Shirou Emiya is challenging FGO

Chapter 4: A Dazzling Sword (Newbies please read!)
4. A Dazzling Knife
Theoretically, the advantage is still on Gilgamesh's side.

For example, he only needed to take out a large number of shields from the King's Treasure, set up a shield wall, forcibly increase the distance, and then flee with all his strength, bombarding "flying the kite" with endless treasures while escaping.

But for Gilgamesh, who had an extremely proud character, he would rather die than adopt such a tactic against such a "weak bastard" in front of him.

——Besides
Even if Gilgamesh did not adopt this "awkward" tactic, and simply confronted head-on, the theoretical advantage would still be on Gilgamesh's side.

The singularity of the celestial world, 'Shirou', no matter how powerful his three-phase projection is, magic must also abide by the basic laws.

A seven-year-old child whose body is near death
Shirou can fight now only because the 'projection state' is still maintained. On the other hand, as long as he has the slightest flaw and the flow of magic power is slightly disrupted, the projection state may be interrupted.

As long as the projection state is interrupted, he will be just a little ghost!
If there is a mistake between the spirit and the body, Gilgamesh will be the winner!

Even if this kid's will, which is as stubborn as Gilgamesh's, can hold on, his body may not agree!
That's right.

For example, as long as Gilgamesh, who also drew out two long swords at this moment, could gain a slight advantage in the hand-to-hand combat with Shirou, and put a little "pressure" on Shirou's body!
Any of them could destroy Shirou's 'projection state' and seal the victory!

Shirou himself, who was projecting Miyamoto Musashi's 'Psychic Technique' at this time, should be very clear about this.

But in those still pure and innocent eyes, there was not the slightest concern for his own safety, only for Gilgamesh's vital points!
The mind is like a mirror and still water - live towards death!

Gilgamesh's forehead was throbbing with anger: "It's just a fake imitation of someone else!!!"

The Angry Hero King! Of course he refuses to back down!
The clash of sharp blades! The clanging of swords!
[Theoretically speaking, Shirou, who has entered the 'Three-Phase Projection·Musashi' mode at this time, has temporarily gained the same martial arts and physical fitness as Musashi]

[Gilgamesh, who refused to back down due to his arrogance, did not adopt the "flying the kite" approach, but directly engaged Shirou in a hand-to-hand fight with his two swords. In the field of hand-to-hand combat, he was still far inferior to the swordsman who pursued pure martial arts.]

[But Shirou will not have an advantage in hand-to-hand combat because of this, because the body is in an overloaded state, any successful application of external force may cause the projection state to be broken.]

[In summary, both sides have a 50-50 chance of winning - let's make the decision! ]

【Confrontation judgment! 】

[Gilgamesh's 'It's just a fake imitation of someone else! (Hand-to-hand combat)': 1D100=5 (Big Failure)]

[Miyamoto Shirou's 'Mirror Shisui: Niten Ichiryu (Hand-to-Hand Combat Performance)': 1D100=95]

【5＜95】

Gilgamesh knew that as long as he could hold on for a while, the boy in front of him would reach his limit, and once the three-phase projection effect ended, he would die!

But the arrogant Hero King would definitely not be able to tolerate winning in this way when he has the advantage!
Even though he is not as skilled in hand-to-hand combat as Shirou (Musashi), Gilgamesh can not only fight with Shirou, but can also constantly summon the King's Treasure to launch a fierce attack while fighting.

However, the speed of the two swords in Shirou's hands was getting faster and faster! Just as Gilgamesh opened the portal to the King's Treasure, the golden ripples just swayed in the air, and the portal to the King's Treasure was cut into pieces!

--wrong!
Whether it is the boy in front of him, or the two swords from the King's Treasure that he is wielding, neither of them has the ability to "cut off the space portal"!

The real problem lies with that woman (Miyamoto Musashi)!
Gilgamesh's gaze instantly passed over Shirou in front of him and looked at the female swordsman behind him.

While Shirou was engaging in hand-to-hand combat with Gilgamesh, the female Musashi was not idle either. Instead, she provided full cover and cooperated with Shirou's frontal attack.

The many portals of the King's Treasure opened by Gilgamesh, those that were close and within Shirou's attack range, were all chopped into pieces by Shirou.

And those Noble Phantasms that were outside Shirou's attack range and wanted to attack Shirou from his blind spots were all shot down and intercepted by Miyamoto Musashi!

Gilgamesh has rich combat experience. Although this is the first time he faces the 'Shirou Emiya of the celestial world', with his clairvoyance and omniscience star activated, even if he cannot see through the special individual in front of him, he can still obtain information about Shirou Emiya in other world lines - including information about other battles between himself and other Shirou Emiya.

Even though it was the first time Gilgamesh had seen the 'Three-phase Projection', he was already tired of seeing things like 'Emiya Shirou's projection magic'.

The three-phase projection of 'Miyamoto Shirou' in front of him obviously does not have the characteristic of 'expertise in projection of sword-type Noble Phantasms' like the general Emiya Shirou - at least not yet.

Instead, there is the ability to project the target's 'spiritual base' and overlay it on oneself.

Theoretically, the upper limit is higher, but the restrictions are also greater. He cannot project abilities that he cannot fully understand - in other words, if he wants to improve the completion of the three-phase projection, he needs to spend more time on "understanding the projection object".

So the question is, Shirou was able to forcibly "shred" the portal to the King's Treasure at this time. Was it because he successfully projected Gilgamesh's spiritual base and thus usurped partial control over the King's Treasure?
--no
Gilgamesh could see that the fact that Shirou in front of him could project Musashi was just a special case of coincidences. It was impossible for him to project himself in such a short time!

To put it another way, even if he could project Gilgamesh's data, it would be impossible for him to mix the data of Musashi and Gilgamesh in his own messy body!

(So the problem still lies with that woman, with that woman's 'eyes'!)
That's right! The key lies in Miyamoto Musashi's "Heavenly Eye" power!

This woman had no idea about the King's Treasure's alternate dimension, let alone the principle of the King's Treasure's projection tool. She just thought that the golden ripples were 'some kind of magic' and thought that she could destroy it with a sword.

Because she is so 'cognitive', it can be achieved within her range of perception.

In other words——

(The bastard kid in front of me is just a kid. The one who poses a fatal threat to me in this battle is indeed that woman! She seems to be covering for the kid and cooperating with him, but she is actually looking for an opportunity to launch a fatal attack on me!)
In the blink of an eye during the fierce battle, Gilgamesh made this judgment.

That's right.

The real threat is that woman, the bastard kid in front of him is just a cover!
This is a fatal misjudgment
Amid the flashing of swords and sabers, the Hero King made the most basic mistake: underestimating the enemy.

I underestimated this seven-year-old boy in front of me!

"You're a fake!"

Annoyed! Angry!
The very existence of Miyamoto Shirou in front of him is constantly adding fuel to the unhappiness of the Hero King!

It was because the existence of the young man at this moment was similar to the 'young period' of his only close friend (Enkidu) that had once made him extremely annoyed, but it was also plausible, so he found it extremely eye-catching!
"He is nothing but a bastard who chases after other people's phantoms, wields borrowed skills, uses stolen weapons, and has no decent way of survival—" The only answer King Gilgamesh got was a silent face and a cold sword.

--clang! ! !

Gilgamesh: “!?”

Suddenly, a turning point came.

Gilgamesh was getting more and more angry, and he was going to take the damage and increase his attack strength, trying to forcibly destroy Miyamoto Shirou's "projection state" -

He was about to swing his sword, but was suddenly hit by Shirou's double swords at the moment before he made a move!
Faster and more powerful, Gilgamesh's action was predicted and countered before he 'swung his sword', forcibly interrupted!
——Being "discovered"
The huge force flowed along the two swords in Gilgamesh's hands, shaking the knuckles of his hands holding the swords. For a moment, the hero king's posture was destroyed, and the middle door was wide open! The two swords in his hands were almost out of his hands, and his weaknesses were exposed!

A fatal flaw! Shirou successfully created it!

Almost at the same time, Miyamoto Musashi, who was hiding behind Shirou and seemed to be doing his best to cover Shirou, suddenly changed his aura. The cold murderous aura instantly condensed into a sharp blade and rushed straight towards Gilgamesh!

But the furious Hero King will not sit still and wait for death!
Draw the Sword of Separation? At this distance, it was too late to draw the sword and unleash its power. Besides, his clairvoyance and omniscience had seen him fail many times when he made this choice, so Gilgamesh's choice at this time was -

"Ig-Alima (Mountain-slashing Sword)! Sul-sagana (Sea-slashing Sword)!"

The overwhelming amount of magical power waved, shaking the sky above Fuyuki City, and huge golden ripples appeared in the sky like a lake pouring down from the sky!
At a height that neither Shirou nor Musashi could reach, what emerged was two of the four divine weapons most commonly used by King Gilgamesh!
Those are the twin swords held by Zababa, the god of war in Sumerian legend. Zababa used them to smash thousands of mountains and burn the sea, carving the "horizon" and "sea level" in Sumerian mythology on the world. They are high-quality weapons with a spiritual base as huge as a mountain!
Gilgamesh intends to use these two magical weapons to bring the enemy, himself and all surrounding environments into the attack range!

There is no way to avoid it, Gilgamesh himself will probably be seriously injured, but the projection state of the "ugly" fake imp will definitely be destroyed, thus establishing Gilgamesh's victory in one fell swoop!
Although this way of winning still seemed very ugly to Gilgamesh, and he had nothing to be proud of when he was cornered, when he used it——

In other words, Gilgamesh won!

——Normally it should be like this
Gilgamesh considered this to be an "ugly victory for himself".

But Miyamoto Musashi shattered his arrogance.

When Musashi's murderous intent boiled and turned into a sharp sword, she put away the two swords in her hands and sheathed the two samurai swords.

She is about to release her 'ultimate secret (ultimate move)'.

She rarely used this trick, and couldn't say that she liked it very much.

There are two reasons.

First of all, she is a swordsman seeking the truth, but her special move has nothing to do with any sword skills.

Secondly, even if this trick is used, there is no guarantee of victory. On the contrary, the pressure of consumption is too heavy for her now. Once she uses all her strength, if she fails to win, it means she is basically dead. Generally speaking, when faced with a similar dilemma, Musashi will choose to run away without hesitation rather than betting on whether this trick can reverse the situation.

Come!
Musashi calls upon the "power (gift)" sleeping in his spiritual world in his heart

"——Kurigara!"

The spiritual power that has been tempered through thousands of trials overflows from Musashi's body, and his thoughts become reality!
The four-armed Kurika Acalanatha recorded in the Kurika Maha-Naga-Victory Dharani Sutra has appeared in the world!

No one knows whether it is a gift from the Shura gods or the incarnation of Musashi's spirit. Even Musashi himself cannot explain it clearly now.

For Musashi at this stage, she just knows that she can materialize this thing.

Kuligara, who was over thirty meters tall, looked like a giant holding up the sky. Two of his four arms caught the Mountain-Slaying Sword and the Sea-Slaying Sword that had just come out of the King's Treasure!
Before they gain the power to accelerate—push them back!
The other two arms punched Gilgamesh at the same time!

Gilgamesh almost subconsciously summoned hundreds of giant shields above his head in an instant to block the fists of Kurikara Acala. At the same time, the chains of heaven poured out and bound the spirit of the giant god.

For Miyamoto Musashi at this stage, after she summons the Kurikara phenomenon with all her strength, she will not be able to display her sword skills properly for a period of time because she will be exhausted for a while.

There is nothing to be afraid of a swordsman who cannot use sword skills - that's what it means.

But, this is Miyamoto Musashi, the one who loves duels and prefers to win by surprise!

When summoning the Kurikara celestial phenomenon, Musashi put away her two swords - that is to say, at this moment, her hands were empty.

--boom!

An explosion like a bolt from the blue.

Before the sound reached Gilgamesh's ears, he was hit in the head by a bullet.

The M1917 Smith & Wesson, .-inch automatic pistol bullet accurately hit Gilgamesh's forehead.

Logically speaking, bullets alone would not be effective against beings like Heroic Servants.

But——Musashi didn't know this
Because Musashi didn't know these 'settings', in her common sense, the bullet worked.

Gilgamesh, who was already in a state of stiffness due to being 'seen' by Shirou, completely lost his ability to move due to this blow. Blood spurted out and he fell backwards.

And Shirou would not let this opportunity pass him by.

Kidneys, spleen, liver, lungs, heart

From bottom to top, Shirou's blade cuts off Gilgamesh's body!
——The winner has been decided!
