Chapter 123: DULK: Chapter 123
Arthas's cautious approach in this Holy Grail War wasn't due to Flandre's weakness.
On the contrary, Flandre possessed exceptional attributes, rivaling recorded Saber and Berserker stats.
While Berserkers are powerful, their drawback is their loss of reason; Flandre, however, retained her clarity, analyzing situations better than Arthas himself.
Arthas had witnessed Flandre's Berserker-like frenzy, but thankfully, it hadn't reached a point of uncontrollability.
This frenzy might even enhance her combat prowess—a positive aspect.
Watching Flandre overpower the Caster, Arthas recalled her parameters:

Valkyrie's Blazing Sword
Rank: EX
Type: Anti-World Noble Phantasm

A world-destroying blade, unleashing devastating flames, consuming all.
Arthas knew of Valkyrie; it was a famous weapon in Norse mythology; a holy sword representing hope, it became a symbol of despair. It consumed the world during Ragnarok, then vanished.
Why was Valkyrie linked to Flandre? The name wasn't in Norse mythology.
Arthas didn't understand, perhaps because Flandre was a fictional Servant from another world?
Perhaps another world had a Valkyrie that was Flandre's sword?
Flandre had used Eye of Destruction, an unbelievable ability; it was illogical.
However, it seemed limited; it wasn't as overpowered as its name suggested; otherwise, the Caster would have been killed instantly.
Even weakened, it was a powerful A-rank Noble Phantasm.
"I dodged, but next time won't be so easy,"
Flandre said playfully to Ryuunosuke and the Caster, raising her hand again.
The Caster's eyes widened in terror; he couldn't dodge; Flandre's initial actions seemed playful, but now, he was helpless.
Something of his was in the girl's hand; she simply crushed it.
"Eye" in Eye of Destruction didn't refer to an eye, but to the "eye" of an object. Every object has an "eye"; destroying it destroys the object.
Flandre's ability was to concentrate an object's "eye" into her palm and crush it.
This seemed almost unbeatable, but it had limitations. Even with the "eye," it depended on Flandre's strength; if she was weaker, she couldn't destroy it.
Flandre's Strength wasn't the highest—a slightly lower B—but it was overwhelming against the Caster's D Strength and E Endurance.
Shredding the Caster was easy; against Saber or Rider, with comparable or superior Strength and Endurance, it would be less effective.
Defensive Noble Phantasms would also matter; this wasn't unbeatable against Servants, but it was against Masters.
Flandre could silently kill any Master before her; they'd be defenseless.
Especially the Rider who charged with his Master; but Arthas wouldn't resort to such underhanded tactics.
He desired victory, but he had his limits.
The Caster had crossed Arthas's line.
"Enough playing; end it, Flandre,"
"Understood… Master,"
Flandre, having torn off both of the Caster's shoulders, smiled bloodthirstily; she spun, opening her hands.
Heat filled the dark space; a short staff appeared in Flandre's palm.
Valkyrie's Calamity Staff, the weapon of Ragnarok, revealed its terrifying form in Flandre's hand, appearing in this world for the first time in its complete form.
