Simultaneous Travel: Becoming a Legend in the Heavens.

Chapter 463 The Minotaur brutally beats the victim!
"so terrible."

Tokiomi Tohsaka, who was spying on the battlefield from home using his familiar, frowned, raised his hand slightly, and hesitated over whether to use a Command Spell to recall Archer.

Gilgamesh's strength is impeccable, but his personality is extremely arrogant and terrible. In addition, the Archer class has the inherent ability to "act alone", making him less controllable by his Master compared to other Servants.

Other Masters and Servants have a master-servant relationship, but in his case it's completely reversed. They can't even have equal rights. Only by serving his magic as a subject can Gilgamesh barely listen to a word or two of advice.

But in unexpected situations, like now, it's impossible to make him obey.

“Gilgamesh is serious; he intends to open the Gates of Babylon (Gate of Babylon) further.”

Kirei Kotomine's voice came through the magic prop, urging Tokiomi Tohsaka to make a decision.

The three-stroke Command Seal is the only item that can restrict Gilgamesh's actions. Apart from the last Command Seal used to force Gilgamesh to commit suicide, he only has two opportunities to force commands.

If I were to go against Gilgamesh's wishes now, it would mean the breakdown of my relationship with him, leaving only one final act of domination, but this is only the first night!
"It's alright, let him make a scene."

Tokiomi Tohsaka lowered his raised hand with a heavy heart. In the past, seeking the safer option, he would have chosen to use a Command Seal, but in the current situation...

"Anyway, my real name has already been exposed."

…………

"Pleasure me with your deaths!"

The rage in Archer's eyes was almost tangible; his ruby ​​pupils seemed to burn directly, launching an indiscriminate attack on everyone present.

The golden ripples expanded and enlarged, illuminating the night sky of Fuyuki City. The dazzling golden light was exceptionally brilliant, and an astonishing number of Noble Phantasms emerged from the doorway with their sharp edges.

It could be a dragon-slaying sword, a demonic sword of destruction, a hero-killing spear, or lightning that lacks a fixed form...

The various treasures, whether in human hands or created by human hands, are thrown out from all directions at will. Even without being fully unleashed, their sheer number makes them incredibly powerful.

Although he behaved like a manic-depressive, Gilgamesh's strength was undeniable, and the appearance of his Noble Phantasms, raining down upon him, drew everyone's attention.

The Gate of Babylon, a key-shaped sword connecting the treasure vault of the "Golden City," contains the prototypes of all Noble Phantasms, or the prototypes of human inventions and treasures or treasures from ancient times to the present. Rather than being the treasures stored up by Gilgamesh, it is more like the "original text of human wisdom" itself.

Simply by using Noble Phantasms, one can easily defeat powerful Servants. If one uses Noble Phantasms that are specifically designed to counter the opponent, one will be invincible.

While the sword deepest in the vault is the strongest damage dealer, the diversity of Gate of Babylon is also a major factor in making it a "golden target," one that keeps getting stronger with each patch.

boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
Dazzling golden light fell like meteors, each Noble Phantasm like a modern bomber, launching missiles from the mystical side, accompanied by towering flames, colliding and creating a deafening roar.

"Watch out, Irisviel!"

Saber solemnly dispelled the "Wind King Barrier," and Excalibur was enveloped in surging magical light, unleashing an astonishing impact that swept away the Noble Phantasms projected along the way. Rider clicked his tongue and, carrying the weak and helpless Waver, drove the oxcart at breakneck speed, leaving behind a scream that pierced the night sky.

Among the many disheveled figures, Berserker Lancelot stood out with his outstanding martial arts skills.

In the all-encompassing attack, Lancelot, who provokes Gilgamesh, and Luke, who mocks him, are the ones who receive the most Noble Phantasms. However, amidst the torrential rain of Noble Phantasms, Lancelot manages to dodge the incoming attacks with a frenzied yet methodical approach, and even manages to launch counterattacks in the gaps.

Regardless of the form of the Noble Phantasm—swords, spears, or halberds—once it falls into Lancelot's hands, it will be corrupted by an ominous red magic, allowing him to wield it with ease and deflect any incoming Noble Phantasms.

The knight will not die with his bare hands!
The famous NTR Hand is an anecdote about Lancelot being trapped in a predicament, unarmed, yet defeating his enemy with tree branches on the ground.

The weapon held by the NTR hand will be transformed into a D-rank Noble Phantasm to maintain basic output. If it is a Noble Phantasm, it will be usurped. This characteristic makes him less passive than ordinary Servants when dealing with Gilgamesh.

However, it only means being less passive.

After all, there is a gap in hard power between the two sides, and there is also a gap in the Masters who supply magic. Moreover, the saying "Knights do not die unarmed" is essentially just to save Lancelot from close combat. His ability to handle the situation with such ease is mainly due to Lancelot's outstanding martial arts skills.

"Isn't this even more rabid than Berserker... Lancelot, on the other hand, is indeed quite good."

Luke swung the weapon he had seized, the crimson spear sweeping across, repelling Lancer who was still under the control of Command Spells. He also took the opportunity to glance at Lancelot, who was watching the Noble Phantasms advance, and praised his performance.

Swah——

A dangerous rain of Noble Phantasms descended with overwhelming force, engulfing both Luke and Lancer simultaneously.

The latter's pupils constricted as he was disarmed and controlled by Command Seals to fight Luke, and was almost defeated. He had no chance of escaping this attack.

Dimurdo was simultaneously filled with two emotions: resentment and relief. He was unwilling to leave in such a humiliating way, but relieved that he was no longer bound by Command Seals to commit despicable acts.

His wish was to find a worthy lord to serve and to fight his enemies honorably. However, he failed to achieve both goals and even went against them. This exit was not what he wanted.

But, this is also good.

Dimuludo gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, gave up resistance, and waited for death to come. But a second before the howling wind arrived, he heard a calm voice in his ear.

"Lancer, I have no intention of letting a loyal and valiant knight like you leave the stage now. You deserve a better ending!"

He opened his eyes in astonishment and saw two long spears, which had been his companions for many years, flying towards him.

In the critical moment, Luke returned the Noble Phantasm he had already obtained to Lancer. He casually glanced at the dazzling light that was so close to him, then stood up straight without flinching or dodging.

Rumbling--

An astonishing number of Noble Phantasms arrived as promised, covering the unarmed figures and launching a relentless bombardment. Violent explosions ripped through the cement, turning the ground into a semi-liquid solid-liquid state, with crisscrossing cracks spreading out menacingly.

"Caster!" Lancer wielded his magic spear through the impenetrable barrier, braving the rain of Noble Phantasms as he cried out in anguish.

Even with exceptional martial arts skills, Caster's stats aren't particularly strong, and he doesn't even have a weapon. Under such an attack, he would likely be reduced to ashes.

He was ambushed by his Master using Command Spells, defeated in a direct battle, spared by a merciful act, and even caused Luke's death. Regret, hatred, shame, humiliation... all sorts of complex emotions surged in Dimurdo's heart.

"Don't worry, according to the 'no harm in smoke' principle, of course I'll be fine."

Luke reappeared, his clothes neat and tidy, not even a corner messed up. His calm and composed demeanor remained unchanged. Archer's Noble Phantasm seemed completely oblivious to him, continuing to bombard the same spot.

“Caster! How could you…” Lancer looked at Luke in surprise.

"It must be an illusion! What an exquisite technique! Even I didn't notice it at all!"

Noticing the situation, Saber blocked the Noble Phantasm in front of Irisviel and revealed the key point in one sentence.

She happens to have a conman assisting her, that's right, it's that half-Nightmare bloodline online swindler, the legendary magician known as the one who has become a spirit of Fufu—Merlin.

Although Saber herself is not proficient in illusion magic, she has an all-powerful intuition and has seen a lot of things, so she must know something.

"As expected of Saber, her senses are very sharp."

Before he has "broken out of his cocoon," his main focus is still on mental manipulation. His martial arts skills are only minor, and his illusions are just a kind of mental manipulation, a very common application.

Luke smiled as he glanced at Saber, who was bathed in a rain of Noble Phantasms, and admired the girl's resilient figure.

In reality, Saber's strength is top-tier even in a regular Holy Grail War, both in terms of stats and Noble Phantasm, but her performance is exceptionally poor, completely lacking the treatment a heroine should receive.

At the start of the Fourth Shinobi World War, he was weakened and had his Noble Phantasm sealed by Dimurd's "Cursed Yellow Rose," and then he was constantly being beaten. Regardless of Lancelot and Dimurd, even Gilles de Rais's sea monsters could be used for bondage play. Later, he was subjected to an epic and terrible marriage proposal by Gilgamesh.

The same applies to the Fifth Holy Grail War. Because Master's magic power was not strong enough, everyone was showing off, except for Saber, who was getting beaten up. Even a teacher who was enhanced by magic during her low period could be kicked twice. In return, she was captured by Medea and forced to wear a shameful transparent evening dress. Her most glorious achievement was probably splitting the Holy Grail twice.

As expected, it's all about selling meat to boost sales!

"Ugh... Ahhhhhhh—"

A hoarse, cursed voice suddenly rang out, and Lancelot, who was struggling to advance through the rain of Noble Phantasms, seemed to have reached a certain point and broken free from his Master's control.

Kariya Matou, this half-baked Crypt Lord, is no match for Lancelot, who is in his complete form.

Berserker stopped attacking Archer and instead roared, gripping two high-quality Noble Phantasm swords, and turned to charge at Saber!

While Berserk mode can cause mental confusion, the overall increase in stats is also an advantage, essentially nerfing the Noble Phantasm and strengthening normal attacks.

The berserk Lancelot showed no mercy to Saber, each strike of his longsword incredibly heavy, causing her immense pain and leaving her only able to parry with difficulty.

Saber wouldn't have performed like this originally, but she was first weakened by Lancer, and then she had to protect Irisviel from Archer's indiscriminate Noble Phantasm rain. Under these circumstances, the King of Knights was actually defeated by his knights.

"Ugh—Lord Lancelot, why?!"

"Arthur!!!"

Saber's tone was quite sorrowful; she didn't want to fight her friend, but all she got in return was an even fiercer attack.

Luke shook his head at the sight; the minotaurs beating up the victim was rather inhumane.

At least apologize first!
"You bunch of... mongrels!"

Perhaps feeling particularly humiliated that his opponent had abandoned him, Gilgamesh's rage intensified.

The number of golden ripples increased several times over, forming a vast expanse in the night sky, resembling a golden ocean. The number of projected Noble Phantasms approached three digits, and their quality was also significantly improved.

If the previous Noble Phantasms were mostly C-rank and B-rank, the ones appearing now are mostly A-rank and A+-rank, which are considered top-quality among all Noble Phantasms.

A divine weapon powerful enough to accomplish epic feats like slaying dragons and demons!
"That's a bit too unfair. Let me play with you instead."

Luke glanced at Gilgamesh. Even as an energy-efficient Servant, he had to worry about Tokiomi Tohsaka's magical power, and the scale of the attack was somewhat beyond what was expected.

Thinking of this, he gently snapped his fingers.

As if the strings of his heart had been plucked, Gilgamesh's attention was unconsciously drawn to the source of the sound, casting a gaze filled with icy killing intent.

“——”

The crimson serpentine eyes met a pair of deep, pool-like brown eyes, and the gaze froze.

"The body is merely a vessel for the soul, while the mind is the bridge between the soul and the body. Distorting this bridge can imprison the soul and dominate the body."

"Hmm... Although it's a flawed theory, and just a magic technique that was originally inherited, with its current 'essence,' it's not a problem to directly create a mental world."

"Come and keep me company for a while, King of Heroes."

Lu Ke revealed a sinister smile and launched [Mind Interference] at the golden, glittering king, his tone playful.

"It's a soul that can withstand the corruption of this world's evils, after all. It shouldn't be so easily ruined, right?"
