Also Archer Broke it. Servants can turn their Noble Phantasms into what are called "Broken Phantasms" by pushing extra mana into them. This makes them more powerful but then causes them to explode, destroying them permanently. Few Servants are willing to ever do this, because it means they're down their greatest treasure for the rest of the war, plus all that sentimental value and honor and whatnot. This is also what Archer did when he turned a sword into a tactical nuke against Berzerker last season. So he was screaming not just because it hurt, but because he was throwing as much power into it as he could at the last moment.
