clack clack clack-

Shields appeared in front of Gilgamesh without his knowledge, blocking the Berserker's charge.

but--

Berserker's power is too great!

The shield began to crumble and shatter at an extremely rapid pace!

boom--

The next moment, Berserker leaped backward, surrounded by countless chains on all sides.

The Lock of Heaven!

Then...

bang bang bang-

A clash between two Noble Phantasms.

The red Archer briefly blocked Gilgamesh's Noble Phantasm for a moment using his projected Noble Phantasm.

But that's all there is to it.

This time, the King of Heroes used the highest-level Noble Phantasms to damage the Berserker, a level that Archer would struggle to even project.

With so many high-level Noble Phantasms, even he could only project an outer shell for the time being. It could be said that he was all show and no substance.

"In the end, a fake is still a fake. It's only this much. Compared to that... Conqueror King, how long do you plan to continue like this?" Gilgamesh asked.

"Hmm... well, I don't really know what to do right now. Won't using a Reality Marble inside a Reality Marble break it?" The Conqueror King said, looking at the Berserker.

"roar------!!"

"What a persistent beast! Are you really that eager for death?" Gilgamesh said, as countless Noble Phantasms formed a rain of light and shot towards Berserker once again.

At the same time, shields appeared in front of them.

He also stepped back slightly.

Berserker is indeed very strong. Even with so many Noble Phantasms attacking him, Berserker doesn't need any protection. He just charges forward bravely and uses his martial arts skills to knock away most of the Noble Phantasms.

Furthermore, he didn't die simply from having a vital organ pierced through.

Or rather, even so, they wouldn't die.

His "Combat Continuation" ability gives him great endurance, which, combined with his twelve trials, allows him to continue fighting.

Even Gilgamesh couldn't defeat him in a short time.

"Finally ready." A sword appeared in the red Archer's hand!

Its name is Ex-calibur!

Of course, it's a projection of a lower level, while on the other side... outside the Reality Marble, Kiritsugu Emiya only has one Command Seal left on the back of his hand.

"Hoo—" The red Archer let out a soft breath.

His spirit origin has begun to collapse on a small scale. The part that was restored with the Command Seals last time was already very fragile. If he wants to restore it again now, he will probably need to use two Command Seals.

Therefore, this time he didn't ask Kiritsugu Emiya to help him restore his Spirit Origin, but instead restored his magical power—

Previously, he had used a Reality Marble and... a fully prepared sword rain! Now, he was projecting the holy sword in his hand using the magic power of the Command Seal provided by Kiritsugu Emiya.

"This is the last time! He can't be resurrected now, can he, Hercules—"

"Be careful, Gilgamesh, something's wrong!" Kurokawa Kazuya hurriedly warned.

Gilgamesh frowned slightly, about to correct his disrespect for the king, when he suddenly turned around: "Oh, I see, I see. That fake has quite an idea."

"Hmm...that's certainly true." The Conqueror King nodded in agreement.

there.

It was a rain of swords that blotted out the sky.

All the swords within the entire Realized Boundary, unknowingly... converged behind Gilgamesh while he was fighting the three Heroic Spirits.

Then--

They all shot down in a flash!

Not only that—

Ahead, the red Archer also unleashed his Noble Phantasm and his Holy Sword!

Ahead was a torrent of light, behind was a torrent of swords.

This was Archer's strongest attack, powered by an enhanced version of his native abilities, using up all the mana he had accumulated to his peak, along with the support of a Command Seal from Kiritsugu Emiya, and even at the cost of his own Spirit Origin!

"Stop...stop! You bastard, stop running around!" But compared to all that, Gilgamesh was more annoyed by Kurokawa Kazuya controlling his head, making him look at the torrent of light in front of him one moment and the torrent of swords behind him the next.

"That wretched guy—"

Shield.

Countless shields.

That's all he can do now. It's too late to liberate EA, and he doesn't want to use EA anyway!

As for the others... there might be Noble Phantasms in his treasury that could withstand such abilities, but he cannot use them in his current state of being summoned.

Finally, the shield blocked his view.

Kurokawa Kazuya stopped.

"You bastard, what were you doing just now?"

"It's nothing... After all, it's a rare sight, so of course I have to remember it."

"Tsk... Ugh—never mind! I don't have time to talk to you anymore!" Gilgamesh said with dissatisfaction.

but...

Both of them were very comfortable with it.

Kurokawa Kazuya believed in his own immortality.

Gilgamesh, however, believed in his own strength!

The King's Treasury is fully opened on both sides.

Countless shields blocked the way.

If one side breaks, just make another.

Although their true names cannot be revealed, there is no doubt that these are high-level Noble Phantasms.

I don't know how much time has passed.

everything is over.

However, the release speed of the Gate of Babylon is ultimately limited.

Gilgamesh blocked the attack, but cracks appeared on his golden armor.

A small cut appeared on her face, but it healed quickly.

"It seems this is my limit," said the Heroic Spirit Archer, dispelling his Reality Marble. "But shouldn't you take a look behind you?"

"Roar——————!!!" Because the attack of the Heroic Spirit Archer failed to kill Gilgamesh in the last moment, Berserker appeared behind Gilgamesh at some point and swung his axe sword at Gilgamesh's head!

Blood splattered everywhere!

Chapter 144 An Abnormal Existence

Two Noble Phantasms pierced through Hercules' chest.

Hercules' axe smashed Gilgamesh's head apart. Blood splattered out.

"Hmm... perhaps this is what they call a lose-lose situation." The Conqueror sighed as he looked at the situation before him.

“Rider... does this... mean we’ve won?” Webber said, looking at the current situation. It seemed that Berserker and Caster had both fallen.

The remaining Archer had also exhausted his magic power, and his spirit origin was on the verge of collapse.

This is the only place left.

Completely intact.

Peak magic power, all Command Seals maxed out.

"No! That's not right, it's not over yet!" Rider said, looking at the Holy Grail placed to the side. "If that manga is real, then the Lesser Grail should have appeared when there were only two Servants left. But there's no sign of that at all! One of those two must still be alive!"

“It’s Caster, isn’t it?” the Heroic Spirit Archer said. “That guy… seems to be immortal… no… he really is immortal.”

As he spoke, he looked toward Gilgamesh, the king who had been lying on the ground, and slowly stood up.

The area on his head that had been smashed open has healed.

If it weren't for the fact that part of the shoulder armor was torn, it would seem as if he had never been injured at all!

"I told you... no recklessness, no recklessness... wasn't it a good idea to use EA right away? If it weren't for my special condition, you would already be back in Valhalla by now."

Kurokawa Kazuya said to Gilgamesh, "Well... I'll just wait a little longer."

Gilgamesh's summoning lasts for thirty minutes, and there are currently twenty-six minutes remaining...

If it's still not over when there are about ten minutes left... then I'll take action myself. After all, according to the information I've gathered, each use of the Ea sword reduces the Hero King's lifespan by ten minutes.

"What does it matter?" Gilgamesh said with a smile. "This is the only chance I give to the challenger to win. Or rather, victory is as commonplace to me as eating and drinking, but failure is different. Failing a couple of times occasionally... Hmph, can't it be considered a spice of life? Otherwise, wouldn't it be too boring?"

ka ka ka-

As he spoke, Gilgamesh's armor shattered completely.

His upper body muscles were on full display.

However, there are no red markings on it because... summoning Gilgamesh requires four Command Seals. No... it seems it should be three Command Seals now.

Gilgamesh exerted different amounts of effort at different times, so the methods of summoning naturally differed as well.

Kurokawa Kazuya summoned the cheapest one this time.
