It’s not a boast, but if Gilgamesh gives up his pride and his heart of underestimating his enemies, no one in the regular Fuyuki Holy Grail system can be his opponent.
Even the Lancer Arturia, who possesses an A++ level anti-fortress weapon, cannot take over Gilgamesh's trump card. If she comes as a Saber, she may still have a glimmer of hope to turn defeat into victory.
After all, the one summoned by the Holy Grail was only the Holy Spear King Arthur as a heroic spirit, not the divine Lion King who was sublimated and assimilated by the Anchor of the World.
The intensity of the battle with Red A at Emiya's residence was not too high. Only a B-level Noble Phantasm was used at the end. Lu Xiao still had a lot of magic power left.
Emiya's residence and the magic workshop purchased by Lu Xiao are located in the suburbs of Miyama Town, only a few blocks away from each other.
When Lu Xiao rushed back to the workshop, the magic defense system deployed by Da Vinci had begun to collapse.
Gilgamesh chose a tall street lamp as his foothold as always. A dozen golden ripples appeared behind him, and a large number of precious phantoms shot out from the King's Treasure.
A small number of A-level Noble Phantasms can penetrate the workshop barrier without any hindrance and directly bombard the courtyard.
The remaining defense system is still resisting, barely blocking the coordinated attacks of other mid- to low-level Noble Phantasms.
With the powerful vision brought by the A-level Eagle Eyes, Lu Xiao could see a bolt of lightning approaching rapidly from the distant sky.
"Allah, all, all, all!"
Before the mighty wheels reached the scene, Iskandar's charging cry first reached the ears of Gilgamesh and Lu Xiao.
"Um?"
Gilgamesh, who was busy attacking the workshop, tilted his head. The thunder falling from the sky forced him to jump away from the street lamp, and turned part of the King's Treasure's Noble Phantasm to attack the charging Kamui Wheel.
"ha!"
With an excited look on his face, Iskandar waved the sword in his hand and knocked away the incoming Noble Phantasms. The thunder and lightning from the rapid speed of the Divine Wheel knocked down a small number of the incoming Noble Phantasms from the sky.
"Tsk!"
Forced to land on the ground, Gilgamesh's originally arrogant expression became very unhappy.
"King of Conqueror, if you dare to take the initiative to provoke me, it means that you are ready to be eliminated early!"
After forcing Gilgamesh back, Iskandar did not stop the cart and continued to spin in the air to maintain mobility.
"Hahaha! Hero King of Babylon, it's only a matter of time before I have a decisive battle with you, but that's not today. I'm just here to help my allies this time."
"snort!"
Gilgamesh snorted disdainfully: "In the face of the pressure from my king, do you choose to stay together for warmth? Wise judgment, but do you think you can stop me like this!"
"Open it! The treasure trove of Babylon! Let the bastards see the spirit of a true king!"
Countless doors of Noble Phantasms opened, and the heroic Iskandar couldn't even laugh when he saw this spectacular scene.
"Is it the treasure house of Babylon? I really want to rush to the other end of the door and take the entire treasure house as my own."
Under the tremendous pressure, Weber's whole body was trembling. Iskandar's inappropriate joke made him subconsciously complain: "At this time, if you are still in the mood to think about these things, how are you going to deal with these Noble Phantasms in the sky?
!”
"Don't worry, kid, as long as you run, you won't be hit so easily."
Iskandar controlled the divine wheel to continue accelerating, and the bullock cart that completely turned into lightning flashed in the night sky at a speed beyond human understanding. Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm wasted no time and could not hit them.
While Iskandar drew Gilgamesh's attention, Lu Xiao quietly slipped into the bombed-out workshop and first confirmed the evacuation of Rin, Da Vinci and others.
Using the semi-solidified portal that Lu Xiao had prepared in advance in the basement of the workshop, Da Vinci and others brought all important items and teleported to the shrine of Ryudong Temple, the stronghold prepared by Lu Xiao for the decisive battle.
Due to the powerful barrier placed throughout Ryudong Temple, Leonardo da Vinci, as a heroic spirit, could only enter the interior of the temple through this long approach.
The all-terrain magic puppet made by Leonardo da Vinci quickly sent the group into the temple, and all surveillance and defense puppets scattered around Liudong Temple were activated.
When Lu Xiao rushed back, Da Vinci and others had already evacuated, and the Magic Workshop only used the remaining magic power to carry out self-disciplined defense.
"Whoosh!"
A signal arrow formed by magic power rose high from the magic workshop, and when it flew high into the sky, it suddenly exploded into colorful magic light spots.
Iskandar still kept moving at high speed to avoid the bombardment of Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm. When he saw the signal arrow, he laughed and shook the reins to turn the direction of the ox cart.
"Haha! The entertainment time is over, King of Heroes. That's it for today's warm-up. Let's leave our decisive battle for another day. I believe that day is not far away!"
It was already difficult to catch up with Iskandar, who was driving away at full speed. Gilgamesh frowned and looked at the abandoned workshop that had completely released its defenses, and curled his lips in displeasure.
"You bastard, you ran away so fast. Did you guess in advance that the king would come to save face tonight?"
Ignoring Tokiomi's "advice" to continue searching for the whereabouts of Assassin and Caster, Gilgamesh turned into a spirit and disappeared on the streets of Miyama Town.
…
"Uh~ah!"
In an abandoned hospital on the outskirts of Shinto, Emiya Kiritsugu, who had been shot by a bullet, was rolling on the ground in pain.
The magic circuits throughout his body felt like they were being burned by fire, and the burning sensation that penetrated his soul was even unbearable for Kiritsugu, who had always been strong.
Everyone in the world of Xingyue has his or her own origin.
Origin, also known as chaotic impulse, is conceptually close to the "cause" of the beginning of life. It is the inescapable fate set by humans at birth.
Every human being will follow primitive impulses, instinctively seek his own origin, and act according to the guidance of his origin.
In the Realm of the Sky, the origin of Kurogiri Flower is "taboo". She will unconsciously pursue taboo behaviors that are not allowed by common sense, such as... falling in love with her biological brother Kurogiya... Mikiya.
Another example is that Red A's origin is a sword. When he uses magic to project weapons, the success rate and accuracy of sword-type weapons are significantly higher.
Emiya Kiritsugu's origin is the concept of cutting and joining, which is subtly different from the concepts of destruction and regeneration.
The combination in Kiritsugu's origin does not mean repair. When objects are cut and reconnected, the connection will be slightly different from the original state.
The magic circuit is the most delicate "organ" in the magician's body, and slight deviations can lead to extremely serious consequences.
The more magic circuits a magician has, the greater the damage he will receive after being hit by the origin bullet.
Kiritsugu is the fifth generation of the Emiya family. Although Kiritsugu's magic circuits are much better than Weber's, they are definitely not top-notch.
The origin bomb caused considerable damage to his magic circuit, but it was not enough to kill him.
Just like what Kenneth said sarcastically, the effect of the origin bomb comes from Kiritsugu's own origin after all.
If you spend several years slowly recuperating, you should have a chance to restore the magic circuit to its original state.
But at least Kiritsugu couldn't make it in time for this Holy Grail War. The despair of failing to save the world was what he couldn't accept the most.
After the incomplete Holy Spear of Liberation, and then hurriedly taking Kiritsugu and Maiya across most of Fuyuki City, Arturia was in a very bad state at this time.
In order to save mana, the war horse Don Stallion was temporarily dismissed after landing in the abandoned hospital.
Arturia stuck the holy spear on the ground beside her, sat down against the wall of the hospital, closed her eyes and rested, trying to speed up the recovery of magic power as much as possible.
Except for servants who have the ability to act alone, most heroic spirits will dissipate quickly if they lose their master.
Thanks to the dragon core in Arturia's body that automatically generates magic power, she can continue to exist in the world even if she loses the supply of magic power from her Master.
However, it would be too much for her to fight in this state. Arturia has already been mentally prepared for defeat in this Holy Grail War.
"Uh! It's not over yet..."
Kiritsugu, who had bulging veins all over his head, endured the pain and turned himself over from the ground with difficulty.
"Maiya."
"I am here."
Kiritsugu held Maiya's hand with his right hand engraved with the Command Seal: "I transfer the Command Seal to you, and you will continue to fight on my behalf."
There was a trace of hesitation on Maiya's face.
Kuon Maiya is Emiya Kiritsugu's assistant who was picked up from the battlefield and trained by herself. She can barely be regarded as a first-generation magician. She can only use some superficial spells, has very few magic circuits, and the total amount of magic power is pitifully weak.
"This is the only option."
Kiritsugu held Maiya's hand with trembling hands, with the last trace of despair in his eyes.
