"Has it reached its limit?"

"But I have only used a fraction of my sword's edge."

As he said this, even more golden halos appeared behind the oldest king.

Golden swords belonging to his era surged forth, forming an attack like a rain of arrows.

One sword after another was teleported from the Gate of Babylon, flying toward Sakata Kintoki's body.

a bit.

Two times.

Three times.

More and more blades were embedded in Sakata Kintoki's body, and blood flowed from the wounds, running down his body and onto the ground, staining the parts that had been blackened by the flames red again.

Clang.

The enormous axe fell to the ground.

Sakata Kintoki, whose body was covered in sword blades, knelt down.

"Is that the end?"

Gilgamesh looked at Sakata Kintoki in front of him, his tone not carrying much sarcasm.

He has always treated capable people with respect.

Besides——

I did win somewhat unfairly.

Gilgamesh turned his gaze to Matou Kariya, who was not far away.

"All right."

"Next, it's your turn."

Gilgamesh descended from the sky and walked step by step toward Matou Kariya.

His eyes were filled with indifference, and he seemed to care nothing about the Master in front of him.

"Accept the death that I, the king, bestow upon you."

"..."

The fall of Sakata Kintoki plunged Matou Kariya into profound despair.

He even forgot how to resist.

This displeased Gilgamesh.

"The Servant is clearly such a capable person, but the Master seems so childish."

A golden circle appeared behind the oldest king.

The blade inside was pointed at Matou Kariya in front of him.

however--

Gilgamesh never expected that, just as he was about to execute Kariya Matou, a fist the size of a sandbag would slam heavily into his face.

That was a strike delivered with all of Sakata Kintoki's might.

No one knows how he managed to throw that punch while dozens of sword blades were stuck in his body.

But now, covered in blood, Sakata Kintoki stood right in front of Matou Kariya, protecting him like a shield.

"Don't...don't...hurt...the boss."

"Boss... is a friend..."

“Berserker, you…”

Looking at Sakata Kintoki standing in front of him, Matou Kariya suddenly felt endless regret.

He realized that if he had started preparing earlier, the outcome might have been different.

Matou Kariya's resentment towards Tokiomi Tohsaka blinded him, plunging him into an inescapable predicament of revenge.

It was only at this moment that he finally understood.

I haven't prepared enough on my own—I should at least have the help of that old man, Zouken Matou.

But it was all too late.

Sakata Kintoki's resistance was futile, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

I...I'm so sorry to him.

Gilgamesh, who had taken a solid punch from Sakata Kintoki, became enraged.

"Miscellaneous cultivators!"

"How dare you be so disrespectful to me, the King!!!"

Countless sword lights flew out.

Both members of the Berserker team perished in the night of the fire.

A few minutes later.

In accordance with the supply and demand of magic, Tokiomi Tohsaka came to Gilgamesh's side.

Looking at Matou Kariya, who was no longer recognizable as a human, the usually gentle man's forehead bulged with veins.

"Archer, what are you doing?!?!"

He was already extremely dissatisfied with Tokiomi Tohsaka's handling of the situation, and on top of that, he had just been punched by Kintoki Sakata.

Upon hearing these words, which sounded almost like a question, Gilgamesh immediately roared back.

"how?!"

Are you questioning what I have done?

"Tokiomi Tohsaka, don't be so arrogant! Without me, you are nothing!"

"..."

Gilgamesh's words instantly calmed Tokiomi Tohsaka down.

He realized that although Archer had disobeyed his orders, he had indeed achieved the desired results from the operation.

after all--

Although Tokiomi Tohsaka felt that he and Kariya Matou did not have any irreconcilable conflicts.

But ultimately, he was still one of the participants in the Holy Grail War.

The clash between the two was unavoidable.

Gilgamesh simply did this for himself ahead of time.

only--

His behavior was not like that of a follower, but more like that of an arrogant king.

This was a very tricky situation for Tokiomi Tohsaka—he realized he might have to make some preparations.

However, he apologized before that.

"I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds."

"..."

Gilgamesh did not respond to Tokiomi Tohsaka's apology.

In the eyes of the oldest king, this level of admitting fault was a matter of course.

He was merely greeting his servants in the mortal world, so naturally he should be so humble.

Moreover, Gilgamesh was actually more interested in the person named Kirei Kotomine than in Tokiomi Tohsaka in front of him.

That guy outwardly obeyed his teacher, Tokiomi Tohsaka.

But behind the scenes, they also engage in all sorts of underhanded tactics.

Just now, Kirei Kotomine clearly witnessed him disobeying orders and going out, yet he did nothing to stop him.

Gilgamesh sensed that his thoughts were not so simple.

perhaps--

It's not certain that I can do something for Kirei Kotomine.

And right now.

Feeling conflicted, Tokiomi Tohsaka sensed his pocket move slightly.

The phone rang.

And it was Kirei Kotomine calling.

"Kiri, what's wrong?"

"Oh, teacher, I wanted to report something to you."

"To report something?"

"Ah."

Kirei Kotomine, who was in another part of Fuyuki, nodded.

He looked at the ancient castle hidden deep in the forest before him and calmly replied.

"Assassin seems to have discovered Saber Master's hiding place."

What should we do next?

"so--"

Sakura Tohsaka looked at her teacher Vivian and seemed to understand something.
