[hr]What should have been a fearsome battle was over instantly, an even match irreversibly tilted in an instant. The King of the Oni and the Strongest Man of All Greece* going head to head with a ferocity that was beyond the full force of such already extraordinary beings... But something was amiss. The climactic impact between two Noble Phantasms that would set the tone for the ensuing fight spelled the end of the confrontation between the Berserker of Greece and the Berserker of Mount Ooe... But that omits all the relevant details.

Normally the great charge of the godly serpent would stall, even if it could break through the mightiest of shields it could not do so before the man standing behind it could mount another defense... But that was before the balance was broken by the actions of Shuten's master. The Tree, tree with a capital T, was something altogether impossible in this day and age. A boundless source of Mana from the age of Gods, capital m mana and capital g gods, that flooded her system with more energy of a higher purity than she could ever dream of having access to. If Ana's own weakness had been holding her back, and it had, this was the inverse of that. 

Shuten and Orochi charged forward headless of the flung spear, and the serpent head she perched upon opened it's great jaws and [s]effortlessly swallowed down the weapon. An attack that should be fatal for almost any servant was nullified completely by the great god of Mount Ooe's hungry toothy maw. That same maw that would crash down on Ajax and end his life before he could even come to understand exactly what had just happened.

But even that was not so simple, for that head was only one of eight and lagging behind the rest to boot! Seven more heads proceeded it. One after another in turn each head of the great serpent sank their teeth into the shield with strength no servant could ever dream of, stripping away all seven layers of protection and leaving their prey exposed. 

This was something that could be described technically a sequence of separate events that unfolded one after another but only technically. the attacks came so close together with such coordination that even for the purposes of a servant with something like for example Eye of the Mind would only have the barest and most useless notion that these attacks were not in fact simultaneous. The one attack in that nigh-simultaneous sequence that did not target the projected shield was of course that the head Shuten had embarked upon, and by extension Shuten herself. 

Orochi tilted it's head just slightly to the side as it moved in through the breach in Ajax's defenses and his maw closed violently over the shield itself, and in the process most of Ajax's body. It was over, he was pinned in its monstrous jaws and his shield-arm, legs, and torso were crushed into bloody paste that in no way resembled human. Before the shock of such an action could even set in the helmeted head that stuck up awkwardly between the phantasmal beast's great teeth was severed instantly by Shuten's sword, swung haph-hazardly and with a frown. 

Shuten sat down with a pout, legs and arms both crossed as she began to whine. "[color=a187be]Otou-sa~~~n... You ruined the meal for everyone else. It's like you want to starve your poor daughter![/color]" Orochi merely swallowed in response, solidifying his role as a subpar father figure.[/s]

*Not the strongest hero of Greece, merely the strongest mortal man... but what is Ruler-san up to anyways?
