My Upgrades Are Invincible

With only a few more shenanigans happening like Olga tripping over the debris surrounding the path to the massive cave under the mountain housing the grail or Tamamo showing more of her Berserker tendencies as she began to 'suppress' Mash in the name of making sure she knew her place or whatever.

Honestly Berserkers are impossible to understand especially when you don't know the particular neurosis that drives their personal form of insanity. Like Raikou was pretty easy as she would easily latch onto her master as a sort of mother figure and treat them like her own son, and likewise Kiyohime would latch onto her master under the impression that they are the reincarnation of the man she once loved... Less said about what she did to that man, the better.

Finally, we entered the large ominous cave that housed the grail after dealing with waves upon waves of skeletons and weird shadow monsters, but they were easily dispatched by me simply forming a wall of flames and my magical flames eradicated the magic animating the skeletons instantly and the shadowy monsters reminiscent of the war shadows from Danmachi likewise became ashes without difficulty.

"You have finally made your way here!" A proud voice spoke across the large cavern, and we looked up seeing the ominously glowing massive purple pool a figure came past the lip of the structure showing her figure.

Saber class Servant Artoria Pendragon was frankly a petit beauty even wearing her black spiked armor that covered the vast majority of her body. Her normally sun kissed blond hair was now closer to a moon touched silver while still desperately holding onto a hint of golden tinge to it. But her most striking feature where her haunting golden eyes that glowed on her pale face especially with the purple light coming off the corrupted grail from behind her.

I considered saying something among the lines of Merlin sending their regards... But that would just set off alarm bells for her and frankly even if me surprise kissing her was a bit scummy, I wanted Artoria frankly enough not to care and I would make it to her... Plus it wouldn't be the first time Merlin screwed Artoria over. People called Merlin the 'dick wizard' for a reason, and it wasn't for his personality.

My face twitched as I remembered the rumors that when Morgan came to steal some of Artorias' blood in the guise of Guinevere to make Mordred, Merlin instead gave Artoria a dick and enchanted them both to do the deed...

"We have come for the grail and to destroy this Singularity!" I yelled righteously making Artoria nod lightly at my heroic ambition, but she then smiled lightly as the blackened form of Excalibur Morgan appeared within her hands.

"Hmm..." Artoria paused suddenly, and her confident smile paused as she looked at Mash. "Thats an interesting Servant there..." She said and I knew her unspoken words about how Mash was a demi servant using the abilities of her knight Galahad.

"No matter... Girl ready your shield... I shall see if it holds true to its ideals." Artoria said and then with a leap, she jumped off the edge of the grail and landed a few meters in front of us all.

"Hoho. You look down upon this emperor in ignoring her!" Nero said striding past us and standing in front of Artoria and the matching saber faces had a fierce stare off as their magical energy crackled and shattered the stone floor beneath them.

Nero was in her full Caster regalia, which included the set of large cannons on her sides and a half dozen smaller flying laser shooting machines, and most importantly she was wielding her sword in her hand obviously planning to meet Artoria head on.

"Out of my way slattern!" Artoria grimaced seeing someone with a similar face to herself but was obviously more... developed and literally running around in a bikini and a loose see-through robe.

"Pah... If anything, you are just a stuffy prude and that's why Guinevere left you." The room went silent as everyone paused hearing Nero's sharp bard as that typically wasn't something the jovial emperor would say at all.

Even Cu who was carving runes in the ground with how Nero was keeping Artoria busy fucked up the rune he was working on making him curse quietly.

Artoria's face twitched and even with how her Alter from gave her pale face a more deadpan resting face... She looked murderous putting it lightly.

Artoria raised her sword at Nero and at an unspoken signal the two dashed at one another and met each other with a mighty crash.

Mash was being smart and wasn't running over to bash Artoria with her oversized shield. No, she was being smart and was keeping Olga and Fujimaru behind her shield, lest they be brained by one the rocks getting sent out like shrapnel grenades as was apparent from the random dinging noises as fist sized rocks were shot everywhere from the battle between Me, Nero, Tamamo, versus Artoria.

Despite my interest in seeing the cat fight between Nero and Artoria, I didnt like Nero's odds against Artoria alter as I had to overextend making my magical flames to match the output of Excalibur Morgans cursed energy beams. Frankly my flames were not at all suited for pushing back the condensed energy from Saber's sword beams.

Less said about Tamamo being thrashed by Artoria making gratuitous use of her Mana Burst ability the better as her ability to temporarily exceed her strength massively made Berserker Tamamo's stronger natural strength worthless and if anything, a hindrance as she had much shorter reach than Artoria as her attacks relied on her claws.

Artoria was also sending large sword beams to destroy the constant laser's being shot at her by Nero's cannons.

"I will deal with your master then, if you all want fight me at the same time." She said obviously irritated how we were covering up for each other as Tamamo would attack her at close range at her weak points like her face and neck with her claws, while me and Nero were going for more of a medium distance attacking method with me making the odd space skip to attempt to land a crippling blow like on her heel or her shoulders.

Artoria used a mana burst and blasted Tamamo and Nero away with the mana shockwave, as they dashed at her hearing her plans to attack their master's.

"No!" Tamamo yelled and her eyes glowed ominously as she emitted bloody red aura. "You may not hurt my master!" Tamamo screamed hysterically and dashed forward more than five times faster than she was before and not only that her claws where wreathed in a powerful energy that greatly enlarged their size and tingled my danger senses.

A large explosion rang out as Tamamo's Noble Phantasm enhanced claws met Artoria's Excalibur Morgan. Artoria was forced back easily by the barrage of blows, and she made a visible line in the ground as her armored boots carved dual gouges in the ground with how Tamamo sent a hurricane of blows at Artoria and even when she used a powerful Mana Burst, it only made them temporarily equal in strength.

But Tamamo's state was only temporary, and it was plainly visible that she was beginning to flag as each blow was sent onto Artoria and she finally managed to break through Artoria's guard and had removed Artoria's front chest plate as her claws got caught on it and then literally ripped the plate mail off of Artoria with a roar sending the woman skidding across the ground as Tamamo slumped to the ground.

"By order of my command seal, teleport to me Tamamo!" Fujimaru cried as a beam of Excalibur Morgan was launched at the collapsed form of Tamamo. Thankfully her frantic command seal worked and a Tamamo flickered out of existence from where she laid only to reappear within Fujimaru's grasp.
