Clang!
Asmodeus was in a difficult position.
Even though all three Servants were only level 1 and could normally be easily overpowered by it, the problem was that the three of them were far too experienced, while Asmodeus had only just been born.
So no matter how strong it was, it couldn't withstand the relentless barrage of attacks from all three at once.
Clang!!
Its tentacles were either burned to a crisp or bitten off by Saber's dogs.
Other tentacles were constantly harassed by Rider's chains and knives, leaving it no chance to counterattack.
As for Lancer, that bastard was too good at exploiting openings. The moment it let its guard down even slightly, he would aim straight for its heart.
One versus three might be easy in a game, but in reality, fighting three opponents simultaneously was incredibly difficult.
The chains wrapped around Asmodeus's body, binding it tightly before dragging it toward Rider.
"YOSHAAA!!!"
Rider unleashed a flurry of punches. Each punch landed so hard it felt like torture, and the guy punched ridiculously fast.
Asmodeus transformed its legs into rabbit legs to leap high into the air, then turned itself into a small monkey to slip out of the chains.
A flash of light erupted as Durindana shot forward like a spear, piercing through both of its legs.
Two of Saber's dogs then charged in to tear it apart, only to be swatted away by a pair of peacock wings.
As a Beast representing Lust, even though it was born from humanity, animals also played a significant role.
After all, sex is essential to every species.
Humans simply have very strong imaginations, and that was what gave birth to it.
So it wasn't surprising that it could use the abilities of countless creatures.
'My ability no longer works on Saber. How is she resisting it?' it thought, glancing at Saber who was coldly observing it.
Asmodeus had repeatedly used "Illusion of the Lustful Mind" on all three of them, but every single one had resisted the temptation.
Even Saber — who had fallen after just two seconds the first time — was now completely immune!
'If this continues, it won't end well. I need to use a move that can take at least one of them down with me, even if I die…'
Suddenly, it remembered a creature with incredibly strong reproductive abilities despite its short lifespan.
Immediately, its navel expanded, and swarms of bizarre creatures began flying out.
"!" Lancer raised an eyebrow as he saw more and more of them appearing.
Mosquitoes!
"Out of ideas already?" Saber muttered. Her sword began glowing with intense heat.
Mosquitoes were easy to kill — especially when facing what was basically a miniature sun.
Well, unless Asmodeus had a plan.
"Damn it! Out of all things, mosquitoes are what I hate the most!" Rider grumbled, stepping back from the overwhelming number of mosquitoes.
Just as Saber prepared to unleash her flames, Lancer felt the mosquitoes trembling near him.
And then they exploded.
Their blood splattered straight into his eyes, forcing him to shut them.
Saber was about to attack when she suddenly sensed Asmodeus right behind her and quickly turned around.
However, what stood behind her was just a dog sticking its tongue out, looking incredibly innocent.
"…?"
Right after that, the swarm of mosquitoes that had been behind her gathered together and transformed back into Asmodeus.
Saber flinched and swung her sword backward.
But it was too late. Asmodeus's hand had transformed into a mantis blade, ready to slice off her head.
Suddenly, a chain shot forward, wrapping around Asmodeus's arm and yanking it away.
"Tch!" Asmodeus clicked its tongue and turned into an octopus to slip free.
"Don't even think about it!" Saber charged forward, swinging her sword at it.
Then Asmodeus's eyes glinted with cunning.
It instantly transformed into a fly, shot straight toward her, then reverted to human form.
And touched Saber.
'Success,' Asmodeus thought.
It had just triggered Saber's lust to an extreme degree. This should be especially effective against someone like her who constantly suppressed her desires.
'Now I just need to turn her into a slave of lust, and I'll be able to handle the other two.'
Thinking that, it removed its hand from Saber's armor.
Bam!
"?!"
Saber's large hand had grabbed Asmodeus's face, staring at it with eyes full of murderous intent.
"You seem to be underestimating me quite a bit, don't you?"
"H-How?!"
It didn't understand! It knew Saber's nature perfectly and how hard she suppressed her desires.
So why didn't it work?!
"Yes, it worked. It worked extremely well," Saber replied.
"Then why—"
"Simple. You thought I would be consumed by lust without realizing just how strong my endurance is."
"Besides… I'm hungry."
"!!" This time Asmodeus looked straight into Saber's eyes.
You call that good endurance?! You're so turned on you're about to devour me whole!!!
It backfired! It completely backfired!!
In the blink of an eye, both of Asmodeus's hands disappeared.
Saber's left eye turned red as she chewed vigorously, blood dripping from her mouth.
…Wow, so she doesn't just shoot beams — she's not picky about food either? She's easier to take care of than I thought.
After finishing her meal, Saber tossed the remains upward. Rider and Lancer watched to see what she was planning.
"Ah…"
Asmodeus looked down and saw Saber's sword burning hotter than ever.
This was probably the end, and flashier than it had expected…
Slash!
Her sword pierced upward from below, then erupted in flames.
Asmodeus burned just like the women of the Medieval Ages who were condemned in that era.
Even though it had caused quite a bit of trouble, it was simply too weak to stand against proper Servants.
"You humans are truly hard to understand…"
Its voice echoed even as its body was crumbling.
"I was born to fulfill your species' desire to reproduce."
"And yet when I decided to act according to your wishes, you rose up to oppose me…"
"I truly cannot understand… You humans live such contradictory lives…"
Its charred body scattered into the wind.
"Really… I just can't understand human at all…"
Asmodeus, an incomplete Beast Servant, had been slain.
