The sound of iron hitting iron came as both Berserker and Orion clashed their swords. Saber, Iris, Velvet and lastly Rider were looking at this fight with amazement in their eyes as a Mage, a human nonetheless, was keeping up with a servant who was deemed as the strongest that ever existed and given the title of hero by the grail and had the powers of noble phantasm.
It was honestly humbling to see a boy not much younger than young Velvet was holding his own against someone like Berserker.
But to those who has a good understanding of swordsmanship like Saber or Rider, they could easily see that although Orion was surprisingly both strong and adaptable at the sword even after being a mage, he wasn't a match with Berserker when to came to close combat fighting. Making many mistakes which an experienced swordsman would never make.
But while he was making mistakes, he was also covering them with his magic. while swinging the sword of Gryffindor with his left hand, he was also using force silently with his right hand to put Berserker into a compromising position many times.
"It's surprising that such a young man can have this level of strength in his age and he is also very adept at swordsmanship too, though a bit lacking in experience." Rider mutters as he appreciates Orion's fighting power.
"Who cares about that, he is a mage, who is he, he even able to do this, it's highly illogical," Velvet shouted as he was secretly comparing Orion with himself, the boy was surely younger than him but he was able to do things which he himself never think he will be able to do, ever.
This sure was humbling.
"Iris, do you know who this boy is ?" Asked Artoria as her eyes narrowed on the kind of swordsmanship Orion was using. it was very similar to what she herself had learned in Britannia.
"No, " Iris replied with a shake of her head, she herself was surprised at what Orion was able to do.

"You're good, in fact, if I didn't have magic then I mostly would have been already dead. But unfortunately for you ugly friend, I am not a swordsman at the core, I am a wizard." Orion after having his fill of fun finally got a little serious.
Not like he wasn't all this time but he was holding back, all this time he didn't infuse his own magic into the sword of Gryffindor.
Well, technically he can't as his left hand is incapable of using magic as of now but that is only when he is wielding the blade with only his left hand. All this time he was only wielding the blade with just one hand. Now he finally put to hands on his sword handle.
Remembering that one Wolverine movie he smirked as the blade of Griffindor shone up in blue light as he wrapped Blue around the sword, making it more sharper and more deadlier.
That wasn't the only thing he could do now with blue and red, there were many techniques he created to use them but for now, this will suffice.
With a powerful swinging of his sword, Orion charged up at Berserker, though the fallen knight was able to block the attack with his makeshift weapons but that wasn't enough as the Blue coated blade tore through his weapons with ease, making him tumble back in disbalance.
"Now try this," Orion said as he formed a Red ball in his fingertip, now he can do it effortlessly within seconds.
"RED," Orion said as he pointed that red ball of light at his fingertip which gave shivers to both Iris and Velvet as both mages could actually feel the Terrible amount of magic gather in that small red orb.
"B…..ooommmmm".
From that point things went pretty much like he thought it would go, making an entire ditch as his red devastated the area in front of him, completely obliterating Berserker. That one attack was more than enough to completely kill him.
'Or Not.' Orion mutters as he senses a magical power still lingering at the end of the attack trail and it is disappearing soon.
But Orion didn't plan to let that happen. He is getting rid of that dark knight here and now.
He immediately vanish from his place surprising others even more. Appearing just in front of the Berserker and with his sword wrapped in magic, he stabbed it right through the Berserker's heart. Even pierce the armour without a problem.
"KUff." Berserker choked as blood spurr out of his mouth.
"Aaarrrtoooori....." that was the last ditch effort of him trying to say something finally meaningful before the dark knight was no more.
When the things died down, others saw Orion slowly blowing his finger like he it a Gun. Putting his sword back, more like it just outright vanished from thin air.
Everyone was looking at this with wide eyes. Things went from 'Oh,' to 'Oh My God' pretty quickly there.
Orion looked at his handly work with a smile. Not even a little bit down that he just killed Berserker.
"Cool guys, fun it may be but I now no longer desire to include myself more in this madness. Have fun killing." Orion smiled as he used his teleportation to get out of there.
He was really hungry.
Leaving others dumbfounded as they look in a daze where Orion was standing a second ago, then where Berserker died and finally at each other.
Not sure what to say Rider just laughed and Saber also just decided to leave with both Iris and Kiritsugu.

While this was happening, a certain someone was in bad condition right now. This was none other than the master of Berserker, Kariya Matou.
Now a Master shouldn't be harmed when a servant is dead. But Kariya's condition was different. His current lifespan was connected with Berserker. So when Berserker himself died, he also felt the backslash.
That when included with how much weaken he already has been by the use of those parasitic worms being inside him and sucking his life. He his just couldn't take the backlash and fell.
Unknown to others, one of the masters and competitors of the Grail War had already fallen.
