People in Type-Moon start from adopting Sakura

[Shield of the Gods: Aegis A+]

"...A sneak attack! This damned old woman actually tried to pull this trick on me. However, if you think you can eliminate me with just this little trick, you are too naive!"

Under Scathach's anticipated gaze, the Golden King, who had just suffered a great loss and was covered in dust, stepped out from the rising dust, threw the broken shield under his feet and trampled on it, then suddenly raised his hand and tore off the iron lion skin that only existed in mythology.

"Haha, Hero King, don't make that face. You were just spouting off, but due to carelessness, you ended up getting humiliated and now you're back here to lash out. You look like a kid who was showing off something just now, but then got ripped off and is still trying to keep calm. You look really lame, you know?"

Scathach sneered and continued to hit back with sharp words without mercy.

"You're just a random cultivator who relies on sneak attacks to gain this slight advantage. What are you so proud of in front of this king?!"

At this moment, Gilgamesh's face no longer had the domineering look and the arrogance of a king that he had when he first appeared. He looked at Scathach, who had attacked him and made him look so dirty, and the raging anger burning in his eyes was not concealed at all.

As he raised his arms and shouted, the number of hundreds of golden light gates doubled again the next moment, and even the entire night sky above Liudong Temple was completely swallowed up by the golden ripples.

Light, golden light illuminated the entire night sky. This spectacular scene was far more dazzling than when Vimana appeared. Even the residents of Fuyuki City, who were thousands of meters away, could clearly see the golden sun rising above Ryuudo Temple at this moment, which was as bright as daylight.

Even Kotomine Kirei, who had specifically suggested to Gilgamesh that they split up and go alone to the bottom of the Fuyuki City Gymnasium to look for Emiya Kiritsugu, knew that Gilgamesh was completely enraged when he saw this horrifying scene.

Originally, according to common sense...

Seeing the high and mighty Gilgamesh get so angry and behave so unbelievably, he should have felt happy in his heart...

But for some reason, it was difficult for him to have such evil thoughts in his heart at this moment.

The memories of the past and the words his father had said began to echo in his ears again.

"Kirei, only by earnestly seeking your own meaning and doing what you believe is right, only by being able to do this, can you truly redeem yourself..."

“Do you want to do what you want to do, do what you think is right?”

Kotomine Kirei kept repeating these words in his mind, and then his eyes gradually became blurred, and he couldn't help but think about something.

So what kind of things and what kind of choices are right for you?

Killing Tokiomi-sensei would bring him pleasure, but that was undoubtedly an evil act, a twisted emotion, and according to his father's ideas, it was definitely not redemption.

I, who had always pursued evil and explored malice, should have felt the same joy as I did then when I saw such a chaotic scene, but...

He couldn't be happy now.

Kotomine Kirei recalled what his father said during the revolving lantern show, and also recalled Gilgamesh's guidance to him. His heart fell into great contradiction and struggle.

Joy and redemption...

The two are contradictory, and one of them must be wrong. So what is the right thing for me?

He was once again confused and eagerly sought answers.

With this thought, Kotomine Kirei immediately retracted his confused gaze towards Ryudo Temple and shifted his target back to the correct location where the Greater Holy Grail was about to descend, below the gymnasium in Fuyuki City. He took a step forward and began to move towards there with all his might.

Although he didn't know why, his intuition told him that maybe this time he could get the real answer there.

With this in mind, and having made up his mind, Kotomine Kirei, who was eager for the answer in his heart, no longer stopped. He took steps with all his strength and sprinted towards the gymnasium, hoping to get the true answer in his heart there.

His footsteps became faster and faster, and his figure gradually moved away, and then soon after he left here.

A middle-aged man in a red suit, a goatee and a cane also chased here.

He stared intently at Kotomine Kirei's back as he walked away towards the gymnasium, clenched his fists, and squeezed the mercury sword stained with his own blood until it hummed.

"I finally found you...damn traitor!!"

Tōsaka Tokiomi cursed in a low voice, and his attitude was completely different from his former elegance and easy-going nature. At this moment, his eyes were as gloomy as a wild beast, chasing its target and wanting to devour it.

Then he followed the direction Kotomine Kirei left and ran at full speed towards the gymnasium in Fuyuki City.

At this moment, the world has completed a closed loop again.

……

On the other side, inside Liudong Temple.

It was light, a dazzling golden glow that had already illuminated the entire world. Swords, spears, halberds, axes, halberds, hooks, and forks poured down from the golden light gate in the sky at a speed close to the speed of sound, like golden waves.

Gilgamesh, who was completely enraged and had no interest in playing anymore, floated in the air, controlling a golden torrent composed of endless divine weapons and pouring down towards Scathach below.

"Come on! Queen of the Land of Shadows, no... you damned old woman! Just unleash whatever skills you have on me! Perform with your cunning Master and please me for a moment!!"

"How dare you, Gilgamesh! Are you ready to pay the price for your words and actions again?!"

Scathach spun her magic spear, and the terrifying magic power overflowed and resounded through the night sky. The entire hilltop of Ryudo Temple was shaking violently because of the terrifying magic power she unleashed at this moment.

"Master!"

"I understand. In the name of the Command Seal, Scathach releases the Noble Phantasm."

She looked up at the golden king in the sky, then ignored the rain of treasures falling from the sky and swung her spear again.

“——Gáe Bolg Alternative (Gáe Bolg Alternative)!!”

"Damn bastard, is this the only trick you have?!"

Gilgamesh's brow twitched wildly at the sight of the incoming purple light, and he summoned Vimana to soar into the air once again. He waved his hand, and the golden ripples in the sky doubled in size. While dodging the purple light, he also locked onto the golden light gate. The next moment, hundreds of Noble Phantasms from the treasury unleashed a saturation-destroying attack on Scathach below at supersonic speed. Facing this Queen of the Land of Shadows, whose power was indeed not to be underestimated, Gilgamesh unleashed a terrifying firepower capable of razing half of Fuyuki City to the ground.

“Boom!!”

The violent explosion caused earth-shaking changes on the surface of the earth. In the rain of explosive light, all the buildings above the Ryuudo Temple were directly destroyed. And this time, Gilgamesh did not directly retract the ejected Noble Phantasm as usual, but threw it down as a disposable item in the form of illusion collapse, so as to exert its maximum power.

Rumble——! ! !

The terrifying blast, unleashed with unparalleled force, flattened an area thousands of meters in radius. The terrifying force reduced trees, flowers, and rubble to dust, reducing the centuries-old temple to ash. The terrifying sound could be heard even by the residents of Fuyuki City, kilometers away. Those who had been sleeping were suddenly awakened and fled their homes, staring in disbelief at the continuous explosions emanating from Ryudo Temple, believing them to be missiles. The shimmering golden light in the night sky and the thick black smoke rising from the illusion of collapse looked like a demonic smile to them.

Are the missiles coming again? What the hell is going on?! Fuyuki City has been attacked again! Where are the Self-Defense Forces? Where are the Self-Defense Forces?! Hurry and save Fuyuki City!

"Hmph, miscellaneous cultivator, now you know how powerful I am."

Gilgamesh in mid-air continued to vent his terrifying firepower towards the bottom without holding back. Finally, after venting his firepower seriously for a while, he gradually reduced the number of light gates, then snorted coldly, looking down at the position where Rowe and Scathach were, ready to appreciate their miserable situation at the moment.

however--

"Haha, is this all you're capable of? Golden Pika?"

Gilgamesh's veins bulged when he heard Scathach's annoying voice again. At this moment, he saw that Scathach was hiding behind Rowe, giving him a provocative look.

"How come your most powerful attack can't even break through the Master's magical defense? Hey, King of Heroes, do you have enough weapons in reserve?"

Blue and brown angelic figures appeared in front of Rowe, symbolizing the protected earth and the healing hurricane. The two defensive forces were maximized with the blessing of the Sage's Staff, and actually turned into a barrier to withstand Gilgamesh's bombardment.

Without giving Gilgamesh any more time to say anything, Scathach, who had already finished accumulating power, raised her hand and shot out two extremely hot scarlet magic spears towards him. Their speed was no less than that of the Noble Phantasm that Gilgamesh had just shot out. One was long and the other was short, and they attacked the Ark of Light directly from two different directions, intending to tear apart everything that blocked their way.

"Damn it! How dare you say that!!"

Gilgamesh cursed angrily and was about to control Vimana to fly into the air to avoid the two scarlet magic spears that were shot at him at high speed.

However, the next moment, his body suddenly sank. The increased gravity on his body and the crumbling golden ark made him realize that the situation was not good.

"You rubbish cultivator!!" He suddenly looked down at Luo Wei who was exerting gravity control on him, and couldn't help but curse.

Being able to defend, heal, and even provide control, the abilities this damned kid possesses are truly annoying!!

However, the situation at this moment was already doomed. A brief moment of mistake caused the Vimana's hull to be directly hit by the two vermilion magic spears, leaving no way to avoid it.

Two extremely violent energies suddenly erupted in the golden night sky, targeting the golden boat soaring in the sky.

Boom——! !

Under the precise hits of the two magic spears, the powerful magic force pierced through the Vimana in the sky without any suspense. The collision between the treasures caused an extremely terrifying and violent reaction in an instant. The strong flashes and endless powerful flames produced by the explosion of the two different strongest forces were so dazzling even in the night sky that had been dyed golden at dawn.

Although of a different nature, the equally terrifying mushroom cloud appeared once again above the country, swaying wildly and blooming, weighing heavily on the hearts of those who observed it.

Seeing this scene, some old people who had experienced that cruel war looked sad, some people with poor psychological endurance were even frightened to the point of collapsing on the ground, and some even wailed in pain and fell to the ground, just like the golden boat falling from the sky.

As the first fireworks flickered and bloomed, Fuyuki City tonight was still an extremely peaceful night.

however……

The battle between mythical heroes continues.

Chapter 85 Fuyuki City Gas Explosion Incident

Rumble, rumble—! ! !

The golden light dyed the dark night sky golden. Above the sky, countless treasures of various kinds poured down like a rainstorm, smashing heavily to the ground with bursts of extremely sharp explosions.

The air and the soil are filled with a strong magical scent.

The area of several kilometers around Ryudo Temple.

Because of the continuous explosions, coupled with the terrifying momentum that shook the earth and sky, the residents of Fuyuki City who were still immersed in their dreams woke up in panic.

Then, in fear and panic, they began to flee, frantically fleeing to relatively safe places on the edge of the city, or directly hiding in special air-raid shelters underground in the city, began to tremble, and prayed in their hearts for rescue from the Self-Defense Forces.

The entire Fuyuki City was completely plunged into panic, and the shadow of terror once again shrouded people's hearts.

That day, the residents of Fuyuki City once again recalled the fear of being dominated by war.

Outside, thousands of meters above the ground, dazzling golden light and explosions continued to erupt uninterruptedly.

The Vimana, the glorious ship flying in the night sky, also burst out with the most dazzling golden flames at this moment.

This time, this golden airship, borne from ancient mythology, was no longer a simple means of transportation; it began to exert its greatest influence on this brutal battlefield. From either side of the golden hull, countless powerful firepower suddenly burst out from the night sky, the magical light it emitted like a dazzling meteor shower falling to the earth, continuously crashing down towards the hills below, which had been bombed to scorch.

Rumble——! ! !

A sharp sound of thunder suddenly rang out on the flat ground, and the terrifying explosion that followed made the earth seem as if it was plowed by the bull of heaven, affecting the buildings in the entire Fuyuki City, and the high-rise buildings also shook violently at this moment.

Knowing that the Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows who had lived for who knows how many years was best known for her martial arts, in order to ensure victory in this battle, Gilgamesh was not so arrogant as to engage in a head-on confrontation with this old guy who had lived for who knows how many years and whose martial arts had reached the pinnacle. Instead, he chose to keep his distance and open fire.

With the help of the advanced maneuverability of the Vimana, the Ship of Light, it stopped in the sky, and then used the countless ancient weapons on board and the full power of the King's Treasury to saturate the entire area below and carry out continuous bombing, hoping to circumvent the opponent's advantages, and use such tactics to consume Scathach's own physical strength and magic power, ensuring that she can always be invincible.

To this end, he even rarely used the illusion of collapse, which he would only use when facing his close friends, trying to cause maximum damage to the Queen of Death below and force her into a desperate situation.

This time, Gilgamesh put aside his arrogance, proactively analyzed the situation, and began to give it his all.

And his idea was indeed not wrong.

Even though they are both top servants, Scathach does not have any special artifacts or decent legends that can be sublimated into the most powerful Noble Phantasms.

Whether in history or mythology, Scathach is described simply as "she once slew a god with a human body, and her martial arts skills have reached the pinnacle." This short sentence summarizes it.

If one were to look at it from the perspective of strength, such a description would be enough to put her at the top of the Heroic Spirits. However, her performance was far inferior to that of a certain fungus's second father, the glittering and golden Ancient King, the Ancient Fat Tiger who could wield all kinds of mythological original artifacts.

Scathach was confident that if Gilgamesh was arrogant enough to fight her in close combat, or gave her the opportunity to get close, she was absolutely sure that she could pierce his heart and brain together in the shortest possible time, and then tear his arrogant and disgusting mouth apart with her own hands.

However, Gilgamesh, who also knew this and had been hit by a spear of karma before the start of the game, would naturally not give Scathach the opportunity for close combat.

The ancient nuclear warheads carried by the Radiant Ship, combined with the King's Treasure, kept coming down, facing this battle with their strongest state and attitude, ready to kill the tricky guy Scathach in one breath, without giving the other party any chance to turn the tables.

The plan went very well indeed, and Gilgamesh made full use of all his advantages without any negligence in the battle.

What he didn't expect was that the bastard Rowe had actually intercepted all the Command Seals that should have belonged to him in advance, which made the situation of Scathach at the moment completely different from what he had predicted. Under the powerful support of multiple Command Seals and infinite magic supply, Scathach, who was obviously good at martial arts, was able to change her usual behavior and successfully achieved uninterrupted firing of Noble Phantasms. She was even able to perform a thrilling Noble Phantasm duel with the Golden King who sat high on the throne of heaven. Moreover, coupled with the weird defense of the kid below, his original firepower coverage not only played no role, but was also seized by the opponent to counterattack.

--call out!

--call out!!

Two piercing sounds of breaking through the air suddenly rang out, and two vermilion magic spears cut through the sky in a flash, teleporting over, aiming directly at the golden throne in the sky that was originally out of reach.

"It's useless, it's useless! Do you think that two magic spears that have reached the pinnacle of martial arts can reach me? Don't be so naive! Old woman of the Shadow Kingdom!!"

Facing Scathach's counterattack, Gilgamesh still had a sneer on his face. He wanted to use the same trick again to control the airship to rise into the air at high speed to avoid the two powerful magic spears from bottom to top, and then continue to use the advantage of high attack to implement higher intensity firepower coverage.

However, what he didn't expect was...

During the battle, when Gilgamesh focused his attention completely on Scathach, who used the Command Seals and magic power as if they were free, Rowe, the magician whom he subconsciously ignored, also played his role at the critical moment and completed a precise coordination with Scathach in this joint attack.

--call out!!

Seeing the two scarlet rays of light cutting through the night sky and rushing towards him at high speed, Gilgamesh narrowed his eyes slightly, and then was about to continue climbing to the clouds. However, the pressure from the earth made his body suddenly sink, which startled him for a moment and he suddenly realized something.

"not good!"

Gilgamesh cried out inwardly that something was wrong.

Because not only his body, but also the Vimana under his feet was affected again at this moment, and because the effect of this magic is based on the size and weight of the enemy, the pressure Vimana endured was far greater than Gilgamesh had imagined.

"Lift me up immediately! Vimana!!"
