[Hereafter] Chapter XXV: Felling the Sky Demon
🕑 Added 2021-09-25 09:05:32 +0000 UTCI struggled a little with how to handle Fafnir, which delayed this chapter a day or two, and in the end, I'm not totally satisfied, but the perfect is the enemy of the good, and I liked Siegfried's little character moment near the end of the chapter.
Incidentally, "Berserk Saber" sounds just weird, but it's canon, so what can you do? Jalter gets kinda chuuni outside of the main Singularity, so I guess that's just her personal taste.
No, I didn't just forget about a couple of Servants at the end, but there are reasons why they aren't taking part in the fight. It'll get covered next chapter.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a sudden urge to go play Dragon's Dogma and kill the Ur Dragon again.
EDIT: Fixed the Lord Camelot typo.
EDIT-2: Down all the way.

A little of both. He's under Jalter's yoke, so her keeping him on a tight leash has made him slower and less able, although that doesn't really mean that much against a dragon that can literally breathe a country to death. At the same time, Siegfried is stronger and just better than he was when he first slew Fafnir, so he's performing better as a result.

Oh. Yes, it is, thanks for catching that.

’ When I could see again, both still stood, and Lord Camelot faded into nothingness as Mash gasped from the effort of protecting us. Siegfried’s bodysuit had been ripped and torn at the sleeves, disintegrated all the way up to his elbows, but he was otherwise unharmed, and Fafnir was equally unscathed, glaring down at his nemesis. Jeanne Alter remained standing atop his enormous head, utterly livid.’ Lord Camelot is a mistake I assume.

I was half-expecting Georgios to be utilized as the vanguard as a fellow dragon slayer and boasting defenses above even SIegfried. Well, day’s not over.

Is Fafnir really weaker or is Servant Siegfried just better at killing dragons from his anti-dragon skill and sword crystallized in his legend?

Kickass!
