instantly. The hard and sharp halberd blade pressed down on the huge axe sword.

"roar!!"

Berserker roared wildly and exhaled two heavy breaths from his nose. His already exaggerated muscles suddenly swelled even more, and he actually lifted up the Fang Tian Hua Ji slowly and firmly.

Lu Bu frowned tightly, and all his strength had been almost squeezed to the limit.

But even so, the wild black figure straightened up slowly and firmly.

Realizing that the situation was hopeless, Lu Bu sighed inwardly, loosened the Fang Tian Hua Ji that was pressing on the axe and sword slightly, and then leaped backwards and landed on the flat ground seven or eight meters away from Berserker.

"I have to admit..."

Lu Bu waved his halberd, pointed it at Berserker, and said coldly: "In terms of strength, you are even better than that black guy named Zhang!"

"So, next, I'm going to use some tricks..."
