The battle raged on, as Saber and Rider clashed with each other, blow for blow, destroying parts of the cave in the process.
Beams of concentrated energy rained down as Saber spammed her longed ranged attacks, truly an enemy of all Lancer servants.
In a burst of speed, Kenji landed on the opposite side of the battle near Shirou as he carried the unconscious young man.
"Man, just how battered up is this guy." He examined Shirou as he saw the extent of damage Excalibur Morgan had done to him, burnt flesh covered Shirou's visage as he was knocked out cold, if it weren't for Avalon inside of him, he probably wouldn't be alive right now.
"Hey, I'll be joining the battle, take care of this deadweight for now."
His party members soon followed suit as they rushed to his side, with the battle still raging on, he entrusted Shirou's safety to his comrades.
"Ainz, Frieren, let's go." As soon as he received their nods, he once again disappeared in a burst of speed as in a near instant, Saber's instincts flared, immediately abandoning the thought of striking down Rider as she defended her body with her blade.
Kenji's fist, enveloped with his bright red cursed energy contacted the black blade as a shockwave strong enough to destroy parts of the resulted resulted in just one exchange.
Saber's feet caved into the ground from Kenji's attack as he clicked his tongue
'Not enough.. faster.. stronger..'
He continued attacking Saber with strong and swift attacks, delivering an onslaught of blows that gave Saber more trouble than she thought.
'I can barely defend against this man's attacks... Just where did he come from?' She calmly thought as the exchange from the two monsters continued.
Eventually she realized she would lose in a battle of attrition so her mana flared from her blade, as she lowered her blade and delivered an uppercut slash, a scorching hot energy flew from the blade as Kenji quickly dodged her attack, putting some distance from the two of them.
"Damn.. that was dangerous." A bead of sweat formed on Kenji's face as he knew that just one slash from Excalibur Morgan could might as well sever one of his limbs, or worse, cleave him in half.
Kenji formed a claw as he performed a wide horizontal swipe towards Saber, with Saber's monstrous ability of Instinct, she was able to feel the threat of the attack as she raised her blade to defend.
Sparks flew, as Saber felt an invisible pressure contact her blade, but she wasn't unharmed. Her armor cracked and broke apart as she felt the same invisible pressure cut her body apart, the area surrounding her exploded as a massive claw mark reaching the ceiling of the cave all the way to the the outside of the cave marked it's presence.
Right after receiving that devastating attack, countless magic circles she couldn't recognize surrounded her. All sorts of spells then proceeded to bombard her still regenerating, the cave continued to shave violently as pure destruction rained down on Saber Alter.
"Nice support you two!" He commended Ainz and Frieren as he put some distance between him and Salter, lest the destruction consume him as well.
The two mages were hyperfocused, ensuring that their spells would bring about the most destruction possible.
The broken armor-clad woman gritted her teeth and tightly gripped Excalibur Morgan, with a roar even more domineering than a Dragon's her mana bursted as she swung her blade in a wide arc, disrupting the rain of spells as she finally had a chance to breath.
"Holy shit... Just what am I seeing.." The slack jawed man, named Llyod Frontera muttered out. The show of pure power and destruction leaving him, and the rest of the members of the chat group to be utterly flabbergasted.
"The admin.. Kenji wasn't kidding, that saber alter girl is a monster, hell all of them are." Kim Gongja added, earning a nod from the unusually silent Sword Emperor.
"Woahh!~ They're all so strong and flashy!!" Cappie's eyes were replaced with stars, entirely excited from the show instead of being in fear at the extent of destruction the four combatants could muster up.
"Yeah, it's quite scary... Being in a group with monsters like the three of them." Rimuru added with a bounce of his jiggly form.
"But if what my player says is true, then this Dimensional Chat Group can give us power right? The power to be able to stand alongside all of them." Cappie held her pinkish magical wand, her expression was solemn, it was unlike the usual cheerful and outgoing personality of hers.
But her eyes held hope, as she stared at the gallant and strong figure of Kenji Joule.
"You all, are with the three of them..?" A feminine voice jolted them away from the battlefield, as a purple haired woman staggered her way towards them.
Seeing the battered state of the woman, the five of them recognized her to be the companion of the red-haired fellow Kenji entrusted them with, the woman who was the one initially battling Salter.
Rider
"Ah yes.. that's correct." Llyod took lead into the conversation as he nervously answered the woman, her eyes emitted a cold light, and an even icier atmosphere followed her. Llyod gulped at the sight of the woman, but trusted that she wouldn't hurt them.
"Shirou.. Where's Shirou..?" She said with bated breaths.
"Shirou? You mean him?" Llyod pointed at the still unconscious boy.
Rider rushed to his side as she started shaking him to wake him up, nearly all the injuries he had sustained prior to Kenji's rescue we're almost complete in healing so with a couple of forceful nudges from Rider he was jolted awake.
"Agh!" Shirou, fully awakened saw Rider's face and almost heaved a sigh of relief, but as he regained full consciousness his face turned serious.
"Rider, where's saber?" He asked and the woman pointed at the distance, the 3v1 was still ongoing as Salter started her counterattack, the cave trembled as shockwaves from Kenji's and Salter's blows shook the foundation of the cave.
He looked back to the four unusual looking people that were with them, he was curious, but curiosity could wait.
"I'll ask questions later, for now let's return to the battle." Shirou stood up and Archer's arm calmly flowed from his arm.
Kenji landed a strong strike, cleanly striking Salter's beautiful face as she was sent tumbling to the ground from the sheer force of the attack, but she recovered quickly as her blade flared, she swung numerous times each one carrying the power to disintegrate anything in it's path.
"Enough!" Her patience has thinned, as she infused more Mana into her blade and delivered an arc of destruction.
"Fuck-" Kenji didn't have any time to dodge this attack as his arm and almost his torso had disintegrated without a trace, not even a speck of dust was left in it's path.
Kenji crashed down on the ground, he swiftly deployed his Reverse Cursed Technique, quickly regenerating the lost parts of his body.
"That hurt.." He staggerly stood up, Ainz and Frieren landed behind him as they saw what had happened.
"Are you alright, Admin?!" Ainz worriedly said.
"I'm fine, Ainz, more importantly I think we're fucked." His words proved to be true as he felt a massive amount of energy course through the blade of Salter.
She stood menacingly tall as she gripped her blade, her flaring blade melted the area around her.
"[EX...!" Her voice echoed through the cave as Kenji calmly stared at the chaotic torrent of power flowing through the sword, that was once the Sword of Promised Victory.
Strangely enough, even if it has lost it's beautiful elegance, it's still plenty beautiful in Kenji's eyes. Such, is Excalibur.
"Hey Admin! What are we gonna do? That thing's gonna kill us!" Ainz broke through his passive ability of always maintaining a cool head as he started panicking.
Even Frieren wore an ashen expression as beads of sweat formed on her face.
"Don't worry, they're here."
Projection Start: I am the bone of my sword.
A flash of red reached their position as the young man held his arm out, the red cloth was hanging on his arm danced in the air.
"Calibaaaa!!!]"
"[Rho.. Aias!]" Pink petals formed as a barrier resembling a flower covered them, the chaotic and powerful ignition of Excalibur engulfed them, but the shield of the hero was there to protect them.
"Finally decided to join the fray ey? Mister Hero!"
