A Core Ship From The Start
Chapter 1082 - Chapter 1082 Chapter 745 Another Battlefield

Chapter 1082: Chapter 745 Another Battlefield Chapter 1082: Chapter 745 Another Battlefield Though he had anticipated the scene, when Duanmu Huai returned to the inn and saw the dilapidated building and the two people standing there, he was utterly speechless.

What in the world was going on?

Now, let’s rewind the clock back two hours, just after Duanmu Huai and his party had departed for the harbor. A staggering figure appeared on the dim street.

“Sakura… is she there?”

A haggard, gaunt man glared fiercely at the inn before him. He was none other than the Magician of the Matou family, who had been ruined earlier, also the Master of BERSERKER. Originally hiding in the Spirit Vein for rest, he had unexpectedly learned of the destruction of the Matou family, even the whereabouts of Matou Zouken, the Family Head, were unknown.

Matou Ganyu didn’t care about the old man’s fate but was deeply concerned about Sakura. Thus, Matou Ganyu, along with his Servants, scoured everywhere and, perhaps due to good fortune, finally found the girl in this inn.

“Sakura, I will definitely rescue you!”

Although he didn’t know who had taken Sakura or why, Matou Ganyu was resolved to take Sakura back at any cost!

According to his Servant’s scouting, there were only a young girl and a squirrel in the inn besides Sakura. Of course, Matou Ganyu wouldn’t foolishly present himself. Not knowing the true identity of those people but seeing that they had defeated the Matou family, it was likely they were participants in the Holy Grail War. Matou Ganyu wouldn’t risk negotiating and decided simply to have his Servant storm in and rescue Sakura.

With that thought, Matou Ganyu gritted his teeth and issued the command.

“Go, BERSERKER!”

Meanwhile, inside the inn, under Lorena’s care, Sakura was playing with Foo Foo–the white squirrel that had always followed Mash. Considering the upcoming battle at the harbor, Duanmu Huai had left it behind. Sakura, having regained consciousness, had learned about the situation from Lorena, who, being a Priest, was persuasive, and the presence of the adorable squirrel Foo Foo had relaxed her somewhat as she began frolicking with it.

As for Lorena, she naturally sat beside them, keeping an eye on Sakura while reading the Holy Canon in her hand.

However, at the next moment, Lorena seemed to sense something and hastily stood up to shield Sakura.

“Sakura, be careful! We have enemies!”

“Ah? Could it be Grandfather is taking me back?”

Hearing Lorena’s words, Sakura immediately tensed up, anxiously hugging Foo Foo, while Lorena shook her head.

“Don’t worry, Sakura, no matter who comes, I won’t let them take you away… over there!”

As her words fell, the next moment, Lorena suddenly raised the Holy Canon in her hand.

“Vile Evil Spirit, tremble before the Holy Light!”

Shouting loudly, Lorena forcefully swung the Holy Canon down through the air, and then, with a loud “bang,” a figure clad entirely in black materialized and was knocked back by Lorena. It then raised its head and let out an angry roar at Lorena.

“What, what is that?”

Seeing the horrifying black shadow, Sakura grew even tenser, while Lorena gripped the Holy Canon, staring down the foe.

“I can feel an evil, frantic aura emanating from it; this must be a Devil attacking humans! Sakura, step back, leave this to me!”

“Ah, okay…”

Hearing Lorena’s words, Sakura obediently nodded and stepped back, though she still looked at Lorena worriedly, considering Lorena seemed just an ordinary unarmed girl (though she was holding a book), while the dark Monster before them was clad in Armor and did not look like someone she could beat…

“————–!!!!”

BERSERKER apparently couldn’t understand why this girl was blocking him, but the orders it had received were clear. It roared furiously and lunged at Lorena.

“Haah——!”

Facing the Iron Cavalry charging at her, Lorena didn’t waver in the slightest. She chided sharply, gripping the Holy Canon and striking out at the Knight again. Their fists collided, prompting a scream from Sakura, who naturally thought Lorena, being just a girl, couldn’t possibly be a match for the strange Black Knight.

But the reality completely defied Sakura’s expectations–in the instant of the altercation, the Black Knight’s form staggered, losing balance and flying backwards, while Lorena didn’t even sway but stepped forward instead, slamming the Holy Canon down towards the Black Knight once again!

“Bang!!!”

The thick, dictionary-like Holy Canon smashed onto the floor, causing the tatami mats and the floorboards beneath to collapse–BERSERKER had managed to dodge Lorena’s attack at the very last moment; otherwise, he would have been smeared on the ground by now.

“———-!!——!!”

Whether it was sensing the threat Lorena posed or being provoked by her attacks, at that moment, BERSERKER let out a wild roar and raised its hand, which emitted a mist, forming a Longsword in BERSERKER’s hand.

He then roared and charged forward, his Longsword aiming directly at the young girl!

“Wait, BERSERKER, what the hell is happening?”

At that moment, hidden not far in the sewer next to the inn, Matou Ganyu was also shocked. He obviously didn’t know what BERSERKER was facing, but considering that BERSERKER was frantically drawing his Magic Power, it must have encountered a formidable opponent!

How could that be? There were clearly no responses from Servants there; could it be an ASSASSIN?

For a moment, Matou Ganyu even thought about letting BERSERKER leave, but considering Sakura was there, if he couldn’t bring Sakura back…

Unfortunately, Matou Ganyu didn’t know that this was his last chance.

“Hey—-Ah!!”

The Black Sword swung past, its splendid blade light stabbing towards Lorena, who, in one hand, held the Holy Canon and charged forward while shouting. Then, Lorena swung the Holy Canon down, smashing it onto the Black Sword, directly knocking it to the ground. At the same time, the girl moved forward a step, clenched her right fist, and punched straight into BERSERKER’s chest!

“In the name of God, purify the evil, vanish, evil soul!”

“Bang——!!”

The moment Lorena’s delicate little fist hit BERSERKER’s chest armor, the pitch-black armor shattered and exploded like chips, and he let out a pained howl, crashing through several walls before dissipating into light particles in the night sky, completely vanishing.

“…Amazing!!”

Sakura’s eyes went wide as she stared dumbfounded at what had just happened, hardly believing her own eyes.

“What an amazing performance! Sister Lorena, how did you do that?”

“Hmm, it’s quite simple.”

Facing Sakura’s excited question, Lorena spoke again.

“It’s all about persistent training!”

“Training?”

“That’s right, pray a hundred times every morning, throw a hundred punches! As long as you’re persistent, you will gain both a healthy body and the strength to fight!”

“Is that so…”

Hearing Lorena’s answer, Sakura pondered for a moment before nodding vigorously.

“I understand; I want to train too!”

“Good, I will do my best to guide you… However…”

At this point, Lorena turned her head and looked at the inn around them which was now drafty, full of holes, and on the verge of collapse.

“We should leave this place first…”

While saying this, Lorena quickly took Sakura’s hand and left the inn that looked as though it could collapse at any moment.

“How could this be!”

Matou Ganyu suddenly spat out blood, his eyes wide with terror as he looked at the back of his hand where the three Command Spells had completely disappeared, and at the same time, he felt the connection with BERSERKER sever completely.

Does that mean… BERSERKER was annihilated?

How… How could this be?

Before Matou Ganyu could recover, a sudden, intense pain surged through his heart, and soon after, the unfortunate man’s mouth burst open, spewing fresh blood, before he collapsed to the ground, never to make a sound again.

Duanmu Huai didn’t know that such an unlucky soul had just silently died nearby, but he didn’t care either. After hearing the story from Lorena, he sighed helplessly.

“So someone attacked you, and that’s why it turned out like this?”

“Uh… From Miss Lorena’s description, I think the attacker might have been BERSERKER…”

As Mash spoke, his expression complex as he looked towards Lorena. Knowing that even being a pseudo-Servant himself, he might not necessarily be able to defeat BERSERKER, yet this girl, who seemed just a regular human, had managed to kill BERSERKER with her bare hands?

That’s possible?

“Anyway, this place is unlivable now.”

Duanmu Huai looked at the rundown inn and sighed quietly. Thank goodness Medea had put a Barrier around this place before we left, otherwise onlookers would have crowded it inside out by now.

But now…

Duanmu Huai looked at Sakura, who was currently hiding behind Lorena, stealthily watching him. When she saw Duanmu Huai looking at her, she quickly retracted her little head, looking terrified and uneasy.

No matter what, this broken house is uninhabitable; it seems we can only find another place. Fortunately, for this situation Duanmu Huai had also prepared in advance.

“In any case, let’s find a place with no people first.”
