Hidden game route

The aftermath of battle between Red Knight and Berserker in ep 14, translated from the gamestory:


"And the battle between the two ended.
The battle of annhilation where they killed each other to the limit ended with the defeat of the Red Knight.
The once gorgeous hallway of the mansion has dramaticatlly changed.
The floor has been cracked into thousand pieces.
Countless holes were driven into the walls.
The staircase has fallen and the crushed marble stones became dusts in the wind.
This space has been destroyed throughoutly, and has no resemblance of what it was.
Then time must have been tilted as well.
The dreadful marks of destruction won't even give one a chance to recall how it was just 2 hours ago.

'-------------------'
In the center of the ruin, there was a figure well fit to this scene.
Over 2 meters tall, it looks as if it's a statue carved out of a stone.
There was no need to explain.
It was Illyasviel's Servant, Berserker.

The giant didn't move.
His body was all red, and there were holes all over the place.
There wasn't even a location on the body without a scar.

1. Both legs were almost melted.
2. There's a clear mark that the head has been previously sliced off.
3. The arm is barely attached to the elbow.
4. The shoulder has been penetrated all the way to the crotch.
5. A chunk of blood is dripping down from the chest.
6. The organs in the stomach can be seen.
Berserker was immobile.
It was no surprise.
No matter how you look at it, it was a dead body.

The battle itself was actually over in half an hour.
However, the uexpected result made Berserker's master forget what she was doing.
She needed to go after her prey right away, but she couldn't take her eye off this devastating scene.

Ilya: '------I can't believe it, who was he?"
She said that annoyingly.
The battle that took place here was nothing but a humilation for the girl.

Her Servant was the strongest.
Being one of the most famous heroic spirit, there could probably only be one or two heroes who could stand against Hercules.
But an unknown archer defeated him.
The red knight fought Berserker equally, and in reality, killed the undefeated Berseker.

----This was unallowable.
For the girl, it was like a bug on the road striking her heart.
The girl's pride couldn't allow that an opponent who she's suppose to crush and show pity has driven them to a corner.

'This makes me angry!
To be defeated 6 times by that guy. You weren't going easy on him, were you, Berserker!'
'-----------'
The stone statue would not answer.
Perhaps it doesn't have the luxury to do so or find no reason to.
Berserker just quietly concentrates on healing his body.

Even for him, this battle was unbelievable.
His "Noble Phantasm" nullifies any kind of attacks.
Only an exceptional first rate attack can touch his body.
Therefore it was rare for him to even get a scar.
In reality, there was noone in the age of mythology that hurted him.

Even then, 6 times.
Archer inflicted such fatal damage as much as 6 times.
It goes without saying that all 6 were different methods.
Because even the strongest attacks, can not be used twice against Berseker.

If you say it was not normal, that itself was not normal.
If he had so many different abilities, then it would have been easy to identify which hero he was.
However, they couldn't figure out who Archer was even after destroying his body.
That contradicting nature as a Servant must have been the most unbelievable thing about him.

'---------------------'
....A faint light glowed in Berserker's eye.
If he was summoned as a nomral Servant, he would have regret this fight.
No matter who he was, Archer was a formidable foe.
If he still had his senses, he would have spent time contesting their swords.

'...I won't forgive them for insulting me like this...!'
His master spoke out loud.
His light of reasoning disappeared.
Right now, he was only a Berserker.
His only job was to crush and destroy his enemies.

'I can't wait any longer! Are you healed yet, Berserker!'
'-----------------------'
There was no need to answer.
Fatal wounds will be healed in a few minutes.
But------ in order to return everything to normal, it would take 3 days.
'I can't wait that long! Its okay, we're going to go kill them right now!'
'--------------------'

The giant objected with silence.
That was his instinct.
Berserker had a similar battle instinct like Saber.

It was true their enemies' power could be easily taken care of.
But if Saber's power has healed enough to use her Noble Phantasm, it was a different issue.
A Holy Sword wouldn't scare Berserker, but he wouldn't take a chance.
If they were to fight that Servant, his instinct told him to be in his best condition.

'If you have 5, then its enough. We could defeat such guys without using God Hand. Or are you telling me to let those guys who made a fool out of us go?'
'.......'
'Right? I'll let no one escape this forest. I'll give you Rin and Saber. Do what you like with them."
The girl jumped down from the stairs.
In the rubbles, she walked towards the exit without paying attention to Berserker in sheds of blood'

And then she turned back as if she remembered something.
'Now, lets begin the hunt Berserker.
But don't kill Saber's Master so easily. I'll give him the worst death.'
The girl chuckled and left the castle."
--------------------------------------

The anime clearly go for slightly different story here....

I just had to laugh

berserker was defeated 5 times right? but I only counted 4..

1. the arrow attack
2. exploding sword
3. long sword
4. UBW..

where's the fifth?

oh yeah, there was one point that archer had flashbacks and remarked "I thought I'd thrown them away.."

another proof.

I said in teh game
And Shirou himself killed him 9 times in only 1 attack

i was referring to the anime, ep14, where berserker was said to have died 5 times but i noticed only 4. so i'm asking about it.

what random stuff did you just tell me?

arrow attack, 2 sword, 4 sword, long sword, ubw

Archer threw 4 Bankuya and Kansho for exploding attack which counts as 2 attacks.

In the gamestory he appeared when Caster trying to do something.

nice anime so far .. btw saber

Technically it is impossible. Tracing only works with mythological weapons, not imaginary weapons. Hence Yoda's light saber is no way can be done.
